Legendary Hero is an Academy Honors Student – 74



【74】73.

“What the hell is this!”

“This… the curse of the dead!”

As they entered the center of the forest Runia and Eiran’s faces turned white from the powerful curse they felt.

Even for elves who were born with strong resistance to curses the current curse was so powerful that it took their breath away.

Runia gritted her teeth and looked at Leo.

‘He’s fine isn’t he?’

This level of curse did not have much of an effect on Leo who had personally fought against the Demon Lord Hell Kaiser.

Leo turned his head and looked at the two elf girls whose complexions had worsened and unleashed his magic.

“Vi arte.”

Light full of vitality flowed from Leo’s hands.

Runia and Eiran’s complexions became much more relaxed.

“This will make you feel better.”

“Is this star magic?”

“that’s right.”

“Ooh it’s magic we don’t know about.”

“Don’t you know this magic?”

Leo gave a puzzled look.

“It’s a magic that restores vitality. “It’s not that difficult of a spell.”

“That’s amazing. Is this the magic that Leo developed?”

“no. “I just implemented the magic I saw in the grimoire.”

To be precise it is Luna’s favorite magic but she cannot say it literally.

Runia said after hearing Leo’s words.

“Leo where did you get the grimoire that says you taught yourself star magic?”

A grimoire containing star magic that even Seilun students cannot access.

‘Furthermore Leo also interpreted the progenitor’s magic which had not been interpreted for a long time… Maybe it was a magic book left by the progenitor himself one of the few in the world. Even if it is not the progenitor’s grimoire there is a possibility that it is a grimoire that contains the original star magic used by the progenitor…!’

If so it is a great discovery.

“It was in the study at home.”

Runia stroked her chin.

‘Leo’s mother Lady Raina is a direct descendant of the Gerdinger family. Even if you are disowned from the family it is no wonder that you still have the family’s rare books.’

Runia’s eyes sparkled.

“Can I see that grimoire?”

“Not right now.”

“what? “What happened?”

“I burned it while practicing magic when I was young.”

“What if I burn it and eat it!”

Runia grabbed her head and screamed.

Of course it was a made up story but Runia had no way of knowing that.

Eiran also showed a sad expression.

“Seeing you shout you seem to have energy.”

Leo grinned and glared at the center of the forest.

“Then let’s get rid of this damn curse.”

After saying that Leo walked inside.

After a while.

Leo and his group arrived at the entrance to Fairy Land in the past.

And when he saw the person there the corner of his mouth curled up.

“What are you doing here at this late hour?”

“That’s what I want to ask.”

Lauta crossed his arms and narrowed his eyes.

“As first-year students you wouldn’t have been allowed to leave your dorm right?”

“Isn’t that the same for you too?”

“under? Your tone is arrogant. Are you acting like that just because we go to different schools? “I know Lumern’s level.”

Leo’s eyes narrowed as he saw Lauta laughing bitterly.

Runia spoke urgently.

“Senior Lauta. “The undead are haunting this place now!”

“I know. “We are currently investigating the cause.”

“If it’s the cause it’s because of the curse!”

“curse? “Are you saying there is a curse unfolding here now?”

“yes?”

‘This thick energy of death is spreading… but you can’t feel it?’

Runia looked embarrassed.

Instinctively I felt that what Leo said was right.

It was clear that Lauta was in cahoots with Tartarus.

‘No way… this is ridiculous! A student of Seilun can’t do that!’

But reason was rejecting it.

There was no way for a proud student of Seilun to become a necromancer.

Moreover isn’t Lauta an advanced class?

Runia’s eyes wavered.

“I will ask you again.”

Leo’s voice became cold.

“What were you doing here?”

“We were exterminating the undead and investigating an incident in the Fairy Forest. “Do you think it makes sense for a first-year kid with no blood on his head to scare me a second-year student?”

Lauta said irritably.

“I am a student following in the footsteps of Luna the founder of the great Nebula. “I am the one who tarnishes Luna’s honor…”

“Rauta algraya.”

Runia and Eiran were startled and took a step back without realizing it.

Lauta who saw Leo’s expression directly was momentarily terrified.

“Don’t mention Luna with that mouth.”

“This bastard…!”

“Among the first years of Lumern there were students who accidentally touched items dropped from Tartarus.”

“…!”

Lauta’s face hardened.

“In the case of those students they touched the items without realizing it so the school only gave them a warning and moved on.”

Leo raised his hand.

From the tip of my finger a small bead of white light rose into the sky.

Whi profit! Paaa-!

The orb of light exploded and the surrounding area became bright as if it were broad daylight.

Runia’s face became astonished and Eiran unconsciously covered his mouth and took a step back.

Behind Lauta the corpses of numerous monsters were lying around.

A huge summoning circle was drawn with the blood and internal organs taken from the corpse.

“The only ones that can use the blood and entrails of monsters as a catalyst are black magic or necromancy. “The students at our school said they didn’t know but…”

Life appeared in Leo’s eyes.

“It seems like you are cooperating even though you know.”

“You quick-witted bastard.”

Lauta smiled bitterly.

“Do you really have to dig a grave like that to get rid of your anger?”

“It doesn’t make sense… A student of Seilun becomes a necromancer…!”

“Be careful what you say Runia El Lund. “Do you think profanity towards seniors is acceptable?”

“You use necromancy and you are a student of Seirun?! “Fuck that bullshit!”

Runia shouted fiercely.

“I’m not using necromancy. “I just use Tartarus.”

“what?”

“Do you know what’s sleeping here? The page of Sijo’s hero is sleeping! You understand what I mean right? “Lunia.”

Joy appeared on Lauta’s face.

“It’s no different from becoming Luna-sama’s direct disciple! “I will become one of the greatest heroes in elf history!”

Nowadays there are very few pages left of the great heroes.

Meanwhile if he were to discover a new hero’s page and inherit his power it was not unreasonable for him to become a hero who would literally remain in Elven history.

“What’s so bad about using Tartarus to reclaim our heritage?”

“Have you ever thought about being taken advantage of?”

Leo smiled coldly.

“Hell Kaiser is a corps commander who fears great heroes more than anyone else. “Do you think that such a corps commander would let Luna inherit his power?”

“If that’s the case don’t worry. “That foolish Hell Kaiser gave me the power to control the undead!”

Lauta grins! He smiled and showed me a black ring.

“With this the undead can’t be a threat to me.”

“I can’t communicate.”

If Hell Kaiser was not a hero and had been swayed by a mere student there would not have been so many heroes dying in the past era of disaster.

‘He’s emotional and his cognitive abilities are poor. ‘Symptoms are similar to those of Sen Liu.’

It reminded me of Sen Liu who was running wild during the Summoning Exam.

“Let’s beat up Leo. “I’m going to crush that damn face and take it to the teacher!”

Runia growled.

Eiran also showed strong hostility towards Lauta who tarnished the school’s reputation.

“Don’t fight with a half-hearted mind.”

“what?”

“I think I might kill him if I have to.”

Runia’s eyes widened at Leo’s advice.

“That’s what the fight against Tartarus is like.”

With those words Leo approached Lauta.

‘Kill me? ‘A senior at school?’

While Runia was embarrassed.

“Hehehehe-”

Kargor appeared with black smoke.

“You seem to be in a difficult situation.”

“Kargor. “Kill them!”

Kargor charged at Lauta’s shout.

“Lunia! Hey! Deal with this guy!”

Leo who left Kargor in the hands of the two charged straight at Lauta.

“You idiot! “I’ll show you what a second year looks like.”

Lauta chanted a spell as he saw Leo charging head-on.

Leo who heard the spell also quickly memorized it.

“La Tiarga!”

“La Tiarga!”

Kwakagagak-!

The same magic was cast at the same time and collided and canceled out.

Lauta distorted his face.

“Are you cheeky enough to use star magic?”

“You are using Luna’s magic to act like a stooge of Tartarus.”

“shut up! I am an elf who will inherit the power of my ancestor! “I’m different from someone with no roots like your wife!”

Lauta with bloodshot eyes chanted a spell.

Leo who heard that also memorized the spell.

“Lee Ezernia!”

“Lee Ezernia.”

Flash!

It’s so scary!

A strong electric shock swept through.

“…!”

Lauta’s face hardened as the magic was canceled out again with the same spell.

‘This bastard… no way!’

Lauta chanted urgently.

After hearing Lauta’s chant Leo also quickly memorized the spell.

Grumble-!

This time flames swirled around.

Lauta’s body trembled.

“How dare this bastard!”

The magic didn’t overlap by chance.

Leo heard Lauta’s spell and memorized it exactly.

And at the same time the magic was completed.

There was no greater humiliation for a wizard than this.

Leo said looking at Lauta who was excited.

“Your skills with magic are poor.”

Woe!

Leo’s body disappeared in an instant.

Lauta startled quickly looked for Leo but Leo was already behind him.

“It’s as if he can’t even handle his own strength.”

Wow! Quack!

“Keuok?”

Leo kicked Lauta’s ankle with his aura-filled foot.

Lauta fell to the floor with the sound of bones breaking.

“Well it’s not even my power so there’s no way I can handle it properly.”

Leo’s eyes turned to the black ring.

‘Masingi.’

Sreung-!

Leo drew his sword.

Lauta’s face turned white.

“Save me! I am a student of Seilun! If you kill me the relationship between Rumern and Seilun will be ruined…!”

Kwaduk-!

“Huh?”

Leo’s sword pierced Lauta’s neck without hesitation.

If he had been a proper student in Seilun’s second year upper class Leo would not have been able to avoid difficulties.

However to Leo who had gone through many hardships Lauta was nothing more than a strong-willed fool.

Woe!

“Hehehehe.”

At that time Kargor appeared in front of Leo.

Runia and Eiran who had been fighting fiercely with Kargor for a while stopped after discovering Leo while chasing Kargor.

And when he saw Lauta with his throat pierced he swallowed his breath.

“Did you kill him? Hehehe! Killing someone who dreamed of becoming a hero with you! How cruel! Cruel! And then you still dream of becoming a hero! Hahahaha”

With his eyes flashing Kargor taunted Leo.

Runia and Eiran’s eyes suddenly shook.

I expected something like this to happen.

But when it actually happened right in front of them the young girls had no choice but to go blank.

Kargor who was bursting out laughing suddenly made eye contact with Leo.

When Kargor saw those eyes he felt goosebumps rising.

‘He may have been corrupted but he killed a hero candidate. Normally I should have reacted the same way as those elf girls.’

But no emotion was felt in Leo’s eyes.

‘What are those eyes?’

It was just quiet.

‘Those are not the eyes of someone who dreams of becoming a hero. However these are not the eyes of a hero. That…’

It was the eyes of a hunter.

“You’re next.”

It contains no life anger or speculation.

The knight who had transcended even death felt fear at Leo’s extremely dry voice.

It felt like I was standing in front of my master the Demon King Hell Kaiser.

‘This guy must be killed here!’

My instinct was screaming that.

Kargor thought so and plunged his great sword into the ground.

Gooooo-!

The dark red energy that flowed from the great sword flowed to the floor.

Lauta’s black ring reacted with him.

Lauta’s body swelled.

Leo saw that and rushed away.

Quang! Quad deuk!

Lauta’s body exploded bone fragments and flesh flying everywhere like buckshot.

Leo deployed his Auror Armor to protect his body.

‘Self-destruct!’

Leo distorted his face.

Lauta’s hand wearing the only remaining ring in its shape clenched into a fist.

Quagga gagagak-!

Along with that the bone fragments and flesh that had been flying in all directions began to clump together.

“Whoop!”

Runia and Eiran covered their mouths.

The pieces of bone and flesh were crushed like clay and soon returned to the form of Lauta.

Lauta opened his eyes and looked down at his hands in disbelief.

“You survived?”

“Hehe. By experiencing death you made a contract with the great Necromancer King.”

Kargor’s eyes flashed.

“Rauta Algraya! Don’t you want to become a great hero who can transcend even death?”

“A great hero who transcends even death!”

Luta’s eyes sparkled with desire.

“Accept it! “The power of the dead!”

Gooooo-!

Dark magic flowed from Lauta’s body.

Ugh-!

At the same time the summoning circle that Lauta had drawn gave off an ominous light.

Coo coo coo coo coo coo!

The whole earth shook.

Runia and Eiran lost their balance and fell to the floor.

Leo’s face hardened and he saw a huge skeleton coming up from the ground.

‘As Lauta’s magic grew stronger the summoning circle was activated… That Death Knight. I was planning on killing Lauta in the first place.’

Wow!

[What is that!]

Kiran let out a cry of astonishment.

“Skeleton King.”

Leo answered with a stern face.

“One of the strongest undead.”
