Summoning Genius of the Necromancer School, Episode 407
Crash! Smack! Crunch!
Watching their first duel between Necromancers—two boys locked in combat—the Hayward brothers couldn’t close their mouths.
“What is that?!”
“They’re getting faster!”
Bang!
Thud! Thud!
Neither boy bothered defending himself.
Pure offense, each trying only to knock the other down.
Four fists and legs stretched out, trailing afterimages so fast the eye could barely follow.
And most of all—
“Wow…!”
Even as they fought, the two boys were grinning from ear to ear, completely absorbed in the battle.
“This is amazing!”
The Hayward brothers spoke in turn, eyes gleaming with excitement.
Thwack!
The moment their kicks collided and they both retreated, both boys’ hands simultaneously rose toward each other’s heads.
<Sickness>
<Strangle>
Boom!
The two Curses clashed in midair and exploded. Black smoke from the Dark Element shrouded the air in pitch darkness.
Whoosh! Boom!
“!”
In that moment, six Toxic Potions burst through the smoke toward Hector.
Hector tried to fall back—
Swoosh!
A Cloud rope rose from the sand and instantly wrapped around Hector’s ankles, pinning him in place.
“Brilliant combo!”
“Go, Simon!”
Merin and Kamibarez cried out, hearts in their throats. Simon immediately activated a Magic Circle.
‘Break!’
Crack! Crack!
The Magic Circle etched on the potion bottles’ surfaces activated, and all six Toxic Potions shattered at once. Their contents spread wide, flooding Hector’s vision with sickly green.
<Blast>
But Hector’s response was just as swift.
He completed and activated a Magic Circle in mere seconds. The Black Wind Element swept the poison away.
Yet beyond the dispersing toxin, Simon’s figure was nowhere to be seen.
‘Above!’
Hector’s head snapped up. A massive black Subspace hung open in the sky, and Simon floated beside it.
“Loose everything!”
Simon commanded. Skeleton Archers inside the Subspace unleashed a storm of arrows.
Hector immediately stamped out the Cloud beneath his feet, unfurled a Dark Shield, and hurled himself forward. Arrows punched into the ground around him with each burst, carving a path of devastation.
“Tch!”
Now it was Hector’s turn to counterattack.
<Bone Spear>
Skeletons reassembled into multiple bundles of bone spears that flew toward Simon.
Simon quickly summoned his own Skeleton. The moment it emerged, bones scattered like buckshot and stuck to the Bone Spears with sharp impacts, twisting their trajectory.
“Oh!”
“The Undead control is quite impressive.”
This time, even the adults watching let out exclamations of admiration.
Slash!
The moment Simon landed on the sand, Hector charged forward like a rhinoceros.
Simon extended his arm.
“Restoration.”
‘What?’
Hector’s head turned to the side. Bones hidden beneath the sand began fitting together rapidly, joint by joint.
‘A Skeleton Mage!’
Three bursts of Dark Blaze engulfed Hector, but he emerged from the flames unslowed, his charge continuing forward.
‘Gate Opening!’
Now Overlord blades closed in from six directions, all converging on Hector.
Hector’s mouth fell open.
I’m fighting with everything I have.
I’m feeling the wall now.
No matter how hard I push, he receives it all.
‘How could this not be thrilling!’
His grin wouldn’t fade. Hector activated the Magic Circle completed at his back.
Whoooosh!
It wasn’t only Simon who’d hidden something in the sand. Dragon scales erupted forth, slapping wetly against Hector’s body.
And it wasn’t mere attachment.
The scales had affixed themselves to the precise points where his Overlord’s trajectory and impact were predicted to pass.
Clank-clank-clank-clank-clank-clank!
Six tentacle blades swept past Hector’s scales, scattering sparks.
“Waaah!!”
When Hector shrugged off the Overlord with ease, thunderous gasps erupted from all sides.
Simon flinched in surprise and crossed both arms in a defensive stance.
“Got you! Simon Polentia!”
Crack!
A fist driven forward in Dragon Form shattered through Simon’s guard and struck hard. His body skidded backward, leaving a long mark in the sand.
“Simon!!”
His teammates’ cries of dismay rang out. Simon stumbled but steadied himself, and Hector kept charging.
‘I took a solid hit.’
Though not yet a full Dragon Form, Hector had become someone he couldn’t defeat through raw strength alone.
And Hector himself knew it too.
‘He’ll try to escape and complete his elite guard while running.’
Yet.
Simon’s choice was unexpected.
Whoosh-whoosh-whoosh!
Whoosh-whoosh!
He shook eight Skeletons out of his Subspace and spread both arms wide.
Snap!
Click!
Click! Click!
Simon’s body was being covered in bones from the eight Skeletons.
Soon bones covered him so completely his clothes disappeared from sight. He’d grown two heads taller, and his frame had become even more massive.
It was as if he’d donned a fortress made of bone.
With a heavy tremor, Simon charged back, meeting Hector head-on.
Boom-crack!
Both locked hands and dropped into a low stance, testing their strength against each other.
Grind-grind-grind-grind-grind!
Confusion flickered across Hector’s eyes.
Clad in the thick Bone Armor, Simon wasn’t losing ground in raw power. Every fragment of bone was generating ‘attraction force’ under Simon’s Absolute Command.
‘He’s meeting me head-to-head here!’
Simon wasn’t fleeing—he was colliding with raw force.
The Simon who’d always looked up at Hector was now looking down at him.
This was truly.
“Kgh!”
A completely unpredictable opponent.
“Krahahahahahahahaha!”
Hector let loose a wild laugh.
Finally!
This is the bloodthirsty fight I’ve been waiting for.
Crack!
Crack!
As Hector roared and poured on strength, dangerous sounds began emanating from throughout the Bone Armor.
“Simon Polentiaaaa!!”
Crash!
The Bone Armor shattered completely as Hector broke through.
In the moment he stretched his arm toward Simon before him.
Crash!
Clang!
Scrape-scrape-scrape!
Snap!
Simon darted backward, and the Bone Armor switched owners.
Hector found himself trapped within the bone.
‘A trap!’
“Using this for the first time.”
Simon dropped to one knee on the sandy floor, sweeping his arm in an arc.
“This is what a Bone Prison looks like, isn’t it?”
He knew well that Hector had been looking forward to their fight.
Even that knowledge became a weapon—a key to victory.
“Simon Polentia!!”
Crack!
Crack-crack!
Hector tried to break free from the Bone Armor through sheer strength, but Simon simply flicked his finger.
“Spin.”
The moment the command left his lips, the Bone Armor began to whirl like a top. The violent vertigo sapped Hector’s strength, and his attempt to shatter the armor from within collapsed.
“……Wow!”
The Hayward brothers watching from the sidelines gaped at Simon’s ruthlessness.
“Simon. For someone who looks so unassuming, you’ve got a pretty devious side……!”
“Brilliant strategy, Simon! Finish him like this!!”
Dick shouted with an excited face.
“He read Hector’s nature perfectly. Now all he needs is to inflict Sickness and victory is certain.”
Merin nodded with satisfaction.
“A brilliant strategic move!”
Even the kindhearted Kamibarez was offering genuine praise.
The three Hayward brothers exchanged glances with one another.
‘What kind of Necromancers are these……’
Boom!
In that instant, Hector’s body—still encased in the Bone Armor—shot skyward. A Magic Circle had appeared beneath the sandy ground.
‘Damn, a jumping spell!’
Simon, who had been preparing a Curse, jerked his head up. Hector plummeted toward him still inside the Bone Armor.
Crash!
As the impact shattered the Bone Armor into fragments, Hector burst through like a damned prisoner escaping hell, launching himself forward.
‘As expected.’
Tension flickered across Simon’s retreating gaze.
‘I knew he was strong, but he’s even more powerful than I imagined. No—stronger than before.’
Simon exhaled lightly and placed his hand on the Magic Circle at his flank.
“Rejoice. I’ll be using this technique against you for the first time.”
Whirr-whirr-whirr-whirr-whirr—!
From within the Magic Circle, Simon drew forth something. Hector’s eyes widened dramatically, and he halted his advance.
Even the adults stirred.
“What is that?”
It was a long spear wreathed in violet radiance.
“A variant of the Dark Element?”
“It could be that Cloud technique Simon is known for using.”
“Neither.”
Richard shook his head, his eyes glinting.
“That is a power that did not exist before.”
Simon gripped the violet spear and slowly settled into stance.
‘What is that supposed to be!’
Uncertainty flickered in Hector’s eyes as he charged forward. Faced with a technique he had never seen, he had no choice but to brake and prepare his defense.
“Take this. Hector!”
Simon hurled the spear with all his might.
Whoosh!
Watching the Chaos Spear fly directly at him, Hector prepared to sidestep lightly.
But.
Screee—!
The spear suddenly curved sideways before Hector’s eyes.
“??!”
Whoosh!
Then upward.
Slash!
Then backward.
Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash!
Without any discernible pattern, the spear carved through empty air like a madman’s lashing, its movement resembling countless flashes of purple lightning flickering across the void.
Boom!
“!!!”
And the strike came from behind.
As Hector spun around, the Chaos Spear struck his back.
But there was no pain.
Simon clicked his tongue regretfully, watching the purple spear clatter to the ground.
“A miss.”
“What kind of game is this!!”
Hector charged forward, furious at being fooled.
Simon calmly drew three spears from his waist.
Swift.
He pulled out a spear, held it in one hand, and tossed it carelessly at random.
“Tch!”
Hector was forced to stop his advance.
Three purple flashes of lightning were embroidering the air madly. Both his body and mind screamed warnings against ignoring them and pushing forward.
Crack!
One spear grazed Hector’s shoulder.
Shwack!
Another grazed the tip of his ear.
‘Damn it! It’s impossible to predict!’
The trajectory, the speed, the force, the impact—all random.
It was pure Chaos.
‘Of course, the same goes for him!’
As Hector dropped low and surged forward, Simon leaped skyward.
Then he spread his empty palms in the air, adopting a throwing stance.
Swoosh!
Impossibly, the Chaos Spear flew directly into Simon’s waiting hands.
‘He can predict that technique!’
Boom!
Simon hurled the spear with all his might. It pierced through Hector’s guard and detonated against the Barrier Suit, unleashing a massive purple explosion.
“Gah!”
Hector crumpled to the ground, rolling from the impact harder than any before. The crowd gasped in dismay, then erupted in encouragement.
“Since you’ll figure it out soon anyway, let me explain.”
Simon seized the Chaos Spear that had fallen and spun it slowly.
“The Chaos Spear sets a destination before I throw it. The path through the air is random, but the final point of arrival is always exactly where I decide it to be.”
Hector’s eyes gleamed.
‘I’d already grasped that much. That’s why I managed to catch the spear so easily while it was darting through the air.’
Ping.
Then a sharp headache struck Hector’s skull.
“……Ugh!”
The damage itself was severe.
The moment the Chaos struck him, a headache bloomed and his thoughts scattered into chaos.
Hector pressed his palm to his forehead and rose.
‘Does it carry a curse effect?’
If so, he needed to respond in kind. Hector triggered his final Magic Circle.
Crack! Snap!
Snap!
Scales covered Hector’s entire body perfectly, and wings emerged from the Subspace, affixing themselves to his back.
His frame swelled, a tail sprouted, and his snout transformed into a reptilian shape.
<Dragon Form 100%>
-Roooaaaarrrr!
Hector, now in the form of a complete stone dragon, roared.
Screech!
A Chaos Spear hurtled toward him from behind, but Hector swept his tail with casual grace, ensnaring it before shattering it to pieces.
[Chaos or not—it means nothing before overwhelming power!]
“Then I’m ready.”
Simon pressed his hand onto the Magic Circle he’d drawn in advance.
The final Chaos spell had just been completed.
‘At last. Time to use it.’
Simon steadied his racing heart as he activated the Magic Circle.
‘A Chaos Summon!’
