I’m the only magic tower owner Chapter 20

I’m the only magic tower owner episode 020

As expected, it is best to pour out overwhelming amounts of magic.

When a huge amount of formulas flooded into my head, the pleasure of holding them down into one rule, simplifying them, and processing them all in one go was also special.

When I turned my head, Jin Jin-ra was smiling strangely next to me.

“how is it?”

“……Uh, um. That’s cool.”

She continued, scratching the side of her head.

“But the arrow rain magic feels like a waste of power compared to the cold magic? Still, this one seems stronger.”

“Did this seem like a waste? Well, I may have overdone it by firing 10 shots, but in the end, the mana consumption of a Mana Arrow rampage and a single Ice Javelin shot is similar. If you concentrate properly, the casting may be faster this way.”

“Is that so? The world of magic is profound.”

I was completely absorbed in the magic spell and continued hunting.

With a combo of low mana consumption, fast chanting speed, and Mana Arrow that matches well with the ‘Copy Magical Position’ acquired in the trial, he swept away the surrounding Lava Worms.

Perhaps because of its striking fighting style, other players who were hunting also looked at it from time to time.

“Did you just see it?”

“Arrows just fell from the sky. What kind of power is it?”

It’s not an ability, it’s magic.

Well, that’s not important, I understand after fighting a few times. I definitely think that volume warfare is a good fit for me.

‘Ah, I’m curious about your thoughts too. ‘Which do you think is more effective: Ice Javelin or Mana Arrow Rampage?’

-The battle data of the tower is being analyzed.

After a while she said.

-If we compare only the efficiency, the mana consumption of ‘Copy Magical Position’ for shooting mana arrows is large and the calculation is also heavy. When dealing with reverse attribute monsters, the Ice Javelin is overwhelmingly effective.

Ugh, the Ice Javelin is more efficient.

I’ll have to think about it a little more.

I sighed lightly and looked towards Jin-ra.

She didn’t do anything but just quietly followed behind and watched me hunt. When her eyes met mine, she smiled brightly.

“You don’t hunt?”

“I was doing it little by little. You may not have been able to see it because you were in immersion mode again.”

… … What is immersive mode?

“More than that, senior! Aren’t you running low on mana?”

She asked, her eyes sparkling nervously. It seemed like he would be disappointed if I told him that there was still a lot left, so I nodded.

“I was waiting for this moment. Ta-da!”

She held out her hand into the air and a small green portal appeared.

That is the exclusive sub-space of the ‘Potion Preparation Hall’.

On the first floor of the Magic Tower, there was a warehouse exclusively for administrators, and Jinbo could take out items from there whenever he wanted.

She took out a blue potion and held it out with both hands.

“Try it. It’s my new creation!”

“Oh, is this blue elixir? Did you succeed in concocting it?”

“yes!”

I drank it right away without any hesitation. There was a sweet scent of grapes, and then a cool refreshing feeling flowed down my throat.

I felt the mana inside my body filling up quickly.

“Wow, this is really good.”

“Right? Right? How does it taste?”

“Taste? It just tastes like grapes.”

“Hehehe! I even added some flavor.”

Added flavor? Is something like that even possible?

She waved her index finger left and right with a confident look on her face.

“It was strange because the original elixir tasted a bit like chemicals. So I tried adding a fruit flavor.”

“So you know the recipe is different from the book?”

“Yes! I tried to preserve the taste without losing the magic effect!”

… … It’s great even in useless aspects. Still, this is a passing grade.

First of all, I also have the ability to prepare potions, but Jinbo, who received the benefit of the first floor manager, was now surpassing my level of perfection.

Now, I think I can leave the potion preparation to Jin Jin-ra and pay more attention to the other side.

This guy keeps appealing to me, so it seems like he wants to maintain his position somehow. When I get back to the magic tower, I’ll have to eat it to my heart’s content.

“…Why are you looking at me like that?”

“What were my eyes like?”

“The eyes had a sinister design in them.”

“It’s an illusion.”

As I was looking around, I heard Ea’s voice in my head.

– Top owner.

‘what’s the matter?’

-The scribe is entering the lava cave dungeon.

Jeong Seo-jin came here? I turned my head.

“Seojin is here. Let’s wait a moment.”

“Ugh, why did that person come again?”

We stopped hunting for a moment and went to meet him at the dungeon entrance. Jeong Seo-jin indeed appeared at the entrance.

“Good morning, Tower Lord.”

He bowed his head.

“What’s going on here?”

“I heard from Ea that you were selling items in the lava cave. I came here to help you…”

I guess it was because of that. I crossed my arms and answered confidently.

“Don’t worry. We’ve already reached our goal.”

“As expected, you are the owner of the tower.”

Jeong Seo-jin quietly nodded, and I could feel the trust in his eyes. I guess this proves my abilities, right?

“It’s been since you finished work, so I don’t know if you came crawling in because you wanted to pick up something else to eat.”

Jin Jin-ra muttered loudly to herself and grabbed my arm. Jeong Seo-jin’s eyebrows twitched.

“It was nice to spend time with you two, but why did you come?”

“Didn’t you say you came to help the tower owner? I doubt your memory is as good as that of a carp.”

“Hey! Did you just say crucian carp!”

The two started growling again.

Why do they fight every time they meet? If you think about Jin Jin-ra’s attitude towards men or Jeong Seo-jin’s attitude towards EA, it is truly a mystery.

“stop.”

At my words, both people closed their mouths at the same time and stepped back.

“I secured the funds I wanted, and since I was in the dungeon, I was thinking of going hunting. Do you want to go with me?”

“hmm.”

Jeong Seo-jin thought for a moment and nodded.

“Fields aren’t really my genre, but if the tower owner wants it, I have no choice. I’ll go with you.”

“Ugh.”

Jin Jin-ra reacted with disgust and turned her back. But when you see this guy’s skills, you’ll change your mind, right?

So, for the first time, we formed a party of three among the Magic Tower members.

* * *

According to the association’s notice, a boss battle will take place in the next hour.

We were also moving quickly across the field to join the boss battle. The surrounding lava worms persistently attacked, but with the three people working together, they were able to sort them out without any major problems.

– Top owner. It’s 30 minutes to the boss room.

‘okay.’

Although communication with the outside world is impossible inside the dungeon, the power of EA, which shares part of its consciousness with me, does not discriminate between places and spaces.

Thanks to her guidance, we made it to the boss room without getting lost.

However, if there is a reason for the delay.

“I’m a senior! Look at this! It’s a river made of lava!”

Jin-ra and Jin are in tourist mode and eagerly taking selfies.

“It is said that a special material called black magic stone can be made by removing impurities from the lava in the dungeon and hardening it. If we can solve the problem of transporting the lava, it might make money.”

Jeong Seo-jin, who is planning a business.

… … Actually you guys. You’re not that interested in boss battles, right?

Coo coo coo coo coo!

It was then. The river of lava where Jin Jin-ra was taking a selfie in the background boiled over and boom! It soared with a sound.

What appeared inside was a lava monster the size of a house. Hot drops fell to the floor and made a hissing sound.

“……Huh?”

“Run! It’s that monster!”

The surrounding players couldn’t even think of hunting and quickly began to disperse. Is there something unusual about the atmosphere?

‘Ah, please give me information about the monster.’

-yes. The name of the monster is Lava Golem. It is a rare large monster at rank 2. The hunting difficulty is quite high compared to the experience gained, so it is recommended to bypass it.

I want to take a detour too!

As soon as he got up, he suddenly thrust his huge fist in our direction.

Quaaaang!

Although he quickly retreated and dodged it, a large lava pit appeared where his fist landed.

No, what kind of 2nd rank is this? The whole body is at the level of a weapon.

“That guy…!”

The players around me were hurriedly leaving, but the man next to me energetically fought back.

Mana-coated arrows flew one after another, but the Lava Golem seemed to have done no damage and swung its huge arms.

“Wow!”

The startled man hurriedly tried to back away and bumped into me, who was preparing a spell from behind.

As we tangled and fell, the golem’s arm approached.

“Aaaah! Aaaaaah!”

A black shadow was cast. The man was so scared that he was just screaming.

‘Oh my, it’s crazy.’

I calmly stretched out my right arm and summoned mana.

Boom!

The shield was spread in the direction of the swinging arm to cancel out the impact. Just before the shield broke, new shields were summoned one after another, and the next five shields held firm.

The Lava Golem eventually had no choice but to retrieve its arm.

“……Huh?”

The man who opened his eyes late was mesmerized by the situation that had just happened. Then he looked at me.

“Could it be that…?”

“yes.”

“Thanks to you, I survived!”

The man must have realized that he was not a monster to deal with, so he quickly ran away. I stood up and looked at Jin Jin-ra.

“Look, let’s take a look at your skills.”

“Okay! It’s finally my turn!”

Jin Jin-ra stepped forward with a confident face.

A promising talent who joined the student council while still a freshman. At school, I know that she uses a long-distance fighting style where she strengthens her arrows with enchantment skills and fires them.

“Did you bring your bow?”

“Oh, I don’t need it anymore.”

When she opened her palm, a green portal appeared and a bottle of potion fell out.

“Because I have a new weapon.”

The Lava Golem prepared to attack again. This time, it seemed to be clearly trying to finish us off, inflating the lava and extending its arms.

The unbalanced appearance with only one arm nearly twice as long was very threatening, but Jin Jin-ra’s expression was relaxed.

“going!”

What are you going to do with the potion?

She held the potion tightly in both hands, put it behind her head, and kicked up her foot.

The next stride. With full weight placed on the right leg, the center of gravity shifts to the left leg, twisting the shoulders and waist.

This is a typical pitching stance. Are you pretty good at it?

“yap!”

Then, ignoring things like release and throwing, I jumped around and swung my arms.

… … Well then.

Shuhuaaaaaaa!

However, the moment the potion that was thrown in that sloppy form left her hand, it started flying at almost the speed of a cannonball.

However, the direction is too biased to the side. If things continued like this, it was bound to be a miss, but this time, the potion’s trajectory suddenly curved sharply in the opposite direction from the middle.

Fuuuuuuuuuuck!

The potion hit the lava golem’s face exactly, causing a large explosion.

‘… … Rice, curveball?’

The golem’s body swayed from the shock and then crashed to the floor! He made a sound and hit her buttocks.

Everyone around them who was watching had puzzled expressions on their faces.

“I saw it! Did you see it? Senior!”

Jin Jin-ra ran up to me and jabbed as if asking for praise.

… What did I just see?

“This is my new work too! I made one that explodes to use for self-defense. I even used an enchantment to throw it, so the power is incomparable to an arrow!”

“…… That’s amazing. But what did you do with the pitch you just made?”

“Helmet? Oh, you’re throwing it?”

She covered her mouth with her hand and spoke softly.

“Perhaps thanks to the trait I acquired this time, when I throw the potion, it flies away as I want.”

… … Does that make sense?

Ea explained further for me who was confused.

-Potion Swing Lv.10, an attribute of the Potion Dispenser, doubles the power and accuracy when throwing potions. At level 10, you can ignore the laws of physics and send it flying.

It’s a truly bizarre trait. Somehow, I feel like it goes well with Jin Ra.

The Lava Golem tried to get up again. Jin Jin-ra laughed and stretched out her palms. Subspace opened and two explosion potions fell into her hands.

Then he started throwing potions with poor form again. Although it started strangely, by the time it reached the Lava Golem, it was flying at almost the speed of a cannonball and hitting the target.

“yap!”

For the last shot, he spun around, hit his flowing hair with his hand, then flipped the potion in his hand over his head and threw it.

… … Is it a performance now?

Wow!

Of course, the power was clear. There were many holes in the body of that giant.

The people around them suddenly stopped and watched Jin Jin-ra’s battle.

“you are good.”

“Hey, hey, did you just see that? That woman took down the lava golem all by herself!”

Jin Jin-ra, who heard those words, got angry and shouted.

“You beat it! You defeated the enemy gracefully!”

The Lava Golem’s body, which had half its head left, lost its balance and tilted greatly.

While everyone was at ease, the golem, which was about to fall, unexpectedly stepped on the ground and extended its arms towards Jin Jin-ra.

“…!”

The moment Jin Jin-ra was startled by the unexpected anomalous attack, someone appeared in front of him like the wind and blocked him. Then he suddenly threw his fist at the station.

Boom!

The fists of the man and the golem collided.

Jin Jin-ra covered her mouth in surprise. The man with his fist outstretched leisurely looked behind him and adjusted his glasses.

“Don’t let your guard down, Jin Jin-ra.”

“Someone said I let my guard down! I was surprised by your sudden intervention!”

Patter!

The Lava Golem’s fist, which came in contact with Jeong Seo-jin’s fist, collapsed in reverse.

Everyone watching opened their mouths, but Jeong Seo-jin walked over with an expressionless face and stood next to me.

“Please don’t misunderstand my usage, Top Owner. The original scene is not my genre.”

“…Sounds like field constitution.”

“I am the type of person who plans strategies behind the scenes.”

‘You can shamelessly say such things with your own mouth.’

Jeong Seo-jin’s unique ability, ‘Iron Man’, is a top-level physical ability that goes beyond simply strengthening the body and turning the entire body’s abilities into a superhuman.

Although it is a power that many people envy, he himself was dissatisfied with the fact that he had such physical abilities.

It’s a power that doesn’t suit me, and I said that unique abilities are influenced by a person’s personality, but I don’t know why I’m a physical type.

Oh, of course I think the person who received it received it.

“Okay. Then I’ll finish it.”

I came forward, stretched out my arms and created a magic circle on my palms.

‘Eh, it’s on the left.’

-Yes, start calculating the formula.

The magic circle emitted a brilliant blue light and shot out a spear of frost.

Toukwaak!

The spear was hurled squarely into the center of the golem’s head.

Then, two more spears were pierced in succession, and the Lava Golem, which had been twisting its large body, soon fell backwards and returned to the lava.

[Ice Javelin mastery has reached 10%.]

[Magic power has increased by 1.]

The people watching erupted in cheers. Everyone thought that the lava golem in the lava cave was an avoidable monster that could not be caught.

“Wow, that person clearly has abilities unique to the combat class. I’m jealous.”

“But didn’t that guy earlier make a shield or something?”

“Idiot, someone else must have done that. Making ice spears is probably his ability.”

Everything was wrong.

Because it’s magic.
