Stuck in The Tower - Chapter 28

Chapter 28 To the 7th floor

“Heuk!”

My mind is dizzy.

As much as I am hugging him, damage is coming to me as well.

A shock that felt like the whole body would be torn to pieces.

Tinnitus rings in the ears at the sound of the explosion, and a stone shard protrudes into the helmet, stinging the eyes.

Smoke rising violently.

heated armor.

Whole body burned to black.

It was the same that Oh Ji-hyeok couldn’t come to his senses.

– Kwadeuk!

Looking for an opportunity, I bit off the brooch hanging from his chest.

The gum was punctured and blood was leaking out, but I didn’t care.

– Jjiik!

His clothes were ripped and the brooch came out.

I didn’t just do this crazy thing.

I did it because I thought I had a chance.

“Oh no!”

As the brooch disappeared, Oh Ji-hyeok’s resistance drastically diminished.

This means that the buff effect is gone.

then what’s left

“It’s a hell party, son of a bitch!”

“Damn it—!”

[Fire Bomb (B) Lv.1]

-Ahh!

Explosion erupts again.

Every time you use it, mana is sucked out.

dizziness level.

But I didn’t stop.

Because I was thinking of fighting here.

[Fire Bomb (B) Lv. 1]

[Fire Bomb (B) Lv. 1]

[Skill level up!]

[Fire Bomb (B) Lv. 2]

Maybe because I kept using it.

Raised to skill level. That is to say.

“Aaaaaaaaa!”

“Haaaaaagh!”

That said, the explosive power increased.

I think I will die.

“Isn’t that supposed to dry?”

“Can you get in there?”

“That’s…”

Each member of the guild grabbed their weapon, but none of them approached.

The fight between me and Oh Ji-hyeok has already reached a point where a third party cannot intervene.

-The

skin that touches the heated armor is getting cooked and the heat permeates inside, burning my throat.

It’s a bonus that your head shakes from the shock and you feel sick.

The feeling of exhaustion is no joke as the mana wears off.

Arms and torso holding him?

I feel like my bones are about to break. The flesh seems to have been ripped a long time ago.

But I was able to hold on.

because.

-Lick lick lick lick!

[Recovery (F)]

[Recovery (F)]

[Recovery (F)]

.

.

.

Because Deokchun, who had been kept inside his armor, was licking his chest hard!

A trait developed by eating baekhwan. recovery. Its effect is being exerted.

Very weak but sure effect.

why isn’t there such a thing I think I’ll turn around, but I can’t die.

“Hehe. Heh heh heh.”

Laughter came out without my knowledge.

Do people lose their taste when they are under extreme stress?

Or is it because the situation itself is absurd?

My body hurts to death, my chest is wet, so it tickles me, and the guild members treat me like a crazy person.

“Oh, the devil. I am laughing.”

“He must be crazy!”

no. I’m just a petit bourgeois who covets skills and items.

I don’t even have the strength to speak. My mind is also confused.

Meanwhile, the explosion continues.

How long has it been?

Wasn’t it when the mana ran out?

Once again, I realized how high the magical power level of 11 is.

-Lick lick lick lick!

At that time, despite Deokchun’s flamboyant tongue movements, his consciousness kept blurring.

-Wood Deuk

“Keaheoeook!”

The man’s body shook greatly.

Resistance gone.

The shaking guy drooped at once, giving a creepy sensation.

is it over?

Or smoke?

I forcibly opened my eyes, which were stinging with sweat and ash.

“Ughhh.”

I could see Oh Ji-hyeok’s face, which had turned black.

There is not even a slight movement.

Only black smoke rises from the wide open mouth.

I slowly untied my hands.

–

Oh Ji-hyeok fell to the floor with a thud.

I stumbled and opened the distance.

The pain rose and his body trembled.

If a little more time had passed, I wouldn’t have been able to hold on either.

No, without Deokchun, it would have ended a long time ago.

Should I say I’m lucky Should I say it is an inevitable result?

It’s so hard, so hard.

“I won.”

The fact that I had beaten him made me feel good.

“Aaaaaaa!”

I roared loudly.

6th floor processing hall. A subordinate of a large guild.

Defeated the strongest man in this area in name and reality.

none other than me

Me, who almost got killed by the psychos while acting as a porter.

A splendid achievement that I achieved on my own without anyone’s help!

“To that.”

Oh cancel.

It is a pleasure to work with Deokchun.

I raised my thumb at Deokchun who was panting with his tongue out inside his armor.

good job. It is also a spirit.

“It’s okay.”

Let’s stop being thrilled here.

Because everything isn’t over yet.

I bent over, not moving very well.

Shouldn’t you take care of what you need to take care of?

-I

stuffed the brooch that fell on the floor into my pocket and took off the bracelet he had and put it on my wrist.

An item that annoyed me.

Boiling Power Brooch and Heavy Bracelet.

This item is mine now.

“Hehe.”

okay. Even a desolate tower is worth living if there is such a small happiness.

I expressed my gratitude to Oh Ji-hyeok, the manager who generously gave me a stop.

[The murderer has been eliminated!]

The body of the deceased Oh Ji-hyeok disappeared transparently.

If you still have coins left, you will be resurrected on the 6th floor, if not, you will go outside.

In my mind, I wanted to stay on the 6th floor and finish it for sure, but it seemed difficult to do so.

Because it doesn’t make sense to remain in the yard after this uproar.

‘As much as the manager is dead, other guilds will be wary.’

Considering that he was a processing officer, he was the elite of a large guild.

aka killer route.

It’s like working as a processing officer, gathering skills, receiving support, and quickly moving up based on a solid foundation.

It is known that because he did all kinds of dirty work, he was protected and treated by the guild even when he came out.

Once broken by me, you won’t be able to enjoy the same power as before.

Then, since we’ve packed our things, let’s leave.

‘There are too many people here.’

6th floor. safe zone.

Even if he is not as talented as Oh Ji-hyeok, there may be more strong players worth rubbing against.

You can never win in the current condition.

He lost his stamina and used a lot of mana. Deokchun is also gasping for help.

Frog here and there. He must have had a hard time in the heat of the explosion.

I’ll have to feed you something delicious later.

peculiar guy.

He put his hand inside his armor and scratched his head.

“Geek!”

“evil!”

Deokchun refused by biting his finger.

Why is the jaw so strong when it comes to frogs?

I thought I cut my finger off.

That’s it.

[Clear the killer quest.]

[Skill book will be provided.]

I looked at the notification that the killer quest was cleared.

this is not important

A small booklet that descends from the sky.

From the outside, it may not seem like a big deal, but it is a valuable item that allows you to automatically learn skills.

It’s a pity, but it seems that only one popped up.

even one somewhere It’s not like I’m getting more greedy.

It feels good to have two items.

‘What’s coming out?’

I was curious, but after receiving the skill book, I immediately put it in my backpack.

Time has passed longer than expected. For safety’s sake, they had to cross the portal.

Fortunately, the guild members did not stop them, but only checked them, as if they were fed up with the battle between me and Oh Ji-hyeok.

well thought out

Even though I’m tired, it’s not to the extent that I can’t catch even a small fish.

“let’s go.”

I’m also fed up with the 6th floor.

Combat is no longer a specification.

– Quaang!

He trudged and kicked the barricade.

It shakes violently, but does not break.

I made it hard too.

I kicked and kicked one after another with annoyance. -I

was able to break down the barricade within

a short time .

A portal that shines brightly.

I headed inside without hesitation.

Now on the 7th floor.

* * *

An hour after Cho Hyun-soo left.

Oh Ji-hyuk woke up at an inn that the Sangun Guild rented out.

The guild members guarding the surroundings strictly.

Oh Ji-hyeok, who quietly blinked, frowned.

[Remaining Coin: 1]

“…I lost.”

Coins remained, but pride was trampled.

At least here, he prided himself on being the strongest.

“Are you awake!”

“Oh yeah.”

A guild member came over and tried to help him, but Oh Ji-hyeok waved his hand.

There was no time to be obsessed with defeat.

I had to report it to the upper level, and more than anything.

“damn. It’s gone too.”

The priority was to figure out which skill was missing.

killer penalty.

As much as he gained a skill by killing someone, he also had to spit out the skill when he died.

Oh Ji-hyeok, who wiped his face for a moment, gritted his teeth.

– Pudeuk!

‘I will definitely chase and kill that bastard!’

Even if I lost once, there was no guarantee that I would lose again.

It wasn’t just because of the guild’s order.

Pride. that was the problem

“That manager.”

“wait. Reporting to the top comes first.”

The guild member tried to convey something, but Oh Ji-hyeok stopped him.

You must submit a report at once.

An unknown person has risen to the top.

And he said he would go up too.

-Titling

After a while, the reply came.

simple content.

– Permit.

“It’s nice to be cool.”

Oh Ji-hyeok pursed his lips.

I thought I would hold you back for once.

It wasn’t something I couldn’t understand.

mission failed. Besides, until you lose.

There’s no reason for him to keep his position as manager.

‘The manager is a being who reigns in fear.’

It lost its meaning the moment it was defeated.

Fear that can be defeated is no longer fear.

“I can’t stay here forever.”

Tuk-tuk. Oh Ji-hyeok, who got up from his seat, called out the most senior among his subordinates.

A guild member whose leg was broken the other day.

From now on, this guy will be the handler.

It’s not very reliable, but it’s quite capable nonetheless.

Because Oh Ji-hyeok himself wasn’t a monster from the beginning.

If enough time passes and skills are acquired, they will become stronger.

I’ve been through some hardships in the meantime.

“From now on, you will follow me and learn the duties of a handler.”

“Yes yes?”

“It is an order from the superior.”

The guild members were taken aback by the sudden notification.

“I see!”

He soon lowered his head.

For him too, being the manager was a great opportunity.

Oh Ji-hyeok smiled and walked to the window.

In fact, even if I went straight up, no one would say anything, but I was thinking of finishing the aftermath.

Taking over. Because that’s basic.

the first one.

“While I was in Portal 5, something happened in the plaza.”

To settle the riots that broke out in the square.

What the hell kind of crazy guy did that?

“You must have caught the guy who ran amok, right?”

“That’s it.”

“done. Let’s look at the scene first. Quick normalization of the comfort zone. Because that’s more important. Write it down.” -Oh Ji-hyeok, who

lightly

tapped the officer on the shoulder, opened the window.

An inn owned by the Sangun Guild.

The top room was where Oh Ji-hyeok was staying, and he could see the plaza at a glance just by opening the window.

– Whoa, whoa,

what a refreshing breeze.

It was a feeling that calmed my troubled heart a little.

“Whoa.”

Oh Ji-hyeok calmly exhaled a deep breath.

But…

“…Fuck.”

A wide open square.

The place was devastated.

A broken control line. A barricade that has become a wreck.

When I look beyond the plaza, all the portals that were blocked have been opened.

When Oh Ji-hyeok’s face hardened, the next officer staggered forward.

“Oh that. Handler. We failed to stop him from appearing in the plaza. The portal was breached and the remaining people escaped at the same time, so the blockade is virtually meaningless. I’m sorry!”

–

A guild member who puts his head on his own without giving a bad report.

Oh Ji-hyeok pulled the back goal.
