Surviving as a Mage in a Magic Academy - Chapter 567

Chapter 567

Of course, Yi-Han didn't believe the Death Knights' words either.

'It could be a trick.'

The Death Knights could be lying, or it could be a minion that the Death Knights didn't know about.

The Death Knights, who noticed such a hint, were so resentful that they could die.

-Look. Wardanaz. The master has such an uncontrollable monster... Well, anyway, he doesn't have such a thing!-

-The master has such a dangerous-looking thing... Although he does, I've never seen that thing before!-

"..."

"..."

Not only Yi-Han but also the priests looked at the Death Knights with increasingly suspicious eyes.

The Death Knights suppressed their sadness and surrounded the blood-sucking monster.

-Deal with it. It's clearly an annoying bastard.-

-Where did this thing pop out from? If you have a mouth, speak up.-

Spears and swords with rippling dark energy were aimed at the blood-sucking monster. Feeling threatened, the blood-sucking monster moved explosively.

Swish!

The creature's movement became so fast that only its shadow could be seen. However, the Death Knights didn't try to compete with it in speed.

Bam!

One Death Knight was attacked by the blood-sucking monster and flew away.

-■■■■■■■!-

The monster was roaring in victory, but that was a hasty judgment. The Death Knight's sword was deeply embedded in the blood-sucking monster's left leg.

Crackle crackle crackle-

In an instant, the monster's left leg froze to the ground. The Death Knight who had flown away got up, restoring his shattered armor and crushed helmet.

-Keep bragging about being fast in this domain.-

The Death Knights snickered at the blood-sucking monster. Yi-Han newly felt the strength of these summons.

Even if Einroguard's power was strengthening them, for each summon to have such advanced judgment and powerful combat ability.

"You're amazing!"

-Huh? Suddenly?-

-Why?-

The Death Knights who were on standby were startled by Yi-Han's praise.

"Because my summons can't show an appearance like you."

-Ah. That's natural. It's not easy to command Death Knights like us.-

-First of all, it will be difficult to find the material. A knight with lingering regrets and vows is needed...-

'White Tiger Tower students?'

When he mentioned knights with many resentments, the White Tiger Tower knights came to mind first.

Even while having that conversation, the Death Knights at the front were pouring attacks on the blood-sucking monster.

The blood-sucking monster, with one leg bound, couldn't avoid the Death Knights' attacks and was mercilessly beaten.

-Like before! Try it! Like before!-

-You insolent! Huh? I said try it!-

Whenever the condensed dark energy weapons pierced the blood-sucking monster, it dealt a blow deep into its existence.

It swung its claws brutally and shot blood in the form of sharp thorns, but the Death Knights poured out attacks in a 'you hit, I strike' manner.

Most of them couldn't even pierce the armor, and the occasional attack that pierced the armor was immediately healed by the darkness rippling inside.

Yi-Han understood why Death Knights were often used as a typical example of summons commanded by evil dark mages in fairy tales.

Heavy offensive power and solid defensive power.

Intelligence to judge the enemy's weaknesses based on combat experience accumulated in life and lead in the most advantageous way.

And a relentlessness that doesn't hesitate to use despicable methods, completely unrelated to the honor they had in life.

The last part was close to an insult, but Yi-Han considered it a compliment.

'If there's a mage who keeps healing them, there's no answer.'

There were two ways to defeat undead: one was to deal a huge blow to the summon itself that couldn't be healed and reverse-summon it, and the other was to defeat the mage.

But the former was almost impossible for Death Knights. Their defense and vitality transcended imagination.

-■!-

The blood-sucking monster collapsed while vomiting blood. The monster, beaten, pierced, and slashed, was sprawled like a corpse, its menacing spirit from before nowhere to be seen.

The Death Knights clicked their tongues as they stuck their swords and spears into its body.

-Some crazy bastard showed up...-

-It doesn't seem to be summoned by the students.-

"It's not?!"

Yi-Han was startled.

If it wasn't the skull principal's minion, he naturally thought it was a monster created by the seniors.

Another opinion was the minority 'it's the principal's plot' faction like Gainando, but it didn't have much influence.

While his friends were talking, Yi-Han silently moved his quill.

He had to somehow complete Professor Bagrak's assignments to a presentable level before the end of the semester.

"Wardanaz. What do you think?"

"About what?"

"The blood-sucking monster."

"Isn't it too much to call Professor Bagrak that... Ah. You weren't talking about the professor."

"...??"

"It can't be helped, can it? We can't go looking for it now. The best we can do is stick together in groups."

"Will that be enough?"

"There's not much we can do. How about armor?"

"That seems good."

"Armor might not be enough, so also carry the crossbows we made when we were holding out in the library before. I learned about poisons in dark magic class, so I'll make poisons and distribute them, and you guys can apply them to the crossbows. Ah. There should be leftover magic signal firecrackers in Professor Verduus's workshop, we need to bring those too."

'Saying there's not much we can do...'

If this is not much, then what the hell is a lot?

After reassuring his friends, Yi-Han moved his steps.

In fact, even Yi-Han himself was sometimes surprised.

No matter how much Einroguard made people adapt to the unusual, to act so calmly even after seeing a blood-sucking monster like yesterday.

Moreover, even now, unlike other friends who were worried, he was very indifferent.

"Hello. Professor."

Yi-Han opened the door and entered the lecture hall.

Come to think of it, the professor in this lecture hall had a large share in Yi-Han becoming fearless.

'A walking terror.'

What's so scary about a blood-sucking monster that hides in the dark thickets at night and aims for blood?

True fear came boldly in broad daylight.

Professor Bagrak lightly nodded his head and greeted Yi-Han.

"You're here."

"What is... this?"

Yi-Han was puzzled by the appearance of the underground lecture hall, which was different from usual.

Normally, it was a barren lecture hall with only the truly necessary furniture and school supplies, but today there were many things he had never seen before.

A large tin bowl (inside was a lump of flesh wriggling in green), a racetrack that looked like it was made of toys, rings that looked like they would be used in circus tricks...

Even Professor Bagrak himself was holding a strangely shaped toy in one hand. It looked like a toy for playing with a pet.

Professor Bagrak holding a sword was scary, but Professor Bagrak holding a toy was also formidably scary. Yi-Han glanced back and checked the escape route.

"The Basilisk's growth is slow."

"Aha."

Only then did Yi-Han let out a sigh of relief.

He thought it might be some crazy training to increase Yi-Han's combat power before the final exam, but fortunately, it wasn't.

The baby Basilisk made a blatant hissing sound from inside the sleeve.

It was a very, very unpleasant sound.

"I'm sorry. I have no power either."

-?!-

Yi-Han apologized to the baby Basilisk.

In other situations, he could have fought for the Basilisk, but not in front of Professor Bagrak.

Yi-Han and the Basilisk could die together.

'Those who can live must live.'

"I asked Professor Bungaegor to make this meal. Try eating it."

The baby Basilisk naturally shook its head as if it didn't want to.

Then Professor Bagrak grabbed the Basilisk's neck with one hand and cast a fascination spell with his eyes. The Basilisk's mouth opened wide.

-■■■■■!-

I don't know what the baby Basilisk was saying, but the green lump of meat didn't seem to taste good. Yi-Han apologized again in his mind.

Professor Bagrak, who was feeding the Basilisk, asked while looking at Yi-Han.

"I heard you succeeded in transforming the form of lightning elements?"

"■■■■■!"-

Yi-Han spat out the same sound that the Basilisk had just spat out, which sounded like being strangled.
