Episode 143

The experimental results for each type of magic stone were as follows.

D-grade – Magic

C-grade – Rare

B-grade – Unique

A-grade – Unique

“I thought the results would differ by grade, but there seems to be a limit.”

“What you see isn’t everything.”

I lightly touched the soul stone made from the A-grade magic stone.

The energy visible through Spirit Eye was clearly greater with the A-grade magic stone base.

It must be difficult to exceed the grade classification set by the system.

“If we use an S-grade magic stone, we might get a higher grade.”

“I don’t think that would work.”

“It would be due to understanding and Master’s ability.”

“As expected of Ingrid.”

It was convenient that she figured things out without me having to explain.

“The ability to contain a soul. Truly fascinating.”

Alphonse’s eyes swept over my entire body.

Eek.

Those are the eyes of someone who looks like they’d keep me tied up here for life.

“Ahem. Why are you so startled?”

“It’s nothing.”

“You old fool. Looking at him so ominously, of course the young fellow would be surprised.”

“That’s how it appears to the eyes of the ignorant!”

I’d grown quite accustomed to these two’s bickering by now.

I suppose I could understand why they made me their proxy due to their pride.

Their behavior reminded me so much of school days that I decided not to think about it anymore.

I!

Stopped thinking!

“Let’s just make more soul stones.”

With that muttered comment, I took out another magic stone.

The place where Alphonse’s memories remained the most.

Could I really miss this event location where the souls of the 12 Heroes get copied!

Since making soul stones wouldn’t destroy the office, I planned to extract as many as I possibly could.

“Won’t only mages be able to benefit from this?”

“Don’t worry. There’s the Death Forge.”

One of the structures established in the Death Forge.

The [Cursed Tombstone] can change the properties of soul stones.

Though I never knew it could be used this way.

Soul stones made by extracting traces of the 12 Heroes.

If used for Undead Creation, they’d work better than Fragmented Soul Stones, right?

Ah.

I’m excited.

My fingers were itching with the desire to experiment right away.

“Phew. Let’s calm down.”

I don’t have time to be doing this.

Let me quickly carve soul stones and extract all the benefits I can!

* * *

The chaotic exchange ended without any major incidents.

“I won’t accept it! Min-ho isn’t even your disciple!”

“So who won then? Didn’t you see the sword cut through magic?”

“Grr!”

This was all I’d seen in one day.

But I’d already gotten used to the two elders growling at each other.

Now whenever I think of the 12 Heroes, I’ll probably laugh first.

Alphonse gave me a luxurious metal watch as a gift.

“It’s a watch signifying an honored guest of the Clocktower.”

“This is too precious a gift.”

“Heh heh heh. It means you can visit anytime. The tower will always keep its doors open.”

A gift with a spoonful of burden added.

Still, I felt grateful.

Since it meant the Clocktower was vouching for me, I could use it anywhere.

“Me, me, me, me!!!”

Emilia rushed over with tremendous momentum.

She also held something out to me.

I already gave her an autograph at the beginning though?

While puzzled, I looked at what she was holding.

“It’s a mobile phone.”

“Contact info! Please give me!”

“Yes.”

I, I’ll give it to you.

Overwhelmed by her tremendous energy, I found myself entering my phone number without thinking.

Buzzzz—!

The mobile phone immediately vibrated.

Without needing to ask, the caller was Emilia.

“Please save it! Please!”

“Yes.”

All I could do was give an affirmative answer.

“I’ll definitely! Visit Korea!”

Only at times like this does she pronounce things so clearly.

Fan devotion is truly terrifying.

“I really gained a lot this time.”

“With a little more training, you should be able to awaken your aura.”

“Oh. Really?”

“You must have felt something while overcoming and dominating the sword’s telepathy.”

Felt, huh.

When I infused my mana, it was definitely different from simple ’emission’.

So that’s the direction toward aura.

“Hmph. You’ll be focusing on magic training for the time being anyway.”

Ingrid’s voice had undeniable thorns in it.

It seems her competitive spirit has been ignited.

“Hahaha. I’ll show mercy and yield.”

“What mercy are you talking about.”

“Work hard, mage.”

Communicating with weapons and gaining clues about aura was also a great achievement, but.

The direct achievement was undoubtedly discovering the soul stone creation mechanism.

“Ehehe, ehehehehe.”

Unique grade soul stones – 25 pieces.

That’s the number of soul stones I created in the Tower Master’s office.

When I tried to make more soul stones, the skill wouldn’t activate, saying [This is not the proper location].

The soul isn’t infinite either.

That’s fine.

I could visit Director Jeong’s office or residence.

Or I could make additional Soul Stones when I go to receive my reward from Sir Gerard.

“There’s no law saying I must base it on records of skilled individuals.”

“I think collecting souls from strong individuals would have better effects.”

Ingrid’s words made sense too.

“Well, let’s experiment slowly.”

There were still many unknown aspects to Soul Stone crafting conditions.

There’s more than one or two things to research.

It felt like homework was piling up day by day, but I didn’t feel bad about it.

“Thank you for visiting today. It was a day where we both gained a lot.”

“Alphonse. Could we perhaps tour the Clock Tower before we leave?”

The purpose of coming to Prague was tourism.

Since things turned out this way and I couldn’t see the famous tourist spots, I should at least be able to see the Clock Tower, right?

“H-hyung!”

Mi-jeong teared up.

Come to think of it, she said she admired the Clock Tower.

I didn’t ask for her sake specifically, but it worked out well.

“Kekeke. I’ll guide you personally.”

Oh my.

How gracious.

With the Tower Master of the Clock Tower personally guiding us, most areas were free pass.

“This is a library where magical theories are collected.”

“The amount of materials is enormous.”

The books I saw on the first floor were nothing compared to this.

My jaw dropped at the volume of books that rivaled any decent library.

“One computer would do the job. What a pointless waste of space.”

“Tsk tsk. Even your brain is filled with muscle. Magic should have elegance.”

“You? Elegance?”

These elderly people are at it again.

Please don’t fight and give us more explanations.

“This isn’t an ordinary library.”

Alphonse stretched both arms toward the ceiling.

“Hunters who have registered their mana wavelength to the Tower can find customized materials here.”

Whoosh!

A book flew into Alphonse’s hand.

[Introduction to Gravity Magic]

Oh.

Ohhhhh!

It looks impressive!

“It’s decent enough.”

Ingrid said with an indifferent expression.

A system acknowledged even by the strongest being in the Witch Coven.

It was fitting for a magical organization that competed for first or second place worldwide.

“Then let me show you the next location.”

Mages conducting joint research.

Some were sparring.

Others were conducting dangerous-looking experiments.

“For a world where magic has only been known for a short time, this is quite impressive.”

“They also have items like Skill Books.”

“Still, they have a long way to go to catch up to the knowledge the Witch Coven has built up.”

The Eclipse Witch passes down knowledge accumulated through generations to posterity.

Ingrid’s confidence had solid grounds.

After the Clock Tower tour, on the last day we finally managed to see a bit of Prague.

“It would be a bit disappointing to return home immediately.”

President Baek.

You’re taking this trip too seriously.

“I love it!”

“When will we get to visit Prague again?”

The Support Team friends were so happy, I had no choice.

So the last day of the European trip was spent relaxing and enjoying ourselves with all thoughts set aside.

Once I return home, I’ll be too busy to breathe.

“You should enjoy yourselves too.”

“Haha. For me, the greatest joy is serving my Lord.”

“Don’t kill the mood and just eat some ice cream.”

“Hmm, hmm. This has quite a mysterious taste.”

After Prague sightseeing.

At night, I analyzed the [Fallen Knight’s Blood Longsword].

“Please get some sleep.”

“Tomorrow I won’t be able to touch this sword.”

I promised Sir Isra.

That I would personally make a weapon suitable for him to use.

The structure of the Fallen Knight’s Blood Longsword.

The history and soul records embedded in the sword.

I had to read and engrave as much as possible into my mind.

Only then.

Could I make a sword befitting Sir Isra.

The last night of the European trip passed like that.

* * *

Korea, after returning in half a month.

“Ugh.”

I stretched both arms while waiting for my turn at immigration.

The European trip was really nice too.

But seeing Korean written everywhere made me feel at ease, so I guess I’m truly Korean after all.

I can’t stand the inconvenience when I go abroad.

Even if offered immigration, I concluded in my heart that I’d just travel occasionally.

“Hunter Park. Are you prepared?”

“Huh?”

“When we go outside, there will be a huge crowd waiting.”

“Boss, you didn’t mobilize a fan club, did you?”

“It wasn’t me who did it.”

President Baek waved his mobile phone.

A photo posted on SNS.

It was a story Emilia had updated.

―I took a photo with Hunter Park! Apparently he’s returning on the 12 o’clock flight!

└ Going to welcome him.

└ Me too! Me too!

└ Why is Mister Park Korean?

E… Emiliaaaaa!!!!

“Don’t worry. It would have been revealed even without this SNS.”

“Huh? Why?”

“Didn’t you see reporters swarming everywhere we went?”

“I had no idea.”

I knew that people’s attention was focused on me thanks to the Heavenly Martial Body.

But I never thought reporters would be mixed in with those crowds.

“These are all articles from various European countries.”

Scrolling down with my finger, the amount of articles was tremendous.

Photos of our group taken at different locations.

At this level, it’s complete paparazzi.

“You didn’t know?”

“Gyeong, why did you stay quiet when you knew?”

“When they’re trying to praise my lord’s greatness, why would there be a need to stop them?”

“Hoho. That’s a good mindset.”

The two vassals I summoned after finishing immigration made frustrating comments.

“Then there must be reporters in the fan club too.”

“Yes. The reporters are mainly ones I arranged in advance, so you can just interview them without worry.”

“Thank you…?”

Wait a minute.

You arranged them in advance?

That means you told the media beforehand!

“Yes. It wasn’t something to hide, so I called them.”

President Baek.

Even you!

Please tell me about things like that earlier!!!

“If I told you, wouldn’t you have been shocked?”

“At least I could have prepared myself mentally!!”

Ugh.

There’s really no one I can trust.

“We’ll clap enthusiastically from the side.”

“Hyung. Fighting!”

The support team friends quietly stepped back.

I’m so grateful it brings tears to my eyes. Really.

Whirrrr—

As the automatic doors opened, just as President Baek had warned, a tremendous crowd was waiting for me.

The fan club from the promotion exam, reporters, and even people at the airport.

A hundred?

No.

Including the spectators, it looks like it could be in the thousands.

“Hunter Park Min-ho! You’ve set a new record for the Tower of Chaos!”

“Please share your thoughts on bringing honor to the country!”

“Please tell us the secret to clearing all of the Tower of Chaos!”

Reporters raised their voices from here and there.

“One, two, three!”

“Milky-white Park Min-ho!!!”

“One, two, three!”

“Sparkling! Knight of White Light!”

The fan club members had even created chants and were shouting them.

The numbers had more than doubled since the last promotion exam.

“Hahahaha! Look at this, mage.”

“Hmph. Whatever.”

“Why don’t you just honestly say you’re envious?”

“Ridiculous. Who said I’m envious?”

The answer was written all over his expression, but I didn’t bother pointing it out.

It was the moment when winner and loser were divided.

But anyway.

Mom didn’t come today too, did she?

I looked around nervously.

Oh my.

Why are you here?

I was startled when I made eye contact with someone I hadn’t expected.
