I’m the only magic tower owner Chapter 188

I’m the only magic tower owner episode 188

After recovering from my wounds with red elixir, I stood in front of the fading Immortal Gate.

“Then let’s go.”

Grizzly nodded silently. Several Russian hunters also shook my hand, bumped fists, and left words of encouragement.

“My son is now two years old.”

Grizzly said.

“The crazier the world is, the more we need symbols for children to see and grow up with. Please bring back humanity’s heroes.”

“Of course. Please leave it to me.”

After saying hello to Grizzly one last time, I entered Immortal’s gate alone.

Ugh!

For a moment, I felt like the space was distorted, and then my vision opened up.

I was standing on a desolate plain of unknown location. After entering the dungeon, the first thing I did was check the player messages.

[Time remaining until dimension break 00:12:49.]

If you defeat the boss monster, the main character of the dungeon, the power of time and space connecting dimensions weakens and the gate closes.

The only way to exit is through the gate you used when you first entered the dungeon, or through the gate that appears in its place after clearing the boss.

‘Let’s wait.’

After a while, 12 minutes had passed, and it was confirmed that the space was completely disconnected.

Now, like Hong Yul, I am trapped in this dungeon forever. If this happens, the association will treat it as ‘missing in the dungeon’ and then officially declare it dead three months later.

I took out the bean containing the magic of trials that I had kept in my subspace pocket.

‘I suddenly feel anxious. Are you really saying this little thing is causing trouble?’

I decided to just do as I was told.

Dig the ground shallowly, plant beans in it, and cover it with soil. On top of that, a trigger magic circle from the essence of magic was spread out and mana was infused.

Ugh!

Player messages appear one after another.

[Confirmation of the person responsible for the ordeal, Magic Tower owner Kim Yu-shin.]

[Calculating the space and mana amount of the dungeon.]

[Check appropriate space. No vital reactions nearby. You can start the 6th floor trial magic normally.]

[Would you like to take on the ordeal?]

It was hard to get here. There is no hesitation.

“I challenge you.”

As if responding to my words, a flower the size of a human body sprouted from the beans planted on the ground.

When the flower fully bloomed, what appeared was the same black hole that was blocking the path to the next floor.

[The ordeal begins.]

The black hole expanded to an enormous size and covered the world.

Without even having time to react, my body was sucked into it.

* * *

In my floating consciousness, I slowly recalled Anton’s diary.

[It took longer than expected to find a large dungeon where I could endure the ordeal. After visiting in person, I was able to understand why it was necessary to use the external dungeon instead of the tower. The scale is different from previous trials. It’s really wide.]

[I met the previous magic tower owners. They are all just shady, eccentric old men. Will I be like that when I get older? Oh, no way. Even if I die, I won’t end up like those hysterical old men.]

Yes.

According to Anton’s diary, the concept of this ordeal is ‘time travel.’

It is a mission to find the previous magic tower owners. And I have to make the magic they teach me my own.

At some point, my feet, which had been feeling a floating sensation, hit hard ground.

I opened my eyes and looked around.

It is in the middle of a dark city. Thick smoke covered the sky, and black rain fell steadily.

The buildings are old, rusty, faded, or have holes in places. The entire city is covered with unidentifiable damp moss.

‘… … Are you saying this is Erendel?’

I’m already coughing and it feels like there’s a lump of sand under my throat. More than anything else, I feel like my nose is about to drop from the kind of nasty stench I’m smelling for the first time.

‘Ah. there is?’

-I am always by Topju’s side.

… … This guy’s comments suddenly make my heart flutter.

‘Where do you think this is?’

-I just analyzed the building structure, and it is different from Erendel’s building style.

To put it bluntly, it looks more similar to Earth.

It certainly was. If Erendel is a medieval world, this is closer to modern times. Concrete buildings are the foundation and tall buildings are also visible.

However, if you read the letters on the signs posted around the building, it seems far from Earth. It is an alien language that I have never seen before.

‘Was there a place like this in Erendel?’

Anyway, since I was in the city with nothing, I decided to just walk forward without a plan.

Right! Right!

The sound of something being eaten can be heard from the alley between buildings.

When I turned my head, I saw someone covered in straw lying on the floor, stuffing waste from a trash can into their mouth. Not only food waste, but also things like polyethylene vinyl went straight to the mouth.

“…….”

At that time, the gaze of the man who was putting waste into his mouth reached me. I got goosebumps and quickly walked away.

-It looks like people are living. Top owner.

‘I know.’

It is a place that makes all kinds of thoughts come to mind.

What purpose did the trials bring me to a place like this? If humanity is defeated by a disaster, will things end up like this now?

No, the disaster will not stop until the seed of humanity is dried up. In my opinion, this world has not yet been completely defeated by the disaster. Someone will still be resisting.

As if to disprove my thoughts, I see a large wall beyond the building. It’s so high that your eyes can’t take it all in at once, so you have to tilt your head back completely to see the end of the wall.

The entire city seems to be surrounded by a wall, and I think it may be a wall that protects the city from monsters.

‘… … ‘Mmm.’

I’m thinking about various things as I walk, but I have no idea how to find the magic tower.

‘My mind is too complicated. Let’s just think simple.’

Where is information mainly gathered in Erendel? Yes, I usually said it was a bar.

They said there were a lot of informants there too.

Once I set the guidelines, what I could see became clearer. Among the many signs, I found one with a picture of liquid falling on a cup.

It must be alcohol. I entered the building without hesitation.

Jingle, jingle.

A rusty bell rings. As soon as you enter the room, the scent of alcohol hits your nose, and the light bulb on the ceiling flickers as if it’s boiling.

In the dim lighting, which is almost semi-darkness, drunk people are chatting or slumped over tables.

-Be careful. Top owner.

‘huh.’

I walked to the table where the waiter was. Fortunately, the neatest dressed man in the place was wiping a cup with a cloth. The cloth is dirty so I wipe it, but it seems to be mana.

‘Will the core interpreter work here too?’

The interpreter registered only Earth’s language. Then the waiter looked at me and said.

“This is my first time seeing your face.”

nice. Since it is during a trial, it seems that interpretation magic is applied.

I took the translator out of my ear and put it in my pocket, then sat down and pulled the hood down further.

“What would you like to order?”

“I have a question.”

I kept my voice as low as possible to match the atmosphere here.

“Where should I go to meet the magic tower lord?”

Let’s ask directly without any hesitation. First of all, I want to see the other person’s reaction.

“Are you an outsider from outside the walls? I think it’s polite to ask any questions after you place your order.”

“I don’t have any currency. What can I use to pay for it?”

“Cigarettes. Ammunition. Protein.”

All three are missing.

First of all, in order for the story to progress in this world, do you have to work and earn money?

“If not, it’s a magic stone. If it’s a magic stone, I can give it to you from here.”

“Magic stone?”

I suddenly feel relieved at the familiar word. Erendel seems to be Erendel, and luckily there was the concept of magic stones here too.

I looked around and picked up a dirt-covered rock rolling on the ground.

The waiter’s expression distorted.

“Are you kidding me?”

“wait.”

When I touched the surface, I found that the stone was softer than I thought.

I used magic to carve out the inside of the stone, then drew a compressed magic circle inside. In that state, mana was infused.

Pot!

A blue light emerged from the body of the stone. I gave the stone as much mana as it could withstand, then dropped it in front of the waiter.

“I can order at least one drink at this level, right?”

The waiter, who saw the glowing stone, stared at me with a shocked expression. Even people who had been drinking and were stretched out suddenly stand up straight.

“You can’t believe it…”

“……?”

“Can you generate mana?”

“As you can see.”

The waiter nodded once and turned his back. My hands are busy rummaging through the drawers, looking for some kind of glass.

At that time, the waiter grasped the handle of something tightly.

– Top owner! It’s dangerous!

At Ea’s warning, I, who was sitting on the chair, kicked the table bar and stepped away.

Empty!

And what looked like crude Chinese food was stuck where I was.

“Give it to me.”

Slam!

This time the waiter pulled out a long gun.

The people sitting around also approached with cruel smiles on their faces.

Each of them had sharp blades in their hands.

“Give me that body!”

“Ugh, what happened all of a sudden!”

There must be something wrong because people’s attitudes have changed.

I quickly kicked down the door and ran down the stairs.

“stop!”

As they chased after me, the mat peeled off and people’s faces were revealed. There was not a single hair on the body, let alone hair on the head or eyebrows. I don’t know if it’s a characteristic of this world’s races, but it was very strange.

“It’s a mana inducer! Grab it!”

The waiter stuck his head out the window and shouted in a phlegm-scraping voice.

A light of greed flashed in the eyes of the people who were wandering the streets or picking up food waste, and they all ran to where I was.

‘Ugh, I’m going crazy!’

I was suddenly chased. When I looked back, I saw hundreds of people crowding around like zombies in the middle of the road.

People around them saw that and joined in the chase, as if they knew what was going on.

“Mana! Mana! Mana! Mana!”

A terrible, screaming cry is heard from behind.

Suddenly, I was being chased throughout this city. First, we entered a narrow alley to escape pursuit.

Wow!

The glass window in the alley is broken, and the hands sticking out flounder up and down.

There were no real zombie movies.

I bent down and ran down the alley at top speed.

“Hahahaha!”

The pot-bellied man blocking my path swung a chainsaw. I lifted my body slightly to avoid the attack, then spun around and kicked the man in the back of the head with all my might.

The man’s body flew off and landed in a pile of trash.

And one line of player message that comes to mind.

[Your speed has increased by 1.]

“Are you going to put me on medication now?”

I’m really going crazy.

Still, an ordeal is an ordeal, and the ability bonus effect seems to be being applied properly. Above all, I am not normal when I am secretly happy that my abilities have improved.

I quickly came to my senses and ran into an empty alley.

‘Is there a real magic tower lord in a place like this?’

Regardless of whether I’m looking or not, I’ll just have to hope that he’s alive.
