Chapter 78
Blinking my eyes, I put my hand inside the black dragon’s armor.
Then, a black bead popped out of nowhere and went round and round.
While staring blankly at the marbles and gray energy floating in the air, a thought ran through my head.
“This is… that marble at that time?”
A globe the size of an egg held by the corpse of King Dongpae.
I was carrying it because I thought it might be something great.
‘But suddenly, you pull out the energy of Grand Magia and eat it? What is this?’
I waited patiently for the strange phenomenon to end with an absurd expression.
Before long, the orb had something like a gray phantom inside it, and then it landed in my hand.
“Has it gotten smaller for some reason?”
I was able to confirm that the size of the marbles had shrunk considerably.
I tossed it lightly and received it, and it seemed that the weight had also become lighter.
But other than that, I couldn’t find anything special.
I tried injecting mana into it, but it didn’t work at all.
‘What should I say about this… … .’
It seems that in-depth research is necessary, but unfortunately I was not a real wizard.

Just a kind of ‘magic user’.
“Someday the opportunity will come. Should I rob the King of Dongpae’s burial goods to get information?”
There was a high probability that Marquis Pennant had important data such as ancient documents.
I’m not a person with enough money to sell even those things, and I hate Sophia, my only daughter.
In case there was magic-related data, he would have held onto it.
‘It’s a question of how many times I’ll go to the East in the next few years.’
It would be impossible while I was a Benderford endowment entrant.
After taking the marble that turned gray, I picked up the Grand Magia and tried to pick it up.
But, it was just that moment.
Quaching-!
Through the entrance to the laboratory, someone noisily appeared.
The person who rolled on the floor and raised the dagger was Mitra, whom he had parted with at the entrance.
“…”
“…”
We looked at each other awkwardly for a moment.
It was because the moment she picked up the Grand Magia, she jumped out, so both of them were awkward.
Embarrassed, I shrugged my shoulders and looked away.
With the corpse of an egged-up tower owner.
“Are you done?”
“Yes, I was lucky. He was very confident in his illusion magic.”
“I see. Anyway, I think we’d better get out soon.”
“Of course. I’m done with my work anyway.”
“Hmm… I’m saying that the situation is serious enough that we need to move right away.”
“What do you say so calmly when you’re in a hurry?”
“This is just my way of saying it. Real danger is imminent.”
I let out a small laugh at Mitra’s machine-like answer.
No matter how much I thought about it, it didn’t feel urgent.
But it didn’t take long to confirm that what she said was true.
Kuhwaaan-! Kwakwawang!
With a tremendous explosion, the walls of the laboratory began to explode.
Looking through the hole, the members of the Tower filled with rage were throwing magic.
It seemed that he didn’t care at all whether the mage tower collapsed or not.
“Wow… it was a really serious situation.”
“You just said that.”
I looked at Mitra, who was still blunt, with a puzzled look.
But that didn’t change her attitude.
“You should have done it right with all your heart! Run!”
Tadada dat! bang!
Sensing a crisis, I suddenly jumped, and soon after, a red fireball exploded on the laboratory floor.
‘Wow! Those guys are really pissed off.’
It wasn’t enough that I had invaded the master’s laboratory, and I even had a sacred object from the tower in my hands.
Their anger was a very natural reaction.
It’s like having an heirloom stolen.
“There are agents downstairs who haven’t escaped yet. We have to go with them.”
Mithra ran down the stairs, mentioning the assassins who had been put into the sabotage operation.
“They didn’t stand out, what did they do?”
“When I checked when I was bouncing from the entrance, the resistance was stronger than I thought. There were a lot of troops in the tower.”
“Ah! You filial piety bastards! They’re not doing anything right.”
I thought that I should start with the wrong information organization that I will meet when I become a family head.
I’m just writing a long order.
After leaping up and down the stairs step by step, I quickly turned.
Then, I thrust the black dragon sword into the back of the guy in front of me.
Pooh-!
It was truly a cancer practice that was forged to the extreme.
No sound of destruction was heard, but the tower wizard’s neck flew through the air.
As if a defensive magic was working, a blue light came from the robe and the surrounding sphere.
However, Landsvalger’s rising killing method “assassinated” all of them.
“Hmm.”
Mithra, who was following me, let out a low moan.
It was probably a reaction that came out because he couldn’t have done better than this even if he spread it out.
‘I wonder what it would be like to find out that this isn’t everything.’
I swooped down on the back of the group of tower wizards with a smile on my face.
Mithra also turned to the other side and secured a retreat for the disruptive team.
“Gee, it’s support!”
“Run this way!”
Even in the rain of magic, the Disruption Team seemed to have found us.
In fact, I couldn’t see it.
It was because the formations of the Tower Wizards were being smashed.
But their escape wasn’t as easy as they thought.
Whoops! Kuhwaaang!
“Hup!”
“Heuk!”

Just as they were about to join, there was a huge explosion with a tremendous energy response from the side.
For a moment, even Mitra and I were unbalanced and staggered.
‘With this kind of power, the Mage Tower itself wouldn’t be able to withstand it?’
Since I was well versed in magic, my prediction came true.
Sure enough, the ceiling and walls that could not withstand the intense impact began to collapse.
Koo-goo-goo-goo!
“Where are you going to run away with the sacred object of the tower?”
The one who appeared yelling at us was an old man with a large staff.

Judging from the atmosphere and the vivid life, it seemed that a person of considerable skill in the tower had appeared.
“It’s Halken, the subtab master. The situation has gotten really tricky.”
Then Mithra frowned and murmured softly.
It seemed that he was not supposed to be here.
“Do you know his name?”
“Isn’t that obvious? It’s all written in the appendix of the directive.”
“Because I didn’t read that. After all, you have to fight to escape, right?”
“There is also a way to throw them away like this.”
“Oh! That’s a good idea, but you wouldn’t.”
“…”
The first quality you need to have in order to rise to the position of acting head of household is transcendent military power.
Of course, individual performance was important, but it was a secondary factor.
If I ignored them in this situation, I could have made it anyway.
However, the stigma of abandoning a colleague because of one’s own weakness will follow him for the rest of his life.
Mitra looked at me with dry eyes.
It seemed to mean that since you are the leader, you should judge yourself.
‘of course… … .’
First of all, my goal was to act as the head of household, so there was no option in the first place.
And besides, putting a disgrace on someone like that?
“Did you turn? Let’s do something like that.”
Holding the Black Dragon Sword, I strode forward.
‘Ahh! Is it finally time to reveal the true face of this body?’
It would be rare for an assassin to fight and defeat a wizard in such an exposed place.
In the end, it is said that the stronger one wins, but it is true that the compatibility is bad.
Because magic can see through stealth.
However, I am a different being from a normal assassin.
‘Besides, since I woke up to Mahon, I don’t have to worry about Riverrun’s secret technique being discovered.’
Whoops!
The wizards in the tower frowned at the sword that burst from the black dragon sword.
It was because when the assassin’s weapon resonated deeply, he felt a considerable sense of alienation.
“What are you doing! Don’t be crushed by his momentum, step on him!”
“Yes!”
Tsutsutsutsutsu!
At the same time as Halken, the sub-tab master, called out, the tower’s specialized magic was deployed.
Visions accompanied by all kinds of auditory hallucinations, such as the face of a demon and the pleading of a crying girl, haunted me constantly.
However, I have a track record of conquering not only the lord of the tower, but also the tower of Esmaranta.
There was no way he could fall for such a trick.
“Your patterns have already been read.”
The wizards of the Tower had one habit.
Once the illusion was thrown, the target’s vision was disturbed, and the attack magic was attempted after that.
Then the hit rate would go up to 90% or more.
However, in other words, it was said that they were using their vain efforts to create disturbances.
“If you beat me now, you will be beaten unconditionally!”
I had an attack method that could be used when a large number of opponents were in close proximity.
It was Dancheonpokryun, the second herbivore of Dancheonmaryeon Sword.
The gray orb fired without a sound caused an explosion in close proximity of the enemies.
Toow-!
Only a weak puncture sound filled the hall, but the result was truly murderous.
Because the fragments of the aura scattered in all directions were tearing everything they touched.
More and more!
“Kwaaak!”
“Ahh!”
Perhaps because of the dense defense magic, there were not many actual deaths.
However, due to the powerful energy wave, the tower wizards were thrown out of the building.
So, with a single shot, the enemy on the first floor of the building was cleared away.
“uh?”
However, contrary to the sweet result, I was hesitant.
It was because I noticed the feeling of uneasiness.

Just then, the Disruption Team, isolated in a corner, rushed up the stairs.
“Ohhh! You’ve come to save us!”
“Go, thanks. Captain!”
“If you return safely, I will serve you wholeheartedly. Keuheuk!”
The assassins of the central branch thanked me with thrilled faces.
In the cold world of the Assassins, this was rare.
In fact, it is safe to say that it was an act that would not even be attempted unless it was a direct descendant.
But I couldn’t afford to accept their moist feelings.
“run!”
“Yes?”
“There’s no soup here!”
Tadada dat!
As I frantically ran toward the stairs, Mitra and the Disruption Team tilted their heads.
Didn’t he just wipe out all the wizards in the tower by demonstrating great insolence?
There seemed to be no need to rush to the point of making a fuss.
But they had no choice but to run down the stairs with me.
Deed Deed Deed!
“Muh, it’s collapsing!”
It was because the mage tower began to collapse accompanied by a tremendous vibration.
“You should have told me earlier!”
“I told you. There’s no soup! I can’t take responsibility even if I die, so just run!”
“No, didn’t you say you’d take care of your family?”
I responded with an absurd expression to the cry of a first-class assassin.
“You never said you were family?”
“Yes?
“Look at that. I’ve never done it. But the family will hold a memorial service.”
“…”
I shrugged at the speechless guy.
Then Mitra closed her eyes and shook her head.
It seemed that I looked pathetic for bullying my juniors.
‘I can tell you a joke. You’re very serious.’
It was a bit uneasy, but anyway, the grand operation to rob the tower ended successfully.
