Chapter 1130
‘Why did you let him interrogate like that?’
Lee Han, who was resting from exhaustion, looked at the knights and shouted with his eyes.
If they knew Professor Boladi was nearby, they should have been tactful when asking questions, but instead they made him spill everything from the evil god worshipper Juzen’s origins to his grudges.
Of course, the knights hadn’t expected Ibinta to extract information this well either.
They thought at most he could extract the location of the evil god worshippers’ temporary hideout…
-We, we didn’t know he’d extract information that well either!
‘That’s no excuse.’
Professor Garcia and Professor Kirmin cursed inwardly.
Were these really the same people who usually boasted about being veterans who had fought for hundreds of years?
Just try bragging from now on!
“Did, did I say something wrong?”
“Continue.”
It was Professor Boladi who calmed the frightened Ibinta.
-Stop it, you fool!
“If you don’t shut your mouth, I’ll report you to the Principal for treason!”
“Ah… no…”
When the Death Knights and Lee Han threatened him menacingly, Ibinta’s eyes welled up with tears, which didn’t match his fierce face.
It was because he was truly terrified.
These knights, aside from being the Skeleton Principal’s minions, were originally monsters you had to prepare for death when encountering in dungeons.
Death Knights were elite undead monsters, each individual boasting deadly destructive power.
Moreover, the mage beside them was a mage from the Wardanaz Family.
…Just that alone made him more terrifying to Ibinta than the knights.
Ibinta’s fear spread to his former colleague. A mercenary from 【Kangle’s Shadow】 who was originally a cobbler asked in confusion.
“Hey, what’s going on? If you talk, they’ll spare you…”
Swoosh-
The speaking mercenary realized something was protruding from his chest.
Surprisingly, it was a blade.
“?!?!!”
Despite the blade penetrating his body, there was no pain or blood. He hadn’t even noticed it. The mercenary almost screamed at this chilling sight.
“Don’t move.”
Professor Boladi warned kindly.
The dimensional blade currently penetrating the mercenary’s body was precisely fixed, causing no damage, but the moment he struggled, his entire body would be torn apart.
“Continue.”
“What… what… what do you mean?”
“What you were saying.”
The mercenary blinked.
The Death Knights beside him strongly warned him not to do it, but the mercenary couldn’t bring himself to listen.
If he didn’t listen, he might be killed later by these undead knights, but if he did listen, wouldn’t the mage who had stuck a blade in his body right now stir up his insides?
“I, I don’t know much about that bastard Juzen either. What I said earlier is almost everything. That. Also…”
“Precisely. Don’t leave out a single thing.”
Professor Boladi spoke with a slightly irritated voice.
Though it was mild irritation, that alone was enough for the professor to dominate the atmosphere. Even the knights didn’t dare step forward and only watched nervously.
The mercenary spilled everything he had witnessed earlier, the fact that Juzen and other western noble-born vampires held great grudges against the Bagrek family, and that they probably wouldn’t dare act now because the cult’s situation was so urgent.
“But didn’t he change his mind?”
Professor Boladi pointed out Juzen’s behavior.
Evil god worshippers were like masses of irrationality in the first place, making them hard to predict with normal logic.
They would devote everything to the cult’s revival, but then disobey orders and act on their own due to trivial emotional changes.
The mercenary had nothing particular to say and nodded.
“That’s… that’s true.”
“There are more survivors than expected. That might be why.”
With that murmur, Professor Boladi withdrew the blade. At this sight, Professor Garcia and the knights sighed in relief.
However, Lee Han immediately shouted.
“…Everyone subdue Professor Bagrek!!”
“?!?”
Professor Garcia momentarily didn’t understand Lee Han’s words.
Had this ambitious disciple finally decided to usurp a professor’s position before the principal’s seat?
But there were plenty of professor positions available anyway…
-Ah!
The knights reacted faster than Professor Garcia. They realized what Lee Han was worried about.
Clatter!
Chains of darkness appeared in the air and flew toward Professor Boladi. However, the professor was no longer in position.
He had used relatively weak spatial magic to slow the chains briefly, then slipped away in the meantime.
-Damn battle mages!
The Death Knights gritted their teeth.
Experienced battle mages were more troublesome to deal with than high-level mages. They knew how to use each low-circle spell precisely.
“Professor! Let’s just talk for a moment!! Just briefly!”
Lee Han called to the professor while charging telekinesis at maximum output in one hand. The hamster was dumbfounded by this shameless display.
‘Is that guy really a disciple?’
“We’ll talk later. Study on your own for the remaining time.”
At the voice from behind, Lee Han immediately turned and tried to seal his movement with telekinesis.
“Don’t be fooled, Wardanaz!”
Professor Kirmin screamed.
That trick was one he used to use frequently himself.
Like the annoying friend he was, he had learned such things brilliantly and was using them.
When Lee Han turned around, the form of Professor Boladi that had appeared behind melted away.
He had simply deceived Lee Han’s senses by combining a simple illusory projection with mana emission and voice emission. Lee Han felt ashamed.
‘To be fooled by such a trick!’
“Professor Kim, open your soul sight! Boladi will escape using dimensions!”
Professor Kirmin shouted loudly and completed the multi-dimensional maze of illusions he had been preparing. Right now, he had to somehow interfere to prevent his friend from escaping.
Professor Garcia, who had been twisting reality coordinates everywhere to prevent spatial movement magic, hurriedly opened her soul sight. Since the opponent was such a skilled individual, they had to prepare various methods.
Lee Han also concentrated on soul sight. Then a familiar angel’s voice was heard loudly.
-What is this… Stop!
‘Apazrakon!’
The angel’s voice made Lee Han’s heart sink.
There was no reason for the meticulous Professor Boladi to suddenly attack the angel now.
For what purpose exactly?
“Boladi has seized the angel’s dimension!!”
-To think he’d steal the Dimension of Divine Light Annihilation…!
From Professor Kirmin’s cry and the angel’s cry, Lee Han immediately grasped the situation.
The Dimension of Divine Light Annihilation, the celestial exclusive dimension that Apazrakon had been using to secretly follow Lee Han.
This dimension, like a shadow of reality that changed with vague concepts, was very suitable not only for secret observation but also for escape.
From the moment the angel revealed himself and showed off the dimension, Professor Boladi had been calculating how to use this.
“Apazrakon! Chase him!”
-That mortal seized the Dimension of Divine Light Annihilation…
Apazrakon was about to whine, but Lee Han had no time to listen.
No matter how excellent Professor Garcia or Professor Kirmin were as mages, they couldn’t block such unexpected methods.
“If you lose him, I’ll summon every being I know from dimensions and banish you to the most distant and remote place! Chase him, you bastard! You must catch him! You clean up the dimension you brought!”
Apazrakon, who had spent his entire life quietly focusing only on himself in his race’s dimension, was able to learn for the first time what ‘unreasonableness’ meant.
Apazrakon attempted to re-enter the dimension that had been stolen from him. However, just as it was difficult for the opponent to interfere with him, it was also difficult for him to interfere with the opponent.
The Other Person was already stretching out so far that it was difficult to even track their information, disappearing into the distance. At this rate, when they returned to the Material Realm, they would have easily gained a distance of over ten kilometers.
“Professor!! Actually, the reason I entered the dimension was to challenge the Flame Giant King, not to chase after that Juzen bastard!! Please come back first!!”
Even knowing it was over, Lee Han shouted loudly. Naturally, there was no way the disappeared Professor Boladi could hear him.
And honestly, it wasn’t a very convincing statement either. Even if The Other Person had heard it, they probably wouldn’t have believed it much.
“Ugh…!”
Lee Han could hardly believe what had happened in such a brief moment.
All of this had occurred from just a moment’s carelessness.
If he could follow his feelings, he wanted to punch everyone from those Worshippers of Evil Gods to that Angel.
“Calm down, Student Lee Han.”
Professor Garcia comforted Lee Han with a worried expression. Professor Kirmin also chimed in.
“It’s not your fault, Wardanaz. Professor Bagrek acting on his own was what was wrong.”
“More than that, how did you know the Professor would slip away?”
“You said there were more survivors than expected.”
“???”
Professor Garcia didn’t understand. However, Professor Kirmin let out a sigh.
“That’s it! That was it!”
“…Um, excuse me. Could you explain it to me too?”
“Ah. Sorry, Professor Kim.”
Professor Kirmin turned his gaze to his confused colleague.
Not everyone at Einroguard was an expert in Bagrek studies. Wardanaz or himself might be one thing, but Professor Garcia was still lacking.
“So… among those Evil Deity bastards, there are more survivors with direct grudges than expected, right?”
“That’s right…?”
Professor Garcia still didn’t understand. Professor Kirmin kindly broke it down in detail as if he understood.
1. Among the Worshippers of Evil Gods, there are more survivors who have grudges against Professor Boladi himself than expected.
2. Although the Order has no intention of attacking due to their circumstances, with so many survivors, variables could arise at any time.
3. Therefore, it would be rational to go around separately and cut off the breath of all remaining survivors.
“…Wait, wait. I don’t understand number 3?? Even if the killing part makes sense, why go around separately?”
“I’m the Professor’s disciple. If the Professor goes around separately, they might pay attention to the Professor, but they wouldn’t pay attention to a mere disciple like me.”
‘I could give him full marks in Bagrek studies.’
Professor Kirmin thought to himself.
Unlike himself, whose senses had dulled (in fact, that’s why his reaction was slow even after hearing Boladi’s words earlier), this disciple maintained sharp senses through recent harsh learning.
In his prime, Professor Kirmin could read all of his friend’s emotions with just a single cough…
“Ah. So that’s why you brought up the Flame Giant King story?”
“Exactly right.”
Professor Kirmin spoke regretfully on his behalf.
Probably the moment Professor Boladi heard that his disciple had chased The Other Person beyond dimensions, he realized that his disciple had stepped forward to eliminate the remaining grudges against his family.
Perhaps that was what drove the final nail. Once he knew that, with Boladi’s personality, there was no way he would stay still.
“Thinking about it, I should have grabbed him right then to prevent his escape…”
“…”
Professor Garcia made an expression of utter exasperation.
‘Can’t these people just sit down and have a calm conversation?’
Professor Bagrek, his disciple, and that friend too – it was exasperating how they would read dozens of thoughts from a single clue and act accordingly.
Couldn’t they just sit down and resolve things calmly through conversation!
However, Professor Garcia couldn’t bring herself to speak up.
Both of them were very dejected, having lost their friend and Master.
“…Please cheer up, both of you. Professor Bagrek won’t push himself too hard either.”
“He wouldn’t, right?”
“Of course not, Student Lee Han.”
“What if we ask Prince Uman to put a bounty on the Professor…”
“…That doesn’t seem like a very good method.”
