Episode 61

[Let’s sit down and talk for now, this quest is a very new experience for both you and us.]

As Henette squeaked and produced another chair, I sat down there and started listing all the things I had accomplished.

Of course, I’m leaving out what I got out of this place.

[… … I see, so now there are no more traces of the Seongguk guys… … .]

“None, at least not among the living ones.”

All that remains in that world are the buildings and relics of the Holy Nation, which have already been completely destroyed.

They may notice, but they won’t come back to seek revenge or take it back.

“I’m sure they’ll make sure to clean up after themselves.”

[Of course, as the manager of the tower, I can’t just sit around and do nothing.]

As my gaze turned to the direction I had been walking from, Jeren added:

[The tower is protected, but I took measures to prevent them from breaking through the space to invade, so you can rest assured about that!]

My gaze naturally turned to Jeren as he spoke, as if to reassure me.

[… … What is that? Those eyes that look like they can’t believe it!]

Even though Jeren objected, I had no intention of taking my gaze away.

From the beginning, not only were the images you showed me not trustworthy, but they were all the exact opposite, so how am I supposed to trust you?

[You can trust me on that point.]

When Henette, who couldn’t stand to watch, added something to me, only then did my mind feel at ease.

Of course, Jeren grumbled that he didn’t like it, but it wasn’t my concern.

[I’m also an administrator… … .]

[Anyway, thanks to your excellent job, we can finally hit those guys.]

Henette must have been quite satisfied with my handling of the matter, for she was smiling the biggest smile I had ever seen.

To others, that smile was nothing more than a slight upward movement of the corners of the mouth, but that wasn’t the point.

[Then I will give you the quest reward.]

If I look back at all the quests I’ve done while climbing the tower, is there any other quest that I’ve completed so perfectly?

As I expected the quest rewards to be quite good, my expectations were very high.

At that moment, a response came from the Dracolich inside the inventory.

[This is… … !]

What was visible to the Dracolich’s gaze shared with him was a book.

However, it was not an ordinary book, but a book of magic that was emitting mana softly.

If you are a wizard, this would be a great reward that can greatly increase your power, something you would search for with your eyes wide open.

But for me, it was a somewhat unsatisfactory reward.

Although I could accept mana, handling it directly was still beyond my ability.

Even if I could use mana, it would be less useful since I am only a commander and not a general who charges.

Even if you try to exchange the mana contained within for mental power, the mental power increased by this amount of mana is difficult to see as significant.

But as if he had expected my reaction, Henette shook her head.

[That’s not for you, it’s for your daughter.]

“……what?”

Before I could even ask what he was talking about, I heard an excited voice from Dracolich.

[Father! If it’s not too much trouble, can I have this book!?]

One skill comes to mind, along with the voice of the very excited Dracolich.

sublimation.

‘… … Originally, it was a skill that consumed both morale and mana to change it into mental power.’

Of course, there were additional side effects.

Things like making sure that mana doesn’t feel unpleasant to me as a necromancer, or making sure that wizards don’t feel uncomfortable around me.

But I never thought deeply about why those things are like that.

I was so focused on just increasing my mental power that I never thought about the other effects… … .

“Did you know that?”

At my words, Henette just looked at me silently.

I click my tongue at the sight of him as if he wanted me to realize it on my own, but I express my consent to Dracolich.

[Thank you, Father!]

With those words, the dracolich deftly began turning the pages of the book with his claws.

Normally, the guy’s fraud and the mana from the book would clash and cause a repulsive force… … .

‘You’re fine.’

There was nothing in the inventory.

Dracolich simply enjoyed reading the book in front of him without any resistance.

Was it one of the powers that Sublimation possessed that it could suppress the conflict between mana and fraud to some extent?

[The tower’s rewards are always fair.]

“Yeah, I know.”

I manipulated the system window again, responding vaguely to Hennet, who spoke as if I were doubting the value of the book.

“Then it seems like we have nothing more to see each other for, so let’s go now.”

[Are you trying to climb the floors again?]

When Jeren tried to stand up at Hennet’s words, I immediately waved my hand away.

“No, I have to meet someone before that.”

The one who gave me the goal of completing Dracolich up to the 16th floor.

Witch Belladonna. It was time to meet her again after a long time.

[Do you want to move to the safe zone?]

Yes, as soon as I thought that in my mind, a gate appeared in front of me.

As I was heading inside the gate, I heard a voice from behind.

[See you later.]

In the end, we ended up having to keep seeing each other as long as we were entangled in that holy country, but whatever.

It wasn’t such a bad relationship.

“Okay, see you next time.”

With just a light wave of my hand, my vision changed.

[… …Father, what is this… …]

Along with the voice of Dracolich, a landscape of people who were not all that different from others unfolded before me.

Of course, it wasn’t that surprising that we ended up at the entrance we had first entered the safe zone from, rather than Bella’s house, which was the last place we had gone.

‘Are you sure you have to come here?’

I looked around and saw that it seemed to be true, as I saw people opening the gates and coming out from various places around here, not just me.

And all of those sights seemed incredibly strange to Dracolich now.

[Oh, oh… … .]

Peep.

A dracolich with its inventory open very small in the air and looking outside.

He seemed to have lost his soul as he looked around here and there, wondering what was so new.

There seemed to be one person who wasn’t too pleased with the sight.

[… … If that’s the case, why don’t you just go out and see?]

To the spider grumbling that it was ugly, the dracolich muttered in a slightly weak voice.

[Seeing as there are only humans here, I feel like I would stand out as a monster… … I guess that’s not what Father wants.]

Of course, whether that was true or not, I was just looking around and concentrating on finding my way.

‘… … This is it.’

The place I’m looking for is a shop run by the old necromancer who originally guided me to Bella.

Since it was clearly called Wizard’s Street, it should have been not too far from here… … .

[Hey, give it to me.]

[Oh, it’s my book! Give it back!]

[Let’s see… … Okay, can’t I just use this? If I use this.]

‘It’s noisy.’

When I reprimanded the voice that kept nagging in my head, only then did the two in the inventory become quiet.

Taking advantage of the quietness among the guys, I quickly found the alley where the wizards were gathered.

‘Found it.’

The street atmosphere seemed completely different from before, but it was true.

It was the alley where the old man’s store was located.

As I walked down the alley, the old man’s shop became clearly visible from afar.

Although it was difficult to move because of the crowd, I was able to reach the front of the store without much difficulty.

“……hmm?”

As I approached the old man who happened to be sitting inside the store, he immediately looked at me and stood up from his seat with his eyes wide open in surprise.

“Hey, you……!”

“It’s been a while.”

I was relieved that he hadn’t forgotten my face, and he walked straight towards me and grabbed my hand.

“You’re really back……! I’m so glad, I’m so glad…….”

The hospitality was so excessive that I was embarrassed.

I just came here to ask Bella to take me to her, why are you being so aggressive?

But the reason was soon revealed.

“The Bone Fortress guys have noticed you. Bella is desperately looking for you, so go meet her quickly!”

‘Have I already been caught?’

No, maybe it would be more correct to say that it is later.

It makes no sense that a group of guys of that size can’t find me, a mere necromancer.

Of course, it doesn’t seem to be moving yet, so that’s fortunate if anything.

The old man, who had just opened the store door, began to walk quickly.

“Let’s go quickly, time is running out!”

“Okay, I understand.”

As we walked along the road following the anxious-looking Bladen and crossed the mountain, a familiar-sized house began to appear in the mountain.

At the same time, the door to the house opened with a bang.

“……You’re back.”

And I raised my hand slightly towards the woman who opened the door.

“I’m back.”

Belladonna.

My collaborator, and the one who will take down the fortress of bones together.

She was welcoming me.

“……I didn’t come out just to hear such a welcoming greeting. Take it out.”

Of course, it seemed that it was not meant as a welcome, but rather to see it with one’s own eyes.

That’s what I should have done and did on the 16th floor.

And I catered to Bella’s needs.

[Come out.]

Ssuk.

The dracolich strode forward beyond the inventory and muttered in surprise as he looked at Belladonna.

[I feel an incredible power. From you… … .]

“……her.”

And what was surprising was that Belladonna and the old man next to her seemed to be the same.

An old man lying on the floor with his mouth wide open and her laughing, though not to that extent.

“You’ve done much more than I expected, you.”

She muttered something as if she couldn’t believe it, then started wiggling her fingers.

“Come in, you shabby bastard.”

“The dog barking has increased while I wasn’t looking.”

So I put the Dracolich back into my inventory and went into Bella’s house.

It was a house where nothing had changed, but there was one thing that was different.

“Where did your daughter go?”

Her daughter, who was always there, was nowhere to be seen.

She flinched at those words, but soon answered in a calm voice.

“When I think about what to do in the future… it would be better for that child to stay away from me.”

“Is that so?”

Since it was such a trivial question, I nodded without much doubt, and Bella got straight to the point.

“The reason I asked you to create a Dracolich is… because you need to have that much power to be valuable to them.”

“You mean the Bone Fortress guys?”

I wasn’t really surprised, since I had already heard that the guys were looking for me.

“Yeah, what happened on the 15th floor this time, you’re included?”

If it’s the 15th floor, are you talking about the incident where you collided with that Celestian guy?

As I nodded, she smiled and muttered, “As expected.”

“Because of that, your value has been set a little high, and now the Bone Fortress guys are looking for you with fire in their eyes.”

“……I guess there’s something up his sleeve.”

Excessive attention soon leads to defenselessness somewhere.

It’s like when you have concentrated troops, the defenses in one place become lax.

“That’s right, you need to go to the 17th floor.”

Suddenly.

She gritted her teeth as if remembering something and told me her goal.

“Raid those guys over there. Then I’ll get the information.”

“Information? What kind of information are you trying to extract?”

“Let me say that,” she said with a smile.

“Well, but I can definitely get this out of you.”

Bella’s face was full of confidence as she said that.

“At least a list of guys who would hit them when they were killed.”

And I needed that confidence more than ever.
