假冒大法師

Ryan, servant of the legendary archmage Peter, is captured after his master falls on the battlefield. With a sword at his throat, he makes a desperate bluff and claims to be Peter himself—an ordinary man with no magic, suddenly impersonating the most powerful mage on the continent. By chance, he spots a flaw in a cursed formation and lifts the general’s deadly hex, earning widespread reverence. Yet Elena, a cold female mage, sees through his pretense. She sets trap after trap to expose his secret, putting him in mortal danger time and again, but Ryan narrowly escapes every death trial. He later discovers a deep underground well is no ordinary barrier, but a cage sealing the Demon Lord. Moved by a young girl’s innocent words, he sets aside hatred and repairs the ancient seal. Soon after, envoys from the rival kingdom arrive bearing Peter’s corpse. The late mage’s spirit lingers, revealing Ryan’s true identity. The corpse opens its eyes, and the Demon Lord awakens at last. In the final crisis, Ryan grabs Elena’s hand and proposes an alliance. Together, they reseal the Demon Lord. When she asks who he truly is, he wipes the blood from his lips and answers calmly:“Just a servant who knows how to mend magic formations.”
