The wise man returns

The Mado demonstration was over, but I didn't realize how responsive Balin's discovery was.

The awe-inspiring discovery of the great princes inside and outside the tower!

Suddenly, the tide inside the tower shifts from Cleaden to Elia's side, which means the fall of Cleaden.

The day after the demonstration, the corruption of the Cleaden Clan was reported everywhere, as if waiting.

From minor trades of interest to the utility of the Martyrs' funds.

For Clyden, who committed all kinds of sins, the tower was sentenced to banishment, which he could call death row.

Banishment is a punishment for stealing all artifacts, sealing their magic, and chasing them away.

In fact, it was a drama that stopped me from pretending to be a wizard.

This whole thing happened in just two days.

As I expected, Valine had no way to hide her emptiness.

“Hmm...”

Whether walking out of the tower under punishment or clear, Balin, who was watching his back on the terrace, lets out a groan.

“What's the matter? ”

Elia, who was working on the artifact in her seat, turns her head.

Balin shakes his head and says,

“It's nothing. By the way, are we done with that renovation? ”

“Here, take a look. ”

Elijah gave me a cloak that would fit one person perfectly.

Valine nods and opens her mouth, looking at the magic circle carved behind her back.

“Yeah, you're pretty good at engraving magic lines. ”

Two days ago, they were both busy. However, Balin practiced Elijah's unique abilities through time.

The cloak he received was part of the process, but he was going to use it for something else.

“But there's still some immaturity. I'll show you now. Magic Maker.”

“Oh, yes. ”

When Elijah accepts the Magic Maker, Valine thinks, filling up on a shortage of treatments.

‘Cleaden, his personality never lets him go quietly. ’

Clyden struggled like a villain while filling his faction with inadequate qualities.

If everything that has been piled up in two days falls apart, even a normal person will go crazy.

How dare you put the Tower of Martha in front of your eyes!

If I had died fighting, I would not have left so easily.

‘Neither did Sayra's sudden numbness, and there's definitely something. ’

Balin carefully narrows her eyes.

It's not an exact speculation, but his instincts are whispering that if he follows him, something will come out.

The attitude that appeared in the trial, as well as the previous appearance, added confidence to the idea.

‘I'm going to grab that tail this time. That way we can move on to the next plan. ’

In order to strike an enemy, you must first know the enemy.

Otherwise, I couldn't move on to the next plan.

Using that Cleaden as bait to gain intel on the enemy.

That was Balin's plan.

That night.

Balin follows closely behind Clyden's back, hiding behind the tower.

The cloak you're wearing is an artifact made with Elia hours ago.

Sudden silver artifacts of the day, but that was enough for him to become a layman.

- Normal Ability: You obtained [Tracking].

- General Ability: You got [Ambush].

Occasionally, the acquisition of new normal abilities is random.

Balin feels a little better about her movements than before.

In the meantime, Cleaden's gait slows down, then disappears into one of the sewers.

The backbone of Balin, who was walking toward you without any thought, became cold for a moment.

"Wait, the sewers? Something's not right. It's clear that the sub tower was found dead..."

My heart started beating loudly. Balin checks the enchantments in her body with her eyes wide open.

Class 4 Common Magic Invisibility, Class 5 Common Magic High Silence.

And six classes of common magic, Shade Easers.

Invisibility, voice-activation, and motion blocking.

Everything you need to move in secret is complete.

Zec, Balin takes a deep breath and melts into the darkness of the sewers.

The hallway is full of darkness only, but in the meantime, it sounds as clear as Clyden's popularity.

The sound of footsteps echoing through the walls of the sewers. It was the eye of a falcon that had reached its maximum precise location.

‘This way.’

I smell small stones, invisible footprints, and the scent of the air. As I move, I hear another sound in my ears.

“Come out! Darkness! Get out of there! ”

Darkness? Who is it? Is it an alias? "

At least to the best of Balin's knowledge, there was no name Darkness.

Balin steps forward to hear her voice.

I spent quite a bit of time in the crooked barrels around here and there, but I couldn't get lost thanks to Clyden's constant shouting.

Arriving just outside of Cleaden, Balin is about to stick to the wall.

You hear another voice, other than Cleaden, in the dark.

Balin pushes up the swallowed saliva and kills his breath.

At the same time, the dark Mana fills the sewers. It was the Dark Mana of the Demons under the Demon King's command.

“You've lost everything, Clyden. And the tower's dreams. A powerful artifact and power that rocks a nation, and an unprecedented sense of pride. ”

“Damn, I thought you said this time would work! What the hell is going on? ”

To Cleaden, who growls and shoots, the voice of the Darkness calms down.

“That's what I want to ask. You took control of the tower perfectly and wielded the nobles for six months. What happened to you? ”

After a while of silence, Cleaden's answer leaks out in the darkness.

In the meantime, Balin moves closer, focusing on the two figures who look beyond the darkness.

“I had no choice. It was unexpected that he would create such a thing. ”

“I see. So, why are you here? ”

“I need your help. Lend me your strength one more time. ”

The opponent, called Darkness, is silent for a while at Cleaden's request.

The moment I thought about Valine moving for a while, the two conversations continued.

“Help? What help? ”

“He needs the strength to kill him. Help me one more time. The power you showed me when you defeated the Vendians! Do it again with eight classes of magic! ”

‘As expected... that's the man who killed Bendine Bridget. ’

The eyes of Balin that were watching were tapered.

If what you just said is true, the opponent who talks to Clyden, Darkness, is bigger than you think.

Eight classes of black wizards, the real culprit who killed the runway master. Plus, if Valine's right...

"Castro and those who hide their identities and work on their polymorphs - their leader!" ’

I knew the giant was hiding, but my heart was beating even louder.

While Valine calms her heart, Clyden offers an offer in a gentle tone.

“Once, once, if you help us, we can rid Valine of him and take control of the tower again. I'll make it up to you. Secretly telling me that you are the source of the dark. ”

“... hmm. ”

Cleaden's voice grows more agitated as the dark man reflects his concern.

“Anything, anything. In Ruby Tower, what you want...”

“I think you're mistaken. I'm not a god who decides the future. ”

“... what? ”

To the rebellious Clyden, Darkness spoke indifferently.

“What I see now and now that you've only brought the body, you can pay for it, right? ”

“What, what? Wait!“

Clyden hurries to greet you, noticing that things are going awkward.

But Darkness had already begun to act. Balin, who was watching from afar, raises his eyes at the twitching shadow.

“Then the story is simple. Negotiations are final. I'll make sure Valine is eliminated. For what it's worth with your body. ”

“Y-yeah, stop! Stop it... boom! ”

Surprisingly, the shadow swallows him up like a living creature.

I don't see Darkness steering the shadow, but I can see him as clearly as Cleaden swallowing it.

Cleaden's eyes gleam with tears, but Valine doesn't budge.

“After all, you've surpassed class seven as Manaro, the tower master. The power. Think of it as giving it back. ”

Cleaden's body is completely swallowed up for the last time.

A man's new brotherhood appeared over the shadow that was eaten without even leaving a corpse.

A tall, dry figure. It felt like I'd seen it a while ago.

Whether you haven't noticed the presence of Balin, a man called the Darkness growls with his tongue.

“Plans get tangled up in strange places. I can't believe I lost control of the Red Orcs and the Horse Tower. We need to get rid of him before things get any bigger.”

The place where Clyden and the man met was a shiny place.

That's why Balin could see him clearly, depending on the light.

The hood made it invisible to the inside, but it was as clearly detectable as the dark mana that surrounded the body.

‘You must be the Demon King's executive. ’

I knew it would be somewhere in the capital.

I had trouble not showing myself, but I finally stepped on his tail.

Balin is ready. If I missed it here, I didn't know when the next opportunity would come.

‘Never miss. ’

After the man heads off somewhere, the shadow catches up quietly.

The faster the man's gait, the faster Balin's movements went.
