chapter 24
24- That was my house
Evan succeeded in transforming while staying up all night for 7 days. He was reminiscing, satisfied with the results he had achieved.
Evan, the lord of the mage tower, had pride, not conceit. He thought he had reached the pinnacle of magic.
Indeed, he had superlative talent, and he put in enough effort not to rot that talent.
Across all continents, even the demon lord. He thought there was no one on his own when it came to the path of magic.
If he were just an ordinary wizard, everyone would have called him arrogant.
But he was the master of the mage tower who proved himself in the mage tower at the end of the continent.
‘Until you see that.’
There was an incident in which Star Mana, the most valuable resource in the Magic Tower, disappeared.
It happened at a time when the situation on the continent was unstable. All the researchers at the Magic Tower studied the formula, but couldn’t figure out the cause.
In the meantime, a noble visited the magic tower under the pretext that he would solve the problem. It was Laplace, Duke of the Empire.
Because they were nobles who considered magic to be their exclusive possession, the Mage Tower did not like nobles. Especially Evan, the owner of the Mage Tower.
First of all, I was thinking of listening to the great aristocrat of the empire and then sending him back. I was still distracted by the matter of the mana of the stars.
However, he told the absurd story that there was a Demon King’s army. It was absurd, but it was otherwise inexplicable.
I pretended to be deceived and followed him, but the Demon King’s forces were indeed stationed there.
And it wasn’t even a small number. Thousands of troops were hiding in places to extract star mana.
For now, I was thinking of retreating and requesting the dispatch of troops to the castle.
“hahahaha…”
I laughed out loud when I thought of that time.
-Defend yourself well.
He left a word, then lunged at the gigantic goblin who appeared to be the enemy’s leader.
Then,
‘I really didn’t expect to catch them all.’
Noble Laplace, a maid who looked like a rabbit beast, and a blind slave who couldn’t see. Only 3 people wiped out thousands of enemies.
At first, I was dumbfounded. But as a single magician, I couldn’t help but ask.
With a simple sword, not even a magic sword. How did you put the magic into the sword?
I had a special request, so I had a chance to see it one more time. I couldn’t figure it out. Even after searching all kinds of munhyeon, there was no magic that could imbue an object with magic.
It was from then. No matter what kind of magic you study, no matter what kind of magic formula you interpret. It continued to flicker in front of his eyes.
I fell into the slump that others say.
But a promise is a promise. No matter how much the slump came, Evan started transforming to keep his promise to Laplace, who said he would make a sword.
Remembering Laplace’s battle, Evan started transforming. Abandoned the familiar way. He began to transform the mana of the stars, which everyone said was a meaningless action, into a single sword.
Obviously, at first, I failed over and over again. It was an action that no one had attempted since hundreds of years ago when the first floor of the Magic Tower was built.
-Lord of the Magic Tower, this is impossible no matter how you look at it.
-Leave the familiar way, why are you like this?
Everyone stopped Evan, who seemed to be out of his mind, for several days and nights.
No one could see the way Evan was looking.
‘Twice, no. If only one more time.’
The mana of the stars was originally a power that humans could not handle, and there was no way Evan, who continued to overdo it, could not be fine.
– Any more is dangerous.
-You must stop.
“Finally…”
Despite their disapproval, Evan poured mana into Yeonseongjin again. At the same time, the mana of the stars filled the whole place.
The mana that had spread enough in the atmosphere was condensed into one place. As it was, hundreds of spells were hit at the same time.
With that, the mana of the stars was in a form that people could use.
After that, all I had to do was shape the arms…
“Oh.”
A short sigh flowed from Evan’s mouth.
As a result of the accumulation of extreme fatigue, he realized that he sent without taking the most important shape.
‘Well… I wonder if that person will take care of it.’
Evan was worried for a moment, but if Laplace showed him. He thought he would do well.
‘I should go to sleep.’

‘What the hell is this…’
For now, I brought the items sent by the Master of the Magic Tower into the room.
Shh…Shhh…Shhh.
It was a blue object like bubblegum that made a strange noise. Apparently, it was written as a sword in the letter. What I was talking about the other day was also the sword.
But I couldn’t understand what the hell was going on.
‘Does he have any ill feelings towards me…’
I was creating an atmosphere that would explode if touched, so I didn’t feel like touching it hastily.
“Cecil.”
“Yes, master…”
When I called her name, she ran at once. As she entered the room, she showed a disgusted expression.
“Master… I’m sorry, but what the heck…”
“If you’re tired, you can go outside.”
“Yes…Thank you.”
Judging by Cecil’s reaction, it was clear that it was ‘something’ made from the mana of the stars.
The problem was, I didn’t know what that ‘something’ was.
“Hmm…”
Hook.
After a long thought, she just put her hand in it. It was not an act done without a countermeasure.
I made a relationship with the owner of the Magic Tower that was not as bad as I thought. There was no way he would send something that would harm me without any reason.
Secondly, it was just frustrating. It was out of character to keep staring at something I didn’t know what it was.
Chiik.
With the sound of the wind blowing, smoke burst out. At the same time, the feeling of the hilt of the sword passed through her hand.
‘Was that the correct answer?’
As the smoke began to clear, an outline appeared.
It was too rough and huge to be called a sword. However, the blade at the end was sharpened, as if claiming that it could cut down the enemy at any time. Overall, it was black and dull.
As I let the mana flow, it began to show a soft light. Seeing the yellowish crack spread along the blade, I felt a sense of wonder at how similar it was to using a lightning sword.
‘Is the owner of the Magic Tower…’
An endless stream of admiration flowed from my heart.
It was a sword that seemed to condense a man’s romance. I wanted to run out and test it right away.
‘It looks like it’ll get caught in the crack in the door.’
As I was contemplating how to carry it, the tip of the sword began to crumble and disappear.
“Huh?”
While I was panicking, only the hilt of the sword was left. The sword body had disappeared without a trace.
Even though only the hilt was left, it boasted the size of a tolerable dagger.
‘No way…’
When mana flowed into the hilt of the sword, a sword with the same appearance as before was created.
After several experiments, the evaluation of Evan changed in my head.
‘You are a god, the lord of the mage tower.’
I couldn’t help but admit Evan. Even in the original work, the sword of this size and the sword of the devil were the only ones.
**
I ran to the forest a little far from the mansion. I wanted to wield this sword right away.
Boom!
The huge tree was split in half and fell down as it hit the ground.
Except for the fact that it has a slightly striking design, it was a sword I liked.
Suddenly, I was filled with curiosity. How long will this sword last?
The amount of mana that a normal sword couldn’t withstand flowed.
Chijik.
The sword body began to glow yellow, and thunder began to dwell.
I firmly gripped the hilt of the sword with both hands and swung it with the maximum power I could.
Boom!!!
Dozens of trees fell helplessly, like reeds.
What was written in the letter was not a lie. It was a sword that was not inferior even compared to the holy sword that appeared in the second half of the original work.
‘It might be better.’
As I was testing the sword several times, Sebastian hurriedly ran to me.
“Lord!”
Although Sebastian usually showed a decent appearance. When I did something, or when something big happened, I looked embarrassed.
“Why is that?”
If he was pulling my arm, it was clear that something big had happened. Hooking the hilt of the sword to my belt, I started walking after him.
“That’s… I don’t know what to say.”
As we got closer to the village, the musty smell stung our nostrils. It smelled like something burning.
Maybe the village was on fire.
In this day and age, fire was a dangerous calamity. Still, I couldn’t understand why Sebastian was so flustered.
“Why would you do that?”
“It’s all my negligence. There’s a fire in the mansion…”
I remembered a video I saw while passing by the Internet.
-I heard that the house over there had collapsed, so I went to see it. But when I came to see it, my house had collapsed. As soon as I saw it, I burst into tears.
That was exactly my situation.
I thought the town was on fire, but it was the mansion!
“Okay.”
It wasn’t a big deal though. Fortunately, I belong to those who can use magic, so unless there’s a forest fire. Could easily be suppressed.
What I saw as I hurriedly returned to the mansion was
“The hell…Who did it?”
“This is a red dragon that lives in Oswell Gorge.”
The mansion was burned to ashes.
