Chapter 690 – 690. The Runaway Tower
The forest on the third floor was stained with blood.
The guardians of the tower guarding the object and the wanderers who hover around them and attack climbers.
And there is even a 3rd floor hierarchy that wakes up when a certain number of people die.
Unlike the first and second floors, where there was no threat, exponentially more casualties occurred from the third floor. Especially when the third floor’s characteristic of increasing difficulty as the number of people increased was not revealed, it was not uncommon for hundreds of people to die a day.
As a result, there were especially many people who died on the third floor, and their souls were immortalized in the tower and used in various ways.
For example, being reborn as a wanderer or being used as a monster on another floor. The soul has been mobilized to every place where it is needed.
Yes, the tower was a place where the souls of those who died in the tower rolled away. Also, it was the heart of the underground layer that managed those souls.
Only with a pulsating heart could the soul be properly poured into the tower, and only with a heart could the tower operate properly.
The heart of the basement was literally the core of Baekaseong Tower itself.
Jang Jojun destroyed it… Naturally, the souls trapped in the tower began to run wild, and the results were slowly becoming visible.
For example, on the 4th floor.
“Here. What is it?”
“The mission window does not appear.”
“This place… What the hell…”
The 4th floor of the tower is the floor where you must fight your original clone.
Even if you go up to the 4th floor together, you cannot meet your colleagues until you overcome the ordeal, and you can only go up to the 5th floor and meet your colleagues by fighting and defeating a copy of yourself with the same abilities, called a ‘mirror image’ in a given room.
As a common cliché goes, if you fight against your mirror image and prove that you are stronger than your past self, your level will increase by one. But something was different now.
All spaces that were supposed to be separate had collapsed, and even the other spaces in the tower were all tangled up.
The collapsed first and second floors were absorbed into the fourth floor.
The third floor will soon be mixed up as well. Furthermore, if the 4th floor collapses, it will move to the 5th floor.
Twisted.
Twisted.
It gets tangled.
As soon as the tower collapsed, everything became abnormal and was rising upward.
And the first to encounter such an abnormal phenomenon were these three people.
“That… No way…”
“Huh. It’s ‘us’.”
Dozens of mirror images appeared where only one should have appeared.
No, more are coming out. Because the three people were the first to go up to the twisted fourth floor.
The released mirror images were endlessly copying the images of Lee Eun-ha, Son Ha-eun, and Kang Hwa-young.
Although I don’t know their egos or memories, I copied their abilities and skills similarly. I was making the impossible possible by putting my soul into it.
This was already predicted when the heart, the arbiter and core of the tower, was destroyed.
“Uh, what should I do… I think we’re screwed.”
“Ha-eun.”
“Yes.? Sister, why…? “Have you thought of a way?”
“No. I just think you’re right. I think we’re screwed.”
Mirror image beings looking at themselves blankly. Eunha Lee received training from Chizuru Orochi, the god of witchcraft.
Her eyes are different from ordinary people’s eyes. As soon as she saw her mirror image, she recognized it.
They have at least the exact same power as themselves, or are more than 80% similar.
Well then, let’s think about it. Hundreds or thousands of people with the same or similar power as you are staring at you.
How would it feel?
“Are we all going to die here?”
“Hwayoung unnie.”
“Huh?”
“I think we’re all probably going to die.”
“As expected.”
Ganghwayeong had a premonition of her death.
“But why are they just smiling… They’re not coming to kill me right now…”
“I know. Creepy and scary.”
The clones are smiling and shaking their heads from side to side.
They just turned their backs and looked at the climbers.
Overwhelmed by the strange atmosphere, the three people took a step back to escape the mirror image that was looking at them.
Then the smiling mirror images approached one step, two steps.
“Those. On purpose.”
“Yes…?”
“You’re making fun of us on purpose. If you push it away with firepower, it will be over quickly. “To play with it.”
“I feel malice… I sense malice.”
Kang Hwa-yeong and Lee Eun-ha realized something.
Their malice. To be precise, I would say that I heard the screams of souls who had been trapped in the tower and had been corrupted by repeatedly dying and being resurrected for a long time without being able to attain Buddhahood.
Son Ha-eun did not understand. This is because this scream was natural in her situation as a necromancer and eldritch.
“I think it will match the rhythm!!!”
Kang Hwa-yeong screamed and rushed towards the mirror images, creating an atmosphere of fear.
A manifestation of the will not to be played the way they want.
Hehe.”
“Kikikiki!!!!”
As soon as Kang Hwa-young jumped in, mirror images that copied Kang Hwa-young rushed in and began tearing and tearing her body apart.
“Crazy…!”
“I can’t compete with you… There are too many of them.”
It’s a monster that only has a chance of winning if you fight it one-on-one.
Is there any way to stop those guys when they attack in hundreds?
In fact, these three people were the ones who came up when the infinite copying started.
If I were an ordinary climber, I would have crushed the quantity by force regardless of whether I made infinite copies or not, but I couldn’t do that.
This is because the copy target was too strong.
Of course, a half-immortal level monster would not be able to make infinite copies, but these three people were ambiguously weak, which led to the worst result of many strong mirror images being born.
“Let’s run, we have to run away.”
Eunha Lee ran.
Ganghwayeong has already been torn to pieces and is dead.
White Castle Tower, which can be revived only 3 times.
Ganghwayoung just lost one of her lives. If she dies two more times, Ganghwayeong will perish.
So they had to survive as best as they could.
“Ha-eun. No matter how much I think about it, I don’t think T.O.P would just throw me through this crazy ordeal. This clearly means something is wrong with the tower.”
“Could it be because of the master?”
“It’s 100% because of that person, Jang Jo-jun. “When something like this happens, if you point at my brother, he’s the culprit.”
“Ah…”
“First, it’s clear that a problem has occurred. If there is anything strange when you die or are resurrected, let’s find a solution.”
“Yes.!”
When it comes to souls and spiritual bodies, Lee Eun-ha and Son Ha-eun were the best specialists in the abyss.
Except for Ogryn, who spent his entire life in hell and devoted his life to soul-searching, I would say that these two people know the best.
That’s right, Son Ha-eun is the only eldritch and a person who has mastered the extremes of necromancy. Lee Eun-ha is the king of witchcraft and a talent who specializes in the production of solitude and mass production of ectoplasm.
“Kihehehe!!!!”
“Oops!”
Lee Eun-ha’s body was split in half as she was running away.
The only person left is Son Ha-eun.
“Is it my turn… Haha…”
Son Ha-eun laughed as she looked at mirror images that looked exactly like her. Rather than fear, the desire to explore how to solve this difficulty was higher.
Soon even Son Ha-eun died, having her limbs torn off by the hands of her mirror image.
******
The emperor ran across the length and breadth and cut off the heads of climbers and wanderers.
Blood splattered everywhere and the screams of the dying echoed through the forest.
“Uh, why!!!!”
“Here!!! “There is a monster wearing the mask of an emperor!!!!!”
“Fuck!!! Run away!!!!”
Pursuing those who were running away, the emperor plunged his sword into their backs.
Puhwaaagh-!!!!
“Quaaaaa!!!!!”
“What the fuck!!! Kill it!!!!”
Those who were cornered while fleeing eventually attacked, and at the moment they attacked, the emperor activated Jang Jo-jun’s skill.
[What! My skills!!!]
Jang Jojun, who was watching the fight quietly, shouted as if he was embarrassed.
It was absurd that the emperor used his skills so openly.
“This performs well. “You had this skill.”
[Hey!!! Why are you using my skills however you want!!!]
“Well… Because I can use it?”
[What on earth is this…!]
The emperor, who had become completely one with the tentacle mass, even used the skills imprinted on the tentacle mass.
Of course, it wasn’t perfectly implemented, but the fact that he could imitate it was a huge shock to Jang Jo-jun.
‘No, isn’t this a foul?’
Jang Jojun immediately confronted the evil spirits.
Is this even possible? Then, those who were watching him said one word at a time.
[This was already foreseen when the spirit and body were connected. So you should have read the contract properly. Ugh…]
[There is nothing we can do until it is taken away again. Endure it.]
[I want to intervene, but… It would be better to overcome it on my own. Fighting.]
When Jang Jo-jun said he would not intervene, he closed his eyes tightly, saying he knew he would.
The skills after the second awakening are close to the same level as the power of God, but the skills before that are simply skills with the power reduced to a similar level.
Moreover, since the main body was broken and stuck in a roughly made tentacle mass, it was easier to pull it out and use it. That’s why the emperor also uses it without difficulty.
This was possible because the tentacle mass, Jang Jo-jun’s temporary body, was treated as if it were an item.
“Kwaaaaa!!!!”
Kwasik!!!
Watching these people disappear into the maw of the abyss, the emperor prepared to summon the guardian of the third floor.
“It’s okay. Now let’s hunt the guardian.”
The emperor stroking the mass of tentacles on his back.
There was no emotion in her eyes. Just the feeling that I have to kill because I have to.
It was an inorganic cut without any further thoughts or other emotions.
There was not even a hint of sadistic desire or pride in the power that can be felt when destroying the weak.
‘In a sense, it is fanatic.’
Jang Jo-Jun made that assessment.
The emperor had no interest or concern about anything other than the purpose of owning Zhang Zhaojun.
That’s how blind it is. The obsession is excessive. But I can’t escape.
In the past, there was a woman who showed this obsession with Jang Jo-jun.
‘Meiling…’
Mei Ling, like the current emperor, also showed excessive obsession with Zhang Zhaojun. However, when she clearly felt the gap between her and Zhang Zhaojun, and realized that she was something she could not dare to own, her obsession with Mei Ling turned into her sadness, and she broke away from Zhang Zhaojun.
Even if he had yandere tendencies, he was bound to break in front of Jang Jo-jun’s overwhelming force.
However, the emperor is unusual.
He is a ruler who has built a power similar to that of Jang Jo-jun, and has a power that makes it difficult for even Jang Jo-jun to be easily annihilated.
As a result, he was able to bring his desire for ownership into reality.
You can tell just by looking at how helplessly Jang Jo-Jun is locked up right now. The emperor is different from other yanderes.
He had the power and power to realize his desires and desires.
Jang Jojun thought that was scary.
‘It’s been a long time since I felt afraid.’
I’ve often felt defeat or boredom, but it’s been a long time since I felt pure fear.
‘I thought it was shit.’
In normal times, I thought he was a weakling, but when he goes crazy and goes crazy, I feel like I’m going crazy. And Jang Jo-jun felt dizzy, difficult to describe, at the fact that he was the one who caused the other person to become so tainted with madness.
He closed his eyes once again.
‘As expected… Eunha and them are not in this forest…’
It probably went up.
Even if a spirit wave was sent out to ask for help, there was no one who could catch the emperor.
A situation without dreams or hope.
If we assume the worst here, the women who will kill him have already reached the 5th floor and gone outside.
Soon the guardian of the third floor appeared.
The emperor cut down the guardian on the third floor without difficulty.
Soon the entrance to the fourth floor appeared in front of them.
“Your Majesty.”
Just before crossing the gate, Kaiman called the emperor.
If he can’t stop the Emperor, this will probably be the end. Jojun Jang thought so and cheered for Caiman.
Please kill yourself and the emperor.
