Necromancer Academy’s Genius Summoner

Chapter 51



Chapter 51

After returning to the inn, Simon presented several requirements before signing a contract with Elizabeth.

To not kill humans without permission, to hunt monsters when she needs to intake bodily fluids, to not harm the people around in any way, unconditional obedience to orders, and so on.

In order to insert these terms into the contract, Simon rejected Elizabeth once.

In Simon's opinion, Elizabeth was more emotional and impulsive than humans. Rather than like a trustworthy mentor like Pier, she was more likely to become the troublemaker of the Legion. He had to make sure that she was definitely under his control.

And now, instead of him asking her to please join the Legion, she was asking him to let her join the Legion, so Simon had firmly taken the initiative.

Im telling you again, but if you head to Roke Island with me, it might feel suffocating in Piers ruins, the Forbidden Forest is your area of activity, and you wont be as free as you are now.

[Yes. Im aware.]

Elizabeth lowered her head and said,

[Feel free to restrict my freedoms. Ill do anything to be with you.]

Wasnt this undead all of a sudden too obedient? Of course, it was convenient from Simons point of view, but it was also a bit bewildering.

[All of my body and mind are yours. And I ask for only one thing in exchange for absolute loyalty.]

Her eyes shone.

[Its your affection.]

The pressure was rushing in.

Im a human, and youre undead. If uhm, you uh Want physical stuff, then

[Its a different story if you want to, but I wont force you.]

She smiled.

[For now, adoring me is enough.]

To be honest, it was super pressuring. Things she wanted, like affection or adoration Simon had never received such a request from anyone in his life.

[Tsk tsk.]

Pier clicked his tongue.

[Shes totally into you.]

What?

[Nothing.]

Anyways, it was pressuring in many ways, but he thought that this condition was acceptable in return for her loyalty. In the end, Simon decided to officially sign a contract with Elizabeth.

[Then, let us proceed.]

She grabbed the top of her dress with both her hands and pulled it wide open.

Waah! Uwaaah! What are you so suddenly doing?!

His guard being lowered, Simon got startled and covered his eyes. Seeing his reaction, Elizabeth tilted her head.

[Didnt you say youll proceed with the contract?]

Her chest opened, revealing a black core beating like a heart. Simon peeked through his fingers and looked at her core.

Ahh, how lovely.

How could being embarrassed be that cute? To think that he was really the same person who forced an unfair contract with a brazen face just a few minutes ago!

She felt herself getting more and more excited.

[Now, come on!]

Ugh.

Simon had no choice but to approach her.

Then, he took a deep breath and placed his hand on the open core inside her chest. The jet-black of the two then exploded and went wild.

Kugh!

[Ahhhhh!]

It was painful, but unlike the first time he signed a contract with the Legion, the time passed quickly.

The jet-black stabilized, and Simons dark-blue jet-black could be seen flowing from her body.

[Kuhehe! Welcome back to the Legion, Elizabeth!]

She slowly got up from her seat.

[Its been so long since I was last an undead bound by a contract.]

When Elizabeth reached out the tip of her hand, a spiders web shot out and stuck to the ceiling.

Soon, her jet-black was overlaid on her webs, and it changed its color into a soft, dark-blue light. Rather than an unsightly spider web, it looked like a beautiful, fluorescent interior decoration.

It was amazing from Simon's point of view.

It really felt like she had become undead of his possession, so he felt like he grew close with her.

[How is it, Elizabeth?!!]

[Mmmm.]

She smiled after retrieving her webs.

[Its unbelievably weak. As expected, you must be a beginner, Master.]

Urk!

Simon leaned his back against the wall, upset. Pier giggled while looking at him.

[Its a little ironic to think that I became weaker after joining the Legion than when I was a natural undead.]

The Legions undead were connected to the jet-black of the Commander, and the stronger the Commander, the stronger the Legion. Of course, in the same manner, the opposite could happen too.

Simons face turned redder than ever. Pier was laughing so hard he looked like he was about to die.

I-Im sorry for being a beginner! Still, Im in Kizen right now, so in a month or two, Im sure Ill get!

[But.]

She raised dark-blue jet-black to her fingertips once again, and her face turned red.

[Its a gentle and soothing jet-black.]

However, the wound already inflicted on the pride of the 17-year-old boy didnt heal.

Simon strode over to the bed and covered himself with a blanket.

Ill sleep.

[Kuhahahahahaa! Youre upset! Are you upset, Boy?!]

Why would I be upset when its a matter of the fact that Im weak?

[Oh my, Ive hurt your feelings, Master. Please let me apologize at your bedside.]

Go away, both of you!

Pier and Elizabeths laughter filled the room.

* * *

A whopping 50-gold mission. Simon cleared the mission within a day of teleporting in when even Jane saw it as difficult.

If he returned to Kizen like this, he might be questioned about how he had cleared this mission in one day, so Simon decided to stay in the territory and train the Legion as much as he wanted while he was at it.

Simon, Pier, and Elizabeth came to the northern mountain of the Arnish territory, where a large-scale habitat of orcs had formed.

[Well then, Master! I shall begin the tutorial for the spider undead, corpse spiders, which youll be controlling from now on.]

Said Elizabeth while putting her hand on her waist.

Spiders that had been conscripted for Simons training were walking around her.

Unlike the skeletons' eye sockets burning with jet-black, a dark-blue light shimmered from the ends of the eight legs.

At that moment, Simon raised his hand.

[Oh my, Master. The class hasnt even started yet. Do you already have a question?]

No, its something unrelated to the class, but

Simon scratched his head.

Are you going to keep calling me that Master something?

[Hohoho! Are you shy?]

As she laughed while covering her mouth, Simon turned his head, blushing.

No, its not like that, but its just a little

[If you say so. Then Ill just call you Commander. Ill proceed.]

She gave her signal by snapping her fingers. One of her corpse spiders spat its web out of its mouth.

[The main ability of the corpse spider would be the spiderweb ability called Web. Its a binding skill as well as a movement skill.]

Mm.

[Now, control the two corpse spiders that approached in front of you, Commander. And try shooting the web at the tree.]

Simon nodded and accessed the thoughts of the two corpse spiders. He then ordered,

Web.

Thwip!

Thwip!

The corpse spiders shot webs from their mouths and accurately hit the tree. The spider web spread out slightly as it was fired, and as soon as it touched the tree, it wrapped up the tree's trunk.

[Well done! Usually, the webs figured from the mouth are used for binding, and the webs fired from the tail are used for movement.]

This time, the two corpse spiders fired webs from their tails.

It was shot high and attached to a tall tree, and the spiders walked a little forward to lift their bodies off the ground.

As though riding a rope, the spiders body moved like a pendulum.

Woah! Its moving like that, but its a lot faster than I thought!

Then, it clung to the target tree and stabbed its fangs into it. It made a dent in the bark, and a green liquid flowed out.

[This is the basic combination. Would you like to try?]

Of course!

[Then, your target will be]

Her gaze turned to one side as she looked around before grinning.

[Alright. Lets try with those orcs.]

Behind the tree, two grunting orcs were approaching.

Their skin was gray, their noses were flat like a pigs, and they had abnormally developed molars protruding from their mouths.

Gray Orcs. Monsters that ruled the nearby mountain range.

They were a threat that, at one time, drove Arnish to the brink of collapse.

An actual fight all of a sudden, huh?

Still, since the stage was already set, there was no reason for him not to do it. Simon connected to the thoughts of the two corpse spiders, and the two orcs detected Simon, running toward him.

Shoot the tail web.

The two corpse spiders turned and shot their webs into the tree opposite to the orcs running.

Lift up your body and dash!

Dash.

Tap.

The corpse spiders moved like a pendulum. However, it might have been too uncontrolled. They narrowly missed the running orcs.

[Oh, that was close!]

Elizabeth, who stood in front of Simon, readied her jet-black. But Simon grabbed her by the shoulder as she was about to step in and sent her behind him.

Shoot!

Thwip! Thwip!

Cross operation. He connected to the thoughts of the spiders on the other side and sealed the movement of the orcs by shooting webs at them.

[Ugh! Guuuurgh!]

The orcs struggled to break free from the sticky web.

At the same time, the spiders that had flown to the end of the pendulum movement returned from the opposite direction and attacked the backs of the two orcs. They stuck their fangs into the orcs necks, and the orcs fell down screaming.

It worked!

The flinching orcs eventually stopped moving due to the spread of poison.

[Awesome! Your control is quite good already.]

This is basic.

[Ugh!!

[Ugurgh!]

It was then. Perhaps there was an Orc village nearby, but gray orcs kept appearing from the forest.

There are quite a few of them.

[I believe its a good situation to showcase the power of the spider troops.]

[Oh, is it a gith?! Let me out too, Boy!]

Said Piers clone attached to Simons school uniform. When Simon opened the subspace, Pier and his skeleton troops rushed out.

Since weve come this far, why dont we earn the 500 gold?

[What?]

Lets wipe out all the orc villages in this mountain range and return to Kizen.

Pier grinned as if he had been waiting for those very words.

[And replenish the forces of Legion with their corpses!]

[That sounds interesting.]

You get to train, and you get to replenish your troops. This was why being a Necromancer was good.

[Oiiiink!]

The orcs who had lost their comrades came running with a terrifying force.

Pier and Elizabeth prepared to fight, and the skeletons and the corpse spiders also made menacing sounds, awaiting orders.

Now, lets go.

Simons face formed a toothy grin.

Finally, for the first time, the stage was set to properly reveal the strength of the Legion.
