Life of a Magic Academy Mage - Chapter 669
Episode 669
The poachers are startled when an electrical discharge occurs in the air and lightning exposes its teeth.
Now, the poachers disguised themselves as wounded people.
An injured person who was attacked by a monster while wandering around the mountain range!
It was a camouflage that always worked well as it was a dangerous place. Especially if the opponent is a young mage with little experience.
But…
why does magic seem to be aiming this way?
Kwajik!
As the lightning strikes, the bandaged poacher screams and throws himself.
Just now, the lightning was precisely targeting the poacher. If I hadn’t dodged it, I would have hit it right.
‘You crazy bastard!’
“Magician! Why are you like this!”
The lightning did not end with a single blow.
As if the wizards had made up their minds and made preparations, lightning struck like rain.
The poachers, wrapped in bloody bandages as if seriously injured, felt that they might really die if they stayed still.
“Ugh!”
“Run away!”
“You crazy wizard…!”
The poachers scrambled away into the darkness. Lee Han looked at him with an expressionless expression.
‘…a poacher, right?’
It seemed like a poacher because he was suddenly moving faster.
It would have been difficult for someone who was injured to react like that.
Of course, he could have felt his life threatened and reached his potential, but…
‘Hmm. It must be a poacher.’
Although he only attended Ein Lorgard for a year or so, during that time, Lee Han met many strange outsiders.
A demon worshiper, an anti-magicist, a dragon that is forcibly emperor, no, not a dragon…
Anyway, while dealing with cunning devils and magic criminals who have been worn out, Lee Han felt only one thing.
If you think it’s strange, let’s attack first!
If Lee Han, who lacks experience and lacks combat power, loses even the first attack, the answer really disappears.
It was right to think about the aftermath and shoot first if you feel suspicious.
Didn’t they say that there were actually so many poachers in the Bitong Mountains?
The opponent could have been a real hunter, but it was more likely that he was a poacher.
Lee Han made up his mind to think so.
“what’s the matter?!”
My friends were surprised and ran out.
While resting in the tent, he heard magic and shouts and jumped out.
“The poachers approached, so I kept them in check with magic. They all ran away, so there’s nothing to worry about.”
“As expected, it’s Lee Han!”
Gainando was delighted, but Nilia was puzzled.
Most of the poachers were tenacious, tenacious, and unstoppable to achieve their goals.
How do you approach it so clumsily?
“Did you just come?”
“huh.”
Lee Han replied shamelessly.
Nilia pondered with a serious face, not even dreaming of which part Lee Han had left out.
“Fortunately, it was stopped, but more poachers might come.”
“Did you cast a spell like that?”
Guinando pointed to the ground outside the camp. Due to Lee Han’s magic, the soil was charred black.
“All poachers are fearless. And even more so until you get hit yourself. Wake up everyone! You better stay awake.”
The students climbed to their respective positions and checked the surroundings of the camp. Just in time, I saw the Explorer Frostwalk returning from afar.
“Are all the students okay?”
“A group of poachers approached.”
“There are definitely a lot of poachers.”
The frost walk also warned the students not to relax, as if they had noticed several traces of poachers around.
Then, when he heard about the poachers who had approached him in his absence, he was dumbfounded.
“They seem to be newbies with little experience. In fact, even if you have a little experience, it’s rare to see them walking head-on into the encampment made by wizards.”
“Isn’t it because we’re still in low grade?”
“Then they are even more inexperienced. Ignoring Ein Rogard students as being in a lower grade.”
“lol. Maybe so.”
* * *
Unaware that his gang was being treated like inexperienced rookie poachers, the new Julvan was wiping out his returning men.
“Hey, you fools like earthworms! How can you fool a guy younger than a quiver and get caught!”
“They didn’t listen and cast magic!”
“gibberish! Will the Imperial Wizard attack the wounded without listening? Your acting was not good. So what did you do when the magic came flying? Seeing that you are fine, you must have run away!”
“Two bosses. If you just get hit by magic…”
“I’d rather get hit, you idiots! If they were right, they would have been fooled. I avoided it, so they won’t bet on it!”
At Zulvan’s words, the subordinates realized only then and put on a look of resentment.
I never thought I’d lose in a battle of guts with a much younger wizard.
“Follow me. I’d rather do it myself than leave it up to you guys.”
“Two bosses. We’ll admit we made a mistake. But going now could be dangerous. They should be wary too…”
At the words of his subordinates, Zulvan shook his head lamenting.
There was no one who knew how to use their brains.
“There is nothing you can do about it when you face excuses like that. Stupid cubs. follow me! I will show you myself.”
Zulvan mobilized a large number of his men who had not participated earlier.
And then they actually hurt some of them.
“Cheak!”
“Ugh!”
“Be patient. Because I have to show my wounds. If magic flies, hit it! If anyone avoids it, I will kill it.”
Certainly, Zulvan was on a different level even if he used the same strategy. His subordinates must have felt that as well, and morale returned.
Isn’t it because the boss has the ability to follow a violent and ferocious boss?
Following Zulvan’s instructions, the subordinates chased after the boss with their swollen breasts, thinking of getting their share this time as well.
“Please save me!”
“Save me! The Wailing Jeo (慟哭猪) attacked us!”
They trudged to the front gate of the camp, carrying torches.
Unlike before, it was completely defenseless. Enough to annihilate more than half of them in an instant when the attack pours out from the camp.
Even the Frostwalkers, who were watching the front door, were taken aback when a fairly large number of people walked away dripping blood without any defense.
‘Are they really injured?’
Poachers didn’t act like that.
Even if they cheated, they had to send a few less people to check the liver and approach them, they had to feel the sign of running away at any time in preparation for the situation.
However, those who were now approaching were many in number and showed no signs of running away, and were even injured.
Even a seasoned Frostwalker was bound to be confused.
And this was exactly what Zulvan was aiming for.
‘The more seasoned and experienced it is, the more confused it will be.’
Zulvan winked. The poachers are one step closer.
“Everyone stop!”
“Please save me. My colleague is seriously injured…”
At that time, Lee Han, who was standing guard on the other side, belatedly jumped up next to the frost step.
Frostwalker looked at Lee Han and tried to speak.
“I’m checking to see if they’re injured or not…”
“Flash!”
“!!!!”
Frost steps were surprised, and Julvan was also surprised.
Without asking or listening, I thought I would go straight to magic.
Zulvan was convinced by his intuition.
Now, that wizard is the one who tricked his subordinates with bluffs!
‘Do you think I will be defeated?’
Zulvan’s tired, weary face blinked, trying to catch the lightning bolt.
If you hold on to the end, the opposing mage will surely defeat the magic…
Kwajik!
“!!!”
“Jul-Jul-Ban!!!”
When the boss was struck by lightning, screams erupted from among the poachers.
I wouldn’t know if I was in a state of normal equipment, but if I was hit by thunderbolt magic in a defenseless state like before, I couldn’t move for a while.
Sure enough, Zulvan’s legs gave out and he stumbled. His eyes were full of disbelief.
“Nonsense…”
“Spark it!”
The sorcerer mercilessly knocked out Zulvan with another shot of lightning magic.
The poachers reacted slowly, not knowing how to move when their boss fell.
“It’s a poacher! Hit!”
At Lee Han’s cry, the friends went up to their respective positions and began to cast magic. Various offensive spells and curses flew like a storm.
Yoner and Cyana threw shock potions forward. The poachers who were hit directly by the shockwave staggered, paralyzed by their sense of balance.
Guinando and Ratford fed the poachers extra hits with curses and illusion magic. Muscles stiffened and the poachers collapsed even more from the sudden surge of fear.
Nylia aimed her arrows, trying to pierce the one who fled the furthest. Then Durgyu asked.
“Leehan! How did you know they were poachers?”
‘I know?’
Nilia, who was about to shoot the arrow, hesitated.
It was strange when I thought about it. Nilia was also confused whether those people were poachers or not.
“I get it!”
Instead of Lee Han, Frostwalk let out an exclamation.
“seam! You recognized it by the scar! How amazing!”
“A scar?”
“They said they were beaten by the Wailer! If you get hit by that big wild boar, you won’t get hurt like that! That’s a wound forcibly made with a knife!”
At the words of the frost step, Durgyu and Nilia finally realized their friend’s insight.
To realize that the wound was strange in that short moment and launch a counterattack.
Frostwalker lowered his head, probably impressed by what just happened.
“Thank you. Wodanaz. Originally, I have to take care of the students, but I have no face. I thought poachers would reverse the stereotypes that explorers have!”
“I was just lucky.”
Lee Han tried to say that all the suspicious guys who approached him with wounds or something were attackers, but he held back.
‘I’ll have to tell you later when Frostwalker isn’t around.’
In front of Frostwalk, I didn’t want to look like a strange person yet.
* * *
“It’s a hassle to catch poachers.”
Looking at the poachers who had been arrested, Frostwalk put on a troublesome expression.
Unlike the poachers at the beginning of the mountain range earlier, the guys wandering around here weren’t the ones who would go back just because they stole some equipment.
“Can’t you lock it up?”
“They don’t know what to do. I have to attach guards, but in a position where I have to find a unicorn…”
“If you release it, I will never set foot in the mountains again.”
The poachers noticed and spoke to them, but ignored the frost steps.
“Then why don’t you put them in the stable?”
“It’s going to happen if you lock it in the stable… Ah.”
The frosty steps stopped.
It was a belated reminder of what was in this camp.
“…Are you okay? If that friend explodes wildly and attacks…”
“Even though Ponrig has a strong appetite, he’s not a guy who secretly eats what he’s told not to eat. Trust me.”
“Ugh. Then please.”
The poachers’ faces lit up at the conversation in front of them.
I thought that if I did well, I might be able to escape.
As the number of wizards is less than 10, if you look at the stable, you might be able to sneak out and escape…
“Go in this way.”
“Thank you.”
“hmm. okay. Don’t do anything stupid.”
Lee Han opened the stable door and pushed the poachers in.
The poachers hurried inside but hesitated.
It felt like something hot.
purr.
Ponrig made a very uncomfortable sound when some ruffians came pouring into the stable that he had built so generously.
Beaks snapped and claws scratched the stable floor.
“……”
“…!!!”
The desperate screams of the poachers came from inside the stable.
