Magic Tower Master

The head of the Mage Tower that has jurisdiction over each field.

The highest level you can reach as a wizard.

The place where the pride of wizards is located.

“Explanation. Red tower owner.”

Being a blue pagoda lord in such a position, Blois could not understand the betrayal of his colleague, the red pagoda lord.

“…Why did you, the owner of the Mage Tower, do this?!”

Betrayal usually has a reason.

The bigger the group, the longer the soaking time.

The reason for the betrayal had to be large enough.

“Jane, do you know what you did now?”

As Spi Illinan, Jane and her friend, glared at her with her complex expression.

Although the color of her tower was different, she thought she was the same wizard.

“This will not end with just punishing you.”

Although the way to deal with magic is different, I thought that the weight of dealing with magic is the same.

“The students you follow will be punished as traitors together.”

There will be innocent people among them. Even so, they have no choice but to take joint responsibility.

“Because of you alone, the 300-year-old Red Tower itself could disappear altogether!”

The corruption of the Red Tower was a matter of a completely different weight than keeping other magic towers in check.

If the root of the enemy tower in charge of battle collapses, the balance of the magic tower will be disrupted.

The imperial family, as well as various organizations, will lose trust in the Mage Tower, and will buy distrust to such an extent that even maintaining the Mage Tower itself will be difficult.

“…Yes. I’ve asked you more than three times, so it’s polite to answer.”

A bored tone of voice, an attitude as if he’s answering because he’s tired of hearing the same question multiple times.

The owner of the red pagoda opened his mouth with an attitude as if he had no sense of guilt, let alone a sense of guilt.

“…Did you say the Magic Tower will perish?”

As if that level of truth was no big deal.

“What did that mean? There may be more in the future.”

The owner of the red pagoda was confident.

I said there might be, but there was certainty in her words.

“I just leave it to the one with the power and vision.”

That kind of explanation took too long for Rios, who was supported by Ameri.

‘…What is that…’

It’s like

‘…It’s like the future that my younger brother experienced…’

It was because it seemed like a remark that reminded her of what happened before her return.

“… Rios!! Hurry…!!”

But there was no time to dwell on the conversation. Ameri was running with Rios on her back to treat her.

Now, this building will disappear without a trace in the fierce battle between the 4 tower masters.

***

Contrary to what she mocked, the owner of the red pagoda realized that she had no chance of winning.

‘…This is the only preliminary copy left.’

There are three spare copies left.

No matter how much it is possible to duplicate the body and connect the soul with the technology acquired from the vampire,

Now there is only one in front of the other Mage Tower owners.

The body was completely slaughtered by the warriors Ariaspil and Leonardo.

Besides, the problem wasn’t just the fact that the body was dead.

‘…Leonardo, you deliberately removed only the heart.’

Choosing self-destruct was not simply an option to increase explosive power.

He chose the explosion of the body to cleanly remove his corpse.

The test item without mana used a safety measure to avoid making a second mistake.

And with Leonardo’s unexpected slaughter, that safety net was completely shattered.

‘…A clever bastard…’

If the corpse remained, of course there was a way to pursue him. The Black Pagoda Master and the White Pagoda Master are also suitable for this kind of pursuit.

Moreover, considering the fact that the entire Mage Tower was targeting him, it was only natural that he be constantly pursued.

Besides.

Quaaa…!

The great magic of wizards that looks like a disaster.

Terrain manipulation magic of the blue pagoda, the surrounding terrain is reconstructed as soon as it is touched, and the red pagoda is clamped down.

The support of spiritism used by the master of the white pagoda offset all the explosions of flame,

The shadow cloning technique used by the Black Tower master was casting and firing cannons in an instant.

The only reason the enemy tower lord could survive was because she was able to use magic that was generally advantageous to her battles.

Everything was lacking in numbers and capabilities.

Support was pouring in from the Mage Tower side, and if time was later, even the hero and Leonardo would come as support.

Defeat was only a matter of time.

[From the looks of it, it seems difficult.]

That voice didn’t come from the Mage Tower.

“…How…”

An underground air-raid shelter he created himself.

It was far from the base of the vampires as well as the magic tower, so it appeared in the place where it originally ‘stored’ its body.

Even though he couldn’t feel any of the various protective magic and traps working, he was calmly in front of her.

[Do you have time to be surprised?]

The being asked about her safety in a quiet, low voice.

While not even looking at the situation, that being understood the crisis.

Naturally, as if it were everywhere.

“…Ha… Ha…”

The owner of the tower had no choice but to express his astonishment with a sigh.

I definitely felt the same way when I met that being for the first time.

Emotions that you instinctively succumb to.

It was a pressure that was different from the pressure felt by royalty and aristocrats.

There was an incomprehensible force, a fear of the unknown.

But on the contrary, I felt pleasure from that being.

[If you need adequate strength.]

There was a dangerous sweetness.

What he said turned his knowledge into a mere piece of toilet paper.

What that existence needed wasn’t a ‘Red Tower Owner’, but a suitable person who would take care of the brain and equipment to understand its own knowledge.

The Red Tower is originally a magic tower that worships the power of magic.

Perhaps following the order of that being was because I was fascinated by its power.

[Do you know?]

She knew.

“…I will dedicate it.”

She gave her soul to the devil.

In return, an endlessly burning flame was lit.

***

It was the blue pagoda master who caught the overall flow of the battle.

He wasn’t as good as the lord of the red pagoda, but as far as combat magic was concerned, he had a lot of experience.

What’s more, I’m currently being assisted by two magic tower lords at the same time.

The white pagoda lord created the battle situation and overall buffs as spirit art, and the black pagoda lord made firearms with shadows to offset the firepower of the red pagoda lord.

“…It’s over.”

Quad Deuk Deuk…!

The rocks on the ground coiled around like snakes and bound the body of the owner of the red pagoda. He knew he had to be killed anyway, but he couldn’t be killed.

Roots were created in the body of the rock and dug into the body of the red pagoda. It was a measure to disrupt magic and mana in the body in case of self-destruction.

The Black Pagoda Master was waiting while saving mana. If the enemy tower owner had any additional support or means, he needed to deal with it with his own magic.

“…It’s over?”

The owner of the red pagoda, who was on the border between life and death, laughed as if he was full of energy.

“…It’s just the beginning.”

Purple flame covers her body.

“…Magi…!?”

The masters of the mage tower were at a loss.

She was still absorbing mana, and she didn’t feel any demonic energy until just now.

She was convinced that she deliberately refused to accept demonic energy to hide my connection, and in fact, she hadn’t used black magic even once in the current battle.

But what is that flame?

It was fundamentally and extremely different from the magic that the Red Tower Master had used so far.

The demonic smoke overflowing like poison confirmed that fact.

“…Do as much as you can…!!”

Cheongtapju, who could not see the struggle of the red pagoda pillar, increased the pressure of the rock. With a crackling sound, the rock tightens the body of the red pagoda.

Pukseok, flesh bursts and bones twist. The pressure to kill even a strong demon, not an ordinary human.

Roaring…!

But even with such a fatal wound, the flames are strong.

“…Jane…!! Really…!”

It was Baektapju who came next.

As a wind spirit, it created a vacuum by surrounding black flames. It had to be counterbalanced with a water spirit, and it had to be pushed back with firepower.

Even if the owner of the red pagoda did not die, neither life nor flame could be maintained in a vacuum.

Chiiik…

Even so, Hwama showed no signs of falling asleep.

Even in a vacuum, the flames continued to spread around.

“…The flames…!”

A spark that barely touched the collar spread into a large fire. No matter how much ice barrier magic was used, the purple fire showed no signs of fading.

At that risk, the owners of the Mage Tower had no choice but to fall into panic.

And embarrassment was at the root of the mistake.

Kooooo…!

The sound of the high-temperature heat moving, even though the body was being crushed by the rock, the heat showed no sign of diminishing.

The flame itself seemed to be fading through the cracks in the rocks, but the purple light was leaking through the cracks little by little.

The first to understand the phenomenon was the Black Pagoda Master.

“Down!! Width…!”

It’s already too late.

______

_________

A roar like lightning falling into a thundercloud.

An explosion bigger than a self-destruction burns.

The reason why the explosion didn’t blow away the whole mage tower was because the black pagoda master was prepared for a crisis.

The shadow of the projection itself formed a barrier and minimized the explosion range, so it could be prevented.

“Kellock…”

However, the magic pagoda lord, especially the black pagoda lord, who was at close range, was completely swallowed up by purple flames.

Because he concentrated on protecting other mage tower lords and the entire building, the black tower lord’s own body had no choice but to be incapacitated by the flames.

If that purple demonic flame had spread outside the Mage Tower, perhaps all the students in the Mage Tower would have been annihilated, so it was a choice with no regrets.

“…Kellock…”

Anyway, he was going to die.

The blood that flowed from the corners of his mouth was hemoptysis, not from an injury, but from a chronic chronic disease.

A problem caused by a weak constitution.

Life span was already reaching its limit. The only thing he was able to live up until now was being able to recover and prepare medicines with his ability and position as the owner of the mage tower.

With such a constitution, at the point of reaching this flame, his life was fulfilled here.

“…Black bat…”

Flickering in front of his eyes was the face of Leonardo with black hair and red eyes that looked just like him.

“Lord of the Black Tower…!”

Judging from the fact that the spear was stuck to the side, it seemed that he had recklessly moved by blinking on the javelin.

“…Do not come close. Leo…”

This flame is more like a curse than a phenomenon of ignition. If it even touches it, it will climb up and destroy the body like an infectious disease.

Realizing this fact, Leonardo’s face was stained with despair. Even anger shimmered in those red eyes, which was very moving.

“…I’m dying anyway. It is rather fortunate to be able to deliver a will at a time like this.”

Tears did not come out because of the dry eyes and the heat of the flames. But for some reason, the black pagoda owner had the illusion that tears were flowing.

“…Do you know? The pulpit next to me was when I first met you…”

When I first met him, I was interested in a boy who boldly gave a lecture at the pulpit of the Mage Tower.

He might have felt a sense of identity not only because he had hair and eyes similar to his own, but also when he saw the data, he started as an orphan like himself and tried to succeed on his own.

“…Not like this…!”

“…So much time has passed. I am truly grateful for the legacy of the sages you found. Thanks to you… I was able to fulfill my first wish as a wizard…”

As an orphan, he found his dream of becoming a wizard because he had heard the story of a sage since he was a child.

Where children of his age usually long for a hero, Bernan came to admire the wisdom of a wise man.

Perhaps, the reason why I was promoted to the title of Black Tower Master was because I truly believed in the legacy of the sage who was said to be hidden in the Magic Tower.

“…Sorry, I can’t talk for long…”

The smile that the Master of the Black Tower was wearing soon faded. It was time to go.

“…I will leave the succession of the Black Tower Lord to Ameri Esp. As you know… a capable student… the necessary education has been completed…”

Soon, the Master of the Black Tower closed his eyes.

“[You’ll regret it if you close your eyes?]”

It wasn’t Leonardo’s voice.

The old man’s voice, rather than gentle, was rather light-hearted.

“…Who are you… Who are you…”

When I opened my eyes, only Leonardo was not standing there. It wasn’t a person, but huge sword-shaped panels were floating in the air.

“[The Archmage who came to pay tribute to the person who fulfilled his mission as the owner of the Black Tower.]”

An old man’s voice echoed from the black panel. Eventually, the flying objects that crossed and flew like bees formed a magic circle.

“…The body…”

The purple flames that burned the black pagoda master’s body faded. When the heat disappeared, the clumsy eyes opened properly.

“…What the hell are you…”

The ghost of an old man shimmered through the panel. It may be a hallucination seen in near death, but Bernan knew who the old man was.

I couldn’t help but know who the wizard was.

“[He’s also an old man who came to discipline himself in the Magic Tower.]”

The wise man descended to the mage tower.

“…Lord of the Dark Tower, please hold on.”

Leonardo smiled and approached the black flame.

“I want the Lord of the Black Tower to come to my wedding.”

After Leonardo’s words, this time the light of the Holy Sword shone brightly in the air.

“…A…Wedding…!?”

“Looks like the treatment for the injured in the Mage Tower is over.”

Looking at his bride riding down the wyvern, Leonardo asked a question calmly.

“…Uh…?! Eileen assisted, so it was over quickly.”

“…Now, let’s go. Miss?”

Leonardo’s black longsword aimed at a huge fire, and Arya’s white holy swords also intersected and formed a pair to make the sword’s blade shine.

“…Ugh…! Hey, honey…”

The sage looked at the two of them and chewed a little inwardly.

“[Why are you guys clucking around when I should be cool?]”

Of course, no one answered.

Only the Black Tower Master was dumbfounded.
