episode_0422

A week at the Tower of Growth.

It’s not a long time.

Considering my growth rate and the protection of amplified growth, it feels different, but it is still a short period of time.

Because of that, I was able to learn during that limited time.

The unique ability of the 8th round is Shin-Gung and Cheon-Rae.

Among them, the operation and experience of Cheonryo.

‘Shingung is an important ability, but Cheonryo is more important right now.’

Although the Shin-Gung has reached an incredible level of ability, he was confident that he would be able to do it on his own.

Thunderbolt is a little different.

You can train and refine Cheonryodo alone, but it will take much longer than Shin-gung.

However, since the time was greatly reduced for the 8th help, the help needed was for the thunderbolt part.

There was another reason.

“There’s another thunderbolt emitter?”

[Yes, someone called Daerasajeo… appeared. Strictly speaking, it is an imitation of Daerasajeo’s thunderbolt.]

Daerasajer. Unlike the copycat me, the real manifester of the thunderbolt.

The 8th person opened his eyes wide when he heard the news. The brain he had been rolling around in his hand crackled.

[I can learn about thunder here, and I can teach it to you too.]

“Private? No, but rather, someone else manifested the thunderbolt… I didn’t think of that.”

[Isn’t it impossible?]

“It’s not impossible.”

As I tilted my head, the 8th round nodded.

“As you know, my lightning is not self-generated.”

[I heard that you had help from the artifact]

“Ugh. The artifact from the dungeon helped a lot. I think the name was Purity Punishment? At the time, there was also the fact that magic power was a thunderbolt, but without the artifact, I wouldn’t have been able to get Thunderbolt. ”

The 8th round, which created a thunderbolt on the palm of one’s hand, shrugged.

“That person also managed to obtain a precious artifact.”

[That… I don’t know]

“What? If the creator doesn’t know, who will?”

I had no answer to the 8th question that came with a bewildered look on my face.

How would I know that the person was acting in a state close to mental weakness?

“This happened in the second year? You’re really crazy… You blew it up? You crawled in yourself? Again? ”

[Ageuk]

[Don’t hit me…]

There was a brief moment of violence during the explanation.

After covering Jeongsu-ri and stepping back, the 8th round, who clicked his tongue slightly, was left alone in thought.

“If it’s on the other side… it might be possible.”

[Because the back side expands and swallows up dungeons. Among the swallowed dungeons, there is an artifact that gives thunderbolt… I am thinking that there might have been a natural punishment.]

The 8th round of subscription opened after shaking off the lightning that was rolling by hand.

It was a sudden remark, but I nodded while rubbing the back of my head.

The backlash has been stopped, but the loophole that leads to it still remains.

Because of this, the area around the hole has come under the jurisdiction of the association, and some of the association’s defense forces and punitive forces are stationed there and are under strict control.

Of course, as the representative of the association, I can come and go as I please.

“There’s no other way. It’s just luck.”

[… That’s true]

He bit his lip with a strange expression on his face in response to the 8th question.

It’s not a good idea to arbitrarily comment on other people’s misfortunes, but objectively speaking, it is fate.

When the Daerasajerga fell behind.

If there had been even one monster nearby, I would have died on the spot.

If I had encountered a monster that was good at tracking or a high-ranking monster that I couldn’t handle, I would have died.

If I hadn’t miraculously unleashed the thunderbolt, I would have eventually died from lack of strength.

… No, if it was fate, I wouldn’t have gotten involved in such an incident.

I think it would be more appropriate to say, “Blessed is not a stroke of luck.”

“… Isn’t it just a stroke of luck?”

[yes?]

The 8th person who denied my statement as if he had the same thought as me pointed next to me.

Next to me were the purification and beacon swords that I had just used.

“Looking at those, they seem to be the type that hides users.”

[yes that’s right]

“You know too. Among the artifacts that are high-level or have a sense of pride, there are many that have difficult personalities.“

Of course not.

He nodded while thinking of the proof of protection stored inside his body, aside from the purification and beacon swords.

Proof of Guardianship is a representative artifact that identifies the user.

… I wonder if that standard is still appropriate, but if the conditions are different, it is often rejected.

“Even if you get a good artifact by luck, there are many cases where you get rejected. So you can’t just say it’s luck.”

[yes that’s right]

[affirmation]

That’s right. The 8th round nodded and let out a sly laugh.

“Yeah, yeah. It wasn’t just luck, so relax, kid.”

[yes?]

“When I told him that he was lucky, he made a face like he was grumbling and said, “What the heck?” ”

[I didn’t really make that kind of expression]

“Hey, I just saw the scene with the power of knowledge.”

[…Emotions are not something that can be objectively distinguished]

“Look at her tongue growing longer as soon as she pays. You petty bitch.”

[It’s not a year]

[And my tongue didn’t move… ewebebebeb]

-Ugh, Ubbeob…!

He flapped his arms and legs like a chicken as he tried to open his mouth.

Eventually, I was able to get released only after receiving a few bottles of food and drinks from the space.

Today, too, we were robbed of supplies.

As he lay on the floor, gasping for breath, the 8th round absentmindedly opened the package and put the cooked food into his mouth.

-Muck, muck…

One bite, two bites… The more his mouth moved, the more mysterious the 8th round’s expression became.

“… Is it because of the unique ability of the all-rounder? The cooking skills are also amazing. ”

[That’s because I raised it like a mountain]

[And there’s no point in praising them]

He hugged Jeong-hwa and Bong-hwa-geom, who were poking out their lips and wandering around, like pillows.

A short break. I spent the time reviewing the sparring session from just now.

‘Oh, right. I should say that too.’

I tried to send it.

As I thought about the other side, a thunderbolt suddenly struck my head.

I sat up straight. The 8th person who was eating the bulgogi rice bowl blinked.

“Hmm? What? Little Mother Shia. I ate that… ”

[It’s a tower. There was a tower inside.]

“What the fuck─big, slap! slap! slap! ”

[Eeeeek]

[Do not fry]

[Here’s something…]

.

.

.

“Why are you telling me that today?”

[I had so much to say… it got pushed back…]

“… That’s true. It’s not like it’s an onion, but the story keeps coming up… Oh my. ”

The 8th round of drinking two bottles of water let out a sigh.

“What’s inside this tower? Is its attribute the wind?”

[Yes, I haven’t gone in, but I felt the wind attribute both in sensing and observing.]

“The wind… ”

The 8th round crossed their arms and narrowed their eyebrows.

I also adjusted my posture and sat down quietly.

If we meet for the 8th time, this is something I definitely want to discuss.

“The tower I went to was convenient because it had a brain attribute. It was convenient to use because the attributes were the same.”

The 8th time, I experienced the tower in the African Magic. It wasn’t just the entrance that I ate, but I was the one who was about to conquer it.

“Then there are five types of attributes? The cold-attribute tower in Purgatory. And the thunder-attribute tower in the Demon Realm… and the wind-attribute tower behind it. ”

The 8th round of folding the five fingers in order tilted the head.

“But the two behind didn’t have tower owners. If I had attacked… would I have become a tower owner?”

[Oh, that’s a bit different]

I explained what I heard from Ariel and Sierra.

Rights and obligations of the tower. Qualifications to become a tower owner…

“If you don’t have the qualifications, the tower will give you the right to make a wish, and if you meet the qualifications, you become the tower owner?”

[Yes, that’s the type. They also said it’s similar to artifacts.]

“The 11th time I conquered the Brain Attribute Tower, but I received a wish. The 11th time I wasn’t qualified?”

[yes]

“Qualifications… ”

The face of the 8th person who heard the explanation became strange. The 8th person, who was deep in thought, kept his mouth shut for a while.

“… That damn tower of cold. You acted a little strange at the end, didn’t you? ”

When I put it on, I tilted my head 8 times.

“As you know, he’s a slacker who stays behind and causes trouble for the environment, not a guy on the front lines.”

[Yes, I know]

“But then suddenly he went crazy and started pushing inside.”

The 8th episode that still makes me click my tongue and say it’s ridiculous even when I think about it now.

“That’s why I had to go back right before conquering the tower. I was tempted to conquer the tower, but what good would it do if the world were to end in the meantime?”

[… Right]

“What’s next…well, it’s just as you know.”

The 8th time he died.

“Why did that damn bastard do that? If he wasn’t careful, he could’ve been surrounded and lost in the interior.”

The 8th round nodded.

“Were you confident that you would return alive? Did you not care about your life in this fake world? But why did it happen on my turn, while I was conquering the tower?”

[that…]

Several thoughts came to my mind.

“Was I qualified?”

As I hesitated because I wasn’t sure, the 8th person opened his mouth instead.

“Did the cold come in here to stop me from becoming the top owner?”

[I think similarly… but I’m not sure]

“Why bother? Even if I become the top shareholder, it’s still a fake world anyway… ”

A question that I never had time to ponder in my lifetime. The 8th time, I kept asking the same question.

“Ha, what are you worrying about when you’re already dead?”

In the end, it’s just an unknown question for now. After muttering for a while, the 8th round ruffled its hair and stood up.

“I’m done with it because I’m thinking about it. Let’s finish it. There are only a few hours left. ”

[… … ]

“Why again? What are you complaining about that expression on your face?”

[I’m not complaining…]

I pouted my lips at the gaze looking down at me.

2nd time.

We didn’t get to talk. We argued for a whole week, and I finally heard an apology.

5th time.

We fought for a while and then talked, but we couldn’t draw.

10th time.

They fought as if they were going to kill each other, but at the end they exchanged a few words and it ended.

On the other hand, how was the 8th time?

We spent a week talking, exchanging opinions, sparring, stealing meals, and talking about miscellaneous things…

It means that we have our own kind of connection.

But since he said he was going to break up soon… I just felt depressed.

[I just feel a little bit…]

[Depression]

[Depressed]

[Gloomy…]

-Click, click, click…

The necklace clicked on its own. The 8th round’s expression became dull.

“… Did I have this many feelings? No, I didn’t, so this isn’t my body, it’s my soul… It’s your problem.”

The 8th round, which made me laugh out loud, hit my head with a bow.

But when his pouty lips didn’t go in, the 8th round shrugged.

“I’m already finished. I never existed in the first place. The only reason I’m connected is thanks to the trick called the tower, so don’t be too foolish.”

[I know that too…]

But how can emotions always be what you want them to be? Even though I didn’t mean to, my expression suddenly sank.

“… Isn’t that it? Me too. The Lee Ha-yools who were fake had clear limits. ”

The 8th person, who had been scratching the back of his head with an embarrassed expression, suddenly opened his mouth.

“Our bodies were fine, but our souls were mediocre. While others were whole, we were barely a seed that had bloomed. Naturally, the limits had to be clearly drawn.”

[…yes]

“But you are different.”

As I raised my head, the 8th round shrugged and continued speaking.

“You’re fine. Of course, the situation is a bit shit because of the curse and all… But if you just solve that, there won’t be a problem, and even in that state, the limit is so far away that it’s invisible.”

-chin

The 8th person, who had placed his hand on my head, opened his mouth in a serious tone.

“You’ll win. Of course. Hey, think about your abilities. If you use them all for imitation, you’ll end up being unique. You’ve received power and support from the top lords. Even if you want to lose, you can’t lose. Got it? ”

[…yes]

I nodded, listening quietly.

The anxiety that had been in my heavy heart has subsided a little.

It was said that this was what the person who had a fierce fight with the commander and the tower lord said.

The 8th time I laughed, my hair was roughly torn apart.

“If you know, get up, you punk. Are you just going to play for the last few hours?”

[Eeee]

After my head became like a magpie’s nest, I got up and picked up the bow that the 8th round had placed next to me.

“Okay, get up. This time, it’s a duel format. Don’t release your pain protection. I’m going to hit you for real. ”

The 8th round, with a firm grip, drew the bow. Whoosh! The thunderbolt struck by the arrow made a thunderous sound.

I grabbed the bow I took out of the subspace and tried to face it, but I bit my lips for a moment.

I learned a lot from the 8th time.

Shingung and Cheonryeo. Other experiences or techniques that I have personally experienced…

He gave me everything he could without holding back.

He sniffled slightly and nodded.

[…Thank you─]

-Whoosh!

[Ugh!]

The bow that was swung in a hurry blocked the arrow. Boom! The thunderbolt exploded. The tingling body flew backwards and rolled on the ground.

“You started, why are you bowing your head?”

[profit…]

I spat out the stone in my mouth and got up. Crap! The smoothly condensed lightning struck the arrow.

“Hey, hey, wait a minute. You’re saying the casting speed is faster? ”

[Cheonjeonilseom]

“Fuck!”

A thunderbolt flashed. Boom! The mountaintop that had been flashing crashed down.
