Chapter 909

Fortunately, the Wardanaz Family Boy overcame his fear and strongly wished for the Demigod Hamster.

Pop!

The giant skeleton disappeared and a giant hamster appeared in its place.

-Ham, hamster?!

-Is there a mountain-destroying hamster too??

The giants were bewildered when a wriggling giant hamster tried to poke its head out of the black coffin.

The Mage Criminal Hamster trapped in the cage let out a sigh of relief and shouted.

-Well done. Focus! Maintain it and pour attacks on it!

Of course, just because it had taken the form of a hamster didn’t mean the demigod would be easy to deal with.

Moreover, wasn’t this an artificial thought entity created by that tyrant to dominate the continent?

Still, the hamster form was better than the lich form.

-Get back in there!

One giant roughly swung his club and landed a blow on the Demigod Hamster.

Making a sound like a landslide, the Demigod Hamster staggered.

-Strike!

-Enemy of Wardanaz!

The giants unleashed a fierce assault on the Demigod Hamster. When the giants, who usually acted gently while tending sheep, revealed their true strength, their destructive power was beyond imagination.

However, despite this, the Demigod Hamster’s body continued to recover.

Even though it was being beaten, it was enough to make the giants flinch.

-Wh… what is this hamster!

-It’s scarier than the sheep!

Stop your attacks.

-Hmph!

Despite the Demigod Hamster’s warning, the giant delivered another powerful blow.

Then the Demigod Hamster let out a sharp cry.

■■■■■■■■!

-My, my club!

-My club! I paid a fortune to have it crafted!

The giants screamed.

The clubs they were holding instantly rotted away and disappeared. It was as if hundreds of years had passed for them alone.

-Grr!

Just because their clubs had disappeared didn’t mean the giants gave up. They tore rocks from the mountain range and threw them at the black coffin, and pulled up large trees to swing them.

-Stop it! You idiots! The order and laws have changed!

It wasn’t the Demigod Hamster but the Mage Criminal Hamster that squeaked out a scream.

The cry the Demigod Hamster had just made wasn’t a simple cry.

It had twisted the order and laws near that black coffin to suit itself!

Probably attack nullification and…

‘That won’t be the only thing!’

If it was the ability of a combat demigod, it was likely to be even more troublesome.

Sure enough, the clothes the giants were wearing began to transform like shackles.

-Uurgh?

-Gah, gaah!

-That’s why I told you to retreat!

No matter how much the hamster in the cage squeaked, the giants wouldn’t listen. Lee Han instead shouted explosively with mana.

“Retreat! Retreat!”

-Retreat!

-We don’t retreat! We advance backwards!

The giants were wise. They didn’t recklessly charge at strong enemies without any chance of winning.

“What is that?”

-Probably… probably a law of submission or subjugation… I’d need to see more to know for sure!

Not simply nullifying attacks, but a law that made enemies who attacked it kneel and turned them into slaves to use as an army.

It was truly a cheat-like ability.

“What kind of nonsense… even after changing it to a hamster?!”

-It’s only using laws like that because you changed it to a hamster! If it had been in lich form, that thing would have poured out every terrible dark magic it knew. Think about it using all of Lord Gonadaltes’ dark magic that you know!

Lee Han shuddered and gritted his teeth.

‘…Changing it to Gainando wouldn’t have much effect either.’

Whether hamster or Gainando, if it could use a demigod’s laws, it was just a cheat-like existence.

Just changing it to a hamster had already sufficiently blocked other abilities.

And Gainando would be more competent than a hamster…

-In front!

While he was pondering, his reaction was a beat too late.

The Demigod Hamster seemed to have realized Lee Han was the leader of the giant group and began actively checking him.

“!!!”

Space distorted, and Lee Han felt himself being pulled toward the black coffin floating in the air.

-It’s trying to devour you! Break free!

Lee Han didn’t ask what would happen if the demigod swallowed him. He didn’t have time for that. Magic instinctively unfolded.

One was Wardanaz telekinesis. The powerful 5th circle wandless magic blocked the attraction and somehow stopped Lee Han.

And the other was…

Crackle!

“Lightning, dwell and manifest!”

Because he forcibly cast magic he hadn’t perfectly mastered yet, his mouth filled with a metallic taste as if iron shards had been thrown in.

‘Rebound!’

Forcibly casting magic beyond one’s level didn’t just result in failure but also placed a powerful burden on the mage himself.

Though Lee Han rarely experienced this due to his usual talent and luck, he had walked too many precarious tightropes without considering his limits, and finally something went wrong.

But Lee Han couldn’t back down. Retreating in the current situation would create worse results than not acting at all.

Enormous mana swept around Lee Han like a storm.

Though Lee Han usually controlled mana as carefully as scooping with a teaspoon when casting magic, now he boldly radiated mana to prevent the rebound.

The wild lightning that had escaped control bounced off instead of striking and lashing Lee Han’s body, scattering outward.

Having put out the urgent fire, Lee Han gritted his teeth. Failing twice would be truly dangerous.

“…Lightning, dwell and manifest!!”

His other hand not holding the staff instantly transformed into lightning.

It was lightning imbued with thought, on a different dimension from the lightning elements he usually used.

Lee Han, the master of the magic, felt its meaning more clearly than anyone.

Pierce through and penetrate the enemy!

The bubbling power suddenly extended outward toward the black coffin.

At that powerful magic, the Mage Criminal Hamster trapped in the cage screamed.

-I told you the order and laws have changed!

“!”

Lee Han, whose vision had narrowed from concentrating on the attack, opened his eyes wide.

Come to think of it, with the demigod’s laws defending, a rash attack was…

Crack!

The magic, 【Wardanaz’s Lightning Fire】, penetrated straight through the Demigod Hamster.

The Mage Criminal Hamster was more surprised than either Lee Han who cast it or the demigod who was hit.

‘How!?’

Of course, the magic he had just shown was high-level magic that was hard to believe came from a lower-year student at Einroguard.

At minimum 5th Circle, and transforming the properties of lightning to contain high-dimensional concepts or ideas was even higher level than that.

And he had cast it while maintaining another 5th Circle magic…

The hamster was an archmage, but this was enough to show respect to an outstanding junior.

However, laws were merciless.

No matter how amazing the acrobatics and growth this new mage displayed, the laws remained unchanged.

If a demigod deployed laws of attack nullification and submission, they could not be overcome.

Yet he had overcome and penetrated them?

‘Does this mean he broke through the laws with just 5th Circle magic?!’

Since the opponent had changed the laws through force, the countermeasure was simple.

He just needed to change the laws through force as well.

The problem was that for a mage to do so, they needed to start with at least a miniature world.

Among high-level magic, there were spells that could change laws by exploiting loopholes in the world without deploying a miniature world, but at least those weren’t 5th Circle.

To display enough power to break through laws with just 5th Circle magic…!

Stop attacking, commander.

The demigod hamster cried out in frustration as Lee Han, who was supposed to be the commander, attacked him.

Even that last attack had somehow penetrated the defense made from laws.

“Who’s your commander?”

Lee Han spat blood and prepared his next magic.

The damage he had just dealt disappeared instantly, but his side had infinite mana anyway. He planned to pour out magic until his mental strength was in tatters.

However, the demigod hamster was one step ahead of Lee Han.

Instead of engaging in a brawl with a mage who had sharp lightning that couldn’t be defended against, he attempted to go around.

Lee Han, who had gotten closer due to cutting through space, was now suddenly far away again.

And simultaneously, the space between Lee Han and the demigod hamster transformed geometrically and became distorted.

‘Aiming…!’

Lee Han realized the opponent’s scheme.

If he could penetrate laws and deal damage the moment he made contact, then all the hamster had to do was make it impossible to even aim by raising the difficulty of the surroundings.

When Lee Han tried to charge in directly, the hamster would twist space to increase distance, and increase it, and increase it again…

Lee Han felt almost helpless at how the hamster instantly created obstacles like the paradox of the fired arrow.

‘He’s going to summon this kind of thing in legion units?’

At first he thought the insane doppelganger was crazy, but now he thought that given time, continental conquest might really have been a viable story.

He was already tied up like this just trying to reverse-summon one demigod that hadn’t even escaped its coffin yet, but if other demigods appeared additionally…

“Student Lee Han!”

“!”

At the familiar voice of the troll hybrid professor, Lee Han felt a surge of emotion.

In the distance, Professor Garcia and Professor Boladi, along with death knights, were flying over.

“Are the other professors coming too?”

-Pardon?

“…Haven’t you realized the current situation?”

-Ah! I understand now.

The death knight corrected Lee Han’s misunderstanding.

Even if something happened at Einroguard (for example, a demigod being summoned), the professors wouldn’t come running immediately.

In fact, those who stepped forward at times like this were the Skeleton Principal’s minions, namely beings like death knights.

Since incidents and accidents were so frequent, if all the professors visited every time they felt powerful waves, they wouldn’t be able to handle the academic schedule.

The death knights would check and handle things, and only if it still seemed difficult would a support request be sent to the professors.

“…But these two came…!”

“I was worried about Student Lee Han, so I came just in case. Professor Bagrek here too.”

“…”

Lee Han was disgusted with Einroguard’s cold school rules.

Even if he had to submit an anonymous complaint later, he felt like he should change these kinds of school rules.

“That’s fine. Just having you two here is enough! There’s a reason for the saying about reinforcements!”

“Student Lee Han. Is that blood around your mouth?”

“…Some potion must have splashed earlier. That’s not what’s important right now!”

The two professors quickly exchanged glances. Professor Garcia sent telepathy with worried eyes.

‘It seems like he’s overdoing it. Should we send him back to school?’

‘I understand.’

‘Yes? What do you mean?’

‘I’ll subdue him now, so Professor Garcia, take him back.’

‘No, no. I was talking about persuading him??’

Professor Boladi quietly shook his head.

If he were a disciple who would return after being persuaded, he wouldn’t have been doing this here in the first place.

Since there was no way to refute this, Professor Garcia was momentarily at a loss for words.

Unaware that the two professors were discussing a sinister ambush, Lee Han quickly explained the situation.

“The principal! Has gone crazy! Continental conquest!”

…Due to urgency, it wasn’t very effective.

“The purpose has been reversed.”

“The principal’s reversed doppelganger is summoning demigods to create an army.”

Fortunately, the two professors were smart. Even though Lee Han spoke terribly, they understood very well.

“But if it’s just the principal’s doppelganger, shouldn’t he be able to sufficiently block or avoid the world’s resistance? Why this situation?”

“There must have been confusion or agitation.”

“Could Student Lee Han’s influence have played a small part?”

“Probably. An outstanding disciple influences the master too.”

Sensing something ominous in the two professors’ conversation, Lee Han asked in confusion.

“What did you just say?”

“Nothing at all. Student Lee Han. Just focus on reverse-summoning the demigod.”

“That’s what I was waiting for instructions on…”
