Stuck in The Tower

Side Story Episode 13:

I thought about this while chasing the worshiper.

‘Don’t these people know that their king is dead?’

Bedrock Vaaluze has already died by my hand.

He was a disgusting guy and a monster I never wanted to fight again, but I got him in the end.

The 99th floor, which it controlled, was scrapped.

Of course, that doesn’t mean the entire cult force has disappeared.

There were many worshipers inside the tower and they must still be alive.

Still, the reason I don’t care that much is.

‘The central point has disappeared.’

To his worshipers, Bedrok Vaaluze is both a king and a god.

All movements were carried out according to his will.

There is no longer anyone from above to control them.

At least there is a possibility.

‘Something like high-level worshipers joining forces again?’

A new king could be born.

I don’t know if it will work because Bedrock Vaaluze’s charisma and power are so strong.

Still, if you give me an order, I will follow it.

Worshipers are strictly divided into ranks, and hierarchy is the norm.

‘Could it be that the tower didn’t resurrect the King of Worshipers?’

If there are any variables, this is it.

I’m not sure, but it’s probably impossible.

A normal NPC might not know this, but he is a fragment of chaos.

An autonomous being that even the tower cannot do as it pleases.

-Sssss.

How long has it been since I chased that guy?

I entered a place filled with cognitive distortion artifacts.

Is this his residence?

Or is it a base for worshipers scattered like a dot organization?

“Are you here? “How did the story turn out?”

“We will be able to take over the village soon.”

“Then you’ve wasted an hour. “It’s so hard to live in this damn place.”

“If I knew it would be like this, I wouldn’t be a worshiper or something.”

The answer was a base.

I didn’t show it, but I was surprised.

I thought it was worth living because they were making a plan to swallow up Manmasungsangyo and provide daily necessities.

‘This is a complete defeat.’

The appearance of the worshipers is outrageous.

They were very tired, as if they hadn’t slept properly, and some of them had a bluish complexion.

Typical symptoms of poisoning.

‘You even ate a monster.’

It was evidence that food itself was insufficient.

What is the most important thing for worshipers living in hiding?

Of course it is food.

What if you could use the store window like me and Nyangfun? Otherwise, you would have to have cooking skills.

“damn. “If only there wasn’t a damn mark.”

“Quiet. “Because I’m losing strength.”

“It’s fortunate that there are admirers among high-ranking hunters. “If we hadn’t done that, we would have all starved to death.”

“That person also does it because he wants to live. Even if you say it’s support, it’s nothing special.”

“King of worshipers? The promise of ascension? “Such bullshit.”

“Shh. “There is no king, but there is him.”

“Are you that bastard who doesn’t care about us? under! “He’ll take us with him!”

Has stress been building up all this time?

The emotions in what appears to be the spirit world are quite intense.

On the contrary, there is no strength and the body is in a state of discharge.

It’s clear to see that he openly regrets becoming an admirer and swears at him.

From what he’s saying, it looks like he knows that the king of the worshipers is dead.

I listened closely because there was some interesting information.

‘It’s a sign. Are you talking about the worshiper’s name plate?’

Probably so.

All worshipers carry nameplates.

There are no exceptions. Perhaps if you take the path of a worshiper, you will be forced to wear it.

‘Well, there needs to be that much of a penalty to catch the worshiper and punish him.’

It wasn’t surprising that there were admirers among high-ranking hunters.

There are a few people who have climbed the tower, and it wouldn’t be strange if there was a worshiper among them.

There is another word that concerns me.

The promise of Ascension and Him.

I think the promise of ascension refers to becoming an NPC and entering the tower.

‘It seems like there are some conditions.’

I’m not sure because I’m not a worshiper.

Do I have to fulfill separate conditions to become an NPC and enter the tower?

There may be a problem among the cult hunters.

One thing is certain: there is no space for them to live in the sun.

Haven’t you already seen people in the US who have built a tent city in front of the gate?

Once you become a worshiper, isn’t it something you can never go back to?

This is probably good.

I am so tired of the bad relationship with the worshipers that I have no intention of leaving them alone.

The question is, who is ‘him’?

According to the circumstances, there is a guy who took over Bedrock Baaluze’s place.

“Do you think it makes sense for a ruler to reject worshipers?”

“I don’t know what you’re thinking.”

“I mean, I’m going to make it to suit my taste! Garti bitch!”

The question was resolved surprisingly quickly.

Garti. A Platinum-level admirer we met on the 93rd floor!

At the same time, a traitor to the cult.

The guy who helped me knowingly or unknowingly succeeded in gaining a following.

Really.

“You’re good at keeping your promises.”

-Chaeng!

-Drurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

“Who are you?”

“Shit. “If you were bitten by the tail, you should have left alone!”

“for a moment. “Isn’t that Evileye?”

“Why is someone who should be in Korea here?”

They draw their weapons the moment I show up.

I leisurely walked towards them.

“Wherever I am, it’s my heart, you idiot.”

“Oh don’t come. “I think you can take on all of us!”

Why can’t I do it?

Don’t they think they will lose too, so they don’t fight and take a step back?

Anyway, the worshipers say they are invincible.

“try. “I’m a little curious too.”

[Geomgang]

-Sigh.

The worshiper’s head was cut off by a sword swung sideways.

* * *

The battle ended smoothly.

Although there was an intermediate level hunter involved, it was still intermediate level.

Worshipers who climbed to the highest floor were at most 50 floors high.

Roughly speaking, I am only halfway up to what I climbed.

As time went by, I wiped out all the monsters nearby.

“These guys were generous with their territory because they were constantly supplied with food.”

“Okay. “Okay.”

Where 4-star or higher monsters stayed, the corpses of monsters that appeared to have been raised were scattered around.

This may be Manma Sungsanggyo’s way of survival.

It’s a bit different from the feeling known to the public.

I thought they were a group that worshiped monsters, but instead they completely saw them as beasts.

Even vicious people become lazy when they are full.

Should I say that I was aiming for that part?

It’s probably no coincidence that I’ve survived until now.

This is why worshipers targeted the Manma Singsangsang Church.

“The worshipers were on fire right now.”

“Yes.”

Originally, they had to hasten destruction and expand their power among the people, but the situation has changed.

High-level hunters are appearing one after another, and antipathy toward worshipers has spread throughout the world.

Instead of forming a force, they were being chased and were hiding, waiting for the tower to call them, making their lives difficult.

As Garti changed the nature of the worshiper group, the possibility of becoming an NPC disappeared.

That is why they targeted Manmasungsanggyo.

This happened in order to live safely even in a remote place.

“It’s a little late. “Did you do well?”

“Uh oh. “Go and catch some worshipers.”

“Eh? “Were they here too?”

Joined the members.

We simply combined the information we had gathered together.

The content was simple.

A worshiper makes contact with a hunter from the Manma Cult Sect.

He tricked him into poisoning the cult leader, and his worshipers approached him claiming he had the drug.

Of course, the goal was not to cure their addiction, but to take over their village.

The story is over now.

Although it was true that there was contact with the worshipers, it became clear that Manma Sungsanggyo was not a subordinate organization of them.

“But who is next to you?”

“ah. “The leader of the Manma Sungsang Church.”

“Huh? “Why is that person here?”

They defeated the worshipers and saved the religious leader.

They were holding me hostage under the pretext of treatment.

Anyway, I’ve got everything I need, so I’m planning to move right away.

-Quaang!

I confidently kicked in the main gate of Manmasungsangyo Bridge and entered.

“You crazy people! “Why are you breaking a normal door?”

“haha! “That makes you look strong!”

“It’s easy to invite people.”

In a word, it is efficient.

I’m thinking of taking these people anyway.

It doesn’t matter if you break a door.

“It’s an intruder!”

The hunter who was in touch with the worshiper quickly drew his sword.

Among the villagers, the elderly and weak entered the building, and the able-bodied took out weapons.

There were ordinary people in the hunter fight, but they had little mana but little courage.

I threw my worshiper’s name plate at that guy.

-Laughing.

“nice to meet. This is Evil Eye from Korea. “We caught the worshipers who poisoned the cult leader here.”

People who look at each other at the word worshiper.

Looking at the reaction, it seems like they had no idea.

Hunter’s face, on the other hand, hardened.

“I heard you poisoned the cult leader?”

“gibberish! “Don’t make false accusations that don’t work.”

“noisy. You’re a liar. “Ask yourself.”

Tuk. The religious leader was placed on the ground.

The effects of addiction still lingered and he was haggard, but his eyes were alive.

“Punish that traitor!”

As soon as I saw Hunter’s face, I screamed.

On behalf of the hesitating guys who didn’t know what to do, the hairless man threw himself forward.

Just tackle it.

The moment when you are about to slam your fist into the face.

“Hey! There are kids. “Go to Jeollu and move on.”

“Achacha. haha! “I’ll have a quick interview.”

“Woof!”

The bald man scratched his head at Nyangfun’s shout, grabbed the guy’s mouth, and went out of the village.

I guess it’s because I have good ears. I thought I heard the sound of bones breaking.

anyway.

“I took out the trash. “I’d like to have a conversation. Do you all have time?”

There was no separate answer.

I decided to understand that it exists.

* * *

As promised, China provided space to receive refugees.

I tried to give them the outer area, but surprisingly they left the middle seat empty.

There is no particular reason.

This may be because the knowledge they possessed was coveted.

Surprisingly, so do we.

Not all members of Manmasungsanggyo were Chinese.

There were also people who unexpectedly joined because the world was ruined while they were staying there.

Same case as Hwamu-seon.

Half of them were sent to the Chinese government, and those who wanted to go home were sent home.

And the boy and the religious leader I saw in the village.

“This is Korea!”

“Hmm. “It’s a place worth living in.”

I brought it to Korea.

Even though my nationality is Korean, I didn’t expect the religious leader to follow me.

Actually, I tried to convince you if you wanted to go to China.

Unfortunately, there was no need to use a means of persuasion (shotgun).

“Why aren’t you going to your hometown?”

“It was obvious that if I went that way, I would only end up being exploited. “I know better that when the sweet water goes out, it gets thrown away.”

Mid 50s.

The leader, who stood on the borderline between middle-aged and elderly, knew his position objectively.

What is surprising is that he is an early hunter.

It was thanks to his authority and skills that he was able to investigate and utilize the monster ecosystem so far.

[Authority Ecologist (AAA) looks at the concrete forest.]

“In the first place, I didn’t want to create a religion or anything. If you create a cult in China, you will be shot. “It’s just how I live, so people call me that.”

“ah. “You know that feeling.”

He nodded at the words of Wang Wei, the leader of the Ten Thousand Demons Singing Church.

I also solved the strategy and the Pejing Alliance was formed.

In any case, the results are good.

Because we were able to bring in the person with the most knowledge in the church.

Ai also said that he was Wang Wei’s disciple.

Was his name Kim Min-jun?

I didn’t ask about my parents.

We came to China together, but I could tell without having to say why he was alone.

It was easy to decide what to do with a child who had nowhere to go.

“This child is also a new human being. “There’s a reason I took you as my disciple.”

Minjun Kim also awakened.

Academy admission confirmed.

Wang Wei is there.

“Professor. It’s an honorable position.”

I plan to become a professor.

In addition, I will participate in national-level research.

The point when everything goes well.

The Pejing Union Festival is approaching and with it.

-Quaaaaaang!

A terrorist attack occurred.
