Stuck in The Tower

Chapter 217: To meet on the top

What are you talking about?

It’s been over 10 years since you’ve been taught by Hegrik?

Is it possible? It’s been 13 years since the tower was built.

This doesn’t make any sense…

“From the outside, it must have been about 8 years since I entered the Tower. Time flies, doesn’t it?”

“Isn’t that enough when large guilds were just starting to take root?”

“Oh yes. Because I was about to proceed with the Safer policy.”

Did he come to the Tower five years after the Cataclysm?

The beginning of the cataclysm, which was Muju Gongsan, until 4 years. After about 12 years of reorganization, the current society was created.

It’s ridiculous and I can’t even laugh.

I would never have thought that someone who climbed the mountain would have been stuck in a place like this even before Baekhwan came out.

Could it be a lie?

Let’s do a simple test.

“Let me ask you one thing. How many goblins are on the first floor?”

“Let’s see. It’s been so long I can’t remember. There must have been three of them.”

sure with this

If you ate baekhwan, it’s normal if you don’t have memories of the tutorial section.

“Your brother seems to have just entered the tower.”

“It must have been half a year. It hasn’t been a year.”

It is impossible to know for sure because the concept of time is not accurate.

I’m guessing it wasn’t like this.

Having said that, it’s pretty fast.

It’s not just me. After the strategy spread, the overall climbing speed increased.

“Hey, just fast. It took me over 4 years to get to the 50th floor. is there any star? It was before we even knew what the tower was like, so we had no choice but to try it while breaking our heads.”

difference in information.

Now, everyone has less distance from monsters, but it wasn’t like that at the time.

monsters feared. Because they were the things that brought mankind down the food chain.

After a while, the trend changed only after the Hunter world was activated and stories about monsters and towers spread through the media and the Internet.

Right now, I was the only one preparing to receive the call of the tower, collecting data and exercising.

Early hunters like Park Jae-kyung came in unprepared.

Climbing the tower with no place to rely on and no place to trust in an unfamiliar environment was a great thing in itself.

“Don’t look at me with those eyes. Because I am no land.”

“Who said what?”

It’s strange, it’s strange.

If you think objectively, he is one of the hunters on the 50th floor.

Strength is above average. Maybe it’s just me or the members.

Didn’t Hegrick tell you?

It’s stupid, so it’s strong.

I actually tried to catch the 6-star monster Binggeuk Taewoong.

If it wasn’t for me, I would have caught it alone.

“I don’t know if everyone went up well. You should be out by now.”

“Is anyone up with you?”

“There are kids I met on the 30th floor, and kids I met on the safe zone. I don’t know how it is now, but back then there weren’t many people. We worked hard while sharing information with each other. There were also bad guys.”

No matter what, the person who will be expelled will be expelled.

Due to the nature of the tower, it is impossible for everyone to go up without dropping out.

Rather…

‘In the early days, everyone worked together to come up.’

Come to think of it, this is normal.

How did it come to be like this?

Tsk. It’s just a little bit of tongue-in-cheek.

“The Perennial Frost Crystal is over there. It’s called crystal, but it’s not harsh, it’s just the body. You can probably draw scratches on the crystal.”

Jaekyung Park pointed to one side.

snow mountain.

A huge cliff is visible beyond where the trees fell.

The snow piled up and the water froze, and now it has become a piece of ice.

Is it somewhere over there?

“There is a monster that guards the crystal called Perpetual Snow, but if it’s you, you won’t be worried.”

“Good. I should have caught him anyway.”

“Ugh. Grab something like that and write it somewhere. I don’t even want to eat that.”

Why do you think you will eat it?

One of the quest materials Rilka gave me was his tongue, so I’m going to catch it.

done. Because this guy will eat monsters soon.

More than that…

“Hey, it’s not even new anymore. How are you all the same?”

“Hmm? What are those catches?”

How long has it been since you moved, can you already see the killing squad?

Anyway, I can’t see them clearing it finely.

If there’s one thing that catches your eye.

“Joe is there, Perpetual Snow. Do you have to catch that one? Once you die, it will only come out in a week.”

“It’s halfway there.”

That there is a permanent snowman among the fighting group.

“I didn’t tell you before, but it is said that ice caps are very strong near crystals. It’s normal for multiple teams to rush in, let the unlucky ones become the bait, and let the rest pass.”

“It does look like it.”

We are standing on top of a hill.

I saw a crystal embedded in the ice wall, and I saw an ice cap wandering around with vigilance, perhaps to protect it.

A strange shape that looks like a mixture of ice grains and shadows.

Its overall appearance is similar to that of a human, but it has beast-like fangs and claws.

“Hmm.”

I only looked at it for a moment, but the fighting power is amazing.

Every time he swings his arm at a climber entering the area, his armor is blown away.

The Slayers took advantage of that.

Being organized and pushing people into his territory.

In front, behind the slaughter group, is a perpetual snow demon.

Among the people who are being attacked by them, there are people wearing a petit union belt.

Although he was active, he was struggling due to a numerical inferiority.

That would be the case too…

“The slayers have also begun to move in an organized manner. It’s a mix of Chinese and Indian.”

After the union issued an order to kill them, the victims began to work together.

They are already comparable to rookies in a large guild.

“A slaughter group? what else is that The frog in the well is done. I wonder why I hear everything I hear for the first time.”

“It’s natural that you don’t know. Because it wasn’t there when you were there.”

It’s a fact that I only found out after I entered the 50th floor in the first place.

It is even more strange that Park Jae-kyung, who climbed the tower before a large guild was established, knew.

At least if it was a community, it would have been different, but this guy is an analog guy who doesn’t do community.

“You can roughly think of them as those who prevent climbers from going up. I also had a fight with those guys.”

“In a word, trash is good.”

-Cherry Leuk

Park Jae-kyung takes out five spears from his inventory.

One on the hand and the other on the back.

“Brother, take care of your business. I’ll take care of that one. They are pure bad guys.”

“I will leave that to you.”

I was wondering what to do, thanks for your help.

Try to figure out how good Park Jae-kyung’s skills are.

“One room at a time.”

The guy who picked up the spear on his back threw it.

It looked simple, but it was a blow with three overlapping skills.

– Poo soup!

One of the killers was pierced through and flew away.

Power is good.

then.

“I have to take care of my errands too.”

After confirming that Park Jae-kyung was running towards the enemy camp, I also ran.

The goal is perpetual snow.

[Perpetual Snow Ghost]

-6-star monster

-I am guarding the Perennial Frost Crystal.

-In the crystal area, stats are greatly enhanced.

-Has ice and dark attributes.

“It’s Evil Eye!”

“Damn it, pay attention to the guy in front of you!”

did you find me Slayers and allies respond.

I’m sorry, but I’m a bit busy right now, so I can’t reply.

Why…..

“Oh!”

Because one of the climbers was pushed back and entered the realm of the ice cap.

“Kihyaaaa!”

The guy who jumps at the climber as it is.

The obsession with the territory is amazing.

That means soon…..

“The field of view is getting narrower as well.”

-Goo-gu-gu-gung!

Advance through tunnel travel.

At the same time as he soared upward, he pulled the climber and thrust his sword at him.

SS-class Power Unyielding Sword Demon and Cutting.

Bite effect of Artifact Devourer’s Gum.

There.

[Love and Peace (AA) Lv.3]

-Fuhuaaaaak!

I even stabbed the guy’s neck with divine power.

“Kiheaaaagh!”

A shadow bursting out like a vein of blood.

Let’s continue the attack without delay.

[Buff Dice (A) Lv. 8]

[1]

[Sense of Pressure]

The buff didn’t come out very good, but it doesn’t matter.

Because the number left is overflowing.

first.

“Ghosts are best when they fight each other.”

[Obsessed Specter (AA) Lv.1]

“Kihehehehehehe!”

A specter who once built up his skills while working with Deodeok!

Two ghosts collide.

The guys let out ear-piercing screams and drive their claws and teeth at each other.

Apparently, the specter is pushed back due to its low rating, but what if this is it?

[Iris of the Abyss (A) Lv. 8]

A demon’s pupil that reveals itself as the space is torn apart.

It was aiming at the perpetual snow.

“How tall are you?”

For an instant, the guy’s body stiffened.

Powerful mind attack. Even 6-star monsters are easy to get caught in if they don’t have mental protection.

Without missing a momentary opportunity, the specter clings to him.

“Kiaaaaaagh!”

It seems that there is a lot of resentment that has accumulated over the years when you let go of your throat and shout.

yes i know your heart

Have you been having a hard time?

“I’ll let you go comfortably!”

[Soul Tearing (S) Lv.2]

-Chiihiiik!

clean without pain.

lowered the sword

“Kiaaaaaagh!”

“Kiyaaaaaagh!”

The moment the specter, obsessed with the perennial snowman, let out a mournful cry, I swung my sword once more.

[Slaughter (A) Lv. 9]

Dirty.

His tongue was cut off and he fell to the floor.

“Geek!”

Deokchun quickly ran and took care of his tongue.

Nice catch.

I’ll take care of what I need. You don’t need to adjust your power.

The finish is too.

[Fire Bomb (AAA) Lv.5]

[Love and Peace (AA) Lv.3]

-Quaaaaaaang!

Divine Explosion!

A pure white glow and red flames cover the space.

The melted ice and snow evaporated at once, and the dark sky brightened for a moment.

“Oops! what!”

“My eyes!”

Even those who fought from behind had no choice but to cover their eyes.

when the light faded.

-Kuung Kugugugugung

Not only the ice caps, but also the ice wall where the crystals were embedded were cracking and collapsing.

An alarm rising above me.

[The permanent frost crystal has suffered enormous damage.]

[Condition cleared!]

[A portal is created.]

[The permanent frost crystal’s durability has been exhausted.]

[The power of the permanent snow crystal that is created for one month is reduced. ]

Leaving only traces seems to have broken it in half.

Unintentional, but the results are good.

It meant that the power of the monsters blocking entry would be weakened.

This has been sorted out and what’s left.

“I’m done here too.”

“It’s fast.”

“Are you kidding me? If so, it doesn’t work for me. Hahahaha!”

If it wasn’t over, I tried to help.

You can tell just by looking at the traces of the battle.

‘It’s classic, but it’s strong.’

I didn’t use a particularly wide range of skills.

Holes all over the place just hint at what happened.

It feels like fighting with pure weapons.

I’ll have to watch more details.

“Thanks to you, I live.”

“Isn’t it Evileye? We heard a lot from the community.”

“Thank you for your help!”

Surviving climbers express their gratitude.

Didn’t do anything great.

It’s just a bunch of nasty bastards. In fact, Jo Jin is Park Jae-kyung.

“I am a Unionist too!”

“That’s right, speaking of the union… Do you accept foreigners?”

As the coalition person I rescued crawls out of the hole, several people show interest in the coalition.

will you accept it?

“Association is not something forced. If you like it, there are no special restrictions. It would be quicker to ask Lee Jun-seok for details.”

“Oh, then am I going to be the first foreigner? Anyway, I owe you.”

People who talk to me to see if the tension is relieved.

I am responding in moderation, but Park Jae-kyung sneaks back behind me and puts on a serious expression.

“Is your brother famous? Where are you staying? If I’m next to you, will some bean curd fall on me? It’s a sense of loyalty while eating a pot of rice.”

Why are Hegrik and this guy so arrogant? Is this why they are priests?

Why do noblemen who have the ability keep looking for bean curd?

“There’s no such thing as Kongo, it’s because it belongs to the coalition. It’s a place you can enter too. Do some community.”

“Uh. I hate complicated things.”

The guy who was washing his hands ponders for a moment.

“is not it. The world seems to have changed, so I will have to look around.”

“Good idea. Now, everyone, we have a schedule, so I think we should go up right away. Those who are injured, treat them with this and fight.”

It’s good to chat and play, but Jaekyung Park and I have work to do.

I have to keep climbing and in two days I get an invitation from Helldying Kitchen.

You have to prepare before that.

I gave him some potions and headed for the portal.

You can go up like this.

“Isn’t your portal somewhere else?”

“right. Because I stayed for a month and a portal was created.”

It’s just a moment, but I have to separate from Park Jae-kyung.

I left a mark on the crystal, and he satisfied the clear conditions by staying on the 53rd floor for a long time.

There will be a separate portal for Jaekyung Park.

“Even if they go up at the same time, it won’t matter because the location where they fall is random. We have to find a way to meet on the 54th floor.”

“That’s right.”

“So that’s what I mean.”

Park Jae-kyung holds out his hand.

“At this point, the community decided to do it, so please tell me your nickname. Then we can go up to the 54th floor and check where each other is.”

“I see…”

Wait a minute.

What’s your nickname?
