Chapter 694 – 694. If You Want to Live, Go Into the Coffin.
“Ugh…”
When I opened my eyes, what I saw were countless coffins.
Coffin?
“What, here. “Where are you?”
Why was I lying in the coffin?
No way…
‘Was the real body stored separately like this?’
It feels like I entered the backstage through some unexpected route.
As soon as they entered the tower, the original body was taken out and placed in a coffin.
“Wow, it hurts.”
As I relaxed and stood up from the coffin, the other coffins also began to shake.
They will wake up one by one.
Originally, he would have gone to the entrance of the tower rather than waking up here, but it seems like something went wrong as the tower collapsed.
“Now that I think about it…”
I think the evil spirits told me to make an offering for the first time in a while.
Should I make an offering for the first time in a while?
Most of the people here will be hostile to me anyway, and they will try to kill me first when they wake up from the coffin, so wouldn’t it be better to just kill them all and make an offering?
“Ouch…! W, where am I?”
“The tower collapsed.!”
“He must have died. Why are you in a coffin?”
People came out of the coffin.
There are people whose faces I have seen while wandering around the tower, and there are also people I have never seen before.
But when you look closely, don’t you think there are too many pipes?
The number of coffins… Was too numerous to count.
At the place where I woke up, there was a large endless circular passage to the left and right, and the circular passage was filled with coffins.
Looking at the sight of tubes lined up on the walls of the circular passage, including the floor and ceiling, it felt like a frozen capsule of a spaceship.
[Perhaps the people who used up all three lives are still locked in the coffin.]
“Paimon.!! “You’re here!”
[Yes. I escaped safely.]
Paimon escaped from Caiman’s body and returned to me.
He said that most of the people here are dead after using up the three lives the tower gave them.
It seems like the structure was such that if you used up all 3 lives, you would just be trapped here.
But now the tower has collapsed and all those trapped have awakened.
‘Even if you actually die, the body that the tower created is dead. The main body was constantly being used here as if it were an auxiliary battery.’
Almost all the magical energy in my body was gone right away.
The bodies of those who entered the tower were sent here and used as biological batteries for producing magic power.
That’s crazy… No wait. TOP did this?
‘No, the tower is a place where the soul returns. There is no need to extract magical power.’
So, isn’t it the work of someone else who discovered this place?
Come to think of it, it was said that if you were caught up in the collapse of the tower, you would be expelled from the tower.
This is outside the tower. Although it is a tight space with no visible way out. In any case, somewhere outside the tower.
‘I can’t feel the emperor, but…’
The Emperor and Caiman probably fled at the same time as the tower collapsed. There are other people here who couldn’t escape.
Ha-eun and the others who escaped before the collapse must have returned to Shangri-La.
So is this the basement of Shangri-La? Or a completely different dimension?
-Shit!!! What on earth is going on!!
As I was thinking about how to get out, someone soon came in here.
The distance was quite far, so I had to listen closely to hear its voice.
-Rotten!! A sudden collapse! My top!!! My top!!!!
It’s a cracking voice that’s uncomfortable to listen to.
When I looked at it, it looked similar to a Parisian monster like Perpero.
Is it the Yi tribe?
‘That guy is the guy who was stealing magic power here. What were they doing with the magic power of so many people?’
I became very curious.
A guy who became a parasite in the tower and lived by extracting the magic power of those trapped here.
In fact, you can just explode the head, kill it, make an offering, and then go out, but you can’t just go out if there seems to be something.
“Kwaaah!!! Save me!!!!”
“Where am I!!!”
Soon the coffin will be shattered.
All those who were trapped will crawl out.
Let’s take a look at how that guy will respond.
-Damn it!
As I was looking closely, he pulled out something from his arms.
‘Uh? That.’
Where have I seen this?
Perhaps it was a simple warp machine used by Jillian.
A remote control for warp that can only be moved to designated locations.
It’s probably connected to that damn workshop.
‘You’re not just trying to run away, are you?’
I watched a little longer, and then he opened the warp and went over.
You can’t miss it like this. I immediately fixed the warp he fell through.
“Ugh, ugh!!! What!!!”
“Gotcha, you guy.”
“Eeeee!!!”
When I entered the Yi people’s workshop, a musty, rotten smell came out.
It’s full of all kinds of things, so it’s a dizzying sight just looking at it. It’s somewhat like a black market…
“Huh?”
It’s a black market here.
“What are you?”
“Oh, no. That is.”
A guy from the Yi tribe lying face down on the floor.
He begged for my hand and asked for my forgiveness.
“I don’t know why you were there!!! First, I’m sorry!”
“No, why is the black market connected? What on earth is going on?”
I don’t understand.
It’s strange that the bodies of those who entered the tower are sent to such a dark place.
It’s also a bit strange that a black marketeer in the middle was using it as a magical energy store.
“Well, that’s… It’s a bit of a long story, but…”
Perhaps unable to withstand the pressure, the Yi clan member told the story.
Go back in time, to the time when the black market was still a resting place for the Yi people who had no place to go.
So, it is said that this guy has been living in the black market even before the black market was destroyed by the Dragon King’s tricks.
“My job was to supply power to the black market… Because I was good at technology, I was able to make a living.”
However, it is said that I intervened in the black market in earnest, and Hell’s technology was distributed in the black market, and the guy had nowhere to go.
“So I started a new business… That is.”
There is no law that guarantees that business will do well.
His store was on the verge of bankruptcy, and when he lowered his electricity bill, he looked like he was going to end up on the street.
“Then by chance… I found this place…”
“Is this what happened to magical power theft?”
“Yes… They seem like they are not going to be released anyway… I just sucked them in just enough, so they wouldn’t die…”
Even though I had to pay the electricity bill, I still used it for various things.
“How much magic attribute can it absorb?”
“Well. That’s it. First, the time axis of the black market and the place I named Coffin in the Barrel over there are a bit different…”
The black market was also incorporated into the abyss and received the blessing of time speedup.
However, in the place where the coffins are lined up in a row, which this guy named the coffin in the barrel, time passes as it is in real life.
“So, magic power theft occurs every two months.”
“Yeah, right…”
“What that means is that with one day’s worth of magic power that can be produced from a tube in a barrel, you can get enough to use as much as you want for two months.”
“Yes. That’s right.”
“Wow, how much can you extract?”
“Well… There were so many people locked up…”
“What if we keep locking them up?”
“Yes?”
“Those guys over there. Let’s keep him locked up and extract his magic power. “This is an opportunity that doesn’t come often.”
“Wow, definitely.! That’s right!”
“Good. “You can manage that, right?”
“Yes.!!! For several years on the black market, I have been researching how to extract and eat them most reliably. All the data is here. And if the one in the coffin dies or disappears, how to replace it…”
“You passed.”
“Huh.!”
“Starting tomorrow, go to work at the research building. Helus will issue the pass.”
“Thank you!!!!”
Even if they are from the Yi tribe, useful people should be hired.
I never would have thought that there was someone in a place I didn’t know who was stealing so cheaply. This too is an ability. He even has a personality suitable for the Battle of Manma.
“Okay, then we have to stop our excellent magical energy suppliers from escaping.”
“Yes.!”
I went back into the coffin inside the barrel.
“Shit.! “Where am I?”
“He definitely died in the tower… But why…”
“Is this hell?”
There are a lot of embarrassed guys.
They were asking each other where they were.
I’ll probably find a way out soon.
“Okay then.”
I went out in front of the crowd that was starting to gather.
“Ah. Nice to meet you all.”
When I got their attention, the castaways in the tower looked at me with an expression like, ‘What is that kid doing?’
Among them, I saw several people whose faces turned pale when they recognized me.
“Now you have two options.”
“Wait, who are you? Why are you making such a fuss about giving me a choice? Do you want to die?”
The red-haired man asked while pointing a knife at me.
Those who didn’t recognize me either openly tried to kill me or stepped back as if on guard.
It’s laughable.
It was so ridiculous and similar that I laughed.
No, is it impossible to guess?
Are you challenging me even though I am clearly strong?
This isn’t spirit, it’s crazy.
Crazy dogs deserve to be beaten.
“Don’t interrupt.”
“Huh?”
The crime of interrupting a conversation.
I pulled out my hair.
You little brat who has only set foot in the realm of transcendence, how dare you cut off my words?
Do you think that if we stick together we are stronger?
I haven’t met a strong person of the world yet.
“He’s moving now. “I’m going to die.”
An abyss was laid. It sowed chaos.
Now I am at 100% state where I can use all my body’s power.
It is not a mass of tentacles like an idiot whose body was stolen by the emperor.
You can kill everyone here in 30 seconds.
“This, this…”
“Quaaa!!!”
Those who tried to resist are sucked into the abyss. It was eaten away by chaos and disappeared.
“Say it again. You have two options. Now, in this place, you can either be sacrificed. Or go back into the coffin and fall asleep.”
Either die or sleep forever.
You can choose one of the two.
“I’m going in.”
“Damn it… Just tell me how long I have to stay in…!”
“Well. It might come out someday.”
Those who don’t want to die go into the coffin.
Those who want to die, leave the coffin.
The proposition is strange, but there was no one here who couldn’t understand it.
Soon the coffin lid was opened and people entered.
Acquired the bionic magic generator.
