Chapter 406-410

"Duck!"
"Move away from the tower!"

Boom!

The ground started to shake as a part of the seventh floor exploded.

The fancy area where the royalty, power players, and influential people were having fun was destroyed.

– Human! They all seemed to have run away! There was nobody on the seventh floor!

As Raon mentioned, the people fooling around until late at night on the seventh floor were the first to run away without even looking back as soon as they heard an explosion.

"Ha, haha-!"

Cale turned his head after hearing someone laugh.
Mage Becrock was laughing while looking at the exploding seventh floor. He started to sneer as he looked at Cale.
It was at that moment.

Baaaaang!

Someone broke through the window and burst out of the burning tenth floor.

This person was covered in black mana.
It was the Southern Alchemists' Tower's Tower Master.
No, his real title was the Southern black magic branch manager.

His alchemist robe was fluttering as dead mana surrounded him.
Becrock watched him come out before he looked toward Cale and started to speak.

"It looks like your plan was to destroy the royalty and the other high ranking people? But too bad. We evacuated them first, so it is likely that none of the royalty died."

However, Becrock could not hear a response from Cale.
Cale just quietly flew behind a knight and stood there.

Clang!

The knight took out his sword as he responded.

"It doesn't matter."

Sir Rex confidently made a proclamation as well.

"We have secured all of the secret passages from the Southern Alchemists' Tower already. I'm sure the royalty are escaping through those secret passages right now."

The tip of his sword pointed toward the Southern Tower Master.

Sir Rex. The Southern Tower Master.

Two people who were both aiming for the future of the Mogoru Empire observed each other.

"I'm sure the Tower Master appeared late because he was helping them evacuate. But those escaping royalty will probably get caught by our soldiers too."
"Do you really think that'll be the case?"

The Southern Tower Master responded in a relaxed manner.

Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep-!

A sharp noise shot out with the tower at the center.

Beeeeeeep- Beeeeeeeep-!

More sharp noises came from the forest around the Alchemists' Tower as if they were responding to the first noise.
The birds shot up into the air in shock.

– Human! It looks like the soldiers are starting to move!
'Me, me! I saw it as I shoved the merchant guild leader into the cave! The hidden troops are moving toward the tower!'
'They're not coming to the tower, they are trying to surround the soldiers from the capital! I think they are heading for the teleportation magic circle!'
'Enemies located. Death. Chaos. Rain down destruction! Kahahaha!'

The hidden enemies started to move.
At that moment.

"Surround them!"

The Southern Tower Master gave the order.
