Surviving as a Mage in a Magic Academy - Chapter 376

Chapter 376

Yi-Han threw questions at the undead mage to extract more information.

The undead mage, also very curious about the situation outside, readily answered Yi-Han's questions.

Originally, this palace was used as a residence by the King of Ghouls, and the king's royal guard protected the throne, while the king's soldiers patrolled around the palace, firmly blocking the approach of wandering intruders.

Although the King of Ghouls was a violent tyrant, his power was real, so even when chaos erupted nearby, the king's palace burned with darkness, lofty without a single flicker...

"There was nothing like that."

-What??-

"There was nothing like that. No burning darkness... It was just an ordinary building. We could easily enter."

Although the undead mage had no flesh or muscle on his face, he could still express shock with just bones.possible! The flames of omnipotence have been extinguished! The arrogant king wouldn't have just watched that happen!-

"Shouting at me is pointless..."

The undead mage was confused for a while, not knowing how to react to this unbelievable news from outside.

At that moment, a clanking sound came from the opposite passage.

-This is bad! The prisoners are coming!-

"Aren't you a prisoner too?"

-Our circumstances may be the same, but our status is different. Those guys enjoy struggle and pain.-

Those imprisoned in the dungeon of this palace had the same circumstances but different statuses.

Some, like the undead mage, were imprisoned for refusing the orders given by the King of Ghouls, while others, like the ones walking from the opposite side, were caught and thrown in for violently enjoying fights.

In the latter case, rather than despairing about being trapped in an inescapable prison, they tried to maintain their hobbies even inside.

They attacked and tried to defeat fellow prisoners inside the prison.

Anyway, even if the undead prisoners in this underground prison were shattered and collapsed, they were set to recover and resurrect after just a week. It was a place of unparalleled happiness for battle maniacs who loved to fight.

-Do you know why there are no bars here? It's because the king wants the prisoners to fight each other.-

"I understand. So what should we do?"

-What should we do? Don't resist and accept it. They'll like it more if you pick a fight.-

The undead berserkers in the underground prison were fascinated by fighting itself.

Unless they hid and luckily avoided it like the undead mage, confronting them would only stimulate the opponent.

Of course, for Yi-Han, the undead mage's words were nonsense that couldn't be accepted.

'I can't resurrect.'

"Let's fight together."

-What do you mean fight together? Why should I?-

"If the enemy approaches, I'll definitely draw them in anyway. Don't regret it later and fight together from the beginning."

-...I don't know where you came from, but you must have been born with a vile bloodline!-

The undead mage spat out curses and walked out of the cell.

Still, the mage seemed to dislike the undead berserkers who caused trouble every time more than an intruder like Yi-Han, so he gave sincere advice as soon as he came out.

-They are tough and numerous.-

As a result of attaching the flesh of strong ones and grinding muscles while wandering this prison for an uncountable long period, the defense of the undead berserkers was so persistent that ordinary magic couldn't penetrate it.

Moreover, they didn't wander alone but formed groups, so from the undead mage's perspective, no matter how much he tried to compete with magic, there was no answer.

-To counter this, one magic is not enough... So what magic can you use?-

Instead of answering, Yi-Han cast a spell.

As there was no time, he couldn't wait and explain one by one.

When over ten skeleton warriors took their positions in the corridor, the undead mage looked at Yi-Han as if it was quite impressive.

-I don't know which kingdom you came from, but you seem to be at least a chief mage.-

"..."

Ogoldos, who was being supported next to him, felt it was so absurd that he couldn't even speak.

-But their movements are too slow. It seems you haven't practiced undead summoning much.-

"Yes. I'm still very lacking."

But other skeleton warriors remained. Yi-Han issued a command while infusing mana to the point of bursting.

The bone spears couldn't penetrate the berserker's body like the arrows Yi-Han had directly shot, but the cold imbued at their tips made the berserker slightly slower. As continuous attacks came in, the berserker was annoyed and tried to swing his club again.

"Cold, become arrows and shoot forth!"

Yi-Han swung his staff and shot out ice arrows. As the ice hit, the cold burst out, and the berserker's movements stopped once again.

Sharakan charged forward with a war cry.

Persistently aiming for attacks that would sever the ankles, the berserker gave up his offensive and tried to deal with the surrounding enemies first.

Creak!

As about half of the skeleton warriors were annihilated with a single attack, the undead mage lamented.

He knew undead summoning wasn't the junior's main specialty, but to think he was this clumsy.

If he had known, he would have just told him to save mana and use it for other elemental magic...

"Rise, warriors made of bones!"

Yi-Han chanted spells quickly without even breathing. It was an urgent situation where things could go wrong with a 1-second difference. He couldn't let his guard down at all.

The shattered skeleton warriors rose as if nothing had happened. The berserker glared at Yi-Han as if it was absurd.

-Don't waste mana like that!-

"I'm calculating it myself, so you don't need to worry!"

-Is that true? If so...-

The undead mage honestly didn't believe it, but he decided to acknowledge Yi-Han's words for now and move on.

There was no time to question the truth in the current situation.

He seemed to be a mage with a fairly high position in the kingdom, so he probably wouldn't tell such an absurd lie.

-Poison, poison that melts bones and burns muscles, rise again from within...-

Mages who used poison had various tricks.

One of them was the technique of pre-summoning poison and storing it somewhere in the body.

It was a very dangerous method, but it utilized the characteristics of the poison element to quickly respond in an emergency, so outstanding poison element mages were skilled in this technique as well.

The undead mage spat out the stored poison and simultaneously consumed mana to refill the poison.

Just by doing that, he felt his mana gradually running out.

-Bones, offer your mana to your master...-

As a last resort, the undead mage was absorbing the residual mana left in the bones he had shot earlier to recover, but he was shocked when he looked to the side.

Yi-Han was recklessly firing ice arrows like a madman.

Papapapapapapapak!

Ice arrows raged to the point where frost formed on the berserker's body.

Although there were no attacks penetrating the body, the cold penetrated as the skeleton warriors were already holding on and clinging, noticeably slowing the berserker's movements.

In the anxious situation, Yi-Han quickly calculated while gathering his thoughts.

'Should I go with arrows? Not only is time an issue, but there's a limit to the damage. Jade bullets... That's too much. If it's the lightning element...'

As lightning began to gather, flashing from Yi-Han's staff, the undead mage shouted.

-Don't use lightning! It's a waste of mana. They have a strong resistance to lightning!-

"Is that so!?"

Yi-Han cursed Ferkuntra.

What a useless spirit.

-Listen carefully to what I'm about to say! I'll teach you my secret multi-poison. You create and use the poison!-

"I'm not very familiar with poison element magic!"

-A chief mage of a kingdom should be able to master it quickly. The theory itself is not that difficult! It's the combination that's difficult!-

"I'm not a chief mage of a kingdom, and I'm not familiar with poison element magic..."

Ignoring Yi-Han's words, the undead mage immediately began explaining poison element magic.
