Chapter 1115

Whidor…! No, not yet! But the form is similar!

Hwacheon General recalled the name of a magic he had heard in the Spirit Realm long ago upon seeing the not-so-large water droplet.

Though the world of mortals was but a moment, the achievements they left behind often had surprisingly intense influence. Extraordinary magic was one of them.

In a way, a water droplet was the tool least suited for destruction.

Wasn’t it just the weakest destructive element among all elements formed into a round shape?

However, the core of Whidor was putting the most destructive and fierce concept inside it.

Though just a small water droplet, the power contained within was a paradoxical magic that transcended great mountain ranges!

What that spirit-beloved mage had cast now wasn’t complete Whidor, but he couldn’t deny that it was quite a decent imitation.

Perhaps if he skillfully refined his ideology and compressed it further, he could take one more step closer to the original magic.

The newly modified water jade bullet drew an elegant arc.

It was a clean and graceful trajectory, but the result was brutal. The histories summoned by Hwacheon General were swept away.

‘To think it would tear through space itself!’

Hwacheon General smiled bitterly in regret.

A powerful spirit would not take even an ordinary pebble lightly. Even a pebble could kill a magic dragon when taken to the extreme.

How much more so a spinning orb of water. The conceptualized rotation, not physical rotation, could interfere with and tear apart space itself.

And the opponent didn’t just manipulate space in attacks. He was annoyingly skilled at defense too.

Look at that outer robe.

Hwacheon General had wondered why the histories he summoned had faded without any sign, but looking closely, this too was using space.

The outer robe, divided and imprinted across countless parallel dimensions, was infinitely splitting space to prevent approaching enemies from getting close.

A space mage who had reached enlightenment could ride a turtle and still get ahead of any famous horse.

That outer robe was one level above such a standard. It was trapping approaching enemies in a spatial labyrinth that made them eternally distant.

Though it seemed like an instant from outside, the history made of fire couldn’t overcome time and faded away after futilely trying to break through space.

Such powerful artifacts weren’t something one could possess just by having exceptional individual magical abilities.

It was probably luck made possible by receiving the love of countless beings.

Indeed, befitting a mortal beloved by spirits. But this Hwacheon General doesn’t give up easily! Let’s see you take a strike from one hated by spirits and stars…

Hwacheon General was indeed tenacious and persistent, living up to his notorious reputation.

Other spirits, even fairly violent ones, would have given up long ago after taking such losses when blocked this much, but he absolutely wouldn’t retreat.

It was precisely Hwacheon General’s nature to want to attack whenever he saw mortals born with such destiny.

However, Hwacheon General was so entranced by the magic shown by the mortal before him that he forgot about the enemies gathered around.

This was a den of mages!

I’ll kill him!!!!

Surprisingly, the first to launch a counterattack wasn’t the magic tower master or Professor Boladi, but Jowrin.

The experienced mages intuitively realized from the atmosphere of the unfolding situation that Lee Han wasn’t in immediate danger.

But Jowrin was different.

Seeing some crazy spirit attacking her contractor, Jowrin’s eyes rolled back and she charged fiercely, regardless of whether a terrible wall of flames blocked her path.

If she had been an ordinary creature, she would have burned in reverse and paid a hefty price, but the bloodline of the dragon race, the most powerful species, protected Jowrin.

Except for being singed in a few places and losing some scales, Jowrin was completely uninjured. It was unbelievable that she had forcibly broken through a king-level spirit’s flames.

Even Hwacheon General seemed bewildered as he muttered.

Either I’ve become much weaker, or dragons have truly become much stronger…

Jowrin didn’t attempt to converse with her opponent. She collided with full force as she was.

Though Hwacheon General was hotter than any flame she had ever experienced, Jowrin paid no heed and struck with her front paws before biting down. It was a savage attack reminiscent of a fierce beast.

Despite his own body, which he had painstakingly constructed by summoning his true power, being greatly destroyed, Hwacheon General wasn’t discouraged.

Rather, he was greatly pleased to discover an enraged dragon.

An enraged dragon! I wonder how long it’s been since I’ve seen one!

Dragons were the race with the least emotional changes and rarely interfered with worldly affairs.

Unless it were ancient times when demons swarmed from all directions, the current continent was in a stable period, making enraged dragons even rarer to see.

But to see such an enraged dragon like this.

He wondered with anticipation whether that rage might surge further to give birth to an evil dragon or magic dragon.

What opponent could be more anticipated than a dragon that had unleashed its restraints on destruction due to severe wounds?

“Your Majesty!”

Lee Han called out strongly to Jowrin.

Though it was a simple shout, it wasn’t just a simple shout. That voice, filled with urgency and desperation, contained strong magical power and will.

Thanks to this, Jowrin’s eyes, which had turned red with rage, returned to normal. Hwacheon General reproached Lee Han as if disappointed.

Why? Why such a weak act?

Not just because of Hwacheon General’s own greed, but even from a mortal’s perspective, this was a foolish choice.

Why voluntarily reduce a dragon’s combat power in such a situation?

An excellent strategist would have added fuel to the rage.

“…Ha. You want something not weak?”

Lee Han rarely got angry at extradimensional beings.

Not because he didn’t get angry, but because getting angry had little meaning.

Even with Yachaowang, it was the same. What meaning was there in getting angry when nothing changed?

However, Hwacheon General pierced through such rationality and made Lee Han furious.

Hwacheon General was instead pleased by the mortal’s coldly sharp appearance.

That’s right!

“Good!”

Lee Han glared coldly at his opponent and pulled out the Bracelet of Ten Thousand Demons.

As tremendous magical power spread from the bracelet down to the bottomless pit, demons murmured with expectant voices.

Which demon would seize the luck and get to come outside?

However, the demons’ luck ended right there.

The professors weren’t the type to stand by and watch when their disciple was about to use something like the Bracelet of Ten Thousand Demons in front of them.

Pop!

A rupturing sound inaudible to ordinary people burst forth. It was an attack that cut through space and stabbed at Hwacheon General’s essence in the Spirit Realm.

Professor Boladi launched consecutive attacks with an expressionless face. Hwacheon General wanted to praise his opponent’s attacks but couldn’t.

The enemy mage had first severed Hwacheon General’s telepathic communication.

‘Why?’

Hwacheon General couldn’t understand why his opponent was targeting the most useless part first.

Meanwhile, magic tower master Eulangdam also took action. As he waved his staff and chanted spells, a modest daylily flower bloomed above Hwacheon General.

Though Hwacheon General had been so violent and belligerent, his momentum suddenly dimmed and he became docile. Like a patient who had forgotten everything.

Eulangdam ground his teeth fiercely.

“If I can’t permanently seal that spirit bastard today, this old man deserves to be fooled by His Excellency countless more times!”

Strictly speaking, none of the mages here had suffered any damage.

The magic tower’s facilities were intact and Lee Han wasn’t hurt either.

But in fact, there was one major damage. That was the pride of Daylily Magic Tower.

To break through and cause a disturbance at an event prepared by the magic tower?

Quite… fierce…

Hwacheon General felt so regretful about leaving this place.

When and where would he meet such formidable enemies again?

That mortal hadn’t even brought out the power of other spirits and stars yet.

He wanted to bring out that essence like drawing out a beating heart hidden inside and experience it directly.

Though it was getting truly dangerous, Hwacheon General tried once more to draw power from his main body.

Despite suffering all kinds of fatal wounds, it was truly stubborn persistence.

Professor Boladi’s eyebrow rose slightly. From the sensation felt at his fingertips, he realized his opponent was preparing a desperate struggle.

Eulangdam was the same. Seeing how he was somehow trying to push away the daylily flower and maintain his sanity, it seemed the records had actually underestimated him.

The two mages quietly increased the intensity of their attacks. Rather than watch this spirit’s death throes, they planned to immediately inflict damage and reverse-summon him.

“How dare you!”

With a short shout, Professor Garcia appeared behind Hwacheon General.

Unlike the other two mages, Professor Garcia, who lacked expertise in magical combat, needed time to load useful combat magic.

Moreover, choosing magic suitable for the current situation was no easy task. He already knew few combat spells, and from among those, he had to select magic fitting the current situation.

Still, Professor Garcia didn’t retreat. How could a master stay behind when his disciple was right there?

With a sound of tearing air, Professor Garcia’s fist struck Hwacheon General’s vital point. The various magics attached to the fist exploded viciously.

Hwacheon General, who had already been receiving fierce attacks starting from Jowrin’s assault, then from Professor Boladi and Eulangdam, could no longer endure and was immediately reverse summoned.

The mages watching from the crowd were shocked and began murmuring.

From the outside, it looked as if the spirit that had withstood all sorts of attacks had been blown away with just one punch.

Professor Garcia shouted in panic.

“It was already on the verge of disappearing before I even hit it!!”

Of course, that didn’t stop the mages from whispering among themselves.

* * *

After the battle ended and while the mages were cleaning up the destroyed surroundings, Lee Han applied medicine to Jowrin together with Professor Garcia.

Even though only a few scales had come off, he couldn’t help but worry.

During this time, Jowrin was strangely quiet. Instead, she just rolled her eyes around.

The baby basilisk spoke up, worried by her unfamiliar behavior.

-Are you hurt somewhere?

I’m not hurt…

-Usually people who hide their injuries say that too…

The baby basilisk hesitated while trying to point this out. Jowrin had let out a dejected sigh.

When Jowrin goes back… she’ll probably be forbidden from going out…

-…

The baby basilisk was so dumbfounded that it almost drooled venom from its salivary glands.

What kind of nonsense is that??

However, Jowrin was very serious.

She had earnestly begged her contractor to come out together, but then forgot his words not to transform and caused such a major accident.

Perhaps her younger sibling’s words might be right.

‘Maybe Jowrin should have just stayed inside.’

“What are you talking about, Your Majesty! Your Majesty saved student Lee Han!”

“That’s right, Your Majesty. You stepped forward for my sake, so how could I forbid you from going out? Do I look that cold-hearted to you?”

A little… no, no. Jowrin trusted her contractor!

Jowrin had become very perceptive lately.

The current situation somehow didn’t seem like one where she would be punished.

Could it be?

Then Jowrin is innocent?!

“Of course, I should be grateful.”

Hooray!

Jowrin displayed wing flapping filled with joy.

Just like in old tales, good deeds done with a kind heart were bound to be rewarded.

Lee Han felt slightly uneasy at that sight.

…I hope today’s experience doesn’t have a bad influence?

“Your Majesty. Still, please don’t transform and fight in the future.”

Even if Lee Han is in danger?

“Yes.”

Even if Lee Han is really in danger?

“…Your Majesty. Please write ‘I will not recklessly transform and fight in the future’ 100 times. You can’t use magic to write it.”

Why, why?! You said I was innocent…!

While Jowrin was panicking, Lee Han suddenly felt a hot sensation on the back of his hand.

A sensation he had experienced several times before.

It was the sensation felt when contracting with a spirit.

But to be precise, this sensation wasn’t the one felt after contracting, but rather the sensation of some spirit requesting a contract.

It was also a very unfamiliar sensation to Lee Han.

‘What is this?’

Wondering if perhaps rumors had spread in the Spirit Realm thanks to fighting the evil spirit, Lee Han opened his mind and made contact.

Maybe his popularity among spirits was finally exploding.

Ohhh… were you perhaps waiting for me?

“…”

At Hwacheon General’s voice, Lee Han immediately closed his mind and blocked the contact coming from the Spirit Realm.
