I Alone Going To The Tower

Chapter 6

“Is this what you said right?”

I asked, waving my diary.

“Yes, Top Master.”

After answering that, Ea disappeared so as not to disturb my reading. Alone, I sat down at my desk and opened a darkly wrinkled notebook.

『Imperial Year 191. 10. 09. My name is Anton Aximus. The person who will become the next matopper. This article is a record of my heroic story of becoming a mate, and I expect it to be an excellent guide for my juniors who will become mate.”

Again, it was in a strange language, but I had no problem reading it with the ‘sage’s eye’. I turned to the next page.

『Imperial Power 191. 10. 10.

The troublesome test of matapism has begun.

After daring to put a large-scale seal on the horse tower as per tradition, Master left.

Now I have to break the seals on all floors with my own strength.

Why are the kkondae obsessed with such useless things? It is said that all of this is the process of becoming a true horseman, but it sounds like dog shit. Why the hell are you doing this?!”

… … Is this a generational conflict?

It seems to be the same wherever people live, that way or this one.

Rather, the situation of that person named Anton was similar to that of mine. Except for the first floor and the 9th floor of the horse tower, the function was suspended.

I moved on to the next chapter with many questions.

“Those who are famous colleagues are excited about coming here to play for a few months saying they have been on a long vacation. Let it go, these! Do you think your seats will remain after I take over the tower? It’s time for a great purge! Kyahahaha.”

First of all, I know for sure that my senior is not a normal person.

Most of the content behind this consisted of gossip about colleagues. Who was annoyed and who was annoyed.

I skipped a lot of parts that were presumed to be profanity and moved on to the next chapter.

“… … So I went up to the second floor and took the first ordeal. There is a restriction that you have to clear it with only the 3 basic magic, but it’s really pitiful. It would have been quite difficult if they were kkondaes who only depended on high-level magic, but I, the youngest candidate for mage master, passed right away without re-challenge.”

‘test?’

An interesting story emerged. In order to unlock the next floor’s seal, it seems that you have to pass through that ordeal or something.

The other chapters continued to be explored, but there were no details of the ordeal.

In the introduction, he wrote that he expects to be a good guide for the juniors who will become horsemen, but instead of a guide, he was mostly proud of himself, considering how good he was and how good a wizard he was.

‘Isn’t it really easy for a bald-headed man to draw a picture without explanation? It’s just a strange feeling of frustration.’

It didn’t seem like a big reference, so I closed the half-read diary and put together the information so far.

This horse tower is the cradle of magic from a place called ‘Erendel Continent’. It’s like the Silicon Valley of magic engineering.

And there was one tradition in the horse tower. When the next horse lord is selected, the current horse lord puts a large-scale seal on the horse tower and puts an ordeal on each seal on each floor.

The next magician has to overcome all these trials alone, and only after releasing all the seals on the nine floors, will he be recognized as a true mage master from all over the continent.

Well, okay. I’m a bit organized now.

“Then Ea. Are you saying that I also have to overcome the ordeal according to the traditions of those masters?”

When I asked in the air, Ea appeared with a swarm of lights and answered with her hair fluttering.

“I think the current situation is a little different. This large-scale sealing was not a simple ceremony. It was an ’emergency seal’ that was automatically activated to protect the skills and knowledge of the tower in an emergency.”

“You mean that the tower was forced to choose the entire seal in order to survive?”

“Yes. You could say that.”

Why the structure of the other world was transferred to Earth, and why I was selected as the master of the matap is still a question, but what needs to be done was clear.

Become stronger, challenge the ordeal, and unlock all floors of the Magic Tower.

Even just preparing the potion on the first floor is enough to shake the paradigm of existing hunters. The other floors will also be full of technologies that can transform the world.

‘Good good.’

Motivation is certain.

Finally, my chance came.

You could be locked up in this tower and sucking honey on your own, but that would be no fun.

I will make the world revolve around me. The hunter world, who gave me a judgment that was out of power, would eat a big punch and stand tall at the top.

and ‘trials’.

Obviously there was talk of a re-challenge.

Perhaps it is possible to try several times.

In the trial on the second floor, he said that only the three basic magics could be used. It meant ‘Gauntlet’, ‘Shield’, and ‘Manaerow’ that I had learned.

‘I’ve almost mastered those three magics, and even if I learn a stronger magic, I won’t be able to use it inside… … ‘

Take out the beef horns in a short time.

I immediately decided to challenge the ‘opening of the second floor’.

* * *

The first floor of the tower was very large and vast.

The structure of the horse tower I saw from the outside was in a shape that gradually decreased and became sharper as it went up from the lower level.

The first floor was the largest space in the tower, and there were many stairs and many rooms, so I got lost.

And in the tower window, this potion dispensary was only marked as ‘1st floor’, but to be exact, the entire area of ​​the 3rd floor was included in the potion dispensary. It seems to be understood as a concept of a compartment rather than a concept of a layer.

So I reached the top of the first floor, the stairs leading up to the second floor.

Woo woo woo woo!

Above the stairs, instead of the door leading to the second floor, a black portal reminiscent of a black hole was occupied.

[The magic of ordeal is encroaching on the space.][You have to pass an ordeal to get to the next floor.][Would you like to challenge the ordeal?]

I came for that. I answered meekly.

“Challenge.”

Shoo woo woo woo!

As soon as I answered, my body was sucked into the black space.

* * *

“……”

The dizziness stopped and I opened my eyes.

It was an unfamiliar space.

At first glance, the walls and ceiling seemed to be inside the tower, but the floor was dirt and grass. Tall trees were also seen everywhere. The ground was bumpy, forming large hills.

If I had to describe it, it would be like a teletubbies garden with a gloomy atmosphere.

[You have reached the second floor ordeal.][Checking trial participant’s data.][Adjusts the mana of the trial participant to be appropriate for this trial.][The rules of this trial apply. All current magic seals other than the three basic magics.][Go to the destination cube.]

It was as seen in Anton’s notes.

Before departing, I used the gauntlet, shield, and mana arrow magic circle once for inspection.

The magic circle was well completed. However, one surprising thing was that there was no burden on the body even when using magic.

I felt the mana draining out of my body, but it felt like it was quickly refilled as soon as it was gone.

If you are in this state right now, you can use magic indefinitely.

‘Does this mean calibrating the mana of the ordeal participants to this test?’

anyway good I made up my mind and walked along a path that had no grass.

At first, nothing came out.

‘Did I tell you to go to the destination cube? Where would you like to be?’

– Kiki Kiki Kick!

– Kuk Kuk Kuk!

A creepy laugh was heard.

She looked back quickly, but saw nothing. The sound of laughter ceased.

As soon as I looked ahead and walked a few steps, I heard another strange laughter.

This time, he waited and immediately turned his head to find the cause of the laughter.

Strange creatures were giggling with their heads sticking out from behind the trees.

A small 7-year-old child, with a black body with no features. Only two eyes were red and prominent.

I memorized the basic monster information in the academy, but this is the first time I’ve seen anything like that.

– Kick! Kikiki!

Three goblets approached me. It was not a favorable attitude at all to see that the nails were elongated in the area presumed to be the hand.

‘calm down.’

Even if it is a monster you do not know, there is no problem. He closed his eyes, raised his concentration and stretched out his right arm.

Arrows made of mana were shot out immediately from the magic circle that unfolded in front of the palm.

puck!

One mana arrow was nailed right into the head. The goblin, who had been writhing in pain, quickly collapsed on the spot.

Is it easier than you think?

– Kick!

-Keying device!

Scary to think that it would be easy, red eyes flashed from all directions, including behind trees and on hills.

The number was fifty, one hundred, or even more than a thousand now.

“Well then!”

It’s an ordeal for the candidates of Ma Thap-ju, but it’s not easy.

It’s an urgent situation, but I thought about it for a while. Unlike the dungeon, the ordeal of the tower was made by humans.

There must be the author’s intention.

Judging from that point, in all probability, it would not have been made to catch them.

How can you defeat thousands of monsters with only Gauntlets and Manaerow without range magic?

It is right to run away from here.

Having made that judgment, I immediately ran forward.

– Kiki Kiki Kick!(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

Behind me, the demons rushed like a tsunami. It was not like a swarm of monsters, but like a crashing black wave.

It was terrifying to see the entire garden turning black in an instant.

“damn!”

In the meantime, some goblin followed me right behind my back. While running non-stop, he only stretched his arms behind his back and fired at Manaerow.

Some guys fell out and it worked, but my concentration was shaken enough to fail once if I used the magic twice.

I’m still not used to using magic while moving my body. It took my breath away there.

‘driving me crazy! Where the hell is Cube?’

I looked around desperately.

Now, the ceiling and walls were also being painted black by goblin crawling in ignoring gravity.

The whole world is turning black.

Is this how the protagonist of a movie of a natural disaster nearing the end feels like this? It was quite an arduous task to have to watch my chances of surviving decrease in real time.

desperately thought.

‘Their movements are fixed in a certain direction. Assuming that the entire area is dyed black at this rate, the last area to be dyed black is… … .’

found! There was a moving magic circle at a location a little away from the path.

I stopped casting and sprinted. The attack of the monsters that followed caused injuries to his body, but he did not pay attention to it.

Bump!

Now, a few goblets are clinging to my body. My legs and thighs were being ripped to pieces by them, but I couldn’t stop.

After running a few hundred meters in an instant, I reached out with all my might like an athlete approaching the finish line and brought it to the end of the magic circle. Then I lost my focus and fell to the floor, and the black waves of the goblin engulfed me.

[Clear Stage 1. Move to the cube.]

Shush!

My body teleported to the next location.

Fortunately, when we moved to another space, the goblin also disappeared.

“…heh heh heh heh!”

I didn’t even have the strength to look around. I fell on the floor and took a deep breath.

It’s no joke from the start, this.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and stood up.

All of a sudden, I was trapped in a space of a cube made of blue membranes.

I got closer and tried to knock on the curtain with my fist, but I couldn’t get out.

And at a distance of several hundred meters from this space, a large wall surrounded it everywhere. To be precise, it was not a wall, but a form of tiles that were stacked together like a honeycomb.

[Survive in the cube for 20 minutes.][To give up the ordeal, step on the exit magic circle.]

At one end, there was a magic circle with blue light. I made sure I had the location of the exit in mind.

[The ordeal begins.]
