by fnovelpiaMagic Tower Branch.
Hotel of the Knights of Venus.
“Really… It’s true.”
Rauf muttered in surprise.
Before the sun rises. A group of Ronica was seen coming out of the underground and returning to the Magic Tower.
Among them, only Ronica was missing.
“I will go and find out.”
Accordingly, a member of the Knights of Venus was dispatched.
He immediately caught up with a group of Ronikas without Ronica and asked them what was going on.
But the answer that came back was… .
“The wizard gave me a tour of the secret laboratory, so I went there briefly.”
“After all, it’s a magic tower. It was amazing.”
It was just a tour.
There was no other disturbance.
“Then where is Ronica?”
“Ronika said she was interested in magic, so we decided to look around a little more. The wizard seemed to have talent and willingly gave permission.”
“I’m so envious~ If you become good at using magic, I won’t even dare to catch up with you.”
“As expected, Ronica! I want to be like that too.”
“So I plan to stay longer.”
There was nothing particularly strange about the children’s reactions. I just took a look at the wizard’s secret laboratory, discovered Ronika’s talent, and took some time to do it.
“I never thought it would really come to this… .”
“Look. Am I right?”
Everything was as Isabelle had predicted.
The promise that everyone except Ronika would get out safely before morning became a reality.
“Then… Is it true that my daughter is safe?”
“For now. You’ll be trapped underneath. but… If we go to save them now, we will all be killed together. Will you believe my prophecy now?”
“Then should I wait for Dirus?”
“That’s right. When Mr. Hwansu returns, he will summon Ronica and take her out later.”
“You’re taking it out? Then there is no need to get it?”
“We should do something else instead.”
“Something else?”
“Actually, the situation is the worst. It’s so crazy that I want to deny this prophecy.”
“… What is the future you see?”
Isabelle knows.
How hopeless the future you see is.
She wondered whether she should speak or not, and slowly opened her mouth.
“… … … In the future I saw, there was a high probability that both Mr. Hwansu and Ronica would die.”
“… What does that mean?”
“I can’t hold out until that being comes.”
“It exists?”
“Mr. Skull’s wife?”
“… … Is Zane coming to help?”
“I don’t know who he is. However, some powerful being may come to help later. The problem is that we were all already dead by then. It’s a bad ending. If so… Edeline is completely destroyed.”
“… Then, I will call Zane right now.”
“It’s no use. If he gets involved, the future will become very difficult. There would be no time to worry about this place in the first place. Maybe.”
“… … Still, I will try to contact you.”
“Either way~”
Rauf briefly sent a message.
I am not in a position or position to ask for help, but I cannot hesitate if it involves my daughter. It’s shameless, but I have to ask Zane for help… .
Tiring~
◎︎ A message from Zane has arrived.
[Hold on for three days. I can’t move because I’m facing the king of Asgard.]
… … My eyes hardened.
One of the strongest forces.
Asgard.
I am meeting Odin, the king of that place.
Meeting Odin has a high probability of breaking the agreement between them.
Watcher of the world.
Guardian of order.
Guardian god of the River Styx and promise.
Odin.
The lord of the castle can never be treated carelessly. In other words, Zane is also in a difficult situation.
“Look at this. Am I right?”
“… … … In the end, should we solve it among ourselves?”
“There is no choice but to do it.”
A despairing declaration.
Diman and Rauf were not discouraged.
Because I remembered Isabelle’s words earlier.
He immediately asked, his eyes lighting up.
“… You said you would tell me what to do. There must be a way, right?”
“Maybe… Yes.”
“What is that?”
“When night comes again, the red moon will appear.”
“Red Moon?”
“Then we have to attack here. There is something I must do.”
“… More detailed explanation is needed.”
“Before that, let me ask you something.”
“What is it?”
Isabelle stiffened her mood.
Rauf also listened intently to those eyes.
“Skeleton… When the most important time comes, can you give up the life you wanted so much? I want to hear the answer, not the probability.”
It was a somewhat unexpected question.
*
“… … ugh… .”
Ronica opened her eyes with difficulty.
When I open my eyes, I see an iron cage. When I looked, it looked like I was in prison.
“Where am I?… .”
I looked around for a moment.
It’s a place I know.
A prison that I briefly saw while walking around the laboratory.
A human warehouse where the test subjects were kept.
I was trapped there.
“… Guys?”
The problem was that I was alone.
None of my friends were in sight.
“Whoop… .”
I took a deep breath and calmed down.
I slowly grasped the situation.
He came to the Magic Tower to find the connection between Caesar and God, found this place, and was caught and locked up.
At this time, Caesar called himself Arcedius.
Then everything will be explained.
Why did Caesar disappear into the Magic Tower?
Why didn’t anyone know about that?
Even how they concealed Medis.
Caesar had some kind of relationship with the first warriors, Aegis and Medis, and probably studied the resurrection of the gods with the cooperation of Aegis.
As a result, God was resurrected.
The proof is that he was attacked by an incredibly strong woman named Priscilla, the sun god.
If you fly that far in just one night… … .
“We have to escape.”
I calmly cooled my head and checked my surroundings.
Hold, hold!!… .
For a moment, I tried to open the cage with force, but it didn’t budge, perhaps because it was an improved alloy.
His sword and the subspace pocket were not visible, the iron cage was so hard that it could not be pierced, and all sides were blocked by hard stones.
Blankets on the floor.
A smelly toilet.
That’s all around.
Of course, there is no way out.
so that… .
‘Shall I summon a nigger?’
I thought of the person I trusted the most.
But it’s on hold.
Black people must be busy at war.
Not only do I not want to interfere, but more than anything, there is a powerful presence here.
Maybe God.
This is the enemy headquarters.
Even black people are dangerous if summoned here.
I don’t want to be in danger by summoning him for no reason.
‘If the magical core is broken, the black man will also be in pain… Because your life will be safe right now. ‘I can’t just expose you to danger because of me.’
If he is summoned and defeated, he dies as well, but if he is not summoned, even if the magic core is broken, the black man can survive for now, even if he is in a weakened state.
So you can’t sing it easily.
‘No matter what happens to me… ‘Keep the nigger safe.’
Come on.
I wrapped my arms around the magic core near my chest.
Summons should be reserved as a last resort. Together, the death of a dog is also an emissary.
When there is a gap.
When you are sure.
You have to find that moment.
I also want to dig deeper into this place.
Caesar’s connection with the gods.
The forgotten truth about Edeline.
Moreover, thanks to the black man’s magic core, he has become stronger to the peak of 5 stars. If you do it right, you might be able to break down the wall and create a passage.
Seeing as how he was imprisoned like this, he must have been worth keeping alive.
There is no need to worry about dying.
It’s a very risky gamble, though.
All you have to do is try it!
The moment you make up your mind.
Squeak~
A door was opened beyond the prison bars.
“You’re awake.”
“… … … .”
Caesar was standing there.
Although he had become older and more shabby than when she had seen him before, the soul of the ruler standing between the white and black colors seen in Ronica’s eyes showed that he was the unchanging Caesar.
Ronica immediately stiffened her face and asked.
“King… Why are you doing this?”
“What are you talking about? Wasn’t it you who arbitrarily broke into my laboratory? I just caught the intruder.”
“What did my friends do?”
“Don’t worry. I brainwashed them well and sent them back.”
“Brainwashing?… … … .”
“Do you understand the situation?”
“… … … Tell me please. What on earth are you planning?”
“Hehehe. He probably doesn’t know his situation, but he’s really bold.”
“That’s because it’s suspicious.”
“Hmm… Well, it doesn’t matter.”
Sigh.
Caesar opened his mouth with his head slightly raised, as if recalling the distant past.
“It’s already been more than 50 years. The first hero, Aegis, came to visit me.”
“Aegis?… … .”
“He was my teacher. And he brought with him the remains of God and the crystal that imprisoned his power.”
“Could it be possible to resurrect God with that?”
“Didn’t you see it?”
“That… How is this possible?”
“Actually, it can’t be said to be real. Because it is a weak power compared to the original. Still, they are gods. Because I have a power that no one can surpass.”
“Is that a weak power?… .”
“It may be hard to believe, but Edeline was strong in the past. Although most of the history before the tower appeared, Edeline was clearly a strong world, and the names of the twelve gods were very high and strong. That’s why Aegis came forward. I dreamed of the resurrection of God to restore my past glory.”
“… … God was not a good person… .”
“What does that have to do with anything? God’s resurrection is something for everyone to rejoice over. They will protect this weak Edeline from invasion.”
“But it’s strange. You never give in to anyone. There is absolutely no way that was the purpose.”
“Ho? It seems like you know me well.”
“… … … .”
“It’s exactly as you said. I don’t bend to anyone. Even if you call him a god.”
“Then why… .”
“Do you know what? How hard it was for me to avoid you all this time.”
“Yes?”
“Hahahaha! There is no need for that anymore. Because God will fight for me.”
“What… … .”
gulp.
Words whose English is unknown.
Ronika swallowed.
From what the black man said, I was thinking that I might bump into Caesar someday.
But that was now.
I was complacent.
Caesar developed his ambition without anyone knowing, and this eventually happened.
He has an unknown plan.
He said that more than anything, he had been avoiding him.
In other words, it is not favorable.
This made it clear.
He is the enemy.
Dangerous.
“What on earth are you planning?… .”
“It’s all because of you. Originally, I had no intention of rushing to the point of ruining my body like this. Well, that’s okay now, but…”
“… … … ?”
“I will ask. The phantom beast you command. And what does it have to do with the god of ice? Why were there such beings near you?”
“That’s… .”
I learned the reason for Caesar’s vigilance.
The reason he hid and did this was because he was wary of black people and spirit kings.
You must have been avoiding yourself due to that pressure.
Those two must have thought they were above them.
but… .
God’s resurrection.
Because of this, Caesar was filled with confidence.
Maybe it’s something that can be used as a god.
Isn’t there something that can control God?
That’s why he showed up so proudly, and he must have caught himself.
and.
The God he saw was never good.
The outside and inside are different, and they are arbitrary.
I don’t think of humans as humans.
This is the worst situation.
This may be a crisis for all of Edeline.
We must spread this news to the whole world.
But how?… … .
“Are you saying you won’t answer? Does not matter. Because there’s nothing that can stop me now.”
“… If the nigger comes back, I won’t leave him alone.”
“Hahaha! That’s a cute threat. Perhaps it was those two who defeated the invading army in the Empire? I think I’ve passed the gate now… How did those two know that they were coming to save you? No, even if I did that, I would die without being able to save him. Because of you alone.”
“… … … .”
“Don’t worry. You’re a very advanced test subject. You won’t die. Of course, it can be painful. Hahahaha.”
Caesar was scared.
There seemed to be more to Ronica than I thought, and it seemed like he wanted to bring despair.
but.
‘Experiment… .’
Ronica felt relieved at those words.
Because there’s no way you’re going to die right now.
So if the nigger comes back, he will be able to get out of here easily.
Then there is only one thing for you to do.
The purpose of coming here from the beginning.
You need to get as much information as possible.
Therefore, it provoked Caesar.
“… It’s arrogant. Do you think you can control the gods?”
“Hehehe. If it weren’t for that, God would have already been resurrected 5 years ago. Because I have the ability to do that.”
“What is the probability of something going wrong?”
“I guess I want to believe that I failed, but now Gaia is following my wishes-”
As Ronica intended, Caesar opened his mouth.
As if telling you to despair again.
Ronika realized his intention and deliberately pretended to be scared, while continuing to refute the information.
Even if you are caught in a tiger’s den, if you can come to your senses and understand the enemy’s actions and weaknesses, you might be able to defeat it.
You need to provide as much information as possible.
About Caesar’s dangerous plans.
*
Shuuuk!!!
It quickly split the air.
Despite the incredible speed, the wind naturally split and there was little resistance.
[Lexia’s mana will run out in a little while.]
“I know.”
I moved without stopping for half a day.
Aaron Valley itself is so large that it took too long just to get back to the gate.
That’s how heartbreaking it is.
I wonder if there was something wrong with my disciple.
The good news is that the magic core is safe.
This is proof that the disciple is safe.
[The more urgent it is, the better it goes. You were fighting just a moment ago. If you go too hard like this, you won’t be able to use your proper strength.]
“… Know. Nevertheless… … There is something I must protect.”
[…] … … .]
I ignored Atrot’s advice and kept going.
You never know when something will happen.
There isn’t much left now.
I arrived at the gate after covering an unbelievably long distance in just 6 hours.
I crossed the gate without delay.
◎︎ Go to the 6th floor.
◎︎ Entrance – Private gate GA8DA-04731.
Sigh!
Parbat!!
Immediately telepathically to my disciple.
‘Ronika!! Are you okay!! If anything happens, summon me!!!’
‘… … … .’
I can’t hear an answer.
The tower is also a world far away.
It is difficult to hear telepathy if you are not concentrating.
In other words, they may not be able to concentrate on telepathy, or they may still be asleep.
then… .
Shuuuung!!
I rode Lexia again and moved through the black land to Edeline Gate. Since it was only a few hours away, it took less than 10 minutes to get there by Lexia.
◎︎ Return to Edeline.
◎︎ Entrance – Edelin Gate 27.
Parbat!!
“What is it?… Someone.”
“enemy!?… .”
“He’s human?”
“Ah! That person!!… … .”
When you cross the gate, you see an imperial soldier.
It seemed like the invading army had retreated and set up a separate guard here.
It’s not something to worry about now.
I immediately sent a telepathy message to my disciple.
‘Ronika!! Are you okay!!’
please.
Answer me.
If you can hear me.
‘Ronika!!!’
‘… ah! coon?’
A dazed voice.
Phew… .
Fortunately, the answer came back.
That alone was a huge relief. What is this that makes my heart jump?
I calmed down again and spoke.
‘… Are you okay?’
‘huh. ‘I don’t mind.’
haha… .
I feel like my blood that has cooled is coming back.
Fortunately, it didn’t seem like there was any major damage.
A sigh of relief escaped.
‘… … I’m glad you’re safe. No, I guess nothing dangerous happened?’
‘that is… .’
The disciple hesitated to answer.
Looks like he doesn’t want to worry you.
So, I spoke first.
‘I heard that God has been resurrected. ‘Have they done something?’
However, the answer was unexpected.
‘huh… I’m caught now.
‘… ‘What?’
It was the moment when my blood cooled again.
