Magic Academy's Genius Blinker - Chapter 34
Chapter 34
The Necromancer’s Attack (5)
“…Evil…”
Crunch, crack!
A prison of pure white bones rose from the ground.
It was cast in just 0.5 seconds, a scam of a spell that quickly trapped the designated target, so the only way to counter it was to react swiftly and move out of the way.
[Blink]
As soon as I evaded behind a rock, a sharp bone spear spun and flew at me.
Buzz!! Like a drill, the bone spear drilled into the rock but fortunately didn’t touch Baek Yu-seol’s head.
“Huff, puff…”
He breathed heavily.
He almost died.
T h i s w a s c op i ed f ro m ki n gm tl . o rg
No, he felt he was about to die.
But just like him, his opponent was also completely exhausted.
Having scattered most of his mana on the ground to expand his territory, lost a General-level skeleton connected to his neural network, and forcibly summoned more skeletons, Sabaekh was also internally injured.
[Blink]
T hi s w a s c op i e d fro m king m t l .o r g
Crunch!
As proof, Sabaekh’s bone shield, which should have been impervious to Baek Yu-seol’s flimsy Terivon Sword, was precariously crumbling.
Of course, this was also due to Baek Yu-seol’s efforts.
He had prepared a ‘Coke Potion’ specifically to fight the necromancer.
This potion, professionally known as ‘Calcium Dissolution Liquid,’ had the effect of weakening bone magic and melting shields.
T his w a s c o p i e d f ro m k i n g m t l . o r g
‘Damn rat…’
He was fast. Too fast. A mage using Blink. He had never faced such an enemy before.
Even if he grabbed him with a bone claw, Baek Yu-seol would Blink to a different location, and if he tried to trap him with a bone wall, he would soar into the sky and attack from above.
If he let his guard down for even a moment, Baek Yu-seol would exploit his blind spot and attack. No matter how much he expanded his shield, Baek Yu-seol would catch and target the smallest gap.
‘If only I were in perfect condition…!’
Thi s w as c o p i e d f r o m k in g m t l.o rg
If he were, he could have easily captured that fast brat. But, as his current condition was terrible, he had to use whatever he could.
T h is w a s c o p i e d fr o m k i n g m t l . o r g
“Bone Pierce!”
Sabaekh generated dozens of bone arrows in the air and aimed them at Baek Yu-seol.
Swish, swish, swish! Dozens of arrows flew at once, but Baek Yu-seol used Blink to avoid them all.
‘I expected it!’
The minimum delay between Baek Yu-seol’s use of Blink was 1.5 seconds! The distance calculation and the delay caused by the preparation motion to cancel Blink created this gap.
‘Now!’
Sabaekh fired a single arrow he had deliberately saved.
Baek Yu-seol reacted late and quickly deflected it with his Terivon Sword, but he couldn’t completely read the flow of mana, barely altering its trajectory.
Thud!
“Ugh!”
It grazed his shoulder. Blood trickled down.
No matter how weakened and exhausted he was, a 5-class was still a 5-class.
‘…But, that also means he’s only this strong despite being a 5-class.’
Baek Yu-seol gritted his teeth and scattered a fire potion from his pocket. A 1-class flame rose, but it hardly affected Sabaekh.
However, the smoke effectively disrupted his vision and distracted him.
He pulled out a dagger coated in oil from his pocket and threw it at Sabaekh, then used Blink to move to his rear.
Sabaekh deflected the dagger, and as it flew, Baek Yu-seol threw another potion at it, causing a small explosion.
“Damn it!”
Hurriedly raising his bone shield, Sabaekh blocked the blast, but in that short moment, Baek Yu-seol approached and stabbed his waist with his sword.
Thud!
“Ugh…”
He missed. He aimed for the waist but hit the side. Baek Yu-seol quickly tried to retreat but realized too late that Blink was on cooldown.
‘Damn it!’
That brief opening was immediately exploited.
T h i s w a s c o pi e d f r om k in g mtl . o r g
A bone spike shot up from beneath Sabaekh’s foot and pierced Baek Yu-seol’s thigh!
Gritting his teeth, Baek Yu-seol leaped back and fell to one knee.
“Ugh…”
He had never suffered such an injury in his life. Though he held on with his willpower thanks to ‘Psychic Force,’ the scorching pain made it difficult to move.
“Heh… you lousy brat. You acted all high and mighty, but look at you now.”
Baek Yu-seol, sweating profusely, grabbed his Terivon Sword. But he couldn’t use Blink.
To use Blink, he needed to perform the ‘Blink Motion Cancel,’ but the pain made it impossible to focus.
Most of his psychic force was consumed by enduring the pain, rendering his Intuition useless. His head throbbed painfully.
‘Damn it…’
Sweating, he desperately tried to think.
Sabaekh was also in bad condition. If he could exploit a single opening, he could kill him.
‘But, how?’
He couldn’t think of a way to create an opening. He had used up all his potions and throwable items. He couldn’t run, so his usual distraction tactics were impossible.
Crunch!!
Sabaekh summoned a bone spear in his right hand and, clutching his bleeding side, staggered toward Baek Yu-seol. He was full of openings. If only Baek Yu-seol could use Blink successfully just once, he could cut his throat.
T h i s w a s c o p ie d f ro m ki n gm t l . o r g
Just once, just one successful Blink…
‘Ah.’
At that moment, a thought flashed through his mind.
‘If I can’t perform the Blink Motion Cancel…’
Biting his lip, he got up, rolled backward, and crawled away. Faster than Sabaekh’s advancing pace.
“Are you trying to run…! You can’t use Blink, so you look pathetic!!”
Ignoring his words, Baek Yu-seol rolled and crawled.
Covered in dirt, his wounds tearing and bleeding, he didn’t stop.
And finally.
When he reached the desired location, Baek Yu-seol turned to face Sabaekh.
The distance between Sabaekh and Baek Yu-seol was exactly 13 meters.
A distance where he didn’t need to perform a Blink Motion Cancel.
He straightened his sword, pointing it directly ahead.
“Uh…?”
Realizing something, Sabaekh hastily tried to protect his chest with his arms.
Too late.
[Blink]
In a gap of 0.1 seconds, he dashed 12 meters and thrust his sword into Sabaekh’s heart with all his strength!
Thud!
T h is w a s c o p i e d fro m k i n g mt l . o r g
‘It’s shallow.’
The mana output of the Terivon Sword was too weak to penetrate Sabaekh’s shield. But he couldn’t back down now.
“Aaaargh!!”
Slightly pulling the sword back, he thrust it again.
Thud!!
This time, he properly stabbed the heart.
* * *
Flare! Thud!
As Hong Bi-yeon’s flames burst, her teammates finished off an Elite Skeleton.
They had taken down three of the allotted Elite Skeletons, but two more remained.
She bit her lip and surveyed her team’s condition.
‘This isn’t good…’
Everyone was exhausted. With the enemy’s strength suddenly increasing, the situation had worsened.
‘We can barely hold on.’
Originally, they should have dealt with the guards and joined Baek Yu-seol’s team, but not everything goes as planned.
“Princess! We have a big problem! Over there, Baek Yu-seol is fighting the necromancer alone!”
“…What?”
Apparently, Baek Yu-seol was fighting the necromancer alone, even though the plan had gone awry.
By now, the scattered Stella students should be dividing and conquering the necromancer’s forces… but could anyone help him?
“Can Baek Yu-seol hold out until we get there?”
Officially, Baek Yu-seol was a 1-class mage. But the opponent was a 5-class necromancer.
The difference was akin to a child with a toy fighting an adult with a sword.
But there was no way to help now.
They were also entangled with two Elite Skeletons and dozens of other skeletons.
“Princess…”
“…We can’t worry about that now! Focus on the enemies before you!”
At Hong Bi-yeon’s command, her teammates raised their trembling hands. Despite their limited mana, their hands trembled visibly. It was their first real battle, and enduring this much was commendable.
Other teams were also in dire situations.
Flame, holding the injured Jackie, bit her lip as she retreated.
Boom… crash!!
Three skeletons were smashed by Hae Wonryang’s staff, but five more filled the gap.
‘This isn’t working…’
Facing a necromancer with just thirteen students was impossible.
There was no hope…
Thwack!
Seeing Hae Wonryang struck by a skeleton’s club and thrown back, Flame immediately went to him and raised a shield.
Thud, thud!!
Thi s w a s c op i e d f r o m k i n gm t l . o r g
“Ugh…”
The light shield, too small to fit three people, began to crack and break as the skeleton horde pounded on it.
With no mana left to counterattack, Flame held Jackie and Hae Wonryang close, bowing her head with a single determination to protect them.
“Please, someone…
Help us.
Just as she was about to shout that.
Suddenly, all noise ceased. For several seconds.
“…What?”
Sensing something strange, she slowly raised her head.
“What is this…?”
The numerous skeleton soldiers surrounding her were all frozen.
As if time had stopped.
Then, with a clattering sound, the skeletons crumbled to the ground, like puppets with their strings cut.
“Could it be…”
Getting up first, she helped Hae Wonryang and Jackie stand, supported herself with her staff, and moved quickly.
She wasn’t the only one who noticed the situation change; Hong Bi-yeon and her teammates, Aiselle, Dokcheolgwang, and Bandiyun also stumbled toward the center.
And when they finally reached the center.
They witnessed an unbelievable sight.
A colorless glowing sword embedded in Sabaekh’s chest, held by Baek Yu-seol.
The significance was clear.
‘Baek Yu-seol defeated the necromancer.’
Upon realizing this, someone collapsed to the ground with a thud. It triggered a domino effect, and the sounds of people dropping to the ground continued.
“We survived. We really survived…”
“Thank God.”
How a first-year student defeated a necromancer was irrelevant.
They had simply survived. That fact alone filled their hearts.
“Aaaargh!!”
T hi s w as c o pi e d f rom k i n g m t l.o rg
Some loudly cheered in victory, some cried, and others hugged each other in joy.
Now, they could finally relax.
