Chapter 346 – Demon Subjugation
Kak-! Kyaa-! Krurluk-!
The bloodied vampire reached out to Seo-joon.
A form that doesn’t even show humanity at all.
Its appearance was that of a human, but its behavior was close to that of a beast.
The appearance of manicuring with sharpened nails was rather intimidating, but the upper half was separated.
With his intestines spilled on the floor, he crawled far and wide on the dirt floor.
Seo-joon took a step back and avoided the nail.
“Ian.”
As he flicked his chin – Ian clenched his fists.
Taking a deep breath, I immediately plunged the sword in my hand into the vampire’s head.
Kek-
The vampire’s movements stopped.
The holy water applied to the sword surface properly penetrated the brain.
Whoa-
As if that alone was enough, Ian collapsed onto the floor.
The guy who was full of energy even when dealing with three or four vampires attacking him-, he looks so tired just by ending one life.
It’s probably because there’s not much difference from a person on the outside.
Certainly, the dead vampire had the appearance of a girl close to seven or eight at most.
If it wasn’t for the protruding blood vessels, she would have been popular in the neighborhood because she had a pretty face.
However, from the moment he became a horse servant, that past became completely irrelevant.
A horse breed is just a horse breed.
Even though it was hard to accept, I had to accept it.
In a way, I wondered if that was a warrior-like appearance.
Of course, which hero would be corrupted by prostate pleasure…
Seo-joon patted Ian’s back and helped him.
Shoot ah-
Thick raindrops mixed with the desolate wind and slapped my cheeks.
Even though it was clear that the sun had risen in the morning, the sky was dark with ocher.
Seo-joon licked his dry lips with his tongue.
Personnel in uniforms were breathing heavily.
The numbers alone were close to spirit, but the will to fight was dead.
The moment he was about to enter the entrance of the Magic Tower- it was because a large number of vampires came out.
There was no major blood loss because they had prepared in advance, but vampires were basically a tribe that dealt with demonic energy.
From the standpoint of the mercenaries who couldn’t handle mana – they had no choice but to be helpless. If there was no holy water, that is.
Even more so, the wizards’ protective magic was added – the damage was much less.
Attack magic was forbidden.
Because I couldn’t consume my mana before entering the Magic Tower-.
Of course, despite the warning, some students threw fireballs at the vampire in surprise.
It’s fortunate that there was no accident by the ally-, if the mercenaries were slammed into the confrontation line, a big accident would have happened.
“… That’s amazing. I never thought it would attract so many people.”
The Heretic Questioner- Claire Saliere let out a small exclamation.
After a few weeks of recuperation and treatment, she is now able to wield her sword.
So-, she also participated in the Demon Subjugation Corps.
“Is that so?”
Seojun burst out laughing.
Actually, it’s been a long time since I’ve dealt with power like this.
There were over a hundred wizards alone. In addition to that, there were only fifty mercenaries with a silver plate or higher.
Because they had brought all but the minimum number of people to defend the salt mansion-, there were now close to 200 people gathered here.
Seo-joon led them—well, it wasn’t because he had great leadership.
It was because he was aware of the existence of the devil in the tower and prepared for it, and because it was that strong- There were several people who were dissatisfied with his instructions right away.
They were the professors of the Magic Tower.
The top leaders of the Mage Tower, who said that even most nobles could not treat them carelessly, and the members of the free city of Galatea. They insisted on destroying the mage tower with large-scale magic.
There is a reason—it was none other than the appearance of the Magic Tower.
Originally a grayish-white building soaring high as if it would pierce the sky-, now it was dyed a muddy dark red color.
The dark red vines that wrapped around the outer wall of the magic tower looked like the veins of a giant demon.
They were actually pulsating- and blood-red liquid flowed out when they were cut with a knife.
“That Magic Tower itself has become a Witchbeast. You don’t even have to go inside. If you gather the mana of the leaders gathered here and hit it with great magic, that’s enough!”
An elderly mage with a long white beard – a giant in the earth magic world, who is said to be the history of the gray mage tower – Antonio Silvarte put a barrier to Seo-jun’s plan.
The words were plausible, but in the end, he said he didn’t want to go inside.
Just looking at it, it seems that the magic tower itself has become a witch’s nest- I must have wanted to avoid dog death.
However, whether it was great magic or whatever, it couldn’t be attacked from the outside.
It was the same as having to remove the magic stone to get rid of the labyrinth.
The mage tower could only be restored to its original state by killing the bloody demon lurking inside.
“No, you have to kill the demon yourself. No matter how powerful the great magic is, you can’t kill him. The mage tower will also survive.”
I don’t know if it’s an incredibly powerful great magic, but there was no magician with that much skill.
You would have to have at least level 8 magic to hit properly, but it was difficult to even use level 7 magic right away.
The most skilled mage among them is Audrey Yvette, a 6th-class mage.
At Seojun’s straightforward words- Professor Antonio Silvarte, as well as other wizards, expressed their dissatisfaction. The consensus was whether to dare to ignore the wizard on the subject.
Eventually, an assistant professor pointed and cursed at me.
“How dare you treat the mercenary who used to roll on the street somewhere!”
“Assistant Professor Lorenz-!”
Audrey whimpered.
He knew perfectly well that wizards were mired in chauvinism.
There was no other insane person like them.
If they could jump over the wall even by buying and torturing slaves forbidden by imperial law, they were willing to use that path.
These bastards were left unattended even when Karina bought her Seo-jun as her slave and sexually tortured her under the guise of magical experiments.
Such an insult was a nobleman.
So- Seo-joon shook his head.
“Then let’s try it.”
“···What?”
“If you try it, you will understand. I’ll give you three hours. I must kill the demon before the sun goes down – I can’t give you more time.”
At Seojun’s words- the wizards snorted.
“Three hours is enough, one hour is enough.”
Antonio Silvarte said that and gathered the wizards together.
Of course, not everyone followed him.
Faculty and cadets following Audrey Yvette, the next Mage Tower owner, kept their seats.
Now that it has become a fait accompli that the owner of the Magic Tower joined hands with the devil- her becoming the owner of the Magic Tower was the same as the prescribed procedure.
Professor Antonio tut-tsk-tucked his tongue-but he knew that the general trend was not on his side.
“The expansion magic is an earthquake-, the form is a crack-, and the hit point is the ground. I will draw up the frame, so you guys draw up the detailed formula.”
Antonio decided to attack the ground.
The tower had a strangely tall structure, so this strategy was correct.
In fact, it was the same structural formula as the magic used to destroy the Black Mage Tower, which the Empire rebelled against during the Unification War.
Because the mage tower basically had protective magic wrapped around each brick.
However, that only worked when the opponent was an ordinary mage tower.
Seo-joon clicked his tongue as he watched them uselessly draining their mana.
I wanted to set an example by forcibly killing one or two people, but it was clear that doing so would ruin our relationship later on.
Rather, it was better to set an example for this opportunity and take the initiative in the future.
“···Would it be okay?”
Audrey approached Seo-jun and asked.
He seemed worried that the magic might work strangely.
“Are you okay. They said it would take an hour-, we back off and do some maintenance.”
Seo-joon snapped his fingers and called the mercenary captains.
He instructed them to mend their weapons—reapplying them with holy water.
There, the gold plate and mercenary from before flirted with Seo-jun and licked his lips.
Seeing his ability to deal with vampires, he seemed to have a sense of triumph.
Either way, Seo-joon checked the condition of Ian and the rest of the party.
Woo woo woo-
Before long, I began to feel an artificial flow of mana in the air.
The air is shaking.
The raging rain and wind surged in reverse. The clouds dissipated and there was a thick earthy smell.
It was a sign of great magic.
Gu-gu-gu-gung- I heard the sound of the ground shaking, and the ground around the magic tower caved in and cracks appeared everywhere.
The eyes of the wizards who calculated the irreversible formula glowed blue.
The rift grew little by little – and eventually swallowed the whole area.
There were a few mercenaries who stood a distance and plugged their ears, fearing that the tower would collapse—but as the mage tower remained intact even after a long time, they quietly opened their eyes.
Kugu Palace…
Even after the great magic that lasted for a long time ended – on the half-destroyed ground – the magic tower was still strong.
The flesh of the ground that was broken and exposed- , beneath it- I could see things like dark red stems.
They stretched wide and deep – like the roots of a giant tree that had grown for hundreds of years.
“Oh my God, that’s…”
“… That must be impossible.”
They were then convinced that even if all the wizards worked together, they would not be able to destroy it.
Antonio Silvarte, who was at the forefront of expressing his dissatisfaction, also showed a resigned expression.
“You were right… I did something useless.”
Apple was quick.
It was because there was no reason to force it in the yard where the Great Magic Act had failed. Circumstances were also circumstance.
Seojun nodded his head without hesitation.
He didn’t have to show off—and he couldn’t afford to.
“I’ll go right in.”
Most of the wizards were exhausted from just squeezing out the great magic, but there was plenty of time to rest inside as well.
Seojun, who was in the lead, opened the door of the mage tower.
Ki-Ik-
The door opened easily.
Just like a tiger willingly opens its mouth at prey that comes in on its own.
