Episode 582 Rising Current (3)

The magic elevator of the Lepragium Tower is still with its doors open. Its gaping mouth points towards Balok.

Did you get caught?

Although we can’t be sure, the sudden movement can’t be a coincidence.

“… … .”

I tried to find a detour, but the design of this strange tower was so strange. There weren’t even any stairs where there should have been.

Of course, trying to invade from outside the tower is out of the question. There is no reason to walk right in front of the opponent.

Thud, thud.

Baloch, who had made a decision, immediately boarded the magic elevator. He pressed the button to go up to the upper floor.

The power source of the magic tower.

The destination was the epicenter where the magical wave had just flowed out.

The original purpose of coming here was to gather information.

If infiltration is discovered, it is better to go as deep as possible.

The reason Baloch could make such bold choices was because he was acting as someone else’s body.

‘Even if I die here, it won’t harm me in any way.’

We are prepared for any worst-case scenario. That is the bare minimum that Baloch can do.

Phew.

The magic elevator has stopped.

I took a step.

The hallway was as empty and quiet as the first floor.

‘No matter how strange the Lepragium Tower is, it probably doesn’t completely deviate from the basic framework of a tower.’

I compared it with the interior of other magic towers and traced the traces of magic power.

It was several dozen minutes later that the location of the entrance to the power room was determined.

The door was forcibly opened with the magic circle of yin and yang. Without any noise. The entrance, which was not even locked, was easily opened.

I can’t even see the management office.

As time went by, the concentration of the suspiciousness became thicker.

As we passed through the four doors in this way… … the space where the source of the rapid development of the magical world and the commercialization of magic, as well as the driving force of the modern magic tower, was installed, was revealed.

‘The heart of magic located on the nine steps.’

This place was no different, with a structure completely different from that of the Bohemian Tower. However, its unique blue color was the same.

I was momentarily captivated by the pure magic I was encountering after such a long time, but it was not the time to be absorbed in the sensation.

There are passengers.

The front of Baloch───A white robed being standing at the highest point of the stairs, staring intently at the power source.

‘He’ said.

“It was a long time ago that footsteps from outside reached this place. It may have been on the same day or on a different day, but it has never come so early as it does now.”

The first one to arrive turns away.

But the face was not visible because it was shaded by the magical light.

“A lot of things had to be that way.”

Baloch knew exactly who the owner of the voice was.

“The war between Bohemian Tower and Black Awar should never have happened, and the ideal of the Dark Moon should have been realized in a different form than it is now. The lifting of the protective ban and the rise of wizards beyond the hierarchy should have been a matter of the future.”

A voice whispering inside flows through the silence, wetting the stillness.

“Each time a new character appears, each time a different event occurs, each time the time changes, each time the cause and effect are different. But even so, it changes so much… … Isn’t it ironic? ‘Fate’ should narrow the margin of error as it goes on, thus confirming a single result. Instead, the biggest margin of error is drawn at the end.”

He took a step forward.

“I don’t know whether I should be happy that your ideals have been unexpectedly distorted, or whether I should be wary of an unknown future that is completely different from what we have tried to glimpse so far. Of course, I am not qualified to judge.”

Their eyes crossed.

“Unfortunately, you do not seem qualified to make your own decisions. Bohemian Tower Lord, Balok Vesias.”

The pinnacle of the current magical world───the 8th-tier transcendent, Lepragium Magic Tower Master, declared it.

* * *

A special robe with a brilliant white base and each border and design decorated in reflective gray.

White hair, a short, pure white beard, and green eyes that give the impression of an old man who is neat yet somewhat worn.

A voice that resonates with body and mind.

The status of a transcendent being that cannot be clearly read.

That’s right.

This is the Lepragium Tower Master himself.

‘Even though he completely hid his magical power and suppressed his presence to the point where he was no different from an inanimate object, his identity was immediately discovered.’

Is it by some magical ability or innate insight?

There isn’t even a nursery rhyme.

anyway.

It would be pointless to stick to deception now that we’ve already been caught.

“You’re hiding the existence of the Magic Tower realm from the world’s attention by separating the three-dimensional space.”

As Baloch uncloaked, his true form was revealed.

“As befitting its reputation as the most mysterious magic tower in the magical world, it seems to have more dark secrets than you might imagine, Lord of the Refragium Magic Tower.”

Everything is difficult to understand, such as the emptiness felt in the force that should be the greatest among the ten magic towers.

The same goes for the Lepragium Tower talk, which sounds like nonsense.

“… … And the war between Bohemian Tower and Black Awara should never have broken out in the first place. What does that mean?”

Baloch asked with a glare, but there was no answer. It seemed more like indifference than deliberate ignorance.

The Lepragium Tower opened its mouth in a calm manner, in some ways as if talking to itself, and in others as if having a conversation.

“Do you think this world is infinite?”

“……what?”

“There is nothing infinite in the world. That is why it is finite. Whatever it is, it is natural that it will eventually end in one end. The cycle of nature, which at first glance seems like it will continue forever, is also like that. Someday, we will face the end.”

This is a sentence that is incomprehensible in English. Even if you understand the words themselves, you cannot understand the intention of the Lepragium Tower Master at all.

The unwanted answer or Baloch had to remain silent. An incomprehensible presence strongly interfered with his mind.

“Big… … .”

“… … ‘You’ judged, believed, and did not bend. At the end of that agony, ‘You’ decided to circulate everything, including time and space. Under the name of ‘Wheel of Destiny.’ In order to avoid the inevitable end that will come in the end, you conceived of a single circle to replace the concept of a straight line.”

As the meaningless words continued, a dirty feeling of being possessed by something arose. Balok stood still and resisted stubbornly.

puck!

The agent’s body, protected and strengthened by a magic circle in a tight tug-of-war, soon couldn’t stand it and one of his eyes burst.

“But the ‘eternal world’ with a set beginning and end is a closed world, a prison, and a kind of repetitive puppet show. That is why those who wish for a better tomorrow and the freedom they deserve have rejected and resisted.”

“That, that mouth… … !”

“As a result, those beings who chose to resist were defeated despite their struggles. Most paid a terrible price, and many were forced to accept their fate.”

“That mouth… … !!”

“But on the other hand, ‘you’ also did not achieve complete victory, and that is the present. Soon, once again, a confrontation will take place that will teach you the choice, and the beings of the world will be divided into two. Those who have accepted fate and those who have rejected fate. Balok Besias, which side will you be on?”

Thud.

Baloch, who had gathered his hazy will, let go of his suppression. The repulsive force that had lost its way burst out of his mouth.

“Shut your mouth!!”

Baloch activated the magical circuits of his entire body. Despite being a substitute, he felt a presence that forced him to follow.

He spread out his right hand.

Seven magic circles rose and flashed brightly. They were connected as one by a chain of lightning and resonated together.

Anyway, the stand-in is disposable and it doesn’t matter what kind of death he suffers.

The consciousness you are sharing will awaken completely from your body.

‘I don’t know whether it’s fate, you, or resistance, but it’s dangerous to continue the conversation… … !’

Mental interference through voice.

I discovered one of the magical abilities of the Lepragium Tower. It was beyond my calculations that it could even affect a Transcendent being.

Since it had come to this, I was planning to check how high the realm of the 8th rank was.

Phage, phage, phage!

A sphere of magic circle condensed by Baloch’s magic rushes diagonally upward.

It was the moment when the tail of lightning traced a straight trajectory.

Tsk tsk.

The magic circle began to distort and disintegrate, then disappeared before it could even reach me.

The magical power that formed the ritual has disappeared.

Baloch’s head turned to the side.

There stood the figure I had seen at the meeting of the Transcendental Magical Society a while ago.

“… …agent.”

Maya, the agent who carries out the will of the Lepragium Tower Lord.

“Please don’t make any more noise, Bohemian Tower Lord. At least not here.”

“As anyone may wish.”

Despite facing two Transcendent beings, Baloch snickered and deployed his magic circle.

Lights of various elemental properties flickered as if they were going to turn the surrounding area into a wasteland.

“Even if you use the ancient bloodline of projection to represent consciousness and power, a flesh that has not experienced awakening cannot handle transcendence.”

Baloch’s eyes widened at the remark made by the Lepragium Tower Master.

“What about projection… … .”

“Hierarchy doesn’t exist for nothing.”

A right hand extended from the sleeve of the robe and pointed at Baloch Besias.

“Let’s go back now.”

It was an order from the master of the magic tower, and it was a ‘magic chant’ rather than a hierarchical form.

Space is distorted.

A powerful repulsive force struck me, as if the whole world were pushing against me.

Baloch immediately created a barrier that blocked external forces and surrounded his entire body, but it was not physical force.

“───?!”

A certain concept shattered the magic circle like glass, and the moment I touched it, my vision and consciousness became dizzy.

Like falling off a cliff, and moving away from things that were on the cliff.

‘That’s… … .’

At that split second, Baloch Besias witnessed it.

The ‘unknown being’ held by the power source at the rear of the Lepragium Tower.

Phew!

The prisoner’s body of Kernadel disintegrated and Baloch’s consciousness was banished.

Silence fell.

As soon as the uninvited, yet expected, guest disappeared, the Lepragium Tower returned to its original peace.

Maya said.

“You have said a lot. It is a memory that will be sealed anyway.”

“It’s going to be sealed anyway, so no matter what we talk about, it won’t make a difference.”

Either way, the result is the same. There is no reason for opinions to conflict.

“By the way, so many things have changed since Bohemian Tower Master came here early. Above all, one of the power sources that must maintain the ten has disappeared… … And since last year, fortune tellers have been unable to read the branches of destiny derived from ‘you’.”

“The act of peeking into the future of existence in any way is a realm that only those who have sensed the illusory time that has passed without their knowledge but has not flowed are capable of. But since they have become blind… … This can be interpreted as the fate that ‘you’ have set has been disrupted and stopped.”

“What are the factors?”

There are countless reasons why this phenomenon could occur. The elements that make up the world have all changed.

but.

Among the newly emerging figures, there is one who stands out the most.

Asher, a young magician with both ‘ash-colored hair’ and ‘blue eyes’, is known by various nicknames such as the King of the Underworld, Honorary Count of the Kingdom of Estyria, and Sacred Saint of the Eastern Continent.

The man was an extremely unfamiliar figure not only from Maya’s perspective but also from the perspective of the Lepragium Tower.

One, that’s all.

“I don’t know what variables are causing this flow. I wish I knew, but I shouldn’t do it. That’s not the role given to the Lepragium Tower.”

The Lepragium Tower Master turned his head and looked over his shoulder. The tower’s power source was reflected in his transparent green eyes.

“Our mission is to wait.”

Of the defeated opponents, the World Tree was forced to watch, the Archdemonium fled, and the Giants surrendered.

The mighty beings who eventually survived walked the same path as the great demons and giants.

But it’s not over yet.

As the last ‘resister’ awakens from his long recovery, the beacon of counterattack will light and the long-held arrangement will shine.

Only He can destroy the destiny you have created.

The time, in the true sense of the word, is not far away.

* * *

I was bounced beyond the wall separating the third dimension from the third.

From updraft to downdraft.

Gravity was felt immediately after the sharing of projected consciousness ended.

“Ugh… … !”

Baloch returned to his main body, staggering and clutching his throbbing head.
