Chapter 749:
Antagondals certainly had a personality suited to a magic criminal.
Even after seeing the poor boy destined to die soon, he continued to laugh as if he was truly happy.
“…I might be able to do it, right?”
“yes. “I too will soon become immortal.”
“yes?”
“this. Wasn’t it a time for us to talk about impossible things with each other? “I thought so!”
“……”
Seeing Antagondals’ sneer, Lee Han made a sincere promise.
I will definitely finish it within today!
* * *
Antagondals stepped outside the workshop with a much happier mind than before.
Nothing pleased this magic criminal more than seeing young, fledgling wizards ruined by excessive greed.
“Destroy, young wizards. haha. “Destroy!”
“noisy.”
“…sorry. “Master.”
Unexpectedly, Antagondals was slightly surprised to see the crazy clone waiting near the workshop.
Due to that alter ego’s personality, I thought he would have lost interest by now and would go somewhere else to refuel, but I never thought he would be waiting nearby.
“Is there anything else you would like to order?”
“……”
“Master?”
When the other person did not answer, Antagondals cautiously raised his head.
The crazy clone didn’t say anything and just stared into the distance.
Antagondals realized that his opponent had gone mad again.
Out of greed, I wanted to inquire about magic, but the scar left by the dark blade still throbbed. Antagondals decided to just use this opportunity to save himself.
“Is this right?”
“……”
Antagondals did not get scolded by saying things like ‘What are you talking about?’ like Lee Han.
I just waited quietly.
Of course, that didn’t mean it wasn’t right.
puck!
The crazy clone blasted Antagondals away even though he was in a strange state. Antagondals answered as he healed his shattered bones.
“you’re right. “Master.”
“what?”
“Everything!”
The crazy alter ego sent Antagondals flying once again.
Faced with a much stronger attack than before, Antagondals seriously considered running away.
If his crazy alter ego had become so rabid that he tried to kill Antagondals today, this could have been his last chance.
“Don’t flatter the royal family without knowing what they are thinking. trash.”
“……”
“I don’t know if it’s right to raise disciples like this. trash. “What do you think?”
“Of course you are!”
Antagondals had little interest in what his mad alter ego was thinking.
They only focus on the current situation and flatter themselves.
And in fact, Antagondals’ own philosophy was not much different from his crazy alter ego.
When a wizard raises a disciple, doesn’t he mean raising a lion that can bite off the back of the master’s neck?
This relationship, where the teacher teaches and keeps the student in check, and the student steals the teacher’s vision and exploits it, is the true inheritance of magic.
“But is it really true?”
“…?”
Antagondals had no idea what his crazy alter ego was thinking about.
Why do you keep asking the same question over and over again?
‘Is this a limitation of the thought body composed of high-density magic power? ‘It might slowly disappear.’
The world originally rejected anything other than its own existence.
As was the case with beings from other dimensions, the magical thought form in front of me was also the same.
They say they are using ancient magic to deceive the world’s rejection and extend their stay, but seeing as the frequency of nonsense is slowly increasing, the limit may soon be reached…
“What about the disciple inside?”
“!”
As the crazy clone’s voice became even colder, Antagondals realized that the other person had come to his senses and had returned to his usual crazy self.
“I am practicing magic. “Master.”
“I can hear the contempt in your maggot-like voice.”
At the words of his crazy clone, Antagondals felt a cold sensation as if a blade had been thrust into the back of his neck.
Dealing with this crazy alter ego made me feel like I was back in my helpless childhood.
A chilling tension that can blow your head off with just the slightest change in the other person’s mood.
Antagondals readily admitted.
“sorry. Master. “I don’t think I’ll be able to do it.”
“You don’t think you can make it?”
Normally, I would unconditionally agree with the wishes of my crazy alter ego, but this time it was different.
No matter how much one thought about it, it was impossible for a second-year student at Einrogard to master all areas of telekinesis corresponding to the 5th circle.
Antagondals was much more knowledgeable about the level of Einroguard than his crazy clone.
Not only the overall level of the students, but even some professors from Einrogard, who were rumored to be geniuses, could not have reached that level at that age.
What’s more, they threatened to tell me to cook it within a day, just in case they gave me enough time.
In such pressured situations, it was difficult for even geniuses to display their abilities.
‘If the person you agreed to and brought with you fails, you’ll be even more angry.’
Antagondals judged calmly and gave an answer.
“yes.”
“okay. “If you fail, kill yourself.”
‘?’
Antagondals paused as his crazy clone spoke with an evil smile.
An ominous feeling crawled up my spine.
‘What are you thinking?’
I didn’t really understand why Antagondals wanted to kill the student himself.
Is Antagondals trying to make himself a public enemy of Einrogard?
But anyway, even death was denied in this territory. The Imperial Commander was not idle enough to be honored with such a fake death.
puck!
While Antagondals was worrying, his crazy clone shattered his entire body once again.
The old magic criminal groaned and answered.
“All right. If you fail, I will kill you.”
Antagondals did not mind killing the young wizard. I actually preferred it.
How could it be so difficult to kill a second-year student like that?
“Instead, if you succeed, I will kill you.”
‘also.’
Antagondals was disgusted by his crazy alter ego’s harsh temperament.
Perhaps he was annoyed by Antagondals’ denial. As long as it was like this, even if the boy failed, he could have tried to kill Antagondals.
“Forgive me, Master. You want to take my worthless life… How could I put my teacher’s judgment below my own? Since you said that, I am as good as dead.”
Antagondals fell down, whimpering.
The crazy clone responded in disgust.
“If you spill disgusting liquid from your eyeballs one more time, I will kill you. trash. “I will give you my arms in return for your insignificant trouble.”
“Yes yes!”
Antagondals was relieved to hear the answer.
Seeing him like that made him seem a little angry. Even if that second-year boy failed, I didn’t think Antagondals would be angry.
“go away.”
“yes! thank you “Master.”
The crazy clone looked at the cliff in the distance.
It wasn’t like looking at a cliff with nothing in it. I was looking at the countless streams of life moving beyond sixteen mountain peaks.
Those lives were trying to find the alter ego’s great magic and break through.
And the gaze of the lord secretly descended like a curtain over those lives.
It seemed like they were saying that if the crazy alter ego came out of the magic of the mountains and touched those ants, there would be no further compromise and war would begin.
Although he was always referred to as dregs, his crazy alter ego did not look down on the other person. After all, isn’t it a being that comes from the same roots as yourself?
I had no intention of provoking him for no reason. There was no reason to mix hands with scraps if only the desired goal could be achieved.
But…
why on earth does that scum value a swarm of ants so much?
“…I don’t know.”
* * *
“It’s time. “Master.”
The crazy clone nodded as if giving permission.
When Antagondals waved his staff, the door to the cave that covered the workshop opened.
“Come out. It’s execution time.”
“……”
The boy walked out without answering, perhaps because he was angry at the ridicule.
It was a natural reaction as he was young.
“Has the magic been accomplished?”
As expected, no answer came back. Antagondals didn’t really expect an answer either, so he nodded and looked at his crazy clone.
“May I begin, Master?”
“Do your best to attack.”
The crazy clone looked at Lee Han, not Antagondals, and spoke firmly.
“Ready to kill.”
Even if Antagondals, who was not a student, died, he would not be able to be resurrected by the power of territory, but he himself did not really care.
Antagondals said while holding his staff and twirling around.
“Whenever you’re ready…”
Boom!
At that moment, Antagondals was surprised to see three defensive spells protecting his body activated in succession.
The powerfully compressed force flew like a storm much faster than Antagondals expected.
“quite! “Split the elemental barrier!”
Like a seasoned magic criminal, Antagondals was surprised but immediately took action.
It seems that the opponent has become quite accustomed to the telekinesis magic that fires the weapon in a straight line.
Since it was the easiest and simplest form, it would have been advantageous to learn it within a limited time.
He deserved praise for being able to make such a choice and focus in a precarious situation where he felt like he was standing on a knife’s edge, but I had no intention of overlooking him for that.
A barrier made of various elements was tightly woven between them. Lee Han swung his cane without losing concentration.
Then, the telekinetic power curved long like a whip, bypassed the barrier, and struck Antagondals.
puck!
‘A change in shape to this extent without chanting?!’
This time, even Antagondals could not help but be surprised.
This was a much more difficult area than before.
It felt as if the boy in front of me had fully embodied telekinesis.
‘But it can’t be!’
When Antagondals tried to unleash his evil magic, his crazy clone gave a light warning.
It was a warning that he would kill you the moment you pushed ahead with force without determining success.
Annoyed by the interruption, but understanding what he meant, Antagondals quickly turned his magic to attack the boy.
Damn it!
Poisonous insects that appeared in the air scattered in various shapes and flew in to bite Lee Han.
The poisonous insects formed through this magic were optimized for attacking simple forms of defensive magic.
Even if it is originally a defensive magic, it is rare to find a magic that completely blocks all directions of the wizard.
These fast and variable poisonous insects quickly burrowed through gaps in defenses and poisoned the wizard.
However, Lee Han swung his staff twice to create a solid defensive shield with no gaps, and then struck down the poisonous insects.
The poisonous insects that were flapping their wings and searching for gaps in the telekinesis shield were swept away by the accurate blow.
‘A more difficult form…!’
At this point, Antagondals also began to sweat.
The moment the boy admits that he has fully embodied telekinesis, his arms are cut off.
Antagondals’ form distorted and transformed into a complex monster.
Most of its body was covered with armor made of ore, making it difficult to attack its weak points from the outside.
Sigh!
However, the boy controlled his telekinesis into a thin, pointed form and sharply stabbed the weak point.
The crazy clone was satisfied with the sight. It was as if the outcome had already been decided.
“I see you understood the teachings well.”
“……”
Lee Han almost lost concentration for a moment.
