Chapter 311: The Next World (1)
The change in the Magic Tower’s first spire happened just as the sun was coming up. The earth was still dark and quiet. The Gray Spider, who had spent the night with me, pricked up her ears. Because it was so quiet, I could hear even that small gesture of hers.
She narrowed her eyes and looked at the tower. “Hmmm, it seems someone’s calling.”
“Yes?”
“Is it me...? No, it’s you they’re calling, Death King.”
“Who is it?”
I followed her gaze and looked at the tower. The massive metal gate was still shut. There was no sign of anyone, no sound either. Uburka had gone inside there to get the witches to surrender, but there was no sign of him. Nor were there any Spiders who had decided to show up.
I tilted my head, confused. “I don’t see anyone.”
“She’s outside the door on her own. I’m not sure what you can do. When you fought me, you probably only used a fraction of your true power, but it’s the same for me. Do you think you know all about the Magic Tower’s millennium history?”
I nodded and stood up. “I see. You’re right. It wouldn’t be surprising if a Spider could make her body transparent and erase her presence.”
“The good thing about you is that it’s easy to talk to you.”
“I’ll be off now. Do you have anything you want me to pass on?”
“Thank you for staying in the tower. I’m really annoyed by those traitors, but let’s curse those bastards outside instead.”
