Surviving as a Mage in a Magic Academy Chapter 909
🕑 Added 2024-10-06 13:17:56 +0000 UTCChapter 909
Fortunately, the Wardanaz family boy shook off his fear and strongly wished for a demigod hamster.
Pop!
The giant skeleton disappeared and a giant hamster appeared in its place.
-A h-hamster?!-
-Is there a mountain range-destroying hamster??-
The giants were flustered when a giant squirming hamster tried to stick its head out of the black coffin.
The magic criminal hamster trapped in the cage let out a sigh of relief and shouted.
-Well done. Concentrate! Maintain it and then pour on the attacks!-
Of course, even though it had taken hamster form, the demigod would never be easy.
Moreover, wasn't it an artificial thought entity created by that tyrant to dominate the continent?
Still, a hamster form was better than a lich form.
-Go back in!-
One giant swung his club crudely and landed a hit on the demigod hamster.
The demigod hamster staggered, making a sound like an avalanche.
-Hit it!-
-Wardanaz's enemy!-
The giants poured fierce attacks on the demigod hamster. When the giants who usually acted gently while tending goats revealed their original strength, their destructive power was beyond imagination.
However, despite that, the demigod hamster's body kept regenerating.
Even though it was being beaten, it was enough to make the giants flinch.
-Th-this hamster, what is it!-
-It's scarier than goats!-
-Stop the attacks.-
-Hmph!-
Despite the demigod hamster's warning, a giant landed another big hit.
Then the demigod hamster let out a sharp cry.
-■■■■■■■■!-
-The c-club!-
-My club! The one I paid a fortune to shape!-
The giants screamed.
The clubs they were holding instantly withered and disappeared. It was as if hundreds of years had passed for them alone.
-Eek!-
The giants didn't give up just because their clubs disappeared. They tore out rocks from the mountains and threw them at the black coffin, and uprooted giant trees to swing.
-Stop it! You idiots! The order and laws have changed!-
The magic criminal hamster, not the demigod hamster, squeaked out a scream.
The cry the demigod hamster just made wasn't a simple cry.
It had reversed the order and laws near that black coffin to suit itself!
Probably attack nullification...
'It won't be just that!'
If it was a combat demigod's ability, it was likely to be more tricky.
Sure enough, the clothes the giants were wearing started to change as if into shackles.
-Urgh?-
-Kuh, kuhk!-
-That's why I told you to retreat!-
No matter how much the hamster in the cage squeaked, the giants wouldn't listen. Yi-Han shouted explosively with mana instead.
"Retreat! Retreat!"
-Retreat!-
-We don't retreat! We advance backwards!-
The giants were wise. They didn't recklessly charge without hope against a strong enemy.
"What is that?"
-Probably... probably some law of submission or subjugation... I'd have to see more to know exactly!-
Not simply nullifying attacks, but a law that made those who charged at it kneel, turned them into slaves, and used them as an army.
It was truly an overpowered ability.
"What nonsense... Even though we changed it to a hamster?!"
-It's only using such laws because we changed it to a hamster! If it were in lich state, that thing would have poured all kinds of terrible dark magic. Imagine if it used all the dark magic of Lord Gonadaltes that you know!-
Yi-Han gritted his teeth with a shudder.
'...Changing it to Gainando probably wouldn't have much effect.'
Whether hamster or Gainando, if it could use demigod laws, it was just an unfair being.
Changing it to a hamster had already blocked other abilities sufficiently.
And Gainando would be more capable than a hamster...
-In front!-
His reaction was a beat late while pondering.
The demigod hamster, noticing Yi-Han was the leader of the giant group, had started actively checking him.
"!!!"
Space distorted, and Yi-Han felt himself being sharply pulled towards the black coffin floating in the air.
-It's trying to swallow you! Get out!-
Yi-Han didn't ask what would happen if the demigod swallowed him. He didn't have the leisure. Magic unfolded instinctively.
One was Wardanaz's telekinesis. The powerful non-verbal 5th Circle magic blocked the attractive force and somehow stopped Yi-Han.
And the other was...
Crackle!
"Lightning, dwell and manifest!"
Because he forcibly cast magic he hadn't yet perfectly mastered, it tasted strongly of blood as if iron fragments had been thrown into his mouth.
'Rebound!'
Forcibly casting magic that didn't match one's level not only led to failure but also put a powerful burden on the mage himself.
Though Yi-Han rarely had such experiences due to being armed with talent and luck, he had finally suffered a mishap from doing too much risky tightrope walking without considering his limits.
But Yi-Han couldn't back down. If he backed down in a situation like this, it would create worse results than not doing anything.
Enormous mana swept around Yi-Han like a storm.
Usually when casting magic, Yi-Han always carefully controlled mana as if scooping it with a teaspoon, but now he boldly radiated mana to prevent rebound.
Instead of hitting and lashing Yi-Han's body, the uncontrolled fierce lightning bounced off and scattered outside.
Having put out the urgent fire, Yi-Han gritted his teeth. If he failed twice, it would be truly dangerous.
"...Lightning, dwell and manifest!!"
The hand not holding the staff instantly turned into lightning.
It was lightning imbued with thought, on a different dimension from the lightning element he usually used.
Yi-Han, the master of the magic, felt that meaning more clearly than anyone.
Pierce through and penetrate the enemy!
The bubbling power suddenly stretched out and headed for the black coffin.
The magic criminal hamster trapped in the cage screamed at that powerful magic.
-I told you the order and laws changed!-
"!"
Yi-Han, whose vision had narrowed from focusing on the attack, opened his eyes wide.
Come to think of it, a hasty attack in a situation where the demigod's laws were defending...
Crack!
The magic, <Wardanaz's Lightning Transformation>, penetrated straight through the demigod hamster.
The magic criminal hamster was more surprised than Yi-Han who cast it or the demigod who was hit.
'How?!'
Of course, the magic just shown was high-level magic that was hard to believe came from a low-year Einroguard student.
At least 5th Circle, and transforming the lightning's properties to contain high-dimensional concepts or thoughts was even higher level than that.
To cast that while maintaining another 5th Circle magic...
Though the hamster was a great mage, he could pay respects to an outstanding junior at this level.
But the law was cruel.
No matter what amazing acrobatics and growth this rookie mage showed, the law didn't change.
If the demigod had unfolded laws of attack nullification and submission, it couldn't be overcome.
Yet it penetrated through that?
'Does this mean it broke through the law with just 5th Circle magic?!'
Since the other changed the law with power, the countermeasure was simple.
This side just had to change the law with power too.
The problem was that for a mage to do that, they had to start with at least a small world.
There was high-level magic that changed laws by exploiting loopholes in the world without mobilizing a small world, but at least that wasn't 5th Circle.
To exert power enough to break through the law with just 5th Circle magic...!
-Stop the attack, commander.-
The demigod hamster called out as if frustrated when Yi-Han, who was supposed to act as commander, attacked it.
Moreover, the attack just now had somehow pierced through even the defense made with laws.
"Who's your commander?"
Yi-Han spat out blood and prepared the next magic.
Though the damage just dealt disappeared instantly, this side also had infinite mana. He planned to pour magic until his mental strength was in tatters.
However, the demigod hamster was one step ahead of Yi-Han.
Instead of engaging in a tug-of-war with a mage who had sharp lightning that couldn't be defended against, it tried a detour.
Yi-Han, who had gotten closer due to space being shaved, was suddenly pushed far away again.
And simultaneously, the space between Yi-Han and the demigod hamster geometrically transformed and distorted.
'Aiming...!'
Yi-Han realized the other's intention.
If it dealt damage by piercing through laws on contact, it just had to raise the difficulty of the surroundings so aiming itself was impossible.
If Yi-Han directly dug in, it would twist space to widen the distance, widen, and widen again...
Yi-Han felt dejected at the sight of it instantly creating an obstacle like Zeno's paradox of the arrow.
'He's going to summon this at legion level?'
At first he had thought the mad doppelganger was crazy, but seeing this now, he thought that if given time, continental conquest might really have become a possible story.
He was tied up like this unable to reverse summon one demigod that hadn't even left the coffin yet, so if other demigods appeared additionally...
"Yi-Han!"
"!"
Yi-Han choked up for a moment at the familiar voice of the troll mixed-blood professor.
Professor Garcia, Professor Boladi, and the Death Knights were flying over from far away.
"Are other professors coming too?"
-Pardon?-
"...Didn't you notice this situation?"
-Ah! I understand now.-
The Death Knight corrected Yi-Han's misunderstanding.
Even if something happened at Einroguard (for example, a demigod being summoned), professors didn't immediately rush over.
In fact, those who came out at times like this were the skull principal's minions, that is, beings like Death Knights.
As incidents were so frequent, if all the professors visited every time a powerful wave was felt, they wouldn't be able to handle the academic schedule.
The Death Knights would check and clean up, and if it still seemed difficult, then support requests would be sent to the professors.
"...But you two came...!"
"I came just in case, worried about Yi-Han. Professor Bagrak here too."
"..."
Yi-Han was disgusted by Einroguard's cold school rules.
He felt like he should change such rules even if he had to submit an anonymous letter later.
"Never mind. Just the two of you are enough! There's a reason for the saying 'an army of thousands'!"
"Yi-Han. Is that blood on your mouth?"
"...Some potion must have splashed earlier. That's not important right now!"
The two professors quickly exchanged glances. Professor Garcia sent telepathy with a worried look.
'He seems to have overdone it, should we send him back to school?'
'I understand.'
'Huh? What?'
'I'll subdue him now, so Professor Garcia take him back.'
'Ah, no. I meant let's persuade him??'
Professor Boladi quietly shook his head.
If he was a disciple who would return when persuaded, he wouldn't have been doing this here in the first place.
Unable to refute, Professor Garcia was at a loss for words for a moment.
Not knowing the two professors were talking about a vicious sneak attack, Yi-Han quickly explained the situation.
"The principal! Went mad! Continental conquest!"
...It wasn't very effective due to his urgency.
"His purpose has reversed."
"The principal's reversed doppelganger is summoning demigods to create an army."
Fortunately, the two professors were smart. They understood very well even though Yi-Han explained terribly.
"But shouldn't the principal's doppelganger be able to sufficiently block or avoid the world's resistance? Why is this situation...?"
"There must have been confusion or agitation."
"Perhaps Yi-Han's influence was a bit involved too?"
"Probably. An outstanding disciple influences even the master."
Sensing something ominous in the two professors' conversation, Yi-Han asked in confusion.
"What did you just say?"
"It's nothing, Yi-Han. Just focus on reverse summoning the demigod."
"That's why I was waiting for instructions..."
