Episode 587 Reunion (1)

The prison of the Great Hall was opened and various sounds stimulated animalistic instincts. At the same time, the restraints were released one by one.

Gluttony’s third canine, Beldoran, who had been so thoroughly confined that he could not even harm himself, opened his mouth and released his jaw.

How long has it been since we were able to pronounce a language freely?

“I can feel the commotion outside. What’s going on?”

“shut up.”

Isabella slapped the man who asked her questions naturally.

My jaw was crushed.

Blood was gushing from inside the mouth, as if the teeth and flesh had clenched tightly.

“Uh… … Ugh!”

As Beldoran blinked in shock and pain, the magic item stuck in his mouth blocked his speech.

The details about Gluttony must not be revealed, but I have no plans to converse with the leaders of a group that even preys on humans through feeding.

He grabbed Beldoran, who was completely restrained, and pushed him backwards.

“It’s dangerous, so keep an eye on at least three people at a time. If you see any signs of them doing something stupid, feel free to blow off a limb or two.”

“yes yes!”

Rebecca, who witnessed the jaw being broken with a single slap, nodded repeatedly and headed into the depths of the Great Hall with Beldoran and the Society’s wizards.

He is the disciple of the wise man, so there will be no problem in trusting him and leaving him to me.

“How is the situation?”

[The speed of the pancreas’ saturation advance has been significantly reduced. However, as time passes, it is confirmed that the guard golems’ reactions are gradually disappearing more quickly. It is impossible to fully respond with golems alone.]

It seems that the Bohemian Tower is learning how to deal with golems.

“Where is the greatest damage?”

[Assuming the Daejeon Hall pier is to the north. Damage to the east is severe.]

The frame of the mini golem contains the signals of the guard golems.

Although the distance is short, you can easily check the location of the golems and give them orders within a range equivalent to 60% of the stratum.

“east…….”

Isabella’s golden eyes tilted in the direction Alpha pointed.

My heart is throbbing.

It was too far for my magical senses to reach, but I could feel it clearly. I could be sure of it even without material evidence.

That a peculiar, unforgettable feeling of disgust and discomfort was calling her.

“Alpha, gather all the special guard golems on standby to the east.”

[In progress.]

The air is cold.

Nothing really changed, but that’s what the people around me felt.

“Professor, would you please take the lead?”

From the appearance of Jinpan’s saturation until now, various decisions made by Isabella.

Clearly emotional, but also cool-headed.

The wizards, including Alderis and Junia, felt that they saw Verden’s appearance in her for some reason.

I hope it’s not a mistake.

Originally, people are influenced by the people closest to them and the people they want to be closest to, and sometimes they even become similar to them.

“Yes, willingly.”

* * *

“Artificial Golem… … Black Hour possesses ancient technology that even the Artesian Tower could only partially reproduce. I don’t think there was any information like this.”

Croden carefully observed the remains of the self-destructing golem. He tried to figure out what magical techniques had been used, but was not successful.

It was confirmed once again that it was not simply a magic item in the form of a golem, nor an artifact, nor even a type of ancient artifact… … but a real artificial golem.

Tilon looked sharply ahead.

“It seems that Black Hour has gone through a lot of internal changes over the years. Maybe it had something to do with the power source being forced to run wild three years ago.”

“In addition to the Great Hall, there is also a Golem. There must be many gifts to bring to the Master.”

Although they were taken aback by the sudden appearance of the golem and suffered a loss of strength, it was absolutely impossible to turn the tide of the battle to that extent.

If you stop the suicide golem from approaching, you won’t die from the explosion or debris.

“How about we gradually increase the speed of exploration? It seems like nothing new will pop up anymore.”

“I’m not sure yet… … .”

“I don’t know exactly how big the Grand Hall is, but if we continue like this, we’ll just be wasting time. And against Black Hour, who doesn’t even have a dark moon and doesn’t have much power left.”

As soon as they arrived, they used the power of a large flying machine and a complex magic circle to amplify all the magical power flowing in the area.

If the effect had worked as expected, at least all Black Hour communication methods connected to the Great Hall would have been paralyzed.

They were isolated.

“Black Hour, except for Dark Moon, is a bunch of bastards. If you take out the top executives, Karindin Lerhar and Mabel Lysonia Schiller, they’re nothing more than rats. When rats are cornered, they’re just going to get crushed. I’ll get my feet dirty, so you can just sit back and watch, Supreme Elder.”

“… … .”

It is not hard to guess that the reason Croden is so enthusiastic is because he believes that Black Hour will have Isabella, whom Raishen has secured.

This is not normal thinking.

‘Croden Olentia is a twisted man, especially on the inside.’

I would have liked to tell him to ignore the mere test subject and focus on subduing Black Hour, but… … I must refrain from causing friction with that madness.

Above all, Croden is considered the next Bohemian tower lord. Even if there is a better candidate, it is too late to replace him.

It is a reasonable and wise policy to avoid unnecessary conflict.

“Yes, I understand. Instead, I will take overall command.”

If Croden makes a mistake, Tilon cannot be free from responsibility.

In that case, it would be better for Tilon, who has an overwhelming amount of experience in magic warfare, to step forward and prevent any accidents that may occur.

“Do as the Supreme Elder wills.”

Croden took a step back as if making a concession and smiled. His face looked satisfied that things were going his way.

Phew.

Tilon gradually increased his flight speed, leading the elite of the elite.

The internal personnel belonging to the Jinpan’s saturation followed in defensive formation, while Croden and his immediate subordinates moved under thick protection.

It was around this time that the aftermath of the battle, including the blood and flesh of the wizards and the collapsed structures of the Great Hall, disappeared from sight.

Tilon said.

“Stop.”

At the intersection of the hallways, a few dozen paces ahead, someone was blocking the way. It was a man with half his face covered in burn scars.

“Judging by your attire, you don’t seem to be a member of Black Hour. Have you come to us as a messenger to surrender?”

The man, Alderney, tilted his head slightly instead of answering readily.

Then he turned his gaze to Croden, who was among the wizards.

“Croden Olentia. She entered the Academy late, so she’s probably quite old now, but her appearance is surprisingly similar. Unlike her classmate Isabella.”

“Isabella?”

Croden, responding to the name, strode forward. Tilon tried to stop him, but he shook it off and stepped out of the formation.

“How do you know Isabella?”

“I heard it from her directly. During the interrogation of Rayshen Taillord, I also learned what Bohemirn Matap thought of her.”

“Where is Isabella?”

“Where do you think they put the undead test subject? The laboratory, of course.”

Alderney said calmly.

“Thank you, I am using it well. Your friend.”

Even though it was a lie, I felt resistance to talking about my disciple in this way.

The provocation worked.

That was a real wedge.

Croden glared at Alderney with a murderous gaze without even closing his eyes. He activated the magical circuits in his entire body.

A flame formed at the end of the staff.

“Cut off the limbs first, then bury them again.”

Four red wind blasts were fired, precisely targeting Aldernis’ limbs. An extraordinary rate of fire that easily casts synthetic magic.

A strong gust of wind caused by Hana Aldernis interfered and reversed its orbit.

Kwaaaaang! Kwaaaaang!

The magicians of the Magic Tower skillfully formed a water current that surrounded the area. It was at that time that they effectively blocked the explosion and heat.

… … ?!

Suddenly, countless magical reactions were felt, and at the same time, ice and earth magic rushed in from behind Aldernis.

The water curtain, vulnerable to physical force, froze and was soon shattered. Although immediate death was avoided due to skilled response, some people were injured.

‘You calculated this number of magic without any magical reaction?’

What kind of concealment is this?

Tilon ordered Croden to be guarded in all directions, along with his protection.

If you can hide your magical power reaction like you just now, there’s a high chance that there’s an ambush. Not just from the side, but also from the rear that you passed by.

The prediction was almost correct.

Kuung───! Kuung───!

Two golems appearing from the left and right are closing in on each other.

It’s not a suicide golem.

Compared to that, it was so huge and glowed blue-green. Those entities were coated in mithril.

Kwaaaaang!

A large forearm slammed into the ground and swept across the horizon. I was able to dodge it with an evasive maneuver, but it completely threw our formation into disarray.

Then came the Black Hour wizards, who unleashed a magical bombardment accompanied by unique golems with magical shields.

“Fuck.”

Surrounded, but that’s it.

Can respond.

However, considering the power loss, it would be better to retreat once and then regroup before moving forward.

“Lady Olentia, let’s make a strategic retreat───”

Tilon shouted at Croden after making the giant mithril golem hesitate with a gravitational wave… …but there was no answer.

Croden was staring into the dark corridor far away, not engaging in a magic battle.

“… …Isabella?”

The pupils dilated.

Croden, who had risen into the air, escaped from the battlefield with .

Without even bringing along a direct wizard.

“What… … Croden! Croden Olentia! Where the hell are you!!”

Tilon raised his voice with a bewildered expression.

I tried to chase after Croden straight away, but the gravity field and the storm blocked my way.

“Wow, honestly, I didn’t think it would be easy to pull it off, but it works? My sister said he was crazy, and he really is. Is that the next Bohemian Tower? Ugh.”

“Tilon Narger, you can’t go.”

In the midst of the melee between the wizard and the golem, Junia and Aldernis aimed their staffs and wands at Tilon.

“Judging by the unclear status, he must be at least a 6th-rank lieutenant. It looks like the Black Hour executives have been replaced since I last saw him.”

Tilon showed off his power.

“I admit that you have quite a bit of wit. But do you think that the likes of you could dare to face me?”

“It’s probably impossible. He’s the highest elder of the Bohemian Tower. But I think we can buy some time. With the three of us.”

“……three?”

Sharpness cuts through the air.

The moment Tilon stepped back, a huge energy passed by.

That was black.

“I had no intention of getting involved in the war between the Transcendent forces, but now that they have invaded this place, I cannot just sit back and do nothing.”

The great sword fell askew, its tip aimed at the enemy’s heart.

“I will help you.”

Ennet, a disciple who was excommunicated by the Master and was until recently the 70th test subject of the Bohemian Tower, has declared her participation.

* * *

At some point, the noise faded away and a desolate silence enveloped the area. Croden, who had been running through the air, passed through the entrance at the end of the eastern corridor.

I just applied the brakes to slow down and landed on the ground.

“Isabella… … Isabella, is it you? It’s you. It’s you?”

A human figure in the center of a vast space.

I can be sure just by looking at the silhouette.

In that case, I even caught a glimpse of the face hidden under the hood from across the hallway.

It must be her.

“No matter what, I didn’t think you’d chase me by yourself the moment you saw me. I wonder if you’re confident in your skills or if you’ve gotten even crazier. Well, whatever.”

I pulled down my heavily pressed robe.

“It’s been a while, Croden Olentia.”

Isabella activated her powers.

“This is your grave.”

* * *

The cliff stronghold of the Western Continent Magic Tower Alliance.

The sound of swallowing could be heard here and there. Cold sweat dripped down the tip of the chin.

Her damp hair pounded her skin.

I thought that there might come a time when I would have to face the Dark Moon since I was dispatched to the front lines, but now that it is right in front of me, I can’t keep my composure.

The mere fact that many of the Ostea Matapju and the elders of the Union were gathered there was not enough to wash away the tension and fear.

The highest elder of the Heliton Tower asked, catching his breath.

“… … I heard that you were appearing and disappearing here and there on the front lines, but why did you suddenly invade on your own? What is your purpose?”

“Asking for a reason in the middle of a war. It’s not just pathetic, it’s ridiculous.”

Verden revealed the rank of the dark moon.

“I heard there is a disciple of Baloch here.”

“… … !”

“Hand it over.”

Unilateral proclamation.

As soon as he finished speaking, pitch-black flames scattered in all directions.

The elders and seniors, led by Ostea Matapju, hurriedly blocked it, but they were unable to stop Verden’s movements.

Phew───Kwaaaaang!

The lower elder of the Helion Tower was hit by the annihilation blast at close range. He left a short scream and was slammed into the building.

Of course he didn’t die.

Although he will suffer injuries that will make it difficult to move for a while.

“Those of rank 6 and above will take up the front ranks, and the rest will fall back to the rear!”

“Surround them! Surround them by any means necessary!”

The wizards move in unison or in disarray at the command of the command center. The once quiet stronghold has already been transformed into a battlefield.

Verden used the magic of the netherworld to wreak havoc. Magical protections were destroyed and structures collapsed.

It would be strange if there were a fair number of casualties but no one died.

“Kuaaaaaaaaaah!”

The inner circle of the Bohemian Tower served as a suitable scapegoat. The atmosphere became even more grim as the brutal murder occurred right before their eyes.

A meteorite carrying a volcano struck the ground, turning the surrounding area into a pile of ashes. Part of the split cliff fell. A thick cloud of dust rose.

At that moment, the person in charge of monitoring Robelin’s internal affairs revealed his magical powers.

It wasn’t resistance.

It was intentionally designed to attract attention so that the location would be discovered.

Because only by sacrificing Lobelin can Dahit be trapped.

But there is murderous intent.

It has its own utility value.

Tsk tsk tsk!

It collided with the magic barrier that Medrant had implemented and shattered it. The magics that came from all directions surrounded and blocked Annihilation.

“This is… … Transcendence?”

There is no need to praise him as a transcendent being.

Even if there were a large number of elders and seniors, a magic unit that had been ambushed and was unable to properly form a formation, let alone control the chaos, would not pose a threat at all.

This was especially true for Verden, who had absorbed the experiences of the Dark Moon and had even faced the Imperial Fleet on his own.

Pubberbang! Pubberbang!

Verden approached.

Robelin fired a volley of flames with her face stiff, but they all died down.

A net is conceptually positioned above a single flame.

Bam.

Verden, who had reduced the base to ashes in a matter of minutes, grabbed Robelin by the neck with his left hand and lifted her up.

“Rayshen Taillord, Luked Maniacs, and now Robelyn. Now the only successor to that half-penny is Croden Olentia.”

“Ugh, ugh… … !”

“Lady Robelin!!!”

Her closest associates, Hezen and Aril, tried to get her off somehow and repeated the magic calculations. Of course, there was no way it would work.

Even though he was hit squarely, there was not a single scratch on Verden’s robe.

Robelin groaned in pain, her eyes gleaming with hatred.

However, this situation is nothing more than an act for both parties.

‘As planned.’

Robelin struggled and stretched out her left arm.

Verden grabbed the bracelet that adorned her wrist with her remaining right hand───[Final Flame] and injected pure magical power into it.

Forced maneuver.

Originally, [The Last Flame] forced Robelin’s emotions into overdrive, maximizing her special traits and allowing her to display power beyond her capabilities.

A special artificial artifact that uses its power to allow Balok to remotely activate his own unique teleportation ability.

‘I start the process with my magic power instead of Robelin’s flames.’

Suddenly, an abnormal phenomenon occurred as the standard was exceeded in an instant.

Yes, that’s right.

Baloch intervened after realizing that [The Final Flame] had been activated.

Kugugugugugugu… … !

A storm of intense magical power rages.

The clouds in the sky were turned upside down, and on the ground, few wizards were able to stand properly due to the echoes of space.

“What, what is this… …!”

“That bracelet! It looks like that bracelet is the cause!”

“A disciple of the Bohemian Tower Master? So this magical phenomenon was caused by the Bohemian Tower Master?!”

Since you understand the mistake, the flow is smooth.

Kiiing.

The distortion begins.

A huge force held Verden and Lobelin captive and would not let them go.

Now, when the distortion of space occurs, Verden will enter the stage prepared by Baloch and Lobelin will die.

To prevent the latter, her entire body was gently wrapped in a curtain of space.

───When the night passes, the dawn passes, and the morning comes, everything will be over.

The art of transcendence.

He transmitted his voice to Robelin through magic.

───Come back soon.

Robelyn pulled at her chin.

be careful.

I couldn’t hear what he was saying, but I could understand it just by the way his lips were trembling.

in the end.

Quadddd …

The magic circle triggered by the bracelet twists the space itself and teleports everything. Unprepared objects begin to get caught up.

───!

Flashing purple.

A loud noise that shook the cliff.

dump.

In the blink of an eye, the ground within a radius of several meters disappeared entirely. In its place was left a hollow, unfamiliar crater.

Robelin, who had fallen inside, collapsed on the ground.

I shifted my gaze.

Verden was nowhere to be found.

* * *

“I got caught… …!”

Baloch smiled in satisfaction.

Wesroel, who is on the United Front, has finally found Lobelin and laid hands on her!

The unique magic circle that borrowed the principle of spatial distortion was properly activated, and it was confirmed that the bastard was forcibly transferred.

“Dahit Westroel.”

Baloch also transcended space.

“I will cut that tough lifeline.”

With all the collections I’ve accumulated throughout my life.
