◈ Tower – ?F (4)
After starting work, I looked around me late. I’m glad I’m not with the wizards I’ve been with. If there was a wizard, the battle might have happened right away.
I looked at the child of prophecy with my head down, covering my face with my hands.
The appearance that has just been clearly revealed is identical to that of Park Noah. Black hair, black eyes, and specifically the nose and mouth. Because of his small size, he feels like a twin brother.
But in reality, he’s not like a brother.
This guy should have been ‘Noah Park’. However, he is the one who fell behind because the 103rd Tower had a flaw in the process of creating ‘Tower’s Child’.
If you look at her current appearance, you can see that her physical growth is less than that of Noah Park. However, the other potential is still to be able to digest the worldview’s highest ‘intelligence’ personality.
In fact, it was originally supposed to be abolished because it could not exist as the same person, but the manager on the 50th floor picked it up and nurtured it.
That is the reason why it appears directly only in the Hidden Route as it continues to be mentioned in the story. A quick-witted player noticed that the child of prophecy was similar to Park Noah based on the clues so far. I am one of them
I returned the bandage once. The child of prophecy snatched it up and hurriedly wrapped it around his face and blindfolded it. Astiel still had a confused expression on his face.
“what’s this···. Are you Noah?”
“It can’t be! Don’t compare yourself to someone like that.”
“No, the face I saw was definitely…”
Astiel touched his forehead as if he was quite shocked.
“Let’s go inside. President, please keep what you just saw a secret.”
“… Seo Ji-han. What do you know?”
“I will explain everything later. That’s better, isn’t it?”
“Whoa. All right.”
Even though her face was covered with bandages, I could tell she was staring at me. Anyway, I moved towards the temple to see more people. First of all, it was only me and Astiel who saw their faces directly.
The saint, who was waiting at the entrance, was surprised to see the child of prophecy quietly following from behind.
“Long time no see. I’m glad they both look healthy. But what just happened?”
“Saint, that’s…”
Astiel was still embarrassed, so he opened and closed his mouth, unable to tell what he saw. As I followed into the temple, I opened my mouth first.
“Because I took the bandage off of him.”
Albain and Arthur Gran were surprised by the rude behavior. I looked back at the child of prophecy without hesitation.
“What do you call it?”
“…if it’s just ‘beta’.”
Beta (β). That’s a plausible name.
Once I followed Arthur Gran’s guidance, I entered the empty room. It is a structure that cannot be overheard from outside. One by one, they sat down at the seats inside. When he saw Beta sitting opposite him, he apologized belatedly.
“Yes, Beta. I will apologize for doing that.”
“Come now?”
Beta grabbed her face in advance as she thought I’d snatch the bandage again. Astiel looked at it and asked with a firm expression.
“Seo-Han. Why the hell are you doing that?”
“Because it is a necessary action. Now that I say it, I can see the future like Mr. Beta.”
There was a momentary silence at the sudden confession.
“···uh?! What are you talking about? Seriously, are you hearing this for the first time?”
“Warrior. Is what you just said true?”
“yes. I’ve never said it before, but that’s my personality.”
Now that I have the personality of a real ‘precognitive dream’, it’s not a lie. Beta flinched when she heard that she could see the future.
“I didn’t know that.”
“Well, I never told anyone. It’s about the extent of telling Arwell.”
“Heh, it was…. He could see the future too. It all makes sense now.”
Beta, who had been muttering to herself, folded her arms as if in a purple way.
“You were always there when the variable of prophecy happened. It didn’t happen because of Noah Park.”
“Yes. Because I can see the future.”
“ね. I think this topic may be uncomfortable, so let’s get to the point, shall we?”
The first thing you need to know is why Beta came to see us on the 44th floor. I had to figure out what I saw and what made me act like that.
“What happened when we met the heads of state?”
“…why are you asking me that?”
“Otherwise there is no reason for you to come and meet in the middle. I think it has something to do with the foreknowledge that the Great Hall will be eroded after a few days.”
I looked closely at the beta. Whether what I’m going to say is a lie or not, you’ll know when you hear the next one. Then he nodded his head weakly.
“Yes. Because you are dead.”
“…are you saying that Gaju will kill you?”
Beta sighed as if she was frustrated with explaining this.
“The moment you arrive, erosion is suddenly rushing in along with the monsters. Even the 49th floor will be swept away.”
“Is it that easy?”
“yes. It literally does nothing and collapses. It’s different from what we’ve been doing before.”
Beta said, pointing to her blindfolded eyes.
“We looked into the future assuming a number of variables, but there was always a common outcome. Erosion moves every time you reach the front line. And it starts descending the tower at that accelerated speed. That’s how the 44th-floor evangelism was eroded.”
Seeing him speak so bluntly made me suspicious. This is because, as the saying goes, it is a future where the beta proceeds as intended.
“Why are you telling me all that? It would not serve your purpose.”
“ok? What is your purpose?”
Astiel turned his head to me what were you talking about. I turned my gaze away and stared intently at Beta. Beta bit her lip as if the interrogation was annoying.
“After all, you know everything now, don’t you? If so, what would I lie for? Rather, I am more anxious that he is still keeping his mouth shut.”
“Ah… that’s right.”
I didn’t mean to intimidate Beta with the fact that he wanted an end, but it seems that he unintentionally took the lead in his relationship with him. Albain intervened in this way to see if only I and Beta knew about it, as if questions continued to arise.
“for a moment. What are you both talking about? I wish we could know.”
“It’s about the future. I refrain from speaking directly, as it could be wrong if I said it carelessly.”
I guess Beta thinks I’ve seen his plans in the future. Even if you think like that, I can’t help it. It’s not that we don’t know the purpose of the beta, which is actually the end.
Now that he knew what Beta had come for, he had to move quickly. If everything Beta said is true, it means that he is still being observed by Topju. If you act slowly, you’re only giving him room to get things done.
“Anyway, I think it would be right to proceed with the plan. Sir Arthur Gran. Can you come up with me?”
When Arthur Gran looked to the side, Alvain nodded. He saw it and replied.
“yes. We will do it together. An aspiring hero.”
“···Wait. you want to climb the tower Are you ignoring what I said?”
“Mr Beta. Variables have continued to arise. It will be this time as well.”
“Hey. It’s good to be hopeful. If erosion comes down because of you, it will be worth seeing.”
It must be because of me that the erosion suddenly increases when I arrive at the front line. I don’t know why the top owner behaves like that. Maybe it was because I didn’t go back even after I met my own ending conditions.
‘Anyway, if you do well, you won’t even need to go up to the 100th floor.’
If Top-joo is looking for me, I can go to meet him.
“Everyone is taking care of themselves. And I don’t want to leave Daeshinjeon, so please be careful.”
“···haha. Do not worry.”
He left the Great Hall after seeing off Albain, who was making a scary joke. Less than two hours after arriving on the 44th floor, she moves to the next floor. This time, Arthur Gran and the two wizards from the top powers were also with them.
First, the holy relics possessed by the temple were equipped by Arthur Gran, the commander of the Holy Knights. They are artifacts with divine power, so even if erosion and erosion occur, they will be able to survive together.
You could go up to the 49th floor like this, but there was a problem.
I don’t know what those wizards with Beta will do. It seems that they are following Beta’s instructions, but in the end, they are the subordinates of the heads of state. Maybe we’ve already contacted the heads of state that we’re climbing the tower.
A few hours later, I stood in front of the stairs going up to the 45th floor.
From above, you will now encounter the demons. The experience of fighting monsters in the tower was surprisingly close to the beginning of coming to this world. This is because he has avoided useless battles by using short cuts.
“Mr Beta. Can you give me directions? If possible, I don’t want to fight.”
When he heard the word guide, Beta seemed unwilling.
“I know that I will die if I go, but will I guide you?”
In response to that timid rebellion, I whispered quietly in a voice that no one could hear.
“Isn’t that what you want anyway?”
“… that’s different from that.”
“What. Now that we’ve talked about it so far, there’s something I want to ask you about something like this.”
“What? I hate to answer.”
“How can you see the future as you like? When I sleep, it appears in the form of a dream, but the parts I want to see do not appear.”
In any case, he had to use the power of intelligence he had stolen from Desaruuk. It was of no use to me to show myself who returned to active duty uselessly from reality.
“Hmm. Seo Ji-han Mr. When did you get that personality?”
“I didn’t get it at 7 years old like anyone else.”
Beta bit her lip in response when she tried to sneak a peek at the information. haha. There is an excuse called Yeji, so it’s convenient to be able to spit out information as you like.
Well, this should be in moderation.
“Seeing that I can’t control it as I want, it seems more backwards compatible than my personality.”
“I don’t deny it.”
“Well, I have no reason to teach you. Once you give us directions, a monster will appear as soon as you go up to the 45th floor.”
“… It’s a shame.”
I don’t think I’m going to tell you how to deal with individuality right now. I said to Arthur Grand standing behind him.
“Sir Arthur Gran. As soon as Beta-san reached the 45th floor, a demon attacked him.”
“Is that so? Then the saint candidate will come back.”
Is this the first real battle you experience after learning the magic of the wind attribute? I glanced to the side, and the wizards were watching me.
If they get in touch with the headmaster, it would be better to show them.
I rolled up my sleeves and put my feet on the stairs. Whoa! Mana of the wind attribute began to flow quickly through the mana road.
[ERROR]
[Could not initialize.]
The 103rd top owner looked at the red warning sign that appeared in front of him. And he looked at the situation of the tower.
This is the view from the 45th floor. He was looking around to see if he had just arrived.
“…this time, it’s unexpected, Player.”
The master muttered quietly.
Don’t go back.
So I haven’t been able to reset it yet.
