Your worst enemy is coming to your side.
A new boss monster, Tower Master, is added.
The area of appearance is all over the Earth.
The shocking news spread quickly.
AAU was more perplexed about this than anyone else.
The new boss monster was the Tower Master.
If that was true
Yoon Sookyum swallowed.
It would be no exaggeration to say he is the worst enemy.
Since the days when Arcana was just a game, the mages had been treated as precious.
Regardless of your level, you could join a famous guild just by having a mage class.
It was only natural.
A mage could be worth a hundred people.
They could do more depending on their ability.
Including the cost invested as one of the noble classes of the time. The level of difficulty in raising it was extreme, but it was a class that would definitely reward you if you trained well.
Thats what the Arcana setting was like.
You could tell just by looking at the Empire.
It was safe to say that the Empire ruled over the vast Arcana continent. Compared to the countless soldiers, the number of mages belonging to the Empire was nothing more than a mere drop in the ocean.
To be honest, it was set up that way for balance reasons. The Mage Tower.
Mages were beings who could shake the balance of the Arcana Continent.
So in the days when it was just a game, the Mage Tower served as a shackle to keep those mages from going wild.
But now that Arcana had become a reality.
The mages of the Mage Tower were not NPCs, so the setting couldnt be permanent.
At first, that fact alone made him anxious.
He still couldnt forget the day the Mage Tower appeared in reality.
It was a complete emergency for us.
We worked overtime every day until the Magic Tower officially announced its position, didnt we?
When I think about that time, I should be grateful for it now.
In terms of risk alone, the Mage Tower surpassed nuclear bombs.
He never thought that the Mage Tower would become a strong supporter of humanity.
It was all thanks to the chief of the Mage Tower.
In that regard, the update felt even more shocking.
Have you heard anything from the Mage Tower?
Weve heard from players who have been staying at the Mage Tower as apprentice mages. The elder mage, Yugwid, will give her opinions regarding the case!
Whew. Doesnt that mean that everyone in the Magic Tower has turned around?
Amid the sighs that burst out.
Sung Hyunjoon and Yoon Sookyum exchanged glances.
Both of them had the same question.
Sung Hyunjoon puffed.
Why is it not Hoyeol-nim this time?
So far, Hoyeol had been the one who expressed the Mage Towers stance to the public.
He was the Mage Towers bigshot, its chief, and a player.
No one could perform the role of a link between reality and the Mage Tower more perfectly than Hoyeol.
Sung Hyunjoons eyes opened wide.
No way, has he anticipated the emergency update and made the first move?
No, that cant be.
Yes? Do you have any other idea, sunbae?
There must be a reason why the Tower Master turned into an enemy of the players. Hoyeol-ssi surely knows the reason. No, theres no way he doesnt.
Because they both belong to the Mage Tower?
Yes, Im sure Yugwid knows the reason too.
Yoon Sookyum nodded with conviction.
However, Yoon Sookyums assurance did not last long.
The lobby of the Mage Tower.
Elder Mage Yugwid appeared in front of the reporters.
No, I didnt expect that the Tower Master would show hostility.
Sung Hyunjoon stuttered at her declaration
H-He didnt even show any hints?
AAU couldnt have suspected that the Tower Master had been suspended in a floating mana sphere.
However, even if they couldnt predict it precisely, they could make a similar guess.
Still, she kind of expected this reaction, right?
Yeah, considering how calm she sounded It seemed she had noticed that his whereabouts had become unclear. Damn it, I need to know what the hell is going on in the Mage Tower.
Right. Its impossible to know which setting will be realized and in what way.
Hadnt he witnessed it countless times?
The scene where a few lines of settings that had been added to keep the balance of the Arcana Continent turned into a real boomerang and flew into the reality.
In that sense, any further speculation would only make his head hurt.
Shake
Shaking off his thoughts, Yoon Sookyum said.
Okay, lets just think about the crisis at hand for now.
The circumstances of the Magic Tower?
That was nothing in the face of the crisis right in front of them.
The archmage of the Arcana Continent.
The pinnacle of the mage, the Tower Master.
It was a situation where that being emerged as an enemy of mankind.
Damn, it wasnt that long ago that the dragon flew up.
Harsh words even came out of Yoon Sookyums mouth.
In other words, they had no answer.
Most importantly, the Tower Master didnt appear in the rupture.
Just exiting the tower.
He immediately ran out to reality.
As if to remind them of that fact.
It was clearly stated in the update history.
The area of emergence was all over the Earth
Does the Tower Master plan to fight by moving to the east and west?
If we have to keep up with that mobility
Hoyeol-ssi is the only player who can.
AAU tried to think in their own way.
But by thinking that the Tower Master would take a portal to the east.
Their assumption was wrong from the start.
The Tower Master didnt even need to show up.
Wiiing
A loud warning sound.
A front monitor screen switched automatically.
The warning was sudden, but no one panicked.
!
They recently had heard the same warning sound.
Indeed.
It was when the dragon flew up from the top of the Zero Mountain.
The branch manager, Park Minjae, opened his mouth.
Damn it, this is a transmission from Another Space.
His voice uncharacteristically trembled.
A cluster of asteroids are falling to Earth.
Yes?
Given the circumstances, it is presumed to be a meteor strike caused by the Tower Master.
!!!
The transcendents were that kind of beings.
*
Youre going wild, our boss!
Devouring magic books was one of my daily routines that I never missed.
Thanks to that, I knew it well.
Sparkle
What type of magic the meteor shower pouring down from the sky was.
Crazy, 10 Meteor Strikes in a row.
Even if its part of the plan.
Are you planning to blow up the Earth?!
Meteor Strike.
It was a magic that most mages didnt even know existed.
You would realize that if you just looked at the manifestation process.
You would have to explore an asteroid floating in space, not just in the sky. It was a magic that required you to interfere with it by pouring in enough mana to cause it to fall, and then reach the manifestation process.
How many people possess that level of mana?! In that regard, I guarantee you.
You must have a circle to manifest the Meteor Strike.
I opened my mouth.
Are you celebrating your escape?
I spat out my appreciation for that great magic, Meteor Strike.
But you throw the firework in the wrong direction, Tower Master.
You call a nuclear bomb like that a firework?
Really, your bluff
But I didnt say words that I couldnt keep.
Reversal magicmanifestation.
I looked at the retrograde meteor strike.
Yes, on the contrary, it stretched straight into the sky.
Like Grandfel said, it was like fireworks now.
Suddenly, I heard a voice.
What? The meteorites are upside down?!
Wait. Thats Lee Hoyeol!
What?! Where?!
Mom, it must have been fireworks, not shooting stars!
Citizens peeked their heads out the window and looked at me.
As you could see, this was a densely populated city area.
Although I spoke calmly, I felt dizzy.
I really struggled with all my might, dug up all kinds of wells, and because that wasnt enough, I even grew my own elixir, ate it, and formed a circle!
What if I had gotten stuck while struggling?
At this moment, I wouldnt have been able to even explore the Meteor Strike.Explore new 𝒏ovels on n𝒐velbi𝒏(.)com
It was only natural.
If it appeared again, I wouldnt know what happened.
Because it was an unfamiliar magic manifested by someone else.
Normally, it would be impossible.
However, if I were also a transcendent, the story would be different.
[Transcendent: Your transcendent state is enough for you to be called a transcendent. Current achievements reached: Circle (1,000% increase in all magic manifestations) / Incomplete Quick Swordsmanship / None / None]
Manifestation power was a concept that encompassed all abilities related to magic.
That includes the ability to explore, the ability to interfere.
Even so, thanks to the unfamiliar setting, Grandfels vision, which was already amazing, became 1,000 percent brighter. In that regard
Maybe Grandfel and I were just weird.
Setting and [System].
I was using two completely different concepts.
Anyway.
I couldnt be swayed by the Tower Master forever.
I raised my mana and tracked the magic trace of the Tower Master.
Since I had explored the Meteor Strike and identified the magic power, I was able to pinpoint the location without difficulty. Without wasting any more time, I manifested a portal straight toward those coordinates.
Fighting!
Suddenly, a voice from the back of my head caught my attention.
That was a word that someone mustered up the courage to say.
That voice became a signal and cheers poured in for me.
Huhu Thank you Really!
Please win, Hoyeol-nim!
Ill cheer for you with pride!
This was my first time hearing it directly.
Well, I bumped into players a lot.
But I never had to deal with ordinary people.
Maybe because I was conscious of that fact, my shoulders felt heavy.
Was it because of the pressure?
As if!
I babbled shamelessly.
Those are truly simple wishes.
Indeed.
There was no way this guys pride would feel pressured.
Of course, the reason why my shoulders felt heavy.
It was because of this jacket that fluttered in the midst of this
.
.
.
You have no business ethics, Raymond.
Even if it was an emergency update, wasnt it a national rule to announce the level in the update detail? Even if the meaning of level faded in front of a transcendent.
But you can probably guess, right?
After exiting the portal, I raised my head.
And then I realized.
I was basically just testing the circle.
The Tower Master didnt need a battlefield.
Because he was able to create the battlefield himself.
To the naked eye, it looked like an ordinary sky, land, mountains, and forest.
The area was overflowing with mana.
I was able to notice it right away.
Its not real.
Everything was a mass of mana.
Everything I saw was illusion magic.
It was truly an awe-inspiring magic implementation.
I feel bad for Nasrow.
Senior mage of illusion magic, Nasrow.
It was so different from his illusion magic that I felt bad for comparing them.
If normal illusion magic was about deceiving the target, this was at the level of trying to deceive the world. I was actually stepping on a lump of mana with both legs as if it were the ground.
However.
Is this hallucination magic again?
Who was Grandfel?
At the time when I had just awakened as a player and was around level 100.
Without an invitation, I entered the Mage Tower where the regular conference was held. I saw through the Tower Masters illusion magic.
That was why I could talk calmly.
Tower Master, unexpectedly, you havent made any improvement.
What was the ulterior motive of the Tower Master who was causing this kind of trouble?
I didnt know.
But Tower Master showed hostility.
To be precise, his body did.
I had clearly identified the 10 consecutive shots of the Meteor Strike.
So I couldnt help but take him seriously.
I aligned the direction of the Hexagram brooch.
I adjusted my clothes and checked the buffs that were in effect.
[Natural Enemy Relationship] was not activated.
As stated in the update details.
The body of the Tower Master was judged to be a boss monster.
[Hexagram Brooch 2/6]
[Set item effects are applied.]
[Currently applied set effect: 2/6]
[1. All basic stats increase by 2 points.]
[2. When attacking the boss monster, all damage increases by 10%.]
In the absence of [natural enemy], even a 10% increase in power was precious. Of course, I couldnt leave out the [Blessing of the First World Tree], which supported my mana that was inferior compared to the Tower Masters.
Moreover, the body of the Tower Master.
It didnt have any magic tools like me.
He must have escaped from the magic sphere with his body bare.
Apart from the fluttering Dawn jacket.
I was plastered with Epic-grade items.
These were items that werent often seen even in the Mage Tower.
Last but not least.
The greatness of the oddity that I unintentionally felt thanks to the high-ranking demon king.
Against the worst enemy Tower Master.
I had a reasonable and complex calculation for going alone.
But it didnt end there.
Suddenly, magical power wavered in the air.
In a manifested portal.
Unexpected reinforcement appeared.
