Chapter 1208

Thanks to this, Angel Apazragon got to experience the irrationality of mortals firsthand.

“Why did you lose your dimension? Huh?”

“If you had such a dimension, you should have managed it more carefully.”

-I don’t fully understand the habits of mortals, but I know that usually in such cases, the thieves are punished, yet why do both the seeker and the mages blame me…

The two professors ignored the angel’s protest. It was truly a method befitting Einroguard professors.

“Fortunately, you have a chance to atone.”

“Isn’t that fortunate? Mr. Apazragon must have been bored while waiting.”

-I don’t feel emotions like boredom…

Apazragon tried to explain again.

The celestials of multiple dimensions were beings with little desire except for their purpose. Such a race wouldn’t feel boredom just from waiting a little.

“So open the dimension for us.”

“We promise not to use it for bad things, only for good deeds.”

The two professors revealed their true colors.

The Divine Light Annihilation dimension used by this angel was like a kind of shadow dimension, and there was no better authority for secretly observing someone.

The problem was that the angel, having been robbed once by a thief, had firmly hidden the dimension.

Theft was always easiest for whoever got in first.

-I refuse. Sharing a celestial dimension with mortals is…

“You already shared it!”

“That’s right. You told Professor Bagrek about it!”

-That wasn’t telling…

The two professors pushed and pulled, bewildering the angel who wasn’t accustomed to conversations between mortals.

“I heard you’re walking the path of ancient magic. If you want to continue gaining wisdom at Einroguard, it would be good to cooperate.”

“For reference, our position is ‘Professor.’ You might not know, but it’s an incredibly powerful position within the territory.”

The stick and…

“If you cooperate, we can help you in the future too. Think carefully about whose disciple Wardanaz is.”

“I won’t bother saying who the professor Lee Han respects most is.”

…the carrot.

Apazragon, still not accustomed to mortal society, gradually lost his judgment.

Eventually, this angel surrendered and spoke.

-Fine. I’ll open the dimension. But I’m coming along too.

“Do as you please. Do as you please. Just open it quickly before Wardanaz moves too far away.”

While Apazragon opened the Divine Light Annihilation dimension, Professor Garcia whispered with a slightly guilty voice.

“I feel a bit like we’re deceiving an innocent angel too much.”

“Professor Kim. If that angel had managed his dimension more carefully from the start, Wardanaz wouldn’t have caused such chaos either.”

“…Should we check if he has any other useful authorities? Just in case, let’s secure them all?”

Professor Garcia immediately strengthened her resolve.

Come to think of it, it wasn’t long ago that she had received criticism about combat power from her disciple.

Perhaps she should abandon such weak attitudes and take everything she could get?

* * *

Pop!

The mages and angel, transformed from existence into concepts, flew near the swampland.

Sure enough, there was already a prior visitor. Professor Kirmin and Professor Garcia, discovering the flickering concept, poured out fierce criticism.

-Such a selfish bastard.

-We’ve been looking for you all semester, and this is how you repay us? Setting up a projection and sneaking out without a word?

Professor Boladi calmly explained.

-If several move together, the chance of detection is high.

-…

-…

The two professors wanted to exit the dimension and grab their colleague by the collar in reality.

If they could have done so, they really might have.

-…Let’s just watch too. Getting angry only hurts us.

-What’s the current situation? There shouldn’t be any trouble.

Professor Garcia tried to adapt to this unfamiliar dimension.

Dimensions accessed in such different forms required a slight adaptation process.

For mortals who received information through their five senses based on their physical bodies, this method of transforming into pure concepts and receiving waves of surrounding information was bound to be unfamiliar.

It could be called a kind of focusing process.

Professor Boladi had escaped much earlier, so his adaptation would be complete, but Professor Garcia was still…

-He’s fighting using evil worshippers from another order.

-What????

Professor Garcia was shocked.

She thought he would be fighting undead at most, but what on earth?

Hastily concentrating her mind, the complex flowing information began to take shape.

And just as Professor Boladi said, there really was another evil worshipper order!

-Why are those guys here… Ah.

Professor Garcia stopped mid-shout.

She belatedly remembered that her disciple had made a contract with the Demon Hag.

-In such a disgusting and corrupt dimension, any kind of evil beings could exist. Not particularly surprising.

-…

-…

Professor Kirmin and Professor Boladi stared at their junior.

Blood is thicker than water, but wasn’t this a bit much?

-Boladi. The reason those guys are here is probably because of Wardanaz’s contract. As I mentioned before, he made a contract with the Demon Hag.

-You mean the dangerous contract you didn’t stop.

‘I really want to challenge him to a duel.’

Professor Kirmin trembled with anger.

The most extraordinary thing about his friend was that he wasn’t doing this on purpose.

What would be the point of Professor Kirmin mocking someone a hundred times to make them angry?

His opponent could achieve this level of destructive power with one unintentional throw!

-Right. Someone suddenly ran away, but I won’t bring that up again now.

-But why isn’t Lee Han fighting?

Professor Garcia, who had checked the situation further, was puzzled.

Currently, the undead of the domain and the evil worshipper priests were fiercely clashing, but Lee Han was keeping his distance and observing.

How was that possible?

-It seems he’s deceiving the evil worshippers and using them as shields…

-How?

Professor Kirmin fell silent.

No particular method came to mind.

How did he really do it?

‘Did he do this when contracting with the Demon Hag? He couldn’t have made such a detailed contract, could he?’

Unable to find an answer, Professor Kirmin changed the subject.

-Those undead… are they old western vampires?

-Family guards.

At his friend’s acknowledgment, Professor Kirmin felt slightly worried.

When you think about it, weren’t they old enemies?

Considering the vengeful spirit his friend had shown before, he couldn’t help but worry.

-Are you okay?

-They’re already dead. There’s nothing to be not okay about.

Professor Boladi answered calmly. Contrary to Professor Kirmin’s worry, this mage wasn’t burning with vengeance.

What Professor Boladi was thinking about now was only one thing.

It was to eliminate the evil deity and finish off the remnants of the order, completely cutting off future troubles.

-If you hadn’t chased after us, we would have handled it ourselves.

The two professors responded coldly to Professor Boladi’s words.

-You didn’t listen to the Principal either. Think of it as karma.

-The Professor does whatever he wants, so why can’t student Lee Han do whatever he wants?

-…

While they conversed, the battle was racing toward its end.

The evil worshippers led by the immortal had taken considerable damage, but they still managed to sweep most of the undead into the marshlands.

Professor Garcia let out a sigh of relief. It seemed to have concluded well somehow.

Rumble!

From beneath the marshlands, a massive rusted and broken fortress newly revealed itself.

Most of the parts that could be called castle walls were cracked or collapsed, with only a few spires barely maintaining their form.

However, the eerie aura flowing from between the wreckage and ruins was stronger rather than weaker.

Professor Kirmin frowned. That fortress seemed somehow familiar.

-It’s the Blood Mist Fortress.

-!

At his friend’s words, Professor Kirmin’s memory belatedly returned.

No wonder that fortress seemed familiar – it was the fortress that had served as a stronghold for the western vampires who had rebelled.

-Then it would be better not to approach the fortress.

The undead wandering this domain were fools who had worshipped evil deities in life.

They were receiving a punishment more terrifying than any other – having their souls half-devoured and losing the essence of their existence while wandering the domain.

But that didn’t mean they weren’t dangerous.

Especially fortresses where such bloody battles had taken place were thick with resentment and evil thoughts, making it highly likely that powerful undead were swarming inside.

-I agree.

Professor Boladi also agreed.

There was no need to conquer such a fortress just to find a way to approach Seinguiros.

Such things could be chosen as a last resort after checking other places more thoroughly.

-…Student Lee Han is going straight in though?

-?!

Professor Kirmin was greatly flustered.

Just as Professor Garcia had said, he could see Wardanaz entering the fortress without hesitation.

-Boladi. You’ve used this dimension for a long time, can’t you send telepathy from inside?

Angel Apazragon answered firmly to those words.

-This dimension is not one where such things are possible.

It was a dimension used solely for movement and observation – what kind of message sending and communication could be done here?

-I sent it.

-…

Apazragon was shocked.

When had he modified it?

-Well done.

-For a mortal who isn’t celestial to tamper with dimensions as they please…

-Could you be quiet? I need to worry about my disciple.

Under the harassment of these wicked mortals, Apazragon felt emotions faintly boiling up.

Though they were emotions of the celestial race that had atrophied from disuse, being continuously stimulated like this…

-Wait. Wardanaz is just going in? Did you really send it?

-Yes.

-Didn’t student Lee Han just ignore the Professor’s words?

For a moment, an awkward silence circled within the dimension.

Professor Kirmin cleared his throat and said.

-Well, all students are like that. You were too.

It wasn’t particularly helpful words.

Professor Garcia thought the atmosphere inside this narrow dimension was truly stifling.

‘Is there no ventilation perhaps?’

* * *

-Reckless, but not an incomprehensible choice.

The hamster unexpectedly respected Lee Han’s choice to enter the fortress.

It was because Seinguiros’s voice could be heard from within the revealed fortress.

Quite impressive, quite impressive indeed. Hahaha… If you have confidence, try entering this fortress. There are plenty of magics that you mages would covet. Hahahaha…

Though no one else present could hear it, Lee Han could.

The hamster thought it was a gamble worth trying.

Though many families had disappeared due to the rebellion, the vampires of the western Empire had a deep history. There was no telling what legacy they might possess.

Moreover, hadn’t the Yachaowang also said he felt magical energy from these marshlands?

If that wise king had advised it, they might be able to find quite powerful magics.

Seinguiros was also showing favor toward this youngster.

-It wouldn’t be good to trust a corrupted evil deity too much, but it’s been useful so far. Look for magic.

“Huh? Magic?”

-…Didn’t you come in for the magic?

“I came in because I was curious about what exactly happened in the past.”

-…

The hamster was momentarily at a loss for words.

The evil deity had just mentioned magic, yet such trivial matters of the past were important?

If he was curious, couldn’t he just read history books!
