Red Pagoda Owners-1
It didn’t take long to come to my senses from the sudden explosion.
“…Hey Leo…”
Aria was in a strange posture surrounded by a physical black stone shield. Because she ran while holding Leo, it was also an happening that happened to her.
“I can’t breathe…”
Ariaspil and Leonardo were rubbing each other’s bodies sealed in a black stone.
Especially, because Leonardo’s body was bigger than Aria’s, Aria had no choice but to be completely wrapped up in Leonardo’s body.
“…Sorry…Sorry.”
After releasing her shield, Leonardo hurried away from Aria. It’s still a crisis situation, but it’s only when it’s distracted like this that I can’t properly respond to the battle.
“…Okay…It’s okay.”
Arya Spiel unconsciously recalled his previous sensation, blushing for no reason.
It was true that the situation was still dangerous, but his own instincts were calling for him to recall the sensation as soon as possible.
‘…No, what are you thinking…! I have to concentrate in this situation.’
Arya Spiel hit him on the cheek to correct her stupid thoughts. A slap sound resounded, and the shady desire was sucked back into the abyss inside.
“…The owner of the red tower…”
To check the body, Ariasviel walked slowly to the explosion site where the red pagoda was.
At the scene of the explosion, only a huge pit filled the eyes so that it was pointless to search for the exploded body.
Anyone could see that there was no trace of life left there.
The body of the red pagoda had disappeared by self-destruction.
“…Totally dead. The capture failed.”
It was regrettable that he died, but Ariasviel was at the same time relieved.
The owner of the red tower had a reputation for being the strongest among wizards, but he was defeated more easily than I thought.
“Let’s report it first.”
Leonardo left telepathic telephony open for communication.
Although the current situation was not fully grasped, it was necessary to convey that the enemy pagoda self-destructed and they survived the scene.
[…Uh…G…Jik…Ju…Jik…Uh…]
However, communication failed. The ringing was just a simple noise, and without thinking, it was caused by an explosion just now. The waves of mana were completely distorted by the power of the explosion.
‘…Not being able to communicate is a big blow…’
The worst situation in a battle is neither lack of soldiers nor lack of supplies.
The biggest crisis was not being able to grasp the situation properly due to lack of communication and information errors.
Perhaps it was at that moment, Leonardo’s senses shook sharply in one direction.
Hwiik
“Leo?!”
An arrow shot almost instinctively, it was as if it had been fired as soon as he took out the bowstring.
Chang!
But it definitely hit the mark. Although the power was insignificant as it was quickly shot for containment, the attack was definitely delivered to the enemy.
“…You would notice it on this street.”
Another enemy tower owner who was preparing for the explosion magic should have blocked the arrow with defensive magic on the spot.
“…Was he alive…?!”
Ariaspil was so astonished at that situation.
Obviously, the previous appearance was the act of activating the self-destruction by rotating the circle enough to overload it.
However, the figure of the red pagoda on top of the pit seemed to completely deny that fact.
“…No. It appeared even after he died.”
“That is correct. You are also well-informed.”
As if it were a prize for a correct answer, the owner of the red pagoda fired bombs toward the pit. As if the wasted mana had already been recharged, the amount and power exploded more than just before.
‘…It’s more powerful because it’s not raining.’
As the sky was pierced and the clouds ripped open from the previous explosion, the climate around here turned in his favor.
From the perspective of the air flow, even if Aileen and Rios cooperated again, it would be impossible to make it rain in this direction.
‘Then…’
Leonardo blocked the flame magic by rotating the Fulgor he had taken out in succession. What followed was the magic of the smoke screen, and the smoke screen that exploded swelled up as if it were growing after eating the explosion.
“…Leo…! How could the owner of the red pagoda…!”
“…You saw my mother’s body the other day, right?”
Ariasviel’s expression turns cold at that one word.
They were obviously cloned entities.
But that doesn’t mean that the memories of the two are connected, or that the mother’s original memories are not shown.
But what if, in other words, you could create a clone with memories?
“…Then… Invulnerable…”
With that alone, I could understand why the entity called the Red Pagoda Master was alive. And that killing would never be easy.
“First of all, please go to the magic tower.”
Leonardo flapped the cloak of subspace and led Aria to the outside of the pit.
“I have to convey this situation even for a moment. Besides, there’s a high chance that woman will remain in the Magic Tower.”
Perhaps that is why he was able to come to this place himself. Even if you die anyway, the reserve is dead, and even if you are caught, you can maintain an alibi that you are in the Magic Tower.
“…But then Leonardo you…!”
“It’s okay. There is only one Red Pagoda owner here. So…”
Quaaagh!
The sound of an explosion that severely cut off words, and according to the sound, the explosion also roughly pierced the smoke screen.
“Are you running away now? What a disappointment. There is no point in revealing a secret at all.”
The red pagoda owner came out of the smoke screen and approached holding the blazing flames in his hands. As befits the dry airflow, the flames gave off uncontrollable heat.
It was clearly stronger than before, and fighting alone was several times more disadvantageous than two pincers.
“…Ainah!”
Leonardo flapped his cloak and called his daughter by name.
“Yes, Father.”
“Please give Mom a ride to the Magic Tower! Hurry!”
“Okay.”
Ain put a wyvern’s teeth into his arm. The owner of her teeth is a sylphid wyvern who boasts the fastest speed, and Ain, who has turned into her wyvern, grabs her aria with her mouth and rides it on her back.
“Wait…! Leo!”
“It’s okay.”
With those words, Leo looked straight ahead. Ariaspil was also staring blankly at Leo’s back.
“You know what I trained to beat you?”
Ariasviel didn’t say anything for a while at that sincere sentence.
It was an obvious bluff, but what kind of effort was put into making that obvious bluff come true?
And how heavy the effort is.
I was able to speak carelessly because I knew it.
Her words, spoken by Arya in less than a second of silence, were simple.
“…Never lose to anyone other than me. Especially for women, never.”
Leonardo laughed and raised the sword of the black sword.
“I will do as you command. Warrior.”
At last, Ain’s wings soared.
“Do you think you will send it?”
The fireball of the red tower was fired towards the body of the wyvern.
Saaang! Pew!
“Do you think I will let you guess?”
The weapon that struck the fireball was not in Leonardo’s hand.
“Ho… This is unexpected.”
“Because the trump card is not only for you.”
The sword-shaped panels floating around Leonardo floated in the air with loud mechanical sounds.
It was as if new arms and hands had sprouted from Leo.
***
The story of Ameri Esp’s failure to escape from the Magic Tower is quite complicated.
“…Ummm…”
She was staying late at night in the Mage Tower Library, preparing for her graduation assignment.
The assignment she was given was a graduation assignment that could be presented to Amerigi, which contributed to organizing data on the sage’s legacy and finding all of the sage’s legacy in the Mage Tower.
“…Uh…”
However, she had only fallen asleep for a while due to the lack of caffeine. The library at late night when no one was there was chosen as a good place to fall asleep.
“…Ah…?!”
The reason she suddenly woke up was that a blonde man in front of her was smiling.
“…You look cute when you sleep. How are you?”
“Turn it off!”
She looked at the prince of the empire in front of her, wiping the drool from the corners of her mouth in a daze.
“Shh, be quiet in the library.”
Regulus pressed Ameri’s lips with her finger and threw a greasy comment.

More than that, Ameri was surprised that she fell asleep while preparing for her homework, and she was busy organizing her books, which she was hurriedly learning.
“…Sorry…Sorry! Prince!”
“Sorry is on my side. It appeared suddenly.”
Contrary to her sorry words, Regulus slowly opened the books Ameri was reading and began to check them.
“These are books where you can feel the knowledge of the sages. It’s to the point where I feel rewarded for what I said last time.”
“Ah…No. Just because of the graduation assignment…”
“You don’t have to be humble. Personally, I think you have the most complete knowledge of the wise.”
It’s a story that the sage himself and his direct successor would laugh at when they heard it, but in the eyes of the prince, it was Ameri who had a wealth of overall knowledge about the sage.
Leonardo also acknowledged that Ameri had the greatest respect and love for the sage, so it was not unreasonable for her to have such thoughts.
“…That’s too much praise… Oh… So…”
She was an American who couldn’t bear to say, ‘I’m worried about the stares around me, so please go.’
“Not too much. Because I personally think highly of you.”
What Regulus said was not a lie.
Even in the midst of the warriors who were with her, Ameri naturally brought out knowledge about various wise men, and at the same time, she possessed knowledge of magic and sorcery tools.
“To be in the 4th circle at that age is a skill that is rare even in the imperial family.”
It was also a word that subtly raised Regulus himself.
Because I reached the level of the 5th circle in my early twenties.
“No. Compared to Rios, it lacks a lot. That guy has already created a unique magic for the 6th circle.”
Ameri said these words without much intention. It was just humility to look elsewhere because Regulus was unnecessarily praising himself.
“Huh… I see.”
Regulus made a subtle expression after hearing that.
“Certainly there are many talented people in Reinhardt. Right now, there are three representative talents in the Magic Tower.”
The imperial family always felt sorry for that fact.
In Reinhardt, who inherited the blood of warriors, talent worthy of Ruben’s name appeared every generation.
Not to mention, outsiders like Leonardo who decided to remain in the family honor of Reinhardt also made a fortune.
The fact that the family of the hero Reinhardt could not be subjugated was a great resentment in the imperial family.
“So I think. It is my duty as the prince to select such beautiful and wonderful talents in advance.”
To Ameri, who was confused, Regulus smiled as masculine as possible and handed out two documents.
“This is…”
“I wanted to become a magic tool technical advisor to the imperial family. If it were you, he was sure he had enough skills.”
“…But…”
Among the papers pushed out of Regulus’ hand, they were not ordinary documents. In terms of size, it was close to a small note.
“…Are these tickets for the festival? Two of them…”
“Anyway, the person who explained the route seems to be knowledgeable in geography, so I would like to ask you to explain geography during the festival as well. How is it?”
Ameri, who received the paperwork, pushed the ticket she was holding to the side with a not-so-welcome expression on her face.
“…That… Prince Regulus. I already bought my ticket…”
In that moment,
The siren sounds.
“…What is the situation?”
Bewildered by the sudden alarm, the prince looked around the library. Fortunately, there were no people inside the library other than Ameri and Regulus.
“…Well, usually this kind of alarm goes off when something stored in the Mage Tower is stolen…!”
Soon after, there was a series of explosions, people screaming, and then.
“Avoid!!”
“uuu!!”
Pajjak
As Ameri hurriedly pushed, the monster broke through her door and rolled helplessly across the floor.
“…What is that…”
The prince hurriedly synthesized lightning magic and fired it. If it was a human, it might have adjusted its firepower a little, but its appearance was a monster no matter where you looked.
“…Ugh…”
“…What is this…”
Looking at the fallen monster, Regulus trembled with a bewildered expression.
Although he is a 5th circle mage, he had no choice but to panic in a sudden crisis.
“…Outside right now…!”
There were no windows in the library, but the situation outside could be judged by an alarm.
“…Run away. Ameri! This seat is…”
The moment I was about to run, a woman walked from the entrance of the library.
“Are you okay? Prince?”
A woman with red hair and wearing a red robe.
“Red Pagoda Master…!”
It was Jane Narsha, the owner of the red tower.
“I heard the sound of an explosion, so I went to this place…”
The lord of the red pagoda approached the prince with a cheerful voice as usual.
“Good luck meeting you! In a car without an escort…!”
The words were soon cut off.
“…Over there, Red Pagoda Lord.”
Ameri slipped away from the owner of the red pagoda with a puzzled look on her face.
“…I’m sorry, but how did the Red Pagoda know that the prince was here?”
Perhaps Ameri didn’t expect to ask a question.
“…Ah, that’s it, I heard the explosion and came to check…”
“…Then it makes sense to escape the other students first. Besides, the red tower must be at a distance from here…”
Ameri’s guess was cold-blooded and, moreover, accurate.
I didn’t expect Ameri to show such observational powers in a situation where it is easy to fall into a panic like this.
“…Hmm… Miss Ameri.”
I could feel the heat in the hands of the owner of the red pagoda.
“You have a keen eye for useless things like this.”
A flame bullet fired simultaneously with a short venom.
“…aaah..!!”
Ameri screamed in surprise, but fortunately the magic tool she was carrying had already been activated.
With a roar, flashes of light are scattered.
“…Oops…”
What remains in the eyes of the Red Tower owner is not the two people who fainted from the explosion and shock,
“…I never thought I would use this map this way.”
A burnt piece of the teleportation map that Ameri made herself, which she highly rated, remained.
