Episode 733
Delet wondered why his junior was suddenly acting like this.
Wasn’t the principal a bit crazy to begin with?
It was a little strange that my junior, who was practically a master student, was realizing that now.
“I saw this vision.”
Lee Han hurriedly explained the vision he had just seen.
Direth listened with a serious expression, knowing full well that the illusions seen by a wizard, especially a wizard who had learned foresight magic, were not something to be ignored.
“How tall is the tree?”
“yes?”
“What was the height of the tree here in the fantasy?”
“There was almost no difference, but it seemed a little smaller. no way?”
After checking the height of the trees, length of shadows, and other scenes in his junior’s fantasy in detail, Delet became lost in thought.
Since the Dark Forest was a place she had been observing since she entered school, she was able to see changes in time with simple differences.
“It must have been within two or three months at most…”
“…!”
Lee Han’s face hardened when he heard that the vision he had seen happened not long ago.
“It was a big deal because it happened two or three months ago. senior. “You have to go back right away.”
“What are you going to do when you go back?”
“We must send a letter to His Majesty the Emperor, contact the head of the family, and prepare to subdue the principal.”
As a strangely specific plan emerged immediately, Delet wondered if his junior had often thought about such plans.
“Calm down for now. Junior. “Because there are some strange things.”
“Why is the principal planning this? “The principal usually enjoys making plans like this, right?”
“I didn’t say that… It’s a little strange since you saw this vision. “I didn’t predict the future, but I saw an illusion left by a wizard.”
Delet already knew well from his experience last year that his junior had a strong resistance to poison and illusions.
As such, this was not a hostile magic attack, but was closer to the reverberation of a memory intentionally left by the wizard.
So that someone qualified can see it when they get here.
If the principal is plotting an evil plan, why would he leave evidence like this?
“I think I know.”
“What?”
“The principal enjoys that thrill.”
“…junior…”
Delet expressed his disapproval, but Lee Han was rather frustrated.
“The principal is full of madness, so he may be scheming by telling others about his plans!”
“Couldn’t it be someone who resembles the principal?”
Even though he felt that the chances were low, Delet tried to calm his junior down.
Then Lee Han stopped.
“for a moment. Now that I think about it, I’ve heard that the principal has a crazy alter ego.”
“what? really?”
“But that itself may be the principal’s evil plan. “You lied like that to excuse yourself when you got into an accident later…”
“Junior. “I think it’s like a crazy alter ego.”
“Is that so.”
When his senior spoke strongly, Lee Han could no longer remain stubborn and retreated as if he was disappointed. If Delet spoke like that, he might have been a truly crazy alter ego.
‘It might be a fake rumor created by the principal.’
“Why is such a crazy alter ego hanging out with a magic criminal? “Why do magic criminals have such an alter ego as their teacher?”
“Junior. “It’s definitely urgent, but don’t you really wonder why the principal’s crazy alter ego was created?”
Of course, the first thing to do was to find out what purpose the magic criminal and his crazy clone came here for, but Direth was surprised that his junior, as a magician, wasn’t curious about that.
Are you really not curious?
“It could have been caused by breathing incorrectly or sneezing.”
“…It’s just my guess, but it’s highly likely that it arose while the principal was raising his level.”
As Direth inherited some of Gonadaltes’ magic from Professor Mortum, he also knew a little about the magic used by the Skeleton Headmaster.
The Skeleton Headmaster’s magic had its roots in a secret secret developed during the time of the kingdom, which was a long time ago in the era called ‘ancient’.
Principal Skeleton, a prince from a small kingdom, was a wizard so outstanding that he ranked first among wizards at the time, and he devoted himself mercilessly to all kinds of magic to rise to a higher level.
Direth did not know what powerful and extraordinary magic was involved in the process. Even if Delet was an excellent student, it was impossible to understand that.
However, I had heard that there was a great magic that could cut off one’s own five passions in the process.
“There are no lichs in the empire. “There are some warlocks who became lichs with legal permission.”
“I saw it in the newspaper too.”
It was no secret that warlocks who had reached the highest level changed their bodies into undead to aim for a higher level.
However, surprisingly, not many people made that choice because the penalty for becoming rich was greater than expected.
Just changing a walking stick requires an adjustment period, but how much of an adjustment period would it take to change one’s own body?
There were many lichs who changed their bodies in hopes of becoming lich, but ended up despairing and running wild.
“Last time, a crazy lich polluted the southern granary.”
“Let’s not leak the other way. Junior. As you may have guessed, lichs aren’t that perfect to begin with. “But even though the principal is Rich, he is almost perfect.”
Principal Skull often spoke of the golden-ratio beauty of the curvature of his head, but that was not the perfection Direth was talking about now.
To survive from ancient times until now, it would have been impossible for an imperfect being like an ordinary lich.
“There must have been great magic that was on a different level from ordinary lichization, and it wouldn’t be surprising if a crazy clone appeared in the process.”
“okay. I suspect that the great magic that removes the seven passions is the direct cause. I’ve never seen such magic in any book. “If you just look at the results, it wouldn’t be surprising if side effects like uncontrollable self-immolation occurred.”
‘It’s plausible.’
Lee Han deeply sympathized with Delet’s hypothesis.
As can be seen from the appearance of the skeleton principal who proudly said that he had cut off the seven evil passions, it did not seem to be an ordinary level of magic.
If it was something that even the Skeleton Headmaster would be proud of, it would be truly the greatest ancient magic among ancient magics, and it would not be surprising if side effects that the Skeleton Headmaster did not expect occurred in the process.
“I want to give strength to my senior’s hypothesis. But senior. “If that alter ego was created through that process, then for what purpose did it come to Einrogard?”
“I don’t know about that.”
Delet frowned slightly.
There seemed to be more than one crazy alter ego, but not only was it impossible to tell which alter ego they were, but their purpose was even harder to predict.
Even a sane skeleton principal is someone who is hard to predict, but a crazy skeleton principal.
“But I can guess the purpose of the magic criminal you mentioned. “You probably want to learn magic.”
“Are you saying you are disguising yourself as a student of Einrogard!?”
Lee Han was taken aback because he thought he was too old for a freshman.
“Not that one. “From the principal’s alter ego.”
“ah. but. “It was a bit different from a typical priest-priest relationship.”
Usually, a teacher would chase a student and harass him or her to learn, rather than coldly ignoring him or her.
‘The priest-priest relationship you think of, junior, is a little strange…’
Direth thought to himself after hearing Lee Han talk about the priest-priest relationship.
The junior was already pitiful enough.
“If it were the principal’s alter ego, he would be a master who would be more than capable of teaching magic. “It’s understandable that the magic criminal is gaining notoriety.”
“If you are the principal’s alter ego, it is understandable that you may be capricious while teaching. “It’s not surprising if you act on a whim when you’re bored.”
“Junior… You didn’t fight with the principal recently, did you?”
“yes? “Isn’t it?”
Lee Han looked puzzled as Direth looked at him with concern.
I was talking about rational analysis, but why?
“I just asked.”
“I don’t know what the principal’s alter ego was thinking when he brought a magical criminal to Einrogard. “Maybe they are trying to assassinate the principal.”
“surely.”
Direth’s complexion hardened.
As soon as I got back, I felt like I had to tell the skeleton principal what happened right away.
“By the way, senior.”
“?”
“Shouldn’t we catch the dark snail? Seeing my senior chasing it like that, it seems quite useful…”
“It’s useful, but it’s not important enough to chase it again now.” Just recovering dark elemental magic, amplifying overall black magic, strengthening undead summons, or strengthening reagents…” “
……”
Lee Han closed his eyes tightly, as if blaming himself.
I brought up the story of the skeleton principal’s self-immolation for no reason.
The dark snail was much more important!
‘shit. ‘I can’t believe I’m missing out by talking about such useless things.’
Lee Han, who was blaming himself, suddenly felt a sense of discomfort.
At the same time, the bracelet Direth was wearing jingled and made a warning sound. The two wizards’ complexions changed.
“senior!”
“Hold on tight!”
Delet reacted immediately like a 5th grade student who had experienced a prenatal crisis.
If an enemy is strong enough to activate a boundary artifact without being caught by your senses, it is not a weak enemy.
Delet put his left thumb in his mouth, bit it to produce blood, and sprayed the blood into the air.
Then, bone fragments imbued with magic popped out from inside his arms and activated magic all at once.
-What is that? It’s so hideous!
A powerful summon that was on a different level from the temporarily summoned shadow summons appeared earlier.
It was a large strange bird, and it must have had spirituality, so it spoke in human language and pointed behind it.
But Delet’s magic wasn’t over yet.
As different bone fragments burned in the air one by one, powerful black magic was cast.
Golems emitting green light grabbed hold of a huge bone barrier and pushed towards the enemy as if they were striking them.
“!”
Lee Han’s complexion also changed as he saw the enemy’s appearance with his own eyes.
A huge mass of black, sticky evil magic was running along the forest like a wave.
That was definitely not a monster that occurred naturally in the forest.
‘The principal’s crazy alter ego? ‘Magical criminal?’
I don’t know which of the two left it behind, but that’s not important right now.
Lee Han immediately cast various spells and prepared to keep the enemy in check.
Damn it! Pajik!
The 3-circle cold and lightning spells flew like bullets.
Direth, who saw this, smiled without knowing it even as he hastily prepared his magic. It is rare to find such a reliable junior.
“The blow…”
As the enemy quickly regained its shape, Lee Han made a difficult expression.
It was difficult to attack an enemy with such strong recovery ability by striking the body. It will lead to an endless war of attrition.
You have to summon firepower to burn all at once or stab the opponent’s weak point…
“Let the blood in my bones turn into poison and turn into a terrible curse!”
Meanwhile, Delet completed the magic.
‘Curse magic?!’
A curse spell that caused damage to the opponent’s very existence was definitely effective.
However, curse magic is easily blocked with even the slightest defense, and honestly, it is a magic that is more often used as a check among wizards.
As a member of the same black magic school, Lee Han couldn’t help but admire the sight of it being strengthened so intensely.
“…weak!”
However, Direth clicked his tongue when he realized that the curse had not dealt a fatal blow.
-Dangerous! Delet! Dangerous!
The monster carrying the two warned them.
Even though the golem and the bone barrier were binding the enemy, the speed of the chase was accelerating.
‘…hit the player first!’
Direth pulled out a black shimmering sphere from his chest along with a gloomy spell.
The magical energy was so compressed that as soon as the sphere was taken out, the surrounding space was distorted and screamed.
‘Small world!’
Lee Han realized what kind of magic his senior was trying to use.
Because Principal Skeleton forced me to learn it, I studied it in the meantime.
I don’t know what that sphere is, but it must be something that temporarily helps activate the small world.
Even though the magic power was compressed like that, Direth grabbed the sphere and began to pour in more magic power.
In an instant, his expression turned pale and blood flowed from his nose.
Lee Han, who became desperate, grabbed the sphere together to help his senior.
“I will help too!”
“…!!!”
Direth’s eyes widened in astonishment at the sight of his junior who, unlike himself, who gathered all the magic power from the surrounding area and infused it with his bare body, ignorantly tried to infuse it with his bare body.
“…You bastard…!”
Lee Han pretended not to hear and avoided his gaze.
