Chapter 173
We immediately stood in the form of wrapping around the Lord of the Red Mage Tower.
‘The Lord of the Red Mage Tower is a fake?’
no. It can’t be.
The red mage tower lord’s mana and appearance, confirmed by my divine eye, were absolutely not fake.
In fact, the nature of the mana he sees right now belongs to the red mage tower lord himself. There is no point of suspicion.
“Everyone calm down. I don’t know what that gumiho felt for me, but I’m innocent.”
The Red Mage Lord, James Piller, raised both hands and gave the surrender sign.
“I don’t know the two, but Kangin. you know That I can’t be fake.”
“Stop James. stop at once Don’t come closer.”
The blue tower lord stopped the red tower lord with a bloody gaze.
“… … do you doubt me Just because of the gaze of one monster?”
The red mage tower lord burst into laughter.
It was such an expression that he couldn’t be this unfair.
“It’s just a monster. According to Ha Yul’s words, he boasts superior detection power than Ha Yul’s ‘Shinan’ in certain situations.”
“It’s a specific situation and what… … . Huh, true.”
The red mage tower lord burst into laughter. It’s a look that’s genuinely dumbfounded.
“If in doubt, try it. okay. You can ask Kangin about what only you and I know.”
“no. You cannot just follow what the suspects suggest.”
The blue mage lord and father spoke coldly in turn.
“It may have already absorbed and stolen all the memories of the Red Mage Tower Master.”
“Absorb all the memories of the target? Where is that ridiculous magic?”
“I can’t say for sure. Even if the magic that an executive named Tkish is using right now, it is magic that transcends recognition.”
In terms of absurd magic, there is no magic that can surpass Tkish’s resurrection magic.
As long as such magic exists, it wouldn’t be strange if there were magic that absorbs all of the target’s memories.
“… … Tsk. It’s a theory.”
Even the red mage tower master couldn’t seem to find anything to refute.
“Then what are you going to do? You want to stay like this?”
When he clicked his tongue, his expression became completely distorted, as if his annoyance had risen to the top of his head.
“Simple. Once I go back and detain you separately. You just have to come back.”
“… … Ah-oh.”
The red mage tower lord scratched the back of his head.
It can’t be like this even if it’s really ridiculous. It looked like he was claiming that.
“okay. Then do it.”
After replying with a smile, the Red Mage Lord suddenly came out and glared at the nine-tailed fox in my arms.
“That gumiho. I don’t know what the heck you saw in me, but if it’s the wrong thing or nothing… … .”
I didn’t even bother to say it out of my mouth.
But he seemed to know exactly what he was trying to say.
‘I’ll have to pay the price for insulting the Red Mage Tower lord.’
Those eyes were the eyes that said so.
“It would be better to be certain that this happened. strong man. Bind me.”
The red mage tower lord gathered both hands in front and made a gesture to tie them up.
“I wonder if it is necessary to go that far.”
On the contrary, the blue mage tower lord was even more flustered at that dignified appearance.
“no. If you’re going to do it, make sure you do it right. I don’t think so, but there’s a chance that I’m playing around with their tricks without me knowing.”
The red mage tower lord tapped his head.
It was a gesture indicating that there was a possibility that he might be under a mind-altering spell.
“… … okay.”
The blue tower lord took three steps forward and cast a spell on the red tower lord.
Binding using water attribute mana binds the limbs, and casts a water prison on top of that.
I narrowed my eyes as I watched the red mage tower lord being restrained like that.
Then he looked at Miho in his arms again.
A nine-tailed fox still looking at the red mage tower lord with a suspicious expression.
‘What the heck did he see from the red Mage Tower lord?’
I observed the Red Mage Tower Lord with everything I could, but I couldn’t find anything suspicious.
‘Has he really been subjected to mind-altering magic?’
Remnants of mind-altering magic cannot be discerned unless approached and checked.
If the red mage lord was under the mind manipulation magic and the aftermath was sensed by the nine-tailed fox, it wouldn’t make sense.
‘It’s common knowledge that mental manipulation magic doesn’t work for the 7th and 8th circles of the archmage. As long as you see T’Kish’s magic, it’s not strange that there is a mind manipulation magic that can be applied to 8th circle wizards as well.’
Common sense is of no help in dealing with the Black Magic Tower. Let go of common sense and think with all possibilities open.
‘Once, once the blue mage lord finishes restraining, check the remnants of the mind manipulation magic.’
After confirming that, you should be able to figure out something by ruling out other possibilities one by one.
“End of redemption.”
“… … Even if you tie it, it is tied very tightly.”
Just in time, the restraint of the blue mage tower master ended.
The physical restraints as well as the mana restraints that restrict the movement of mana are perfect.
The red mage tower lord in that state poses no threat.
I slowly approached the Lord of the Red Mage Tower.
“Let me check in a moment.”
“… … after. okay. Feel free to do whatever you want.”
The red mage tower lord said, ‘Eh. It’s my darling,’ he nodded his head with an assertive look.
Permission has been dropped, so there is nothing to hesitate about.
I immediately inspected the body of the Red Mage Tower Lord.
I put my hand on my chest and looked for the remnants of mana.
I put my hand on my head and searched for the remnants of suggestion.
‘… … Is there anything wrong?’
I thought something would come out.
There was nothing wrong with the body of the Red Mage Tower Lord.
Not gray, perfect white.
It was pure white, without a hint of turbidity.
“Did you find something?”
The blue mage lord carefully asked.
“… … no. I couldn’t find anything. There is nothing strange about it.”
“Look at that. Because it’s not. What kind of nonsense is that damn fox staring at you?”
At my answer, the red mage tower lord exploded. The anger that had been suppressed until now exploded properly.
‘There’s no way there’s nothing strange about it.’
I looked at Miho in my arms once again.
Miho is still glaring at the Lord of the Red Mage Tower.
The bright red eyes are full of hostility and murderous intent that cannot be hidden.
“If you have any doubts, release them. If you still have doubts, go back and leave me and come down again.”
“… … What should I do?”
“hmm.”
The blue mage tower lord and father opened their eyes sharply and were lost in thought.
“… … wait for a sec.”
At that time, Charles opened his eyes wide as if he noticed something.
Everyone’s eyes were focused on Charles.
“That little fox. I don’t think he’s looking at the red pagoda owner… … ?”
“yes?”
“what?”
I quickly identified Miho in my arms.
“Everyone seems to be looking at the Red Mage Tower Lord?”
However, contrary to what Charles said, Miho was clearly looking at the red Mage Lord.
“It will be like that now.”
Charles came to me.
“Did you just raise your arms slightly while lowering your head to look at the little fox?”
“yes? yes.”
In order to see the direction Miho’s eyes were going in my arms, I needed to lower my gaze and slightly lift Miho up.
As Charles said, he did raise his arm. Very little, but that’s it.
“The trajectory of the line of sight changed with that minute difference in height.”
Charles grabbed my arm and lowered it.
Miho’s altitude gradually decreases.
And that moment when it was lower than a certain level.
“… … !”
“… … indeed.”
Everyone’s eyes, including mine, widened.
“That little fox wasn’t looking at the red pagoda owner.”
Miho’s gaze, which had lowered in altitude, was not directed at the Lord of the Red Mage Tower.
What Miho is looking at is below it.
“What the little fox was looking at was behind the Red Mage Tower Master. It is the shadow of the red pagoda.”
It was a black shadow following the Lord of the Red Mage Tower.
While holding Miho, I moved to my seat behind the red mage lord.
It was to move at an angle where the red tower lord would not get caught between the shadow of the red tower lord and Miho.
Charles took a seat in front of me and Miho and moved mana.
“… … I’m sure.”
Miho was definitely looking at the shadow.
“And this is true, ironically, the executive I saw inside the 3rd magic stone warehouse dealt with shadows?”
Standing in a position that seemed to protect me, I entered a full combat posture.
“It was Codename Shadow.”
My father immediately took up a combat stance.
“His behavior or position at the time. Given his abilities, his primary role is likely to be covert action. I mean, it’s a good person to hide in a place like this.”
The blue mage tower lord also immediately entered the war situation.
The water droplets that filled the surroundings added even more density.
“… … strong man. Release this restraint.”
The restraints that bound the Lord of the Red Mage Tower were lifted in an instant.
“Leave the defense. I will go at full power.”
and the next moment.
Rurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
the world is on fire
Blue flames, like the identity of the red mage tower, filled the surroundings.
It was like a scene from hell.
“okay. Leave it to me.”
mongsil, mongsil.
Hundreds of millions and trillions of water droplets enveloped such hell.
It filled the surroundings in a form that seemed to imprison that hellfire.
Soon, the flames and water chambers became a double-structured dome.
“Come out. This is a baby to eat. ”
In the center of the Colosseum of Fire and Water, the Red Mage Tower gnashed its teeth.
The blood cross floating on his forehead was clearly showing his anger.
Fire, fire, fire!
The blue flame was concentrated in one place and formed the shape of a bird.
Dahlia’s special move was the “Royal Dance of the Resurrecting Bird”.
“I don’t speak twice.”
It filled the inside of the dome.
A total of 12 fire birds were created. Each one contains the power that overwhelms the power of Dahlia’s ‘Royal Dance of the Resurrecting Bird’.
Even if I just brushed against that magic, I would be reduced to ashes.
‘This is the power of the Mage Master who stands at the pinnacle of wizards… … .’
I involuntarily got goosebumps.
This is the archmage standing at the pinnacle of fire. I was in awe.
“okay. It won’t come out like this.”
The flames expanded.
an imminent situation.
In a bloody atmosphere reminiscent of the moment before flame meets oil.
“Then follow through. It’s a chew. ”
Twelve birds started their lessons.
The target is the shadow of the Lord of the Red Mage Tower. The 12 firebirds fell down with the momentum to eat everything in the world through the Q&A dance.
Aaaaaaaaaagh-!
The interior of the Colosseum of Fire and Water was filled with explosions.
The force was so strong that the dome made of water was distorted.
It was like rubber stretching in all directions.
“Whiyu. It’s hot.”
Looking at that figure, Charles smiled.
It’s an expression that I like very cool.
“I can’t see it because of the smoke. Cheongtapju. Calm down the deflagration inside with moisture… … .”
It was when Charles was about to ask Kim Kang-in to clear the smoke in order to check the war situation inside.
Swoouuuuuu-!
Darkness suddenly expanded.
As if trying to swallow everything in the world. It swallowed up not only the deflagration, but also the remnants of the Blue Flame and the overflowing mana.
Soon, the darkness swallowed up even the Colosseum of Water made by Kim Kang-in.
“… … My schedule was messed up.”
A voice was heard from within.
A voice that seems to have been altered.
To put it in words, it was a voice as if the darkness was speaking directly.
“I think I was a bit careless the moment the security was lifted, but I didn’t expect them to detect my presence.”
The expanded darkness concentrated on a single point again.
Then, the concentrated darkness soon became a mass of shadows taking the shape of a human.
“It’s quite good.”
The shadows shook.
As if he was happy that his true identity was discovered.
Like this situation is so fun right now.
The shadows were trembling with joy.
