Kill the living and offer them to a great being.
Thatâ¦
was the ideology of the âChurch of Spectersâ, one of the giant powers on the 20th floor.
Although there are only 20 floors, it is not simply because their capabilities are limited to the 20th floor.
An endless stream of blood and a battlefield spread across the stairs.
A treasure trove of resources based on abundant magic stones.
The advantage of being able to secure infinite sacrifices and magic stones at the same time was the reason they stayed on this floor for so long.
and present.
A monster with a terrible appearance was standing in the barracks where countless corpses were piled up.
Red blood runs down his black lips.
A bloody crown was placed on the monsterâs head, which had the appearance of a skinny man.
ââ¦Like you said. We destroyed all the human strongholds.â
He is the leader of the Church of the Specter and one of the seven deadly sins, âlazinessâ.
Both in name and reality, even in the upper echelons, an existence that belongs to the name class.
However, there was an existence that such a monster politely bowed its headâ¦
It was âGuntaperâ, one of the demon kings of the demon realm.
To be precise, it was an alter ego containing Guntaperâs soul.
âHmm. Good work. You confided in me very well.â
Guntaper clicked his tongue and looked around the ruins.
Bodies piled up like a mountain.
Hundreds of players lost their lives without being able to resist properly.
âAs you said, humans with strong magical powers were captured separately, but a few escaped the encirclement and scattered.â
He pointed to the prison that Sloth had prepared in one corner.
Players of A-rank or higher were locked in a prison where red flames were burning instead of iron bars.
âHuh? Did you get out of the siege? How many?â
âI think there are about 30 or 40 people. Of course, the pursuers are fiercely chasing them, so we should be able to find them all before the sun goes down today.â
âTo miss that many even with a Blood Knight and a Slayer⦠Is that even possible?â
Guntaferâs mouth twisted subtly.
In an instant, the surrounding temperature cooled down.
Itâs creepy cold.
ââ¦!â
Parr.
Slothâs whole body trembled slightly.
Fear, horror
and a terrifying aura that transcended all of them pressed down on my heart.
âAmong these humans, there was a candidate for an apostle of âEdenâ. She was a blond woman who used divine power strongly, so it seems that the Blood Knight had no choice but to give her a chance. But, if you give me a little time⦠No, I will Even if you move yourselfâ¦!â
âYouâre still busy making excuses. The one in charge of sloth among the seven deadly sins. Why do you think youâre locked up on the 20th floor?â
The other mortal sins enjoy their respective places in the upper levels of the tower.
But only sloth. He was not in the upper class, but in the middle class, and occupied the position of leader of the church.
âThat, thatâsâ¦â
âBecause it didnât produce results.â
No matter how perfect the process is, it has no meaning.
Results It is only the results that matter most.
âDonât let me down this time either. If nothing else, we must capture the saintess alive.â
âRemember⦠Iâll do it.â
Natae shook her head.
âOkay. Trust me.â
Guntaperâs clone melted into the shadows and disappeared.
OK.
Crunchy!
Sloth is broken, so I gnashed my teeth.
âGather all the followers. I will triple the number of pursuers.â
âYes. Teacher.â
The massive slayer fell to his knees.
âAlso, send a messenger to the other forces and tell them what I have to say.â
The other giant forces on the 20th floor, the âRed Giantâ and âGreat Wingâ, and numerous minor forces intertwined with them.
You should make it clear to all of them.
âWhat can I tell you?â
âIâll put a bounty on you. Whoever catches the blonde saintess who uses divine power will receive 30% of the magic crystals from this magic stone mine for the next 3 years.â
The magic crystal mine on the 20th floor holds one of the largest veins in the entire tower.
The purity is also very high, so on top of the yolk where medium and high-grade magic stones are being mined in piles.
Giving 30% of that was a truly amazing offer.
It meant that the power of the faction could increase significantly at once.
Thatâs why sloth was thinking of completing the mission with all his might.
âI will obey the command of the great leader.â
The slayer and numerous followers began to move.
ï¼ï¼ï¼
[You have entered the 20th floor.]
Ugh!
A new group appeared on the 20th floor with a bright light.
It was the âOld Inmul Corporationâ led by Jinhyeok.
âItâs the 20th floor⦠Weâve already come this far.â
Sky with two suns. A landscape of dry meadows and long canyons.
This is the 20th floor.
Jinhyukâs gaze turned to the air.
It must be around this timingâ¦.
Tring!
[Attack Conditions]
Description: There are about 173 factions on the 20th floor.
There are about 20 factions with more than 1,000 members. To clear the 20th floor, you must either be in the top 3 of all these factions or completely destroy the biggest one.
A status window containing the attack conditions appeared.
âIf itâs the greatest force, it must be the Church of the Specter.â
As a collection of fanatics who serve the demon king, their power is also enormous.
In particular, there was one of the seven deadly sins, âlazinessâ, at the head of them, but if you simply look at the combat power, it was a monster that corresponds to the âheroâ class.
âI need to be a bit nervous. Thereâs too little information about this place. Almost no people came here in the first placeâ¦â
Chun Youseong waved his hand with a stiff face.
âDoes the swordsman of the world seem afraid?â
âWhat is cowardice! Iâm just trying to be careful. Isnât it common sense to be thoroughly prepared when going to a strange place? Especially if itâs on the 20th floor.â
Well, the raw meat that played the old tower of trials couldnât go beyond the 20th floor.
Even that leech-like Sword Saint gave up climbing the tower here.
âItâs a bit difficult here. Itâs a place where a lot of kids like you come out.â
âWhat do you mean kids like me?â
Sreung!
Chun Yuseongâs sword was half drawn.
You have to speak well here.
I didnât know that I could be in more danger than Teresa.
âThat means that there are a lot of masters who are that good. They train hard and have talent. You know what I mean?â
Chunk!
The sword went back into the scabbard.
âRather, itâs as if the tone has ever passed through this place. Did you go beyond the 20th floor?â
A flurry of questions ensued.
This guy always used to wonder how high I climbed.
âIâve been a little further than this.â
âAs expected. I expected it after seeing the work in the Empire and Murim. I had been to the mid-20th or early 30th floor.â
From the middle of the 20th floor to the beginning of the 30th floor
â¦
Jinhyeok smiled.
âAnswer me straight. Is it on the second half of the 20th floor? Is it on the 30th floor?â
âWell. I canât remember how far I went.â
âYouâre always so selfishâ¦!â
Chun Yu-seong tried to ask more about the answer that obscured the point, butâ¦
thatâs it.
The conversation was cut off at the sound of someoneâs presence through the reeds.
someone is coming
âKick-kick! What is this? These are the new tenants?â
The bushes parted and appeared hobgoblins with small daggers.
They are larger than normal goblins and are a superior species with far superior intelligence.
In addition, due to the nature of moving in large numbers, it was a very difficult axis to deal with.
okay.
This is the 20th floor.
from the entry point. until the outgoing exit.
Every place and every time you set foot is a continuation of the battlefield.
âIt looks like he just entered the 20th floor, but itâs quite unlucky that the opponent is us.â
âGick giggle! Like that.â
âI deserve praise for crawling all the way here, but I ran out of luck there.â
âIf you give everything you have, you can save lives. First of all, hand over the silver-haired woman and the dark-haired woman behind you.â
The hobgoblinsâ sword points were directed at Alice and the chuhonsayoung.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Even if I had to choose⦠would you pick those two?
It seems that this side is not the one who is unlucky.
âOh, you want me?â
Sayeong Chu walked forward with a bright smile on her face.
âKick-kick! Youâre walking on your own feet, wise.â
âDonât be too scared.â
âBecause we donât eat human meat for a while. Just⦠gagging?â
The mocking voice did not last long.
squeak.
Crunchyâ¦
The Hobgoblinâs head just rolled off.
The pure white sword drew a curve that was so blinding.
âWhy are you so surprised? Werenât they the ones who asked me to come?â
Chu Hon Sa-yeong flicked her finger.
âKyik?â
âAre you going to repay the grace of being arrogant and save me with something like this?â
âIâll tear you to shreds and kill you!â
Hobgoblins immediately counterattacked.
Armed with a heavy wooden shield and sword, he aimed for a funeral from all directions.
Right then.
Pupper puck!
Red harpoons shot through the air from the side.
âKeew!â
âKuaaa!â
The Hobgoblins, who had become skewers in an instant, fell to the ground.
âYou are such filthy little things that you canât figure out the subject. Who are you arguing over who will save your life or not?â
Cuckoo Cuckoo!
As Elise released her magical powers, black clouds fell under the sun.
Magic beyond imagination.
It is the realm of the absolute that no hobgoblin or the like can dare to surpass.
âGod, they are monsters!â
âHey!â
âThe 20th floor is full of ignorant people! I have to tell the captain right now!â
But thatâs just a wishful thinking.
The red meteor shower that started pouring down from the sky turned the surroundings into a scorched earth.
Kwak Kwa Kwa Kwam!
Kwaaang!
He did not intend to spare even a single bug that had dared to claim ownership over him.
âOh, Iâm sorry if you only turn your attention to that lady. You have to play with me too.â
And that was the same for Sayoung, who has lived a noble life. As
the 8th ceremony of âThe Sword of Deathâ unfolds, a beautiful trajectory cuts through the space.
ââ¦!?
â â¦Huh?â
He couldnât even recognize how he had suffered.
He was just slaughtered one-sidedly.
The scene of the tragedy that started like that.
The blood of the hobgoblins soaked the reed field.
âIs it really necessary to kill them all? â
Chun Yoo-seong swallowed dryly as he watched the viciously rampaging funeral rites.
Although he didnât know it, he must have thought that he should treat Master a little more politely from now on.
â
We have to take care of all but one .â It must be clearly imprinted on them.
By now, the Olympus guildâs raiding party, which has been destroyed, must be running away frantically, avoiding pursuit.
To save them, it is absolutely necessary to divert attention
. I should also take advantage.â
Then, shall we start attacking the 20th floor in earnest?
Jinhyeok opened the subspace inventory.
The privilege obtained by attacking the 19th floor.
The means to smoothly attack the 20th floor is inside this!
Ugh!
A small box with bright light one appeared
