Stuck in The Tower

Episode 699 Majubo

Smilecap said that the flooding would last for about 6 days.

Although the cycle is different and the period varies each time.

“Wrong.”

They said it could last up to 15 days, but I saw it differently.

A persistent and vicious fog and a slowly rising sea.

This is like a bridle, and if you take your eyes off it even for a moment, it is just a stone’s throw away.

He will never let us go easily or disappear like a mirage.

because.

[Mean Meow Punch]: It’s been a week since I haven’t seen sunlight

[Lick the top of my head]: Is this taking longer than I first expected?

[Hair loss on your head]: I feel like I’m back in the military. The day is very long, but time flies by

[Petit Gongdu]: Ah… Ah… The country is still there for you!

[Hair loss on your head]: Oh no!

[Licking the top of his head]: Is that right? You were kicked out in the middle of hair loss training

[Mean Meow Punch]: Aha! So it’s not discharged? Hair loss desertion!

[Lick the top of the head]: Hair loss! From today, your name is Talmoyoung!

[Hair loss on your head]: No… no! Even if you are expelled, you are discharged from the military!

A week has already passed.

The initially planned simulation also went awry.

According to calculations, the island near the central island should have sunk by now.

The smile cap was also an unexpected variable.

[Smile Cap]: I think it’s a mess because there are so many people.

[Choco Choco]: Didn’t my sister tell me to check carefully?

[Smile Cap]: I really didn’t do that when I was alone.

[Hwa Mu-seon]: Heh heh. How can we see the truth of the world through human eyes

[Choco Choco]: Oh? There’s something over there. I’ll go and come back

[Smile Cap]: If you feel like it’s in vain, come out right away!

[Smile Cap]: This flooding is unusual, so we need to be as vigilant as possible.

[Hwamu-seon]: But why is Lord Jo Gyun silent?

[Smile Cap]: The youngest! Wake!

Smilecap was also embarrassed as it was his first time experiencing this situation.

It is said that flooding occurred even when Smile Cap was alone.

However, the difficulty level was adjusted accordingly, so it was much better than it is now.

“It’s not that you don’t understand.”

“Yes.”

The difficulty of the tower changes depending on the situation.

Especially now.

[Chaos abounds on the 97th floor.]

Even more bizarre things are happening due to the influence of chaos.

Those who have come this far are among the top climbers.

In other words, it has chaotic values unlike other places.

Even if the chaos level isn’t up to 100, it probably has a little bit of everything.

Some people will just pass over 100 points.

I just thought about it.

‘Is this really because of me?’

Not going to lie, I don’t think there’s anyone in the tower with a higher chaos score than me.

The smile cap was also unusual, but it felt like it was less than me.

This may be due to the significant increase in chaos after defeating Fahiru.

anyway.

“It’s dangerous if it goes on for too long.”

This is the conclusion I came to after experiencing it over the past week.

My skill level rose quickly while I was here.

It is difficult to raise the level as the grade increases, but has it risen to this level?

‘It’s more poisonous than you can imagine.’

Even I, who surpassed the grade, feel bad.

What do other people think?

The problem is not simply that it is contaminated with poison and curse diseases.

[Muscle Warrior]: Gongdu! I see Gongdu!

[Illusion]: Come to your senses, you bastard!

[Illusion]: He’s next to me now^^

└I guess I should treat this bastard first, right?

└If the center is like this, how will the outside hold up? ㄹㅇ

Many people were seen having mental problems.

What’s surprising is that, not just us guarding the outskirts, it’s the same for those gathered in the center.

Is this just an indirect impact?

‘There was a reason why only those who were verified for Smile Cap were sent to the outskirts.’

If you don’t have resistance, it’s impossible to be here.

Fortunately, the members still seem to be fine.

Nyangpun has a lot of protection measures, and Lick Jjak and Balmo Man have excellent mental strength.

It is not the skill, but the innate mental power itself that is strong.

-Gooooooooooo.

A sound heard from somewhere on the sunken island beyond the fog.

It seems like they are laughing at us who are giving up their territory little by little.

Something that is gradually gaining its presence.

The air is so humid that it feels like you are in the water even though you are on land.

My nose has already been clogged with a strong fishy smell for a long time.

-Okay.

I can hear the popularity.

“It’s a fishman.”

At first, only miscellaneous sea monsters and corpses washed up.

Slowly, even those from the deep sea come out.

It seems like the first monster has also appeared elsewhere.

“fire.”

I narrowed my eyes.

A hazy landscape is visible beyond the fog.

Obviously, in an empty lot with nothing in it, you can see the shape of a building.

There were places with lights on and black silhouettes moving around like people.

Then it sizzles.

It spreads and disappears like ink dropped into water.

This isn’t the first time.

This is what usually happens when that damn fog forms.

-Push.

He plunged his sword into the chest of the fishman approaching next to him.

A person who dies when his heart is pierced without any resistance.

Even when he falls down, he rolls his eyes and looks at me.

Not a single scream.

I didn’t like it any more, so I twisted the sword, but it was the same.

-Hook.

-Sigh.

-Suddenly.

I repeatedly stabbed and cut down those that approached me without making a move.

It’s as if he’s coming to die.

All you can see are the gazes of those without eyelids.

Although it was dead and lifeless, its shiny eyes, wet with sea water, were watching me.

“I guess I should move.”

Before I knew it, the water was up to my ankles.

whenever?

It wasn’t even a fierce fight, so you didn’t notice until then?

I frowned and activated the communication artifact.

“The water is rising. “I’ll go to the next point.”

-It’s still here, but let’s leave together.

-You have to maintain the formation. I’m going too!

-Ugh. Me too. Did you just see something strange

? Something strange?

“What did you see? “Nyanfun.”

-A fish with a human face laughed at me. I thought it was a severed head.

Is it a human face?

In the case of monsters, there are many who have a strong and assertive appearance.

But that doesn’t mean everyone is like that.

“Don’t worry too much. It’s a sea monster. “It’s full of weirdos.”

Some people even boast outstanding looks.

At the very least, even vampires classify objects that have lost their senses as monsters.

There are cases like that among spirits, and even if not, there are some famous objects.

If it’s a sea monster of which not much is known, there may be something there.

-Startle.

A warm wind passed by the back of my neck.

I quickly turned around, but there was nothing to see.

no.

“what.”

There was something visible.

The illusion I saw from before glimmers.

What used to be an empty lot turned into a village.

I don’t know if this can be called a village, but the blurry shape was clearly an artificial structure.

There is even a fountain.

Although no water came out, the statue of a child with wings like finger bones outstretched was clearly visible behind its back.

A form I have never seen before.

Regardless of its detailed sculpting skills, it is a shape full of malice.

The moment I bent down to take a closer look.

Kirik.

The statue rolled its eyes and looked at me.

-Huung.

I reflexively swung my sword, but the fountain just disappeared like a mirage.

Cracking.

A small silhouette was seen running between the buildings.

I kicked my feet.

Anyway, what you see here is an illusion.

There was no reason to chase after it, but I kicked my foot.

I thought I should follow along.

Maybe it was an impulse, or maybe it was an act of concern that one’s guard would fall as one got used to frequent welcomes.

Maybe he wanted to confirm with his own eyes that it was fake.

-Suuk.

There was no need to follow the alley.

No matter how real it is, a welcome is a welcome.

I ran straight through the building, and the building I hit turned into smoke and disappeared.

The momentum was so great that explosive smoke rose up.

I went forward, covering my face with my arms from the smoke pouring out like a steam turbine whose valves had been released.

We arrived at the place where the smoke gradually dispersed.

“What is this?”

There was something overwhelming.

Something dark yet transparent shines on me.

It was a contradictory expression, but that was the only way I could express it.

A person covered in the blood and flesh of all kinds of monsters.

Because it was definitely me.

-Gooooooooooo.

Does he welcome me like that?

A huge sound hit my whole body violently.

A sound that spreads widely and deeply, like a wave of water droplets falling on a puddle.

-Suddenly. Deukdeukdeuk!

A thick and resounding sound shook the world.

All noise is swallowed up.

It feels like a giant is grabbing me by both shoulders and shaking me.

Even though my ears are deaf as if I’ve been drowned in water, the waves penetrate my heart and enter inside.

My stomach turns and blood rushes to my head.

Despite the crying that shook my entire body, nothing around me was shaken.

Is it the world or my mind that is shaking?

[Mental Protection (SSS) Lv.MAX]

Crack.

I gritted my teeth and came to my senses.

I am not weak enough to be shaken by external intrusion.

I gave strength to both legs.

I raised the corners of my mouth as I faced the person looking at me.

The tremors subsided and my vision returned to normal.

“Is that you?”

I realized that the darkness that was shining on me was its eyes.

Eyes as deep as the deep sea.

The white, white like fog seems to reach the sky.

Even though he was just staring at me, I felt like he was happy.

[Erembatt of silence and gaze greets you.]

Blink.

The guy slowly closes his eyes.

-Paaaat.

The illusion disappears as if nothing had happened until now.

It’s as if the curtain that shielded the world has been lifted.

There are no longer silhouettes of buildings or fountains with strange sculptures.

Not even fog remained in the desolate clearing.

What the hell.

When I raise my head, I see the sky that I haven’t seen in a long time.

There were still heavy, wet clouds, but the sky was sky.

All that remains here is sea water full of salt.

I laughed as I felt the cold water clinging to me.

“haha. This bastard. really.”

The water that was up to my ankles soon rose to my chest.

-Where is Gongblei?

-Have you arrived at the point?

-Maybe it’s just settling in. There’s little cover here.

I can hear the members’ voices in my ears.

I thought it was a very short time, but the members had already reached the next point.

It means that several hours have passed.

“He seems like a guy with good manners. “They say hello like something.”

-Gooooooooooo.

Are you responding to me?

A cry rang out from somewhere in the sea.

I sighed softly.

Even though I didn’t like it, I was able to confirm that my sanity was intact in his presence.

Next time I see you, I might stick a sword into those big eyes.

Joining comes first now.

The land route that was prepared cannot be used.

There is no choice but to swim.

Even now, sea levels are rising rapidly.

Soon it will reach your chin.

“Still on my way. “It will arrive soon.”

I contacted the members who were probably worried and went into the water.

I really didn’t want to jump into the sea water.

The ocean is still full of pollutants.

When I opened my eyes inside, I was slightly amazed.

The polite guy even sent me a gift.

The sea is dark, perhaps because of the oil covering the surface.

-Grumbling.

Hundreds of pairs of eyes were staring at me.

* * *

A defense line consisting of five directions.

The central island was kept stable by the defenses created by Evileye and members Noble Knight and Big Star Rookie Group Fairy Club.

At least that was the case until the fourth day of the flooding.

“It’s a fisherman! “Eoin!”

“Damn it! “You bastard stingray!”

No matter how much you block enemies based on islands, the sea is all connected.

There were also quite a few monsters digging into the gap.

The guys with their faces above the sea level were waiting for an opportunity.

Although the sea level has not yet risen enough to cover the island, the water is still steadily rising.

If we continue like this, won’t we be able to overcome the ordeal with ease even though there will be damage?

That’s what I thought, though.

“It’s a tsunami!”

“where? Isn’t this the fairy club? “You did that last time too!”

“Marine earthquake, that? “For that matter, there was no vibration.”

It’s currently 8 days old.

The balance is broken.

“Not in the southwest! “It’s northeast!”

“Northeast? That’s it.”

In the distance, waves tens of meters high were seen moving forward.

“Isn’t it the Big Star side?”

Waves soaring high.

There are black dots all over it.

Monsters with ugly faces coming out of the water sang of despair.
