Stuck in The Tower - Chapter 707
Episode 707: Everyone evacuates.
The fog brought by Erembatt.
The strange monsters and giants roaming around there were strong.
Of course not now.
“It’s good to destroy everything.”
All the nearby villages were destroyed.
It’s a bonus that every time I hear a sound that I don’t know whether it’s Erembatt’s scream or crying.
Since the monsters there were also wiped out, I think it was a pretty good result.
If you leave them alone, they will crawl onto the island anyway.
Now that everything nearby has been sorted out, it’s time to get out.
There is also the threat of being isolated if you go in blindly.
‘It’s a burden just to stay here for a long time.’
The toxic gases and hallucinations contained in the fog eat away at one’s sanity.
As fog gathered in the central island, the number of people complaining of stomachaches or mental pain also increased.
“If you feel like things are even slightly bad, let me know.”
“It’s still worth living.”
“I want to see the sunlight.”
We, who entered the fog, could not be an exception.
How to check your condition and condition from time to time.
Although we all have good mental strength, we do not know what will happen if fatigue and stress accumulate little by little.
First of all, I think Nyangpun and Lick Jjakk are okay.
“I’m fine, too, except that I’m stressed.”
“If you think a lot of positive thoughts, you will get better. haha!”
“It’s because of you!”
Hair loss man is the same as usual.
The magma fairy was also upset, but there was nothing wrong.
Choco Choco has also become less talkative, but he doesn’t seem depressed.
He’s probably worried about his colleagues on the other side.
‘Because there was damage to the Rookie group people as well.’
Kim Jo-gyun was kicked out of the tower, and Hwa Mu-seon also suffered serious injuries this time.
Smile Cap is moving with Noble Knight.
Jae-kyung Park, who had been with us since the 97th floor, also died once.
It looks like it will come up to the 97th floor again soon.
It is said that they plan to make a large quantity of battle rations containing buffs and bring them.
As the enemy you are dealing with has become stronger, it is better to receive a buff if you can.
“Our side is somewhat finished, but that side is the problem.”
The guys here were roughly finished with the addition of the Hair Man and the Magma Fairy.
Since Erembatt was publicly outraged, there is no need to talk about the results.
The question is, what about Smile Cap?
Something might have happened here, too, as more giants than expected appeared.
furthermore.
[The sea rises due to Erembat’s anger.]
[The flooding accelerates.]
As a result of stimulating it, the flooding accelerated.
In other words, the fog it is dragging has also become stronger.
“For now, let’s return.”
Considering the various possibilities, it was right to return to base.
Although he got greedy and destroyed the entire village in the fog, it was more of an act of anger.
In our current state, our exact location is unclear, and we cannot know the situation of others.
“The goal has been achieved, so let’s get out.”
“I also need to check if there is a problem on the other side.”
“good idea. “Let’s get out.”
There were no other opinions.
Hair Man and Magma Fairy, who have been wandering in the fog for several days, also need rest.
-Seuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.
As a result of pushing back the flood, the fog is gradually dissipating.
Evidence that part of Erembatt’s territory was eliminated.
Therefore, if you head to a place where the fog is light, you will be able to get out.
-Paaang.
moved forward
The ones standing at the front were me and Deokchun.
I am the only one who can find my way in this disorienting place.
[The SSS level power Star Watching Eye is activated.]
[Chaos ignores some of the target’s abilities.]
If it is completely a bastard’s territory, you cannot use the proper abilities due to the difference in influence, but it is okay for now.
We’ve already taken over this place.
“Yes.”
“okay. “Let’s turn right.”
Deokchun is a spirit creature that was born with chaos, so he is hardly affected by it.
They provide adequate support whenever I take a wrong turn.
It didn’t take long to get through the gradually thinning sea fog.
-Whoa.
“Whew. “I think I’ll buy something now.”
“I heard the air is different.”
I took a deep breath in the noticeably different air.
I could still feel the salty and fishy smell of the sea, but it was pretty good.
“Maybe I didn’t go deeper than I thought.”
As Choco Choco said, it didn’t take long to get out.
As I said, it may have gone too shallow.
“It could be that the sea fog has been pushed back.”
Because the fog around us has actually cleared.
It is still decreasing in real time.
I don’t know if the sea water has receded.
To check that, we have to go deeper than we do now.
“Uhm. “I can’t see very well.”
The Hair Loss Man narrows his eyes and looks around.
How far away is it? Is it possible to check it with the naked eye?
“Is that the central part over there? “It looks like something happened over there.”
“Do you see that?”
“Hey. Do not lie to me. “Are you a bird of prey or something?”
“Hair loss man with visual acuity of 10.0!”
I looked to see just in case, but I couldn’t see it.
What is this guy’s eyesight?
Did your eyes also improve as you became a superhuman?
Me too, but a little on this street.
I tried to focus, but I couldn’t really see anything except for the fog rising from the edge of the island.
It seems like the fog has gotten a little bigger.
“uh?”
It’s not a mistake.
I’ll have to check the details, but the fog has grown in the direction where the main base is located.
“Everyone come up!”
[Earth Wall (S) Lv.MAX]
– Kugugugugugung.
An earthen wall was built where the group was.
Even if the width is narrow, climb to the highest possible place.
“Ugh! hey! “Turn on the blinker and use it!”
“Oooh! “Go to heaven!”
“This is safe, right?”
Everyone screamed at the steeply rising wall, but now was not the time to question such things.
Now that sufficient visibility has been achieved.
We knew what the hair loss man was talking about.
Also, the current situation.
“There’s one more.”
Two sea fogs appeared today.
The 2 o’clock direction where we went and the 10 o’clock direction where Smile Cap and Noble Knight went.
In addition to that.
“It’s around 6 o’clock, right?”
6 o’clock, far from where we were.
I sense malicious intent.
The strike force divided on both sides was aiming for a far away location so that it would not be easy for them to join.
The same goes for when that happened.
“I guess they really didn’t like the idea of destroying the village.”
“He hated it so much. “It was like that a few days ago when I broke everything in a straight line while moving.”
“Ugh! I was really scared at that time. “Erembatt screamed and the giantess also ran wild.”
Hair Man and Magma Fairy reveal various stories as if they had a history before joining us.
Thanks to you, it became clear.
Erembatt absolutely hates the destruction of villages in the fog.
Just look at the reaction of a guy who was relatively friendly to me.
The giantess the magma fairy spoke about.
“Are you talking about the giant with his arms raised?”
“Oh, right. “But you’re not holding your arms up.”
“balloon? That’s what you’re holding. “Erembatt is inside.”
I frowned slightly.
Erembat in a balloon?
It doesn’t match.
How does that huge guy move around like that?
I also saw that giant.
I also saw a guy walking around up there.
That said, I thought it was just a difference in perspective.
That too.
‘I saw Erembatt in person.’
I am the only one here who has come face to face with this guy.
Smilecap also said that he had never met him in person.
He was a guy who rarely revealed himself completely.
‘It was so incredibly big.’
Just one eyeball was enough to cover the entire frontal area.
Of course, that could also be some kind of hallucination.
I adjusted the appearance to make it look much bigger.
This is probably good.
The important thing is.
‘The Smilecap side is still fighting, and the main camp is also sending troops into the newly appeared sea fog.’
It was the right choice to leave a reserve unit in the center.
Otherwise, the area where patients were gathered would have been hit.
Even though there are fairy fairies, it is nearly impossible to protect everyone alone.
You have to choose.
Where will you apply?
“Let’s help the main camp.”
Lick Jjakjak said, putting his hand on my shoulder.
“It will work out somehow over there. On the other hand, the main camp has very little experience fighting giants and Erembatt.”
Although they helped us fight a few times, the number of times they engaged in an all-out war can be counted on one hand.
What I meant was that the absolute experience level was different.
“It’s a variable created by Erembat. “There might be some monster inside.”
Since it is an unexpected situation, something different from what used to happen may happen.
There is also a belief that Smile Cap and Noble Knight will handle it well.
Others nod their heads as if they have similar opinions.
Choco Choco agreed, so it must be okay.
It would be better to take a break later.
Now that the decision has been made.
[Rainbow Bridge (S)]
-Chaaaaaa!
It’s time to move.
A rainbow bridge stretched out in the distance.
* * *
There was a time when I felt joy after climbing the tower and gaining strength.
When a monster is wiped out.
In some ways, it might have been a revenge mentality and a process of overwriting past memories.
All of those who were called to the tower experienced the cataclysm with their whole being.
Those who had to face monsters that deviated from common sense without any preparation.
Monsters outside of civilization forced themselves into the positions of predator and prey, and the aftermath was humiliatingly intense.
I survived by looking at the bottom of myself and others, and lived a life that flows by the logic of power, not intelligence.
The same applies to monsters.
At most, a massacre is committed by 1 or 2 star level monsters.
I think I caught and killed more monsters because I wanted to erase the fear and helplessness I felt at that time.
And now.
“damage!”
“Aaaah!”
– Pugh.
-Chaaaaaaaa!
The scene from that time is being revived.
If there is one thing that has changed.
“backwards! “I block the front!”
“The injured get back!”
“I’m still breathing! “Come to your senses, you bastard!”
None of these people collapsed like that time.
Even though they were blown away and broken by a single gesture from the giant, they somehow managed to reorganize their battle lines and plan a counterattack.
Those who believe in their own strength and clash against each other.
“Oooooh! “I’m the sexy one in charge of this place!”
[SS-level power, the god of fair dog fighting is unleashed!]
[Everyone is disarmed (SSS) Lv.10]
[Incompetent’s Happy Zone (SSS) Lv.10]
Kim Jeong-hyun threw off his clothes and rushed towards the giant.
-Cow!
Giant leaning with a body slam.
It may be physically impossible, but it is possible for Kim Jung-hyun.
Right now at this moment.
“You soft-lipped bastard! “You’re not even as cool as you look!”
Because Kim Jeong-hyun and Giant’s specifications are the same.
A huge hand struck Kim Jeong-hyun, but he did not explode.
For a person, it would be like falling down and hitting your back with your palm.
“Oooh! Sexy guy!”
“You’re crazy! awesome! Sexy!”
I unconsciously hit my forehead with my palm.
The bloody atmosphere suddenly becomes lighter.
Of course, I know that was intentional.
It’s even harder when you’re in a serious situation.
That’s why they write and exaggerate more evil.
That’s it.
“The Joker card was here.”
I didn’t know that Kim Jung-hyun’s abilities would be displayed here as well.
There are a total of 10 giants currently attacking the reserve unit.
This number far exceeds expectations.
If we include the people we defeated while breaking through here, the number increases even more.
It was correct to believe that Erembatt had planned and launched a surprise attack.
It’s a good thing that support came here.
Other party members are already coming to set up defenses.
I came first to prevent any unexpected situation.
“be careful! “There’s one more guy!”
While Kim Jung-hyun was engaged in a dog fight, another giant slammed his fist down with all his might.
The reserve force has already taken a hit.
I didn’t have time to help him.
– Googoo googong.
“uh?”
“Brother tongue? “Hyungniyiim!”
Not me.
I let go of the guy’s fist and smashed it into the ground.
And then, Mangeunchuhwan.
I pressed it with more weight.
-Suddenly. Clang.
The guy couldn’t get his fist out.
I’m glad I came in time.
People around were cheering, but the situation itself was not that good.
Since it hit the weakest wire and came in, the damage is not small.
To begin with, if we call it a reserve unit, there are only 6 people.
There were at most three people capable of combat, two of whom were fatally wounded and one dead.
At most, this happened 30 minutes after they entered the fog.
“This is me and Kim Jeong-hyun….”
“Hey brother. I have no affection for Kim Jung-hyun. Please feel free to call me sexy guy younger brother!”
“…Me and Sexy Guy will hold on, so the rest of us take care of the injured and get out! “Join the people behind you!”
I checked the signal fired by Smile Cap just before entering this direction.
A sign of return.
I think they probably even sent the guys there over here.
In that case, the answer is to wait until Smile Cap and Noble Knight join.
I have to hold on here somehow.
-Saaaagh!
I got goosebumps for a moment.
It’s not just me.
Kim Jeong-hyeon, who was continuing to strike down the giant, and those who were taking care of the injured, all looked at one place while breaking into a cold sweat.
-Knock. Boom.
A huge body that cannot be hidden even though it is beyond the fog.
The shape of a whale floating above it.
[Erembatt of silence and gaze is watching you.]
[SSS-class power star-watching eyes are glaring at Erembat.]
Hair that instantly turns white.
I made eye contact with the guy floating in the air.
The guy was crying.
He cried out silently and writhed in pain.
The guy’s eyes wander in all directions.
What on earth are you looking at?
I knew at least one thing.
-Chalbang.
The tears he shed are accumulating and wetting the floor.
Following its cries, the water that swept out and returned turned into a wave and came crashing down.
At the same time, there is a throbbing ominousness.
I think I can understand his thoughts, perhaps due to the effects of chaos.
Also, what will happen in the future.
It was just an indistinct feeling, but the action was quick.
“Everyone evacuate!”
We have to get out of here.
