Stuck in The Tower

Chapter 65 People on the waiting list

Cold floor. The hair loss man who had lost his mind opened his eyes.

I tried to get my body up, but I couldn’t help but stop in excruciating pain.

“ah. lost.”

The result of the game came to mind as soon as I woke up.

As the game ended, only tightly stacked bricks were visible in front of the hair loss man, as if he had been moved to the waiting room beyond the barbed wire.

‘Where is the Evil Eye I fought against?’

Just in case, the hair loss man looked around the stadium, but the man wearing the Evil Eye mask was nowhere to be seen, except that a match was underway to determine 3rd and 4th place.

[Winned 2nd place in the arena event on the 10th floor.]

[You will receive a prize of 3000 points.]

[You will receive a reward.]

A box that comes down from the air with a notification window.

It was the second-place reward Kildereth said.

[Green Dragon’s Breath (B)]

– An elixir made from the breath of a powerful monster, the Green Dragon.

– Contains strength and toxic energy unique to green dragons.

“It would have been nice if it was a trophy.”

If someone else had heard it, he would have shouted what he was talking about, but the hair loss man felt sorry for him.

It was because I was looking forward to meeting Petit Gongdu rather than the elixir.

For a while, the hair loss man put a decree into his mouth.

The pungent and at the same time terrible taste lingered on the tip of the hair loss man’s tongue.

[Effect of Green Dragon’s Breath (B)!]

[Strength +15]

[Agility +12]

[Stamina +26]

[Magic +19]

[Has strong resistance to all poisons.]

The effect was applied.

A feeling of something hot and poisonous crawling through your body.

I felt like I was going to be upset by the foreign energy, but the hair loss man’s face was calm.

Pain was familiar to him, and his endurance was beyond that of a criminal.

At least physically, it was top class.

“As expected, the world is wide and there are many strong people. Honestly, I thought I would win the arena on the 10th floor.”

The hair loss man let out a small sigh.

Before entering the tower, he had the opportunity to meet numerous hunters and was able to hear information comparable to that of a large guild.

I also received training related to it. So I knew it well. That the current self is much stronger than the people on the same floor.

The hair loss man’s confidence was based on confidence, and originally, it would have been correct.

If it wasn’t for Jo Hyun-soo in Petit Gongdu.

–

The hair loss man who had regained his consciousness by slapping his cheeks stood up.

The body, still badly injured, screamed, but did not show it.

The 10th floor is a safe zone. It was a place where self-healing effects were applied, so even if an event participant was injured, they were left without separate treatment.

This is the reason why the contestants fought with their stamina and injuries in mind.

In other words, it was also proof that the hair loss man did not die in the great explosion caused by Cho Hyun-soo.

If you die, your body will regenerate.

The hair loss man had one more trump card. However, Cho Hyun-soo’s attack only surpassed that.

Slightly limping, the hair loss man set out to find an exit.

Arena events are Kildereth’s responsibility.

He belonged to the cool side without ostentation and did not hold the award ceremony as if to represent his personality.

I ended up giving rewards to those who were ranked.

In a way, it seemed heartless, but it was also a kind of consideration.

“I have to go before the crowds gather.”

The arena event is also a battleground for recruiting guilds. There were not many, but there were participants who were uncomfortable with such a recruitment.

It means that you know what to do and go out at the right time.

If you want to recruit, you just have to leave after all the events, and if you don’t want to, just go out without anyone noticing.

The hair loss man was the latter.

The moment I didn’t get the trophy, my business here was over.

“Whoa. it’s still far You must become stronger.”

The hair loss man, who evaluated himself plainly, checked the community and walked down the hallway.

The hair loss man had a bitter taste.

I couldn’t keep my promise with Petit Gongdu. Although it was a one-sided promise, it was an important issue for him.

The hair loss man shuddered and wrote quickly.

[Hair loss on your head]: I’m sorry Petit Gongdu! Didn’t get 1st place!

The time when the hair loss man swallowed tears in his heart, saying he thought he would be able to meet them this time.

– The ring

notification rang.

‘Could it be Petit Gongdu? It doesn’t matter if I lose, so should we meet?’

The hair loss man with a glimmer of hope clicked on the notification.

[Lick the crown]: Did it fall off? did you fall growl. Then I have to be number 1. Cheer up, hair loss.

“Aww! Are you a licker!”

The hair loss man screamed at the comment of the guy who was like an antagonist.

Typing of anger. The bald man replied.

“He can’t understand the atmosphere.”

Funny enough, he was a hair loss man who regained his energy thanks to Lick, but he didn’t seem to be aware of it.

The hair loss man, who regained his energy, stepped out of the stadium with a quick step.

– It’s

still daytime.

The bright sun greeted the hair loss man.

“Here you go, your hair is bald. I was waiting.”

“Accomplished. Don’t forget that immediate execution is possible in case of defiance.”

Dozens of people stood in the way, holding weapons.

A quick glance at them revealed a familiar guild mark.

Eclipse ranked 6th in the large guild hierarchy.

The 7th multi-castle guild.

And two that look toxic dangerous.

[Lee Jin-moo-Murderer]

[Park Se-hyeok-Murderer]

I was able to recognize their identities from the title of murderer that floated above my head.

Because there is only one type of person that can move freely while holding that mark.

“The processing officers on the 10th floor?”

It wasn’t that the hair loss man couldn’t guess why these guys were gathered here. But the event isn’t quite over yet.

In other words, as long as they act as handlers, they have an obligation to control the arena overcrowded with events.

However, the fact that they came with this level of strength means that they prepared from the beginning.

‘What’s more strange are the kids in the back.’

The hair loss man scratched his forehead.

Those gathered behind Eclipse and Daseong.

Each had a famous guild mark.

It feels like all large guilds have gathered.

“What are you doing! You must have told me not to do it, right?”

“Are you guys just leaving the 10th floor?”

“I’ve reported it to the top, so wait for the results to come out!”

“What are you guys doing to interfere with the recruiting!”

It’s making a sound I don’t know what.

Jinmu Lee, the manager of the Daseong Guild, raised his hand and gave instructions.

“Don’t let them come in. The 10th floor is where we manage. Nothing to worry about.”

“Nothing has come down from the top yet. Right now, it is correct to follow the existing orders.”

Eclipse’s supervisor Park Se-hyeok helped.

As he said, the 10th floor is their domain.

Even people from higher ranking guilds had no choice but to follow their control.

Because that was the rule and the control system decided by the head of each large guild.

“You don’t know either, do you? He is related to Petit Gongdu. It is necessary to secure new recruits.”

“If you twist it, you guys catch petit gondue. Why do you talk so much?”

Other guild members frowned at Park Se-hyeok and Lee Jin-moo’s words, but backed off.

If it wasn’t for the 10th floor, I’d draw my sword right now.

I felt the tension that would explode if I touched it, but it was one person.

I didn’t care as much as the hair loss man.

– The

hair loss man has equipped the gauntlet.

The guild members flinched and were vigilant.

He frowned and stepped forward.

“Now that I hear it, it seems that you also have business with Petit Gongdu, but I don’t think it’s a good intention.”

– Jjaeong!

Those who saw the hair loss man exuding speculation as they clashed with the gauntlet pulled out their weapons.

obvious hostility. The hair loss man felt a living being stabbed at him.

‘Can I penetrate it?’

The hair loss man checked his condition.

My body is recovering little by little, but I am still not in normal condition.

I wonder if I can put out about half of my usual performance.

On the other hand, the number of guild members glaring with hostility was about 20.

The momentum of the two processing officers in the center was unusual.

‘I think it’s going to be hard to break through. Even if it’s a long fight, 30 minutes?’

It was clear that the situation was hopeless.

Normally, it would have been better to surrender meekly.

“It’s like they’re rushing around and attacking. Tsk. Things without romance.”

The hair loss man was not that kind of person.

“You won’t see me bullying Gongdu again. Don’t waste your time and come in, motherfuckers.”

attacked in reverse.

Lee Jin-moo smiled and gestured.

assault command.

Twenty guild members rushed at the same time.

* * *

After winning the arena event, you were moved to the waiting room.

Although there were injuries, they were not fatal, so moving was no problem.

I was tired from using a lot of mana, but now was not the time to rest.

“Where is this Rilka guy?”

We need to find Deokchun.

I also have to clear the quest that Rilka gave me.

Rilka and Kildereth are close friends. It was most likely somewhere in the arena.

“Congratulations on winning.”

“Ah Kildereth.”

While wandering through the arena along the corridor, Kildereth appeared.

The match for 3rd and 4th place is still in full swing at the stadium, so why are we here?

“After watching the final, the other matches became boring. I came to see you.”

Did you even read my thoughts? Or is it because my expression is full of questions?

Kildereth shrugged and continued.

“Do you know where Rilka is? I was thinking of bringing Deokchun.”

“oh? Looks like you got the scales of the fire dragon. Also a great friend I will guide you.”

Kildereth took the lead with a chin, and I followed him.

Several NPCs in the hallway greeted Kildereth.

Is there a hierarchical relationship between NPCs?

“I thought you would win, but your opponent in the finals was also formidable.”

Kildereth, who had been walking quietly, spoke up.

raised eyebrows. The twinkle in her eyes made her feel pretty good.

“Because he is strong too. He’s not as good as me, but he’s climbing the top fast.”

“Do you know each other?”

I pondered for a while.

can i say Although she was an NPC, there was no guarantee that she would not tell others.

I don’t mind talking about the details. As long as it doesn’t become clear that I’m Petit Gongdu.

During that time, he also did me a favor.

“I know each other. Although this is the first time we actually met. Because of circumstances, we did not meet in person.”

“I think I know how it feels.”

“But why is the hair loss man…?”

“Nothing. after thinking about the old days He liked it too.”

Kildares, who had been making an incomprehensible sound, opened the door.

“It’s all here. Rilka’s guest has arrived. Stop messing around and come out.”

Along with his cry, a crackling sound came from inside the room.

Rilka rubbed her elbows as if she had fallen and pressed her face.

“You you you you! Are you here already?”

He immediately looked at me and opened his eyes wide.

He seemed very surprised to see the fox’s tail straightened up.

I can definitely feel the emotion once.

“Deokchun came to pick me up. Give it up quickly.”

I took out the scale of the fire dragon from the treasure bag and passed it over.

Unbelievably, the scales are fiddling with the face.

It looks like it wants to catch the pod somehow, but it’s a scale that was pulled out brilliantly with the slaughter skill.

I even confirmed that it was classified as an item, so Rilka couldn’t help it either.

I felt sorry for him as he became more and more teary-eyed and his ears were folded.

“Deokchun, I’m here!”

I went into the room not paying much attention.

Suddenly, Rilka grabbed me.

“No nonsense! Why are you here already! I mean come after the bet.”

“Don’t say anything strange, just do quests and clears. Where is Deokchun?”

As I dragged Rilka hanging from my arm and went inside, I saw Deokchun who I wanted to see.

It’s been a while since I tried to reach out with a happy heart.

I stopped at the sight that was hard to see.

A room about 10 pyeong. It was full of gold and treasure, and there were works of art that seemed expensive.

Luxurious wooden table. A chair that seemed to fit Deokchun’s size.

Dressed in silk, Deokchun had a dainty crown on his head and a wine glass in one hand.

The table is full of all kinds of food.

Deokchun’s face shines because of how well he ate and lived well.

But the face was dull.

“In the ark? Gweek!”

Seeing me, Deokchun opened his half-closed eyes.

Eyes that instantly come to life.

He straightened his body, which had been stretched out in boredom, threw the crown and immediately jumped at me.

“That’s right!”

“iced coffee! it hurts! evil!”

It flew so hard that my body was shaking.

It clings to your face so you don’t think it will fall off.

ah. It feels a bit like being sucked into a sucker.

Still, I’m glad I could feel that you missed me a lot.

Rilka approached with her eyes wide open, probably shocked by this reaction.

“How good I have been! Don’t hug me!”

“Gww!”

Rilka stretched out her hand with lingering eyes, but Deokchun calmly pushed her hand away.

Rilka, staggering as if she was hurt, pressed against the wall.

“No dear. I mean, I haven’t worn them all yet.”

put on? What are you wearing?

I tilted my head and Deokchun tore the clothes I was wearing.

“Quack.”

Deokchun, who was crying with a refreshing expression, pointed to one side.

What appeared to be a closet was full of clothes.

There are suits made in Deokchun’s size, casual clothes, and dresses.

dress?

do you wear that

I looked at Deokchun.

“On him!”

-slam!

After reading my mind, Deokchun slapped me on the cheek with his tongue.

okay. This is Deokchun.

“Ugh. My Deokchun is my sword.”

Rilka pretended to cry.

Whoever wants to be my Deokchun Deokchun is my pet.

[Clear Rilka’s request (1).]

[The majority of NPCs’ favorability rating has increased!]

[I won the bet. Ownership of the Frost Flame Sword (A) is transferred to Cho Hyeon-soo.]

Rilka must have finally given up and completed the quest.

Your sensitivity has gone up.

I still can’t feel what it is.

Good is good. I will meet a lot of NPCs in the future.

That’s when he reunited with Deokchun and obtained the Frost Flame Sword.

– I

heard the sound of an explosion.
