Chapter 306 - Fall of the Veritas Magic Tower 3 (2/2)

They trampled on the wizards and mercenaries and swung their huge swords at them. Out of all the knights, there were many who had fought the demons the other day. They contained lots of hostility against Veritas for what had happened.

Even if that wasn’t the case, there were many who were disgusted with Veritas, which had always been arrogant due to its past.

“Quickly, find that teleportation magic circle!”

“If you don’t want to die, go look for it!”

Those who had reached Hilt Valley avoided the troops and wandered around, trying to find the magic circle.

In spite of their efforts to survive, rather than a magic teleportation circle, not even a cheap scroll piece could be found.

The entire valley was full of scrap and metal. It was literally a dumping site for garbage.

“It isn’t here! It is nowhere to be found!”

“Don’t tell me, Meister used us as bait…”

The words from a certain someone got cut with the final blow.

The wizards and the mercenaries, who were desperately searching for the magic circle, sat down after realizing that they were betrayed.

The swords of the subjugation that were furiously chasing after them slashed into the wizards the moment they came close.

Standing on one of the tallest ruined buildings was Albert, who was looking down at the subjugation troops heading his way.

He was hoping that they would be out to catch those young fools whom he had used as bait. However, the commander of the troops had seen through his plan.

It was good news that unlike the troops that went after the wizards, the troops heading to his direction were cautious like they were in a siege.

‘I know what you are worried about.’

Every time there was a light flashing inside the magic tower, the subjugation forces halted with fear.

Thinking that a demon had been summoned, but in reality, the light was coming from the long-distance teleport scrolls used by the high ranking nobles who possessed assets and treasures of the Veritas Magic Tower.

‘Should I try summoning a real demon at this very yard?’

He really wanted to do that, considering that the Imperial family had just betrayed the friendship they had that had been going strong for the past 500 years.

If he could collect the remaining materials in the current tower, he might be able to summon at least an intermediate demon.

However, it wasn’t the time to dilly dally.

Moreover, if a real demon did come out and if it took too long to take it down, it would turn troublesome for them too.

‘I am raging right now, but I am going to take a step back because this is the best thing I can do.’

Only then would it be possible to gain sympathy by saying, ‘The stupid Imperial family and the nobles fell for a conspiracy plot set up by some unknown person.’

And that would make it easier for the magic tower.

“Master, you need to hurry. The subjugation troops had already entered the magic tower!”

One of the disciples had reached the Meister and reported.

Albert could see the Gigants entering. Gigants were on their way even though the towers had fallen.

“The spell books, magic books, and the research data? Has all of the treasure of the magic tower been sent?”

“Yes, the elders have secured them and left first.”

“Did all of the high ranking wizards and their disciples left?”

“Yes, it is just me and you, Master.”

“Then we should go out too.”

Albert took one last look around the magic tower.

Even after Kauren’s riot, some places were still intact.

Nevertheless, Albert was born in there, and he had been deprived of his Meister position. He had no choice but to give up on the magic tower.

‘I will come back. Once again, it can be whenever… on my heart!’

After swearing to himself, Albert raised his hand.

Kwah! Puaang!

“Fire, there is fire!”

“Everyone, move back!”

The magic of Volcanic Explosion manifested by Albert engulfed the entire magic tower’s remains.

As the subjugation army, which was startled, retreated, Albert disappeared with his disciples.

For many years, the Veritas Magic Tower, which held its position as the 2nd best magic tower in the continent and the head of the Magic Federation, disappeared in an instant, all due to some unexpected turn of events.

And that event had a tremendous impact on the magical system of the continent.

The alliance with the magic tower that not just gave a lead to the throne of the Imperial family was also the driving force for the destruction of the Veritas Magic Tower. Emperor Rudolf declared that the Veritas Magic Tower was the main culprit in the summoning of the demon that had destroyed the north of the capital, causing a great deal of suffering and loss.

And effectively, it ended the Battle of Magic Towers!

However, the reformers couldn’t just rejoice over it. It was because the conflict between the two of them had caused a considerable damage to the magic of the continent and the magical world.

And that could have a significant impact on the future of the continent.
