Chapter 50 – Basement of the Mage Tower
Episode 50: Basement of the Magic Tower
‘… Should I go with the saintess?’
I didn’t mean to either.
Ikarut sighed inwardly. She is about to move to the place to be searched for the Holy Sword. Mamon’s suspicious gaze did not stop.
Although he had a redemption contract. Far from being relieved, the highly loyal aide was suspicious of Lesilia.
‘Still, I need a saint to break the holy sword.’
There were no playable characters other than the hero who handled the holy sword, so I didn’t even know there was a detailed setting.
There is only content that it is the only weapon against the demonic sword. It was a game in the first place. If you were a game user, you paid more attention to things like weapon durability and performance than weapon descriptions.
‘I signed a redemption contract, so there won’t be any trouble.’
Although he took Lesilia with him, he still felt uneasy.
“Wow… Awesome…”
Lesilia opened her eyes wide after tearing through this space.
Huge mountain range. A strong snow wind blew, covering the mountain peaks with white snow. Lesilia looked around her curiously and let out her faint exclamation.
“It’s the first time I’ve seen such a wonderful sight… “
The saintess muttered to herself while holding her hands together.
She is a temple in the human world, and since becoming a slave, she has lived confined to the Demon Castle. She thought the snow that fell with the wind only fell on the temple.
The small mountain seen from a distance was actually very large. Everything unfolding before my eyes was beautiful.
Lesilia captured each and every one of her eyes in her eyes like a photograph of her.
Ikarut stopped walking ahead and waited. As soon as the saintess was born, she was called by God and she entered the temple.
Having spent most of her life in her temple, Lesilia was in awe of the landscapes she was only likely to see once.
“Ah… Oh! I’m sorry. I’m so excited like an idiot… “
“Go if you see everything.”
“… ! Yes, master… “
Lesilia glances back with her eyes widened a little.
In a dense forest. The road was rough, but the saintess followed along without showing any sign of difficulty.
Upon reaching a certain point, Ikarut opened the door to another dimension.
Cracks, cracks appearing in the air disappear with sparks.
‘Was there a magic barrier here too?’
This space is an artificial place that encompasses time and space.
It’s a comfortable ability to tear apart the boundaries that connect space and space. There was a barrier surrounding the magic tower, so it didn’t work.
The first place to search for the Holy Sword was the basement of the Mage Tower. The owner of the mage tower, the great sage Delphine, must have been away from work with the current expedition.
Until she entered the Mage Tower, she must have cast countless spells.
How wide is the boundary range? To explore, Ikarut channeled his aura.
The light demonic energy permeated the ground little by little.
“… Strange.”
“Master?”
“I can’t feel the barrier energy.”
Ikarut even got down on one knee.
I scanned the loose soil and slowly checked my energy. The reason this space doesn’t open is because of the magic barrier.
However, it was a different matter from not feeling energy. If you don’t know the range of the barrier, it becomes a little inconvenient to use the ability.
‘It’s going to be quite a nuisance.’
As Ikarut’s eyebrows narrowed slightly, Lesilia bent down to meet her gaze.
“Can’t you feel the mana at all?”
“Yes, it’s hard to predict even the extent of what kind of magic will manifest.”
“Aha…”
Lesilia quietly nodded her head. She rolls her eyes as she puts her index finger on her chin as if pondering.
Then, suddenly, he shifts his gaze.
“You can use magic… ?!”
“Since the source of magic and mana is thought, the fundamentals are different, but the principles are similar, so you can use only basic magic.”
“Oh, I thought Mamon-nim was special… That… You use magic…”
When I went to meet the Knight Commander Laura. It seems that Mamon, who can easily solve barrier magic, was amazing.
The demons used a variety of magic as their intelligence and ability were stronger.
Humans rarely used magic. He was even less of a wizard who had risen to a high level.
Only the great sage Delphine could fight on an equal footing with high-level demons.
“Amazing…”
“There are differences between races, so there is nothing surprising.”
“But it’s great.”
Lesilia smiled. She straightens her back and does a short stretch.
It was as if she was warming up.
“Looks like you did a good job following me.”
“…”
“I’m glad I can finally prove my worth to my master.”
Lesilia continued to stretch her body. She sticks out her large chest and holds it with one hand.
Her eyes looking up at her were full of confidence.
Lesilia was not a playable character. Since she was only a supporting NPC character in the main scenario, he regretted not being able to play her saintess.
“Delphine-sama must have put another spell on top of the numerous magic barriers.”
“… That’s why you didn’t see it. Seeing that this space doesn’t expand, it must be restraint magic.”
“Yes that’s right. Since he is so meticulous, he must have doubled it with other magic.”
“It must be an illusion magic.”
Ikarut saw the snow-capped mountains in the distance.
There was no winter in the area where the mage tower was located. A strong snow wind blew, but the snow crystals touching my skin were not cold.
The shape of the tower, which was supposed to be a mage tower, was also not real. The mage tower I saw in the game wasn’t in a dense forest. It didn’t make a grand appearance.
The ground he treads on. Was in the basement
“I admire Delphine-sama’s wisdom because she creatively utilizes magic without just using it.”
Lesilia laughs self-deprecatingly. Her uneasy fingertips fumble around her neck strap.
As her holy power flowed out, Pajit, the distance was a neck strap. In an instant, Lesilia’s eyebrows twisted.
He snapped her fingers as she glanced back.
“I will release you just once today.”
Ikarut decided to believe in her saintess. He also signed a redemption contract, and actively helped Ika Root by leaking information about the hero and his party.
Although he had a lot of suspicious feelings. So far, there have been no obstacles to his progress.
Suddenly, the leash came loose. Catching her falling neck strap, the saintess smiles brightly.
“… ! Master, thank you.”
Lesilia was very pleased that she had only loosened one of her neck straps.
I wondered if he was taking advantage of the opportunity to run away. There was no sign of that at all.
“What many people misunderstand is that holy power is not the purpose of protection and healing.”
Lesilia puts her hands together and assumes her prayer posture.
A pure and noble spirit flowed out. When her holy power and magi collide, she unleashes a weak convulsion.
An infinitely holy aura emanated from it. Ikarut instinctively reaped demonic energy.
“It’s about making the world go back to normal.”
Dig! A white mass exploded around her chest.
A violent snowstorm. The swaying leaves also stopped. Soon, a white light enveloped it and quickly spread to the mountain range.
Holy power that spreads like a stem centered on Lesilia. Ikarut spread a veil of shadow to protect himself from the vast amount of holy power.
It was as if the saintess herself had become a mass of light.
ㅡ Crispy
The illusion magic shattered like pieces of mirror. In front of her eyes was a vast barren land.
The rugged mountains and dense forests, all around them were welcome.
As the holy power faded, the light also went out. The body that supported her enormous holy power collapsed powerlessly.
“Master…”
Ikarut supported the saintess’ back. Lesilia swallows her dry saliva and smiles.
As if asking for a compliment, he silently nodded her head.
“Thank you for trusting me.”
Despite not being able to properly control her body, Lesilia speaks without showing any signs of struggle.
Then, as if asking for her neck strap, he carefully holds her hands together.
“Can you nullify her magic like you just did?”
“… It might be a bit difficult if the scale is as large as it is now.”
Lesilia took a deep breath. Her straight shoulder line quivered.
It seemed to have time before she regained her holy power. If she’s lucky enough to find the holy sword. A vast amount of holy power may be required to awaken her seal.
After the calculation was finished, Ikarut hugged her in a princess posture without delay.
“Kyaaaaagh! Lord, Master!”
Startled, Lesilia hurriedly wrapped her arms around his neck.
Usually women struggle to get down. Lesilia buried her face on her shoulder as if she didn’t want to.
“Master… If this… I’m ashamed…”
As embarrassing as it may sound, he shakes her head from side to side and even sniffs at her.
The softly leaking breath is somehow hot.
“I… Won’t you fasten her leash… ?”
“Then you will be controlled by your holy power.”
“Um, please release it only when you use your holy power…”
Ikarut silently snoops his head. Her saintess was ashamed, covering her side face with her hair.
She mumbles in a small voice and shyly raises her gaze.
“I liked it because it was like a sign that I belonged to the owner…”
I whispered in Ikarut’s ear and covered his expression with my palm.
Reddish nape.
In the end, he put the leash on her saintess again.
***
The mage tower gate buried in a pile of dirt.
Bang! Ikarut exploded lightly. Stairs that go down endlessly like a labyrinth.
Lesilia used Ikarut’s collar as a rope and slowly followed.
‘That’s strange. There are no traps.’
A day and a half was the standard for doing the quest to find Delphine.
The reason was that numerous traps were hidden everywhere. Even changed randomly.
If you don’t save, you will get caught in a different trap, so there are only a few save points as soon as you enter the mage tower.
The mage tower was as quiet as a rat.
The cool silence made Ikarut’s nerves stand on edge. Lesilia also looks suspiciously like a meerkat.
Ikarut calculated quickly. The great sage Delphine wasn’t this lax. If you cast magic double or triple around the magic tower.
Dangerous anomalies lurk inside the empty interior. Except for one circumstance.
“Why… There is nothing.”
“If my guess is correct—”
Cuckoo!
At just the right time, the huge underground stone door opened.
Wide hall. The stone statues standing on either side were each holding a weapon.
In the middle, someone sat arrogantly.
“Oh, who is this? The arrogant Demon King and the traitorous saintess.”
His gaze went up along the tips of his toes.
Also, the great sage Delphine was inside the tower. Only when Delphine is resting will the spell cast inside be canceled.
It seemed that she, too, did not want to be caught in a trap.
“Retina’s prediction that you would come here was correct.”
Delphine swayed and tapped the floor with her cane.
“Did the hero order to protect her holy sword?”
“But to be with the saintess… Honey, you still don’t listen to what others say.”
“Answer the question. Foolish great sage.”
“What?! Who said someone was stupid!”
Delphine was furious.
Power was added to her cane as she thumped down. Pot, I could see mana sparks bouncing with anger.
“This time, I have to decide with you.”
“… You’re annoying.”
“Because I’m quite obsessive. What can I do? My great curiosity is fueling it.”
A great spirit roars.
Although Lesilia was one step ahead in her battle stance. She is soon stopped by Ikarut’s arms.
“It would be good for the climbing cattle to know my subject.”
“Oh, I want to break that arrogant nose.”
Two eyes colliding.
The spirit of victory is full.
