Chapter 682 – 682. The Performance of the Body Beyond the System
Lee Eun-ha opened the entrance to the tower, shedding sweat.
Her magic took the shape of a key and opened the seal on the entrance, which was piled up in layers, and broke the multiple overlapping barriers one by one to unlock them.
Tongue-!!!!!
Baekaseong Tower with the door open.
A blue portal connected to the inside.
If you go inside, you will be transported to the first floor of the tower.
“Hwayoung and Haeun are back.”
Jojun Jang called in the remaining two people who were destroying the Temple of Summoning.
“Our purpose is threefold. First things first. “Exterminating the survivors of Shangri-La.”
There was no particular reason. This is because most of those in Shangri-La belong to the pantheon. That’s why they kill them all and make an example of them.
The goal was to completely destroy it and send a video to the empire to ridicule it.
“The second is leveling up.”
The significance of Shangri-La’s existence lies in leveling up.
Players who have achieved level 25 can grow up to level 30 by climbing the White Castle Tower.
“And finally, the third. Getting the item at the top of the tower.”
It is said that there is a special reward at the top of Baekaseong Tower.
Of course, there is nothing lacking for Jang Jo-jun, who owns the abyss and the research building, but the goal was to get it first and kick down the ladder before someone else takes it.
“There may be follow-up runners, so turn all your relatives in the city to blocking the entrance to the tower.”
“Yes.”
“Good.”
Son Ha-eun opened the Book of Eternity and gave orders to the undead, and Ganghwa-yeong also ordered the vampires she had made into her servants to guard the entrance to the tower.
“Then let’s go in.”
What is the condition of the inside of the tower?
Jang Jo-jun and his companions crossed the dimensional door and entered the tower.
******
‘Huh? What is this feeling?’
In the process of passing through the portal, I felt something foreign.
A feeling as if the body and soul are becoming separate.
I’ve experienced a similar feeling to this once before.
‘Ah. It’s a similar feeling to the one I got when my morph’s body was taken away.’
When I was hospitalized after being pierced through the side by a sword, I borrowed the body of a deadly beast morph to move around.
At that time, when I was possessed by a parasite and took over the body of a morph, I felt a sense of floating that was difficult to explain in words.
If I were to use a metaphor, I would say it feels like leaving the body.
Even though it wasn’t my body, I could control it, and it felt like my soul was slightly there.
The moment I crossed the dimensional door into the tower, I felt the same feeling of floating that I felt then.
This means that my body and soul are left behind somewhere and my mind is separated and going somewhere else.
[Error Occurred]
[Warning! Warning!]
[Failed to reproduce the body!!!]
‘What.!!?’
At that moment, I felt like something was really wrong.
What can I say? It feels like I left my body on Earth and only my mind is thrown out into space.
A shock is coming.
‘Quaaaaa——!!!!!!!!’
The self is splitting apart.
The field of view is divided into several parts, illuminating the interior of the tower.
The sight of those running away. The trials of the tower. Hwayoung is looking for me.
‘What the fuck! ‘This is crazy!!!’
Where did Paimon go?
I couldn’t even feel Paimon’s presence, I could only feel the eyes of the evil gods looking at me.
[Calm down.]
Soon, Indicron’s voice caught me as I was flying.
‘What on earth is going on!?’
[Failed to reproduce the body. The tower caused an error. This means we can slightly intervene.]
‘Yes? What is that…’
[Apostle. Let’s look at this.]
While Indicron was holding me, Botamilli injected information into me.
Information from the tower flows into a place that was once filled with emptiness.
‘This. Ah. That’s what it was like.’
Now I completely realize what has happened to me.
First, there is a resurrection system in three places where you can grow up to level 30.
This is information that came out when three entry permits had already appeared as achievement rewards.
‘El Dorado, Shangri-La, and even Erebos.’
A clause stating that if you die in the Underground City, Baekahseong Tower, and Jubak Palace, you can be resurrected only three times.
I’ve read this before.
‘But perfect resurrection is something only God can do and consumes enormous causality.’
Therefore, the three-time resurrection proposed by the three labyrinths is actually very difficult to achieve realistically.
So many people will challenge the labyrinth and die, so resurrecting them all would be crazy.
Therefore, the management team decided to use a trick.
Before entering the underground city, White Castle Tower, and Jubak Palace, a dimensional door is installed as an intermediate step. The egos of those who pass through the dimensional gate are separated from their spiritual bodies and placed in temporary bodies. It can be seen as similar to the clone technology used by the emperor.
The original body and soul are stored separately, and the ego is placed in the cloned body so that even if the original body dies, the original body does not die. If you do this, the cost of resurrection becomes very cheap.
Moreover, ordinary people do not notice this intermediate process at all. One does not feel any discomfort from the almost perfectly recreated body.
Even if you notice a slight sense of discomfort, it is not fatal. Above all, the tower is ultimately a place for leveling up, so all you have to do is raise it to level 30 and leave.
Even if you notice, there is no need to raise any objection. Just shake it off a bit and knit it.
But I couldn’t even use this method.
Because it is not common.
My original body was impossible to clone.
‘The original body was close to that of a god, so it could not be reproduced properly.’
Currently, most of the elements that make up my body are filled with the power of evil spirits, and more than half of my blood is divine blood. It has already become close to impossible to imitate my original body with just this.
However, there are even two awakened sources, so it must contain the power of Nagaraja and the power of greed. In addition, since it is a semi-immortal body, the difficulty of implementation is easily 100 times that of an ordinary transcendental person.
Of course, it is impossible to imitate such an enormous body when there are only a few elixirs and internal stages.
I should have already come in early and left after reaching level 30, but it was an incident that occurred because I had built a body that was close to full level while doing side quests.
In any case, the tower, which had no way to properly embody my body, made an error, and my self, which was separated without any intention, was thrown out without being able to find a body to enter.
Indicron caught it, and it is an ironic situation that Botamilli is now explaining the situation.
Hehe… I’m adjusting the temporary body… Wait.]
Soon, Kashnax’s voice was heard.
Indicron took hold of his ego, Votamilli analyzed the situation, and Kashnax seemed to be creating a temporary body.
But where did Paimon go?
[I have it with me. It looks like it was thrown out of the entrance of the tower.]
Sataniel’s voice was heard.
It looks like Paimon is by her side.
‘I wasn’t behind.’
I slightly heard Paimon’s screams, but ignored them.
Since fighting Zeke in the Demon Dragon’s Den, Sataniel has periodically asked for Paimon. She always cried and begged Paimon to save her, so she didn’t let him go.
But it seems like it just caught on this time. I’m not sure why Sataniel asked for Paimon, but may he rest in peace.
Because the interest or love of evil spirits is practically a curse.
[Companion… The tuning of the body has been completed. It will be useful for now.]
‘Thank you, Kashnax.’
[If you’re so grateful, make an offering. These days, it’s not enough.]
[Right. My child You know it soon, right?]
Hehe. I give it to you too.]
‘Oh.’
The Three Demon Gods asked for offerings as if they had kissed.
Actually, I haven’t been giving much these days.
Today, I absorbed almost everything.
In the first place, the evil gods have become strong enough that there is no need to offer them separately, but they still like it when I make offerings.
It feels like some kind of special meal.
“I understand.”
As I answered, I realized that I was already inside the tower.
New body. A body tuned by Kashnax as a temporary measure.
“What is this?”
A flaccid body.
I had become a tentacle monster.
******
“Oh. “What about the owner?”
“I don’t know. “When I opened my eyes, it wasn’t there.”
“Where have you gone, brother?”
Now that Jang Jojun has fallen to the ‘basement’ of the tower.
Kang Hwa-young, Lee Eun-ha, and Son Ha-eun entered the first floor of the tower as usual.
——
[Welcome to the tower.]
「First Trial」
-Find the door.
Go up to the second floor within 10 hours.
*If you fail, you will be kicked out of the tower.
——
“They say you want to find the door?”
“If you don’t find the door within 10 hours, you’re released.”
“First of all, before the owner comes, start at the door…”
Those who were hiding on the first floor approached the three people who were looking for them.
“How did you guys get in?”
“Surely it’s stable outside!”
They were the survivors left on the first floor.
At the moment of despair, he came to see the three people who had entered the tower.
They were unable to properly identify the faces of these three people as they fled in a sudden disaster situation. I didn’t see the scene where they destroyed Shangri-La.
That’s why I came over to ask about the situation outside.
“Hmm. “First of all, I have to clean up the first floor.”
“Yes.”
The three women relaxed their bodies as they looked at the people approaching them.
Since I don’t know where Jang Jojun went, I decided that I should clean up first. To follow Jang Jo-jun’s orders to exterminate those in the tower.
Meanwhile, Jang Jo-jun, who fell into the basement of the tower…
“Huh. Was this the best?”
[…
“I’m going crazy.”
I was perplexed as I checked the body created in a makeshift manner.
‘The body’s regenerative ability itself is semi-immortal. The stats were also completely lowered. The sensory stats are almost non-existent. What is this?’
It feels like the level has been reset.
Even the skills strengthened by sleeping with the goddesses had returned to the state before the second awakening, and most of the items in the stomach pocket had disappeared.
Because it is not the original body.
——
[The ? Floor of the tower]
「67,009,228th curse」
-Find the heart.
At the top of there is.
*If you fail, thank you ᄉᆞㆍㆍ
Mang.
——
“What is this again?”
A shattered quest window that I don’t know what’s going on.
Jang Jojun rubbed his forehead.
