Episode 581
Whiiiiing-
As the wind grew stronger and a blizzard swirled, visibility became narrow.
“Sharkan. request.”
Lee Han summoned the green-jeweled leopard and checked the route.
I had to be more careful as the familiar landmarks disappeared.
The good news was that Lee Han and his friends were already well-armed with winter gear.
“Thanks to Professor Garcia.”
“You made it during Professor Verdus’ lecture, right?”
Lee Han looked away and pretended not to hear Dergyu’s question.
Just then, Sharkan returned. The leopard nodded his head as if he could pass by.
“for a moment. “I have to walk quite a bit from now on, but I don’t think I can carry it on my back forever.”
“Wardanaz. “Even if it’s annoying, I can’t throw these off the cliff.”
Giselle opened her mouth with the intention of teasing Wardanaz for the first time in a while.
However, Ihan and Dergyu showed a different reaction than Giselle expected.
“no…”
“That’s a bit…”
“…I was joking.”
“Yeah, I see.”
“Nong, it was a joke. “I thought so too.”
“hey. “Just shut the f*ck up, both of you.”
Giselle vowed never to make a joke to these bastards again.
“So Lee Han? “Is there a good way?”
“Rise, warriors of bone.”
Lee Han waved his staff and chanted a spell. Three skeleton warriors slowly carried the apprentice knights on their backs.
“This will work.”
“uh. But Lee Han.”
“Why are you doing that?”
“What if the knights wake up here?”
“…Would you mind giving me an eyepatch?”
Lee Han not only tied up the apprentice knights, but also put eye patches on their eyes.
Only then did he look relieved.
“I guess that’s enough now, right?”
“……”
“……”
Giselle and Durgyu had complicated expressions upon seeing that.
After putting the knights to sleep, tying them up tightly and having them carry the skeletons on their backs, it’s like…
‘You look really evil.’
‘It’s like a warlock from an old story.’
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
“Wow, I was impressed by the way you used the skeleton.”
“Why with something like this?”
Lee Han was a little embarrassed by Dergyu’s praise.
* * *
“Ugh.”
Ravda woke up in pain.
I couldn’t quite remember what happened.
I was clearly sitting in a carriage, and afterwards I felt a strong pain in my solar plexus…
“omg!”
Ravda and the apprentice knights opened their eyes.
It was the first time I had seen the cabin inside.
The sound of a fierce wind could be heard outside, but the crude fireplace was burning brightly, driving away the cold…
In the cupboard, canned lamb and some eggs. It was filled with peas, marmalade, sugar, salt, tea leaves, coffee powder, etc.
‘Where is it??’
“You’re awake!”
Lee Han, who was checking the inside of the pot with a ladle, saw that the apprentices had woken up and rushed over.
“I worried. “You guys fell!”
“W-what happened? Wardanaz? “Where are we?”
Lee Han paused. It was as if he was exchanging glances with Giselle.
“Don’t you remember? The carriage has been attacked! “A monster attacked the carriage!”
“Well… was that so?”
“okay. “I was barely able to escape with you guys.”
Lee Han and Giselle eagerly explained how the bloody and bizarre monsters living in the mountains attacked the carriage and tried to devour the apprentice knights.
Dergyu kept his mouth shut and cut the onions.
No matter how I looked at it, I didn’t have the confidence to say something like that.
“Thank you… thank you. It’s a shame. Just getting help. “We should have blocked the way.”
“It was an unexpected surprise attack, so there was nothing we could do. “The mountains are dangerous places.”
“Were there any giants? “I heard there are giants here.”

“…Well, it looks like there was a giant too…”
Lee Han raised the level of the monsters as the apprentice knights wanted.
If it makes you feel better!
“Then what about here?”
“Probably a hunter’s cabin.”
“Are there any hunters here?!”
‘I think I persuaded you well.’
Lee Han exchanged meaningful glances with his friends.
Fortunately, we were able to overcome the biggest obstacle.
We had no choice but to find this lodge by chance!
‘I just need to stay like this for one day.’
The apprentice knights shared their opinions among themselves.
“hmm. “Can I use a place like this?”
“I can’t help it. Now that it’s like this, let’s get ready to deal with the monsters. “Because the professor said he would come visit too.”
“?”
Lee Han paused.
“What did the professor say?”
“hmm? “There are monsters in the mountains, so be prepared to deal with them.”
“Didn’t you just say you were coming over?”
“ah. You said so. A monster is coming. But that’s normal when you go into a dangerous area, right?”
“……”
Of course, what Ravda said was not wrong.
It was no exaggeration to say that if it was a dangerous area, monsters would come.
However, Lee Han’s senses, which had been trained at Einrogard, were inferring a different meaning from those words.
‘That’s strange?’
Thump thump thump-
At that moment, someone knocked on the cabin door. Durgyu lifted the padded wooden plank and checked outside the window.
“!”
Surprisingly, it was other White Tiger Tower students.
The White Tiger Tower students, half buried in snow and trembling, knocked on the door of the lodge and shouted.
“Do, help me!”
“Door… open the door! “I feel like I’m freezing to death!”
“Batrek, Ctrran?! you guys. How can we get here…?!”
“Well, we got attacked! It’s cold. It’s cold. “Please open the door!”
Dergyu hurriedly opened the door.
Then, the White Tiger Tower students outside tried to enter the lodge.
“Be paralyzed!”
Lee Han swung his staff and cursed paralysis.
As it is a curse type of magic with the fastest casting speed and wide hit range among the magic, the paralysis curse hit the White Tiger Tower students as it was.
“Ugh… Ugh!”
“!?”
Dergyu looked at Lee Han in surprise. I couldn’t figure out why Lee Han had cast the paralyzing curse.
Slurp-
The bodies of the White Tiger Tower students crumbled like slime. Then it wriggled and turned into a strange monster.
“Shape shifter!”
Giselle shouted in horror.
Shape shifter monsters had the powerful ability to change their appearance at will.
The most representative one was the doppelganger, but he was not the only one with this ability.
The shifting slime in front of me was also one of the infamous shape shifter monsters.
That’s quite advanced too!
“Be careful, don’t let them dig in! “It gets tricky when shapeshifters invade the ranks!”
Giselle pulled out her dual swords and created a gap. Once that slime came in and used transformation, things got very tricky.
The slime seemed to be embarrassed and changed its appearance one after another. After imitating the White Tiger Top student a few times, he seemed to have noticed Lee Han and turned into Lee Han.
“Don’t attack! “I’m your friend!”
“okay!”
Giselle boldly thrust her sword into the slime’s face, which had turned into Lee Han. It was the most beautiful and cleanest sword strike I’ve ever seen.
Wow!
It seemed like the slime was hit hard by the paralysis curse and the enchanted sword attack. He quickly escaped out of the cabin door and threw himself into the piled up snow.
‘If you miss it, it’ll be a pain in the ass!’
“Sharkan. good!”
The leopard growled and jumped out. Sharkan, which reacts through its sense of smell, had an advantage when dealing with these shape shifter monsters.
As if that wasn’t enough, Lee Han brought in skeleton warriors and stopped them in front of the door. This was to prepare for an unexpected intrusion.
Kwasik!
Sharkan accurately bit off the ankle of a shifting slime that was trying to burrow into the snow.
The slime gave up on the ankle part and attempted to change shape once again. It was not easy to catch him because there was so much snow.
“Snow, turn to sand!”
Lee Han urgently memorized the spell.
I had a lot of practice converting sand into rocks or rocks into sand, but I had never practiced converting snow into sand.
Immediately recalling the properties of snow and sand, Lee Han completed the magic.
Then the accumulated snow scattered and turned into sand.
‘done!’
“Flash spear!”
Lee Han summoned lightning to his staff and fixed its form. Thanks to Professor Boladi’s harsh instructions, it was possible to skip the spell without having to memorize it for a long time.
Let’s go!
When the spear of lightning hit the slime exactly, the slime could no longer maintain its shape and melted.
Basically, the slime is a monster with a very simple structure, so if it inflicts more than a certain amount of damage, its core cannot withstand and it collapses like this.
Under normal circumstances, there would be no need to be so embarrassed or nervous.
Because this is not an ordinary situation!
“…You’re really done, Professor Einrogard!”
Lee Han sighed.
Who could have gotten this shifting slime?
It was clear that Professor Ingalldel had asked other professors to get it. It’s a fairly rare slime, so I wouldn’t have been able to make it without the help of professors.
‘It was better to just fight the enchanted bull.’
Lee Han seemed to know what Professor Ingerdel’s evil plan was hidden in the final exam.
After scattering the students across the mountain range, pre-trained shifting slimes are released to attack the students.
Students who thought the cold winter was a test will be caught off guard by a slime that takes the form of a friend and will be severely punished.
“That doesn’t make any sense.”
Dergyu still looked distraught.
“You definitely spoke like Bartrek? “How did they copy it like that?”
“Probably the professor taught me to do it secretly. “He must have been observing us while we couldn’t see him.”
Lee Han, who had learned about shifting slimes from Professor Lightning Walk, had his own information.
Slime were a kind of primitive colony incapable of higher thinking.
Of course, it was closer to watching and following rather than thinking with intellect.
Dergyu was astonished.
“That much?!”
“I was surprised too. But if you’re a professor at Einrogard, you can do that.”
Lee Han cleaned up the remains of slime.
The remains seemed like the last shreds of trust I had in Professor Ingalldel.
‘From now on, we must think of Professor Ingaldel as a professor of Einrogard.’
While I thought it was very rude, Ravda was truly impressed.
“Everyone, it’s really great. “We came to help, but it’s embarrassing.”
“haha. “With something like that.”
Lee Han saw the warm atmosphere and was slightly grateful to Shifting Slime.
It became annoying when Ravda asked, ‘Why does my head hurt like I took a sleeping potion?’, but thanks to the slime, I was able to get over it.
“Wardanaz. “I was really impressed that they recognized it right away as slime.”
“that’s right. “I couldn’t even see it clearly, but I noticed the difference.”
“Since we were always close, I naturally felt a sense of discomfort.”
Dergyu was deeply moved by Lee Han’s words.
‘I can’t believe I didn’t notice!’
Durgyu promised once again that he would pay more attention to his friends in the future.
‘Was it a shifting slime?’
Lee Han was also surprised on the inside.
I thought it was just other White Tiger Tower students coming to interfere and tried to subdue it, but I never thought it was a monster.
It was a truly unguarded Einroguard.
‘I need to attack more aggressively from now on.’
“Eastern slope.”
Giselle, who was observing outside without listening to the conversation, said with a serious expression.
“Approaching this way. “There are more than ten people.”
“…!”
Lee Han opened the door of the lodge and looked down.
Surprisingly, more than ten students and apprentice knights were coming this way.
“Let’s keep them away.”
“okay.”
The two agreed.
I don’t know what the reason was for them to come together like that, but we couldn’t put them all in the lodge and it was difficult to clean up after them.
Especially if there is a shifting slime in between…
“……”
“……”
However, as the group approached, Lee Han and Giselle’s faces became hard.
Lee Han, Giselle, and Durgyu were also in that group.
Fake Lee Han pointed at the real Lee Han and shouted.
“They’re fake over there!”
“No, this is crazy…!”
Lee Han was astonished.
Obviously, Slime’s intelligence is at the level of learning from Lee Han and imitating him, but how can he even instigate something like that??
