363. The final winner
“Kang Seung-hyun!”
As soon as Kang Seung-hyun and his party arrived at the central hall, the mournful voices of the wizards greeted them.
“I was in trouble while you were away!”
“Please look at the condition of the submasters! Everyone suddenly felt strange, as if they had an infectious disease!”
“Ho, are we all going to die?”
“The wizards who are passing by the Southwest Building and are said to have been contaminated by dark magic…”
“Get out of the way! Doradel is missing right now!”
I expected it, but it was still five minutes before the opening.
It was because incidents were happening all over the Mage Tower at the same time, and the people in charge of the Mage Tower and the high-ranking people who had to deal with it were all lying down.
“It’s a mess.”
Kang Seung-hyun looked around the mess and approached those who were at least sane.
They were a small number of professors and Mage Tower researchers who had nothing to do with Lophemus, and the few survivors of Lophemus.
“Ah Kang Seung-hyun… Welcome. All of the submasters have now fallen, and to make matters worse, Miss Doradel has disappeared…”
“Ah, Doradel is here.”
Kang Seung-hyeon and his party set down a dry mummy wrapped in newspaper.
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!”
“master!!!!”
“Doradel-sama!”
Even the wizards, who were staring blankly at first, screamed when they realized that the mummy was wearing a master robe.
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!”
“It’s like this, but I’m still alive.”
“Is that more terrifying?”
“Rather than that, why was it wrapped in newspaper?”
“What the hell happened?”
The wizards began to ask Kang Seung-hyeon with confused faces, but instead of answering, he turned to the withered patients and the lucky survivors.
“You guys must have got a rough idea.”
“….”
“That the people who have had problems with their bodies right now are all from the Lophemus family.”
“A person from the Lophemus family?”
It was only when people heard that that they realized that all the withered wizards belonged to Lofiarmus without exception.
“Does Kang Seung-hyun know anything?”
“Is there a genetic disease that only affects the Lophemus family?”
“It’s similar.”
The moment Kang Seung-hyeon replied, the complexion of the Lofiarmus family members who were sitting at the table immediately became distorted.
“Shall I tell you? Or will you speak for yourself?”
“…”
“What the hell is that?”
“Tell me!”
In the end, ordinary wizards started wiping out the Lofiarmus family.
The situation has already grown as it grows, so it is impossible to hide it any longer.
“Actually… We, Lophemus, have a terrible curse passed down from generation to generation.”
In the end, Idesh, who was one of the candidates for the next Master, slowly opened his mouth.
If you are a member of the family, you are cursed the moment you are born, and that your magical energy is consumed every day.
And as the day goes by, the amount increases, and when the mana is completely exhausted, everything is said to die.
“A curse to lose magical power?”
“Are there any such terrible curses!”
As there is no curse more terrible than that for wizards, the members of the Mage Tower trembled with frightened faces.
“The Rophemus family was suffering from a terrible curse passed down from generation to generation, and in order to solve the curse, they were using the magic of the Golden Mage Tower.”
“On the magical power of the magic tower?”
“What is that…”
Kang Seung-hyeon stepped on Dail, which was sprawled on the floor with those words.
“I can’t understand you.”
“Keah!”
“These humans stole the magic you should enjoy.”
Not just for a day or two, but for at least hundreds of years.
“This family did not prosper the golden tower, but they were a group of parasitic people like mistletoe who lived by clinging to the golden tower.”
“Huh…”
The wizards were bewildered.
The great noble families who produced the best and most outstanding wizards in the golden tower were actually thieves who stole the magic tower?
“I can’t believe it….”
“For a prestigious family like Lofiarmus to do such a thing…”
Their faces were so incredulous that they couldn’t believe it. I had no choice but to.
“So, leave these people alone because they deserved to be like this.”
“If you touch these bastards, you will be cursed?”
“Uh uh…”
“The curse moves! Aagh!”
As soon as Alec finished speaking, the wizards began to run away crying and screaming.
“What moved! Do you know what kind of cold this is?”
At that time, Dail Lofiarmus shouted in anger.
“and! It’s true that our family is cursed, but we won’t turn into dried up mummies like this!”
“is it so?”
“Did you cheat on something? What have you done!”
Anyway, he was a quick-witted person.
“This family is in trouble even if the curse is lifted.”
“what?”
“is it so. As you said, mummification has nothing to do with cursing. Because I have lifted your curse.”
Kang Seung-hyeon threw the remnants of the prophecy on the floor.
“The curse is lifted? Then why are our bodies…”
“As expected, you did some tricks!”
“Please listen to the end without interrupting.”
Pak!
Kang Seung-hyeon calmed down the turmoil of lophemus and continued talking.
“It’s a guess, but it seems that this curse has a special device.”
If you harm someone from another family, you will accumulate karma, and the moment the curse is lifted, you will get your karma back at once.
“If there is little or no karma accumulated, there is no damage to the body, but if you have harassed a lot of people, your limbs will become withered like you.”
“What?”
“In a word, it’s not my fault, nor is it my ancestors’ fault, that it became that way, it means that it’s your own fault.”
At those words, the people of the Lofiarmus family were speechless, and a question passed through the heads of ordinary wizards.
‘Then what about Doradel?’
Even the sub-masters, who were famous for their filthy personality, ended up with only limbs.
If the people of the Lofiarmus family say it’s karma for being like that. What did Doradel do, whose whole body was turned into a mummy?
“A rule of thumb would have killed hundreds of people. So, my body dried up like a mummy.”
“How many hundreds?”
“It can’t be! You must be mistaken!”
“Doradel-nim could not do such a thing…”
Not only ordinary wizards, but also members of Lofiarmus jumped wildly, saying that they could not believe it.
‘That’s right.’
It’s natural to not believe it.
Lophemus, he has a bad temper every day. Even so, Doradel was always a good person who was kind to people below him with a good attitude.
“What a bad guy he is!”
“That’s right, that bastard tried to throw us into a dimensional rift!”
However, Kang Seung-hyun and his party learned what kind of person Doradel was through this incident, so they grinded their teeth and booed him.
“Doradel is not as nice as you think.”
“…”
“If you’re curious, why not go to the Southwest Hall of the Magic Tower?”
-After that, the wizards of the Golden Mage Tower headed to the Southwest Hall.
The first floor of the Southwest Building was covered with dark magic, but thanks to the generous pouring of expensive holy water and dark magic disinfectant, they were able to clear the way to the lab.
“They solve this with money.”
“Because the Golden Mage Tower has a lot of money.”
The moment they entered the laboratory like that,
“I can’t believe it…”
“My God…”
The wizards couldn’t say anything when they saw the horrific scene.
“Doradel did all of this?”
“That’s right.”
The fact that there are piles of homunculi that look exactly like the Lophiremus family is creepily unpleasant, because behind them are the actual bodies of the Lophiermus family.
“Doradel was secretly conducting human experiments here with the alchemists.”
“Human experiment…”
“Of course, by embezzling the Magic Tower’s magic and money.”
Kang Seung-hyeon adequately explained what Doradel had done to the wizards gathered at the table.
“Then did you cherish Doradel not because you loved your family, but because it was a tool that would prolong your life?”
“I guess so.”
“…”
“Lophiermus and the Golden Mage Tower were just tools for Doradel-sama’s lifeline…”
The wizards who were willing to do so by Lophiarmus’ embezzlement must have been greatly shocked by this incident. I sighed and sat down on the floor.
“He was someone I trusted and followed more than anyone else…”
“How could Doradel do this to us?”
“Did you trick us?”
For them, ‘Doradel Lofiarmus’ is a respected master who has led the golden tower even before the people gathered here for the past 85 years were born, and is the greatest wizard of the tower.
“The fact that all the alchemists we saw earlier on the second floor are dead… Did Doradel-sama deal with this to silence you?”
“Well then. That old psycho did Tosagupin.”
“It can’t be…”
“By the way, the reason why the ceiling was broken was because Doradel-sama was running wild with excitement.”
While discovering Doradel’s crimes, it’s a bonus that Doradell added a crime that he didn’t commit.
“Even if it’s the curse of the Lophemus family, you should report this to the Magic Association.”
It’s a family thing, but what Doradel did was more than that.
“First of all, we have to deal with the situation, so elect a temporary master.”
“Temporary master?”
“Even if it’s temporary, shouldn’t there be a person in charge to proceed with the work?”
When the master seat becomes vacant, one of the sub-masters is in principle to act as an agent, but now the sub-master seat is completely vacant.
“however? There is no one to take over the role of Master’s representative?”
“Everyone is down!”
The wizards of the Mage Tower fell into confusion.
It was because Lofiarmus had monopolized all the major agendas and tasks of the Mage Tower for the past few decades, so when they collapsed, I didn’t know what to do.
“Then, why don’t I take over the role of Master’s agent until the situation is settled?”
As if waiting for that, Seunghyun Kang smiled and pointed at himself.
“Are you Kang Seung-hyun?”
“Even though I am not affiliated with the Golden Mage Tower, I think it would be better for someone who knows well about this task to be in charge.”
An outsider is also a magic tower master with 0 magical power?
If it had been a normal magic tower, people would have been outraged saying,
“Is that so?”
“If Kang Seung-hyun-nim becomes the temporary master, it will be easier to negotiate with the Magic Association!”
“please!”
“Please become the golden mage tower master!”
As I said before, normal thinking was impossible because the Golden Mage Tower had been ruled by the Lophemus family for decades.
“Then I will take over the master authority.”
[Accomplishment Achievement!]
So Kang Seung-hyeon achieved a crazy achievement that made him wonder if it was possible to take the position of Mage Tower Master with 0 magical power, even if it was temporary.
