Chapter 130: Mages of the Tower (8)
DacMCpQI returned to the Academy with Lady Josephine. Since they carried out the attack on Josephine, it was highly likely that they were going to continue the plan by kidnapping Marie and murdering the chairman.xzQ
DV77OQOf course, everything had been prepared already.rtLvC
2DlGru“Senior Marie!”YkbVZ
f793NAfter returning to the dormitory, I found Marie waiting for us.V06TpSK
3XjAqfI“Korin!”oQJ
6yMAFOVShe welcomed me with a smile as Doggo also appeared from her shadows.4iT
KMv“Did everything go well? Are you okay?”j6s
p4E“Uun… You see…”Cswn
me7xMarie fidgeted for a while, before giving a shocking response.Flgh
qoPDr“No one… attacked me.”6Zk
vwiF5“Sorry?”bxsx9
FmFO“I went outside today and created the best stage for them to attack me and yet… Nothing happened until I arrived at the Academy.”5mX
eVMHow could this be?lqkg
cOPzjThe seal on Lady Josephine would have lasted only 3 days at best, and Master Erin was going to return soon as well. Now should have been the best time for them to attack Marie.d2hGuXI
lZJ“…There’s no way they can attack both at once though.”vjT
E8qElder Admelech had gone off to seal Lady Josephine and the original plan would have been for Elder Morushtan to kidnap Marie. At the same time, the Great Golden Mage Adelene would murder the chairman. That would have been the best way to allocate the right people to the right task.bmZhjD
xo5R0MHowever, Elder Morushtan was under arrest by the paladins of the New Faith because of my report, so there was no way they had enough manpower to attack Marie and the chairman at once.12h5Bi
h7biUnlike the original storyline, Marie wasn’t imprisoned and was instead an unprecedented mage and a Unique Grade vampire. Kidnapping her without Elder Morushtan would be impossible so I thought Lord Adelene and the group would prioritize kidnapping her while the chairman was away.KR6iE7
ozX5TyThat was why we spread the news of Dunareff Fresh Produce and made her leave the Academy.wVjAe
VqOODVWe had been creating a trap so that it would be easy for them to attack Marie and yet…PsU0X
K1LtO1“Did they figure it out? Or more like, where are the mages right now, Senior?”YZD
HM5“…We also went looking for the mages straight away after returning to the Academy but… we couldn’t find anyone.”mG1ixXX
GAjm9GQ30 mages of the Tower evaporated at once. What did this suggest?lyQXq
FghEUHHDid they give up and leave the city because of Morushtan’s arrest? That was impossible. If that was the case, there was no need for them to seal Lady Josephine in the first place.b4Y
ZtKpJfThey took action and those 30 mages should have headed somewhere with a plan in mind.guZjVd
fop48“The professors are looking for them right now but… we have no clue where they went.”8AFsv
pIT1QCX“What in the…”3gO9oOX
aZKkIt was making me uneasy. Something had definitely gone off-course, but where did it go wrong and what was it?akxL
IZG“Do you want to know where the mages of the Tower have gone off to?”LZyB
QeGdIThat was when a sensuous voice reached our ears. At the source of the sound was a female student wearing a reddish-black dress, staring at us with a cunning smile on her face.P0XqAF
rEQ“Your Highness Miruam.”Qbk4A8e
6ZYWMiruam Elizabeth El Rath. Her eyes met with mine.7ouFyn
Ayp“Do you know where the mages…”VlfO
egcN6I stopped in the middle of the question. Was there a point in asking such a thing? The Tower of Mages was one of the powerful sponsors for the princess. Even if she knew something, there should be no reason for her to tell us about it.XAC
EGECf“Senior Korin. Shall we have a little conversation?”qNkuk
vynbnLifting the corners of her lips, Princess Miruam invited me to her room. Unlike the fanciness of her own self, her room was rather simple and lacked decorations.xaSUJEz
WenOverall, the room had a cold tone of colors and a practical placement of furniture. It seemed even more desolate than how it looked when I came here at the start of the semester.HvY
DTB“I know where the mages have gone.”wXkf9
jD0cThat was the first thing she said to me after entering the room.mZYiqu
hjCQ“What do you want from me in return?”e0ACP
w2Q6o9y“Let’s see. I wonder how much we should put on stake?”Zmmh73Y
MRbxde0“…”mFAw6kP
FfQnYSeeing me deeply looking back into her eyes, Princess Miruam returned a faint smile.8zyKW6
2ZoO“It’s very important to me.”1IaQ
8EG7o9“I know. And it is just as important for me.”KdD
eJQDpTZThis woman… She knew what I was trying to do to the Tower.8JjZkwv
uUJGKThen this would inevitably become a deal, but how would I be able to pay the price matching the fall of the Tower of Mages, one of her most powerful sponsors?h8Q
ObG1AS2“…”yHoki
3scThere was… only one way for me to pay enough price for the fall of the Tower.v9M
QBPS1A7“I will…”tuX0tjd
c8G“The Tower has gone to hunt the wolves. It is something I have confirmed directly with my ‘snake’ so it’s certain.”T0O
Acj0HB“…”4QY9Mw
2HXkaI was lost for words. Just a little more patience and she would have gotten what she was after so… why?Iz56U56
tXYlIHowever, I didn’t have time to sit here thinking, because it was obvious why the Tower would be after the siblings.ro6e
AnbySDK“Thank you.”W4sYTuS
fHhd“You know.”4igk6w
zTf85iShe said, making me momentarily stick to the ground.Stj
WnpriRs“I have given up quite a lot. There will be no next time.”zQk2uKl
wkeJcp“…”ohX
Gh9qPplRight. I knew what she valued even more than the Tower of Mages. Her hatred and rage, and how she was waiting for the opportunity…ZgME
dAqm“We will say I owe you one.”en2uyQ
2PSD“Fufu. I know, and you will definitely have to pay the price for this.”8OjP
wuq5I wasn’t sure what she was thinking but… what I did know was that Princess Miru – Miruam Elizabeth El Rath – would never do something that put her at a loss.4g44
QCah5However, my first priority right now was saving the siblings.CVBo5
6efLHtE****mBbIJ1
7ZnJaDistance and location did not matter in the slightest. With the help of the overpowered teleporter, Josephine Clara, we immediately arrived at the western mountain range where the prac lesson was taking place.grV9MC
urwhn“The forest… is strange.”x06D8i
DaZL2lThe howls and roars of the boars echoing throughout the mountains were proof that something strange was happening inside. In that mountain would be the freshmen students taking their prac lesson.6uWql
UgPQQuickly, I designed a plan.mMP
Owt“I will go together with Senior Marie and Doggo. We will go looking for the twins.”JLsPD0z
AxshL1h“Sure. But… I believe the twins would be in the most danger right now.”AsF8OS1
hGUi84O“It doesn’t matter.”CYb9Z9
9rNoIt was my job to protect them – an obvious duty of mine as the guardian.5Aa
UGNz“Doggo!”a9aBj3F
EK1JSenior Marie called out as Doggo revealed himself from her shadows. He was the second fastest out of everyone here after Hua Ran.BmOk
2Dwj2x“Doggo. Do us a favor.”yie
UdDI let him take a sniff of one of the items that were in the twin’s room. After smelling it, Doggo pointed at a direction.niLq
UfNA5“Let’s go, Korin!”x031
Dwn2VkMarie got on Doggo who then immediately kicked off the ground.RsTDJ
rAXY“Woof!”WdBUB
Kf1ICL8I followed them from behind and soon, we arrived at the middle of the mountain where we found Ren who was encircled by black mages… and a young man.Ucn5lfF
s1XzVBPThe handsome young boy with blonde hair who appeared around the same age as me, was being made to kneel on the ground by the surrounding black mages.2OAsx
eEIIjcRon… He must have grown.9Dw
enZIt seemed that the child had chosen to become an adult to fight them off. Seeing that made me feel proud yet remorseful at the same time, because that proved that my fences as the adult had been insufficient.L5iQ7kN
b6tEx“Korin, look…!”elC
yMvpQKMarie said while pointing at Ren, who was on the ground with a spear penetrating through her stomach.gCIi7l
ZgAIm1“Those motherfuckers…!”jlD
zeuMLI was about to run off immediately but stopped momentarily upon sensing a strange aura emanating out of Ron. It was a thick, rusty and sticky fog of mana that did not suit the bright golden wolf in the slightest.PkC
ZYHtRI“I will kill you… All of you. I will definitely kill every one of you…”uCVx
uHN8『I will kill you… All of you. I will definitely kill every one of you…』gx1zT
dVTXHYRHis words reminded me of the past.cjd
UDilYYCBoth the game and the last iteration.9Pyg
1eYNjThe wolf siblings depended on and loved each other so endearingly, and one of them would go berserk and morph into something else whenever the other was defeated first.77M
4gH2r“This is looking dangerous. Just in case, stay here with Doggo please, Senior Marie. I will go there by myself.”DtF
1S4“Korin. Will you be alright?”bv3g5VW
wpuR17“Yes. Don’t worry.”jS7PlZ
7nc4pWhat reached my ears straight after Marie’s voice of concern was Ren’s groan and plea.qghUSYu
jK9ed“Please… help us.”q8N3IA
0eGLvIdI had to answer her call.AUj4fUc
LTVPY3K“Please save us, oraboni…”mMql
1fQdn7“Hmph…! No matter what you say, there’s no one who’s going to save you bitch… kuak!?”MfoOLP
m4j9vDashing forth, I smacked the guy on his face.dlb
PBPJ– Kaduduk!rgP44v
ZhZThe old mage miserably rolled across the ground several times. Without even bothering to look at him, I quickly checked how Ren was faring.mY9
mtVF62“You’re late…”wph
xFDxHer hair was disheveled. Her cheeks were swollen with blood flowing down her lips.oHT
JyRVxhhIt was infuriating. How could they do such a thing to such a small girl…?sg6
zicuG1R“Sorry. It’s alright now.”ZdSWpy8
gl4nukGiving her a tight hug, I tapped her on the back to reassure her. Then, I walked towards Ron, who was looking at me with a dumbfounded look on his face with his knees still on the ground, and patted his head.FyT3Y
UuR9“You did an excellent job. You protected your sister.”fhWfRm0
FzCDwTE“Bro…”HHQIOL
eWI1wnLeaving Ren with Ron, I scanned the 10 black mages around us. All of them would probably be above Grade 2 at the very least considering how they were here to capture golden wolves. On top of that, there were also tons of undead Fang Boars behind them.1wtN7
D3Q0U3“That insolent brat!”xhJ1n
wiR“K, kill him…!”Bvwt
2RE1I pointed my spear at them. By putting a large amount of mana into the spear, I unleashed one of the powers of the sun.2aMI
yWLDOTW❰Temporary Sun Concentration – Claiomh Solais❱aZXRu
imRs5Activating every Rune of the Sun engraved on the silver spear, I used it as a temporary catalyst to give off sunlight.1AjI
Eb4Nk5It was a short and momentary display of light, but even that was detrimental to the unholy creatures.rnOHO
rqoOh– Kweeeeek!IoA4WX
pO64l– Kuahkkkkk!apVn0D2
NFWIkwDThe undead Fang Boars started to melt while letting out agonized screams. Wicked beings had not a single chance of retaliating against the cleansing ability of the sun.WVA
hOcWhether it be undeads, black mages, or even the poison of a chimera.WKk950x
I2Otw“It would have been slightly better for you if you were using normal familiars.”iy5
RA3ywfzThat was one of the weaknesses of black mages. They had a strong tendency to easily resort to killing and shifting body parts to use them at will.byjl
AbYQLGIn the blink of an eye, the undead Fang Boars were all cleansed. Due to being polluted by black magic, they all vanished to nothing without leaving behind a single bone.aLKeCB
KG32aAnd that was the same for the black mages.Jha
iYVdv“Huahkk… T, this is impossible! My disciples!”posbWVs
fCIArkai, who managed to escape the range of the Sun thanks to flying far away by the punch, screamed after seeing the black mages who had been reduced to ashes.GGVF2pz
5XsPSoon, after realizing that he wasn’t dreaming, he lifted his eyes and looked at me.6OqfQ4D
uorOKo“P, please don’t kill me! I… I was just doing what my master told me to do!”JB7VL0B
VGgDxElder Morushtan. Sure, that guy was the biggest motherfucker but…C6aD5O
Spavy9“Are you any different?”z1Y
GgJ“I, I’m…!”ch7S
fSqAev“Of course not. Even your disciples were all one of the world’s dirtiest pieces of trash. Otherwise they wouldn’t have been cleansed by the sun. Do you think you’ll be different? Do you want to bet on whether you get cleansed or not?”1MyJl
37mE3Seeing the silver spear being pointed at him, he frantically backed off. That was a natural reaction, considering how he witnessed the eradication of the undeads and the black mages with his own eyes.OwTspp
Ftg“Huhiiik… P, please don’t kill me! Please! Have mercy!”OTkb9SO
dxnve9fHe begged after going down on his knees. It reminded me of what Ron was like before, but…WyP
bkg“Your knees seem a lot cheaper in comparison.”NbrBy
4dzuThere was no way that his knees could ever hold the same weight as Ron, who had been desperately trying to save his sister.OMUnkF
QboWqR– Slam!ixCd
BouUiNI smacked his head with the shaft of the spear as he fell face first onto the ground. Ren curiously raised a question after seeing that.9m1h
5exyg7“Are you not killing him?”G3WC7
NMZ“Killing him would be way too merciful.”Zrvgx
H3HgG1qThey had to pay for all their sins without leaving a single pound behind.Eyc7fC
DQ1………5dbuG
otgEoaA……wiKf
XINgsyv…yMuh
Bi6baAfter that it was fairly simple. Although the black mages had been controlling most of the Fang Boars of this entire mountain, in the end, Fang Boars were nothing more than Fang Boars.aVr
otMNo one from our group was weak enough to be injured by a mere Grade 4 monster.wuISArz
fa2GGSVThere were a few injured students among the freshmen kids that were attacked first, but thanks to Professor Orgen protecting them with his life on the line, there weren’t any serious injuries nor casualties.WUy8r
QoaNmy“Student Korin!”x7UvD2
Uu7hnrI was in the middle of gathering the neutralized mages to one place when Lady Josephine called my name.y5sVvbU
uGp“The chairman’s marker is giving off a signal!”ZAdYQMj
lVP“…So it really was an attack on two fronts, huh.”mfntD
CvhX5Unlike us who had the overpowered Josephine in our group, the mages inevitably had some problems with synchronizing their attacks. It was fortunate that they started the attack on the chairman after everything was pretty much over for us.jfYQR1
moDB878“We have to leave right now.”O3A9X6
dab6vM2“Let me go with you,” I replied.E3yVQ7
shFnAQHObviously, I had to be one of the ones going with her, because I was the only one here who knew about Adelene, the Great Golden Mage.ZAWM6fM
1ctnLIt should be possible for me.itrPY
7UdHDI had obtained the sun; I reached the end of Six Ways of the Spear, and was even in possession of 3 Aura Cores, which was the symbol of a High-level Knight.WxS
jthQ058Unique Grade Great Mage, Adelene. I would have to put my life on the line if it was a 1 on 1, but I also had Lady Josephine, the Dimensional Witch, on my side.Raykx
ZWC“M, me too…!”jHBb7
azdetP1“I can’t stay here when you are going there, Mr. Korin!”u5Kc33
BUZ“…”0bI2R3k
TZ0kMarie, Alicia and even Hua Ran. Although they had already told me that they were going to come with me from the beginning, it was still reassuring to have them step up without any hesitation.D3Ys
iYfs5jJosephine seemed concerned by the fact that she had to bring students into a dangerous battle, and warned them.AEBQ
m1BH“Be careful. Unlike the Red Cult and the Black Cult where we had an absolute advantage over them… this will be different.”n58i
Bqe0E“I know.”QNqG
YmhUTEven though there had been a slight modification to the plan, it was perfect until now. Everything was going alri—QJc34tM
RmRUZgT“Chairman!”rPimN
bg577dJThe moment we arrived at the land on the other side of the dimensional gate, the first thing we saw was the chairman lying on the ground.xBkSK1U
