I’m the only magic tower owner episode 314
“The tower doesn’t lie.”
I bit my lip to hold back my anger, and Anton continued speaking.
“Let’s continue what we said before. When disaster strikes, the will of the planet pours all its power into its own survival and creates a single player with overwhelming strength. That is the Guardian.”
Is it a guardian again?
It’s something I hear a lot these days.
[The catastrophe has already begun, Guardian. The world will collapse in your hands.]
Alexandro of level 1 danger said.
[Look forward to the future. tutelar.]
The President also mentioned it.
“There must be at least one story about a chosen hero in your world, right?”
“There are so many.”
“Think of the Guardian as a modern-day version of that hero. Instead of being destined to save the world, you can constantly push yourself beyond your limits and become strong enough to fight Nemesir.”
“……Wasn’t it just strengthening your learning ability?”
“That’s just the most basic power of a Guardian.”
Thinking about it again, it didn’t make sense for Hongyeon to acquire Hongyul’s red light technique.
Just by injecting red energy into your body and adapting it, you can use your power better than your original ability. No matter how much I thought about it, it was something that couldn’t be explained in terms of learning ability.
“No, then it makes even less sense! Why is Hongyeon, the guardian, destroying the world?”
“that……”
It was then. A straight red sword slash passed through Anton’s neck.
“Grandpa!”
Anton’s body disappeared into thin air.
“……A ghost? Well, it doesn’t matter.”
In the darkness, Hongyeon, holding a sword, was getting closer and closer.
A white aura, different from the red light, was flickering on the body.
“……Yuna.”
“Nemesis. If I kill you, everything will end.”
Her golden eyes, full of alertness, stared at me.
Do you really think that I am Nemesis?
“Be prepared.”
“No, wait a minute! I said it!”
Something red suddenly rushed towards me.
“……!”
And then the vision came to mind.
I realized too late that my neck and body had fallen. She was in her stance brandishing her sword.
I’m dead.
On her sword.
Tick. Tick.
Time began to flow backwards, like a radio tape turned backwards.
My neck was reattached to my body and Anton was alive too.
Soon my body was sucked into the black space again.
“You’re not ready yet.”
Anton’s voice was heard in the darkness. I hung my neck with a blank face. It was stuck properly.
“Guardians who deal with Nemesis are sincere. It is a kind of awakening. If you hesitate at all, you will die again and again.”
“Grandpa!”
I raised my voice.
“Teach me! Why is Hongyeon, or rather, the Guardian, destroying the world?”
At those words, Anton appeared next to me. He smiled mysteriously.
“Only a Guardian can kill Nemesis. This is why the planet’s defense system focuses its power on just one person. In fact, the Guardian exists to destroy Nemesis.”
“So why is that…”
“The Calamity was just one step ahead of the planet. Killing Nemesis is not the end.”
Anton put his hand on my shoulder. His memories came into my head.
“Aren’t you curious why Erendel was destroyed?”
The image of a woman appeared in my memory.
A woman with wavy blonde hair and a young but beautiful face.
Although she was a completely different person, I somehow thought she resembled Hongyeon.
“My granddaughter, Cynthia. I tried to raise her to be a wizard, but this damn planet made her a guardian.”
Cynthia’s parents lost their lives in a battle with demons. Her Cynthia was orphaned, and her son Anton took her in as his adoptive daughter and raised her. The two lived together for a long time and shared a deep bond.
At the age of 17, Cynthia accepted her destiny to hunt down demons to avenge her parents. By the time she turned 19, she had already become so powerful that no one could stop her, and people even praised her as the ‘Saint of Erendel’.
And when Cynthia turned twenty, Nemesis appeared.
The Erendelians, who possessed many extremely powerful wizards, poured all their capabilities into stopping Nemesis. At the last moment, Cynthia stabbed Nemesis with her sword and destroyed it.
But it was a beginning, not an end.
Nemesis’ soul entered Cynthia, who killed him, and only then did Nemesis fully awaken.
The fallen Cynthia single-handedly destroyed the world. In just three months, two empires and 17 kingdoms collapsed.
Humanity has even lost the ability to defend itself from monsters, and the world has become a monster paradise.
Just like that, Erendel disappeared.
“Do you understand now?”
The memory cleared and Anton took his hand off my shoulder.

“If we do not kill Nemesis, the world will be destroyed by monsters that multiply endlessly. If we kill Nemesis, the Guardian, the only being who can hurt Nemesis, will become corrupted and destroy the world.”
“……Is there really no other way?”
“It is your responsibility as the owner of the magic tower to find it.”
Anton looked at me.
“Maybe there is a way to induce the Guardian to kill Nemesis, and then eliminate the Guardian and Nemesis at once.”
Are you telling me to kill Hong Yeon now?
Before I could argue, my body began to come out of the spell of the ordeal.
“Come back when you’ve finished clearing your mind.”
* * *
Two days have passed since I showed up for the ordeal.
I feel like I spent those two days completely mesmerized.
You may be wondering what I’m doing during the busy period leading up to Nemesis, but what happened during the trials was quite a shock to me.
“It’s my brother! It’s my brother!”
Eunsol was on my lap again today, making a fuss.
She, who was chatteringly explaining what happened at school, suddenly glared at me with a sour expression.
“Oppa, are you listening to me?”
“……Uh, huh? What did you say?”
“Oppa, you idiot!”
“evil!”
She put her arms around my neck and hung on to me. My upper body was bent downward.
“My brother, you’ve been acting a little strange these past few days!”
Percussion.
At that time, Jin Jin-ra, who was sitting on the sofa across from me, put down her cell phone.
“Senior. What happened during the trial?”
… … I really can’t stand Jinbo in 5 years.
“Nothing happened.”
“If nothing special happened, why didn’t you tell us? What was the theme of the 8th floor ordeal and what came out of it? You originally told us about it and discussed it together.”
“Because it’s not even something to discuss.”
She pursed her lips and glared at me with suspicious eyes.
“As expected, there is something.”
It was then. A cluster of lights gathered in the air and Ea appeared.
“Tower owner, a candidate for the 7th floor manager has arrived.”
“Yes, tell them to come up.”
Fortunately, something happened at the right time.
Jin Jin-ra withdrew her suspicions and stood up.
“Sol, don’t disturb your brother, let’s go down now.”
“Huh? I don’t like it! I’m going to play with you more!”
Which organization would be best to consult regarding a middle school student’s severe lack of affection?
I shrugged my shoulders and said.
“Just sit down, you guys.”
“Oh my, is that okay?”
“You are also managers. This is a kind of interview, so please help me with the evaluation.”
“Oppa, you’re the best!”
After a while, the magic circle elevator flashed and an unfamiliar figure appeared.
He was in his early 40s, had sharp eyes, a thin body, and wore a white gown.
This person is a candidate for the 7th floor manager.
“My name is Derek Rosbash.”
America’s most famous genius and eccentric.
Although I awakened as a player in the middle, I continued to work as a scientist. He was also the one who created the base for the modern-day ‘hunting device’ weapon.
We got up and shook hands with him. EA served tea and dessert according to the number of people.
“I was a little surprised that you actually accepted my offer. I should say it was unexpected.”
Derek sat down and opened his mouth.
“I’m asking again just in case. The term of office is 6 months, during which time all authority over the project can be exercised, and information on the 7th floor of the Magic Tower as well as data from other worlds can be viewed.”
Derek, who had talked up to that point, lowered his head.
“And I won’t hold you back even if you return to the United States after your term ends. Is that correct?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
Jin Jin-ra and Eun-sol looked at me with surprised faces. Their reaction was that it was their first time hearing it.
“Maybe it’s because the conditions are so good… but I actually have doubts.”
Derek said, crossing his legs.
“Until now, the Magic Tower has maintained thorough security in its internal technology and facilities. Why are you revealing your technology to the world now? Not only me, but how many of the scientists participating in the project will remain in the Magic Tower? The Magic Tower “I’m curious about the Lord’s intentions.”
“The reason is simple.”
I continued speaking, clenching my chin.
“First of all, we have to survive.”
“…….”
“This is not the time to hide technology just to make a few extra bucks. The world may be destroyed in just six months, so all of humanity needs to work together.”
“It sounds like you are willing to take losses for the public good.”
I nodded.
“Of course I have to accept it. I will give you all the 7th floor data as well as all magical engineering-related technology. What you do with the data later is up to you. Instead, you must produce a result somehow within 6 months. That is all I ask.”
“Hmm.”
Derek pressed the bridge of his nose.
“The minimum time required to complete such a large-scale project is 3 years. 6 months is too tight…”
“Ah, you keep saying you’re pulling it out. Are you not confident?”
This time Derek’s expression hardened.
I kept talking.
“It’s okay to take away the technology. You can go back to your home country. They’ll give you everything you want, including money and materials? Isn’t that what you always say, ‘I don’t know what to make with limited government resources?’ So I will support everything. Yo. So is time the issue this time? Just live your life making excuses. Then.”
bang!
He jumped up, hitting the table with his knees.
“I will. General manager of the 7th floor project.”
“The determination is good, but it’s not a position where you can just do it just because Derek wants it.”
As soon as I finished speaking, five men and women in plain clothes rushed into the magic tower’s room from the magic circle elevator.
“Derek! Why are you here…!”
“I see that trash face here again.”
“Do you think I still forgot about the Nobel Prize?”
It seemed like everyone knew each other. Some even expressed outright hostility.
I said, spreading my arms.
“Yes, you are all candidates.”
The scientists’ eyes were filled with power.
These geniuses among geniuses, each of whom holds great authority, must know my intention to compete with them.
You might think that being so young is arrogant.
So, I plan to sow carrots here. Ea put down the papers on the table.
“This is a copy of the materials found on the 7th floor of the Magic Tower. Please take a look.”
The scientists’ eyes widened rapidly as they looked at the documents with indifferent expressions.
“DNA non-adhesive process? Does this technology exist…?”
“Mana control technology is at least 30 years ahead of modern times.”
Magic engineering is a technology that never existed on Earth. Once a scientist has had a taste of another level of technology, there is no way out.
While the scientists couldn’t take their eyes off the documents, I nodded.
Now I am in control. Even if you know my intentions, you will have no choice but to follow my words.
“I’ll give you 30 minutes from now.”
They jerked their heads up.
“I would like you to collect the data and tell me what kind of results you can achieve in 6 months if you become the general manager of the project, and what the basis is. Let’s listen to everything and select a general manager.”
I applauded.
“It starts now. I’m looking forward to seeing which of you will be the best.”
Sparks flew in the scientists’ eyes.
