Episode 381
“No, of course it’s important, isn’t it?”
Lee Han said with a straight face.
When the junior, who had been polite no matter what Ogoldos said up to now, suddenly turned a straight face, Ogoldos somehow felt as if he had made a huge mistake.
“Is that so?”
By Ogoldos’ standards, I thought it would be better if I entered Einrogard late.
If you go in early, the skeleton principal will only harass you more.
“ah. Maybe because of the punishment room? Of course, since you are a first year student, I understand that you are more afraid of the punishment room than necessary, but if you go to Einroguard for a long time, you will get used to the punishment room. The punishment room isn’t as bad as you think. “Once you get used to it, it’s sometimes more comfortable than a dormitory.”
The first-year students were more afraid than necessary in the punishment room, but it was all a trick of the skeleton principal.
If you are too afraid of the punishment room, you will not be able to survive in Einroguard.
“I’ve been to the punishment room a few times. “What I was worried about was missing the lecture.”
“……”
“I can’t help it. senior.”
“Uh, huh?”
“Please help me study.”
When Lee Han took out the book, Ogoldos was astonished.
‘Crazy guy…’
Ogoldos was currently trapped in the depths of the undead dimension with the king of ghouls, and Ogoldos shivered at the sight of his junior worrying about his grades in the second semester.
I saw a lot of people at school who seemed crazy, but they weren’t crazy.
The truly crazy person was here in front of Ogoldos.
* * *
“How many days do you think it’s been?”
“well. In other dimensions, the sense of time is often difficult to trust. one week?”
“You can follow along for about a week, right?”
“You are enough.”
“What is enough! “Don’t say it so easily!”
Lee Han suddenly got angry.
And then he immediately apologized.
“sorry. senior. “I shouldn’t have been angry at my senior.”
“Oh, no. “I’m fine.”
Ogoldos shook his head inwardly as he saw that his junior, who was otherwise polite no matter what insults he heard, became very sharp when it came to lectures.
What kind of first year did Einrogard accept?
“So, senior. Returning to bone element magic…”
At first glance, bone element magic seemed to have less development potential than other element magic, but it was also a magic that could be explored as deeply as you wanted.
Basically, in addition to summoning and firing bones or binding the opponent, there were many parts that were related to alchemy or enchantment, such as strengthening, changing, and fusing the bones themselves.
“Isn’t one of the characteristics of bone element magic that the more you prepare in advance, the stronger it becomes?”
“yes.”
If the bones themselves are strengthened in advance with curses, poisons, or dark elements, the power of the magic itself is greatly amplified.
“Bone element magic can ultimately be seen as magic that deals with corpses. After all, the core of a corpse is bones. A wizard who masters bone elemental magic can create a monster that can take on several Imperial Knights with just a skinny corpse.”
“yes. What I’m curious about is that I want to store the cold curse, poison, and dark elements in the bones in advance, but the bones can’t hold them. “Is there a way?”
“……”
Ogoldos wanted to cry at the sight of his junior asking a question so casually that even a fourth-year student would say, ‘I’ll get the professor for a moment.’
The most painful thing was that my junior was asking the question innocently, without any hint of malice.
“I… I’m not sure about that.”
“Is that so? That’s too bad.”
Lee Han turned the pages with regret.
Ogoldos glanced at the bookshelf.
Clearly, the black magic book said, ‘Bones can be strengthened with additional magic,’ but not, ‘Let’s strengthen them by applying a cold curse, poison, and dark elements.’
‘If you ask this bastard to summon undead, wouldn’t he end up summoning a bone dragon?’
“senior.”
“uh? uh?”
Now, when Lee Han calls, I get a little scared.
“If you combine this bone element magic, you can strengthen the summoned undead.”
“yes.”
The most basic method was to put additional bone armor on the summoned undead or give them weapons, and experienced wizards would strengthen them in various ways, such as blood, poison, flesh, and ghosts.
“Perhaps I would like to see and learn how my senior is doing it…”
“…for a moment. “I think we need to search this place some more.”
Ogoldos quickly got up from his seat.
The last time I saw Lee Han gathering and merging skeleton warriors into one, it seemed likely that he would be very disappointed when he saw Ogoldos’ undead summons.
“Do you want to search again? “Aren’t you overdoing it?”
“How can this be unreasonable? do not worry.”
When Ogoldos stood up, Lee Han closed the book with regret.
‘I guess I should look at other books first while you search.’
Lee Han took out <On Basic Lightning Element Magic and Its Applications> and studied how to increase the power of lightning element magic.
Contrary to Perkuntra’s claim that ‘the lightning element is the most powerful element,’ he has often felt a lack of power recently.
…Do you plan on being trapped here for the rest of your life?
“The more I condense the lightning… I don’t understand. I think it’s pretty condensed. Should we condense it further here?”
…I’m sure you feel it too. The fear rising in your heart.

“Next chapter… no. Shapeshifting?”
Lee Han was surprised.
Contrary to the illusion made by many wizards, changing the form of lightning element is not impossible. Of course, I will not deny that it is more difficult than other elements. The most common mistake rookie wizards make is when they try to change the form of the lightning element clumsily and end up running out of magic power…
Professor Boladi was a very kind person according to his books. Instead of forcing unreasonably difficult magic, he recommended building a solid foundation.
Lee Han, who was reading a book, suddenly fell into a doubt.
‘Why on earth can someone do this to me?’
In any case, the theory behind the transformation of the lightning element was to compress the lightning with magical power to give it mass and then transform its form like other elements.
As the magic consumption was high and the level of difficulty was high, it was understandable that wizards did not change their form using the lightning element.
Magic was an all-purpose miracle, but wizards have always pursued efficiency.
Don’t deny it. Your fear! You must be feeling it too!
“Like this… oops.”
Squeeze!
“It’s harder than I thought.”
Lightning lost control and flew towards the King of Ghouls. Lee Han licked his lips and focused again.
Since it was written in the book, there was a high possibility that Professor Boladi would come out in the second semester saying, ‘Make it or die.’
Do you think pretending not to hear will make a difference?
“hmm?”
Lee Han put down his cane and looked away.
“ah. sorry. It was so loud that I unconsciously ignored it. okay. “Why did you call me?”
He was the King of Ghouls who had suffocated countless opponents in the undead dimension and brought them to their knees, but he had never met anyone who humiliated him as much as this young wizard.
The Ghoul King was almost suffocating with rage.
fear! You! You’ll be trapped here for the rest of your life! Compromise now…
“Are you still saying that?”
Lee Han looked at the King of Ghouls as if he were dumbfounded.
“You seem to be misunderstanding something, but my situation is different from yours.”
What’s different?
“If I stay here, there are people who will come and drag me away.”
It was not ‘to save’ but ‘to drag away’, but the King of Ghouls did not notice because of his anger.
That is your illusion. Does my palace look that funny? Located in the depths of the dimension, this palace cannot be easily…
‘You’re so pretentious.’
The Ghoul King was speaking sincerely, but it did not make sense to Lee Han.
Honestly, the skeleton principal seemed stronger.
If Professor Mortum cannot find it, he will tell the Skeleton Headmaster, and when the Skeleton Headmaster hears, he will come to find it.
And in the punishment room…
“Thinking about it makes me angry.”
Lee Han threw the snack wrapper he was holding at the King of Ghouls.
When I think about it, I wonder if this division was created because this bastard sat on the throne carelessly.
If it weren’t for this bastard, I could have peacefully explored the palace and then gone out and sold it for a high price…
You’re finally showing your true colors. I know you’re nervous too!
“Think whatever you want.”
compromise. It’s about compromising. Stop denying it!
“The compromise is whether to give you to the principal and reduce the number of days of punishment… Ah. for a moment.”
Lee Han suddenly became curious.
The King of Ghouls had nothing he could give to Lee Han right now.
What are you trying to do?
“Hmm. Tell me. “What kind of compromise do you want?”
Of course, we have to solve this magic circle.
The king’s voice became softer and more cunning, perhaps because he thought Lee Han was finally being persuaded.
Although he did not use it often after gaining power, the King of Ghouls was a being who could show such cunning tricks if necessary.
“What do I believe in?”
Of course so. But think about it carefully. If you think about it that way, they will just run parallel to each other forever. If you don’t want to be stuck here for an infinite amount of time, you have to have some faith. Of course, it might not be easy to just believe it. I swear on my honor as king. Even if I leave here, I will never touch you!
‘Even Gainando won’t be fooled by a modification like that.’
Lee Han looked at the King of Ghouls as if he were pitiful.
What is the meaning of risking one’s honor as a king? Looking at what I said earlier, it didn’t seem like there was anything in particular.
It didn’t work at all because Lee Han was also a person who could put everything on the line, starting from his honor as the top student in his grade, to his family honor, if necessary.
but…
“Well, like that…”
For now, Lee Han pretended to be thinking seriously.
There was something I wanted to ask.
“Really?”
okay!
“But it’s hard to believe…”
Believe it!
“Then, if you show a little more sincerity, I might be able to trust you.”
What is that?
“Are there any more treasures left here?”
……
The Ghoul King instinctively felt uncomfortable, but deliberately ignored it out of impatience.
“Are you really hiding it? “After telling you that we should trust each other?”
…good night. Let me tell you one thing.
“okay. Good idea. “I can trust you.”
* * *
‘hmm. Still, I need to find something.’
Ogoldos carefully read the pattern on the wall. If he had known this would happen, he regretted that he would have listened to more lectures on ancient writing at Einrogard.
‘I never thought it was true when the professor said that all the studying would be useful.’
“senior!”
“Ji, I’m looking for you now! “Please wait a little longer!”
Ogoldos shouted hurriedly.
While I was studying black magic, I got scared because I didn’t know what else he was going to ask me.
“Let’s search behind the third pillar from the left.”
“what?”
Ogoldos was embarrassed.
“why?”
“I heard it from the King of Ghouls.”
“Well… wait. Did you have a conversation? “Without me?!”
Ogoldos was surprised.
It wasn’t a good idea to have a long conversation with a powerful being from another dimension.
In the case of an inexperienced and young wizard, he could have been deceived by the other party and made a big mistake.
Even though the King of Ghouls was trapped inside the magic circle, he was still a dangerous beast. He could have been more dangerous because he was trapped inside.
I will try even more desperately to persuade you…
“…But I guess it’s okay with you.”
‘Wasn’t this person a little late in answering just now?’
Lee Han looked at Ogoldos with suspicious eyes.
I think I had some useless thoughts…
