Even though I heard the whole story from Llewen, there wasn’t much change.

If I had to pick one thing that has changed, it would be the relationship between me and Llewen.

Perhaps because they revealed their secrets to each other, their relationship became closer.

As a result, various rumors spread, but we lived a peaceful life without paying any attention.

I went to see Lena after a long time and heard from her something I had forgotten.

“Cariel. Another request came in from the Magic Tower.”

“Oh, that’s right.”

Because so many things had happened, it was a fact that I had long since forgotten.

I thought for a moment and wondered what to do.

‘It means that you can’t easily leave your seat at a time like this.’

My closest level is Sword Master.

In a word, the state of transcendence has been reached, and the condition for the Demon King to be resurrected is when a challenger appears.

In other words, it is the moment when someone becomes a Sword Master.

In fact, it wouldn’t be strange for the Demon King to appear at any time now.

‘I think it’s been about a week since I achieved transcendence.’

Seeing as there was no reaction yet, there was a high probability that there was still something left, but I couldn’t let down my guard.

If the devil suddenly appears, you have to go immediately to stop it.

‘What should I do?’

It was a time when I was thinking about it for a while.

[It’ll be okay.]

Suddenly, such a voice rang in my head.

Who is it?

I turned my head, but there was no one there except Lena.

However, to say that it was Lena who spoke, it felt like someone was communicating directly into her head.

[long time no see. Kariel.]

Only after saying that did I realize who the voice was.

‘Are you a goddess?’

[that’s right.]

‘Then maybe the voice from last time… ‘

[Likewise, it’s me]

Last time, I heard a voice just like now.

At the time, I thought it was an illusion because it passed so quickly, but now I see that it wasn’t.

‘Anyway, what do you mean by it’s okay?’

[The devil will be able to move after a month. So it’s okay until then.]

‘Wasn’t the original movement of the Demon King after he achieved transcendence?’

[The reason the Demon King is resurrected is when he becomes the perfect challenger. It hasn’t been long since Kariel ascended to the body of a transcendental person. As a result, there is still a month left for the strength gained while ascending to transcendence to fully settle in. So what Kariel has to do is… ]

‘We must prepare for the devil. This is what you mean.’

[that’s right. In particular, the most important thing is for Kariel to win without dying. Because the reason for turning back time in the first round was your death, and it was the same in the second round. So you should no longer think about dying. I wanted to say that… ]

The goddess sighed.

[There is no way you would hear something like that. If you had to sacrifice your own life to catch the devil, you would throw your life away without hesitation.]

I wanted to deny that, but my record was already too impressive to deny it.

[So, whatever you do during the remaining time, you must choose to catch the devil and live on your own. Even if it’s because of Llewen. You don’t want to leave the person you love alone, right?]

‘All right.’

[Now I can’t speak to you anymore. So, this is my last word.]

I’m speechless for a moment.

I waited for a moment as she seemed to be thinking, and then the goddess spoke.

[I have seen many people in my life, and many warriors. And what I saw of you… He is a person more suited to the position of warrior than anyone else.]

Those words that were not mixed with a single lie made me.

I thanked her.

‘Thank you for letting me meet Llewen.’

[you’re welcome.]

After that, no more voices were heard from the goddess.

And I decided what to do.

“I’ll go straight to the Magic Tower.”

To prepare for when the devil appears.

I decided to go to the Magic Tower to get their help.

***

After sending a letter to Lena saying I was going to the Magic Tower, I also set off.

I wonder what it means to go at the same time as Seosin, but since Seosin used birds, it was much faster than me traveling by carriage.

It takes about 5 days to get to the magic tower.

On the other hand, if you use Jeonseo-gu, it takes about 3 days.

There was no problem due to the two-day time difference.

So, I spent some time riding in a carriage heading to the Magic Tower.

Finally, after five days, we arrived at Magic Engineering City, the wizards’ district where the Magic Tower is located.

The Magic Engineering City has literally made significant progress compared to other cities through engineering technology using magic.

While other cities involve horse-drawn carriages, here it’s as if you’re in modern times.

You can see some pretty unique means of transportation.

‘It looks much more convenient and faster.’

While a carriage must have a driver and horses.

All means of transportation around the city were fast and much more efficient.

‘It’s expensive because so much technology went into it.’

Of course, most people here are wizards.

There wasn’t much to worry about money.

In the first place, they enjoy using the technology they created.

It’s funny to worry about money.

“Anyway, the location of the Magic Tower is… ”

I walked forward, remembering the location of the Magic Tower that I had heard about before coming here.

Because the road was so complicated, I had quite a bit of trouble finding it, but fortunately I was able to find it quickly.

‘It’s at a level where I can’t find it.’

I saw the magic tower in front of me.

A building of literally overwhelming size.

It seemed to be about 150 meters.

For a moment, I felt like an idiot for seeing a magic tower of this size, but I was once again amazed by the size of the building.

‘Shall we go in?’

Since I was short on time, I wanted to quickly meet the magic tower lord.

However, it was blocked from the beginning by the guards at the entrance.

“Please identify yourself.”

“Who are you?”

Since the Magic Tower is a place where not everyone can enter, people were quite wary.

I took out the letter I had brought to the two guards who were on alert.

After confirming that, the two quickly lower their heads.

“Please enter.”

I walked past them and headed inside.

As it was a very large place, the inside was also quite fancy.

Numerous wizards were busy walking around, and it was common to see magic occurring here and there.

‘It’s very different from what I knew.’

Basically, wizards are closed.

They are a people who do not interact well with others and are obsessed with research.

If you look at it now, it may be closed.

It never seemed like he was crazy about research or didn’t communicate well.

‘Has anything changed in the meantime?’

For some reason, it seemed as if something major had gone through.

With the thought of asking the magic tower owner about this, I boarded the fantasy elevator that allowed me to go up to the top floor.

It was not a form of straight climbing, but a form of teleportation through a magic circle.

Basically, teleportation is a high-difficulty magic, and considering that such a magic circle was embedded and then mechanized, it was a testament to how capable the magic tower lord was.

‘It develops in one way or another.’

It was the moment when the magic circle was about to activate, once again feeling the greatness of the magic tower spell.

“Wait a minute!!!”

Someone suddenly runs out.

His face was puffy, as if he hadn’t slept for a long time, but his eyes were still alive.

The magic circle stopped activating at the sight of him somehow wanting to ride along.

“Heo Eok… Huh… thank you… ”

The woman, wearing her flowing glasses, stood on the magic circle, panting.

Before activating it again, the woman asked me.

“I… Are you going to meet the Mage Tower Lord?”

“Yes.”

“Well, the Lord of the Magic Tower told me not to visit anyone except the guests… I don’t know what the business is for, but why don’t you come visit next time… ”

I laughed a little at the sight of the woman who glanced at me and said everything she wanted to say.

“So you are not going to meet the Mage Tower lord.”

“I… A disciple of the Magic Tower Lord… ”

I was quite surprised to hear that he was a disciple of the Magic Tower Lord.

Still, if it were a disciple of the Magic Tower Lord, the news would have spread quite widely, but I didn’t hear about it.

‘hmm… You didn’t want it or you intentionally hid it. ‘It could be one of the two.’

Looking at the woman’s appearance, the former seemed even more certain.

“I am also going because I am a guest of the Magic Tower Lord.”

“Huh-up! Sin, sin, sorry!”

He lowers his head to the point where you wonder if his head is touching the ground, as if he has committed a great sin.

Feeling quite burdened, I waved my hands.

“It’s okay. Rather than that, I will activate the magic circle.”

For some reason, I thought something might happen if I stayed with the woman, so I quickly activated the magic circle.

The magic circle was operating normally and emitting light.

Suddenly, with a sense of distortion in my vision, I appeared in an office.

and.

“Warrior. Nice to meet you.”

In front of me was a young woman who spoke informally from the first time I met her.

The appearance of a woman with a lustful presence, as if she was born to captivate people, could be recognized without having to guess who she was.

“Magic Tower Owner.”

The woman in front of me was the magic tower lord.
