66. Magic Explosion Accident 1
“I shouted out loud that nothing would happen.”
Seunghyun Kang looked around. The bookshelves collapsed and all kinds of ornaments were spilled or smashed.
The room, which had been splendid and magnificent until now, is now a mess from an explosion.
“Ser, no way… did you know in advance that an explosion would happen…?”
“of course.”
About 15 minutes ago.
Seunghyun Kang used the [Eye of Observation] in this room.
‘Since this is the room used by the vice-master, he must have laid a lot.’
The more connected circuits there are, the higher the probability of an explosion. Actually, looking around the room, I could see a huge number of circuits.
──[Danger]──
As expected, all the connecting circuits in the room were on the verge of exploding.
‘Haybe, don’t you know that bastard?’
Kang Seung-hyun looked at Haibe. He was sitting in a very comfortable position.
‘I don’t know, so he must be like that.’
It is difficult to see the connection circuits with the naked eye even if you are a submaster of the Magic Tower. This is because you need to use complex magic to see the true nature.
‘I really make a living thanks to the [Observing Eye].’
Kang Seung-hyun, who organized his thoughts, opened his mouth.
“This is your final warning. Even now, people…”
If Haibe were to investigate the center.
At least if you said you would evacuate people.
‘I tried to run away with this guy too…’
Kang Seung-hyun was thinking of saving Haibe.
It’s as big as chestnuts, but it must have a conscience.
“I just wasted my time. Get out of my room!”
However, Haibe didn’t even pretend to listen and kicked Kang Seung-hyun out of the room.
‘I can’t help it if he wants to come out like that.’
so i didn’t tell The fact that a backflow of magical energy will occur in this room.
“I definitely warned you earlier. It is you who did not hear that.”
Seunghyun Kang said while relaxing his stiff body. Haibe clenched his fists and said with a servile face.
“Ah, I was wrong earlier!”
“yes?”
“I should have listened to you… I didn’t know for a while even though I didn’t!”
Haibe realized his situation now. Someone might come, but no one comes.
‘Everyone around here must have been caught in an explosion…!’
I don’t know the exact reason, but Kang Seung-hyeon expected an explosion and seems to be safe.
Haibe muttered with a stiff face.
‘There is no hope if I lose this guy.’
Pjik Pjik….
Even though I can’t even use a magic shield, sparks are still exploding behind my back.
‘If there is an explosion like before, it’s the end!’
Horrified, Haibe begged desperately.
“Please save me! I am not one to die in a place like this!”
“…”
But Kang Seung-hyeon just stared at Haibe with his arms crossed.
“okay! Why did you come back here knowing there was going to be an explosion… You must be negotiating with me, right?”
“Negotiation?”
“If you save my life, I will give this to you.”
What Haibe took out was a key with an ornate decoration.
“What is it?”
“Magic center! You want to go in there! I will give you my permission!”
A strong seal is placed on the door to the magical center. Use this key to temporarily break the seal.
“You want this? Hurry up and save me and take this…!”
Haibe was desperately begging, but his heart was different.
‘Once I get out of here, I’ll take care of you right away!’
Rewards are just bait. Haibe was thinking of having his men kill Kang Seung-hyeon if he escaped safely.
‘The body can be disguised as if it was caught in an explosion! How dare you make me, a trivial adventurer… like this?’
Haibe held back his anger and opened his mouth.
“Really like you said… there must be something going on at the magic center!”
“…”
“And if you save me… I’ll give you a huge reward. I will become the next Master of the Crimson Mage Tower.”
Haibe pulled out the last trump card.
‘There’s no way an adventurer would miss an opportunity like this.’
To be sponsored by the Crimson Mage Tower Master.
It is an opportunity that no adventurer can even dream of.
“If you save me, the Crimson Magic Tower will honor you as a hero. The savior of the mage tower!”
“…”
“So money or items… whatever you want…”
“When I asked you that earlier, you didn’t even pretend to listen.”
Kang Seung-hyun cut off Haibe’s words with a cold voice, as if he would not listen to him anymore.
“As you probably know, there’s a commotion outside right now.”
It’s not just Haibe’s room. The surrounding facilities were all destroyed by the explosion.
“I tried to evacuate people somehow…”
It was impossible to evacuate the entire floor within 15 minutes, unless it was one or two people.
“Well, as Vice Master said, wizards can reduce damage with magic.”
Typically, a magic shield. If you use it, you can block the magic explosion damage to some extent.
“But no matter how much one knows how to use magic, it is not easy for those who have no practical experience.”
Intermediate or higher level wizards would have blocked the explosion damage with a magic shield.
‘The magic shield is a magic that learns from juniors… but to use it proficiently, you must be an intermediate student!’
Most rookie wizards who were still immature in magic would have been caught in the explosion. This was a fact that Shuire, a mediocre mage, knew.
“There’s no way that you, the submaster, didn’t know that.”
Although he desperately denied it, Haibe knew that there was a problem with the magic center.
‘Otherwise, there’s no way I’m this exceptionally nervous.’
If there was something wrong with the center of magic, he would be the first to notice. However, instead of taking control of the situation, Haibe tried to cover it up by saying that there was nothing wrong with it.
“When other people said they were getting hurt and dying, they didn’t even listen.”
When that guy put his life in danger, he took out the key to the core without hesitation.
‘Well, there are all these bastards.’
If you are the master of the mage tower, you must prioritize the safety of the mages above all else. Because the Mage Tower is a safe zone that nurtures and protects mages.
‘This kind of person is a strong candidate for the Mage Tower master. The Crimson Mage Tower is also gone.’
However, Haibe was a selfish scumbag who cared only for himself and did not care about the safety of the wizards.
Kang Seung-hyun muttered as if he was full of energy.
“Now that it’s like that… I’m going to go find the others.”
“What?”
Kang Seung-hyun checked the time with his Mana Watch.
I’d like to kick Haibe, but that’s just a waste of time.
“Wait a minute! Are you going to leave me?”
“yes. I am busy.”
“Hey guys… you said you were going to save people? If we don’t do something with the magic center, the entire magic tower will explode!”
This time, only one floor exploded, but the entire mage tower will collapse next time.
“So I’m going to fix it now.”
“okay. Like you said, I’m not good at becoming a Master. If so, I should at least save my life…”
Haibe grinned and grabbed the key.
“You’ll need this if you want to get to the Magic Center.”
“….”
“I’m just in case, but it’s useless even if you try to take it away by force. Even the key is sealed!”
The only person who can break the seal is Haibe, the center manager of the Mage Tower.
“No one can enter the magic center without my permission! If you want to save others, save me first! You insignificant adventurer!”
As if he had nothing to hide now, Haibe showed his true colors.
“Save me and guide me to safety! hurry! If you don’t…”
“You’ve come this far… how can you hold other people hostage?”
Seunghyun Kang smiled and continued.
“What?”
“Didn’t I tell you? Come to think of it, I guess I didn’t.
“what are you talking about!”
“I will tell you now. Because of the explosion, all the seals on the magic center were also destroyed.”
Haibe doesn’t seem to know, but Kang Seung-hyun heard from Professor Tansel earlier.
A powerful magic explosion broke the sealing magic circle under the Mage Tower.
“So that means you don’t need the key.”
At the same time, it was no longer worth saving Haibe.
It’s because you can go to the center without an administrator.
“Then… why are you here…”
Haibe murmured with a devastated face.
Negotiations did not exist in the first place.
“I’m here to explain the situation.”
“Is that why you came to me?”
“Isn’t there anything else other than that?”
If Haibe asked to save others, he thought he would save them as a bonus.
But this guy is trash with no conscience at all. It’s not worth talking to or asking for.
“Goodbye then.”
Seunghyun Kang said that and got up.
Pitch Pitch!
Jigsaw Jigsaw!
Haibe realized that the sound of sparks behind him had intensified.
“Wait! It’s my fault! I made a mistake, so please save me!”
“I will save you. After saving everyone else.”
If you are alive by then.
Seunghyun Kang added with a smile.
“You are a healer! Is it okay for healers to let people die?”
Haibe burst into anger, but
“I’m not just a healer… it’s because I’m a wild healer. If you have any complaints, find another healer.”
Seunghyun Kang smiled happily and moved forward.
“You don’t know yet? Someone will pass by and save you…”
Of course, because of the explosion just now, there is no one around.
And above all.
Pajik Pajik….
Pajijik Jik!!!
Just before a magical explosion occurs.
“Then I will go. I wonder what the magic center looks like.”
“wait! wait!!!”
I heard Haibe’s desperate voice from behind, but
kwaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!
It disappeared soon after being buried by a powerful explosion.
-“This has been roughly resolved…”
Kang Seung-hyun left Haibe’s room and came out to the hallway of the magic tower. The walls and floor were caught in the explosion, leaving nothing intact.
Pajik Pajijik…
In addition, big and small sparks were happening all over the place. There will be an explosion bigger and more powerful than before.
“let’s hurry! hurry! Hurry!”
“How did this happen? Is it terrorism?”
“I don’t know! Let’s go down at once!”
“Watch your head!”
As he came forward through the hallway, he saw the wizards hurriedly evacuate. Looking at their clothes, they were Mage Tower students.
“That way was blocked by an explosion earlier. Go that way.”
“Thank you!”
“Everyone, let’s go this way!”
After hearing Kang Seung-hyun’s words, the students nodded and moved forward.
‘It’s better than the submaster who was determined to live alone.’
Unlike the pitiful Haibe, the students worked together to escape.
The upper class guides the way and protects the lower class, while the lower class members work together to help the injured.
‘No one seems to be hurt, so I don’t think I need help.’
Kang Seung-hyun looked at the wizards for a moment and then moved. Now, as soon as possible, we must descend to the center of magic.
‘This hallway looks like it will be crowded. Shall we find another way?’
Fortunately, Kang Seung-hyun had a map drawn by Professor Tansel in his hand. Kang Seung-hyun checked the map and found the stairs going down.
‘…huh?’
At that time, I felt the presence of people in the corridor. There was no reason for people to be there because it was a dead end on the road map.
‘Who’s over there?’
