Chapter 378
Lee Han gnashed his teeth at the hateful enemy’s proposal.
“Because they are mean bastards. You mean to hit the trap above first.”
-There are no traps above.
“yes?”
-There are no traps above. This place is not a prison, so why are there traps?
“…?”
Lee Han became confused.
“Then why are you asking me to come out? Could you trick me into not using magic?”
– They’re not like that.
“Then what?”
-…I don’t know.
The undead wizard admitted honestly.
It was the first time I had seen the berserkers in that prison behaving so obediently.
Lee Han slightly shook his head.
The undead berserkers who were watching beckoned him to come out with a blunt gesture.
‘It’s too shameless for a trap.’
Unwilling to leave, Lee Han waved his hand.
It was a signal to step back.
Then, surprisingly, the undead berserkers stepped back.
“…?!”
-Are you backing down?!
Both the undead wizard and Lee Han were surprised.
Is it the same group of berserkers that rushed like madmen earlier?
“I’ll go check it out.”
Ogoldos said, supporting himself with his staff.
After I fell here, I couldn’t feel that uncomfortable holding on to my junior’s ankle.
A little bit of work to do like this…
“Yes? That’s it. Let’s spread the fog and approach it together.”
“……”
Ogoldos felt that his determination was futile.
* * *
I approached cautiously, but the undead berserkers really didn’t rush.
I watched as Lee Han and the others went up to the ceiling.
-Get entangled and become a bridge… I really didn’t expect you to come.
“Doesn’t it take magic to go up?”
-The magic has already been dispelled. Originally, the ceiling couldn’t be pierced.
The undead wizard said as he climbed the slope made of bones.
The dungeon where the prisoners were confined was protected by powerful magical powers. Originally, no matter what I did, I couldn’t pierce it.
The explosion earlier was great, but if the dungeon had been normal, the ceiling would have been fine.
The undead wizard had no choice but to accept what Lee Han had said.
What’s wrong with the owner of the palace!
– That’s amazing. What’s wrong with the king?
“……”
Lee Han broke out in a cold sweat. When Ogoldos saw that, he was worried inwardly.
‘Are you okay? Did you use too much mana? Doesn’t it look like you’re talking nonsense after asking?’
“He… is he also loyal to the king? It seems to me that you have a lot of personal problems.”
I took luck for the epilepsy, but the undead wizard answered honestly, as if he hadn’t noticed Lee Han’s intentions.
-Originally, a king is a violent law.
“Is it… is it?”
‘Shouldn’t I cut off the head of a man if he’s so violent that I’ll lock him up if I’m bored?’
-Of course, whether or not you resent the king is a separate issue. I resent you for ignoring my advice, but you are loyal because you are my king. Originally, a strong being deserves to rule.
“…Wait a minute then what if I’m weak?”
-Then you must die. A weakened king has no qualifications as a king.
There was a nod from behind.
The group of Lee Han turned their heads. A group of undead berserkers came from behind and stopped and nodded.
Ogoldos made a gasping sound.
– When did those guys do that… what the hell… what…?
“It doesn’t look like they’re going to attack right now. Is that correct?”
– It seems. Don’t provoke them.
The undead wizard’s words were put to shame and the berserkers quietly pursued them.
When Lee Han’s party stopped, they stopped, and when Lee Han’s party started walking, they started walking too.
When fear is repeated, you get used to it.
Lee Han began to wonder what kind of actions would work for those undead berserkers.
“Could you pick up some bone fragments?”
-I told you not to provoke it…
The undead wizard almost yelled at it, but the berserkers picked it up unexpectedly.
-!
“Oh…”
-This… I guess I’ll have to experiment.
The eyes of the undead wizard also changed. The wizard said to Ogoldos.
-You can ask too.
“…Please pick up some bone fragments.”
At the request of Ogoldos, the berserkers stood still.
It was as if you were giving orders. Ogoldos glared at the undead wizard with an embarrassed face.
-This is…
“What is it?”
Lee Han expected the wisdom of an undead wizard.
-It looks like you’ve been accepted into the same group.
“……”
For a moment, Lee Han thought he heard it wrong.
Whether it’s passing a test, winning a fight, admitting it, or at least having too much magical power and not touching it.
There are many other good things, so what kind of group is there to be accepted?
“Does that make sense?”
-They themselves are a group of guys who like to fight, so it doesn’t make much sense…
“What kind of fight do I like?”
-Didn’t you misunderstand the undead explosion as something you did?
Lee Han protested in anger.
“Here was this wizard!”
However, the undead berserkers threw their gazes away as if asking what they were talking about.
The undead wizard said as if to give up.
– If you were the one who would listen to me, there would be no reason to suffer until now. They’re not talkative guys.
“No, what…”
Lee Han, who suddenly became a group, looked at the berserkers with a confused expression.
– It’s not urgent, so let’s move. Actually, it’s not a bad thing to be treated as a group, right? If it wasn’t for that, I would have had to fight to the death below.
“If it’s not bad, the wizard can do the same. Let’s go and talk.”
The undead wizard was slightly intimidated by Lee Han’s venomous words and stepped back.
-Those guys can’t communicate…
“Huh… I get it. So, how much do you have left now?”
The undead wizard who escaped the dungeon and climbed into the palace had one goal.
To check the throne in the depths of the palace and find out what happened to the king.
Lee Han did not object much. Because Lee Han also had to find other people and escape anyway.
When an undead wizard skilled in the geography of this palace reaches the Throne of the Deep, he will be able to use the power of the palace to find the others scattered throughout.
‘There is no king.’
And Lee Han was certain that there would be no king.
…because Lee Han is hot!
-We’re almost there. What a surprise. I don’t think it will be like this Did the king really leave…
muttered the wizard and tapped the wall with his staff.
Then the wall opened and a path opened. What used to be a road just now disappeared underground.
“!”
Lee Han’s complexion changed.
At some point, the quality of the magic power felt in the air changed.
The undead wizard noticed that Lee Han’s complexion had changed and said.
-You’re sharp. You must feel the pressure because of the powerful magic power. Especially since he’s still a young wizard.
‘I can’t feel it.’
With so much horsepower, I never felt pressured by something like this, but Lee Han let it go.
“yes.”
-It’s because of the magic radiating from the king’s space. The power and core that maintains this palace. I couldn’t even breathe when the king was sitting in it.
The
gigantic stone door opened, revealing a vast reception room. When it was confirmed that there was no one inside, the undead mage made a tsk tsk sound by clashing bones.
-Really amazing…
Go away.
“!?”
Even the undead wizard was surprised by the voice coming from the throne, but Lee Han was most surprised.
The ghoul king defeated last time.
It was the same voice as the king.
‘Has he recovered already!?’
I knew that he was kicked out of the continent and returned to his original dimension, but I thought he had already recovered from the blow.
Lee Han lowered his head. Ogoldos did not understand and was puzzled.
– Are you a king?
Yes. How dare you enter my living room. Even the most terrible punishment would not be enough, but I will forgive you just this time. go away.
“It turns off.”
Lee Han whispered.
Fortunately, the other person didn’t seem to notice Lee Han’s true identity.
If it turns off when you say forgive…
But the undead wizard answered in a sarcastic voice.
– I don’t think you’re a king.
what?
-The king’s men are all gone, the flames that lighted the palace are extinguished, and the walls that guard the prison are gone. What kind of king is he who has no subordinates, no palace, no dignity?
“Should I provoke you?”
Lee Han tried to persuade the undead wizard, but it was futile.
What the beings of the undead dimension pursue is the logic of power.
The reason why it was okay for the ghoul king to be a tyrant was because he had the power to match him.
But in a weakened situation like this, the logic was reversed.
Dare to a weakened subject?
– It looks like you’re seriously injured. I don’t know how you ended up like that…
I’ll kill you if you want to die.
– Try it.
Not only the undead wizards, but also the berserkers behind them suddenly stepped forward.
It was a look that lacked the slightest hint of loyalty. He is only filled with a sense of pride to test how strong the person above him is.
And the berserkers tapped Lee Han on the shoulder and pointed to the throne.
“…No wait. No way now…”
Did he say that we should fight as a group?
Lee Han pondered over how to convey the words ‘I am human and you guys are undead’.
Meanwhile, the undead wizard launched an attack.
-Come on, fake king! Show your skills once again anywhere!
‘shit. Why are all the wizards different from what they look like?’
The undead mage, who had been cold, calm, and rational until recently, immediately turned aggressive when he saw that the king of ghouls had weakened.
It was a logic of power that only the Undead could understand.
The magical energy in the vast reception room began to gather toward the throne. The king of ghouls, who forcibly absorbed the mana inside and regained his strength, growled.
Even if I’m seriously injured and recovering, do you think I’ll lose to a wizard like you?
As the undead mage guessed, the king of ghouls was drawing all the resources of the palace to recover from the severe damage suffered on the continent.
From the flames outside to the subordinates.
It was sealed for a long time, and at best it was released, and the damage was serious as it was repulsed.
But I never thought I would lose.
With the power recovered in this palace, he was confident enough to deal with those prisoners.
-Poison…
As the berserkers rushed at them, the Ghoul King looked at them annoyedly.
The prisoners in that dungeon didn’t die and crawled out, making things a hassle.
Attacking other prisoners was admirable, so I left them alone…
die.
Kwajik!
The ghoul king focused his shimmering form and appeared before one of the berserkers.
And then he delivered a brutal blow. The thick berserker’s torso was pierced as it were.
“…!”
It was an attack that sent chills down the spine, but the undead wizards and berserkers weren’t frightened at all, as if they already knew that.
“…Spread as a mist!”
A terrible poison cloud spread around the throne. The ghoul king distorted his form and quickly tried to get out of the poison cloud.
Then the berserkers chased and attacked. The ghoul king quickly transformed his body to avoid the attack.
“Burn up!”
At that moment, sparks flew after the ghoul king. The size was not great, but the heat felt from the small flame was great. The ghoul king instantly felt threatened and pulled back.
you…?
The king of ghouls felt a strange, familiar feeling of displeasure rising up. The opposing wizard was covering his face with a mask made of bones.
