Usually, the attitude of a wizard who summoned a powerful being from another dimension was to remain still.
It wasn’t because the wizard was lazy. Invoking a powerful being, even with all the restrictions and powers of consciousness, was an act that placed a huge burden on mortals, and doing anything else while doing this was not a good option.
However, Lee Han tried to summon additional Perkuntra like a child learning summoning magic for the first time.
Although he didn’t have much experience fighting against transcendents, this was one of the lessons Lee Han learned.
Use all possible means to quickly defeat them in the beginning!
The importance of going first in magic battles was something I learned from Professor Boladi so that it was engraved in my bones. The strategy of the weak was to take advantage of that right to go first and pour out as much as possible.
-What a stupid…
When the beast tried to scold the wizard for his foolishness, Sharkan whined again.
The beast growled in annoyance due to the whining of its foolish clone crying inside.
-It came out like this, so stop whining! There’s still a fight… Are you okay?
The beast was taken aback by the unexpected words.
Surprisingly, Sharkan was shouting that it was okay for wizards to fight the enemy.
Normally, he would have been happy that he had finally abandoned the useless mortal, but the beast sensed that was not the case.
Why on earth is it okay?
-… good night. Even if the wizard’s life goes out like a candle, the beast will not be held responsible!
Dumb, rice, la!
The blasphemer stared at the beast and shouted.
The size of the blasphemer who had squeezed himself out of the portal was inflated almost like a balloon, decorating the air.
The blasphemer, who took the form of a fat headless giant, poured out the energy of corruption and depravity around him every time he wriggled, and from that energy a new army was born.
He was a blasphemer who looked as if he would attack the Death Knights who had surrounded him with chains and siege weapons at any moment, but he was surprisingly cautious.
This was because not only the anger ball but also the familiar enemy, the undead beast, was right in front of them.
-Anger ball? Was Gonadaltes summoned? Anyway, how dare you leave such a monster in the hands of mere minions?
“!”
Lee Han flinched even though he was preparing to be summoned.
‘What do you mean?’
Minutes, no, balls!
Perhaps thinking that it would be at a disadvantage to face two strong men while surrounded by Death Knights, Desecrator took the lead.
He stopped summoning his forces and concentrated his strength to attack the Fury Ball.
-It’s moving!
The Death Knights were busy preventing the army pouring in from the air from escaping the palace and sealing the portal with chains, but they still did not miss a counterattack on the blasphemer who had revealed a loophole.
As the ballista, engraved with magic circles and ancient letters, fired projectiles, a bloody sound came from the blasphemer’s body.
The blasphemer cried out in pain, but did not stop. The intention was to make sure that the anger ball ended no matter how many hits he received.
The beast inflated its body. The darkness of the night colored the body, and in an instant, its size increased dozens of times. He looked as if he could swallow the moon.
Quack!
It seemed as if about a quarter of the blasphemer’s body had been blown away by the biting attack just now.
However, even though the blasphemer screamed in pain, he did not stop moving. In fact, the injured area regenerated more quickly.
-… Prahgal?! His power!?
Young, Lee, do it!
The beast could not tell whether the blasphemer was praising him or showing off his own intelligence in collusion with Prahgal.
I heard rumors that he was hanging out with or making contracts with evil god worshipers, but it was a different story to say that he colluded to the point of borrowing their power.
The evil spirit was basically a thought form created by condensing evil and negative emotions and resentments to the extreme, but still, looking at the concept alone, it could be said to be a divine being.
All the emotions and declarations offered by the blasphemer in order to collude are offered as nourishment to the evil spirit.
No matter how strong a person was who had reigned in the undead world for a long time, there was no way to know when and how a contract like that would turn into danger.
-You look like an imbecile and undignified bastard! Do you believe in God because you have nothing to believe in?!
idiot!
Of course, the insulter did not admit his mistake and declare that he would compete fairly.
Instead, he laughed at the beast and injected a solution of corruption to ensure a fatal blow to the fury ball.
It was a solution so harsh that dozens of plague maws were born from a single drop.
… Again, Hwan, Sang!!!
-??!
The beast belatedly realized the anger that was rare for a blasphemer.
That ball of anger was an illusion!
When I looked at it again, I wondered why I had been fooled, but the beast tried to calm itself down.
Isn’t it because the blasphemer was so stupid that he was fooled and believed it himself?
kill!
-You corrupt fat bastard. Stop worrying about yourself!
Even as the beast said that, it glanced at Lee Han.
I was worried because the blasphemer’s tenacity was unusual.
* * *
The situation for Lee Han, who was located in the palace below, was not so good.
While summoning Perkuntra, he was seriously injured due to the magic… It wasn’t.
Attackers appeared.
“… “It’s an attack!”
“!”
At Alcicle’s shout, Lee Han stopped calling Perkuntra and immediately prepared for battle.
‘how?!’
Their current position was not one where they could be attacked.
Death Knights were surrounding the area, including the portal.
Although it seemed like a passive tactic, this method was surprisingly effective when dealing with strongmen from another dimension.
Since it was summoned through a wall by paying a price, its power weakened the longer it stayed.
As such, the Death Knights’ choice to completely surround the surrounding area and trap the minions it had summoned and the additional minions it summoned was wise.
Lee Han also believed that, but he never thought an attack would come like this.
“!”
Seeing the empty seats and enemies filling the stage, Lee Han realized the situation.
The forces were summoned from the energy and blood that flowed from the blasphemer’s body (I don’t know if it’s right to call it blood).
Even if you are just breathing, an army is cloned from your body.
‘No slime can be this good.’
“be careful!”
Alcicle shouted out of concern for the inexperienced junior wizard, but soon realized there was no need to.
Reinforced undead summons were quickly summoned to the passage and blocked the path.
A medium-sized skeleton golem that is a combination of several skeleton warriors, and skeleton warriors strengthened with the dark and blood elements.
And the dragon soldier golem… ?
‘Did I see it wrong?’
Alcicle blinked with a confused expression.
No matter how you looked at it, it was the skeleton golem summoned with dragon teeth that you read about in a book, but that didn’t make sense.
Where do you get pure dragon teeth these days?
It was clearly a new magic from the Einrogard school of black magic.
You can either summon a golem with a similar effect without the dragon’s teeth, or mix in a very small amount of dragon’s teeth…
-■■■ ■■■!
‘Left, right, down.’
Lee Han quickly deployed the undead, trying to understand the entire situation.
Alcicle was a better wizard than Lee Han, but unfortunately he was not a professional combat wizard. He didn’t know what would happen if a melee situation broke out and chaos broke out.
Entry had to be blocked and dealt with at all costs.
‘Is that a plaguemaw? The guy in the back looks like a rotter. The stronger one… ‘This is my first time seeing that guy over there.’
Undead whose names you know and ones you see for the first time.
But Lee Han could tell that his opponent was strong. The knight was dressed in armor that seemed decades out of fashion, and all kinds of unpleasant energy was emanating from the slits and other gaps in the helmet.
“In the name of Pengelin, no access is allowed!”
While buying time, Alcicle completed the first spell.
A huge sphere of cold air appeared in the air and spewed out a crazy blizzard at the enemies. It was so cold that even the corrupted undead that had been warming the stage and audience were frozen solid.
“Perh… shit!”
Lee Han blocked the incoming attack with telekinesis. Thick plague slime and arrows disappeared over the telekinetic barrier.
‘You’re targeting me, not Alcicle!’
Lee Han realized that the undead here were targeting him intensively.
I thought he was preoccupied with dealing with summoned beasts, but when it looked like Lee Han was going to use powerful magic, he immediately started to block him.
But why aren’t they more aggressive?
‘… ‘Are you trying to play a long game?’
Dozens of undead were torn apart by the summons that had just been summoned to keep Lee Han in check.
In particular, the dragon golem summoned with the teeth given by Jo Woo-rin left terrible scars on the enemy army each time it charged.
If we tried to force our way through this, we could have been annihilated. It seemed like they were trying to increase their military strength by keeping Lee Han, who seemed the most dangerous, in check.
‘It doesn’t matter.’
Lee Han was also confident in the long-term game. Lee Han strengthened the surrounding defenses with telekinesis and memorized a spell that could be cast briefly.
The attack came right away, but it was worth blocking and holding on to.
‘Verdus!’
Lee Han called not Professor Verdus, but his ancestor Verdus, an undead wizard who had made a contract with Lee Han.
However, no answer came back from the pattern. This meant that Verdus could not come out now.
puck!
Lee Han moved again as he heard the attack flying over his telekinesis. As Alcicle tried to throw an ice shield at his junior, Ihan shook his head.
“There are so many that it won’t make much sense! Please save your horsepower!”
Lee Han put aside Perkuntra and Verdus for now and summoned the spirits. The lower-level spirits jumped out with just a short movement.
Now that I’m in this situation, I start missing Sharkan. Lee Han reflected on not summoning Sharkan and prepared his magic once again.
‘The encephalization… I could fall too… ‘
In any case, in a situation like now where a summoned beast was summoned, assistance was sufficient.
Lee Han used telekinesis to protect the surroundings, attack enemies, and then only helped the skeleton summons fight back. I don’t know if it was my mood, but the enemies’ yelling and cursing seemed to have gotten worse.
-■■■■■!
-■■■!
‘I guess it’s my mood.’
The enemy forces seemed to have thought that they could overpower the two wizards in a long-term war, but as time passed, it soon became clear that they had misjudged the situation.
The undead summoned by Lee Han recovered quickly even though they were melted, corroded, and corrupted.
In contrast, the army of blasphemers gathered here continued to decrease in number. It wasn’t that replenishment wasn’t coming in from above, but it was being consumed faster than that.
It reminded me of soldiers being divided into a well-defended fortress.
-… me. I step forward.
The knight who I thought was the first undead I had ever seen came out late. Lee Han stared at the other person with nervous eyes.
-you. In the past, I interfered with my master’s work.
“what? When did I… ”
Lee Han belatedly felt a familiar energy emanating from the other person’s soul.
It was the pollution that I felt from the fanatics who worshiped Prahgal.
‘Wasn’t he undead!?’
Just because he’s undead doesn’t mean he can’t worship Prahgal, but he didn’t expect that the blasphemer’s subordinates would worship him.
The Knight of Desecration disappeared for a moment, then appeared behind Lee Han and attempted a fatal sneak attack.
Kang!
However, it did not work on Lee Han, who had already strengthened his physical abilities by spraying short-term prediction magic and body strengthening magic, as if that was not enough, as if he were wasting magical power. Lee Han immediately stepped back and clashed their swords.
The knight of blasphemy stepped aside slightly as he felt the black magnetic blade absorbing power. A malicious energy flowed from the man’s eyes, which were covered by a helmet.
‘what… ‘
Lee Han was astonished as he foresaw a future in which a knight of blasphemy would sacrifice his soul to self-destruct a few seconds later.
Even if I blocked it with telekinesis and escaped using brain fire, I wasn’t sure if I could protect Alsicle. Dozens of thoughts passed through Lee Han’s mind.
Does Alcicle have a protection artifact like that? What is the extent of the explosion? What is this guy that doesn’t hesitate to destroy himself like this? As for other magic…
At that moment, the devil’s voice sounded in Lee Han’s ears. It was a voice coming from Manma’s bracelet that had been quiet for a while.
-The disgusting corruption of the undead awakens me.
“!”
-Corruption, corruption, and pestilence call me! fear me I am Mahu. He is the devil of undead hunting! If you don’t give me a chance, I will never go back inside…
“I understand, so sweep it away!”
-… Thank you!
Mahuda jumped out in joy at the wizard’s consideration, which was much more generous than what he had heard from Anpursas, the other demon trapped in the bracelet!
