“… Why are you giving this to me?”
The transferor who received the witch’s mark I threw asked with a confused face.
It must have been embarrassing for him.
I thought he was going to eliminate me without any room for negotiation, but then he suddenly handed over the tokens we had to him.
He probably doesn’t know what I’m up to.
‘It’s true that I want to eliminate you. But I want you to be eliminated in the way I want.’
I said it with half-honest sincerity.
“I think it would be good if you changed your role to a witch.”
“… If I destroy this, the test will end right away?”
The guy said such things cheekily and held the witch’s mark tightly in his hand.
It’s hard to believe that an ordinary teleporter who’s barely made it to the third floor could destroy a metal token with just his brute force, but it was a pretty cute threat.
He thought that if he destroyed the sign, the witches among us would be eliminated.
I spoke to him in a mocking voice.
“Oh, that’s right. But even after the exam is over, you’ll be the only one to fail.”
“… Nonsense!”
The guy who denied what I said shouted at Kim Jae-yoon and Scarlett who were behind me.
“Hey! Only one person can win as a witch anyway! If this guy promised something, it was a lie! You guys are the villagers, right? Then let’s join hands and pass the test!”
‘Did you think I was a witch?’
“… … .”
“… Foot.”
Of course, Kim Jae-yoon didn’t even blink an eye, and Scarlett instead burst into a small laugh.
Still, it must have been a desperate suggestion from his perspective, so why did he laugh? Scarlett’s sensibility was also a bit unique.
Anyway, I never thought that the group would be swayed by such words.
“Not a bad try. If it had been another party instead of us.”
“… … ?”
He looked puzzled by my attitude of not being particularly angry even though I said something that incited the betrayal of my colleagues.
Without saying anything else, I took the Pyrotechnic Gauntlets out of my inventory and equipped them on my hands.
The guy who suddenly saw me wearing the strange gauntlet was startled, but I ignored him and reached out to him.
Thud!
“What the…!”
A translucent hand created in the air by the pyrokinesis gauntlet grabbed the hem of his clothes and ripped it off.
I brought the hand towards me and stretched it out.
Inside, not only was there the torn cloth, but also the priestly symbol that the guy had been carrying.
I said, flicking the sign with my finger.
“The priest’s mark is in my hand, and now all you have is the witch’s mark. The witch means you. If we can eliminate you, we can all pass the test together.”
“!”
I don’t know if he didn’t know there was such a rule, or if he was surprised to see me using a psychokinesis gauntlet, but his eyes widened when he heard my explanation.
He gritted his teeth as he looked at my group one by one with shaking eyes, unable to continue speaking for a while.
“Profit…! Then I’ll take at least one person with me!”
“This… ”
He held the witch’s mark in his hand and held it out towards me.
A witch’s technique, using a curse that can eliminate the target.
Ss …
A black aura appeared from the sign he was holding and flew towards me.
The energy, which looked like a snake, wrapped around my body for a moment and then disappeared.
Just in case, I took out the token and found that it was stained black.
As far as I know, after a few minutes in this state, the marks will just scatter like sand and you will fail the test.
This is precisely why the top test was difficult.
If you’re going to be eliminated anyway, you can just drop out, but there are too many people who insist on holding onto other people’s ankles and falling together.
This is how it is in tests that don’t immediately put one’s life on the line, so how much more of a mess would it be if there were a test where the loser would die in a competition?
It’s true that if you succeed in climbing the tower, you’ll become incomparably stronger than before, but looking at this, it’s clear that whoever created this system was truly evil.
I gave Scarlett the priesthood token I was holding and said:
“Scarlett. Please lift the curse.”
“Yes… !”
So this time, she changed her career to become a priest.
As she held up her clerical symbol and held it out to me, a white aura enveloped me that seemed at first glance to be the opposite of a witch’s curse.
The villager’s token I was holding also returned to its original color.
The guy who was trying to drop out with me in the water ghost operation opened his mouth and made a stupid expression when he saw that.
Before I could come to my senses and start freaking out, I fired my Tanjikong and pierced the witch’s mark he was holding.
puck!
“Oops!”
He, who had been blankly staring at me, came to his senses when a hole was made in the token he was holding.
But it was already too late to back down since the elimination had been decided.
A portal for those who drop out has already been created beneath his feet.
“Let’s see…! My name is Norton! Next time we meet, I’ll definitely tell you about this…!”
“Oh, bye.”
He revealed his name as Norton, but before he could finish his sentence, he fell through the completed portal and disappeared.
After the situation was over, Kim Jae-yoon and Scarlett, who had been taking a step back, came up to me.
“Why did you reveal your name? You must have a strong sense of pride.”
“It’s still a green transfer.”
With just a little experience, you will realize that there is no need to create resentment and continue hostility in other areas, but the guy named Norton who just disappeared did not seem to have that level of cool-headed judgment yet.
Scarlett asked cautiously.
“Now… is the test over…?”
“Oh, the notification will pop up soon.”
Sure enough, as soon as I finished speaking, a notification from the tower appeared in my sight.
“The test on the third floor has ended.”
“Enter the portal for your reward.”
“The portal will disappear in exactly one hour.”
“Anyone who fails to enter before the portal disappears will be automatically disqualified.”
「01:00:00.」
Our group’s roles were villagers, astrologers, and priests.
Since the astrologer and the priest also had roles within the scope of the villagers, the villagers ended up winning.
The portal that was created when the test ended was different from that of those who failed, and instead of appearing right under our feet, it appeared directly in front of us.
“Let’s enter the portal and talk. We’ll meet again at the clan house.”
“Okay.”
“Yes.”
Since there was nothing more to do while staying here, I hurried the group through the portal.
Then, just like when I passed the test on the second floor, a completely white space greeted me.
It was a kind of waiting room where compensation was settled.
“I passed the test on the third floor.”
“Result – The townspeople succeeded in their witch hunt.”
“Lee Min-ho, Kim Jae-yoon, and Scarlett Ruth achieved great feats on the 3rd floor.”
“The feats achieved are ‘All Survival’, ‘Doppelganger’, ‘Famous Detective’, ‘Bianken Master’, and ‘Grim Reaper’.”
The feats that came up in the notification were the same for all of our clan members who took the test, except for the ‘Reaper’.
In light of the experience on the test floor, the level of achievement could vary depending on the contribution.
But this time, Kim Jae-yoon made good use of the astrologer’s abilities, and Scarlett also played various roles, so the feat seemed to be applied similarly.
In the case of the survival of all, it wasn’t that strange. It was a feat that was supposed to be included, since no one, including NPCs, died and passed the test.
The Doppelganger achievement probably came about because I used [Mirage Mirror] to double what was originally supposed to be just one role.
The famous detective felt like a feat of figuring out the role of all the transference agents.
The transformation of Byeon Geum Dae Sa seems to have been a feat thanks to Scarlett, and it seems that he achieved it by changing roles more than twice. Of course, it wouldn’t have been common for one to change factions so often.
‘I think the death was achieved because I eliminated more than half of the 7 transferees.’
Of course, all these achievements were acknowledged because he passed the test with an overwhelming speed that was incomparable to others.
Since on the 3rd floor, each role’s ability is limited to being used once a day, other transfers would have taken several days to complete the test.
‘There may be cases where all 10 people taking the test on the 3rd floor enter after reaching an agreement…’
Well, I don’t think the tower would be that easy.
In that case, the feat would not apply.
I also checked the test passing rewards excluding feats.
