Only I Am the Magic Tower Chapter 313
[…] … hmm.]
The President found Hongyeon and pretended to use his chin.
[That horrible red hair. Yes, you are her younger sister.]
Hongyeon looked up at the President and frowned.
“Don’t call me something like Mine.”
The Fuhrer grinned.
[I owe a lot to your sister. The more I look at that red hair, the more my body aches.]
“Is that so?”
The red light swirled with bloody force at the tip of Hongyeon’s sword.
“Then I’ll make sure it doesn’t hurt anymore.”
[Anderson, stop this woman.]
The Fuhrer gave an order, but there was no reply.
[Anderson!]
“Are you looking for interest?”
The Fuhrer turned his head.
The body of a lizard demon had suddenly become as hard as a statue.
Lim Nam-jin, who was next to him, tapped his finger and the statue collapsed.
-Level 2 Heo Il, joins.
-Level 3 Ahn Se-hyeon, joining!
Korea’s leading hunters were appearing one after another. The Fuhrer clicked his tongue and turned his back.
[It doesn’t seem like a good time to have a leisurely chat.]
“stop!”
Hongyeon ran, cutting down the demons. Other hunters followed her.
[It’s unfortunate, but what needs to be recovered has to be recovered.]
While his subordinates were buying time, the President stretched out his arms toward So Sim-hee.
‘Are you planning on taking So Sim-hee like this?’
I gritted my teeth.
‘Ah, now you maintain the barrier!’
-All right.
When I activated the wing golem and flew at top speed, I opened my mouth to see what happened next.
The Fuhrer’s sharp claws pierced So Sim-hee’s chest.
“no!”
I heard Cha Do-yeon’s cries as if they were torn apart.
‘What is this… … !’
So Sim-hee’s energy was flowing from the Fuhrer’s claws. So Sim-hee’s body became increasingly dry and twisted, and she soon turned into a desiccated mummy.
[It’s a special taste.]
The Fuhrer removed his arm and laughed. Cha Do-yeon cried out and poured out light magic, but he could not even make a scratch on the President’s skin.
[Don’t be sad about the breakup, child. Soon, all lives in the world will be at risk.]
Coo coo coo coo!
A huge black dragon crossed into another space.
At the last moment, the dragon’s scarlet eyes moved and looked at me.
[See you in 6 months, Kim Yu-shin, and… … .]
The moment the eyes turned to Hongyeon, a smile that could not be hidden was drawn on the corner of the President’s mouth.
[Look forward to the future. tutelar.]

A chilly, breezy evening.
After the storm passed, all that remained was the remains of the collapsed restaurant and blood stains.
I sat down somewhere suitable and watched the workers cleaning up the restaurant.
“Don’t you have to ask me all that?”
Hongyeon approached and said. She smiled and held out a cup of coffee with the franchise logo on it.
“Of course mine would be the ginger latte, right?”
“It’s just a warm cappuccino.”
“You have no sense.”
When she withdrew her arm with a sullen expression, I quickly apologized and took the coffee again.
We sat side by side.
“That’s it…”
I continued talking while looking at the collapsed restaurant building.
“I can handle it. It would have been a bit annoying if the Seoul Tower had collapsed.”
“Is Seoul Tower too much of a nuisance?”
She shook her head.
“I’m sorry that things ended up like this unintentionally. I even brought everyone who was busy.”
“You don’t need to apologize to me. The President’s intervention was a variable that no one expected, and if Mine came to Korea, our association would have stepped in in the first place.”
I stretched my legs and looked at the night sky.
In the end, there was no significant loss.
The situation was complicated when the President intervened, but he eliminated many demons and even the President’s favorite subordinates, and So Sim-hee tried to end his life on the spot anyway.
however… … .
But why do I feel so happy?

“What kind of person was So Sim-hee?”
At her question, I slowly closed my eyes.
“He liked me.”
“……ah.”
“Honestly, I had no idea. When I was unconscious, So Sim-hee stole Anton’s necklace and created an illusion of me, and I guess I stayed in that illusion forever.”
“It was a good environment to turn into a mine.”
It wasn’t something I could have prevented.
Nevertheless, the guilt that had settled in a corner of my heart did not completely disappear.
Perhaps sensing the heavy atmosphere, Hongyeon changed the topic with a smile.
“The President said he would see us in six months. As expected, the Mines appear to be planning to launch an all-out offensive during Nemesis.”
“I guess so.”
“Can you lend me a warp gate? I want to go to the Middle East and clear out the remnants of the Mine. If we leave it like this, it will come back as an even bigger threat.”
“I’ll talk to Samia and give her some dimension wizards.”
“thank you.”
I took a long sigh.
“And I know you don’t like talking about this.”
“……?”
“Do you have any more information about your sister?”
Hongyeon lowered her gaze and shook her head.
Hong Yul, the former president of the association, suddenly disappeared after retirement.
There are only rumors about her, and no one has ever seen her. It is said that the government once dispatched search parties, but they all returned empty-handed.
There is no trace of it, as if it has disappeared from the world.
“……And regardless of my sister’s physical condition, I don’t want her to return to the front lines.”
She looked at me with a face filled with complicated feelings.
“I hope you find your happiness even now.”
I nodded without saying a word.
I know what contributions Hong Yul has made to humanity. And we know that he has been fighting through serious injuries.
It would be nice if Hongyul came during Nemesis, but that would just be my selfish wish.
“Then what are you going to do with the rest of your time?”
“We need to push forward with the projects we are currently working on, and…”
I can’t get the Fuhrer’s sly smile out of my mind. I got up from my seat.
“I think it’s time for the final level up.”
* * *
[The magic of trial is encroaching on the space.]
[To go up to the next floor, you must pass the ordeal.]
After returning to the Magic Tower, I climbed to the top of the 7th floor. On the way to the 8th floor, a magic of ordeal reminiscent of a black hole was unfolding.
The ‘Magic Tower Lord’s Room’ on the 9th floor, the top floor of the Magic Tower, was open from the beginning, so this is the final ordeal of the Magic Tower.
‘You’ve finally come this far.’
Regarding the 8th floor ordeal, Anton’s diary wrote as follows:
[I curse my fate.]
Just this one word is the end.
There was not a single line about what the 8th floor trial was testing or what boss monsters would appear.
With that sentence, Anton’s diary ended.
‘I feel anxious for no reason.’
I looked at the magic of trials.
It feels like the terrible darkness is licking its tongue as if it will swallow me up at any moment.
I took a long, deep breath and then walked away.
“Let’s go, ea.”
-Yes, top owner.
[To go up to the next floor, you must pass the ordeal.]
[Would you like to take on the ordeal?]
“I challenge you.”
My body was sucked into the ordeal along with the floating feeling of my legs floating.
In the meantime, I also went through all sorts of hardships.
I am confident that I will not be surprised no matter who comes out or what the opponent is.
After a while, I slowly opened my eyes when I felt my feet touch the ground.
It was a ruin.
Erendel-style buildings had collapsed, and debris was floating in the sky as if in weightlessness.
That’s when I was looking around.
“Welcome.”
It’s a surprise.
When I turned my back to the familiar voice, I saw a familiar face smiling.
“Master Anton!”
Anton saw my reaction and crossed his arms.
“You know me, right?”
It’s not real either.
During the 4th floor trial, Anton planted his alter ego in the trial, and it seems the same is the case this time as well.
“Of course I know. With the help of the great senior, I was able to overcome the previous trials.”
“That’s a good thing.”
“Are you carrying out your assignment this time too, Grandmaster?”
Anton shook his head.
“The person who designed the 8th floor trial was not me, but the first Mage Tower Lord. However, I thought my juniors would be confused if I proceeded with the trial without any explanation, so I decided to kindly add a comment.”
“Ah… thank you so much.”
“Then where should we start talking?”
Anton said while rubbing his chin.
“Let me ask you a question. What do you think ‘mana’ is?”
This is a question I heard directly from Anton when I went to Erendel during the 6th floor trial.
I answered, recalling the memories of that time.
“It is a sign that disaster is about to begin.”
The corners of Anton’s mouth rose in satisfaction.
“You got it right!”
Mana is a power that did not originally exist in the world.
However, when the planet reaches a certain lifespan, mana begins to be generated in the atmosphere, and ‘will’, a phenomenon that has not yet been identified, uses mana as a material to build a system called disaster that will destroy the world.
To borrow Anton’s expression, a ‘virus’ called disaster appears because of mana, and ‘white blood cells’ called players are created to fight it. And the magic tower is a ‘vaccine’ that is transfused from outside.
“So far, we’ve mainly talked about the Magic Tower. Now, shall we talk about the player side?”
… … What on earth are you taking so much time to talk about?
“If there is a will that creates disaster in the world, there is also a will that opposes it. Do you understand what that is?”
“I do not know.”
“It is this planet. It is the will of the world to survive the disaster. The world does not just suffer unilaterally. It makes desperate efforts to survive.”
I scratched my head.
“Hmm, is that so? I don’t think I’ve ever felt it.”
– Top owner.
At that time, Ea’s voice rang out.
-Someone is approaching.
I turned my head and looked towards where I heard the footsteps. Anton was also looking in that direction, as if he had sensed a presence.
“You’re here.”
“What is coming?”
“The 8th floor trial omits all processes and only involves one ‘boss battle.’”
A boss fight right from the start?
Suddenly a sense of tension comes over me.
“What kind of boss is this?”
“I don’t know either.”
At Anton’s answer, I looked at him with a blank expression.
“The boss on the 8th floor changes from planet to planet. But one thing is certain. From now on, the tower will show you who will destroy this planet.”
An eerie feeling ran down my spine. I trembled and screamed.
“Oh, that’s ridiculous! Then I have to face the 11th rank Nemesis by myself…!”
“It’s not Nemesis.”
Although it was still far away, the shape could be seen with Deva’s eyes.
The body was not large. A silhouette just like a human. Someone was walking through the darkness.
After a while, I realized what it was.
“ah……”
My mind turned completely white.
A woman with beautiful red hair flowing in a tight hunter suit.
should.
“Hong… Yeon?”
She was approaching with her sword raised, her face calm and cold, not showing any emotion.
I thought it might be someone else, but no matter how I looked at it, she was Hongyeon.
“……Grandpa.”
I opened my mouth, trying desperately to suppress my emotions.
“Do you want to say that the world will be destroyed by Hongyeon?”
“I see.”
Anton continued in a calm tone.
“The tower doesn’t lie.”
