Became the Weapon Monopolist of the Gods-Chapter 93: Black Tower (1)

After a late breakfast, I stopped by the store.

They say that I no longer have to worry about money thanks to the ‘Magu’ sale, but I had no intention of closing down the store.

Collecting relics from the past was one of my few hobbies.

─ Napoleon’s hat

─ Silver bracelet of an unknown magician

─ Cursed doll from room 406

─ Goggles of vision

─ Glass cup of an unknown priest

.

.

.

The relics and magic tools I got from the gate decorated the store.

Above all, my customers were not only ‘hunters’.

Sometimes, special customers called ‘transcendents’ visited the store.

That’s how I spent my time sitting at the counter of the store where only flies were flying.

Weeeeeeeing─

The phone in my pocket rang.

The name that appeared on the screen was Kim Ha-yoon.

This was the first time I had contacted you since I last saw you at Sultan’s Magic Mirror.

“Yes, Ha-yoon. What’s going on?”

─ Seo-jun, it’s been a while. I’m contacting you because I have something to ask you.

“Go ahead.”

─ Excuse me, but how will your relationship with the saint be?

‘It’s like this after all.’

I felt like it was meant to be.

In fact, I felt it was late.

Kim Ha-yoon saw me hanging out with Jeanne at Sultan’s Magic Mirror.

Since Kim Ha-yoon was one of the few people who knew that I was a connector, it was natural for her to be curious about my relationship with Jeanne.

‘I can’t keep hiding it.’

I glanced at Jeanne, who was wiping the artifacts of the store with a handkerchief.

My relationship with Jeanne... ... .

It was something I had never thought deeply about.

But I could say this one thing for sure.

“She’s important to me.”

To me, Jeanne wasn’t a simple existence that could be defined as a summoner and summoned.

Jeanne was too precious to me for that to be the case.

I couldn’t even imagine my daily life without Jeanne.

─... Oh! That’s what happened.

Kim Ha-yoon wasn’t that surprised. It felt like she had heard the answer she expected.

It wasn’t that hard to infer the relationship between ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) Jeanne and me.

“Since we’re on the subject, can I get you two clean phones?”

─ Clean phones?

“Yes. The saint, so I have one more person I need to give Jeanne and Vanessa.”

While I was at it, I asked Kim Ha-yoon to make cell phones for Jeanne and Vanessa.

Even though they had been in this world for quite some time, they still didn’t even have personal cell phones.

They couldn’t make cell phones because their identities were unclear.

Even the cell phone that Vanessa took with her when she went to negotiate with the Orthodox Church was mine.

However, it was possible to make a ‘clean phone’.

Hunters on secret missions used anonymous phones, or ‘clean phones’, that are not identifiable.

─ Of course I should make something like that for you. I’ll send it to your house tomorrow. Or would you like to come pick it up at the office today?

“I’ll pick it up at your house. And there’s one thing I want to ask you.”

─ Go ahead.

After finishing the cell phone story, I asked Kim Ha-yoon about the ‘black tower.’

The information I know from the constellation of dawn would be more accurate than the information floating around on the internet from unknown sources.

“I heard that a dream horse appears in the black tower. Is that true?”

─ Black tower? Yes. I know that a dream horse appears. Is Seo-jun also planning to go to the black tower?

“Yes. I heard that the tower has good rewards, so I was interested.”

The reward for conquering the Black Tower was a whopping ‘Transcendent Fragment’.

There was no reason to refuse since the reward was something that would only come out after going through 5 gates.

However, Kim Ha-yoon responded negatively to my answer.

─I see, the tower does have good rewards. But you should be careful.

“Why?”

─It’s been a week since Samdocheon said they would conquer the Black Tower, but they haven’t succeeded. They say that the power of the dream demon that comes out of it is beyond imagination.

Samdocheon is a large guild led by the black witch Baek Seo-rin, and it was the guild I was a member of at one time.

If they’re having trouble even in such a large guild, then it means that the power of the dream demon is beyond imagination.

However, Kim Ha-yoon’s words made me decide to enter the Black Tower.

If it was certain that the monster coming out of the Black Tower was ‘Mongma’, then it was an absolutely advantageous environment for me, who was holding the Bow of Artemis.

‘I have the ticket, so I don’t need to go all the way to Incheon.’

I was thinking that when I finished my call with Kim Ha-yoon. Jeanne approached me.

“Jeanne?”

“Seo-jun, can you give me your wrist?”

“?”

I held out my right arm to Jeanne, feeling puzzled.

Then.

Click─

A silver bracelet was attached to my wrist like a pair of handcuffs.

Jeanne wore the same silver bracelet on her wrist.

[Silver Bracelet of a Nameless Wizard]

Artifact Grade: Normal

─ Even if the wearers are apart, they can know each other’s location.

The silver bracelet was an artifact from my shop.

The relic is not very efficient because the distance to check the location is not that long.

Wooooong─

It was a simple bracelet, but when Jeanne's power was added to it, the story changed.

[Saint Jeanne's Silver Bracelet]

Relic Grade: Rare

─ The wearers can know each other's location even if they are far apart.

"This way, even if we get separated, I will be able to find Seojun. I don't have to tie a ribbon every time."

In order to receive Jeanne's long-distance support, I had to receive her belongings every time.

With this silver bracelet, I didn't have to do that anymore.

For some reason, this silver bracelet felt like a restraint... ... .

"Thank you, Jeanne."

I didn't hate it.

It was the first gift I received from Jeanne.

"Jeanne, do you have mine?"

"Oh, I have Vanessa's too."

Jeanne also gave a silver bracelet to Vanessa, who had come out before she knew it.

There were two sets of silver bracelets.

Vanessa smiled brightly, as if she liked the silver bracelets.

I watched her and turned the sign at the store’s door to [CLOSE].

Today was the day we were going to climb the ‘Black Tower.’

“Are you both ready?”

“Yes, you can come in anytime.”

“Me too.”

“Then I’ll go.”

Seeing the two of them ready, I used the Black Tower entrance ticket.

─ Entering the Black Tower using the entrance ticket.

Hwaaaat!

The scenery changed as the light burst.

The store disappeared and a foggy grass park appeared.

Although it was called a ‘tower,’ the scenery inside the gate was like this, so I couldn’t tell what would unfold.

“The fog is thick, so I have to be careful.”

As I was walking, saying that, I suddenly stopped.

“Vanessa? Jeanne?”

I looked around and the two people were nowhere to be seen.

‘Did it randomly transfer?’

I was flustered by the unexpected event, but fortunately, I had the ‘silver bracelet’ that Jeanne had given me before I came.

Woo-woong─

I walked in the direction where the bracelet’s resonance was strongly felt.

There were many people collapsed in the fog park.

They were all hunters who had come to attack the Black Tower, but they were all asleep, and the vines were entangling their bodies.

[Artemis’s Bow awakens.]

─ The pure guardian drives away the ‘empty dream.’

The fog that had surrounded me was pushed away by the moonlight flowing through Artemis’ Bow.

‘Did everyone fall asleep because of this fog?’

Mongma is a monster that controls ‘dreams.’

The guy spread fog in the park and made the hunters fall into a dream.

Fortunately, the hunters didn’t look bad.

Their faces were filled with happiness as if they were having a sweet dream.

It probably wouldn’t be easy to wake up from a dream unless they caught a ‘dream horse’.

Wooooong─

As I went in the direction where the silver bracelet resonated, Vanessa was standing there.

“Vanessa?”

There was no answer, so I went closer and saw that she had her eyes closed.

“Hehe, Eungong. I need to measure your measurements, so please stay still. It’s dangerous to move.”

Shudder.

I paused for a moment as I felt a chill.

‘What are you dreaming of?’

I was curious, but waking her up was the priority, so I shook Vanessa's shoulder.

"Vanessa."

"Yes, Eun-gong. Stay still..."

Vanessa opened her eyes.

"Eun-gong?"

"Yes."

"This is..."

Vanessa looked around and came to her senses.

"I guess I fell asleep."

"Yes, it seems to be the power of the dream horse."

"It's too bad it was a dream."

"......."

I didn't have the heart to ask Vanessa, who was feeling sorry, what kind of dream she had.

I felt like I shouldn't hear it.

"Let's go find Jeanne."

"Yes."

We were finally able to find Jeanne after going around the park.

Jeanne was buried, leaning against the fence where the shrubs had grown.

Ss ... Jeanne, who realized the situation late, blushed as she remembered something.

I felt awkward for no reason and walked first.

“Ahem, let’s go.”

As we walked along the path between the grass, the fog cleared and the end of the park came into view.

Outside the park, there were stone walls stacked in layers, and there were stairs leading up to a central entrance.

“I guess this is the entrance to the upper floors.”

“I think so.”

We walked toward the stairs.

As we took our first steps on the stairs.

─ We entered the nightmare chamber.

─ Trauma unfolded.

Our vision darkened and darkness spread.
