Stuck in The Tower - Chapter 749

Chapter 749: If it already exists,

I closed my eyes for a moment at Ophelia’s words.

A group of Noble Knights formed with one goal from the moment they entered the tower.

I don’t know much about her.

Still, I was aware of a few strange things.

She is not from a large guild.

He was not a great businessman, and it is questionable whether he engaged in any other activities.

In other words.

‘I didn’t know how the Noble Knights were formed and the Big Star Guild received attention.’

The treatment for her, who had not even reached the top yet, was too good.

At first, I thought that he or one of his relatives had connections like Lee Jun-seok.

‘If you look at what Ijikiil did, it wasn’t like that either.’

It seemed like the two knew each other, but that was it.

Big Star Guild is one of the few new large guilds.

The meaning it had was great.

Large guilds in collusion with the government intentionally prevented climbers from climbing upwards.

Big Star is a place that has grown through numerous threats and obstacles.

Why does a place like that recognize Ophelia as an equal and support her?

The secret has been revealed.

“There was one more person besides me.”

“I was thinking that might be the case with Evileye.”

Ophelia inherited the fragments of chaos.

And that too before climbing the tower.

It was surprising, but at the same time, it was natural.

It is common knowledge that succeeding someone is only possible within the tower.

Because NPCs can’t go outside.

There was a limit to how much you could go out of the tower and disrupt the world.

Monster disaster.

and.

‘Fragments of chaos.’

They were also beings that could go out of the tower, and at the same time.

‘I have the power to save my successor.’

Aren’t I also Haiden’s successor?

It was unprecedented for fragments of chaos to appear at that point in the transitional period of destruction.

“He designated me as his savior and returned to the tower.”

“Is he in the tower too?”

“no. It’s probably gone now. You handed over the concept to me and hid the remaining one in the tower. “Now he must have been forgotten.”

A forgotten being.

I’ve heard it before.

The fragments of chaos each act of their own will, and it is impossible to completely control even the system.

Among them, there are monsters that show abilities and powers that go beyond common sense.

On the contrary, there are also forgotten beings.

As the saying goes, the dead have lost or lost their concepts to the newly appeared fragments of chaos.

I wondered how Ophelia knew such a thing, but it was because she had already encountered it.

“The 6th Heaven. “He was an angel there.”

“He is a person who maintained his ego.”

“Strong faith and nobility make the impossible possible.”

I can’t deny it.

Mulan Cassen also maintained his ego for similar reasons.

The tea has completely cooled down.

Ophelia put down her teacup and stared at me.

“Did you know that there are three Chaos Shards in the Tower with special names?”

“I thought there were a few, but I didn’t know there were three.”

I can roughly guess who he is talking about.

I also found out about it only recently.

Ophelia nodded and opened her mouth.

“Bedrock Vaaluze, the one who returned to the tower.”

The ruler of the 99th floor and the king of all worshipers.

“Heiden, the one who did not leave the tower.”

The one I inherited and the one who made shame a definitive concept.

“Beluak, the one who dragged away the existence of the tower.”

He is Ophelia’s successor and the one who gave her the concept even before entering the tower.

Based on this, Ophelia negotiated with Big Star and Noble Knight was created.

I think the reason there was a connection with the NPCs in the tower was probably for a similar reason.

The fragments of chaos existed in the tower, and there must have been people associated with them.

“Beluak is a symbolic being even among the Elyos. That is why he is friendly to me, his rightful successor.”

indeed.

There was a reason why he was called the beloved of all angels.

The tower was a small society, and there must have been several NPCs related to the Elyos.

Even the existence that Ophelia inherited.

‘The angel of the world who overcame destruction.’

Now it has become a forgotten entity and has disappeared, but its will remains.

Even if I were an NPC, if I was the one who overcame destruction, I would have chosen him as his successor, believing he could reach the 100th floor.

Well, in reality, Ophelia became the successor to many NPCs.

Since the NPCs were friendly, climbing up wouldn’t have been difficult.

‘I saw a free pass on the 94th floor right away.’

Ancient Dragon Merry Mullet.

The guy who was the ruler of the 94th floor had opened a portal for Ophelia.

There must have been a contract of its own.

Inheritance is conditional on opening a portal.

Or maybe there’s something else.

“Is this explanation enough?”

“It’s enough.”

It’s full and overflowing.

To resolve the questions that have accumulated over time.

The corner of her mouth gently rises at my answer.

He seemed relieved to be able to erase his doubts.

“The reason we were able to prepare in advance for the 99th floor attack is also the same. “The last concept he left behind is on the 99th floor.”

Ophelia continued calmly.

There is a way to save the world here.

Preparing to attack the 99th floor was fundamentally for this purpose.

“I have no intention of catching Bedrock Vaaluze. “The important thing is to get the final concept and move up.”

It was not necessary to capture the king of worshipers in the process.

It was true.

Ruler of the 99th floor?

What’s wrong with that?

The portal was open and it was possible to go up if one could penetrate the worshiper’s kingdom.

That’s why Ophelia needed a king.

Able to move forward on behalf of a kingdom without a king.

The kind of person who can buy time for her to head to the 100th floor.

Not just anyone could do it.

The only person who could become king was someone who had the qualifications.

“Evileye, you could become king.”

I met those conditions.

Hasn’t it been seen a few times already?

Ophelia also knew that fact.

Didn’t you say it from the beginning?

Ophelia’s role is that of a saint.

If you give me the role of king.

“Hair loss man. You said you were joining the exploration team this time. A master of 100 battles and defeats. Please capture the high-level monster.”

The hair loss man is given the role of finding a concept.

There is just one problem.

“for a moment. “It would be impossible to deal with anyone from intermediate level or higher if they don’t have the concept.”

“that’s right. But everyone who has reached the 99th floor has something that represents them. “Each person has a concept that has not yet been expressed.”

That’s right.

You must have gone through all kinds of things on your way up here.

I was like that right now too.

It’s no different from a hair loss man.

“If you have this, you will be able to fight even high-level monsters. “This is what the Noble Knight who made the prediction told me.”

What Ophelia gave me was a black sphere.

It wasn’t difficult to figure out what it was.

concept.

An item that can sometimes be obtained by catching intermediate or higher level monsters.

[The SSS level power, Eye that Watches the Stars, is exercised.]

-Tsuzuzuzu.

The identity of the concept was examined through authority.

It’s a concept that suits people with hair loss.

A few come to mind right now.

Whether it’s a jjoljjol or a superhuman. I didn’t think romance would be a bad thing.

[Concept: Appearance]

-This is a concept obtained by defeating the upper-level monster mid-boss!

-Caution) Concepts manifest differently depending on the subject.

It’s an appearance.

“They seem strangely suited.”

Isn’t there such a thing as a hero appearing?

Showing up just when you need it.

It is a concept that fits the personality of a hair loss man.

“There is more than this. The history of the exploration team and the processing team is long, and the concepts acquired over the years have been collected in the temple. “Waiting for the right person to appear.”

It seemed like it was only a recommendation and there was no need to necessarily choose this option.

“It’s not just men with hair loss. We will open the temple archives to others. “If you don’t, it will be difficult for those who have already developed the concept.”

Thorough preparation.

At the same time, risk factors also existed.

“What if I absorb the concept and it goes wrong?”

“It’s going to be weird. “The choice is yours and that is why I am asking you to do so.”

There is a reason why it cannot be forced.

Realizing a concept on your own and absorbing it are completely different things.

“For those without a concept, it would be better for those with an exploration team to act as a processing team.”

“Are you moving to the processing unit too?”

“I am here. The temple must be protected. King of worshipers. “We won’t know when he will show up here until we observe him again.”

That’s right.

Angel painting used by Ophelia.

The unique area surrounding the temple prevents the invasion of other strange entities.

The King of Worshipers will also not appear inside the temple.

It would be troublesome if you wandered around for no reason and lost all the concepts you had gathered.

I have roughly figured it out.

“What are you going to do with the bald man?”

All that remains is the hair loss man’s choice.

Do you accept the concept or continue like this?

There are not many people who can deal with intermediate level or above.

The total number of people on the processing team barely exceeds 20, including climbers.

‘It’s just me and Ophelia.’

It would be nice to have more power, but it is also dangerous.

If you die as a climber, you can leave the tower, but if you turn into a monster.

‘Because I will stay in the tower for the rest of my life.’

Isn’t that a terrible ending?

It is bound to be a burden to those who climb up to conquer the tower.

“You don’t have to make a hasty choice. “Because it’s not going to happen right away.”

“Umm. Mmmmm!”

The hair loss man works hard on his hair.

What should I do?

“Or it might be a good idea to take a look at what’s in the archives inside the temple. “I will guide you.”

Ophelia also pointed to the back of the temple, as if she wanted to give as many options as possible.

I agree.

The hair loss person others see and the hair loss person you think of are different.

It would be better to see it in person and judge for yourself.

At the same time, let’s see what else is out there.

A hair loss man is also a hair loss man, but the concepts of licking and nyangpun may be necessary.

“I have a question.”

The hair loss man who had been silent for a moment opened his mouth.

“Is it okay to have two concepts?”

“Usually two is the limit. “This is the same reason why Chaos Fragments have two concepts.”

“Uh oh. “I have two too.”

“You already have two?!”

Ophelia is surprised by my words.

Why are you so surprised?

I think that will happen soon too.

I shrugged my shoulders.

“So um. So, to catch a high-level monster, you need to have two concepts? “From the intermediate level onwards, there had to be at least one concept.”

“no. “It doesn’t matter as long as there is just one.”

“aha!”

The Bald Man claps his hands in response to Ophelia’s answer.

what?

It’s a strange thing to say.

I’m not asking if it’s okay to eat the concept, nor am I asking how serious the side effects will be.

“Maybe you?”

At that moment, a thought occurred to me.

“Then you don’t have to eat this.”

Ophelia also seemed to realize what the hair loss man was trying to say.

“I have a concept!”

Hair loss man raised his thumb.

This guy.

I already had the concept.
