Stuck in The Tower - Chapter 732

Episode 732 Solve:

A sky without a single cloud.

When was the last time you looked up at the sky while lying on the floor?

I don’t know.

I’ve never really had the time to do that.

My back hurt from the rocks stuck on the floor, but I couldn’t turn over.

Even the slightest twitch caused tremendous pain.

I need more time to recover.

“Oh, I’m dying.”

Nope.

Correct.

died once.

If it weren’t for the rescue, I would have been in the safe zone on the 96th floor by now.

It was such a powerful explosion.

All the time bombs that had been planted for several days were set off all at once.

I barely rolled my eyes and looked around, but all I could see was the overturned ground.

Sometimes, if you’re lucky, you’ll find fragments of the fortress that remain as decorations.

And next to me.

“Are you dead?”

【…soon.】

There was Mulan Cassen.

Before, it was surprising that he was still alive, but now he is in a state where it would be better to consider him dead.

In reality, they are dying.

A body slowly falling apart.

Even the soul that had become huge is becoming light and oxidizing.

I tried to defend myself by somehow inflating the area right before the explosion occurred.

‘It’s blocked by me.’

A newly created absolute area of skill.

Because within that range, even fragments of chaos cannot exert their power.

In short, I was hit directly.

An unexpected explosion was not something to be endured.

“Turn it off.”

I forced myself to stand up.

It felt like my whole body was shattered, but I somehow managed to move.

It would have been nice to have pain tolerance among the resistance skills, but unfortunately, there was no such thing.

I barely raised my upper body and looked at Mulan Cassen.

He is lying on the floor and staring into space.

【…until it becomes dazzlingly white.】

I don’t know what it was muttering, but its expression was bright.

Would I be able to smile like that right before I die?

well.

At least I know you’re satisfied with this ending.

Mulan Cassen was defeated and Elini survived.

Whatever the process, it is true that she was stopped.

-Tiring.

[Godbless]: What happened here?

[Godbless]: It looks like there’s a problem on the Smilecap side as well, so they’ll be protecting the candidate.

Ophelia and Noble Knight also joined Elini.

It’s a step late, but I’m glad.

Since Mulan Kassen and I came here, we needed someone to guard it.

‘It’s been a while.’

Do you know anything?

I wonder if the suddenly appeared worshiper will target Elini.

I don’t think the rookie group and fairy club will let me go.

‘I’m worried about this part too.’

I frowned.

It was confirmed that a cultist had attacked.

I also know that the candidate they had was harmed during the process.

It’s okay up to that point.

‘Why isn’t there any news?’

Is the cult really that strong?

Or maybe something else happened.

I wasn’t too worried.

Since everyone there was strong, I believed they would figure it out somehow.

now.

“Are you satisfied?”

I’m thinking of talking to this guy.

I can give up a few moments at the last moment.

Maybe it’s a regret.

To the recipient, it may seem like cheap sympathy.

【I gained a past I could not have had. That’s enough. “Elini is a part of my soul.”

She answered with a relieved look, but I could tell.

‘lie.’

Elini is made up of her past.

That’s how it was made.

okay.

It was made.

You yourself probably know that the two can never become one.

The true name of the 98th floor is me from another world line.

A play staged on a new stage called Top.

“Ask me again.”

She is a fragment of chaos.

It was a monster in the tower that even the system couldn’t do anything about, and even if it died here, it might come back to life somewhere.

Because those were the pieces of chaos to begin with.

The causal relationship and the clarity of existence are borderline unrealistic.

Delverton also lost a bet with me and died, but we met again while climbing.

So perhaps Mulan Cassen might also appear somewhere in the tower or in some world that is being destroyed.

So her regret never ends.

Because even one’s own death cannot bring about a complete conclusion.

A moment of self-satisfaction.

It will end up as just a memory that exists for a short moment and then disappears.

“Is that enough?”

It was a question she was asking me at the same time.

I saw what I wanted to see on the 98th floor, so I was wondering if this was enough.

The question is whether it is right for a hero of the past, who declared that even the system had accumulated good karma, to end like this.

She is different from other fragments of chaos.

Because even though he is swallowed up by chaos, he maintains his personality.

Delverton also became a fragment of chaos and his personality changed.

Other fragments of chaos are equally eccentric.

Among the human beings who have become fragments of chaos, she is the only one who maintains her personality.

‘At least among those I’ve encountered so far, that’s the case.’

A level of soul built up through good karma.

She did not want it to corrupt her character.

Will this kind of existence really bring about destruction?

Will it become a disaster that destroys everything and sets life on fire?

I can’t give a definite answer.

but.

‘There’s a chance that won’t happen.’

Possibility as far as possible.

It is unknown how the Chaos Shards will behave.

Therefore, whichever way you move, it is based on your own judgment.

I’m thinking of making a deal with her who might appear in our world someday.

For her.

And for me.

“They say it’s the past. Then there must be a future.”

【What is that?】

“First of all, this. When you die, floor 98 will be cleared. Will you come back to life after this?”

【maybe. The fragments of chaos belong to the tower. It will not disappear unless the tower disappears.】

I didn’t know this.

This is why it is called the explosion of destruction.

“Elini will disappear too. “It was made for the trials on the 98th floor.”

【What do you want to say?】

Mulan Cassen’s energy becomes sharper.

Even though my whole body is collapsing, I feel a surprising amount of strength.

It’s natural to be annoyed because it pours cold water on the memories we’ve made.

“Elini. There is a way to keep living. You go and take care of it. “Don’t end up like you.”

The answer is simple.

In the end, wouldn’t it be okay if Elini could continue living?

Mulan Cassen also doesn’t need to stay on the 98th floor if she can focus on Elini.

No matter how much you think about it.

‘I don’t think anyone else can beat the 98th floor.’

The tower takes on a different shape each time it is created.

I don’t know who occupied the 98th floor in the past, but now Mulan Cassen is the ruler.

I was lucky this time.

Many people came up and through a coordinated attack, they were able to put Mulan Cassen in a dying state.

But what about after that?

What will happen to the members and I who are moving up without the Noble Knight and Rookie Group Fairy Club?

No matter how much you think about it, it is impossible.

So, I plan to get Mulan Cassen out of the 98th floor.

Additionally, safety measures for the outside world.

“I don’t want Elini to disappear like this either. I’ll help you. So, please help me too.”

I took out a contract from the subspace item.

There is only one contract.

-Do not attack the world of Evil Eye (real name: Jo Hyun-soo).

A fragment of chaos that you will never want to fight again.

If we can stop even just one Mulan Cassen, wouldn’t the possibility of destruction be reduced even a little?

It doesn’t matter if you criticize me for being calculating.

If that’s how I can overcome destruction, I’m willing to do whatever it takes.

Reputation Conscience Pride.

Those things can be given away as much as necessary.

That is, if I have to get what I absolutely want.

[The contract has been signed.]

[The signatures of both parties to the contract are required.]

Flap.

I sent the contract to the guy.

“You check and decide the contract yourself.”

【It’s impossible.】

“Have I ever lied to you?”

She is silent, as if speechless.

At least I never lied to Elini and Mulan Cassen.

“Go to the 95th floor and wait.”

-Passsss.

She raised the corner of her mouth as more than half of it turned into powder and disappeared.

【If you can do that, as much as you want.】

With those words, Mulan Cassen’s body began to fly.

【At that time, I will welcome you as a close friend.】

With those last words, he completely disappeared.

Although my body was still sore, I slowly stood up.

There’s still work left to do.

There is only one way to keep Elini alive.

“I guess I’ll leave that to John Traylor.”

The only way is for the wise man who appointed him as the ruler of the 95th floor to revive him as a homunculus.

To get permission to live in the tower, you have to become an NPC.

Just like Alios’ lover Penny did.

Since you already have the soul stone, you can secure the soul and send it through the seagull.

It will take time for Mulan Cassen to reappear, so the timing is probably right.

Now what I have to do is

‘I need to get Elini’s consent.’

Because soul stones are not something that can be used to extract other people’s souls.

Persuasion is needed.

* * *

Surprisingly, persuasion ended easily.

Is it because you have faith in me?

Maybe it was because, as Mulan Cassen said, Ellini was made from her soul.

Maybe he reacted to Elini because he wanted her to live.

“Seagull. “Please deliver the letter to John Traylor on the 95th floor.”

“sure! Thank you for always using Seagull!”

I also handed over the soul stone and a letter containing a brief situation to the seagull, so what needs to be done here is over.

I joined Ophelia’s Noble Knight and headed to the place where the members and Smile Cap were.

I wanted to rest a little, but I couldn’t.

‘Something happened.’

Still no contact.

It is normal for at least one person to have contacted you through the community.

My anxiety is already rising.

-Stop it!

[The system is putting the clearing of the 98th floor on hold!]

[Immense chaos overturns the results!]

[Confirming the absence of the ruler of the 98th floor.]

[We are entering a new phase according to the suggestions of those who are with the tower!]

98th floor The clear alarm was broken and even a bug message appeared.

A hologram that cracks and shakes ominously.

I know full well what that means.

Because I’ve already seen bug messages several times.

‘A powerful chaotic intervention.’

Something that has surpassed the limits of the system is touching the 98th floor.

I know who the target is without even having to say it.

Platinum worshiper.

I don’t know how he can do something like that.

The only thing that can be confirmed is:

“What on earth is this?”

“…be careful. “I don’t think Mulan Cassen is the end.”

A field with clear traces of battle and equipment rolling around on the floor.

Even traces of someone’s blood and familiar objects.

Hwamu-seon’s fan.

A bald man’s bow tie is scattered around haphazardly.

There is a chaotic mixture of lava that was clearly poured out by the magma fairy and numerous sword marks.

One crushed corpse in the center.

[Lunok Plana]

– Platinum level worshiper!

– It’s a corpse!

A message appears on the still shaking hologram.

[Fragment of Chaos Nightmare and Vulcan of Challenge claim to be the rulers of the 98th floor!]

The damned worshiper has released the Fragment of Chaos.
