Life of a Magic Academy Mage – 508



Episode 508

‘Hmm.’

Today the junior must have used quite a lot of magical energy and mental power while making the curse doll.

…When I thought about it it wasn’t magical power but mental power consumption was also an important issue.

Since magic is a task that inherently requires a high level of concentration it is impossible not to experience mental fatigue each time you cast it.

However Delet did not stop his junior.

He took out a piece of bone from the reagent bag and looked at him thinking hard about it. It was because he didn’t want to stop me again.

‘Are you okay…?’

When I saw Lee Han quickly taking out the bone pieces and making various preparations I thought that he was worried for no reason.

Shouldn’t geniuses be treated as befitting geniuses?

He tried to tell the genius to take his time but it was only a meaningless interruption.

‘okay. ‘Let’s leave it alone.’

“Senior. “I’m trying to compress the dark element into a piece of bone…”

“It’s difficult to do that on the spot. “I will lend you…”

“How about this?”

Di Let raised his head and looked at the piece of bone lying in Lee Han’s palm.

In that short period of contemplation this junior had accurately compressed the dark element into the reagent.

As for the cursed doll Direth was seriously concerned when he saw that the basic work that would normally take years to be done in the workshop or the magic tower was solved instantly.

‘Isn’t this junior also somewhat responsible for the professors’ constant antics?’

Even though most of the professors at Einrogard are crazy it’s okay to just stop but isn’t there some responsibility for the juniors who keep trying to progress one step at a time?

If the progress is going too well wouldn’t there be some level of responsibility?

‘Ah. What crazy idea did I have…’

Delet shook his head repeatedly trying to shake off his stray thoughts.

In this crazy magic school instead of blaming the professor you try to blame the junior.

No matter how excellent Lee Han was at magic the professors’ actions were not justified.

If a person had a heart they should have said “I see that it’s still good so I should order more” but rather “There’s still a lot going on so I need to stop them.”

Rattling rattling-

“…”

Although he had just made up his mind Direth felt his resolve wavering as he watched his junior easily summon more than ten dark skeleton warriors.

* * *

There was no significant difference in principle between summoning a skeleton warrior and summoning a skeleton warrior reinforced with the dark element.

During the summoning process as long as only the dark element in the reagent could be controlled the undead summoned from the undead world took over the rest on their own.

Of course the process was a little more difficult for Lee Han.

This was because unlike other necromancers he was learning ancient necromancy which was created directly from the bottom rather than summoned from the undead world.

But even taking that into account it wasn’t something that couldn’t be done.

He said that Lee Han already had a lot of experience summoning skeleton warriors and fighting…

‘A little unstable?’

As the dark element contained in his bones began to stir and leak out Lee Han immediately poured out his magic power to stabilize it.

As the most dangerous situation when dealing with unstable elements such as dark elements is runaway Lee Han’s response method was an advantage that no one could match.

‘There is no need to summon Gonadaltes.’

Lee Han was satisfied as he watched the skeleton warriors eerily spewing black energy.

The dark element is a unique element that causes damage to the opponent just by contact.

A normal skeleton warrior would not be able to defeat a seasoned enemy head-on but this skeleton warrior was different. If you don’t know how to respond your vitality will be taken away in an instant.

‘The summoning itself was successful so now if we combine it into one…’

Lee Han dismantled and reassembled the summoned skeleton warriors and prepared to unite them.

If you did such a violent thing to an undead summoned from the undead world you could have been stabbed in the back but ancient necromancy was much freer in this regard.

This process was essential for Lee Han who could not yet control large numbers of skeleton warriors.

Seueuugh-

“?”

Lee Han who was trying to swing his staff to dismantle them was surprised to see the skeleton warriors moving.

‘what?’

It wasn’t an illusion.

He waved his staff once again and moved his magic and the skeleton warriors followed suit.

“Senior! “The skeleton warriors are moving!!”

“…uh? huh? Hmm… Of course skeleton warriors move right?”

Delet didn’t understand why Lee Han was doing this and was a little embarrassed.

It’s as if a friend who was smart enough to be scouted by the Imperial Treasurer said ‘Wow! 1+1=2! I felt like I saw someone shouting ‘I finally figured it out!’

Why on earth is it so basic?

“I was originally unable to move the skeleton warriors.”

“you??”

‘Oops. Did I look too complacent?’

When Direth was surprised with his high-pitched voice Lee Han thought it was a mistake.

It wasn’t a good idea to look so incompetent and lazy in front of my seniors.

“Because I was studying with other magic my schedule was pushed back but I was planning on solving it soon. “If only I had a little more time…”

“…Oh no. “I don’t think I should say that much…”

I was just surprised because Lee Han couldn’t move. I wouldn’t have been surprised if it was another junior.

And when I thought about it I realized why Lee Han couldn’t move that thing.

It was a skeleton warrior created using ancient necromantic techniques rather than a typical undead summoning method and I tried to control it at the same time for over 10 times…

It was not an easy task for him no matter how gifted he was.

Rather it was more surprising that it was maintained.

‘I don’t think I noticed anything strange because the amount of magical power was so high.’

Normally other warlocks would have experienced mana depletion or exhaustion a few times and then been forced to learn humility thinking ‘Oh I must be doing something wrong’ but this junior didn’t have that opportunity so he just forced himself to keep going and got used to it.

“Perhaps the reason the control becomes stronger and more detailed is because of the presence of the dark element.”

Delet explained gently pushing the skeleton warrior with the tip of his staff.

It was natural that the control over the summoned beast would become stronger and more detailed as it was controlled not only with magical power but also with the additional use of dark elements.

Of course magic power was consumed and the magic difficulty level increased but it didn’t mean much to that junior.

Because magic consumption or magic difficulty had no effect.

“And you must have gained experience. “You must have been summoning skeletons consistently all this time.”

“yes. “Last time we were shipwrecked we summoned skeleton warriors and fought the Ghoul King.”

“…Ugh…”

Delet tried not to panic but he couldn’t manage his expression when he heard that his junior had brought skeleton warriors to face the king of ghouls.

still…

Is that okay?

“Senior. Now that I can move I want to practice a little more.”

“hmm. okay. “It’s a bit difficult here so let’s move somewhere else.”

Die Lett led the way to a good place for his junior to command the skeleton warriors.

‘If you want to test the skeleton warriors… since the dark element is also included that should be taken into consideration as well. for a moment. Since there are a lot of numbers you should keep that in mind as well. The dungeon near the charnel house will be too difficult. Toward the warehouse? ‘Would that be too easy?’

Delet didn’t notice while moving to another place.

He realized that he was now falling into the same trap as the professors he had criticized.

When talking to a junior in front of him he will unconsciously increase the level of difficulty as if he is under hypnosis.

* * *

Whoosh!

‘what?’

Lee Han looked puzzled as he blocked the arrows flying above his head with his water shield.

The difficulty of the dungeon suddenly increased too much.

Of course the first was a dungeon to test the basic dark element curse doll and now it was a dungeon to test the next level the dark element skeleton warrior.

It was natural that the difficulty level would increase but…

The difference in difficulty between the vampire weasel dungeon earlier and this woodman dungeon completely exceeded expectations.

The moment the dungeon door was opened the wooden soldiers waiting inside began to fire in waves like gears spinning in sync.

The wooden people in front approached the wizard with shields covering their bodies the wooden people in the middle attacked with long spears and the wooden people in the back kept firing crossbows.

A normal wizard would have been embarrassed but Lee Han had used various strengthening spells even before entering the dungeon.

When <Gonadaltes’ Agile Footsteps> and <Spatial Awareness> were added to <Bagrek’s Instant Precognition> a reflex speed comparable to that of a high-level swordsman was obtained.

Overall enhanced physical abilities.

In addition there is the <Spatial Awareness> magic that detects enemy attacks.

Thanks to this <Bagleg’s Instant Precognition> which became more accurate warned of the future. Lee Han quickly ran to his side and was out of attack range.

“Skeleton warriors forward. “Unfold your shield!”

Strengthening the defense further by spreading a huge water shield in the air Lee Han advanced the skeleton warriors reinforced with the dark element.

‘It moves properly!’

It was honestly touching to see the skeleton warriors advancing slowly but steadily in line.

It felt like the worries I had accumulated while the magic had failed were being rewarded.

thud!

The wooden soldiers seemed to have been made with quite strong magic and when they clashed with the skeleton warriors they overwhelmed them in strength.

Even though they were both holding shields the skeleton warriors were seen being pushed back little by little.

however…

“Hold on!”

There was a part of Lee Han that he believed in.

As expected the Wooden soldiers who came into contact with the dark element began to slowly slow down and lose their strength.

In a long-term war this side will inevitably have the advantage.

Lee Han who had endured and defeated his opponent looked at Delet with a sigh of relief.

“Senior?”

Delet was next to me saying ‘Wait a minute why did I bring you here? “Isn’t it too difficult?” he thought then answered in surprise.

“huh?”

“thank you. “But is this a dungeon belonging to the dark magic school?”

“You’re quick to notice. “This is a dungeon managed by the Buyeo School of Magic.”

“ah. somehow.”

It was a magic of considerable difficulty to artificially maintain that number of wooden soldiers.

I was convinced that it was a dungeon managed by the Buyeo School of Magic.

“Senior are you familiar with the Buyeo School of Magic?”

“no. “They don’t socialize much.”

“Then what? ah.”

“okay?”

“Did we come in secretly?”

Lee Han gave a meaningful look as if he understood.

Direth was dumbfounded and paused for a moment before answering.

“…I came in after talking to Professor Verdus. “Because you also have enchantment.”

“ah.”

Lee Han became slightly embarrassed.

“I think I checked. Should I go back?”

“Can I check a little more?”

“More here?”

Di Let waved his wings and wondered.

He had already confirmed command by moving the skeleton warriors forward and backward but he did not understand what more he wanted to confirm.

Magic power too…

‘no. Magic power will be fine.’

Are you trying to check bone-type weapons and how to use them?

“Can you do more?”

“yes.”

“okay. then.”

When Direth gave permission Lee Han led the undead inside and went inside.

And then a loud noise erupted.

Boom!!!!!

“…?!?!!!”

While Direth looked on in astonishment Lee Han without blinking an eye advanced the remaining skeleton warriors toward the formation of the wooden soldiers that had been shattered by the bone explosion.

‘If an explosion of this much power occurs I’ll be able to withstand it somehow with a shield on.’

It took a skeleton warrior but it was worth it. The speed of the wooden people slowed down even more due to the explosion mixed with dark elements.

“Senior. I’m trying to combine poison elements as well. Could you please give me some advice… senior? Senior??”
