Episode 324
“Your senior told you to do it, right?”
“If that’s what you’re told to do… no. done. Junior. Be quiet and focus on control. “It would already be difficult right now.”
Delet was right.
Unlike the stable water beads, the dark beads were quite unstable and fluctuated.
I had a feeling that if I made a mistake at any time, it would lose its shape and scatter in all directions.
“In this state… it would be impossible to launch it, and if I were to use it, would it be limited to close combat? Junior. Are you good at fighting?”
Gainando and Ymirg chuckled at the sudden question.
“I only learned it for self-defense.”
“Well, since they come from a noble family, they probably didn’t learn swordsmanship.”
Again, the two friends chuckled at the same time.
“Wizards don’t necessarily have to be good at fighting, but sometimes they have to engage in close combat. In such cases, magic like this is more useful than you think. Junior. “It would be more stable if it was handled with enchantment, but we can’t hope for that right now.”
“If that’s the case, wouldn’t the fire element be better?”
“There are many enemies that can withstand the fire element better than you think.”
Starting with monsters that are resistant to fire, seasoned adventurers usually have at least one or two means of defense against fire.
It was an element that was easy to encounter in real life.
“indeed…”
“Junior. How long are you maintaining the dark element… Release it quickly.”
Lee Han, who was impressed, came to his senses after Direth’s point and released the dark element.
“Going back to what I was talking about earlier, when a problem arises due to failure to prevent it in advance, it is good to use a conflicting item, but if you know how to use the dark element, something like this is also possible.”
Delet looked around at the remains left over from Lee Han’s explosion of the dark element earlier and grabbed his staff.
“Darkness. Gather at this end.”
A type of magic that does not summon water or fire elements, but rather controls existing water or fire.
“Are you collecting all the dark elements around you?”
“You got it right. It creates a kind of vacuum. “If a wizard seizes the dark element first, the undead and related beings become quite vulnerable.”
The undead were beings with extreme strengths and weaknesses.
When dealing with such beings, it was more effective to stab their weak points rather than hit them with force.
If I had known this method when dealing with the King of Ghouls, it would have been much more effective than turning the cave into a sea of fire.
‘After all, knowledge is power.’
“Isn’t this interesting, Gainando?”
“uh? Huh? “Uh-huh.”
Gainando, who was yawning and dozing next to him, was surprised and answered Lee Han’s question.
I wasn’t really interested in the dark element or anything.
“…this bastard…”
“calm down. Junior. Because it’s something you don’t need to learn now. “Studying other things can only complicate your mind.”
When Lee Han tried to raise his cane, Direth stopped him. Gai Nando was deeply moved.
‘Sun, senior…!’
“I. Wizards??”
The captured adventurers holding shovels spoke cautiously.
Lee Han answered in a sour voice.
“ah. “You said you would send it to me today.”
“Well, that’s not it… I keep hearing strange noises inside the tower…”
“!!!”
* * *
The cemetery on the outskirts of Grande City had more than just graves.
In addition to the wall surrounding the tomb, there were several small towers inside.
It was used as a resting place for gravediggers, where they placed equipment, or as a central core when warlocks cast large-scale magic on the graveyard.
Of course, the body was not stored inside.
‘then…’
“Did you make sure you checked your magic power?”
Delet threw away the face of a senior who taught juniors, and returned as a warlock in charge of managing the cemetery.
Lee Han took out the paper he wrote on, checked it, and answered.
“yes. “The towers that said they heard the sound were Tower 1 or Tower 2, and both had normal horsepower.”
“What if a monster hiding among the luggage comes in while the luggage is being moved?”
“To prepare for that, we dismantled and dispersed the luggage that was blocking the view. “I confirmed it by casting spatial awareness magic and dark vision magic, and closed the window after finishing it, so I think that’s unlikely.”
“……”
He tried to concentrate seriously, but Direth found it difficult to resist the feeling of pride that came over him again.
Among other schools that boast of having many new students, there will be no juniors like that.
To be honest, I wanted to take him out and show off.
‘ah. But that junior is also listening to other schools…’
Delet realized the reality late and felt bitter.
“senior?”
“Those adventurers must have misheard.”
“Oh, no! “We all heard it right!”
“Or they came in from outside.”
“Is that possible?”
Lee Han was puzzled.
You wouldn’t know it was a monster hiding among the luggage, but it was a monster that invaded from outside.

Even though this place was remote, it was definitely inside the city. If a monster roamed the main street, there was a high possibility that it would be slaughtered in less than thirty minutes.
“I wonder that too. Junior.”
“Didn’t they hear it wrong?”
“Isn’t this something like this?”
Ymirg raised his hand and said.
“Well, sometimes the soil underground also moves. Because there are corpses in the basement here. “If the underground soil moves and is pushed out of the cemetery…”
“!”
If the underground soil was pushed out and the corpse’s position moved, and if unlucky magical power pooled around it, undead could be created outside the cemetery instead of inside.
“Is that plausible?”
“good job. Junior.”
“Thank you, thank you.”
Ymirg blushed at Ihan and Direth’s praise.
However, Gainando glared at Ymirg.
“Why why?”
“…From now on, you will be my rival.”
“……”
For Guynando, who had already defeated Rafad El (at least he thought so) and had decided to exclude Lee Han, Imirg’s performance was something that could never be ignored.
“joy. “Let’s compete to see who is truly number one in black magic.”
“Well, that’s just Wardanaz…”
“The search begins. Undead, show yourself!”
Along with the spell, waves spread out from Direth’s staff.
And there was a flash and a crashing sound from the upper floor of Tower 2.
“!!”
“Over there! let’s go!”
“Please wait a moment! “You should prepare your defenses just in case.”
Delet paused at Lee Han’s words.
‘What kind of defensive magic are you going to use?’
Even if it was the same defensive magic, it would have been better for Direth, a fourth-year student, to use it, but the opponent was no ordinary junior.
Delet was honestly curious about what kind of defensive magic Lee Han would use.
This time, we will show you magic that exceeds expectations…
“hey! Adventurers! Take the lead!”
“……”
“Why are you doing that?”
“Nothing.”
* * *
Lee Han, Delet, and the adventurers go up to the tower.
Ymirg and Gainando are outside the tower.
Lee Han asked as he quickly ran up the stairs.
“He will know that his location has been discovered, so won’t he run away?”
“That is unlikely. Junior. Even though he woke up outside the cemetery, he came inside on purpose to increase his power. “He is combative and fearless.”
“indeed.”
I was able to roughly understand the characteristics of the undead just by its reaction when it woke up.
If you tried to quickly move away from the summoned location, you were cautious and timid, and if you tried to take a position instead of moving away, it was the opposite.
In this case, there was a high possibility that he was a warlike and greedy bastard as he was trying to increase his power by absorbing the magic flowing through the cemetery.
-■■■■■!!
“Aaaah!”
“appear!!!”
The adventurers climbing up ahead screamed.
A huge undead tumbled down from the upper stairs. Direth saw that and let out a groan.
“Damn it… it’s an undead chimera.”
The result of strong negative magic combining with torn and crushed corpses instead of combining with a single corpse.
As the personalities of various entities were mixed, it was difficult for wizards to predict and difficult to deal with.
Direth immediately prepared a weakening spell on the undead chimera.
“Decline…”
bang!
An explosion occurred inside the undead chimera’s body, and about a quarter of it flew away.
The undead chimera, which gained momentum from the explosion, collided with the wall of the tower instead of crushing the adventurers at once. A weakened section of the wall collapsed, creating a hole.
“?!?!”
Lee Han and Direth were taken aback when the vicious bastard escaped through the tower wall, even sacrificing part of his body.
We haven’t even fought yet, so why are you suddenly running away?!
“…senior. “Can you please listen without getting angry?”
“Why am I angry at you, junior? It’s okay to just say it! What?”
“I think he probably ran away after seeing me…”
“……”
For a moment, Delet almost got angry and asked if he was joking.
The adventurers standing in front muttered without realizing it.
“Yes, indeed.”
“What is this!”
“S-sorry!”
“Among the undead, there is one who has excellent magic detection abilities. “It seems like it sensed my magic and ran away.”
“…!”
Only then did Delet understand Lee Han’s words.
If he is not just a vicious and warlike guy, but someone who has the ability to detect magical power and is intelligent enough to understand it and retreat…
“Things are going to get messy. Junior.”
-That thing is running away!! That thing is running away!! Hey you bastard! You can’t stand there! Shoot, bones! Imirg! Throw something! Throw a rock!
-Well, if you throw it wrong, people will get hurt…!
* * *
Delet and Lee Han, who came down from the tower, immediately started tracking.
“Contact the city guard to report that an undead chimera appears. Let’s pursue it on our own. Junior.”
“All right.”
“Thank you, wizard!” The gravediggers bowed their heads in gratitude.
Originally, this was the responsibility of the gravediggers.
You should always check carefully to prevent undead from occurring.
Of course, the gravediggers were also treated unfairly.
Who would have known that the undead would be summoned from outside the cemetery due to the soil moving underground.
But even so, it is true that if a problem occurs and the damage increases, you must take responsibility.
But when the warlocks came forward to help, I couldn’t help but be thankful.
“There is no need to thank everyone. “Because this is what warlocks should do.”
“Wow, indeed…”
When it seemed like the senior was going to suffer a loss due to his lack of integrity, Lee Han firmly intervened.
“But I think everyone should know who solved this. “Report the facts to the city guard and tell them that they should be treated with the respect they deserve.”
“All right!”
Delet looked at his junior in bewilderment.
What are you talking about when you’re in a hurry?
“senior. No matter how urgent it is, the necessary information must be conveyed.”
“No… is that necessary…? “Let’s get going!”
Delet traced the magical power left behind by the undead chimera.
The guy who came out of the cemetery was avoiding the main street and running down an alley.
“If you can feel magic and know how to avoid people, then you will instinctively know that you should avoid people. “It’s a pain in the ass if you hide.”
“I’m sure you can catch it.”
“That would be great. In the city, it’s hard to track if you’re even a little late… Oops. this.”
Delet clicked his tongue.
I managed to get out of the alley, but the place he ended up going into was the guild warehouse site.
“Why are you doing this? “Let’s talk about the situation and go in.”
“It’s going to be hard. Junior.”
The guild was stubborn in this regard.
If an outsider is brought in and there is a problem with the materials or if confidential information is leaked, that is a bigger problem.
Even if the undead chimera escaped and entered, there was a high possibility that they would insist on catching it among themselves.
“Still, let me at least say something.”
“okay. Give it a try. Instead, don’t cling too much. anyway…”
After a while, Lee Han came back.
“It’s okay. “Let’s go in.”
“?!?!”
