Stuck in The Tower

Side Story Episode 33

Flames rising from underground cover the battlefield.

For a brief moment as I soared into the air, I had some time to spare.

I quickly looked at the entire situation.

“You have many enemies.”

“Yes.”

I guess it’s because it’s a large gate.

The internal size is unusual.

They are fighting as viciously as we decided to attack them.

A situation where each other’s lives are at stake.

It may seem like a tense fight, but over time we will win.

Little by little, we were pushing them away.

however.

“What are those guys again?”

Several Guryong guild members were seen leaving the battlefield.

Although the Magma Fairy is blocking the path with a volcanic eruption, it is difficult to cover the entire battlefield because they are fighting so intertwined.

A fight close to a melee.

It would be nice if we could at least identify the enemy.

Are they taking advantage of that opportunity to escape?

If we win anyway, we clear the gate.

There would be no point in trying to escape inside the gate.

[The luck stat is sparkling!]

Something sparkling beyond the battlefield.

Near a building that looked like a research lab, I saw people pulling a cart and moving a large amount of mana stones.

Everything is top grade.

At that scale, it was enough to power the entire city of Seoul for a month.

In other words, it was a huge source of energy.

[The SSS level power, Star-watching Eye, is activated.]

“Such a bastard!”

I could see what they were trying to do.

[Gate Portal (SSS)]

– This is a gate control device.

-Binded items.

-Connect gates together! Change location coordinates! Anything is possible.

– Requires a huge amount of energy!

The reason why Ouroboros was able to move between gates.

The reason why I want to operate that is simple.

I’m trying to create a hole to escape from here.

I was told that there were relatively few Guryong guild members, so this was the case.

[Rainbow Bridge]

-Aaaah!

I stretched out my rainbow bridge without hesitation.

The guys who found me pointed their weapons at me.

Fire all at once.

-Quaaaaaang!

The gun prepared in the laboratory spewed fire.

There is no need to avoid it.

Just ducking down and hiding under the rainbow bridge is enough.

As long as there is an indestructible option, their attacks lose meaning.

However, I have no intention of just being beaten quietly.

– Taaat!

As soon as I reached my destination, I extended my sword forward.

“Khaaaak!”

“How can we get here!”

Those who were cut in two at once fell down and buried the mana stones that were scattered carelessly.

“I knew it would be like this. “I thought I would make a hole in the back.”

I almost didn’t know when the exit route was opened.

I had no idea that even though their main base was being robbed, they were building an escape route without participating in the war.

-Lack of operating energy.

-Charge rate: 73%

Fortunately, it seems that there is not enough energy to operate yet.

I wanted to get it if possible, but it is a bound item.

I stretched out my hand and used a fire bomb.

-Quaaaaaaaaa!

Although it is an SSS level item, it cannot overcome my firepower.

I had no doubt that it would be completely destroyed.

“I was wondering where you were hiding, but you were here?”

“I did it just in case. “I already knew that you were acting arbitrarily.”

A saboteur appeared.

Guhwangmo, the leader of the Guryong guild.

I twisted the corner of my mouth and looked down on him, but inside I was a little surprised.

‘It certainly wouldn’t have been enough to block Firebomb head-on, right?’

I’ve already encountered that guy.

I can assure you that it was never at this level.

One hit from Firebomb would kill him without leaving a trace.

Because of that, there are some things I left behind for a while.

Because I was confident that I could handle it at any time.

‘I’ve been disguising it all this time.’

To be precise, even though there was a way to become stronger, he wasn’t using it.

He must have known that I read other people’s information.

Becoming famous means revealing what you have.

It doesn’t matter though.

“You die to me today.”

What matters is that he is in front of you.

One of the culprits of this incident.

-Roaring!

-Kwasik!

He breathed fire into the guy’s eyes and extended his sword.

The guy whose shoulder was pierced at once takes a step back.

It doesn’t seem like durability has increased.

-Just do it yourself!

I swung my sword one after another.

The wounds increase on the body of the guy who is repeatedly pushed out.

Even though it was obvious that I was pushing myself, I focused on my five senses.

From what I’ve seen so far, he never steps forward in a dangerous situation.

While all the other Ouroboros representatives were participating in the battle, he was alone in the back corner?

It is a safe position, but it is also a position where you cannot receive support from others if attacked.

That’s right.

“Heiden.”

【Yes.】

-Quaaaaaaaaa!

A loud noise rang out along with my words.

Exactly behind me.

Haiden blocked the attack aimed at the blind spot.

“this this. You meet all the big names. “This wasn’t what I expected.”

Fragments of chaos.

He’s also a pretty sneaky guy.

Even though I got close, I didn’t feel any presence.

It may have been possible because Gu Hwang’s mother caught my eye.

[The mamemtron of speculation and appointment looks at you.]

This guy.

【It is the highest level.】

“It looks like that.”

It is a fragment of chaos beyond the upper ranks that Bekera spoke of.

Are you going to believe this?

But I also kept Haiden hidden until now just in case something like this happens.

“What do we do now?”

Heiden is dealing with this guy.

In the meantime, I got rid of Guhwangmo.

“It must have been like this because you could handle it, right?”

“There were unexpected variables, but it’s okay.”

A relaxed look.

Is this a bluff?

no. The person’s emotions seen through the spirit world do not fluctuate at all.

I stabbed the sword in with some uneasy feeling.

Whatever you prepare, just finish it before you use it.

[Geomgang]

-Wood!

“…What did you do?”

He grabbed my sword.

I definitely saw it.

Gu Huang’s mother’s eyes moved late.

It means that he noticed my attack too late.

Nevertheless, the attack was resisted.

‘It was strange from before.’

The thing itself didn’t react to my movements.

Nevertheless, we managed to minimize the damage.

Why is that possible?

“You touched something you shouldn’t touch.”

[Charyeok]

[Brings a being from another world into the body.]

[The soul of Megar, the dimensional rifter, dwells in it.]

Two-dimensional skill.

It is a trace of a power that exists beyond a dimension where even levels do not exist.

The skills I use are similar to sword training and karma clearing.

What that means.

“You’re opening a dimensional store. “Are you sane?”

He opened a dimensional store.

It doesn’t matter how you opened it.

What matters is that you did it.

Now I understand everything.

Why was the Nine Emperor Mother able to create a white pill?

I knew in advance about the relationship between Hunter’s climbing and the occurrence of the gate.

‘That’s the whole reason why Ouroboros members became stronger.’

It explains why they got stronger and why they have gate portals.

Why did they gather together a back alley organization and commit an international crime to collect valuable items?

Because you have to pay for using the dimension store.

I did something I shouldn’t have done.

“why? “Did I do something I shouldn’t have done?”

“You don’t know.”

Dimensional merchants get paid by any means possible.

If you don’t have it, you can tie together everything that is connected to him.

perhaps.

‘Even if I use this world.’

The dimension merchant will collect the price.

That’s why I haven’t opened a dimensional store in a while.

Because I don’t know how they will come out.

Because they can’t predict how the price they’re talking about will be paid out.

“Hehe. Ha ha ha ha ha!”

Gu Hwang’s mother bursts into laughter and hits her knee.

Does he still not know what he did?

no.

“so?”

I know it well.

“Isn’t it okay if I don’t perish while I’m still alive?”

With extreme selfishness.

“I did something I shouldn’t have done. “But me.”

This world is for a guy full of desire.

“I can do anything if necessary.”

They are simply consumables that must exist for oneself.

Guhwangmo takes out an item from the inventory.

Items purchased from a two-dimensional store.

[Gate Disruptor (SSS)]

– Overheats the gate!

-Where will the overlapping gates go?

It is an artifact that splits the gate and scatters it in all directions.

“I wonder where you’ll go when the gate outside bursts. “You’re not going to stay to catch us, are you?”

His thumb points towards the artifact operation button.

A confident expression and joy filling your face.

That moment when sadistic satisfaction fills him.

-Quaaaaaang!

“Anyone wants.”

I broke the guy’s hand.

“What!”

Gu Huang’s mother was frightened and threw herself backwards.

Either way, I stepped on the gate divider he dropped and destroyed it.

Blood is flowing from my leg.

In order to get closer to him, I used all the skills and titles with movement-related auxiliary values at once.

Thanks to this, even though the bridge was completely destroyed, we succeeded in destroying the disruptor.

If you got a little closer, I would have broken your neck.

“You crazy bastard. Could you kill me like that? ha ha ha. “You’re so stupid for throwing away your leg.”

For a moment, I was surprised that it was approaching at a speed that I couldn’t even perceive.

The guy raises his eyebrows when he sees his legs have become impossible to even stand properly.

Even though I have bad legs, I guess I can beat him.

right. This can be corrected immediately by using an elixir. There’s no way he could watch that.

however.

“It looks like you still don’t know me.”

Do it if necessary.

So do I.

– Pugh.

The chaos sword was thrust into the heart.

Vitality drains quickly.

And it rises.

[Such a fool! (S) Lv.MAX]

“Such a fool!”

“I told you. “You’re going to die today.”

The broken leg is restored and the heart that had stopped beating again.

I cut the guy to pieces before the lingering pain even went away.

-Chaaaaaaaa!

Dozens of sword marks are engraved on his body.

Blood pouring out.

-Boogrrrrr.

Wounds regenerate quickly.

Did you do something other than other world skills?

I don’t know.

I don’t even want to know.

If you don’t die, do it again.

If you survive though.

‘until the death.’

Cut it.

[The SSS-level power of the unyielding sword spirit flashes!]

“Damn it!”

A sword coming toward your throat.

He takes out a syringe and stabs it into my thigh.

-Kagagagagak!

The rapid increase in reaction speed struck the sword.

It’s not just that it’s faster.

The durability has increased to the point where the sword can be thrown away.

-Suddenly.

I can tell by looking at his syringe.

“The assimilation rate has increased.”

“Kruk. “Hehe.”

Did you say it was power?

A skill that summons beings from another world.

An item was used to forcibly increase the assimilation rate.

Needless to say, it was purchased from a dimension merchant.

-Quaang!

Just as I was looking at the syringe, the guy rushed towards me.

The hand I broke returned to its original state.

That thing over there.

‘It’s similar to Geomgang.’

The blue light surrounding the guy’s fist.

It’s similar to the sword I use.

Is it a soul from a place like the other world that uses sword steel?

-Kwagagagagagak!

Even though I struck it with a sword, my wrist is throbbing.

Gu Hwang’s mother was also not fine.

Because the fist that was crushed with a single punch was being regenerated.

No matter how much you increase the assimilation rate, there are physical limitations.

This would be especially true if you hadn’t climbed to the top floor and trained your body to the limit.

“It’s no use for you to come out like that. “Give me more forced connection ampoules!”

The guy shouts into the air.

I frowned.

It is difficult to see with the naked eye, but it is visible to the spirit world.

Space trembles and a gap appears in the dimension.

“I’ll pay the price. Give it to me!”

-ha.

Is it an illusion?

I heard someone sighing.

In his hand was a rat, identical to the syringe he had just used.

“Where?”

Needless to say, I dug in.

Detonate a fire bomb at its feet and block its escape route with the Earth Wall.

I was planning on cutting him down before I could even use the syringe.

-Toong.

– Whirring!

A strangely extended hand strikes away my sword and escapes with a movement that is almost acrobatic.

Free but systematic movement.

– Pugh.

Gu Hwang’s mother inserted an injection.

[Nine Hwangmo]

– One of the five representatives of Ouroboros.

-The soul of Megar the Dimension Cracker resides!

-Assimilation rate: 78%

-Information update

-Assimilation rate: 82%

-You might lose your body!

“Kwaaaah!”

The assimilation rate rose sharply.

Old Emperor’s mother’s eyes turned red.

An energy as red as blood flows out of the whole body.

see.

A new symbol is born and clings to its soul.

It looks directly at me and exudes curiosity and fighting spirit.

Even the soul of Gu Hwangmo, who reacted to the soul inhabiting him, gradually began to turn red.

It’s already half eaten.

“If you do that, your body will be taken away.”

“Not yet.”

The guy who was drooling and twisting the corner of his mouth kicked his foot.

Minimal movement.

Soon it was frighteningly fast.

“This problem will be solved if you die!”

It has arrived right in front of you.
