Episode 509
It felt like the distance from Delet had grown further. Lee Han called his senior once again.
“Seniors?”
“I didn’t know you could practice bone explosion magic…”
Warlocks who specialized in the bone element demonstrated persistent power in many-to-many battles.
Not only strengthening various undead, but also direct attack and defense.
Especially when it comes to bone explosions, he has now become the warlock that enemies try to suppress first.
Once properly exploded, its destructive power was truly enormous.
But if there are advantages, there are also disadvantages.
Even excluding the enormous magical power consumption, bone explosion magic was a magic that was difficult to use.
If you cast it incorrectly at close range, the warlock could be defeated, but if you try to cast it from as far away as possible, the difficulty increases exponentially.
As the distance increases, the wizard’s interference ability decreases.
The best way was to cause a bone explosion against the summons from the undead world, but the summons did not like this type of self-destruction very much.
However, this junior solved such limitations with ancient necromancy and an enormous amount of magical power.
The way he protected himself with a water shield and mercilessly exploded the undead was a sight that even experienced warlocks would find difficult to imitate.
…But do I really have to do this in my first year???
“ah. Professor Mortum told me to practice bone explosion.”
“Um… So I didn’t tell you to practice bone explosions… That’s not it.”
Delet was about to say, ‘Practicing bone explosions usually means doing it carefully in the workshop, not practicing it in a dungeon,’ but held back for the sake of his junior.
“Bone explosion is the magic that causes the most accidents, and since you use it in combination with the dark element, you have to be even more careful.”
“yes. “I will always have at least one shield, and I will use it to keep the distance as much as possible so that only the summons self-destruct.”
The fact that Direth’s undead summons trembled with fear felt like a connection. Delet appeased the undead summons.
-Rest assured, I have no intention of self-destructing like that.
“So, you want to combine it with the poison element?”
“yes.”
In fact, it was a unique case to combine it with a rare and difficult to handle dark element, but originally, it was common to combine bone elements with other elements.
The representative element among them is the poison element.
The power of the bone element combined with various poisons boasted bloody power.
“It’s the standard method. “The number of poisons you can use right now may be limited, but there is no harm in practicing in advance.”
Delet forgot what he had just thought and naturally started talking about magic again.
“Instead, if you want to use the poison element, there are a few things to keep in mind. The power of the bone explosion magic must be greatly reduced… Try reducing it. no. It needs to be reduced further. again! No, why can’t we reduce its power? “That’s the easiest thing!”
* * *
Direth, who wiped out Professor Verdus’ wooden dungeon with his junior, returned to the Darkness Hall.
Professor Mortum, who finished the lecture first, was putting together the parts of the flesh golem and asked a question when Direth returned.
“Kollock. You came back later than expected. Was there any problem in the Vampire Weasel Dungeon?”
“ah. no. “I went to the wooden dungeon and practiced necromantic magic combined with the dark element.”
“…?”
Professor Mortum thought for a while and asked as if he didn’t understand.
“Kolok, I just told you to make a curse doll, but was there a need to teach it so harshly? Did Wardanaz displease you?”
“yes? no! “What… huh?”
Delet was surprised and tried to deny it, but when he thought about it, it was definitely strange.
uh…
what??
‘Why did I do that??’
* * *
Gainando was excited to see Lee Han in a good mood for the first time in a long time.
Usually, with a tired face, he muttered, ‘I wish Einroguard and the professors would hug each other and disappear into that lake,’ which surprised Gainando, but today he was stirring the ladle in the pot with a bright face.
“Is something happening today?”
“ah. Cainan Island. “I succeeded in controlling several undead.”
“……”
Gainando frowned and looked at Lee Han.
That’s why I didn’t know I would like it that much.
“Manipulating the undead shouldn’t be such a joy…”
“Gainando. “Don’t you know what it means for a warlock to be able to control multiple undead?”
Unlike other wizards who always had to carry a vanguard with them to protect them, warlocks who were skilled at summoning the undead had no problems traveling alone.
That means that even if you receive a request, you can travel alone without having to share the reward with other adventurers.
“Huh… but it’s lonely.”
“Gainando. “Magic is inherently lonely.”
“And the professor said that if a warlock takes several undead by himself, he will be reported.”
“……”
When Gainando poked the painful spot, Lee Han paused.
It was a somewhat plausible point.
‘I guess I’ll have to go into the dungeon outside and summon it.’
Even if you summoned an undead and took it with you within Einroguard, you would get a reaction like, ‘You must be a student of the Black Magic School,’ but if you did that outside, you would say, ‘Aaaah! guard! There was a high possibility that a reaction like ‘Security!!’ would come out.
“Then will you give me one chocolate?”
“no. “Don’t fill your stomach with snacks before eating.”
Lee Han flatly refused. Guyando grumbled and went to the table and sat down.
Students were already gathered near the long wooden table in front of the Phoenix Tower.

Not only the Phoenix Tower priests, but also the Blue Dragon Tower friends, and a few students from the Black Turtle Tower and the White Tiger Tower…?
“Why are you here?”
Lee Han asked in confusion.
They said they only ate together during the flood, but why did the flood end?
“after. Wodanaz.”
“?”
A White Tiger Tower student approached with a frown.
And he gave Lee Han a piece of rare Gwangryeong ink as a bribe.
“I’m counting on you.”
“…Yeah, yeah.”
The White Tiger Tower students narrowed their eyes and sat in their seats. Lee Han was dumbfounded as he put the bribe he received into his pocket.
‘What are they doing?’
“Wardanaz. Please take care of us too.”
“no. You can eat at your tower. “Today’s meal isn’t particularly special.”
“It doesn’t taste good…”
“……”
The voices of the Black Turtle Tower students were full of sincerity.
So much so that even the cold-hearted Lee Han is overwhelmed.
“Well…yeah. “Sit down.”
What I said earlier wasn’t empty. Dinner tonight was prepared quite simply.
It was a stew made with roughly cut up leftover vegetables and chicken, buttered toast, skewers of bird meat caught by the priests, and rice balls…
Slurp salty!
“hey. “Someone go to the White Tiger Tower and put on my shoes.”
“I’ll do it and come back.”
The Blue Dragon Tower students were astonished to see the White Tiger Tower students acting like they were possessed.
Regardless, Lee Han focused on eating. There was still a lot to do after dinner today.
“Wardanaz. Wodanaz.”
“uh. “Nilia.”
Lee Han turned his attention to Nilia’s call.
Nilia, who had been eating grilled bird meat on a skewer in her hand just a moment ago, was removing the meat and eating it with a knife and fork.
“Why don’t you eat with your hands?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about? “I used to eat like this?”
Looking to the side, I saw that all the Blue Dragon Tower students were using knives and forks.
“Just with your hands…”
“That’s not important now. “Did you hear the rumor?”
“What rumor?”
“The professor is preparing a portal. “So that I can contract with a stronger summon than last time.”
“!”
It was a welcome rumor.
Even if only the most talented people in the empire were gathered, the students who were still in their first year had many shortcomings.
The best way to make up for the shortcomings of such students was to be a summons.
“Good. “If only I could contract with a stronger undead…”
“uh? No… it was a story about a spirit…”
Nilia said hesitantly.
It was a rumor that Professor Millais was preparing to find and connect a new spirit world for first-year students taking summoning magic, but the undead world had never been heard of.
“They say you won’t open the undead world?”
“I think I only heard about spirits.”
Nilia glanced at Lee Han slightly.
“I guess you will open the undead world as well. “You opened it last time.”
“That… right! of course!”
Nilia agreed with Lee Han’s words and prayed earnestly in her heart.
I hope Professor Millais prepares the undead world as well!
* * *
“I recently found a good spirit world that I can contact. “After checking, it turned out that students could move around safely.”
Professor Millais said while looking around at the students with an upright posture that did not waver.
Lee Han raised his hand and asked.
“professor. I have a question.”
“What question?”
“Could it be the undead lineage…?”
“There is no undead world this time.”
“……”
Lee Han’s expression was dejected. Nilia, who was next to her, fidgeted and whispered.
“You don’t necessarily have to make a contract with the undead, right? “You can even make a contract with a spirit!”
“Yeah, well… I might find a treasure trove piled up like a mountain of gold along the way and become the richest man in the empire.”
“……”
While Nilia was speechless, Professor Millay looked at Lee Han and said.
“Student Lee Han. It is a prejudice to hastily conclude that you cannot make a contract with a spirit. Of course, spirits generally have the habit of avoiding beings with a lot of magical power, but there are also spirits with unique characteristics.”
Lee Han, slightly refreshed by the professor’s words, asked again.
“Then, if I don’t give up and keep searching the spirit world, will I be able to find a good spirit?”
“Sometimes giving up is important. Student Lee Han. Even if you can’t find it, you have to know how to give up.”
“……”
“……”
Professor Millay’s honest truth made Lee Han look at Nilia again. Neilia quickly put her head down on her desk and pretended to read her book.
“The spirits that can be found in the spirit world are as follows…”
* * *
After completing preparations, the students passed through the magic circle to the spirit world one by one, and Lee Han’s turn finally came.
Nilia, who was behind her, asked cautiously.
“Shall we go in together?”
“it’s okay. “If I go with you for no reason, I won’t be able to meet you either.”
“……”
Nilia was actually worried about that too, so she couldn’t refute it right away.
‘I was secretly worried that you would accept it even after asking!’
Looking at Nilia, who couldn’t control her facial expressions, it was clear that she was worried as she asked, ‘What if I accept?’
“Go in first. “See you later.”
Lee Han stopped bothering Nilia and took a step toward the magic circle.
It was unfortunate that I wasn’t able to achieve results in the lectures, but it’s impossible to get perfect grades in all lectures, right?
Of course, he would have to study even harder as he would have to make up for the losses from today’s lecture in other lectures, but Lee Han had accepted it.
‘I guess I’ll just empty my mind and walk around today.’
Pot!
The feeling of floating and the soul moving to another plane.
The smell of salty sea water came with the open sea and nothing else. It felt like I was alone on a remote island.
‘Sea, water, marine-type monsters?’
The environment was the primary clue given to wizards trying to negotiate with beings from other planes.
Experienced and knowledgeable summoning wizards even guessed the name of the spirit just by looking at the surrounding environment.
with a splash!
A dolphin-like spirit stuck its head out from the water in the distance.
Lee Han greeted cautiously.
“hello. Mr. Dolphin?”
Instead of answering, the dolphin went under the water and never came out again.
“……”
Lee Han became bitter.
‘Should I just try to grab it with force?’
In the spirit world, there is nothing more dangerous or reckless than competing with spirits by force, but it seems better than talking aimlessly like this…
Paaaa-
“?”
After Lee Han stopped the spirit flood, the emblem he received from Upinum began to glow.
At the same time, the sea in front of me split on both sides like a low tide, revealing a sea path.
It was like a signal to come in.
‘The spirit returns the favor!’
Lee Han felt an overwhelming emotion.
As expected, even insignificant creatures repay the favor, and since he is a spirit as great as Upinum…!
* * *
Professor Millais, who was sitting in a chair, frowned as he saw the magic circle swirling around.
As it was a magic circle that protected students with complex spells and protection, its swaying could not have been a good sign.
‘what?’
When I checked, I saw that one of the students was leaving the area protected by the magic circle and entering the outside area.
‘What a strange student.’
Although he has not confirmed who it was yet, Professor Millais immediately identified the culprit.
