The Tower of Magic was adjacent to the Tower of History; It took the shape of an inclined golden spire, over six hundred meters in height and thirty meters in width, making it the third largest structure in the City of Scholars. Equipped with the shallow mask provided by Tanna, Bin swiftly made his way to the tower, but he did not rely on stealth like his previous endeavour in one of the smaller golden towers.The anti-magic armor set they needed to complete the Blade of Light was stored in the Tower of Magic, and trying to sneak in by imitating the Mana Frequency will not only be a waste of time but also pointless. After all, the tower was heavily guarded from all sides, by automated defensive golems and several hired magic-users. The fastest and most effective approach is a direct confr

High Scholar Sander Zadar had barged into Elmina’s office and started throwing a furious tantrum. Just a couple of hours ago, a masked individual had broken into the Tower of Magic and stole his finest product while it was under the surveillance of multiple advanced golems and magic-users.   “Why are you not sending people after him? This is ridiculous!”   The elderly long-bearded High Scholar banged his shaking fist on the table, but that didn’t even make Elmina flinch. She coldly stared back at him and patiently waited till he calmed down.   “Sander, we have sent our best people after him. We can only wait and hope for the best.”   “What do you mean ‘hope for the best’?! How can he even break into the Tower in the

“L-let’s rest… I’m not used to walking for this long.” It soon came to light that Lenna was not an athletic person. He would quickly run out of breath even from walking for a short while. Arbert, however, was as energetic as before, going as far as taking his friend’s backpack from him. They had bet on who would carry it and Lenna lost, but since it was moderately heavy, the bespectacled young scholar was unable to travel long distances without needed rest. Surprisingly, Bin was cooperative and did not complain about their slow pace. He was their vanguard and would sometimes scout ahead and get rid of any Pests roaming the area. The Ghost Cliffs were not that far from the City of Scholars and even with their current speed, they would reac

Opposite to the startled ruffians in the tavern, Bin immediately sprung into action. His body transformed into particles of light, which slipped through the small holes riddling the wooden wall. He quickly appeared at the main street of the town and witnessed a scary scene. The hideous Pests were everywhere, swinging their nasty weapons and slaughtering everyone in their way. Although there were a couple of brave souls that tried to fight back, they were no match against the powerful abominations. Bin’s body burst with blinding light, which sent a strong shock wave that blew away the nearby monsters and burned their skin. Long spikes of sand surged from the ground, impaling any charging enemy. Bin advanced slowly, eradicating every Pest in his path, however, he soon re

“The place is crawling with Pests, you can’t be meaning to force your way… r-right?”   Arbert anxiously looked at the stoic Bin and spoke with a stuttering voice. Despite steeling his will and trying to learn Magic, Arbert was still afraid of the Pests, especially their ungodly appearance.   “Of course not. Attracting their attention will only lead more of them.”   Bin sighed and inspected the vicinity of the vast region. The Five Elemental Peaks around the Ghost Cliffs were embedded with colored hues, distinct from each other and clear even with all the violent Demon Energy lingering in the air. However, two of the Elemental Peaks, the ones with a red and blue hues, were slightly dim.   “I count no less than twelve
