EP.212 Reunion (7)
The first gray magic tower lord, Armiel.
His accomplishments are fully decorated, from the entrance of the gray magic tower to the exhibition hall located on the top floor of the magic tower.
From the lowest position to the highest position.
From the moment they step into the Gray Magic Tower to the moment they leave… the wizards of the Magic Tower realize the magnitude of the achievements of the first Magic Tower owner.
And, the same goes for Raniel van Trias.
The more power you gain and the higher you head to the magic tower, the more you realize how great of a person the first magic tower lord was.
‘Unbreakable.’
Even after hundreds of years have passed, the monumental tower built by the first Magic Tower owner does not seem likely to be broken. The question arises as to whether it is possible to achieve a feat that surpasses him.
‘That’s why it’s worth the challenge.’
Raniel thought so when he was young.
When he was sitting in the position of the next Magic Tower owner, Raniel would spend the week ending at the Gray Magic Tower’s exhibition hall. Looking at the first Mage Tower Lord’s robe hanging there, Raniel strengthened his resolve.
‘It surpasses the first Mage Tower Lord.’
Establish achievements that no one can surpass.
We are building a monumental tower even taller than the monumental tower built by the legendary first magic tower owner. Become a wizard who will be remembered for a long time to come.
That was Raniel’s goal.
The first Magic Tower Lord’s robe hanging in the exhibition hall was a symbol of longing for Raniel and a kind of mirror in which he could picture himself in the distant future.
therefore.
Very meaningful.
It was something I very much wanted.
Something I cherished very, very very much.
Although I was a little disappointed to learn that the first Magic Tower owner was an ‘old elf’, I still had a desire for that robe.
And, by chance, Raniel had the opportunity to try on the robe.
How happy were you when you put on the robe?
How long has it been since you were greedy for clothes?
Perhaps, it was the first time.
Every time I looked in the mirror, a bright smile would escape me, and every time I walked and saw the fluttering sleeves of my clothes, I would somehow feel better. Just imagining myself wearing the robe felt like a dream come true.
And now.
Raniel is blinking blankly.
What you are looking at is a piece of cloth held in your hand.
Raniel’s pupils were shaking violently as he looked at a piece of pure white cloth that looked like it had been cut by a knife. Worse than ever.
“ah.”
I reached out my hand and smoothed the back of my neck.
I feel something empty in my hand as I hold the cloth bundled up at the nape of my neck. I should have had a little more feeling of my fingers wrapping around, but there wasn’t that.
‘No way, no way, no way…’
I try my best to deny reality, but it is an impossible story. When I pulled the hat and pressed it tightly to my head, I could see that the area was completely insufficient.
A cut piece of cloth.
A hat from an empty robe.
Raniel’s lips open and close repeatedly. Her shoulders were shaking as she lowered her head. Eventually, when Raniel lifted her head… what was contained in her blue eyes was deep, deep anger.
“You idiot…”
A trembling voice.
“You, you, you dog…”
A rough breathing sound that can be felt in every gap between syllables.
“———, ———!”
Kyle’s eyes wavered for a moment at the harsh language that came out of Raniel’s mouth. Realizing that there were many different types of swear words in the world, Kyle inadvertently took a step back.
“Take it back! It’s a dog to return it! ”
“Well, what do you mean?”
Raniel rushes in.
Kyle stepped back in an awkward posture, unable to raise the holy sword or let go.
“Rob. 로브, 개새끼야! “Robe!”
It was a cry that felt extremely angry.
* * *
Kyle feels quite confused as he sees the girl running towards him. Only when she didn’t know her identity did she swing her holy sword at random… but now the situation was a little different.
Rania van Trias.
Kyle remembers the girl’s name.
This girl left an impression on me from their first meeting, and she belongs to the same family as him. In her, Kyle senses traces of her old colleague.
‘Are you sure it’s not him?’
Although the number of times they meet each other is only a handful, Kyle feels familiar with the girl. She feels like meeting a colleague she has been with for a very long time.
Raniel and Rania.
Star whispers in Kyle’s ear that the two are still separate people. Kyle can’t think of doubting Star’s voice. He just looked at the rushing girl with narrowed eyes.
‘How to behave.’
Now that he has seen her face, Kyle cannot bear to swing the holy sword at the girl. It’s because she feels rejected for some reason.
Sigh.
In the end, Kyle grabs the girl’s wrist, risking some injury. Even though her wrists were slender, her ribs where she had been hit while holding them were very painful.
“Let go.”
“······.”
“I told you to let go.”
The girl purred. Her eyes are wide open and her teeth are grinding together as if she is going to bite me at any moment. When she lifted her leg back, she kicked Kyle in the shin.

Wow!
A loud noise came from Kyle’s shin. It had a delicate appearance, and its kick was quite spicy. Kyle furrowed his eyebrows slightly.
“First, let’s talk…”
“f*ck you.”
As I held on to both wrists, unable to do anything, the girl’s lips began to move. And, in Kyle’s opinion, it was never a move to recite ‘ordinary language’.
“■···.”
Condensed language.
Something called an order language.
Wild mana begins to rush around the girl. She looks like she’s going to blow herself up if I don’t let go of her wrist right away. The momentum of her rushing mana was unusual.
Tup.
Fortunately, the spell language was never pronounced until the end. This was because someone had covered the girl’s mouth with his hand. Both of Kyle’s hands are used to hold the girl’s wrists. So who?
“stop.”
It was a silver-haired elf who had been quietly watching the situation.
“Would you feel relieved if you broke all the pillars? These pillars are also relics. “It’s a relic, you kid…”
Thirty-seven pillars.
The elf let out a long sigh, pointing to the only fifteen pillars left.
“Stop it…”
The landlord, who could not stand the violence of the thugs who were wreaking havoc in his hometown, took action to stop them.
2.
I was thinking of leaving it alone for the most part.
Neither of them were truly fighting to kill each other, and Cardi also knew well that Raniel had deep emotional rift with his former colleague.
‘So, I was thinking of leaving you to fight until you feel relieved…’
There is absolutely no way to do it in moderation.
In the first place, I ended up wondering if I had made a mistake in expecting something reasonable from that guy.
The basement of the church is a mess.
The thirty-seven pillars that Gleria was proud of now only have fifteen left.
“I’m going to turn…”
Cardi sighed and looked around.
“So, that person…”
“···Savior of the elves?”
“Yes, an ancient elf. “That person is trustworthy…”
If you look around, you can see the shrine diligently explaining the situation to the hero. Then, when he makes eye contact with her, Shingung slightly lowers his head.
Nod.
The eyes look like they are asking you to leave it to them.
The effect of the dozens of minutes of sermon seemed quite evident. Cardi shifts his gaze, expecting that the situation will not turn out to be that complicated.
‘the problem is···.’
A corner of the field of vision.
‘It must be that guy.’
The figure of Raniel squatting down and spreading his robe on the floor comes into Cardi’s field of vision. She continues to fumble with the cut off hat part of her robe.
“···Phew.”
He sighs silently and lowers his head with a sullen expression, then enters again and repeatedly glares at the warrior with a resentful look. It’s been a while since that happened.
‘Actually, the torn robe is mine.’
Why is that guy getting angrier?
‘Even if you knew it, you wouldn’t know it.’
Cardi sighed and shook her head. Still, with him in such a state, it seemed like the story wouldn’t progress.
Trudging.
Cardi walked up to Raniel’s side and tapped him on the shoulder. Raniel lifted his head and looked up at Cardi.
“···why?”
“Just take the cloth. “I will repair it later.”
“Is it possible to repair it?”
“Then why not? It was a robe to begin with, a robe that had been torn several times during the trip. “It was just so neatly repaired that there were no traces left.”
Raniel’s eyes became a little brighter.
“…Are you really going to do it?”
“I will do it. “I knew what trouble I would have to go through if I didn’t do it…”
Only then did Raniel stand up, shaking his knees. And then, very naturally, I wrapped the robe around my shoulders.
‘···It’s not good to get it back.’
Cardi sighed and walked forward with Raniel. To be more precise, to the hero who was talking to the shrine.
“······.”
Kyle Torben.
A warrior who received the strongest starlight of his time and a warrior with the greatest talent. He looks at Cardi. Cardi also looked at Kyle.
“…Did you say Cardi, the savior of the elves?”
“It’s a grand name. “Call me Cardi.”
“Can I ask one thing?”
Kyle asks a question.
“Haven’t we met somewhere before? To be exact, when I was a little younger.”
Cardi’s eyes narrowed.
‘Even though my memories have been lost, I feel like I’m feeling a sense of déjà vu. Or maybe I just have a good feeling.’
Before Kyle awakened as a warrior, Cardi had encountered Kyle. Because he had once brought Kyle and Raniel, who had been hunting in the square, to the store.
Raniel chose to become self-reliant.
Kyle chose to stay in the store.
And while Kyle was working at Cardi’s store, he approached the truth in the wrong direction. In a way that goes against the rules and is like a trick.
‘As a result, all my memories were lost.’
Everything related to yourself.
The Cardiran elf and all the events he was involved in.
The memory of that incident has been completely erased from Kyle’s mind. Cardi didn’t feel the need to provoke it. That’s because it’s just ruined.
“well. “This is my first time meeting you.”
“…Forgotten one, the stars prophesy.”
“It is true that he is a forgotten entity in history. So, let’s get to the point. “Why are you here?”
Cardi said with her arms crossed.
“This place is the ruins of an old kingdom. And, it is also a relic of my homeland. From the looks of it, it looks like the starlight was used to force a path through…”
Cardi’s eyes turn to the bone fragment hanging around Kyle’s neck. That is Gleria’s finger. Cardi’s eyebrows furrowed.
“Were you planning on going grave robbing?”
“···This is for the good of humanity.”
“The explanation is short. Just because you’re a warrior doesn’t mean all your actions are forgiven. “Explain your purpose accurately.”
Kyle looks at Remia next to him.
Remia nodded slowly.
“···The search for the Holy Grail.”
Holy Grail.
Cardi’s brows narrowed at those words. He confirmed the restrictions placed on him. He decides that the hero in front of him has no qualifications.
‘I couldn’t have accessed the contract, so what?’
Cardi had no way of knowing that a superhuman had narrowed the gap in the contract with his persistence.
“Are you going to retrieve the Holy Grail?”
“yes. Perhaps it’s what your group has. We need that.”
Kyle smoothed the hilt of the holy sword.
“Due to the absence of superhumans, the current battlefield requires new superhumans. Humanity continues to be pushed back, and the front lines are being pulled back day by day. “We need the existence of a superhuman who can turn the tide.”
So, we need that Holy Grail.
The voice of a warrior who speaks of a great cause is even reverent. There was no wavering in Kyle’s voice, which had been trained for speech.
“so.”
Kyle stretched out his hand.
“I would like to ask you to hand over the Holy Grail.”
“well.”
Cardi looked at Kyle with a sad look.
“You’re lying.”
“···What do you mean by that?”
“Did you say it was the absence of a superhuman?”
Cardi stretched out her arm and pointed at Kyle’s holy sword.
“It’s not the absence of superhumans. “It must be the absence of a hero.”
The animal-like eyes are shiny yellow.
“You made a contract with the stars.”
Kyle’s fingers twitched and trembled at that voice. Raniel, who was standing behind Cardi, narrowed his eyes.
“Cardi, what do you mean…”
“Just stay still.”
Cutting off Raniel, Cardi looks at Kyle. Since he has made a contract with a star, Cardi notices an abnormality in the hero’s body.
It is a different kind of contract than your own.
However, I feel that the essence is similar.
“What contract did you make with the stars? “What kind of contract was made…”
Cardi’s fingertips, which were pointed at the holy sword, headed towards Kyle’s heart. Cardi said, pointing to the heart where the starlight should be.
“Why is starlight not your heart?”
“Until there.”
Kyle cut Cardi off.
“I think the contract I signed is good. Can you give me the Holy Grail or not? If not, I plan to take the Holy Grail from you by force.”
Kyle’s fingers become entangled in the holy sword.
Cardi sighed, looking at Kyle who was about to pull out the holy sword at any moment.
“The Holy Grail here is not for everyone. Even if you tried to take it, it would be impossible.”
Cardi receives the Holy Grail from Raniel.
I held it out in front of Kyle.
“Take it if you can.”
Kyle stretched out his hand without saying a word.
However, the Holy Grail falls apart. The scattered Holy Grail returned to its original state only after Kyle’s hand completely passed over it.
“You won’t be able to hold it.”
Cardi says:
Kyle wants to grab the Holy Grail once again. However, the result is the same. The Holy Grail falls apart just by touching it with his fingertips. Even if Remia tried it, the result was no different.
“You are not qualified. “If you weren’t close to the truth, it would be impossible to even grasp this.”
“···then.”
Kyle stretched out his hand.
The finger pointed to Rania standing next to Cardi.
“Why can you hold that girl?”
“Are you and me the same?”
Raniel purred as if he was going to bite the finger pointing at him at any moment. Regardless, Kyle continued speaking.
“And why are you and that girl here? “What on earth is that girl…”
Kyle rubbed the soot off his forearm. It was a sign of Ashes to Ashes, a spell that only Raniel could use.
“Raniel, are you using the same spell as that guy?”
Cardi looked back at Raniel.
Raniel looked like he was coming. She nods her head slightly and steps in front of her. Kyle and Ran El look at each other.
“What on earth are you?”
With that question in front of him, Raniel was about to open his mouth.
-Kyle, is this situation over?!
A voice was heard from up the half-ruined stairs.
There was a person sticking his head out and looking at this place. Everyone’s eyes turned to that place.
-I’m going down? Are you going down?
Saint Sarah.
Before Kyle could say anything, she jumped towards the cavity. She unleashed her magic in the air and fell towards the ground at a slow speed.
“Tsk tsk.”
She landed next to Kyle and let out a short breath.
“Phew, if it’s over, you should call me quickly…”
Sara’s expression hardened as she patted her collar. Her gaze is directed at a girl standing across from Kyle.
“···uh?”
Sarah’s eyes opened wide.
“Dang, you!”
She pointed at Raniel.
“Aplia’s crazy bitch!”
Kyle and Cardi sighed at the same time.
It was because I had a strong feeling that the situation that was unraveling was somehow becoming more complicated.
