episode_0331

The 10th time and the tower of purgatory that descended into the bowl.

Either way, it’s equally dangerous, but the Tower of Purgatory owner isn’t yet confident that he can finish off the main body.

In contrast, the 10th time was semi-permanently realized. The disaster of sending that out must not happen.

It has to end here.

Thanks to Hong Jin-seon’s participation, we were able to focus on the 10th episode.

‘But I can’t waste too much time.’

The power of the Tower of Purgatory is still unknown.

In particular, the flames of purgatory are more vicious and ferocious than the fires of hell. No matter how much the fires of hell are, they are still extremely dangerous.

I need to finish the 10th round as quickly as possible and help Hong Jin-seon.

-private residence

He flapped his wings and flew towards Era.

Her gaze, which had been pouring out lightning without touching the blood sea, approached Lee Ha-yul. Her blue eyes scanned Lee Ha-yul’s complexion and then looked down.

Daera’s expression became distorted with a murderous look. Anger seethed from her trembling lips.

“You, what’s wrong with your feet?”

The place where the gaze was directed was the right arm. The scar was still burning, and the flesh was left with a horrible scar as if it had been burnt to ashes.

The situation got worse than before. It was inevitable that the safety was released and Purgatory was in turmoil.

[It’s okay. You can recover later.]

Actually, I don’t know. Before, I used to wear a three-piece suit, but my right arm grew and fell off.

“No matter how much you recover, it’s not like that… !”

[I’m sorry, but I have to take care of that first.]

He spoke while shaking his right arm, which was gradually losing its feeling. Daera shut her mouth and looked away without saying anything.

The range is narrowed by pouring out fire and lightning, but the blood sea level continues to widen, and they are engaged in a power struggle.

The center of that bloody sea. There is a 10th round where he is in agony, clutching his head that was not broken by the attack just now.

“… Does that have anything to do with you?”

Daera’s gaze was fixed on the 10th’s face. A face covered in blood and distorted.

And, the face next to me is quite similar.

[Yes, it’s someone I’m related to. I need to solve it. So, private. Sorry, but I need help.]

Da-era shut her mouth tightly at the earnest voice piercing into her ears.

A priest whom I have known for no more than ten days.

Although it was a short time and I couldn’t hear the details, I could tell that Lee Ha-yool was a person with a lot of experience.

There is no time to listen to all those complicated stories right now. Daeraga chewed her lips and turned her head away.

“Whew… What should I do this time?”

[Please reduce the blood damage on the other side. I will go inside and finish it quickly.]

Daerah fired a lightning bolt without saying a word. Lee Ha-yul nodded at the stinging sensation on his skin and flapped his wings.

The rapidly accelerating body cut through the blood sea. Similar to before. The 10th time is a speed that is difficult to react to.

-Bam!

It was blocked. It’s not that I hit it but couldn’t break it. I didn’t reduce my strength.

The fist filled with fear was blocked by the bloody armor. Crack! The armor made of hardened blood split apart.

The 10th round is closer to specializing in big battles and big army battles, but it is not that there is no way to fight against people.

True Blood Expansion Ability

Bloody splatter

Gulp! The blood sea around him was absorbed by the 10th person. Some of it seeped in, increasing his physical abilities, and some of it covered his outer body, forming a thick armor.

“… You… ”

A cracked voice rang out from within the rough bloody helmet.

“… Really?”

Reason had returned to some degree. The glare in the helmet glared at Lee Ha-yool. It was not good news. As expected, he had to break his head in the attack just now.

Rather than thinking about that, Lee Ha-yool thought about the question of whether it was real.

Seriously. It’s a strange question, but it’s easy to understand if you think about who asked it.

[…yes]

Thud! Instead of an answer, a tooth was clenched inside the helmet. The armor, which had been melting with fear, trembled.

-Kwarrrr!

The blood flowed roughly as if expressing the emotions of the speaker.

Kkwaddeok! The thorns were everywhere. The ship was moving faster than before. It was too close to avoid. The cowardly fire that had read the omen burned the thorns.

I couldn’t burn it all. I blocked the thorns that were attacking me through the fire with my strong will and the feathers of my wings in the sky.

“Why, why…!”

An attack comes from the front. The thorn spear that was pulled out of the blood sea in the 10th round. The sharp blade flies in, aiming for the neck.

‘Close combat?’

Feeling a momentary sense of shame, Lee Ha-yul pulled out Jeong-hwa and swung it. The crystal ball flashed, and the stored white night formed a spear blade and a moon.

The golden blade that surged up cut the shaft of the thorn spear. Crunch! The face of the 10th round was distorted.

“Aaaa …

The 10th time, screaming, he ran in. The severed thorn spear and melted armor were immediately restored.

Bang! Jeong-hwa and the thorn spear collided. The result was similar. The thorn spear’s blade was crumpled.

I didn’t care at all about the 10th time.

He just raised his voice as if he was going to kill Lee Ha-yool and started swinging his sword at him, and even used his fists and kicks.

Although it was a gesture close to a fight, the aftermath was serious because the physical ability and skill were so outstanding.

The shock waves from each collision shook the whole place.

The ground split apart like a spider’s web, and the rocks swept away by the aftermath turned to dust.

“Why! Only you…!”

At the 10th voice, Lee Ha-yool’s face also became distorted. Although it was hidden by the helmet, the face inside was clearly visible.

Bang! Lee Ha-yool’s head turned violently as his fist landed. Jeong-hwa and the thorn spear were intertwined and he was thrown into the sea of blood.

“Only you! Why me…!”

My head is spinning. My throat feels like it’s going to burst. My heart is pounding from the sound that’s piercing my ears.

Lee Ppa-dak-ak-mun Lee Yul-ju threw his fist. Thorns sprouted from the armor of the 10th round.

Crunch! The fist smashed the thorn. The other thorn was blocked with the dragonfly’s fins and wing feathers.

I couldn’t stop it. It stabbed me all over my body. The stabbed areas instantly turned black and dead, and the dead blood melted my body.

Kwaang! The fist that broke the thorn and didn’t stop pierced the chest of the 10th person.

“Ouch!”

The armor was dented. The impact that pierced his chest made him spit out blood.

That’s not all.

Hwaruk! The 10th round of fire spread from the fist. The armor melted like chocolate, and the fire that pierced through the armor burned the flesh.

Blood seas everywhere? You can’t function properly due to the fire pouring down right in front of you and the lightning striking down incessantly.

“Keueueuuu… !”

A terrible pain came out of my chest. I instinctively reached out.

It is destroyed immediately. The attack scratches the empty air, and the fist that enters the gap pierces the chest.

Boom! My chest caves in and I’m pushed back. In the meantime, another fist strikes my chin and crushes my chest.

You have to step back.

The dizzyingly shaken reasoning gave one command. It is disadvantageous to fight at close range with a coward.

The opponent’s skills are already far superior to yours.

The 10th round of Janggi is not a one-on-one match or a close-quarters fight.

It controls the environment with the Blood Sea and pours out the blood-shaped poles from all directions.

Through repeated expressions like this, the blood sea is expanded.

In the swollen Shisanhae, the bloodless insects increase their forces and even if they attack even once, they kill the opponent who has become poisoned by the hemolytic blood.

Other expansion capabilities: Bloodline marrow, spine, bone explosion, iron blood type, bloodletting…

There are many means. You can just step back and apply pressure. If not, you can just get out of the way.

You just have to go out into the real world, not the fake one.

“Keep, aaa …

But he didn’t back down. He stepped forward, dragging his creaking body. Lee Ha-yool also stepped forward.

There was no reason to back down.

Lee Ha-yul had no leeway, and Lee Ha-yul did not want to back down.

“Me too!”

A brawl without any special countermeasures. The 10th round, which was being pushed back helplessly, gritted its teeth.

A person facing you right in front of your nose.

I could tell right away who it was. It felt like I was looking in a mirror.

Different at the same time. Not the same.

Black hair and white hair. Tall and short.

The incomplete fake and the complete real.

“If only I was real like you! I could do better, better…!”

An excuse came out that I didn’t know who it was directed at. Jealousy that couldn’t be hidden seeped out from the excuse.

“Me too…!Really…!”

If it was real, if there was a better environment, if a whole soul had settled in, if there was no perception that it was fake.

Much more…

“Huh.”

The fist that had been stretching out like crazy suddenly stopped. The strength that had been holding it together was released.

The body that had been moving with great effort for the 10th time collapsed.

This is a golden opportunity. In order to make up for my previous mistake, I must blow my head and body away now.

[… … ]

Yiha Yul hesitated. He couldn’t take action. His fist, which had been burnt black like in the past, trembled.

At that sight, the 10th time let out a hollow laugh. He shook his head, gasping for breath at the sensation of his lungs being stabbed.

“… That’s a lie. I don’t think I can do better.”

I am proud to say that I have grown a lot in the 10th round.

Previously, unlike most of the other rates, he did not live an honest life. Instead, he committed evil deeds.

If necessary, they even replaced people.

Isn’t it fake anyway? He used it for growth, making excuses that it would fall apart meaninglessly whether he killed it or not.

He grew up like that, fought against the Commander of the Tower, and died.

That fact was extremely frustrating.

Was it a regrettable fight? Are there any regrets? Was it a disadvantageous fight? If you had played better, could you have won?

“No… I don’t think I can win… ”

It doesn’t seem like I can win at all.

Even after doing that, I didn’t think I could win.

So I didn’t run away. I didn’t go to the real world that I had longed for.

The real thing, which I knew instinctively, was whether I could win.

Lee Ha-yul bit her lip after hearing the quiet muttering.

[…sorry]

“What are you sorry about… “

Blood filled the sight that was gradually turning black.

There, Lee Ha-yool’s face was reflected.

The burns are covered in blood, and the blood is seeping in, slowly losing its color.

“Sorry, I was being annoying. You got seriously hurt because of me, and you missed the incarnation of Top Ju.”

The 10th time he smiled bitterly, his hand flickered. The dragon blood that had entered Lee Ha-yool’s body lost its strength and disappeared.

“… Can I ask you one thing?”

A voice that was almost dying. Lee Ha-yul opened his mouth to say something, then nodded his head quietly.

[…yes…]

“What time is it now?“

[Still 200 years… I’m about to enter the second grade of Shiyoram]

“Ha, hahaha… crazy… “

The 10th time he laughed at that answer. Now, in the second year of the cradle class. It was an unbelievable answer.

“You, you… are different.”

After all, there is a difference between the fake and the real. It is a difference that cannot be denied.

The 10th time, I opened my lips.

There are many more things I want to ask.

So why was I a fake? Who created the fake world? How many more have there been since then?

“… It’s hard now.”

I didn’t ask. The 10th time, he shook his head and reached out his hand. The blood that had not yet disappeared was concentrated on his hand.

Although it was an action that could have resulted in an attack, Lee Ha-yool did not stop it.

Finally, all the blood gathered in the palm of his hand. The compressed blood became a bright red jewel.

When the 10th rounder held out the jewel with great difficulty, Lee Ha-yool accepted it cautiously.

“There’s not much I can do after reaching my ability. Please use that as you wish.”

[Thank you. I appreciate it.]

A trembling voice. It wasn’t something you would say to someone who had been trying to fix his death just a moment ago.

I couldn’t believe it was acting. The emotions expressed in the voice were so obvious.

‘The skills, potential, and personality are far better than those of a fake… No, that’s wrong.’

Even among the fake Lee Ha-yools, there were many with great character.

After the 8th, the 9th and 10th were particularly bad because they reached their limits.

That fact was really funny.

When I closed my eyes, I lost consciousness.

A similar feeling came over me as when I was killed by the Command Tower Lord.

But unlike then, it was comfortable even though it didn’t fit the topic.

***

-Gulp…

The body of the 10th person who quietly closed his eyes melted into black.

As even the black liquid on the floor disappeared, only straw dolls and fragments of artifacts that had become waste remained on the floor.

And the bloody jewel that remains in my hand.

‘… … ‘

I felt depressed. It was partly because of the injury, but the psychological reasons were much bigger.

Biting her lip, she carefully placed the straw doll on the floor into the subspace.

Observations conducted by the five towers. The purpose is to convey to me as much information as possible.

That’s it.

When making predictions to understand the typhoon’s path and damage, there is no consideration given to the damage to people implemented in the virtual world.

But it happened. There was a being in the virtual world who realized that he and the world were fake.

Who would have guessed that AI would be born in the virtual world and realize the truth?

In a case that really doesn’t make sense, something that was theoretically impossible, but there were victims.

2nd, 5th, 10th…

-Thump thump…

“Priest.”

As I was standing there blankly, I heard a noise. It was Erasajeo who had been greatly suppressing the blood sea.

“It’s over.”

[…yes]

When I replied while wiping my eyes, Erasajeo, who didn’t know what was going on, gently stroked my hair without saying anything.

My eyes were itchy for no reason as I saw his hands being careful not to touch the wound on his head.

Another sound was coming closer. It was the mermaid who was in charge of the tower of purgatory… no, it was Hong Jin-seon.

“Son-in-law, are you okay?”

“… Son-in-law?”

Hong Jin-seon, who had come near, frowned as he looked at the wounds all over my body, and Dae-era-sa-jeo blinked.

Hong Jin-seon shook his head as if he had no face.

“I’m sorry. I lost the parasite. I kept holding it, and it suddenly burst into flames and disappeared. ”

[sorrow]

[Yes… I noticed it too]

[You don’t have to feel sorry for me]

Hong Yeon-jun, the owner of the Purgatory Tower who was held captive by Hong Jin-seon, who was more powerful than expected, suddenly disappeared as if in flames.

I tried to block it with the power of space, but it didn’t work well.

‘Is that the power of the tower…?’

To be exact, it is not an individual power, but a common power that the tower possesses. Thanks to the observation that was unfolding, I was able to read it to some extent.

‘Still, it must have taken quite a bit of effort.’

It feels like the bowl inside was forcibly summoned to the tower, not close to the tower of purgatory.

It must have taken a lot of effort to get in, but it seems like he was able to struggle because he had that kind of insurance.

“Son-in-law, I don’t know where this is, but I think it would be best to get out of here.”

“Uh, uh… Yeah. That’s right, priest. If we keep going like this, monsters will come again.”

“… Priest?”

A look of doubt appeared on Hong Jin-seon’s face. Before the two of them could say anything to each other, I nodded and held the purification tablet.

-Sniff… Ugh…

[Yeah… I should probably go out soon]

He raised his sword. First, he casted a simple healing spell on the two people, and then the power of space that he had been preparing for a while was manifested.

I made a hole in the back wall.

It was impossible before, but now that we have the information behind it, it is possible.

The transfer location is… a little bit away from the entrance.

-Wooow…!

The power of space enveloped Erasa and Hong Jinseon. The two people floated up.

“Huh? Huh? What? Ah! Priest? What now─!”

“Son-in-law? What is this… ”

[I’ll follow you right away]

Two people looking this way with their eyes wide open. I struck down the purifier before the power could break through.

Tong! The power has been unleashed. The two new figures have disappeared.

“Hey! Priest─!”

The sound of Erasajeo’s voice also stopped as he was shouting something. He slowly straightened his shoulders that had been hunched at the sudden shout.

‘…I have to send it out anyway.’

From now on, we must induce a runaway from behind.

If two people are inside, they will be swept away by the monster and thrown out the entrance.

If that happens, it wouldn’t be so dangerous.

By the way, Daerasajer also tried to send it out before approaching the nuke.

Because it’s difficult to send it out through a hole near the nucleus.

He kicked the ground towards the back of his head and pushed magical power into his left arm to warm up.

-Wooow…!

The proof of Suho’s saving for this moment resonated loudly.
