Necromancer Academy’s Genius Summoner
Chapter 156

Chapter 156

The white monsters attack became more and more intense.

Kizen students were pouring out jet-black as they held on, and they eventually reached their limits.

No matter how many times they killed the monsters, more just fell from the air and rushed in. Morale was at an all-time low.

"Stop them even if it kills you!"

The dormitory line of defense was on the brink of collapse.

With the dormitory building at their back, there was nowhere to run.

"Four big ones are coming!"

"It's over. Its really over"

Just as everyone was feeling their limits

Whish!

a black cube drifted down with the winds.

It came down on the dormitory line of defense. The cube then disintegrated, forming a magic circle, before a person popped out from within.

The students, half in despair and half in disbelief, stared. Some were pinching themselves awake, and others even burst into cheers or tears.

"Professor Jane!!!"

Jane, dressed in a black suit, walked in.

"Everyone, step back."

The Vice-President's order was absolute. Students withdrew from the defensive line they had been risking their lives to defend.

'Proudly spreading terror using Prima Materia The nerve of Efnel to call us evil.'

Her temper was at its limit. But rescuing students was the first priority.

After scanning her surroundings, Jane spread a dark magic circle on the ground with bloodshot eyes.

Fwooooooooooosh!

Tens of thousands of black butterflies shot out like firecrackers. These artificial dark-magic lives quickly scattered all over the battlefield.

As Jane slowly opened her hand, butterflies flew into it and joined together to form a large scythe.

Flap.

Flaap.

Countless butterflies clung to all the surrounding monsters, especially the gigantic ones.

Jane held the scythe in a reverse grip as a straw curse doll appeared in front of her. She held the scythe around the curse doll's neck, then decapitated it with the flick of a wrist.

Slaaaaaaaaaash!

Thousands of nearby white monsters were decapitated and tumbled to the ground. The students' jaws dropped.

'Wooaah!'

'What kind of dark magic is that?'

Jane prepared a new magic circle. Red chains rose like a waterfall from within, and butterflies clutched the ends of the chains as they flew.

Clank!

Clank!

The butterflies dragged the chains around the entire defensive line as if making a barrier. The white monsters of Prima Materia who touched the chains immediately found those spots turning black and dying. This time, it was a curse.

Turning to her students, Jane said,

"Don't leave the chains. No matter what."

"Y-Yes!"

Riding on the butterflies, she hoisted numerous chains along with her as she moved to the next battlefield. The students stared at her shrinking form, absolutely awestruck.

"Dammit."

Spat Aaron the moment he rematerialised.

"Why are you following me?"

Beside him, Bahil was following with a leisurely gait.

"Distance is meaningless to a first-class curse doctor. They can curse anyone from anywhere."

"Then why are you following me?"

"Haha, don't be so stiff. It's been a while since we formed a duo, hasn't it? It's nice. Just like the good old days."

"Those days were anything but good."

Bahil giggled before continuing,

"We have to divide into offense and defense, right? Which one would you rather?"

"Offense."

"I also wanna go for offense, so let's decide it with this."

Bahil took a coin out of his pocket.

"Heads or tails. Which would you like to choose?"

"Tails."

"Then I'll go heads."

Even surrounded by countless white monsters, the two men were fixated on the outcome of the coin toss. Bahil grinned as he checked the coin in his palm.

"Heads, as expected! You sure do know how to take care of your juniors, Senior!"

"You and your dirty tricks."

"Well then, I won't turn down your offer."

Bahil lifted his arms up to the sky.

For a moment, nothing seemed to have changed. Until some students fighting monsters looked up at the sky.

"A-A moon has!"

A second moon had appeared in the sky.

The recently created one, a full moon, overshadowed the entire Kizen campus from up close. Soon, the moon swayed, and a red eye opened from its center.

The entire moon was Bahil's magic circle.

"I'll show you the true value of a curse."

Bahil smiled and activated the magic circle.

The eye on the moon opened wide and veins came visible from within. A red light descended, and it seemed as if the world had turned the color of blood.

{Bahil Original - Eye of Medusa}

This red light immediately drew the attention of the low-intellect monsters. They raised their heads in search of what caused the mysterious phenomenon.

Crack!

Crack!

The moment their eyes looked to the moon, the monsters' bodies hardened like stone before crumbling like powder.

Swwwwwiiiiiiish.

The white monstersas well as countless other monsters in the lands around Kizenhelplessly turned to dust.

As Bahil said, he could attack monsters from anywhere.

"What's going on?"

Meilyn, struggling against monsters after her broadcast, was puzzled by the sudden change.

She raised her head.

"Wait, Meilyn! It's dangerous to look at the sky!"

Said Rick as he swung his enchanted sword to slash a white monster.

"That's Professor Bahil's curse! The famous Eye of Medusa!"

"?"

She brushed her hair behind her ears.

"I already looked at it, and I even gazed directly into the eye. Nothing's happened."

"Huh, really?"

At that, Rick also raised his head and looked at the moon.

She was right. Nothing happened. On the other hand, the surrounding monsters were being scoured from existence.

'Wow, despite the wide range, he has the control to distinguish between students and monsters? Hah! He really is a Profe!'

"Kyaaaaaaaah!"

Rick looked at her in surprise. Meilyn was suddenly soaring into the sky. A red Bone Armor was covering her.

"What, where are you going?"

"Do you think I'm doing this of my own volition, you idiot?!!"

Rattle! Rattle!

Before he knew it, Rick's body was also covered in the red Bone Armor.

"Uwaaah!"

As Rick was being pulled into the sky, his eyes widened.

Hundreds of students in red Bone Armor were flying around simultaneously. They, too, were confused.

'Wait, this red skeleton! Professor Aaron is also here!'

Looking at the red skeletons covering the sky like locusts, Rick marveled,

'How many undead are he controlling at the same time?'

Rattle. Rattle.

The red skeletons in bone armor dropped off students, including Rick and Meilyn, on the roof of a safe building and went looking for other students.

Meilyn came down to the roof and grimaced from motion sickness, but Rick laughed loudly and gestured to the scene unfolding before them.

"Bwahaha! We're saved! The professors are here!"

The other students finally grasped the situation and cheered.

'It's been a while since I controlled this much.'

Said Aaron, the caster, while pushing back his bangs.

A huge undead warship made of bones was floating above his head, and red skeletons were pouring out from the warship and roaming the entire Kizen campus.

Students who ran into the woods, into basements, inside classroom cabinets; Aaron found them all and relocated them to a safe place.

"Oh, you aren't dead yet, Senior?"

Still maintaining the Eye of Medusa, Bahil grinned.

"If you had majored in Curses rather than Summoning, you could have risen to a higher rank than you're in now, though."

"Shut up and release the petrification curse from my shoulder or I'll kill you."

"Oh, so you noticed."

* * *

Hong Feng, who arrived last, appeared on the roof of a building.

She closed her eyes and began a serious ritual dance. She took light steps while drifting her arms through the air. Then the pace quickened, and her movements intensified. It quickly evolved into high-level footwork before

Ta-ap. Clap.

She finished the movement with a clap. Then, she slowly sat down cross-legged. Both her hands were on her lap.

And

Poooooooooooow!

A thunderous explosion. The winds howled at the distortion of space.

Wham!

A white monster hundreds of meters away collapsed with a huge hole in its head.

Pow! Pow! Pow!

Still cross-legged, Hong Feng moved until her arms became a blur, and the heads of monsters swarmed all over the campus began to explode.

She was a human artillery unit. The swarming monsters were demolished by the unknown firepower.

In the meantime, the evacuating students were grabbed by Aaron's bone armor and relocated to places that Jane had secured in advance. Any monsters that survived Hong Feng's attacks turned to stone and disappeared under Bahil's curse.

There were many injured, but no one died.

Thanks to the professors, Kizen was safe once more.

"It's been a while. Saintess of Purification."

Flema, who had become a metal golem made of White Flame, didn't show anything on her face. But her body was frozen, betraying her immense confusion.

[You broke through the barrier that easily? I'm pretty sure I've put 10 years worth of resistances on that barrier!]

Nefthis smiled.

"Yeah. It certainly was difficult to get through. I did pay for those 10 years."

[!]

Flema's huge body flinched.

[Are you insane?! Just a few hundred students are worth 10 of your years?!]

Nefthis raised one of her small hands.

"They are."

Bang!

She flicked her fingers.

Flema hurriedly went to the side to avoid it, yet a giant hole was blown into her back.

[Kugh!]

Flema rushed in and swung her sword of White Flame. Nefthis opened her palm.

Tick! Tock!

A golden clock-shaped magic circle spread out in front of her. When the White Flame sword touched the barrier, it shimmered before reverting to divinity.

"Nothing in this world is free from time."

Said Nefthis.

"Mana, divinity, and jet-blackthe origins of this worldalso disappear over time. There is no such thing as eternity."

She pushed the golden magic circle with her fingertips.

It moved forward at tremendous speeds, zipping past the sword and into the huge body that made Flema.

[!!]

The metal golem wore off, and before she knew it, her body reappeared with its arms outstretched. The right arm that had been blown off was also back, and the wounds from the Greatsword of Destruction were nowhere to be seen.

Time in her had completely reverted to the past.

"Hmm."

Nefthis grinned and wriggled her fingers. The magic circle flying past Flema stopped, then turned back in the direction it came from, passing through Flema's body.

Her right arm disappeared, and the Greatsword of Destructions wounds reappeared.

[Aaaaaaaaaaagh!]

Flema, having lost her arm again, screamed. At the same time, a huge dark handreminiscent of an arm of a demongripped her from a magic circle on the floor.

"Squeeze her."

Nefthis clenched her tiny fist.

"!"

Simon, who had been watching with his jaw agape, unwittingly turned away.

The demon arm gripped her tighter and tighter until a single sound filled the room.

Pop!
