Stuck in The Tower - Chapter 502

Chapter 503 A Hero?

A message floated up. The 3rd corps commander, Gedrick, said that he would pursue me. Shail and Nagma’s expressions hardened in an instant, as if I wasn’t the only one who saw the message.

“The stigma of the Mama tribe!”

“I have to go to the church right now! The demons’ stigma is persistent, so they’ll track it down somehow!”

It’s the demon’s stigma. That’s how it’s called here.

It’s annoying. Either way, you can figure out where I am. I don’t know what the process is like.

It won’t reveal my exact location like GPS. It’s not just being optimistic.

“are you okay. There have been several times like this.”

“uh?”

“yes?”

I’m thinking because I’ve already experienced it.

As I climbed the tower, there were not one or two people who had a grudge against me. Disasters and worshipers, even if it wasn’t demons, now even fragments of chaos were chasing me.

It’s ridiculous to think about it again.

“Did they come to you so far? I went for it.”

It’s not even funny to see the guys who were subordinated to the tower and clinging to their floors come looking for you.

Shile and Nagma made questionable faces at my grumbling, but they didn’t hesitate to ask.

He let out a small sigh.

It’ll be better here though. Being on the same floor and above all belonging to the scenario, it will appear in front of me.

Isn’t that good news? The evil that throws the world into chaos says it will stick its neck out on its own. When we meet, we have to cut it in half.

“You know that you are confident in your skills, but the people called the Demons are very clever. They will attack people when they are at their weakest.”

“Then you just have to be strong enough to handle the weakest.”

“No…”

Nagma, speechless at my answer, grimaced.

I’m not saying this in empty words. Because now I had the idea that I really had to reach that level.

Come to think of it, I haven’t had many battles in my best condition.

got everything to get All that remains is to enter the Spirit Tower and meet the warriors and worshipers, the warlocks.

It would be good for everyone if the demons were also chopped into pieces on the way.

Before that…

“You go back now.”

“How can I go back alone!”

Nagma shakes her head with a determined face.

baek!

He hit the boy right in the head.

“Hehe!”

“If you go, go. I thought I would take it with me, but I can’t yet. I can’t guarantee my life.”

“Great. If it’s to defeat the demons, I’ll be with Evileye.”

Why are you burdened? Even when I first saw it, I was busy shooting holy magic and doubting it.

He has the same expression as a comrade who went to war with him just because he caught a demon.

It’s not bad to take him if it’s useful, but it’s not bad from an objective point of view, but it was clear that if a stronger demon pops out, he won’t be able to use much force.

I already showed him everything I had to show him.

Demons I also saw demons created from fragments of the 3rd Corps commander’s soul. It is also revealed that this place is the ruins of the Demon Realm.

It was a hundred times better to inform the church about this and bring reinforcements than to go inside with me.

Gradually, I grabbed the boy’s shoulder. I spoke seriously to the guy who flinched at the thought of hitting his head again.

“You have an important mission. Even though this ghost town is only at the entrance of the Spirit Tower, a great figure like this has made an appearance.”

He pointed to the place where the lich disappeared after being turned into powder.

“There must be more monsters lurking in the Spirit Tower. The church’s judgment was wrong. The current preparedness will only increase the damage.”

“That kind of…”

“A lot of people’s lives depended on you. Even the priests who came here in the name of the Imperial Army God. You do not intend to lead them to a futile death, do you?”

He grabbed his shoulder with both hands.

“Go and tell me this. Gather your strength to more reliably defeat the demons and warlocks and come back. I will earn the time until then.”

Finally, when I said the guy’s name with strength, the guy who had bitten his lip nodded resolutely.

“All right. No matter what happens, I will inform the Church of everything I have seen and gather reasonable forces!”

“I believe in you.”

“By the way, who is this guy?”

Nagma glanced at Shile. He said yes, but why did he take this guy with him?

Shile, who read the meaning, smiled and shrugged.

“under! I mean, I’m strong enough to go inside with Evileye.”

“This guy doesn’t. I don’t have the ability to get out of here alone. You must go.”

“ah.”

Nagma, admiring a little, left the ruins asking to leave it.

“Whatever that is, if you work hard, you will be fine.”

Don’t forget to comfort Shile before leaving.

Maybe it’s because he’s a religious person, but he’s a good person. They also support people who haven’t seen it in a while.

Shile, who received the support, had an expression of chewing shit.

“I tell you clearly, I am not weak. As a rare spirit wizard and a member of the collapsed magic tower…”

“Yes. You’re right.”

Let’s quickly agree and move on, the guy who was about to say something hardened his mouth and followed.

These are not empty words. To be honest, this guy’s skills are similar to Nagma’s. no Objectively, it’s worse.

Even so, I think it’s useful, so I’m taking it with me. If it wasn’t for that, I would have taken Nagma with him when he went.

“As you said, spirit magic is rare. The same goes for demons. Holy magic has no delay and is powerful, but the demons continue to be careful.”

Is that all?

“Since it is a force opposite to magic, demons intuitively notice that divine magic is being used. It was like that before. The advantage of divine magic, which is equivalent to instant strike, is disappearing.”

Both Shail and Nagma had cast magic to keep the 3rd Corps Commander’s soul fragment in check.

In terms of strength, Nagma had the upper hand, but the magic that reached through his offensive was Shile’s.

Did he just pay attention to divine magic because it was more dangerous? No way. If that was the reason, they would have focused on me whether or not they used magic.

couldn’t stop it because it’s unfamiliar Or because it was buried in divine magic and its presence diminished. The secrecy unique to spirit magic must have also played a role.

‘At least when it comes to dealing with demons, this guy might be a bit more helpful.’

some kind of variable Divine magic would be the right way to go straight, but I already have an Awakener with divine power. There is no need to force one side to the other.

Did my sincerity work?

“Hmm, you know. okay. I am of great help.”

The guy is also satisfied.

Of course, the reason so far is about 20% of all reasons.

‘If I just let this guy go, it won’t be easy to contact the collapsed Mage Tower later.’

This was the reason for the remaining 80%, but I didn’t bother to say it.

After all, sometimes you have to hide the truth.

Spirit Tower.

A place where many people, including heroes, were once buried.

As it is a place divided by social status, people from famous families such as royalty and nobility were enshrined in privately owned or state-designated cemeteries, but no other people.

Sometimes I miss my hometown. Those who died fighting on the side of the weak come here. Those who could not hold a funeral and held a funeral with the help of the church also gathered here.

In a way, it could be seen as a graveyard for everyone, but that was also an old saying. The door to the demon world has opened and the world has changed, and the appearance of this place has also changed…

“It’s bloody.”

“The Spirit Tower was famous as a place where dark energy gathered even before the Pandemonium opened. It wasn’t quite like this.”

Now, as soon as I entered the cemetery, I felt a bleak aura.

In the space created by the gathering of several bald mountains, there were tombstones that had been left unattended, and the bones of unknown animals were not uncommon.

where it has been written for a long time. The tombstones entered at random rather than deliberately under someone’s management were bizarrely bent, and the deserted places were believed to be psychic spots.

Oh, it’s a real spot.

“Geeyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!”

A ghost-type monster with an unclear shape rushes at you. You don’t know how many times you run into them after entering the Spirit Tower.

“Go Mangu!”

“Kiaaaaaagh!”

At my command, the specter holding the Demon Spear rushed forward and pierced the enemy.

Ghost disappears without even screaming. I hope you went to a good place.

Seeing that, Shile looks at me with a puzzled expression.

“I thought he was a holy mage even though he didn’t belong to the church, but he’s not a black mage, right? no If that’s the case, it wouldn’t make sense to have divine power. What the hell is it?”

“You’re just a normal person.”

“Aren’t you learning the word ‘ordinary’ wrong? The equipment is not normal.”

They were all junk mobs that were annoying to catch, so I called Mangu to get rid of them.

I admit that it’s an efficient way to do it or not. At least I didn’t use my stamina in useless places.

If there’s one thing you’re worried about.

‘It’s too quiet. I thought they’d run at it like crazy as soon as they came inside.’

It’s that they’re quieter than you think.

Is it because we haven’t reached the core area yet? Or maybe he was focusing on the group of warriors and wasn’t interested in this side.

I raised my head and looked at the tower visible through the fog.

The reason why this place is called the Spirit Tower is because of that. An ossuary built for those who do not even have a tombstone.

It’s news, but it’s said that it’s not just those who can’t afford to go there.

Even among those who are called saints or churches, there are often people who wish to leave bone meal there in order to be with the weak in order to humble themselves.

Of course I can’t now.

funny story. Such a place has now become the devil’s den.

“stop.”

As I moved toward that place, I raised my hand in a weak gesture.

Shile also stops as soon as he sees the hand signal and uses spirit magic. I turned my head to where the noise came from.

“Hey, you know this right away. Nice to meet you.”

Soon after, a group appeared.

mercenary?

That was my first impression. Even though I was wearing the equipment, it was obvious that I was rolling in the actual battle.

Sword marks drawn here and there. A slightly dented shield.

If there is a characteristic, it is that the members of the group have a variety of races?

Behind the human who seems to be the boss, a strong-looking beastman and an elven archer. There was a member of the church who was wearing a hood and seemed to be an unknown wizard and priest.

I could recognize it because I had heard Shile’s story. At the very least, it’s on the same or similar level as Nagma. The symbol of the church he is wearing is also red.

is that maybe? The Red Gold Magic Division, which is classified into Tier 3 and Tier 4 along with Blue Gold.

I don’t know if it’s a healer. First of all, Honggeum belongs to the Holy Magic Corps. Priest is different.

It doesn’t matter. You have to think about why these guys are here.

“You must be a hero who came to punish the evil tribes and warlocks.”

“I don’t know the hero, but the purpose is right.”

“ha ha ha! Be humble. Me too. No, me and all my colleagues do. It is called Gaen.”

The guy holding the sword held out his hand to me.

“He is a warrior who will put an end to the chaos.”

Warrior?

I stopped extending my hand.

this guy?

I carefully looked at him and his colleagues.

“I’m tired.”

recited little.
