Life of a Magic Academy Mage – 510



Episode 510

Professor Millais originally preferred calculations and theories rather than intuition or emotion but this time he decided to be sure without any further confirmation.

It would be rare to be this confident.

‘But how?’

In the first place escaping from a realm other than reality was not something you could do right away just because you wanted to.

Basically beings from this world were not tolerant of intruders.

Even the most negotiable spirits showed their violence the moment the intruder’s attitude was even slightly offensive.

As such very careful preparation was required to move out of the realm in another plane.

Create a map of the surrounding area negotiate with nearby beings and contact the leader of the area you wish to cross…

These were not things that could be done quickly no matter how talented one was.

Unless a powerful being from the spirit world invited you this would be impossible!

“?”

Lee Han who was walking along the exposed sea path below felt a sense of discomfort.

The atmosphere around me became increasingly unusual.

Beyond the exposed deep sea powerful spirits passed by violently spouting magical power.

If it weren’t for the seaway that was firmly fixed like a wall it seemed like a fight would have broken out all of a sudden.

‘That’s strange?’

At first Lee Han thought this pattern was some kind of letter of introduction.

He thought it was an emblem introduced by Upinum to other spirits in his name saying ‘This person is trustworthy so don’t be suspicious even if he has too much magical power.’

But the atmosphere around the place was strange.

If such a letter of introduction were correct shouldn’t at least a few spirits come out and show a favorable response?

But instead of such a being the surrounding atmosphere became increasingly dangerous and only murderous beings were wandering around…

Lee Han closed his eyes and remembered Professor Boladi’s teachings.

If you want to be suspicious…

‘Strike first!’

“Arise warriors made of bone!”

Immediately the skeleton warriors arose.

Skeleton warriors emitting the dark element we learned about yesterday surrounded and protected Lee Han.

Then the spirits reminiscent of deep-sea fish swimming beyond the sea wall became even more violent.

Boom boom!

The way they roared as they hit the wall of water was so threatening that they would have rushed at them at any moment if there had been no force to block them.

Sigh!

“Lightning!”

Eventually the guy who jumped over the wall came out with the sound of water splashing.

When a spirit with an appearance reminiscent of a lantern angler rushed onto the sea creating a spray of water Lee Han did not hesitate and struck down lightning.

Even though it must have been an attribute weakness the deep sea fish spirit did not stop and rushed forward recklessly. Instead he fired water at Lee Han.

Wow!

‘It’s not normal!’

The opponent was such a powerful spirit that I could feel the pressure through my skin.

If it doesn’t run away when it sees Lee Han in the first place and burns its fighting spirit then it is not an ordinary spirit.

Lee Han quickly dodged the attack with his enhanced senses and foreknowledge of the future. A column of water passed over his head and tore through the floor with a roar.

Lee Han who clearly sensed that his opponent was several levels higher than him clicked his tongue.

‘I will never believe in spirits again.’

What kind of trouble did I go through after believing in Upinum and taking a step forward?

However putting aside his feeling of betrayal towards the spirit he had to stop the enemy in front of him first. Lee Han advanced the skeleton warriors.

The deep-sea fish spirit immediately swallowed the skeleton warrior as if it had no chance.

-?!

Instead of a regular skeleton warrior a skeleton warrior radiating the energy of the dark element struck from within.

Without missing the moment when the deep-sea fish spirit stopped Lee Han completed the order right away.

“Dash down Perkuntra’s thunderbolt!”

A thunderbolt several times thicker than before hit the deep-sea fish spirit.

The deep sea fish spirit which had stopped due to the dark element was struck by lightning and made a sharp sound.

‘One more time!’

Lee Han who found another opportunity immediately brought in a water shield and exploded a skeleton warrior.

Kwaaaaang!

The basic lightning strike was such a huge blow that even the deep-sea fish spirit which was lightly holding on had about half of its body blown away.

Thanks to the continuous accumulation of magic damage the effect was better than expected.

However what happened after that went differently than Lee Han expected.

The deep sea fish spirit restored the body in an instant.

“…”

I’ve heard a lot about the dangers of fighting spirits in the spirit world but I never thought it would be this fraudulent.

The beings of this world exercised enormous power in their own realm. The deep sea fish spirit restored its body to its original state as if scattered water droplets were coming back together.

Grumpy-

After tasting the bitterness the deep sea fish spirit attacked more cautiously than before.

Instead of swallowing it while belittling it as a skeleton warrior it fired water bombs to kill the undead summons first.

There was no need for complicated techniques or principles like Eumidifus. Every time a water mass with a huge mass hit directly the skeleton warriors were shattered and returned to bone fragments.

Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!

The deep sea fish spirit which cleared the obstruction rushed back.

“Arise warriors made of bone!”

-…?!

However the deep sea fish spirit was still looking down on Lee Han.

If it had been a method of summoning from the undead world it would not have been possible to summon once the damage was recovered after being reverse-summoned but these skeleton warriors are summoned creatures that Lee Han assembled from start to finish.

They were beings that could be called back as long as they had magical power.

As the skeleton warriors clung to both sides of the deep sea fish spirit no matter how violent the spirit was it was impossible not to pay attention to it.

It seemed like if anything happened the wizard would explode again.

However Lee Han chose a different method instead of bone explosion.

Sigh!

The magic that was learned in the Ghoul King’s palace came out from the tips of the skeleton warriors’ spears.

Although it was not yet perfect the powerful corrosive poison hit the spirit.

As the deep sea fish spirit inhaled the dark element and then the poison it made a groaning noise and retreated.

I thought he was a bright young wizard but he wasn’t usually annoying.

Boom!!!!!

“!?”

Lee Han and the deep sea fish spirit were surprised.

A huge magic spear was struck between the two like a thunderbolt.

-What are you doing?

A fishman spirit hurriedly ran from behind.

When the fish-man spirit wore a unique style of heavy armor and gave off a bewildered look the deep-sea fish spirit lowered its head in intimidation.

-Why did you attack the wizard who was invited by Upinum?

-■■■ ■■ ■■ ■■■ ■■ ■…

-What kind of pun are you talking about? Allowing entry into this area is itself an invitation!

The fishman spirit was very angry with the deep sea fish spirit.

The symbol on that wizard was one that allowed Upinum the tribune of the ocean and wind and rain to enter his domain.

If a wizard came in with that symbol he should naturally be considered a guest of Upinum but he would ignore that and attack first.

If an accident had occurred how shameful Upinum would have been.

“I have a question.”

-Tell me. wizard.

“But if you invited me shouldn’t you have made preparations in the first place to prevent accidents?”

-…

The fishman spirit had nothing to say even though it had ten mouths.

* * *

-This is the Hell Sea Corridor. It’s a place where violent spirits reside.

“Where is it over there?”

-It’s the Blade’s Edge Canyon. This is where more violent spirits reside.

“Then what about there?”

-It’s an abyss. It is a place where extremely violent spirits reside.

“…Aren’t there any violent spirits?”

The fishman spirit seemed a little embarrassed by Lee Han’s question so he put a huge trident behind his back and spoke.

-This area is where violent and powerful spirits reside in the first place…

“really. “Can’t I see Upinum?”

Lee Han asked if he could meet Upinum.

Of course it wasn’t a pure intention.

When he met him he planned to hold him accountable and say ‘Didn’t I almost die because of you?’

If Einrogard’s professors had seen it they would have been impressed and thought ‘This guy really listened to the <Basic Imperial Language and Logic> lecture well.’

-Uhm. Upinum’s residence is…

The fishman spirit looked Lee Han up and down pondered and then shook his head.

-If a wizard like you goes in his body will be torn apart in an instant.

“Can’t it be done with magical power?”

-No matter how much magical power you have… no. There really are a lot. But you can’t do anything that can’t be done.

The fishman spirit was startled but came to his senses and firmly stopped him.

Just as the water pressure becomes stronger as you go deeper into the sea a similar law worked in the spirit world.

As one enters an area with powerful beings the pressure that an outside intruder must endure increases.

“All right. Rather I want to make a contract with the water spirit.”

-The spirits here are all violent and target the owner’s back so I can’t recommend them…

“…Then why on earth did you invite me?”

The fishman spirit broke into a sweat at Lee Han’s question.

That was correct in every detail.

Upinum herself may have been intoxicated and given the emblem saying ‘Wizard I will give you the key to my realm’ but when I thought about it there was nothing good about a young wizard coming in here.

-Upinum’s actions may not be understandable at first glance but there is a profound wisdom in them…

‘It seems like a lie.’

Lee Han looked at the fishman spirit’s words with eyes full of suspicion.

There was something very suspicious about it that I couldn’t say specifically.

“Then can you persuade calm and gentle spirits from other realms than this realm to make a contract with me?”

-Uhm. That’s a bit… Spirits from other realms are beings that are difficult to interfere with. Because they are beings that belong to their domain. I cannot interfere carelessly.

“hmm.”

While pondering Lee Han looked at the fishman spirit and asked.

“Then if you sign a contract with me…”

-…Which area of ​​spirit do you want?

* * *

Nilia rode the eagle spirit and glided between the mountains.

“Aaaah I’m sorry! I won’t catch and eat eagles from now on!”

Nilia thought the eagle spirit was angry and she apologized hastily but she said the eagle spirit was not angry.

She galloped excitedly a few times then she laid Nilia down gently and rubbed her head.

“…!”

Nilia was very happy when the eagle spirit who controlled the wind chose her.

This eagle spirit was so stubborn and picky that it would never choose a master who did not suit it.

And yet you chose me.

She said ‘Good job on your hard work as a shadow patrol…!’

Nilia who came out of the magic circle with the joy of making a contract with her new spirit flinched when she saw Lee Han’s exhausted face.

“There’s no need to make a contract with that spirit! yes?!”

“huh? “I signed a contract.”

“!”

Nilia was surprised by her friend’s answer.

Lee Han made a contract with a spirit?

“what!? how!? “You caught it with force!?”

“Why do you think that?”

“…Oh no.”

Nilia lowered her ears to either side and looked embarrassed.

Now that she thought about it she had been very rude to her friend.

“I signed a contract through persuasion.”

“Do you want to hear it? “Tell me.”

Nilia thought that this time it was time for her to make Lee Han feel better.

Didn’t she always have Ihan and Yoner comforting her?

This time it was time for her to help Nilia comfort Lee Han.

After Nilia finished preparing to listen to her she looked at Lee Han and Lee Han opened his mouth with a look of confusion about where to start.

“So there is a realm of deep-sea spirits governed by a great spirit called Upinum.”

“…?”

“I was summoned to the realm of the spirits…”

“for a moment. wait for a sec.”
