Mage-style communication.
There was no need for unnecessary conversation.
The information of the ruptures flowed into my head through telepathy.
Its overflowing with mana, seriously!
Sending telepathy not only to me, but to all the senior mages.
If it were me, Id be already out of mana.
I couldnt even take a moment to be speechless.
The location of the rupture felt familiar.
It looks similar to Frost.
The summoning ceremony of Demon King Decarabia that took place in Frost.
The sacrifices for the summoning ceremony.
And the procedures that were needed.
Like a magic circle drawn with blood and corpses.
11 ruptures were created.
The location of the ruptures looked like a particular pattern, as it did then.
Senior Mage Banglet carefully opened his mouth.
It looks like a horse?
If there was a constellation related to horses, would it look like that?
It seemed so.
But that wasnt the point.
In terms of the distance between each rupture.
The problem was that the scale of this summoning ceremony was incomparably larger than that of Frost.
I couldnt help but feel startled inside.
Theres a difference in the amount of sacrifices needed.
There was a gap between the ordinary demons and demon kings.
As well as between the lower and higher-ranking demon kings.
I could feel the words of Akshan, the demon hunter, on my skin.
Well, thats just like the elder mage
In order to summon the demon king, they had to make this fuss.
But of course, I didnt express that feeling.
No demons temptation, deceit, or trial can damage Grandfels lofty pride.
Yeah.
Even if this damn heavy pride of Grandfel was in front of the high-ranking demon king.
I wouldnt waver without a resolution.
Even if I had to sink under that weight.
But again, naturally.
Of course, I have no intention of sinking down.
This wasnt even the first time.
Because I knew what this guys pride was like.
In order not to sink.
Id been constantly struggling.
This time was no exception.
It is not the demon king that you have to care about.
Why were we moving like this?
In order to prevent the descent of the great demon king.
I continued calmly.
To dispose of Karimjeva, the criminal of high treason. Focus on your purpose.
In the end.
In the end, the key was Karimjeva.
Why are you already worried about the descent of the high-ranking demon king?
In the first place, I was fully prepared to prevent such a mishap. So stop being so negative, Senior Mage Banglet Tom.
Therefore, I opened my mouth.
However, even if the demon king is resurrected. You have nothing to worry about.
In the face of a demon kings summoning ceremony.
My damn pride went up more and more.
In the end, I had no choice but to say something I didnt mean.
For I am here.
Although I did intend to go crazy properly.
I didnt mean to go this crazy!
I felt like I wanted to curse at myself if I could.
The people in front of me right now.
They werent ordinary.
They were the most powerful armed group in Arcana, the powerhouse of the Mage Tower.
The senior and the chief, and not only that, the elder too.
Its not like I am teaching fishes how to swim.
There was nothing I could say with my level 333.
This was a different level of shame from what I used to say in front of the players.
But there was no change in my brazen skin.
I understand.
Nod
At Marcelos answer, I could see senior mages, including Banglet, nodding their heads.
Please, I hope you dont take my words seriously.
In the midst of my earnest prayer.
Marcelos words continued.
Then Ill move as planned.
Gooo
It was a signal of some sort.
Through telepathy, everyone grasped the information about the rupture.
Each of them launched a portal.
Of course, I stayed still.
I needed to save as much mana as possible.
I even dosed myself with bi-herb.
Full preparation.
That, of course, it included bi-herb.
[Your mana regeneration increases slightly for 6 hours.]
[Your mana regeneration increases slightly for 6 hours.]
[Your mana regeneration increases slightly for 1 hour.]
It was truly a full dose.
As long as the effect didnt overlap.
I ate everything that helped with mana regeneration.
It would be really terrible if I didnt have something like this.
This was also my struggle.
Nevertheless, thanks to the information on bi-herbs acquired through the [Pentagram of Pure Knowledge], I could consume bi-herbs of various types and effects.
Acquiring some bi-herbs wasnt difficult.
Because theyre treated like useless items at the auction.
Knowledge about non-herb was vast.
It was difficult for players to appreciate the value of bi-herbs.
There was a limit to directly ingesting and understanding the effect.
First of all, if its bi-herb, I bought it as it looked.
Among them, there were a few precious herbs that permanently raised stats, although not as much as the four-colored mistletoe.
But by that point, there were eyes that recognized it. Although there were people who auctioned.
I.
No, who was Granfel?
The incarnation of pure integrity that transcended material life.
Even when buying green tea bags, I looked for the lowest price. My astronomical bank balance still remained intact. Even if the bi-herbs were expensive, it wasnt unreasonable for me to buy them without hesitation.
[Name: Granfel Claudie Arpheus Romeo]
[Title: The Last Adventurer]
[Class: Demon hunter]
[Level: 333]
[Stat]
Strength: 62 / Agility: 66 / Mana: 287 / Luck: 6 / Aesthetic: Low
[Point: 0]
The visible status window was the result of the struggle.
Strength and agility.
Id been steadily rising them through class quests.
If you took that into account, the total of my stat far exceeded players of the same level.
Of course, these numbers were nothing in front of Karimjeva.
Then, lets go.
Im not alone, Karimjeva.
Tack
Elder mage Senios hit the floor with his staff.
Then a portal immediately appeared.
Are you for real?
Wasnt the exploration, interference, and manifestation at an unspeakable level!?
Well, if you were an elder mage of the Mage Tower, you must be able to use a portal casually.
I might not be able to reach Senios greatness.
But this is not normal magic.
The portal was strictly a high-level magic.
Among the players, there were only a handful of players who could use portal skills.
Their performance would be embarrassing to compare.
Manifesting a portal as if it was some kind of light.
To think that Senios was with me.
Yes, it was a kind consideration for me, the weakest, to make the balance right.
For me, who was shameless.
Suddenly, Senios asked.
Chief Lee Hoyeol. Do you get cold easily?
An unexpected question.
Well, I hated cold.
From Russia to Hokkaido.
When I think of wearing only a long coat in that cold weather, I still do.
Even my bones felt the cold.
I was unlucky enough to have frequent connections with cold regions.
Of course, the act of making a fuss about the cold?
It was something I couldnt do with the dignity of Grandfel.
I answered calmly.
Not even the cold can stop me.
Is that so? Thats a relief.
Wait, why is it a relief?
It wasnt long before I figured out what he meant.
Ssssaaaaaa!
What is this cold wind?
I could guess from the air permeating into my lungs.
This was a different level of cold.
Luckily, I have a warm buff.
If it wasnt for the jewelry box that gave [warm] buffs to the stored ornaments.
I would feel so cold that I couldnt last even a few minutes in a suit and suffer from hypothermia!
Through the fluttering snow.
All I could see was snow.
It was a rupture.
At that moment, the coordinates of the rupture popped into my head.
In my heart, I resented Senios.
Of all the rupture
Why did you pick the rupture in the North Pole?!
This made it clear.
Senios must have some grudges toward me!
Of course, I couldnt say anything.
I had a conscience, too.
I treated my boss with rudeness, impolite speech, and insubordination.
Considering what Id done, it would be strange if he had no grudge.
I like the chill.
However, Senios seemed to have no other thoughts.
At this moment, his eyes were cold.
The purpose of the towers exit he declared with his mouth.
The execution of Karimjeva.
It was a gaze that was thinking only of a purpose.
Among many ruptures, he chose the Arctic rupture.
So its just a coincidence?
Then what kind of coincidence is this!?
Its not like Im serving military life in Cheorwon.
From Russia to Hokkaido, to the North Pole.
What do you keep looking at!!
The stronger the opponent, the more important it is to choose an advantageous battlefield.
An advantageous battlefield?
Senios words reminded me of his nickname.
If Karimjeva was called the Fire Dragon.
Senios of Eternal Snow.
Because he was the pinnacle of ice magic.
However, Karimjeva. That arrogant stupid guy wouldnt have cared about such simple common sense at all. I mean, the odds are the same. You wont know until you check beyond it.
Senios headed straight for the rupture.
Come on, Karimjeva. Lets see if youre here.
I followed him and thought.
Even if Senios was by my side.
Even if I was fully prepared.
Facing Karimjeva from the start was extremely burdensome.
Please, I hope you have common sense. Karimjeva.
*
This sensation was as shitty as ever.
I cant get used to it.
The eleventh.
Karimjeva shook his hand at the last rupture.
The whole thing was just a process for true truth.
Nevertheless, he felt reluctant to work with the demons.
The preparations for the ceremony are complete. Demon king.
But all he needed now was the sacrifice.
It was up to the demons to prepare the sacrifice.
All he had to do now was to finish the ceremony safely.
He just had to burn the intruders who rushed in.
I hope you show up, Akampatham.
Whether it was a demon.
Or an adventurer.
There would be no exceptions.
Karimjeva was determined.
!
Karimjeva felt it.
A magic that kept track of his presence.
It was obviously a high-ranking magic.
Naturally, he didnt even consider the adventurers who were only at the level of apprentice mages. Aside from adventurers, not many people could use this magic.
A mage.
Karimjeva muttered, rolling his brain.
Who was it?
Who was tracking his mana?
The person he thought of.
Is it you?
The elder mages whose communication had been cut off.
No, the demon worshipers.
Karimjeva laughed.
He got too close to the demon, and in the end.
Does it mean that I am no different from the demons?
For Karimjeva, the demons were just a means to witness the true truth.
But those guys were different.
Infatuated with demonic powers.
In the end, it seemed he had become no different from the demons.
I dont know.
Why were they chasing after him now?
He didnt know.
But one thing was certain.
In order to witness the true truth.
The ceremony that he started had to be successfully completed.
Soon, Karimjevas eyes burned.
!
At that moment.
The detection magic that was placed in the rupture area was manifested.
Someone had approached the rupture where the ceremony was about to take place.
Is it an adventurer?
It didnt matter if it was adventurers.
It was like a sacrifice crawling on its own feet.
But that wasnt the case.
His detection magic had been discovered and destroyed.
As expected, its you.
Gooo
Karimjeva instantly raised his mana.
He would immediately open a portal through the rupture and burn the traitors.
However, contrary to his pledge, Karimjeva couldnt move.
One.
Two.
And three.
!
Something incomprehensible happened.
There were only two traitors.
Akampatham overestimated himself, even if he interfered with the ceremony
The interrupter should have stopped at three.Visitt nov𝒆lbin(.)c𝒐/m for the l𝒂test updates
But four.
And five.
Six.
Seven.
Taking turns.
The rupture detection magic was completely destroyed.
It was an unexpected flow.
Karimjeva rolled his brain desperately.
And he remembered.
No way, did the Mage Tower move?
If the Mage Tower moved.
It solved his questions one by one.
The fact that he couldnt communicate telepathically with the demon worshipers.
His mana being tracked down.
And the detection magic being destroyed simultaneously.
If the Mage Tower had found out about their plan.
It was all made sense.
But how?
Who could see through the plan?
The suspect was Marcelo, the chief mage.
Because he was the only mage who had doubted the elders. However, they couldnt have done anything with the elder mages just because of that doubt.
There is no time to be worrying about it.
Now that the Mage Tower had moved, time was running out.
He wondered if it was another senior mage.
Chief Marcelo was never easy.
But even if the Mage Tower moved.
The plan didnt change.
As he had promised.
Even if it meant giving up his life.
The true truth was something that had to be carried through.
Is there only one rupture still intact?
Sksk
Karimjeva opened the portal with the coordinates of the rupture.
He entered the rupture and waited for the intruder inside.
And he ran into them.
!
With an unexpected hindrance.
I knew this would happen, Karimjeva.
Elder Mage Senios.
He had entered the rupture.
Did Senios notice our plan?
No, if he could notice.
Hed have noticed long before that.
Because the demons curse had clearly clouded Senios judgment.
Of course, Karimjevas doubt didnt last long.
Because Senios wasnt alone.
Tap tap
Reality and the Arcana Continent.
The landscape of the rupture mixed.
Through the fluttering snow.
A silver-haired man appeared.
!
No way?
Suddenly, possibilities passed by.
Chief Co-Researcher Lee Hoyeol.
And Akampatham.
Acampatam, he must be trying to connect with Lee Hoyeol
Wait, what if Akampatam got caught by Lee Hoyeol?
I see. Thats how it happened.
Now he knew.
The main culprit of everything.
The person who moved the Mage Tower.
It wasnt Marcelo.
Lee Hoyeol, it was that guy.
How dare you.
Karimjevas pupils burned like flames.
Magical power that seemed to devour everything swayed through his body.
Senios reacted reflexively and marveled.
Your heat is still great.
But even in the face of the Fire Dragon.
Hoyeol was the same as always.
Criminal of high treason, Karimjeva.
Even in the raging heat.
Consistently upright posture and gaze.
You are foolishly ignorant.
Lastly.
A cold voice.
