Tower – B2F (1)
“Whoop…”
gloomy and dark As I walked, I could hear the sound of squeaking and heavy breathing. Since it was the only noise in a large space, it was resounding particularly loudly.
The problem is that I am the owner of that breath.
‘···shit. Tired faster than expected.’
I thought I had taken my abilities into account, but I guess I’m weaker than I thought.
In a way, it was also natural. ‘Hell Road’ is one of the most difficult places in the original.
A situation that cannot be dealt with without knowing in advance and preparing for it. In addition, the environment of Hell Island itself was difficult to survive for a long time, even with the exception of penalties such as ability limits.
So, this time Arihan Hector’s attack had a short plan of only ‘3 days’. No matter how late it was, I had to finish the work and return within 5 days.
If you stay longer than that, the debuff will disable your abilities and you will be trapped like a monster, or you will die quietly.
The difficulty level fluctuates depending on the situation of the worldview, but it was clear that it was not a place worthy of only coming to the beginning of the sophomore year.
‘Isn’t it natural to come to such a place with a D-grade stamina?’
The equipment I’m wearing now has the effect of increasing the stamina and stamina stats for fear of running out of stamina in hell. Even so, I’m already tired. If it hadn’t been for the effect of the equipment, he might have already collapsed on the way.
‘Ok. The perks were also activated, but it’s like this.’
The fortunate thing is that I am the only one who is particularly tired in the group.
Despite the other heroes, Jae-Yoo Hong, from a prestigious family, had a higher stamina than me because he was a prosecutor, not to mention Arwell, a weapon man.
“Can I stop for a moment?”
Then, at Arwell’s words, they all stopped walking at once. I turned to the side where the voice came from, wondering if something was wrong.
“Is something wrong?”
“I kept moving quietly, so I became anxious,” he said. Is it correct to go in this direction?”
“What is the direction? that is···.”
[It’s a little different, but it doesn’t make much of a difference. You can go like this.]
The Holy Sword said in a calm tone, as if not to worry.
Since there is no light, it’s like moving with your eyes closed, the only thing that could keep your senses in the dark was the Holy Sword.
Currently, we were moving towards the altar under the guidance of the Holy Sword.
“The holy sword is in the right direction.”
“Oh, is it? ···sorry. I can’t see anything, so I’m just worried.”
“Nope. I was just trying to stop.”
It’s just a good time Thanks to Arwell’s words, he was able to cut off one move.
“Are the others okay?”
“No problem yet.”
I asked the group to confirm, but although their breathing was calm, there was a hint of exhaustion in their tone.
‘Hmm. Even if he is physically fit, he is mentally exhausted.’
It seems that this is even more the case because he has not been able to rest properly since he just went through the battle with the monster.
Even if it is a simple movement, it will be very stressful to be alert every time you take a step in an unknown space where you can’t see anything.
It was me who was a little worried about my ‘strong mind’, but the others had to fight the fear, so the fatigue would be even more severe.
I’m in the opposite situation.
It would have been nice to have a conversation, but I couldn’t because I had to pay attention and focus on the monster. At this point, I think it’s the right decision to open the eyes once in a while.
“Then I’ll give you a glimpse here. Everyone, please be careful.”
I lifted a custom gun strapped to my shoulder. Even if I couldn’t see it, I was happy that Soulcheol completed the assembly by itself.
“Sword. Which one?”
[Turn a little more to the left.]
The direction relied on the holy sword and pointed the gun according to the guidance. Whoa! Red heat leaked from the gun barrel.
[Matan – Fire]
Quang! A single ray of flame drew a curved line, revealing the only degree of hell. In every range the light reached, monsters were seen turning their bodies.
The sense of the Holy Sword was accurate, and the shape of the altar we were heading to was glimpsed at the end of the magic bullet.
However, as soon as his vision became clear, Arwell saw the ghost in front of him and fell over in awe. It was fortunate that the guys didn’t react to the sound.
-&%$^%$^$!
At the same time, the ghosts reacted to the light of the magic bullet, but at that time, Drakan, who was already there, cut them off.
“···yes. I was just surprised for a moment.”
I turned to Arwell. I want to hold her hand and lift her up, but I can’t help it because I can’t see her. Along with the rustling sound, Arwell seemed to be getting up.
The flame of the magic bullet soon went out and darkness came again.
“Jihan. It seems that there are monsters all over this area.”
“···Has confirmed.”
Ahat, who was nearby, said to me. The moment Matan lit up the surroundings, I could see this area too.
‘There are ghosts everywhere.’
This was clearly a place where Ahat’s wind magic had not reached.
It must have been that they were rushing to the exit, so it’s safe to say that there are ghosts in places we couldn’t see because the light didn’t reach them. Fortunately, the direction towards the altar was not wrong.
Hong Jae-yu’s voice was heard behind his back.
“hey. Did you say that she won’t die even if she comes into contact with the ghost?”
“uh. However, there is a risk of death, so it is best to avoid it as much as possible. If it comes into contact with the melting form, it will be sucked into it.”
If there was only one, there was no way that there was only one monster there. If you are swept away by the fragments of the melting monster, your body will be buried in the ground and will not be able to escape and will be dissolved alive.
It was reliable information because I had seen various death scenes of Park Noah in the original work.
“···for a moment. So you were telling me to deal with them on my own?”
what. is it so
“You have the personality to leap through space, so there’s no risk of getting caught up in it. Do you want the instructor and Drakhan-san to be beaten?”
“…that’s not what it means!”
“Okay. The direction should be this way. The problem is because of the monsters lying around…”
how do you get rid of them Ahat’s magic is not worth using right now. There was no way that magic that was expressed in a certain range, not a single individual, would consume less mana.
“Seo-Han. From now on, I will take the lead.”
widely. Then someone suddenly grabbed my shoulder. I was reflexively surprised, but the owner of the voice was Drakhan.
“Are you taking the lead?”
“Can we just push out all the monsters? If you give me directions, I will keep moving in that direction.”
It was simply a sound that Drakhan was going to get rid of the monster blocking the way. But that’s not even close… If you’re going to overdo it, you’d better find another way.
“How is your fitness?”
“It’s nothing to worry about. You said you can rest properly if you go to the altar anyway? Instead, give me all the soul season.”
I unplugged the soul iron that connects the custom gun and reached out. In the dark, Drakhan quickly took away the Soul Iron pieces that Yongkedo had in his hand.
Whoa! A black light flashed for a moment. Riel must have changed his form using Soul Iron.
“Can you change the direction now?”
I grabbed Drakhan’s shoulder and adjusted the direction of his body according to the guidance of the holy sword.
“I think we should keep moving forward like this.”
Whoops! Soon a shrill sound was heard.
Every time Drakhan swung Riel, he could feel the shock of his flesh exploding along with the sound of pushing air. She feels lucky that she can’t see ahead.
In such a simple and ignorant way, he started to break through the path blocked by the monster in an effective way.
“Sup…”
As time passed and Drakan was exhausted, the wind pressure he was wielding began to weaken.
It felt like a hard floor rather than a soft texture on the ground.
When I stomped my foot again to confirm, I heard a metallic sound on the hard ground, as if I had heard something wrong. As soon as I heard the sound, relief came.
“Whew. We finally arrived at the altar. You can turn on the lights here.”
I first took the gear out of my backpack and threw it around.
Whoops! Fireworks burned with the magic stone as firewood, illuminating the field of vision. Then a place like a temple appeared.
It is an artificial structure that contrasts with the landscape like the intestines of hell.
The altar had pillars on all sides and a roof was built over it. It was enough to know that it was made for the purpose of performing rituals.
“This is where the altar is. It is the place where the resurrection takes place.”
I said to Lairt, who had a reluctant expression on his face for some reason.
“Even though you may not remember the instructor, he was resurrected through this place.”
“Is that why you feel strangely uncomfortable?”
“Ugh. I don’t know.”
The layer has been resurrected for a limited time. I don’t know what it feels like, but it might have an effect as it is on the altar where the resurrection ceremony took place.
“More than that. Can I make a fire here?”
“yes. The ghosts don’t come here.”
“Hey. That’s why this building is being maintained.”
Ahat patted the metal floor with an intriguing gaze. Just by looking at how the altar was made of metal, you could tell that someone made it artificially in this hell road.
“It’s good that the floor is hard here.”
“yes. There aren’t many places like this, so I’m going to take a break and go there. Ahat-sama, please replenish your magic.”
“Do you know how wide this place is?”
“It’s a question of where the beautiful Hector is, but I know that Hell itself has up to 5 stories below the tower.”
“It’s on the 5th floor…”
Ahat had an expression on his face that was thinking about something upon hearing those words.
“Nothing. I just thought it was weird.”
“Tell me please. Because I might know.”
Ahat looked at the road he had just passed. There were fragments of monsters scattered everywhere as traces of Drakan’s opening of the road.
“I know that the souls from the tower who have died so far are being accommodated in Hell. But is it possible to accommodate all those souls with only 5 floors?”
“but. You don’t even know this.”
I haven’t answered anything yet, but Ahat doesn’t seem to have asked me a question in hopes of an answer.
Ahat started taking his things out of his backpack to take a break.
‘······after.’
Even if I can’t say it, I know it well.
The reason why, no matter how wide the hell, it was only possible to accommodate all the souls who had died so far with only 5 floors.
That is because, in order to resurrect at least one person, many souls had to be consumed ‘permanently’.
Even if it has a deadline.
Since the number of souls consumed in the resurrection ritual to save one person is large, there was no fear of saturating Hell.
I glanced at Arwell. Arwell, who was squatting, looked like he was contemplating something.
‘…the same goes for respawn without penalty.’
Of course, I swallowed the useless talk.
Perhaps because of the penalty of hell, my body ached. However, thanks to waking up with my eyes closed, my condition has definitely improved. He was wearing a respirator, so there was only one thing that was uncomfortable.
I looked around and saw that everyone was sleeping soundly.
He refused to say that he had to stand on a vigilance. Because there were only monsters to attack here, and the holy sword I put in front of me was guarding this place.
In the first place, even if you were wary of places where you couldn’t see anything, it would only gnaw your nerves, and it would have no effect.
It’s almost impossible to go down, even now that you’re resting so comfortably. The ghosts that lie here are corrupt souls with no hostility toward us, but as we go down, there are many souls with clearer consciousness and hostility.
The altar is also located on the lower floor, but from there, even when resting, we had to be vigilant.
I breathed a little bit of divine energy towards the bottom of the Foundation. Then, the metal absorbed the divine power and began to emit a faint energy with a faint light.
Now, with the help of the divine power, others will also recover a lot of health while you sleep.
‘Ugh. Is there anything else I can do?’
Thanks to the perks, I didn’t think about it again. It was dangerous to reconnaissance nearby, and the smartphone didn’t explode, so I couldn’t contact him.
[Are you awake?]
Feeling my popularity, the Holy Sword spoke to me in a dull voice. The holy sword was not on the altar, but on the ground made of flesh.
I approached the Holy Sword with the light on, holding the Manastone on the floor. The blade was dirty with an unidentified liquid leaking from the ground.
[This is unpleasant, can’t I put it on the floor too?]
“I don’t even want to. What if something happens after the altar is damaged?”
[Ok.]
He didn’t insist on whether he knew the Holy Sword. This is because if the altar is damaged, the ‘resurrection’ ritual itself may be broken.
“Be patient. No matter how late it is, we will see the match within five days.”
[haha. I have no intention of losing.]
“Are you talking nonsense? I’ll figure out a way to kill him and save Noah.”
If there was no chance of winning, it would not have come in the first place. Because unlike anyone else, I can’t respawn.
‘Even if the privilege has not been activated yet, there will be no such thing as a resurrection.’
This could be asserted because of the setting of the worldview. I don’t know if it’s deferring death, I’m not from the tower, so my soul doesn’t go to hell after I die.
[Then it’s okay if I tell you now.]
The holy sword with a firm voice said to me.
[You can feel the energy of beautiful Hector nearby.]
