Chapter 680 – 680. If You Want to Live, Climb the Tower
A place where only those who have reached level 25 can challenge.
Eldorado managed by Mangwijeon.
Shangri-la managed by the Pantheon.
And Erebos, managed by the Ten Thousand Demons.
“It’s a new place we haven’t tried before.”
You need to challenge yourself to reach level 30.
Now that the Emperor is maintaining the top survival ranking, he must quickly reach level 30 and normalize the ranking again.
“Originally, it was virtually impossible to enter El Dorado and Shangri-La. But.”
It is possible now.
Because.
The two pillars of the Mangeumjeon, the Dragon King and the Giant God, are currently on the run, and in the case of the Manshinjeon, the disaster gods are watching to prevent them from doing anything.
“Therefore. “We can rob all three places.”
El Dorado, Shangri-La, and Erebus each have different rewards.
In order to obtain ‘high-quality items’ that can be considered artifacts, rare items, or treasures, you must enter El Dorado.
El Dorado itself is a large labyrinth, and various monsters that look like something out of a fantasy world roam the underground city.
Kill these guys to level up, get materials from their corpses to equip equipment, or find treasure to quickly become stronger.
If you want to get unique stats or level up quickly, you should go to Shangri-La.
In the case of Shangri-La, the goal is to climb the Baekaseong Tower located in the center of the large circular city.
Shangri-Laji is a place where you can climb the tower, complete various quests, and quickly increase your stats and level to become stronger.
Lastly, Erebos.
This is a place governed by the abyss and a place where those who want to give up being human can enter. If you want to be consumed by the abyss and mutate your body, change species, or become a monster and gain enormous power, you can enter Erebos.
In short, it’s a place that people in their right mind are reluctant to enter. You can obtain enough items and level up in El Dorado and Shangri-La, but no one bothered to come to Erebos.
Yes, there was none.
“Erebus is on the brink?”
“Yes. Account creation cards were released in large quantities, and most of the Yis who became players went to Erebos.”
“No. Why?”
“Well, whatever. Because the Manma Tournament is doing well, right?”
“In the first place, don’t the Yi people have no choice other than Erebos? If I go into Shangri-La or El Dorado, will I be treated like a monster and die?”
That is correct. Most of the Yi people, who are not humanoid but have a bizarre appearance, play as they look. Maybe it’s because they look like shit, but they pay the price for what they look like.
And for other races who know this, it is a routine practice to kill them as soon as they see them.
“Erebos is saturated.”
Anyway, this was an unexpected situation.
Originally, I was planning to go into Erebos and attack the Zubak Palace right away. If you want to get into the Jubak Palace, you have to get a waiting ticket first.
It wouldn’t matter if you cut in line. I need to have a soul battle with Kysiri, but it’s a bit annoying when there are too many fly chicks.
I think I need to go somewhere other than Erebos for this.
“No, but wasn’t the Zubak Palace itself a content where you fight against Kysiri in the first place?”
“That’s it. “This is a content where if you go into the palace and meet Cysiria, she will give you the blessing of the abyss.”
“No, it wasn’t the final boss, but an NPC that gave rewards. “Why did you ask me to fight over such a topic…?”
“Hey, wasn’t it you who argued about fighting first?”
Bang!
I hit honey balm on the head of Vesper who raised questions.
Vesper, with his head caved in, closed his eyes and fell to the ground, unable to get up. He’ll probably recover soon. Because this is not the year to die.
“Hmm. Then, let’s go somewhere else first.”
“How about here, Shangri-La?”
“Shangri-La?”
“Yes. They say there are a lot of high intelligence beings, including the Eldar.”
“It is said that there are many different races that look similar to humans.”
“It feels like the emperor’s people are gathered together. There are probably many pigs who are tired of peace.”
“Ohh. “It’s good.”
I nodded to the recommendations of the executives.
Originally, I wouldn’t have gone because I was afraid of the good gods, but now I have nothing to be afraid of. Manmajeon protects me.
“Good. The next target is Shangri-La. Let’s go here.”
“Who are you planning on going with?”
Who should I go with?
Originally, I was planning to drag Nus, Eshgar, and Kaynep to Erebos and roll them over.
But now that the situation has changed a bit, it would be better to change the person you take with you.
“Lee Eun-ha and Son Ha-eun. And Ganghwayoung. “Summon three people.”
Since it is a curs stone, it can be made alone, and Lee Eun-ha received magic training from Orochi.
Son Ha-eun acquired the knowledge of the old king and mastered the extremes of necromancy as an eldritch.
And Hwayoung, who fully awakened the power of a blood demon due to the resurrection of Senectus.
Shamans, necromancers, and blood demons. Let’s take three people and enter Shangri-La.
“We are unleashing disaster on the peaceful Tower City.”
Preparations to enter Shangri-La began immediately.
This time, I want to go wild and have fun.
Maybe it’s because I’ve only been fighting against very strong guys these days, but I feel like I’m starting to want to massacre the civilians.
******
The three places that Jang Jo-jun could not occupy were occupied by different forces.
First of all, El Dorado, which was managed by Mangwijeon, was ruled by some fantasy-like guys, including fairies and beastmen, who formed an adventurer’s association.
In the case of Shangli-la, where the White Star Tower is located, several raiding parties belonging to the Eldian Empire and a merchant alliance were exerting influence by controlling the commercial area.
Lastly, in the case of Erebos, where the palace is located, various tribes, reminiscent of the black market of the past, were forming slave troops to attack.
It can be said that all three places have not yet been properly touched by the abyss.
They made various preparations to keep in check Jang Jo-jun and his forces, who could creep in at any time, and were doing their best to extract as many resources as possible before Jang Jo-jun came in.
“This is Shangri-La.”
Jang Jo-jun hid his energy as much as possible while looking at the crowd of people.
He and his colleagues were standing in front of the Temple of Summoning, which can be said to be the current entrance to Shangri-La.
Because all four of them hid their identities, they were not yet under any suspicion, and people coming and going around them did not pay much attention to them.
They recognized him as just an ordinary Shangri-La visitor.
Thanks to this, they were able to leisurely observe the tower city.
“Wow. Sniff. “It’s full of magical scent.”
“Ugh. Sunshine. Ugh.”
“I feel like I don’t like sunlight either.”
Lee Eun-ha’s eyes sparkled at the scent of supernatural abilities prevalent in the city.
The undead Son Ha-eun and the vampire Kang Hwa-yeong frowned in the sparkling sunlight.
Shangri-La was quite prosperous. There were many different races enjoying magical engineering mechanical devices and advanced civilizations everywhere, and the market was active, so there was a sense of life.
Above all, the strangely mixed technologies created a unique culture that could not be seen anywhere else, adding to the mystery.
“A world where motorcycles and wyverns coexist.”
“There’s a TV and a wireless phone over there.”
“There is also a Lizardman swordsman walking while looking at his cell phone.”
“Fantasy, modern times, and science fiction are all mixed together.”
Jang Jo-jun whetted his appetite while looking at the unique scenery of Shangri-La.
How can we give them shock and fear? How can we turn this harmonious and beautiful city into a dark fantasy and fill it with blood and screams?
While they were thinking about that, someone approached them.
“If you stand there at the entrance, you will be blocking traffic. Could you please move to the side… Ok?”
The temple security guard came to ask Jang Jo-jun and his companions, who were standing at the entrance of the temple, to get out of the way.
He looked closely at Jang Jo-jun’s face and then let out an inexplicable scream.
“Krraaak!!! Demon, the apostle of ten thousand demons…!!! Aaaaa!!!!!”
The security guard, who discovered Jang Jo-jun’s identity, ran away without looking back, and in response to his reaction, the surrounding residents of Shangri-La showed interest in Jang Jo-jun and his group.
“Why is that person like that?”
“I don’t know. “You ran away when you saw those people?”
“Who are these people?”
“Hmm. Huh? Huh?”
“Why. “Do you know someone?”
“Oh, no. That… That… Ugh. Ahhh!!!”
The commotion grows. Soon people realized. Who has entered Shangri-La now?
“He is the apostle of ten thousand demons!!!!!”
People ran away to get as far away as possible from the area around the summoning. Disaster appeared. At the appearance of this incredible evil, even the city guards were dispatched, and soon Shangri-La’s powerful people began to gather.
Jang Jo-Jun’s impressions and idiosyncrasies were already public information. There is no one who cannot distinguish him by his appearance.
No matter how much he is disguised, a very large man weighing 2 meters 20 centimeters and 150 kilograms and reeking of murder and blood will be noticeable.
“People are gathering. From now on, you three will kill everyone who comes to the Temple of Summoning.”
“Yes!”
“Please leave it to me.”
“Confirm.”
Jang Jojun’s plan was simple.
First, Ganghwayoung, Lee Eunha, and Son Haeun block the Temple of Summoning, which can be said to be the entrance to Shangri-La.
And he himself brings destruction to the city.
“There will be no way to survive other than going into the tower.”
Jang Jo-jun’s body began to grow rapidly.
Soon, a pitch black snake appeared in front of the Temple of Summoning.
******
“Kkkk!!!!!”
“Aaaaah!!!!”
“Run!!! Fuck!!! Run to the tower!!!!!!”
“Ugh! What is that!”
“I don’t know!! Run!!!”
“Wait for a sec!!! Don’t we have to go to the place where the temple is?!!”
“The temple is blocked!!!”
“Uh!? Uhhhhh!!! “It’s coming!!!”
Kwaaaaang-!!!!
Collapse of the industrial district east of Shangri-La.
“Snake… It’s a snake.”
As the giant black snake spewed out a putrid liquid, the entire industrial branch east of Shangri-La became contaminated with the yellow liquid and melted.
Soon, the workers and craftsmen who died in the industrial branch rotted in the rotting liquid, giving off a foul odor, turning into slime and mushroom people, and as green spores covered the area, parasites and unknown diseases appeared.
Soon, the entire eastern branch was covered with mold, and Spenta Mainyu’s descendants were spawning one after another, and the black dust slowly moved south, weighing down the city’s buildings.
The place where the Black Death turned was the southern residential area of Shangri-La.
“Pusssss!!!!!!!”
Spore-spewing mushroom people crawl out of the eastern Earth.
The streets fell into chaos, and people whose bodies began to rot under the curse of corruption screamed and vomited acidic mucus.
The skin melts and the internal organs are replaced by slime.
A body that has even had its brain eaten by parasites and has become a nest of insects.
Unable to die, living corpses spewed foul gas from their mouths and crawled out into the city.
“Go into the tower!!!”
“Many abyssal worms occurred in the southern residential complex!!!!”
“Fuck…”
Soon the sky turned black.
Jet-black cockroaches nested in the southern residential area.
The people in the residential complex instantly became living sacrifices, and abyss bugs, whose numbers had greatly increased, burst out onto the streets and dragged those who had not yet escaped to the tower into their nests.
Every time the black snake opened its mouth, disaster spewed out.
Moreover, those who tried to escape outside Shangri-La through the Temple of Summoning were also caught by Jang Jo-jun’s men and died.
“Woooooh…”
Those who died at the hands of Son Ha-eun were revived as undead whose bodies were taken over by parasitic trees, and those who were infected by Ganghwa-yeong’s blood traces returned their eyes and became vampires.
Even Lee Eun-ha captures the living people and extracts ectoplasm while spewing out loneliness.
The above-ground part of Shangri-La, which had been established as a land of prosperity, became a banquet hall for monsters.
The first floor of the tower.
People must move up.
Because disaster came flooding in from the first floor, like a tsunami.
The survivors of Shangri-La had to climb the tower to survive.
Disaster is brewing.
Gradually starting from the first floor.
