Chapter 1212

-What are you doing?!!!

Befitting a great magic that had felled the Blasphemer in a single blow, the lightning spear of demon annihilation displayed terrifying power.

The ancient magic that had been nearing completion with countless sacrifices scattered with a bone-chilling scream. The magical power that had been spreading a terrible bloody scent, and the souls contained within it, quickly escaped outside the fortress.

-To destroy such a rare magic! Why on earth!!

The hamster shouted with such fury it seemed ready to bite at any moment.

This mage criminal had committed countless evil deeds in his lifetime, but compared to the evil deed that Wardanaz brat had just committed, those were nothing.

Not only preventing the completion of this great magic, but even destroying it.

An ancient secret that no one had ever been able to complete!

-Don’t tell me you’re going to babble like those Empire fools about not learning evil magic?! There is no good or evil in magic! There is only magic!

The concept that mage criminals hated most was evil magic.

Even poison can become medicine when used well, and even good people can become evil, so what right does the Empire have to define evil magic?

If that was the reason for the destruction, the hamster would have felt truly contemptuous.

However, the reason Lee Han had unleashed great magic from the start exceeded the hamster’s expectations even further.

“That bastard kept making me angry.”

-…

There are times when a person is so angry or so dumbfounded that words simply won’t come out.

That was exactly how the hamster felt right now.

A reason like ‘I sealed it forever because it was evil magic’ would have felt better.

-You… you destroyed that magic because it made you angry?

The hamster found himself stuttering without realizing it.

Sure, the corrupted evil deity’s babbling could be annoying, but to destroy that power because of it?!!

An excellent choice. I feel pride in this contract.

However, Perkuntra praised Lee Han highly.

Though he had been summoned many times feeling deceived by this contractor, this time he was filled with reward and pride.

To firmly reject an evil deity’s proposal.

It didn’t matter how valid and reasonable that proposal was. It wouldn’t matter even if it was 100% beneficial.

What mattered was the will to be able to reject the proposal.

Without such will, even if one got lucky once or twice, they would inevitably fall into a trap or be bewitched someday.

-I agree. As a demon, I pay respect to the spirit that rejects such favor.

-These pathetic thought-forms who don’t know the first thing about magic…!

The hamster shouted with eyes turned red.

To have to hear such words from ignorant dimensional beings who knew nothing about the discipline of magic, who were simply born with power.

-Isn’t that mage bewitched?

Sarataan asked carefully.

Just as the heads of vampire families could be bewitched by magic, the hamster could easily be bewitched by magic as well.

Since the one pointing this out was also a mage, he couldn’t completely escape it either.

“!”

Lee Han was startled by those words.

No wonder the hamster was getting so angry!

“Indeed, that could be it! Honestly, I thought he was getting too angry.”

-It’s not that getting angry is strange, but the obsession with magic…

Getting angry was actually understandable.

Wasn’t it not exactly a normal reaction to immediately destroy magic just because an evil deity’s babbling was annoying?

Unlike the Thunder King or the demon, Sarataan honestly found it a bit wasteful.

Regardless, Lee Han finished convincing himself and threw the hamster into his bag. He planned to leave him in the basement until he came to his senses.

How dare! How dare!! How dare!!!!

The evil deity’s rage that erupted belatedly began to cover the entire swampland.

The blood-red sky cracked and the already weakened fortress collapsed as if crumbling down.

The undead of the region were sucked up through the cracked sky with screams, and the evil deity worshipper priests fighting near the castle gate were completely annihilated by the sudden assault.

Be careful!

Perkuntra protected his contractor with the most serious expression he had shown so far.

Fighting the master in an evil deity’s domain was never an easy task. Even a Spirit King had to prepare seriously.

Moreover, the current opponent seemed so enraged that he was devouring even all his own minions to turn them into power.

-Behind you!

!

At Mahuda’s shout, Perkuntra turned his gaze as if startled.

As the demon said, a powerful magical reaction was being felt from behind Lee Han.

However, it wasn’t because of the evil deity’s ambush. The exact location of the magical reaction was inside the backpack.

‘What?!’

Lee Han was no less confused than the other two.

Could it be that the hamster thrown into the basement was causing some kind of accident?

Pop!

Before his brief contemplation could end, the culprit revealed itself. When a white grimoire with a familiar pattern appeared, Lee Han’s eyes widened.

The spirit book containing soul fragments left behind by the Skeleton Principal’s projection.

The opened book injected information with soul characters instead of letters. Lee Han could instinctively know the name of the magic the book was trying to transmit now.

Microcosm, Dunamis!

There’s no need for reckless acts. I can escape from here with my power alone!

Feeling the resonance of powerful magic, Perkuntra shouted worriedly.

His contractor had already reached the limits of his stamina from summoning a Spirit King and a powerful demon.

No matter how much he endured with magical power, his body was still that of a mortal.

Attempting to cast excessive magic just to confront the evil deity could be a self-defeating move.

However, Lee Han was already completely assimilating the new magic.

Unlike Perkuntra, Mahuda, who was sharing a body with Lee Han, shuddered at the mysterious ancient microcosm magic and shouted.

-What… what kind of magic is this?! Did mages create such magic too?

I don’t know what magic it is, but speak comprehensibly, you demon bastard! We need to escape!

Even at Perkuntra’s harsh words, Mahuda was confused instead of angry.

That’s how difficult this magic was to explain.

-So this is… this is…

Just go back in and rot forever, you stupid fool!

The Thunder King got angry and prepared for battle.

Since that demon was of no help at all, he had to step forward more. As he grasped lightning and drew diagonal lines around, threatening lightning bows appeared to defend the surroundings.

‘It’s coming!’

A sinister strike flew through the crack in the split blood-red sky. It was a wave of power mixed with massive resentment and curses.

Perkuntra burst out a war cry and drew reverse lightning from earth to heaven.

Kwaaaaaa-!

Ugh…!

From just one collision, Perkuntra felt disadvantaged. The opponent could mobilize everything accumulated in their domain, while he had to endure in enemy territory relying only on his contractor’s magical power.

Considering this contractor’s physical condition, the longer the fight lasted…

Swish!

Suddenly something flew from behind.

It was a tiny water droplet. It was so mismatched with the scale of battle that was turning heaven and earth upside down that it felt awkward.

Perkuntra was also slightly flustered.

He knew Lee Han often used water element magic, but this wasn’t a situation where throwing water bullets at the current opponent would work.

If he had such leisure, he should focus on defense and evasion before quickly escaping.

‘Wait. Was it originally like this?’

Perkuntra belatedly realized something strange. Originally, his contractor’s magic was about the size of a fist.

Why had it become so small?

!

The water droplet began to reveal its true nature as it rose against the air.

In the face of the waves of resentment and curses pouring from the cracks in the blood-red sky, the water droplet seemed like just a single leaf, but that leaf glided smoothly through the gaps, undaunted by the fierce countercurrent.

Only then could Perkuntra recall the true identity of that magic.

That wasn’t the water orb bullet the contractor had been using.

It was the Skeleton Principal’s magic, Hwidor!

‘How is that possible?!’

Even the power was exactly the same. Having been beaten and subdued by the Skeleton Principal, the Thunder King could truly feel the magic’s might.

The water droplet pierced through the enemy’s waves and rose up, leaving a wound on the evil deity.

———!

Though the wound itself wasn’t very large, the evil deity howled and writhed in agony at the pain it felt for the first time in its existence.

Has he come too?!

Perkuntra turned around in surprise. If the Skeleton Principal hadn’t come in person, then this current situation made no sense.

However, the Skeleton Principal wasn’t there.

There was only Lee Han, staggering and gripping his staff.

Lee Han felt his vision turning red. The strong metallic taste in his nose and mouth clearly indicated an overload from the small world.

“This small world allows me to bring forth and use magic from the future…”

-Don’t speak! You fool!

Sarataan desperately tried to share the mage’s burden somehow.

Just now, this small world had displayed an amazing power that even the demon found incomprehensible.

To allow a mage to cast magic they would be able to use in the future!

But the backlash was by no means trivial. The more powerful the magic brought forth, the more exponentially the mage’s burden increased.

Then don’t focus on attacking and bring spatial magic that can help you escape! Don’t do something so reckless!

“I’ll… I’ll try.”

Perkuntra anxiously looked up at the sky.

Strangely, the evil deity didn’t reappear. Perhaps because it wasn’t accustomed to pain, but it was fortunate for them.

They had to escape now!

* * *

Finally, he has revealed an opening.

The Death Knights were surprised by the Yachaowang’s sudden statement.

Though the Yachaowang had full authority over this subjugation force, he hadn’t done much since arriving in the domain.

He only gave orders to his successor and stood around idly, so much so that even the Death Knights who knew the Yachaowang’s status muttered behind his back, ‘Is that really him?’

But suddenly the opponent had revealed an opening?

-What do you mean he revealed an opening?

When Osu’s disciple gains new magic, he becomes enraged and reveals openings.

-???

The Death Knights became even more confused.

As wise ones typically do, their statements were difficult for the unwise to understand.

Especially in the Yachaowang’s case, this was severe – even after hearing explanations, it was impossible to understand what he was talking about.

What did it mean that the evil deity would become enraged and reveal openings when his successor gained new magic?

Now! It’s good to begin now.

Suddenly the entire domain shook. The sounds of great horns and conch shells shook the dimension, and yachas came charging fiercely from all directions.

The army the king had brought had been lying in ambush without even the knights knowing!

-What is this… wait, who is commanding this?

Even while panicking, the Death Knight asked a sharp question.

Since the Yachaowang was deceiving both enemy and ally here, there had to be a separate commander to lead the ambushed army.

It wasn’t an ordinary person. The Death Knight worried that perhaps the Skeleton Principal had come.

‘Could it be that Master secretly came out? If so, it wouldn’t be an ordinary burden for him…’

“Aaaaaaaaaaah!”

Ibinta the Iron Cloak screamed and collapsed on the spot. The knights were puzzled by his fit.

-What’s wrong? First time seeing a yacha army like some country bumpkin?

“Behind there! Behind there! A monster!”

-What… no, Lord Hierdan!

The Death Knights saw the eldest son of the Wardanaz Family leading the yachas from afar and finally understood everything.

The Skeleton Principal had summoned both of them from the beginning.

It was truly a powerful combination that strongly conveyed his will to quickly suppress this incident.

Hierdan descended from his chariot that had been racing through the air and gave a light nod to the Yachaowang.

“The strategy to make the evil deity let down its guard was truly excellent.”

Accept the praise gladly, eldest son of Wardanaz. Your ambush was also excellent.

‘Really a combination I don’t want to get involved with.’

The knights shuddered. They’d rather go to the punishment room than be between those two.

“What strategy did you use to make the evil deity let down its guard?”

Hierdan asked to understand the situation.

Now they would have to go directly attack the enemy, so knowing what bait the enemy had fallen for was quite important information.

Osu’s disciple willingly took on the role of the lion’s parasitic worm.

“If you mean Gonadaltes’ disciple, are you referring to Professor Garcia?”

No.

“Then are you referring to Professor Bagrek?”

The Death Knights swallowed nonexistent saliva and slowly backed away.

They instinctively felt fear.

This conversation, surely…

No. I’m talking about your brother.

“Ah.”
