Episode 378
Lee Han gritted his teeth at the heinous enemy’s suggestion.
“They are such despicable bastards. “They say you should hit the trap above first.”
-There are no traps above.
“yes?”
-There are no traps above. This isn’t a prison, so why would there be a trap?
“…?”
Lee Han became confused.
“Then why are you asking me to come out? “Can you tell me a trick so I can’t use magic?”
-Not those guys.
“Then what is it?”
-…I don’t know.
The undead wizard honestly admitted.
It was my first time seeing the berserkers in that prison be so obedient.
Lee Han slightly put his head out.
The undead berserkers who were watching motioned for them to come out with a blunt motion.
‘It’s too shameless for a trap.’
Uneasy about just leaving, Lee Han waved his hand.
It was a signal to step back.
Then, surprisingly, the undead berserkers retreated.
“…?!”
-You’re backing off?!
Both the undead wizard and Lee Han were surprised.
Are you saying that this is the same group of berserkers that rushed at us like crazy people earlier?
“I will go and check.”
Ogoldos said, supporting himself with his cane.
Ever since I fell here, I couldn’t help but feel so uncomfortable holding on to my junior’s ankles.
At least I can do something like this…
“yes? That’s it. “Let’s set up the fog and approach together.”
“……”
Ogoldos felt his resolve fading away.
* * *
I approached cautiously, but the undead berserkers didn’t really rush at me.
Suddenly, I watched Lee Han and his group climb up to the ceiling.
– Get entangled and become a bridge… I never thought it would really come.
“Don’t you need magic to climb up?”
-The magic has already been broken. Normally, the ceiling couldn’t be broken through.
The undead wizard said as he climbed up a slope made of bones.
The dungeon where prisoners were kept was protected by powerful magic. Originally, it would be impossible to break through no matter what you did.
Although the explosion earlier was huge, if the dungeon was normal, the ceiling would have been fine.
The undead wizard now had no choice but to acknowledge what Lee Han said.
Something is wrong with the owner of the palace!
-It’s really amazing. What’s wrong with the king?
“……”
Lee Han broke into a cold sweat. Ogoldos saw that and felt worried inwardly.
‘Is it okay? Did I use too much magic power? Doesn’t it seem like I’m saying something pointless if I ask?’
“So… are you also loyal to the king? “It seems to me that you have a lot of personality problems.”
Although he tried to break up with Lee Han, the undead wizard answered calmly, as if he had not noticed Lee Han’s intentions.
-Of course, kings are violent.
“I see… Is that so?”
‘If someone is violent enough to lock you up, shouldn’t you cut off their head?’
-Of course, whether you blame the king or not is a separate issue. He is angry because he ignored my advice, but he is loyal because he is my king. Originally, a strong being is qualified to rule.
“…Wait a minute, then what happens if you become weak?”
-Then you have to die. A weakened king is not fit to be a king.
There was a nod from behind.
Lee Han and his party turned their heads. A group of undead berserkers were coming from behind, stopping and nodding.
Ogoldos made a sound like he was out of breath.
-When did those guys become like that…what…what…?
“It doesn’t look like they’re trying to attack now. Is that correct?”
-It seems so. Don’t provoke them.
The berserkers followed quietly, ignoring the undead wizard’s words.
When Lee Han’s group stopped, they also stopped, and when Lee Han’s group started walking, they also started walking.
If fear is repeated, you become accustomed to it.
Lee Han began to wonder what actions worked against those undead berserkers.
“Could you please pick up some bone fragments?”
-I told you not to provoke me…
The undead wizard almost screamed, but the berserkers surprisingly picked it up obediently.
-!

“oh…”
-This… I guess we need to experiment.
The undead wizard’s eyes also changed. The wizard spoke to Ogoldos.
-You too, please ask.
“…please pick up some bone fragments.”
At Ogoldos’ request, the berserkers stood silently.
The look in his eyes was as if he was asking, “Why are you giving orders?” Ogoldos glared at the undead wizard with an embarrassed face.
-This…
“What is it?”
Lee Han expected the wisdom of the undead wizard.
-It looks like they accepted you as part of the same group.
“……”
For a moment, Lee Han thought he had heard wrong.
They passed a test, won a fight and acknowledged it, or at least had too much magic power to touch it.
There are so many other good things, so why are they being accepted as the same group?
“Does that make sense?”
-Those guys themselves are a group of guys who like to fight, so it doesn’t make much sense…
“What kind of fight do I like?”
– Didn’t they misunderstand that the undead explosion earlier was done by you?
Lee Han protested angrily.
“This wizard here did it!”
However, the undead berserkers gave a blank stare as if wondering what they were talking about.
The undead wizard said as if telling him to give up.
-If you were the one who would listen to what I said, there would be no reason to suffer until now. They are not people with whom you can communicate.
“No, what…”
Lee Han, who was suddenly in the same group, looked at the berserkers with a shocked expression.
-It’s not urgent right now, so let’s get moving. Actually, being treated as part of the same group isn’t a bad thing, right? Otherwise, I would have had to fight to the death below.
“If it’s not bad, the wizard can do the same. “Let’s go and talk.”
The undead wizard was slightly intimidated by Lee Han’s venomous words and retreated.
-Those guys can’t communicate…
“Huh… I understand. So, how much time do we have left now?”
The undead wizard who escaped the dungeon and came inside the palace had one goal.
Checking the throne deep in the palace and finding out what happened to the king.
Lee Han did not object much. Anyway, Lee Han had to find other people and escape.
If an undead wizard who is skilled in the geography of this palace reaches the Deep Throne, he will be able to use the power of the palace to find other people scattered throughout the place.
‘There is no king.’
And Lee Han was confident that there would be no king.
…Because Lee Han hit!
-We’re almost there. It’s really amazing. I never thought it would be like this. Has the king really left?
The wizard muttered and tapped the wall with his wand.
Then the wall opened and a path appeared. What was a road just now has disappeared underground.
“!”
Lee Han’s complexion changed.
At some point, the quality of magic felt in the air changed.
The undead wizard noticed that Lee Han’s complexion had changed and said.
-You’re sharp. You might feel pressured because of the powerful magic, right? Especially since he is still a young wizard.
‘I don’t feel it.’
Because there was so much magical power, I never felt pressured with something like this, but Lee Han just ignored it.
“yes.”
-It’s because of the magical power that emanates from the king’s space. The force and nucleus that maintains this palace. When the king was sitting in it, he couldn’t even breathe.
kkiiiiik-
The huge stone door opened, revealing a spacious reception room. When it was confirmed that no one was inside, the undead wizard clinked his bones together and made a tsk sound.
-Really amazing…
go away.
“!?”
The undead wizard was surprised by the voice coming from the throne, but Lee Han was the most surprised.
The king of ghouls who was defeated last time.
The voice was the same as that of the king.
‘Has everything recovered already!?’
I knew that he had been kicked out of the continent and returned to the dimension he originally came from, but I never thought he would have already recovered from that blow.
Lee Han bowed his head. Ogoldos did not understand and was puzzled.
-Are you a king?
Yes. How dare you come into my reception room. Even if I give you the most terrible punishment, I will forgive you just this once. go away.
“Let’s go.”
Lee Han whispered.
Fortunately, the other person didn’t seem to notice Lee Han’s identity.
If you turn away when you say you will forgive me…
However, the undead wizard answered in a sarcastic voice.
-I don’t think you are the king.
what?
-All of the king’s men disappeared, the flame that lit up the palace went out, and the wall that protected the prison disappeared. What kind of king is one who has no subordinates, no palace, and no dignity?
“Do we really have to provoke?”
Lee Han tried to persuade the undead wizard, but there was no point.
What beings of the undead dimension pursue is the logic of power.
The reason it was okay for the Ghoul King to be a tyrant was because he had the power to match.
However, in the current weakened situation, the opposite logic was applied.
How dare you tackle a weakened subject?
-It looks like you were seriously injured. I don’t know how you ended up like that…
If you want to die, I will kill you.
-Try it.
Not only the undead wizard but also the berserkers behind him suddenly walked forward.
The look in his eyes was devoid of any hint of loyalty. He is only filled with the desire to win and test how strong the person above him is.
Then the berserkers tapped Lee Han on the shoulder and pointed to the throne.
“…No, wait. “No way now…”
Are you saying we should fight as a group?
Lee Han wondered how to convey the words, ‘I am human and you are undead.’
Meanwhile, the undead wizard launched an attack.
-Come on, fake king! Show your skills once again!
‘shit. ‘Why are all wizards different from what they appear to be?’
The undead wizard, who had been cool, calm, and rational until just now, immediately turned aggressive when he saw that the King of Ghouls was weakened.
It was a logic of power that only the undead could understand.
The magic power in the spacious reception room began to gather towards the throne. The Ghoul King, who recovered his strength by forcibly absorbing the magic power within him, growled.
Even if I was seriously injured and recovering, do you think I would lose to a wizard like you?
As the undead wizard had guessed, the Ghoul King was drawing on all of the palace’s resources to recover from the serious damage suffered on the continent.
From the flames outside to the subordinates.
The damage was severe as it had been sealed for a long time and was repelled when it was released.
But I never thought I would lose.
I was confident enough to deal with those prisoners with just the strength I recovered from this palace.
– Poison…
As the berserkers rushed in, the Ghoul King looked on in annoyance.
The prisoners in that dungeon didn’t even die, but crawled out and made things a nuisance.
I found it strange that he was attacking other prisoners, so I left him alone…
die.
Kwasik!
The Ghoul King focused his shimmering figure and appeared in front of one of the berserkers.
And then he delivered a bloody blow. The thick torso of the berserker was pierced right through.
“…!”
It was a spine-tingling attack, but the undead wizards and berserkers were not scared at all, as if they had already known it would happen.
“… spread as a fog! ”
A terrible poisonous cloud spread around the throne. The King of Ghouls distorted his form and quickly tried to escape the poison cloud.
Then the berserkers chased after them and attacked. The Ghoul King nimbly transformed his body to avoid the attack.
“ Burn up! ”
At that moment, flames flew after the king of ghouls. Although the size was not great, the heat felt from that small flame was amazing. The king of ghouls felt threatened for a moment and pulled his body back.
you…?
The Ghoul King felt a strangely familiar discomfort rise up. The opposing wizard was covering his face with a mask made of bone.
