“Did your senior tell you to do it?”
“If that’s what it means to be… no. done. Junior. Be quiet and focus on control. It must be difficult right now.”
Dirett was right.
Unlike the stable form of the water ball, the dark ball was fluctuating quite unstable.
It felt like it was going to lose its shape at any time and scatter in all directions at any time.
“In this state… it would be unreasonable to fly, and if it was used, would it be close-quarters combat? Junior. Are you good at fighting?”
Gainando and Ymirg were cool at the same time at the random question.
“I only learned it for self-defense.”
“Well, since it’s a noble family, I wouldn’t have learned swordsmanship.”
Again, both friends were cool at the same time.
“Mages don’t have to be good at fighting, but sometimes they do close-quarters combat. In such a case, this kind of magic is more useful than you think. Junior. It would be more stable if treated with enchantment magic, but I can’t hope for that now.”
“If that’s the case, wouldn’t the fire element be better?”“There are many enemies who can withstand the element of fire better than you think.”
Starting with monsters with resistance to fire, seasoned adventurers usually had one or two defenses against fire.
It was an element that was easy to meet in real life.
“indeed…”
“Junior. How long are you holding on to the dark element… quickly release it.”
Lee Han, who was admiring, came to his senses at Dirett’s point and released the Dark Element.
“Coming back to the story we talked about earlier, it’s good to use an item that is polarized when a problem arises due to not being able to prevent it in advance, but if you know how to handle dark elements, you can do this.”
Dirett looked around at the remnants of Ihan’s dark element explosion earlier and grabbed the staff.
“Dark. Gather at this end.”
Instead of summoning elements of water or fire, magic that controls existing water or flames.
“Are you collecting all the dark elements around you?”
“You got it right. It creates a kind of vacuum. If the dark element is preempted by the wizard first, the undead and their family will be quite vulnerable.”
The undead had extreme strengths and weaknesses.
When dealing with such beings, it was more effective to stab a weak point than to hit it with a strong force.
If I had known this method when dealing with the ghoul king, it would have been much more effective than turning the cave into a sea of fire.
‘After all, knowledge is power.’
“Isn’t it interesting, Gainando?”
“uh? huh? uh huh.”
Guy Nando, who was sleeping while yawning next to him, was surprised to answer Lee Han’s question.
He didn’t really care about the dark element or anything.
“…this child…”
“calm down. Junior. It’s something you don’t need to learn now. Studying other things can only get complicated in your head.”
When Lee Han tried to pick up the staff, Dirett stopped him. Gainando was deeply moved.
‘Sun, senior…!’
“I. Wizards??”
The captured adventurers with shovels spoke carefully.
Lee Han answered in a sullen voice.
“ah. You said you’d send it out today.”
“It’s not me… I keep hearing strange noises from inside the tower…”
“!!!”
* * * *
The cemetery outside the city of Granden was not the only graveyard.
There were several small towers inside as well as the wall surrounding the tomb.
It was used as a resting place for cemetery keepers, as a place to put equipment, or as a core when warlocks cast large-scale spells on the cemetery.
Of course, the body was not kept inside.
‘then…’
“Did you check the magic power?”
Di Lett cast off the face of a senior who taught his juniors and returned as a warlock in charge of managing the cemetery.
Lee Han took out a piece of paper on which he took notes and answered while checking it.
“Yes. The towers that I heard the sound of were either Tower 1 or Tower 2, both of which had normal horsepower.”
“What if a monster that was hiding among the luggage came in while moving the luggage?”
“In case that happens, we have dismantled and dispersed the baggage that obscured the view. I cast and checked the dark vision magic on the space-aware magic, and I closed the window after I finished, so I think that’s unlikely.”
“……”
He was trying to concentrate seriously, but Dirett couldn’t stand the tickling feeling of pride again.
Among the other schools that boast a lot of new students, there is probably no junior like that.
To be honest, I wanted to take it out and brag about it.
‘ah. But that junior is listening to all the other schools as well….’
Dirette, who later realized the reality, was bitter.
“senior?”
“Those adventurers heard it wrong.”
“Oh, no! We all heard it right!”
“Or from outside.”
“Is that possible?”
Ian was puzzled.
I don’t know if it’s hiding among the luggage, or it’s a monster that invaded from outside.
Even though it was a remote place, it was definitely inside the city. There was a high possibility that monsters would be slaughtered in less than 30 minutes if they wandered around the main road.
“I doubt that too. Junior.”
“Aren’t those people wrong?”
“Hey, maybe this?”
Ymir said, raising her hand.
“A, sometimes even the soil in the basement moves. Here, there’s a corpse in the basement. If the underground soil moves and is pushed out of the cemetery…”
“!”
If the underground soil was pushed out and the position of the corpse moved, and if, unfortunately, magical energy accumulated around it, the undead could have been created outside the cemetery rather than inside the cemetery.
“Is that plausible?”
“Well done. Junior.”
“Gam, thank you.”
Ymir He blushed at Lee Han and Di Let’s praise.
However, Gainando glared at Ymirg.
“Why why?”
“…from now on, you will be my rival.”
“……”
Rapadel had already beaten him (at least he thought so), and for Gainando, who decided to just exclude Lee Han, Ymirg’s performance was an action that could not be left unattended.
“huh. Let’s compete to see who is the first in true black magic.”
“Hey, that’s just Wodanaj…”
“I go on a search. Undead, reveal yourself!”
With the spell, a wave spread from Dirett’s staff.
And from the upper floors of Tower No. 2, there was a shattering sound with a flash.
“!!”
“It’s over there! let’s go!”
“Please wait a moment! Just in case you don’t know, you have to put up your defenses and go.”
At Lee Han’s words, Dirett stopped.
‘What kind of defense magic are you going to use?’
Even if it was the same defensive magic, it was better for Dirette, a 4th grader, to use it, but the opponent was not an ordinary junior.
Dirett honestly wondered what kind of defensive magic Lee Han would use.
This time, I will show you magic that exceeds expectations…
“hey! Adventurers! Take the lead!”
“……”
“Why?”
“Nothing.”
* * * *
Lee Han, Dirett, and the adventurers go to the top of the tower.
Ymirg and Gainando are outside the tower.
Running up the stairs quickly, Lee Han asked.
“He would know that his location was discovered, but wouldn’t he run away?”
“It is unlikely. Junior. He woke up outside the cemetery and came inside to increase his strength on purpose. It’s warlike and fearless.”
“indeed.”
It was possible to roughly grasp the characteristics of the undead just by the reaction he showed when he woke up.
If he tried to quickly move away from the summoned place, he was cautious and cowardly, and if he tried to take a seat instead of moving away, it was the other way around.
In this case, he was more likely to be a belligerent and greedy guy, as he was trying to absorb the magical energy flowing through the cemetery and increase his power.
-■■■■■!!
“Aww!”
“appear!!!”
The adventurers who climbed in front screamed.
A gigantic undead slid down from the upper stairway as if it was rolling down. Seeing this, Dirett let out a moan.
“Damn… it’s an undead chimera.”
The result of combining strong negative magical powers with torn and crushed corpses instead of combining them with a single corpse.
As the personality of several individuals is mixed, it is difficult for a wizard to predict and deal with.It was tricky.
Dirett immediately prepared a weakening spell for the undead chimera.
“Degradation…”
bang!
An explosion occurred inside the body of the undead chimera, and about a quarter of it flew away.
The undead Chimera, who gained her momentum from the explosion, collided with the tower’s walls instead of crushing her adventurers at once. The weakened part of the wall collapsed, leaving a hole.
“?!?!”
When the vicious man broke through the wall of the tower and escaped, even sacrificing part of his body, Lee Han and Dirett were taken aback.
You haven’t even fought yet, so why are you running away all of a sudden?!
“…senior. Can you please listen without getting angry?”
“Why am I mad at you? It’s okay to just say it! What?”
“Perhaps he saw me and ran away…”
“……”
For a moment, Dirett almost got angry that it was time to joke.
The adventurers standing in front of them murmured unknowingly.
“Wow, indeed.”
“What is it?”
“Sin… I’m sorry!”
“Among the undead, there are some who are excellent at detecting magic. It seems that he grasped my magic and ran away.”
“…!”
It was then that Dirett understood Lee Han’s words.
If it’s not just a vicious and warlike guy, but a guy who has the ability to detect magic and is intelligent enough to understand it and retreat…
“Things are going to get messy. Junior.”
– He runs away!! It runs away!! hey this child! Can’t stand there! Shoot, Bones! Ymirg! Throw anything! Throw rocks!
-Well, if you throw it wrong, people shouldn’t get hurt…!
* * * *
Dirett and Lee Han, who came down from the tower, immediately started tracking.
“Call the city guard that an undead chimera may have appeared. Let’s track it our way. Junior.”
“All right.”
“Thank you, Wizard!” The gravekeepers bowed their heads in gratitude.
Originally, this was the responsibility of the gravekeepers.
It should have been well checked from time to time so that the undead does not occur.
Of course, the cemetery was also an unfortunate matter.
Who would have known that the undead would be summoned from outside the cemetery because of the soil that moved underground.
But even so, it is true that when a problem occurs and the damage becomes large, you are responsible for it.
But when the warlocks offered to help, I couldn’t help but be grateful.
“You don’t have to thank everyone. Because this is what warlocks are supposed to do.”
“Wow, really…”
Lee Han intervened firmly when the senior seemed to suffer losses with too much integrity.
“But I think everyone should know who solved this. Tell the city guards the truth, and that they should be treated with respect worthy of their honor.”
“All right!”
Dirette looked at her junior as if embarrassed.
What are you talking about right now?
“senior. No matter how urgent it is, we must deliver the necessary information.”
“No… is that necessary…? Let’s go first!”
Dirett traced the magic left behind by the undead Chimera.
The guy who had escaped from the cemetery was running away from the main road and running into an alleyway.
“If you can feel the magic and know how to avoid it, you know instinctively that of course you have to avoid people. It’s a pain in the ass if you hide.”
“I’m sure you can catch it.”
“That would be good. In the city, it’s hard to track even if it’s a little late… Oops. this.”
Di Lett clicked his tongue.
He got out of the alley at best, but the place he entered was the guild warehouse site.
“Why? Let me tell you the situation.”
“It will be difficult. Junior.”
The guild was stubborn in this area.
He let outsiders in andIf there is a problem with the person or the confidentiality is leaked, that is a bigger problem.
Even if the undead chimera escaped and entered, there was a high possibility that they would insist on catching each other.
“I’ll tell you anyway.”
“Okay. give it a try Instead, don’t get too hung up on it. anyway…”
After a while, Lee Han returned.
“It’s okay. Come in.”
“?!?!”
