Haroon

"Bloody Etemenanki"

After a short time, Serpa comes back with the figures from the tower and three of his men.

“Well done!”

“No, we didn't do anything difficult. ”

That's what they said, but they didn't look so good. Serpa smiles at people's concerns as if they were fine.

“What's going on? ”

“It's nothing. Wagons were attacking while they were collecting all the Manassites and clearing the magic circle. ”

“Are you okay? ”

Harun looks back at their behavior with a surprised face.

“We only dealt with a few. Most of the horses were handled by the burrows. The storm crew risked their lives to protect us, so we didn't take any damage. ”

It turned out that the three men standing outside the barracks weren't talking. The defensive gear is torn and the blood is clear.

Harun's gaze settles on them, and Fatu grimaces as he looks fiercely.

“We're fine. No, that's okay. Broulf and Ramby killed most of them, and we only dealt with ten. And the wizards killed them with terrifying magic. ”

Thank goodness. It was a big mistake not to have a thorough response strategy on horses. If it wasn't for the Bertrovs, there would have been unexpected damage.

I'll get you the jerky later! If Hersh hadn't lent us the Virtuviks, we'd be in trouble. ’

Harun sends them to Remi and looks at the massive building, where he has worked hard for three men, including the hard-working Fatu.

“They called this building Ziggurat. ”

“Ziggurat?”

Everyone looks like they've never heard of it, but Bernhard tilts his head as if he knew something.

“Bernhard, what do you know? ”

Bernhard opened his mouth for a moment after asking Harun's question.

“From what I understand, that's an architecture called Etemannki. ”

Suddenly, Bernhart's mouth interjects with the story, revealing the identity of a strange building.

“Etemenanki?”

Taniella tilts her head in an unfamiliar name.

“Yes, Lord Taniella. Before the ancient La Empire opened its empire, there were many such buildings on the continent. ”

“Oh! An ancient relic. ”

The wizards' eyes sparkle with curiosity. Harun also looks at Bernhard with interesting eyes.

“Legend has it that the ancient times were a time of magic, when the horses used to play the role of kingdoms. That means that wizards ruled a country. Before the arrival of the La Empire, the level of magic was not yet high, but it was said that various enchantments had developed at the time that could not be different from those of the La Empire. ”

Interesting story. No one here knows anything about that history.

“Of course, it was less than the era of the La Empire, but it was nothing compared to the present world. It was a time when sacred power was classified as a kind of magical power, and there were a lot of the castles that were now the Temples. ”

“Oh! Interesting. ”

Bernhard glares at Serpa's reaction and continues to speak again.

“At the time, the towers were naturally bounded by mountains and rivers, most of which were built on flat plains and ruled the area. They have set up numerous relay bases in the realm to effectively dominate large and small territories and large numbers of people, like the current empire and empire, and to use magical power without undue force. A brick staircase was erected at the center of the relay base, and the ancient people called it Etemenanki. The bases correspond to the current castle or city, where they built, without exception, the enormous, stepped structure on the fifth or seventh floors of bricks, Etemenki. We built a spire at the top of Etemenanki, and built the finest manacles and enchantments into them to create a barrier to defend the region, as well as ensure communication between the regions. Instead, in the case of large towers, they built an enormous, nine-story high Etemenanki and placed on the top floor important buildings, including temples and communication facilities. ”

Harun, who listened to Bernhard, once heard a similar story, but couldn't remember exactly.

‘I think I've heard that story in real life. ’

In the meantime, Bernhard's explanation continued.

“Etemenanki allowed humans living within the realm of a tower to share information and comment on the footage in real time. It's an incredible thing that you wouldn't dream of doing at the current level of magic. It was the political system that the wizard ruled at the time, but the wizards were worshipped as gods, and the education system was aimed at whole-hearted education so that anyone could learn anything they wanted. ”

“Phew! What a dream. ”

Bernhard's words were also a sympathetic face.

“Yes. Legend has it that many people were born with the qualities of Mana because Mana was more dense than ever before. Magic is rapidly evolving because of those qualities, well-groomed education systems, and stable social systems that have bordered mountains and rivers, with no war between humans except for monsters for hundreds of years. ”

It was unbelievable. As Bernhard also said to be a legend, such a society was hard to achieve even in the developed world of politics.

“But since the small but progressive Martha called Marso has found a way to use these Etemenankies to create a vast enchantment, chaos has begun. Marco Martyrs used a vast enchantment to attack other horses across mountains and rivers that had naturally formed boundaries, and one of the attack spells they used was called Meteor Summon Magic. The area of the tower that was attacked by the magic attack was so devastated that there was no trace of it at all. This Marco Martyr absorbs and captures other towers at a rapid rate, expanding their territory, but others have also formed alliances and collaboratively studied them to develop large-scale attack magic or defensive magic that competitively uses the Etemenankies for a period of time when they cannot invade each other. After hundreds of years of uneasy peacekeepers, because powerful magic had been developed that invaded other towers and only destroyed each other, they began to use mana to improve human innate physical abilities or accumulate mana inside humans to express it externally. And there was a lot of dark magic, like the chimeric recipe. And it turned out to be remarkable, and that's what led to the emergence of Export-level articles capable of expressing Mana, using the refined Mana error. ”

It was a complete historical story. It was a legend, but it was also a story with enough probability.

“The advent of dark magic, which can be used by knights and undead to fight magic with error, has changed the nature of warfare that has only used distance magic so far. Breaking through the boundaries across a vast area was not difficult for those with errors to use. Their emergence soon brought about a great war of conquest. The horses that had already been bred by spies from each other throughout the generations had soon been bred by knights and black wizards into war, and the continent was immediately engulfed by telephone and turned into a living hell. Thousands of horses were destroyed, millions, not millions, killed by war, sickness and hunger. At that time, La Martha, a follower of the sun god, appeared. The five heroes ahead of the human race took the towers by force, and within 30 years they unified the continent. The gods that the other towers believed in were in the temple dedicated with the sun god Ra, and the towers were absorbed under the name La Martha. This began the era of Ra's Empire, called the Great Sun Empire, and the world came to a time of true peace that lasted thousands of years. ”

“That's a great story. ”

The wizards, as well as those who heard about Bernhard, did not hide their surprised faces. I didn't realize such history would be hidden in the era of the La Empire, when I thought all the texts were ancient civilizations far superior to this world.

“I was very impressed with Lord Bernhard's high opinion. ”

Bernhard's face flushes as people praise him.

“Haha! This story is from a book that interprets the inscriptional text carved on a memorial stone discovered by the Master of our Deep Blue Tower, who sought truth more than 300 years ago and explored the land of Silence. In deciphering the magic obtained from the land of tranquility this time, it was revealed by a new ancient language. ”

People thought it was a deep blue tower. It was the Deep Blue Tower with its history.

“Then let's quickly investigate that Etemenanki. ”

The wizards are excited. I've always wondered what the mysterious architecture of the ancient civilization contains, Etemenanki. For wizards craving new and high knowledge, the five-story brick structure stacked on a staircase came to a whole new look.

Harun decides to investigate Etemenanki with the others, but he can't move on. Lemi ran to the barracks.

“Commander, an old man wants to see you. I think they're residents here. ”

“Old people?”

It has been some time since the battle ended, and I was expecting people who were hiding in the house to come out. But if anyone finds themselves, it was Palon who thought it was first.

“Should I bring him in? ”

“No, we'll go ourselves. Where are you?”

“They're gathering by the well. About 10, I think. ”

Harun leaves the barracks without delay. Everyone was curious and followed behind him to the well west of the square.

“Faylon!"

Harun was able to find Palon's face among the people gathering by the well. Palone was so miserable that she thought Lemi was an old man that she saw in bright sunlight because the dark aura around the castle and the pale clouds that were always floating in the sky disappeared.

“Commander, you finally made it! ”

Palon's skeleton-like face rushes to Harun, wet and wet. The people who were with him were no different from Palon. The villagers, looking awkward and pathetic, with their skeletons exposed, are watching the group with mixed eyes of anxiety and expectation.

“This is all because of Palon. With the right information, we were able to defeat the wicked without further harm. Ah! Could you introduce them first? ”

Harun catches the anxious wavering eyes of the people.

Palon escorts Harun's group to the well.

“These are my representatives of the people here. ”

Representatives who appeared to be elderly were filled with thick wrinkles and black faces shaking with fear, and their exposed hands and feet were dry as if they had been covered in raw skin.

“I am Harun, commander of the gale mercenaries who was asked by the imperial court to find the whereabouts of the missing. Nice to meet you.”

Harun introduced himself politely, and the elders' eyes shook severely.

“Am I really Captain Harun, the hero of the famous gale mercenary? ”

“Palon was right. ”

The thick wrinkles on people's blackened faces were shaken by extreme horror.

“Yes. This is the bracelet of a mercenary commander who proves my identity. ”

Harun can't figure out the reason for the shaky elderly's attitude, but he sticks out his wrist with a soft face. At dawn, one of the villagers, Palon, cautiously approached, removed the bracelet from his arm, checking what was written on the inside, and opened his eyes wide.

“... I mean it! It really is Captain Harun! ”

In the words of one elderly man, a shocking light flashed across the faces of the other elderly people.

“Are you really here to find us? You made a request from the Imperial Court? ”

“Yes.”

Harun smiles softly.

“Let me introduce you to our group. ”

Harun said, "Introduce me," but there was someone who went first.

“I am Illum, deputy commander of the Knights of the Pyrin Empire! ”

“Oh! I am Pallun, commander of the 7th and 8th Special Forces, of the Imperial Southern Fleet. I've heard of the general's decency. It's an honor to meet you. Chung!”

Palon looks impressed and raises his salute with his unarmed right hand in front of his chest.

“... Good job! ”

The room was choked in reverence. My heart was overwhelmed by the sight of a soldier who had turned to the shape of a Figol, but still felt the weather of a soldier. Mills Thread and Town, who were standing behind them, bit their lips tightly.

The foundation of the Pyrin Empire was the northern army that fought monsters and barbarians in the Northern Meadow, so it was famous for its uphill and close-knit relations instead of strict.

The Imperial Army was not entirely Faylon. Many of them were representatives of the Empire Army.

“Chung! I'm Chief Hans of the 8th Special Forces of the 7th Regiment, Imperial Troops Southwest. ”

“Chung! Senior Soldier Vail of the 7th and 4th Special Forces of the Imperium Southwest." ”

Citizens from the Imperial Army salute Illum in a bickering tour.

“Gentlemen, thank you for surviving! ”

Illum eventually shed tears, being saluted. Thinking about the mission of protecting the soldiers who had survived to the end and the hard work, I felt unbearable from the bottom of my chest.

“Ugh!”

“It was. His Majesty commissioned the gale mercenaries to find slaves like us. ”

The remaining three residents hugged each other with tears.

It turned out that there was a sign of forced slavery on their foreheads, which was made of pharynx within a month of birth. They wept deeply at the fact that they had not forgotten themselves in the imperial court of the Pyrin Empire and had commissioned their famous gale mercenaries.

Harun waits for them to calm down without saying a word. I didn't know what they were feeling, but I couldn't touch them because it seemed like they were moved.

“Commander Harun, I'd like to spend some time alone with my old henchmen. ”

“Go ahead.”

Probably doesn't want everyone to know about military secrecy. Even if it wasn't, there would be something that only soldiers can do. There were people who could hear the situation even if they weren't.

Illum and the two knights moved some distance with the inhabitants from the Imperial Army.

“Now, calm down and have some tea. ”

It was quick to notice that Henny had brought the car.

Later, people steal tears with their dirty sleeves and put the Omicha prepared by Henny on their mouths. Omicha, which has a variety of flavors, introduced itself one by one to people who were momentarily out of their senses.

“I'm Alcan from Omir territory. ”

“I am Ter, a peasant in the baron's estate. ”

“I, too, have been a blacksmith's slave in the baron of Serbaldo. ”

Everyone who introduced themselves furiously was from slavery. Those were now from the southern territories where the new Theon Empire was built. As I looked at it again, it only looked like forty years old because of the intensive labor.

“What happened? ”

Harun brings up the question that has been put off. Then Alcan, the first of the three, opened his mouth again.

“We escaped after hearing rumors that the Pyrin Empire would allow slaves like us to live as well as humans. One by one, I fled with my family and gathered at Fort Matsurut, on the way to the Pyrin Empire. The soldiers guarding the fortress confirmed that the rumors we had heard were true. I saw that Emperor Pinoze had made slaves like us commoners and abandoned the noble system, and I saw that he was giving away certain lands so that slaves like us could settle, and I was happy to live forever. ”

The word of the alkane continues.

When they reached 10,000 units, an army of about 500 from the empire set out to escort them to the Empire. Even though it was a few high mountains, I didn't worry about it because it was a safe road that had been constantly moving.

“It was when I crossed the Devil Mountains and entered the edge of Mats Plain. Suddenly, the sky became cloudy and the air became strange, and the soldiers who were escorting us fell down, going back and forth. Among us are the fallen, starting with children and women, and then suddenly, even the robust young people started to fall. The knights and wizards with the ability to fly in the sky tried to take care of the soldiers, shouting, but soon after, they collapsed like us. ”

“Poison!”

Taniella's words at your side make Alcan nod his head loudly. With reverence, Alcan sees a wizard's unique robe wrapped around his armor.

“The Wizard is right. I knew that because I had been a slave to herb gathering and hunting in the palace. Luckily, I also belonged to the Herbal Guild, so I took my usual antidote in a hurry. But I was conscious that it was a little late, but I couldn't move my body. Because I could see and hear, I could see what was happening unlike other people. ”

Soon after everyone collapsed, the alkanes noticed a large number of people approaching them.

“Well, they weren't people. The only monsters I ever heard of were the skeletons that were cut off. And there were people controlling those skeletons. Black wizards known to have vanished from the world, knights in black armor, and warriors in black hard leather. They took a wagon somewhere, and they started stacking people who had fallen like they were luggage in a wagon. And it was here that I arrived on the wagon. ”

“Hmm. So they're all here, then? ”

The question was because the number of people here was different from the number no matter how big they held it.

“No, only about 1,000 people have come here. ”

The people who were brought here were enslaved again by dozens of Black Wizards. Their job was to build farms and build castles, but they brought the Dwarves to design where they had captured them, and people had suffered hard labor.

‘Then the rest of the people are divided and mobilized to build castles like this one. So there are at least ten castles like this one. ’

“Have you ever heard of why they build castles in places like this? ”

“No, I have no idea. We were just like animals, eating two meals a day, farming as they told us to, making bricks and building walls. Even if I walked away, I could not escape because the black wizards had died miserably by the horses that were taming me. ”

Alcan wept bitterly since he had suffered so much, and the other two turned their eyes wide open.

“As that strange building climbed to the fifth floor, more and more black wizards were experimenting with killing people who had fallen to death, turning them into zombies and ghouls, and placing their legs of magic on the bodies of children. ”

“Hic! Hic! The damned black wizards raped young and young women every night, poisoned the living, and laughed and enjoyed their painful deaths as their flesh rotted. Our family members, who became ghouls, chewed up the entire corpse of their dead colleagues or family members and drank their blood, and the souls of those who died did not return to Myos' arms, but became skeletons. ”

“1,000 people are only halfway there. That's just like us... * Sobbing * ”

Suddenly, three people were wailing.

"Hmph!"

Harun closes his eyes tightly. It was good to see what tragedy unfolded here. A fist tightly clenched without knowing it.

"Bastards! Demons who can't live under the same sky! ’

I don't know why reality or beings like Beyond and the Devil live in such a rush. Let's just say that the reality of God's existence is deniable, but I don't know what's wrong with Beyond's world that there are so many gods. If there is a God, shouldn't we at least let these innocent lives die horribly?

“As long as there is a god? Is it a sin to want to live like a human being? ”

No one could answer Alcan's cry for heaven, whether his emotions were getting too intense. Among the priests of the Temple of Light who were gathered a little distance, it caught my attention that the saint who was standing with his red face was trying to open his mouth in a hurry.

“Calm down. The Black Wizards are dead now." The Dark Knights and the soldiers, as well as the ghouls and skeletons that the Black Wizards created. Fortunately, we have the priests who accompanied us, so we will be able to observe a ritual to give rest to the spirits who wander here unfairly. ”

Harun's words only calmed the three of them down. They were too used to resigning because they had lived their whole lives as slaves and experienced countless and unimaginable depravities.

Harun felt sorry for those who calmed down so easily. They were not allowed to feel free to provoke their anger. It had lived as a tamed animal that could be trained with peace of mind like a lifelong tool.

“Please go back and reassure the others. ”

“Well, thank you. Thank you so much for saving our lives. ”

The three of them were only able to say thank you. To this extent, they were obsessed with the fears of the Black Wizards.

“Donnes!"

“Yes! Shall we prepare a meal? ”

Donnes, who was quick to notice, already knew what Harun wanted to say. For those who have not eaten proper food and have suffered from various kinds of labor and persecution, the first thing to do is to provide delicious food that regains their energy.

“Take your men and search the food warehouse. If things don't work out, we use ours. ”

“Don't worry. ”

Donneis responded with a vigorous voice and ran toward those who were listening to the story, with a few members of the Aka clan gathered around the elderly. They must know where the food warehouse is.

“Henny and Remy, when people come out, go around looking for people who are hurt or sick and treat them. Lord Taniella and Lord Myrus, please take a look at those with severe symptoms. ”

Taniella, with a stiff face, rushes to the crowd with three men.

“We'll help, too. ”

Serpa and the Wizards went out. Resting was important, but they felt strong compassion for the missing.

“I'd appreciate it if you would. ”

Harun thanked them, and the wizards bowed down and followed after Taniella.

Harun's gaze settles on the holy woman, and she nods. The members of the Temple of Light had already heard all the stories, even though they were pretty far away.

“I will perform the ritual of placing the souls of the wrongfully dead into rest. ”

“Thank you."

“You're welcome. Sometimes I wonder if Leah is with us and I resent her. ”

The saint hated the word of the saint, but the other priests and paladins were moving to build an altar to spread consciousness without saying a word.

“Commander, take the rest of the crew and search for any survivors. ”

“Very well. Let's go! ”

Tino starts searching the castle with the rest of the Aka. Dylan follows behind without a word. If the Black Wizard was still alive and hiding, Tino and his crew could be in danger.

Harun heads to a pile of corpses and bones on one side of the square as people focus on their work. A pile of ghoul corpses and skeletons that have now turned into bones, evidencing intense combat.

‘May they never be used by the Black Wizards again...' ’

Harun summons Phoenix. Phoenix, who is in the shape of a much larger firebird than before, is unable to give a happy thought to Harun's heavy and sad heart and waits for his doctor to tell him.

- Can we turn this stuff into powder?

- It's easy.

- Yeah, I hope so.

When a bright white flame came out of Phoenix's mouth that spread its wings, everything in sight turned to powder in an instant. Previously, it was a white flame, but now it seems to be a faint blue and white flame.

Harun roamed the castle with the Phoenix and burned the ghouls and bones to the ground so that they would no longer be used by the Black Wizards. Phoenix's flame temperature was so high that it didn't take long.

Harun clears away the mess and hears the bell as he just sends Phoenix back.

Ding, ding! Ding!

“Come and eat! Tons of delicious meat stew and white wheat bread! ”

Harun smiles at Donnes' voice, shouting from afar. I was about to get hungry because the fierce battle was over and I was starting to relax.

The first floor of a massive structure, called Etemenanki, houses and warehouses of dark wizards and warriors belonging to the Darkness, as well as the second floor.

On the third floor, there is only one door in each direction, and the town in front of it opens a door and quickly frowns and sprints back.

“Grrrgh!"

Town vomits as it catches its nose. Afterwards, those who looked inside the open door distorted their faces.

“Bastards!”

“They will be punished! ”

On the third floor of Etemenanki, there was a view of what could be called hell. People with limbs cut off, monsters, and horses were all tangled up in a state of insanity. There was no one who was trying to make chimeras that kept their shapes intact.

Without even hemostasis at the cut site, the black frozen blood inside was clogged and filled with a dreadful stench that was excreted by the dreaded insides of the bloodstains and neglected creatures. Not only that, there were maggots in the nearly decaying cut area.

The saints and many others held the wall and vomited, or closed their eyes and shook their fists. I can clearly see why the Black Wizards are evil. The Black Wizards were vicious creatures who looked at people not only as humans, but as toys and test subjects.

None of the people here had not seen the body, but the earthenware on the third floor was unnatural. Everyone gave up looking at the distorted face, but the saint went inside.

She vomits through the abyss to find a living person.

“Ugh! Ugh! No one. They're all dead! ”

She looks like a madman with tears, her limbs cut out and she sees the beating heart of the bodies. Harun lightly vomited a few times and went inside smelling the sour gastric fluid.

The boots quickly became dirty because of the blood, and I almost slipped a few times, but I went inside and forced the half-sober saint to take me out.

“Go up to the fourth floor first. ”

At Harun's words, Dylan takes a long sigh and heads up the stairs to the fourth floor.

“No! We need to give him a ritual. ”

The girl who had been sober for a while took a few steps under the support of the saint, and finally came to her senses and cried out in a loud voice.

“Please do so. who lived a poor, pathetic life. ”

In Harun's words, the saints and priests all sat down at the entrance to the third floor. For a moment, he prayed in a low voice, and a sacred swarm of light began to leak from his two hands. The swarms of light coalesce together, shifting to the size of a headache, and headed toward the fierce interior. Then, I slowly returned, wrapping around the bodies of the dead, limbs cut off.

Is that so? The view of the interior, like hell, seems to have cleared up a bit. The grim energy seemed to have disappeared somewhat, and it seemed that the souls who were filled with vengeance and anger stayed here.

“That's enough! ”

The girl stumbled and barely woke up. Robb, the paladin who was waiting, carefully lifts her up. Given the powerless status of the vandals, they appear to be exerting considerable divine power.

When they disappeared into the stairwell leading to the fourth floor, Harun summoned Phoenix.

- Phoenix, get out!

Phoenix came back, but he didn't look so good. As a spirit that is bound to Harun, I feel the same way about him.

- Should I burn it all?

- Yeah, all the blood.

Phoenix released a clear white flame that burned all the bodies that were inside and all the blood that was hardening on the walls and floor at once. Only grey bone dust remained in the room.

- Wishine, blow these bone dust to the sky.

-Okay.

Powder burnt through a small window that barely exited the wall came out with the edge of Wishin's clothing. Then he flew to the distant plains.

‘May you live forever. ’

I do not have the ability to purify my soul and enter the rest like a saint, but I pray that I can do anything to help the souls who will die unfairly.

Fortunately, there was nothing horrible on the fourth floor. It was filled with experimental utensils, weapons, and other unknown materials. It was only when Harun arrived that people hesitated to open the door because of the inferno on the third floor.

“These are the ingredients used to draw the Black Magic Jinn. ”

“The ones on this shelf here are used for spells. ”

Taniella and Remi, who went inside first, uncover their identity.

“It's all evidence of dark magic, so Frost can save the footage here and take it with his crew. ”

“I understand.”

Frost still had a pale face and began to cast a storage spell by pulling out the video storage device from his arms. Frost, who had quickly picked up a shining crystal bead and stored it meticulously in the room, began to contain what was in the room in a magical backpack that he had brought in advance with the help of the Arcadian crew. All of this will be evidence of the appearance of the Black Wizards' Dagger.

The fifth floor did not have space unlike the other floors. However, the spire that had risen high in the sky was replacing it. I expected something special, but there was nothing but a tower. However, the wizards showed great interest in the symbols engraved on the spire.

“Commander, I'm sure the sorcery used in the ancient times. Unlike the magic that we're using today, it's a kind of magic that uses the concept of core. ”

Taniella whispers in secret, looking carefully at the four ends of the spire and the walls on each end. I wanted to ask you something, but I didn't think I could understand the answer, so I gave up and asked you something else.

“Can you figure out what the outcome will be? ”

“I'm not sure. The pattern and the number of tiny manacles embedded in the core don't seem to be one magician, they seem to overlap or link more than ten magicians together. I think I've seen some similar magic groups, but I can't think of any right now. I want you to save the Magic Guild footage and study it later. ”

Perhaps it will give us a clue as to the plot Darkness is plotting in Beyond.

“What's a miniature manatee? ”

“If you look closely at the markings on the tip of the spire, there are small stones the size of narrows. There was something suspicious, so I took a closer look at it, and it was emitting Mana through the pattern continuously and stably. That must have been a miniature mannequin that was used in the La Empire era as well. ”

Interesting. Manasik, which was used only by ancient civilizations and ancient civilizations, is artificial Manasik. Even the magical self is interested, but a wizard can't help but be interested.

“You don't need a whole spire, do you? ”

“Of course not. It should be easy to restore with saved footage and a miniature Manasik. ”

“You two should take the trouble to find out what's important. ”

“Leave it to us. I don't know what magic is, but not many wizards surpass us in the magic world. ”

Taniella is confident. Taniella steps aside as the people of the tower, imperial court, and the Temple of Rain approach Harun.

“Commander, I don't think there's much here. What do you do?" ”

Others' attention was drawn to Harun because of what Illum said.

“I think this spire is doing something that we don't know about. I don't know about the other floors, but I think we should get rid of this steeple. ”

“I think so, too. I can't feel the evil energy, but I feel something dangerous and ominous. ”

The saint agreed with Harun. But there were others who had other opinions. Serpa.

“The crest on the steeple looks like some kind of magic jewel. I think it's a different kind of magic that we're using right now, and I'd like to study it. ”

Bernhard also supported Serpa's opinion.

“That's right. A magician with a passion to study in many ways. ”

The two of them were unaware of the existence of a tiny artificial mannequin that Taniella had noticed. But it didn't have to be said. These are their clients, after all. Soon the rest of the wizards gather, minus Taniella and Myrus. They all have a strong interest in the existence of strange magicians.

The wizards, in turn, gave up the idea of wanting to study the sorcerers. It was almost 20 minutes after I listened to everyone's opinions like many wizards who knew.

“I'm in favor of destroying this place like the commander said. Just looking at you makes me feel bad and irritated. ”

Illum also agreed with Harun.

Harun saw that Taniella and Mirus had collected all the artificial mannequins secretly, using the Fly magic. He saw the two of them secretly join behind the wizards with a smiling face.

“I listened to the wizards. But it's too dangerous to let it go unless we can figure out what magic does. Your video storage magic will do the research, so I'm just going to smash it. ”

The Serpas and the Wizards were a sad sight, but they had no further opinions. After seeing the tragedy on the third floor, they also felt that the building and the steeple were being squashed.

Once the decision was made, the wizards contended and saved the magic magic text engraved on the spire as video storage magic.

“Everyone downstairs. Just in case, Lord Taniella and Myrus cast a shield spell. Sir Dylan, please. ”

At Harun's request, Dylan draws his sword without a word, and the men battle their way downstairs. Dylan finds people missing and puts as much Mana into his sword as he can.

Hrrrrrrr!

A sharp blade pierces through the blade.

“Thyat!”

Boom, boom, boom! Boom!

The explosion erupts wherever the blade's trajectory reaches. As if an unusual sorcerer was protecting them, the blades did not break quickly, but they could not withstand the sword master intermediate error blades without the Manasik missing.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The spire shatters completely after ten more blasts.

“This spire itself is a monster. I can't believe you survived a full-scale assault like this. ”

Dylan glances back at Harun with a blade. He looks a little bored.

“Good work, Lord. Go down. I'll finish up. ”

Harun, who sent Dylan down, looks at the shattered spire with a sharp eye. Harun, who had summoned Wisyne to make a shield and stopped the flying debris, noticed that there were not many debris.

‘Empty inside. So there was a hidden door that wasn't exposed, and there was a hidden room. Too bad.’

But the spire was already completely destroyed.

What is that? ’
