Stuck in The Tower - Chapter 279

The Two Rings of

the Collapsing Stone Tower .

One of them must be owned by an angel named Meruga, and the other one is Ellie?

It would have been normal for a member of the church to have it, but…

“Looking at you remaining here, it seems that things haven’t worked out.”

“To that.”

Isn’t it clearly written in the item description?

Meruga is waiting for her answer.

One thing to note here.

Meruga exists inside the tower. So it says wait.

If already dead, ‘Meruga waited for her answer until she died.’ Wouldn’t it have been written this way?

-Tak

music box, no ring case closed and put in inventory.

I know it has something to do with the quest. If you go to either Meruga or Ellie, you’ll be able to do anything.

I don’t know if there is a person named Ellie in the tower.

More than that, they’re angels…

I met various races while climbing, but I didn’t see many angels.

Lack of information. Not all angels are the same, there should be one or two heavenly worlds.

I spend time lying on the sofa thinking about miscellaneous things.

“What are you doing there?”

I glanced toward the stairs and saw Shepin poking his head out.

I don’t know if he was trying to hide, but I can see him because of his one horn.

As if he knew that too, he was looking at me with his eyes blinking.

A snowball fight started unexpectedly.

Say no. I don’t have the knack for reading minds with just my eyes.

I took a deep breath and sat down on the sofa.

Then Shepin sneakily approached.

“I just heard a familiar sound.”

Naturally, Shepin, sitting next to her, snapped her fingers.

Two tea cups summoned with him.

He quietly accepted the teacup she offered.

I’ve been curious about this for a long time, but NPCs summon things well with the snap of their fingers.

Is it an ability or a privilege given to an NPC?

a little greedy Aside from being practical, something cool.

“There’s a thing that summons things by snapping your fingers, isn’t that a skill?”

“Oh is this? It’s a gesture artifact. It’s about taking things out and putting them in by designating actions.”

There is such a thing.

A fact I didn’t know. Is the tower wide and has many items?

i’ll have to look for it later

As I entered the 60th floor, the inventory space increased and I had several sub-space items, so I was not in a hurry.

More than that…

“What do you mean by familiar sound?”

“Mmmmmm. hmm. It was a melody like this… It’s been a long time, so I can’t remember it well.”

It was clumsy and had a slightly different feel, but I could see what he was talking about.

The melody from the music box I just opened.

“It’s one of the popular songs when I was in heaven. Back then, I hated it because I could hear it everywhere I went, but now I like it. You must have heard it wrong. Heaven is already… It seems that I have been mistaken after meeting someone for the first time in a while.”

Horok.

Shepin, who swallowed the tea, tries to stand up.

Hey, where are you going?

this made it clear That the heavens where Shepin was and the heavens where the owner of the music box was are the same place.

Even the timing of their activities is similar.

“It is not an illusion. I heard it from here.”

I took the music box out of my inventory again and opened the lid.

A melody that sounds with him.

Shepin’s eyes widened.

“…that’s from a noble family.”

“Are you noble?”

I immediately found out the source of the item.

Are the Elyos also a class society? I didn’t know this.

“Can I see you for a second?”

“As much as you like. Do you know an angel named Meruga? I want to see you at the top. It’s even better if you know someone named Ellie. I heard you belong to the Five Wings Church.”

I asked the names of the two people just in case, but there was no answer.

I just looked around the music box and even took out the ring to check the sentences and jewels engraved inside.

It wasn’t until the tea cooled down that she raised her head.

“Right. It’s the pattern of the Duke’s family.”

Lean over and show the music box and the pattern on the inside of the ring.

At first glance, it looks like a magic circle.

In the center, the pattern of crossed index fingers was engraved.

“It must have been a fairly high status, but he proposed to a human… I don’t know if it was a whim or just a play, but I don’t think it ended well. Did you say Meruga? I guess I’ve heard of it.”

“It means he has a problem.”

“No, who would dare harm a noble? If you’re a duke, even the royal family won’t treat you carelessly. If there’s a problem, it’s the human side. Wouldn’t it be nice if you didn’t harm me by saying you don’t even know the fraction?”

I have a feeling that things are going to get messed up already.

I have no idea about the identity system. Because I’ve never been through it, and I’ve never had anything to experience.

In modern society, after the era of money and power has changed, the world in which people live changes depending on their power, but their social status is not clearly divided.

I hear it’s a bit different here.

“There is a saying. The demon realm is friendly with the fairy realm, and the heaven realm is friendly with the spirit realm.”

What are you trying to say?

At first glance, it doesn’t seem like a suitable combination.

“Fairies and demons like to joke about the same thing, but demons are more violent and harmless.”

“I think I know what it feels like. Then, what about the closeness of the spirit world and the heaven world?”

“Both places are perfect identity systems. High-ranking people get along well.”

got it right away

From birth, spirits are divided into upper and lower classes in this way.

Even receiving the call of the tower was limited.

It tells us that the world of heaven is no less a class society.

Again, that’s great.

Ophelia, the leader of the Noble Knights, met on the 60th floor.

she had said He said he was the only one who was recognized by the Elyos.

At that time, I thought it was so, but now I see it, it was a great thing.

“You said you were looking for Meruga, right? Since it’s a duke, if you’re in the tower, you’ll belong to the White Tree. It was a group created to play a role in the tower. That’s how they reject others.”

a white tree

It must be a force made up of NPCs.

“Is that true for climbers?”

“Are you human? They may think of themselves as lowly beings to worship. I live on thanks to my faith.”

scratched his head

Somehow, Fleta’s temperament was dirty. Maybe it was because she was looking at me this way.

If this statement is true, it would not be easy to even approach.

Are you trying to give me an answer?

Shepin looked at me gently.

“Maybe there are some of Kenlock’s keepsakes that might be of some help. Kenlock was also from an aristocratic background. To do that, you have to clear the quest I gave you, right?”

“I was thinking of doing it anyway.”

finally origin.

no, it was rather good.

Accepted quest anyway. To clear the 62nd floor, you have to go outside and wallow with disaster.

It’s a good thing if I can get something to help with the next quest.

this is it though

“Shepin doesn’t seem to have good feelings for the nobles.”

Every time he talked about the status quo, the celestial world, and the aristocracy, he was strangely aggressive.

As if my words were true, she nodded her head obediently.

“If you are from the bottom, everyone will be of the same mind. It’s late at night. You really need to rest.”

After that, Shepin went upstairs and I lay down on the sofa and went to sleep.

quiet space.

“It’s strange.”

I murmured softly.

Why does Shepin, who hates nobles so much, want to recover the body of Kenlock, an aristocrat?

* * *

The day was bright.

good condition. After filling our stomachs with simple bread and lunch boxes, we packed our equipment.

Most of them were stored in the inventory and subspace, so there was nothing special about them.

“Are you going out?”

“It should be. I can’t just sit still.”

I’ve already laid out a rough plan.

Yesterday, Shepin also explained the disaster on the 62nd floor in detail.

I also wrote down the precautions, so now it was time to check with my own two eyes and act with my body.

You have to hit something and see.

“Go carefully.”

“Do you want to do more than just die?”

“…Isn’t it okay if I die?”

Shepin muttered something, but he waved his hand and ignored it.

I don’t know if anyone else knows, but I’m fine.

Okay then.

-I

opened the door and stepped outside.

cool wind.

It might have drizzled the night before, and it smells like damp grass.

The weather is nice and the sky is clear.

I was wondering what kind of demonic land is waiting for me, but the scenery is neat.

A house built between gentle slopes.

Traces of those who lived with Shepin can be seen around.

Simply put, there are many abandoned houses.

The sunlight was bright, so it didn’t look dreary, but it wasn’t so nice to see the inside of it broken here and there.

There doesn’t seem to be any corpses or remains, so it doesn’t look like there was an accident. just abandoned.

It’s a village unit…..

Is this a structure where, like the 61st floor, if you overcome a disaster, the villagers go up together?

I don’t know. for not saying otherwise

I took out the note I had put in my pocket and listened.

A map of the supposed location of Kenlock’s body is drawn along with simple precautions.

Judging by the location, we should move east.

There seems to be a mountain in the middle, and fields around it?

The mountain is not high, so you should be able to go over it and come back in one day.

– Taat

I ran forward.

Unlike usual, there is one reason why the explosion did not fly upward.

‘The 62nd floor is at a disadvantage if the field of view is wide.’

I was told to look at the floor when moving.

It’s a good advice to get a turtle neck, but it was a realistic and effective method.

because.

“That’s it.”

“What’s around you, Deokchun?”

The disaster on the 62nd floor is not a monster.

It was a phenomenon, like a law.

Deokchun, who was on top of his head, cries low.

A message that emerged with authority.

[Deokchun (Chaos Frog) resists the disaster.]

[The presence as a spirit creature is superior!]

[Effect of chaos!]

[Unaffected by disaster!]

As expected, King God Frog.

I felt it when Mestoka and Deodeok, but Deokchun has great resistance when it comes to strange phenomena or high-level beings.

That’s why Deodeok slaps the cheeks and chews up mestoca eggs.

It seems that a spiritual creature is a greater existence than I imagined.

Even if the impact is catastrophic.

It’s a pity, but I’m not a spirit creature.

Judging from the message, it seems that if the chaos level is high, I can endure it to some extent, but there is no guarantee that I will be able to endure it, so there is nothing wrong with being careful.

“which?”

“To the ark.”

At my question, Deokchun taps his left side.

Reception complete.

Don’t even look to the left.

It can’t be helped that it’s a bit annoying, but it should be ignored if possible.

I have to ignore it.

“Quaaaaaagh!”

“Yeah, why didn’t you come out?”

The environment doesn’t allow that.

A huge metal bear attacking me.

It was a 5-star monster Metal Bear.

[Cutting (S) Lv. 1]

[Slaughter (S) Lv. 2]

-I quickly

pulled out my sword and swung it horizontally.

The neatly cut in half fell to the floor and blood soaked the floor.

It’s funny that it’s about a 5-star monster.

The guys who were lying around on the 61st floor were so tough.

The problem

is

…..

It’s not just one or two of them attacking me.

I raised my head.

The sound of footsteps on the ground. The stink and stench that you can feel at the tip of your nose.

At least 5-star and 6-star monsters were often mixed, and the number was at least 50.

“Kwaaaang!”

“Kihiiik!”

It only took a moment for them to attack me.

He spurred his foot and drew his sword, causing an explosion.

-Chwaaaaagh!

-Quaaaaaang!

It is an aurora beam for an electric shock.

I break out in a cold sweat from the tension.

Are they dangerous?

no.

During the battle, I had no choice but to have a wide field of view.

The moment I cut the head of the guy who rushes in front of me and rushes at me.

[Facing the collapsing stone tower.]

“Damn it.”

i watched it

A 62-story, disastrous, collapsing stone tower.

The timing of recognizing that you saw it.

“Haaaaaagh!”

The moment when a 6-star monster attacked me and I reflexively turned my head.

-Kurrureung –

My body collapsed along with the
stone tower.
