Stuck in The Tower

Episode 692 Worried about leaving?

“K-hab!”

“Naaaaaaaa!”

“Oh shit!”

Each one of them wakes up screaming in despair.

I don’t know when I’ve been lying on the floor, but I’m fluttering around like a fish coming out of land.

A bald man in cold sweat touches his neck and Nyangpun takes out a golden hammer from his arms and looks around.

He’s rubbing his temples and frowning as if his head hurts.

Although I was also in sync with the recorder, I was not without shock.

[Mental Protection (SSS) Lv.MAX]

[Chaos rejects the chaos of other beings.]

I was able to remain relatively fine.

I also didn’t feel it much because my confusion level was high.

‘Being eroded by other people’s chaos isn’t usually a beggar thing.’

Having experienced this while borrowing someone else’s body, it’s no joke.

It would be less if it were just my own experience, but it is more so because I experienced it while being linked to other people.

Because all of my chaos skills, authority, and five senses are tailored to that person.

“Ah-oh. “Wasn’t the guy who recorded it sloppy?”

“Maybe? From a child’s perspective, even goblins are scary.”

“It’s no joke even if it’s relative. “I feel like fighting even more!”

There was no need to fully accept the shock we felt right now as it was relative, but we did need to be cautious.

That would be true if the records were true.

“The King of Worshipers is on the 99th floor.”

“I didn’t know it was just a piece of chaos.”

I didn’t know that either.

Since he is the king of all worshipers, I thought he would be at the top, but I never thought he would be a fragment of chaos.

Besides that.

‘I don’t even know what it looks like.’

A black sphere seen from afar.

That’s not his body.

It’s like the aura he gives off.

I guess you could think of it as some kind of energy.

“You lose control just by entering its territory.”

“Aren’t you a complete monster?”

“ha ha ha! Still, wouldn’t it be worth doing? “I don’t think we’ll go to that extent.”

Nyangfun’s words and Hair Loss Man’s words are also correct.

The guy is strong.

It will be stronger than any enemy you have faced so far.

Still, there is a possibility.

“Our chaos level is not low either.”

He knew the importance of chaos numbers and raised his score from early on.

I ended up getting more than I intended, but it doesn’t matter.

Rather good.

I also got a clue to fight him.

“We have to change roles depending on the chaos level.”

“We also need to figure out what that level is.”

“Uhm. “Should we prepare weapons or something like that that contains chaos?”

“Guts and will also play a part! ah! “It might be a little better if the divine power or magical energy is strong.”

The key is chaos figures.

Whether it is your own abilities or those contained in equipment, you need a sufficient amount.

If you don’t have that, you have to have a strong magic energy that has divine power or similar properties to resist chaos.

Fortunately, this was a story that applied to all members.

It’s not that I’m not worried, but I have no intention of letting this go.

‘I’ve already fought the fragments of chaos. It will work out somehow.’

Are there just one or two fragments of chaos that we have encountered so far?

Of course, I have no intention of putting them on the same level as the King of Worshipers.

Even if the fragments of chaos are the same, the abilities of each object vary greatly.

If you compare Delverton with the guy I met on the 91st floor.

‘Delverton is much stronger.’

And as expected, Bedrock Vaaluze is stronger than Delverton.

So, he reigns as the ruler of the 99th floor.

I understand why Ofelia gave this to me.

I also understood the saying that if you are going to use it, use it in a safe area.

– Jeokjeok.

At the end of the cage, the record bead is broken as its durability has run out.

I wanted to show it to other people if possible.

It would be better to have several people to deal with such a monster.

Than.

“There are people on the 99th floor too.”

“I don’t know if it’s an NPC or a climber.”

There was a person who retrieved the last record.

It looked like they were moving in a group.

‘You said you were exploring.’

I don’t know their identity or purpose.

Is it an NPC or a climber?

Is it to catch the king of worshipers or to escape from him?

If one thing is certain:

‘It was said to be a written form.’

It means that people are beings that can be used as consumables.

Well, maybe the recorder isn’t human.

There is also a possibility that it is a homunculus or a creature.

‘How did Ophelia get this?’

Was it given to you by a cooperative NPC above?

I know there are many NPCs who help her.

She is a savior.

At the same time, he is also a person about whom not much is known.

Let’s move on for now.

I scratched my head and stood up.

A lot of time passed by looking at the records.

[Shower (S) Lv.MAX]

I cleaned my sweaty body with a shower.

“Lee Jun-seok must have woken up.”

“You have to visit the hospital.”

I went to see him.

There was so much going on that we couldn’t even talk properly.

Additionally, I couldn’t communicate with other high-level hunters.

There is a smile cap on the 97th floor, so you need to get information through Choco Choco.

I headed to Techid’s mansion.

* * *

Lee Jun-seok lying in a hospital bed.

Ofelia and members of the Ezikiil Fairy Club were also there.

“Now all you have to do is calm down.”

“Thank you, Ophelia.”

Thanks to Ophelia, his condition has improved considerably, but he needs to recuperate for a while.

Lee Jun-seok looks at us and slightly bows his head.

“I’m sorry for talking to you like this.”

“Lie down comfortably. “The patient needs to rest.”

Lee Jun-seok smiles at Lick-Jjak’s words.

“You’ve had a hard time managing the alliance. “Just enjoy some free time.”

“Thank you for your words, but I can do my work while lying down.”

It looks like they are still active in the community and doing various things.

Isn’t that just workaholic?

“I have always liked office work rather than physical work. “It was different from my brother.”

I’m glad if it matches my aptitude.

From what I heard, it seems like he worked at a large company before joining TOP.

After changing jobs midway through, I worked at a large guild.

This is a guy who has gone through an elite process.

“I really want to get the goods I’ve accumulated so far signed and take pictures to make a photo book, but there’s something I have to do first.”

Next to the guy who said that, there were all kinds of things, including figures, bromide standing silicone, and more.

Meanwhile, really, who made the Dakkuyong stickers? How did they make that at the tower?

Will I be scolded if I secretly burn it?

I felt a bit bad, but I held back.

As Lee Jun-seok said, there was something more important to do.

“Currently, most of the Union people have reached the upper echelons. “It’s natural because there are no more new people.”

No one receives invitations from the tower anymore.

In other words, it means that you cannot know what the situation is outside.

A situation in which only those remaining in the tower are heading upward.

“However, if we combine the latest news, Noble Knight’s prediction report, and information from some people with special abilities.”

Lee Jun-seok, who was quickly scanning the air, raised three fingers.

“3 years. “Within three years at the latest, those at the top will have to move out.”

“outside?”

“yes. Destruction is getting closer as we have already entered the transitional period of destruction. “Based on estimates of the power that is currently out there, in three years most countries will either be destroyed or give up most of their territory.”

Lee Jun-seok unfolds the hologram.

It seemed like a skill related to office skills, but there was a world map drawn on it.

D-0 written on one side of the map.

-Chrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrl

Eventually the numbers went up.

D+254.

One-fifth of Russia’s land mass disappears, and a country in Africa disappears.

D+410.

Australia collapses and Britain turns red.

Countries isolated between monsters move inland, causing strife and increasing confusion.

D+529.

China splits after most African countries collapsed.

North Korea collapsed long ago, and China and South America gave up half of their country.

D+743.

Half of the countries in the world were destroyed, and the surviving countries established communities.

The United States and Canada, which were relatively strong, also gave up their national territory except for core areas.

D+803.

India, with its large population and large number of hunters, collapsed.

Southeast Asia is also on the verge of destruction.

3/5 in Europe. 5/7 of Asia loses its territory.

A change that occurred because people gathered in one place and built a defense line.

D+918.

Flight and navigation are no longer possible.

They had to survive on their own, but food supply itself was extremely difficult and they suffered from extreme hunger.

D+1095.

Three years have passed.

“The number of countries that function properly can be counted on one hand. “It’s just an expected scenario.”

Most of the world map was colored red.

There were only a few areas that were green.

Even though Korea was there, it was no comfort.

How long can the remaining countries in the destroyed world endure?

“In reality, it won’t be like this. “It was calculated based on the hunters currently out there.”

“It means there is a possibility.”

“If the calculations are correct, the first Chaos Shard will become active within a year.”

This means that all disasters have already appeared.

The same goes for the singular gate.

It may already be there. It just wasn’t found.

“You have to choose. Are you going to go out or are you going to head up?”

Climbing is good.

The higher you go, the stronger you become and the more you can achieve.

Also, if you clear the 100th floor, you may be able to prevent destruction.

Of course, this is wishful thinking.

Because there isn’t much information about the 100th floor yet.

Maybe he could be sent out without much trouble.

Even now, there are people who go out consistently.

Didn’t the People’s Union also send out hopefuls, including Oh Ji-hyuk and Kim So-dam?

“I can’t send out any more Noble Knights. “You have to find it among your supporters.”

“We will probably ask for help from the Big Star Guild, but we don’t know how much it will take.”

Ophelia’s goal is to head to the top.

If there was a reason, it would be the Big Star Guild.

Actually, if you just count the number of people, there are a lot of people in the Pejing Union.

‘Most of them are Korean people. ‘I’m not very controlling either.’

Even though we were allied people, it wasn’t something we could do as we pleased.

It’s a difficult choice.

At the same time, I also had that thought.

“We can quickly conquer the tower and leave, right?”

In the end, shouldn’t you leave within 3 years?

Of course, problems will arise in the meantime, so you should climb as quickly as possible.

It’s been a few years since the members and I joined TOP.

There are only a few floors to climb.

Even if I can’t do it, I think I can reach the 100th floor within a year.

“Uhm. “There is no possibility at all.”

Ophelia crosses her arms.

“With so many people gathered on the 96th floor, it might be possible if we join forces.”

“Smile Cap, he’s on the 97th floor too. “What would happen if that guy joined in?”

The awl fairy receives Ophelia’s words.

“surely. “I don’t know if he moves along with me.”

Seeing as how even the fairy agrees, it seems like Smile Cap is a real big deal.

I don’t know much about him.

It was the same for the members as well.

“It seemed like a real monster back then.”

“iced coffee. “The crazy guy went around chopping up demons to catch the demon lord first.”

“Who would think that we are the same people who entered the tower together?”

As it had been a long time since I entered the tower, everyone who had encountered Smile Cap told their own stories.

Even if you just listen, he is not an ordinary guy.

Then suddenly. He looked at us and nodded slightly.

“You guys, I don’t know. He’s strong. “He is implicitly called the strongest of all climbers.”

“In the first place, Smile Cap was the one who climbed to the highest point among climbers. “I went all the way to the 98th floor.”

The Chiri Fairy and the Awl Fairy speak.

The strongest among climbers.

The one who rose higher than anyone else.

One of the people predicted to reach the 100th floor.

The leader of the Rookie Group and the ruler of the 97th floor.

Not only climbers but also NPCs follow him.

That’s the smile cap.

“I feel like I have a little bit of hope.”

Ophelia shows an optimistic view.

However, it didn’t last very long.

-Kkii.

The door opened and Choco Choco appeared.

“I don’t know about that, but the problem will be solved.”

The guy leaning against the door frame looked around at the people gathered in the patient room.

“You said you needed someone to go out, right? “You’ll be out a lot.”

A little cynical.

But Choco Choco, with a serious expression, pointed upward.

“Even that lovely Smile Cap couldn’t clear the 98th floor, so it’s on the 97th floor.”

The corner of his mouth twists as if he is disapproving.

“It’s hell from up here. I’m not worried about who gets out, but what I can do to avoid getting out.”

Her eyes weren’t smiling.
