The Summoning Genius of Kizen - Chapter 148 No answer came back to Erzebet's shout. Just as she sighed deeply and was about to spread spiderwebs in all directions. “Wait.” Kazhan stopped her. [What is it?] “It seems Francesca isn’t here.” Kazhan strode forward, as if he had found something. At the end of the Secret Hazardous Material Vault, there was a table. It seemed to have been particularly secured, as traces of multiple layers of security magic were found. However, the contents that should have been on it were completely empty. Kazhan began to examine the empty space intently. Seeing him take out various tools, including a tape measure, it seemed he was trying to figure out what the original item was. [Master!] Erzebet, who had been examining the magic circle installed on the wall, ran to Simon and reported. [It looks like the magic circle was installed at least a day ago!] “She must have set up a trap and fled.” “We’ve been had.” Kazhan raised his head and said. “She never entered the Secret Hazardous Material Vault from the beginning. And above all, it seems she had a Plan B in case Plan A, the Desolaters, didn’t all detonate. You probably couldn’t see that future either.” “……!” Simon’s face turned pale. It meant the Priest’s large-scale murder threat was not yet over. “What on earth was the missing item?” “Prima Materia.” Kazhan replied. “It’s a terribly complex object, but to put it simply, it’s an item that can infinitely create heterogeneous monsters.” “Surely with that….” “Yes, she intends to attack Kizen with it.” Kazhan glanced at his wristwatch. “By now, Francesca’s barrier should be more than half complete. Once the barrier is 100% complete, even professors will take time to break through it. In the meantime, the Prima Materia’s monsters will slaughter all the first-years trapped in Kizen.” “We have to stop her, no matter what.” Simon gritted his teeth and said. Kazhan also nodded. “There’s a place where Francesca is presumed to use that item. Follow me.” “Yes!” *** At the same time, Mei-rin, who had dealt with the Desolater assigned to her, arrived at the final location, the Learning Center. Bang! She opened the classroom door and looked around. ‘Huh?’ The plant-type monsters that should have been guarding the Desolater were piled on the floor, torn to shreds or shriveled up. Mei-rin quickly assessed the situation. ‘Someone arrived before me! Is it Kami? Or else……’ Crash! Suddenly, the window shattered, and someone leaped into the classroom. Mei-rin gasped and stumbled backward. The man who stood up, striking a strange, exaggerated pose, had a very recognizable face. “Ugh, you scared me! Why are you doing this when there’s a perfectly good door?!” “The urgency of the situation left me no choice.” Dick, seemingly engrossed in playing agent, swept his gaze around while wearing Kazhan’s glasses. All the plants were dead, but the Desolater was nowhere to be seen. “I thought I’d be first, of course. Did you handle it?” “Not me. If it wasn’t us, Kami must have come first.” “Okay.” Dick took off his glasses and put them in his pocket. “So, that means the Desolater problem is completely solved, right?” Mei-rin nodded at his question. All three of them were supposed to solve one Desolater each in their respective locations and then come to the Learning Center. If Kamibarez had come first and cleared it, then all four bombs would now be neutralized. “Hahaha!” Dick threw his arms up. “We saved Kizen’s peace!” “……There he goes again. I don’t think it’s time to let our guard down yet.” She let out a troubled sigh, pressing her temples. The situation would only be resolved once Simon and Kazhan defeated Francesca. Until then, they couldn’t afford to be careless. “More than that, I have a somewhat fundamental question.” Mei-rin crossed her arms. “Simon and Kazhan. How are two first-years going to defeat a Necromancer who’s at least assistant professor level?” Dick shrugged. “Simon is Special Admission Student No. 1, and more importantly, Kazhan is really strong.” “That person?” “Yeah. This is a secret, but not a single person who met Kazhan during the last Island Survival survived.” He lowered his voice and said eerily. “Among the second-years, he’s famous for his undefeated record from last year’s evaluation. And considering he’s a rare repeat student at Kizen and belongs to the Thieves’ Guild, doesn’t it make sense? He must be a professional Necromancer who infiltrated Kizen for a mission!” “……” Mei-rin couldn’t believe everything Dick said, but if there was some truth to it, then this combination might be the most likely to defeat Francesca in Kizen right now. After all, the only people left in Kizen were students, minions, and inexperienced teaching assistants. “Alright. Then let’s do what we can do.” “What is that?” “We need to take over the broadcasting room and inform the students of the danger. Since all Desolaters have been removed, it’s fine to check the situation and warn them of the danger, right?” Mei-rin instinctively felt that the danger wasn’t over. The fact that the Desolaters’ defenses were too lax for a terror attack against Kizen bothered her. It felt like a ‘good if it works, oh well if it doesn’t’ kind of plan. She was certain Francesca had a separate main plan. Dick clapped his hands once after hearing her words. “Oh, I didn’t think that far!” “Hurry up and follow me. If we can’t persuade the minions in the broadcasting room, we’ll subdue them by force and go in.” “Okay!” The two hurried out of the classroom and the building, running towards the Broadcasting and Communications Building where the broadcasting room was located. On campus, students were busily chattering and moving, preparing for their next classes. “Hey, Mei-rin! Don’t you think we’re really cool?” Dick said with an excited face. “Other students are living normal lives, but in reality, a major incident is lurking beneath the school! And we’re the ones moving at the request of an agent to solve that incident! This really feels like being a secret agent….” Thud. Dick’s words stopped. Mei-rin didn’t notice, as she was running and shouting at him to stop talking nonsense. Dick, his eyes unfocused, subtly veered off and entered a narrow alley alone. “You’re telling an interesting story~” Inside the alley, a female student with ivory-colored hair stood smiling sweetly. Dick, with a feather stuck in the back of his neck, immediately looked dazed upon seeing her. “You’re Simon’s friend, right?” “Uh, yeah!” “Could you secretly tell me what that important incident is?” Serene clasped her hands together and winked cutely, asking. Dick, with a captivated expression, nodded his head up and down rapidly. *** “Haa! Haa!” Kamibarez was running towards the north of Kizen, sweating profusely. She quickly skimmed a few lines in her diary as she ran. That alone sent shivers down her spine. Francesca was a Priest from the Divine Federation, and she was trying to destroy Kizen. Thinking that everyone’s lives depended on her, she couldn’t stop, even though she was completely out of breath. Thump! “Ugh!” Running frantically, she let out a short scream and fell on her bottom. She had bounced off something transparent. She quickly got up and scanned her surroundings, seeing a reddish, solid barrier blocking her way in mid-air. She checked for gaps with her palm and ran to other spots, but this barrier covered a wide area seamlessly, completely cutting off connection with the outside. “No……” She muttered with a precarious expression, backing away. “Please……!” She clenched her hands and continuously poured out blood flow magic. But the barrier didn’t break. It didn’t even tremble, nor did it crack. There wasn’t the slightest sign of it breaking. “Let me through!” She gathered Jet Black into her small fists and slammed them, bang! bang! bang! She hit it with her fists, kicked it with her feet, and headbutted it, but the barrier wouldn’t break. “Why……” She collapsed in front of the barrier. “Why can’t I even run away?” A terrible sense of powerlessness dominated her body. Even at this moment, Simon, Dick, and Mei-rin were probably fighting hard, each performing their assigned roles. She was always anxious. Sometimes, even when the four of them were laughing and chatting happily, those three felt so far above her. Simon was a person who shone wherever he was, and Mei-rin was a superhuman who was smart and could do anything perfectly. Dick firmly utilized his own strengths and did his part in any situation. Over the next three years, those three seemed like they would overcome any difficulty and move forward. But she wasn’t like that. She wasn’t good at anything and was unstable. She felt anxious about whether she belonged among them, and she worried that they might leave her behind and soar to greater heights later. She clenched her fists tightly. She didn’t want to be frustrated like this anymore. She staggered to her feet and stared at the barrier with bloodshot red eyes. -What a pity. A hazy voice, like mist, echoed in her mind. -Born with the finest blood, yet inherited the frail body of your mother’s side. -How heartless the heavens are, for such noble blood to flow in such a half-breed. -Such a fragile body won’t be able to withstand the power of blood. You’ll slowly die. -If only it were the opposite case, there would have been room for expectation. -It’s the end of times. The end of times. Thud. She began to take off her clothes. Her school jacket fell onto the grass. -My daughter. Among countless voices, the voice of a great being was heard. -It is your mother’s request. From now on, I will seal your blood to protect you. She unbuttoned her shirt and pushed it aside. A red magic circle, drawn in blood, was visible between her chest and navel. She took a deep breath and placed her palm on the magic circle. -The blood inherited from me will eventually kill you. This is the only way for you to live. Having made up her mind, she inhaled sharply and forcefully rotated the magic circle sideways. Click! As the magic circle rotated, the blood throughout her body began to churn like lava. “Kuk!” She swayed. The seal was broken, and a reddish magical power rose from her body. Blood tears streamed down her reddened eyes. In agony, as if her entire body was being torn apart and reassembled, she screamed and clung to the barrier. Then, she opened her mouth and forcefully sank her fangs into the barrier. Crack! A small hole instantly appeared in the barrier, which had not budged from any attack. The tips of her fangs slowly dug into the barrier. She pressed her entire body against it and put more force into her fangs. As her fangs dug deeper, the barrier began to crack like glass with a tearing sound. “Aaaaaah!” Rip! Crack! Rip! The cracks in the barrier grew larger and larger until finally. Shatter! The barrier shattered around her fangs, creating a hole. As soon as Kamibarez passed through, the barrier restored itself, returning to its original state without a trace. “Haa! Haa!” She stared forward with wide, red eyes. ‘Please, everyone be safe!’ Clutching Lang’s diary to her chest, she scattered a reddish aura around her body. The small wings on her back suddenly grew larger, as if they had drunk blood. Then, she leaped from the ground and began to fly through the sky at an incredible speed.
