The >Illusion of Runaway Azirmo>, taught directly by his crazy alter ego, was truly threatening.
The sight of it standing upright with its black scales and roaring was so real that even the Death Knights were momentarily taken aback.
-Did the owner leave it behind?
It’s the same, right!
Even while shouting like that, the blasphemer did not easily reveal himself from inside the portal.
If the opponent was a truly powerful dragon, there was no need to rush. A rash move could result in a fatal blow.
* * *
“I never thought I would use it like this!”
“… “You don’t like it now, do you?”
Lee Han looked at Rcicle’s cheers in bewilderment.
When a high-ranking undead appeared out of thin air, the first wizard the palace noticed was Ihan, followed by Alcicle.
The situation was realized only by the wave of contaminated magic power felt when the dimension was shaken.
-how!? You didn’t even approach me?
-We have to stop it first! When it comes down, it will hit the ceiling right here! Do you have any useful magic?
-It’s not that easy to find magic that can block such a powerful guy… ah! this! Let’s use this!
Fortunately for the two of them, there was >Illusion of Azirmo on the Run> and >Illusionary Descendence of the Ball of Fury>.
The magic prepared for use in the play was still intact.
-Good idea!
Lee Han nodded and immediately cast >Illusion of Runaway Azirmo>.
The illusion of a giant dragon erupted with a roar that shook the stage and seats, and rose through the ceiling.
When I went up and checked, I saw that the blasphemer who was trying to come down from the portal had switched to a wait-and-see attitude.
“Water, of course not! They’re like crazy devil worshipers! How did you succeed in summoning something like this??”
Alcicle seemed embarrassed to be cheering in this situation, so he changed his mind.
‘Sure… how did you really succeed?’
Since Lee Han is now a wizard in his own right, he can see how the summoning that just happened makes no sense.
There was no access, no preparation.
Access?
Death Knights were secretly surrounding and guarding the area near the palace, but who could have accessed it?
The preparation process was the same.
Even summoning a trivial sparrow spirit requires preparation, but a being of that caliber just pops out like this.
“That’s not important now. “We need to evacuate people!”
“Yeah, that’s right. let’s go!”
Alcicle nodded.
The reason I was trying to take time in the first place was because of the audience inside the palace.
Several Death Knights were also seen rushing into the palace while making time.
“Everyone, evacuate… ”
-Waaaaaaaa!
Clap clap clap clap!
The two who came back down were startled by thunderous applause.
The people sitting in the seats were applauding passionately.
‘Is this the curse of an evil god worshiper?!’
“I never thought there would be such a novel reinterpretation!”
“No matter what, isn’t it too much of a variation? A dragon? “It’s a childish idea that introducing a big, beautiful creature will make the play more intense!”
“You must be the one who is childish! The fact that the Alkarmata family had a connection to dragons is the hottest new hypothesis in current imperial history! This play boldly borrows that. “Isn’t this art?”
There were some who opposed it, but most were very impressed by the dragon that suddenly appeared.
Of course, the actors on stage were looking confused and embarrassed.
The dragon came out in a completely unexpected situation and soared up to the ceiling, so it was natural for it to do that.
Lee Han apologized in his heart.
‘sorry.’
-evacuation! evacuation! evacuation!
-Everybody get out! Einrogard students, chase the audience away as much as possible! If you don’t listen, you can use force!
The Death Knights who came down from the ceiling belatedly ordered evacuation.
The audience, who had enjoyed the highlights of a great play and were immersed in the afterglow, were surprised.
“Is there a problem?”
“Evil worshipers have attacked! “You must evacuate!”
“What a bunch of damn bastards! Stop this masterpiece!?”
Some of the audience protested that they had to see the end of this masterpiece even at the risk, but the students immediately kicked them out.
When Nilia kicked three people at the same time, the nobles next to her exclaimed.
“That’s the kick of the Northern Mountain Range Patrol… ”
“Move!”
“Oh, I understand.”
Not everyone was so crazy about theater that they risked their lives. Among the audience trying to leave the theater, some people were frightened by the loud noise and vibrations coming from above.
“Sir, are you okay?”
“It’s okay, it’s okay. Breathing… I can’t breathe… “Just rest a little and you’ll be fine.”
“liquid medicine! “Go to the bathroom and get the potion!”
“Shh. Speak quietly, idiot! “There’s no need to mention the bathroom!”
The Einrogard students quickly ran to the bathroom and brought back the entire potion they had secretly made earlier.
They floated a small pot in the air and made the fallen people drink it or poured it into the faces of panicked people.
Thanks to this, order was established in the chaotic procession of people due to the hasty evacuation. Asan shouted, scraping the bottom of the empty pot with a ladle.
“I used up all the potion!”
“I don’t think I need to use it anymore. Everyone is okay… ”
“no!”
One of the audience members intervened in the students’ conversation.
Looking at the speckled scars left on his fingers, it was obvious that he was involved in alchemy.
“No one can predict how this situation will grow. “I need to make more potions just in case!”
I don’t know what kind of being appeared above the palace, but its ominous intimidation definitely stimulated people.
It would be fortunate if the Death Knights could finish off the enemy on top of the palace, but if not, they had to prepare for another situation.
Starting with healing potions, you need to make as many potions as possible to prepare for various conditions.
“but… “We no longer have the materials we brought with us!”
“Do not worry. My name is O’Neill. We are supplying reagents to the Makin family’s alchemy workshop. I’ll give you as much reagent as I can. “Follow me!”
“I will help too! “I am supplying alchemy tools!”
The audience members who were evacuating immediately came together and escaped outside, taking the Einrogard students with them.
The students in the potion escape party who were caught up in the current and were being dragged along suddenly realized something.
‘… Uh, isn’t it possible to just leave after making this potion?’
Could this be what Wardanaz was talking about?!
* * *
-Students, take the audience with you and escape!
The students from the noble dazzle party hurriedly brought the audience out.
After opening the carriage door, calming down the vehicles, and letting the audience in, people asked in earnest voices.
“Please come with me!”
“yes? “We have to stay now and help the drivers!”
“B-but! “There could be enemies waiting outside!”
“The drivers have clearly patrolled (to prevent our escape), so you don’t have to worry!”
“but… but… !”
The terrified audience wanted the Einrogard students to stay by their side.
The Death Knights shouted harshly.
-Escort me!
“yes?”
-Fantasy wizards, go out together! Escort the audience and evacuate each one!
The distracted Death Knights above the palace flew away again as if they would not listen to any more questions.
It seemed like permission had not been granted, so the audience grabbed the students one by one and put them on the carriage.
“Please take care of me!”
“Oh, I understand.”
The students escaped outside, calming the terrified audience and some illusion wizards.
And then I thought to myself.
‘for a moment. This seems similar to the plan Wodanaz mentioned.’
Are you saying you thought this far and made a plan?!
* * *
The dwarven tunnel party Salko belonged to was dealing with the most difficult audience.
These were crazy people trying to watch during this time.
“Ugh! no! “I will see the end of the play!”
“What nonsense are you talking about because all the actors have left!”
The palace ceiling was shaking and the sounds coming from above were getting louder, but the faces of the Einrogard students turned grim when they saw those who were stubborn.
“I can’t help it. Deal with it the Einrogard way.”
“What is that? Are you casting an invisibility spell and letting me watch?”
The nobles, who were blind to the world, were unable to understand what threat was coming even though the Einroguard students were approaching with their sleeves rolled up.
At that moment, the ceiling of the palace was torn apart.
Trickery!
Only then did the blasphemer, who realized that he had been deceived, descend again in anger.
At first, I thought the dragon had really ambushed me, but the dragon didn’t attack me while I was lingering behind the portal.
It was too cautious to call it a real dragon. The Desecrator blasted the ceiling of the palace with his mist of corruption and pried his body out of the portal. Humiliation and anger flashed in the huge eyes attached to the huge belly.
“Once more!”
“But will he be fooled?”
“There’s nothing to lose, right?”
“That’s right! Cast it!”
Alcicle casted >Wrathball’s Illusionary Descent>. The floor where the magic circle was carved was crushed by the impact of magical power, and a huge demon jumped out of the palace.
The blasphemer was shocked and retreated again.
As with any other being, the devil was a frequent servant of the Empire’s leading wizards. He could never be underestimated.
“evil… Even the devil!”
“That’s not what the play is about!”
The students shouted, but the already immersed audience did not hear them.
Salchow exchanged glances with his seniors. Her wand swung with a thud.
“I’m taking you out!”
“Shall we go towards the front door?”
“no. late! It is difficult to fight while protecting the general public. Let’s escape through the tunnel. “You can complete it right away, right?”
“yes!”
The seniors, who saw the desecrator’s army falling all over the palace, made a quick decision.
Since we were the last audience left here anyway, it made sense to escape through the tunnel.
“For now, let’s send these guys back to the mansion.”
“All right. Then take as many gold coins as you need?”
“… … ”
The seniors looked at Salko with puzzled eyes. Salchow quickly excused himself.
“It was a joke.”
“haha! “It was a funny joke!”
* * *
“I think it’s all gone. “Let us join the war.”
“yes!”
“… for a moment. I guess I just spoke roughly because I was excited. I meant ‘I’ and not ‘we’… ”
Alcicle immediately came to his senses and spoke to Lee Han.
I thought for a moment that Stedahl was a nobleman with a cynical and rough appearance, but it was right for Lee Han to evacuate as well.
However, Lee Han began his next task even before hearing Alcicle’s words.
“Sharkhan!”
An obsidian mirror spewing smoke appeared above Lee Han, and the portal began to split.
A beast of death and darkness jumped out from within, screaming.
– Blasphemer! You probably mocked the downfall of a wild beast last time?!
cat!
The strong men of the undead world recognized each other and launched deadly attacks.
The beast glared at the desecrator, ignoring his whining that he was worried about Sharkan.
-The guy’s power is great. you are a wizard It will be impossible to maintain the beast for long, so it must be brought to an end quickly.
“It’s okay, so fight slowly! “Never be in a hurry!”
Lee Han said so and prepared for the next summons.
The beast of death and darkness couldn’t help but blink its huge eyes in confusion at that attitude.
