Chapter 699

While the second-year students lost interest in smuggling thanks to Lee Han and Giselle’s persuasion, the commotion at the checkpoint was growing even more intense.

As the giant and the mad blade bear ran wild, other third-year students gradually began drawing their staffs.

-Don’t draw your staffs!

“Ah. I was just wondering if I polished my staff well last night… Sacred light, burn the undead!”

-What kind of pathetic trick is this!

“Fellow students, gather! Let us defeat the Skeleton Principal’s minions and restore Einroguard’s glory!”

“Revolution! Revolution!”

-Another rebellion!

The scale of the commotion flared up like wildfire.

The Death Knights cried out as if fed up and called for reinforcements.

-Quickly subdue these mages!

“You’ll pay the price for throwing us in the punishment room last fall! Negative energy barrier!”

“Liberation from dark elements!”

“Intermediate undead weakening, undead tracking sight, undead confusion…”

‘No way. How many times have these seniors fought the Death Knights?’

Lee Han watched the checkpoint battle with admiration.

The seniors hadn’t fought the Skeleton Principal’s minions just once or twice, as they immediately pulled out prepared spells and unleashed them.

One of a mage’s strengths was the flexibility to strike at the weaknesses of enemies stronger than themselves, depending on preparation.

The seniors were clearly demonstrating that flexibility. Several Death Knights took hits and were reverse-summoned.

Bang! Pop pop pop bang!

Various spells exploded in the air, and flames, explosions, flashes, energy waves, and shockwaves swept through the surroundings.

A White Tiger Tower senior who had transformed into a massive Arcsaurus received enhancement magic support from friends and crushed the Death Knights.

A Black Turtle Tower senior who climbed on top consecutively threw potion bottles from the air, then cast activation magic to create chain effects between them. A storm of energy collisions struck the area.

Meanwhile, several Blue Dragon Tower seniors completed the grand magic they had been preparing. A spatial rift opened, and a Crimson Lizard flicking its burning tongue looked down through the torn opening.

A deadly rain of fire fell. Each streak of rain destroyed and burned everything when it struck.

It was an intense grand magic combining spirit arts, summoning magic, elemental magic applications, and more.

‘Amazing!’

Lee Han was impressed.

“Hey, you bastards! Who are you shooting at?!”

“You meat shields, shut up and just fight.”

“Do these sons of bitches want to die!”

“Try it if you can. Really, they’re like stinking beasts.”

“…”

Lee Han was shocked.

Fighting each other in such an urgent situation!

The other friends seemed to agree as they muttered.

“Isn’t that going too far with words?”

“Wow. Even when I cursed behind Wardanaz’s back after getting beaten by him, I didn’t talk like that.”

“Hey. Wardanaz is right next to you.”

For the second-year students who had spent a year bickering with each other but still uniting when it mattered, the seniors’ deadly quarrel was quite bewildering.

Even Giselle seemed flustered as she watched the fight with shocked eyes.

“Moradi. Aren’t the seniors going too far?”

“Do they really need to go that far?”

Lee Han kindly answered the White Tiger Tower students’ questions on Moradi’s behalf.

“Moradi wouldn’t be surprised by something like that.”

“…Ha, ha. What do you mean by that, you bastard?”

“Hmm, it was a compliment.”

The Phoenix Tower seniors who were equally healing the injured cried out.

“If you’re going to fight, fight later! It’s hard to treat patients right now!”

“Fight with magic that’s easy to heal! The spells you’re using on the Death Knights now make messy wounds that are hard to treat…!”

‘Shouldn’t they be stopped for different reasons?’

While the students were quarreling, reinforcements for the Death Knights arrived.

-Warehouse Keeper sir. We ask for your help.

The Warehouse Keeper nodded.

The students who started a revolution today were not blessed with luck.

This checkpoint inspection was the most thoroughly prepared one in the past decade.

One part of that was the summoned creature the Skeleton Principal had left behind.

At first, he wondered why such a summoned creature was left behind when they weren’t dealing with some mighty lightning spirit, but it was certain it could handle the current situation.

“Come forth. Ananci!”

“!”

As the Skeleton Principal’s massive summoned creature appeared through a rift in the air, the students fighting at the checkpoint were startled.

“Even a summoned creature!?”

“Isn’t this going too far?! Why did they prepare so much?!”

“We can’t back down now anyway! Defeat the summoned creature too!”

The student who had shouted boldly suddenly collapsed. Sticky spider webs were wrapped tightly around his entire body, blocking his movement.

“A, Ananci!”

“Crazy…! It’s Ananci!”

Along with the students’ screams, a giant spider revealed itself.

A spider the size of a giant glared at the students with its eight gleaming eyes.

-Students showing interest in pranks instead of studies?

“Shut up, Ananci! Does this look like a prank to you!”

“You lackey of the Skeleton Principal, do you know our desperation!”

Magic struck the spider’s massive body. However, Ananci overcame the impact with just a light shake of its body. It had truly tremendous defensive power.

After shaking off the attack, Ananci’s body suddenly rippled and swelled up terrifyingly.

Then it exhaled its breath. The spider’s dark breath stiffened and poisoned the students.

“Cough!”

“Urgh!”

“Dodge!”

After easily sweeping away the students gathered at the checkpoint, Ananci clicked its legs and lunged as if biting at the rift in the air.

The Crimson Lizard flicking its tongue that the students had summoned clashed with Ananci.

The rain of fire burned Ananci while the spider’s deadly poison poisoned the lizard. It was truly a battle of giant forces.

However, as the Skeleton Principal’s minion receiving the power of the domain, Ananci had to be more advantageous than beings from other dimensions. The Crimson Lizard made a humiliating sound and fled beyond dimensions.

Because of this, several Blue Dragon Tower students maintaining the grand magic collapsed coughing up blood. It was the rebound from magic destruction.

“Lee Han, let’s fall back!”

“We should. Everyone retreat!”

The second-year students who hadn’t participated in the checkpoint battle quickly retreated.

Other seniors who hadn’t participated also withdrew likewise. Ananci instantly bound the students remaining near the checkpoint with spider webs and solidified them with its breath.

-Good work, Ananci.

-Thanks to you, it ended quickly.

Ananci didn’t answer and made clicking sounds even louder than before.

At that sound, the Death Knights suddenly felt uneasy.

Ananci, once the terror of the underground kingdom, was different from other powerful and brutal monsters – it was a being that had driven nearby Dark Elf and Dwarf tribes to despair with its playful and mischievous nature.

That personality had improved greatly after submitting to the Skeleton Principal, but it hadn’t completely disappeared.

Especially when seeing students’ pranks, its competitive spirit would ignite, and when this happened, it wasn’t easy to stop.

-Don’t tell me…

-I should send them all to the punishment room!

Ananci’s eight eyes gleamed maliciously. From that sight, Lee Han felt a sensation he had experienced countless times before.

…The sensation when things went wrong!

“Kids! Fall back further!! That crazy summoned creature is coming this way!!!”

The remaining students from second to fourth year quickly began to move.

Lee Han cast spells frantically and summoned his creatures. The dark skeleton warriors formed a solid formation and aimed their arrows.

The baby basilisk in his sleeve seemed to have awakened, making aggressive hissing sounds while looking at Ananci.

It seemed like it was asking to be allowed to fight.

Lee Han said firmly.

“…That seems like too early an opponent for you to fight!”

Looking at the difference in their size, even though both possessed deadly poison, it seemed dangerous.

Ananci’s body swelled up.

And once again, dark breath was exhaled.

-That spider bastard really!

-Kill it! Make it come to its senses!

The Death Knights cursed as they drew their blazing blue negative energy swords.

Students were one thing, but there was no reason to show mercy to a summoned creature like Ananci. In an instant, massive wounds appeared on Ananci’s back and torso, and its body shriveled from the negative energy.

Regardless, Ananci excitedly swelled its body even more and spewed dark breath. It was properly excited at this long-awaited opportunity for mischief.

“Ugh… Crazy…”

Ogoldos from the Dark Magic School staggered and fell to his knees.

As a student majoring in dark magic, nothing was more humiliating than being poisoned, but Ananci’s breath was truly terrible.

A magical breath that stiffened the body the moment it was inhaled.

Blocking any means…

“Senior!”

Lee Han, enhanced with strengthening magic, quickly ran over, lifted Ogoldos onto his shoulder, and hurriedly ran out.

Ogoldos, in his paralyzed state, could only roll his eyes to look at Lee Han.

“Y… o… h… w…?”

His tongue was stiff so his pronunciation wouldn’t come out properly. Lee Han quickly threw Ogoldos in front of the Phoenix Tower seniors.

“Seniors! Please help!”

“Al, alright! …Wait, how are you, junior…”

Regardless, Lee Han went back in and dragged out friends or seniors who had been unluckily caught.

Seeing Lee Han running while carrying Anfargon from the Enchantment School on his back, the other seniors cried out in shock.

“There’s someone saving Anfargon?!”

“He must be new to second year! Junior! Trust us! Trust us and abandon that guy! If you don’t, you’ll regret it later!”

“…”

Amid the shock and jeers, Lee Han set Anfargon down in front of the Phoenix Tower seniors.

‘I should hide that I’m taking Enchantment School classes.’

When Lee Han rushed back into the breath area, he saw the Death Knights surrounding and beating up Ananci.

The terrible dark breath obscured his vision, but the light orbs Lee Han had summoned were no joke either. They pierced through the darkness and captured its form.

‘Good. It’ll be subdued soon…’

-Top Student! Come here and help us! This spider bastard has gone crazy!

-Top Student! Quickly!

“?”

Lee Han momentarily looked around.

He wondered if there was someone else there.

“…”

And he realized belatedly.

‘It’s me!’

Come to think of it, they were calling him!

“I don’t have the ability to deal damage to a monster like that!”

-Oh, really? Can’t you use 【Gonadaltes’ Sword】 or 【Gonadaltes’ Hatred】?

“…”

The Death Knights said awkwardly.

-Then you could just go rest…

Ananci’s breath burst out once more and the darkness grew even thicker.

Then Lee Han’s crest suddenly began to glow.

-Who is it?

The Death Knights looked at the glowing crest with confusion.

Who had he contracted with to appear in this situation?

“…Who was this again?”

-…

“It wasn’t Perkuntra, and it wasn’t Upinum, and not the phoenix… and not a spirit either…”

While the Death Knights stared in bewilderment, the answer soon came.

The undead mage who had fought alongside them in the Ghoul King’s palace took form in the darkness and walked out.

-Contractor… it’s been a while…!

“!”

Lee Han was also surprised.

The contractor’s environment had become similar to the original dimension, satisfying the summoning conditions?

He knew that among beings from other dimensions, some could only be summoned under special conditions, but he never thought he’d see them like this.

“Verdus!”

-…Wait, who did you say?

-Please say you heard wrong! Quickly!

The Death Knights showed a more intense reaction than expected and were horrified.

They’d rather catch it themselves than receive help from a certain professor!
