71 – Climb the Tower (1)

Inside the upper level of the tower.

Chack! Blood welled up.

The bloody water, sticky like mud, gushed out like a fountain.

The blood that gushed out could not withstand the gravity and fell helplessly to the soil floor.

“… ….”

Excellent.

Blood pouring down like rain.

A man stared blankly at the drops of blood.

Soiled blood and a musty stench hit the man.

It was covered in blood like a rat in the rain, but I didn’t care at all.

Just stepping on the monster’s flesh and moving forward endlessly.

“You are good at it.”

It was then.

A strange woman’s voice rang from behind the pillar, which had fallen slightly.

A clear and refreshing voice roared and rolled in.

I wanted someone.

When I glanced around, I realized that there were several people staring at this place near the dark shadow.

Beat, beat, beat.

Footsteps echoed quietly.

The sound of footsteps lingered behind the pillar.

As if they didn’t care about the mixture of blood and internal organs, bright and unfamiliar people appeared.

“How are you?”

It consisted of six men and women.

However, it is not easy to see because the momentum is different.

The man naturally looked over the swings with a wary look.

It was a group of very talented people.

A pure white cross pattern.

Top-notch armaments and holy relics.

A group of highly skilled hunters.

I figured out who they really were.

Seongcheon Church.

It was a raiding unit of the Seongchun Church climbing the tower.

“Nice to meet you.”

A woman laughs in a sonorous voice as if it were their head.

She was a woman in her early to mid-twenties, wearing a fitted nun’s uniform and veil.

The woman, lightly sweeping her shoulder-length blond hair, continues her words elegantly.

“My name is Adeline Paul Charter. Feel free to call me Adelin.”

“… ….”

“I am a member of the Seongcheon Church…… You’ve probably heard my name at least once.”

“… ….”

The man responded with silence and the blond woman stepped towards him with a soft smile.

As soon as he took another step forward, the man widened his eyes as if to stop coming closer, and several hunters standing behind put their hands on the blonde woman’s sword sheath as if to protect her.

In an immediate situation, the blonde woman shook her head at her church members.

The church members showed a slight hesitation, then withdrew their hands as if they couldn’t go against the blond woman’s will.

The blonde woman smiled and moved closer to the man.

But she didn’t go any further.

Because it was obvious that if she tried to get closer than this, she would be attacked immediately.

The blonde woman quietly passed her words outside the dangerous margin line that the man had set.

“You don’t have to be too vigilant.”

“… ….”

“I am your fan.”

“… ….”

The blonde woman is talking nonsense.

“I have heard so much about you.”

Raises luck in a pretty fun way.

“I worked as a porter for several years, and after entering Geombaekryung, I ranked up incredibly quickly… ….”

The man’s eyebrows twitched.

“I heard you didn’t choose any means to climb the tower? Kill monsters or people as much as you like.”

As the man slowly draws his sword, the blonde woman quickly shakes her hand to dissuade him.

“Oh, don’t get me wrong. I have no intention of hurting you.”

She appeals for her own sincerity as if to clear up the misunderstanding.

“Because I am your fan, fan.”

The blonde woman fidgets with her white cross for a moment, then suddenly she speaks again.

“I want to help you.”

The blond woman smiles brightly at the man who frowns at her as he doesn’t understand her sudden words.

“How are you? Don’t you want to attack the tower with me?”

***

“Ah.”

I suddenly came to my senses.

After blinking her eyes, she took a quick look around.

The bloody scenery just now was nowhere to be found.

Blood, corpses of monsters, people of the Seongchun Church…….

Everything was gone.

“It must have been a dream.”

As soon as I realized that it was a dream, I immediately sighed deeply.

I dreamed of my future again.

As the days passed, the contents of the dream became clearer.

Now it’s to the point where I can’t tell if it’s a dream or a waking life.

I stole a cold sweat from my temple.

I realized that it was wet up to my back before I knew it, and I was sweating quite a bit.

“I must have fallen asleep.”

This is the central hall of Mapo-gu Gate.

It was an essential place to use to enter the tower.

I made an appointment to meet the party members here.

I woke up early today and had nothing to do at home, so I came to the gate and waited.

I was sitting in a chair for a while, playing on my cell phone, but it seems that I fell asleep.

Because of that, I had a nightmare that was not a nightmare.

“…… Seongcheon Church.”

I’ve been secretly dreaming of getting entangled with the Seongchun Church these days.

Sungcheonnyeo, who can be said to be the saint and representative hunter of the Seongcheon Church. When I think of Atheline Paul Charter, I feel bad for some reason.

Should I say it’s embarrassing?

There are not many cases where I felt bad feelings after seeing a beauty like Adelin.

So much so that he didn’t even know that he had formed a bad relationship with Adelin in the dream.

Who knows, maybe she would have stabbed her in the back of the head after saying she was helping Ethelin in her dreams?

I fiddled with my phone with an unknown reluctance in my heart.

I also searched the Internet once for the Seongcheon Church.

Numerous articles and videos were posted on Internet portal sites.

There was one video that caught my eye…….

‘Attack the top floor of the Seongcheon Church? This… ….’

Come to think of it, the internet is buzzing these days, saying that the Seongchun Church’s attack unit has been very active in attacking the tower.

‘How many interview videos are there? Let’s take a look.’

Out of curiosity, I clicked on the video of the interview with the attacking unit of the Seongcheon Church.

– How are you? Are you a Daelam Knight of the Holy Cult? For viewers who don’t know, may I ask you to introduce yourself?

– Yes. It’s called Awaken Daelam. He is the vice-captain of the 2nd Attack Unit.

In the interview video, the reporter is eagerly asking questions.

– These days, the unattacked class has been attacked very quickly and without any damage. What do you think about this?

– I think it’s all thanks to the grace of the heavenly ruler.

Well, I heard it by ear.

It is said that the three top classes that mankind has not yet conquered have been conquered at once.

For several months, numerous hunters tried, but they were in a difficult situation because they could not defeat the 8th level gatekeeper ‘Five Hands’.

The number of hunters killed by the gatekeeper called the Five Hands exceeded two digits…….

This is truly a great achievement.

Simply defeating five hands was enough to become a hot potato, but the Seongchun Church succeeded in attacking the two upper classes.

This was an even more astounding achievement than knocking down five hands.

That’s also because it usually takes a lot of time and materials to attack the untargeted layer.

Gathering information, supplying supplies, clearing roads, figuring out the weaknesses of the monsters that inhabit it, and so on.

Because there are numerous risks lurking in the top layer, it is standard practice to invest a lot of time and attack safely in order to reduce the maximum loss.

So, it takes at least several months to target the untargeted layer.

Hunters who can operate in the unreached layer that mankind has not yet conquered are S-B rank hunters.

Because it was a top-tier hunter that could not be easily handled even by large clans, it had to be attacked without loss.

On the day you accidentally kill an S-Rank Hunter…… Uh

However, within a few weeks, the Seongchun Church broke through the undefeated class without incident.

It was not a normal attack speed.

No matter how risky he took, the attack speed was unreasonable.

Of course, the size of the Seongchun Church is larger than that of a large clan, and the strength of the Seongchun Church is evaluated as considerable as it contains two of the top 10 hunters, but even so, it is not surprising that they attacked unexplored areas in such a short time. I couldn’t believe it.

Without much damage.

On the Internet, people are giggling and jokingly saying, ‘Don’t you even know how to attack the tower?’

As much as that, the speed of attacking the tower that the Seongcheon Church showed was beyond the scope of understanding.

Perhaps it was the blessing of the Catholics that the real Seongcheon Church believes in?

‘I wonder why they are attacking like this now… ….’

Anyway, visible results cannot be ignored.

‘There was nothing like this in my dream.’

Actually, it didn’t matter that Seongcheon Church attacked the topmost tower, but the Seongcheon Church in the dream couldn’t attack the tower so quickly.

The Seongcheon Church was also prosperous like other clans…….

‘Are dreams really just dreams? Or has something changed?’

I don’t know.

It’s more frustrating because I don’t know.

‘This would be a little difficult.’

Were the dreams I had just nightmares?

I was a bit confused because I had made a plan based on the contents of my dream in the future for attacking the tower.

I attacked and broke through numerous levels in my dream, and I was able to accumulate a wealth of knowledge about the tower.

Even if half of the knowledge I know now is correct, I will be able to benefit a lot in the future.

Through the dreams of the future, I’ve figured out quite a few ways to attack the top tower.

Are these all dreams?

‘No, it can’t be. Until now, I have compared the contents of my dreams with reality.’

Except for the attack of the Seongcheon Church, it almost matches the contents of reality.

‘Then…… Why is the attack on the tower of the Cult of Seongchun so different from the dream?’

I thought about it.

Aren’t there people in the Seongchun Church who are dreaming of a future like me?

Unless you know how to attack, you can’t break through the untargeted layer so quickly and without damage.

I doubted if there was someone who really knew how to attack the tower.

‘…… Why does it suddenly remind me of Charlotte?’

My eyebrows twitched at Sarterre’s face, which suddenly shook in my head.

There was no reason, but for some reason, the image of Sarterre was not forgotten in my mind.
