Chapter 510
Originally, Professor Millay preferred calculation and theory rather than intuition or emotion, but this time he decided to be sure without further confirmation.
It is rare to be so sure.
‘But how?’
It was not something I could do right away just because I wanted to do it in the first place.
Basically, beings from the other world were not tolerant of intruders.
Even the most negotiable elementals turned violent the moment the intruder’s demeanor offended them in the slightest.
As such, very careful preparation was required to move out of the realm of other worlds.
Drawing up a map of the surroundings, negotiating with the beings in the vicinity, and sending a call to the head of the area to go over…
These things were not something that could be done quickly, no matter how talented they were.
Impossible unless a powerful being from the spirit realm invited you!

“?”
Lee Han, who was walking through the sea road exposed below, felt a sense of incongruity.
Gradually, the atmosphere around them became unusual.
Beyond the exposed depths of the sea, powerful spirits violently radiated magical powers.
If it wasn’t for the sea road that was firmly fixed like a wall, it seemed that a fight would have happened at once.
‘Is this strange?’
At first, Lee Han thought this pattern was a letter of introduction.
They thought it was a pattern that Uphinum had introduced to the other spirits under his own name, saying, ‘This person is trustworthy, so don’t doubt him even if he has too much magical power.’
But the atmosphere back then was strange.
If that letter of introduction was correct, shouldn’t at least some spirits come out and respond favorably?
But instead of such a being, the atmosphere around him became more and more threatening, and only bloody beings roamed around…
Lee Han closed his eyes and remembered Professor Voladi’s teachings.
If you want to be suspicious…
‘Hit first!’
“Arise, warriors of bone!”
Skeleton warriors rose immediately.
Skeleton warriors who exude the dark element we learned about yesterday surrounded and protected Lee Han.
Then, the spirits reminiscent of deep-sea fish that swam beyond the sea wall became more and more violent.
thump thump!
The roaring figures colliding against the wall of water were so menacing that they would have rushed at them at any moment if they hadn’t had the strength to block each other.
Chow!
“Lightning!”
Eventually, with the sound of water splashing, the guy who jumped over the wall came out.
When a spirit reminiscent of a lanternfish rushed over the sea road, creating spray, Lee Han struck the lightning without hesitation.
Although it must have been a weakness by nature, the deep sea spirit did not stop and recklessly charged. Rather, he fired water at Lee Han.
Wow!
‘Not normal!’
The opponent was a spirit so powerful that you could feel the pressure on your skin.
If he didn’t run away when he saw Lee Han in the first place and burned his fighting spirit, he was not a normal level spirit.
Lee Han quickly dodged the attack with enhanced senses and future foresight. A column of water brushed overhead and tore through the floor with a roar.
Lee Han, who clearly sensed that his opponent was several orders of magnitude higher than himself, clicked his tongue.
‘I will never believe in spirits again.’
What kind of hardship is this after trusting in Upinum and stepping into it?
However, putting aside the sense of betrayal of the spirit, he had to stop the enemy in front of him. Lee Han advanced the skeleton warriors.
The deep-sea fish spirit swallowed the skeleton warrior right away as if it was impossible.
-?!
It was not a normal skeleton warrior, but a skeleton warrior emitting the energy of the dark element, striking from within.
Lee Han immediately completed the spell without missing the pause between the deep sea spirits.
“Rush, the thunderbolt of Perkuntra!”
Several times thicker than before, the thunderbolt struck the deep sea spirit.
The deep-sea fish spirit, which had stopped due to the dark element, was hit by a thunderbolt and made a sharp sound.
‘Once more!’
Lee Han, who found another opportunity, immediately brought a water shield between them and exploded one of the skeleton warriors.
Wow!
The basic thunderbolt was such a big blow that even half of the body of the deep sea spirit, who had been able to withstand lightly, was blown away.
Thanks to the continuous accumulation of magical damage, the effect was better than expected.
However, what happened after that went differently than Lee Han expected.
The deep-sea fish spirit restored his body in an instant.
“……”
I’ve heard many times that fighting spirits in the spirit realm is dangerous, but I never thought it would be so fraudulent.
The beings of the other world exerted enormous powers in their own realm. The deep-sea spirit restored its body as if scattered water droplets gathered again. After tasting the bitter taste
,
the deep sea spirit started attacking more cautiously than before.
Instead of despising them as skeleton warriors and swallowing them, they fired water bombs and tried to clear the undead summons first.
There was no need for complicated techniques or principles like Eumidhus. Whenever a mass of water with a huge mass hit directly, the skeleton warriors were shattered and returned as bone fragments.
Kwak Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwam!
After clearing the obstacle, the spirit of the deep sea fish rushed again.
“Arise, warriors of bone!”
-…?!
However, the deep sea spirit still looked down on Lee Han.
If it had been a summoning method in the undead world, it would not have been possible to summon them until the blow was recovered after being reverse summoned, but these skeleton warriors were summoned by Lee Han assembling them from beginning to end.
They were beings that could be summoned again as long as they had magical powers.
As the skeleton warriors clung to both sides of the deep sea spirits, even the most violent spirits couldn’t help but care.
It seemed that the wizard would cause an explosion again.
However, Lee Han chose another method instead of bone explosion.
hooked!
The poison magic learned at the Ghoul King’s palace came out from the tips of the skeleton warriors’ spears.
Although the degree of perfection was not yet perfect, the powerful corrosive poison struck the spirit.
When the deep sea spirit inhaled poison followed by the dark element, it withdrew with a pained sound.
I thought it was a young wizard, but it wasn’t usually annoying.
Boom!!!!!
“!?”
Lee Han and the deep-sea fish spirit were also surprised.
Between the two of them, a huge demonic spear like a thunderbolt was pierced.
– What are you doing?
A fish-man spirit hurriedly ran from behind.
When the fish spirit wore a unique style of heavy armor and let out a bewildering look, the deep sea spirit lowered its head in intimidation.
-Why did you attack the wizard invited by Upinum?
-■■■ ■■ ■■ ■■■ ■■ …
-What kind of pun? The very fact that you allowed entry into this realm is an invitation!
The Fishman Spirit was very angry with the Deep Sea Fish Spirit.
The pattern on that magician was the one that allowed Upinum, the tribune of the sea and rainstorm, to enter his domain.
A wizard who came in with such a pattern should of course be considered a guest of Upinum.
How embarrassing would Upinum be if an accident happened.
“I have a question.”
-Tell me. Wizard.
“By the way, if you invited me, shouldn’t you have made preparations to prevent an accident in the first place?”
-……
The fish-man spirit had nothing to say even with ten mouths.
* * *
-This is the Hell Sea Corridor. It is a place where violent spirits dwell.
“Where is it over there?”
-Knife’s Undersea Canyon. It’s where the more violent spirits reside.
“Then what about over there?”
– It’s an abyssal year. It’s a place where terribly violent spirits reside.
“…Is there no violent spirit?”
At Lee Han’s question, the fish man spirit seemed a little embarrassed and put a huge trident behind his back and said,
-This realm is where violent and powerful spirits reside in the first place…
“True. Can’t I see Mr. Uphinum?”
Lee Han asked if he would not be able to meet Upinum.
Of course, it wasn’t pure intention.
When I met him, I planned to ask him to take responsibility, saying, ‘Didn’t I almost die because of you?
If Einrogard’s professors had seen it, they would have admired it, saying, ‘He really listened to < Basic Imperial Language and Logic > lecture.’
– Mmm. Upinum’s residence is…
The fishman spirit looked Lee Han up and down, pondered, then shook his head.
-If a wizard like you enters, your body will be torn apart at once.
“Can’t it be done with magic?”
-No matter how much magic power you have… No. That’s a lot. But it can’t be done.
The fish-man spirit was surprised, but then came to his senses and firmly stopped him.
Just as the water pressure intensifies as you descend into the deep sea, a similar law worked in the spirit realm.
The more you enter a realm with powerful beings, the more pressure the outside intruder has to deal with.
“All right. Rather, I want to make a contract with the water spirit.”
-All of the spirits here are violent and aiming at the master’s back, so I can’t recommend it…
“…then why did you invite them?”
At Lee Han’s question, the fish spirit broke out in sweat.
It was a word that was word for word.
Upinum himself would have been intoxicated and said, ‘Wizard, I will give you the key to my realm’ and gave it the pattern, but now that I think about it, there was nothing good about a young wizard entering here.
-Upinum’s actions may not be understandable at first glance, but there is a profound dizziness inside…
‘It looks like a lie.’
Lee Han looked at the fishman spirit’s words with doubtful eyes.
From the things I couldn’t say in detail, there were a lot of suspicious things.
“Then can you convince the calm and docile spirits of other realms to make a contract with me?”
– Mmm. That’s a bit… Spirits from other realms are difficult to interfere with. Because they belong to their realm. I can’t interfere carelessly.
“hmm.”
While thinking about it, Lee Han looked at the fish man spirit and asked.
“Then, if you sign a contract with me over there…”
-…Which realm do you want a spirit from?
* * *
Nylia rode an eagle spirit and glide between the mountains.
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa I’m sorry!
Nilia thought the eagle spirit was angry and apologized hastily, but the eagle spirit was not angry.
After sprinting happily several times, she gently put Neilia down and rubbed her hair.
“…!”
Nylia was very happy when the eagle spirit that controls the wind chose her.
This eagle spirit was lofty and picky, so it never picked a master that didn’t fit with it.
Still choosing yourself
‘It’s good that you worked hard as a Shadow Ranger…!’
Nilia, who came out of the magic circle with the joy of signing a contract with a new spirit, flinched when she saw Lee Han’s tired face.
“You don’t have to make a contract with that spirit! yes?!”
“huh? I made a contract.”
“!”
Nilia was taken aback by her friend’s answer.
Did Lee Han make a contract with the Spirit?
“what!? how!? Did you catch it by force!?”
“Why do you think so?”
“…ah no.”
Nilia lowered her ears to the sides and smirked.
Come to think of it, I was very rude to my friend.
“I signed a contract through persuasion.”
“You want to hear? tell me.”
Nilia thought it was time for her to make Yihan feel better.
Didn’t Lee Han and Yoner always soothe him?
This time, it was time for Nilia to soothe Lee Han.
When Nilia finished preparing to listen and looked at Lee Han, Lee Han opened his mouth with a face contemplating where to start talking.
“So, there is a realm of deep sea spirits governed by a great spirit named Upinum.”
“…?”
“I was called to the realm of those spirits…”
“Wait. Wait.”
