Episode 1210
-Hmm. No. It might not be a clue.
The hamster quickly came to his senses, like a seasoned magical criminal.
Even if there was any hidden magic in the fortress, the chances of it being in an underground prison like this were slim.
Only ignorant fools or those who read old fairy tales think, ‘There might be treasure in the dungeon!’, but generally, people don’t keep valuables in the dungeon.
Those kept in the dungeons were usually prisoners.
What’s truly precious is kept in a nearby place where only those who are confirmed to be in the upper echelons can enter, rather than in an ambiguous place like an underground prison…
“No. Trust my instincts. There’s something in the dungeon!”
-Oh, really?
The hamster shook slightly.
It was rare for a wizard from the Wardanaz family to speak with such confidence.
It’s amazing that the guy who always takes a step back and nags at me is showing such confidence.
I really didn’t know there might be something there.
Lee Han moved quickly when he saw that the hamster seemed to have been tricked. Given time, the hamster was able to come to its senses again.
Fortunately, there were no other vampires near the underground entrance. It seemed that the dead who had lost their minds due to the nearby collapse did not wander around this area.
“This is…”
Lee Han, who came down through the collapsed entrance, was surprised to see the gruesome traces in the passage.
Dead vampires were stuck all over the place like decorations hanging on the walls and ceilings.
-He’s escaping… We have to stop him…
-The cunning archmage has made a move… The enemies have invaded…
These dead men were still unaware of the situation, even though the battle had already ended and they had fallen.
The dead above the fortress were in a similar situation, but they were better off than them. At least they could move around.
The hamster keenly observed the traces of the dead, regardless of whether they were crawling or hanging in a miserable manner.
Because it might be a clue to the magic hidden in the fortress.
-These are the enemies that the assassin killed. They are not usually quick.
Even among battle magicians, each school had its own unique style. Since it was a question with no right answer, the individuality of each magician was even more clearly revealed.
The current battle mage’s style is speed-oriented.
It was a magical battle where relatively high level magic was invested in speed and stealth, and magic that attacked the enemy was combined with low circle magic to ensure minimal destructive power.
To fight in this manner, you must have the ability to quickly detect the enemy’s weaknesses and the skill to strike at their vital points. Otherwise, your lack of destructive power will be your obstacle.
-It’s interesting, but it’s far from powerful and extraordinary magic. Do you really think there’s a clue here?
The hamster asked again, puzzled.
Of course, the accomplishments displayed by these battle wizards were amazing and unique, but they were not the magic that the hamster was looking for.
What this hamster wants is ancient magic that is powerful and extraordinary enough to catch the attention of the Yaksha King and be hidden by Sanguiros, not the art of training and combining common magic to its extreme.
“Of course. I am even more convinced. But look at this dead man here.”
Lee Han pointed to the deceased with only the upper body and asked.
Unlike the hamster, it was because it lacked experience and could not tell at a glance what kind of magic was used.
The dead man groaned to Yihan.
-The assassin… has escaped… we must chase him…
“Okay, okay. Okay, just be quiet.”
-The assassin… escaped… a very evil…
When the dead man, who had lost his senses, refused to listen, Lee Han cast a curse to silence him.
The hamster asked, squeaking.
-What do you want me to see? A miserable sight of someone being attacked by an evil spirit?
“No, it’s the cut marks here. Is this some kind of magic?”
Looking at the upper body of the deceased, it seemed that he had been hit with a bead-shaped elemental magic and then had his feet briefly bound, causing a large cut.
I knew the former, but the latter was not easily guessed.
– Let’s see… With that kind of cutting power, it’s either wind or ice… It’s neither. If it’s wind, the cutting surface would be more destructive, and if it’s ice, you would see frost. It’s highly likely that a dark element was used.
“Huh? Are you saying that the assassin is also proficient in the dark element?”
-Even if you are not a master of the elements, you can still use magic. You just need to learn as much as you need. As I said, this assassin is the type that creates destructive power through skill and combination, so he won’t be too concerned about that.
“Indeed. Indeed.”
After figuring out what he needed to know, Lee Han started to reverse-calculate the magic based on the remaining clues.
‘In the dark element series, if it’s cutting power, it’s a sword type. Since the attacks happened at the same time, it wouldn’t have been swung directly, so it’s summoned… If so, it would have been summoned and swung behind the enemy. Since you hate waste, you wouldn’t have kept the sword, but made it disappear instantly.’
-…Aren’t you looking for any clues?
Lee Han answered the hamster’s question firmly.
“This is the clue. Trust me.”
-Yeah, yeah.
Little by little, the hamster began to get confused.
It’s nice to be trustworthy, but what on earth does this kid believe in to be so confident?
“Hmm… Is this
-4 circles. Can’t you even count circles?
The hamster forgot how confused he was and was dumbfounded.
The current Imperial Magic Classification System was clean and simple enough for this ancient-worshipping magic criminal to admit.
I wonder how many circles there are of magicians who would be able to graduate from Einlogard without being strange, even if they are just beginners who are just starting out in magic.
“I was confused because I never used the magic circle. People can make mistakes, so how can you criticize them like that?”
Lee Han, on the other hand, refuted it.
Typically, wizards would learn 1st circle magic for a long period of time, and then learn 2nd circle magic for a long period of time to develop.
However, while Lee Han was learning 1st circle magic, some crazy people came and taught him 2nd circle magic, and while he was learning that, other crazy people came and taught him 3rd circle magic, and so on.
Because I learned it so quickly and concisely, it is not intuitive whether this magic is 3 circle or 4 circle.

Isn’t it enough to just distinguish between whether or not you can learn it?
‘Isn’t this guy crazy?’
Of course, the hamster was even more shocked by such a rebuttal.
If someone goes somewhere and reverse-calculates magic and says that he mistook the circle, no one will believe him.
“Then let’s look at the next trace. Do you understand how it moved?”
The next question was even more difficult.
There was one dead guard chained to the prison bars, and another dead man lying on the inside of the bars.
At first glance, there was nothing strange, but upon closer examination, it felt uncomfortable.
The bars would have closed as soon as the corpse fell, so how did Professor Voladi manage to sneak inside the bars and kill his opponent without leaving a trace?
It wasn’t an attack from outside. The dead man inside the bars was clearly killed by melee magic.
It wasn’t like I used teleportation. There was no way I would do something so inefficient as to kill a single dead person inside the bars.
Likewise, there is no way the guard would have killed the person inside the bars first when there was a guard in front of him…
-You’re short-sighted. It’s time magic. You must have increased the speed by accelerating.
Lee Han also had similar magic. He was able to use the
“indeed…!”
The situation was immediately depicted before my eyes.
As long as you can quickly accelerate and move while turning behind your opponent, it doesn’t really matter what kind of magic you use for attack.
As he thought about it, Lee Han realized that Professor Boladi would not have used time acceleration magic so foolishly.
It was Lee Han’s way to waste his magical power without sparing it, but Professor Boladi never did that.
‘You probably planned a path and accelerated time along that path. Otherwise, there’s no need to waste magic.’
Just as I had restricted the summoning of the dark element sword from behind the enemy to a short time, it was clear that this time acceleration magic was also the same.
As Lee Han worked hard to cast the spell with interest, the hamster asked in puzzlement.
-Doesn’t this seem like a clue to ancient magic?
“You can’t afford to ignore even a single clue. You never know when it might come in handy.”
After finishing the record, Lee Han took a step further in.
The inquisitors and guards appeared as if they had been struck down by the chains of the Death Knights. These dead men were still unconscious and were muttering about having to torture the assassin.
-There’s nothing?
“Well, it wouldn’t be there, since the assassin escaped.”
-…?????
The hamster was flustered when the guy who had been confidently saying things like, “Trust me, the clue is here,” suddenly said this.
Am I really crazy?
-I’m sure you have a clue…
Regardless, Lee Han looked around the empty cell. Aside from his interest in magic, he wanted to know what had happened.
“!”
Lee Han focused his gaze as he discovered a short graffiti carved on the bottom of the wall.
It was such a short and simple doodle that I probably would have missed it if I hadn’t been paying attention.
‘This is…’
The content of the graffiti was simple.
It was a letter of apology to Principal Skeleton for his unruly behavior.
It was so clear who wrote it and what it meant.
“……”
Lee Han thought about it for a while and then quickly erased the graffiti.
As a disciple, I felt I should do this much for my teacher.
-What did you erase? Was it a clue?
“No. It was nothing. If it was a clue, I wouldn’t have erased it. Let’s go up now.”
-You said you had a clue!
“I guess I was mistaken. Haha. That could be true.”
-……
While the hamster was speechless from being so dumbfounded, Lee Han swept away all the remaining dead people who were there.
Even though completely destroying them would be meaningless since they were ghosts who had lost their egos anyway, I still wanted to do it.
‘This kid… is he threatening me?’
The hamster was embarrassed.
If that’s the case, then he was truly a lethal guy.
* * *
Magic comes from above. There is nothing below…
As we emerged from the underground, Sanguiros’ voice was heard again.
As he kept wandering around strange places, this imperfect evil spirit seemed to be getting impatient.
The hamster glared at Lee Han fiercely.
‘I clearly told you to go up!’
Lee Han nodded with a shameless expression.
“Indeed. It was unexpected. Who would have thought that he would be in the upper echelons of the fortress?”
-……
Those there will welcome your wizards. Hurry up. There is no telling when this fortress will fall.
Sanguiros laughed cheerfully and disappeared. The hamster seemed to become even more impatient at the sight.
Unlike the material world, this unstable dimension was subject to drastic changes. It was impossible to know when a fortress that had been destroyed in the past could collapse again.
-We must hurry, as I said. If the fortress falls, any traces of magic will disappear into the void beyond the dimension!
“Okay, calm down. Why don’t you go now?”
Lee Han agreed, but was still relaxed.
It was a light-hearted attitude, as if it was something you’d like to have, but if not, then don’t.
The hamster thought to himself at that sight.
‘No way… This guy is a wizard, so there’s no way he wouldn’t be interested in such magic… He’s probably just pretending to be calm. He must be getting impatient by now! He’s clearly bluffing because he doesn’t want to show his weakness in front of me.’
You seem like a poisonous guy!
