“… “Has it been since the top 10 empires came together that Mr. Baek Do-hyun contacted Mr. Tyra?”
“It’s not exact, but I guess so.”
There will be an opportunity. The specific reason why Baek Do-hyeon started contacting the White Cloth Empire. After thinking back for a while, Sehyeon was able to remember Tyra’s voice.
[If you need my strength, please come to me anytime. I can help you and everyone else.]
What Tyra said. Those distrustful words may have been the catalyst. But those words were Tyra’s trap to find a victim. Everyone there knew this, especially Baek Do-hyun, who knew it deeply. It was because he and Se-hyeon had met her in person before.
However, if Baek Do-hyun really believed what he said and moved, there was only one thing that could have been predicted.
“Do-Hyeon Baek is enough to take Tira’s words… There is something I want to gain… ?”
“That’s it. And from what I can guess, I think what Baek Do-hyeon wants to gain is ability or skill. “Some means to increase one’s abilities.”
It was an unexpected problem. I couldn’t understand why Baek Do-hyun suddenly showed such an attitude at this point.
“I will go see the guide again. Afterimage again… “I think I’ll have to see it.”
I had to get a clue as to why Baek Do-hyun had such thoughts. Is the reason enough to turn everyone’s back and contact the White Cloak Empire?
“Mr. Fan, please keep an eye on Agasa in the meantime. “I need to know why Agatha is silent.”
“I guess so.”
The conversation ended just like that. As soon as Fan got up from his seat, Sehyeon also got up early and left the throne room. And along the way, we found Kwak Jeong-han, left the gatehouse together, and found the white space where Bill Will was.
“Dog, croak.”
“Mr. Sehyun. Mr. Owl is asking if he needs permission. Is this really okay?”
“are you okay. I relayed it to Ruhak through heroes. Since the two of us are going together, Ruhak will understand.”
Sehyeon said, reaching into the portal. The gaze was directed towards the gateway seen in the distance. If they were going to catch us, heroes and knights would have already come, but right now it was desolate with no sign of that.
In this case, it could be seen that Ruhak turned a blind eye to some extent.
Kwak Jeong-han and Owl seemed to have noticed this as well, and without saying a word, they began to follow Se-hyeon towards the portal.
Soon the three people stepped into a colorless and odorless space. As if he knew that Se-hyeon would come, Bill Will was floating there with her back behind her, her tailcoat fluttering.
All those many guides have now disappeared. Only Billwill was looking at Sehyeon with calm eyes.
[It seems like I see you quite often.]
“If anyone hears it, they will think that I came because I wanted to see it.”
[hmm… Then, why did you come to visit me?]
“Can I watch the 90th floor strategy video that I showed you last time again?”
Billwill paused for a moment, letting out nasal sounds. But soon her eyes changed as she saw something about her spinning in Sehyun’s fingertips. greedily.
[I’ll show you.]
What was spinning at Se-hyeon’s fingertips was the pocket watch that Kim Gap-jun and I had promised to give him last time. Sehyun slowly walked under the mirror, turning the watch on the silver chain.
Just-
The moment a cheerful sound rang in my ears, white light exploded from the surface of the tilted mirror. Sehyun narrowed her eyes and quietly waited for the light to fade.
[welcome. This is ‘Rubel’, the capital of the Western Empire, Behia.]
The world that I had already seen once began to be played back in the mirror as it was. Sehyeon looked at the people, not the events, as the situation quickly passed by. Their facial expressions, gestures, and even the smallest words.
Kwak Jeong-han and Owl also looked at the scene in the mirror with their heads raised in fascination. When they showed up, they were shocked.
It was not easy to find out people’s psychology between short cut scenes. There were many times when I had to guess. Still, unlike the first time, Sehyun was able to see a lot.
And when I caught a glimpse of Baek Do-hyun in the last video, the image in the mirror suddenly turned off with an explosion of light as if there had been a blackout.
And then came the silence.
[Do you need anything else?]
Until Bill Will’s words rang out in the distant silence, not only Se-hyeon, but also Kwak Jeong-han and Aul were frozen and did not open their mouths. Sehyun slowly lowered her head, which had been raised to the point of pain.
“… “No, there is none.”
A glimpse of Baek Do-hyun. He passed by so quickly that if you didn’t pay attention, you wouldn’t even know he was there, but he was captured at the last moment. It was only when I saw his face with all kinds of emotions mixed up that I understood why Baek Do-hyun made that choice.
There was astonishment in the empty, widened eyes. There was a feeling of emptiness, a mixture of impatience and anxiety.
Of course, it is impossible to tell a person’s entire feelings just by looking at their facial expressions. However, looking at where Baek Do-hyeon looked until the end, it was impossible to guess.
There were those at the end who made him doubt his abilities. The people Baek Do-hyeon was watching until the end were Kwak Jeong-han and Aul.
What Baek Do-hyun felt was the same feeling that Se-hyeon once felt. Anxiety about the far gap between us and others, and even a sense of inferiority.
[Then now watch… .]
“Let me ask you a few more questions about what happened, Mr. Billwill.”
[I think you just said you didn’t need anything?]
“Not if you don’t want to.”
[…] Let’s listen.]
Billwill swallowed his saliva as he watched the clock spinning in Sehyeon’s hand. Se-hyeon held the watch in his hand and asked Kwak Jeong-han.
“Jeonghan, may I use up the right to ask questions on your behalf?”
“Yes, it doesn’t matter.”
“Did you hear that, Mr. Billwill? Since I don’t have time, I’ll ask straight to the point. “If we attack the hundredth floor, I would like to ask how the barrier will be maintained.”
There were two endings that Sehyun thought of. One development where the barrier is lifted the moment one hundred floors are completed, and another development where a grace period occurs and remains for a certain period of time even after one hundred floors are conquered.
Of course, I wanted to have some free time if possible.
[Before answering, please note that a total of 1 question ticket will be used up.]
They said that just one answer wasn’t that difficult. Sehyun nodded his head leisurely as if he understood.
[Even if you reach the 100th floor, the barrier will have a grace period like the previous barrier. However, it won’t last long because the cracked barrier won’t last long. So even if we conquer a hundred floors, you will be given time to prepare for the end.]
“So, achieving all the achievements and reaching the hundredth floor are two different things?”
[Is that a question that exhausts the rest of your right to ask questions?]
When I wondered how to proceed, Bill Will understood it like a ghost and mentioned the right to ask questions. Sehyun thought for a moment, but eventually nodded her head with no choice.
Anyway, there were two more people in Sehyun’s empire who had the right to ask questions. Yoon Je-ha, Huey, and maybe even Lee Jae-young.
[The achievements given to road players are preparation for the last hundred floors and a kind of journey to produce just one qualified person. So, although someone must do it, it doesn’t have to be the majority. Of course, it doesn’t necessarily have to be just one person. We are just guiding you to achieve it.]
This means that in order to create just one person, many people were given achievements. Yes, the choice of the guides, including Billwill, may have been the right one.
If all the road players found out about this, there would be a virtual backlash situation. There was a high possibility that someone would do it, I was not from a high-ranking empire anyway, etc., so I tried to avoid the achievement.
In that case, growth could even be neglected.

“What happens if no one achieves the achievement until the hundredth floor is reached?”
[You will face him without the ‘Arm of the Goddess’, the only weapon that can kill ‘Beusbrihel’. On your planet, this is called a penalty.]
As expected, there was a penalty for not achieving the achievement.
[However, this planet has already qualified to reach the hundredth floor, so you don’t have to worry about that. After that, the indicators will vary depending on how much the road players who challenge the achievements have grown.]
Billwill already knew that Sehyeon had achieved his second achievement. All that remains is to reach the hundredth floor of the Tower of Trials.
If things continue this way, the person who will achieve this achievement will be Sehyun. If things continue like this.
“Mr. Bill Will.”
[Please speak.]
“Are you sure that the kings of the countless planets that passed through here died when it was reset?”
Bill Will definitely said this on the day of ‘final preparation’ when all road players were gathered together.
[The explanation was insufficient. Reset means death here. When the reset occurs, all road players will disappear here.】
To put it simply, it could be seen as death. However, the ‘death here’ that preceded it created a different crossroads. It gave rise to the hypothesis that people die here, but that may not be the case in the real world.
