Chapter 508

“Hmm.”

Today’s juniors must have consumed quite a bit of mana and mental strength to make cursed dolls.

…Coming to think of it, it wasn’t magic, but anyway, the consumption of mental energy was also an important problem.

Since magic is originally a task that requires a high degree of concentration, it is impossible not to accumulate mental fatigue every time you cast it.

However, Diret did not stop his junior.

It was because he had no intention of stopping it again after he took out a piece of bone from the reagent bag and saw him contemplating hard.

‘Are you okay…?’

Seeing Lee Han briskly taking out bone fragments and making various preparations, I wondered if he was worrying for nothing.

Shouldn’t geniuses be treated appropriately for geniuses?

Asking the genius to slow down was only a pointless hindrance.

‘okay. Let’s leave it alone.’

“Seniors. I’m trying to compress the dark element into a piece of bone…”

“It’s hard to do that on the fly. I’ll lend you…”

“How about this?”

Diret raised his head and looked at the bone fragments in Lee Han’s palm.

In that short time of thinking for a moment, this junior had accurately compressed the dark element into the reagent.

As with the cursed dolls, Diret was seriously troubled by the fact that he was solving the basic work on the spot that would normally take a year in the workshop or mage tower.

‘Isn’t this junior part of the responsibility for the professors’ continued bullshit?’

No matter how much Einrogard’s professors are mostly lunatics, it’s okay to just stop.

Even if the progress goes so well, wouldn’t there be some responsibility?

‘Ah. What a crazy idea I am…’

Diret shook his head, trying to dispel the evil thought.

At this crazy school of magic, instead of blaming the professor, you’re trying to blame the juniors.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

No matter how good Lee Han was in magic, the professors’ actions were not justified.

If there is a human heart, it should have come out not ‘I’m still good, so I’ll have to order more’, but ‘I still have a lot of them, but I need to stop them’.

Crumbling-

“……”

He had just made up his mind, but Diret felt his resolve waver as he lightly summoned over 10 dark skeleton warriors.

* * *

Summoning a Skeleton Warrior and summoning a Skeleton Warrior reinforced with the dark element did not differ much in principle itself.

During the summoning process, if only the dark element contained in the reagent could be controlled, the rest of the summoned undead from the undead system accepted the power on their own.

Of course, the process was a bit more difficult for Lee Han.

Unlike the other Necromancers, it was because he was learning the ancient necromantic technique, which was directly raised from the bottom, rather than summoned from the undead world.

But even taking that into consideration, it wasn’t something I couldn’t do.

Lee Han already had a lot of experience in summoning and fighting skeleton warriors…

‘Is it a little unstable?’

As the dark elements in the bones began to oscillate and leak out, Lee Han immediately struck and poured his magic power to stabilize it.

As the most dangerous situation when dealing with unstable elements such as the dark element is congestion, Lee Han’s response was an advantage that no one could follow.

‘There’s no need to summon Gonadaltes.’

Lee Han was satisfied watching the skeleton warriors spraying dark energy.

The dark element is a unique element that inflicts damage on opponents only by contact.

Normal skeleton warriors couldn’t defeat a seasoned foe head-on, but this skeleton warrior was different. If you don’t know how to respond, you will lose your life force in an instant and you will be defeated.

‘The summoning itself was successful, so now if we combine them into one…’

Lee Han dismantled and reassembled the summoned skeleton warriors and prepared to unite as one.

If you did such a violent thing to the undead summoned from the undead realm, you could get stabbed right in the back, but the ancient necromancer was much freer in this area.

This process was essential for Lee Han, who could not yet control a large number of skeleton warriors.

Swoop-

“?”

Lee Han, who was about to swing his staff to dismantle them, was startled to see the skeleton warriors moving.

‘what?’

It was not an illusion.

Once again, he swung his staff and moved his magic, and the skeleton warriors followed suit.

“Seniors! Skeleton warriors are moving!!”

“…uh? huh? Um… Skeleton warriors move, of course, right?”

Direth was a little taken aback, not understanding why Lee Han was doing this.

It’s like a friend who’s smart enough to be scouted by the Imperial Treasurer says, ‘Whoa! It was 1+1=2! I finally got it!’

Why are you so basic?

“I couldn’t move the original skeleton warriors.”

“you??”

‘Oops. Did he look too complacent?’

Lee Han felt sorry for Diret when he was surprised by his high-pitched voice.

It was not a good idea to appear so incompetent and lazy in front of seniors.

“Since I studied with other magics, the schedule was pushed back, but I was thinking of solving it soon. If only I had a little more time…”

“…Ah no. I don’t think I’m going to say that much…”

I was just surprised that Lee Han couldn’t move, I wouldn’t have been surprised if it was another junior.

And when I thought about it, I thought I knew why Lee Han couldn’t move that thing.

It was a skeleton warrior created by an ancient necromancer, not a normal undead summoning method, and he tried to control more than 10 of them at the same time…

No matter how talented he was, it was not an easy task.

It was even more surprising that he kept it.

‘I don’t think he noticed anything strange because he had so much magical power.’

Ordinarily, other black magicians would have been forced to learn humility, saying “Oh, I’m doing something wrong” after experiencing depletion or exhaustion a few times.

“Perhaps the reason why the control power has become stronger and more detailed is because of the dark element.”

Diret pushed the skeleton warrior lightly with the tip of his staff and explained.

It was only natural that the control over the summoned beasts would become stronger and more detailed as it was controlled not only with magic power, but also with the additional use of the dark element.

Of course, that amount of mana was consumed and the difficulty of magic increased, but it didn’t mean much to that junior.

The level of magic consumption or difficulty of magic had no effect.

“And I must have accumulated experience. You must have been constantly summoning skeletons all this time.”

“yes. The last time I was in distress, I summoned the skeleton warriors and fought the ghoul king.”

“…Uh uh…”

Diret tried not to panic, but he couldn’t control his expression when he heard the story that his junior teamed up with the skeleton warriors to face the king of ghouls.

But…

can I?

“Seniors. Now that I can move, I want to practice a little more.”

“hmm. okay. It’s a bit difficult here, so let’s move to another place.”

Diret led the way to a good place for juniors to command skeleton warriors.

‘If you want to test the skeleton warriors… Since the dark element is also included, you should consider that too. for a moment. There are a lot of numbers, so you should keep that in mind. The dungeon on the side of the ossuary is too low in difficulty. to the warehouse? Would that be too easy?’

Even while moving to another place, Diret didn’t notice.

The fact that he is now falling into the same trap as the professors he cursed at.

When you talk to a junior in front of you, you inadvertently raise the level of difficulty as if you were hypnotized.

* * *

Whoosh!

‘what?’

Lee Han was puzzled as he blocked the arrows flying overhead with his water shield.

The difficulty of the dungeon suddenly increased too much.

Of course, the first dungeon was to test the basic dark element curse doll, and now it was a dungeon to test the next step, the dark element skeleton warrior.

It was only natural that the level of difficulty would go up, but…

The difference in difficulty between the Vampire Weasel Dungeon earlier and the Wood Man Dungeon now completely exceeded expectations.

The moment the door of the dungeon was opened, the wooden soldiers waiting inside began pouring waves of attack like gears spinning in sync.

The wooden men in the front approached the magician with shields covering their bodies, the wooden men in the middle attacked with long spears, and the wooden men in the back fired crossbows continuously.

A normal wizard would have been embarrassed, but Lee Han had various strengthening magics applied before entering the dungeon.

With the addition of , , and , the reflex speed was comparable to that of a swordsman who reached the state of the art.

Overall enhanced physical abilities.

In addition, magic that detects enemy attacks.

Thanks to that, , which has become even more accurate, warned of the future. Lee Han quickly ran to the side and got out of attack range.

“For the skeleton warriors. Unfold your shield!”

Spreading a giant water shield in the air to further strengthen the defense, Lee Han advanced the skeleton warriors reinforced with the dark element.

‘It moves properly!’

It was honestly impressive to see the skeleton warriors advancing slowly but heavily in line.

It felt like the troubles accumulated while magic had failed were being compensated.

thud!

The wooden soldiers seemed to have been made with fairly strong magic, and as soon as they collided with the skeleton warriors, they overpowered them.

Even though they raised their shields, they could see the skeleton warriors being pushed back little by little.

But…

“Hold on!”

Lee Han had a corner to believe in.

As expected, I began to see that the soldiers who were in contact with the dark element slowed down little by little and lost their strength.

In the long run, this side has no choice but to have an advantage.

Lee Han, who endured and endured and finally defeated his opponent, looked at Diret with a sigh of relief.

“Seniors?”

Dereth stood by and said, ‘Wait, why did I bring this here? Isn’t the difficulty too high?’ I thought, then answered in surprise.

“huh?”

“thank you. By the way, is this the dark magic school’s dungeon?”

“You’re quick-witted. This is a dungeon managed by the endowment magic school.”

“ah. no wonder.”

It was a magic of considerable difficulty to artificially maintain that level of wooden soldiers.

It was understood that it was a dungeon managed by the Buyeo magic school.

“Senior, are you familiar with the Buyeo magic school?”

“no. They don’t socialize well.”

“Then how? ah.”

“okay?”

“Did we sneak in?”

Lee Han sent a meaningful look as if he knew.

Dereth paused for a moment, dumbfounded, before answering.

“…I came in after talking to Professor Verdus. Because you also hear the enchantment.”

“ah.”

Lee Han was slightly embarrassed.

“I think I checked, shall we go back?”

“Can I check a little more?”

“More here?”

Diret waved his wings and wondered.

I had already checked the command by moving the skeleton warriors forward and backward, but I didn’t understand what else they were trying to check.

Magic power…

‘No. Magical power will be fine.’

Are you trying to check bone-type weapons or how to use them?

“Can you do more?”

“yes.”

“okay. then.”

With Diret’s permission granted, Lee Han led the undead and went inside.

And a roar erupted.

Boom!!!!!

“…?!?!”

While Diret looked on in astonishment, Yihan, without blinking, advanced the remaining skeleton warriors toward the formation of the wooden men, which had been shattered by bone explosions.

‘If there is an explosion of this power, I’ll be able to survive somehow while wearing a shield.’

One skeleton warrior was consumed, but it was worth it. The speed of the wooden people slowed even more due to the explosion mixed with the dark element.

“Seniors. I’m trying to combine poison elements, but could you teach me… Senior? Senior?”
