Episode 413. The 29th floor, the one who controls the sea (1)
The siege situation, which was 3 vs 1, quickly changed to a 2 vs 2 confrontation.
Chunk!
Jinhyeok picked up the spear that had fallen on the corpse.
[Luntar, the spear of the heavy angel âHamauelâ.]
Attack power: 10500
Durability: 100000 / 100000
Characteristics: It is the favorite weapon of Hamauel, one of the border guards of âEdenâ. 2 property effects of lightning and holy power are added, and when dealing with demons, attack power increases by 50% for 5 minutes.
[It has been transformed into a sacred relic with a special method, so demons can handle it.]
Indeedâ¦
Guntaper seems to have put a lot of effort into it.
This is because the technology that allows beings of opposite poles to use the power of the opposite force against them would have taken several years to achieve.
âItâs definitely different from before.â
A major turning point has been brought forward.
It was because variables intervened and the gods and residents of the tower also moved quickly.
okay.
âItâs fun like this.â
Jinhyeok smiled lightly as if he was interested.
Still, among the demon kings, Guntaper is the one who rolls the most hair, and if he didnât come out like this, he would have been rather disappointed.
By the wayâ¦
âShould I finish it soon? I have something to say.â
Jinhyeok stretched out his spear.
âYes. Letâs get rid of the worms first and then weâll have a conversation.â
Beriel also covered her nails with black demonic energy.
A shadow fell on the faces of the nobles.
I donât know if the three of us are going to face one Berielâ¦
In this situation, there was no chance of winning.
âDamn itâ¦â
âAaaaaa!â
After a short scream, all of Guntaperâs limbs that entered the territory turned into corpses.
Tuk-tukâ¦
Jinhyeok brushed off the dust on his body.
âIâm sorry. As soon as I came, I made you see the rough side.â
âNo. Itâs a place where you can get stabbed in the back of the head anytime, anywhere. Itâs common sense that each person is good at guarding their bodies.â
âHmm. It sounds like youâve been here before.â
Beriel tilted her head.
Oops.
Involuntarily brought up the story of the past.
Jinhyeok hurriedly added his words.
âThatâs what they say. Itâs common knowledge that demons are insidious. Is it possible to secure a gate rather than that?â
âFortunately, thanks to the position you held in a good position, I donât think it will be difficult to defend. Even if I give up on other territories, Iâll relocate my troops around here.â
âTake care so as not to be noticed. Guntaper will rather smell it if it is discovered that the troops are concentrated on one side.â
âDonât worry about that part. Even if you look at it like this, itâs a body that has been engaged in territorial wars for thousands of years.â
When it came to information manipulation and base protection, they suffered enough to break even.
The time to make basic mistakes is long gone.
âThen, from now on, as my apostles, we can defeat Guntaper together. I have prepared a room in my castle, so there will be no shortage during your stay.â
Hmm⦠I think Iâm misunderstanding something.
âSorry, but I have to go right away.â
âWhat, what?â
âThe rest of the kids are going through hell right now on the 29th floor. We have to go and help before itâs too late.â
âNo, then why the hell did you come here?â
âI need to check if the gate is connected well, and I want to ask some information on the other side. You know, right? What happened to the last war?â
Ragnarok was destroyed by Olympus and the Demon World.
at last.
After losing Yggdrasil, the upper gods of Ragnarok scattered and fled, and I heard that a pursuing party led by Ares is still taking care of the remnants.
âThey said that Guntaper had a means to destroy the spring water of the sunâ
.
âEven in the Demon World, it was conducted in utmost secrecy, so I donât know the exact details.
ââ¦Thatâs not true.â
Is there no information either?
When Jinhyeok made a disappointed expression, Beriel shrugged.
âStill, if I have to pick one clue, itâs that four knights Iâve never seen before participated in that war. They said that each had a different colored flag.â
If itâs four knightsâ¦no way.
Undoubtedly. The
[Four Knights of the Book of Revelation]
got involved.
And the fact that they appearedâ¦
âThat means an apocalypse scenario has been triggered.â
Assuming that, everything was right.
Jinhyukâs eyes narrowed.
A person who can clear at least one floor in the Tower of Trials is called an âApocalypseâ.
There are three grades of âBung-gyeâ, âGeniusâ and âCovenantâ, and Bung-gye is the end corresponding to one level.
Genius predicts the end of at least three levels, and Covenant predicts the end of the entire tower.
âThe four knights of the Book of Revelation are an apocalypse that corresponds to the realm of destructionâ.
Certainly, if they had intervened to that extent, it would not have been impossible for Yggdrasil to have been destroyed.
âJudging by the look on his face, my words seem to have been of some help.â
âYeah. Itâs been incredibly helpful.â
It is the beings on the 50th floor who are in charge of the apocalypse scenario, not the managers.
And after using the first apocalypse card, certain âsignsâ must be revealed before the apocalypse is activated.
As long as you know in advanceâ¦â¦.
It is said that preparation is possible.
âIâll do the details when we meet again after weâve finished that job. It wonât take too long, so until then, just secure the gate.â
âHmm. I understand. Itâs a pity, but I canât help it.â
âAh! Andâ¦â
Before leaving, Jinhyeok stretched out his palm toward Beriel.
âWhatâ¦?â
âWhat is it? To help you, I broke through the gate and took care of Remia, Guntaperâs core limb, but are you going to send me away empty-handed?â
thatâs not common sense
And if you donât keep the top coat, you may end up sticking to Guntaper.
Beriel pressed her temple with her index finger.
But the pounding head showed no signs of getting better.
ââ¦Youâre probably the only one in the world who threatens the demon lord. Whoa. So, what do you need?â
âJust get me a nice boat.â
If possible, a guy with a gun.

The 29th floor of the Tower of Trials.
Most of the stairs, except for the fortress of giants and some islands, where the âsea battleâ is the main stage, were made up of the huge sea.
Shoot Ah â¦.
Jin -hyuk, who stood at the starting point, listened to the sound of the waves.
hot sun and cool wind.
Maybe it was because I had been in the dark world of demons, but all of this felt nice.
âIs everyone doing well?â
At first, I told them not to overdo it and focus on adapting, but I donât know how they are doing.
Jinhyeok started walking along the shore.
âFirst of all, I need to figure out what level of ships the players have.â
The condition for passing the 29th floor is to subdue the large-scale pirates residing on this floor or find treasure on the island at the bottom of the floor.
One of the two must be satisfied.
At first glance, it seemed advantageous because the players were not competing with each other.
The size of the stairs is so large, and the person who gets the various rewards first is the owner, so it wonât flow so smoothly.
Right then.
âHuh? Brother?â
âbrother!â
It looked familiar.
It was Yoo Yeon-hwa and Lee Tae-min.
âWhy are you guys⦠here?â
If a week had passed, I thought, of course, I would be much further back.
In particular, Lee Tae-min, who has the âMachine Lordâ ability, was an overwhelmingly advantageous position in naval battles.
âOf course I was waiting for you.â
âItâs been a long time since weâve cooperated, but we have to come together after a long time. Look. We even built a boat among ourselves.â
Lee Tae-min and Yoo Yeon-hwa pointed to a boat on the shore.
The small ship, about 5m in size, had a fairly plausible appearance.
This⦠is a bit touching, isnât it?
It is also a law that people should behave properly and be kind on a daily basis.
âDo you know how the other kids are doing?â
âUm⦠thatâsâ¦â
Yoo Yeon-hwa blurted out her words.
âWhy, whatâs going on?â
âHyung. You know. In fact, things got a bit complicated, haha. That Yoosung hyung declared an independent action. The same goes for Elise-sister.â
Where there are no tigers, the fox is king.
It is said that Chun Yoo-seong gathered small pirates around and made a pirate fleet.
Alice also created her own faction.
âIâm going to become the ruler of this sea or something⦠Anyway, if you look at the end, you will be cleared, so everyone must have wanted to pass first place.â
âIt was the damn manager who made the affair. He promised to give the player who got through first what he wanted most. In my case, it was an S-class AI chip.â
âI was a gauntlet made from the bones of an Irish wale.â
To prevent players from allying with each other.
In order to further increase the difficulty of this floor.
Managers came out.
âWhat are you a manager doing? Youâre the one who issues empty checks.â
âA rat⦠No, he has the appearance of a hamster, but his personality is so damn good.â
âYoosung hyung said he would be given the right to participate in the âSangsangdaejeonâ hosted by the tower and the right to nominate someone he wanted. I promised Ellis sister a lodging ticket on Paradise Island for 8 days and 7 nights with my lover. â
âI also suggested something to Teresa, but I forgot what it was. Anyway, everyone went into battle individually.â
All of a suddenâ¦
Chun Yoo-seong and Ellis were given a bait that was hard to refuse.
I think this layering attack will be more spectacular than I thought.
A lot of it too.
* * *
âObserverâs shipâ above the clouds overlooking all 29 floors.
There, the middle-level manager âAllutiâ who manages this floor and the low-level managers who follow him are gathered.
âSqueak squeak! As expected, humans should be educated this way.â
Alluti giggled, clutching the huge sunflower seeds that fit in both hands.
The rest of the hamsters also gnawed at different nuts and looked down.
âShoot! Thatâs right. Thanks to Alluti-samaâs stepping up, things seem to be going pretty smoothly.â
âIf this is the case, Hasting-sama will be satisfied.â The
reason they put so
much effort into it was because of Hastingâs order. âI donât know what he was thinking,
but itâs an opportunity for me anyway.â
Hastings was the only one who actively stepped forward among the senior managers who were mostly shrouded
in
mystery
. â Itâs fortunate that what unexpectedly
strong candidates want is trivial.â
It was something that could be solved within oneâs own authority.
Still,
one should be careful with the ones called âhead of Ataraxiaâ, âsaintâ and âsword saintâ.
Those with this level of skill will get to the last island sooner than expected. Because I didnât know if it would reach.
Of course, in order to handle the matter more perfectly, I bought another insurance policy.
Just in time.
Smart.
Someone came to the managerâs location.
âSqueak squeak! Welcome. I almost fainted while waiting.â
Alluti greeted the person who entered the room.
