Stuck in The Tower Chapter 523

Chapter 523 Where is the Rift?

The place to celebrate Shile’s appointment as the master of the Mage has frozen.

The situation where each of them took out their weapons. It was a situation where a single lift of a finger would lead to a battle.

“Hahahahaha! What a feat!”

“I’ve heard the original story, but it’s not normal.”

The atmosphere was broken by the emperor bursting into laughter.

The knights didn’t know what to do with their voices bursting with laughter, and the priests also noticed the reaction of the Pope who laughed at the same time.

Shile was embarrassed and covered his face, but I decided to go out boldly.

“Think of it as a compliment.”

“Please shut up.”

It can’t be.

Depending on the situation, I was even thinking about showing off my skills, but I’m grateful if they come out like this.

The emperor and the pope, who had been laughing for a long time, stopped laughing and looked serious.

“It’s an interesting story. yes that is correct Didn’t we have a common goal?”

“It is a word that penetrates the essence. We were doing a skit.”

When the situation became like this, the knights and church members also put their weapons in with a look of disdain.

The owner they follow comes out like this, and it would be funny to see them get angry.

It seems that the atmosphere has been captured.

“Yes, I admit it honestly. Having a spy in the Mage Tower means we’re not safe.”

“Even now, we are still holding on to defectors and heretics. I don’t know how far I’ve come, but I won’t write it down.”

I didn’t know how to admit it so easily, but it was also a testament to the seriousness of the situation.

In the first place, the strategy of the demons was that way. Didn’t the demons we met in the first chapter were also plotting to occupy the territory?

Swoop. The emperor puts his elbows on the table.

“So what do you want to say?”

“You should be well aware that a new prophecy came out this time. You must have recognized that the decisive battle you had been putting off for so long was right around the corner.”

“It’s a decisive battle…”

“Incidentally, the exact time of Herelda’s prophecy is unknown. But this time, there were a few clues to infer the time. a week at most. According to my interpretation, yes.”

Shile, who came to his senses, helped.

It is none other than the testimony of a dream interpreter. Since she was the one who materialized all the prophecies that Herelda had made so far, her reliability was clear, so even the emperor and the pope could not hear about it.

“good night. Regardless of the timing, what is the point of using an inside spy?”

“Nothing. After finding the place where Daybond will appear faster than they do, we will send our troops to another place.”

“They’re trying to trick their eyes by sending troops to the wrong place. I’m afraid it’s not a bad method or too shallow.”

The Pope’s concerns are valid.

send troops? Anyone could think of such a trick, and it was also something that the enemies could be wary of.

There is a possibility that it will not even show through the halfway troop movement.

but.

“Me and Pavant will be the bait.”

If I move myself, the story is different.

For the worshipers, my presence is a thorn in the eye. Because it was an existence that I definitely wanted to punish.

Besides, Pavant, a traitor to the demons, is with you?

‘There is a high possibility that attention will be focused on our side.’

It’s not conceit. Because there is a fundamental difference here.

There are a lot of worshipers mixed in the warlock group. To them, this world is just a reproduced fake world, and the emperor or the pope is just a puppet made by the system.

But what about me?

go climbing He is someone who will definitely rise to the top, and someone who has potential enough to be wary of them.

Some might call it conceit, but it was true.

There are hunters who have climbed higher than me. Even if the number is small, it is an obvious fact. Still, the worshipers pay more attention to me.

Because I have done a lot of damage to them? There may be that, but their purpose is to destroy the world by knocking down the climbers who are going up.

Only then will the tower continue to exist and move on to the next world.

Yes.

‘To me, it’s possible to go up to the 100th floor and completely clear a tower.’

It’s a guess.

The way to get out of the tower is to consume all the coins or clear the 100th floor.

It’s as simple as I told you when I first entered the tower, although the process is by no means simple.

If there was no change in the tower even after reaching the 100th floor, why would the worshipers interfere?

Why did the heroes, who have now become fragments of chaos, take on the challenge even though they knew that if it was impossible to clear the 100th floor, it would be a disaster that could destroy the world they belonged to?

‘I’ll be able to get rid of the tower, or at least have it stop functioning for a while.’

I don’t know if all worshipers are like that, but worshipers dream of eternal life.

As long as you don’t get caught up in something stupid and die, as long as the tower exists, you can live here forever.

It doesn’t matter if this is a happy life. It is important to be able to live real eternal life, not just eternal life.

It was also the reason I was able to enlist other NPCs or climbers right away.

But to me it means nothing. Not only did I have no intention of living in this damn tower forever, I just wanted to go out and live a decent life.

Above all, because of infinite coins, you have to clear the 100th floor unconditionally to go outside.

Remembrance. I put my hand on the table.

“There must be a lot of people who have doubts. There are several candidates for the hero, including me. The same goes for Shile, who became the owner of the newly collapsed magic tower, and the holder of the holy sword I met before. Some are dead, but there are definitely some who are alive, and there is one more person besides the ones I just mentioned.”

Being a candidate for a hero has the title of being the hope of the world.

It can be a sense of mission in itself, and it also has great honor. Not to mention that it has a huge impact on its own.

A Bekal that I ran into on the way to meet Shile Pavant. Finally, there is one person from a criminal background.

Other than that, all who were heard as candidates died.

In a way, it is natural to be a candidate for a hero, so there are honor, power, other money, and other benefits, but on the contrary, there are many responsibilities that must be shouldered.

That you have to enter a place that is more dangerous than anyone else and win. The hope of mankind meant that.

I was just moving for the climb, but not everyone else thought the same.

The important thing is that they have the same goals as me.

I raised my finger.

“There are a total of four candidates. Among them, the possibility is divided into two places.”

“That is correct. Verification work remains, but that’s it.”

“It’s a top secret, but I know it well. It must have been the story of the newly installed Mage Tower Master. I admire the trust you two have.”

A situation where the candidates have been narrowed down to 4. Among them, 2 are promising.

Looking at the speed shown so far, it seems that this place will also decrease further. It will take more time for results to come out.

“I will move right now. That way you can fool the enemy’s eyes.”

I immediately remembered moving.

A situation where the spy is already inside. Move here to avoid enemy suspicion.

It could be seen as an action that was left to chance.

“Even if it’s not me, there’s no problem dealing with Day Bond.”

I don’t have to do everything on my own.

I have members, and even if they are not members, there are other high-ranking hunters, and even if they are not, there are empires and churches including Shile.

Rather, what I’m worried about…

‘Hopegrama said. He said he had encountered fragments of chaos from another dimension.’

The last dragon in this world was thrown into chaos. And what prevented him from crossing over here.

I also found this important.

‘I blocked it too easily.’

Maybe this is normal difficulty. It’s because it’s not balanced for fragments of chaos to come to the fore on the 80th floor.

Even so, it’s a suspicious situation that I don’t see.

It may have felt that way because it was the first time he had experienced the giant world. Unlike the world of the 80th floor that I have been through so far, this place is not a place where the racial value is high.

That there is a relative part. The threat felt by the giant world and the crisis felt by the spirit world.

And the pressure humanity must have felt is relatively different. In the first place, the appearance of gates and monsters in the preceding two worlds did not pose a particular threat.

Don’t fall into the trap.

Up to the 80th floor.

‘A world trying to escape from destruction.’

The theme is a world where there was a possibility of escaping from destruction, regardless of the level of actual threat.

I was focused.

The threats I know and the real threats the world feels.

The boundary line that will be in between and the range that can correspond.

“Our threats are twofold. Not a tower worshiper. A group of black magicians and demons. Daybond, the leader of the demons. Stopping these guys is the priority.”

Fragments of chaos and all that are incidental. Let’s not forget this.

If you don’t know what to do, start with what you can see.

A simple proposition indeed, and a way out of the pitfalls of experience.

I’m the one who’s already got all the chaos levels I need to get, and I’m not the only one who can stop Daybond.

then you must believe

That they can do it enough. That they can find a solution in an unexpected variable.

“Call the warrior candidates. Others will move too. If you distribute it evenly, you can do it. Because I have the ability to do that.”

I didn’t say who exactly.

but.

“If a greater danger comes along than we thought, then I will stop it.”

Because I already have experience blocking it.

At least at this point, I don’t think there are many people who have encountered more fragments of chaos than me while climbing the tower.

So…

“All you have to do is let me know. I will deal with enemies that I can’t handle more than Day Bond.”

Even if that means death as collateral.

* * *

The northern hills of the Empire.

I stood there and sipped my tea.

The culture here is secretly fond of tea. The taste wasn’t bad either, so I started to enjoy it.

All I could see in front of me was a snowy mountain that had begun to melt and the corpses of monsters dried up like mummies.

“Is this correct?”

“I don’t know. I know I have to see.”

The one next to me was Nyanpun.

There are a total of 4 areas where Daybond can be summoned.

It was difficult to cover everything with our limited forces, and Nyang-Fen and I moved to the least likely places.

The other three areas were decided to be taken care of by the top hunters of Lick and Hair Lossman respectively.

“Aww. Why am I here!”

“I have to do it because I want to do it. Would you like to make a name for yourself in the empire?”

“Hey hey! Eight! This is right!”

“it hurts! evil!”

Nyangfun, who helped stop the demons and warlocks in the empire, decided to join me.

It’s not because there’s no other reason, it’s because one of the targets the enemies want to kill the most is Nyangpun.

He said that he put safety first, and he seems to have attached to the empire and assisted from behind, but as a result, the warlock’s blow was enormous.

At the point of moving with me in the first place, it was also a priority for the worshipers to assassinate.

‘I don’t know what the other guys are like.’

Oh Ji-hyeok and Kim So-dam were on the lick side, and Shile and Pavant were on the hair loss man side.

The lava fairy, muscle fairy Kim Seo-gyun, and other top hunters were camped out in the remaining candidate areas.

The Empire and the Church are looking for the timing to send troops to where Daybond will appear while saving power.

‘Is it starting soon?’

The time Shile expected is getting closer.

I checked the communication port. They decided to share the situation through each communication port. Because if there is no problem where you are located, you decided to support the other side.

-Guuuuuuuuu

“Come.”

I finished talking briefly and glared at the front.

The flow of mana and demonic energy that surrounds it is also getting rougher.

what will come out I was a little nervous and looked straight ahead.

– Beep beep beep!

At the same time, the communication port emits light and noise.

It must be a sign that something has changed. Even so, Nyampun and I couldn’t take our eyes off the front.

“…no.”

“I wonder what this is!”

Dimensional cracks were appearing here as well.
