Chapter 549

Chapter 549

Yoner looked at his friend slightly suspiciously, but he couldn’t stay that way for long.

Other undead began creeping out of the forest.

“An elemental taint? …is it dark?”

Lee Han frowned and muttered.

People in the empire thought that cold spirits would become active in the cold winter, but in fact, that was only half true.

Winter is a season to awaken more diverse beings than you might think.

Wind-type spirits showed up more often in areas where sharp winds blew right away, and in the mine area, there were cases where spirits of rock or metal elements roamed vigorously.

And among them, the most troublesome case was the undead.

It was not just cold or wind that symbolized winter. Among them was death.

Few things frighten the people of the Empire more than the risen Undead hiding themselves in the long winter night.

Of course, Professor Thunderwalk has prevented the undead from resurrecting in the nearby forest, but there are always exceptions.

The elemental taint now roaming in front of me was such a being.

A monster of irregular shape, in which spirits that have gone berserk or become violent due to the strong flow of magical energy in the area are entangled with other beings.

It was not a common undead as it was mixed with spirits, so ordinary prevention methods did not work well.

In addition, the pollutant in front of him was a dark-type spirit and an undead entwined.

In the first place, most of the spirits hated the undead, so even if they ran rampant, they wouldn’t get close to them…

“Dark-type spirits?!”

Priestess Cyana opened her eyes wide in surprise.

Lightning-type spirits are rare enough to be hard to see, but dark elements are even rarer.

“I know it’s strange, but I don’t think now is the time for that!”

Yoner hurriedly took out the potion inside and shouted.

Black shimmering elemental contaminants were gradually crawling out of the forest.

■■!

█████…

Some of the elemental corruptors took an interest in the hut, but some fought back and forth.

An elemental taint in the form of a beetle, the size of a full-grown pig, attacked the taint next to it, and the taint countered and swung its hind legs.

“Here’s the ignition potion!”

“thank you! Maykin!”

Yoner handed Priestess Cyana the ignition potion she usually carries for self-defense.

This potion, which burned fiercely when the flask broke and came into contact with air, was a good potion to use anywhere in Einrogard.

In particular, if it is a dark spirit contaminant, it will be weak against elements such as fire and light.

“Uh Yoner? I am?”

Lee Han tilted his head as he cast a strengthening spell on the two friends with his staff.

Yoner naturally did not give Lee Han.

“huh? …ah! here!”

Yoner belatedly remembered that Yihan could also use an ignition potion.

He’s a friend who knows how to fight well, so the thought of needing a potion didn’t come to his mind.

“……”

“I was… I was going to give it to you… Really.”

“okay. thank you.”

Lee Han looked out the cabin window.

The number of contaminants with different appearances was increasing. It was no exaggeration to say that this was a bunch of contaminants.

‘I don’t think it’s a level that happens by chance. Wasn’t there someone among my seniors who, while researching the dark element, just threw it away in the forest?’

In that case, Lee Han intended to show the anger of the seniors and juniors.

I’m still having a hard time, but what kind of nuisance are you talking about?

And when a commotion like this happens, it is always the first graders who suffer the most.

Even if all kinds of ferocious monsters passed by in the dormitory or the courtyard of the main building, the senior students of Einrogard had the ability to lightly take off at least one of their bodies.

“Let’s stay inside until the professor comes.”

“Will the professor come?”

“If you don’t come, your hut will be destroyed, so you will come.”

“……”

“……”

The two tried to ask, ‘Did you fight with Professor Wodanaz?’, but refrained.

Regardless of Lee Han’s words, it was a strategically correct choice to hold on in the present.

It wasn’t a wise thing to show your face when hordes of intellectless monsters were roaming around outside.

The standard was to move slowly and carefully after the group of monsters moved to another place.

■■■■…!

“!”

The spirit in the form of a squirrel, which came to the hut earlier to play a prank, but withdrew because of the elimination potion, reappeared.

The squirrel spirit seemed to be frightened when the pollutants roamed around, and tried to keep them in check by creating snowflakes everywhere.

“no!”

“then…!”

The students sighed when they saw it.

No matter how scared you are, to attract attention in front of pollutants like that.

It was stupid.

In fact, the Dark Spirit Contaminants, who were acting independently, recognized the Squirrel Spirit in an instant and started chasing it.

“I need help.”

Yoner carefully opened the cabin door and prepared to leave.

If you lightly touch the magic circle around it, you can let the squirrel spirit inside.

“that’s right. Because the spirits do not forget grace. If you save me, I will definitely repay you.”

Lee Han muttered as he followed his friends to the vegetable garden.

Priest Shiana said, ‘Can we really trust the spirits? These ungrateful bastards?’

“Lee Han. I’ll do it.”

Yoner felt that Lee Han had accumulated a lot of spirits and tried to send them back.

If the squirrel spirit that he had saved so far had bitten Lee Han’s hand, he might not be able to turn it back.

In the future, there might be a great wizard with a title like < Element Slayer > or < Elim Hater >…

“No. I did the installation myself, so it’s faster for me to help. I’m going to stop the flow for a moment, can you give me some cover?”

“Lee Han. Even if that spirit comes in now and shows violent behavior, that’s the current situation…”

“What are you talking about?”

Yihan was dumbfounded and looked at Yoner.

In a situation where he had to concentrate and stop the magic circle for a moment and let the spirit inside, Yoner was talking about something else.

“…Nothing. Ready!”

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-

Yoner, who was covering Lee Han with a staff and an ignition potion, admired the change in the magic circle.

To stop a magic circle so large and complex that it covered the whole area so easily.

It was basic to fully understand the structure of the magic circle, and it was only possible if you could freely touch the flow by inserting your own magic power.

He suddenly felt that the friend who had been grumbling about the spirits until just now was one of the best magical geniuses in the empire.

Priest Shiana seemed to think so as well, staring at the magic circle with admiration.

“come in!”

Yihan suppressed the magic circle with force and shouted to the squirrel spirit.

The squirrel spirit, who had been being chased for a long time, heard Lee Han’s voice belatedly and turned his gaze toward the cabin.

“Come this way!”

“Hurry!”

Priests Yoner and Cyana also beckoned to come quickly.

When the squirrel spirit started running, they both let out a sigh of relief.

Lee Han muttered.

“You’re ignoring me when I ask you to come, even though your life is in danger.”

“…Oh no. It must have been a coincidence.”

“But he didn’t come when Mr. Wodanaz called…”

“Priestess Cyana…!”

Yoner looked resentfully at Priestess Cyana, who was suddenly interfering with her work.

However, Priest Shiana also had her own thoughts.

“But I think it’s rather bad if this is forced to take sides. To be honest, I am a little ungrateful.”

“That’s true…”

“Children. I’m really fine.”

Lee Han sighed and looked at his friends.

Of course, the spirits were too cold-hearted compared to the sincerity Lee Han showed, but Lee Han wasn’t weak enough to keep worrying about it.

What if the spirit doesn’t like Lee Han?

Lee Han had to follow Lee Han’s path.

On the contrary, it was more painful to see my friends keep paying attention to me like that.

“The spirits may be a bit reluctant to me. So don’t worry about it that much.”

“Sorry. Lee Han.”

Yoner looked at Lee Han with the intention of apologizing.

I made it even more uncomfortable by trying to care for my friend.

“no. I have nothing to apologize for. Just be honest.”

“huh. I will.”

Priest Cyana, who was listening to the conversation between the two, asked Yoner slightly.

“So you didn’t come when I called you earlier, right?”

“huh.”

Yihan’s expression slightly wavered at Yoner’s words.

Tak-

In the meantime, the squirrel spirit passed through the magic circle. Lee Han quickly activated the magic circle again.

The pollutants chased the squirrel spirit and circled around them, screaming at the visceral, unpleasant aura they sensed.

“Don’t be afraid. We are not your enemies.”

“that’s right. look.”

Priests Yoner and Cyana spread their hands as if to appease the frightened squirrel spirit. Sёarᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Frightened spirits were often even more dangerous. If you touch it wrong, it will go out of control and start a riot.

-……

The squirrel spirit looked around and grasped the situation, then climbed up Lee Han’s ankle and stopped at the wrist.

Then, he shook his head as if thanking him.

“…????”

“Lee-Lee-Han!”

“This is a miracle!”

“Priestess Siana…”

“It’s not a miracle, it’s a half miracle…?”

The conversation between the two could not be heard in Lee Han’s ears. Only the squirrel spirit rubbing his head was visible.

“Lee Han… isn’t she crying?”

“…no. Dust got into your eyes.”

The basilisk in its sleeve hissed.

He didn’t like how Lee Han was fond of ungrateful spirits.

Either that or not, the squirrel spirit stuck to Lee Han and didn’t fall off.

“Mrs. Wardanaz. I guess I’ll have to go inside. Over there…”

Priestess Siana called Lee Han and stretched out her finger.

I could see the contaminants deep in the forest wandering around to see if they were chasing other spirits.

Right now, the contaminants weren’t coming inside, but if more gathered and the number increased, someone might break through as ignorantly as before.

“Is it another chased spirit?”

“well? Maybe not?”

“Let’s help.”

“…uh? yes?”

Priestess Cyana was taken aback.

Things were a bit different now than before.

Previously, the nearby contaminants suddenly opened the magic circle in a situation where the three were not interested, and now the contaminants are screaming and staring at the cabin.

It was a much more dangerous situation than before.

“This much can be prevented. trust me. Priestess Cyana.”

“I believe it, but… aren’t you overdoing it?”

“no. that’s enough. And we can’t just watch innocent spirits being reverse-summoned by Corruptors.”

The squirrel spirit was moved and clung to Yihan.

“……”

“…yes… I will prepare.”

* * *

Professor Thunderstruck yelled annoyed at the suddenly appearing contaminants.

“go away!”

Blowing the magic trumpets caused the contaminants to vomit and shrivel.

“I swear by the beard of a fantastic ancestor, if the students summoned you, I will definitely pay you back!”

The dwarf professor rode the summoned spirit deer and moved quickly.

There was no time to delay as there were many huts built within the school grounds.

Running along the ridge and checking the huts in the three forests, Professor Thunderwalk belatedly remembered his first-year students.

‘Oops!’

The huts of the disciples located on the other side were also close to the forest, so there was a high possibility that they would be swept away first if this happened.

‘no. Because there’s a magic circle and there’s a guy called Wodanaz.’

When I thought of Wodanaz, I felt much more reassured. Professor Thunderwalk turned the direction of the spirit deer and hurriedly ran away.

‘As expected…’

The appearance of the cabin came in from afar. Seeing that it was fine, it must be okay…

Kwajijijik…

“…Was there a war?!”

Professor Thunderwalker was really surprised when the empty lot in front of the cabin turned into a puddle of miserable ruins, as if he had been attacked by some kind of attack.

Have you ever had a fight like this?
