Episode 1018
It wasn’t much of a consolation for a baby basilisk to do something like that in a situation where a monster from another dimension thought it was edible.
The misunderstood baby basilisk protested, turning its tail like a windmill.
-I didn’t think like that!
‘I haven’t told you what I’m thinking yet.’
-I think those bad monsters felt their master’s magic.
As a monster like itself, the baby basilisk accurately guessed the desires of a person it had never seen before.
Unlike the baby basilisk, which always wrapped itself around the arm and ate plenty of mana, other monsters often suffered from hunger.
The amount of magical energy absorbed through food was always insufficient compared to the amount required by the powerful body.
That is why powerful monsters often have ferocious temperaments.
-A monster that powerful would need a huge amount of magical power.
“indeed.”
The baby basilisk was deeply resentful of the monster that craved its master’s flesh and blood.
-No matter how hungry you are, you have to be polite and eat your magic like me!
“Yes.”
Instead of saying anything to the young basilisk, Lee Han quickly changed the subject.
“There is no such thing!”
“No? “Then why are they targeting you from earlier?”
“It must have felt like we were more of a threat.”
‘Hmm.’
Kitharenanum flinched.
I wouldn’t have believed it before, but I had just witnessed the Pengelin family’s wizard block the secret magic with reverse magic.
Considering the size of the exploration team, there was a possibility that the monster felt more threatening.
‘For a monster that crossed dimensions, the strategy is too passive. Even if he was strong, he wouldn’t be a threat to himself. Is it to the extent of neglecting one side and attacking the other?’
The magic criminal who was thinking shook his head.
Now was not the time to discuss that.
“good night. How do you plan to cooperate? Are you planning to join and move together?”
“under. “I guess we could do that to each other.”
Alcicle sneered. No one on the expedition team or there would be thinking of such a thing.
The moment you join together, you’ll be targeting each other’s backs instead of the monsters…
“Let’s divide into zones and escape. Even if we join anyway, wouldn’t we just end up fighting each other? “Since they infiltrated here, they must know the map.”
Lee Han’s suggestion was reasonable.
In terms of the number of floors, the place where the party is currently located is about 4 underground floors.
There were two ways to go up the remaining three floors.
A relatively simple and straight western passage and a complex, twisted eastern passage.
If both of you try to escape through the western passage, internal strife may break out or monsters will come, so let’s escape here in separate sections!
‘what? ‘Are you an asshole?’
Kitharenanum was puzzled.
Now the monsters were actively pursuing the exploration team. Even if the escape area was divided, there was a high possibility that it would end up in one direction.
In that case, the benefit to the exploration team is at best to avoid situations in which they fight each other.
Even if he backed off, he wasn’t usually soft.
‘but. Even if I suggested anything more than that, they would probably reject it. If they are destroyed together, they also lose.’
-Something is strange. Aren’t they playing a trick? Wizard. You always said that.
-…The people from Einrogard are cunning, but things are different now.
Kitharenanum explained to the demon.
The cunning of the Einrogardian was difficult for even magical criminals to follow, but Kitharenanum had a wickedness that the Einrogardian wizards did not have.
Innate evil!
Every time the Einroguard wizards meet, they ask, ‘Could it be that Einroguard is crooked because he ignores them? I apologize on your behalf!’ Although his pride was hurt, Kitharenanum was proud of his innate evil.
They are born with pure evil, without any external tragedy, misfortune, or neglect.
Isn’t that the natural virtue and strength that a wizard should have?
-There are a lot of them, so there are a lot of lives to take care of. Of course, we cannot attempt unreasonable negotiations. That’s their weakness.
-Indeed… I understand. Let’s trust your judgment.
‘You’re whining dirty about the fallen great devil.’
The magic criminal cursed the devil he had contracted with.
“good night! But I have no intention of giving up the passage. “We will use the west.”
Beside him, Bashirmac nodded as if he had done well.
“no. We also have no intention of making concessions. “We will use the west.”
Alcicle looked worried at Lee Han’s words.
“What if the other person refuses?”
“Do not worry. “If you’re a criminal, you have to be this strong so you don’t get suspicious.”
‘This guy. Why do you know so much about magical criminals…’
Alcicle looked at Lee Han with eyes full of worry.
It wasn’t that I was worried that the negotiation would be broken, but that I was worried that even though I was only a second year student, I was already familiar with the ecology of magical criminals.
…Can I just trust the real Gonadaltes?
‘Uhm. Although Gonadaltes is a great wizard, his students have all been a bit…’
“You probably know that too. The monsters are targeting this area first. “Abandon the idea that only that side will benefit.”
“…I wasn’t that stupid. good night. “We’re heading east.”
“what? why? “Are you crazy?”

Bashirmac was furious.
Why do you give in like that to the imperial dogs?
“Calm down. “You don’t want to end up together now.”
“Threat them! “I mean, threaten!”
Kitharenanum listened no more. I couldn’t waste any more time.
“We go to the crossroads first. Follow me from behind. “Keep your distance.”
“i get it.”
The exploration team moved first. Towards the fork in the passageway that divides into west and east.
Although Bashirmac complained, he did not neglect his role.
“More people are coming from below. They look like damn bugs. “Even after killing them like that, how many are left?”
“The number must have increased in the meantime. never mind. “All we have to do is turn east at the fork before they arrive.”
Kitharenanum replenished his supplies again and paid attention to the spider monsters coming up from underground.
If there was a split in the passage anyway, most of the monsters would be aiming for that side.
“hey!”
“?”
The exploration team that arrived first suddenly spoke. It was like that Einroguard wizard from before.
“what?”
“Bashirmac! The magical criminal Kitharenanum sacrificed ninety-nine hearts of giants to make a contract with the Great Evil!”
“……”
“……”
“Okay then!”
Kitharenanum felt a chill as if his spine had been stabbed with ice.
The giant mixed-blood warrior next to him, Bashirmac, was glaring at him with cold eyes.
It was so different from his usual hot-tempered appearance that I was even more scared.
“It’s nonsense! “They are causing trouble!”
“I knew you made a contract with the devil. “It smelled great.”
“…!”
“Then take this opportunity to tell me. “What did you offer as a sacrifice?”
-Hahaha!
The devil could be heard laughing happily.
In this contract with the devil, there was a treaty that stipulated that what was offered as a sacrifice should not be revealed.
The moment it was revealed, the contract was canceled and Kitharenanum became the other party’s eternal slave.
“I can’t reveal that because it’s a contract with the devil.”
“indeed.”
“Don’t be fooled by them! “Like the cunning Einroguards, they use tricks…”
Even as he spoke, Kitharenanum could not understand at all.
The tactic of tying the two up with just one word was a tactic that could never be used unless you knew their relationship well.
How could a faceless Einroguard use that?
“I trust you. Cytarenum.”
“thanks!”
And at the same time, the two attacked each other.
As magic was released from Kitaren’anum’s body and aura exploded from Vasirmaek’s great sword, the surrounding passage collapsed in an instant.
Spider monsters were crawling like crazy underneath them, but the two didn’t care and just attacked each other, aiming for each other’s lives.
* * *
“excellent. “I’m not going to run away.”
Lee Han, who received praise from the evil god worshiper, felt very strange.
“…I figured out how to make them fight. “Is it the power of precognitive magic?”
“Yes. “It is a power given to us by the great prophet.”
“Still, I didn’t expect you to fight like that right away. Have you ever been attacked by giants?”
“Yes. “The cult’s warriors attacked the giants under Bashirmac and stole ninety-nine hearts.”
“……”
“……”
Somehow a fight broke out right away!
Lee Han and Alcicle looked at each other with tired expressions. As expected, evil spirit worshipers were never to be approached.
“One floor left!”
“I need acceleration magic, please!”
“Are there any side effects?”
“Anything please!”
With the consent of the exploration team members, Lee Han immediately took out his cane.
Originally, the strengthening magic taught by the black book was difficult to cast unless you were an Einroguard student, as it was a burden on the body, but it was a different story if consent was obtained in this situation.
There will only be one floor left anyway…
-■■■■■■!
“They caught up with me!”
“Break through! “Everyone got out anyway!”
The exploration team members burned their fighting spirit.
Those gathered here were not weak and avoided fighting. It was just that I didn’t want to waste time in a meaningless fight deep inside.
bang!
At that moment, the sound of space being crushed erupted.
From above, not below.
“????”
…Are you okay, everyone?
A familiar giant skeleton flew in with an unusually urgent voice.
Next to him was the archmage Erindarvel, whom I had seen before. He, too, must have been so embarrassed that he was sweating coldly on his pale face.
“Gonadaltes! “You’re here to help!”
“Even Erindarbel! “Did you anticipate the dangers of this exploration?”
Uh…uhh. yes.
“Yes, that’s right.”
The two great wizards quickly checked Lee Han first. When they confirmed that the wizard was alive and well, they both breathed a sigh of relief.
The skeleton headmaster glared at the archmage next to him.
This archmage sometimes made such ridiculous mistakes that it made my heart sink.
Lee Han asked, puzzled.
“How did you get here? “With precognitive magic?”
I had originally guessed the dangers of this expedition.
“????”
It was even more incomprehensible.
Principal Skeleton clearly said about this expedition, ‘It will be an event to share artifacts.’
Lee Han asked again.
“You originally said you were going to take the artifact from a hidden underground warehouse, right?”
Monsters are coming.
The skeleton principal quickly changed his mind.
“It’s on a different level from regular monsters.”
That is correct. I’m glad I noticed it before it came out.
The two great wizards were planning to burn the entire eroded space to the ground.
I didn’t know what would happen if a monster like this got out for no reason.
If I destroy the space, can you take care of the cleanup?
“yes. “We will fix the surrounding space.”
okay. Let’s get started right away.
The skeleton headmaster immediately tried to cast a spell. There was no benefit in dragging this on for too long.
Just then, a paper bird flew towards the skeleton principal. When the bird chirped something, the skeleton principal’s eyes shook greatly.
“Is there something wrong? “Maybe a monster escaped?”
…Come here for a moment.
“???”
When the skeleton principal called, Lee Han became even more worried.
What on earth is going on to call Lee Han with such a serious expression?
Professor Boladi has now arrived at the Chrysopyrite Magic Tower.
“yes? ah. yes. “The professor said we knew each other.”
…You weren’t here today.
“????”
