662.
Leo looked embarrassed at Artian’s words.
“A heroic spirit?”
“yes. “Do you have any guess?”
Heroic spirit.
It refers to a hero who died a long time ago and was summoned by a spiritualist.
However, a heroic spirit is not a soul.
To be exact, it is a fragment of memory left in Mana.
Mana is a force that flows in nature.
And the more powerful and willful a being is, the more deeply they can leave their mark on mana.
Spiritual magic was like a memory of the hero’s life engraved in such mana.
And among those heroes, those who have a strong attachment to this world are summoned to this world as heroic spirits.
‘Luna was also able to come to this world like that.’
However, the reason why Luna was able to appear in this world as a heroic spirit was because there was a medium called Cometes.
‘No matter how great a being is, after 5,000 years, the presence left in mana is bound to disappear.’
In response to the hero’s world capture reward and Leo’s spiritual power, a being named Luna appeared in this world as a heroic spirit.
then… … .
‘Rishinas could also appear as a heroic spirit.’
After conquering Lisinas’ world some time ago, Leo inherited Lisinas’ mana.
‘At that time, I met the heroic spirit of Lisinas.’
The last moment when the world of Lisinas was disappearing.
The foolish man in the world of heroes met the King of Wisdom who faintly resided in Leo’s mana.
And he stood in front of Leo, carrying on his future self’s memories.
At that time, Lisinas’ mana left a trace on Leo’s mana.
‘It wouldn’t be surprising if Lishinas’ heroic spirit remained around me.’
furthermore… … .
‘Chelsea said she got angry when she heard that Lisinas, whom she met in Nightmare, was ugly.’
From then on, he began to doubt the existence of Lisinas who may have inhabited him.
But now, after hearing Artian’s words, I became convinced.
‘Lisinas is in the state of a heroic spirit and resides in the mana of the person I inherited.’
Leo clenched his fist and looked at Artian.
“I have a guess.”
“also.”
“Can you possibly summon that heroic spirit?”
Artian is a spiritualist with tremendous abilities.
I thought that if I felt the presence of a heroic spirit, summoning it would be quite possible.
Artian shook his head with a troubled expression in response to Leo’s question.
“it’s hard.”
“Why?”
“If it were a heroic spirit imbued with student Leo’s original power, it would have been possible to summon it, but I don’t think that was the case. “The presence of heroic spirits felt around student Leo is very faint.”
“It’s faint?”
“yes. It’s as if it’s not a heroic spirit that resides in student Leo. In cases where its presence is faint like this, it is often a Heroic Spirit residing in the Hero’s World Exploration Reward, not Leo’s student’s mana.”
“Are you the heroic spirit in my strategy reward?”
“yes. But that’s why it’s so strange. The feeling is obviously similar to that of the heroic spirit obtained through inheritance, but the target of this heroic spirit’s feelings is clearly student Leo. “Umm.”
Artian, who was thinking while tilting his head, clapped his hands.
“ah. “Is there spiritual magic among the heroic powers that Student Leo inherited?”
Leo was surprised by those words.
‘Can you even infer something like that?’
“I think Student Leo is a heroic spirit who manifested after gaining the power of spiritualism. “When I was in my first year, I couldn’t sense any signs of a heroic spirit from Leo.”
At those words, Leo stared at Artian.
Spiritualists are extremely rare.
But that doesn’t mean you can’t see it at all.
After becoming President of the Rumeren Student Council, Leo met several spiritualists.
However, no one felt the presence of a heroic spirit within them like Artian.
“Is there something on my face?”
“Professor Artian is a genius too.”
“yes?”
Artian didn’t understand the meaning of the sudden words.
“I guess I’ll have no choice but to summon you.”
“yes. But it will be very difficult. It is true that student Leo has a heroic spirit, but he is not in an awakened state. The awakened spirit is asleep. furthermore… … .”
“furthermore?”
“If you are not a born spiritualist, it is very difficult to control the ability even if you have acquired it.”
At those words, Leo stared at Artian.
“professor.”
“yes.”
“Can you teach me necromancy?”
“To student Leo?”
Artian tilted his head and then spoke.

“It’s not difficult, but if you’re unfamiliar with spiritual arts, you’ll have to learn it late at night. “The spirit’s energy becomes stronger at night.”
“thank god. “Because I’m the student council president.”
“yes?”
Artian, who had a puzzled expression on his face, brightened up.
“iced coffee! Student Leo uses a private room.”
Artian clapped his hands.
“Hehe, I guess there won’t be a problem if I go to Leo’s dorm room every night.”
“You seem motivated.”
“Well, student Leo and no one else asked me for private lessons, right?”
Artian’s eyes opened slightly.
“As a professor, I am very fortunate to be able to teach students like Leo.”
“Then please take care of me.”
“Just trust me.”
Artian lightly hit his chest with his fist and made a sullen expression.
“I will teach Leo everything I know.”

The next morning.
“Why can’t I go! “Is it because I’m not good enough?”
Sasha asked Leo with a tearful expression.
“It’s not because you and the other kids aren’t skilled enough. “It’s just because those three people are specialized for this mission.”
“that’s right. Shasha. “Don’t be too discouraged.”
Chelsea also comforted Sasha.
“But the only pure magician is senior Chelsea… … “Don’t I deserve to join?”
As Juen spoke with an angry expression next to him, Carl pointed his finger at Duran and Eliza.
“It’s the Knight Department and the Summoning Department, but the Prince and Eliza are big walking bombs. “Not only in terms of personality, but also in terms of skills.”
“There’s no need to express your desire to die like that, right? Carl Thomas?”
“What about my personality?”
“Kegegegeung!”
Duran asked with a cold smile, and Eliza strangled Karl with a whip.
“I’m still angry.”
As Juen spoke, clenching his fists, Karl, who had managed to break free, spoke while stroking his neck.
“Well, missions have all kinds of characteristics… … .”
“Heh. “It’s a burden to have the expectations of my seniors.”
“Did you have that kind of personality? “Little Prince.”
Karl sighed lightly as he looked at Habidden approaching and smiling.
Because Haviden was Duran’s mentee in first grade, Carl called him Little Prince.
Moreover, like Duran, he was also the successor to a country.
“Don’t be ridiculous, Harvey. “You were just chosen because you specialized in mobility!”
“The jealousy of those left behind is ugly.”
At those words, Juen, whose forehead was tense, grabbed the sword and waved it wildly.
“Senior Carl! Please tell Senior Leo! “You can tie it up like a piece of luggage and drag it around, so please take me too!”
“That’s not allowed. Juen. “The luggage is even more useless.”
“Kyaaaaaaaaa!”
“Aina. “What should I do if I make fun of Juen?”
“… … ? You weren’t making fun of me, were you? “I was just telling the truth.”
Aina’s eyes widened at Luke’s reprimand.
Even if you were in perfect condition, you couldn’t join. If you feel like a burden, you shouldn’t join.
Aina wanted to say this, but thanks to her inability to understand the mood, she successfully provoked Juen.
“Heh. It’s a piece of luggage. “It suits you.”
“You’re dead!”
As Haviden teased, Juen attacked with a pickaxe.
“now. Just do it in moderation.”
Carl grabbed Juen’s armpits from behind and lifted him up.
Juen was fluttering wildly with his feet floating in the air.
“senior! Please let me go! “I’m going to chop that guy’s head off with this pickaxe to prove that he needs me more!”
“now. stop. “I’ll give you candy.”
“I’m a kid!”
“Harbidden. “Stop teasing me too.”
“yes.”
Haviden responded politely to Karl’s point and stepped back.
Haviden, who was a graduate of one of the top three prestigious academies before admission, had been to Lumern before enrolling there.
At first, he dismissed Karl as a commoner, but after seeing Karl fight, he changed his mind.
Even after he entered school, Habidden treated Karl very respectfully.
Carl said while looking at Juen who was holding the candy he had received in his mouth.
“Don’t be too hasty. Again, it’s not that your skills are lacking. Sasha, the same goes for you.”
“… … yes.”
“all right.”
Eliza said angrily as she looked at Carl, who had calmed down the juniors and returned.
“Regardless of department, my juniors follow me well.”
“Heh. “Isn’t it because I have a good reputation?”
“You certainly have a good reputation among juniors.”
“huh?”
Carl was taken aback when he saw Eliza saying yes.
If it had been Eliza, it would have been much easier to calm the juniors.
You just have to suppress it with charisma.
However, Carl calmed down his juniors by literally calming them down.
“Well, it’s the perfect method for you, who’s withdrawn.”
“thank god.”
“… … ? what?”
“Why are you praising me? “I thought you were sick somewhere.”
Pak-!
“Leo! help me!”
Seeing Eliza pulling the whip tautly, Carl quickly ran away from Leo.
Driana looked at him from afar and stroked her chin.
“What are you looking at like that again?”
“I thought I could find a great model at this party.”
“You’ll never get it?”
Ar made a pitiful expression.
Leo said after confirming that preparations were complete.
“Then let’s leave.”
*
Leo and his party entered the territory of Tartarus and began to move in earnest.
The beginning of Tartarus’ territory resembled a disputed border.
Although it was clearly the territory of Tartarus, it is a place where battles continue to take place in the world to reclaim it.
Although there has been no armed conflict with Tartarus on the eastern front recently, Damian and Shan, the largest powers in the eastern part of the continent, have consistently subdued demons, monsters, and beasts in the surrounding area.
In other words, the number of enemies was relatively small at the beginning.
“There are countless Gigantes in the area we scouted, but that is a special case.”
“A special case?”
“okay. “It’s a dense area.”
Leo said, recalling the two days of battle.
“If there were that many monsters in the entire realm of Tartarus, this world would have been destroyed in the first place.”
Artian nodded after hearing Leo’s words.
“Student Leo is right. No matter how deep you are in the realm of Tartarus, you can’t always encounter that number of monsters and monsters. There must be a special reason. For example, there is an entrance to a hero dungeon nearby.”
“It means we have to go there again eventually.”
“that’s right.”
Leo nodded.
The group moved on with tense expressions.
Since they had already figured out the terrain and situation of the surrounding area, the group moved very quickly.
After a while.
Leo narrowed his brows as he arrived at the Gigantes haunted area.
“huh? what? “Where have all the Gigantes gone?”
Illyana looked embarrassed.
The huge number of Gigantes that I had checked earlier were not visible.
Artian said while checking the map.
“Originally, this area is a safe zone where monsters and beasts cannot be found.”
However, now that a clear abnormal situation has occurred in the form of a hero dungeon, it could easily be called a danger zone.
Eliza and Carl, who had been scouting in the sky, returned to earth.
“It seems like the Gigantes have moved on a large scale?”
“Mass migration?”
“okay. “I see signs of movement.”
If Gigantes, a huge monster, moved on a large scale, it was bound to leave traces.
“I have to follow the traces first… … .”
Kugugugugugugugugugung-!
The surrounding area began to shake.
Everyone was on high alert due to the sudden situation.
Quad deuk! Quagga River-!
Soon, a huge arm rose up in front of Leo.
“Goooooooo!”
“what? “Who is that monster?!”
Karl was startled and looked at the demon rising from the ground.
Leo muttered as he looked at the huge demon radiating unusual black magic.
“Giganto.”
“Oppa Leo, do you know the demons?!”
“He is a great demon who was the right hand man of the giant king Gias.”
Leo clenched his fists.
“That’s fun.”
“what?”
Leo said with a belligerent smile while looking at Chelsea who was embarrassed.
“To kill the demon I killed again.”
