Stuck in The Tower - Chapter 745
Episode 745:
The guy who sticks to the window without our permission and spies on us.
Even though we made eye contact, he continued to look at us shamelessly.
Is that some kind of perverted monster?
There are so many different types.
“Ugh.”
I clicked my tongue and grabbed my sword.
I don’t know what kind it is, but it seems like it needs to be caught and killed.
“It’s a low-level monster.”
“You’re a peeping man.”
Looking at the reaction, it seems like it’s a monster we already know about.
The name is intuitive.
“It’s not a big problem if you leave him alone. “I just feel bad.”
“As long as you don’t open the window.”
Exploration number 4 leaders Myler and Rebecca nod their heads.
Not all monsters are dangerous and aggressive.
I could see that guy as a case like that.
“What happens if I open it?”
“Each other’s positions change. “Someone has to be watching.”
“You never know what’s going to be beyond the window. There were a few who came back alive, but they all said different things. “Most of them turn into monsters.”
You don’t know what’s beyond.
I was a little curious, but I had no intention of checking.
There may be unexpected treasure, but on the other hand, there may also be something that should not be encountered.
If you do it wrong, it can turn into something strange.
“The method of eradication is simple. Just go into the room. “It’s a strange body that is relatively easy to deal with.”
“If there’s nothing to steal, it disappears. “Sometimes it follows me to my room.”
Naturally, we clear the space and put up a no-entry sign on the stairs.
It feels like I’m doing something that doesn’t matter.
Is this the leisure of a monster expert?
‘It’s definitely different.’
Unlike me, who tried to fight recklessly, I used the concepts they had in reverse.
If you can get through it without a fight, it’s better to get over it.
There was no need to lose strength for no reason.
Since I had nothing else to do, I looked at the strange object beyond the window.
He’s a peeping man.
That guy’s concept.
[Peeping Man]
-This is a low-level monster.
-Whoop… Whoop… I can’t take my eyes off it!
-We have a sneak peek at the concept!
There was nothing special.
However, there was one thing that bothered me.
‘This guy looks completely weird.’
Exploration number 5’s information was corrupted and broken, but in Pinae’s case, a normal information window appeared.
The only thing they have in common is that they are both written as NPCs.
The peeping man was saying that the system was officially a monster.
Like the strange animal I hunted.
It probably means that he is not that great even among the lower class.
This was enough for the sightseeing.
Thinking of going into the room.
“hmm?”
As I go into my room to take a nap, Rebecca and Kellen Myler also come into my room.
-dump.
“okay. Let me explain about the processing unit. “Sit comfortably.”
Kellan, sitting proudly on the bed, gestures.
At that moment, it felt so natural that I almost sat on the floor.
“It’s my room, you should be comfortable, you bastard.”
“If you’re part of the processing unit, it’s like family. “Don’t worry too much.”
“Why am I part of the processing team!”
“hmm? aha. There is a procedure for entering the processing unit, but since I am here and there are observers here, you can skip that…”
-Bwaaak!
“ah! “Why are you hitting me?”
“Just shut up. “Don’t just say what you have to say.”
Rebecca slapped Kellen on the back of the head, who nodded with a satisfied expression, and sighed.
“I would like to make a suggestion. If you’re a climber who has climbed to the 99th floor, your goal is the 100th floor, right?”
“yes.”
“I don’t know if I can go up.”
“Kellen.”
“That’s right. If you want to go up, you have to break through that Bedrock Vaaluze. Or get permission.”
Do you get permission?
What does this mean again?
Doesn’t it seem like he can go up to the 100th floor at will?
“Uhm. “It looks like you don’t know anything.”
“It’s only natural since it hasn’t been long since it came up. Let me speak for you. “That’s the one who comes into the processing team.”
“Call me Evileye.”
“yes. It’s not a bad story for Evileye either. “It’s impossible to clear the 99th floor alone.”
“It was never cleared in the first place.”
Kellan adds an explanation.
It has never been cleared?
Is that possible?
Since it passed, someone has reached the 100th floor and chaos fragments have been created.
How many people have I met so far?
“I just closed my eyes so I could go to the 100th floor, but it was never cleared.”
“All those who ascended with his permission became fragments of chaos. “There were no exceptions.”
“I sent it up with that intention in the first place. “It seems like there was some kind of manipulation.”
“That is the contract that the person who returned to the tower made with the tower.”
I frowned.
I did think it was strange.
Among the fragments of chaos, there were relatively weak objects.
The King of Worshipers is strong.
Haiden also warned to be careful of this guy, and the one he saw through Ophelia’s recording sphere showed transcendental power.
‘He sent it up with intent.’
If you think about it that way, everything makes sense.
Of course, there are exception cases.
“Pahiru of loneliness. Is that guy a failure? “It was a half fragment of chaos.”
“Ah Pahiru. I guess we’ve already met. that’s right. He’s for experimentation. “I heard that they sent you to see what happens if you go up to the 100th floor with just one concept.”
Did he use his subordinates for experiments?
I think I know roughly what kind of tendencies I have.
“anyway. There is no point in getting permission from the King of Worshipers. “You have to kill him.”
“It may be difficult. “We must first meet the conditions for a confrontation to occur.”
“I was planning a strategy with Ophelia. “I’ve been preparing for a long time, but it’s still not enough.”
Ophelia.
Since when and what are you planning?
Even with the NPC on the 99th floor.
“It would be better to ask her directly for more details. “What I want to say is this.”
Kellen spreads his hands.
“In order to catch him, you have to occupy a lot of territory and meet the minimum requirements for a kingdom. If even that is not achieved, the battle itself is not successful. “He is a king.”
“To bring down a king, you need a rebellion or a war with another king.”
“The worshipers do not betray, so we must create our own kingdom and compete.”
Fulfill the conditions of the kingdom.
Come to think of it, the NPC I met in town said something similar.
This is a village in a kingdom without a king.
At first I wondered why that was the case, but it seems there was a reason.
“It’s not easy. “This place is covered in chaos, and Bedrock Vaaluze has already occupied a lot of territory.”
“They have their own kingdom of worshipers and monsters.”
For some reason, there is a king of worshipers on the 99th floor, but when I said I didn’t see any worshipers, they were all gathered in one place.
It’s not bad.
If they are scattered everywhere, finding and destroying them is a task.
All sorts of interruptions along the way are a bonus.
“To take away the territory they occupied and at the same time not take away our territory. “This is important.”
“I guess that’s why we have an exploration team and a processing team.”
“yes. “You never know when or where they will appear, so you have to keep looking for them.”
Kellen, half lying down on the bed, snaps his fingers.
“The problem is that there are not many people who can deal with them. Basically, if chaos doesn’t support you, you’re no match for it. “You have to have a concept.”
“That’s also why the exploration team and the processing team are separated. It is possible to observe monsters and the king of worshipers, but it is difficult to wipe them out. “I don’t know if you’re at the lower level, but it’s too much for the intermediate level.”
What they said was simple.
A world made up of concepts.
It was the 99th floor, and it is possible to respond based on knowledge about it, but handling it is a different story.
It’s like not being able to deal proper damage to chaos fragments if there is not enough chaos.
To deal with a monster that has swallowed up concepts.
‘The person who catches and kills them must also have a concept.’
Those who want to hunt monsters become monsters.
This is a famous lesson among hunters.
I, too, ended up like this after collecting chaos to deal with the fragments of chaos.
It was also understandable that the processing team was experiencing a severe manpower shortage.
“Getting the concept itself isn’t that difficult. From intermediate level onwards, concepts are sometimes dropped. If it’s a proper monster, you can get it even if you’re a low-level monster. Even if you catch the guy you just saw, if you’re lucky, he’ll come out. “That is unlikely to happen.”
“Having such low-level concepts doesn’t help.”
Peeping man.
Even when I looked at him with authority, I said he was a monster.
Maybe that’s what it means to be a proper monster.
‘A similar message popped up when I was hunting strange objects along with Exploration Team 5.’
The level of the strange body is low and the concept cannot be obtained.
Is it possible to take away meaningful concepts from intermediate level and above?
“You might not know if it’s a concept you built yourself, but you never know what will happen if you swallow someone else’s concept.”
“Most of them end up turning into something strange.”
I guess so.
A concept is like proving one’s own life and existence.
Unless you gain it by becoming a successor like me, there are bound to be side effects.
The explanation is sufficient.
I also understood that there were not enough people to handle the processing team.
I also knew that without a processing team, it would be impossible to confront the king of worshipers.
“I have no choice.”
“Whether you like it or not, you have to do it. Otherwise, there is no answer.”
Phew.
okay. I expected this to happen anyway.
In order to catch them efficiently, I needed the help of NPCs.
“I’ll send it to the processing team.”
“Great! “If you were going to do it in the end, why did you push it like this?”
Kellen chuckles and sneers.
My fist goes up without me knowing, but I quickly dodge it.
Isn’t this concept of a child an anathema?
I sighed softly and regained my composure.
In the end, the job is simple.
Eliminate monsters and worshipers and defeat the king of worshipers.
“I don’t want to go through the portal created by the King of Worshipers, so I have no choice but to catch it.”
“hmm?”
“What does that mean?”
Three people tilt their heads at my muttering.
Did I say something wrong?
So, doesn’t that mean that all those who passed through the portal he created have become fragments of chaos and must be caught and destroyed?
I don’t think I misunderstood anything.
As I blinked too, Rebecca opened her mouth.
“The portal is already open. “The problem is that their kingdom is there.”
“Eh? “Why is the portal open?”
Normally, a portal opens only after clearing the corresponding floor.
Otherwise, the ruler of that floor will open the portal.
Of course I thought that was the case, but it wasn’t.
“That’s because there was someone who forced the portal open.”
“I thought you knew. “Why don’t you know?”
Mylar and Kellen tilt their heads.
Why do you think I know?
Kellen points at me.
To be exact, the feline set I’m wearing.
“that. Isn’t this the armor Fellain wore? “He’s the one who opened the portal to the 100th floor.”
Feline.
The name of the owner of the armor I wore and the person who hunted the Shards of Chaos with Rilka Kildereth appeared.
