“Locus alloy?”
The word flowed out of Minhyuk’s mouth without him realizing it.
Then the man said.
“The young friend has good taste. That’s right! Jim’s shield is a treasure made by the blacksmith god Locus using the strongest metal in the world!”
Minhyuk’s eyes sparkled.
I wanted to snatch that shield from him, throw it in the refrigerator, and check what it would turn into.
If it turns into something easy to stockpile, I can get as much rocus alloy as I want in the future.
As the strongest metal in the world, it can be used to make not only cold weapons such as swords and bows, but also high-performance firearms, opening up new horizons in the production of weapons and armor.
Perhaps, the rocus alloy cannot be processed in the usual metalworking way.
Since it is the strongest metal in the world, it would be difficult to cut or forge, and it would be difficult to cast because it does not melt easily.
However, once we secure the most important material, we will be able to figure out the processing method in some way or another later.
“I’m tempted by Jim’s shield. But what can I do? Even if I knock Jim down, I won’t be able to get my hands on the shield.”
So far, the slaves of the Demon Tower that Minhyuk had faced have all turned into dust and scattered the moment they were defeated in battle.
And the armor and weapons they were wearing also disappeared with them.
So if you defeat the owner of the shield, the shield will also disappear.
‘If you can’t knock it down and take it away…’
It was possible to incapacitate him without knocking him down and take the shield.
If I quickly put the shield I took in the refrigerator and check what it turns into, it would be a success.
Pot-
Light burst from Minhyuk’s greatsword.
The magic power stored in the mana stone was transferred to the greatsword.
At the same time, the broken and flying blade flew back and attached itself.
He used the automatic repair magic that was embedded in the greatsword.
The man who watched the scene said.
“Your sword was no ordinary thing. However, with a sword made from a dragon’s bone, you will never be able to withstand Jim’s shield, no matter how many times you try!”
Wheeing-
This time, the man rushed towards Minhyuk first.
He thrust his shield forcefully toward Minhyuk.
Pang!
A strong shockwave was released from the shield.
The wave magic embedded in the shield was activated.
It was a shockwave strong enough to blow away something as big as an elephant.
However, Minhyuk was not pushed back even a little.
The man was startled and muttered.
“Afterimage?”
What stood before the man’s eyes was not Minhyuk’s real body.
It was an afterimage left by Minhyuk as he unfolded his swordsmanship.
The real body was moving at a tremendous speed and had already dug into the man’s side.
The man quickly tried to turn the direction of the shield towards Minhyuk, but it was too late.
Puck-
The greatsword that Minhyuk swung cut through the shoulder of the man holding the shield.
Thud-
The shield fell to the ground along with one of the man’s arms.
At the same time, Minhyuk kicked the man in the abdomen.
Roll-roll-
The man flew and rolled on the ground in the distance.
Meanwhile, Minhyuk quickly picked up the shield.
Now, all he had to do was put it in the refrigerator.
However,
Swish-
The moment the shield touched Minhyuk’s hand, it turned into dust and scattered.
Chuckle-
The man laughed.
The shield that had disappeared was now back in his hand.
His severed arm had also been restored.
“The day Jim died in the tower, Jim’s shield also became part of the tower. In the tower, the master of the tower is God! The rules he establishes are the laws of the universe. That’s why no one can touch the property of the tower without his permission.”
The man was once a guest who had climbed the tower.
However, he was defeated in the process of obtaining the Northcore and became a slave of the tower.
“By the way, your martial arts are quite exquisite.”
The man showed interest in Minhyuk’s swordsmanship.
“Who is your teacher?”
“Drake.”
Minhyuk answered truthfully.
When he changed his mind, he realized there was another way to obtain the Rocus alloy.
He could ask the man how he obtained the shield.
Perhaps he could get a clue on how to obtain other equipment made of Rocus alloy.
It didn’t matter whether it was a dagger or an arrowhead.
As long as he could get his hands on even a small amount of Rocus alloy, he could use the refrigerator to obtain an infinite supply.
“Drake, it’s the first time I’ve heard that name. Anyway, it’s excellent swordsmanship.”
“Who are you?”
“Jim is the king of Kuron. No, I was the king. It’s been hundreds of years since I left the kingdom.”
Asdel, Melbeck, and Silphir were located in the eastern part of the Rania continent.
There were three countries in the central part of the continent, and one of them was Kuron.
Minhyuk knew this much because he had studied the history of the Rania continent.
“I heard that the Rocus forge is located at the western end of the continent, but it’s very far from Kuron, so how did you get your hands on the shield?”
“You know about the Rocus forge too? You’re quite knowledgeable, young man.”
“I’m not that knowledgeable. I’m just very interested in Rocus alloy.”
“You’re interested in the material, not the shield. In that case, I have some information that will interest you.”
Minhyuk listened to the man’s words.
“There’s a sword that I used in the Kuron royal palace. That sword is also a treasure of the kingdom made by Rocus, the god of blacksmiths.”
“Then the material of that sword is also…”
“Of course, it’s Rocus alloy.”
In order to complete the unification, he would one day conquer the Kuron fortress.
If the man’s words were true, he would be able to get his hands on a sword made of Rocus alloy at that time.
However, there was something a little strange.
“Why did you leave such a fine sword behind when you came here?”
“Well… there were circumstances. Too manly to tell others…”
King Kuron had a queen who cherished him dearly.
She always worried about the king who enjoyed adventures and battles.
One day, the king declared that he would climb the Magic Tower.
Worried about her husband, the queen hid his sword so that he wouldn’t be able to leave.
However, the king, angered by his wife’s actions, climbed the Magic Tower with only his shield.
And he died inside the Magic Tower.
“Since the queen hid it, it must be somewhere in the palace.”

The man, who had finished talking about the Roccus Alloy, said to Minhyuk while picking up his shield again.
“I gave you good information, so shouldn’t you pay the price?”
Minhyuk nodded.
“Come at me with all your might. I won’t be as easy to beat as before.”
The man, who had loved battles even when he was alive, was thrilled to finally meet a strong opponent.
Minhyuk raised his greatsword.
And once again, he displayed his swordsmanship, aiming for the man’s weak points.
The man realized his defeat and opened his mouth.
“That’s really good movement!”
Slash-
This time, Minhyuk’s greatsword cut the man’s neck, not his shoulder.
Thud-
The man’s head fell to the ground.
And then,
Rustle-
It turned into dust and scattered.
His body and the shield he was holding also disappeared.
All that remained where the man had completely vanished was a Noseco.
＜Discovered Noseco of Telekinesis.＞
＜Unfolding the Noseco will allow you to learn Telekinesis.＞
This Noseco contained a spell that allowed one to move objects without touching them.
Minhyuk put the Noseco in the refrigerator to check what it would change into.
The Noseco of Telekinesis was a non-contact thermometer.
After checking the manufacturer and model number, he returned to the Magic Tower.
Rumble-
He unfolded the Noseco.
＜Learned Telekinesis.＞
Minhyuk looked at the pebble lying nearby.
As he imagined it floating up,
Thump-
The pebble floated into the air.
By spending mana, I became able to move objects I could see at will.
It didn’t take much mana to move light objects, but more mana was needed to move heavier objects.
In any case, it was an ability that I could utilize in many useful ways.
‘Next floor, let’s go!’
Minhyuk moved to the next location marked on the map.
.
.
.
Without any trouble, I obtained all the North Cores on the 4th floor.
And then I moved to the 5th floor through the teleportation portal installed on the 4th floor.
Since the highest floor of the Magic Tower was the 9th floor, I had climbed more than halfway.
‘Let’s clear this quickly and go outside.’
I had a lot to do once I got out of the Magic Tower.
I had to hunt dragons to obtain the Mana Stones, and I had to go to the Cron Castle and find the sword made from the Lokus Alloy.
If I had to put them in order, obtaining the Lokus Alloy came first.
If I made a strong weapon with the Lokus Alloy, hunting dragons would become much easier.
‘By the way.’
Unlike the other floors so far, the 5th floor was very dark.
There was no fake sky.
The pink potion in Charon’s potion pouch was automatically injected into Minhyuk’s body.
Then I was able to see in the darkness.
Minhyuk was now standing in a giant cave.
I took out the map and checked it.
Unlike the other floors, the 5th floor didn’t give you the freedom to move around.
From the 1st to the 4th floor, you could give up on some of the North Cores and just go up to the next floor.
Of course, Minhyuk collected all the North Cores.
However, on the 5th floor, you had to move along the cave.
The locations of the North Cores were arranged in a straight line.
And only after reaching the end of the cave could you go up to the 6th floor.
Swoosh-
Minhyuk flew along the cave.
And one after another, he knocked down the slaves of the Magic Tower that appeared and secured the North Cores.
When he reached the middle of the map,
Thud-
A translucent, red curtain blocked Minhyuk’s path.
It was a magic barrier that objects could not pass through.
He had to destroy the barrier to move to the next location.
Clang-
Minhyuk swung his greatsword at the barrier.
But it didn’t budge.
Bang-
Boom-
Crash-
Despite being shot by machine guns and struck by a barrage of magic, including flames, ice, and lightning, the barrier remained intact.
‘How on earth am I supposed to get through this?’
This was the first obstacle he had encountered since entering the Magic Tower.
The climb, which he had expected to be over quickly, had come to a halt on the fifth floor.
‘Could it be some kind of puzzle?’
There had to be a way to get through.
Minhyuk stopped attacking the barrier and began to carefully examine his surroundings.
Magic diagrams were drawn on the floor, and murals were carved into the cave walls.
As he examined them closely,
Thud-thud-thud-
Someone approached Minhyuk from behind.
Clang-
Minhyuk quickly aimed his Gatling gun at the unidentified figure.
A message then appeared before his eyes.
＜A Huran has been detected.＞
＜Killing a Huran will earn you 10 seconds of Return Time.＞
The being that was now approaching Minhyuk was not a slave of the Magic Tower.
Nor was it a human.
The continent of Rania was inhabited by several races that resembled humans.
Dwarves, elves, Kunas, and so on.
This was one of them: a Huran.
Hurans had faces that resembled those of feline predators.
Of the Earth’s animals, they most closely resembled leopards.
However, only their heads had the form of beasts; they walked upright like humans and could speak languages.
They also wore clothes.
Minhyuk had learned about the Hurans from Professor Raymond.
However, this was the first time he had ever seen one in person.
There were said to be two guests inside the Magic Tower besides Minhyuk: one was a Wyvern, and the other was a Huran.
The male Huran raised both hands above his head and shouted to Minhyuk.
“Do not attack! I have no intention of fighting you.”
Still, Minhyuk did not lower his guard.
He kept his machine gun trained on the Huran.
The Huran stopped walking and continued speaking.
“I have waited five years for someone to come. You will never be able to break that barrier on your own. So let us cooperate.”
