Chapter 968

Necromancer School’s Summoning Genius Episode 968

Atula told her story to Lethe.

Simon listened silently to the story from the back of the room.

The origin of the incident was Mohangje.

According to Eitula, she is from Sky Island. This is thanks to the fact that my father and older brother work as paladins in my family.

So, I came out early to say hello to the villagers before the Mohang Festival, and in the process, I happened to witness one of the selected students coming out of the ‘Forest of Divine Beasts’, where entry was prohibited.

At first, I didn’t think it was a big deal, but after the Mohang Festival was over and I was talking with the villagers, I heard a rumor that something was wrong in the sacred place and the forest of sacred trees.

She visited her brother working at the shrine and soon learned that Serapion, who had gone berserk after losing his cub, had attacked Euclid. Even the fact that the remains contained a cushion with the scent of a baby.

After hearing the whole story, she was convinced of the cause and effect of this situation.

I decided to tell the truth.

-I saw who tried to harm Priest Euclid. I’m going to tell Priest Euclid what I saw.

There was an option to report it to Afnel, but I thought it would be right to talk to Euclid first. The parties involved could have hoped that the incident would not escalate, and the most peaceful way was to resolve the issue through dialogue.

So she asked Euclid for the sacrament of excellence.

However, after making an appointment with Euclid, she fell into an inexplicable chill. I got goosebumps and broke into a cold sweat.

Thinking she had a cold, she returned to her dorm and tried to fall asleep early, but she heard the sound of someone scratching the wall with their fingernails outside the door.

Feeling puzzled, she carefully opened the door. And I saw it through the crack in the door.

“I saw the devil.”

Aetula’s shoulders shook.

“She was all red and naked. I thought she was crazy, but she was so big. “The limbs are long and the skin is as dry as leather... that...” When

Aetula showed signs of extreme anxiety, Lethe patted her back and reassured her.

Soon Aetula spoke with blue lips.

“I made eye contact with that monster. I hurriedly locked the door. But after that.”

She looked at Lethe with wide eyes.

“I don’t remember.”

“...hmm.”

“But it was definitely not an illusion or a hallucination. When I came to my senses, all that was left was-”

She took off the hospital gown she was wearing.

“This mark.”

From the shoulder to the side of the arm and thigh.

There was a red handprint.

As if the devil’s large hand was grasping her.

“I’ve had nightmares ever since. “I’m not sure if it’s really a dream or if I’m seeing reality...!”

She ripped out my hair.

“The devil was threatening me!”

-Do not say. please. Do not say. Do not say. never. To anyone. Do not say.

“He grabbed me with his big hands and kept threatening me! With a terrible voice! Shedding red tears! Opening your mouth wide as if you were going to devour me!”

Cough! Cough! Cough!

When Aetula sneezed at the sight of Sare, Lethe patted her on the back.

“Thank you for your hard work. “Thank you so much for your courage.”

“Saint...!”

“Please rest well and relax during the worship service. It is up to you to decide whether to return to Afnel or not. Of course, while you are resting, I will definitely find the devil and solve the case.”

Her eyes lit up.

“So please tell me the last time. “Who tried to harm Priest Euclid?”

Aitula placed her hand on her chest, took a few deep breaths, and then opened her mouth.

“...I definitely saw it. “They were wearing maroon robes, but they have similar body shapes, especially when you look at their hair.”

She continued trembling.

“Sister No. 3 Maricello coming out of the Forest of Divine Beasts.”

***

Simone and Lethe came out of the ward.

Then, we sat side by side on a deserted park bench and took a breather.

“In the end, the truth came out.”

Lethe said, rubbing her eyebrows with her fingertips.

“The murderer who killed Euclid was Maricello No. 3. As if that wasn’t enough, he even tried to kill you, Simon, dressed as Euclid. “He is the worst of evils, even trying to silence the witness, Eitullah.”

“....”

Simon, who was deep in thought with his hands clasped, opened his mouth.

“Then what is the identity of the demon that No. 8 Aitula saw?”

“It could be a monster owned by Maricello, an unknown summon, or a disguised form of himself. “Well, if you try Maricello, you’ll know.”

When Simon said nothing, Lethe shrugged her shoulders.

“Doesn’t everything fit together? “You said that Euclid discovered Maricello’s weakness on the Holy Train before coming up to Sky Island and they had a big fight.”

“Yes, that was Meryl’s statement.”

Lethe guessed that what Euclid had discovered was the ‘monster’.

Euclid, who saw the monster, threatened Maricello by saying that he would report it to Afnel. Eventually, unable to bear the anxiety, she secretly sent the monster to kill Euclid. If the monster was summoned from inside the dorm, it would also explain why the barrier did not react.

“But when the worship service started and you appeared with the face of Euclid, I must have been embarrassed. “This time, they must have made a detailed plan to kill you by disguising it as an accidental death.”

match!

She clapped her hands vigorously and raised the corners of her mouth.

“Isn’t this perfect reasoning?”

“...that’s right. But I’m bothered by how the puzzle fits together so well.”

Simon crossed his arms and tilted his head back.

“And if Euclid knew about the identity of the monster that Maricello was raising, why didn’t he report it to Afnel earlier?”

“The goal must have been Congolese.”

‘Maricello was captured by Lirinet during the last street visit. ‘I won’t be able to ask other kids to change it like I used to.’

Simon turned his head while thinking about that.

Then he suddenly asked.

“Maricello.”

“!”

“Do you have anything to say to me?”

Maricello looked back at Simon with a surprised face.

‘That’s a pretty explicit reaction.’

Simon smiled like a villain. Then he turned his head back again and walked ahead, whistling.

“It’s okay if you don’t have it.”

“....”

Maricello remained silent for a moment, then noticed Lirinet’s notice and followed Simone’s side.

“ruler! Watch your head! “Watch your head!”

Lirinet waved her arms.

“From here, it’s a narrow passage, so you have to take the tram to the next step!”

Clap! Clap!

A very old-looking trolley car was coming back this way.

“I’ll take the two of you in one tram! The group that arrived first should wait quietly nearby without making a fuss! “Okay?”

“yes!”

The two groups in front went first by train.

Now it was Simon and Maricello’s turn.

Simon got on the tram, and Maricello, who was across from him, clung to the end as if he didn’t like sitting next to Simon.

Shake! Shake!

Just like that, the rusty mine car left the railroad tracks, making an unsettling sound.

The two people were sitting opposite each other and turning their heads.

“...you.”

At that time, Maricello’s mouth opened.

“Someday, I will definitely...!”

Kyaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Ahhhhh!

Run away! hurry!

The conversation was interrupted by a sudden scream. The two people got up from the trolley, startled.

“what’s the matter?”

Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo!

The cave was dangerous and began to shake. When Simon and Maricello looked up, they saw the ceiling cracking apart.

The two people quickly jumped out of the cart.

Quarrrrrrrrr!

The entire cave collapsed.

***

“....”

Maricello opened his eyes.

The whole world is gray. The entire surroundings were cloudy and filled with toxic dust. The school uniform I was wearing was covered in dirt, and when I moved my hand, I touched large stones and rocks.

Cough! Cough!

She coughed, strained her eyes and looked around.

A railroad track can be seen in the dust, and a mine car crushed by the rubble can be seen in the distance. She stood up unsteadily.

“Everyone! Are you okay?”

she shouted.

“Someone please answer....”

That moment.

She paused as if she realized something.

Soon, he moved forward, cutting through the clouds of dust with unsteady steps.

Far away, in the remains of a cave.

“...”

Euclid was found lying buried in the rubble.

Seeing that he wasn’t moving, it seemed like he had lost consciousness from shock.

‘It’s hidden.’

She closed her eyes as if feeling deep regret.

Then.

“....”

Her eyes flashed for a moment.

She trudged along as if possessed, and with her arms raised, lifted up the largest piece of rock lying nearby.

plod trudge.

Then he carried the rock on his shoulder and came in front of Simon.

“Only you...”

Her arms trembled.

The corner of the mouth was torn horizontally.

“I can do it without you...!”

The moment she tries to move.

Sigh.

Simon, who I thought had passed out, was moving his fingertips quietly.
