Chapter 1025

Necromancer School’s Summoning Genius Episode 1025:

The Screaming Jungle.

It is the place where Peer first met Archemus, and the place where Archemus and Skullwings were active.

Archemus used his abilities to build a number of ‘nests’ here and mass-produce Skullwings, but when Archemus disappeared in the war with the 5th Legion and Simon was unable to pay attention for a while, most of the nests were destroyed.

It seemed like I was attacked by monsters living in the jungle.

Even though Archemus was destroyed, Simon could not lose the little air power of the 7th Legion called Skullwing. Currently, several intact nests have been recovered, and the Skullwing nest is being rebuilt by settling in a new location in the jungle.

“Interesting. “Are you saying there’s a colony of undead in a place like this?”

Simon, Jean, and Hector were making their way through the thick jungle bushes. Simon, who took the lead, smiled.

“Hold on a little longer! “We’re almost there.”

“I heard that the Screaming Jungle is a realm of nature and monsters that humans cannot reach.”

Jin gently touched a long tree branch and looked up at the sky.

“It’s darker and wetter than I thought. “It is a good environment for the undead to arise.”

“They say there are actually a lot of natural undead.”

The jungle of screams is a place where the food chain continues to circulate. While constantly fighting and being eaten by monsters, mana accumulates in naturally abandoned corpses and bones, causing them to rot and soon move as undead.

Perhaps Archemus has existed for quite a long time among the natural undead and has become an ancient undead with intelligence.

Rustle!

Soon after walking through the bushes, I saw a fairly large open area in the middle of the jungle. There, I saw tall trees, with undead flesh coiled around their trunks, reminiscent of a polluted beehive. Soon, at the top of the tree, a large lump of organs was moving around.

This is the ‘Nest’, a biological facility where Archemus produces its subordinate entities, namely Skullwings.

[Alaze. Stand by after receiving a call from the corps commander.]

At that time, a small lump of flesh covered in a robe bounced and approached Simon.

Hector, who sensed an unusual wave of pitch black, raised his claws, but Simon raised his arm to stop him.

“This is the ancient undead of my legion. “Although it is an alter ego.”

After saying that, Simon came forward and squatted down.

“Alaze, how did the experiment go?”

[Very successful.]

Alaze wiggled his body and made just enough noise for Simon to hear.

[Collection of biological samples from the Archemus nest remaining in the Screaming Jungle. research. remodeling. Augmentation. Reproduction successful. Successfully created a temporary nest from Peer’s ruins. Preparing to expand in the jungle of screams, the current headquarters. Producing sub-objects. Experiment successful.]

Clap!

Tdu-duk!

Just then, a piece of flesh exploded on top of the nest and said, ‘Keeee!’ Two black-furred bird-like things jumped out and screamed.

It was as big as an adult harpy, but it trembled like a newborn baby and tumbled out of the nest.

Coo thump! thud!

The impact of the fall caused my neck and wings to bend in opposite directions, but I clucked up! A neck that was broken and made a sound is quickly restored. After all, the undead were undead.

“It still has fur and looks like a living thing.”

Alaze explained in response to Jin’s words.

[It looks like that on the outside, but it is actually undead. Feathers decay quickly over time. Only the bones remain of the wings and body, and it transforms into the commonly known skull wing form.]

-Kkeik!

To Skullwing, his current body seemed heavy. A little more time will have to pass before the Skull Wing becomes what everyone knows.

“I didn’t come to learn about undead ecology or anything like that.”

Hector replied and looked at Jin.

“When does the Legion Studies class start?”

“You have an impatient personality, I like it.”

Jin announced the start of the Legion Studies class right here.

“Now, what’s more important than defining a territory is protecting it. If we continue to expand the Skullwing nest like this, it will be attacked by the jungle’s native monsters and disappear again. However, it is not possible to permanently station company forces such as Ancient Undead, who have a lot of work to do.”

Eventually, the monsters whose living space was narrowed became angry and began to attack the undead indiscriminately.

In particular, there were monsters that were abnormally large in size or possessed strong physical abilities. These were objects that could not be caught with Skullwing.

Simon and Hector tried to step forward, but Jin stopped them.

The basic condition for classes in this area is that the corps commander does not step forward. The core of the class was to build a ‘territory’ with only legion-type undead.

“Now, this is where the concept of tactics comes in. Even if it is a weight class difference that is originally unattainable, it changes when tactics are used.”

Jin immediately informed the two junior corps commanders about the undead corps tactics.

From formation flight, air attack formation, defense formation, and guidance tactics. Simon had previously learned a little from Jin in northern Kalos, so he absorbed the corps tactics like a sponge, immediately formed a formation and charged at the large monster.

At first, they could not defeat the powerful mutant monster, but as they surrounded and attacked it, wounding their skin and contaminating the wound with undead blood or curses, the monster eventually turned its back and ran away.

Just like the humans who hunted huge elephants in groups in the past, the concept of tactics was added to overcome an opponent that could not be defeated.

The territory of the 7th Corps was further expanded.

At the same time, the territory of the 6th Corps, which started on the opposite side, also expanded, and the areas of the two corps came into contact.

A few days after taking the legionnology class, Hector sent the 6th Legion’s Death Wyverns to keep the 7th Legion’s Skullwings in check.

“Come back now!”

Simon brought back the Skullwings. Jin, who was watching the situation, raised the corner of his mouth.

“Did he induce a fight between legions during training? He is a belligerent guy.”

“Uhm, what should I do?”

“In fact, this is also a necessary process.”

This is a turf war between legions. This was a frequent occurrence in the past when there were many corps commanders, and this was a war between corps, in which other forces of the Dark Alliance could not intervene.

While Simon held back the Skullwings, the 6th Legion expanded their territory a little further.

Simon, who saw that, also felt his competitive spirit burning. My whole body became itchy.

“Since they attacked first, I can counterattack too, right?”

“Of course.”

Jin smiled brightly and nodded.

“I was planning to kill Hector in your area after class anyway, but wouldn’t that be fun? In the end, territory is acquired through force.”

The professor who was supposed to stop me laid the board down.

Although he thought the lesson was quite realistic, Simon felt his blood boiling. He came forward, stretching his arms, and opened his mouth.

[Everyone scrambles.]

Cheaaaaaaaa!

All Skullwing squadrons rose from the main base’s nest and covered the sky with black. In an instant, they came down from high altitude and attacked the Death Wyverns.

Although the battle was equal at first, the 6th Corps could not defeat Simon’s 7th Corps, which had the know-how of the past two years.

“good! “The 3rd unit diverts to the left!”

Simon clenched his fists.

“Let’s go to the Wyvern’s base like this and get Hector’s surrender!”

-Kiiiiii!

Simon switched to the offensive and pushed forward with great momentum.

Whether in the past when there were many corps commanders or in the present where only six remain, there is one thing that ultimately does not change.

It was true that one corps stationed in one area was enough.

Skullwing of the 7th Legion, Death Wyvern of the 6th Legion.

And in the midst of a fierce battle between the monsters of the screaming jungle.

[....]

An unidentified undead was standing there, watching with his head cocked.

[...Corporation Commander.]

It opened its mouth.

[The forces of the Legion Commander of Betrayal have been found.]
