Welcome to the Magic Tower

chapter 21



21 – You can do anything!

The sun shining down today is hot. There was no shade around, so it was completely heated. The sun was able to look directly at the earth.

And Yuhanna too.

“… ….”

She looked around her in vain with a white face.

Selberg’s Korean branch,

The village surrounding the magic tower was certainly not a bustling neighborhood, but it was not a deserted place either.

Then, what is the horror in front of you…….

Was the Mage Tower with its waist cut off and imitated it? Village buildings that have been burnt to ashes or crushed by stones… Traces of it.

The horrors of such a collapse came into view every time Yuhanna turned her head, and in the end, she could only see ruins without a single intact building.

“…… It’s Jinwoo.”

Yuhan-na repeated her childhood friend’s name as if in a frenzy, and moved her steps aimlessly. The way she stumbles makes her look uneasy.

Though the messenger thought so, he immediately followed her and recited the outline of her case.

Around 11 o’clock on April 30th. A high-ranking illusionist, fire-attribute mage, and swordsman’s villain organization broke the barrier and invaded.

Because there was an explosion in the central control room right before the invasion, it is certain that there was a spy inside the Mage Tower.

Immediately after the invasion, a barrier was opened immediately to prevent it from appearing in the civilian world, but most of the wizards who responded to the villain died. Among them, there is also a black class mage.

Still, thanks to their sacrifice, all non-power personnel and key materials were able to be moved to the shelter.

Except for one person.

Before I knew it, Yuhanna arrived at the site where her tavern, ‘Grand Bleu’, was located and didn’t hesitate.

The messenger approached in surprise when she saw it, but she soon realized that she was not what she thought.

…… Looking at her from the side, her face was full of miasma, and she didn’t think it would be strange if she killed someone right away.

The messenger reminded herself of the fact that the person in front of her was by no means a weak schoolgirl. Also the fact that she is a human weapon that preys on all sorts of monsters.

‘…… It’s here, it’s definitely here.’

The high-ranking wizard, anxiously searching for his childhood friend, raised his hand on the ground and measured it. Obviously, Lee Jin-woo was standing here.

And then it disappeared.

Without a trace.

It does not mean that it was physically crushed or magically disappeared without form.

I was kidnapped.

Without leaving any clues.

Abducted Lee Jin-wu by someone else, circumvented the tracking magic, and even completely covered up the traces of the remnants of magic that a wizard would have no choice but to shed little by little while kidnapping him.

At present, all Yuhanna could know was that he was alive with a faint thread of connection.

“…… Why?”

She murmured sadly.

Obviously, Lee Jin-woo occasionally cursed while playing the game, but that was only online.

He didn’t have the personality to be hated in real life. In the eyes of the villain, there was no way he looked particularly hateful.

Then why? Why is someone so powerful that he can destroy my magic… , Why is Jinwoo? Why on earth…… ?

Fast deuk. Yuhanna gnashed her teeth.

“…… I have to find it somehow, somehow.”

Even if Lee Jin-woo’s eyes were dug out and his arms were cut off, if only he could breathe.

As long as he’s alive, we can somehow bring him back to life.

It can be restored somehow.

…… Then he had to find one. Before Jinwoo Lee died, he had to find it somehow.

How?

All kinds of negative emotions such as anger, anxiety, fear, and sadness surged up in Yuhanna’s heart, but she only had one thing.

Although she was desperate, she focused her mind on a single, clear goal and thought coolly.

How much sacrifice would I have to make to get him back?

Also, how far can you bet for him?

Her conclusion soon came to a clear conclusion.

Everything.

If it was for him, I could have sacrificed my life, foundation, and even my love for Lee Jin-woo.

Yuhanna suddenly tilted her head and looked up at the peaceful sky.

“…… Didn’t I say there’s a guy who’s lost?”

“Yes, dispatched personnel are recovering the body and identifying the villain.”

“Give it to me.”

“…… Yes?”

She suddenly turned her head to her messenger and spoke softly.

“Take that bastard’s body right now.”

The messenger said what she heard herself. She was in a daze, then frightened, and she began sending calls to Branch 2.

Then, Yuhanna immediately drew a camp on her ground, preparing for the start of her magic. The ingredient was her blood, so she muttered with her face and hands blushing.

“…… I’ll save you soon, Jinwoo.”

If only Lee Jin-woo could be saved.

She could dig up tens of thousands of corpses and lay down her own life like straw.

I could really do anything.

* * *

A dark solitary cell.

I was lying on my face with my hands and feet tied, and the ground was cold and hard, making me feel like I was really locked in a prison.

“…… No, maybe even more dangerous?”

South Korea’s prisons, at least, don’t punish or torture prisoners.

But right now I’m in a situation where I don’t know when I’ll get screwed.

“Gee, f*ck.”

Why the hell did I end up in this situation? When I think of the reason, my teeth tremble.

The reason he was caught was simple.

It’s because I couldn’t bounce until the villainous kites who had been shooting and attacking Meteor came to me.

In that case.

Others did well, but why did I not stand out…….

■■■■■■■■■■■──────!!!!!!!

A meteor shower pouring from the sky like rain.

On the other hand, on the ground, the magic that intercepts it flies here and there.

It was a pretty ruinous visual for me, a civilian until recently.

It’s like an alien fight.

Watching it right beside me, I was just staring at it blankly, wondering if it was really f*cked up, but Irene shook her shoulder and shouted.

“Lee Jin-woo! We don’t care about anything, just splash! The emergency escape manual I read before! Remember?! Shelter! Branch 2! By scrolling! In shelter! It’s okay to meet you! Okay?!”

“…… Yes! Okay! I understand, so stop screaming!!!”

Even if it’s not, her ears are falling off because of the explosion that resonates everywhere, but Irene aims for her last hit.

Well, remembering that there was still a way to live gave me great hope. I thought I was really behind, huh? Was there a warp scroll for emergency escape?

“f*ck, that’s really nice.”

For the first time in my life, the day to thank the items of the Mage Tower has arrived.

Irene shouted for the last time.

“Meet me at the shelter!”

“Okay! Thank you!”

Irene nodded her head and tore the two scrolls on top of each other. She was even responsible for Shin Hye-young, who was being carried away.

Shurururung─ They disappear in an instant.

I looked at it and thought that I had to run away quickly before I was hit by a meteorite.

I have to go through several places to prevent the villains from recognizing the location of the 2nd branch.

“…… This is number 7, is this number 1?”

Thump thump! In the middle of falling meteorites, I got a sense of it and then I tore up the scroll!

GAZaaa!!! Doors everywhere!!!

T-ring—!

[ ‘Teleport’ failed due to the ‘superlative magic blockade’. ]

[ Please release the blockade to properly activate ‘Teleport’. ]

“… ….”

I was reading a system message that suddenly came to my mind when I touched the bomb necklace around my neck. FYI, the key was with Irene.

“…… f*ck.”

I muttered a swear word quietly, feeling miserable.

Damn it, it’s been remodeled.

After that, he was discovered and captured by the villain.

“aaa!!! Irene! What a dog! A damn black company! Carve the damn boss! If I meet you, I will definitely kill you!!!”

And, after being dragged somewhere, locked in solitary confinement, he curses his boss.

Those who always spit lines like this are third-rate villains, so they’re destined to be followed soon.

However, this was the only way to vent the anger that surged inside.

No, damn it. Does it make sense to forget the necklace that Ji put on, and to bounce off first? What does a person do

f*ck. Of course I forgot I was wearing a necklace, but damn! If you do, you will be held responsible!

Even though I was so angry, I suddenly felt fear.

To be honest, I was very anxious from a while ago.

I just barked like a frightened dog, trying to keep myself from feeling it as much as possible.

“…… Oh really. Shivaal.”

I really wanted to put my face in my hands and cry.

However, my hands and feet are tied, so I can’t even do that properly.

It is the shame of a man to shed pitiful tears. As a young kkondae, I suppressed the rising sadness as much as I could to avoid committing the shame.

So maybe this is really good.

Are you really behind?

If you’re going to search, I hope you don’t get tortured and go clean.

How many hours do you want to lean against the wall sniffing in such a stunned state?

Kikiiik─

The heavy iron door opened, and light entered the dark solitary cell.
