Chapter 1207

‘What kind of guy is this? Just which faction raised this mage?’

“I apologize. I was somewhat rude.”

The Immortal bowed first.

He couldn’t afford to clash with a formidable opponent when he hadn’t even achieved his desired goal yet.

Of course, that didn’t necessarily mean he would lose in a direct confrontation, but since he didn’t know what means the other party might possess…

“What should I say?”

Lee Han whispered to the hamster, slightly flustered.

This was the first time he’d received such a polite apology from an evil worshipper.

The evil worshippers he’d encountered so far usually just screamed strange cries, spat incomprehensible curses, or made sounds like ‘Hiiek! Monster!’

-The bastard is scared.

The hamster immediately grasped the situation upon seeing the opponent’s reaction.

Evil worshippers were like the embodiment of bullying the weak and fearing the strong. They would never easily show such an attitude.

Even though he seemed to be of fairly high rank, the fact that he was acting this way meant he must have misunderstood something after seeing the powerful magical defense Wardanaz had just displayed.

“A misunderstanding?”

-Generally, divine power doesn’t get deflected that easily. It’s not like you resisted after it had somewhat taken effect. From his perspective, he can’t tell what kind of monster you are.

“I see…”

Lee Han nodded at the hamster’s advice.

Indeed, his magical power often caused misunderstandings among others. That evil worshipper was definitely evaluating him higher than necessary.

-Act as strong and arrogant as possible. There’s nothing good about being looked down upon by him.

“Ah, understood.”

Before the opponent could become suspicious, Lee Han quickly followed the advice.

“Hmph. What pathetically worthless divine power.”

-…I told you to act strong and arrogant, not to pick a fight!

The hamster was horrified.

Acting strong and arrogant was completely different from picking fights and insulting someone.

He just needed to say something like ‘my magic is such and such’ moderately, so why was he picking a fight by calling the divine power pathetically worthless?

“But you told me to act strong and arrogant!”

Lee Han felt genuinely wronged.

The strong and arrogant mages around him usually acted like this!

The hamster realized that Wardanaz’s senses had become numb because there were too many crazy mages around him.

He should have had moderately strong and arrogant mages around him, but there were only extremely strong and arrogant mages.

“Since these are the words of one who knows nothing about truth, I’ll just let it pass.”

Fortunately, the Immortal took another step back instead of delivering a punishing blow to the insolent one.

This was because he had read the hidden confidence in the opponent’s aggressive provocation.

Perhaps he was deliberately trying to provoke this side. The Immortal coldly assessed his enemy.

“What business brings you to this domain?”

“I came for the same reason as you. You must have made a contract with the Demon Hag as well.”

“…You’re saying you were the Demon Hag’s contractor?”

‘Huh?’

When the Immortal showed signs of surprise, Lee Han was puzzled.

Since the opponent had been speaking politely from their first meeting, he naturally thought the other party had realized they both had connections to the Demon Hag…

He didn’t know?

“That’s strange. If he didn’t know, why did he treat me politely? It might be a trap.”

-After seeing you fight, he must have thought you were a formidable opponent he couldn’t easily deal with.

The hamster spoke as if asking what he was talking about.

If the opponent had acted politely without knowing about the Demon Hag, there was only one remaining reason.

He had misunderstood after seeing the fighting.

Wardanaz’s characteristic firepower, like his magical power, was good at deceiving those who didn’t know better. They were probably mistaking his current level for several stages higher.

“…Ah. I see.”

“I was surprised when I heard that Demon Hag had made a contract… but seeing this, it makes sense. Remarkable.”

The Immortal immediately regained his composure.

While the fact that he was the Demon Hag’s contractor was surprising, there were also aspects that made sense.

How common could mages be who would interest that picky monster? If the mage before him was such an existence, it certainly made sense.

“Then that means you also came to attack Seinguiros’s cultists.”

“That’s right.”

Lee Han answered while turning his mind.

How could he make good use of these guys?

“How did you find this location?”

“?”

Lee Han hesitated at the unexpected question.

-He wasn’t invited by Seinguiros. There’s a high possibility he doesn’t even know Seinguiros’s identity.

‘Ah.’

That was certainly true.

Unlike Lee Han, who had directly conversed with Seinguiros and even received a key, those evil worshippers must have visited the domain by finding clues one by one from the beginning.

Of course, he couldn’t tell them this directly…

“Pathetic. Are you asking because you don’t even know that?”

Lee Han deflected with a displeased tone. At that arrogant appearance, the Immortal’s eyes flickered.

‘This is why mage bastards are… Every single one of them is arrogant and conceited.’

Mages were all the same.

Bastards who didn’t even know what the true path was, getting cocky believing only in their shallow knowledge.

And the most humiliating point was that the Immortal himself didn’t know that shallow knowledge.

Just how did he find and enter this place directly?

‘Did the Demon Hag tell him? This damn bastard. Since when has she been so generous to contractors?’

The Demon Hag was absolutely not such a kind existence.

Even if she wanted to collect the heads of Seinguiros worshippers, she would have given orders to collect them on their own, not personally find and tell them the location.

“Trivial conversation is enough up to here. Further talk would just be a waste of time.”

Having made up his mind, Lee Han quickly cut off the conversation.

Originally he had intended to use them, but the opponent seemed quite formidable.

Rather than continuing the conversation and risking having his identity exposed or information stolen, it would be better to part ways now.

‘How dare he? What a disgustingly arrogant bastard!’

The Immortal inwardly raged at that cold attitude.

Who would dare act like that in front of him!

It had been so long since he’d dealt with such insolent people that he couldn’t even remember when.

Still, the Immortal controlled his emotions. Punishment for this rudeness could be returned later.

“Then we must each move separately! Give my regards to the Demon Hag.”

Lee Han didn’t answer. He was thinking of quickly creating distance before his true abilities were revealed.

However, an unexpected situation arose.

-How dare outsiders visit the sacred vampire family’s territory without permission.

Along with an ominous voice, a group appeared from inside the swamp.

Lee Han shuddered at that intense and twisted aura. It was completely different power from the undead he had just defeated.

These seemed to have been quite a powerful group even when alive. Just looking at the armor and weapons they wore, their level could be guessed.

Though they were now old, rusted, and worn looking shabby, instead the corrupted magical power flowing through the domain overflowed like a curse.

‘Something like the western vampire family’s guard unit?’

-Be careful. These guys won’t be as easy as before.

The hamster also grasped the situation and immediately warned.

They looked like warriors who were seasoned in fighting mages, and with the ability to use evil deity power on top of that, their resistance to magic would be even stronger.

They might have to prepare for close combat.

“Vampire family? Slaves abandoned by their master who lost their reason, yet your words are grandiose.”

The Immortal immediately sneered.

Since this bishop didn’t know what kind of beings these undead were or how the rules of this realm worked, he was completely unrestrained.

In the realms of evil god worshippers, beings who had lost their reason and become undead like this were usually losers.

Those who had dropped out midway on the path of faith, betrayed, or been consumed by greed.

It was hard not to feel contempt when such losers were threatening him while invoking their authority from when they were alive.

“…I am a noble from a vampire family. Can’t you tell by looking?”

“?!”

The immortal who had been preparing for battle was flustered by Lee Han’s statement.

He couldn’t understand what that meant at all.

A mage of that caliber wouldn’t be trying to avoid battle out of fear…

Was there some hidden meaning behind it?

‘Twisted and corrupted undead wouldn’t be swayed by such words. What exactly is his scheme…?’

-That’s right. You do seem to be a noble from a vampire family.

“!!!”

However, the undead once again overturned the immortal’s expectations.

The beings who should have ignored him without even listening had obediently accepted his words.

The immortal sensed something strange. There seemed to be some rule in this realm that he didn’t know about.

-Then sweep away only those disgusting vermin!

“…Prepare for battle! Turn those slaves into dimensional dust.”

As the two sides opposed each other, Lee Han breathed a sigh of relief. He hadn’t wanted to face such an enemy in direct confrontation.

‘I should thank the Demon Hag.’

The Demon Hag might have anticipated this from the beginning and recommended cooperation.

Since evil god worshippers were generally belligerent, with just a little push they immediately became arrow catchers.

‘I don’t think that’s it though…’

The hamster quietly thought to himself.

No matter how powerful a dimensional being was, could they really predict something like this?

* * *

“Um, this is taking longer than expected, how about we go check on him?”

Professor Garcia asked the Yachaowang cautiously.

This king of yachas was such a high-ranking figure that even Professor Garcia found it difficult to treat him casually.

Professor of Einroguard. Osu’s disciple is handling the test well on his own. If real danger approaches, I’ll be able to see it, but the reason I’m asking this despite knowing is because of anxiety about my own combat abilities? If I’m projecting that anxiety onto my disciple…

Professor Garcia was thoroughly stripped down to the bottom of his soul before returning to his place.

Gathering his confused mind, Professor Garcia thought.

‘How on earth does Lee Han get along so well with that guy?’

No matter how he thought about it, it was amazing.

Of course, building friendships with all sorts of strange beings was his disciple’s specialty, but that Yachaowang was really too much.

“Professor. Professor.”

“What is it?”

Professor Kirmin answered with slight wariness.

Since Professor Garcia had been so scary lately, he couldn’t help but worry first.

“Would you like to sneak out and watch over him?”

“Hmm.”

Professor Kirmin fell into thought at the unexpected words.

Certainly, the Yachaowang’s current order didn’t sit well with him.

Logically, he knew that Lee Han alone had received the key, and rather than needlessly provoking the mad evil god, it was better for him to move alone and find the path…

…but just sitting still didn’t preserve his dignity as a professor.

“True, even if we help from afar, we could erase our traces before the evil god detects us.”

“Exactly!”

Once the two professors reached some agreement, they called for another accomplice.

It was Professor Boladi.

“Professor Bagrek. What do you think?”

Professor Boladi didn’t answer.

“??”

“Boladi. Why aren’t you answer…”

Professor Kirmin’s expression changed.

Could it be?

Thud!

Professor Kirmin immediately kicked his friend’s leg. It made the sound of hitting solid rock rather than human flesh.

He had already set up a projection and slipped away earlier.

“…”

“H-how?!”

“It’s that angel bastard’s dimension. Angel! Let’s have a word!”

Professor Kirmin gritted his teeth as he called for Apazrakon.

Because that stupid angel had lost his dimension, his friend was now backstabbing him in several times more varied ways than before!
