Chapter 273 – 272. It’s Natural to Wear a Ring on Your Finger
“Hmm…”
It’s a pretty solid wall.
It is so hard that no one can break it.
And not just solid ones.
Non-woven-
“Kuh..!”
As soon as I knocked on the wall, an ominous black electrical current aimed at me poured out from the transparent wall.
I quickly blocked the mana, and I was fine, but if I hadn’t blocked it, it was clear that I would have been greatly electrocuted.
Probably the magic hanging to prevent harm to the wall…
What is the fact that there is a wall made of this magic?
I’m 99% sure that treasure exists beyond these walls.
The mysterious magic that I had been feeling all along was also strongly felt on the other side of the wall.
The treasure is right in front of you, so even doing this here is a waste of time.
Gather magic in your hands to destroy this wall that doesn’t look like an ordinary wall.
Immediately after that, black currents came out of the wall.
“…Does it respond to magic?”
Even if I avoided it, black currents flying at high speed attacked my body.
Gripping support-
“It’s big… It’s tingling.”
If mana hadn’t been wrapped around the body, the body would have been fried by a higher voltage than expected.
Although the black current crackled violently as if trying to penetrate my mana.
Even so, I can’t pierce my mana.
While wearing an eerie black electric current that makes the whole body go numb.
“Suck!”
– Damn it! Jump-!
At once, the mana-loaded sword strike shatters the wall.
When I broke the wall, the force of the black currents attacking my body weakened and soon disappeared.
Uh… The dog is solid.
Even with magic, the walls were so hard that they wouldn’t break easily.
If it had been hit without magic, it wouldn’t have broken.
But now that the wall is gone…
“Shall we go find the treasure?”
＊＊＊
There are numerous guilds in the tower.
A guild of merchants who do business in the tower, a guild created to protect the weak, and a guild gathered to cooperate to climb the tower, which is the purpose of climbers.
There are many guilds with many purposes and people gathered in the tower here.
And among them, one of the largest guilds in the tower
Guild Asgard.
“Did you find the treasure?”
“Yes, Lord Odin.”
And Odin, the master of such a guild, was sitting on a huge chair and receiving information about the treasure brought by the guild’s informants.
“Then why didn’t you bring the treasure? Could it be that this Odin stole the treasure he was aiming for…”
Odin’s forehead narrows and veins stand out on his arms.
The bloody aura felt with him.
“Ugh…!”
The informant immediately lowered his head and calmed his trembling body as much as possible before shouting.
“No, it’s not like that. Lord Odin…!”
“Then hurry up and make an excuse for not bringing the treasure.”
At Odin’s angry voice, Asgard’s informant trembled and explained.
“A transparent wall was blocking it?”
“Yes. Other personnel tried to attack the wall in order to break it, but those who attacked the wall quickly turned to ashes and died due to the black current flowing from the wall.”
“Hmm..”
When Odin listens to the informant, he thinks, brushing his chin lightly.
Even though he was an informant, his guild members turned to ashes at once and died.
Even so, he could not give up the treasure of the Tower.
Although many people misunderstand, the number of floors in the tower does not matter if the treasure suddenly appears.
Since the treasure was not from the Tower, but from another place, it was unknown what kind of ability or power it would be.
What if a treasure with ridiculous abilities falls into the hands of another hostile guild?
It was something that should never have happened to Odin.
“Call Thor.”
“You mean the lady..?”
“For electric current, Thor, who controls lightning magic, is perfect. Hurry and call me.”
At Odin’s command, the informant spurns his seat quickly.
Then I went to the room where Thor was at the guild hideout and immediately knocked on the door with a deep breath.
Smart tock-
“Who are you?”
“I came here on the orders of Odin.”
“..Come in.”
With Thor’s permission, the informant opens the door and enters the room.
When I entered the room, I saw Thor, who was sweating and wearing wet clothes, as if he had just been training.
With vibrant black hair tied back to one side.
A face that could be thought of as that of a goddess, and a perfect body that protrudes from where it should protrude and goes inside as if it was created by God himself.
But at the same time, she has the same charisma as a strong female warrior.
Gulp.
The informant involuntarily swallowed at Thor’s appearance.
“Tell me what your father ordered.”
“Ahhh. Odin told me to call Thor right away.”
“You mean right now?”
“Yes, yes..!”
“…”
I don’t know why, but in the eyes of the informant, Thor’s eyebrows seemed to frown for a moment.
Thor said, wiping his sweat with a towel.
“Let’s get ready and leave soon.”
Thor, who came out in less than ten minutes.
Again and again-
Unlike her defenseless outfit earlier, she was completely dressed in armor.
After defeating the informant, I walked alone toward Odin’s residence.
Then, as soon as he faced Odin sitting arrogantly in his chair, Thor immediately bowed his legs and bowed his head.
“Did you call? Father.”
“Yes, yes, my daughter Thor. It’s okay, so stand up.”
Odin’s words lifted his bent legs and stood up.
Then look straight to Odin.
“May I ask what you called for?”
He asked why he had called him directly.
Odin rose from his chair at Thor’s question.
Then he slowly walked in front of Thor and grabbed Thor’s shoulder.
Thor flinched at Odin’s touch, but looked at Odin casually and waited for his words.
“I have something urgent for you to do for this father.”
Odin grinned at Thor.
＊＊＊
The deeper you go beyond the wall, the stronger the mysterious magical power felt at the same time as it gets darker.
And with him.
-Hook!
“Keuheek…”
“How many of them are there?”
Unknown monsters with black bodies appeared from the darkness and attacked me at every opportunity.
It’s not a horror game.
It appears the moment you look around or blink to take a quick look around.
What the hell is inside that makes these monsters come out?
Are they built to protect treasure, like walls?
Although there are many suspicious things, he continued to defeat the monster and moved forward.
And in the end, the surroundings are completely dark, and you can’t see an inch ahead.
I wonder if the monsters are attacking me again, so I walk while being wary of the surroundings.
By the way.
“Light..?”
A ray of light streaming from the front.
In the direction the light flows out, I also feel suspicious magic power, so I continue to follow the light, and the door through which the light leaks is suddenly erected.
There might be a trap, but I ignored it and opened the door.
What caught my eye the moment I opened the door.
“Is that the treasure?”
A small box with purple jewels embedded in a black background that looks like a treasure chest at first glance.
A box that steals my attention even though it looks bland.
The moment I walked towards such a box as if possessed and picked it up with my hand.
Huung-
“Oooooh..!”
The moment I looked back at the sign of aiming for my back, a black spear aimed at my neck and swung around.
I react right away, roll backwards to avoid it, and then confirm the identity of the attacker.
It’s that monster.
And the shapeless monster I saw earlier holding a black spear continued to wield the spear, as if very angry.
Woo-woo-woo-!
Fast..!
The power of the spear he wields seems to be formidable, but the speed is so fast that it cannot be compared to other black monsters.
And, unlike other monsters, you can see that it has a huge body and is wearing armor..
“Is it like a boss guarding treasure?”
“Crrrr..”
There seemed to be no such thing as intellect or reason.
It seems like they are attacking me only to protect the treasure.
Like this.
“Kreuuuk!”
As soon as I held out the treasure chest towards the spear I wielded, it immediately stopped attacking.
If it had been someone else who came here, he would have used this treasure chest to defeat this savage monster…!
– Kwajik!
He swung his sword at a speed that the black monster couldn’t even react and cut off his head in one go.
A black monster with a missing head.
As if the function had stopped, he held the spear and didn’t attack like before, just standing tall.
Watch the monster stop and check the treasure chest.
There are no keyholes.
It looks like the kind of treasure chest that doesn’t really need a key, but it won’t open even if you pull it pretty hard.
I was just trying to force it to break it.
Whiik-
“Whoops!”
A monster that attacks me again with its head missing.
It really makes my heart beat with a sudden surprise.
“You were surprised. What kind of durahan is this… Go!”
-Suddenly!
I can’t forgive that monster that made my heart beat like this even though we’re not having sex.
Dullahhan or whatever, he completely cut the black monster this time so that it could never happen again.
After confirming that the black monster was completely dead by touching it with its feet,
The moment you apply a little force to open the box again.
Click-
“Yes?”
The thing that didn’t open even with force earlier opens easily with a little force.
Was it a structure in which the box was opened only after defeating the boss monster?
I just want you to be kind enough to tell me about this.
You almost destroyed the intact box.
Still, I opened the box completely to see what was inside.
And what you see
Ring…?
Inside the box was a dark purple ring with a monotonous shape, which was the cause of the strange magical power and the treasure.
A hideous feeling… I feel a similar feeling from the ring when I first met the demon in the past.
“…”
A suspicious looking ring.
The energy flowing from the ring seemed to warn me not to wear this ring at all, but…
Swoop-
Ignoring that, I put the ring on my ring finger.
I couldn’t stop my curiosity as to what kind of anti-ring device it was emitting such a vicious aura.
I thought the ring was a little big on my finger,
“Oh oh..?”
It has been resized to fit the size of the ring finger.
And…
…Is everything okay?
Nothing happens except the size of the ring changes to fit my finger.
On the contrary, the vicious aura that I felt when I wore the ring disappeared,
That time when you look around at the ring on your hand, wondering what kind of ring it is.
“Are you the one who woke me up?”
A sound that suddenly resonates throughout your head.
After looking around to find out where the sound came from, let’s look at the ring on the ring finger again.
Smooth smooth..
Black smoke began to pour out of the ring.
Should I call it smoke or call it a cloud?
Anyway, the black smoke that started leaking out of the ring started to gather together,
“I asked if you woke me up.”
A voice coming from a cloud of smoke.
And the owner of the voice appeared in the smoke.
