Chapter 516
'What kind of ridiculous bracelet is this?'
Yi-Han cursed the skull principal who had gifted him such an absurd artifact.
An artifact where the demon inside could pop out and take over his body.
It was an artifact that no sane mage would have a reason to wear.
However, in fact, the skull principal also had something to say.
Basically, the demons trapped in this bracelet of ten thousand demons were not simply trapped, but their very existence was attributed and sealed.
In other words, even if they could come out for a moment, they couldn't endure for long and would soon have to return inside the bracelet.
Moreover, how many demons were trapped inside?
These demons were sealed in a mixed state, so it was very difficult for them to regain their self and directly crawl out.
Even if they did such a thing, there would be signs, and it would take quite a long time, so there was no way a mage wouldn't know.
However, Anpursas immediately regained his self and recovered his mind, popping out of the bracelet before Yi-Han could even react.
The heat of war felt around him had awakened Anpursas, the demon of struggle and battle, but in fact, the fundamental reason was thanks to the powerful mana of the mage wearing it.
Even without Yi-Han consciously injecting it, the mana flowing in when casting magic or utilizing mana was enormous.
Of course, not knowing such a fact, Yi-Han cursed the skull principal.
"Don't talk nonsense. Demon. Do you think I would compromise with a demon?"
-You underestimate me, Anpursas, mage! Although I am sealed here, I was once the nightmare and fear of all enemies!-
At Yi-Han's words, Anpursas also snorted.
Although his existence was sealed and attributed to the bracelet of ten thousand demons, so he would have to return someday, Anpursas was still a powerful demon.
Powerful enough to easily take over the body of a mage like this.
-Since you are the owner of the seal and have generously bestowed mana, I will not treat you harshly.-
"...Wait. What do you mean by generously bestowing mana..."
-Behold, and fear me, I am Anpursas!-
Having finished the conversation, Anpursas exerted his power to take over Yi-Han's body.
He intended to borrow the body for a moment and show the true battle of a warrior.
"..."
-...-
However, nothing happened.
Both Anpursas, who was straining with all his might, and Yi-Han, who had been tense at the demon's declaration, were confused.
-Is my power not fully recovered?-
Anpursas swelled his existence once again.
However, the human mage's body approached with a daunting weight. He was like an ant pushing a huge mountain range.
After straining and enduring for a while, Anpursas retreated, exhausted.
-...I will not return inside until you give me a chance to fight!-
'Isn't this guy crazy?'
Yi-Han was startled when Anpursas kept persisting even after retreating exhausted, thinking he would obediently return to the bracelet.
Come to think of it, there was no way a demon would have a conscience or shame.
"Then stay like that."
-I will not return inside until you give me a chance to fight! I will not return inside until you give me a chance to fight! I will not return inside until you give me a chance to fight!-
"..."
Yi-Han wanted to go to the skull principal and ask, "Can I annihilate all the demons inside the bracelet of ten thousand demons?" regardless of the seal.
"Gainando. Listen carefully."
-I am Anpursas!-
"Ah. Sorry. For a moment... Anyway, Anpursas. Listen carefully. Of course, I also want to grant your wish. As the owner of the bracelet of ten thousand demons you're trapped in, why wouldn't I grant such a request?"
Due to the demon screaming to the point of making his ears sting, Yi-Han chose persuasion instead of ignoring him.
"However, this situation right now is not a battle, but a festival. Look carefully."
-They're shedding each other's blood?-
"...When the festival is exciting, they can shed a little blood with each other."
-There are broken debris and corpses over there?-
"...They're not corpses, just people who have collapsed for a moment. Because the festival is exciting."
The demon didn't quite understand Yi-Han's words, but decided to accept them for now since he was the owner of the bracelet.
-Are you truly saying there is no chance for me to fight? How disappointing...-
Rumble rumble rumble!
The realm crack opened, and suddenly, an eerie chill began to spread everywhere.
The seniors, sensing the arrival of a formidable enemy from another realm, hardened their expressions and chanted spells.
'If it's a chill...'
'If it's a frost nature, it'll be troublesome.'
'Please, just don't let it be a penguin army. Just don't let it be a penguin army.'
Each recalling the worst cold-related enemies they had experienced, the seniors tensed up.
-Is this the territory of these mages? Why do you mages live so unstably?-
"..."
Yi-Han bowed his head deeply at the sight of the familiar opponent.
The appearance of an intelligent giant wearing a blue ice crown.
What had emerged through the crack was the King of Frost Giants.
***
Seeing the seniors murmuring here and there, Yi-Han came to his senses.
'What's important now is...'
To stay still while the seniors defeat the King of Frost Giants.
It would be troublesome if the King of Frost Giants recognized Yi-Han and called out to him.
-I will not return inside until you give me a chance to fight! I will not return inside until you give me a chance to fight! I will not return inside until you give me a chance to fight!-
"...Shut up."
Yi-Han growled lowly at the demon who was screaming to the point of making his ears sting.
Once Anpursas returned inside the bracelet, he had no intention of calling him out no matter what happened.
No matter how much he needed help, he would never call him out!
-Young challenger. Have you been well? You haven't aged much.-
"..."
The King of Frost Giants recognized Yi-Han right away and greeted him.
Come to think of it, the stone given by the King of Frost Giants was embedded in Yi-Han's staff, so there was no way he wouldn't recognize him.
-Then let's see how much you've improved in the meantime...-
"Damn it."
Even without using divination magic, Yi-Han closed his eyes tightly at the intuited future.
"Seniors. Please avoid it!"
"What kind of nonsense are you talking about?"
Phil retorted to Yi-Han's words as if telling him not to joke around.
Where would there be a senior who would run away with a junior in tow?
"And even if that guy is strong, this is Einroguard."
As soon as he finished speaking, Coholti launched the undead army.
As the one who knew the relationship between the King of Frost Giants and Yi-Han the best here, no, as a senior, he felt a heavy responsibility.
"King of Frost Giants, don't touch the young mage!"
-Dark mage? The energy feels familiar...-
"...Where are you spouting nonsense from!"
Coholti led the ghost army and struck the King of Frost Giants.
However, the King of Frost Giants was not to be taken lightly either. He immediately summoned a penguin army from the crack and began to push back Coholti's ghost army.
Some seniors screamed at the sight of the penguin army.
"Oh my god! It's the penguin army!!"
"Of all things!"
"?"
Yi-Han was startled by the seniors' reactions, but as soon as he saw the penguin army fighting, he understood.
As they attempted to break through by biting the ghost army while wearing brutal cold magic on their bodies, even the formidable ghost army was pushed back.
"Support! Support!!"
"If they break through there, it becomes dangerous! Deal with the penguin army first!"
The seniors who saw the penguin army rushed to deal with them first, turning pale with fright.
Anpagon also couldn't dare to aim the artifact at the King of Frost Giants. He aimed at the penguin army with cold sweat running down his back. It was evident that he would fire immediately if they moved even a little in that direction.
The King of Frost Giants turned his gaze back to Yi-Han.
"..."
-Go.-
As the King of Frost Giants gave the command, ice castle spirits appeared and began to charge forward with a roar.
A path made of cold air was created in the air and stretched straight towards Yi-Han. The ice castle spirits became even more powerful on it.
The healing magic students prepared for battle as if daring them to come, but in Yi-Han's view, the compatibility was not very good.
'To use healing magic in a combative way, the opponent must be alive first.'
The combative use of healing magic was to perceive and twist various elements such as the opponent's nerves, organs, and viscera to bring out maximum destructive power.
However, such things were meaningless against spirits from another world made of ice. It was like fighting with one arm tied.
It would have been better if he could avoid the attacks summoned by the King of Frost Giants like last time, but perhaps because he had passed the trial last time, the King of Frost Giants seemed to have greatly raised the standard.
Those ice castle spirits were definitely not the kind that could be easily captured.
'If I unleash flame magic without control... Damn it. It seems like the seniors will take more damage.'
-Let me borrow your arm!-
"I told you to shut up."
Yi-Han's voice turned cold as his patience was running out.
However, Anpursas, being a demon, didn't pay much attention to the other person's emotions.
-I swear on Anpursas' true name that if you let me get rid of that group, I will return!-
"You can get rid of them?"
Yi-Han was skeptical.
Of course, if it were Anpursas' original state, he might have been able to get rid of them.
Because from what he heard, he was quite a powerful demon.
However, Anpursas was now in a state where he had to borrow Yi-Han's body to fight.
Even if he lent it to him, it was questionable whether he could fight well.
-If I fail to get rid of them all, I will become the mage's most lowly servant and slave. I, Anpursas, as a warrior...-
Anpursas went on about how outstanding a warrior he was and how many formidable enemies he had defeated in his realm.
Yi-Han didn't really believe it. He could also do that kind of embellishment.
'I defeated the royalty, captured the basilisk, and the King of Ghouls...'
But there was less and less time. The ice castle spirits were trying to break through the healing magic students and come over.
As they tore apart the wooden vines that had grabbed them and tried to strike the senior, Yi-Han gritted his teeth and shouted.
"If you can't properly resolve it, I swear I will annihilate you too. Go!"
***
Phil clicked his tongue in annoyance as he looked at the ice castle spirits.
They were better than the penguin army, but those enemies were also the worst opponents.
Because the magic that could be used was limited since they were made of ice.
"Let's call the guys on the penguin army side instead! It's better for us to deal with the penguin army!"
"Understood. The signal now..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a black light suddenly flew from behind and shattered the ice castle spirit.
"?"
"???"
The physical abilities of the healing mages were currently enhanced by magic.
The mages were startled by the attack that had penetrated their perception.
"What..."
But the surprise was just beginning.
Yi-Han, who had drawn the Morning Star, began to slice the ice castle spirits while exuding murderous energy.
Swish swish swish swish swish-!
The appearance shown by the junior of the Wardanaz family was closer to a swordsman who had reached the realm than a mage.
The ice castle spirits roared in anger and swung their pointed clubs, but the junior disappeared leaving an afterimage and cut down the castle spirits with a single stroke.
'He's pulling out aura?!'
A senior from the White Tiger Tower was shocked to see Yi-Han pulling out aura.
The supreme realm that a talented swordsman could only complete by pouring his life into it!
The ice castle spirits seemed to have realized that Yi-Han was a warrior they couldn't dare to face, so they changed their strategy. The moment one was shattered by the sword, they simultaneously charged to try to grab him first.
However, Yi-Han swung his remaining fist to smash the ice castle spirits with force and roared.
"..."
"...Ju-junior, you must be very angry today..."
