Chapter 1128

Of course, contrary to the hamster’s misunderstanding, Lee Han had his own grounds for certainty.

‘At least one from the Crackshariggol sect is definite.’

No matter how he looked at it, the way they kept going ‘mo-mo-mo-monster’ was too blatantly suspicious.

“You insignificant human brat…!”

Juzen’s flesh made bubbling sounds as it rapidly regenerated.

It was the power of regeneration received from the Fair Regent.

Crackle!

Meanwhile, Perkuntra’s chain lightning was already striking among the mercenaries.

Having faced lightning magic quite often, the mercenaries skillfully pulled out shields with insulation properties, but the destructive power of the lightning exceeded their expectations.

Lee Han’s signature modified magic that surpassed the limits of existing spells by investing mana beyond normal bounds to increase power!

“!”

As their shields burned away and the shock traveled up to their arms, the mercenaries were horrified.

Originally, chain-type magic like this had each attack divided among targets, so the individual destructive power wasn’t supposed to be that high.

The shields they were currently equipped with could easily block 3rd or 4th circle magic…!

Suddenly the mercenaries felt their vision blur and their senses go numb. It was a curse.

‘How!’

As events beyond common sense occurred in succession, even the experienced mercenaries froze.

Just as they had countermeasures against lightning, they naturally had countermeasures against curses too. The mercenaries didn’t wear those dangling necklaces and rings for nothing.

But for a curse to penetrate through that without any warning signs?

Siana urgently shouted.

“Priest. What’s the next position!”

“They’ll break through the right wall to escape!”

Hearing Tijiling’s answer, Siana quickly sent a slime snake flying to wait near the right wall.

The snake instantly vaporized and transformed into toxic vapor, occupying the space.

“Good! Please shoot another curse!”

“Th-this isn’t something that conveniently fires curses like that…”

Tijiling answered in bewilderment at her excited friend’s shout.

Priests of the Prising sect, specialized in curse collection, were equally skilled in methods of utilizing curses.

Tijiling also had several cursed artifacts, but this wasn’t something that conveniently fired curses like that.

“Get up immediately, you wretch!”

Juzen said while healing the fallen Crackshariggol Sect’s Prophet.

The Fair Regent’s power wasn’t infinite. It could only be used as much as sacrifices were offered – that was his master’s power.

Yet the reason he consumed precious sacrifice reserves to heal his opponent was singular.

In this situation, he needed the prophetic ability to find the most accurate path.

“Monstermonstermonstermonstermonster…”

“…”

Juzen regretted reviving this bastard.

He didn’t know what kind of attack he’d received, but who knew he’d go completely insane like this.

On the other hand, Lee Han felt relieved.

Honestly, he’d been startled seeing his opponent regenerate immediately even after taking a water orb bullet.

At 4th circle it might be different, but a water orb bullet enhanced to 5th circle level and imbued with the concept of destruction was difficult to regenerate from easily.

His opponent truly had bizarre techniques befitting a worshipper of evil gods.

‘It’s rather fortunate that the Crackshariggol sect is here.’

“Nigisol, I’ll leave the rest to you!”

Lee Han left dealing with the other mercenaries to Nigisol and tried to focus his attacks on Juzen.

He was clearly the most dangerous-looking opponent.

Nigisol nodded and greatly inflated his body. Other mages would find such fluid transformation difficult since they were made of blood and flesh, but Nigisol, being a spirit hybrid, was different.

“Fire, dwell within me!”

The mercenaries were startled as some burning priest tried to charge like a tank.

Even confused by the continuous attacks, the mercenaries responded quickly.

“Intercept! Don’t let him approach…”

At that moment, Nigisol felt a strong spirit’s energy helping his flames.

A very violent and intense flame power.

‘What? Is there a strong fire spirit nearby?’

It was curious, but now wasn’t the time to investigate. He could confirm the spirit’s identity later.

Whoooosh!

As the alley filled with flames, the mercenaries threw themselves aside with curses.

They knew the hole by the wall was full of toxic clouds, but right now they had to dodge first.

‘Water orb bullet!’

A water orb made vicious sounds in midair as it once again aimed for Juzen’s vital points.

Simultaneously, strong telekinesis struck Juzen like a giant palm. Under the blunt pressure, Juzen felt blood rising in his throat.

“How dare a lowly human race…!”

Enraged, Juzen once again consumed sacrifices to heal his injuries and spread a strong barrier of thoughts nearby.

The barrier spread by the evil god’s power disrupted the telekinesis’s aim and dissolved the concept contained in the water orb bullet, turning it back into an ordinary water drop.

‘I’ll kill you!’

Juzen raised his head to stare directly, expecting to see his opponent’s terrified face.

However, Lee Han’s expression didn’t change at all. His bold attitude suggested he always expected this level of resistance.

“Space!”

Meanwhile, Lee Han who had created the water orb bullet immediately teleported it behind the enemy. The water orb bullet that collided with the wall made sharp sounds as it cut through matter.

Juzen, who had spread the barrier only in front to save sacrifices, regretted his petty choice. His opponent was much stronger than he’d expected.

Thud!

A sharp attack that severed the spine and drove into the heart, precisely targeting vital points.

That attack made Juzen’s mind suddenly recall old memories.

“…You! You! Are you a disciple of the Bagrek family?!”

“What’s Bagrek?”

Lee Han lied without batting an eye, but this mad vampire had already become convinced.

This distinctive magical combat style was hard to mistake. Juzen cursed with a voice full of murderous intent.

“Even though the Regent showed mercy, you dared to secretly sharpen the blade of revenge like this…? Fine! I won’t show mercy anymore either.”

Currently, the survivors of the Seinguiros sect weren’t targeting old enemies.

It was a time for the sect to focus only on recovery, and above all, the Regent had commanded it.

However, past grudges didn’t disappear so easily. Especially for someone like Juzen who had a glorious family but fell to ruin in an instant.

He would gather the noble vampires of the west who held grudges and take revenge!

Suddenly Juzen’s body became hazy.

To escape this place, he chose to flee again to the flame giant dimension.

But Juzen was still underestimating his opponent.

“!!”

Juzen was shocked to see Lee Han immediately chase after him and enter the dimension.

‘This human bastard. Isn’t he afraid of the flame giant dimension?!’

* * *

-You fool! Retreat immediately!

The hamster squeaked in surprise.

This was the flame giants’ dimension. Moreover, seeing the sky dyed blood red and the air vibrating with heat, it seemed the flame giants were extremely angry about something.

-You don’t even know what they came here and did, yet you followed! We could all die together!

“I’ll leave. Just after catching that guy.”

Lee Han’s eyes gleamed as he listened to the hamster’s squeaking with half an ear.

If it had been Juzen from his family’s intact days when his reason still shone, he would never have said such things in front of his opponent.

There was no reason to reveal to his opponent ‘I’m going to target your master from now on.’ It provided no help except for base satisfaction.

Depending on such satisfaction itself revealed that Juzen’s judgment and reason had greatly deteriorated.

‘So he’s planning to target Professor Bagrek first when he returns?’

From the other person’s words, Lee Han gleaned several pieces of information.

That the other person held a considerable position, that they harbored deep resentment against the Bagrek family…

…and that the moment they returned, they would immediately keep sending assassins after Professor Boladi and himself!

In that case, it was right to finish things here no matter what. Juzen had underestimated Lee Han’s decisiveness.

“Very… I’m feeling very unpleasant. No matter how much the family has fallen, for a green human brat like you to look down on me with such audacity.”

Juzen trembled as he healed his wounds with the evil deity’s power.

Once he somewhat grasped the opponent’s intention in pursuing him, that realization turned into rage.

How dare a human brat follow me in here thinking to finish me off??

“Lightning, dwell within and manifest!”

“O Regent, tear him apart!”

Lee Han’s choice was Lightning Transformation.

Though it was the same 5th circle magic, since he had already used ice orbs too many times, there was a high chance the opponent could read it too.

As his body transformed into lightning and pierced in like a spear to deliver a blow, Juzen groaned deeply.

However, Juzen’s eyes flashed with certainty of victory.

“It’s over. You human bastard!”

-Dan, dangerous!

-This is…!

Not only the hamster but even Sarataan inside the staff sensed the crisis and cried out.

Though his reason and judgment had dulled considerably, Juzen made his most bold and accurate decision today.

That the longer he dragged things out against this human brat, the more dangerous it would become.

Therefore, he mobilized all his sacrifices to bring out the most powerful authority among the evil deity’s powers he possessed.

Red bloody energy gathered in the air and transformed into a cursed strigoi with a horrific form bearing four arms.

However, what could be felt from it was unmistakable divinity. Sarataan immediately stepped forward in place of his master.

The authority of steadfastness that blocks any attack!

A translucent oak tree spread through the air and stood firm as if blocking the approach of the four-armed strigoi.

Crack!

However, the evil deity’s power transcended imagination. It crushed with force as if compressing and crumpling a massive tree.

-This, this is impossible…!

Sarataan was shocked.

“Did you think you could block a god’s power with a spirit!”

Juzen noticed that Lee Han had used a spirit’s power and shouted sternly.

Right now that strigoi was a manifestation of the great Regent. How could a mere spirit block a strike containing an evil deity’s power?

-The bracelet! Take out the demons’ bracelet!

The hamster cried out urgently.

This was such an urgent situation that they had no choice but to borrow even the demons’ energy.

“There’s no need for that.”

Lee Han answered coldly, then put down his staff and raised both hands above his head.

Just as Juzen thought he might be surrendering, he noticed that a strange crown had appeared above the guy’s head.

‘What the…?’

Before he could ponder the crown’s identity, the strigoi’s four arms suddenly moved in different directions.

And pierced through Juzen’s body.

“Gack!”

‘Miniature world!’

This alien and bizarre magic system could only be a miniature world. Juzen never expected his opponent to be able to use a miniature world.

Even if it was a miniature world, he couldn’t understand it.

How could he manipulate an evil deity’s power like that?

-Cra… crazy…!

The hamster cried out with goosebumps.

He should be happy since they had achieved victory against an evil deity worshipper, but the current scene was so chilling that he couldn’t feel such joy.

Such a fighting method.

Wasn’t it just like the young Skeleton Principal!

This wasn’t a matter of strength. The magic style and method somehow reminded him of that insane archmage.

“Crazy?”

-…I mean it went crazily well! Excellent!

The hamster quickly offered praise in fear. The image of him wearing the crown just now remained like an afterimage, making the hamster’s heart pound.

“Ah. Thank you.”

Lee Han answered as if embarrassed.

He had luckily realized he could use the miniature world and won, so receiving such praise made him slightly embarrassed.

‘Damn it…’

Juzen felt certain defeat.

Bold strategies, once they failed, returned as side effects. That was exactly Juzen’s situation now.

Who would have thought that mobilizing all the evil deity’s power to kill instantly would come back like this.

Who goes there?

“!!!”

Both Juzen and Lee Han turned their heads in great surprise.

Enraged flame giants were walking up from below.

Who dared attack giants and desecrate their corpses?

“That… that mage did it!”

Juzen squeezed out his last strength and shouted. Even he thought it was a cunning scheme.

In the giants’ eyes, that human brat would look far more suspicious than himself, a defeated loser on the verge of death.

‘O Regent. Thank you!’

Boom!

The flame giant swung his burning sword and burned Juzen out of existence.

Then he snapped irritably.

The challenger recognized by the Ice Giant King wouldn’t do such things. You foul-smelling wretch. Where do you get off telling such petty lies.

“…”

Lee Han felt deep despair while feeling relieved.

Just how fast do rumors spread in this dimension…
