141 – To the Magic Tower
“We must recapture the Magic Tower!”
“That’s right!”
“That’s right!”
A death squad was established in a dormitory on the site of the Magic Tower. All wizards living in the Magic Tower dormitory. The composition is diverse, from young apprentice wizards to old elders.
Among them was Austin, the Chief of Staff of the Eastern Front. Austin is currently staying at the Magic Tower dormitory.
“I don’t know who terrorized the Magic Tower, but you were caught.”
Austin clasped his hands together and made a crunching sound. After Evan defeated the dragons, Austin had more free time. Enough for him to vacate the Eastern Front. While I’m staying in the Magic Tower dormitory for a long time, I have to take care of the people who terrorized the Magic Tower.
An old elder opened his mouth.
“I can sense unclean magic in the Magic Tower. I am suspicious that it may be the work of the State of Heresy. “Does anyone know about purification magic?”
“I know.”

Austin raised his hand, and the other old wizards also raised their hands.
“Okay. Let’s have those who know purification magic take the lead, and the rest assist behind the scenes. “How do you feel?”
“Okay, do it!”
“Build up other operations as you go!
The wizards gathered in the dormitory yard each raised their wands.
They were people who were confident in their magic skills. So they were not afraid to approach the magic tower. They also thought that the unclean magic power of the Magic Tower was the work of the heresy.
This is because they were wizards unrelated to the project 『The Second Coming of God』.
Pot!
Evan used teleportation with Maya.
The dark site of the Magic Tower appeared. Even though it was soon morning, it was dark here. This is because of the unclean magical powers that hang like clouds in the sky.
‘This is not the Witch King’s prime.’
If you really want to be specific, is it similar to or slightly lower than Mushmahhe, which was for first elders? The scale of magical power is not that large. In his past life, when Evan faced the Witch King, the Witch King turned the entire area into hell.
Right now, it was just a night where it was difficult to breathe, but it wasn’t hell.
‘Shall we subdue?’
Evan was worried. First of all, I came here just to gauge the level of the Witch King. It may be better to nip it in the bud before it gets stronger. The Witch King will become as strong as he was in his prime.
-Sabu.
Maya carefully placed her hand on Evan’s left arm.
-What should Maya do?
Evan felt an explanation was needed. He never explained witches to Maya. Evan summarized it simply.
“These are harmful things that use unclean magical power. If you see it, just kill it.”
A good witch is a dead witch. This was Evan’s long-standing theory.
Maya didn’t quite understand Master’s words, but she didn’t have any big questions. It would be roughly similar to the apostles of the heresy. Maya nodded his head.
Evan reached into his inner pocket and fiddled with Cornelia’s badge. If they ask about Evan’s identity, you have to show them. He brought it just in case.
‘Hmm.’
Evan breathed in the acrid air. His throat is sore. The Witch King’s unique magical power.
Evan walked down the main street of the Magic Tower site, pushing away the Witch King’s magic with his own magic. The site of Magic Tower is a kind of planned city, with buildings in an orderly manner and roads being easy. In my previous life, I came to a completely collapsed magic tower, but this was my first time seeing a magic tower that was still intact.
Wizards are busy running around. Some recognized Evan and bowed.
“Sir Evan…… ! I’m so happy to see you here!! “I am Rugran, who served as a battle wizard in the Eastern Empire Army!”
It turned out that he was a retired Eastern Empire Army wizard. The wizard who saw Evan catch the elder dragon Mushumahé, who introduced himself as Rugran, seemed to see hope.
“If Lord Evan has come, the problem at the Magic Tower will soon be solved!”
“Wait a minute, let me correct you. “I came to see the state of the Magic Tower.”
Evan corrected Rugran’s illusion. He has not yet decided whether he will defeat the Witch King. Shouldn’t we check the Witch King’s condition first?
“What happened to the Magic Tower?”
Evan asked Rugran. At first glance, the Magic Tower had been taken over by the Witch King, but I wanted to know how far the wizards had figured it out.
Rugran looked pained.
“I don’t know. The main gate of the Magic Tower is closed due to unclean magic…… ! I have no idea about the internal situation of the Magic Tower. Elders and old wizards who were out on the road are returning. “You will be inside soon.”
“Who are you, the 1st princess?”
Grand Mage and First Princess Aria Innin Ishtar.
1St Princess Aria and the Magic Tower are so close that the Magic Tower can actually be considered a sub-organization of the 1st Princess.
“Not yet…… “I just went up by reporting.”
“I guess I haven’t gotten the answer yet.”
“Yes, I guess this kind of thing has happened a lot so far… Ha, it must be a terrorist attack from the heresy country, right?”
Rugran believes that it is the Heresy that has taken control of the Magic Tower.
It is not a wrong guess. Because people of this era don’t know witches. When it comes to unclean magical power, there is only heresy now. Witches are people created by the Witch King Machia in the future.
‘The Magic Tower will suffer greatly.’
If your preparedness is like this, you will be helpless against the Witch King. Because the empire doesn’t even know about the existence of witches. Project ‘The Second Coming of God’ was a study shared only with a few elders of the Magic Tower. Most wizards don’t know.
Many people are suffering because of a few elders of the Magic Tower. Evan sighed.
‘Huh… ‘I can’t help it.’
The only person who can do it is Evan.
Think of it as a practical experience. I’ve been acting very passively recently to take care of my family.
※
Huge black magic power clustered like a honeycomb on the top floor of the Magic Tower. The old wizards using flying magic covered their mouths and tried to approach, but a huge black hand came out from the wall of the upper level of the magic tower and grabbed the old wizards.
“Where!!”
Paaa!
Light flashing in the black hand. The old wizards created purification magic to resist unclean magic.
Kwasik!
The moment the hands closed, the bodies of the old wizards were crushed. It is the ‘hand of curse’ symbolized by the Witch King.
The wizards gathered around the magic tower like a swarm of bees looked perplexed. Aren’t the level of intruders stronger than you think?
As Evan got closer to the magic tower, they looked like moths to fire.
‘Purification magic does not work on the Witch King.’
No faithful priest in the empire could survive one day in front of the Witch King. Because the Witch King was designed by God from the beginning.
Evan recalled his past life.
It was a time when the entire empire was filled with witches. Has some time passed since I descended the mountain? Evan killed the witches who bothered him. He needed to evaporate all the witches around him so he could take a nap.
At first, it was to test the sword honed in the mountains. Witches are that strong, so I decided to test it out. Evan was confident.
‘There was no end.’
After Evan came down the mountain, the witches bothered her all the time. So much so that she can’t even get a moment’s rest.
-…… Grandpa, I love your neck… Can I break it?
-If I fall asleep like this…… I’ll make sure it doesn’t happen forever.
The witches’ whispers echoed terribly in Evan’s head.
Evan was annoyed. Weak things are good at annoying people. At one point, Evan just saw a witch, and she got rid of it. She was nothing more than a noisy fly buzzing around the witch to Evan.
The survivors followed Evan. Because I was safe around Evan. This is because even when the witch approached, Evan got rid of it. Evan found the survivors annoying, but they didn’t act like witches, so he ignored them.
A little more time passes.
Many refugees followed Evan. Although it wasn’t Evan’s specific intention, Evan’s status changed just by getting rid of her witches.
Witch Slayer, Dawn, Last Knight of the Empire and… A ‘savior’ who will lead refugees to a land without witches.
Evan was already being called a ‘savior.’
‘…… It was a useless lie.’
Evan didn’t like his own title. He said he just came down the mountain to test his sword skills. He was not a grand figure enough to be called a ‘savior.’
Evan felt uncomfortable. Now I remember her blurry memories.
‘Savior! Thanks to my savior, I survived today, hehehe. Thank you!’
An unnamed refugee boy.
Even though pus was dripping down his face due to unclean magic, the boy smiled brightly and was grateful to Evan. Evan didn’t just hate the boy who took up his time. I felt proud that what Evan did was helpful to someone.
A corner of my heart was filled.
The next day.
The boy was dead, his face melting away. The witches were flocking to the boy like crows, giggling. Evan felt sad.
The witches present were swept away by the white light and disappeared. There was an emptiness in Evan’s chest, as if there was a big hole.
As time passed and the dark curse lifted slightly from the sky.
‘Savior! ‘I dug up some potatoes, try them.’
‘Surprisingly, the field was alive! ‘My family won’t starve today, hahahaha!’
Refugees laughed even at small things. And he didn’t forget to thank Evan. Now he couldn’t even remember his face, only his feeble voice echoed in Evan’s head.
An old man who gave himself potatoes with dirt-covered hands. Those wrinkled hands felt so warm…….
The old man died after suffering from a curse on a potato. Evan’s heart broke. Evan decided to kill the Witch King.
A lot has happened since then…….
Evan gave up his thoughts.
‘…… Now it’s a meaningless memory.’
All he has to do is kill witches. He just repeats what he did in his previous life.
The top floor of the Magic Tower.
The Witch King sitting on the magic tower’s chair sensed Evan’s magical power.
‘You’re here as expected.’
I feel a mixture of regret, joy, sadness, and anger. A strange feeling tightened his chest. The Witch King swallowed a heated sigh.
