55 Episode 55: The One Who Lurks In The Tower

Preventing a megalo whale tide eruption, we successfully landed on our backs safely.

If it's true, I wanted to go down by the tower, but if that tower was dangerous. They could attack us as we approach.

If I were you, I would have prevented the attack without any problems, but Gyro, you guys are in danger, so I couldn't do such a dangerous imitation.

That's why I decided to land a little further away.

The tower, which is also a destination, is built almost in the center of the Megalo Whale, which is 5 km long, but one of the reasons why your magic was unlikely to hold up to get there.

"Huh, I'm tired."

Not accustomed to long flights, Gyro, you become hectic and enter the ground.

"I'm going to check around a little bit, so everybody's resting in the meantime."

So I give everyone the potion to restore their magic, and then I run out.

The destination is the black tower that grew on the back of the Megalo Whale.

"Nevertheless, it's lame"

I watch the back of a megalo whale while traveling at high speeds on my legs reinforced by physical strengthening magic.

His back was like rough rock skin, and he seemed so terrible that he didn't think it was the skin of a creature.

"This isn't normal. You've been fighting something and running all the way out here?

The back of the megalo whale I saw in my previous life was more sbessed and prettier.

What the hell happened to you being in such a terrible state like this ruin?

And it won't be long before we reach by the black tower.

"Doesn't getting this close and not being attacked mean it's an offensive building?

Is it okay to bring everyone in on this?

I approach the tower further and gently examine its structure.

"It's big..."

The tower has a cylindrical column structure, about 15 m in diameter.

Something like 30m tall, I guess.

The roots of the tower were pierced by the body of a megalo whale, sinking into which the surrounding skin devoured.

"Did someone stab this tower in the megalo whale?"

I'd do something terrible.

"And you feel strong magic from inside the tower?

As I approach, I feel a little magic from the inside.

After all, this is not a normal building.

This tower is probably, yeah, definitely an alley.

"Looks like you should check it out soon, so let's just say we'll be back to get everyone soon"

◆

"So it's a tower."

"Weird pattern"

"Who the hell built this stuff on the back of a demon?

"I mean, what are you thinking about putting up a tower on the back of a creature?

"It's a giant demon, so were you going to use it like a battleship?

Everyone who sees the black tower up close speaks thoughts.

But I had to say that the opinion was off target.

"No, people. This isn't a tower."

I point out everyone's mistake first. [M]

"Huh? I don't care what you think, tower, brother?

"No, it's not a building, it's a thing."

"" "". "" Things?

In my rhetoric, everyone snaps their necks. [M]

"Yes, this is a giant magic item."

……

Everyone becomes a Kyoton face, then in a few seconds they open their eyes wide.

"" "" "" Magic item duh!? "" "

Everyone speaks out in surprise.

"What do you mean, this is a magic item!? There is such a big magic item in the first place!?"

Deny that the black tower is a magic item if Mina can't believe it.

But that's true.

"This is definitely a magic item. From this structure I feel the flow of magic. It's not one place, it's full of magic running through the whole thing. This is because huge magic circuits stretch all over this tower."

"Liar......"

Mr. Mina's whining represented everyone's true intentions.

They can't believe this is a magic item.

But in the time I once lived, there were so many magic items out there.

"Probably because of this magic item, the Megalo Whales have come close to land."

I speak as I alternate between the black tower and the megalo whale juveniles across the ocean.

"The Megalo Whale was originally a creature of the outer ocean, not close to land. Closer to land, there's a risk of a shoreline, and more importantly, there's less food in the sea near land. Even fishermen go as far offshore as they can if they're after big fish."

"But what the hell kind of power does a big building like this have to be a magic item?

"I don't know if I'll find out."

Yeah, I don't know.

This magic item is the type I've never seen before.

I mean, it's more than likely not from the time I lived.

Compared to the damage to the skin of the megalo whale now, the magic item has little scratch.

For that matter, let's go inside and investigate.

"Get inside!? But this isn't a building, is it?

Liliera says that if this is a magic item, people won't be able to come in.

"No, at this size, there should be room for people to come in for servicing and adjusting... see"

After a little research, I can still find the entrance.

However, the door was not opened because the key was hung, so I was forced to destroy it and create an entrance.

"Shall we go then?"

"You just broke the door."

"Relentless"

◆

Light the magic of lights on everyone's weapons, and we will go inside.

"It's dark... oh, no."

Mina was right, the tower was bright with thin bonyards.

"You have a magical light running through the tower. I just think this is a lot of waste."

I find it oddly sweet to make compared to the enormity of the structure.

"Anyway, let's move on"

I'll take the lead, behind you, Gyro. Mr. Mina and Mr. Norb are in the middle, and Mr. Liliera and Mr. Megli are at the rear.

Explore the signs of the surrounding creatures with exploratory magic at once.

"There's no sign of a creature in the tower. Looks deserted."

Inside the tower it is a spiral staircase descending below, and above you can see something glowing.

"Come inside. Okay, but you feel a lot of magic coming from that glowing thing."

Perhaps this tower has the nature to trap magic.

The interior was filled with more magic than I felt from the outside.

This might be a bit of a mazuisillo thing.

We went downstairs without alarm.

◆

"Is this the power room?

Going down to the bottom tier, various devices were arranged there.

"A controller in a magic amplifier, plus a giant extractor?

One by one is the mechanism of a familiar magic item, but the size is different anyway.

Could it be made to fit the size of a megalo whale?

"Does my brother know what this is?

"Yeah, maybe, but it's a device that accumulates the magic extracted from a megalo whale in this."

"Do you even know that just by looking at it?"

Mina surprises me, but I think an expert would know this much.

Even now, I was a wise man in the past.

I just look familiar with this design...... oh, no, maybe it does.

"Maybe, but you're not the one who made this."

Yeah, I was somewhat sure when I saw the interior pattern.

"You're not human, so who made it?

"Of course that... Huh!

A sudden reaction appeared to sensory magic at that time when I tried to answer Ms Liliera's question.

"What's going on?

Everyone looks surprised at my reaction. [M]

"Apparently, the person who made this is here."

Did the sudden reaction mean you were hiding in the junction, or was it the gate?

Looking in the direction in which the reaction appeared, there was a passage leading to the back ahead.

And I hear footsteps from the back of the aisle.

Everyone lays down their weapons.

"Who are you?"

Appearing out of the darkness were silver hair and brown skin, as well as the unusual presence of bat wings, the demon.

"Demon!

Gyro, who has met a demon before, will change his complexion.

"Huh? Demon!? Huh?

Only Mr. Liliera, who has never seen a demon before, seems to be said to be a demon and has not kept up with his understanding.

"Well, I didn't expect humans to get here."

The demon sighs when he glances at us.

"Wouldn't you be a lookout for a demon like that?"

You're probably talking about the megalo whale juveniles?

"You planted this on a megalo whale?

I ask the devil a question pointing to my feet. [M]

"I have no in-laws to answer...... come on!

When the demon refuses to answer this question, he spreads his magical wings and bursts into my pocket.

"Mr. Rex!?"

Mr. Liliera screams.

"Die from you first!

A demon's knife surrounded by red and black light approaches my abdomen.

But while I spin my body half way through the attack, I grab the demon's arm and pull it in.

"What!?"

And half a spin went around behind the demon man, and I pushed him straight down to the floor to extremes his joints.

"Guaah!?"

"Manajamming!"

Furthermore, by instilling a special wavelength magic power in the demon, it disrupts the opponent's magic manipulation and suppresses magic activation.

"... Gu!? You can't use magic!?"

A demon who was about to fight back with proverbial magic raises a voice of surprise.

"Come on. You want me to tell you?

"So, who answers! Guardian! Kill the intruder!

A few black demons emerge from the back of the aisle in reaction to the demon voice.

You don't look like a normal demon, and apparently you're the defenseman of this tower.

The demon jumps toward me restraining the Lord.

"Danger!"

Mr. Liliera's spear pierces the demon that attacked him.

"I'm not letting my brother get his hands on me!

In addition, Gyro will stand between you and the demons. [M]

Yeah, this is everyone's chance to train.

"Guys, I have to deal with him, so I'll take care of him!

"Okay!

"Leave it to me, brother!

All right, now I can focus on the demon restraint.

"Hmm, is that good? You can't beat the Guardians in those people."

But the demon speaks to me in an invincible manner.

It's a very spare attitude to say that the joints are sealed with magic on top of each other. There's something about this.

"Damn, he's so fast!

"Calm down! Don't try to deal with him alone!

Gyro, you guys seem to be flirting with the quick moves of a demon moving around endlessly in a dim place.

"Kuhaha, human beings, etc., to this extent. Wouldn't it be better to help quickly?

So you're waiting for me to come and rescue everyone. [M]

But the idea is sweet.

'Cause I trained everyone.

I'm just a little fed up in a full-fledged battle, because I don't inherently struggle with demons of this magnitude.

"It's okay, if you do what I've taught you, you're the one who can win, people!

"Whoa!"

"Yeah!"

Gyro, you and Mr. Megri jump in towards the demons.

Naturally the demons dodge, but there Mr. Liliera sticks out the spear by the time difference.

"Ha!"

The demon dodges this attack critically, but even more of Mr. Mina's magic was tapped in there.

"Thunderlance!"

Mina's magical direct hit demon falls on one knee, and there again Liliera's attack pierces the demon.

This is the second one.

"Protection!"

The demonic attack that struck you from behind, Gyro, is unleashed by Mr. Norb's defensive magic.

"So!

Gyro, you jump and poke your sword luxuriously from the top against the demon who attacked you and collapsed.

And a flame of attribute enhancement erupted from the stabbed sword, burning the demon from within.

"Thanks for the help, Norb!

"Don't be too impotent!

"Evil, no evil, no evil."

"Yes!"

Now Mr. Megri creates a scaffold of magic in the air, attacking the demons as they fly around endlessly.

Though a fast-moving demon, Megri's movements, which take advantage of scaffolding in places that would otherwise not exist and avoid them, are very inaccessible, causing him to accumulate a little damage and defeat them.

"If so, stupid!? Guardians light this far when they're human!?"

And finally.

"Gyu!"

Moffmoff was using the acceleration caused by flying magic to attack the demons.

The demons try to strike down Moffmoff, but it's very difficult to hit that little body, and every time Moffmoff's attack hit, they scraped off a piece of their body.

"Come on, you're the only one left. What can I tell you?"

I speak to the devil because the trend has been completely decided.

Now you would have understood that there would be no more opportunity to fight back.

"... k, kukukukukuku"

But the demon laughs invincibly for some reason.

"Ku! Ku Ha Ha Ha! That would be good! I told you!

A demon raises his face and raises his voice.

"This is a magic weapon! It's a silo thing that accumulates demon life and explodes all at once when you have enough!

"Even a demonic weapon!?"

And the explosion!?

"It's been a long time to find demons full of magic in this day and age, but this demon's magic will likely explode enough to wipe the surrounding countries off the map!

"What the hell!?"

Mr. Liliera gives a surprise voice to the devil's words.

"Ha ha! Horrible, my daughter of man! It's no use trying to escape now! In a man of this age who can't even use flying magic in a busy way, he'll be caught in a blast before he reaches a safe land!

"Hey, if you do that, you'll die too!

"Whoa, that's not to worry. Because I have this metastasis bracelet! With this, we can escape to a safe distance in an instant!

The demon smiles.

So that's what happened when he didn't resist?

"It doesn't matter if you're in custody! I wish I could just pour a little magic into my bracelet! Farewell, mortal!

That's how the Demons scream, and everyone rushes out here to stop it.

However, at no time was there any indication that the Demon's Magic Item would be activated.

"Hey, why!?"

The Demon Man is upset that the Magic Item will not activate.

"No, you're sealing the magic from earlier, aren't you?

Manajamming is magic that interferes with magic manipulation.

That also means that the act of enchanting magic items gets in the way.

"Ah."

Reminds me that the demon is being obstructed by magic, and finally understands that that is the kind of magic that also inhibits the activation of magic items.

"... human, let's discuss it"

"Hmm!"

"Goha!"

Gossss!! and make a good noise and the demon kisses the ground.

"Spiderhold!"

I hang a captive magic to restrain the demon and take away all the magic items he was wearing.

I can't get away with this anymore.

Looks like he had a bunch of other things, so let's confiscate these items too.

"Fuck, fuck! Don't move!"

The captive demon is about to get out, but it's not sweet enough magic to get out to that extent.

But, you know, that's not the end of it yet.

"Moffmoff!"

"Cu!"

When Mohmov rode over the demon, he hung his wings in good health.

"Oh, stop it, you piece of shit! Don't twist my wings! Oh, ahhh!

Pfft, that's the punishment for licking us.

Oh, but I hope I don't eat weird food and break my stomach.
