Summoning Genius of Necromancer School - Chapter 101Simon had defeated Pirate Captain Gail, and now the navy and residents were working together, tying up the fallen pirates with ropes.The naval officer bowed repeatedly, expressing his gratitude. "Blue Harbor owes you a great debt! I don't know how to thank you..."Simon smiled awkwardly, waving his hand. "You don't have to be so burdened. More importantly, if it's alright with you, could I interrogate the pirates myself?"Some of the things he'd heard from Gail felt very unsettling.His stamina was at its limit, making it difficult to head straight to the next location, so he wanted to rest for a few minutes and gather information from the subordinate pirates."Of course. But will they open their mouths willingly?""Leave it to me."A moment later, the naval officers brought three pirates, bound with ropes, and made them kneel before Simon."I have some questions for you.""......"They showed no intention of cooperating.One glared at Simon with murderous eyes, as if ready to kill him, while the other two looked away, feigning indifference."With your captain, Gail, captured, you have no hope. You know the crime of piracy is severe, right? If you cooperate willingly, I might even be able to ask for a reduced sentence."He tried a conciliatory approach, but the pirates didn't even bat an eye.Simon, on the contrary, felt puzzled by their behavior. Normally, when a leader is captured, their spirit breaks, and they try to find a way to survive, but there was no sign of that from these pirates.Did they have something they believed in?'"Question. We've confirmed that you've been colluding with someone connected to Blue Harbor. Reveal who that person is.""Go to hell, you bastard! If I get these ropes off, I'll tear you to shreds!"The first pirate roared savagely."Keaaak! Ptooey! Who are you to interrogate me, a kid who hasn't even dried behind the ears? Huh? If I were married, I'd have a son your age!"The second pirate burst out in anger."You're making a mistake right now. Do you know who I am? Although I'm a pirate now, I actually have an untold story..."The third pirate started spouting nonsense.'None of them intend to speak at all.'There might be other conciliatory measures, but given the time constraints, he decided against it."Kids."At Simon's words, three skeletons stood behind each of the pirates. Only then did the pirates' expressions stiffen, as if they finally understood the atmosphere."Feed them."The skeletons immediately grabbed the pirates by their hair, tilted their heads back, and forced potion bottles into their mouths.They made gurgling, miserable sounds, but when their noses were pinched, they had no choice but to swallow the contents.All three of them chugged the potion."Cough! Cough!!""Damn it! What did you do to my body!"The pirates felt their vision spinning, as if they were riding on a carriage at full speed."I'm a Necromancer, aren't I? What you drank is a potent poison. It will spread throughout your body within 15 seconds, and you'll die exactly 5 minutes later. More painfully than anything you can imagine."Simon then pulled out a new potion bottle from his Magical Inventory. It contained a blue liquid."However, if you drink this antidote before then, the story will be different.""......!!"Their faces turned pale."Now, tell me."Hesitation appeared on all three of their faces. But they couldn't bring themselves to speak it aloud."Well, if you don't want to, I can't help it."Simon didn't even wait 30 seconds, let alone 5 minutes, and turned his head."Naval officer. Bring the next people.""Yes!""Just discard these people somewhere appropriate. They'll writhe and die on their own anyway."Simon lifted his leg. And just as he was about to step on the antidote bottle on the ground."Pinch Nikiman!"The middle-aged man among the pirates, the one in the center, shouted. The other two looked back at him in horror, and Simon smiled."The captain is in league with a Necromancer named Pinch Nikiman!""Are you sure?""My life is on the line, why would I lie?! Hurry! The antidote, hurry!"CRACK!Simon stomped on the potion bottle, shattering it. The three pirates looked dumbfounded."You piece of trash!"The pirate on the left roared."I told you the truth! Is it fun to toy with people like this, huh?!""What are you talking about?"Simon smiled faintly and turned his back."Actually, that wasn't poison; it was a motion sickness potion. You'll be back to normal in about two hours.""......!!""Thanks for your cooperation."Simon waved his hand behind his back as he walked away. The three pirates screamed in frustration before being subdued and knocked down by the naval officers.'This confirms it. I need to hurry.'He had recovered enough stamina to move now. Simon immediately ran towards the mansion.***He passed through the city and arrived at Shun's mansion.Simon was surprised. It looked as if it had already been attacked by pirates, with fires burning in various parts of the mansion.RUMBLE!A detached annex of the mansion was completely engulfed in flames and collapsing. And faintly, the sound of weapons clashing could be heard.It seemed the engagement with the pirates had already begun.'Please, please, please...!'Simon stepped on Jet Black and easily leaped over the wall, entering the mansion.CLANG!CLINK!Against the backdrop of the burning mansion, butlers armed with weapons were fiercely fighting pirates swarming from all directions.In the midst of it, Shun, the head butler, and the maids were making their way out of the mansion, keeping low. "There's the Count!""Get him!"Two pirates broke through the butlers and charged. Simon urgently extended his right arm.'Bone Armor!'Bones flew as if they had been waiting.While everyone else was cowering, bone armor was donned by two brave maids who had stepped forward with mop handles."Fight!"Simon shouted. When they looked flustered and unsure what to do, the skeletons themselves moved the maids' bodies, knocking down the pirates.CRUNCH!WHAM!The maids' eyes widened as they watched the pirates fall back from their own punches and kicks."Look over there!""Lord Simon!"A maid shook Shun's shoulder."Count! Look over there! Lord Simon has come!""Huh? Brother Simon?"Shun cautiously poked his head out. He saw Simon, who was operating Bone Armor to assist five different combat zones at once."Brother Simon!!"Simon turned towards Shun and urgently called out."Shun! Are you hurt anywhere?""I'm fine...! Ah! Watch out!"CRASH!Two pirates burst through the mansion's glass window behind Simon and charged.Simon effortlessly tilted his body backward to evade a thrusting sword, then grabbed the arm and pulled, smashing his left elbow into the opponent's nose.CRACK!The pirate's body tumbled. In a connected motion, Simon ducked to avoid a spear swung from behind, then placed his hand on the ground, spun, and kicked up his right leg.WHAMMM!The second pirate, hit in the head by his foot, flew back through the window and collapsed. Simon gasped for breath and stood up."Kyaaaah!""Lord Simonnn!"The maids jumped up and down in relief, thinking they were saved.'Ugh, but I'm so exhausted.'Indeed, the fatigue from fighting Gail still weighed heavily on him.As Simon exhaled a long breath, there was a BANG! sound, and the wall of the mansion's third floor collapsed, sending people falling. 'Bone Armor! Hurry!'The Legionized skeletons disintegrated into bone fragments and flew, attaching themselves to the falling people. The Bone Armor absorbed the impact, and everyone landed safely."Phew."Simon wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at the large man visible in the collapsed third-floor wall. He was burly, wearing tight-fitting armor, and carried a large mace on his shoulder.Looking down, he suddenly leaped. The direction he jumped was towards Shun."Shun! Get out of the way!"Shun and the maids also spotted the falling man and quickly retreated.CRASHHHHHH!A large crater formed on the ground. Showing no impact from the fall, the man calmly raised his head. Magical energy pulsed in waves around his mace.'Aura!'"I am First Mate Valdez."The man grinned, looking at Shun, who was sprawled on the ground."You'll have to come with me, Count."Just as the man reached out his arm towards Shun, a Bone Armor flashed and latched onto his arm.CLICK! CLUNK!At the same time, Bone Armor attached to his right leg and left foot. Simon gave an absolute command as he ran towards Shun.'Obstruct him!'SCREEEEECH!The Bone Armors began to move erratically."What is this?!"It looked like he was wearing restraints. Valdez wobbled and shook his body, then struggled to tear off the Bone Armor with his hands.Meanwhile, Shun, who had been crawling, suddenly stood up and began running towards Simon."Brother Simon!""Shun!"The two ran towards each other. Valdez, who had torn off the Bone Armor with brute force, wobbled and followed a step behind.'Just a little more!'The moment Simon and Shun's hands were about to meet.WHOOSH!Their hands missed, flailing in the air, and Shun's body was flung upside down into the air."Whoaaaaah!""Shun!"Simon and Valdez stopped in unison. And then.<Ferocious Dragon Tremor>SPLASHHHHHHH!First Mate Valdez, who had been following, was struck by a green, liquid dragon. "A-Aaaargh!"Valdez's upper body melted and flowed down. The maids screamed at the gruesome sight of only bones remaining, falling to the ground."Didn't I tell you before?"Simon turned his head."How can a bodyguard, in name, be so distracted?""......!"Pinch Nikiman was approaching. His liquid-transformed arm was holding Shun's leg."Uncle Pinch!"Shun cheered, raising both hands."Lord Pinch!""We're saved now!"The household staff also sighed in relief or hugged each other in joy.However, amidst all this, only one person, Simon, had a cold, distorted expression."Everyone, rest assured now that I've arrived.""Lord Pinch!"The head butler rushed over, panting."Why is the family's Necromancer so late! The mansion was attacked, and the Count was almost in danger!""My apologies, Head Butler. I was busy sinking two pirate ships on my way here."Pinch said that, then looked at Simon."Hmm? Why do you look so tense?""......"GRIT.Simon gritted his teeth."Please put the Count down."Pinch gave a strange smile.Shun, who had been hanging upside down, returned to an upright position, but Pinch's hand still didn't release him."That won't do. I can't trust you. For a bodyguard to abandon the Count like that, I'll formally protest to Kizen. "Don't scold him, Uncle! Brother Simon went because I ordered him to!"Pinch looked at Simon with a stern face."When it comes to the Count's protection, I cannot compromise. From now on, I will personally guard the Count. You, go north and deal with the remaining pirate stragglers...""Pinch Nikiman."Simon took a deep breath.People were dying. There was no point in wasting any more time or playing mind games."Why did you betray the Count?"
