Episode 80

Sweep.

I felt like I could feel the mana surrounding my body, and the surrounding scenery had changed in an instant.

‘Is it teleportation?’

It was a magic that I had suffered through so many times when fighting the Magic Tower Lord before, but experiencing it like this gave me a new experience.

Of course, unlike me, the Dracolich that suddenly experienced teleportation was wary of its subject, Ouroboros, and immediately intervened between me and Ouroboros.

[Father! It’s dangerous!]

Krrrrrr.

Even as he watched the dracolich baring its teeth and threatening him, Ouroboros did not show any sign of stopping him or reacting.

He just stares at me and speaks with a sly smile.

[It’ll be a bit long, so let’s sit down for now. Oh, do you want to see the scenery outside?]

Exactly.

As he snapped his fingers, light suddenly came into the space that had been pitch black just moments ago.

When sunlight poured in through the window on the side, only then did the outline of the entire space come into view.

‘… …Laboratory?’

It was as if it were a laboratory on a rooftop, with experimental equipment, documents, and all sorts of unorganized, unstable elements strewn about.

As I sat down on something I could find there, the dracolich looked back at me with an uneasy look on its face.

[… … Do you know him, Father?]

“I don’t know him, but he’s a really dirty big snake I know.”

To be exact, he’s big enough to smash three floors with his body.

[It’s a bit disappointing. How can I introduce so much to my daughter when I’ve done so much for her?]

In the midst of all that, I heard a voice, a sound that came from beyond that chaotic space.

Of course I ignored it, and brought over the statue that looked the most comfortable to sit on and placed it next to me.

“Dracolich, you too, sit down.”

[… … If Father says so, then I understand.]

Only then did the Dracolich sit down quietly.

Even though I was looking around cautiously, I felt it was a bit difficult to stop myself, so I looked out the window.

‘It is beautiful.’

I didn’t particularly like the fact that it was the work of wizards, but the scenery of the buildings outside was certainly grand and wonderful.

Especially the building I first saw when I came here.

The building, built so high that it seemed as if it would touch the sky, had a majestic appearance that made one wonder more about how it was built than its beauty.

[Is it beautiful?]

Swish.

Ouroboros, who had come up to me without any warning, asked me that.

When I nodded, he burst into laughter.

[Then it’s a bit difficult! The job you have to do from now on is to bring down that building!]

“……what?”

I was so dumbfounded that I couldn’t help but look at the guy.

Why do you suddenly have to tear down that building, and why are you telling me to tear down that building?

[Yeah, yeah, it’s ridiculous. But if you listen, you’ll understand. Why you have to tear it down! And that you have no other choice!]

Ouroboros, gesturing exaggeratedly and spreading his arms wide.

I wondered what they were up to, but my face naturally grimaced as I had a feeling that this was going to be an unusual story.

“Tell me in detail what you are talking about.”

[I guess you’re starting to feel like listening to the story now.]

widely.

As the guy stomped his foot, something popped out of what had been a wall a moment ago and placed itself between me and Ouroboros like a table.

And on top of that, out of the blue, there was tea and some snacks.

[I saw you drinking tea with Star, so I prepared it specially for you because I thought you liked it!]

“No need.”

What good is tea to someone who doesn’t even enjoy tea in the first place?

The guy who had been grinning as if he had been after me even though I had refused his tea, only then started telling his story.

[When you came here, the system must have explained to you what kind of place this is. It’s a world where it’s hard to survive if you’re not a wizard.]

“Yeah, I almost got caught a little while ago.”

Ouroboros chuckled at my words.

[Captured? No way! If it were you, you would have run away by crushing those bastards with those undead and somehow escaped their clutches!]

“……What do you want to say?”

I know you didn’t call me out just to say something like that, but I was getting annoyed that you kept wasting my time with useless talk.

It was at that time that I started to think that if this was going to continue, wouldn’t it be better to just leave?

[Aren’t you curious?]

Still smiling, the guy asked:

“What are you talking about?”

[Why was the God of Magic’s blessing bestowed here, and how is that recognition received, and what the God of Magic’s true identity is, etc.]

“not really.”

Even though I said that, the guy said it anyway.

[Hmm! I knew you’d be curious too! Normally I shouldn’t tell you, but I’ll make it a special occasion!]

“Dracolich. Can you use teleportation?”

That’s when I said that, annoyed at Ouroboros who kept talking as if he was trying to keep me from getting caught.

[The star in charge of the fifth twinkle from Pluto that you met on the 5th floor.]

Those words came out of Ouroboros’ mouth.

[And the star that is hostile to you is the true identity of the magic god that is being talked about in the quest.]

Towering.

Dracolich, who had been on guard to begin with, turned pale as soon as the word “star” was mentioned, and looked up at Ouroboros.

“Why is that?”

[I don’t know… … When I hear the author say stars, twinkle… … I get chills.]

Shiver shiver.

Looking at the Dracolich shaking its body on its own for some unknown reason, Ouroboros made an “Ah” sound and muttered.

[Oh my, even after becoming like that, he still has the instinct of a dragon? Amazing, amazing.]

Ouroboros nodded his head, saying, “Ho-oh,” but I immediately frowned and said,

“Go on with what you were going to say.”

[Oh, are you finally showing interest?]

I felt annoyed at that guy who was smiling so brightly for a moment and even thought about throwing a punch at him.

“……Phew.”

I barely managed to pull myself together and had no choice but to sit up straight and continue talking to the guy.

There must be a reason why he brought up this story.

[Yeah, yeah, good attitude! Where did I say that? Oh, yeah. Did I say that guy was Pluto’s fifth twinkle?]

As if he didn’t care about my reaction, the guy continued to babble on and on, then soon started talking again.

[You guys must know that when you fought the Dragon King’s clone back then, stars are beings that can only act when night falls. That means that stars can’t appear when the sun is up like now!]

Certainly, the fifth floor, where Pluto was, seemed to always have the night sky.

At the time, I didn’t really think much about it, but I wonder if it was a measure taken to enable them to operate.

[But you know, there are some people who want to challenge things that they can’t challenge in the first place, like moths to a flame. That fifth twinkling star guy was no different.]

“If I just listen to you, it seems like there’s no way I can succeed.”

But apparently, just a moment ago this guy said that the magic god here was the fifth sparkle.

That means… … .

[Yes, but he was a guy who was halfway to God. He managed to overcome that sun, even if it was by force. In the most horrible way.]

Kill kill.

Ouroboros, a laughter that sounds like a snake hissing, but somehow has a cool laughter.

[Even if it does become like that, it is not a complete overcoming, but rather a continuous suppression of the sun with one’s own magic. To do that, a huge amount of fuel is needed.]

As he said that, Ouroboros glanced outward.

The guy’s gaze was directed none other than at that tall tower.

“……What does that have to do with that tower?”

[Did you know that people like you are surprisingly good fuel?]

Chuckling, Ouroboros began to describe it as if teasing.

[They may not be as good at handling magic as elves or mermaids, but they are better than any other race at storing and refining magical power within their bodies.]

At the same time, the scenery I had seen from below a moment ago came to mind.

Just like the world outside the tower where I was the commander of the legion, there was not a single non-human race.

‘no way.’

[That’s right!]

Clap clap clap!

Ouroboros, who had read my mind, clapped his hands and laughed heartily.

[This isn’t just a heaven full of magic! It’s closer to hell! A hell where fuel comes naturally. Hahaha!]

“Is this something to laugh about?”

I said that because I was feeling really bad, but Ouroboros said it as if it didn’t really matter.

[I don’t know why you’re so upset, it’s none of your business.]

“Well, it seems to me that this is my job.”

Shh.

When I saw Ouroboros smiling at my words, it became certain.

That he didn’t necessarily say something like that for no reason.

[That’s right, the recognition that the quest was talking about is nothing more than you struggling to avoid becoming fuel for him! That recognition was a device he created to get the humans here to come in on their own! If you just get out of there, the people here will bow their heads and say that you’ve been recognized.]

“So that recognition has nothing to do with his feelings, is that it?”

[Why are you asking the obvious? A guy who is busy maintaining his own magic would have no time to vent his petty emotions.]

As expected.

This world, which appears to have developed dazzlingly, is merely a curtain to obscure the tower’s original goal.

The real purpose of this world is that tower built as a generator to use humans as magical fuel to mix with the sun and oneself, and being recognized is just struggling to survive inside that generator.

What is this? It says it’s 18 floors, but isn’t that tower actually the main body?

“This is the most annoying quest I’ve ever done.”

Why on earth does the admin guy give out stuff like this as a quest?

It was at that moment that the images of Jeren and Henette came to mind.

[Isn’t that why I came?]

chuck.

Ouroboros leans on the table and extends his upper body towards me.

[Of course, trying to forcibly overcome the sun like that is the same as denying the foundation of the stars! Just like a dragon cannot survive without its mana, or a fish cannot survive without being cut out of water!]

“so?”

[The stars have asked me to do something about this guy who has become so alien that he cannot be accepted as one of their own kind. They want me to deal with him. However, even if I were to directly interfere with the tower’s quest, it would definitely be a nuisance.]

Ouroboros, who pretends to be thinking, closes his eyes and bows his head while speaking.

Then, he said, sticking his face out so that it was almost touching mine.

[In the meantime, I heard that you had come to the 18th floor, so I came running here in a hurry!]

Then, the guy started to walk towards me, stepping on the desk while still keeping his face towards me.

[If you just destroy that building that supports the guy’s magic, the magic will naturally collapse, and from then on, you don’t have to step in, the guy will self-destruct! That’s the end! That recognition means that if you escape from the inside, it will end under the system’s judgment, and you can just dip your toes in and leave right away!]

And then he spreads his arms wide.

Even when I tried to stop him, he continued talking as if he knew everything.

[Of course I will help you enough! Even if I can’t show up directly, I will lend you my strength, which is something the Tower cannot interfere with, and if I just share my strength, you will gain an enormous amount of power that can destroy that building like a piece of cake!]

It’s as if he’s whispering to me that if I just leave it all to myself, everything will be resolved.

It was definitely a good suggestion for me too.

In order to quickly get to the 25th floor, it was definitely right to borrow the power of Ouroboros, and if so, I would be able to get to the 19th floor in just a few hours.

It’s actually strange that no matter where you look, you’re not receiving the power of Ouroboros.

but.

“If it’s to that extent, wouldn’t it be possible to give power to someone else to bring it down instead of just me?”

[All the guys here have such a strong belief in that magic god that it just won’t work.]

“Then why don’t we just give it to other players?”

Ouroboros’s mouth closed at my words.

The question, which started as a small suspicion, soon solidified into a certainty.

“There seems to be a reason why you picked me up and brought this up, and why you’re asking me to do something instead of forcing me to do it. Tell me.”

It had to be me, and this guy who is much stronger than me, why did he ask me to tell him this information?

What on earth could that be?

[… … Haa, damn it.]

Ouroboros, who had been smiling just a moment ago, suddenly frowned and became irritated.

Then the guy looked at me and said.

[Star, didn’t I say that I would hide it like this?]

No, to be exact, he said it while staring into space.

And then the next moment.

[Stop talking nonsense.]

From the air, a very familiar voice came to me.

The star that gave me the knowledge of stars.

“Blue and bright star.”

[… … Nice to meet you, Morse.]

I asked sincerely to that voice that sounded somewhat awkward.

“Why are you here?”

At those words, Byul seemed to think for a moment.

[I need your help.]

He answered in a voice that said he really didn’t like it.
