Emperor of Steel Chapter 289

Chapter 289
After gathering all the offerings which Sebastian and Belfair had bought, Luke took them and headed to the north .
At first, he thought that he should head over to the capital, Nemesis, but the location turned over to the Veritas Town, which was above it .
“Master, isn’t this where the veritas magic tower is located?”
“Don’t tell me that you are planning to summon a higher demon in here?”
Luke replied to the demon’s question in a nonchalant manner .
“Yeah, I think that this will be a great gift for them . ”
“Ugh! Then the capital will be overturned?”
“Hu hu hu hu . That is why the summoning is happening . ”
Last time, he had been informed by Johas that Veritas magic tower was sending out enormous quantities of food and magical materials .
Thus, Luke too gathered relevant information for several days with the help of Argos but was unable to trace the whereabouts .
‘I don’t know what they are up to, but I am not going to leave them alone . ’
So, what he thought was, to give a huge blow to the veritas magic tower so that it wouldn’t be in a position to provide materials and food .
Moreover, it was just a few days since she learned of the reality of the curse on his body, so he had no intention of leaving them alone .
“Even if it is a Veritas Magic tower, they need to be prepared to deal with the higher demons . And the bonus will be the damage to the Imperial family . ”
When a high ranking demon was summoned in the northern part of the capital, the Knights of Guard and the Central army had to run .
Since they were the representatives of the Imperial forces .
“Oh ho, you are aiming for two birds with one stone, such a dangerous man!”
“And not just that, considering the cause of the Battle of Magic towers, Veritas Magic tower will be properly branded with this incident . ”
Since the Veritas Magic tower had been suspected to have been practicing dark magic .
What would happen if demons were summoned in such a situation?
Many people would be convinced that the Veritas magic tower was indeed sheltering warlocks .

“And the reputation of the Baroque Imperials who for long had great relationships with them will also fail . ”
“But I wonder if things will head the way that you want?”
Belfair had a good reason to be pessimistic .
Veritas Magic tower was a great magic tower which differed from the other towers, it was well bordered .
The wall surrounding the magic tower was filled with lots of border magic made by the high ranking magicians, and there were mercenaries and sorcerers standing on the borders .
Normally itself it was a steel wall, but since the initiation of the Battle of the Magic tower, they had upped the security .
“Wouldn’t it be easy to infiltrate? If we do this, there will be a lot of time to infiltrate, and if we make even a little mistake, they will all flock towards us . ”
Sebastian backed Belfair’s statement .
“Then, we can’t attempt to summon the demons . If there are traces of them, there is a chance that we will be pursued…”
“Yeah, as you said, it will be difficult . It is going to be difficult to reveal the skills . ”
In such situations, it was better to step back and watch .
The two demons judged so, but Luke just casually walked towards the main gate of Veritas Magic tower .
‘Is it a breakthrough?’
The main gate in front of his eyes looked way stronger and heavier than anything Luke had ever seen .
In addition, four Gigants were deployed and mercenaries and wizards guarded in front of the gates, which seemed uncommon .
“Master, what are you even thinking…”
“Shut up and watch out your disguises . ”
After making sure that the disguise wasn’t a problem, Luke approached the wizard guarding the front wall and spoke .
“Hello . You have worked so hard today . ”
“What is it?”
With the words from a stranger, the guard gave Luke a vigilant gaze .
“I came to find the wizard, Fabian Azar . We are cousins . Due to the Battle of the Magic tower was concerned…”
“Enough . I’ll check it out so wait . ”
The wizard broke the flow of Luke’s words .
After some time, the man came back, but contrary to the concern of Luke’s demons, he let them in .

“Fabian asked for you to come in, saying that you were a relative . Don’t make a fuss and meet him quietly . ”
Luke nodded with a smile and stepped in .
As they passed through the main entrance, he was able to see the magnificent view of the Veritas magic tower .
‘In the past, this competed for the 1st and 2nd place . But it is still flourishing up till today . ’
Somehow a cheerful wizard came over to Luke, meeting, and talked friendlily .
“Yo, it has been a while since then! Nice to meet you!”
“Have you been well, Fabian? Oh, such a long time! Your face has shrunk . ”
Unlike Luke and Fabian who were speaking intimately, the two demons had no idea .
And then passing through a rear door, they were in an unknown situation with a huge river flowing past .
“After seeing the truth in the dark, I get to see master . ”
“Yeah, nice to meet you . ”
Fabian, changed his position and began to speak rather politely with Luke .
He was one of the disciples of Johas, who infiltrated the Veritas Magic tower .
He had been contacted by the meister a few days back and prepared in advance .
“What about the others?”
“They are preparing for the summoning . By the way, you are planning on doing something great . Since I heard that you are a Rakan’s descendant, I thought that it was unusual…”
Only a few knew the identity of Luke inside the Dark Moon . What’s more, only Johas knew of Luke’s past as Saymon .
“Why? Is it scary?”
“Hu hu hu? Why would I be? I am just looking forward to see what kind of situation will unfold . ”
Smiling a little, Fabian guided Luke’s party .
Veritas’ headquarters was huge .
The entire area, including the research facilities and workshops, experimental sites and the accommodations, the relaxations areas, was almost the size of the Imperial palace .
“There are over 500 wizards who do pure research . That is why they wouldn’t know the face of a wizard unless one is from the same job . ”
“Surely it must be like that . ”
Luke looked at the crowd passing by .
He wasn’t sure about anything else, but the size of the Veritas Magic tower was enviable .
‘This is how Katarina magic tower should have been brought up…’
While relaxing, they met a female wizard who was in a large restaurant .
A medical Mage, she too was a disciple who had been asked to infiltrate by Johas . He only contacts Fabian very rarely, so he never encountered another one .
“This is the robe of change, and this is the key to the warehouse which I borrowed today for an experimental purpose . Heath senior asked me to deliver it . ”
“What about Heath senior?”
“He is preparing to escape from a wrecked ship . Then, I should be going too . Master, I hope you have the Black Sage’s protection in the path you are heading to . ”
‘I am the very Black Sage, Saymon . ’
Instead of saying it out loud, Luke nodded and wore the robe handed over to him by the wizard .
Luke’s party was in the robe of Veritas magic tower which had its emblem printed on it, and the crowd which glanced at them till then no longer cared .
“Which side is the warehouse that you have rented?”
“It is at the end in the west of the tower . Our position in the Veritas Magic tower isn’t so high, so we weren’t able to rent anything in the central . ”
“It is alright . All I need to do is be inside the Veritas Magic tower for it to work . ”
Luke’s party, which arrived at the warehouse at the scheduled time, began to work terrifyingly at sunset .
Luke, who pulled out the materials from the subspace, along with Fabian created a summoning magic circle in the warehouse .
Meanwhile, Sebastian and Belfair took care of those approaching the warehouse, by standing on guard .
“What is with those? If they are planning on going to a date, they should go to a nice place, why come this way?”
“No matter how hard they try, it is like an affair . Taking medicine and going into the bushes . ”
It didn’t take long for Luke to finish the summoning magic circle .
When he was Saymon, he had summoned high-ranking demons and had a useful assistant named Fabian .
“Master, are you done?”
“Yes, the last thing is to welcome the demon . ”
Luke, who pulled on his sword, cut his palm and let the blood drop on the Summoning magic circle and began to memorize the spell .

Mycology
Declan was but a teenager when he was invited to Gaia. It wasn't some popular VRMMO like the ones his friend keeps recommending, nor was it a 'game' in the traditional sense.

Invited to this world by Eve, the overseer and an AI light-years greater than any that came before her, Declan was given a choice. To join or not to join? Well, why the hell not? Hello, this is a pretty basic VR story which I started writing out of boredom, don't expect anything too great here, it's a somewhat unique setting but with mostly slice of life comedy shenanigans with no real 'plot' since I can't reliably include stakes in a world where respawning is a thing. I'll try to upload at least once every other week but real life stuff may get in the way occasionally. **WARNING** Protagonist comes with an inbuilt wizard hat. Also, any mentions of chapter titles shall be met with falling rocks TPK. **ACTUAL WARNING** Story may or may not read like the fever dream of an eclectic sasquatch with internet connection.
