Chapter 059
“Can’t we just abandon them and leave? There’s a 90% chance we’ll be in danger too.”
Asan said urgently.
At those words, not only the Black Turtle Tower students but even the Blue Dragon Tower students looked at Asan with shocked expressions.
How could he say such a thing?
“Hey. Even if we’re talking about the White Tiger Tower guys, there are priests there too.”
“We can’t abandon the priests too.”
“How can you think so coldly?”
Lee Han felt a pang of guilt at the other students’ reactions.
In truth, Lee Han had been thinking the same thing as Asan.
“It’s too late to leave them behind! Everyone scatter for now!”
Nilia shouted urgently.
Having faced dangerous monsters in the mountain range several times, Nilia knew well about such situations.
Running away blindly with a chasing monster behind them was more dangerous.
They needed to scatter first to tie up its feet and escape step by step.
Rowena asked urgently while running.
“That 【Yumidifus’s Water Orb】 magic you used earlier, can you use it again?”
“What? I don’t know what that is, but I can’t use it right now! Just help everyone evacuate!”
While answering, Lee Han belatedly remembered who Yumidifus was.
He was a famous Imperial mage who created various water attribute magics.
But regardless, he couldn’t use it right now. Hadn’t it taken him dozens of minutes to complete it earlier?
With the mud golem charging at them right now…
I hide in the night!
“I hide in the night!“
I breathe at night!
I hide in the night!
Lee Han chanted the incantation. Lee Han’s body disappeared into the rain.
He had already confirmed earlier that the mud golem searched for enemies visually.
‘It’s a shame, but…’
Approaching the mud golem, Lee Han took out the smoke chalk from his pocket.
It was one of the imperfect artifacts he had bought at the Black Turtle Tower black market.
‘Go!’
Crack!
With a breaking sound, smoke billowed up near the mud golem. The mud golem hesitated at the sudden visual obstruction.
Lee Han drew the sword of the Imperial anti-magic extremist, Dawn Star, that he had received from the Principal.
The blade of the black-purple stone sword made an eerie sound as it absorbed the surrounding mana. The bone summon recoiled and moved away to the side.
‘I’ll aim for the legs!’
Thunk!
Thunk!
Thunk!
Thud!
Thud!
Lee Han had no intention of catching the mud golem from the beginning.
‘Just blocking their vision and restraining their movement is enough. Mud golems are different from other monsters. As long as the students disappear from sight, they won’t keep chasing.’
The effect of the morning star was better than expected.
The mud golem, whose heel connecting its thick legs had been slashed, lost its balance and swayed unsteadily before dropping to one knee, unable to recover immediately.
Then something fell from above.
Lee Han instinctively caught it.
It was a White Tiger Tower dwarf.
Bartrek Bark, who had been caught in the mud golem’s fist, looked around with bewildered eyes.
Someone invisible was carrying him.
“What are you doing? Aren’t you getting up?”
Bartrek was startled by someone’s indifferent voice from out of sight and quickly straightened up.
“Are you perhaps a Wardanaz?”
This time it was Ihan’s turn to be surprised.
‘What’s with this white tiger top guy? How did he know?’
“How did you know?”
“I just thought that Wordanas from the Blue Dragon Tower was the only one who would do something like this…”
Lee Han was dumbfounded.
No, how does that even make sense…
“Help Bartrek! Help Bartrek!”
“Bartrek! We’re coming!”
As the mud golem came to a halt, the White Tiger Tower students regrouped and prepared to launch their attack.
It was truly remarkable that his fighting spirit remained completely unbroken even after taking such a beating and having to flee.
Of course, Ihan was furious.
“Those bastards who are truly unnecessary in life!”
“Those bastards who are truly unnecessary in life!”
“Those bastards who are truly unnecessary in life!”
Batrec pretended not to hear for the sake of Wardanaz’s honor, who had just saved him.
‘Can’t these bastards even evacuate properly?!’
Lee Han’s plan was simple.
Using the mud golem’s weakness he had discovered earlier, Lee Han would confuse its vision and buy time.
Meanwhile, the students would evacuate properly on their own.
Once all the students disappeared, Lee Han would also disappear leisurely using the power of the invisibility belt.
It was a simple yet fairly decent plan, but the White Tiger Tower students had completely ruined it.
Of course, the White Tiger Tower students hadn’t heard Lee Han’s plan, so there were extenuating circumstances, but that didn’t mean much to Lee Han.
“Hey, tell them to run away!”
“Everyone get away! You don’t need to come help me!”
Batrec was flustered but did as Lee Han instructed for now.
Right now, it wasn’t another student but Lee Han who had blocked the mud golem’s vision and saved him.
Tower pride aside, if he had any conscience, this was a situation he couldn’t refuse.
…But the White Tiger Tower students ignored Batrec’s words.
“Batrec! We’re coming to help you now!”
“Batrec, we’re coming!”
“…”
Batrec unconsciously glanced at Lee Han. Of course, he couldn’t see him since he was invisible.
Thud-
Thud-
Thud-
The mud golem, which had been stopped due to the smoke bomb exploding nearby and recovering its legs, slowly began to move again.
Thud-
Thud-
Smoke had erupted all around, and the mud golem that had been stationary while recovering its legs was slowly beginning to move again.
It seemed that the White Tiger Tower students running through the smoke screen had provoked the mud golem. The golem turned its head and appeared to stare intently at the White Tiger Tower students.
‘Anyone can see it looks like confirming and tracking a target.’
“Hey. How did you break through to get this far? The mud golem wouldn’t have given you an easy path.”
Lee Han asked Bartrek.
Lee Han could use invisibility magic to circle behind the mud golem, but the White Tiger Tower students had no such method.
“We made mud dissolving potions and threw them. Priest Siana knew how to make them…”
“!”
Lee Han was surprised. To think such a thing existed.
If such a thing existed, it wouldn’t be impossible to weaken the mud golem itself.
“Perfect! Where are those potions?”
“We used them all up…”
“…”
Lee Han almost hit the back of their heads while invisible, then stopped. To waste such precious potions so carelessly.
Are your heads just helmet stands?
‘Sigh.’
After letting out a sigh, Lee Han focused again.
The White Tiger Tower students didn’t seem to have any intention of retreating…
In this situation, he had to deal maximum damage to the mud golem before the smoke completely disappeared.
What was the best method right now?
‘Slashing with Dawn Star would make wounds too small compared to its size, and water orbs would take too long.’
Without time to think, the White Tiger Tower students were getting closer. The mud golem had already raised its fist.
‘Damn!’
Blaze up!
“Blaze up!“
Burn bright!
Blaze up!
It was magic that came more from instinct than from thinking with his head.
Since he was close to the mud golem, it was within range, and it was more aggressive than other magic.
…However, the effect was far better than Lee Han had expected.
Whoooooosh!
Whoooooosh!
Whoooooosh!
“?!?”
Bartrek was startled and fell prone.
Suddenly fierce flames shot up and completely engulfed the mud golem.
The flames that should have been extinguished by the pouring rain continued to burn without stopping, using Lee Han’s mana as fuel.
“Am… Amazing!!”
Bartrek honestly admired it.
Among the White Tiger Tower students, there were many who disliked and were jealous of Wardanaz, but this was impossible not to acknowledge.
For the same new student to burn up a mud golem like this with one magic spell.
The difference was so great that it inspired more awe than jealousy.
“This is crazy!”
“??”
However, Lee Han spat out curses instead of admiration.
‘I’m sorry, Professor Garcia!’
Lee Han was now learning with his body why Professor Garcia had told him to practice fire elemental magic a bit later.
In his urgency, he had poured more mana into the magic than he could control, and immediately the flames escaped Lee Han’s control and ran wild on their own.
He had become too arrogant from his earlier success.
Fortunately, the mud golem absorbed all the rampaging flames with its own body.
Otherwise, the flames would have spread in other directions.
Crack!
Crack!
Crack!
‘What?’
Lee Han looked up at the cracking sounds.
The mud golem was crumbling as it was baked by the flames.
People often thought that baking soil in fire would make it harder, but if the soil wasn’t properly prepared, baking it in fire wouldn’t make it harder.
Rather, it was vulnerable to fire and crumbled like this.
“…To… to think you aimed for this…!”
Bartrek could no longer even admire it.
And Lee Han could no longer respond either.
* * *
Lee Han released his invisibility magic.
And together with the White Tiger Tower students who had rushed over, he coordinated to slash and stab the mud golem.
Since it was already cracked and crumbling, the mud golem could no longer endure. It collapsed and fell over.
“Waaaah!”
“We got it! We got it!”
“Thanks to you! Well done!!”
“?”
Lee Han was puzzled as he watched the White Tiger Tower students crowd around him with gratitude.
‘What’s this?’
Of course he understood they were happy about defeating the golem, but to suddenly act so friendly after fighting until now?
“…But who were you again? I don’t remember seeing you…?”
“Which family are you from?”
“???”
The White Tiger Tower students were thanking Lee Han when they felt something was strange.
Since he was fighting with a sword next to Bartrek, they naturally assumed he was a fellow White Tiger Tower student…
But the more they looked, the less he seemed like a White Tiger Tower student.
Unable to watch any longer, Bartrek stepped forward instead.
“He’s not from our tower, he’s Wardanaz from Blue Dragon Tower.”
“…Aaaahhh!”
The White Tiger Tower students who had been grateful just moments before were startled and stepped back.
Some even fell over.
‘They seem more surprised than when the mud golem attacked.’
“What… what are your intentions… with us?”
”
“No, more than that, how did you deceive us? Did you use the rain? Even so, it doesn’t make sense?”
“No, more importantly, how did you deceive us? Did you use the rain? Even so, it doesn’t make sense.
”
“Did you deceive us with magic??”
“Did you deceive us with magic??”
“Did you deceive us with magic??”
While the White Tiger Tower students spouted nonsense and let their imaginations run wild, Lee Han shook his head as if they were pathetic.
Bartrek spoke while limping. He had been injured when the mud golem grabbed him earlier.
“Wardanaz here came to help us. He saved me. Everyone stop talking nonsense.”
“Bartrek! Are you okay?”
“I think I sprained it a bit, but I’m fine. Could you gather the other students? It would be better to gather them in one place before they scatter further.”
The White Tiger Tower students nodded at Bartrek’s words.
Not all the students were the hot-blooded ones who had charged in.
Not all the students who charged forward were filled with youthful vigor.
The priests of Phoenix Tower and the timid (clever in Lee Han’s view) White Tiger Tower students chose to flee instead of fight.
They needed to be called back before they got lost in the mountains while fleeing in haste.
“But…”
“?”
“It’s okay to leave just Bartrek behind, right? Wardanaz, you won’t do anything to Bartrek, will you?”
“…”
“Ah, no. It’s not that I don’t trust your honor, but Bartrek is injured right now…”
The White Tiger Tower students who met Lee Han’s cold gaze shrank back and made rambling excuses.
* * *
“No one missing?”
“None. I checked everyone.”
Lee Han confirmed the headcount of Blue Dragon Tower and Black Turtle Tower students.
Looking to the side, it seemed White Tiger Tower and Phoenix Tower students had all gathered as well.
Lee Han’s side had no injured, but White Tiger Tower students had the most casualties.
Having recklessly charged at the mud golem, there were few students without bruises or fractures.
The priests of Phoenix Tower gave first aid to those friends. Especially Priest Siana, true to her Flaming Order origins, made and distributed pain relief potions and bruise treatment potions.
Yoner was impressed watching her skill.
“Truly amazing! Being from the Flaming Order, you know many crafting methods, and your speed and skill in making them…”
“…”
However, Lee Han, who had heard about Priest Siana’s jealousy, had complicated thoughts.
-If only you would disappear, I’d be first!!
…Such words suddenly flashed through his mind.
‘I’ve already made enemies with White Tiger Tower, but I don’t want to make enemies with Phoenix Tower too…’
While Lee Han was thinking this, Priest Siana approached.
“I heard you fought the mud golem directly, please drink this. It’s a bruise treatment potion.”
“Lee Han isn’t injured…”
Yoner tried to kindly explain, but Lee Han was one step faster.
He quickly took the potion, downed it in one shot, and exclaimed with all his might.
“This is… the most excellent potion I’ve ever drunk!!”
“Huh?”
Yoner was puzzled by Lee Han’s intense reaction.
Of course, Priest Siana’s skill was outstanding, but a hastily made potion couldn’t be that good…?
However, Lee Han’s intense reaction was just getting started.
The skills honed from being forced to listen to professors’ boring stories burst into flames.
“Did you make this potion yourself? I can’t believe it! This should be sold for money! Oh gods!”
Lee Han exclaimed while glancing sideways.
Then he could clearly see it.
Priest Siana’s face brightening with a smile!
