【70】69.
“Our mission is to investigate anomalies in the Fairy Forest. “An investigation into why the undead appear.”
Runia raised her hand at Lauta’s words.
“I heard that Death Knights are also appearing in the Fairy Forest now. Senior Lauta, have you ever fought a Death Knight?”
“okay.”
“Then you must have also taken measures against Death Knights.”
“Is there a need to take measures against Death Knights?”
“yes? What is that… … ?”
Runia looked embarrassed at Lauta’s question.
“If Death Knights really appeared, we would have to take measures. but.”
Lauta glanced at Leo.
“There is only one person who has seen the Death Knight.”
“Are you saying Leo lied?”
“I wouldn’t have lied. But I must have been mistaken when I saw other undead. “Skeleton knights also look like death knights.”
“Even so, I think it is right to prepare for unexpected situations. “It’s not that difficult to come up with a strategy for Death Knight, right?”
“The proud representative of Seilun’s school year knows one thing and doesn’t know the other.”
Lauta chuckled.
“High-level undead, such as Death Knight, will be canceled if they do not continuously receive magical energy from the necromancer. So, where there is a Death Knight, there are always demons. But this is Bercia, the capital of El Salvecia.”
“… … .”
“If you are a student of Seilun, you would understand, right? There is massive star magic unfolding around Berkia. The magic created by the great progenitor, Luna, can never be accessed by demons. Even if you approach, your location will be determined immediately.”
Lauta spoke as if he was sure that the Death Knight would not appear.
When Runia hesitated at those words, Leo spoke.
“There is no law that necromancers are necessarily demons.”
“what?”
“Even beings other than demons can use the power of darkness.”
Lauta said after hearing Leo’s words.
“This is even more ridiculous. “Do you think a proud elf would do that?”
Lauta, who spoke in annoyance, suddenly turned around.
“Let’s stop wasting any more time and get on our way.”
Karl whispered softly as he watched Lauta walking ahead.
“Don’t you think your attitude has completely changed since before?”
“It probably means that no one cares anymore.”
Carl clicked his tongue at Leo’s words.
“I don’t really like that type.”
Around that time, some time passed.
Kehehehe! Kyahahahaha!
A group of goblins appeared.
“Would you like to see Rumern’s skills?”
Lauta smiled and gestured at the goblin.
“Would you two like to face it together?”
When Leo was about to say that, Carl spoke.
“Leo. “Is there a need for you to go against goblins?”
Carl grinned and took out his magic wand.
“Leave those idiots to me.”
‘It’s a battle of swords…’ … Now that I think about it, I’ve hardly ever seen you except at the beginning of the semester.’
In Carl’s case, he wanted to be a support student from the time he entered school.
As a result, rather than taking the lead in combat studies classes, I mainly served as a supporter for other students.
In addition, I mainly studied auxiliary magic and enchantment magic rather than attack magic.
“It’s just like a goblin.”
Carl, who was laughing mischievously and twirling the short cane between his fingers, made a mistake and lost the cane.
“Huh?”
Runia looked dumbfounded as she looked at Carl hastily picking up the cane.
“Why is he so clumsy?”
Carl, who had picked up the staff, grinned as he looked at the goblins forming a siege.
“Now then, shall I show you my works?”
The sword opened subspace.
Along with that, weapons poured out from subspace.
Eiran saw that and opened his eyes.
“Weapons… … .”
“well. “That guy’s specialty is alchemy magic.”
While Leo was tilting his head, the sword generated magical power.
Lauta snorted.
“That’s crude magical power.”
Certainly, the sword’s magic power was at the level of the average Rumeren chin-up.
Although Kal is a wizard with outstanding talent, he could not help but feel that he was lacking in Lumern, where only the best gather.
‘But still Carl never gave up.’
I didn’t give up because I knew my limitations.
Rather, I chose to move in a different direction.

Ugh-!
Weapons that responded to the sword’s magic floated in the air.
Leo’s eyes widened slightly when he saw that.
“What is it, a simple telekinesis spell?”
Runia, who was looking at me with some interest, looked slightly annoyed.
Using weapons using telekinetic magic was a very common attack method.
“No, that’s not telekinesis magic.”
“what?”
The sword’s weapons radiated magical power, and powers of various attributes began to manifest.
Eiran was surprised when he saw that.
“What happened?”
“It’s an enchantment.”
“Enchant?”
“okay.”
Leo instantly saw through the magic used by the sword.
‘The telekinesis magic technique was engraved on the weapon. The magic technique responded to the enchantment magic.’
Enchant magic is a simple magic that any wizard can use.
And the idea of engraving telekinesis magic techniques on weapons was also simple.
However, implementing enchantment magic with such a complex structure was difficult even for experienced magicians.
‘Are those weapons made through alchemy? ‘It’s pretty good, isn’t it?’
“Go!”
The weapons ordered by Cal flew towards the goblin.
Weapons enchanted with magic of various properties filled the air.
Cough?
Kyaaaaaaa!
The goblins were scared and scattered.
“Where!”
However, the weapons imbued with the will of the sword moved in a complex manner.
In an instant, the weapons that cut down the goblins returned to Carl.
Carl, who placed the weapon in subspace, looked proud.
“Heh. “How about my ace up your sleeve?”
“Karl! Great!”
Eiran shouted excitedly.
Leo was also impressed.
“Didn’t you announce this magic as a unique magic during the midterm exam?”
“It can’t be said to be unique magic because it only uses simple enchantment magic and weapons made through alchemy.”
“I think being able to access magic in this way is worthy of being called unique magic.”
“is it? “I just came up with this idea while struggling to make something decent.”
Carl was a wizard who specialized in enchantment, which gives something to objects, among alchemy.
However, it is simply difficult for an enchanter to succeed as a wizard.
‘Nevertheless, ever since he entered school, Carl has intensively studied enchantment magic to take advantage of his strengths. That’s why he perfected this magic.’
“If I show it to Professor Ren, he’ll give me a huge compliment, right?”
“oh! really? So do you think you can survive until the second semester with this?”
Carl’s expression brightened at Leo’s words.
No matter what anyone said, Leo’s guarantee was certain.
Leo chuckled as he looked at Carl showing enthusiasm.
Runia and Lauta also looked at the sword in surprise.
“joy. “Yes, it’s just a simple enchantment spell.”
Lauta snorted, but Runia had different thoughts.
‘I can’t believe a kid from our school’s lower class could come up with magic like that.’
Runia looked at Karl with a complicated face.
“Now, let’s move again.”
After that, there were several battles with monsters.
But the undead showed no sign of appearing.
“No undead appear, so you’re a Death Knight? “That’s funny.”
Lauta’s sneer was heard.
But Leo’s face was serious.
Currently, the party has arrived at the entrance to Fairy Land.
The magic of the previous Fairy King was still alive and well, and on the outside, it looked like nothing had changed from a few days ago.
but… … .
‘There is a curse on the land.’
A secret curse that only Leo, who lived in an era of disaster, could see through.
‘Curse of the Dead.’
Among the many curses used by demons, this curse was special.
Because it was a curse that only one person could use.
A corps commander from Tartarus who survived the Age of Calamity.
Erebos’ most loyal confidant and the most electrifying being among the demons.
‘Hell Kaiser, the Demon King.’
He is the commander who actually leads Tartarus.
‘He probably didn’t move it himself.’
If Hell Kaiser made the move himself, it would be truly unusual.
‘If you look at the records since the Age of Disaster, he has never made a move himself. But at least I’m sure there’s a subordinate here who took his orders.’
I looked at the entrance to Fairy Land with a stern face.
‘Beyond this…’ … There is something that Silod wants to protect.’
While Leo was thinking, Runia spoke to Lauta.
“Senior Lauta. “For now, there is no sign of the undead, so let’s return.”
“no. “We explore the surrounding area some more.”
“all right.”
“From now on, let’s all split up and explore the surrounding area.”
Runia paused.
“By ourselves?”
“then? Do I have to look after you?”
Lauta made a nervous expression.
Runia was taken aback by that sight, and Lauta, who snorted, surveyed the surroundings with a serious expression.
“no. Isn’t that person here to lead us? “What on earth are we going to do?”
“Something… … “I think you’re looking for it.”
Carl grumbled with a puzzled expression on his face, and Eiran made a strange expression.
“Leave it alone. “Let’s ignore that unlucky guy and explore the surroundings on our own.”
Runia, who was taking care of the group while sticking her tongue out at Lauta, stopped when she saw Leo.
Leo was staring at Lauta, who was desperately looking for something.
Runia saw Leo’s eyes narrow and had a hunch.
‘He knows something.’
***
That evening.
Lumern and Seirun students who returned from their exploration mission felt doubtful.
“Chelsea, your group didn’t find any undead either?”
“huh. It’s not just our group. “Not all groups found the undead.”
“Is that so?”
The occurrence of undead has already been confirmed by the El Salvekian Congress.
That is why an official request was made to Lumern and Seilun.
‘But the undead disappeared in one day?’
There would be no surprise if the undead themselves disappeared.
Undead have a limit to their activity time unless they are supplied with magical power.
However, the ‘Curse of the Dead’, a curse that creates infinite undead, was unfolding in the center of the Fairy Forest.
‘But the undead disappeared. As if there were a necromancer controlling the undead.’
“Teacher Herdium.”
At that time, Lauta spoke to Herdium, who was listening to the report from the Seilun students.
“What’s going on, student Lauta?”
“Although they say there are no undead, it is true that something unusual has occurred. Fairy Forest is a sanctuary for elves. I think this sinister group should be rooted out as soon as possible. It may be dangerous for first graders, but second graders can easily navigate the forest even at night. So please allow me to explore at night.”
At those words, several second graders whispered as if they were annoyed.
“Wow, that’s flattering again.”
“Unlucky bastard.”
Since all the second graders except Lauta were in the lower and intermediate classes, the classmates’ view of Lauta was not positive.
“As expected, Student Lauta, I understand your thoughts. But even for second graders, exploring at night is dangerous. Night is the time when the energy of the undead becomes stronger. Therefore, that request cannot be granted.”
“But sir!”
“Student Lauta. “If you have too much motivation, problems arise.”
Seeing Herdium speaking firmly, Lauta gritted his teeth and stepped back.
Leo, who saw that, muttered to himself.
‘It’s getting more and more suspicious.’
