Chapter 688 – 688. If You Can’t Avoid It, Kill It.
Hundreds of people flowed into the third floor of the tower.
Those who urgently climbed to the third floor to avoid the disaster called Jang Jo-jun and the collapse of the second floor.
The more people enter, the more difficult the third floor becomes. As the level rose exponentially, it may have become impossible to attack until they were killed.
However, people had no time to think about that future. Death is right in front of your eyes, but shouldn’t you avoid the approaching blade first?
“You’re screwed.”
Climber representative Lien and extermination unit commander Kaiman.
The two people lamented as they watched the flood damage on the third floor.
The forest expressed joy at seeing the prey that had arrived.
As the forest expands, the spawn rate of monsters increases, and the objects that need to be collected must also become more difficult to find.
What’s more important is that the tower is collapsing.
“I definitely saw the second floor collapse. The third floor might collapse soon.”
“The apostle of the God of Disaster destroys everything wherever he goes.”
Caiman swept his face and recalled the apostle of ten thousand demons who had taken over the body of the emperor.
‘It was clearly His Majesty’s body.’
As soon as he saw it, he realized that it was the emperor’s new model equipped with Berserker mode.
In short, it must be said that the emperor did not ascend to the top, but was caught by the apostle of disaster on the first floor.
‘But the entire first floor would have been searched. Where on earth were you hiding? Above all, you can capture His Majesty so easily without a fight? There’s no way we didn’t notice that there was a battle…’
Everything was questionable. There was no correct information. It was too difficult to judge everything based on immediately visible phenomena.
“We are in a situation where we cannot hope for your Majesty’s help. “You have to escape on your own.”
“Just the two of us?”
“If it’s you and me, we can go up to the 5th floor at least.”
All you have to do is make an emergency escape from the 5th floor.
Once you start climbing, you have to go up to at least the 5th floor.
“Let’s get out from the 5th floor.”
“But isn’t there already a lot of monsters outside the tower?”
“But we can’t climb to the top just the two of us. It’s a place not even His Majesty could reach. There is no way the two of us can get there.”
“…”
The best way was to reach the top and escape to the desired location. However, the probability that Lien and Kaiman could climb to the top was close to 0.
The team members who were going to climb together were scattered, and they might all be killed on the third floor.
“5th floor. “Let’s just go up to the 5th floor.”
“I understand.”
There is no way. There was no other way to escape from Manma’s clutches other than making an emergency escape from the 5th floor and running to the Temple of Summoning.
******
“Ah…”
“Sniff… Sniff…”
“Seek… A sacrifice to awaken Him…”
People holding torches are walking through the forest.
They are the ghosts of the forest.
Monsters and wanderers on the third floor who wander in search of living sacrifices.
Originally, the wanderers were crawling out in groups of three, but now dozens of them were swarming around, looking for intruders and tearing their limbs apart.
Awakened people at level 20 who could not reach the level of transcendence had to engage in a war of attrition against them, and even if the wanderers were killed, they would continue to respawn, so fighting was actually a loss.
These are the guys that it’s best to avoid. If they encounter each other, the battle continues, and the longer the battle lasts, the more the climbers are consumed.
“David… Did you find the object.?”
“I haven’t found it yet. The forest has become so wide that objects cannot be caught in the detection range.”
Climbers tried to find objects to climb to the fourth floor.
If you find 5 objects and place them on the symbol, you can go up to the 4th floor. The problem is that the forest has become wider and the gaps between objects have also become larger.
You need to find 5 different types of objects, and hundreds of people came up to find all 5 different objects in the floodwaters on the 3rd floor, which had grown to the size of a forest of missing people, and transporting them to the top of the symbol was almost crazy.
“Let’s move for now. Try not to encounter those guys as much as possible.”
David, Rebecca, and Maki moved to avoid encountering wanderers wandering the forest.
This is because if you stay in one place for too long, you lose energy faster.
“More than that… Isn’t the forest too dark?”
“It must be because there are a lot of people. “As the number of people increases, the forest environment becomes more severe.”
“If this continues, I feel like I won’t be able to see an inch in front of me…”
-Kyaaaaa!!!!!
“… Fuck.”
“What did you just say…”
“It sounded like screaming. Someone must have died. Or…”
Either crazy.
If you lose your energy to the forest, your spirit will be broken. He becomes a madman and goes on a rampage, and before he knows it, wanderers surround him and tear his limbs apart.
Or commit suicide before that.
As the dead pile up, the guardian of the third floor awakens.
A being made of jade. A monster that will fill the third floor with acid solution.
“We have to find the object quickly.”
David increased his speed.
If he uses his search skills, he will be able to find the object in at least 2 hours.
Kugugung!!!
The problem is that the third floor will collapse before then.
The second floor completely collapsed, and the impact was felt up to the third floor.
The ground cracked and darkness began to flow out.
“No, why is this like this again?”
“If you step on it, you’ll get screwed, so avoid it… Ugh!”
David’s back was pierced by liquid flying from somewhere.
An unexpected attack. David, whose chest was punctured by the blow, fell into the collapsed hole and disappeared, and Rebecca and Marky, who quickly became guides, shouted as they saw those running behind them.
“Rebecca!!”
“Run! They are crazy!! Run!!!”
People who had gone crazy after having all their energy sucked by the forest were running towards them with weapons in hand.
The moment you get caught, you won’t be able to just die. Rebecca and Micah had to rush forward without even having time to mourn David’s death.
Without even knowing where they were going.
******
I arrived at the 3rd floor just in the nick of time.
A notification window appears in front of you as soon as you arrive.
——
[Third floor of the tower]
「12,456th curse」
-Hunt the Guardian
*The third floor will collapse soon.
——
“Guardian hunting? Hey, emperor. “What is this?”
[Huh? Ah, that. Was there 30 people? Isn’t it? There were 20 people. Anyway, you can make an offering.]
“To make an offering?”
[Okay. If you catch and kill anyone wandering around, the guardian of the third floor will appear.]
According to the emperor’s information, it seems that the guardian of the third floor will appear only if the intelligence is killed.
Wow!!
“Before the third floor collapses.”
You must summon the guardian of the third floor and kill him.
[It comes just in time.]
Someone was running this way.
Judging by the movement, it looks like two women and dozens of hunters chasing them.
“I guess I can just kill them all.”
I took a breath.
“Lulue.”
It’s a skill starter that I haven’t shouted in a really long time.
After the second awakening, I just used the skill as if I was breathing, but originally, I shouted the starter word like this.
Soon the outstretched arms turned into tentacles and caught those approaching.
Chuhwaak!!!!
“Ugh!!!!”
“Awesome!!!!!”
Two women running this way and 20 humans chasing them to kill them.
The faces of the guys chasing the women are strange.
[These are people who lost their energy in the forest and went crazy.]
“If I kill these guys, will my level go up?”
[No. You have to kill five tower guardians guarding the object to reach level 26?]
“Is the guardian of the third floor different from the guardian of the tower?”
[It’s different. The guardian of the third floor…]
As I listened to the emperor’s explanation, I had a rough idea of what the tower required of me.
“You mean to kill them all.”
It seems to mean to kill not only the tower’s intruders but also the tower’s guardians and then climb up.
Anyway, after today, Shangri-La’s White Castle Tower will be completely destroyed. It seems like the intention is to decorate the finale extravagantly.
“What floor did you say you went up to?”
[7th floor. I couldn’t go any higher than that. Because the difficulty level is too high.]
“Hmm. “I said it seemed like there were up to 10 floors.”
[That’s right. There is no level growth until the second floor. Starting from the 3rd floor, the level went up by one.]
That’s probably why the emperor who rose to the 7th floor was able to achieve level 30.
‘If you go all the way up to the 10th floor, which is considered the top…’
But wait a minute.
Do I really have to climb all the way up this tower?
Why do I have to become a janitor just like TOP wants?
In fact, the goal of coming to Shangri-La has already been achieved.
‘The emperor and his minions came in to make trouble so that I couldn’t level up. My goal wasn’t actually conquering the tower.’
How did I come to want to climb to the top of the tower?
Could it be that my thinking was being guided in the direction that TOP wanted?
If that’s the case, I have no reason to move as the tower wants.
“You said emergency escape was possible from the 5th floor, right?”
[That’s right. If you get to the 5th floor, you can go outside.]
“Even if we go out, the tower will collapse anyway. So, there’s no need to be a bitch about climbing to the top. Just raise your level somewhere else.”
[Why? No, wait a minute. Wasn’t our goal to climb to the top?]
“No. Why is it ‘our’ goal? That’s just your opinion. My goal was to fuck you. The goal is achieved when Shangri-La is destroyed. Exit from the 5th floor.”
[Now, wait a minute. So… Are we breaking up again?]
“Of course, dude. We are not some kind of couple. Why do you want to stay together when you are enemies? And why should I share this useless body with you? Let’s go the right way. Huh?”
[Useless body…]
The emperor seemed very shocked by my words.
[I don’t like it.]
“Huh? “What?”
[I don’t want to break up like this. We need to stay closer.]
“What bullshit…”
[I mean. I found something quite interesting inside. If you pull this…]
“Now, wait a minute. This crazy bitch!!!!”
Click.
The moment she pulled something, her consciousness was blown.
The emperor who did something in my unconsciousness.
At that moment, control of her body passed to her.
‘This is…’
Big monitor. No, is it a glass window?
I can see outside. A place like a spaceship cockpit.
This must be part of my surface consciousness. Were you looking outside from a place like this?
I feel like my gaze is being monitored through a monitor. Yes, now I have been taken over by the emperor.
“Up to the 10th floor… We are together…”
You damn bitch. Your eyes are strange.
I had a strong feeling that it was wrong.
‘If things continue like this, it’s really a forced date all the way to the 10th floor.’
How much time will it take?
I don’t know. It seemed like this crazy woman would do anything to stay with me for a long time.
They will probably climb up to the 10th floor to hold out until the tower collapses.
‘That’s right, the tower is the only place where you can be this close to me.’
The moment I leave the tower, I return to my original body.
So, if you want to hold on as long as you can to stay with me, you have no choice but to go up.
The emperor cast a time delay, and I had to do something to stop it.
‘What I can do now…’
I closed my eyes and concentrated.
‘Reach…’
It fired mental waves indiscriminately at those in close range.
The content is simple.
The story was that the collapse of the tower would only end if the emperor was killed.
‘Let’s die sometime.’
If you die, just resurrect again and that’s it. It’s not like the body dies anyway. Furthermore, it doesn’t matter if the tentacle body dies.
‘Resurrection is free up to 3 times anyway.’
And when he is resurrected, he will be away from this bitch.
Then, you can escape on your own.
In order to escape this crazy, obsessed woman, I had to die.
