Episode 162 King of the Undead (3)
They drank happily at the tavern.
The two women were already in a state of unconsciousness from how much they drank.
On the way back to the dormitory after leaving the bar, the man admired Richie.
“Are you a good drinker?”
“This does no harm to me.”
Richey said confidently with his arms crossed.
How could the highest level master of the undead get drunk with alcohol?
To the extent that one’s own body reacts to it, it is already extremely poisonous.
The man who did not know such a situation only laughed heartily.
“ha ha ha! I need to know this guy’s confidence!”
It wasn’t confidence, but the body itself became like that, but there was no need to explain it, so the lich kept his mouth shut.
The dorms were a little more problematic than that.
He just stole clothes and put them on, not like a freshman.
That’s why I couldn’t go to their dormitory with the man’s party.
If there is no assigned room, where can I enter?
Richie closed his eyes for a moment.
‘I guess we should part at this point.’
I was just hanging out for a while to get information about the academy anyway.
There was no hesitation in parting.
As he was about to say something, the man suggested.
“Hey… the smell of alcohol is vibrating from your body. Would you like to stay in my room today? Apparently, the smell of alcohol would be a nuisance to someone sharing the same room. Fortunately, no one shares my room. How is it?”
Richie smiled at the unexpected words.
Could it be that things worked out this well?
Not only did I end up sleeping in the dormitory, but there was also no one sharing a room with me.
This means that the best conditions have been met.
Richie pretended to be worried for a moment, then nodded.
“Don’t do that. Guide me.”
“okay. Just bring these two.”
He skillfully carries two women who are soundly asleep while talking.
Because he had such a good physique, he didn’t look tired at all even with two people on his back.
Richie, who saw this, was not too surprised.
That’s because he was a 2nd circle wizard who knew how to use mana.
The party seemed to be unaware of the fact that the man was a wizard, but it was none of their business.
For the circumstances of each human being were too far out of his consideration.
It was quite difficult to get the two women safely into the dormitory.
They were consigned to the women’s dormitory, so there were many difficulties for them as men to go there.
Fortunately, the two of them were entrusted to female students from the same medical academy who passed nearby.
Thanks to the territorial attitude of the Magic Academy, it is a medical academy that has deepened consideration for each other without knowing it.
Even though they’re seeing each other for the first time, they treat each other friendly, so that’s the only thing I liked about their territorial attitude.
Putting the two away like that (?), Rich headed to the man’s room.
“I’ll have another practice tomorrow, so you’d better go to bed early.”
it’s practice
Images of students dissecting pigs came to Rich’s mind.
Then, a laugh burst out.
‘I’ll see all the dark magic research in the Holy Land.’
The words were slightly ridiculed, but contrary to that, Rich felt it himself.
For some reason, my heart is pounding ever since I came to the academy.
Is it because he is enjoying himself as a human for the first time in hundreds of years?
After becoming a lich, he thought he had abandoned his human mind, but this feeling of beating his chest pleasantly wasn’t too bad.
* * *
As soon as the morning dawned, Richie and the man headed to the training room dressed as they were yesterday.
Originally, Richie was planning to leave the academy and find the mana of the road after seeing the time, but his feet were tied to him.
Besides, I had a desire to try it at least once if it was practical.
I wanted to know how systematically humans learn.
Rich thought as he looked at the pig on the lab desk.
‘I’ll have to go find the rod as soon as this practice is over.’
His thoughts had to be corrected immediately.
The lab door opened and someone stood on the podium.
But doesn’t that face look very much the same as the one I saw earlier in Proxia?
Richie’s cold eyes opened wide.
I never dreamed that we would be reunited in this way in a place like this.
Ray could also see Richie’s face.
At first, I thought I was looking at it wrong, so I looked at it again and again.
However, no matter how much I look at it, it is very similar to the mage who killed himself in Proxia.
He came down from the podium and walked towards the seat where Richie was sitting.
Then he spoke in a voice that could feel intimidating.
“You know me, right?”
“…yes?”
It was Richie who was taken aback.
The answer came a beat late.
As if he had roughly noticed him, Ray released mana around him.
“You know. yes? Right? tell me you know.”
Mana flinched with the intent to kill him at any time just by talking.
It wasn’t a lich who couldn’t feel the flow of mana.
He thought of it without me knowing.
‘If I say I know, I’ll explain it, then I’ll die again without doing anything.’
For him, dying isn’t such a big deal.
After all, he is the no-life king, the rich. As long as the Life Vessel isn’t destroyed, you just have to find him with his regenerated body.
Strangely enough, he didn’t want to die.
Seeing someone looking down at him with an ambiguous expression that wasn’t frowning or smiling in front of him, even though he was a rich man, his fear rose slightly.
That made Richie lie.
“I don’t know.”
The way he spoke was also markedly different from before.
The arrogant tone he had spoken so well with other humans had turned into the most terrifying one.
Ray said with a sad expression.
“…okay?”
“yes.”
“Damn it!”
Scared to speak, the aura blade in his hand suddenly pointed at the lich’s heart.
Surprised, he moved Mana.
“Blink!”
Ray was confident in the way he manifested the 5th circle magic with only the starter word.
“Heh heh. You bastard are still alive.”
“Where is it that you stab me with an aura! I have never heard of such a savage Lord!”
“Because it’s here, I’ll engrave it from now on!”
Ray swung the blade with medium heat for an aura.
It was so threatening that he could not easily predict the sword path as his aura, which appeared while using Blink, attacked him.
Since the lich was moving violently, it was difficult to use the hold magic.
It is also difficult when students are injured. If the lich pretends to be crazy and uses magic, he can cancel it, but I can’t be sure that he will block all of them.
The lich tried to calm him down as he used his magic.
he said at a moment’s distance.
“Road. Please listen to me for a moment.”
The sea that Ray also wanted. You can take your breath away while pretending to talk.
“good. Talk.”
“First of all, I have no intention of fighting! I mean, I just came to help Lord!”
“How can I believe that?”
“This is how the mage of the lower circle was originally! It is the basics of mages to show respect to mages of higher circles!”
“So I came to help because I have a higher circle than you? I will very much believe that.”
“Of course, I have a desire to entice Rod well and rebuild the mage tower, but it is true that I have no intention of fighting.”
At first glance, even the resentment appeared on his face.
Ray listened to Richie’s words and thought.
‘Certainly, there is no way that he would commit suicide in front of my eyes now that Proxia has collapsed. Casting large-scale magic from a distance is convenient in many ways. It seems to be true that he has no intention of fighting…’
If Ray knew that the mage of Proxia was a lich, he would be concerned about the possibility of the aforementioned suicide, but he wouldn’t know until he said it. there was no
Among humans, the pure mana he acquired as a high-circle mage became a lich, although its nature resembled that of a demon, but to be precise, it was closer to mana.
As a result, even in the current situation facing Mana, it was difficult to notice that he was a lich.
With an unwilling expression, he removed the Aura Blade from his hand.
Still, the thought continued to linger in my mind.
Should we remove risk factors that might pose a danger to the kingdom in the future, or would it be better to leave them as they are?
It certainly didn’t seem like he was telling a lie, but no one knows what the future holds.
It seems necessary to kill, but there are too many students to kill right away here.
Even though he had eliminated the Bone Dragon single-handedly, it was close to impossible to fight while protecting this amount of students.
So it was only natural that the will to fight would disappear.
No, it would be more accurate to say that he looked for an opportunity.
Ray said, rolling his eyes.
“…Please stay still and stay out of my sight until the training session is over. Hold.”
Taking advantage of the moment when the lich stopped moving, he cast a spell.
However, if that creates trust in the current relationship, that is also what I hoped for.
Anyway, I’m thinking of staying still.
In the first place, if he moved rashly, he would be killed a second time, so he had no intention of moving even if he begged him to.
‘There was no hesitation in stabbing the heart. It must mean that the load can attack to kill me at any time.’
While they were thinking about each other, the students were frozen in their seats.
I knew that the young professor was a veteran of the war and the one who defeated the necromancer, but I didn’t know that he would raise the aura blade so easily during practice.
I did not dare to breathe at the tremendous anticipation of Aura Blade, which I had never felt in my life.
And what about the man in front of you?
Even if you are not a wizard, everyone knows that Blink is a 5th circle movement type magic.
The fact that they cast such magic with only a starter word meant a lot to them.
Although it was a short moment, their clash was already enough to break the students’ spirits.
There was no one who could properly practice practice due to anxiety that they did not know when the wind would blow again.
Ray read the mood.
“…That man won’t be able to move, so don’t worry. Start practicing from 1st to 5th.”
Despite his words, the atmosphere did not change easily.
You never know when a magician who looks like a 6th circle or higher and a crazy saint wearing a human mask will perform a sword dance in front of your eyes again.
When I thought about that, I couldn’t proceed with the dissection properly.
Everyone just glanced around and paid attention to Ray and Richie’s gaze.
