Chapter 76
I threw a kind of irrational argument that they would attack in broad daylight, but Mithra did not respond.
He just looked at me with curious eyes.
It seemed as though he was confident in setting things right no matter how the course of the mission went wrong.
‘That’s not really reckless. Regardless of the day or night, the battle takes place.’
It would take several days to remove the Mage Tower’s elaborate alert magic, even with abilities higher than mine.
Of course, I had to forcefully open it and enter, but then the resident personnel had no choice but to wake up.
Eventually chaos will begin, and wizards will pour out.
It would be much faster to conduct a raid during the daytime when security is open.
“Immediately launch a disruptive operation. We won’t come forward until the fifth stage opens.”
“All right.”
“If you die in battle, the family will take good care of you. So don’t worry.”
“Yes? I am a warrior?”
“No, that could be the case. I’m just saying take care of yourself if something happens.”
“…”
The sabotage team’s escape route had already been prepared.
Since you decided to help the retreat from the Assassin’s Branch in the Principality of Caliburn, getting out shouldn’t be too difficult.
‘The question is, is there a Grand Magia in the research center… … .’
In addition, the location of the tower was also important.
However, he had been seen at the Caliburn Branch and the Discreet Guild, but he could not be found.
It was because he was a person who flashed in the east and in the west.
It was a move worthy of the leader of the Mage Tower, which is characterized by fantasy magic.
‘I can’t delay the operation though.’
Besides this, it’s because I have another mission.
I chinned straight to the special assassins of the central branch.
Finally, the operation to rob the gray magic tower was about to begin.
* * *
“The 2nd floor troops subdued!”
“The 3rd floor barrier is being created.”
“Enforced breaking the barrier!”
Kwakwang!
The moment the 3rd level security of the Mage Tower was destroyed, the central branch’s leaders stepped forward.
They pushed their bodies into the barrier in an instant, and a carnage was staged from the inside.
After destroying several magic circles during the close battle, the path to the top of the mage tower was opened.
‘It’s going well so far.’
He turned his head and met Mitra’s eyes.
She seemed to be thinking the same way as me, so she was joking around a little.
Now it was his turn to rampage properly in the plate the assassins had laid out.
Puff!
“Open the 4th floor barrier!”
“Inject!”
Shh shh!
Mithra and I jumped up to the top of the mage tower as if we were competing.
From stage 5, we had to break through with our own strength.
Perhaps one of the two would fall into the other side, not the Towerism Institute.
It was obvious that whoever got the Grand Magia first would get a lot of results.
Perhaps the results were going to be different depending on what the 5th level security was like.
Tadat! chuck.
Eventually, we arrived at what appeared to be the entrance to the laboratory.
Two thick doors blocked my way, and I naturally grabbed the doorknob on the left.
Because it was right in front of me.
Then Mitra nodded and put her hand on the right doorknob.
I don’t know where it’s real, but one thing is certain.
If you don’t know a special passage way, you have to turn two doorknobs at the same time to open it.
There was no hesitation because this was the information I had already grasped.
“Goes.”
“yes.”
Clap! Clap! Bun – jump!
When I opened the door, a very bright light burst from inside.
I raised my tension while entrusting myself to the strong suction power.
Since I couldn’t see properly, I was trying to notice the danger with my other senses.
Fortunately, there seemed to be no immediate threat.
‘Here… … .’
As the dazzling halo of light gradually diminished, he was able to check the situation ahead.
Fortunately, the place I entered was the wizard’s laboratory.
Apparently, it was Mitra who was wandering inside the barrier and fighting the 5th level security magic.
But I couldn’t be careless.
‘It is a laboratory of towerism. It’s quite possible that there’s a magical device that I don’t know about.’
The magic of the Riverrun family was always a secondary existence for the completion of martial arts.
Therefore, there was not much information about the high-level boundary or the extreme relationship.
It is only known that it is similar to the state of extreme secrecy mentioned in Landsvalger.
‘Extreme connection. A level where you can create new specialized magic.’
Illusion magic could also be said to be a by-product of the level achieved by previous Mage Tower owners.
Of course, it was not known whether the current Hoetapju had newly reached the extreme end.
That’s why he’s a mysterious person, and the gray mage tower is a bit of a secret group.
‘To the extent that rumors circulate that he is conducting bizarre human experiments with his back hole.’
He looked around with his mana raised, but there was nothing special.
There were only traces of the experiment quite a long time ago, and the tower pillar was also nowhere to be seen.
The mission would end as soon as he went to Grand Magia.
I walked around the lab with the utmost caution.
The inside of the building was very spacious, as it was a place only used by the mage tower master.
‘I heard that it is located in a corner of the laboratory.’
That was the end of the information obtained from the Assassins.
It’s a story that it’s being managed secretly, so there’s no need to be impatient just because it’s out of sight.
But that was just then.
“uh?”
Isn’t there a large staff in the showcase on the wall?
‘No, leave this important thing out in the open?’
As a sacred object of the magic tower that uses fantasy magic, Grand Magia was decorated with various jewels.
Looking at the strangely reflected light, each one seemed unusual.
As if possessed by something, I took out a staff member from the display case.
rattle!
“What? It couldn’t be this easy?”
The alarm bell kept ringing in my head, but my body was moving naturally.
It was as if he had become the owner of this laboratory.
‘Wait a minute, the owner?’
However, there was a word that suddenly flashed in my mind.
Wasn’t the image of her walking with the Grand Magia on her side suddenly reflected in the mirror?
At that very moment, I felt a shudder run through my body.
‘fantasy… … . It is the appearance of the tower. I’m unconsciously copying his usual behavior.’
What would happen if I just let my body do what it does?
He would fall into the trap set up in the lab unconditionally.
But you can’t get caught in such shallow water.
I immediately stopped and looked down at the drooping Grand Magia.
I guess this is the cause… … .
The question was how to break this damn illusion.
The technologies that affect human cognitive abilities are diverse.
‘Landsvalger’s variant is Jamsul or Baek Yeongdun.’
If you expand the realm to magic, there will be countless similar techniques.
It wasn’t that difficult to break those secrets.
That is if you keep your mind straight.
Swoop! chuck.
With the Grand Magia on my shoulder, I moved in front of the ingredient display case.
‘A high-quality magic crystal cube. It was processed with great care. This is enough.’
Whoa!
I immediately swung the staff of the Tower Master at the Magic Stone Cube.
If objects with strong energy collided, one of them would surely be destroyed.
In the current situation, the possibility of the magic crystal cube exploding was extremely high.
But no such misfortune happened.
pop.
Didn’t the Grand Magia, which had been falling at a tremendous speed, stop as if it was blocked by something in the middle?
Clink! Wow Jangchang!
Before long, the space around him shattered like glass.
However, the place where I was standing did not change or change.
It was just noise as the illusion magic in the laboratory was broken.
“Huh? To break that, you’re quite advanced. An interesting guy came in.”

Just at that moment, an old voice came from behind.
It was very surprising that he hadn’t sensed his presence despite coming so close.
Because my senses were so sharp.
When I turned my head slightly, an old man in a neat gray robe caught my eye.
Gray hair, slightly red face, blue eyes.
The appearance was ordinary, but the atmosphere it gave off was definitely not.
‘As expected, this was fake.’
The opponent pointed to the same type of staff as me.
Perhaps that was the real Grand Magia.
“Are you the tower owner?”
I asked a question with a casual expression.
Then, the old man in the gray robe let out a surprisingly lighthearted laugh and nodded at the staff.
Poof!
“Heh heh! What a spoiled little guy. He’s messing around in someone else’s laboratory.”
At the same time, the magic crystal cube in front of me flew through the air and returned to the tower’s arms.
He turned away as if he had no interest in me.
And then, wouldn’t it stir up the Grand Magia loudly?
“Let’s die lonely in the illusion of eternity. It’s troublesome to clean up the corpse, so take care of yourself.”
Before long, the new type of him completely disappeared.
chuck! chuck! chuck!
As soon as he finished his words, the sound of footsteps at a steady pace came from somewhere.
All sorts of scenes, one after the other, were so fast that it was almost mind-boggling.
‘What?’
Sensing someone’s presence, I turned my head away, and a familiar face suddenly appeared.
A mother who welcomed me with an infinitely benevolent face, a solemn father, and a playful younger brother.
The vision seen in the Tower of Esmaranta appeared as it was.
Sureureung!
They all had their swords drawn and were smiling broadly.
Her mouth drew a smile, but her eyes looked straight at me as if to kill.
Soon after, the voice of the tower owner hit my ears.
“If you didn’t climb Esmaranta’s Tower, you will never be able to break the illusion of eternity. Accept death calmly.”
that buck! that buck!
At the same time, the family members drew their swords as they approached one step at a time.
It was a spur-of-the-moment situation, but I just laughed dejectedly.
‘under… … . I thought it was something great, but this is it again?’
I completely ignored my family’s attacks and stormed into the empty space.
“I’m the one who came after destroying all of that, you bastard.”
