209 – 200. Another world is spicy-3
“Did you hear that rumor?”
“What rumors?”
“Two days ago, I heard a scream that sounded like my vocal chords were torn from the master’s room.”
“That was declared a rumor.”
“There is a testimony that a servant who was cleaning the hallway accidentally heard the scream. Is it really a rumor?”
“Really! So, did the assassin break through the barrier of the Mage Tower?”
“I don’t know that much. Because they said there was no sign of an intruder anywhere. If there’s anything special, it’s that there was a guest personally invited by the Mage Tower lord that day?”
“So, isn’t that customer the culprit?”
“I can’t be certain because the customer said he left long before the screams burst out. Besides, the Mage Tower lord didn’t say anything, so the case is in a labyrinth.”
“I am very curious about what happened to the Lord of the Tower.”
Drreuk-!
I naturally listened to the conversation at the table next to me, and the chair pulled me to my feet.
“Here is the calculation.”
After finishing my simple meal, I came out of the restaurant and smiled contentedly..
I tried to go nearby to see what happened after that, but I didn’t have to.
Rumors about the Mage Master spread implicitly throughout Pale, and the acid slime operation made with Shogus’ cells must have worked.
Shoggers possesses an acid that has the power to melt all the monsters in the deep sea dungeon.
There was a high possibility that the main part of the mage column was also melted.
Remembering that his groin was a medium for magical manifestation, the injury to his groin was fatal.
Maybe he’ll never be able to use magic again…….
Even if he could write, his power must have been weakened.
[Are you going to make the elves attack the Mage Tower now?]
‘It’s not yet time. Although the rise of the tower master is a loss of power, the tower’s status is still alive. If we start a fight now, the damage on our side will inevitably be considerable.’
Especially, the Mage Tower was specialized in defense rather than attack.
If you don’t do something right from the dome-shaped barrier that covers the entire village right now, not even a single ant can enter, let alone an elf.
Even if the master of the mage is absent, the statue that spreads the barrier is fully operational.
‘While the Mage Tower Master is recuperating, I must thoroughly destroy the inside.”
Most of the eyes in the tower are focused on the safety of the owner of the tower.
When the wizards’ attention is focused elsewhere, you must make the most of the opportunity.
[So what are you planning to do next? Are you planning to release the barrier right away?]
‘No, the area around the barrier statue is strictly guarded, making it difficult to penetrate. Especially now that the master of the mage is injured, security will be strengthened even more. The magicians of the Mage Tower know that barriers are the most important. “
People considered an intruder from the inside as there were rumors that the tower was injured by someone.
Assuming there is an enemy inside, the first place to protect is the barrier.
Thus, destroying the barrier statue with my own hands should be seen as a last resort.
[Then is there any other good way?]
‘Have you ever heard of EMP?’
[EMP? It’s a word I’ve never heard of.]
‘Of course. It’s not in this world, it’s only in the world I lived in.’
In a world with magic instead of science, there could be no electromagnetic pulse.
If you knew about the electromagnetic pulse in a place where there were no plausible electronic devices, the historical research of another world would have been ruined.
[You mean you can remotely cancel the barrier with that EMP?]
‘It’s not like that. Even if I use EMP, the magic tower will do damage, but it must be at the level of one mana.’
[Why did you mention something like that?]
‘It’s not an EMP, but it has a similar wavelength that spreads in all directions and nullifies all magic.’
[Hmm? I’ve never heard of this body before?]
‘Because I’ve never experienced it and it’s unknown.’
Another world version of EMP (ElectroMagnetic Pulse) DMP (Dispel Magic Pulse).
A year and a half later, Kang Jun-hyeok and his party, who had difficulties in attacking the Devil’s Castle, found the answer in the treasure house of the fallen Magic Tower.
Among the legacy of the first Mage Master, there was an artifact that emitted DMP.
However, because the use was not disclosed to future generations, only dust was accumulating in the treasure house.
‘No one knows except me. Who would have thought that an artifact that would cause the destruction of the Mage Tower would be in their warehouse?’
[I wonder why the first Mage Tower owner had such an item.]
‘That part I don’t know. It’s just that the hypothesis that he had it to become the strongest wizard is strong. It could have been used before fighting other competing mages, and it’s a theory that someone else had it to prevent mishaps from using DMP on themselves.’
[Can’t we just destroy it?]
‘It was indestructible back then. Because it was an ancient artifact. You know that nothing but Orichalcum can destroy an ancient artifact, right?’
However, there was no way to purify Orichalcon at that time.
Secret storage was the only option.
Now there is a way to do it, but the first owner of the mage tower left the world with only the danger factor left.
“So there is only one thing I have to do today.”
Returning to my private room in the research institute, I immediately opened the closet.
I picked up the black mask that was lying in the corner and put it on my head.
I looked forward through the hole and exhaled.
[So you’re going to commit robbery again…….]
“It was half a joke at the academy before, but this time it’s different.”
I tied a leather pouch to my belt and put a rope with a hook at the end into the pocket.
I tore off a few leaves of Calkes by the window and ground them into fine powder.
After mixing the ground powder with water, I spread it evenly over my body.
Calkes is a plant that only grows in the elven forest, and its leaves have an excellent deodorizing effect.
Especially for bad breath, I saw a lot of elves chewing it.
As it is easy to erase traces, it is planned to go through deodorization frequently during work.
“This is the end of preparation.”
Tonight, we’re going to show you what stealth action is all about.
***
Tadak-! Tadak-!
The sound of burning torches late at night.
Three guards stood side by side in the long hallway leading to the treasure room.
Three people, with Frieden as their boss, who valued iron rules, were passing their time idly without talking.
The former guards, who had been conversing to relieve boredom, were caught in the act by Frieden, fired and fined exorbitantly.
Since that incident occurred, the guards guarding the treasury have not been able to open their mouths in the slightest.
‘Ah, I’m going crazy from boredom!.’
‘It would have been nice if I could have practiced magic at a time like this… ….’
‘How long until the next shift? I want to go back quickly and have a beer and rest.’
They couldn’t say anything, but they were expressing their dissatisfaction and wishes to their heart’s content.
Hopefully this damn vigilante mission is over.
It was a time when the guards’ concentration began to hit rock bottom as time passed.
“Hmm?”
Teeing-!
There was the sound of something snapping and a coin rolling and spinning beside them.
As the spirits of the guards who had been out halfway came back all at once, they took a vigilant posture.
Because an unknown intruder might come at any moment.
“Gold coins?”
“Gold coins? It’s not something that suits us.”
“It might be a new weapon. I’ll take a look and come back, so you guys stay far away first.”
“That sucks. I can clearly see that your eyes are gone because you want the gold coins right now.”
“Ugh! It’s not like that!”
The atmosphere at the scene became lively due to a gold coin that came out of nowhere.
It wasn’t long before they began to deal with the protruding gold coins cautiously, as always.
The guard who said he would look ahead carefully approached the gold coin.
The moment he touched the gold coin, he put a protective shield on himself thinking that something might come out.
Having perfected a countermeasure, he closed his eyes tightly and quickly picked up the gold coin.
However, nothing happened and it was revealed that the rumor that gold coins were a new type of weapon was nothing but a lie.
“Ha ha ha! What? It was nothing but gold coins! Look at this… Omg!”
As soon as they turned their backs while holding the gold coins, the guards were frightened by the sight that unfolded.
I was so shocked that his throat choked up and he couldn’t even breathe properly.

My colleagues collapsed in that fleeting moment that hadn’t even passed 10 seconds.
That’s also a monstrous figure.
“I have to tell you this… !”
“Be quiet.”
“Kuhup?!”
Someone’s hand from behind closed the mouth of the last guard.
Shortly after that, something cold squeezed through the guard’s body, and a chilling voice rang in his ears.
“Don’t worry, you won’t remember anything after you wake up….”
Drowsiness set in.
My eyelids felt heavy and began to close.
I noticed that what was injected into my body was sleeping poison, but it was too late.
After all, he, like his other colleagues, forgot something precious.
Like that, even the last remaining guard lay down unconscious.
“…… The first gateway, clear.”
[Contractor.]
“Why?”
[This body raises the question, ‘Did I have to go this far?’]
“What is the problem?”
[I am referring to the tool you just used.]
“This is because you make it impossible to use a dagger.”
[Hmm, no matter how you do it, putting sleeping poison on a dildo and stabbing your butt is like harsh treatment.]
“What is harsh treatment? It’s easy to think of it as a job transfer from an ordinary wizard to a warlock. Besides, the buttocks absorb the drug’s effects quickly. There is such a thing as a suppository in the world, right?”
It was a statement that would not be lacking even if the warlocks of the world cursed him.
Bern was optimized for a different world that had gone mad before anyone knew it.
What a horrifying way to put them to sleep
