Chapter 1112

-Is there anything else you want to ask?

The angel, Apazrakon, looked at Lee Han with a puzzled expression.

In the current situation, aside from the fact that the sword wasn’t an angel’s sword, he wondered what else there could be to be curious about.

-I don’t know who made that sword either. Judging by the craftsmanship, it’s probably a famous artisan from the demon realm or another dimension.

-I-I see.

Lee Han nodded for a moment.

The angel’s guess was quite plausible. No matter how outstanding a mage might be, it was very difficult for a mortal from the continent to accurately distinguish objects from other dimensions.

Unless one constantly traveled through dimensions collecting information and interacting with various races, it was hard to distinguish whether a sword was made by an angel, a demon, or a tentacled monster with thirteen arms and forty-eight eyes.

-Then I’ll be going.

-…Wait! Wait!!!

-???

Lee Han urgently called out to the angel who was about to leave coolly again.

The angel looked at Lee Han as if he found him strange this time.

This pioneer who was walking the path of ancient magic first wasn’t someone who used time inefficiently, so why was he calling out so pointlessly today?

-Where were you until just now? How did you appear so suddenly?

‘That’s a very good question, student Lee Han!’

Professor Garcia also came to his senses and cheered him on.

It was surprising that an angel suddenly appeared from the soul dimension acting familiar (it even seemed like his disciple had met him before), but that wasn’t what was important.

…Actually, it was a little important, but Professor Garcia let it slide for now. It wasn’t the first or second time his disciple had befriended strange beings from other dimensions.

But what was really important was how that angel had appeared so suddenly.

Surely he hadn’t been following Lee Han around…

-I don’t understand what you’re talking about. I appeared immediately because I was watching you.

The angel looked at Lee Han even more strangely. He couldn’t understand why he was asking such an obvious question.

-…

-…

The already cold atmosphere of the spiritual world became even colder.

Professor Garcia and Professor Boladi exchanged glances.

‘Do you have confidence in completely suppressing that angel?’

‘I’ll attack immediately if you give the signal.’

Professor Garcia had often heard of demons chasing after failed magic, but an angel stalking like this was unprecedented even for him.

Weren’t angels a race that was indifferent to affairs of outer dimensions in the first place?

Though confused, Professor Garcia still steeled his resolve for his disciple’s sake. If the angel was following and harassing his disciple, he was prepared to boldly use force.

-Don’t tell me when you said ‘please take care of me in the future,’ you meant you’d keep following me around?!

-That’s right. Didn’t you tell me to do so?

-…

-…

Professor Garcia and Professor Boladi stared intently at their disciple. Lee Han hastily explained.

-No! It’s a misunderstanding!

-Is it really a misunderstanding…

-It’s really a misunderstanding! Professor!

It really was a misunderstanding.

He had just said ‘yes’ when the angel greeted him saying ‘please take care of me in the future’ and left, but how could he have known the angel would keep following and monitoring him?

Leaving aside his disciple who was on the verge of dying from injustice, Professor Garcia asked the angel a question.

-I’m curious about something. Even if you followed student Lee Han around, if you had followed him in this soul dimension, we would have noticed, so did you move to a completely separate dimension? One that only celestials can use…?

-That’s right.

Though far fewer in number than demons, befitting a race whose reputation was never inferior, angels possessed powerful racial abilities.

Especially in handling dimensions like this, they often displayed mysterious abilities that even mages found hard to predict.

The dimension Apazrakon used was the Dimension of Vanishing Light.

This dimension wasn’t one that existed independently from reality, but rather a shadow-like dimension.

Once entered, one’s existence became a vague concept unable to intervene in the real dimension in any way, but it was very suitable for secret observation.

Apazrakon had been immersed in this shadow dimension earnestly observing the pioneer’s path, then dimension-traveled back to the spirit realm to offer guidance when problems arose.

-…

Lee Han was speechless.

‘What kind of bizarre race is this?’

To be able to enter a bizarre dimension undetectable even by soul detection and observe others.

At this level, wasn’t this a worse race than demons?

-Come to think of it, I have something to tell you, pioneer.

Apazrakon spoke to Lee Han as if remembering something during the conversation.

-…What is it?

-The magical sanctuary where you stay has dimensions so twisted that it’s not easy to approach. I’d appreciate it if you could ask the lord of the territory to improve it.

Einroguard had magic layered as much as its long history, and the surrounding dimensions were just as bizarrely twisted.

Powerful magic also affects dimensions.

In such places, even the angel race that freely manipulates dimensions couldn’t approach easily. In fact, Apazrakon had been waiting outside Einroguard and could only follow again when Lee Han came out.

To eliminate such unnecessary waste, he needed to ask the lord of the territory to create an appropriate dimensional passage.

-…Indeed! I’ll definitely tell the Principal about it.

-Thank you.

-…

Professor Garcia looked at his disciple with a complicated expression.

If any race other than an angel had been here, they would have realized his disciple was giving lip service.

Unless student Lee Han had gone mad, would he really ask the Skeleton Principal to create a dimensional passage for outsiders to enter?

And it was questionable whether that was even possible.

Whenever he saw the twisted dimensions around Einroguard, even the great Professor Garcia thought, ‘Where should I even start with these twisted inflection points…’

‘Einroguard has its good points too.’

Lee Han thought to himself.

Of course, he had no intention of doing it, and was just grateful for Einroguard’s terrible environment.

At least it blocked even angels from approaching!

-Let’s finish this matter first and continue talking.

Lee Han said to Apazrakon.

He wanted to give a long lecture on ‘why is it rude to follow mortal mages around without saying anything?’ but there were many people around right now.

Even Jute was looking at the three of them with an expression full of unease. He needed to explain to them first.

-Let’s do that. I look forward to many teachings.

‘What expectations, you crazy bastard.’

Lee Han cursed inwardly.

That angel was under some kind of misunderstanding, thinking he could gain enlightenment by following Lee Han around and observing his actions.

It was an absurd misunderstanding, and the more he thought about it, the more his hatred for the Yachaowang surged.

To dump such an angel on him…

‘…If I go find the Yachaowang and attack him, wouldn’t that angel realize too?’

Pop!

While having such thoughts, Apazrakon disappeared. The queasy vision caused by the overlapping spirit realm also returned to normal.

“What… is there some kind of problem?”

Jute asked with an uneasy expression.

The strange behavior of the three mages just now bothered him.

The way they stared at empty air and moved their mouths as if having an inaudible conversation…

‘Wait. Could they have been talking to a spirit?’

If they had detected a soul, that would make sense.

To detect spiritual beings without even casting separate soul detection magic. Truly amazing skill.

Were these really mages from Einroguard?

“Well… Lord Jute. Actually, there’s something I need to tell you.”

Lee Han said hesitantly.

As a fellow graduate from the same Black Magic Academy, he didn’t want to unnecessarily embarrass a dark mage, but this was quite an important matter.

Since the spirit’s weakness was angels, it was hard to predict what would happen if a completely different sword were inserted.

“What kind of…?”

“This sword actually wasn’t made by an angel.”

“…”

Jute’s face hardened stiffly.

Jute, who had been trembling, looked at Lee Han and shouted.

“A-as expected, you’re showing your true colors! You’re trying to insult me for being a dark mage! You can’t trust a dark mage with anything!”

“No, I’m also from the Black Magic Academy…”

“Callarogard may not have as much prestige as Einroguard, but it’s absolutely not an inferior school. Today I’ll prove it myself!”

“We respect all magic schools. …Except for Baldrogard, but anyway, why would we look down on Callarogard?”

Lee Han wanted to persuade him, but the other person only showed stubborn reactions.

Feeling it was hopeless, Lee Han sighed. Rather than cause problems with an outsider for no reason, it was better to choose the fastest solution.

“…Apazrakon? Could you help me out a bit? If you’re listening, I’d appreciate it if you could descend with a physical body.”

“Wh-who are you calling?”

Before Jute’s question was even finished, a massive chunk of flesh suddenly appeared in reality.

This meat mass reminiscent of a slime quickly transformed into human form. Apazrakon, who had forcibly taken on a human body, opened his mouth and cleared his throat.

“Ah. Ah. Ah. Can you hear my voice clearly?”

“I can hear your voice fine, but I think you need to put your eyes in the front, not the back of your head…”

“I see. Thank you for pointing that out. The appearance of mortals is still unfamiliar to me.”

Apazrakon rearranged his body again.

Since angels originally existed in pure soul form in their dimension, a physical body composed of such material organs was bound to be unfamiliar.

The adventurers and knights present were all greatly surprised without exception. No matter how experienced they were, seeing an angel was truly rare.

But they could feel it instinctively.

The being before their eyes was truly an angel!

If not, what other race could emanate such a presence? Jute asked stammering.

“R-really an angel…?”

“Yes.”

“Einroguard mages summon angels and carry them around?!”

“…”

Lee Han felt a headache coming on, wondering where to start explaining. Professor Garcia, unable to watch any longer, answered instead.

“You can think of it as roughly similar.”

“R-really… truly amazing. I knew Einroguard’s magic was excellent, but to think they were researching methods to contract with angels…”

“…Anyway, this proves that student Lee Han wasn’t lying, right? We also found out from that angel.”

At Professor Garcia’s words, Jute nodded with a dazed expression.

With such evidence shown before his eyes, there was nothing more to say. Rather, he felt so ashamed for being unreasonably stubborn that he wanted to hide in a mouse hole.

“I have nothing to say… wait, student?”

Jute was blushing and about to apologize when he paused.

Didn’t they just call that mage in front a student?

“Yes? Yes. Student Lee Han.”

“Wasn’t he a professor?! I’m sure you called him professor earlier…”

“Professor Garcia and Professor Bagrek here are professors, but student Lee Han is still a student.”

“…”

Jute, who had been blinking, looked at Lee Han again.

Now that he looked again, he definitely seemed like a student. It felt strange why he had thought he was a professor.

Huh?

‘…Why, why did I think he was a professor…?’

“Wait. Student Lee Han? Lee Han of Wardanaz Family? …By any chance, aren’t you from the Black Magic Academy?!”

At Jute’s words, his comrades grabbed his shoulders as if they couldn’t stand it anymore.

No matter how much they trusted their leader, today was too much.

“Stop it, Jute! You’re really strange today!”

“Stop being so persistent! There’s no way that person is a dark mage!”

“…”

Lee Han, who was about to answer yes, became very awkward.
