Episode 312
While Vizidek was thinking that, a trap appeared. After discovering the engine equipment buried in the ground, Busidek carefully inserted the lockpick.
Sweet!
With the sound of the device being released, Busidek slowly pulled out the pressure plate.
“I was lucky.”
“Luck. “It was a skill.”
Lee Han praised Vizi Deck’s skills and received a pressure plate. There were letters with a unique pattern engraved on them.
“What pressure plate has this pattern?”
“I don’t know what the old guys were thinking.”
Lee Han said as if he was dumbfounded by the words of his White Tiger Tower friends.
“This is the letters of the old Western Harin Kingdom.”
It was a kingdom in the distant past, and it was a kingdom that produced many golden artifacts at the time.
It wasn’t that difficult to read, as Lee Han-in always studied if he thought it would make money when he was in the Wardanaz family.
“…So, they said they didn’t know why the letters were engraved on the pressure plate. Anyway, the Seoharin bastards.”
“I wonder what the Western Harin Kingdom were thinking. “In a cave like this!”
Rafael and Angago quickly turned their horses around.
Lee Han and Dergyu tried not to look pitiful at their two friends.
“What does it say, Lee Han?”
“They say there will be death for anyone who touches the treasure.”
“!!!!”
Durgyu was truly surprised.
And then he whispered.
“Isn’t this really a treasure?”
“Huh… Durgyu.”
Dergyu became embarrassed by Lee Han’s reaction.
“I’m sorry. “I was so excited.”
“If you were to start a business, which location in Grandeur City do you think would be best?”
“…….”
* * *
Lee Han quickly came to his senses and stood up.
I couldn’t let my imagination run wild with a treasure I hadn’t even gotten my hands on yet.
“Go forward again!”
‘There are no gaps. Disgusting wizard.’
Buldahak rolled his head and took a step forward.
Originally, he would have found an opening to counterattack or escape somehow, but the wizard was extremely thorough.
There were bone restraints on the wrists and ankles, as well as bone hands around the neck that could be strangled at any time…
-Do you want power?
“?!”
-Don’t show it. If you get caught, you’ll die right away. He asked me if I wanted power.
‘Want… I want.’
-At any cost?
‘…yes…’
Buldahak whispered without realizing it.
The voice coming from somewhere contained a strong, irresistible power of temptation.
-good night. I will give you strength! Your opportunity will come soon, so take it.
‘Gam, thank you!’
Buddha Dahak was deeply grateful to the person in the cave whom he did not know who he was.
If I were the usual cunning Buddhist scholar, I might have been suspicious when I received this suggestion.
However, the current situation of Buddhism cannot be questioned.
If I received poison, I had to swallow it.
‘What opportunity is coming? What chance?’
Buldahak waited patiently.
And that opportunity came soon.
-■■■■■■■!
A huge fleshy ghoul, whose size was different from any ghoul that had appeared so far, appeared.
Sharkan barked sharply. He tried to slow him down by chopping off its ankles, but the fleshy ghoul reacted much faster than that.
Thump thump thump thump!
Before the mercenaries at the front could scream, Lee Han reacted first.
It was the fastest response on the spot.
“Dig it out.”
First, a large pit appeared in front of the path where the fleshy ghoul was running. The fleshy ghoul was unable to overcome its speed and fell into a pit, lost its balance and fell.
“Ten. Distort the air.”
At the same time, Lee Han continued to cast spells. An illusion appeared before the mercenaries. The mercenaries were surprised when an illusion resembling them appeared.
“Rise, warriors of bone.”
It wasn’t perfect yet, but it didn’t matter. When the bone fragments were thrown, skeleton warriors appeared.
They were the ones who would distract the fleshy ghouls.
“Give me the bow.”
“uh?”

Lee Han snatched the shortbow that Angago was wearing.
And then he casted a continuous enchantment.
“Be quick! Get heavy! Be sharp…”
When you have to deal with tough monsters.
And when there is no time to prepare.
There was no need to raise lightning magic or water magic to a higher level.
As I learned from Vaishada, the hunter in <Shadow Patrol>, just enough firepower to penetrate the enemy was enough.
‘Thank you. Mr. Vaishada.’
Of course, Vaishada never told Lee Han to stack enchantment and shoot like that. Lee Han did it on his own.
Lee Han gave up on aim-related enchantments and focused on power-related enchantments. The magic was so strong that it could be used on bows and arrows.
‘The distance is close anyway. ‘If this is enough…’
They were low-level circle magic such as <Increased low-level speed>, <Increased low-level weight>, and <Enhanced low-level penetration>, but when Lee Han’s high magic power quickly stacked them, they turned into a bloody weapon that vibrated the surrounding air and spewed out magical power.
-■!
The fleshy ghoul stood up in anger. The guy paused at the sight of the illusions and skeleton warriors spread out in the vast space of the cave. It was because I didn’t know which one to destroy first.
At that moment, an arrow flew through the air.
puck!
The arrow did not penetrate the vital area, but completely blew away the area around the vital area. The fleshy ghoul, whose head had been blown off, fell to his knees.
Lee Han breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was just in time.
“Gotcha.”
“Uh… uhhh…!!”
Not only the mercenaries but also the White Tiger Tower students reacted in bewilderment.
I didn’t know that that big guy would fall down in one hit.
Anrago, the owner of the shortbow, pointed alternately between the bow and the arrow.
“you you! you you!”
“Did you use the bow well?”
“you!!”
“I’m sorry I borrowed it in a hurry, but you know it was an unavoidable situation.”
“That’s not it! How on earth does this have such power…”
Anrago was well aware of the limitations of the shortbow he used.
It was a weapon that was only meant to keep in check as it didn’t do much damage to medium-sized monsters or larger…
“after. Angago.”
Lee Han looked at Angago as if he was frustrated. Angago winced, wondering if he had done something wrong. I felt like a student standing in front of a professor.
“It’s an enchantment.”
“…You crazy bastard! “I know that too!!”
Anrago failed to control his emotions for a moment and burst into tears.
How do you measure someone’s intelligence?
“How can such power be achieved with just one enchantment?”
“I quickly walked several of them and overlapped them.”
“So how?”
“uh…”
At Angago’s question, Lee Han was speechless for the first time in a long time.
Really, there was nothing left to say except ‘just’.
Cast one spell, cast the next spell while maintaining balance so as not to disturb the previous spell, and then cast the next spell like that…
All I had to do was cast the magic as much as possible.
“…done…”
Angago looked at Lee Han’s expression and bitterly took the shortbow.
Even if I heard the answer, it seemed like it would only be sad.
While the two were talking like that, Budhak was talking to the voice in the cave.
-What a fool. A guy like you would take my power. He’s a bastard who doesn’t deserve it. I can’t believe I just missed the same opportunity.
-Don’t be damned! Even though you didn’t even give me a proper chance!
-dare?
-How dare you. If the monster you just sent was from you, then your abilities are worse than a single arrow! What chance do you have when you send a monster that is defeated not by a wizard’s magic but by an arrow?
Buldahak, overcome by evil, growled.
If they sent you an opportunity, you should have at least given them a chance to escape. What kind of opportunity is that when you are caught like an asshole all at once?
-You don’t understand the topic. A man who could not even be used as material showed his mercy…
At that moment, the voice in the cave cut off.
“for a moment.”
Lee Han raised his hand and stopped the group.
“I just felt the flow of magical energy?”
“……”
“I didn’t use any magic.”
“me too.”
“Don’t you feel wrong, Lee Han?”
Durgyu wondered.
Among the mercenaries or adventurers, there was no one who could use magic.
Moreover, none of the White Tiger Tower students could feel the flow of magic power, so it was natural to think that it was an illusion.
But Lee Han did not waver.
What I learned at Einrogard was the belief in trusting one’s own senses.
‘After knocking on the stone bridge, check if the skeleton principal is around, then turn around and take the other path.’
“I definitely felt it.”
An artificial flow of magical power flowing through the cave.
It was absolutely a natural flow.
“Who are you? “Come out.”
The White Tiger Tower students immediately drew their weapons. The two adventurers also drew their weapons. As the air became cold, the mercenaries cried out in horror.
“no! No, wizard! “What can we do?”
“Didn’t you use a magic item?”
“If you had something like that, would you exchange it for gold coins and carry it around?”
“quietly. “If you don’t come out, we will interrogate you one by one.”
Lee Han looked around at the mercenaries.
And they called out the most guilty first.
Quad Deuk!
“Say it. “What did you do?”
“Ugh, wow. nothing.”
“…?”
Lee Han, who had been interrogating Buddhist monks without much thought, was surprised.
<Recognition of Emotions> The emotions of Buddhism revealed by magic were hiding something.
‘what. ‘What were you really doing?’
Lee Han raised his guard.
Even if you can’t use magic, you can create as many variables as you want by activating artifacts or spell books in your arms.
There wasn’t a body search, but there’s no such thing as what if in life.
“If you’re not going to tell me, then die.”
Lee Han increased the strength of his bony hands. Overwhelmed by that cold voice, Buldahak finally opened his mouth.
“voice…! voice! voice is!”
“What voice?”
“A voice came from inside the cave…! “Make me an offer!”
He seems like a guy who can’t even play his puppet role properly.
An eerie voice was heard from deep in the cave, and an extremely strong negative magic began to rush in.
The mercenaries felt their entire body losing strength and their will disappearing. Even the White Tiger Tower students, who were wizards and had resistance, were brought to their knees.
Lee Han paid no heed and immediately began preparing magic in a low voice.
“Push away, Perkuntra’s…”
Instead of lightning being fired immediately, condensed lightning was discharged to the surroundings and created sparks.
“Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk! no! no!!!”
When the wave of magic ended, Buldahak screamed. His eyes rolled over and his entire body changed color.
Lee Han and Rafael, who are experts in black magic, immediately noticed the phenomenon.
‘Possession!’
A phenomenon in which an evil being without a body takes over the body.
But it was impossible to take it away like this without any warning or contract.
‘That’s the conversation we just had!’
Lee Han realized the situation.
I wondered why I could feel the flow of magical power, but it was clear that an evil entity in the cave had sensed the presence of Buddhist Dahak and tempted it.
Unlike the wizards of Einroguard, who thoroughly learned about contracts, the mercenary Buldahak had no idea how dangerous such a temptation could be.
If their personalities were on the same wavelength and Buddhism even accepted it…
It would be quite possible to steal the body like that.
Buddha Dahak’s eyes became strangely colored, and a deep, evil voice that cannot be produced by a human came out.
I am the king of ghouls…
“…Thunderbolt!”
Lee Han struck the lightning with all his might.
And even then it didn’t stop.
“Burn up!”
Ten flames were created in the air and flew fiercely.
Buddha Dahak’s body, which was rapidly being destroyed by lightning that the human body could not withstand, burst into flames once again and was completely combusted.
“…???”
“It’s over, is it over?”
