Lesson 55. The center of the tower – 2
After killing a flock of birds that are enough for two or three rooms.
While flying through the sky using her tail, Ruchel was leisurely examining the ground.
“It seems that a flock of cursed birds is driving the entire vast room to destruction. It seems there have been rooms like this before.”
“There may not be too many factors that can drive the world to destruction. War plague curse or monster wave or something.”
After listing it, it looks pretty good.
However, in less than a year, Banyuwon, who has experienced various worlds, whether inside the tower or in another dimension, has not directly experienced most of the factors of destruction.
…No, when I think about it again, it seems that there were fewer dimensions.
―Wheein
Tike, who had been sent outside in advance, identified the area where humans were concentrated and sent a message to Banyuwon.
Naturally, Lilith, which received it together, bent the fighter’s trajectory and began descending at an angle toward the ground.
“Follow me, let’s go down.”
“yes!”
“Eh, are you meeting NPCs again? It would be nice if we could just grab the monsters by ourselves and move on…”
Ruchel obediently followed him down, but Asha made a rough expression as she guessed his intentions.
That’s probably because, unlike the other members of Rebellion, she tends to empathize with the NPCs in the tower.
Ever since she entered the tower, even when she was possessed by the spirits of her ancestors, she used to treat NPCs as if they were real people and tried to take care of them.
However, now that I realize little by little that the students climbing the tower often end up leading to death rather than saving them if they get involved with NPCs, I rather want to avoid them.
“what?”
But her complexion was gradually changing as she got closer to the ground.
The reason was that Banyuwon, who shared Tyche’s vision and confirmed the appearance of humans on the ground, was able to immediately realize.
“He is the savior!”
“The savior saved us this time too!”
Coincidentally, the NPCs who had survived the previous chain room to the end were staying here.
They were the inhabitants of a world where there was a tower built by the Constellations imitating the Tower of Babel.
As a result of the tower directly punishing that world, the tower collapsed and even the constellations could no longer interfere with the world, and eventually all the few remaining humans had no choice but to face the approaching destruction.
It was only something that happened in the past in an external dimension outside the tower, but the NPCs left behind in the fragments of the isolated world inside the tower somehow survived the destruction reproduced in the environment called the Trick Room with the help of the Rebellion members and were able to survive.
‘I thought the chain room was over because I didn’t have anything to see after that.’
No, actually there will be no more rooms related to that world.
Ban Yu-Won’s party had already experienced enough of the tower’s teachings, and above all, traces of the Constellation were felt in the flock of cursed birds they encountered earlier.
This room was definitely set in a different world from the chain rooms I had been through before.
“Oh my God, isn’t he really our savior!”
“Savior! He descended again for us!”
However, the authors who welcomed the party descending from the sky with arms wide open and tears of emotion were definitely the NPCs they had seen in the previous Trick Room and seemed to have the same memories.
If so… the Tower rescued only them from a room that disappeared after its use, and moved them to my new stage, in contact with Rebellion, a climber who had previously encountered them.
Ban Yu-won felt that the ‘NPC Recycling Theory’ he had thought of before was right.
This means that how you treat the NPCs you encounter while climbing the tower can affect your subsequent climb.
‘Of course, most students wouldn’t mind knowing this.’
Even so, NPCs are like the relationship between humans and ephemera compared to students who only select talented people who can fly and crawl across all NPC dimensions.
Whether ephemera follows or opposes humans, what effect will there be on humans?
It’s a relief if you don’t catch it because it’s annoying to fly around whimpering nearby.
To be honest, even Banyuwon– I just changed the way I met them with the thought that it would compensate for the settlement and compensation that will be done in Eden, and I didn’t think that they would be able to greatly influence their party.
“You were alive!”
However, Asha, who has a strong empathy for the NPCs, was very happy to see them because of her vivid memories of the time, even though she had no control over them.
Asha accelerates and lands lightly on the ground, then smiles and approaches them.
However, they tilted their heads as if they couldn’t share her feelings.
“Ummm—are you also part of the savior’s company?”
“Come to think of it, I think there was someone with a similar atmosphere.”
“What are you talking about? I saved your lives– ah.”
Realizing what she looked like a little later, Asha groaned.
It’s no wonder that they didn’t recognize her, so Asha at the time was taking the closest look to a man in her entire life.
On the other hand, now she has regained her true self– I’m ashamed to even say this myself, but isn’t it the appearance of a flower-like beautiful girl!
“It can’t be helped that I don’t know much. I didn’t know I could be this pretty too…”
“…”
“What is it, Lucille? Why are you looking at me like that?”
“Nothing.”
Around that time, Banyuwon and Dokgoyeon also got out of the fighter and landed.
Those who were taken aback by Asha’s approach were delighted to see Lilith, transformed from a fighter plane into a small doll, lightly land on Banyuwon’s shoulder.
Apparently, Lilith, who freely changed her appearance with tanks and other vehicles, remained strong in their memories.
“You are the savior after all!”
“long time no see. But this isn’t the world you used to live in.”
“When I came to my senses, it was here! Let’s move on with us. This place is dangerous because it is affected by erosion.”
Erosion is probably talking about things that held a curse.
Because Ban Yu-Won fought a lot in the sky, he followed them with his party, recalling the concept of curses and convergence accumulated in the code core at a depth of thousands.
* * *
Perhaps the sound of burning candles sounded gloomy for no reason, Asha trembled and approached Banyuwon.
Ruchel was already in such a state, and Dok-go-yeon was making a pathetic expression at a distance from them.
The hideout where the NPCs were staying was narrow and dark, as if reflecting the bad circumstances of this world.
“So the curse swarming outside is erosion?”
“From the moment we opened our eyes in this world, more than half of the world had already been eroded.”
“First, explain what the erosion is. It’s like some kind of curse.”
“I heard from the natives of this world that it is the result of the Constellation running out of control.”
The NPCs who brought them to the hideout hurriedly explained the circumstances of the world as if they were being chased by someone.
In this world, there were two great nations that had repeatedly clashed throughout history, and each had a constellation supporting them.
At the point of hearing up to this point, Ban Yu-won felt like he had already heard the story, but for now, he decided to listen to the story in silence.
“The war grew, and at last it reached the point where the two Constellations descended.”
Did the Constellation descend? Ban Yu-Won’s ears pricked up.
If traces of that remain in this world, wouldn’t Banyuwon be able to obtain a large amount of valuable rare concepts from the descending body of the constellation?
However, it was only something that happened in the history of this dimension, and it was unknown whether it would remain in the fragments of the world that had moved to the tower, so I suppressed my expectations for now.
“In the end, humans who had no way to stop the war on their own sought outside help.”
“A higher dimension?”
“Exactly.”
yes it is
These days, most banyuwons even suspected that the bad things that happen in most dimensions are caused by the intervention of higher dimensions.
“We do not know which dimension we sought help from. However, as a result, the Constellations that protected the two countries retreated, and the descending body they left behind ran out of control, bringing disaster to the world. That is called erosion.”
“As a result of seeking help from the upper dimension, the two constellations retreated and the descent body ran out of control…” When
Banyuwon, who wanted to ask in detail how the rampage went, noticed, one of them went outside saying he would bring a survivor from this world.
Ban Yu-won asked for forgiveness from the remaining NPCs and set up a barrier separating them and the party.
Then he smiled and said.
“Maybe this is the bonanza.”
“I assumed you would say that.”
Dok-go-yeon smiled slightly at his remarks, which were completely different from those of Union students.
“No kite. Listen seriously. This is what I thought from the first time I encountered those cursed birds, these guys here resemble the Chimera Balls we faced in space.”
Chimera Ball Monsters appearing in an abandoned dimension.
They are the ones who absorb and fuse everything and eventually lead to destruction. Judging from the fact that the president calls the abandoned dimension the experimental dimension, it seems to be related to the Union or the Tower of Babel.
It means that this place may also be an ‘experimented dimension’ before it completely fell.
“And the core concepts obtained from this Chimera Ball are fusion and collapse, and with these two concepts, it can be said that Shati-senpai’s authority was completed. Anyway, it’s a concept full of practicality.”
In a way, Chimera Balls are monsters that you have to risk your life to deal with, but wouldn’t it be so much better if you could get the concept that you could only get from them in the tower?
However, I couldn’t find the concept of collapse, whether the guys I saw earlier were not yet
complete, or if, on the contrary, the performance was better than the Chimera Ball .
“It’s ironic.”
Dokgoyeon had a disapproving expression.
“Why does the tower show us the end of the world this way every time? Could it be a warning? It is quite unpleasant.”
“Whoops, we still don’t know how the tower is related to this dimension.”
“Hmm, I don’t know…”
Dok-go-yeon’s mysterious hostility towards the tower is still there.
Of course, when I recalled that her dimension was separated from other dimensions and that Diavolo’s demon king pretended to know her dimension and its special martial arts, I could barely understand the source of the hostility.
‘Something bad happened with another dimension in the past. It’s something that most of the upper dimension would know about, but it’s dirty enough to keep it quiet.’
Nevertheless, Dokgo-yeon’s ‘Moorim’ kept its dimension.
It’s not that there’s no good reason to break away from the existing rating system and be called the Ex-1 dimension.
If you go to the dimension of Dokgo Yeon this vacation… will you explain the situation to him?
“Why do you look like that?”
While thinking about Dok-go-yeon’s dimension, it seems that his eyes went to her inadvertently.
She blushed for no reason, took a step back, and spat out words that had nothing to do with Ban Yu-Won’s thoughts.
“Looking at it that way, I have no intention of clinging to you in a place like this. It is different from the two beasts that go into heat at any time and place.”
“Going into heat in a bar—isn’t that what it is?!”
Asha, who had been stabbed with a crowbar, hurriedly let go of Banyuwon’s arm and backed away, making an excuse.
“Oh, Dokgoyeon. If that was the right time and place…”
On the other hand, Ruchel laughed when she realized Dok-Ko-Yeon’s mistake… Unfortunately, before she could pull out her fingernails, the doorway to the hiding place burst open and a complete stranger appeared.
“Please save me–! The erosion has come all the way to this place–!”
And in the next moment, it disappeared, buried in a flock of black birds that filled the sky and landed.
Ban Yu-Won saw all the concepts that made up the NPC’s body melted into a curse and fused into a flock of black birds, and he thought of Hitchcock’s masterpiece movie and a certain Japanese literature about the Holy Grail at the same time, but first of all, he blocked the waves of the curse by spreading a barrier.
―Finally we meet again, my lovely child!
Then, feeling the energy of the constellation he had heard several times that might be related to the ‘experiment’ that had invaded this dimension, he sighed quietly.
