Part 2 Episode 55
Shiro
smart!
After knocking lightly, Elric opened the door to the head office and went inside.
Guy was sitting in the center of the room.
“I heard you called me.”
“You’re here. “How is your body?”
“Thanks to you, I’ve improved a lot.”
Although there is still some pain left. However, it wasn’t to the point where I couldn’t move.
“Thank goodness. Since this is the situation, let’s get straight to the point. “Come this way.”
As I headed to the desk where Guy was sitting, the entire map of the continent came into view.
There were words of various shapes placed on the map.
As Elric sat down next to him, Guy chuckled and curled the corners of his mouth.
“I found it.”
Elric knew immediately what he said.
The Bureau of Inspection has finally found a place where biological experiments are being conducted.
It was much faster than expected.
Should I say that it is an ability worthy of a magic tower lord?
“Where is that place?”
As Elric asked, Guy traced one side of the map with his finger.
The words ‘Ghost Castle’ were written there.
It is the home base of the assassins who attacked them when they crossed over from Hyulan to the Imperial Capital.
Guy said as he picked up one of the horses that had been set up around him like a siege.
“All the War Mages of the Magic Tower have already gathered there.”
widely!
Guy continued speaking as he put his horse down on the ghost castle.
“Several layers of barriers have been surrounded by skilled people, so it won’t be easy to escape.”
Guy was ranting.
That probably means that I am confident in this matter.
There won’t be a single lie there.
Elric also laughed the same way.
“Then I guess we can use this opportunity to completely eradicate the Inspection Bureau?”
“yes.”
Other important materials will also be hidden in the Ghost Castle, but if you just get the evidence related to the biological experiments, you will be able to send the Inspection Bureau to hell.
“But it doesn’t end there.”
“then… ?”
Guy’s eyes sparkled.
“If we do it well, I don’t know if we can keep the entire Sajagong family at bay.”
Since it is a Sajagong family that is close to the Inspection Bureau, there is bound to be some connection.
Elric noticed it there.
That Guy’s true purpose lies right there.
perhaps.
‘Once this incident is over, the situation may completely turn over…’ .’
The magic tower can stand on top of Lion Gongga.
* * *
After all discussions are over.
Elric and Guy went straight to the area where the ghost castle was.
It was quick to arrive by using the teleport gate operated by the Magic Tower itself.
Hehe!
A fierce wind blew along a very narrow and high canyon.
Because of its rugged cliffs and gloomy atmosphere, ‘Blade’s Canyon’ is not visited by many people except natives.
Residents were introduced around the area, and there were layers of barriers spread out from the Magic Tower around it.
“Are you here?”
The field commander who discovered Guy approached and bowed.
“What is the situation?”
“It’s still the same. “We succeeded in discovering the fortress that was hidden by stealth magic between the crevices of the canyon, but it is not moving from there.”
“Okay. Good luck.”
“yes!”
The commander answered briefly and immediately returned to his seat.
Guy and Elric passed through the barrier and entered deep inside.
Far away.
I could see a fortress built precariously above a steep gorge.
Should I say that it looks like a witch’s castle from a fairy tale?
If there was something like that, there is no way it wouldn’t have been seen all this time, but as reported, it seemed like it had been hiding it all this time using stealth magic.
The ghost castle almost felt like it was hanging in the night sky.
And between the cliff where Elric was and the cliff where the ghost castle was, there was a suspension bridge that was very unstable and was shaking back and forth in the wind.
Elric couldn’t help but laugh as he opened his mind’s eye wide and looked around.
“You probably have no intention of coming out at all?”

As expected, the barrier was not only established at the Magic Tower.
The area around the ghost castle was also filled with layers of different types of barriers.
It seemed like they absolutely did not want to allow any intrusion from the outside.
Magic such as shooting down, explosion, and strong wind were imprinted on it. There was no doubt that they were planning to stage a sit-in protest.
“Why on earth did you leave that skybridge intact?”
“They said they were going to cut us off if we tried to cross. “It’s a report that there is an explosion spell at the end of the bridge.”
“Is there any other way than that?”
“As you can see.”
Guy shrugged.
Elric narrowed his eyes.
What if we just wanted to pass through the canyon rather than the viaduct?
The rugged cliffs were so high that it seemed difficult to climb.
‘It would be easy to become a target for sniping.’
The same goes for infiltrating with flight magic.
The shoot-down magic imprinted on the barrier over there will be activated immediately.
Kwakwakwak!
Moreover, its durability was so strong that it did not flinch even when the War Mages were bombarding it repeatedly.
It seemed like the inspection bureau had made it into a truly disgusting place.
‘So, in the end, even if you know their intentions, you have no choice but to cross the skybridge… .’
What if I could break the barrier? Because in the current situation, there was only one way to get to the Ghost Castle.
I felt like I couldn’t even dream of a secret passage because the place was so small.
‘It’s not easy to let go.’
Elric scratched his head in frustration.
Even though I didn’t want to follow their intentions and tried to wait until the barrier was broken, if the support army arrived from the other side, winning or losing would become more difficult, so it was necessary to end it quickly.
Currently, because the attack was aimed at a surprise attack, no countermeasures have been prepared on the other side.
But if the Golden Lion or Cromhell comes with an iron plate on their face, things get more complicated.
Either step down or have a real external conflict.
You’ll have to choose one of the two.
Therefore, it was necessary to obtain information related to the biological experiment before the cheering squad arrived.
‘That doesn’t mean I can step forward.’
It was difficult to move carelessly unless one knew how powerful the ghost castle was.
Guy seemed to have similar thoughts.
“If only there was a way to shake the entire barrier… hmm?”
While muttering like that, a thought suddenly occurred to me.
The corners of Elric’s mouth curled up.
『It’s a smile that doesn’t look very pleasant.』
Mephisto shook his head because he knew that when Elric laughed like that, something serious would happen.
“I had a good idea.”
“Do I have any good ideas?”
“yes.”
Elric responded cheerfully and called out to Hyul.
“You know what I’m going to say, right?”
This is how you use me.
Hyul grumbled as if it was absurd, but he didn’t seem to have any intention of turning down Elric’s request.
Right at that moment.
Cuckoo… !
The shadow of the ghost castle lying low on the cliff began to sway greatly.
“what?”
“Why is it suddenly shaded…” ?”
“Well, the shadow is moving!”
The War Mages, who had not received any notice, sensed an ominous energy and all stopped using bombing magic and took a few steps back.
[Everyone can calm down.]
I came to my senses from the message magic sent by Guy and raised my head.
[Because that is Elric Mervinger’s great magic.]
“Mervinger’s… ?”
“A magic wave of this magnitude… .”
“How vast a cognitive domain do you have?”
Those who walked the same magic path could only marvel at the idea that they were trying to interfere with this wide area of space.
It couldn’t be clearer than this that Elric was already on par with the various wise men of the Six Mange Castle.
Ahhhhh!
The shadow that had been fluttering soared tens of meters high, and before I knew it, the ghost castle was below.
It worked out just in time. I needed a place to relieve the stress I already felt from this annoying human being.
Tsutsutsutsu-
Hyul took the form of a beast and looked down at the ghost castle.
His lower body was spinning around like a ghost.
Using the shadow as a medium, they succeeded in completely surrounding the barrier.
‘Good.’
After Elric’s first attempt was successful, he clenched his wide open fist.
“【Swing】.”
Along with the words, Hyul’s demonic power also increased.
Wow!
Hull let out a harsh roar and swung the claws of his huge front paws wildly.
Crumbling-
Wild explosion. A tremendous roar. An earthquake that shook the canyon.
Huge claw marks were left on the barrier.
“her!”
“You’re crazy… .”
The war mages were amazed. For the first time, traces remained that even bombardment magic could not produce.
It’s so powerful that even Guy lets out a slight gasp.
“【Run away】.”
And the moment Elric allowed Hul’s freedom, Hul’s eyes glowed fiercely and the fight began.
Boom boom boom!
The bridge began to shake violently due to the tremendous vibration.
Rocks fell patter from the cliff.
Every time that happened, the barrier shook dangerously.
Weeeeing-
The magic planted in the barrier was activated all at once. Dozens of magic circles embroidered in the sky rotated in unison.
Peeeeee-
Peeing-
Rays of blue-green light pierced holes all over Hull’s body.
under! Compared to those damn ‘eyes’, this is nothing more than an itch.
This refers to Augustine’s White Nights.
The pierced area was quickly filled with demonic energy. When Hul realized that the barrier had no significant effect on him, he raised his fist high and slammed it down violently.
Kwaaaaaaaa!
Kwasik, Kwazizig-
Fuuuuuuu!
The first barrier explodes like a firecracker.
“【Appear】.”
Everyone, from the shadows still surrounding the barrier to the mercenary soldiers, were summoned and stabbed the inner barrier.
Of course, the dragon soldiers were equally destroyed by the shooting magic.
“【Appear again】.”
The dragon soldier, who was just a summoned beast, could be summoned again as many times as he wanted even if he was reverse summoned.
Almost infinite supply and demand is possible. In addition, there was Shina’s seal that quickly restored magical power, so the physical burden was less.
Bang bang bang!
Doo doo doo!
“and… !”
The war mages were now watching the scene blankly, shedding only admiration.
“what are you doing? “Hurry up and stop bombing.”
“iced coffee! “I have to do it.”
“I was going to do it now anyway.”
“Let us help!”
Only after hearing Elric’s rebuke did the bombing magic resume again.
Kwazijijik!
Crumbling!
Attacks encompassing the entire barrier.
and.
quaddddddd-
The remaining barriers could not withstand and were all shattered.
“Now!”
Elric, seeing this, quickly threw himself onto the bridge.
“Follow Elric!”
“Wow!”
And about half of the War Mages started running along.
It was the beginning of a siege.
