Welcome to the Magic Tower

30 – Stop it!!!!

…… I opened my eyes.

At the same time, what I felt was that my head hurt terribly and that the surroundings were a little noisy.

I grabbed my head, stood up, and looked around blankly.

It was a rather wide joint.

A cave filled with yellow-brown rocks, including the ceiling, walls, and floor.

“…… What are you doing?”

For me, whose last memory was the office, I had no choice but to complain of anxiety.

Could it be that the work life I enjoyed for a week was all just a ‘Oh, f*cking dream’?

Ah, where are all the rooms with my cozy office and luxurious bed?

No, I mean, was it too happy a reality for me, who was only a Hassan of the Mage Tower, to go through?!

“…… Life is so fleeting-“

“This team leader!”

Somewhere familiar…… ,

Yes, I heard the voice of my loyal subordinate, Deputy Johnson.

I hurriedly turned my head toward it.

Glossy bald head with tanned skin like Nutella chocolate…… !

It must have been Assistant Manager Johnson!

He had a very serious face, but I was relieved.

‘…… Oh, it’s not a dream.’

In that case! Unless it’s a dream! Unless it’s overtime for a month!

There is nothing in the world that I cannot overcome now!

I asked Assistant Manager Johnson, who was running around with a big smile on his face.

“Chief Johnson! Where are you now! What’s the matter again!”

“…… Are you completely unaware of the situation? A monster called a blood lion invades… , All non-combatants were evacuated here, to the secret basement of the castle.”

After listening to Johnson’s explanation, I took a closer look at the inside of the cavity.

Certainly there were so many people living in the castle that it seemed like there were so many people in the community.

‘…… It must be something serious.’

I’ve heard that our Xiaofang family is quite strong.

I don’t know what kind of guy the Blood Lion is, but it looks like he’s strong enough to fight.

“More than that, we need the team leader’s excellent insight! If you are feeling well, could you please come with me?”

“Umm, where are you? If my insight is so necessary, it is only natural for me to show it.”

I smiled benevolently and nodded readily. Deputy Johnson was moved to tears.

Anyway, following his guidance, I arrived at a place that looked like an operation headquarters room.

A cutting-edge visual with a large screen hanging on the front wall and monitors lined up in a cascading fashion behind it.

“…… This stimulates some romance.”

If you watch a war or disaster movie, a place like this appears every once in a while.

Feeling like a high-ranking official, I was led into a group of serious-looking people in the front.

Among them, an old butler whom I occasionally encountered in the hallway greeted me with a smile.

“Oh, manager Lee. I’m so glad the existence seems to be fine!”

“Ha ha ha! Thank you for your concern. Why did you seek me more than that?”

“Ah… …. Please look at the screen before explaining.”

I followed the old butler’s words and looked at the screen in front of me.

Thump thump! Papababat! A series of flashy explosions and smoke billowing scenes.

Honestly, I don’t know what the situation is, but I looked at it intently.

“…… An evil enemy called the Blood Lion has invaded the fortress. Almost all of the combatants are sticking together to continue the battle, but struggling. In the end, it is expected to fail. It came to the conclusion that a decision had to be made before reaching the outcome.”

“…… Well, then what is that decision?”

“Originally, ships have guns attached to them. Likewise, our fortress and ship, ‘Skidbladnir,’ has a secret weapon mounted on it.”

“…… Uh, then am I aiming at it or do I need to time it?”

“No. That’s not it. The manager has other things to do. I’m really sorry, and it’s a difficult request….”

An old butler blurting his horse’s tail.

I slowly blinked and looked at him, thinking.

No, you talk for a long time. Would it be too much if you just tell me the conclusion?

Still, I wonder if the old butler barely listened to my wish, and after a long build-up, he finally told me what to do.

The old butler spread his hands wide.

“Here is a green key and a red key in the palm of my hand.”

“Yes, I can see it.”

“One is the key to order the weapon to attack, and the other is the key to order the fortress to self-destruct.”

“…… Yes?”

The old butler spoke with a very pitiful expression, almost clinging to me.

“…… Well, I don’t know which one is for attack and which one is for self-destruct! As soon as you insert it, it will be activated immediately……. Please distinguish with this team leader’s excellent insight…… !”

“… ….”

I blinked again and looked alternately at the old butler’s face and palm.

And then, he sighed.

“…… Huh.”

I couldn’t say it in front of an adult, so I couldn’t say it out loud.

Oh my gosh.

Quang! Quaang! Quaang!

Yuhanna hit the ax one after another with a very annoyed face.

However, Marco, the Sword Saint, stumbles as if he is about to collapse, but manages to take blows that will bring the mountain down again and again.

The reason was simple.

‘…… It’s a little harsh. The things behind.’

Hannah glanced at the hundreds of wizards who were giving buffs to the swordsmen in front of them.

A very inefficient act of overlapping buffs on only one target. But that’s why the opponent is holding on.

With him…… ,

Taaang——!

She tried to follow up with her blows, but she knocked off an arrow stealthily flying from her blind spot.

The strength of her ax contained in her self-confidence is comparable to that of her own axe.

That’s why even though she was a finite country, it was only a moment, but her body had no choice but to stiffen.

Aiming for that gap, the magic is activated.

Deed Deed ─ Yuhanna moved her body forcibly, even if it took her subordinates to feel her magic response under her feet.

As her body evades from her seat, her magma rises through the layers of her body.

Quang! Quaang! Quaang! Eruptions of magma occur in succession whenever she sets her foot on her land.

As expected, even when she is flying in the air, arrows fly continuously.

Chaeeng—!

Furthermore, the Sword Master’s relentless counterattack.

Hannah Yu was troubled as she easily received the blow of conversion. She

She tried to organize things one by one, starting with the middle-aged swordsman in front of her, but she felt like they had to change the order.

‘…… Rather than a fire mage in the rear, I should start by cutting off the ankles of archers who go back and forth between the castle walls and watchtowers.’

Yeah, it would be easier to organize everything that way.

The Apostle of War, who had made that decision, looked forward to the time when the archer easily raised his head.

Rearguard.

Hidden among the wizards, Xiao Fang held onto the green orb and waited patiently.

She never took her eyes off her battlefield, longing for the moment when she could see the gap between her blood messengers.

‘…… If it shows a gap.’

Immediately use the Spirit Prison to activate the [Bind] Magic and seal that blood messenger.

And then, all the wizards, black-class personnel, and the ship’s weaponry poured intensive fire at the same time.

That is a very simple and violent method of punishment that Xiao Fang chose after much thought.

Even if the blood lion tried to counter it with 『Reversal』 Or 『Nullification』, It was useless.

[Binding] Using the top-class relic spirit prison won’t allow any resistance.

Besides, this was a type of magic that would hit unconditionally if the opponent didn’t know.

Xiao Fang said it was a pity to use the artifact, but she was confident in the operation itself. She

She also found her thread, which seemed to be the reason for her identification, and attached it to the pile, and made sure of her concealment with special care.

She waited for the right moment, confident that no matter how bloody she was, she would not know where she was now.

…… I’m sure he didn’t even know right before the magic was activated, and he would only know his location after he was sealed.

“…… But why hasn’t there been a call from headquarters?”

Are you still not ready for all-out weapons? I thought it would end soon, but it’s a big deal.

Xiao Fang tilted her head but kept her eyes on her battlefield.

She would be sure if she even had the weaponry on the ship, but if it seemed too late, she had to seal it right away.

Quang! Quaang! Quaang!

Almost all of Marco, the ‘sword saint’, was dying while receiving the insanely powerful axe.

There is always a limit to how you can survive with buffs.

…… When will the time come

Xiao Fang, who had been concentrating her eyes on the battlefield so much that her eyes would fall out, suddenly…… ,

Puong-!

She heard a cute explosion somewhere.

‘What is it? Aren’t we the wizards?’

It was different from the sound of an ax hit by a blood lion or an archer releasing a bowstring.

It was far from the sound of a building collapsing, much less the sound of Marco panting.

…… What then?

Xiao Fang knew that she couldn’t look away on the battlefield, but her head was already turning on its own.

And then, she saw.

The figure of Lee Jin-woo rising into the sky through the ejection port connected from the basement.

“…… Her?”

No, why are you out there?

Xiao Fang widened her eyes and mouth and croaked like an idiot.

It was an unexpected Lee Jin-woo.

On the other hand, Yuhanna, who received swords, arrows, and magic, suddenly realized that the distance between Lee Jin-woo and Lee Jin-woo, who were connected by the thread of fate, was getting closer.

More and more…… ,

…… No, it rises from the ground?

Puong-!

Looking at Lee Jin-woo, who suddenly rises from the ground and flies in the sky, Yuhan-na smiles brightly for a moment, not even thinking that it might be a trap.

It was so nice to see his face after a long time…… ,

Also, it was because I thought that the appearance of Lee Jin-woo rising from the middle of the battle was very similar to his crazy spirit.

She soon felt her shame that she was showing her own violent side and the joy that she was finally revealing some of her true self,

And…… ,

Quang! Quaang! Quaang!

She struck her sword with all her might, feeling a sense of mission to rescue him from the kidnapper’s lair as soon as possible.

Her For her, this was her pandemonium.

Yuhanna displayed her extreme skill in breaking and let her sword flow like flowing water, then ran towards Lee Jin-woo with all her might.

By using all the magic power available on your legs, you will fly off the ground!

…… It’s Jinwoo! I’ll be there soon! Wait!

“Fight!”

Xiaofang exclaimed urgently.

And then I came to the idea that it would be better to activate the sealing magic instead of flying through the sky to retrieve Lee Jin-woo.

She hurriedly breathed her magic into the spirit prison and cast her spell… ,

“…… In-.”

“Stop fighting!!!!!”

At that time, the voice of a certain madman resounded in the middle of the battlefield.

The madman, who had been waving his arms in the air, managed to keep his balance and shouted again.

“Stop fighting!”

After saying that, Lee Jin-woo thought to himself while looking at his best friends alternately with a very bright face.

──I have come to end the war.

.

Yhanna, the ‘blood lion’ who invaded the fortress, is a friend, and ‘Xiaofang’, the boss of the Xiaofang family who blocks it, is her best friend.

So, obviously, if you cast “Stop fighting!”, The battle will stop.

The man who caused it all smiled, satisfied with his delusion.

Quang! Quaang! Quaang! Quaang!

“…… What?”

However, as Lee Jin-woo saw Yuhan-na running madly through her fire, he realized that something was wrong with her…….
