The Returning Supervillain Raises a Hero

Episode 48. Necroma Tower (2)

Thanks to the great performance of Indiana Julia’s flashlight, the Skeleton Wizard clenched his fists and screamed as he passed through all the traps and safely descended the stairs.

– Who the hell made such a thing!

At this point, I was curious too, so I looked at the set box, but there was only the Central Sorcerer’s Association certification mark and no producer’s name.

“But what is this used for?”

Tracy Gwen takes a whip and a magnifying glass from the set box.

“Did you not see the movie?”

“I don’t know.”

Hey, it’s a 20th century movie, so it’s not easy for kids to see. I also found it by accident while digging through the bunker after the destruction.

Still, considering that limited editions are regularly released like this, it must be said that the fanatics are still there.

I picked it up as Tracy gently pushed it aside to see if she didn’t like the whip.

‘Five.’

It can’t be, though. It feels like an item prepared just for me when it fits snugly in my hand.

As I swung it towards the floor right next to the Skeleton Mage, it scratched exactly where I was aiming.

“It’s okay.”

The Skeleton Wizard, who retreated behind the sway, glared at this side with a swaying eye beam.

slap!

– Ugh.

Swipe!

– That, stop!

“Ahead.”

-… Even if your lies are true, you will never be able to get in if you don’t deserve it!

Then, while hanging on the Igo River, the Skeleton Wizard walks in front of him.

Even if you’re grumpy, listening well is like a solar eclipse.

After moving for a while, a flat stone floor engraved with magic circles appeared as when they entered, and the Skeleton Mage said it was stupid, so I just put the key where I wanted to go.

That’s right!

The wall at 12 o’clock split left and right, revealing the passage.

– What?

“Tracy, the flashlight.”

“Uh huh.”

Tracy, who came next to me, groaning like a cartoon-like grotesque jaw-dropping skull, flashed a flashlight into the aisle.

no color Enter as it is because it means it is safe. As I passed the passage, I witnessed an unexpected sight.

“city?”

wide communal area. On the ceiling, there were a number of mining spheres made of mana instead of the sun, and buildings were lined up under it.

Since it’s high up here, when you look down, the city looks like it’s divided into three sections. shopping mall, residential area. Last one… .

“Professor Nam, that person!”

Tracy pointing to the head of the procession coming this way along the central road.

Take a picture and zoom in. It was the caravan dealer who gave us the scorpion.

When Tracy rushes down the hill to call the merchant, he finds us and is very surprised. Then he said something in an unfamiliar language and chuckled.

good bye

He hands me a money bag with a few coins.

“Why this?”

“A favor in the desert. Invest in the lower levels. It’s our family’s legacy. Please, may the Necroma Tower be successfully restored!”

A merchant who bangs the big flag on the camel’s back and leaves to remember this pattern.

The design on the flag is IK. I think I saw it somewhere… .

oh

It was the company that proposed to Quinn to transport supplies into space. They actually donated a huge amount.

A place like that should be fine.

‘Ritchet.’

Tsu that.

– Signal, fire.

The signal seems to be bad because it’s underground. Immediate communication seemed difficult, so I sent a message to support and raise IK caravans that work in the desert.

-copy.

Maybe it’s because I’ve been careless for a while to communicate with Richett? Igo-gang’s thoughts came to me belatedly.

– Magic, this guy uses magic. I use magic!

He hurriedly swung his whip and attacked the skeleton wizard behind him.

-late. you idiots I don’t know what the key is, but getting up from the floor is the norm here! I will devote a week of my life to engrave the rules of this tower into my soul! Whoa!

A black magic circle created under me and Tracy’s feet. Damn, that’s low-level transfer magic.

I was going to tell Tracey not to move because if he moved too quickly, his body would be amputated.

“Suck!”

He holds his breath and crosses his arms like a pharaoh and attaches his limbs to his body.

Anyway, he is a guy who will survive no matter where he is thrown into the desert.

After giving the order to Igo-Gang to return, I took a position similar to Tracy’s. Soon when the black light enveloped us and disappeared.

“Wow, what a smell! eww.”

It was on top of a mountain of junk and garbage. Judging from the distance we saw the entrance we came in, we could go back if we decided to go back… .

Crackle, moonshine, rattle.

Those are the problems. Things that climb up the mountain. Skeletons of different sizes, eyes, and movements.

I wrapped my whip around the neck of the one closest to me, hung it on a nearby jagged piece of scrap metal, and pulled it to make it look as if I had been hanged.

Then the guys who were running like a race stop.

Aha, do you have intelligence?

already dead body What’s the use of hanging? That means that the horrors of life still remain.

“name.”

little bit?

A hanging skull tilting the skull. He immediately removed his neck from his body and flew it across the stern.

“Next, you. name.”

-Oh, Aivar Onshe.

“Why are you here?”

-… I’m sorry. sorry.

“Don’t ask me twice. Do you want to experiment with how much you have to fly to reach the ceiling like him?”

– Oh, no. I need money.

A small skeleton glancing at the pocket the merchant gave me on my waist.

“Why do the undead need money?”

– You need money to learn magic.

It sounds like money can buy magic.

“Have you ever learned magic?”

– I didn’t learn. That guy is one… .

– This bastard!

The giant skeleton that had been lying flat jumped up and kicked the little skeleton’s skull.

– Oh, I’m sorry!

– I’m sorry for all the fuss. i learned one what is dragon

My whip, my money bag, and my eyes alternately looking at my neck.

this guy. The kid who killed people.

“try.”

– What?

“What you want to do.”

He glanced around and nodded at a few. Then, all of a sudden, the skeletons that surrounded me raised my body.

– Do not regret. sweetheart. Get the whip—

squash.

A skeleton that doesn’t want to see something that can only be conveyed through thoughts of contempt, so it doesn’t look like it, and when it hits it with a whip, it touches the part that was hit and makes a clunking sound.

-Kill this bastard!

There are too many to deal with alone.

“Doosik, take care of the other kids.”

rattle.

thud!

Doo-sik, who appeared while demolishing a part of the mountain, spit sulfur smoke and called Black Fang.

Except for the skeleton in front of me, there were no bones left and all were eaten by Dusik.

– This can’t be.

“Try magic.”

– Then you’re going to save me?

“report.”

Hwareuk.

He lit a black flame called Black Fire on the tip of his index finger and muttered triumphantly.

– No one can do it. So I made it this size.

“What is the formula?”

-… It’s got to be paid for.

look at this bastard

“Dooshik, just eat it.”

-Say, I’ll tell you! Collect 3Mg of Negative Mana near your kidneys at your fingertips and bounce the element of fire in the air like flint.

Mg is a relatively recently formulated unit of measurement as the managram. According to my standards, 1Mg is the amount of mana that can be obtained by meditating for about ten minutes.

As soon as it was run, a black fire of the same size and firepower was created.

-radish… brig?

What are you doing while doing this?

“Weren’t you, too, a silent chant?”

-I practiced desperately for 3 years!

When I slammed the scoundrel’s skull down with the handle of the whip, it cracked and cracked.

– Sleep, wait. You said you’d save me!

“when?”

At my gesture, Dusik eats it as if he was waiting.

‘yes?’

Contrary to usual, his actions seemed urgent, so when I asked the reason, he said there was an intruder in the sulfur zone he had set as his territory.

“It was hard, go. Ask for help if you have any problems. You know there are a lot of guys with nothing to do in containers, right?”

rattle.

Dusik bows his head saying thank you for just the word. He says he wants to do this on his own, and will refuse my help.

Shit, it’s all grown up.

As Dusik leaves, the constantly creaking scrap mountain falls into silence. The silence created by stopping all nearby undead.

“All undead who can hear my voice are gathered.”

Tracy, who was only watching from the side, brought wide sofas to the left and right to find out where she found them, put them in front of me and smiled and stood with her back on her back.

After sitting on the sofa and waiting for 5 minutes, 19 skeletons knelt down without anyone telling them to.

“Aivar Onshe. Forward.”

– Yes, yep!

The guy shrugged his neck when he placed his palm on top of his skull.

“This guy was trying to steal my money. And it failed. What are the rules here in this case? you. Tell me.”

A scholar-like skeleton with broken glasses points to raising his hand.

-Provides the income to be earned through ten days of labor if the individual cannot compensate.

“What kind of work is it?”

Skeleton pointed a finger down and continued.

– Garbage mountain search. Occasionally, useful items or ore will come out, and junk dealers will buy them.

Hmm… .

“You all tried to steal money from me. Am I right?”

-I’m not-

No, his neck was disassembled and he flew over another mountain.

“Are there any more?”

Looking at the skeleton wearing glasses, the guy bows his head. Then the skeletons around them all behave the same.

‘Is that the boss?’

Groups exist everywhere. It is an instinct to want to belong to an intelligent chain or higher. Then, naturally, there will be someone representing the group.

“Instead of working for ten days, work for me. Are you disgruntled?”

-There is not.

A skeleton with glasses embracing as if waiting. I asked him, sending Aiba to him.

“Why do you want to learn magic?”

-I’m going to go to the middle floor. It is richer there than here. At least this… , No more digging through the trash.

It’s like you’ve been to the middle class. He opened his mouth before I asked about it.

-I was a middle-class wizard. After committing a sin and having all mana drained, he was exiled to the lower floors.

“Then I will understand many magics.”

Glasses skull shaking its head.

-I can’t answer any questions about it because it’s on a post-apocalyptic oath.

“Then there is nothing you can do. Talk to me about the situation here.”

-… Aren’t you asking more about magic?

“You don’t need magic. There is also a teacher who can teach you whenever you want.”

-All right.

The spectacles skeleton, whose eyes flickered for a moment, answered my questions with sincerity.

In summary, it is said that this is the place where people who were trained sorcerers at the time when the Necro School was attacked or came in by accident. He added that it is the only layer that interacts with the outside world.

“Doesn’t the wizards of the middle and upper floors come to the lower floors?”

-No, except when entering and exiting for night guards.

It is said that the reason the undead appears at night is to secretly restore the Necroma Tower in the future.

By repeating this for decades, it was meant to impress people with the perception that it was a barren land.

– Middle-class wizards are not allowed to go out except for guard duty, so they often compete with each other to stand on their own. So did I.

There are various reasons for wanting to stand on the border, but most of them are for training.

Although the training facilities within the tower are limited. You can just pour out as much as you like outside.

“By the way, you. Are you a middle-class wizard?”

Listening to the story, I can guess the level of a middle-class wizard roughly. But this guy doesn’t fit it.

His status revealed by Unforce was amazing.

Above all else, it is a breakthrough of potential. A non-verbal trait stuck in my eyes.
