Chapter 493,
Chapter 137. All had good plans (4), but
not just Aurors. The vast and pure magic was also felt.
“It’s a battle!”
As soon as Difus spoke, the vibration grew stronger. Then, an explosion occurred near the middle floor of the White Night Tower, and a flash of light spread.
It was the kind of explosion the group had seen many times in their lives.
Brilliant colors that don’t come out in fights between knights and knights or wizards and wizards continued to light up the White Night Tower area.
“It’s not a fight between Kingelo and Zipple.”
There’s nothing like friendship at all, but the three brothers from Runkandel who came here all learned the same sword.
“It’s Joshua. He and the Black Knight started a battle with the wizards of Zipple.”
Even without seeing it directly, Jin and Deepus could accurately recognize that the unique destructive aura was the sword of Runcandel.
In addition, the brothers also recognized the owners of magical powers.
‘Wraiths.’
The strongest magic unit of Ziffle, which both of them have experienced firsthand. It was definitely they who were fighting Joshua.
“I don’t know if it was discovered during infiltration or if it was a trap from the beginning, but he fell for it. It seems to be the latter.”
Either way, it was a difficult situation for the group.
‘Looking at the scale, it doesn’t seem like there are many other mages in the 2nd Mage Tower, but it turns out that Joshua and the Black Knight are in the 2nd Mage Tower, so support will come this way as well from Draka!’
This is the headquarters of Zipple.
It meant that there would be no shortage of troops to barely send support to the underground drying field in the Sota Desert.
Besides, the 2 mage tower was much more dangerous than the drying room.
The construction site is just a resource bait thrown to check the ability of external forces, but the real information, the ship blueprint, will exist in the 2 m tower.
‘By the way… it’s a little strange. The magical power that I can feel is about two or three specters. Four at most. Why did you deploy only that many people?’
If Jiple had already predicted that there would be an invasion of the 2nd Mage Tower and was planning to dig traps to catch the biggest fish of the outside forces, if he had tried to punish them all even at the risk of an all-out war.
Now was the best opportunity.
In the Tower of the Midnight Sun in front of them, there should have been a much larger force waiting, rather than two or four spectators.
It wouldn’t be strange at all if Keliac Ziple himself or a figure like Octavia appeared.
However, a few people in the observatory are all.
‘Isn’t this a trap?’
It was not easy to immediately grasp the situation before and after.
But it was time to make a decision.
‘If it’s an obvious trap, it’s right to run away even if you give up the blueprint. If that were the case, Ziffle wouldn’t have left the blueprints for the 2nd Mage Tower either. Besides, even me and Murakan Difus-nim can’t escape against a fully focused Ziffle.’
But what if it’s not a trap?
The reason why only a few people are guarding the White Night Tower is the result of twisted causal relationships that are difficult to calculate right away. What if it was just Zipple’s negligence and mistakes?
What if Joshua had already secured the blueprints and a battle broke out in the process of escaping?
It’s been like that since I came to Sota Desert, but this time Jin felt like his head was going to explode.
It was difficult to even guess how many variables he had experienced so far and how many unexpected situations he would experience in the future.
But one thing was certain.
‘If it’s not today, the opportunity to get Ziffle’s ship blueprints will never come again.’
Just the fact that Runkandel hit not only the dry cellar but also the 2nd mage tower would greatly enhance security regardless of the outcome of this incident.
It’s not another family, it’s the world’s best. It was not a family to make the same mistake.
Soon Jin came to a conclusion.
“…I don’t think it’s a trap, second brother. If we had induced the invasion in the first place, we would have had more troops.”
“It is, but. I’ll take care of it. If it’s not a trap, Joshua, why is that stupid bastard getting caught and disturbing us like this?”
simplicity and honesty!
The middle layer of the 2nd Mage Tower exploded again and fragments fell. The battle continued to rage.
“This is the moment when you need an adventure.”
Jin took a breath and continued talking behind his back.
“Even if it’s not a trap, reinforcements will arrive soon, so it would be a reasonable decision to retreat. We cannot rule out the possibility that Joshua obtained the blueprints.”
Difus nodded.
“I see what you mean.”
“Brother, if you want, you can return now.”
“Youngest, what do you mean? The decision to kill Joshua in the first place was an adventure. Would you think I would fall out now?”
“That’s something I didn’t know.”
“Besides, maybe this is an opportunity. If he has the blueprints, just escape after the fight and kill him to take it. Joshua will definitely get injured in the battle with the Wraith, so he can achieve both goals rather easily. Besides, if it wasn’t for today, I would never get the blueprint.”
Difus was already thinking the same thing as Jin.
The way things went according to his words was by far the best development.
If they had already known that the blueprints did not exist in the 2 Magic Tower vault, neither of them would have made such a judgment.
“Let’s go, maknae Murakan. Save him and we’ll kill him ourselves. Before Zipple’s reinforcements arrive.”
Of course, Zipple’s reinforcements were not the only issues to be aware of.
‘I think it bothers me that they haven’t made much of a standout since the Kingelo Drying Plant terrorism.’
It is not the area that Jin released, but it is blocked by the other barrier and moves slowly, or even though the situation has developed this far, it is still looking for more opportunities.
I looked back for a while. In the distant Sota Desert, a battle was unfolding between Kingelo and Zipple, not only in the underground drying ground, but also on the ground.
‘Looks like you’re looking for an opportunity. But even Kingelo hasn’t achieved what he wanted yet. If so, the terrorists would have started to retreat.’
The three of them were able to reach the entrance of the tower in no time.
The surroundings were full of debris and piles of stones that had fallen from the middle floor where Joshua’s group and the Observers were fighting, but as expected, the other wizards and guards were nowhere to be seen.
Upon entering, the spacious interior unfolded. Whether it was soundproofed with magic or for some other reason, surprisingly, the noise and vibration of the battle could hardly be felt inside.
It also meant that the tower was strong.
If it was a normal building, no matter how big it was, it would have been crushed to dust the moment Joshua and his party started fighting.
“There is not a single worm. Isn’t this enough to have almost thrown away?”
Murakan tilted his head and said. Even seeing Jin and Difus in person, I was puzzled.
It is impossible to guess that the reason why there is no one in the Mage Tower is simply Sandra Ziple’s whim and madness.
There was a huge spiral staircase in the center. There was an elevator in the center, but it was not working.
ran up the stairs
The tower was much higher than it looked from the outside. Even though I was running at full speed, it felt like the middle floor where Joshua and the observatory were located didn’t get close quickly.
That meant Jin and Difus were just as impatient. It was because of the idea that blueprints could be lost during battle.
Fortunately, the party soon felt the vibrations of the battle being transmitted again. It was a signal that the middle layer had been reached.
He opened the tightly closed iron gate.
Seed profit!
The specter was indeed a specter. Even in the middle of a fierce battle, as soon as the door opened, they shot a beam of magic in the direction they were conscious of.
Kwagak-!
The beam was deflected by Difus with the blade of Bolgar’s greatsword.
The wizards of the Wraith were not taken aback and adjusted their ranks to match the increased number of enemies.
The moment they looked at the situation, Jin and Difus had no choice but to grit their teeth.
‘Damn it, it’s four.’
I expected it to be between two and four, but it turned out to be four. Before Jin’s party arrived, Joshua and Jane were fighting four wraiths.
Jin’s party approached Joshua. He was a little out of breath, but not seriously injured.
The problem was on the Black Knight Jane side.
It wasn’t a serious injury, but there was a lot of bleeding because of the large and small wounds spread all over the body. There were also a few deep wounds that could be fatally wounded at any time.
If it was 2 vs 2, even the black knight would have to risk his life against the four wraiths.
More than anything else, this was the land of Ziffle, and that was also inside the Mage Tower.
Using the magic tower’s special device or energy, it was possible for the Wraith to use stronger magic than originally.
Jane’s wound was, without a doubt, the result of protecting Joshua.
Of course, as a black knight, it is natural to seek the next head of the family, but isn’t the current Joshua the real body?
‘Does the Black Knight not know that the current Joshua is a clone? damn it The family’s best manpower was being sacrificed to protect his alter ego.’
My stomach was boiling and I wanted to slit my throat right away. Not a duplicate, but the head of the original body.
But even in the midst of that, Jin did not miss a single fact.
‘Joshua hasn’t got the blueprints yet. No matter how cowardly he is, the evaluation of the second brother is not completely wrong. If he had obtained it, he would somehow block this place, so he would have told the Black Knight to escape with the blueprint.’
Although hidden behind a mask, Joshua must have had a puzzled yet happy face.
The expression on his face stemmed from the fact that the information monopoly on the 2nd Mage Tower was clearly exposed, that Jin and his party had arrived earlier than expected, and that thanks to that, the tide of battle could be turned around.
“4 bases 12 bases.”
“No, but this bastard doesn’t say hello to me again? Hey can’t you see uh? Can you pierce the eyes?”
“…And Mr. Murakan. The situation will be explained later…”
“No need for 2 riders.”
Jin cut off Joshua’s words and drew his sword.
“Instead, tell me the location of the blueprints right away. I will tell you in advance that if you refuse, you may be held liable for obstruction of duty and summarily executed. You know very well that I do not speak empty words.”
