Stuck in The Tower - Chapter 131
Chapter 131 The 31st floor
team is ready. Roles have been decided and preparations for climbing have been completed, so all that remains is to go up to the next floor.
I moved to the eastern portal of the 30th floor safe zone.
“Have you heard the news? That we can wage an all-out war in a large guild?”
Kim So-dam opens her mouth while walking on the street.
“I heard. It seems that Lee Jun-seok is having a hard time because of that.”
“Do you know the president?”
“I know roughly.”
can’t you know It’s a sign that communicates directly with me. I’ve never actually met you.
No matter what kind of person I am, all I know is that I hate large guilds to death.
“Have you met Sodam Lee Jun-seok?”
“no. I’ve never met him directly because the timing wasn’t right.”
Heck, Lee Jun-seok searches every floor just as much as I do.
Because my older brother was a rookie in Guryong, the number one guild, and he told me many secrets.
How far have you risen now?
I want to meet you sometime
I have a lot to say with him. Why was the union named that way and why is the symbol of the union a sparrow? In terms of freedom, there are condors and there are many!
Pudeuk.
I broke my teeth without even realizing it.
“Mr. Evileye?”
“haha. it’s nothing. When I think of a large guild, I get excited.”
“Right? Anyway, there are more guys who do it. Is the top a centipede? I don’t know why.”
“That’s right. It’s a dictatorship. You persecute people because you don’t like them.”
“Let’s make a big fuss! I cannot stay under them forever.”
Everyone raises their voices as if there were a lot of accumulated things.
power to unite them. There was a symbolic existence called Petit Gongdu, but it was also because they had a common enemy called a large guild.
What will happen when the confrontation with the large guild ends later?
Will the unity still exist then?
I have my doubts, but it’s still a long way off. It’s not something to worry about already, and it’s funny to command them as if anything has happened now.
“Im here.”
It’s a while to walk while chatting.
Before I knew it, I reached the front of the portal and could see people divided into three camps.
The large guild team was on the left, the union people were on the right, and people who didn’t belong to either side were gathered in the center.
the proportions are similar.
“Large guilds are also starting to enter.”
Kim So-dam whispered.
“The one week notice from the other side is until today. We don’t know how it will come out tomorrow.”
“that’s right. So, we also decided to go up from today. Let’s go and sweep it up!”
The gentle-faced man answered my words.
I think it was an ancient formation, or it was supposed to be a reconnaissance role.
It would be nice to be close enough to work together while climbing the 30th floor.
“Dajin is full of energy.”
“It’s hard to survive if you don’t fight.”
Go Dae-jin grins.
That’s right. Having a positive personality is also a big strength in the Tower.
Eating moths on your own only increases your chances of dying.
“There is a lot of fighting and a lot of talk. Be careful, your ears might bleed if you stay next to them.”
Choi Young-mi, a woman who sneaked up on me, gave me advice.
I think I’ve already suffered from tinkering with my ears.
“Ehehe, quietly enjoying yourself.”
“Because I and everyone else pretended not to hear, so they listened?”
“huh? really?”
Ko Dae-jin looked around at the team members, but everyone turned their heads and said something different.
Choi Young-mi hit his side with her elbow.
“While reconnaissance, will it cause trouble? Chase all the monsters.”
“Do I know that much? Hit me up if you have any problems!”
“Did you hear Evileye? If you talk about it even when you just go, they’ll just stab you in the back and knock you out.”
“Think about it. Let us come in too.”
I stopped the bickering and stood in front of the portal.
The people in front of us have already entered the situation.
The large guild members standing on one side and glaring at us were reluctant, but we ignored them.
Friction is a predictable situation. Because there was no need to be shy.
To be honest, I think I’ll be able to subdue it
enough
…..
A pure white light covers the field of view.
With a strange sense of floating, we moved to the 31st floor.
[31st floor]
[31st-39th floors are the team play section.]
[Trust each team member and head upward.]
We were amazed at the space that opened up along with the notification.
“Nice.”
Kim Seo-kyun, a close range dealer and tank, said quietly.
I can’t take my eyes off the field as if everyone agrees.
I too was surprised inside.
[31st floor]
[Obstacle running]
– Reach the finish line.
-Five teams are eligible to enter the finals.
– The eliminated team will die.
As soon as the clearing conditions came to mind, light came out from everywhere.
People who, like us, came over to the 31st floor.
A total of six teams.
A number is written above each team.
My team is number 5.
‘5 No. 6 is the Pejing Union. 2 3 4 teams are large guilds. Team 1 is independent.’
Those who were admiring the scenery raised their guard and glared at each other.
here is the top. Where you never know what will happen.
“One out of six teams is unconditionally eliminated… There is a reason why the 30th floor is called the Road of Frustration.”
“Even that is only on the 31st floor.”
The team members also took out their weapons and were nervous.
Agreeing sea. Regardless of individual ability, if the team fails, everyone is eliminated.
-Guguggugug
The light descends on the top of the mountain in the distance.
goal. is that the target?
I quickly checked the terrain.
The starting point was a forest, so a stone mountain full of oddly shaped rocks unfolded.
A field divided into three zones.
[The position is randomly adjusted.]
-Faah!
A message popped up and the space changed in an instant.
We are standing in the middle of the forest. I can’t even guess where it fell.
The cries of monsters could be heard from everywhere.
A flock of birds soaring into the sky.
A vine with sharp thorns.
[Departure.]
A short sentence floated above it.
God Jin stepped forward.
reconnaissance.
Don’t panic and stick to your role. Didn’t you come here by luck?
The team members formed a formation as if they were squeezed.
“Let’s figure out the location first.”
I too moved.
Where is this place. You have to figure out which direction to go.
If you’re lucky, you might be able to get through the forest section quickly.
-Paang!
He kicked off the ground and climbed onto a tree branch.
Normally, I would have fired a firebomb here and went upstairs.
“We shouldn’t find out where we are.”
All the teams that came over together are competitors.
The condition to clear the 31st floor is to pass the finals.
There was no word on how to pass.
It is said that attacking the opposing team and digging traps are all allowed.
The explosion will make a sound and our location will be exposed.
I don’t think I’ll lose even if I fight, but wasting my stamina is a waste. There are still many floors to climb.
If one of the team members drops out, that’s a problem.
So we have to do it quietly.
[Running Fog (A) Lv. 1]
-Ahhh!
I became a fog and flew through the sky.
It has to be done quickly. Because the duration of fog is short.
It climbed through the densely packed trees.
I looked all over the place. Cognitive ability is improved and the surroundings come in at a glance.
A vast expanse of forest. The rocky terrain that followed. You must go west.
[The fog has ended.]
The fog stopped just as it was about to descend under the tree.
Landing lightly on the ground, I pointed to the left.
“You have to go left.”
“Oh oh! Also Evileye. The direction has been set!”
“Let’s move!”
Team members heading straight ahead.
No one raised any questions. I guess you believe
Like it. I don’t have to waste my time on useless things.
Took. Ko Dae-jin, who slapped my shoulder, winked at me and gave me a thumbs up.
“Thanks to you, I can hit and run quickly.”
“Because first place is good if you’re going to do it.”
The 30th floor is a team match as well as a competitive match.
As I climbed the tower, there was a high possibility that special rewards would be given to those who entered the finals as first place.
“I’ll turn right, Mr. Evileye, take the left.”
“All right.”
Dig.
God Jin throws himself into the bush on the right.
Movement is light and fast. Almost no noise.
I also fell to the left. As a reconnaissance team, it is necessary to detect danger in advance.
He doesn’t have any stealth or tracking abilities, but his physical abilities are top-notch.
I moved forward, stepping on the ground as lightly as possible.
It is basic to not miss the position of the team members following behind.
You have to think about attacks that you don’t know when and where they will come from.
The anxiety of having to go through an unknown space.
A sense of responsibility that if you make a mistake, you will endanger not only yourself but also those who follow you.
I can see why people are reluctant to play the role of scout.
It’s just that I’ve become a pervert because I’m in the tower. The tickling tension is strangely pleasant.
The senses also come alive sharply.
-Suddenly!
Cut the head of a snake falling from a tree.
Semi-reflexive movements. As he became the successor of Alios, he was able to move his sword like limbs.
It’s good news, but seeing the monster wriggling on the floor, I don’t think I can just like it.
“From the 31st floor, 3 stars appear.”
Body about 2 meters long. It was thin in thickness, but the outer skin was hard, and the long protruding fangs were ferocious.
Is that all?
[Petrifaction is in progress.]
As soon as he looked at the green eyes, the petrification debuff was applied.
fast.
Without hesitation, I stepped on the guy’s head and broke it.
3 star monster Green Medusa.
It is a parasite on the head of Medusa, a 5-star monster.
It’s a little bit, but it has Medusa’s petrification ability, so it’s classified as one of the annoying monsters to deal with.
“If I do this well, I will suffer too.”
“To that.”
I’m not immune to the curse yet.
At least the specs support it, so it will endure to some extent, but what will happen if it is continuously exposed?
Even after his head was cut off, if he cursed me like this, when I was fine, if our eyes met, my body would stiffen even for a moment.
In a life-and-death battle, even a moment’s hesitation can lead to a fatal wound.
let’s go back to this
The existence of Green Medusa must be known.
I turned to where my teammates were.
-Quaaaaaang!
Explosions rang out in the distance.
Vibration through the ground. It’s not very far.
There is even a competing team in a forest teeming with 3-star monsters
…
Remembering where the sound came from, I kicked my feet.
Is it because of haste? It was quick to get to where the team was.
As if they all heard the explosion, they remain in formation and remain vigilant.
“Mr. Evileye!”
The weapon pointed at me goes down.
I told you the information I found out quickly.
“I heard the explosion from the west side. It’s the same direction we need to go.”
“There must be another team, right?”
“I will. As a result of the reconnaissance, there was a green Medusa, a 3-star monster.”
Team members get nervous at the word Green Medusa.
All of these 3-star monsters will have enough skill to catch, but the answer is to be careful with monsters with special abilities.
“How about Daejin?”
“I haven’t come yet.”
Could it be that the green Medusa fell for it?
If you haven’t prepared in advance, it’s quite possible.
Not good. Battles may occur. One member of the team may become a prisoner if left alone.
no. You may die from monsters before that.
Hunting monsters would make noise, and it was obvious that the opposing team that was already fighting would come this way.
because.
‘It’s better to attack the other team while the power is maintained to increase the chance of survival.’
If you neutralize only one team, you can easily clear the 31st floor.
The team that arrives last will be eliminated.
You have to choose. Waiting for the return of Godaejin, who went out to scout, and figure out the enemy’s movement. Or will you move to find the Ancient Jin?
Everyone seemed to be thinking the same thing.
“Let’s go find Daejin.”
I opened my mouth.
You can’t lose a teammate from the start.
Even if you fight against enemies, you have the confidence to win.
As I looked around the team and asked for their consent, everyone nodded.
“I’ll go right away.”
Kim Seo-gyun, who was in charge of the short-range dealer, moved in the direction where Go Dae-jin disappeared, holding up a sword and shield.
-Bouseureuk
“Oh. Did you see what was going on over there?”
Ancient Jin appeared between the bushes.
The hair and clothes are full of leaves, probably because of camouflage.
Seeing that calm appearance, Choi Young-mi crumpled her face.
“You know what happened!”
“Why are you angry? You came safely.”
Ko Dae-jin, who shrugged, opened the bag with the corner of his mouth raised.
“I even brought a present.”
