【73】72.
“Fire Wall.”
As soon as Leo completed the spell, a wall of fire enveloped the orcs.
Kieeeeek!
Leo withdrew his magic as he saw the orcs turning into ashes in an instant.
Runia and Eiran walked forward while looking at the orc’s corpse with only its bare bones remaining.
“for a moment.”
“huh?”
“yes?”
Runia and Eiran stopped walking.
Leo stopped the two and looked at the orcs.
Gooooo-!
The skeletons of the orcs floated in the air, emitting black smoke.
Cracking- crackling-
The bones were put together one by one and became a skeleton.
Runia and Eiran looked nervous.
So far, all the undead have emerged from the ground.
The undead that had been summoned in advance were lying in ambush.
But it was different now.
The monsters that had just become corpses arose as undead.
“Is there a necromancer around!”
Runia’s eyes rose sharply.
Grumbling!
He unleashed the magic power of the Phoenix and was alert to his surroundings.
Eiran was also armed with animus armor and adjusted his sword and shield.
Ta-da-da-da-da-!
The Orc skeletons adjusted their weapons and charged.
Runia snorted and raised her palm.
Grumble-!
A small sphere of flame was created on the palm of the hand.
It was a fireball, the most basic flame attack magic.
Although it was a simple magic, it was also a magic whose power varied greatly depending on the skill of the user.
Hwahwahwahwahwa-!
The fireball multiplied into several in an instant.
Leo saw that and his eyes lit up.
‘At that age, can you chant at that high speed?’
A technique for chanting the same spell multiple times at the same time.
The technique itself is not difficult, but performing it at high speed is difficult even for veteran wizards.
‘You can’t believe you can do that only with sense. ‘Isn’t it great?’
While Leo was purely admiring.
Runia’s fireball hit the Orc skeletons.
Quagga River -!
It caused an explosion of flames and instantly destroyed the orc skeletons.
“It’s simple.”
Runia, the corner of her mouth curled, looked around.
“I’ve taken care of all the low-level skeletons you use! “Stop showing yourself now!”
Runia’s fierce voice echoed throughout the winter forest.
But the only thing that came back was Runia’s voice, which became an echo.
“What? This doesn’t come out, right? Then I will blow up the entire area… … .”
“stop. “There are no necromancers around.”
Seeing Runia raising her hand to chant a powerful spell, Leo grabbed her wrist and stopped her attack.
“Leo, you just saw it too. Orcs become skeletons.”
Leo said calmly, looking at Runia who had an expression on her face asking what she was talking about.
“That’s not turning you into undead by a necromancer.”
“Then what is it?”
“It’s a curse.”
“curse?”
Runia opened her eyes wide.
Eiran also had a puzzled expression.
“Among the curses, are there any that create undead?”
“Curse of the Dead.”
“Curse of the Dead? “This is the first curse I’ve heard.”
Leo gave a puzzled look as he looked at Runia, who was tilting her head.
“Didn’t Seilun learn about curses?”
“Bae, learn! It’s just that we haven’t progressed there yet! “Even if it’s the same subject, the progress is different!”
“But even so, it’s a famous curse?”
“Ugh?”
Runia flinched.

“It is true that elves have a strong resistance to curses, and they can deal with curses more easily than other races because of the blessing magic in star magic, but curses are one of the demons’ most powerful means of attack. You must not neglect your studies. “Even Luna has suffered from curses more than once.”
“Ugh?”
Runia rolled her eyes here and there at the words she couldn’t bear to refute.
“If it’s the curse of the dead… … “Isn’t this the curse of Hell Kaiser, the Demon King?”
At that time, Eiran asked cautiously.
“that’s right. “You know Eiran well.”
“I know very well that this is a curse that appears in many stories of great heroes.”
Seeing Eiran with an embarrassed expression, Runia became even more intimidated.
“So, what is the curse of the dead? “If it’s a curse related to a corps commander, wouldn’t it be a dangerous curse?”
“The curse of the dead is a dangerous curse that continuously summons undead to the surrounding area.”
“what?”
“The place where the curse is spread literally becomes a land of death.”
Runia’s face turned white as she looked at Eiran, who shrugged his shoulders and looked frightened.
“Then what? Are you saying that Tartarus is now planning to target El Salvecia on a large scale?”
It wasn’t usually dangerous if the undead were summoned endlessly.
“no. Not really. Even if it is the curse of the dead, powerful undead cannot be created unless the Hell Kaiser himself spreads it. “It was probably a curse unleashed by one of Hell Kaiser’s subordinates.”
Leo glared at the forest.
“However, if the Hell Kaiser has moved, it is certain that this forest has something that Tartarus wants.”
“What would a corps commander want?”
“well. chamberlain… … .”
Leo stroked his chin.
“Objects related to great heroes?”
“Are you saying this is an item related to the founder?”
“Then it’s totally awesome!”
“You don’t know that. Anyway, you will find out when you go… … .”
Leo’s complexion suddenly changed.
The two elves, who were looking at Leo with a sudden change in mood, also looked puzzled and trembled.
Whioooooooo-!
A cold snowstorm raged.
Dark red eyes flashed through the snowstorm.
“Hehehe – welcome. “Hero candidates.”
Runia’s face hardened as she looked at the Death Knight, who gave off a fundamentally different energy from the undead she had faced up to this point.
“Death Knight?”
“Yes! My name is Kargor! “I am a proud knight who serves the great King of Death and a messenger who will lead you to death!”
Sigh-!
Gooooooo!
As Kargor plunged his great sword into the ground, the plants in the surrounding area began to turn pitch black.
The energy of death began to flow from the ground.
Green onions! Pabababat-!
Huge numbers of undead began to emerge through the ground.
It wasn’t just the skeleton.
Zombies and ghouls.
Even corpse chimeras.
All kinds of undead appeared.
“Despair! Fall in fear! I will make you regret coming to this forest! Hahahahaha!”
Gwaaaah!
The roar of the undead rang out along with Kargor’s roar.
Kargor looked at Leo with a creepy laugh.
“You won’t be able to escape today.”
“I will deal with that Death Knight. Eiran, you deal with the undead. And Runia memorizes the strongest magic you can use.”
“yes!”
“okay.”
“Hoo? “Have you chosen to fight against me this time?”
“I’ll deal with you.”
“flaw!”
Kargor laughed lowly at Leo’s words.
A dark aura flowed from Kargor’s body as he held the great sword.
Leo lowered his sword and activated Gerdinger’s aura.
Grumble-!
The Phoenix’s flame burned fiercely.
While confronting each other.
Woe!
Leo’s body disappeared as if turned off.
“You’re clumsy!”
Kargor swung his greatsword backwards.
bang-!
The great sword swung at incredible speed was blocked by Leo’s long sword.
Kargor’s eyes twitched.
I expected it to bounce off, but Leo withstood it.
Wow!
As Leo put pressure on his sword, tendons sprouted from his hand.
Leo’s sword pushed away Kargor’s great sword.
As soon as he created a gap, Leo without hesitation went into Kargor’s arms.
“haha! You fool! “Did you think I was an ordinary human knight?”
Seeing Leo like that, Kargor laughed and released a dark aura.
Gooooooo-!
A dark aura attacked Leo.
“Hahaha!”
Woe!
However, his complexion hardened when he saw Leo coming through the dark aura.
As if he had expected it, Leo’s sword, whose entire body was covered in flame aura, sparkled fiercely.
‘Jerdinger’s visionary swordsmanship. Prominence.’
Leo’s sword drew a crimson line and headed towards Kargor.
Kwaang-!
Kargor swung his great sword and barely blocked Leo’s attack.
But the crimson flames that seemed to engulf everything raged wildly.
“You’re not an ordinary kid!”
Leo and Kargor’s capabilities as pure knights were on an equal level.
The factor that determines victory in a fight against such an opponent is experience.
And Kargor was confident that he was ahead of Leo in terms of experience.
I thought it made no sense for a first-year student at a hero academy to overwhelm me with experience as I had been through countless battlefields as a Death Knight.
But that was Kargor’s mistake.
‘You know all my moves!’
Leo’s experience, having crossed countless battlefields, was on a different level from Kargor’s.
Kargor felt goosebumps rising as he looked into Leo’s emotionless eyes.
The flame of the red flame pierced Kargor’s great sword.
Cheeeeeek!
Kargor’s sword began to melt due to the extremely high heat.
Woe!
In an instant, Kargor’s body scattered.
‘Ghostification.’
Kargor, wearing Ghost Painting, one of the Death Knight’s skills, hastily retreated.
‘We’ll have to fight a war of attrition using undead troops!’
Grumble-!
At that moment, a small sun appeared in Cargo’s eyes.
The surrounding snow rapidly melted, accompanied by a blinding bright light.
Runia, who had cast scorching heat, looked at Kargor and shouted.
“Look back! “You boney bastard!”
A huge sphere of flame flew towards Kargor.
The undead caught in the flames oxidized in an instant without leaving even a pile of ashes.
‘There is no place to escape!’
Googoo googung! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Quagga River-!
The flames spread everywhere and flew like crazy.
Leo and Eiran lowered their posture to avoid being caught in the aftermath.
After a while, the flames cleared and the surrounding area was devastated.
“This is what happens if you catch me!”
Runia opened her chest wide and made a triumphant expression.
“W-the forest… … !”
Eiran covered his face and made a white-faced expression.
[Is he an elf? What is so extreme?]
Beep-beep-beep-!
Kiran also stuck out his tongue and Fiora flapped her wings as if she liked it.
Leo muttered as he looked at where Kargor was.
“You’re persistent.”
“what?”
Runia paused.
Gooooo-!
“Uh-huh.”
“What? “You’re not dead?”
Runia loosened her knuckles.
“Then I have no choice but to burn you until you die.”
[No matter how I look at her, I don’t think she’s an elf.]
Kiran whispered.
“Hehe, did you think I could easily destroy Kargor?”
“Do you think you are confident in your tenacity? “Let’s see how long it lasts.”
Kargor, who was laughing while looking at Runia with a warlike smile, said.
“Once this mission is over, I will give you death.”
With those words, Kargor disappeared.
“Smug when the subject is running away.”
Runia snorted and said.
“What are you doing! “Let’s quickly chase after them and put a curse on that damn bone and this forest!”
***
Woe!
Kargor, who left the battle, appeared in front of Lauta, who was drawing a summoning circle.
“Have you taken care of everything?”
“They will be here soon. “Hurry.”
“what?”
Lauta’s face distorted.
“Do not be ridiculous! You incompetent undead! “Can’t you properly handle even first graders?”
“Hehehe. okay. “This is what happened to these first graders.”
Kargor let out a low laugh.
“I’m laughing so hard that I’m so happy!”
“How could you not be happy! I have a chance to eliminate a future hero! “The King of Death will be very happy with this.”
Lauta’s face distorted as he saw Kargor shouting in joy.
“Hero’s… … “Buds?”
“Yeah, when I first saw you, I thought the hero academy was over… … “It wasn’t normal either.”
“Don’t talk nonsense. “I am your master now.”
“You, who are weaker than me, claim to be my master?”
“Because the Demon King you serve decided so!”
Lauta shouted nervously and showed a black ring.
“I could destroy you right now!”
“Uh huh. Try it. “If only I could deal with the three first-year students who are coming now.”
Lauta flinched at Kargor’s ridicule.
“Ugh!”
“Hurry up and complete the summoning circle. “You bastard owner.”
Gritting his teeth, Lauta drew a summoning circle.
‘The moment you obtain the power of the progenitor… … ‘I’ll take care of you first!’
