131 – Tower of Time – 2

I calmed down the grouchy Gwaltayrak and then fed the strutting Wheelort with honey chestnuts.

She too was welling up with tears, but ignored it for now.

I drew everyone’s attention and pointed to the tower.

“The ultimate goal is to climb to the top floor of that tower. However, there is a time limit for conquering each floor of the tower. If you stay in the tower longer than that, you will be trapped in the gap of time.

Even during the game, there was a time limit when attacking this tower, and when the time limit was over, one of the characters said.

– It’s time, so let’s go back today.

and was forced to leave.

Of course, it was different from the game now, so he might not be forced out, but there was no need to take the risk.

“To go up to the next floor, you have to pass through the three ordeals provided on each floor. And up to three people can enter the ordeal.”

“That is. Are you saying that only nine of us can enter?”

The moment Lacey, who was groaning with her arms crossed, uttered a word, everyone’s eyes lit up.

You must form a party of only three people.

There will be no one who doesn’t know what that word means.

“Sage. What are you going to do?”

Cyron was the first to move in the game of notice.

If it’s something like an ordeal, I’m sure they’ll test it in various ways rather than fighting with ignorance.

It is most comfortable to go with someone who can use many skills.

And of course it comes

Depending on whether there is a sage who can use all of the support skills along with the heal, the difficulty of the attack will change greatly.

“Actually, the party composition has already been done.”

“Wait a minute. Hyeonu. Are you the only ones allowed to go in there?”

Veronica trembled and stepped out. Did she want to participate too?

She glanced at the warrior party members.

“I want to participate too. To be honest, it’s a little bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of”

sage me

Sorceress Karin.

And Cyron, the shaman, and Cherubim, the alchemist.

Except for these four, there is no proper support.

Especially considering that only me and Cyron can use recovery and buffs that can withstand long-term battles and debuffs that weaken the enemy’s strength.

“What the rest of us have to do is to put an end to the chaos and followers?

“I know the heart of the cardinal, but you can’t do that.”

“Oh, no, what do you know… more than that, why?”

“It’s simple. Those who don’t deserve it receive a fatal debuff. Magic and mental power continuously decrease.”

“Ugh. That, that’s it.”

It is not necessary to recruit seekers of the eight stars for nothing.

As usual, Gwalteirak would come and explain in person before the edict was issued, but it was unknown because I had gathered everyone before that.

“Sage. I guess I didn’t tell you everything.”

“I just made the point.”

“is it.”

The only ones who can reliably fight in that tower are nine qualified people.

And the danger of the tower increases as the followers of Cronus spread their power.

In the tower, when attacking a level, there is a moment of inability to attack.

And when the next floor is opened, the monsters coming out of the tower become stronger.

Gwalteirak calmly explained the other precautions, and Veronica nodded bitterly.

“That’s why we need external support.”

“That’s right. If we don’t do it properly on the outside, we on the inside will have a hard time.”

Veronica let out a heavy sigh. She wanted to enter the tower too, but she didn’t feel compelled because she knew that she didn’t qualify and that she had a lot of work to do outside.

“Then would you like to go in now?”

Gwalteirak pointed to an open tower.

There is a pitch-black darkness inside the tower that makes it impossible to understand the inside.

I looked there and shook my head.

I still have a lot to prepare, so I can’t do it now.

“I see. Then, since there’s nothing more to say, how about we go back? This is a cursed wilderness. It’s not a good place to stay for long.”

“By the way, Gwaltayrak. Why are you still here?”

“Because my master, Cosmo, has given instructions. Cronus is the great enemy of Cosmo. That means he is my enemy. It is my mission to stop the plan of that god.”

“Wouldn’t it be dangerous alone?”

Gwalteirak laughed.

His confidence was revealed, as if he were saying that if he is in danger, there is no one who is not in danger.

I wonder if that is the same as Gwalteirak, who complained about losing his lines earlier.

It’s really heartbreaking…

“I say that, but let’s leave this to Gwalteirak for now.”

“Um. Leave this place to us. We will prevent the monsters from escaping as much as possible.”

With a snort of breath, Gwaltayrak pierced the spear into the ground and crossed his arms.

If it wasn’t for that appearance earlier, it would have been as cool as it appeared in the game…

When he returned to the palace, the queen was waiting for him. No, it’s not just the Queen.

All the tribal alliances that had been established since the last Elven Forest Plague Incident had gathered.

“Yes. How did it go?”

Naturally, as the representative, I participated in the meeting and explained the situation.

Kronos, his follower.

And the towers that appear in the cursed wilderness and the monsters emitted from the towers.

and their purpose.

Those who heard the full story of the incident looked incredulous.

It was the same with events in the game.

If you become a representative in this way with a low reputation, there will be many people who deny your opinion.

However, it was a story that had nothing to do with me.

How many things have I done so far, how can you ignore my words?

“If it’s the words of a sage… I can’t believe it.”

Leopard Beast Wise, the agent sent by the Beast Tribe, groaned and nodded. Starting with him, they started to agree one by one, and the moment everyone agreed.

[Accomplished the achievement of persuading the rulers with the tongue.]

The achievement achievement message came to mind. Since this was an achievement in the DLC main event, there was no special reward, but the achievement itself was satisfying enough.

“Then what we need to do next…”

Although they have been talked about here and there, they are already within the framework of the tribal federation.

Since it was a tribal federation created with the intention of everyone eating well and living well together, there were few people who prioritized only their own tribe.

great.

If this is the case, I can just leave it to the outside.

“Then, sage. Can I entrust you with the attack of the tower?”

the desired sea.

I smiled at the queen.

“of course.”

After leaving the conference room, instead of returning to the annex, I immediately used teleportation.

Now that the DLC main story has begun, you have to go follow the achievements you put off.

-Wheeying…!!

After the teleportation, the place he arrived at was a wilderness.

Read at noblemtl. com

Just standing here brings mad loneliness and fear.

The innumerable stars in the sky hid themselves in the cloudless night sky, as if fearing the darkness of the wilderness.

In the wilderness where even the stars that are usually easily visible are hidden.

I moved on.

-Chuiiik!!

The monsters who heard my footsteps started screaming as if threatening in the dark.

But they couldn’t even approach where I was.

That’s right, even here in the cursed wilderness, it’s a very special place.

It’s right next to the temple that enshrines Cosmo, the foreign god of space.

The cursed wilderness is a place where just being there takes a toll on your mental power.

However, as soon as he crossed the boundaries of the temple, the amount of mental power consumed by the cursed wilderness penalty began to double.

Even though I am a cosmo worshiper.

As mental strength decreases, headaches become more severe.

But even so, I didn’t stop and headed towards the center of the temple.

“Hu… Almighty Cosmo, protect me with the color of the eternal universe. So, from space to space…”

The more I recite the prayer, the worse the headache gets. But it didn’t stop.

continue. continue. continue.

“Almighty Cosmo…”

And one moment when the mind goes blank.

The gap in the space opened very finely.

done.

Towards that gap, I quickly inserted the fragments of the foreign power I had obtained the other day.

[You have achieved the achievement of Interesting God.]

[Skill: Acquired Ho-ga Guard.]

[Skill: Obtained Exile to God.]

done.

Skills that are essential in my blueprint for the DLC main story.

Obtained Exile to God.

ruler. Then it’s a test.

I left the temple right away, and as if waiting for me to come out, a large monster started growling and approaching me.

When the monster with ten legs and hundreds of eyes, resembling a gigantic spider, roared while raising its forepaws like a giant scythe, I immediately activated the skill ‘Hogahowi’.

-Kiiiiik?!

The state of the monster that looked at me as food until just now changes.

The first one is curious.

The second is dismay.

Third is fear.

The escort skill is very simple.

It is to use oneself as a medium to reveal the dignity of a foreign press behind oneself.

The foreign press is a god with so much power that those with weak minds go crazy just by facing it.

It wasn’t too difficult to terrorize monsters with low intellect just by borrowing a little bit of the god’s majesty.

This alone is amazing, but the essence of Ho-ga-Ho-Wai is not like this.

It’s to scare you in the first place. It’s possible with other skills.

There is only one reason why this is a unique skill.

I aimed my staff at the monster who started to self-injure by removing his legs as he went mad.

“Exile to God.”

A skill that can only be used against opponents who have succumbed to Ho-Gai-Guard.

When ‘Exile to God’ was activated, a gap in space appeared around the spider monster.

It was a very fine, incontinent-level gap that I had seen before, but that was enough.

-Keee Kieee

The spider monster struggles.

His body instinctively refuses to be sucked into that gap.

However, the skill that had already been activated could not be canceled, and in the end, the body of the spider monster touched a gap like incontinence.

That was it.

The spider monster completely disappeared from this world.

According to the set-up, when they are banished to God, they are sent to Cosmo, but no one knows if it is real.

It’s a skill that does no damage to the player.

And in fact, that’s a good thing.

The important thing is that if you use this skill to eliminate enemies, you won’t get any rewards or items, but you can definitely eliminate the danger.

great.

With this, I’m sure you can move as planned.

Satisfied with the newly acquired skill, I cast teleportation to the palace.

“…what?”

Arrived at the annex, some were in the garden.

Veronica, Lucille and Wheeloth.

And Chin and Cherubim are dueling with Claire who is sipping tea as if thinking about something at a table in the corner.

and.

Even Lacey and Cylon, who are frowning at each other.

When I was puzzled by something unusual, Lacey and Cyron, who were hesitantly arguing, approached me.

“hey.”

“Huh? Why?”

“I will withdraw my support for you from today.”

“her.”

“From now on, the sage and I will break away from the relationship of support and become one body. An attack on the sage will be regarded as an attack on me.”

Cyron held out his hand after speaking quite seriously.

“So why don’t you party with me?”

Was it because she was playing? Lacey came closer and held out her hand to me.

“Sage. Do you want to see me go crazy?”

Why are we arguing with each other here?

You came to party with me.

but what about this

“You two should have the same party.”

For a moment, the two looked at each other, grinned, and shouted at the same time as if they had made a promise.

“Then come with us!”

“Then come with us!”

I responded without retreating to that intense cry of the soul.

“A warrior will be with you.”

So be brave and fight.

I glanced at Claire sitting in the corner of the garden sipping tea.

Quite startled, she spilled the tea she was drinking with her eyes wide open.
