Chapter 500 Ghost Town
I looked at the back of Shile’s head for a moment. It was to hide what was troubling me.
“Ugh! why! why!”
The guy who naturally pressed his face against the wall made a strange sound. It’s not important.
‘how will we do it.’
I don’t know why, but it seemed clear that the collapsed mage tower thought of me as a hero.
By catching demons with Baisa? There is a possibility, but at the time I said that I was a holy mage.
Did you notice the lies? Even so, how does that connect with the dragon?
I don’t know. It’s a story I’ve heard coming and going, but I heard that there are many cases where the magicians are very ideal and at the same time idiots.
To the extent that they break the world’s providence and perform supernatural powers, they are beings who have their own world firmly established.
Heck, if you look closely at black magicians, calling them wizards is stupid, so it wasn’t just wrong.
What I have to think about is whether this misunderstanding is beneficial.
The trouble was short-lived.
“You wouldn’t have dared to reveal my true identity, would you?”
“No way. We are the only ones who know your true identity. Wouldn’t that be a good story to go into the ears of black magicians and demons?”
“Don’t believe me. Of course, if you don’t want to, you won’t be able to see the good things then.”
let’s go over I haven’t even finished the first chapter yet.
If you throw away the details and look at the core, the composition is clear.
Enemies of worshipers, black magicians and demons. The collapsed mage tower that is hostile to them is an ally.
It seems that the church is also hostile to the demons, but I haven’t met them properly yet, so I assumed they weren’t there.
There were other things to consider.
“Is the fallen mage tower friendly with the empire and the kingdom?”
“It’s not like that everywhere, but I have some connections with the Empire.”
Empires and kingdoms.
They talk about the Church or the Mage Tower, but in the end, they are only a small group in terms of national units.
What I have to do is not simply defeat a handful of enemies. to avert destruction. That’s the point.
“good. Let’s hear the story.”
I took away the power that had been given to my hand. Shile, who was rubbing his forehead with his hand to see if it hurt, pointed to the alley with his thumb.
“We’re not going to talk here, let’s go inside. There is a hiding place.”
The place he followed into was a shabby building. It was a place where there was nothing to say even if it was called an abandoned house, but unlike the shabby exterior, the inside smelled of people living in it.
Shale heats up a dented kettle and makes tea.
-Saaaaa,
there is silence in an instant. As it was an alleyway, I could hear all sorts of people coming and going and making noise.
Silence? That’s not it. If that was the case, I would have been able to look through it with my authority.
The guy who noticed me shrugged.
“Ah, Miss Baisa said. An excellent divine mage. I don’t think I belong to the church. As you may have noticed, I use elemental magic.”
“I guess so.”
I really don’t know, but I nodded my head calmly.
Because I also have a fairly close contact with the spirits. It seems that the spirit’s appearance is indirectly giving strength to the invisible spirit.
“Hmm, it seems that the affinity with the spirits is quite high. Everyone is curious.”
I guess so. Because I have the title of friend of the spirit.
I felt it secretly, but he was a guy with a lot of small talk. It doesn’t matter if you want to relax, but I’m in a bit of a hurry.
The chapter name hasn’t been announced yet, and it’s a situation where Oh Ji-hyeok doesn’t know when he will go out.
He has one life left. The goal was to climb as high as possible before going outside, starting with the end of his life.
Theoretically, if you don’t die, you can go up to the 100th floor.
‘I won’t.’
The situation outside was unusual, so it was not good to delay too much.
As the destruction accelerates, the time outside and the time in the tower are gradually coinciding. We have to get out before the world becomes an unbearably messed up mess.
The story is already out there unofficially.
There are two conditions given to the advance team going out this time. Get out if you lose coins. Even if you don’t, go out voluntarily after a month at most.
A month in the tower is about two weeks outside, so it was a reasonable standard.
And since the last chapter on the 80th floor began…
‘It’s been 15 days.’
There is not much time. Members and other top hunters, including Oh Ji-hyuk, must also be speeding up, but there are no signs yet.
Saying that Oh Ji-hyeok and Kim So-dam could go outside after spending time in vain. Even if I overdo it, I have to increase the attack speed.
Shile: That’s why I joined hands with the collapsed Mage Tower.
“Information about ghost towns. And tell me about the spirit tower and the hero.”
“You have a very quick temper. good. It wouldn’t be bad if we actively moved.”
Shile unfolded the map and the crystal ball, as if they had already sorted them out.
“Even if the collapsed Mage Tower doesn’t have the same prestige as before, it boasts a much longer history than other Mage Towers. Among the high-ranking wizards, there is no place that does not have a relationship with us.”
“I feel inferior for that kind of thing.”
I sneakily inspected the house that had all collapsed with Shile.
The guy scratched his cheek as if he was embarrassed, and continued.
“It is because it is a story of the past. A lot of them went over to the warlocks. anyway.”
Shile pointed to the map. A map drawn in more detail than I have.
A ghost town and a ghost tower were clearly marked, with a red line running next to them. It seems to have marked the way to enter.
“There are two main roads. Shortest path and safe path. As you can see, control has been strengthened with the arrival of the Imperial Army. It’s better to take the detour route.”
“I heard you had a relationship with the empire earlier.”
“It doesn’t push us openly. Because the Empire is more influenced by the Church. As you know, we and the Church don’t get along very well.”
That’s a fact I didn’t know. If you hate demons equally, shouldn’t you be on the same team?
“Did you really come from being stuck in a valley somewhere? You don’t know anything. It’s because there was a record of ignoring the church when the collapsed mage tower was popular. In the first place, church members and wizards have a bad relationship.”
The guy who gave me a brief explanation recited the route along the bypass route, but he raised his hand to block it.
“It takes too long. We go by the shortest route.”
“huh? What have you heard so far! If you go there, will you be blocked for sure? It’s status, it’s nabal, it’s complete control. They just blocked it!”
“No problem.”
I understand that the roads are blown up and strict vigilance is put in place to prevent the influx of black magicians.
at the same time.
“The guys guarding this place have no intention of going inside. If that was the case, they would have advanced inside instead of just guarding it.”
“You’re trying to advance inside, right? They are waiting for the priests dispatched from the church to come.”
“okay. You don’t want to go in yet.”
Shile opened his mouth as if speechless, but the important thing is this.
“Just pierce it. It doesn’t matter if they chase you. rather better Then you can attract the attention of the warlock.”
Anyway, isn’t the Empire and the Church thinking of attacking this place?
I’m just trying to advance that time a bit in good faith. Get rid of potential threats early on.
“Go right away. Get ready.”
“Oh no. really? hey! wait for a sec!”
If you think, act. Is there anything good about procrastinating? move right away
For a while, I screamed and resisted. I wondered if I was tired, so when I pressed my shoulder, Shile let out a scream and stood up.
“Gagh! okay! You can go!”
It was true that I was tired too. Need to squeeze often
The night after the sun went down, we headed to the ghost town.
* * *
Is that over there.
As a result of the forced march through the night, they were able to reach the passage guarded by the Imperial Army before dawn.
After entering the foot of the mountain, it was possible because they moved straight through the tunnel.
In my heart, I wanted to pass through this place as well.
“Wake up the dream. The Imperial Army isn’t an idiot, so there’s no way they weren’t prepared for that. You must have already blocked it with magic.”
Shile grumbles. These are not empty words. That’s how I feel too. That would be too.
-Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Because there was a huge window of light shining blue, and a faint curtain was connected between the windows.
As a rule of thumb, about 10 meters above. Maybe there are obstacles like that in the basement. Maybe he paid more attention to the ground below.
Those who want to go over can be seen with the naked eye, but those who want to pass below are difficult to grasp.
“Did I tell you? Not here.”
“No.”
“uh? hey!”
I grabbed him by the back and stepped forward confidently.
The Imperial Army, who spotted us, aimed their swords and spears at us at once.
“What kind of bastards are they!”
“Reveal your identity and surrender!”
[Rainbow Bridge (S)]
-Chahhhhhhh!
I used the rainbow bridge without anyone saying anything. A rainbow extending beyond the barrier.
The rainbow that appeared in the middle of the night made both the Imperial Army and Shile roll their eyes in bewilderment.
I quickly grabbed Shile by the back and climbed onto the rainbow.
“Catch it!”
“It’s a wizard! Shoot your bow!”
“Throw the spear!”
Arrows and spears flew towards me belatedly, but there was no damage. It is indestructible while moving.
Of course, the person on the rainbow bridge is not invincible. Saying that if you get hit, you get hit. If you’re unlucky, even a blind arrow will kill you. I lowered my stance by pressing the shail.
I can block as many normal attacks as I can, so I was thinking of checking to see if there was anything unusual on the way.
-Quaaaaaang!
– Kkaaang!
“Oh, what a surprise.”
I frowned at the sudden vibration and roar.
Looking down, I saw a figure who appeared to be a wizard and an imperial army with a blue glowing aura on their bows and arrows.
Oh you can do that with a bow too. I hadn’t dealt with the bow much, so I didn’t know.
-Shyyiik!
-Tup
“It’s pretty good.”
I caught the arrow that flew with the momentum to pierce my head.
The attempt itself was good, but not to this extent. The track is also very honest. Wouldn’t he become a great archer later when his skills are further accumulated and he can use his skills?
As the distance increased, the wizard lowered his staff, probably to conserve magic. Since the road has been pierced, everyone will not be able to avoid punishment.
Still can’t help it. Would I have wanted to go through it head-on? Look up yourself.
“If you made the boundaries looser, you would have quietly passed by.”
“…even nonsense is at a level that high.”
Shile muttered with a disgusted expression, but he ignored it.
I’m serious. There were relatively few guards at the main gate, perhaps because there were a lot of people, but the other side was empty, underground, and full of magic mines, so it was a bit like that.
anyway.
“Looks like a ghost town over there.”
As I climbed the rainbow bridge and soared upward, my vision widened and I saw my destination.
Literally a ghost town. The scale was not large, but the fog that was not suitable for the climate was covering the area.
Is the wriggling moving being a ghost or an undead?
I slightly raised my head. ghost town. If you turn your gaze beyond that, you can see the place.
‘Tower of spirits.’
Several small, gentle bare mountains. Many tombstones visible above it. The surrounding vegetation, including the trees, seems to have changed, perhaps due to the influence of the negative energy.
It’s far away, so I’ll have to look further. First of all, from the ghost town.
-Chulkkeok
-Chulreureuk
I put on the fall line set. Because I don’t know what will happen from here.
Shile was impressed when he saw me.
“This is what Baisa-sama saw…
”
Behind-the-scenes talk was drowned out by the explosion.
I felt the heat behind my back. It was such a powerful blow that my body instantly staggered.
I slowly turned around to check the target I was attacking.
“Oh my.”
We could spot one flying towards us, emitting a glow.
