Magic Tower-6
“OMG…!”
With a loud noise, Leonardo woke up from a coffin made of books.
[Are you awake? I’ll wake up soon.]
＜I’ve been attacked by this kind of attack a lot. I have developed tolerance, and I have created a law of destruction.＞
Even when dealing with a dreamer, dealing with a warlock, and even being given hallucinogens and sleeping pills, Leo created various methods of destruction, including resistance.
In addition to the method written in the dream, there were three or four more methods left. However, all of these methods were highly risky, so I only refrained from doing so.
[It’s still a shock, but I thought I could survive for at least 5 minutes.]
Generally speaking, as the sage said, it was a test that took more than 5 minutes.
In the dream, he had completely forgotten the existence of the sage, and even the memory of the test was removed.
Even Leonardo would not have been able to get out of his dream if he hadn’t even had the experience of returning.
＜Because it’s been a while. Others than that?＞
The wise man looked at the others lying around him.
[I’m still sleeping, but if even one person succeeds, everyone will wake up, so don’t worry. Take care of things better than that.]
Leonardo looked around and found the reward of the test.
＜But where is the legacy…＞
[What are you talking about while already holding your hand?]
At that, Leonardo looked at his hand. In his hand was a necklace connected by silver chains. The gem in the center looked like the iris of an eye because of the black mass in the center.
[Originally, if you clear it, give it directly to your hand. I’m afraid I’ll lose it.]
Why was such needlessly careful consideration not shown in the first test, which is probably a difficult question that will not be revealed even after several centuries of research.
“…uh…uh…?”
Ameri rose from the coffin in a zombie-like posture. Whether the treatment had not yet been effective, the pain of bone disease was clearly visible from the body.
[Unfortunately, it’s not undead, is it?]
＜As long as you are a graduate student, you are no longer human.＞
And when you graduate, you become an Overmind. As long as you graduate anyway.
“uh…?! Did you succeed?!”
Rubbing her pale dark circles, she looked at the necklace Leo was holding.
“Yes, I was lucky.”
“It’s… ‘True and Facts’!”
I already knew that. ‘Cause I know you’ve been looking for it
-Track of truth and facts-
If you wear that collar, you can destroy the lies you are dealing with. It was a useful tool to detect low-level hallucinations, illusions, and disguise, so Leonardo also prioritized this magic tool.
“Where shall we try it?”
“Would it be okay…? Just like this ring…”
Ameri said, raising the ring that was interfering with her relationship.
“It will be fine. It seems to be different from that.”
[…In the first place, it is not a cursed magic tool.]
The plain clothes and ring of peace made by the sage were not tools to be worn forever like cursed items.
However, one of the healing functions was only manifested in an extreme manner.
[If you’re not addicted to drugs, that ring is missing. I’m just adding a feature that is fixed until it gets better just in case.]
＜Comparing with the lack of sleep that graduate students take, discs in each joint, dry eye syndrome, and caffeine poisoning, it will be boiling. That person may be extreme.＞
It will take at least a year for them all to heal. It is a prerequisite to lead a healthy life while wearing it.
“…How is it? Does something work?”
“Wait.”
Leonardo put the neck ornament well around his neck and first looked at the user, the wise man.
＜Where…＞
[Oh, by the way, that doesn’t work for me.]
＜Ah…＞
The most important reason is gone. I wanted to hit the ground in disappointment, but I couldn’t, and the test subject decided to try it on someone else.
“Mr. Ameri.”
“yes?”
“How are you now? Are you okay?”
[I am not good at asking such a question because it is ambiguous. If it’s false, a red light comes out of the necklace, but it’s vague to say that it’s okay…]
As the sage pointed out, Leo also thought that his question was wrong, but it was something he didn’t know, so he just wanted to ask it at least once.
“yes I’m okay.”

Jiying
Suddenly, a red light scatters from the necklace in various angles. Even compared to the light of a flame or the sun in the sky, it was a flash that would not be pushed back at all.
[…Uh…It doesn’t work well in the first place… Besides, this kind of light isn’t quite a lie…]
＜Did you give me the ring well?＞
The sage nodded his head as he looked at the pitiful slave of the tower.
“Hey… is this really like this?”
“I guess. The response is certain.”
“…then I’m glad…”
Ameri looked at Ariaspil with questionable concern.
“Miss Ariaspil keeps waking up. There was such a strong light before…”
As he said, Ariaspil was still asleep, not moving.
＜What? Why don’t you wake up?＞
[It’s strange. In the beginning, at the latest, get up now. As long as you aren’t obsessed with your dreams… hey… no way…]
How was the backstory ominous?
＜…Isn’t that supposed to be it?＞
[Um… I’m sorry… I think that’s right.]
Ameri grabs Ariaspil and shakes it, but the girl only smiles and does not wake up.
“…What should I do? Wake up harder…?”
[That’s not allowed. If I force myself to wake up, it will adversely affect my mind and I am not sure if I will wake up.]
Hearing that, Leo quickly shook his head and pulled Ameri away from Arya.
＜Why did you make something so dangerous?＞
[Don’t say anything to me. I also made a safety device.]
Surprisingly, the wise man’s words were not lies.
If you fail or someone else succeeds first, a huge gate pops out in your dream.
Since it was plainly written, ‘Come out now that the test is over.’
Ameri had also escaped in that way.
＜But why doesn’t Arya appear?＞
[So I said. Because I’m obsessed with my dreams!]
＜What kind of fool is Arya? Dreams and reality cannot be compared.＞
Unfortunately, the reality was literally a gutter.
＜…Then what should I do? Can’t we just wait?＞
[If you’re lucky, that’ll fix it, but… it’s hard to expect. Rather, there is a possibility that I will be more immersed in my dreams.]
Leonardo agreed. As Leo often suffered from nightmares and hallucinations, it was understandable advice.
＜…then there is no way to wake it up?＞
[There is, but… it’s more difficult than I thought. If you do, you won’t be fine… Are you okay?]
＜It doesn’t matter. It’s more dangerous to leave it that way.＞
Then the wise man pretended not to win and nodded his head.
[…that’s it… are you okay? As you’ve seen before, I can’t help you in this dream. I set it like that…]
＜I have to do it anyway. There is resistance to this kind of magic.＞
Leonardo made up his mind and called Ameri.
“Ameri, I have a favor to ask you.”
***
“…Jeong… can I really do this?”
He asked worriedly, putting his hands on Leo’s and Arya’s.
“Yeah, telepathic magic can connect you to psychic… unconscious dreams.”
The 4th circle magic, telepathy, is mainly used for information transmission and communication magic.
However, as the sage advises, if you tweak the magic a little, you will be able to approach the unconscious dream.
“Certainly, it would be possible to change things like this… but Leonardo-kun could be dangerous. Besides, I’m not good at telepathy, so…”
“it’s okay. Because I will do it anyway.”
“Ha…but…”
Ameri couldn’t help but hesitate. He had a lot of guilt and had a mild personality, so it was difficult for him to take up such a burdensome position willingly.
“I’m sorry for making such a request.”
Leonardo bowed to Ameri and said,
“But please. You can’t lose Arya again in this way.”
Was that just his responsibility as an exclusive knight, or was it the mistake of the second-in-command who followed her, or was it just the boy’s sin of not seeing the girl die?
But one thing was certain.
“I know. I will try too.”
Ameri also recalled her will and spread the magic circle in both hands. Slowly tuning the double cast of telepathy, she said.
“I will start. Please be successful.”
When the magic formula was finished, Leonardo’s eyes closed.
…
……
………….
The sound of a chirping mountain bird rang out.
Naturally, Leo’s closed eyes gradually trembled and opened.
“…here…?”
It seemed successful. Contrary to the remark that he was not confident, his telepathy coordination was pretty neat, so even his memories before connecting remained intact.
“…Now… Arya…”
Kahn!!
The moment I was looking for it, a shocking sound rang out. Judging from the sound, the sound waves that the swords collide with were the same as the sound made when he and Arya were fighting a gladiator.
“…no way…”
Leo hurriedly ran to the scene of the duel where the sword strike was ringing.
Kahn!!
“Oh!”
Two black-and-white knights were standing in the place where the sword strikes were fought. To gain the upper hand was beyond Leonardo’s expectations.
“what’s the matter? I don’t have any back pain!!”
It was Leo himself who put a harsh attack on the series.
It was Aria who had a hard time stopping it.
“…Now… Stop… I don’t…”
Although he currently had the power to defeat Arya, he could not overwhelm him to that extent.
It wasn’t just a word, it was a sincerity based on reality.
‘…why…why are you… being pushed…?’
I couldn’t understand. She was always stubborn and arrogant.
Arya was such an existence to herself, and because of that existence, she was able to come this far.
Kahn!!
“Ugh…!”
At that moment, Arya’s sword bounced up into the air.
When I saw that scene, there was one thing that came to mind for Leonardo as well.
‘…just like me…’
It was similar to when he was attacked by the Mongma.
Instead of a sweet nightmare, it showed a desperate nightmare.
That side had a strong immersion, the evil demon noticed.
That people fall deeper into despair than hope.
‘…it’s because I won…’
The dream that Leonardo had was a series of nightmares of being defeated by Arya and unnatural, but the pain deeply cut by despair made him forget that it was even a dream.
If he hadn’t committed suicide, his escape would have been impossible forever.
That sense of inferiority was an emotion that was easy to stimulate and amplify.
‘Because I won the duel back then…’
Ariaspil must have firmly believed that he was a genius. That was also true, and practically, I lived like that in my previous life.
‘But… not now. Now is…’
He shattered that belief and self-esteem.

Just because you want to win.
Aside from Arya’s personality, that would have been a catalyst for creating a sense of inferiority.
Because it was a humiliating stimulus that he had never felt for a genius who had never been defeated.
‘…I… was the cause…’
I felt nauseated for not noticing this kind of heart.
I thought I knew this psychology better than anyone else… I didn’t notice that the person who was next to me the most…
“…it’s not too late yet. Even now…!”

Just as Leo was about to jump, another Leonardo put a knife to her neck.
“Did I win?”
“Yeah… I lost…”
A humiliating sense of defeat, the psychology deeply melted in her expression.
“then…”
Suddenly, the fake Leo threw his sword.
‘…what…? Why all of a sudden..?’
Then the fake Leo grabbed her hands.
“Wait… what are you doing… Leo…! Whoa…!”
He laid her down like a beast, grabbed her hands and pressed her to bind Arya’s body. Then he put her body between her waist and lower body, making it increasingly difficult to get out.
“Re…! Leo…! this…! this…! what…!”
“why? do not want to do it?”
I didn’t want to imagine what I didn’t want to do. It shouldn’t have been that much.
“…si…the thing I don’t like… it’s not… this is what it is… that… dating… is… first… huh…!”
The fake started to wake up the girl’s senses by gently biting Arya’s neck. The sensation of his hot tongue whenever he spoke was too stimulating for an innocent girl.
“The choice is only with the winner. babe.”
“…Now… Baby…?! Ha… well…!”
Arya gradually fell under the false beast as it was and began to strip away the hidden instincts one by one.
‘Fuck… crazy…’
That was the real feeling of seeing this reversal.
This is weird
