Episode 549
Yoner looked at his friend slightly suspiciously, but couldn’t stay like that for long.
Other undead began to creep out from the forest.
“Spirit pollutant? …is it a dark series?”
Lee Han frowned and muttered.
The people of the Empire thought that cold-type spirits became more active when the cold winter came, but in fact, that was only half true.
Winter is a season that awakens more diverse beings than we think.
In areas where sharp winds were blowing, wind-type spirits appeared more frequently, and in mining areas, there were cases where rock or metal elemental spirits roamed around with great vigor.
And the most annoying of them all were the undead.
What symbolizes winter is not only cold and wind. Among them was death.
There are few things that frighten the people of the Empire more than the rising undead walking around hiding in the long winter nights.
Of course, Professor Thunderstruck has taken precautions to prevent the undead from resurrecting in the nearby forest, but there are always exceptions.
That was the spirit pollutant that was now wandering before my eyes.
An irregularly shaped monster made up of spirits that run away or become violent due to the strong flow of magic in the area and become entangled with other beings.
Since they were mixed with spirits and not ordinary undead, ordinary prevention methods did not work well.
Moreover, the polluted object in front of me was a mixture of dark spirits and undead.
In the first place, most spirits hated the undead and did not approach them even when they went berserk…
“A dark spirit?!”
Priest Siana opened his eyes wide in surprise.
Lightning-type spirits are so rare that they are hard to find, and dark elements are even rarer.
“I know it’s interesting, but I don’t think now is the time!”
Yoner shouted as he hurriedly took out the potion inside.
Black, shimmering spirit pollutants were gradually creeping out of the forest.
■■!
■■■■…
Some of the spirit pollutants were interested in the hut, but some fought with each other.
When a beetle-shaped spirit pollutant the size of a full-grown pig attacked the pollutant next to it, the pollutant also fought back and swung its hind legs.
“Here, fire potion!”
“thank you! Makin!”
Yoner handed the ignition potion he usually carried for self-defense to Priest Cyana.
This potion, which burns fiercely when the flask breaks and comes in contact with air, was a good potion to use wherever Einrogard went.
In particular, dark spirit pollutants would be weak to elements such as fire and light.
“Huh Joner? I am?”
Lee Han held up a staff and cast a strengthening spell on his two friends, then tilted his head.
Yoner naturally did not give Lee Han over and moved on.
“huh? …ah! here!”
Yoner belatedly remembered that Ihan could also use ignition potions.
He was such a good friend that he knew how to fight, so the thought of needing a potion didn’t even occur to me.
“……”
“I was going to give it to you… really.”
“okay. thank you.”
Lee Han looked out the window of the cabin.
The number of pollutants with different appearances was increasing. It was no exaggeration to say that this was a bunch of pollutants.
‘I don’t think it’s something that would happen by chance. ‘Isn’t there someone among your seniors who studied the dark element and just threw it away in the forest?’
If that were the case, Lee Han was planning to show the anger of his juniors and seniors.
I’m already dying from hardship, so what kind of nuisance is this?
And when something like this happens, the ones who suffer the most are always the first graders.
The upper-year students at Einrogard had the ability to easily put their own bodies aside even when all kinds of ferocious monsters passed through the dormitory or main building courtyard.
“Let’s stay inside until the professor comes.”
“Is the professor coming?”
“If you don’t come, your cabin will be destroyed, but you will come.”
“……”
“……”
The two were about to ask, ‘Wardanaz, did you fight with the professor?’ but held back.
Regardless of what Lee Han said, holding on for now was the right strategic choice.
It wasn’t wise to show your face when there were hordes of mindless monsters roaming around outside.
The rule was to move slowly and carefully after the monster group moved to another location.
■■■■■…!
“!”
The spirit in the form of a squirrel, which had previously come to the hut to play pranks but retreated due to the expulsion decoction, reappeared.
The squirrel spirit must have been scared of the pollutants moving around, so it tried to keep them in check by making snowflakes bloom everywhere.
“no!”
“then…!”
The students sighed when they saw that.
No matter how scared you are, you attract attention like that in front of pollutants.
It was stupid.
In fact, the dark spirit pollutants that were acting in their own way instantly recognized the squirrel spirit and began chasing it.
“I need help.”

Yoner carefully opened the cabin door and prepared to leave.
By lightly touching the magic circle around here, the squirrel spirit could be let inside.
“that’s right. Because spirits do not forget grace. “If you save me, I will definitely repay you.”
Lee Han muttered as he followed his friends out to the garden.
Priest Siana asked, ‘Can we really believe in spirits? ‘You ungrateful bastards?’ She thought she heard the same voice, but she decided to pretend not to hear it.
“Lee Han. I’ll do it.”
Yoner sensed that Ihan had a lot to do with the spirit and tried to send him back.
If the squirrel spirit that had saved him bitten Lee Han’s hand, there really might be no turning back.
In the future, an archmage with titles such as <Spirit Slayer> or <Spirit Hater> may be born…
“no. I install it myself so it’s quicker for me to help. “I’m going to stop the flow for a moment. Can you give me some cover?”
“Lee Han. Even if that spirit comes in now and shows violent behavior, that’s because of the current situation…”
“What are you talking about?”
Ihan looked at Yoner in bewilderment.
In a situation where he had to concentrate and stop the magic circle for a moment and let the spirit in, Yoner was talking about something else.
“…Nothing. “I’m ready!”
Wooooow-
Yoner, who was protecting Ihan with a staff and fire potion, was amazed by the change in the magic circle.
To think that a magic circle so large and complex that it covers the entire area can be stopped so easily.
It was basic to completely understand the structure of the magic circle, and it was only possible to freely manipulate the flow by inserting one’s own magic power.
I once again felt that my friend, who had been complaining about the spirits just now, was a magic genius, one of the greatest in the empire.
Priest Syanna must have thought the same, as he gazed at the magic circle with admiration.
“come in!”
Lee Han suppressed the magic circle with his strength and shouted to the squirrel spirit.
The squirrel spirit, who had been constantly being chased, belatedly heard Lee Han’s voice and turned his gaze toward the cabin.
“Come this way!”
“Hurry!”
Priests Yoner and Syanna also motioned for them to come quickly.
When the squirrel spirit started running, the two breathed a sigh of relief.
Lee Han muttered.
“Even though your life is in danger, you ignore me when I ask you to come.”
“…Oh, no. “It must have been a coincidence.”
“But you didn’t come when Wardanaz called…”
“Priest Shianna…!”
Yoner looked resentfully at Priest Syana, who suddenly interrupted his work.
However, Priest Siana also had his own thoughts.
“But I think it would be bad if you force yourself to take sides. “To be honest, I’m a bit ungrateful.”
“That’s true, but…”
“Hey guys. “I’m really fine.”
Lee Han sighed and looked at his friends.
Of course, the spirits were too cold-hearted compared to the sincerity shown by Lee Han, but they were not so weak that Lee Han continued to worry about them because of that.
Even if the spirit doesn’t like Lee Han, what can you do?
Lee Han had to follow Lee Han’s path.
Rather, it was more painful that my friends kept paying attention to me like that.
“The spirit might be a little reluctant to me. So don’t worry so much.”
“Sorry. “Lee Han.”
Yoner looked at Ihan with an expression of apology.
By trying to care about my friend for no reason, I ended up making him more uncomfortable.
“no. There’s nothing to apologize for. Just tell me honestly.”
“huh. “I will.”
Priest Cyanna, who was listening to the conversation between the two, asked Yoner slightly.
“So you didn’t come when I called you earlier, right?”
“huh.”
Ihan’s expression slightly wavered at Yoner’s words as he hammered a nail into his head.
widely-
Meanwhile, the squirrel spirit passed through the magic circle. Lee Han quickly activated the magic circle again.
The contaminants chased the squirrel spirit and whirled and circled around due to the unpleasant energy they felt instinctively.
“Don’t be afraid. “Because we are not your enemies.”
“that’s right. look.”
Priests Yoner and Syanna spread their hands as if to appease a frightened squirrel spirit.
A frightened spirit was often more dangerous. If you touch it incorrectly, it will run wild and cause chaos.
-……
The squirrel spirit looked around to assess the situation, climbed up Lee Han’s ankle, and stopped at his wrist.
Then he rubbed his head as if he was grateful.
“…????”
“I… Ihan!”
“This is a miracle!”
“Priest Sianna…”
“Well, it’s not a miracle, it’s a semi-miracle…?”
Lee Han could not hear their conversation. All I could see was a squirrel spirit rubbing its head.
“Lee Han… you’re not crying, are you?”
“…no. “I got dust in my eyes.”
The basilisk in the sleeve hissed.
He didn’t like the idea of Lee Han pampering ungrateful spirits.
Either way, the squirrel spirit stuck to Lee Han and wouldn’t let go.
“Wardanaz. I think we should go inside. excuse me…”
Priest Siana extended his finger forward, calling out to Lee Han.
Pollutants deep in the forest were seen moving around, perhaps chasing other spirits.
As of now, the pollutants were not coming in, but if they gathered more and their numbers increased, there might be someone who broke through as ignorantly as before.
“Is this another spirit being chased?”
“well? “Maybe so?”
“Let’s help.”
“…uh? yes?”
Priest Siana was embarrassed.
Things were a little different now than before.
Earlier, the magic circle was opened in a surprise attack when the nearby pollutants were not particularly interested in the three, and now the pollutants are screaming and glaring at the cabin.
The situation was much more dangerous than before.
“This much can be prevented. trust me. “Priest Siana.”
“Yes, I believe it, but… aren’t you overdoing it?”
“no. that’s enough. And we can’t just watch innocent spirits being reverse summoned by pollutants.”
The squirrel spirit was moved and clung to Lee Han.
“……”
“…Yes… I will prepare.”
* * *
The thunderous professor shouted in frustration when he saw the contaminants that suddenly appeared.
“go away!”
When the magic trumpet was blown, the pollutants spewed out fluid and shrunk.
“I swear on my ancestor’s beard that I will make you pay back if the students summoned you!”
The dwarf professor moved quickly on the spirit deer he had summoned.
There was no time to waste as there were many cabins built within the school grounds.
Professor Thunderstruck, who ran along the ridge and checked the cabins in the three forests, belatedly remembered his first-year students.
‘Oops!’
The disciples’ cabin on the other side was also close to the forest, so if something like this happened, there was a high possibility that it would be swept away first.
‘no. Because there is a magic circle and there is a Wardanaz guy.’
When I thought of Wardanaaz, I felt much more reassured. The thunderous professor turned the direction of his spirit deer and hurried away as if he were flying.
‘also…’
The appearance of a cabin came into view from afar. Seeing that he’s fine, it’s clear that he’s fine…
Kwazizijik…
“…Is there a war?!”
The thunderous professor was really surprised when the vacant lot in front of the cabin turned into a puddle of pitiful ruins, as if it had been attacked by some kind of attack.
Has there ever been such a fierce fight??
