Chapter 324
“Didn’t your senior tell you to do it?”
“If that’s what Haran says… no. done. Junior. Keep quiet and focus on control. It must be hard right now.”
Dieter was right.
Unlike the stable form of the water orb, the dark orb fluctuated quite unsteadily.
At any moment, I felt like I was going to lose my shape and scatter in all directions with a single mistake.
“In this state… it would be impossible to fly it, but if you use it, is it close combat? Junior. Are you good at fighting?”
Gainando and Ymirg were both cool at the sudden question.
“I only learned it for self-defense.”
“Well, since you’re from an aristocratic family, you probably didn’t learn swordsmanship.”
Again, both friends were cool at the same time.
“It is not necessary for a wizard to be good at fighting, but sometimes there are times when they engage in close combat. In that case, magic like this is more useful than you think. Junior. It would be more stable if treated with endowment magic, but I can’t hope for that much right now.”
“If that’s the case, isn’t the fire element better?”
“There are many enemies who can withstand the fire element better than I thought.”
Starting with monsters that had resistance to fire, seasoned adventurers usually had at least one or two defenses against fire.
It was an element that was easy to encounter in real life.
“I see…”
“Junior. How long have you been holding on to the dark element… Release it quickly.”
Admiring Lee Han, he came to his senses at Diret’s point and released the dark element.
“Coming back to what I was talking about earlier, it is good to use an item that is incompatible with the problem when a problem arises due to not being able to prevent it in advance, but if you know how to handle the dark element, this is possible.”
Diret looked around at the remains of Lee Han’s dark element explosion and grabbed his staff.
“Darkness. Gather at this end.”
Magic that controls existing water or fire rather than summoning water or fire elements.
“Are you gathering all the dark elements around you?”
“Good fit. It creates a kind of vacuum. If the magician preoccupies the dark element first, the undead and their affiliated beings become very vulnerable.”
The undead were extreme beings with both advantages and disadvantages.
When dealing with such beings, it was more effective to stab their weaknesses than to collide with them.
If he had known this method against the ghoul king, it would have been far more effective than turning the cave into a sea of fire.
‘As expected, knowledge is power.’
“Isn’t Cainan Island interesting?”
“uh? uh huh uh uh uh.”
Gainando, who was dozing off while yawning next to him, answered Lee Han’s question in surprise.
He had no interest in the dark element or anything.
“…this bastard…”
“Calm down. Junior. Because it’s something you don’t need to learn. Studying other things can only make your head complicated.”
When Lee Han tried to lift his cane, Diret stopped him. Kainando was moved inside.
‘Sunbaenim…!’
“I. Wizards??”
Caught adventurers holding shovels cautiously approached.
Lee Han replied in a sullen voice.
“ah. You said you would send it by today.”
“That’s not it… I keep hearing strange noises from inside the tower…” ”
!!!”
* * *
The cemetery on the outskirts of Granden City wasn’t just a grave.
There were several small towers inside as well as a wall surrounding the tomb.
It was used as a resting place for gravekeepers, or used as a central core when black magicians cast large-scale magic on the graveyard.
Of course, no body was kept inside.
‘Then…’
“Did you check your magic power?”
Diret threw off the face of his senior who taught his juniors and returned as a black magician in charge of managing the cemetery.
Lee Han took out the paper he had written on and checked it out before answering.
“yes. The tower that said he heard the sound was Tower 1 or Tower 2, but both had normal horsepower.”
“What if a monster hiding between the packages came in while carrying the luggage?”
“In preparation for that, I dismantled and dispersed the items that obstructed my view. I cast the dark vision magic on the space perception magic and confirmed it, and I closed the window after finishing it, so I think the possibility is small.”
“……”
He tried to concentrate seriously, but Diret couldn’t stand the tickling pride that came over him.
Among other schools that boast of having many new students, there will be no juniors like him.
To be honest, I wanted to take him out and brag about it.
‘ah. But that junior is also listening to all the other schools…’
Diret, who belatedly realized the reality, was bitter.
“senior?”
“Either those adventurers misunderstood.”
“Oh no! We all got it right!”
“Or came from outside.”
“Is that possible?”
Lee Han was puzzled.
I don’t know if it’s hiding between the luggage, but it’s a monster that has invaded from the outside.
Even though it was a remote place, it was definitely inside the city. If a monster roamed the street, there was a high possibility that it would be slaughtered in less than 30 minutes.
“I doubt that too. Junior.”
“Didn’t they hear it wrong?”
“Maybe something like this?”
Ymirg raised his hand and said.
“Sometimes the soil in the basement also moves. There’s a body down here in the basement. When the underground soil moves and is pushed out of the cemetery…”
“!”
If the soil from the underground was pushed out and the position of the corpse shifted, and if magical energy pooled around it unluckily, the undead could have been created outside the cemetery instead of inside it.
“Is that plausible?”
“good job. Junior.”
“Thank you.”
Ymirg blushed at Yihan and Diret’s praise.
However, Gainando glared at Ymirg.
“Why why?”
“…From now on, you will be my rival.”
“……”
Rapad El had already been defeated (at least he thought so), and Yihan was just determined to be excluded, so Ymirg’s performance was an act that could not be left unattended.
“joy. Let’s compete to see who is truly number one in black magic.”
“That’s just wordanaz…”
“Going into the search. Undead, show yourself!”
Along with the spell, a wave spread from Diret’s staff.
Then there was a flash and a crashing sound from the upper floors of Tower 2.
“!!”
“That way! let’s go!”
“Please wait a moment! Just in case, you should prepare your defenses.”
At Lee Han’s words, Diret hesitated.
‘What defense magic are you going to use?’
Even if it was the same defense magic, it was better to use Diret, a 4th year student, but the opponent was not an ordinary junior.
Direth was honestly curious about what kind of defensive magic Yihan would use.
This time, we will show magic that exceeds expectations…
“Hey! Adventurers! Take the lead!”
“……”
“Why is that?”
“Nothing.”
* * *
Lee Han and Diret adventurers up the tower.
Ymirg and Cainando are outside the tower.
Lee Han asked as he quickly ran up the stairs.
“He knows that his location has been found out, but wouldn’t he run away?”
“There is little chance of that. Junior. He woke up outside the cemetery, but he deliberately came inside to increase his strength. It is belligerent and fearless.”
“indeed.”
The reaction he showed when he woke up was enough to roughly grasp the nature of the undead.
If you tried to quickly move away from the summoned place, you were cautious and timid, and if you tried to settle down instead of moving away, it was the opposite.
In this case, it was highly likely that he was aggressive and greedy as he was trying to absorb the mana flowing through the cemetery and increase his strength.
-■■■■■!!
“Aaaagh!”
“appear!!!”
The adventurers who climbed in front screamed.
A huge undead tumbled down from the upper stairs. Seeing this, Diret let out a groan.
“Damn it… It’s an undead chimera.”
Instead of combining strong negative magic with a single corpse, it is the result of combining with torn and crushed corpses.
As many individuals’ personalities were mixed, it was difficult to predict and difficult to deal with from the wizard’s point of view.
Diret immediately prepared a weakening spell for the undead Chimera.
“Decrease…”
Bang!
An explosion occurred inside the undead chimera’s body, and about a quarter of it was blown away.
The undead chimera, which gained momentum from the explosion, collided with the tower’s walls instead of crushing the adventurers. A section of the weakened wall collapsed and opened a hole.
“?!?!”
Lee Han and Diret were taken aback when the vicious guy sacrificed a part of his body to break through the tower wall and escape.
We haven’t even fought yet, so why are you running away all of a sudden?!
“…senior. Will you please listen and not be angry?”
“Why am I angry with you junior? It’s okay to just say it! What?”
“I think he ran away after seeing me…”
“……”
Dereth almost got angry at the moment, wondering if it was time to joke.
The adventurers standing in front muttered involuntarily.
“And indeed.”
“What the hell!”
“I’m sorry… I’m sorry!”
“Among the undead, there are those with excellent magic power detection abilities, right? It seems that he grasped my magical power and ran away.”
“…!”
Only then did Dietrich understand Lee Han’s words.
If it’s not just a vicious and belligerent guy, but someone who has the ability to detect magic power and is intelligent enough to understand that and back down…
“Things will get messy. Junior.”
– That’s running away!! It runs away!! Hey baby! can’t stand there! Bone! Ymirg! throw anything! Throw a rock!
– If you throw it wrong, people will get hurt…!
* * *
After coming down from the tower, Diret and Lee Han immediately started pursuing them.
“Call the city guards that an undead chimera appears. let’s follow our own Junior.”
“All right.”
“Thank you sorcerer!” The gravekeepers bowed their heads in gratitude.
Originally, this was the responsibility of the gravekeepers.
He should have been checking regularly to prevent undead from occurring.
Of course, the gravekeepers were also unfair.
Who would have known that the undead would be summoned outside the cemetery because of the soil moved underground.
But even so, it is true that if a problem arises and the damage increases, you have to take responsibility.
But when the black magicians came forward to help, I couldn’t help but be grateful.
“You don’t have to thank everyone. This is what warlocks are supposed to do.”
“And indeed…”
Lee Han firmly intervened when it seemed that the senior would lose money for being so innocent and innocent.
“But I think everyone should know who solved this. Tell the city guards that they should be properly informed and that they should be treated with honor.”
“All right!”
Diret looked at the junior as if it was absurd.
I’m in a hurry right now, what are you talking about?
“senior. No matter how urgent it is, we must deliver the necessary information.”
“No… is that necessary…? Let’s go!”
Diret traced the magic left behind by the undead Chimera.
After escaping from the cemetery, he was running away from the main road into an alleyway.
“If you can feel magic and know how to avoid it, then you know instinctively that you should avoid people. If you hide, it will be a headache.”
“I’m sure you’ll catch it.”
“That would be nice. In the city, it’s hard to track even if you’re a little late… Oops. this.”
Dereth clicked his tongue.
At best, he got out of the alleyway, but the place he entered was the guild storage site.
“Why is that? Let’s go in and tell the situation.”
“It will be difficult. Junior.”
The guild was stubborn in this area.
If an outsider is brought in and there is a problem with the material or if confidential information is leaked, that is a bigger problem.
Even if the undead chimera escaped and went in, there was a high possibility that they would insist on catching it by themselves.
“I will at least say something.”
“okay. Give it a try. Instead, don’t get hung up on it too much. Anyway…”
After a while, Lee Han came back.
“It’s done. Let’s go in.”
“?!?!”
