Chapter 687 – 687. The Collapsing Tower
They entered the first floor with the emperor’s body stolen.
This body is soft and flexible, so the movements are smooth.
I think it performs as well as my original body.
It must have been worth spending some money on the emperor.
Unfortunately, it was stolen from me.
——
[1st floor of the tower]
「109,227th curse」
-The tower is watching you
*The first floor will collapse soon.
——
The first floor is about to collapse? It just came up?
No, why is it collapsing?
‘Surely you broke my heart?’
It may be so.
The heart of the basement was actually the core of the tower.
Since it exploded, the tower must have collapsed from the first floor.
-Kugugung!!!
The tower shook violently.
Also, the floor cracked and collapsed in several places, revealing a pitch-black hole.
We need to get out of the first floor quickly. But how?
What are the conditions for leaving the first floor?
[Ugh… What happened…]
While he was wondering how to move up, the emperor’s self-consciousness returned.
Gradually, his voice becomes clearer. Thank god. This guy would know. He must have information since he has already climbed the tower.
“Hey. Emperor. “Answer me.”
[W-what!!! My body!!!]
“Your body is mine now. “I know that because I will use it well and then throw it away.”
[What.!!?]
“That’s not what’s important right now. “Tell me how to go up to the second floor.”
He was helpless at the fact that his body had been taken away. It must be embarrassing. When he opened his eyes, his body was taken by someone else.
I wanted to make fun of him as much as I could, but there was no time for that right now. We had to go up immediately.
Because the tower is collapsing.
[Is this possible.? If your body is taken away, you should be treated as dead. Why… You and I can coexist. What… I like it…]
“I don’t really know why bodies are shared. No, that’s not what’s important right now. How do I get to the second floor? Hurry! “I’m in a hurry, I don’t have time!!!”
Certainly, as the Emperor said, at the point when his body is taken away, his soul must be transferred to another clone.
But for some reason, the emperor and I were now sharing this body. Of course, that’s not what’s important.
I need to go up to the second floor quickly. The tower is collapsing. The first floor of the tower is being destroyed.
[It might not be bad…]
“No. You bastard, can’t you hear me? “I have to go up to the second floor!?”
The emperor’s voice seemed very satisfied.
The emotions of this damn bitch are vividly conveyed. I was feeling the utmost happiness that this guy was now connected to me.
Good night. Everything is good. It doesn’t matter whether you’re happy to share one body with me or not. I wish you could tell me how to get up to the second floor quickly.
“Oh! The ceiling is collapsing!!!”
The ceiling collapsed. I rolled forward and dodged with all my might, and soon pitch black darkness appeared beyond the open ceiling.
The emperor is still muttering to himself and imagining happiness. I’m going crazy.
No, I have no idea what this bitch is thinking. Didn’t you come here to kill me in the first place? Why did he come to Shangri-La? What is the purpose?
I have no idea.
Judging from his actions, it is clear that he came to attack me. If you think about it, all he wanted to do was fuck me.
There is even an emperor who is satisfied with the fact that they are together even though his body has been taken away.
I don’t know. Man, this is strange.
Ugh, the floor is collapsing.
[To go to the second floor, you need to find the red door.]
“Red door?”
[Okay. Red door.]
As I ran aimlessly to avoid the collapsing floor, the emperor finally came to his senses and showed me how to go up to the second floor.
He must have told me that I thought he was strange. I think it showed me how to get up before it looked even weirder.
“For now, let’s keep running!!!”
Hehe. Okay…]
“Wow, shit.”
The emperor’s voice whispering in my ear gave me goosebumps.
This guy is really enjoying himself right now.
“There’s nothing left.”
[It looks like the extermination force has swept away.]
There was silence on the first floor, as if everything had already ended. No, it is far from quiet.
There was only the sound of the tower collapsing. There were no screams or cries from the living.
There are many dead bodies and traces of Manma everywhere. Ashes and unquenched flames were burning the mold and mushroom people.
It was easy to predict what happened.
I ran quickly to see if there were any survivors, but now there were only me and the emperor on the first floor of the tower.
“They burned it all down.”
Traces of parasites must have been left behind by my companions. No matter how much I expanded my senses, I couldn’t catch anyone.
Everyone must have already left the first floor. It must have gone up.
There was nothing to do on the first floor. There has to be someone alive to talk to or kill.
This was a feast that had already ended.
I followed the flames and found the red door.
“Is this right?”
[Right. You will be able to go up to the second floor.]
I heard the sound of a wall exploding behind me.
The sound of shattering destruction gets closer and closer. Soon this place will collapse too.
Before that, let’s go up.
******
The emperor’s extermination unit and the climbers of the White Castle Tower encountered on the second floor.
They were preparing to go upstairs once again to catch the women of Manma who had escaped to the third floor.
The first floor of the tower is literally a preparation process to get people used to the space called the tower. You are given a very simple trial where you just have to find the door.
In fact, it is not something that can even be called an ordeal. All you have to do is find the door, open it, and get out within 10 hours.
Even the second floor of the tower is not a very difficult ordeal.
As long as you find all the signs on the second floor within 3 hours, you are eligible to go up to the third floor.
The first and second floors were literally just a rest area for climbers.
The problem is on the 3rd floor. The tower’s difficulty increases rapidly from the third floor. Also, it was possible to level up from the 3rd floor.
“There is a forest on the third floor of the tower. The enemies that appear are mainly the tower’s guardians. “We have to take the object they are guarding and go to the next floor.”
“If there’s just one problem…”
The third floor of the tower has the characteristic of becoming wider as there are more climbers.
Even if only 100 people enter, it becomes ridiculously large and more and more hostile creatures appear.
The forest on the third floor even robs climbers of their energy, and those who lose more than a certain amount of energy and fall into a state of exhaustion begin to see nothing.
“Those who see nothing become unable to distinguish between friend and foe, and become so overcome with fear that they soon commit suicide or sacrifice themselves to the forest.”
“If at least 20 people lose their lives in the forest, a guardian from the third floor will appear.”
“What happens when the guardian appears?”
“Everyone will die.”
The guardian of the third floor is a medium made of jade and a being who conveys the will of the tower.
If he crawled out, the third floor could be considered an area that was impossible to attack.
“The guardian on the third floor has unique abilities.”
“You mean a special ability?”
“Okay. Ability to change the environment of the floor. He will use it to kill all the climbers on the third floor.”
The third floor of Baekaseong Tower is a closed space. When rainwater begins to rise, the entire third floor eventually becomes submerged.
Unless there are people who can breathe underwater, everyone will drown. If a guardian appears on the third floor, acid rain will be sprinkled, and within 3 hours, the rain will fill up and everyone will die.
Even if you can breathe underwater, you must die in front of acid rain.
“So you have to move up to the elite few. If those women decide to hide and hide, they will be in big trouble. It would be better for 10 people to go up there and hunt those women while controlling the size of the forest so that it does not grow.”
“The rest will remain on the second floor and wait.”
“I understand first.”
Lien, the leader of the climbers, and Kaiman, the commander of the extermination unit, selected 10 people to climb up.
If more people go up, the size of the third floor expands and the probability of finding three women becomes much lower.
Therefore, only 10 people had to go up.
The problem is that it is not a situation where only 10 people can be promoted.
“Huh?”
Kwaaang-!!!!
The pillar in front exploded.
Soon, a ball of blood rolled in front of those gathered on the second floor.
“This, this…”
Meat dumplings made from dead climbers.
Soon they encountered a being walking out from behind a cloud of dust.
“Uh, that is.!!!”
“Your majesty. Your Majesty!!!”
The disappeared emperor has returned.
The emperor, who was expected to have gone upstairs, somehow appeared on the second floor. However, the appearance is quite strange.
A writhing lump was attached to the emperor’s body.
“Alien parasite!?”
“No! His Majesty is immune to alien parasites. “What on earth is that.?”
“It’s coming!!!!”
Before they had time to judge the situation, Jang Jo-Jun attacked with his skills.
The conference room suddenly turned into chaos. In front of the power of the ten thousand demons flying from all directions, the extermination unit mercilessly melted away, and the climbers began to climb to the third floor to survive.
“Your Majesty!!!!”
“Caiman!!! We must escape!!!”
“Oops!”
I don’t know if that’s really the emperor or not. One thing is certain: that being is attacking them, and it is incredibly dangerous.
Everyone who was discussing on the second floor began to go upstairs. A large-scale climbing incident occurred.
Even those who controlled access to the third floor could not stop it.
Hundreds of people climb upward simultaneously. Jang Jo-jun shouted as he watched them flee to the third floor.
“Hey!!! Where are you going!!! Mark!! “Tell me where the sign is!”
[I guess we’ll have to look for it ourselves…]
“Holy shit. “Where is it?”
As soon as Jang Jo-jun climbed the tower, he found three marks. There are two marks remaining.
The problem is that the second floor will soon collapse as well.
Kugugung-!!!!
The floor shook.
Just as the first floor of the tower collapsed, the second floor will soon be destroyed as well.
“Ugh. I’m going crazy. What happens if you get caught in a collapse?”
[There is a high probability that it will bounce off?]
“It’s going to bounce off?”
[Huh. Perhaps somewhere in the gap between space and time… It might actually be better? I wish there was a world where you and I could walk together holding hands. Get married and have children.]
“That’s terrible.”
Jang Jo-jun once fell through a gap in space and time.
When she went to pick up She Sha, she was blown into a world where men and women were reversed because of the Dragon King.
Thanks to this, my body was able to develop all its talents, but it wasn’t a very good experience anyway.
“Uh? “I found one over there!”
[Chet]
There is only one mark left.
It is said that the location changes every time, so if we all search together, we will be able to find it faster.
They all ran away before we could even talk.
[That’s right, if you attack first…]
“But you saw them take out their weapons! “If it wasn’t suppressed, the dialogue itself wouldn’t have taken place.”
[That is true.]
A convinced emperor.
Jang Jojun strangely felt that he had a good conversation with the emperor.
The emperor, who was determined to live with evil and evil, was in a state of satisfaction and detachment from everything as he was closely attached to Jang Jo-jun.
Thanks to this, I was able to agree with everything Jang Jo-jun said.
-Cow!!!
“Uh oh!!!!”
[The floor has collapsed.]
“What the fuck.!!!!”
Meanwhile, half of the second floor was blown away.
I see pitch black darkness. If you are blown through that gap, you will be sucked into the other side of space and time, where you don’t know how it came to be.
[But what if the mark has already disappeared in the collapse?]
“Hey Mr.!! “Don’t be such a dick!”
Jang Jo-jun spread his wings and continued to move up the second floor, avoiding the collapsing ceiling.
“I found it!!!!”
The final mark was engraved on the collapsed pillar. I flew away as if half my body was thrown down and touched the mark engraved on the pillar with my hand.
This is the end of the second floor ordeal.
“3rd floor!!!”
Soon his and her bodies were engulfed in light and metastasized.
I succeeded in going up to the 3rd floor just before the 2nd floor collapsed.
