Episode 1200
‘No. In a situation like this, it’s actually reassuring.’
Come to think of it, this magical criminal’s madness was helpful in times like these.
Even magical criminals generally didn’t like to get involved with evil spirits. Who likes to argue with a madman?
But now, looking at what this Antagonist was saying, it didn’t seem like he would run away alone when the evil gods came.
Squeak squeak squeak squeak!
Antagondal’s hamster howled fiercely. Enster frowned without realizing it.
‘What a peculiar taste. What on earth makes you like a hamster like that?’
It’s not some rare beast that can use magic, it’s just an ordinary-looking hamster.
It was really difficult to guess the true intentions of the great wizards.
When Lee Han saw the other person staring at him intently, he felt uneasy and changed the subject.
“Why did those damned bastards come here?”
“……”
It was a question that Lee Han asked lightly, knowing the answer, but it was a very difficult question for Enster to answer.
“Did you make a deal with them? There’s nothing to hide. It’s not like it was a big deal.”
“Right, right.”
When the opponent opened the way, Enster quickly accepted it.
Of course, Antagondals would not know how deep the relationship between Enster and the Sanguiros Cult was.
But there was no need to say anything. If the other person misunderstood, wouldn’t it be a magical criminal to take advantage of it?
“I guess I should prepare to fight.”
Lee Han spoke belligerently and gestured to Enster.
It also meant that you should quickly take out your golem and prepare to fight.
Of course, my true feelings were different…
‘I have to wait and then stab him.’
If Enster fought the Sanguiros assassins, Lee Han would be grateful.
Why would I stop them when they are destroying each other? I was planning to wait and then attack the remaining ones.
But Enster wasn’t stupid.
“No. I’ll just get out of here. There’s no good in mixing hands with lunatics.”
I don’t know what the purpose of the Sanguiros remnants was, but it was dangerous to remain here.
It would have been impossible to boldly enter a wizard’s workshop like that without some kind of trust.
Moreover, these madmen were generally difficult to predict.
Robbers might just loot, but these people might just blow themselves up first.
‘this.’
Lee Han felt regretful.
I wanted to make them fight somehow…
-Uh. Wait a minute.
‘?’
-…Did your memory fade away? Are you saying you forgot what you were doing down in the basement just now?
“…!!”
Only then did Lee Han remember what the situation was like below.
Wasn’t Lee Han just trying to get in the way!
‘But does that really work?’
The method the hamster advised was quite ineffective.
It was like continuously pouring water into a pot with a broken bottom.
If so, it is possible that the underground escape routes were not properly disabled.
-If I had a little more time, I would have been more certain, but I’m not sure.
‘As expected. I thought it was too weak a method.’
-You little bastards can’t teleport properly, so this is how you do it. Don’t blame others. It’s just a matter of buying time until those crazy guys come down…
Even if it wasn’t completely incapacitated, it was enough to buy some time with just a certain amount of damage.
Leehan and the hamster waited for Enster’s reaction with slightly anxious hearts.
Suddenly-
“…AAAAAAAHHHH!!!”
Enster opened the underground door and screamed, throwing away his previously calm demeanor.
As a wizard, there was no sign of dignity or composure. The situation underground was that dire.
The dozens of installed spells were backfiring and malfunctioning, creating a synergy effect, and not a single intact object was visible.
The scroll that had been carefully kept was nowhere to be seen, and the dimensional gate installed on the wall was spewing out a strange mucus, as if it was connected to some strange dimension.
Since the most precious items were in this state, there was no need to mention anything else. The hamster squeaked quietly.
-I don’t say this often, but aren’t your methods just too vicious?
“……”
Lee Han was so shocked that he almost dropped the hamster from his shoulder.
You told me to!
-You should have just sent me a moderate amount of scrolls to break them. Do you have any grudges in the basement?
‘How do I know the right amount? I’ve never done anything like this before!’
“These damn bastards are causing a ruckus because they really want to die…”
Enster’s eyes were red and radiated murderous energy.
He believed that this disaster was a premeditated plot by the assassins of Sanguiros.
Lee Han quickly agreed.
“Their skills are truly terrible!”

“Do you think it’s because you’re afraid of not dealing with those bastards? I’ll kill you! You scumbags who wouldn’t even bite a stray dog would dare…”
“I have to show an example!”
“ All golems, come out! ”
Enster was mad with revenge and took out all the golems that were available. Lee Han praised him and encouraged him.
The hamster looked at Lee Han with lukewarm eyes.
‘This little bastard, he’s really scary when he shows his true colors…’
He was a guy who would have done really well even if he had been a magical criminal.
* * *
The worshippers of Sanguiros did not actually come for the purpose of assassination.
As everyone knew, this sect had once been destroyed, and now had many enemies, and the situation was not very good.
It is time to persuade and win over the old remnants, not to assassinate them by force.
“Eh…”
“Kill him!”
“!”
The worshippers quickly lowered themselves as they heard the golem’s parts moving along with the life-giving sound.
Wooooow-
The golems immediately fired a beam of refined magic energy from the artifact mounted on their arms. It was an attack designed to kill them immediately upon landing.
“Enster, stop! I come in the name of the Regent. The Regent expects your loyalty!”
Instead of answering, Enster charged another golem.
This battle doll, modified for close combat, spewed poisonous mist from its face and fired powerful force-field blades from its arms and legs. It was a powerful summon that took the lives of many swordsmen and knights.
The sight of the charging golems enraged the evil-worshipers. Even a simpleton could understand what it meant.
“How dare you?!”
The body of one of the worshippers turned into blood and disappeared immediately. Enster became tense at the sight.
As someone who was once a member of the Sanguiros cult, I knew what an omen this was.
He was coming with power by sacrificing one person!
“…Kuaaaaah!”
An explosive energy poured out from the body of one of the relatively ordinary-looking worshippers, transforming into a monster of a form I had never seen before.
Then, he tore apart the approaching golems with one blow, not even caring about the poison and force field blades that were piercing him.
Enster’s face darkened immediately.
“Antagondals! Help me!”
But Antagondals did not come forward. Enster gritted his teeth at the sight.
That symbol, who would not help others for free even if he died, was truly the very definition of a magical criminal.
“Okay… burst! ”
One golem immediately exploded, blowing away everything around it.
I could hear the vibrations and noise outside, but there was nothing I could do. I had to block it out for now.
But the worshippers did not stop. Instead, they became even more angry and charged forward.
Enster felt his whole body’s blood rushing back at the sight.
Those who attacked and destroyed the magic core, the heart of the workshop, are acting like such fools.
Enster would have thought of a rational way to escape, but at this point, it was a do-or-die situation. He continued to deploy golems and caused them to explode.
-Can these guys fight this fiercely??
The hamster was embarrassed.
Even though the demon worshippers were half-mad, Enster was a magical criminal.
If you blow up the golems like that here, it will be impossible to handle the aftermath.
‘Isn’t this the price you pay for worshipping the devil? The price you pay for being obsessed with power, regardless of the means and methods.’
The hamster thought to himself that it was not a natural thing to do, but rather that it was Wodanaz who had been provoked into doing it, but he didn’t say anything.
The never-ending war of attrition ultimately resulted in Enster’s victory.
It was bound to be advantageous since we were fighting in the wizard’s workshop.
The last remaining worshipper staggered and glared.
“Enster, do not think that you can survive by rejecting the glory of the Regent. He is watching you!”
“In the name of Prahagal, Ksaksarigol, and Gonadaltes, eat some candy.”
Enster, who had already lost all affection and all non-existence, shot back coldly.
As the worshipper collapsed, Enster quickly drank the potion. The damage was severe, but it wasn’t just severe.
There were only about 1/5 golems left, the workshop was half destroyed, and the commotion must have been heard outside, so I had to give up my foolish thoughts and run away first.
‘Should I start slowly?’
Lee Han prepared his magic with the intention of ending it in one blow.
Although Enster was a powerful wizard, he was only a summoning wizard and fought by relying on golems.
At this distance, Lee Han had the advantage. Even his opponent was tired and let his guard down.
-If I had to compare him to a 4th year student at Ainrogard, his level would be similar. Since he’s tired, I guess I can go down half a year.
‘Are you saying that it’s hard for me to win?’
Lee Han was puzzled. The hamster was annoyed.
-No. I’m telling you to attack right away because you have a chance of winning! You idiot!
Lee Han grumbled inwardly at the sight of the hamster getting angry after making an analogy that was difficult to understand.
That was the time.
A huge red symbol rose above the corpses of the fallen worshippers. Enster’s reaction was much faster than Leehan’s.
“Life… Lifeless!!!”
A pattern I saw while I was at church.
Moreover, it was very ominous that the pattern was caught on all the dead guys.
What the heck…
So this is what it looks like.
A voice was heard beyond the pattern.
It wasn’t a voice that was physically produced using the vocal cords. It was a telepathic message composed of hundreds or thousands of layers of meaning coming from across dimensions.
Enster, who had never directly come into contact with an evil spirit even while in the church, was pale.
Are you saying that God himself came out like this just because his worshippers were killed?
“This is ridiculous! Because of those guys?!”
Lee Han was more calm than Enster.
Although his career as a wizard was much shorter, the scale of what he experienced was on a whole other level, allowing him to make cool-headed judgments.
‘…Can an evil spirit have such an ego?’
-!
The hamster looked at Leehan with surprised eyes.
Surprisingly, that was a correct point!
While even such a wizard was surprised and confused, this fresh-faced guy pointed out the key point.
-That’s right. That’s strange. The evil spirit is like that… It’s not a being that can be talked to.
As a great wizard, Hamster also believed that the source of faith was the collective unconscious.
God did not exist first, but rather the power of mortals created God.
So God was a kind of law and rule without self.
But how?
-There is no such thing as impossible. The evil spirit may have been tainted or corrupted. I don’t know how that is possible, but…
The hamster’s voice was weaker than usual.
Unlike other times, I couldn’t help it because I wasn’t sure.
A wizard with a unique hobby.
Sanguiros said as he looked at the hamster.
Why would a wizard of that caliber give up magic and become a hamster like that?
-……
I have a proposition for you mortals: Stop chasing my followers.
At those words, Lee Han and the hamster both looked at each other in bewilderment.
How can an evil spirit make such a flimsy suggestion?
-Seeing you acting so weak, you must be in a very desperate situation. Never accept it.
Wrong. Even if you capture and kill my followers, nothing will change. Do you think my existence will disappear just because you subjugate the sect? I already have a reality. That shabby organization has no meaning anymore.
“I wonder if a bishop-level figure in the religious order could say something like that even after he died.”
Lee Han spat it out without wavering.
Of course, even if the religious order were to be completely destroyed again, the evil spirit could still endure.
But it won’t be like that without any impact.
Bishop? Hahaha… Among my followers, there is not a single one who is worthy of being a bishop! They are all just pitiful scraps.
Lee Han and the hamster’s eyes wavered.
Until now, they thought that a powerful person, perhaps a bishop, had revived the church under a meticulous plan.
But that wasn’t the case either.
Are you saying that all of this was just a riot by a bunch of crazy remnants who didn’t think about the future?
If you want to chase and kill those bastards, go ahead and do it. I’ve already earned enough existence, so it doesn’t matter to me.
Lee Han’s expression became serious.
If that wasn’t a bluff, there was a major problem with the plan.
Even if the religious order is destroyed, won’t the evil spirits still remain with their power?
What was worse was that he even had an ego.
-Send him away. There’s no way to catch him anyway.
‘Even if you steal the power of another evil god and use it, it won’t cause any damage?’
-That’s close to transmitting only the voice, so it’s difficult to attack… Wait, wait. What did you say?
