Welcome to the Magic Tower

29 – Conflict

The blue sky.

Ashen smoke rises sparsely.

Sword Saint Marco looked at it and estimated how many seconds he had passed out.

I don’t think that much time has passed, but the reason I fainted in the first place was absurd. Marco blinked blankly, blinking his eyes.

“…… You are a monster.”

It wasn’t a direct hit. He only tried to reduce his power by intervening in the middle of the slash…….

He almost had to leave this world for nothing.

Marco jumped up from his seat and shook his head. His whole body was covered in dust from lying on the rubble of a building.

So he lightly robbed his clothes as well…… ,

…… Just rolled up Come to think of it, I’ll ask again soon.

Marco raised his head. The sky is always blue.

Although it was an artificial sun and sky, it was a pretty nice view.

And today, a large scar appeared in a straight line there.

“Did you call this kind of heaven?”

Marco scratched his head.

I thought he had reached the realm of a sword, enough to be called a swordsman, but he wasn’t at all.

The world was wide, and there were quite a few crazy strong guys.

Moreover, the enemy I have to fight this time is probably a blood lion.

Besides being an apostle, he is at least one of the strongest in the world.

…… So Marco felt a sense of ecstasy.

Death is definitely a scary thing.

But isn’t it a great joy for a warrior to meet an opponent that he can fight against with all his might?

So Marco ran towards the entrance of the castle gate with a rather happy expression.

He thought, moving his feet quickly. Today, he said he would jump over a big wall.

I never thought I would die. Because you won’t die

I wanted to believe that.

The one chosen by the gods.

Apostle (使徒) roughly implies three meanings.

First,

You can mentally connect and communicate with God.

Second,

You receive power and blessings by offering sacrifices to gods or proving your qualifications.

And the third——.

Yhanna lowered her stance. At the same time, I put strength on the lower body.

I took the posture of pushing one foot backward and springing forward.

Quad Deuk Deuk──. The step foot dug deep into the stone floor.

And…… ,

Quaaa!!! It exploded like a cannonball.

She flew through the sky. She forcibly tore through the walls of air and quickly passed through the crumbling gates.

I swung the ax around and removed the stone fragments.

After flying like that for a while, if it seems that her speed will slow down a little, she puts magic power in her feet and stomps-! She kicked the air again and added momentum.

Kurrureureung——! It wasn’t until long after she passed her gate that the corpses of the guards who had been cut down and the gate collapsed to the ground…….

[ ‘Destiny’ is active. ]

Yuhanna ran only looking at the resistance in the front. Outside, she couldn’t feel any remnants of magic or the thread of fate, but once she entered this place, she could clearly tell.

There is Lee Jin-woo, whom I have missed so much…… !

And the couple who kidnapped him are sitting together.

The thread connected to them is a little bit, but it made it possible to determine the condition.

‘…… It looks like the attack took quite a bit of damage, but it seems that life is not affected?’

He thought he could definitely kill him.

Yuhanna felt sorry for not being able to decapitate him, but she changed her mind and said it was fortunate.

Yeah, he can’t be killed easily. I must have him tell me to kill him with my mouth.

By the time she made up her mind, her magical energy flowed at numerous points in front of her.

Yeah, I didn’t even expect that it would end with one big blow.

Roaring—! Suddenly, a huge meteorite appeared in the sky.

It’s only one lump, but it’s bigger than most mountains.

Aside from that, it caught her eyes that various magics were manifesting in small ways.

Kwagwagwagwang──! Eventually, the countless magic flies towards only one person.

T-ring—!

[ Increases the output of ‘Destiny’ to 3 levels. ]

Yoohanna suddenly thought that they were cute. No, she was so funny that she thought she wanted to kill her.

She activated her ability while watching the meteor fly right in front of her nose.

“Inevitability. It will surely happen.”

Yuhanna spoke lightly and then swung her ax quite blandly.

It was as if the power was not being applied properly.

However, the result is not at all bland.

Suddenly—. A huge meteorite cuts in half very cleanly.

Whether it’s the fire attribute. Number of properties. Elemental magic. Whether it’s a curse or something, all magic disintegrates in an instant, and it collapses in the middle.

Passisissic——And then, as the fire and water magic disintegrated unintentionally, they collided together and created a large amount of steam.

For a very brief moment, the view was blocked.

Yuhanna was not at all vigilant.

Support Support ─. Because I could feel the strong vibration of the thread very clearly.

She swung her ax a full circle in the direction she had swung it.

Quaaa! A sword and an ax that secretly protruded from the smoke collided.

The shockwave generated blows each other’s hair.

Catch up Geek—! The blades collided, creating sparks and noise.

Yuhanna looked at the face of the stupid man who dared to engage in close combat.

Marco smiled very calmly, although his hands were very numb from the shock.

And then, she thought, sweating inside.

──It’s f*cking strong…….

* * *

Doo-wook-tuk-tuk-…

Because he couldn’t completely seal the wound, blood leaked out between his fingers.

Drip drips of blood fall to the floor.

Xiaofang stumbled along the hallway wall. And, each time, a bright red handprint appeared on the wall one by one.

She tried to hold back her wounds on her shoulders and suddenly got brain-snapped.

“…… It’s been a crazy year.”

Oh my God, what kind of debilitating curse was put into that mad blow?

A phoenix feather or whatever means of regeneration could be tolerated.

…… Still, what is it that I lived in the end?

‘I saved my friend too.’

She told the attendant to take her to Beecher and even hung up a long-lasting barrier. Even if the roof collapses and lands on you, you won’t die.

Well, thanks to that, her remaining magical energy ran out, so it was all messy.

…… Still, she had one option left.

Sigh ─ Xiao Fang propped herself up on one side of the door and managed to pull the other door open.

She barely stumbled over and lifted her wooden box from her desk.

Then, she opened it.

Then I saw a top-notch relic, a spirit jade, emitting a green glow.

“…… Ah, not worth wasting in a place like this.”

To her, this spirit prison is more valuable than Skidbladnir.

It can accommodate 10,000 people, and it is a ruin that conceals a place in another dimension, and it is one level higher than the best artifact.

Perhaps it might have been the right choice to throw away everything, whether it be ruins, colleagues, or wealth, and take only this.

With this, she was confident that one day she would be stronger than the blood lions who show superpowers beyond what was currently assumed.

…… However, running away was not to her liking.

Also, when all of my colleagues and subordinates die due to the mistake of following the careless leader, the dream place becomes ferocious.

Besides…… ,

‘Are they like dogs or slaves raised in the Mage Tower?’

‘It would be more correct to regard it as a personal possession of a blood lion rather than a mage tower?’

There must be a reason why Lee Jin-woo, who works so hard, hates going back to his place.

‘…… The blood lion’s personal slave.’

The reason can be found in the blood lion that was his master.

If he lets himself run away, Jinwoo Lee will eventually return to her clutches.

And he will surely live his life in great pain.

However, she knew very well that it would be foolish to invest opportunity cost for him who had only known him for a few days.

But…… ,

Xiao Fang knew she was such a fool, but she closed her eyes and muttered.

“…… Best friends never abandon friends.”

I got stained quite a bit for a few days.

She thought, rolling her artifact around in her own hands, grinning.

How to punish the evil spirits outside?

It was the start of a rather happy worry.
