Stuck in The Tower

Chapter 192 Odelto

Odelto met Heida when he was 15 years old.

It was about five years after the tower was created in the world where the Saint Peace Empire existed, and it was a time when many people, whether heroes or citizens, were being called to the tower.

An extremely confusing situation.

It was a crisis for some, but on the other hand, it was also an opportunity…

“The empire started to conquer the continent.”

To be precise, wars broke out not only in the Empire but also in other kingdoms.

The vigilant strongman was called to the tower and the balance of power collapsed.

The attack was carried out under the judgment that it would be advantageous to attack first at a time when the hero possessed by the motherland might disappear.

The countries that were not normally on good terms started the war first, and the Saint Peace Empire also participated in the war under the name of mediation.

A bloody battle ensued, and the count, at the time, began to move.

An attempt to increase wealth by selling war materials.

Of course, compared to other great nobles, their power was weak, so there were restrictions.

– On a day when the sky was exceptionally clear, my father brought a fairy.

By chance After Denium discovered Heyda, things changed.

Odelto wrote:

He said he had a lot of anxiety and was like a child who didn’t know how to behave.

Odelto, who was 15 at the time, took an interest in Heida and spent time with him, but the following month.

Denium took Heida to the battlefield.

incomprehensible behavior.

The Fregrents were not a family that grew up by force.

Why the hell would you want to go to war?

Odelto couldn’t understand, but…

– The news of the victory came. Numerous nobles came to the mansion. Among them were the central nobility.

The results were great.

The news that the border area that was in a stalemate was completely wiped out.

Was it luck?

Or was there something genius about Danium?

Unbeknownst to him, Odelto was genuinely delighted.

Because my father came back alive and the family was revived.

About half a year passed like that.

Odelto began to have doubts.

– The gardener is gone. Several maids were also missing. The butler’s son, whom he had been friendly with, also disappeared.

– My father did not know defeat and went on to win.

-I’m sure they went together, but Heida couldn’t remember the people who disappeared.

Every time Denium goes to the battlefield, Heida is also taken with him.

At the same time, the characters belonging to the family also disappeared one by one.

Time passed again and a year passed.

-I know the truth. My father is doing something he shouldn’t be doing.

– The reason why we were able to win the war. The reason why people keep disappearing.

-Heida is being used as a strategic weapon.

Odelto learned the truth.

It didn’t say what specifically happened, but to sum it up roughly…

“rage over loss.”

Heida has extensive outbursts when extremely stressed.

For us, it’s like a nuclear bomb.

An asymmetrical weapon that breaks the balance of power.

It was the moment I realized the meaning of the ‘fairy of destruction’…..

-Father drives the people around Heida to the battlefield and makes them die the most brutal death.

– Heida, unable to withstand the stress, causes a huge explosion and loses some of her memories as a reaction against it.

– A kind of defense mechanism. But i know Because of the fact that the memories remain deep in her heart, Heida sometimes becomes extremely anxious.

-How many corpses are piled up at the feet of my father, who was recognized for his major and rose to the position of duke.

-This is something you shouldn’t do. As an aristocrat, it is to abandon one’s duty as a human being.

It was an unacceptable act for Odelto, now 16 years old.

The diary continued.

-The butler is dead.

-The Empire is trying to absorb the alien race beyond the human kingdom.

-Father took Heida out again.

-Mother went to the battlefield with Denium.

-I never saw my mother again.

– Rumors are circulating that Denium made a pact with the devil.

After the servants and maids, even Mrs. Geary, the butler, was used as a sacrifice for victory.

From a certain moment, Odelto stopped calling Dame his father.

Sympathy for powerlessness and anger Heida.

Odelto was discouraged by the result of his resentment and endless greed for the world that had changed.

only 16 years old.

He was of an age where he had not yet reached the coming-of-age ceremony, and his position in the family that had risen to the rank of duke was not strong.

Normally, he would have turned his head away, saying that it was unavoidable…

-Heida Poor child.

– There are more days when my friends ask me where I am.

-What will happen to Heida after Denium achieves his goal?

-Denium took Heida out today as well. He never once told Heida that he was going to the battlefield.

-I told you to go to a place full of travel people. He said he might make a new friend.

-You have to save her. The root cause of everything must be eliminated.

He couldn’t give up on Heida and finally…

– He can’t leave Heida any longer.

– I found a way. Let’s use my only talent witchcraft.

– I found someone to help me. The sage will save us.

Found a way.

Scribbled handwriting as if organizing thoughts.

-soul.

– Fairies are close to the mental body.

-What is needed to seal the power?

– New life.

Numerous plans were constructed and discarded repeatedly.

Eventually, Odelto’s plan was completed.

– It’s about time.

-Now, the only people left for Heida are me and Denium.

-The war has come to an end. Only a big battle remains.

-This time, it will be me who becomes the sacrifice.

-It’s the only chance.

-He came. let’s finish it all tomorrow

– Let’s get away from everyone’s eyes.

The time has come.

Odelto’s plan was simple.

A plan that he was able to do because he was sure of his own death.

“Take out the soul and transplant it somewhere else.”

Odelto did not have great swordsmanship or magic talent, but he excelled in witchcraft and cast a spell before the soul on himself.

A technique that allows the soul to permeate into a doll that has been made separately when it is shocked to death.

People around you will think that Odelto is dead.

In reality, it’s no different from being dead…

-Sage John Trailer. He can make me a homunculus.

-Heida, who is close to the mental body, can be temporarily sealed.

-The sage decided to take care of Heida with me.

-Me and Heida will lead a new life in a new place.

– The family line and power disappear. I can’t live as a proper human being, but that’s okay.

In other words, the sage agreed to help, Odelto would fake his death, and Heida would disappear.

In order to be used as a weapon, Heida must witness the death of her friend.

It means that we can be together, at least in the last moment.

Odelto aimed for this.

Enter the place to meet the sage.

There, Odelto will become a spirit and Heida will be briefly sealed away.

If the wise man comes out with the two, that’s it.

The family that loses Heida will lose its power, and Odelto can be with Heida.

It was such a story, but…

“Looking at what happened like this, it must have gone wrong.”

Odelto died and Heida remained a fairy.

Was the plan caught or was it an unexpected accident?

Maybe the sage betrayed him.

I was curious about the back story, but the diary ended with this.

Rather than that, it’s John Trailer.

it’s a name you know He should too…..

[Intermediate Arcane gem (A)]

-The work of John Trailer, a sage who climbed to the 92nd floor in the past

.

-Climbing failed, but his achievements remain.

Because he is the one who made the items I have.

covered the diary.

at that time.

[Odelto’s Gift – Hidden Quest Cleared!]

[Reward will be given.]

Quest clear notification popped up.

It looks like Heida read the letter.

Rewards fell from the sky.

[Odelto’s request-Hidden quest is created.]

[Activate Odelto’s soul doll]

[The quest will proceed when the doll is found.]

At the same time, a new message came up with the words that the quest was created.

Odelto’s soul doll.

It looks like something written in a diary.

-Deafly

“Hmm?”

A noise was heard nearby.

I wondered if Deokchun had paid for it, but he was quietly lying on the bed and dozing off.

that it is

– A bunch of

junk piled up in a corner.

These were items Heida collected while wandering around the field, and among them…..

[Doll with Odelto’s soul]

-Doll with Odelto’s soul

-Some parts are damaged, but the soul is intact.

“Were you here? Heida did find it.”

There was Odelto, whom Heida had been searching for so long. Although it was in the form of a scorched and cracked wooden doll.

As expected, the field on the 48th floor is set in the place where Odelto died.

I lifted the doll that was approaching me as if I was crawling.

[Odelto’s soul doll suggests a quest.]

[Odelto’s Request-Hidden Quest]

-You gave Heida a gift and a letter!

– You must have found the real diary too.

– He hasn’t given up yet.

-Let’s help Odelto and Heida be together.

-Resurrection of Odelto (0/1)

-Meeting of the resurrected Odelto and Heida (0/1)

-Dealing with Heida’s nightmare (0/1)

-Reward: Curse of Sin Doll Karma Sacrificial Lamb

Quest given to me I checked.

Still working hard for Heida.

Although I felt pity.

‘Can I break this?’

The difficulty of the quest is enormous.

From the first condition, it is unusual.

“Resurrection… I don’t think it’s about restoring the body that disappeared. I think you want me to make it into the homunculus you originally planned.”

[Odelto nods, saying yes.]

“I can’t make that.”

I have the skill to make equipment, but it’s not enough for a homunculus.

It’s about creating magical creatures like nothing else.

[Odelto reports that there is a trailer for John the Wise on the 52nd floor.]

[He says he will help.]

This is different.

Because going up to the 52nd floor is enough.

The problem is that even if you make him a homunculus, the second condition is met.

I want you to meet Heida.

Of course, once you pass the 50th floor, you cannot reach the 40th floor.

If an expedient is possible…

“Can a homunculus be classified as an item?”

[That’s not it, Odelto shakes his head.]

It’s impossible to ask someone who is climbing the 40th floor through a personal transaction.

I’ll have to think about this a bit.

I put the doll on the bed and thought about it.

[Odelto expresses his gratitude.]

“Huh?”

[They said they were able to bring out Heida’s bad memories thanks to you clearing the quest.]

Bad memories.

no way?

I looked at the information on the item Heida’s Nightmare obtained as a reward.

[Heida’s Nightmare (SS)]

-Memories that Heida sealed in the unconscious for mental protection

-It contains terrible emotions and trauma.

-Can be injected into the target.

this is also possible

The reason why Heida’s memories are not intact is because she hid the memories she doesn’t want to recall in her unconscious.

It wasn’t a bad way, but I didn’t know when the memory would come back if there was an opportunity.

However, if it was removed in this way, there would be no sudden outrage.

[Odelto says that he knows that the quest he gave him is difficult.]

[In fact, he said that he intended to put special conditions on this quest.]

“Special conditions?”

[Cries out that even though it’s been a long time, his anger toward Denium remains.]

[Mumbles that he was going to give ‘Soul Rip (S)’ as an additional reward if he avenges him.

] Even if you don’t receive it…..]

Wait a minute.

An S-class skill?

“You can’t get that extra reward if you don’t take the quest, right?”

[I say yes in principle.]

“I’ll do the quest! I’ll even get revenge on Denium!”

He jumped up from his seat and pressed accept the quest.

People sometimes have a headache.

At the moment of crisis, when you are psychologically chased, when you have an opportunity that you should never miss, and so on.

I quickly shook my head.

“you can do it.”

Geary found a way.

Heida’s Nightmare.

And…

“With that, everything can be cleared.”
