The Birth of the 9th Circle Wizard

[You have entered the 96th floor of Klulu's Tower.]

[Haster's power works.]

[The door and key to the 97th floor of the tower are displayed in the ‘Status Window: Map’]

There was the sound of clashing weapons, explosions, and screams.

The players who appeared in the middle of the war looked around with a surprised expression.

“Welcome to the 96th floor.”

A voice that sticks in your head even in noisy surroundings.

Referee Hyla appeared among the players and drew their attention.

“On this floor, players are divided into two main teams. It’s the team that plays the siege and the team that plays the defense.”

Soon-won looked around.

Fortunately, Jihee, Karin, and Johan and Jinhyuk were by my side.

Haila's explanation continued.

“You are a siege team. So the number of players who do Mercury

3 times more than that. The deadline is 3 months. If the castle is captured within it, the siege team wins, and if it fails within that period, the water team wins. Then you will have no luck.”

With those words, Haila disappeared in an instant as if there was nothing more to say.

"flaw... "

T that.

Soon-won opened the map window.

The key and door were on the inside side of the castle.

“Isn’t it enough to just use the scalpel teleport magic to go into the castle as a group?”

I turn to the voice I heard from behind

There, there was a wizard who appeared to have considerable skills and was talking with a colleague.

“Attention newcomers!”

Then a giant man in armor with a bushy head full of scars stood on the podium and looked down at the players, scratching his head.

“I am Hual, a player who arrived here two months before you. Before I classify you by ability, I will only ask you three questions.”

Then the wizard who had just talked about teleporting raised his hand.

“Can’t we attack with a scalpel teleport?”

“That’s what the newcomers say every time. Inside the castle, there was a magic stone the size of a house, and those with undying magic spread a magic field around the castle. If you're referring to the scalpel teleport, you know what I mean, right?"

uh… .

The wizard shut his mouth.

This is because, if a magical field is spread around the area, the coordinates may be misaligned when performing mesteleport, and the body may be moved into the wall.

“It’s a foul to have a giant magic stone that can unleash such a magical field… .”

“It’s a foul or something. It's true that they have them, so even if you pour out magic like bombing, the magic field won't be scratched."

Hearing that, the magician who was about to raise his hand and say how about using bombing magic lowered his hand.

“Any next question?”

Soon-won raised his hand.

“I want to know how much effort has been put into entering the castle.”

At those words, Hual's eyes lit up.

it was

“Usually, how about digging the ground or setting a fire?Hual looked at Soon-won's face.

“Time is on Mercury’s side, so it’s impossible to besiege and block supply and dry it to death. It is impossible to starve to death whether the wizards who can use subspace magic are constantly being filled with new recruits, or if there is any supply line we don't know about. In addition, fire, water, earth, and sky can be tried by senior players who are already three months old.

I tried to get tired of it.”

“Then what are you doing now?”

“They go round and round to try to break the gates or climb up the walls of the city walls. Now that the above three questions have been answered, go to the Geombyeol Station there, write down your abilities and be assigned a tent.”

As soon as those words were finished, people appeared and categorized them into wizards and warriors, and began to divide them in detail.

Soon-won, Jihee and Karin were assigned to the wizard team, Johann was assigned to the healer team, and Jinhyuk was assigned to the ranged striker archer team.

did it

“The man is over there. The woman is over there.”

Although they are on the same wizarding team, Jihee and Karin are women, so they split up in the tent.

As Ji-hee didn't want to part with Soon-won, she sighed as the female player with a tired expression on her face.

“We will meet during training anyway, and we will meet again when the war starts tomorrow morning. You won't regret it that much because you're sleeping alone."

The player in charge of the tent guide grumbles that he doesn't have a lover and assigns it

I gave the tent I received and left.

“See you later at dinner.”

“… Eww "

O •

split at a fork in the road

Soon-won wasn't alone in going to the sorceress tent. There was another boy who looked his age.

“Hey, did you say your name is Soon-won?”

"Yes."

“My name is Lanto. nice to meet you"

Lanto, who was short and wore glasses, appeared to be in his late 30s and had a scholarly atmosphere.

"nice to meet you."

“It sounds like I’m older, but can we talk comfortably with new 96th-floor newbies like us?”

“Yeah, what. OK."

Soon-won also didn't like the culture of treating people with respect for having a one-year age difference, so he decided to speak comfortably.

“By the way, what is your wish for Soon-won so far… .”

Ranto's words were not finished.

The players who had been waiting to hear that a newcomer was coming opened the tent wide and

Because it welcomes people.

"Oh oh! Rookie Rookie!”

“Your dimension, your name, your magic circle, the reason you entered the tower, please introduce yourself like this!”

There were 20 people in the tent.

They all took off their robes with a tired look as if they had just finished the battle in the morning, then looked at the two new arrivals with a curious expression.

“I will do it first. This is Lanto from E-48 Dimension. 5 circles

So-won, a sorcerer, came into the tower to revive a family who died from an epidemic.”

“E-48? Araung your dimension wasn't there?"

“Hey, you really came from E-48? Come here. What country are you from?”

While the two were talking, other players asked Soon-won to introduce himself.

“This is Jung Soon-won from the E-35 dimension. I’m in the 8th circle and I have people I need to meet, so I came into the tower.”

Then the wizards in the tent

It was quiet for a moment.

“Eight circles?”

“I heard that there are very few E-35 dimensional players, but even if there are, they all die in the early stages of the tower because they have a low mana concentration. .”

Even Soon-won was unaware that the Tower of Cthulhu existed before this incident.

‘Most of the people who entered this tower… .'

The momentum to sell even your soul to the devil for what you want to achieve

People who had a place to go usually entered the tower.

Most people's wishes were near impossible to achieve, so they had to climb the tower high, and most of them seemed to have died without reaching them.

‘There were so many missing wizards that I thought they might have been assassinated by the hostile country, but I don’t know if they died because they came here.’

A wizard approached Soon-won, who was lost in thought, with a questioning expression on his face.

“Are you really an 8th circle? Open your magic.”

“It’s not difficult.”

It was funny to pretend that he had arrived a few months early at the most, but he didn't have to turn them all into enemies, so he decided to give it a go.

hey hey hey!

As the mana circle rotated, the magic power was released. The magical energy emanating from the mana circuit that was more advanced than other dimensions along with the ancient armor set was beyond imagination.

“O uh I”

“Wow!”

“Stop it!”

There were wizards who vomited or even vomited blood due to the backflow of mana that came out in an instant.

Soon-won stopped spinning his mana and they looked at him with fear.

“What the hell is this monster newcomer?”

* * *

Soon-won was immediately brought to the top level. When he got there, Jihee and Karin were already there.

“Hey, the screening staff got a stomachache, so I just wrote down the paperwork and passed it, so I made a fuss.”

The people gathered at the top level were those who belonged to the top 0.01% of the players gathered here.

At least a 7th circle master level or a sword master level was required to enter the leadership.

“It’s amazing that all three are E-35 dimensional players. Few people come from that dimension, but I heard that even if there are, they are all filtered out 10 floors ago.”

Soon-won smiled bitterly.

He never made it all the way to the 96th floor, and he didn't even know how he ended up on the 10th floor and how he got here.

‘I can’t see Hee-ju or the others.’

There was no guarantee that they would make it to the 96th floor. In the case of the previous floor, as the referee said, it is because the players from the 91st to the 99th floor were randomly summoned, so they may have gone to the 92nd floor or the 100th floor.

‘Is it possible that he went to the Mercury team?

A wizard approached Soon-won, who was lost in thought.

“Anyway, nice to meet you. I say jackal

Yes. When a new person arrives in the original leadership team, they have a drink and get serious.

Identify your abilities and figure out ways to use them

Sir, as you can see, most of the top leaders here have reached the end of three months.”

"i See."

“So, let’s talk about the attacks we’ve tried so far.

I want to know what you guys think.”

Another wizard protested against him.“What do newbies know… .”

“This man. What is that for a player who has gone through everything before and after and came all the way here? You just came a few months early?”

“No, it’s not that, we’ve done everything we’ve been able to do… .”

“Young people may have different ideas. And there are legends about the E-35 dimension, right?”

“If it is a legend related to the E-35 dimension, 8

You mean that player who went up to the 00th floor?”

"Wait. 800th floor?”

Soon-won interrupted the conversation with a very curious expression.

“Yeah, that’s it… .”

It was then.

Cuckoo! Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooing your you for!

The earth shook as if there had been an earthquake, and there was an explosion sound that seemed to tear the eardrums.

Soon-won was startled and grabbed Ji-hee.

“What do you mean?”

“The Mercury side uses bombing magic. We don't have a huge magic crystal like them... .”

“The amount of magical power you feel is great, how are you blocking this attack?”

The wizards looked at each other's faces. It was a slightly perplexed look.

“You, maybe… .”

Jackal didn't want to say anything but stopped.

“Let’s go out and walk for a while.”

Soon-won looked at Ji-hee.

He nodded his head to tell him that he felt it wasn't a particularly dangerous situation.

The two left the tent and began to walk through the camp.

Several players recognized the jackal and bowed her head.

“I am respected by the players.”

“Well, it’s up to us whether to send them to the next floor or not.”

“But how are you really just wielding these attacks?”

Is it true that there are magic crystals that do not dry out on the side of Mercury, what is the scale of magic?

Married.

To block this kind of magic, it seemed like the siege side would have to have enough magic crystals.

“Do we also have Magic Stones?”

"that is… .”

Jackal hesitated at her words.

“I was shocked when I first found out. How are you going to take this... .”

“What are you doing?”

“After that, follow me.”

While walking through the maze-like camp, a large tent appeared. right there

Ten prosecutors who seemed to have great skills were guarding the tent.

“What the hell… .”

The leadership was not guarding it with such an iron fist.

Soon-won put on a curious expression on what was inside, so he was protecting it by doing this.
