Surviving As A Mage In A Magic Academy [EN]: Chapter 1200

The hamster jumped back, fur on end. A booming voice had just filled the room.

It would be sufficient to ask after that evil god’s voice disappeared.

“That was rough. As I just said, that wasn’t the main body, just the voice.”

If he had descended here riding on his worshippers, we might have been able to inflict some damage.

Of course, even if he had fallen, with the bulk of an evil god, I should be worrying about my own life before even thinking about damaging him…

The evil god’s voice made the hamster think about danger. “Wait,” he thought. “Can’t I escape if I die?”

The hamster wondered why he was even worrying about that.

Currently, if only the cursed body were to collapse, the soul could escape towards another body prepared as a spare!

‘Am I really going crazy?!’

‘Are you talking about the voice?’

At Lee Han’s words, the hamster quickly snapped back to his senses.

“Yes, yes. Attacking the paper bird won’t harm the wizard.”

Right now, the corpses of those worshippers were a kind of paper bird, just like puppets for the evil god’s voice.

No matter how much you attack the corpse, you can’t strike the evil god beyond. To do that, you’d have to find the evil god’s base.

“Don’t feel humiliated. The fact that he’s acting so arrogant is actually lucky for us.”

The hamster warned Lee Han, worried that he might not be able to restrain himself and cause an accident.

If he provoked him and the evil god descended here, it would be truly dangerous. Wasn’t this young wizard’s power all scattered?

‘Right. Since he’d see through any clumsy lies anyway, I’m only helping this time.’

Thinking that, the hamster quickly pulled himself together.

‘Luck, you say? What on earth…’

“Gods are strong because they are perfect and unchanging. They are like rules, not like people with feelings. But as you can see from the way he mocked us just now, he is no longer a law. He has an ego and a reality. If so, he can be destroyed forever.”

Even very powerful beings can be defeated if you attack their main base.

‘Hmm. I don’t know why I used the Yaksha King as an example either.’

Lee Han changed the example. Thinking of a powerful dimensional being, the Yaksha King strangely came to mind first.

Even Sanguiloth can be destroyed if his base is raided!

‘Certainly… but isn’t a divine being acting too lightly? Wouldn’t it be better to hide his identity instead of mocking me?’

“Strong people are often a little bit strange. Look at your Archmage. A monster who could have left for another dimension long ago is obsessed with his territory.”

‘That’s a pretty mild form of madness.’

Without realizing it, Lee Han defended Headmaster Skull.

It was acceptable for an student to insult Headmaster Skull, but he couldn’t accept a wizard who has been a criminal for a long time doing it.

“His power is strong, but his thinking is simple and easy to understand. He awakened his ego and gained powerful strength, but he’s not in that comfortable and perfect state like before. He’s anxious, restless, and filled with all sorts of desires he doesn’t even know himself. Otherwise, there’s no reason for him to mock us like that.”

Despite having lost his magic, the hamster read the psychology rooted in the evil god’s origin. He was indeed an experienced criminal wizard.

Currently, the evil god was clearly full of dissatisfaction with the fact that the cult that worshipped him had collapsed on the continent, even though he possessed great power.

Otherwise, there would be no reason for such provocation…

“…Kuh! Indeed, Sanguiloth! Too powerful, there’s nothing I can do! Now I don’t even need faith anymore!”

“What the hell???”

The hamster was bewildered.

He was so dumbfounded that his somewhat antiquated tone vanished.

‘You said he was unstable because he was newly born.’

“I didn’t say newly born…”

Even a newly born guy wouldn’t fall for such flattery, would he?

That’s right! He finally realized he had to submit!

“……”

The hamster was speechless.

He fell for that kind of flattery??

“Gaining intelligence only to have it drop. What a moron, bringing shame to all evil gods!”

‘Please tell me my flattery was excellent.’

“Perhaps the great Sanguiloth does not need new followers?”

If mortals serve, I have no intention of refusing. Haha… If I’m in a good mood, I might bestow some authority.

“Not just any service, but I would like to visit you directly and serve you. Which dimension are you in?”

“……”

The hamster wondered if his own intelligence had dropped as well, due to the other’s lowered intellect.

So blatantly?

Good!

Blood congealed on the corpses of the worshippers, and a blood-red key was created, a dimensional object exuding a threatening aura.

Follow this key. If you pass the test, I will grant you the glory of an audience. Haha…

“Haha!”

Lee Han resolved in his heart.

As soon as preparations were complete, he would mobilize all the magical connections to different places he had to strike this evil god!

Lee Han was even prepared to ask the Yaksha King for help.

Well thought out. That traitor, that beast, and that wizard above are all afraid of me. I am a god, a being who surpasses gods! Hahaha…

Whether Sanguiloth had truly said all he wanted to say, the red patterns lost their power and disappeared.

Enster asked, dumbfounded.

“What on earth is going on? More importantly, Sanguiloth subjugation?”

“I told you I originally liked subjugating evil god worshippers.”

“That’s right. But… it seemed like a different level of story than a normal conflict… Wait. There’s a wizard above?!”

Enster belatedly realized what Sanguiloth had said and was horrified.

Have the enemies already gathered?!

“Ah! There are still assassins over there!”

“Where… Ack!”

Lee Han fired Water Orb at full power. Since the opponent was wearing several defensive spells anyway, there was no need to adjust the power.

Then he sent a signal above.

“Professor? You can come down now.”

The role assigned to the two professors and the Death Knights waiting above in this plan was simple: to charge down the moment Lee Han sent the signal.

As long as they blocked his escape route, they didn’t care whether he had set up golems in the underground workshop or Headmaster Skull.

“They’re late.”

Professor Voladi checked the time and said.

The signal hadn’t come even though the time they had originally expected had passed.

This was because Enster had even taken out the brazier to check, but it was not easy to know that from the outside.

Professor Kirmin and the knights immediately teased.

“He’s ignoring the plan again and trying to act on his own!”

-Overprotective! Why didn’t you keep your promises like that back in your school days!

“I didn’t say I would break in.”

Professor Voladi did not waver despite the teasing that would have made an ordinary wizard furious and draw their wand.

Above all, there was supposed to be a separate signal if a dangerous situation arose, but no signal had come yet.

As they vented their usual grudges, Professor Kirmin and the knights whispered among themselves.

“What do you think?”

-The problem is him escaping. If the heir uses all the means he has, it’s impossible to stop him, no matter how many golems he has piled up in the workshop.

“That’s right. It must be.”

A little while later, a faint magical fluctuation was felt.

It was a phenomenon caused by Lee Han injecting excessive magic power into the deep underground where the workshop’s magic core was located.

“Just now, the magic power…”

“So, are you saying we should go down now!”

-If that’s the case, why didn’t you just use the evil god worshippers like the heir said!

Professor Voladi didn’t answer this time.

It was because he ignored the teasing because it didn’t give him any useful information.

A little while later again, some workers came to the workshop. Amrek, who was slightly intimidated by the wizards’ sharp teasing, quickly explained.

“These are workers who work in the workshops around here. They have some experience working in Enster’s workshop as well.”

“That’s strange.”

It was the middle of the night. There was little reason for workers to suddenly appear.

Professor Kirmin and the knights answered indifferently.

“Have you never seen workers moving before dawn?”

-They’re probably trying to move their luggage in advance.

No feeling of magic or danger was felt from the workers.

If they overreacted to such workers and touched them, it could arouse Enster’s suspicion.

However, Professor Voladi was lost in thought, feeling suspicious.

Apart from logic, something felt wrong inside the professor.

Rumble-

And a huge explosion came from inside. It sounded like many golems had blown up.

“!!!”

Professor Kirmin and the knights turned pale.

It wasn’t because of this explosion. Wodanaz’s skills would be enough to deal with the explosion of golems.

The problem was the workers they had missed.

The fact that this chaos had occurred as soon as they went down meant that the identities of those workers were different from what they had expected!

“What!? There wasn’t any magic!!”

-What kind of guys are they!

They were confused and immediately moved.

No matter how they thought about it, it was strange. They had clearly not felt any power from them.

Professor Voladi, who was running ahead, glanced at them once.

Then he turned his gaze back and entered the workshop first.

“……”

-……

Professor Kirmin and the Death Knights were completely speechless.

We should have just gone down right away…!

“Ah. You’ve arrived.”

“!”

Fortunately, the situation below was fine. Lee Han was amazed to see the group who had come down immediately after he sent the signal.

“You came faster than I expected. The workshop passage is quite complicated, and there are still some defensive spells left above…”

-Ha, haha. That level of difficulty is no obstacle at all.

The Death Knights tried to change the subject, hiding the fact that they had been running even before receiving the signal.

-There’s a magical criminal here! You! You wicked and vile fellow! In the name of honor, I will not forgive you!

-Let’s drag him away and imprison him forever! We must put him in the underground where no one can find him!

“??”

Lee Han was puzzled because the knights seemed a little different than usual.

I don’t think they were usually like this?

“More importantly, Professor. There’s a problem.”

“Not a big problem, right? You’re not hurt anywhere, are you?”

Professor Kirmin checked his student’s condition while watching his friend’s reaction. It might have been his imagination, but the gaze coming from behind felt strangely stinging.

“Ah. I’m not hurt, but.”

“That’s a relief! Really, that’s a relief!”

“…???”

Lee Han was even more confused.

Why are they being like this?

“Are you worried about Enster? He was a strong wizard, but I tricked him well from the start, so it wasn’t dangerous.”

“It’s a long story. Anyway, it’s not a big problem if you’re not hurt.”

“Actually, I had a direct conversation with Sanguilot…”

Professor Kirmin flew sideways and crashed into the wall of the hallway. It was because his friend had pushed him.

Professor Voladi, who had run over, asked with a shocked expression.

“How did you talk to him?”

“……”
