Chapter 326
“I thought the former senpai made concessions like this, too.”
“What did you think of me as, junior?”
“No… otherwise, there is no reason to yield. We were all after them.”
“It’s also Lee Han.”
Gainando nodded as if he knew that.
It was Guyando’s friend who did not take away even a piece of bread.
“Junior. It’s good to be thorough, but if you act too viciously, bad rumors may circulate about warlocks.”
“But senior. Rumors about warlocks are already bad, aren’t they?”
“……”
Diret’s wings, which had been hit by a junior, drooped slightly.
Gainando whispered from the side.
“Why do you say that! It’s just people who don’t know!”
“no. Quite a few people would say that.”
“…really?”
“really. Why would those guys who were caught and dragged over there right now pass by and start a fight?”
“!”
“That we have reflected on.”
Two adventurers who get beaten up after making a mistake once, do chores in a cemetery, and end up chasing down an undead chimera.
It could be said that they were the most ferocious people today.
“senior. There’s nothing to be sad about. Those who know the truth will not be fooled.”
“…what’s the point if everyone else thinks badly of it?”
“We can change it.”
Diret’s eyes shook slightly at the junior’s progressive words.
I wasn’t sure what my junior was saying.
If you continue to build up your performance even if others doubt you, just as you dedicated yourself to the city today, people’s eyes will change little by little, if not immediately.
‘To hear this from a junior. I should have done it.’
Diete was ashamed as a senior.
“That’s right. Junior.”
“Thank you for your understanding. senior. If you see someone talking nonsense about black magic in the future, let’s step on them like they did.”
“…no!! I didn’t mean it that way!!!”
“Wasn’t it?”
Diret was startled at the words of a belligerent junior who even a magic duelist would stick out his tongue.
You’re going to attack the crooks every time you meet them and change your mind, what the…
Boom!
With a roar, two apprentice knights flew into the air.
The cornered undead chimera exploded from its body and broke through the siege.
When the siege was breached, the apprentice knights shouted in surprise.
“He runs away!!!”
“Careful ha… Ah!! Wodanaz! It’s wordanaz! Wodanaz!!”
“what?! Wodanaz!? That wordanaz?”
“okay! That wordanazda!”
“……”
When the apprentice knights who came to the school the other day recognized Lee Han’s face and pretended to be friendly, Lee Han put on a puzzled expression.
‘We’re not that close.’
Anyone who sees you will know that you are very friendly.
“Wardanaz! Catch him!! If he runs away…”
Before the apprentice knights could ask for it, Lee Han had already started preparing with his staff.
After chasing him like that, there was no way he would let the undead chimera run away.
-■■■■…!
The undead chimera made a grunting sound and glared at Lee Han. Nine pupils twitched and stared at Lee Han.
His eyes were full of vigilance because of what he had been through earlier. I felt that I would somehow find a gap in Lee Han and run away with a shot.
“Darkness. Gather here.”
Lee Han did not throw his lightning magic hastily.
There were apprentice knights behind him, so it wasn’t a good environment to shoot, and he was very wary.
The magician’s strength is that he can flexibly respond to any situation.
As much as he learned how to deal with Diret, Lee Han gathered the dark elements around him.
– !
The undead chimera didn’t know what Lee Han was doing, but he seemed to feel his power draining away.
I quickly hopped backwards to try and get some distance.
-■■■■!?
But to no avail.
‘Range…!’
Among them, Diret, the only warlock who can handle dark element magic, was able to know what was happening.
That junior’s magic was attracting dark elements in a much wider range than Diret’s.
‘…amazing!’
While admiring the junior’s magic, Lee Han exclaimed urgently.
“senior!”
“uh? why?”
“A little too many dark elements have gathered! Help me if I make a mistake!”
“…hey!”
Diret screamed at the sight of the spheres of dark element gathered at the tip of Yihan’s staff.
At first glance, it was 2 to 3 times the size of the previous cast.
It was cast against a wide range, so even though it took a shorter time than before, it gathered as much as I did in an instant.
“What are you doing?!”
Even if you try to fire it as a projectile, you have to control it to some extent, but if you force it now, it could explode at the tip of the staff and injure your junior.
Diret couldn’t understand how Lee Han was trying to deal with that dark element.
hooked!
“……”
Lee Han solved it in a simpler and simpler way than he thought.
He rushed in with his staff and stuck the orb into the undead chimera. The undead Chimera was unable to avoid the charge that took place in the blink of an eye.
-■■■?
Diete was perplexed.
‘Wait, the dark element is counterproductive against the undead…!’
Lee Han threw his staff aside and drew his sword.
The morning star flashed the sword and split the body of the undead chimera.
In the first place, the reason why he drew in the dark element around him was to slow down his opponent’s movements and tie them up.
Once that was achieved, there were several ways to destroy the opponent.
Powered by exploding magical energy, the assault struck the undead Chimera, and the subsequent sucking sword knocked it off balance.
Cheers erupted as he slashed his throat after unleashing a series of attacks without a chance to breathe.
“As expected, Wodanaz!”
“excellent!! That swordsmanship is still the same!”
“friend?”
Lee Han answered Dereth’s question firmly.
“Not friends.”
* * *
Bikelinz, who came out late, thanked Lee Han.
“Thank you. The mistake of the young knights almost made matters worse, but to help them.”
“I just did what I had to do.”
“I see…”
Bikelinz continued in a slightly impressed voice.
“Some people have prejudices and misunderstandings about the magic of warlocks, but if you see warlocks who are dedicated day and night like this, you wouldn’t dare say that!”
“thank you.”
Lee Han replied, but he had other thoughts in his mind.
‘But other warlocks are too accidental.’
Even if Lee Han caught the undead that came out of the city on Baeknal, it would not be of much use if the warlocks entered the tomb and were caught stealing the corpse.
Aldne, who came out late, looked at the situation in front of the mansion and asked, embarrassed.
“How did things go?”
“Wardanaz caught it.”
The governor of the mansion replied with a little regret.
“If the guests of the mansion had caught it instead of someone from outside, Greenbell-sama would have saved a little more face.”
“……”
After the guests had left, Aldne moved his gaze, thinking that he would have to admonish the general.
The undead chimera was definitely smashed. There were traces of being hit with magic, sword scars like apprentice knights wielded them, and the fatal blow was…
“???”
Aldne thought he was wrong.
‘I think I caught it with a sword…?’
I wondered if I was wrong, so I looked again and nothing changed. Apparently, he killed himself with a sword.
Aldne was confused because the apprentice knights and warlocks gathered here wanted to trick him.
Is there any reason to cheat??
“Mr. Greenbell. Thank you for the favor.”
“no. You came forward like this for the city of Granden, but I’m sorry I couldn’t help you more.”
‘He’s too kind.’
Lee Han was puzzled by Al-Adne’s attitude.
Apart from the rumors that are thorough and have no gaps, they were overly favorable.
Is it really because of the Wodanaz family name?
‘Anyway, is there any reason to go this far?’
Lee Han couldn’t even imagine it.
That Aldne misunderstood Lee Han as a man of great ambition.
‘Anyway, I should be grateful for your help.’
Lee Han politely bowed once more and walked away. Apprentice knights who were acquainted with Lee Han rushed excitedly.
Seeing that, Aldne asked Bikelinz.
“Do you have any acquaintance with the apprentices of the Knights Templar, by any chance, from the Wardanaz family?”
“ah. That happened the last time I visited Ein Lorgard. As for what happened…”
Bikelinz began to unravel his bundle of stories as if it were all right.
Meeting an outstanding swordsman is always fun.
So Bikelincz did not notice that Aladne’s expression, as he was listening to the story, was colored with amazement and absurdity.
* * *
– Wardanaz. I heard that you captured the king of ghouls. But do you know That the White Tiger Towers are actually flowers in a greenhouse.
-that’s right. Wodanaz. The truly strong are the wild flowers that bloomed as they rolled ruthlessly in the wild.
-So let’s go catch the ghoul king together!
‘It’s full of crazy people.’
Recalling the conversation between the apprentice knights, Lee Han shook his head.
The apprentice knights were burning with a sense of triumph, as if they had strangely heard the rumor that the White Tiger Tower and Lee Han had subdued the king of ghouls.
However, I couldn’t take my rivals, the White Tiger Towers, as wizards… The
apprentice knights wanted to take their friends who were much better wizards and swordsmen with them.
Of course, from Lee Han’s point of view, it was just crazy bullshit. Lee Han immediately complained.
– Mr. Bikelinz. There are apprentice knights plotting to catch enemies stronger than their level.
-that…! these guys!
It was fortunate that Bikelinz was sane. Otherwise, the apprentice knights could have collapsed pick-pick in an unknown cave.
Seeing Lee Han’s appearance, Diret asked as if he was worried.
“Are you okay, junior? As expected, the lack of magical power due to the use of magic earlier…”
“Ah. no. It was just because the apprentice knights were talking nonsense.”
“……”
Diret decided not to worry about magic about this junior from now on.
Returning to the cemetery, I saw a familiar face among the gravekeepers.
It was Daihal of the Dalcard family, the special administrative officer of the Empire, whom I had met in the previous case regarding the subjugation of the king of ghouls.
“I couldn’t believe it, but really…!”
When Daihal saw Lee Han, he spoke in awe.
“It’s been less than a week and yet you get caught up in something like this. Aren’t you too shy?”
“Junior. What did you do a week ago?”
Diet was puzzled. He hadn’t heard of the King of Ghouls yet.
Lee Han looked around the cemetery and quickly shook his head.
And he got down on one knee.
“Keugh. I used too much magic and my body…”
“What did you say! No matter how talented you are, it’s meaningless if you can’t take care of your own body.”
“Ha, but… as a warlock… the undead roaming the city of Granden… Cough. Coke.”
Diret and Lee Han’s friends stared at Lee Han, speechless.
I couldn’t believe it when I saw my friend, who hadn’t even broken a sweat until just now, stagger as soon as he passed through the front gate of the cemetery.
Ymirg whispered.
“Museum… is there poison in the graveyard?”
“Lee Han won’t be poisoned?”
“What is that… Ah. no way.”
While the three whispered, Lee Han pretended to be more difficult in front of Daihal.
After the last ghoul king subjugation, I realized something.
Even if you do the same thing, it’s good to show off that you made it as hard as possible!
It was a magic that easily increased the reward.
“If this senior hadn’t helped me, I might have died…”
“That’s Diret. I heard a lot about it from the gravekeepers.”
“I just do what I have to do…”
“To these devoted warlocks… the people of the city are too harsh. I will definitely speak strongly.”
“No, the pay is already good enough…”
“Cool!”
Lee Han cut off the senior’s words by clearing his throat.
