Surviving as a Mage in a Magic Academy Chapter 699
🕑 Added 2024-07-28 12:52:03 +0000 UTCChapter 699
While the 2nd year students were losing interest in smuggling due to Yi-Han and Jijel's persuasion, the commotion at the inspection point was intensifying.
As giants and mad blade bears rampaged, other 3rd year students also began to draw their staffs.
-Don't draw your staffs!-
"Ah. I was just thinking I polished my staff well last night... Holy light, burn the undead!"
-Where do you think you're using such a cheap trick!-
"Fellow students, gather! Let's overthrow the skull principal's minions and reclaim Einroguard's glory!"
"It's a revolution! Revolution!"
-Another rebellion?-
The scale of the commotion flared up like wildfire.
The Death Knights called for support, shouting as if they were sick and tired of it.
-Quickly subdue these mages!-
"I'll make you pay for throwing us in the punishment room last autumn! Negative energy blockade!"
"Liberation from dark elements!"
"Intermediate undead weakening, undead tracking vision, undead confusion..."
'No way. How many times have these seniors fought with Death Knights?'
Yi-Han marveled as he watched the battle at the inspection point.
The seniors seemed to have fought the skull principal's minions more than once or twice, as they immediately unleashed prepared magic.
One of a mage's strengths is the flexibility to strike at the weaknesses of stronger enemies depending on preparation.
The seniors were clearly demonstrating that flexibility. Several Death Knights were hit and reverse-summoned.
Bang! Pop pop pop bang!
Various magic exploded in the air, and flames, explosions, flashes, energy waves, and shockwaves swept the surroundings.
A White Tiger Tower senior transformed into a giant Archaeosaurus and, with the support of enhancement magic from friends, crushed the Death Knights.
A Black Tortoise Tower senior who climbed on top threw potion bottles in succession from the air, then cast activation magic to create synergistic effects. An energy collision storm hit the surroundings.
Meanwhile, several Blue Dragon Tower seniors completed the grand magic they had been preparing. A spatial rift opened, and a crimson lizard with a flickering fiery tongue looked down with torn pupils.
A fierce rain of fire fell. Each raindrop destroyed and burned everything it touched.
It was an intense grand magic that combined spirit arts, summoning magic, elemental magic applications, and more.
'Amazing!'
Yi-Han marveled.
"Hey, you bastards! Who are you shooting at?!"
"You arrow fodder, shut up and just fight."
"Do you sons of bitches want to die?!"
"Try it if you dare. You stinking beasts."
"..."
Yi-Han was shocked.
To think they would fight each other in such an urgent situation!
Other friends seemed to agree, muttering,
"Isn't that too harsh?"
"Wow. Even when I cursed Wardanaz behind his back after getting hit, I didn't say things like that."
"Hey. Wardanaz is right next to you."
For the 2nd year students who had spent a year somewhat united in important situations despite their squabbles, the seniors' fierce quarrel was very disconcerting.
Even Jijel seemed flustered, watching the quarrel with shocked eyes.
"Moradi. Aren't the seniors going too far?"
"Do they have to go that far?"
Yi-Han kindly answered the White Tiger Tower students' questions instead.
"Moradi wouldn't be surprised by things like that."
"...Ha, ha. What do you mean, you bastard?"
"Hmm, it was a compliment."
The Immortal Phoenix Tower seniors who were equally healing the injured shouted.
"If you're going to fight, fight later! It's hard to treat now!"
"Fight with magic that's easy to heal! The magic you're using on the Death Knights now makes the injuries messy and hard to treat...!"
'Shouldn't they stop it for other reasons?'
While the students were arguing, reinforcements for the Death Knights arrived.
-Warehouse keeper. We'll leave it to you.-
The warehouse keeper nodded.
The students who started a revolution today were not lucky.
This inspection was the most thoroughly prepared one in the past ten years.
One of them was the summon the skull principal had left behind.
At first, they wondered why he left such a powerful summon when they weren't facing a mighty lightning spirit, but now it was clear it could handle the current situation.
"Come forth, Anansi!"
"!"
As the skull principal's giant summon revealed itself with a rift in space, the students fighting at the inspection point were startled.
"Even a summon?!"
"Isn't this too much?! Why did they prepare so thoroughly?!"
"We can't back down now anyway! Let's take down the summon too!"
The student who shouted bravely suddenly collapsed. Tough spider webs were tightly wrapped around their entire body, preventing movement.
"Ah, Anansi!"
"Damn it...! It's Anansi!"
With the students' screams, a giant spider revealed itself.
A spider the size of a giant glared at the students with eight glittering eyes.
-As students, you're interested in pranks rather than studies?-
"Shut up, Anansi! Does this look like a prank to you!"
"You running dog of the skull principal, do you know our desperation!"
Magic exploded on the spider's giant body. However, Anansi overcame the impact just by lightly shaking its body. It was truly tremendous defense.
Anansi's body, which had shaken off the attack, suddenly rippled and swelled terrifyingly.
Then it exhaled. The spider's dark breath stiffened and poisoned the students.
"Ugh!"
"Argh!"
"Dodge!"
Anansi, who had easily swept away the students gathered at the inspection point, clicked its legs and rushed at the spatial rift as if to bite it.
The crimson lizard with the flickering tongue that the students had summoned clashed with Anansi.
The rain of fire burned Anansi, and the spider's venom poisoned the lizard. It was truly a battle of giant powers.
However, Anansi, who received the power of the domain as the skull principal's minion, was bound to have an advantage over beings from other realms. The crimson lizard fled beyond the realm with a humiliating cry.
As a result, several Blue Dragon Tower students who had been maintaining the grand magic collapsed, spitting blood. It was the rebound of magic destruction.
"Yi-Han, let's retreat!"
"We should. Everyone fall back!"
The 2nd year students who hadn't participated in the inspection point battle quickly retreated.
Other seniors who hadn't participated also withdrew. Anansi instantly bound the remaining students near the inspection point with spider webs and solidified them with its breath.
-Good work, Anansi.-
-Thanks to you, it ended quickly.-
Anansi didn't answer and made an even louder clicking sound than before.
At that sound, the Death Knights suddenly felt uneasy.
Anansi, once the terror of the underground kingdom, unlike other powerful and ferocious monsters, had driven nearby dark elves and dwarf tribes to despair with its playful and mischievous nature.
That personality had been corrected a lot after submitting to the skull principal, but it hadn't completely disappeared.
Especially when seeing students' pranks, its competitive spirit ignited, and when this happened, it wasn't easy to stop.
-Surely not...-
-We should send them all to the punishment room!-
Anansi's eight eyes gleamed maliciously. From that sight, Yi-Han felt a sensation he had experienced countless times before.
...The sensation when things go wrong!
"Everyone! Retreat further!! That crazy summon is coming this way!!!"
The remaining students from 2nd to 4th years quickly began to move.
Yi-Han cast magic indiscriminately and summoned his summons. Dark skeleton warriors formed a solid formation and aimed their arrows.
The baby basilisk in his sleeve seemed to have awakened, making aggressive hissing sounds at Anansi.
It seemed to be asking to be allowed to fight.
Yi-Han said firmly.
"...It seems too early an opponent for you to fight!"
Given the difference in their weight classes, it seemed dangerous even though they were both venomous creatures.
Anansi's body swelled.
And once again, a dark breath was exhaled.
-That damn spider!-
-Kill it! Make it come to its senses!-
The Death Knights drew their swords blazing with blue negative energy while spewing curses.
Unlike with students, there was no reason to show any mercy to a summon like Anansi. Instantly, huge wounds appeared on Anansi's back and body, and its body shriveled due to the negative energy.
Regardless, Anansi excitedly swelled its body more and spewed dark breath. It was properly excited at the chance to play pranks after a long time.
"Ugh... Crazy..."
Ogoldos from the dark magic school staggered and fell to his knees.
As a student majoring in dark magic, there was nothing more shameful than being affected by poison, but Anansi's breath was truly terrible.
A magical breath that stiffens the body the moment it's inhaled.
Blocking all means...
"Senior!"
Yi-Han, who had cast enhancement magic, quickly ran over, put Ogoldos on his shoulder, and ran away.
Ogoldos, in a paralyzed state, turned only his eyeballs to look at Yi-Han.
"N... Y... D... G..."
His tongue was stiff, so he couldn't even pronounce properly. Yi-Han quickly threw Ogoldos in front of the Immortal Phoenix Tower seniors.
"Seniors! Please help!"
"Al-alright! ...Wait, how did you junior..."
Regardless, Yi-Han went back in and pulled out friends or seniors who had been unluckily caught.
Seeing Yi-Han running while carrying Anpagon from the enchantment magic school, other seniors shouted in shock.
"There's someone saving Anpagon?!"
"He must have just moved up to 2nd year! Junior! Trust us! Trust us and leave that guy behind! You'll regret it later if you don't!"
"..."
Hearing the shock and jeers, Yi-Han put Anpagon down in front of the Immortal Phoenix Tower seniors.
'I should hide that I'm taking enchantment magic classes.'
As Yi-Han ran back into the breath area, he saw the Death Knights surrounding and beating Anansi.
Although the terrible dark breath obscured vision, the light orb Yi-Han had summoned was no pushover. It pierced through the darkness and captured the scene.
'Fortunately. It'll be subdued soon...'
-Top disciple! Come here and help us! This damn spider has gone mad!-
-Top disciple! Quickly!-
"?"
Yi-Han looked around for a moment.
He wondered if there was someone else.
"..."
And then he belatedly realized.
'It's me!'
Come to think of it, they were calling him!
"I don't have the ability to inflict damage on such a monster!"
-Oh, really? Can't you use <Gonadaltes' Sword> or <Gonadaltes' Hatred>?-
"..."
The Death Knights said awkwardly.
-Then it seems you can just go and rest...-
Anansi's breath burst out once more, and the darkness deepened further.
Then Yi-Han's pattern suddenly began to glow.
-Who is it?-
The Death Knights were puzzled by the glowing pattern.
Who had he contracted with to react in this situation?
"...Who was this again?"
-...-
"It wasn't Lord Ferkuntra, nor Lord Upinum, nor the phoenix... not a spirit either..."
As the Death Knights watched in bewilderment, the answer soon came.
The undead mage who had fought together in the Ghoul King's palace took form and walked out of the darkness.
-Contractor... It's been a while...!-
"!"
Yi-Han was surprised too.
To think the summoning conditions were met because the contractor's environment became similar to the original realm?
He knew that among beings from other realms, there were those who could only be called under special conditions, but he never expected to see one like this.
"Mr. Verduus!"
-...Wait, who did you say?-
-Please tell us we heard wrong! Quickly!-
The Death Knights showed a more intense reaction than expected and blanched.
They'd rather defeat it themselves than receive help from a certain professor!
