Episode 223
Despite what he said, Lee Han controlled the flames with as much care as possible.
If the library were to catch fire by mistake, he might have been seriously burned at the stake due to the skeletal nature of the principal.
Whoosh!
Condensed flames appeared throughout the narrow passage.
At best, it was small enough to burn the back of the hand, but considering the destructive power of the fire element, this was enough.
‘Anyway, even if the flames grow, it is difficult to control them.’
Flames flew dizzyingly through the passageway, burning the ghosts running towards them. Each time the flame exploded, the shadow ghosts struggled and rolled around.
As it was an intangible monster and had dark attributes, it was even more vulnerable to fire and light.
Moreover, the flame brought by Lee Han did not disappear even after burning two or three shadow ghosts. It burned continuously, receiving magical power, like a fire that never goes out.
-■■■■! ■■■■!
The shadow ghosts made horrifying noises and tried to somehow break through the narrow passage, but Lee Han continued to move the flames.
No matter how enormous the number of ghosts was, there were limits to breaking through such a narrow passage.
Even more so if the wizard blocking the passage is a wizard who can continuously summon flames without limits to his magical power!
‘I can stop it…’
Kwasik!
As soon as I thought about blocking it, an ominous sound came from behind me.
Perhaps because the shadow ghosts continued to attack, one of the shelves filled with books collapsed, creating a hole through which they could enter.
“Stop it!”
Following Lee Han’s instructions, the students hurriedly fired their magic towards the newly created hole.
“Flame…”
“I got shot…”
Magic missiles flew and sparks flew, creating a unique magical flash.
Although it seemed quite powerful, Lee Han calmly assessed the situation.
‘The hole is bigger than I thought!’
Unlike the narrow passage, the hole created by the collapse of the library was too wide.
The princess was directing her friends and pouring out magic, but the shadow ghosts were already coming in one by one.
Lee Han gritted his teeth and turned his wand.
“Burn up!”
Thanks to Lee Han’s twist of the staff, the momentum of the shadow ghosts rushing from the newly created hole subsided.
It was an unavoidable choice, as if it had been even a little late, it would have been a complete mess.
the problem is…
‘come!’
Meanwhile, the shadow ghosts coming through the narrow passageway had narrowed the distance significantly.
Even if they attack again, they are bound to hit a few of them.
I had already made up my mind. Lee Han prepared for possession by increasing magical power throughout his body.
‘The more horsepower, the stronger the resistance. Even if the shadow ghosts try to possess you, you can shake them off relatively quickly…’
Lee Han believed in the resistance of his magical power.
Since it showed quite strong resistance to spirit-type magic and poison, it was highly likely that it would also show strong resistance to being possessed by such a wraith monster.
Just as Kainando was possessed earlier but somehow managed to escape, Lee Hando…
Boom!
“?”
“??”
-?
There was a strange sound.
It was the sound of the shadow ghost hitting Lee Han with all its might and being thrown away.
It doesn’t just bounce off, it burns like it’s been hit by a fire spell!
Tu-tu-tu-tu-tu-tu-tu-tu-tu-tu-tu-tu-tu!
Not a single shadow wraith came running.
As dozens of them broke through the passage, they accelerated and crashed straight into them.
And then everything bounced off and burned.
“……”
“……”
The Blue Dragon Tower student who was helping Lee Han behind looked at Lee Han with a shocked expression.
What is that…?
Tu-tu-tung! Tu-tu-tu-tu-tu-tung!
As dozens of them were instantly destroyed due to failure of possession, the shadow ghosts behind them seemed to have sensed something strange as well.
I tried to slow down, but the other shadow ghosts behind me wouldn’t wait.
Tu-tu-tu-tu-tu-tu-tu-tu-tu-tu-tu-tu-tu-tung…
“Wraith… Ghost Smasher! “Wraith Smasher!!”
“Don’t give yourself unnecessary nicknames.”
For a person from the empire, a title appropriate for such an achievement was an honorable nickname, but Lee Han did not want to be called a ghost-smasher by his friends.
Especially if all they did was just ignorantly sweep away the ghosts like this!
Lee Han waved his cane and pushed towards the station. Since I realized that the shadow ghosts could not possess me, there was no need to be afraid.
The shadow ghosts that had been crowded into the narrow passage literally burst out in droves.
“I’m here to help!”
“what? “Did you block all the passages?!”
The students who were blocking the hole in the collapsed library were surprised when Lee Han and his friends from the aisle returned.

“It’s a long story!”
“Wardanaz! let’s go!”
“????”
The students were surprised when Lee Han and his friends, instead of using magic, rushed towards the hole where the shadow ghosts were crowded together.
“What are you doing now…”
Tu-tu-tu-tu-tu-tu-tu-tu-tu-tu-tu-tu-tu-tu!
“…Three, oh my god.”
“What is that…?”
“I created a title after seeing that! It’s a ghost crusher! Are you fine?”
“Wraith Crusher… Oh…”
Asan thought that seemed like a good nickname.
A nickname like that would suit Wardanaz, who is fighting honorably over there right now…
‘If I ever need to introduce Wardanaz in the future, I’ll add it.’
“Stop talking nonsense and just provide magic support!”
The princess, who had been nodding her head in response to Lee Han’s shouting and sympathizing with the title, was startled.
In fact, not only the princess but also other students were showing similar reactions.
“But did you ask Lee Han? “Do you like Lee Han?”
“Of course you will like it. “It’s a title given by honorable friends to praise one’s achievements.”
“I don’t think Wraith Smasher is that good…”
As Gaynando muttered, Yoner next to him was slightly impressed.
Does Guynando have that kind of tact?
“I think it would be better to say something as long as ‘A great, dignified, noble lineage, archenemy of ghosts…’”
“oh. “It’s pretty good, isn’t it?”
“……”
Yoner shook his head.
* * *
“Pile up, dirt!”
“Be as hard as a rock!”
Salchow set up a barricade at the front with his gang of students.
A pounding sound could be heard outside the barricade made of dirt and stones. It seemed like there were quite a few ghosts gathered around.
“One comes in from the side!”
Whoosh!
Nilia pierced the shadow wraith that tried to come in next to her with an arrow.
Such accurate shooting in a chaotic situation was a feat worthy of praise, but Nilia’s expression was not bright.
The same was true for other Black Turtle Tower students.
“The numbers… don’t seem to be decreasing?”
“It’s a big deal.”
Lee Han was confident that he would catch everything as long as there were no variables, so he camped out in the passage, but the Black Turtle Tower students did not do such a reckless thing.
Instead, they started to hold on by putting up barricades throughout the passage.
It would have been a pretty good choice if the number of shadow wraiths hadn’t increased beyond a certain level…
Unfortunately, things didn’t go that way.
The lights on the ceiling are not getting brighter, but the number of shadow ghosts is only increasing.
“I think other places would be in chaos too…”
Nilia trailed off, lost in thought.
What if the Blue Dragon Tower students are possessed by a shadow wraith and come here?
‘…I think it would be really scary if Wardanaz gets possessed…’
“Wodanazda!”
“No, no!”
“??”
Ratford, who was next to him, looked at Nilia as if it was strange.
“What’s not working?”
“Oh… it’s nothing.”
Nilia hurriedly ran towards the barricade.
Fortunately, Lee Han was not possessed by the shadow ghost. He had a very normal expression.
“Relief… ???”
“??????”
Tu-tu-tu-tu-tu-tu-tu-tu-tu-tu-tu-tu-tu!
The Blue Dragon Tower students were running towards Lee Han, with him like a battering ram.
Every time the many shadow ghosts collided with Lee Han, they burst out screaming.
“……”
The Black Turtle Tower students were so shocked that they were speechless.
The Blue Dragon Tower students, who swept away the shadow ghosts by circling a few times, shouted with dignity.
“I count it as a thank you.”
In fact, they came to prevent other tower students from being possessed and causing trouble, but even taking that into account, the Blue Dragon Tower students considered themselves very honorable.
Because I was here to help!
“But why aren’t those kids saying anything?”
“I know?”
The Blue Dragon Tower students hesitated, waiting for an answer, and when no response came, they grunted and left.
You don’t even know how to say thank you!
However, the Black Turtle Tower students did not stay silent because they were ungrateful.
Only after leaving did one of the students speak up.
“Room… What on earth just happened????”
* * *
The Phoenix Tower priests also reacted similarly.
However, the entrance passage was burning brightly.
Lee Han cast a minor fire resistance spell and then swept away the shadow wraith.
Priest Nigisor of the Afha Church was delighted and expressed his gratitude.
“Thank you. Lee Han of the Wardanaz family.”
“I’m glad it wasn’t too late.”
The students at the Tower of the Phoenix were actually in the best situation.
Because the wall did not collapse like the Blue Dragon Tower to create a new entryway, or because shadow ghosts piled up like the Black Turtle Tower.
From the looks of it, the fire magic performed by Priest Nigisor was quite helpful.
Lee Han asked, puzzled.
“Did they use wide-area flame magic on the entire passage? “How did you not burn the library?”
Lee Han wondered if it was the vision of the Apha Church.
Since this is a church that specializes in fire, there might be a way to cast wide-area magic around here without burning the passage.
‘If that’s the case, I definitely want to learn.’
Priest Nigisor tilted his head, not understanding what Lee Han said.
“Did you just scream?”
“…ah. “I see.”
Lee Han took a slight step back.
I wondered if that was what real madness was.
Enjoy a wide range of activities at the library without thinking about anything else…!
“Wardanaz. “Let’s go save the White Tiger Tower guys.”
‘That’s annoying.’
I did step forward as it became annoying when other guys attacked me, but after going around a few times, I started to get tired.
Priest Nigisor said with admiration.
“You are really doing a good job. Lee Han of the Wardanaz family. “If it’s okay, I can help you…”
“…no. “You can’t rely on someone else to do something honorable.”
Lee Han felt tempted for a moment, but held back.
…I was lucky this time, but there’s no way it won’t turn into a sea of fire next time!
* * *
The skeleton principal smiled in satisfaction as he watched the students walking out of the library with somewhat frazzled and tired expressions.
You must have studied hard.
The students ignored it.
It wasn’t that I didn’t want to please the skeleton principal, it was that I was too tired to respond.
The skeleton principal, who was grumpy at being ignored, found Lee Han and flew away.
He was a very unique student who felt like I wanted to praise him for his excellent skills in clearing the dungeon and at the same time wanted to scold him for making the dungeon clearing boring.
Did you study hard?
“yes. Thanks to.”
You are really… a guy who pretends not to be like that but secretly has a strong desire to win. Catch Rock Drake. Other professors were also surprised.
“…yes?”
Lee Han paused.
Aside from the misunderstanding that he ‘caught it’, the fact that the skeleton principal was watching surprised Lee Han.
Actually, it wasn’t that surprising.
It was a known fact that the skeleton principal’s eyes were everywhere in the school, and with the skeleton principal’s personality, there was no way he wouldn’t have seen the funny sights.
but…
“Other… professors?”
okay. But honestly, wasn’t it bothersome during this expedition? Next time, how about going in alone and fighting?
Ignoring the skeleton principal who was quietly babbling nonsense, Lee Han suppressed the rising fear and asked.
“Which professors did you have?”
well. So many people came and went… and I’m not the type of person to remember them all.
“Was Professor Bagrek also there?”
There was bagleg. I remember him because he had a knack for breaking my mood.
Lee Han’s face was distorted with sadness and pain.
