Surviving As A Mage In A Magic Academy [EN]: Chapter 675

As Lee Han used his magic again, a thunderbolt, even stronger than before, struck the black shadow.

Bzzzt!

The curse went back to Lee Han, but it did not hurt him at all.

After being hit three more times, Docheol realized he couldn’t trap Lee Han with curses. Docheol removed the curse from his skin and let out a terrible howl.

-■■■■■■!

“Good job! I’ll take care of the rest!”

Professor Bendojol saw his chance as Docheol moved. Quickly, he jumped off the cliff, turning into a huge White Wyrm. Then, he attacked Docheol fiercely.

Wyrms are a type of dragon known for being wild and strong. They have very strong attacks that hurt Docheol.

-■!

-Die, you stone-headed fool!

Docheol screamed in pain and shook his body hard. The black shadow moved around, trying to stop the White Wyrm.

But Professor Bendojol didn’t care if Docheol hurt him. He kept biting and tearing at the beast.

The white frost poison from the White Wyrm’s teeth started to work, and Docheol moved slower.

Lee Han felt a chill go down his back as he watched. This was more like a wild fighter than a careful wizard.

‘I should be careful not to make the Professor angry in the future…’

Docheol seemed to think the same thing. He probably knew that fighting with the crazy wizard would only hurt him, so he changed his plan.

-Stop him! He’s attacking!

Lee Han was surprised to see a scary shadow coming through the mist on the mountain.

“No, you said we shouldn’t leave any openings! Why are you going out there, Professor!”

He had said, ‘Docheol is clever and will only attack the unicorn, so we must not leave any openings.’ But now he was running out to fight!

-I did it because I can kill him! Just stop him!

Lee Han was speechless.

‘Is that really a reason…?’

Just then, the hurt unicorn looked at Lee Han. It looked desperate as it looked between Lee Han and its foal.

“…Don’t worry! I’ll stop him, no matter what!”

Lee Han got ready to use his last resort if he had to and started to say a spell.

“Park Mu-yeo, spread out!”

As soon as the defense spell was ready, Docheol came through the mist. He was only about the size of a dog, but he felt very dangerous. A dark and heavy feeling came from him, like a storm cloud ready to burst.

Lee Han trusted Begrek’s Foresight and attacked first.

Whoosh!

The staff turned into a Lightning Spear, and the lightning in the cloak made bolts of lightning all around.

Docheol opened his mouth and spit out a thick darkness. The darkness hit the lightning and started to climb up the staff.

It was a dark magic that attacked the life force of living things.

Docheol could control this dark magic easily, which made him a difficult monster to fight.

But Lee Han was also a difficult wizard to fight.

Lee Han easily brushed off the darkness and started to say a spell.

“Darkness, gather here.”

A lot of magic power came out, and Lee Han took control of the darkness that Docheol had used.

In elemental magic, control of an element can change depending on the situation. But it was amazing to take control of an element that the other person was already using.

Docheol looked surprised and glared at Lee Han with his evil eyes.

Lee Han didn’t wait.

“Darkness, swallow him!”

Docheol gritted his teeth and turned back into a shadow to dodge the attack.

‘…He’s not easy.’

Lee Han thought as he glared at Docheol. Docheol was probably thinking the same thing about Lee Han.

Docheol could move quickly and change his form, which made it hard for Lee Han to hit him.

Also, Docheol’s special powers didn’t work on Lee Han. Attacks like curses or dark magic, which were simple and used force, couldn’t get past Lee Han’s strong magic power.

Crack!

Far away, they heard the sound of Docheol’s spine breaking.

Professor Bendojol, who was a huge White Wyrm, shouted loudly. Blood was all over his body.

-Hold on a little longer! I’ll tear this guy apart and then come help!

“Take care of yourself first, Professor!”

-I wasn’t talking to you, I was talking to the unicorn!

……

Lee Han was sorry he had worried about him and moved again.

“Freeze as your master commands!”

Lee Han’s ice clone jumped forward from inside the Park Mu. Docheol quickly attacked the ice clone, trying to hit its weak spots.

“Become as fast as the wind.”

Lee Han used Gonadaltez’s speed magic.

He also used Limited Time Acceleration magic.

‘I’ll definitely hurt him!’

Wham!

Lee Han used magic to make himself stronger and faster. With the time acceleration, he moved as fast as the Empire’s Sword Masters.

Docheol realized it was a clone and tried to move back, but he was too slow. The Dawn Star sword cut through his body, and Docheol screamed.

-■■!

The Dawn Star sword was very bad for magic clones because it took away their magic power.

Docheol probably thought he couldn’t keep the clone going, so he started to break his body into pieces. His eyes looked evil.

Buzzzzz-

Black bugs flew everywhere, like a swarm of bees. They were going for the unicorn’s foal behind them. The unicorn’s foal was scared and couldn’t run away.

Lee Han knew how evil monsters could be, and he clicked his tongue.

The professors of Einroguard and even the demons seemed crazy, but they followed rules and were behaved.

But the wild monsters with evil hearts would try to bite even when they were being torn apart.

‘I’ll block them with my body!’

Lee Han moved, trusting in his magic power. There was so little time left, so blocking them with his body was the safest thing to do.

Tap tap tap tap tap tap!

Docheol, as a swarm of black bugs, crashed into Lee Han, trying to dig inside him.

But nothing happened. The attack was weak and embarrassing.

Docheol’s main body, which was being torn apart far away, glared at Lee Han with anger and disbelief.

What kind of person is that??

-Die!

With the sound of the last bone breaking, Professor Bendojol finally killed Docheol.

He stopped being a White Wyrm and landed. He was covered in blood and shouted.

“Is the unicorn safe!?”

“Yes. It’s fine.”

Lee Han checked the unicorn’s foal. Luckily, Lee Han had blocked all the bugs, so it didn’t have any scratches.

“Are you alright, Professor?”

“Just a scratch!” Professor Bendozol declared, though blood dripped from his forehead, spreading on the ground like dark red paint. Lee Han pretended not to see the growing puddle.

“Good job blocking! Really good!” Professor Bendozol said, surprised and pleased. “Those Dochul attacks are strong, but you stopped it easily, like catching a small ball! You’re very talented!” Professor Bendozol usually complained about everything, so Lee Han was surprised to hear praise.

As he approached, the baby unicorn let out a frightened cry, its small body trembling.

The professor looked really bad with all the blood.

“Ah, oh dear. I frightened you! I’m sorry, I’m sorry!”

Professor Bendozol covered his bleeding forehead and hurriedly tried to soothe the baby unicorn. It didn’t seem to be calming it down much.

“Wouldn’t it be better to treat your wounds first?”

“Of course I know that! But wounds from dark magic take time to heal.”

“Is that so?”

Lee Han had never been hurt by curses, so he just nodded, wondering if it was really that bad.

Professor Bendozol was about to curse in frustration but held back. The guy in front of him had just made a significant contribution, but he didn’t want to frighten the baby unicorn.

The baby unicorn slowly hid behind Lee Han and peeked out. Professor Bendozol said in a pleased voice.

“Look how smart it is moving! Isn’t it cute?”

“I understand, so please concentrate on healing yourself.”

“Look at me more! Pay attention to me!” (said in a slightly silly, pleading voice).

The baby unicorn flinched in surprise at the professor’s shout. Professor Bendozol hit his own mouth with his fist.

“Oh, my big mouth! Why did I shout?”

“…Professor. Just go away.”

Lee Han was getting annoyed and pushed Professor Bendozol away.

He had been trying to learn from the professor because of his knowledge, but seeing how he was acting now, it seemed better to just push him away and just try to understand the unicorn directly.

“Lee Han!”

Suddenly, voices called out from below. Lee Han’s friends rushed up, covered in dust and looking tired. The fight at the campsite must have been quite intense.

“The monsters were swarming down below!”

“I know. The Dochul attacked here too.”

Gainando said in an indignant voice.

“Where is Professor Lightning Foot?!”

“That’s what I’m saying!”

“Aack! A talking corpse!”

“……”

Professor Bendozol tried to shout at Gainando but held back and wrapped a bandage around his head.

Swish-

The adult unicorn looked around at the students who had come up and then approached Nilia.

Nilia was puzzled when the unicorn, which had rejected her earlier, approached her again.

“Why… uh, uh oh. What?! Why?!”

Nilia gasped, surprised and a little scared as the unicorn tugged at her sleeve.

Professor Bendozol, who was watching, slapped his knee.

“I understand!”

“What do you mean?”

“The unicorn wasn’t chasing away the other spirits out of jealousy! Unicorns are not jealous of spirits like that! It was a dangerous situation, so it kept someone nearby to protect it!”

Earlier, it had kept Lee Han, who seemed trustworthy, nearby because it was a dangerous situation, and now that the Dochul had been defeated and it was safe, it was bringing Nilia along.

Professor Bendozol sneered at Lee Han as if he felt like he was right all along.

“It didn’t like you! Well, of course not! It was just using you!”

“Uh, then isn’t it a problem that it brought Lee Han when you’re here, Professor? That means the unicorn didn’t trust you…”

“Cough.”

Professor Bendozol coughed up the blood that had pooled in his mouth in embarrassment.

“It, it probably called for him because it’s good to have even one more person.”

Meanwhile, the baby unicorn was lying on Lee Han’s lap, fast asleep.

The students were about to tell him to look over there but stopped themselves.

If Professor Bendozol coughed up blood one more time, he might actually collapse.

Professor Lightning Foot and the hunters returned an hour later.

“Where were you wandering off to, coming back so late!”

“…Was there a Dochul attack?”

“There was!”

“I thought so.”

Professor Lightning Foot listened to the situation and sighed deeply.

“You knew? If you knew, you should have rushed over here! What if the unicorn had gotten hurt! How would you have taken responsibility!”

“Professor Bendozol. You seem to be injured…”

“Even if I’m injured, I can still point things out!”

“That’s not what I meant. I meant that you seem to be injured, so did you want to get beaten up by me in that state?”

“……”

Professor Bendozol’s anger subsided a bit. Professor Lightning Foot slowly opened his mouth.

“We killed one Dochul and were on our way back. But there was another one.”

“!”

Professor Bendozol was shocked.

To think there were so many troublesome creatures.

“That’s ridiculous!”

“I thought so too. Dochuls aren’t usually creatures that live in groups. But there are always exceptions. We, the professors and hunters, will hunt them ourselves. It might be a bit dangerous for the students if there are multiple.”

“No.”

“?”

Professor Lightning Foot was puzzled when Professor Bendozol refused firmly.

“Is there any other way right now?”

“If there are multiple Dochuls, we need to move the unicorn first. The remaining people can slow them down. If we’re attacked during the move, the baby will be too dangerous.”

Professor Lightning Foot stared at him in disbelief.

“Hey. Two of the Dochuls are already dead. Can’t you imagine how angry they must be? We’ll take it with us. Be satisfied with that.”

“No! We have to move the unicorn first, no matter what.”

“Are you trying to make me lose my temper? I’m already tired.”

Professor Lightning Foot, who was also tired from catching a Dochul, began to emit a dangerous feeling filled the air around him, like a storm about to break.

Professor Bendozol wasn’t in good condition either, but he wasn’t the type to back down in this situation.

As the two professors were about to clash seriously, the students watched with great interest.

Yoner, always the most sensible of the group, whispered to Lee Han, his face showing real concern.

“Shouldn’t we stop them?”

“Yeah. That’s why I called him.”

“…Who?”

“The headmaster.”

Lee Han shook the copper ring.

It was a rescue signal ring that could summon the skeletal headmaster.
