Chapter 33: Attack of the Necromancer (5)

"Ahh!"

Kwadeuk!

A prison of pure white bones rose from the ground.

An almost cheat magic that could be cast in just 0.5 seconds and locked the target's coordinates.

The only way to deal with it was to react as quickly as possible and get out.

[Flash]

I avoided it by taking shelter behind a rock, but at that time, a sharp bone spear spun around and flew in my direction.

Quadd!! Fortunately, the bone spear that gnawed at the rock like a drill did not reach my head.

"Whoa..."

I breathed heavily.

I nearly died.

And it looks like hes about to die soon.

After all, just like me, the other party was also exhausted.

In the first place, he scattered most of his mana on the land while expanding his territory, lost a Skeleton General connected to his neural network, and suffered internal injuries while trying to unreasonably summon elite skeletons.

[Flash]

Quadduk!

As proof of that, Bae-Hyuks bone shield, which should not have been scratched by my poor Argento sword, was being broken.

Of course, my efforts also contributed.

It was because I brought a lot of 'Cola Potions' prepared only to deal with the necromancer.

Called Calcium Melting Potion in technical terms, it had the effect of halving the power of bone magic and melting the defensive layer.

"A rat-like bastard..."

Fast. Too fast. A mage who used Flash. It was an enemy of a kind he had never faced before.

Even if he grabbed me with the palm made of bones, the next second, I teleported to another spot, and even if he dropped a barrier of bones at me, I would fly high into the sky and attack from the air.

The moment he lost his mind even for a moment, I was already aiming for his blind spot, and even if he tried to deploy his defensive shield as much as possible, I always caught and attacked that minute gap.

'If only I had been in perfect condition...!

If that was the case, no matter how fast he was, I would have been able to catch him right away. The current situation is the worst.

The truth was resentful, but at the moment he had to use all that was available.

Bone Arrows!

Bae-Hyuk created dozens of bone arrows in the air and aimed them at me.

Shua! Dozens of arrows flew in an instant, but I used Flash to avoid the targeted spot.

'As expected!

After using Flash once, the minimum delay between using the next Flash was 1.5 seconds!

And, it was a delay caused by the preparation to calculate the distance and for canceling the Flash.

Now!'

Bae-Hyuk fired an arrow that he had intentionally spared in his arsenal.

I, who reacted belatedly, quickly tried to slash it off with Argento sword, but I couldn't read the flow of mana properly, so the only thing I could do was change the trajectory and deflect it.

Tung!

Ouch!

It lightly brushed my shoulder, and blood dripped out.

No matter how weak and tired he was, in the end, he was a Class 5 mage.

'... But, in other words, even though hes a Class 5 mage, hes only so-so.

I gritted my teeth and scattered the Flame Potion in my waists pocket. The Class 1 flame rose, but there was no significant blow to Bae-Hyuk.

However, thanks to the rising smoke, it was very effective in obstructing the view and distracting him.

I took out a dagger from my bosom, and after throwing it at Bae-Hyuk, I used Flash to move backwards.

Bae-Hyuk threw a potion at the dagger, and a small explosion occurred.

"This!"

Bae-hyuk hurriedly set up a Bone Shield, but during the short delay, I approached and inserted a sword into his waist.

Fu-wook!

"Kuhhh...!

Missed. I tried to properly aim for his lower back, but landed a hit on his side. Then, I tried to leave immediately, but later realized that Flash was on cooldown.

Oh shit!'

The result of giving up that brief gap came back immediately.

A bone spike surged up from the bottom of Bae-Hyuks sole at high speed and penetrated my thigh!

I gritted my teeth in pain and jumped back with all my might, and knelt on one knee.

By now, the Stella students scattered all over the place should be defeating the Necromancer's forces individually... Indeed, was there anyone who could help him?

Should I?

Can Baek Yu-Seol survive alone until we go?

......

Officially, Baek Yu-Seol was a Class 1 mage. However, the opponent was a necromancer at the level of a whopping Class 5.

The difference in level was so serious that it could be considered a fight between a child with a toy and an adult with a knife.

However, there was no way to stop it now.

They also had to deal with dozens of skeletons in addition to two elite skeletons.

She was in a situation where her hands were tied.

Princess

I have no time to pay attention to that! Concentrate on the enemy in front of you!

The group members raised their trembling hands at Hong Bi-Yeona remarks. However, they could see how much mana she had left, and their hands trembled less. It must have been the first time they had been in real combat, but it was good that they had endured this far.

The other team wasn't doing well either.

Edna hugged Jecky, who had a wound in her abdomen, and stepped back while gritting her teeth tightly.

Kurreung... Kwaauk!!

Three skeletons were smashed by Haewonryang's staff, but five skeletons filled their spot the next moment.

'As expected, I can't...'

It was impossible to deal with a necromancer with only thirteen students.

There was no way...... no hope.

Ouch!

He got hit with a stick wielded by a skeleton.

As soon as she saw Haewon-ryang fall backwards due to the impact, she approached him and spread a protective shield.

kook!!

Ugh...!

When the group of skeletons started knocking on the light shield, which was too cramped for only three people, it quickly began to crack and shatter.

They were in a situation where they did not have a shred of mana to perform a counterattack. Edna hugged Jecky and Haewon-ryang, who were younger than her, and bowed her head.

Please, someone please

Help me.

I want to shout like that.

Suddenly, all the noises stopped for a few seconds.

"....... Uh?"

Sensing something strange, she slowly raised her head.

"What is this...?" The numerous skeleton soldiers surrounding her... they all stood still.

As if time had stopped.

Soon.

Skeletons crumbled to the floor with a sound. Like dolls with a broken thread.

This cant be...!

Rising from the ground first, she supported Haewon-ryang and Jecky to their feet, then moved quickly by supporting her body with her staff.

Hong Bi-Yeon and her group members; Eisel, Denmark, and Ben were staggering toward her, as if she wasnt the only one who noticed that the situation had changed.

They finally reached the center.

At that time.

They saw an unbelievable sight.

A sword shining with colorless halo was inserted into Bae-Hyuks chest. And Baek Yu-Seol was holding it.

The scene signified only one thing.

'Baek Yu-Seol defeated the necromancer.

After confirming that fact, they heard someone slump down on the ground. They acted like dominoes in a chain, and likewise, a series of sounds were heard.

We lived. I lived...

Huh......

How the hell did a freshman in the first year defeat the Necromancer?

Those questions didn't matter at that moment.

They survived. That fact alone touched their heart.

Aaaaaa!!

Some shouted triumphantly, some wept, and some embraced and rejoiced.

Now, it was okay. They were fine.
