223 – 213. Our Mage Tower is open-2
The Mage Master noticed the current situation and fled.
This meant that I no longer had to hide my existence tightly.
Undead, who were under strict restrictions on secrecy from the Mage Tower master during his lifetime, were gathered and all were unlocked.
With their mouths free, they revealed information about the owner of the mage tower, and I realized how trash he was.
I am well aware of his abnormal sexual desires, so even if I say he goes over it, the evil deeds he has committed have gone too far.
To give benefits only to wizards belonging to the Mage Tower, they monopolized magic tool materials, and manipulated market prices through hoarding over dozens of times.
There have been hundreds of people who have attempted suicide as a result.
However, the owner of the Magic Tower committed an even more evil act without feeling the slightest sense of guilt.
Secretly kidnapped promising swordsmen and swordsmen and used them as test subjects for his own magic development.
The bereaved families of the missing subjects were tricked and used as manpower for the revival of the Mage Tower.
The demon king had a cause, but the owner of the demon tower was just a human.
I shook my head after hearing about the evil deeds that were not covered in the novel.
“And I know the location of the artificial demon sword.”
“The story in more detail.”
“After the Mage Tower fire incident, others expected that the magic sword would be enshrined in the underground storage, but the owner of the Mage Tower had the opposite idea and secretly kept the demon sword in the secret room on the top floor of the Mage Tower.”
“But how do you know that?”
“One day when I went to the Mage Tower Master for a work report, I happened to witness the Mage Tower Master holding a demonic sword pass through the wall and enter the secret room.”
“Who knows about that?”
“There will be no one but me. The Magic Tower Master is famous for not sharing important secrets with anyone else. Therefore, it is highly likely that the location of the demonic sword was also thoroughly concealed.”
It was a story that made sense if you recall the personality of the mage lord.
He created the position of 4 elders to delegate tasks to them when he was away.
In addition to that, 6 archmages were placed and the power of the 4 elders was adjusted so that they did not grow.
However, they did not create any means to control the power of the Mage Master.
He said that his own unique authority should not be shaken.
‘There’s no way that old man could trust anyone else.’
It’s to the extent that he casts restriction magic on his entourage mages.
I recalled the image of him being wary of me until the end even though he invited me to his room before.
He must have prepared for it because he thought that I might suddenly try to assassinate him.
There was nothing wrong with his actions, but he felt like he was living a very tiring life.
“Thanks for the good information. Write down the location of the secret room and send it to me.”
“Okay.”
After finishing their report, the undead left the room all at once.
I leaned against the back of my chair and exhaled deeply.
The Mage Tower is currently in a state of sit-in.
I was enduring the advance of the elves, relying on the protective shield that encompassed the entire Mage Tower.
The Redscale tribe has ended its value as an organ that eliminates mages in the forefront.
The report is yet to come, but they seem to be handling it just as well as I asked Rene and Rin.
‘Tomorrow must be the end of the Mage Tower.’
Large-scale magic nullification artifact, Eye of Predation rolled here and there and then put it into subspace.
The start of the operation agreed with the elves in advance is tomorrow.
Thus, today will be the last day I can be active in the Magic Tower.
[Isn’t the magic tower still left?]
‘You sent chaos, I ordered Shoggers to secretly follow you, so there should be no problem.’
Those two were somewhat insecure, but they were outstanding subordinates as much as their abilities.
I couldn’t imagine the development of them attacking and being reversed.
It reminded me of the appearance of chaos that would return sooner or later with the scruff of the wizard’s head in its mouth.
‘So we have to do our job.’
[You’re going to steal the magic sword that the owner of the Magic Tower made, right?]
‘Correct answer.’
My goal in infiltrating the Mage Tower was the fall of the Mage Tower, recapture of Hades’ crystal ball, and absorption of the artificial sword.
The fall of the Mage Tower is proceeding smoothly.
Hades himself said he would retrieve the crystal ball and left.
All that remains is to absorb the magic sword.
It was time to plunder the achievements of the Mage Master.
“Let’s go see what the new magic sword’s ability is!”
***
The top floor of the Magic Tower.
I stepped into a space where only the owner of the Magic Tower and his aides are allowed.
The master ran away, and his men are under my control.
Since it was an area where anyone could enter and exit freely, I walked through the hallway confidently.
“Did I say this?”
“A little further to the right than that.”
“Oh!”
He repeatedly groped the ordinary wall with his hand, and at the end of the action, he touched a device that went deep into the wall.
Then the wall on the right side disappeared as if it never existed, and an entrance leading to a dark space was created.
I knew at once that it was a secret room, as I had been reported, and I moved forward with Prach.
A one-way passage with no traps at all.
A faint light was emanating from the end of the passage.
“Arrival.”
After passing through the long passage and arriving at the new space, a showcase made of glass greeted us.
Inside it was an expensive-looking golden sword.
“That’s the demonic sword… ?”
“Although the color is definitely different from the existing demonic swords, that sword is also unmistakably a demonic sword. I can feel the deep malice inside the sword.”
“Evil?”
“Yes, it is the same malice as an unbearable desire to cut something right now.”
From noble mtl dot com
Duck-! Less-!
The sword inside the glass began to tremble as soon as the words were finished.
I went crazy thinking that it wouldn’t be a normal sword like the magic sword made by the master of the magic tower.
The moment I was in a hurry to return Frach to the sword.
“Wait a minute!”
“Why is that?”
“That sword seems to have the same ability as this body.”
“There is no way they have exactly the same ability. What ability are you talking about?”
“Polymorph.”
I decided to observe the situation a bit more after Frach raised his hand to restrain him.
Soon after, the showcase broke and shards of glass flew everywhere.
The protective shield bounced off all the sharp fragments, but the scene that unfolded afterwards was more important.
A blonde girl slowly steps forward, stepping on the scattering pieces of glass.
In the place where the demonic sword had been, a girl wearing full body tights and a loose white outerwear was seated.
In her empty blue eyes, the images of Prach and I were being captured.
“The magic sword…. Master of the Demon Sword…. Test…… ?”
The girl started muttering with an expressionless expression and even a dry voice, glaring at us.
It was a bonus that the corners of her eyes were gradually sharpening as hostility was revealed.
“The prosecutor… ….”
A soft girl’s voice.
A sharp dagger was hidden behind it.
“Kill… !”
“Prach!”
“Even this body knows!”
Chaeeng-!
The girl, without a moment’s warning, she lunged at me and threw her fist at me.
Quickly returning Frach to her sword, she blocked the girl’s blow.
The fact that the girl’s true identity was a demonic sword touched me greatly in the fact that the sound of her sword clashing with her bare fist was quite different.
I didn’t know that she had suddenly launched an ambush, though.
“The prosecutor… …. Kill all… !”
“A sword to kill a swordsman is a novelty, isn’t it?”
[Are you serious?]
“Of course, it’s Gouraji!”
Just as a swordsman needs a sword, a sword must have a sword to create value.
However, it was the first time the sword tried to kill the swordsman directly, not by casting a curse.
“Awesome! Master of the Magic Tower!”
You made a very powerful sword.
The behavior of the artificial magic sword must have been set by the owner of the magic tower.
There is no swordsman who does not covet the golden sword, and if you approach it carelessly like that, you will be killed by the sword.
The intention to use the swordsman’s exclusive property as a trap to kill them was clearly visible.
[Looks like I’ll have to neutralize it to fully absorb that demon sword.]
“No, even if I neutralize it, I won’t absorb that demonic sword for a while.”
[Why?]
“Because if you absorb it for nothing, your thoughts may change.”
[…] … It’s definitely possible. Then what do you plan to do?]
“If you have a wrong idea by the owner of the tower, you have to change it.”
This is a crazy world where you have to love your sword to become a sword master.
Then isn’t it normal to love a kendo swordsman?
Like the relationship between me and Prach.
“But, as you said before, we will have to neutralize it once.”
[After all, a fight is unavoidable.]
“Aren’t you nervous about being against a new demonic sword?”
[Whooping! Don’t worry, I’m going to take care of you thoroughly as a senior.]
“You look dependable.”
I pushed the blonde girl who was still competing for strength and pushed her away.
As I held my posture straight without the slightest distraction, I held onto Frach tightly.
“Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill… !”
“It’s bloody enough to give you goosebumps.”
I will show the demonic sword girl that there are different levels of demonic swords.
And…….
[…] … Contractor, I’m just asking because I’m curious, but why are you inflating your groin?]
“It’s rude to think of educating that spoiled swordsman, but I ended up giving up.”
But I think the holy sword is the best way to discipline an immature demonic sword.
