Episode 35

“If there’s one thing I regret the most in my life, it’s not being able to suppress that magic as soon as it went wild.”

Towards Beckeras, who was speaking calmly, the man sitting next to him muttered silently.

“Master.”

“……sorry.”

The man with no presence seemed to be a disciple of Beckeras.

“I digressed, but anyway, I tried ten times to put the magic to rest once it went wild. And I failed every time.”

“Does that make sense?”

I didn’t mean to interrupt, but the words came out on their own.

As everyone’s eyes turned to me, I stared at Beckerath.

“I don’t know the situation at the time, but you said with your own mouth that you were the designer of that great magic. Then you must have prepared a countermeasure in case that magic failed, right?”

Whatever it is, great magic isn’t great magic for nothing.

If one mistake was made, there was a good chance that the country, or even the world, could be brought to this point, and there was no way that the old man in front of me would not know that danger.

“I don’t think your skills were so poor that your plan failed ten times.”

“Yeah, it still comes to mind vividly.”

The old man closed his eyes.

As if reminiscing, as if trying to recall memories from that time.

“As we climbed and climbed our half-broken tower, there was still that great magic shining faintly there.”

Phew.

And Beckeras’ head bowed down, down.

“There was plenty of time, and the Chimeras were still in their infancy and not a threat enough to bother me.”

Beckeras’ head looked down at the floor as if apologizing.

“That’s how I started destroying magic, and little by little, as the magic was being broken, that’s what I thought.”

I had no intention of coming up.

“If only you put in just a little more effort.”

A few tears fell with a thud on the dry stone floor.

“I wonder if there’s a way to return the magic to its original state.”

“……I did something stupid.”

Tch.

As I leaned back, the old sofa began to scream.

“Yeah, it was stupid… but at the time, I still thought I could do it.”

Boom, boom.

Beckerath muttered again, holding his face in his hands as if trying to wipe away a few more tears that had fallen on the floor.

“Of course, it failed. It was difficult enough to dispel the magic that had gone wild in the first place, so how could it be restored to its original state?”

Swish.

Beckeras wiped his face with his palm and raised his head to speak.

“I had to sacrifice everyone around me to survive that rampage… and that was the price I paid.”

Silence fell.

In the midst of a story that no one can open their mouths to say, the only thing that moves is my hand.

Hororok.

Still sipping my dirty, tasteless, salty tea, I looked at Beckerath.

“If the commander is incompetent, it’s the people below him who suffer. Your incompetence won’t change the fact that you killed those people.”

“……You, right now……!”

At my words, the disciple sitting next to Beckeras looked at me as if he was going to kill me.

Regardless, I continued talking to Beckeras.

“Let me ask you one thing. Are you on your way to completely dismantle that great magic now, or is that not the case?”

My eyes met those of the old man, his eyes swollen and bloodshot, an incompetent commander.

“Are you going to change that magic again this time for some nonsense that doesn’t even sound like atonement?”

“……It was the latter.”

He didn’t avoid my eyes.

“I thought that if someone like you could help, maybe it would be possible. I tried to hide everything from you and go… but what can I do? Even after hearing such things from you.”

Phew.

He sighed and extended his hand to me.

“Thank you for stopping my selfish atonement.”

“Show your gratitude with things, not words.”

At those words, Beckeras began to panic for a moment.

“Things? I’m sorry, but don’t you know that there’s nothing we can give you in our already destroyed world…….”

“Not now, but later.”

Sigh.

Before I knew it, my gaze was no longer on Bekeras, but rather outside where the sandstorm was blowing.

“After I completely deal with that great magician.”

“Then, I guess we can look forward to it.”

Nod.

Beckeras said, looking outward like I was looking.

“I’ll give you something great that suits you.”

Only then did I nod my head in agreement at the thought that, in addition to the tower reward, I had also received a generous reward.

“Okay, then let’s use the remaining time wisely.”

Swish.

As I pushed aside the tea and snacks on the table, Beckeras, who seemed to understand my intention, spread out a map on it.

“We will neutralize that magic within tomorrow.”

And I pointed to a place on the map.

There was a shiny, engraved mark on it.

***

“As I said before, I will be in charge of dispelling the magic.”

“I don’t have to worry about failing, right?”

I asked again just in case, but Beckeras just laughed in vain.

“If you don’t do useless things, the spell will have been lifted long ago. This time, it won’t be like that.”

“Yes, but I told you that in order to release me, you had to first visit these two magic towers.”

Chin, chin.

As soon as they saw the two places I had touched with my hands, Hayu and Kane flinched.

“Why is that?”

“This place… I think it’s a place we’ve been to before?”

At those words, my gaze and that of Beckeras turned towards the two.

“Tell me more.”

“Didn’t you say something like that to me too?”

“No, I didn’t know this place would be so important…….”

Unlike Hayu who was flustered, Kane quickly started listing the things he had seen then.

“When we got to the 11th floor, this was the building in front of us. It was… a building about three stories high, I’m not sure if that’s right….”

“Oh, by any chance, isn’t that building shaped like a bell tower?”

Kane nodded immediately at Beckeras’ words, which were spoken with such surprise that even his voice was trembling.

“Yes, there was a half-broken piece of paper on top of the building…….”

“I guess that’s right…… By the way, that paper was broken…….”

I asked Kane, leaving Bekeras behind, who was muttering something to himself.

“So, you haven’t explored the inside?”

“Oh, inside? It was completely empty?”

“What!?”

When Beckeras, who had been mumbling something, suddenly looked at Kane, Kane flinched for a moment.

“No, if it’s the magic tower you’re talking about… it should be a place where there was some kind of experimental equipment, or some kind of research or something, but it was just an empty tower with nothing there.”

Sneak.

When Kane looked at Hayoo, she nodded in agreement.

“That’s right, I don’t know what this magic tower you’re talking about is… but is the magic tower originally just an empty building?”

Perhaps because of the shock from Kane and Hayu’s words, Beckeras collapsed on the sofa with his back leaning against the sofa with a dumbfounded expression.

“……The Magic Tower is empty? Who on earth would do something like that…….”

“There are two possibilities.”

I muttered as I turned my gaze towards Kane and Hayu.

“First of all, you two are lying right now.”

When Kane and Hayu looked at me as if they were dumbfounded by those words, I added.

“It’s just a possibility. Of course, the probability is low… but the second one is more likely.”

After saying that, I looked at Beckeras.

“Second, did your disciples take all the information that was left in that tower and run away somewhere?”

“……I think it’s more likely that it was like that too.”

Beckeras, who had been struggling with the unexpected variable, said as if he had just remembered something.

“If those kids took the data… I can guess where it went.”

“Guess where you’re going? Where is that?”

chin.

On the map, Bekeras pointed with his finger to where the great magic was.

“……You took it to a place with great magic?”

“I may have been hiding from those kids, but there was only one place I could go. And they knew that very well.”

Beckerath sighed with a bitter smile.

“In the end, we’ll have to fight those kids to break the magic.”

I laughed in vain at that expression that seemed to say he really didn’t want to fight.

“What are you talking about? Why are you fighting?”

“What? But if I don’t do that, I won’t be able to access the great magic…….”

“There are only three people fighting, me and you. Or is it two?”

It’s a bit ambiguous to call that blind woman a fighter.

At my words, Cain, Hayu, and Beckeras were all startled and started shouting at me.

“Are you crazy!? How are you going to fight with just the three of us!”

“Hundreds of people! You saw it a little while ago!”

“That’s right! No matter how powerful you are, if you’re alone…….”

match.

As I clapped my hands, something large appeared in the air.

-Kururururuk… … .

Knock, knock.

The acidic saliva that falls from the mouth falls onto the dry floor, making a bubbling sound and causing the floor to melt.

Undead dragon.

Just sticking your head in there and making everyone shut up was a great way to do it, and it worked for our team too.

“Not only this guy, but didn’t you see him when those guys came a little while ago?”

Swish.

At first, they were confused when they saw the undead pouring out from around them, but soon Cain and Hayu also started nodding their heads at them.

“I couldn’t see it properly a little while ago because I was so nervous… but it was you who summoned it.”

“Necromancer? I don’t really like being affiliated with the Bone Fortress…….”

“I don’t belong to them.”

Of course, there was the misunderstanding that he belonged to the fortress of bones.

I spoke to Beckeras, who was looking at the undead pouring out from all directions in astonishment, while lying back on the sofa.

“It doesn’t seem like you particularly want to fight with your disciple, but if you really want to, let’s fight together.”

“……that.”

Beckeras hesitates and cannot answer.

To such a Beckeras I promised one thing.

“I will not kill your disciples.”

“……what?”

Beckeras’ eyes grew as big as lanterns in surprise.

Even the disciple who was listening from the side was surprised.

“If I command my undead, it is possible to subdue them without killing them.”

Knock knock knock.

The skeletons dance and their jaws click as I move my fingers.

When he saw them clanking and tapping their drums in time as if they were playing a military song, it was only then that Bekeras muttered.

“Is it really… possible?”

“If you don’t believe me, then don’t. But if you really want to kill your disciples with your own hands.”

Whirlwind.

I said firmly as I put the undead back into my inventory.

“I won’t stop you.”

“……I understand. Then I will leave the handling of my disciples entirely to you.”

“Okay, you just focus on dispelling the magic.”

Once what was considered the biggest hurdle was cleared, the rest was a breeze.

The operation was all set up in an hour, let alone a day, and then late at night came.

“……Phew.”

When Kane, Hayu, and Beckeras all went up to the second floor and were sleeping.

I couldn’t sleep, so I went outside the building to get some fresh air.

‘… … It really was all broken, without a single thing left.’

Traces of a half-broken civilization with no trace of humans.

And the occasional cries of chimeras really gave the feeling of a destroyed world.

Although I wasn’t really a smoker, it was while I was admiring the scenery that I could understand, at least a little, the feelings of those who smoke.

“……What is it?”

Footsteps are heard from behind.

When I looked back, there was Beckeras’ disciple, loitering around and approaching me.

“Do you have any business with me?”

“It’s business… It’s not business.”

Thud, thud.

“I just wanted to vent a little.”

Swish.

Before I knew it, the guy standing next to me looked at me.

“……Can you please listen to me?”

I looked at him, who seemed tired and sad.

“no.”

He firmly expressed his intention to refuse.

What is this about the person who was glaring at me as if he was going to kill me just a moment ago?
