Chapter 552
“No. Not all magicians think of spirits.”
The squirrel spirit shook his head on Lee Han’s shoulder as if he was right.
Even if it wasn’t an extreme case like the skeleton headmaster, wizards who were serious about spirits were rarer than expected.
Even if you become friendly with some spirits and make a contract, you will not risk your life for the spirits and enter the depths of the contaminated forest.
“But how did you appear in front of us…?”
“There is a potion that temporarily stops the magic, Headmaster.”
“!”
“…!!!”
As all three of them were students with excellent grades in alchemy, they immediately understood how great what senior Elendil was saying.
No matter how briefly, I thought I’d stop the Skull Principal’s magic.
The eyes that had just been looking at Illendil as ‘crazy senior’ or ‘suspicious senior’ changed to respect for ‘great senior’.
“Awesome!”
“really…!”
“Yes?”
Indeed, Illendil wondered why his juniors were like this.
“why?”
“Seniors. I’m sorry, but we need to save the spirits. Now is the time…”
“I’ll help you. Because the effect of the potion still remains.”
“Uh…”
Lee Han, seeing it for the first time, wondered if he had to accompany the still suspicious senior who was the culprit behind this incident.
Besides, I have to make a contract with the spirits…
“I don’t know when the professor will return, but wouldn’t it be dangerous?”
“huh. Because the forest and spirits are more important than me.”
“cool…!”
“I must have looked at the wrong person. Lee Han.”
Yihan thought to himself as Priest Cyana and Yoner showed even stronger respect to Elendil than before.
‘Did everyone forget that this person is the source of the Pollutants?’
But there was no more time to waste.
“All right. Let’s go.”
Anyway, as an alchemist several times superior to his senior, Lee Han, it would be helpful.
…I felt a bit uneasy about being the culprit behind all this…
* * *
“Why did you want to create an artificial Dark Spirit?”
Ordinary students would talk about this evening while walking, but students who excelled in alchemy talked about alchemy while walking.
To Priest Cyana’s question, Elendil answered with his characteristic slow voice.
“huh. I wanted to write as a forest keeper.”
“A forest keeper?”
The forests of Ein Rogard had a powerful force close to that of the Great Ancient Forest.
However, not all forests in the Empire could be like that.
One of the elements that the forest was particularly vulnerable to was the dark element.
To the extent that sometimes a single dark spirit is wrongly summoned and contaminates the entire huge forest.
Illendil, heartbroken by such cases, took a reverse approach.
How about using the dark spirit as a forest keeper?
“and! Really…”
“Isn’t that a crazy idea?”
Priest Siana, who was about to admire Lee Han’s murmur, felt embarrassed.
“Isn’t that a good idea?”
“Priestess Siana. Now look at the pollutants in front of you.”
Elendil became sullen at the conversation of his juniors. The leaves connected to her hair gave way as if they were dead.
“I wish I had been successful.”
‘Oops. He’s a senior.’
Lee Han realized his mistake.
He was in a hurry because of the spirit, so he made a mistake he didn’t normally make.
Illendil is definitely not a senior.
If rumors about Lee Han spread in the community among seniors…
‘Can’t we use the Moradi family? It’s impossible. I told you my full name and family.’
“no. Seniors. I think it is a meaningful attempt.”
“huh? It’s a crazy idea.”
“Because all original pioneers look crazy. It meant admiration.”
“You are such a good person.”
The leaves of Elendil quickly cheered up.
“By the way, wouldn’t it be better to get help from an expert for elements that are difficult to handle like the dark element?”
“Can you help me?”
The dryad half-blood senior stared at Lee Han.
Lee Han answered quickly without even breathing.
“I was talking about the seniors of the black magic school.”
“Yes. But the black magic schools are all eccentric and scary.”
“yes?”
At the senior’s words, Lee Han hesitated as if he had heard something wrong.
“for a moment. The spirit is over there.”
Elendil extended a finger and corrected his direction.
“Do you feel the energy of the spirits?”
“huh. I’ve been close with the spirits since I was little.”
“……”
Yoner shook his head when he saw that the tendons were rising on the back of his friend’s hand holding the staff.
What the heck is the spirit…!
* * *
“It’s all over. There are spirits gathered there.”
Lee Han had no choice but to acknowledge the skill of his senior, who served as a temporary guide instead of Professor Thunderwalk.
All of the mixed-blood spirits whose contracts in the ancestors were accidentally manifested in the later generations had different characteristics.
Some mixed spirits were sensitive enough to freak out when they saw Lee Han, but other mixed spirits were indifferent.
It was clear that Illendil was naturally born for affinity, as he was said to have been friendly with the spirits.
“for a moment.”
In an instant, the senior’s complexion changed.
“The homunculus is coming this way.”
“!”
Lee Han’s eyes changed.
Unlike other contaminants, the man-made Dark Spirit, the cause of the situation, had a different story.
“I block it. You guys take the spirits with you.”
Lee Han, who was about to nod, hesitated.
If there are spirits nearby and Elendil shows devotion, won’t the story return to square one?
“no. I will block it as well.”
Illendil looked at his junior saying, ‘You really are a really nice person’.
“Ugh. What did you say your name was?”
“I don’t know…”
“It’s Mr. Wardanaz.”
“Lee Han of the Wardanaz family.”
“yes. you’re right.”
“Lee Han of the Wardanaz family. Lee Han of the Wodanaz family. huh. I will remember.”
The dryad half-breed senior swung his staff.
Then, the already dense trees grew more entangled and formed a solid wall.
thud!
The man-made dark spirit that was running was trapped in a wooden prison.
However, the spirit was not easy. After changing the shape of an instant, he pulled his whole body out through the cracks in the wooden prison and started crawling out.
“Darkness, gather here!”
Lee Han responded right away even without a word from his senior.
Elendil, who was imprisoning the spirit in a tree, looked at Lee Han and nodded. It was exactly what I had to do right now.
Continuously absorbing dark elements from artificial dark spirits.
Dark elements gathered at the tip of Lee Han’s staff.
!
When his body was ripped off, the spirit reacted very sensitively.
The spirit, which was trying to hold on to the dark element somehow by force, used a different method as soon as Lee Han lost control.
‘This…!’
As the dark element condensed at the tip of the wand began to flicker and explode, Lee Han quickly took out a piece of bone from the reagent bag and compressed it.
Some of the bone fragments were burned, but it could not be helped.
‘< Dark wave spreading >!’
Lee Han recalled the magic from the magic book that Professor Voladi had given him.
Magic that condenses dark elements and then explodes them in the form of waves to affect the surroundings.
Other elements had no special power, but the characteristics of the dark element made this kind of wave-type attack fatal.
Magicians who have a living body will lose their vitality after being directly hit by these dark elements a few times.
Right now, the other spirit was instinctively trying to cause a similar phenomenon.
“Is it difficult to absorb…?”
Elendil gasped, and cut the words out.
He used potions to confine them, but since it was a large-scale magic, it seemed that the consumption of mana and physical strength was not normal.
Priest Yoner and Cyana were also helping, but they were already breaking out in a cold sweat.
Lee Han had a hunch that if he stepped back from this situation, things would get more complicated.
‘In any case, I have no choice but to deal with magic.’
I haven’t practiced < Diffusion of Dark Waves > yet, and I’ve been putting it off, but in the current situation, I had no choice but to read it.
Lee Han swung his staff with recklessness that would have closed his eyes if Diret was by his side.
“Darkness, gather here!”
The Dark Elements gathered once again.
The spirit, struggling in the wooden prison, reacted more quickly than it had experienced this time.
As the dark elements immediately flickered and tried to burst, there was no time to confine them to the reagents.
As Lee Han read in the book of magic, he cast < Diffusion of Dark Waves >.
“Darkness sweep away!”
Waves of darkness rippled through the air overhead. Before the opponent exploded, Lee Han cast it first and consumed it.
Elendil asked again, puzzled.
“Why…?”
“It was my first time using magic, so I couldn’t help it!”
“what?”
Yihan couldn’t explain further to Elendil.
The spirit, realizing that it was impossible to keep up with the opposing mage with the dark element, changed its method once again.
The grass and twigs combined with the dark element rose like puppets.
At the sight, Elendil let out a scream of pain.
“Bastard!”
“Hands, split the enemy!”
Seeing the enemy cling to him without giving him a chance to pull out the morning star, Lee Han barely memorized the spell.
Headmaster Skeleton’s melee spell < The Sharp Hand of Gonadaltes >.
Unlike other magic, when did I use this kind of magic…!
Chow!
“Shine!”
He slashed with one hand and swung his staff with the other hand to memorize spells, but the number and momentum were unusual.
A mage always loses in a melee like this.
“Shine!”
The moment the lightning struck, another grass doll rushed in. Lee Han forcibly anchored the lightning to the end and stabbed the cane like a spear.
If there was a short gap, he could buy time by mobilizing all the summoned beasts, but there was no gap.
If only there was a little break!
Pajijijik!
As if responding to Lee Han’s wish, the elemental lightning at the end of the wand expanded in size and covered the wand.
Lee Han himself was oblivious to killing enemies approaching from the other side and staring at the spirit trapped inside the wooden prison.
I realized the change after noticing that all the enemies around the hand holding the staff were down.
“…?”
Lee Han was shocked to realize that his staff had changed like a spear of lightning.
‘for a moment. How did I do this?’
From the looks of it, it was clear that the staff was used as a wick to anchor elemental lightning in the form of a blazing spear.
As much as Professor Voladi talked about fixing the shape of the lightning element, I knew it as soon as I saw it.
But the embarrassing thing was that he himself couldn’t remember how he did it.
Because I did it in such an urgent situation, I instinctively…
‘This is not the time!’
Lee Han immediately summoned Sharkhan and the Skeleton Warriors.
The summoned creatures blocked the grass puppets that were pushed out by the lightning spear. Lee Han took advantage of the gap and ran with the spear of lightning. !
The spirit trapped between the wooden prison screamed in terror as if it had realized its fate.
Pajijijijijik!
Unlike the impact of lightning that was fired and passed through, the power of condensed and fixed lightning was sharp and ferocious.
In addition, it did not disappear and continued to burn the spirits.
Lee Han pulled out his spear and threw it again.
Pajijijijijik!
Until the opponent was reverse summoned, Lee Han intended to stab the spear.
Of course, since he was created by Einrogard’s seniors, he wouldn’t be easily reverse-summoned like a normal spirit.
But it didn’t matter.
If it’s an endurance match, Lee Han’s magic will never disappear first.
Whoop, whoop, whoop!
! ! ! ! !
After a chorus of thunderbolts and screams, the Artificial Spirit gave up all resistance and knelt down.
He stopped the attack and made his own pattern rise on the back of Lee Han’s hand.
It was a sign that he had completely surrendered to the wizard at his disposal.
“???”
Of course, Lee Han was just embarrassed because he had no intention of signing a contract with the other party.
Wasn’t he the ferocious guy who went crazy in the first place?
There weren’t many wizards who signed a contract with a guy who didn’t know when they would stab him in the back.
Unless you’re crazy about spirits…
“Mrs. Wardanaz! Make a contract! You wanted to make a contract with a spirit!”
“Is it really? I think it’s a good idea. He’s a bit naughty, but he’s actually a nice guy!”
“……”
Lee Han frowned at the shouts of Priest Cyana and Senior Elendil.
