Stuck in The Tower

Episode 716: Open,

click.

The quickly extended sword entered the scabbard as if it had been there before.

A fleeting moment.

If someone had seen it, it would have looked like something was moving.

The results were a bit different though.

-dump.

A man with a solid red line on his neck falls down.

His eyes were wide open as if he didn’t know what was happening until the moment he died.

The hand I reflexively raised to grab my neck fell helplessly.

[Dig (S) Lv.MAX]

I buried his body in the ground and cleaned and showered to get rid of the blood.

Elini, who was still in the realm of disaster, was covering her ears.

[Unforgettable Lancer (SSS) Lv.10+]

“Mangu.”

“Kyaaaa!”

Mangu flew away carefully, grabbed Elini, and went out.

The stone statue’s neck turned and glared at Mangu, as if the sight was unpleasant.

“Kyaaa?”

It didn’t work for Mangu.

Did you say it was a stone statue of apology?

It seems like he has the ability to make those who have committed a sin or even those who have not committed a sin apologize for the rest of their life, but Mangu is basically a ghost.

Apologizing meant denying oneself as a ghost.

Of course it shouldn’t be affected.

In addition, Mangu is as chaotic as I summoned him.

We are fighting the fragments of chaos together right now, but we can sufficiently resist that level of disaster.

He takes his time and throws his middle finger at the statue.

“No, where did you learn that?”

“Gehehehe.”

I learned it from Deokchun.

He teaches really good things.

Of course, I’m not saying you shouldn’t do it.

I also entered his territory with my middle finger raised.

The statue’s face was distorted, as if it did not like the sight.

[A stone statue of apology confesses your sins.]

Memories that go along with it like a film.

I can feel the faces and anger of those who died by my hands and those who were stabbed in the back.

The pain and fear I felt as my body was pierced and burned.

The emotions were strong enough to be called violent, and it felt like the subtly twisted memories had been pieced together and turned into irreplaceable trash in the world.

But what can I do?

“I have a bit of a trashy side.”

I have no intention of denying it.

I’m not usually a trash person and I only do that to bad guys.

Could it be some kind of dark knight?

I felt satisfied and moved forward.

The stronger the statue became, the stronger it became, but to this extent it was no problem.

The mental barrier is also very thick.

[Chaos ignores the influence of disaster.]

I am long past the level where I would be swayed by this level of disaster.

If I were to count the total amount, I would have more chaos.

-Geeky geek.

-Deuddeeudeuk!

“Kihyaaaaaaaaaaa!”

The statue moves as if it doesn’t like me.

He opened his mouth wide and screamed.

“The end to those who commit sins.”

“Accept the weight you carry.”

“Kill him and atone for your sins!”

Those who had been immersed in prayer rose up all at once and rushed towards me.

Mostly ordinary people.

Even though he was a guy who used a lot of strength, he wasn’t that strong.

I roughly pushed away the clinging ones as if shaking off dust.

Most people are rolling on the floor just because of that.

“Why can’t I repent for my sins?”

A person who appeared to be a former climber hit my head with a rock.

“Khaa! “Such a stone head!”

“You talk harshly when you first meet.”

Again, the guy with the torn palm grabs my hand.

Kyaang.

I broke my shin and went into the pond.

This is what maintains that big lake.

The water is definitely clear.

It would be perfect to use as a water purifier.

Moderate adjustments may be necessary.

– Tup.

I grabbed the statue.

It sticks out its fangs to bite me.

Of course, its teeth never pierced my skin.

-Plop.

“Kihyaaa!”

I love it when I pull out a few fangs of a spoiled brat.

Since it doesn’t have front teeth, it can’t bite.

“Should I break it or not?”

This is a bit tricky.

It’s certainly useful, but it’s dangerous for the general public.

I took a quick look around.

Maybe it’s because it’s weak compared to disaster.

His influence is, at most, only about 50 meters in front.

He’s relatively safe.

“From now on, your name is Underground Rock Tree.”

“Kihyya! Kihyaaaa!”

He also seems to like the new name.

Enter the lake while holding the stone statue.

I went into the deepest part.

This alone is not enough.

If you pass by in a boat over the place where this thing is placed, you could become possessed.

[Dig(S) Lv.MAX]

-Gurrrrrrrr.

You have to put it very deep.

The ground has been dug up and dust has risen, but it’s okay.

Compared to fighting in a polluted sea, this is clean.

Fortunately, it’s a fixed disaster and I won’t be able to escape it, so I’ll live as a water purifier from now on.

It seems like water comes out well when there are people around, but even if there aren’t, some water will come out.

With this, we have confined one disaster.

‘What is that?’

Deep in the lake, a particularly black rock was seen.

Is it a rock?

‘It looks like it was made by a person.’

Although it was formed naturally, there are still traces of polishing.

no. It was clear that someone had made it.

A circular stone slab that appears to be about ten meters in diameter.

Because geometric patterns were engraved on the flat rock.

I don’t know what the magic circle is for.

Although I used my authority.

[There is an aura of chaos.]

[Some of the information is contaminated.]

The information comes out broken.

What should I say?

Should I say that it is similar to when I saw the information about Garti, who has mysterious powers as his power?

First, remember the location.

[Petit Gongdu]: I found something like this in the lake☆ Don’t you know?

I even took a picture and told it to the members.

If I find something similar or identify it, I’ll let you know.

Although there is chaos, there is no tangible chaos.

I don’t think it will be a big problem yet.

‘It looks similar to an egg with a slight delverton.’

I knocked on it just in case, but there wasn’t even a scratch.

It’s a bit annoying, but I think it’s okay to check it periodically.

Now that I’ve roughly finished my work, it’s time to head back.

“Pooh.”

When we got out of the water, we saw people lying on the ground.

These are people whose physical strength has reached its limit, perhaps because they prayed until their bodies broke down.

It seems that he fainted as soon as he escaped the effects of the disaster.

Deokchun licked it once, so it won’t be long before he comes to his senses.

There is nothing we can do about those who have already died, but the rest will regain their health if they receive proper care.

Food was set aside for those suffering from malnutrition.

In addition, I made a container with the Earth Wall, so if you come to your senses, it will take care of itself.

“Ugh. “It’s the head.”

“The damn statue is gone.”

“I don’t know who it is, but thank you.”

People who have come here relatively recently come to say hello.

The memory seems to be quite intact.

“I’m even thankful. “What are you going to do now?”

“I have to take revenge.”

“Aren’t they the ones who tried to kill us? “You will have to pay.”

Is it revenge after all?

Well, even if it’s like me, I don’t let the guys who tried to kill me go kindly.

Well, just figure it out.

“It’s good to do it, but make sure it doesn’t hurt other people.”

“Keep that in mind.”

I had no intention of emphasizing it.

If you see what’s going on and think it’s not right, I plan to step forward.

Rather than that.

‘They said they have relatively little influence, but they are not completely free.’

Ellini brought by Mangu is in bad condition.

I’m holding on to a tree and feeling nauseous as if my head hurts.

“Are you okay?”

I patted my back lightly.

I haven’t taken off the blindfold yet.

It’s a world where we can’t live by seeing only beautiful things, but there’s no need to live by seeing everything.

The place where the stone statue was was not in a good shape, to say the least.

Doing errands on the spot without even washing up.

What can you do when you see people who starve to death rotting away?

Even if you don’t see it, you probably know what kind of place it is.

The feces and rotten smell of the corpse could not be hidden, and the feel of the squishy flesh underfoot could be known even without words.

He placed his hand on Elini’s head.

“Evileye?”

“Let’s go home.”

He holds my hand tightly.

Nothing much was said.

I also stayed silent.

-Nod.

Because I also looked at those who remained.

The message is that no matter what you do, don’t harm those you don’t care about.

Since they were people who had taken refuge here to avoid destruction, they were aware of this.

By the time we left the forest, it was already afternoon.

-Kiiiiii.

I boarded the boat I came on.

Two people come here too.

Two people when I go.

The only thing that has changed is the person riding on it.

If you row slowly, the boat moves smoothly.

The wind is cool and there is no impact of disaster.

Thinking that this was enough, I took off Elini’s blindfold.

Elini opens her frowning eyes as if the light is bright and is amazed.

“and!”

“Is the view nice?”

“It’s great! This is my first time coming here by boat. “It’s kind of strange, but it’s pretty.”

I usually come to the lake to get water, but this is my first time standing in the center of the lake like this.

“Just changing the viewing position changes the feeling.”

It will continue to be like that in the future.

Even if I don’t want it, the situation will always change and I will face an unfamiliar world every time.

If possible, I just hope the location is good.

Elini stayed close to the boat and put her hand into the lake.

The corner of his mouth rises as if the cold sensation isn’t bad enough.

I headed towards the village, washing away the dirty residue I picked up in the forest along the waterway.

Slowly.

Until all body odors are erased.

I crossed the blue lake.

* * *

I flinch.

A doll in a dark space opened its eyes.

The air is cool and you can’t see an inch ahead.

I floated like I was floating and couldn’t tell if there was a bottom or not, but I wasn’t scared.

This was his territory and at the same time a place to calm his mind before heading out.

[Mulan Cassen of Chivalry and Punishment examines the target.]

-Grrr.

A dozen fireballs floated around her.

It was shining in the deep darkness, but the light could not go beyond a certain range, as if this was an area of darkness.

Because of this, I couldn’t even capture her appearance.

Just a glimpse of a blurry silhouette.

Mulan Cassen stares into the flames.

One of the red-burning fireballs is glowing blue.

It reveals its presence more powerfully than other flames.

-Sureuk.

When I gently touch the blue flame, the fire comes back as if in response.

It wasn’t hot.

Only a faint warmth is conveyed.

After tracing the flame for a while, she retrieves her hand.

In a dark space, her eyes sparkle.

“Until it turns blue and shines brightly.”

She muttered softly and closed her eyes again.

At the same time, the chaos that had been quietly flowing in the air exploded in momentum.

Chaos swirling fiercely like a storm.

Unlike those who are merely swept up in the chaos and demonstrate their abilities, they completely control the chaos.

Soon the chaos that came together rose upward.

– Jeokjeok.

Incontinence was drawn in the space surrounding her.

For a split second, it seemed like I could see light, but it was only for a moment.

Chaos escapes through the gap, and darkness fills the air again.

Containing her will, chaos spreads throughout the 98th floor.

A black smoke-like energy was scattered, and the world darkened for a moment, but then regained its original color.

It was at that moment that something strange happened.

[The 98th floor responds to Mulan Cassen’s will.]

[Sleeping emotions and monsters bloom.]

[The world becomes more confused.]

-Crumple.

98th floor field.

Numerous gates were opened.
