Stuck in The Tower - Chapter 479
Chapter 480 85th Floor
The light fades and the surrounding environment comes into view.
I am in the realm of fire. Definitely different. It wasn’t a mistake to feel that the flames became stronger after clearing the dungeon and bringing back the Fragment of the Fire Spirit King.
No, if this is enough…
“It’s just hellfire?”
“To that.”
Deokchun cries softly as if he doesn’t like it. Even if it’s a spiritual thing, first of all, it’s a frog, so it likes moist things rather than dry things.
There is no problem with being active as one of the characteristics is flame, but there is a preference.
“You’re here.”
A pro who welcomes me
wave your hand casually
Wait a minute…..
“You seem to have grown a bit?”
“You’ll find out right away. The power of fire is so strong, how could I, as a spirit, not be affected? It won’t be just here. It’s the same everywhere else.”
The guy who came up to my chest when we stood together now comes up to my chin.
Spirits are very nature-friendly beings, so they seem to be affected a lot by the environment.
I’ve heard of it. I diligently searched for information about monsters and gates even before I climbed the tower.
‘It used to be mentioned as an effective way to exterminate the spirits.’
Opinions differ, but the spirits that come out of the gate are also classified as monsters.
There are times when they wander around and disappear without incident, but there are times when they cause damage.
Since it has a mild personality, the method of attack is determined to eliminate it without fighting as much as possible.
‘Did they say that they were building an environment opposite to their attributes?’
When the fire spirit comes, the first thing that comes running is the fire engine. Snow machines used only at ski resorts are also deployed, and hunters who can use ice-type skills give priority to support.
Occasionally, they become irritable and riotous, but most of them disappear after their strength fades.
Conversely, what if you encounter an environment that fits your attributes?
What’s the trouble then? There was a time when a gate burst in the sea, water spirits appeared, and waves tens of meters high hit.
It’s not our country’s story, but it happened in Japan, but I remember that a tsunami occurred locally and the civilian damage was severe.
“It looks like the dimensional interference has been released to some extent, but is this normal? Because I don’t know the spirit realm well.”
“Can that be? The spirit realm is a harmonious place, although the areas are divided. This goes too far.”
Is it still not normal?
He frowned.
“Was it correct not to break the dungeon?”
“That’s not it either. If left as it is, the dimensional interference would have intensified, the space would have been further distorted, and the dimension would have collapsed.”
In short, it’s because you chose the lesser evil to avoid the worst.
It’s what I felt while going through the 80th floor, but even if I try to escape from the damned destruction, I cling to it persistently.
It was the same with the giants. After blocking the meteorite at best, Delverton woke up and flowed according to the prophecy of destruction.
Either way things get worse. At least this is the top, and progress is made by chapter, so what if this was what actually happened?
‘All kinds of incidents and accidents happen simultaneously. There will be places that can’t be covered.’
What if a big event that could be a trigger occurs, but what happens in Korea is prevented, but what happens on the other side of the globe?
Then there is no answer. It also means that you cannot cover everything by yourself.
In other words, gathering a few outstanding people cannot escape destruction. At least you need someone to buy you time so things don’t get worse.
It will be the same for this floor. I’ll have to join the other guys, but before that, let’s finish everything we can.
[Memories are created as the chapter progresses.
]
New memories come to mind with a thrilling headache.
How much time has passed since I cleared the first chapter.
I don’t know exactly because the concept of time is not clear.
“About two months have passed.”
Memories that entered my head I could see what the disharmony I said in the first chapter meant.
Although the environment of each attribute was already rampaging, it became stronger as the dungeons everywhere were cleared and the fragments of the Spirit King were absorbed.
If there’s one thing I’ve learned…
‘There are only four spirit kings, fire, water, wind, and land.’
The pinnacle of all spirits. A fundamental yet powerful being.
they are all dead As the fragments of power left behind during extinction were absorbed, the balance was broken, and this is the result.
There’s one more thing I need to point out here.
[There is an existing climber.]
[Chapter II- Suppression stage ends.]
[Transferred to the ongoing chapter.]
[Chapter II- Split division]
In this chapter, there is a climber who climbed before us.
Just as the members and top hunters moved over to the chapter I was attacking in the giant world, this time I moved over to the chapter someone else was working on.
How did he clear Chapter I?
“I’m going crazy.”
Brief, but understandable.
Cleared the dungeon like us. He also brought a fragment of the Spirit King.
Up to this point, there was nothing different.
“Is this kid doing this on purpose?”
He scattered the fragments he brought out elsewhere. The wind shards are in the fire spirit area, the earth shards are in the water spirit area, and the rest is the same.
It is a spectacle to see in vaguely recalled memories. Waterfalls poured down like a flood from the lofty gorges, and the fire grew stronger with the wind.
The wind, carrying fragments of water, raged and destroyed the area.
The synergy of each attribute made it more powerful. When I said that this was also an interaction, I had nothing to say, but…
‘It’s rather that they’re stimulating each other rather than being in harmony.’
It can be said that this can also be said to be the appearance of nature by yielding a hundred steps…
“The power of the four elements has become too great. In this way, other spirits cannot function. There are people who have already lost their place to live and are disappearing. The tree spirits are already on the verge of extinction.”
For the other spirits, it was no different from a disaster. This is the result of incongruity.
It was especially terrible for the spirit realm. As much as they are greatly influenced by the surrounding environment, spirits who are distracted by excessive energy have appeared.
That’s all. The balance is disrupted as the small group of spirits who have lost their place to live disappear.
As the rules were broken, the spirits also changed.
“Ghaaaagh!”
“It’s okay.”
A monster jumped out of the flames and attacked me.
A guy who dares to attack openly, as if he has no intention of hiding his momentum. He swung his sword lightly, but only slightly hesitated, but did not step back.
It is quite large. A semi-large monster. To be precise, it was a spirit, but its current appearance was no different from that of a monster. It’s a pretty powerful monster.
“The lower the rank, the easier it is to lose oneself. It’s like turning yourself into an animal.”
Prone, who sent a pitiful look, raised her hand and held it out to the guy who was pressing her mouth.
He looked worried that he might be swallowed in one bite.
– Hwaaaaaagh!
Formidable fire rose from Prone’s hand.
Super-high flames that are so blue that they look white.
I also covered my eyes and squinted. Is this really a fire spirit? I thought I was good at setting fires, but I have a feeling that a guy who was born with fire is a few steps behind.
“I don’t think there is one. Let’s leave for now.”
Signs are felt from all sides. As the energy overflowed, the runaway spirits increased.
A much stronger appearance than usual. The one that Prone just caught is also a modified object of Salamander. At most, it was a 2-star, but this guy showed more than 4-star power.
Only the lowest-level spirits, who do not have a proper self yet, are changing, but it will become worse as time goes on.
What if the prone next to you changed like that?
‘I don’t want to think about it.’
You may not know it, but it will become a monster worthy of being called a disaster.
I haven’t met them yet, but there must be other high-ranking spirits other than Prone.
I think you should meet them first. We need an NPC who resists destruction more actively.
As I hurriedly moved my steps, I continued to hear my doubts.
Why is Prone not interested in destruction? I heard the approximate reason, but is that really all?
‘There must be a personal reason.’
Asking deeply about destruction is also not pleasant for NPCs.
I went ahead, expecting to be told when the time came.
* * *
Where a typhoon rages.
The rain was mixed with the strong wind, so it was difficult to even look ahead.
“I see that the spirit world is going crazy.”
The shuddering licker let out an annoyed noise.
She also knew the general situation because she had cleared the dungeon in the first chapter and brought the fragment of the Spirit King.
In particular, the existence next to me experienced it firsthand.
“To make such a sound of pain. You can’t be too weak! Can you escape destruction like this!”
Catrans, a higher spirit of lightning, shouted.
The entity we met in the first chapter. As soon as I checked the climber, he clung to me like a leech and nagged at me.
Every time it thundered and hit my ears.
“Could you shut up? It feels like my eardrums burst every time I open my mouth. I’ll get rid of Mr.
“Sometimes! Where did the little guy say such harsh words! Speaking of this body, even before your ancestors were born, it was a body that traveled across the spirit realm and the middle realm with countless heroes!”
“Ah, here we go again.”
Licking covers his ears with a tired expression. He sincerely thought about whether the spirit could be crushed by compression, but he didn’t say anything special.
If it was a spirit that could understand it verbally, it would have understood it a long time ago. Having to mix things up only made it more annoying. Even if it’s not much to do, it’s helpful for the attack.
Just as Cho Hyun-soo felt, Lick Jjak is also aware of it. That the second chapter is currently moving in an abnormal flow.
“Catrance, did the original spirit realm flow like this?”
“Hmm, that’s a good question. I thought you were just stupid, but you’re asking a pretty useful question.”
Not knowing that the licker was clenching his fists, Kattrans went on.
“There are some things I don’t remember because the chapter hasn’t completely passed yet, but they are similar. Even then, the spirit world was collapsing like this.”
The collapsed spirit realm. They weren’t just watching blindly because they were spirits.
Even though it is a spirit that lives in another dimension, it is a being belonging to the world in which it was born.
Without that foundation, they couldn’t survive.
“I remember seeing the dungeon in the first chapter and getting the idea. no that was the beginning There will be more interference with other dimensions.”
Cattrans’s words made Lick’s eyes narrow.
I’ve cleared the dungeon and came out, but it’s getting more like that?
why? I couldn’t help but wonder, but I had no choice but to keep my mouth shut.
“I dreamed of an escape plan. Even if the spirit realm is a mess, as long as it is maintained, we will not perish. The rest of the spirits just need to live in another dimension through contracts.”
Can’t stop the spirit realm from collapsing?
If that’s the case, it’s enough to evacuate to another place without letting it disappear completely.
Just…..
“…Wait a minute then what if the contract ends? What about the spirits who can’t make contracts? The number of spirits is not small.”
It was just a car choice. Instead of addressing the root cause, it’s just postponing it.
Even that was not the case for everyone, but Katrance asked again.
“Did you think then that you would be able to escape destruction without any sacrifice or giving up?”
