Episode 413. The 29th floor, the one who controls the sea (1)
The siege situation, which was 3 vs 1, quickly changed to a 2 vs 2 confrontation.
Chunk!
Jinhyeok picked up the spear that had fallen on the corpse.
[Luntar, the spear of the heavy angel ‘Hamauel’.]
Attack power: 10500
Durability: 100000 / 100000
Characteristics: It is the favorite weapon of Hamauel, one of the border guards of ‘Eden’. 2 property effects of lightning and holy power are added, and when dealing with demons, attack power increases by 50% for 5 minutes.
[It has been transformed into a sacred relic with a special method, so demons can handle it.]
Indeed…
Guntaper seems to have put a lot of effort into it.
This is because the technology that allows beings of opposite poles to use the power of the opposite force against them would have taken several years to achieve.
‘It’s definitely different from before.’
A major turning point has been brought forward.
It was because variables intervened and the gods and residents of the tower also moved quickly.
okay.
‘It’s fun like this.’
Jinhyeok smiled lightly as if he was interested.
Still, among the demon kings, Guntaper is the one who rolls the most hair, and if he didn’t come out like this, he would have been rather disappointed.
By the way…
“Should I finish it soon? I have something to say.”
Jinhyeok stretched out his spear.
“Yes. Let’s get rid of the worms first and then we’ll have a conversation.”
Beriel also covered her nails with black demonic energy.
A shadow fell on the faces of the nobles.
I don’t know if the three of us are going to face one Beriel…
In this situation, there was no chance of winning.
“Damn it…”
“Aaaaaa!”
After a short scream, all of Guntaper’s limbs that entered the territory turned into corpses.
Tuk-tuk…
Jinhyeok brushed off the dust on his body.
“I’m sorry. As soon as I came, I made you see the rough side.”
“No. It’s a place where you can get stabbed in the back of the head anytime, anywhere. It’s common sense that each person is good at guarding their bodies.”
“Hmm. It sounds like you’ve been here before.”
Beriel tilted her head.
Oops.
Involuntarily brought up the story of the past.
Jinhyeok hurriedly added his words.
“That’s what they say. It’s common knowledge that demons are insidious. Is it possible to secure a gate rather than that?”
“Fortunately, thanks to the position you held in a good position, I don’t think it will be difficult to defend. Even if I give up on other territories, I’ll relocate my troops around here.”
“Take care so as not to be noticed. Guntaper will rather smell it if it is discovered that the troops are concentrated on one side.”
“Don’t worry about that part. Even if you look at it like this, it’s a body that has been engaged in territorial wars for thousands of years.”
When it came to information manipulation and base protection, they suffered enough to break even.
The time to make basic mistakes is long gone.
“Then, from now on, as my apostles, we can defeat Guntaper together. I have prepared a room in my castle, so there will be no shortage during your stay.”
Hmm… I think I’m misunderstanding something.
“Sorry, but I have to go right away.”
“What, what?”
“The rest of the kids are going through hell right now on the 29th floor. We have to go and help before it’s too late.”
“No, then why the hell did you come here?”
“I need to check if the gate is connected well, and I want to ask some information on the other side. You know, right? What happened to the last war?”
Ragnarok was destroyed by Olympus and the Demon World.
at last.
After losing Yggdrasil, the upper gods of Ragnarok scattered and fled, and I heard that a pursuing party led by Ares is still taking care of the remnants.
‘They said that Guntaper had a means to destroy the spring water of the sun’
.
“Even in the Demon World, it was conducted in utmost secrecy, so I don’t know the exact details.
“…That’s not true.”
Is there no information either?
When Jinhyeok made a disappointed expression, Beriel shrugged.
“Still, if I have to pick one clue, it’s that four knights I’ve never seen before participated in that war. They said that each had a different colored flag.”
If it’s four knights…no way.
Undoubtedly. The
[Four Knights of the Book of Revelation]
got involved.
And the fact that they appeared…
‘That means an apocalypse scenario has been triggered.’
Assuming that, everything was right.
Jinhyuk’s eyes narrowed.
A person who can clear at least one floor in the Tower of Trials is called an ‘Apocalypse’.
There are three grades of ‘Bung-gye’, ‘Genius’ and ‘Covenant’, and Bung-gye is the end corresponding to one level.
Genius predicts the end of at least three levels, and Covenant predicts the end of the entire tower.
‘The four knights of the Book of Revelation are an apocalypse that corresponds to the realm of destruction’.
Certainly, if they had intervened to that extent, it would not have been impossible for Yggdrasil to have been destroyed.
“Judging by the look on his face, my words seem to have been of some help.”
“Yeah. It’s been incredibly helpful.”
It is the beings on the 50th floor who are in charge of the apocalypse scenario, not the managers.
And after using the first apocalypse card, certain ‘signs’ must be revealed before the apocalypse is activated.
As long as you know in advance…….
It is said that preparation is possible.
“I’ll do the details when we meet again after we’ve finished that job. It won’t take too long, so until then, just secure the gate.”
“Hmm. I understand. It’s a pity, but I can’t help it.”
“Ah! And…”
Before leaving, Jinhyeok stretched out his palm toward Beriel.
“What…?”
“What is it? To help you, I broke through the gate and took care of Remia, Guntaper’s core limb, but are you going to send me away empty-handed?”
that’s not common sense
And if you don’t keep the top coat, you may end up sticking to Guntaper.
Beriel pressed her temple with her index finger.
But the pounding head showed no signs of getting better.
“…You’re probably the only one in the world who threatens the demon lord. Whoa. So, what do you need?”
“Just get me a nice boat.”
If possible, a guy with a gun.

The 29th floor of the Tower of Trials.
Most of the stairs, except for the fortress of giants and some islands, where the ‘sea battle’ is the main stage, were made up of the huge sea.
Shoot Ah ….
Jin -hyuk, who stood at the starting point, listened to the sound of the waves.
hot sun and cool wind.
Maybe it was because I had been in the dark world of demons, but all of this felt nice.
‘Is everyone doing well?’
At first, I told them not to overdo it and focus on adapting, but I don’t know how they are doing.
Jinhyeok started walking along the shore.
‘First of all, I need to figure out what level of ships the players have.’
The condition for passing the 29th floor is to subdue the large-scale pirates residing on this floor or find treasure on the island at the bottom of the floor.
One of the two must be satisfied.
At first glance, it seemed advantageous because the players were not competing with each other.
The size of the stairs is so large, and the person who gets the various rewards first is the owner, so it won’t flow so smoothly.
Right then.
“Huh? Brother?”
“brother!”
It looked familiar.
It was Yoo Yeon-hwa and Lee Tae-min.
“Why are you guys… here?”
If a week had passed, I thought, of course, I would be much further back.
In particular, Lee Tae-min, who has the ‘Machine Lord’ ability, was an overwhelmingly advantageous position in naval battles.
“Of course I was waiting for you.”
“It’s been a long time since we’ve cooperated, but we have to come together after a long time. Look. We even built a boat among ourselves.”
Lee Tae-min and Yoo Yeon-hwa pointed to a boat on the shore.
The small ship, about 5m in size, had a fairly plausible appearance.
This… is a bit touching, isn’t it?
It is also a law that people should behave properly and be kind on a daily basis.
“Do you know how the other kids are doing?”
“Um… that’s…”
Yoo Yeon-hwa blurted out her words.
“Why, what’s going on?”
“Hyung. You know. In fact, things got a bit complicated, haha. That Yoosung hyung declared an independent action. The same goes for Elise-sister.”
Where there are no tigers, the fox is king.
It is said that Chun Yoo-seong gathered small pirates around and made a pirate fleet.
Alice also created her own faction.
“I’m going to become the ruler of this sea or something… Anyway, if you look at the end, you will be cleared, so everyone must have wanted to pass first place.”
“It was the damn manager who made the affair. He promised to give the player who got through first what he wanted most. In my case, it was an S-class AI chip.”
“I was a gauntlet made from the bones of an Irish wale.”
To prevent players from allying with each other.
In order to further increase the difficulty of this floor.
Managers came out.
“What are you a manager doing? You’re the one who issues empty checks.”
“A rat… No, he has the appearance of a hamster, but his personality is so damn good.”
“Yoosung hyung said he would be given the right to participate in the ‘Sangsangdaejeon’ hosted by the tower and the right to nominate someone he wanted. I promised Ellis sister a lodging ticket on Paradise Island for 8 days and 7 nights with my lover. ”
“I also suggested something to Teresa, but I forgot what it was. Anyway, everyone went into battle individually.”
All of a sudden…
Chun Yoo-seong and Ellis were given a bait that was hard to refuse.
I think this layering attack will be more spectacular than I thought.
A lot of it too.
* * *
‘Observer’s ship’ above the clouds overlooking all 29 floors.
There, the middle-level manager ‘Alluti’ who manages this floor and the low-level managers who follow him are gathered.
“Squeak squeak! As expected, humans should be educated this way.”
Alluti giggled, clutching the huge sunflower seeds that fit in both hands.
The rest of the hamsters also gnawed at different nuts and looked down.
“Shoot! That’s right. Thanks to Alluti-sama’s stepping up, things seem to be going pretty smoothly.”
“If this is the case, Hasting-sama will be satisfied.” The
reason they put so
much effort into it was because of Hasting’s order. “I don’t know what he was thinking,
but it’s an opportunity for me anyway.”
Hastings was the only one who actively stepped forward among the senior managers who were mostly shrouded
in
mystery
. ‘ It’s fortunate that what unexpectedly
strong candidates want is trivial.’
It was something that could be solved within one’s own authority.
Still,
one should be careful with the ones called ‘head of Ataraxia’, ‘saint’ and ‘sword saint’.
Those with this level of skill will get to the last island sooner than expected. Because I didn’t know if it would reach.
Of course, in order to handle the matter more perfectly, I bought another insurance policy.
Just in time.
Smart.
Someone came to the manager’s location.
“Squeak squeak! Welcome. I almost fainted while waiting.”
Alluti greeted the person who entered the room.
