I’m the only magic tower owner Chapter 204

I’m the only magic tower owner episode 204

My eyes opened.

I didn’t want to open my eyes, but I opened them like I did every morning.

I see a clear, clean blue sky with floating clouds.

But the last sky I saw was different. The sky there was black and red.

What have I done?

I destroyed Eve. Because of that, a world was destroyed.

What am I… … .

“Move!”

Someone pushes my shoulder and passes by.

“What are you doing, you bastard? You’re blocking the middle of the street…”

I moved my head and looked at the person who said those words.

amazing. It’s a cat, not a person.

When the talking cat made eye contact with me, he looked shocked.

“Huh, huh! Look at the eyes, the eyes! The eyes that can pierce a person! Huh, by the way, these days!”

The cat wearing clothes clicked its tongue and quickly walked away.

In addition to my vision, my hearing seems to have recovered properly, and I can hear a buzzing sound coming from all directions.

I guess it doesn’t matter. There’s no need for anything, what’s important to me right now is looking at the sky.

“Who’s in front?”

“Don’t block the road, get out of the way!”

The annoying sounds of people ring in my ears. Some people pass by, patting my body.

Even if you stumble and take a few steps, you raise your head again and look straight at the sky.

“I’m going to see all these crazy people from broad daylight!”

“Get out of the way!”

amazing.

Cat, dog, fox, wolf. They are all dressed and walking like humans. I think it’s a world where various races live. It’s not really my interest.

Everyone who made eye contact with me was startled and was busy running away.

Some women blindfold their children and hide them in their arms.

No, what’s wrong with me?

Is my face that scary?

I don’t know if he’s good looking, but I’ve heard a lot of people say he’s impressive.

Is this a dangerous product for children?

Well, I don’t know. Actually, I wonder what it has to do with it.

“Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Damn it! Who is there? Do you want to die?”

There is the sound of horses’ hooves from behind and the smell of dust. Looks like a carriage has arrived.

“How dare you block Princess Elise’s path! Have you ever seen such a shameless bastard!”

“What happen?”

“Oh, I’m sorry, princess! There’s some crazy guy on the side of the road.”

“Are you crazy?”

Well, that’s kind of what’s going on. Still not interested.

Ah, what am I… … . It’s as if I left my mental head in the other world.

Why am I like this?

“Get out of there right now! Before I kill you!”

‘… … It’s so noisy.’

I finally looked back. Riding the carriage are a dog driver wearing a straw hat and a dog lady wearing a white dress.

Wow, that’s funny. Isn’t this a world where all animals are equal? Are the human rights of horses pulling carriages okay?

“Huh!”

“Sigh!”

Those two people also looked horrified when they made eye contact with me.

“Ah, it’s an assassin! It’s definitely an assassin sent by the Kingdom of Kiora! Bring it out now!”

“Yes, old!”

As guards with weapons approach, people murmur and retreat.

I’m a dog… … No, I’m staring straight at the Tow Clan Princess. Her face turns as white as a sheet of paper.

“What, what, what are you looking at! You murderer!”

“…….”

weird. Suddenly, annoyance rises to the top of my head.

“What did you say just now?”

I turned completely and looked straight at them.

“A murderer? Me?”

Slowly raise your right arm and aim at the Tow Clan Princess.

What would happen if you drew Tauros on that dog’s face and fired a few shots at it?

I want to try it.

“Aaaah! That’s something! Stop it quickly!”

“ancient!”

I really raised my mana.

Up!

At that time, a thin arm gently grabbed my wrist.

The power in that hand was neither strong nor weak, but just right. A warm hand, as if scolding a naughty child, rather than trying to stop me by force.

Maybe I was attracted to that softness, but without realizing it, my arm slowly lowered.

“I came here just in case, and as expected, it was a hot topic.”

It’s an old man’s voice that I think I’ve heard before somewhere. I turned my head and looked at the person behind the voice.

“Why don’t you come with me?”

Seeing the smile of the kind old man I met, I felt overwhelmed without realizing it. It was someone I knew.

“Senior Anton…!”

I couldn’t hold back my emotions and hugged him with all my strength.

Anton looked a little embarrassed, but then smiled and patted me on the back, saying, ‘Okay, okay.’

“Ma, Magic Tower Lord! Do you know someone?”

The Tow Clan Princess asks.

“Yes, he is my favorite disciple. I never did it with bad intentions. Please forgive my disciple’s rudeness just by looking at this old man’s face.”

“Well, if the Magic Tower Lord says so…”

The guards retreated, and Anton spoke softly.

“Let’s go. We’ll have a lot to talk about.”

* * *

I walked down the street with Anton and talked.

– Top owner! How can you not answer a single word to me?

‘… … I’m sorry. I really couldn’t hear it.’

Even soothing Ea, who was sulking.

Anton also smiled meaningfully as he watched my expression change in real time. He also probably knows that I talk to homunculi.

“Senior, do you remember me? I met you during the ordeal on the 4th floor.”

“I’m sorry, but this is my first time meeting you.”

Anton said, stroking his beard.

“You said it was a 4th floor ordeal, right? What you faced was probably my clone formed by a space barrier.”

“Ah… Then how did you know and find me?”

“I came because my homunculus’s detection magic said it felt otherworldly magic. I thought it was time to come.”

We passed through the garden and entered Anton’s magnificent mansion.

“Welcome, master.”

oh my god. Beast-human maids, who we only see in subcultures, bowed to greet us.

Animal ears and a tail sticking out from under a skirt are gently swaying. People who like this are so happy that they faint.

“Come this way.”

When we entered the room and sat down, a Myoin in a maid uniform poured us tea.

“thank you.”

When I said thank you, the Myoin maid’s ears perked up. Soon, he lowered his head in embarrassment and disappeared as if running away.

“How do you feel about coming to Erendel?”

Anton asked, taking a sip of tea. I glanced out the window once and then answered.

“It’s different from other worlds I’ve experienced. It seems like a very peaceful place.”

“This is the capital of the empire, so it’s natural for it to be peaceful.”

“Ah, so it was the capital. So is the Magic Tower here too?”

“The Magic Tower is thousands of kilometers away from here. This mansion is where I usually stop by when I visit the capital.”

I nodded and took a sip of tea. It’s been a while since I’ve had a not-so-sweet tea. A slightly thick feel is my style.

“Every world at the time you visited is like that, but Erendel is not invincible either. There are constant troubles, big and small, all over the continent.”

“okay.”

“…….”

Anton quietly put down his teacup.

“You look like you’re having a hard time. If you don’t mind, old man, would you mind telling me what happened?”

“…… All right.”

I told everything.

Anecdotes about meeting Royst, Minerva, and Winslow. And even the story that I contributed to the destruction of Winslow’s world, Machinatio.

I felt doubtful right before destroying Eve, but in the end, I could not ignore the danger of my colleagues and proceeded with destruction.

The result, as you can see, was the destruction of a world.

Anton listened to my story and nodded.

“Don’t be too upset. You didn’t really destroy a world.”

“Really?”

“It will take more than a week to make you understand space-time magic and the principles of the universe, so I will give you a brief summary. All the worlds you are seeing and experiencing right now…”

Anton nodded and continued speaking with a more serious look on his face.

“It has already been destroyed.”

The severity of those words makes me shudder. Then, the place where I am now with Anton will soon be… … .

“No matter what the entity that distorted space and time did, that world has already been destroyed. The result is an irreversible fate and cause and effect.”

“…….”

“On the contrary, it can be said that you are lucky to have witnessed the destruction of the world firsthand. You must have felt a lot, right?”

I nodded.

‘Ancor de Antirs’ collapsed due to the self-righteousness of Mage Tower Lord Roist.

‘Sorata’ collapsed due to internal strife among humans and the consequences of neglecting and ignoring disasters elsewhere.

‘Machinatio’ collapsed because humans were too consumed with peace and pleasure due to advanced science and technology.

The world could easily collapse over just the smallest thing.

“There is one question that runs through all of this.”

“What is that?”

“What on earth is a magic tower?”

Earth and Erendel were not the first.

I understand that a disaster is threatening to destroy many worlds in the universe.

But there was always a magic tower and a magic tower owner. Can we just dismiss this as a coincidence?

“I think we need to talk about something a little more fundamental.”

Anton said as he opened a snack placed next to the car.

“There is still uncertainty about the disaster. Even we magic tower owners who have passed through many generations have not been able to fully reveal it. We call it ‘will.’ We do not know if it is the providence of the universe or the tricks of the Creators, but disaster has a certain lifespan. “I intend to destroy the planet and eventually disappear from this universe.”

Anton’s blue eyes staring at me gave off a brilliant light.

“What do you think ‘mana’ is?”

“……Well, I don’t know. A source for using magic?”

“Mana is the power of creation. Originally, mana did not exist in any world. However, at some point, when the planet reaches a certain lifespan, this phenomenon called mana appears. That is a sign.”

“…What kind of omen?”

“A sign that disaster will begin.”

Mana is the power of creation and miracles that turns unreality into reality, but at the same time it is the cause of disaster, Anton explained.

‘Will’ uses mana as a material to build a system called disaster that will destroy this world.

Of course, as mana spreads, objects that quickly adapt to the mana and awaken naturally also appear.

They are the players. Players use the power of mana to constantly become stronger and resonate with their will.

“So disaster and superpowers appeared at the same time.”

“That’s right. If I were to compare the phenomenon in the human body, it would be that a virus appeared and white blood cells appeared to fight it. It’s a common occurrence anywhere in the ecosystem of this universe.”

Anton slowly crossed his arms and spoke.

“And think that the vaccine being transfused from outside is the magic tower.”

“ah……!”

thank god.

At least it doesn’t mean that the Magic Tower is the cause of the disaster.

“When a disaster destroys one world, it moves to a planet rich in mana to destroy the next world. At the same time, the Magic Tower also moves to a world rich in mana.”

Anton said.

“Mana is used to summon disaster, but it is originally the power of creation. Those who are best at wielding the power of creation are wizards. If you are a magic tower lord, there is a need to make this vaccine stronger.”

“……okay.”

I covered my head.

“Something is confusing my head. I knew the final disaster would come someday, but… I never thought the Magic Tower would play such an important role.”

At first, all I thought about was staying in the magic tower and sucking honey. These days, I have more free time and am doing various things, but hearing this fact made me feel burdened.

“Don’t stress too much.”

Anton said as if reading my thoughts.

“You must not forget the lesson learned by the 6th Mage Tower Lord, Royst, who tried to carry everything on his own and the world was destroyed. There is no need for the Mage Tower Lord to carry everything, and it is not something you can solve on your own in the first place.”

“All right.”

Anton took a sip of tea and closed one eye.

“Is there any way to teach magic in your world…”

“We used the most active media to make it public.”

“Well, I see! Then you are doing very well. Just keep doing what you are doing.”

I suddenly felt moved. The words that I was doing well sounded so warm that it touched my heart.

-Really, Topju is doing well.

I hear EA’s voice. She usually didn’t raise her voice when I was talking to other people.

-Didn’t you save countless people and the country? I believe that a tower owner who has achieved this level of achievement in a short period of time is in no way inferior to other magic tower owners.

‘Thank you ea.’

It feels like a bit of a burden has been lifted.

Afterwards, I had many conversations with Anton. I had a lot of questions, and he answered my questions with ease.

Talking with Anton was like a tonic. Little by little, my broken mentality recovered, and the immersion that had transformed into guilt and was stabbing me faded away.

As a result, I came to my senses later and became impatient.

“Senior, I think I should go back to Earth quickly.”

The remaining Magic Tower members may be going through some hardships.

“If you don’t mind, please tell me about your ordeal in Erendel.”

“Oh, right.”

Anton stroked his beard and was lost in thought. I, very nervous, swallowed my saliva and waited for his next words.

The trials of the magic tower owners were all difficult.

Royst had millions of monsters collapse three mountains at the same time, and Minerva had her face the disaster of flooding that had already destroyed the world once. Winslow made it a test to kill the final boss of that world.

So what kind of ordeal will Anton face? It won’t be easy. The ordeal I went through with him on the 4th floor remained terrifying to me. I should have died twenty-one times by his hands.

“Okay, let’s do this.”

The corners of Anton’s mouth rose.

Why are you so scared?

My tension was at its peak and I wiped my sweaty palms on my pants.

“My ordeal was to be a conversation partner for this lonely old man.”

“……yes?”

For a moment, I was at a loss to understand what he was saying.

“Don’t you know what I’m talking about?”

Anton grinned.

“Congratulations on clearing the 6th floor trial of the Magic Tower.”

He put his hand on my head. Knowledge was immediately sucked into my head.

At some point, the 6th process ice barrier magic ‘Frozen Aries’ took root in my head, the very same magic that the magic tower owners had used.

“Uh, huh? Is this okay…?”

“I don’t want anything from you. Aren’t you busy too? Let’s go back to the original world.”

“Grandpa!”

Is this person really an angel? I looked at Anton with wide eyes.

“True! And since I cleared the trial, I should receive a reward.”

“Compensation?”

He got up from his seat.

“Please feel free to follow me. I have something to give you.”
