Chapter Summaries

Abel brought the Colifer Magic Tower to the Floating Fortress Base and began overseeing its installation. After learning that Abel possessed the missing tower and had killed Grand Sorceress Colifer, Grand Sorceress Cyril regarded him with new caution as the Dwarves prepared to secure the tower.

• Johnson emerged from the black hole carrying the fifty-meter-tall Magic Tower, and Abel urged it onward with the promise of an Ability Potion.
• Grand Sorceress Cyril questioned Abel about Johnson, and Abel revealed that Johnson was a Stone Giant, astonishing the Dwarves.
• Johnson carefully lowered the sixteen-story Colifer Magic Tower at the center of the Floating Fortress Base while Isaiah and the other Dwarves helped.
• Grand Sorceress Cyril recognized the Sighing Stone and realized the tower was the missing Colifer Magic Tower, then suspected Abel had killed its former owner.
• Isaiah inspected the tower, reported that its exterior and arrays were intact, and requested temporary access to the Floating Fortress Base so the Dwarves could secure it.
• Abel granted Isaiah access and climbed onto Johnson's shoulder, where Grand Sorceress Cyril joined him as work began.

Abel’s Magic Tower was fused with the Floating Fortress Base, and the Dwarves discovered a Chief Analysis Spirit and a Large Teleportation Array inside. Isaiah repaired the array, which Abel planned to keep hidden from the Wizard Guild.

• Isaiah lowered the Magic Tower onto the Floating Fortress Base, and its metal enveloped the tower’s base.
• Abel opened the Magic Tower’s permissions, allowing the Dwarves and High Wizard Cyril to inspect it.

• Abel told Isaiah to keep the repaired array out of the teleportation network, and Isaiah said he could modify its core and rename it.
• Isaiah used a drop of Tears of the Earth to repair the array, while High Wizard Cyril urged him to use only the best materials for Abel.

Lady Cali arrived at Hari Castle with fourteen elven Array Masters to help Abel, but she insulted his dwarf allies, prompting him to defend them. The groups began their visit on uneasy terms, while Cyril praised Abel’s loyalty to the Goff Family.

• Linsey told Abel that Lady Cali and fourteen elves had arrived, and Abel ordered a formal welcome with Marshall present.
• Abel and Marshall greeted Cali outside the castle, and she announced that the fourteen Array Masters had come to serve Abel.
• Cali mocked the dwarves’ abilities, so Abel refused the elves’ help unless she changed her attitude toward his dwarf brothers.
• Cali agreed to enter the castle and begin work after breakfast, while Isaiah thanked Abel for defending the dwarves.
• Batorri prepared vegetarian dishes for the elves, and Cyril praised Abel for acting like a brother of the Goff Family.

After a tense exchange, Abel hosted Lady Cali and the Elves for breakfast, then showed them Colifer Magic Tower. Lady Cali organized the Elves and Dwarves to begin refurbishing it with extraordinarily precious materials, leaving Advanced Wizard Cyril astonished at the Elf race’s generosity.

• Abel apologized to the Dwarves and rejoined the Elves for a meal prepared by Batorri.
• Lady Cali praised the dishes, asked Abel to send food to Grand Duchess Edwina, and guessed that he had used a valuable alchemical creation to produce Blue Howl Rabbit’s flavor.

• Abel led the Elves and Dwarves to Colifer Magic Tower, where Lady Cali accused him of killing Advanced Wizard Colifer, and Abel denied it.
• Lady Cali connected the repaired Advanced Teleportation Array to Anyost City and directed the teams as they began renovating the Magic Tower with rare Elven wood.
• Advanced Wizard Cyril told Abel that the Orichalcum Wood being used even for lighting arrays was exceptionally valuable.

Grand Mage Cyril returned to the Goff Family after seeing the Elves bring lavish materials to help build Abel's Magic Tower, and he and Old Goff took their contribution as an affront.

• Grand Mage Cyril teleported from Abel's estate to the Goff Family and told Old Goff that the Elves had unexpectedly arrived to help build Abel's Magic Tower.

Senior Wizard Cyril traded for materials and weapons to strengthen Abel’s Magic Tower, while the Dwarves and Elves outfitted it with lavish construction materials. The chapter left Abel’s Floating Fortress Base equipped with one hundred Small War Puppets and one hundred Repeating Strong City Ballistae, though repairs were still underway.

• Cyril delivered the puppets and ballistae to the Floating Fortress Base in exchange for Master Wine.
• Abel examined the Small War Puppets and Repeating Strong City Ballistae but left the Magic Tower’s spirits to coordinate the ongoing repairs.

Abel handed his rebuilt Magic Tower over to the Elves for arrays and decoration, then discovered the Floating Fortress Base’s crystal was a spirit like his Tower Spirit. He merged them into a stronger intelligence, leaving the puppets moving with what seemed like individual emotions.

• The Dwarf crew finished rebuilding the sixteenth floor, and the Elves took charge of inscribing arrays and decorating the Magic Tower.
• Lady Cali proposed turning the Floating Fortress Base’s empty space into a garden and objected to the Dwarf weapons spoiling the scenery.
• Abel named his Tower Spirit Flavie and ordered it to connect to the Small War Puppets, which revealed a spirit within the fortress’s crystal.
• Abel authorized Flavie and the crystal spirit to merge, and the puppets briefly went lifeless before moving again with distinct, seemingly individual behaviors.

Abel activated the ancient War Fortress’s Tower Spirit, Flavie, and discovered its hidden troop storage and rapid battle-preparation capabilities. He left for the Dark World to retrieve sculptures and fountains for the Elven Garden he was building inside the fortress.

• Abel told Flavie to hide the Small War Puppets and their Repeating Strong City Ballistae, and she stored them in the War Fortress’s Troop Storage Room.
• Abel ordered the puppets into battle-preparation status, and a hundred armed puppets emerged through pillars across the fortress in less than a second.
• Senior Sorcerer Cyril realized the Floating Fortress Base had undiscovered capabilities and decided to report his findings to his clan, while Lady Cali approved using reclaimed sculptures and fountains for the Elven Garden.
• Abel teleported to Harvest City, returned to his residence, and opened a Teleportation Gate to Rogue Encampment to find sculptures and fountains for the fortress.

Wizard Morton explained why senior wizards remained on the Holy Continent and reassured Abel that the Wizard Guild would not send him to the Orc Battlefield soon. After Wizard Morton returned to his own tower, Abel explored the new cultivation room in his Magic Tower and watched Hari Castle through its transparent walls.

• Wizard Morton explained that senior wizards on the Holy Continent were either guardians or failures, and said the Guild would wait until Willie returned and Teacher Dunn emerged from seclusion before considering Abel for the Orc Battlefield.

Abel settled into a daily routine of knight training, blacksmithing, rune practice, and fighting in the Dark World while adjusting to his new status as a Level 7 Wizard.
