How to Survive as a Player Chapter 225

#225

“If you change your mind, you can contact me. Of course, in that case, you will have to contact me on the premise that you will become my subordinate country.”

Sehyun looked past Theo and Hume, who were making blood-boiling noises, and looked at Tyra, who was sitting down as if she was drooping. Tyra closed her eyes bitterly with a vain look.

“… follow your heart. Anyway… everything… .”

As if predicting the end.

“… “Because it’s no use.”

Leaving behind Tyra’s words that remained like flames, Sehyun turned around. No matter what consequences Tyra’s ominous words would bring, many empires had already come a long way. It’s too late now to turn back. It was the same even now that Agatha was sent away.

Sehyeon put the recovered ring into the inventory slot where Baek Dohyun’s ring was. I hope there won’t be any more need to collect it.

***

After Agatha entered the tower to conquer the 92nd floor, Tyra calmly entered her empire and left. He blocked all visits and did not even receive a visit from Baek Do-hyeon.

No, exactly, it didn’t go from Baek Do-hyun’s side. From the day they learned that the Implementation Empire on the 92nd floor was a cavalry empire, all contact between Baek Do-hyeon and Tyra virtually ceased.

Thanks to this, Numan no longer had to get upset. Of course, a strange feeling remained. As to why he suddenly stopped visiting.

“What about the Protective Empire and the Iron Palace Empire?”

“They are also staying calm and disciplined. Since the airship was recovered in the first place, there is no means of transportation, and surveillance is tight to use the portal, so there is no way to go anywhere.”

“What about Baek Do-hyun?”

“Right now, only the tower is circling.”

Hearing Fan’s words, Sehyeon took a sip of the warm tea and drank it. It was so quiet that it felt ominous. For some reason, such anxiety followed me.

“… Mr. Fen.”

“Say it.”

“We are planning to call in the Celestial Race in the near future and give them shooting training. Since the Empire of the Celestial Races may be empty, I would like to ask Mr. Fenn to do some reconnaissance. No, but I keep looking somewhere… .”

Sehyun’s gaze glanced somewhere, and she followed his gaze and looked down at her hands. And he quietly closed his mouth. There were tooth marks and congestion on his wrists.

With a distant sigh, Sehyun lowered her sleeves to hide the tooth marks on her wrists. Fan’s sly smile was somewhat troublesome.

“When you say something nice, it would be better to forget it as soon as possible, Mr. Fen.”

“You’re acting like I said something.”

“Aren’t you doing it because you think you will?”

“Don’t you trust me too much? I’m not that curious about this either. “I don’t know if Lee Jae-young saw it.”

“So you saw it so blatantly?”

“I thought you wanted to see it because it was shown openly, but it wasn’t right? “Hmm, if that’s not the case, then it was rude.”

Sehyeon made a mixed expression at the sight of Fan smirking. Anyway, it was Sehyun who rolled up her sleeves because it was hot, so it was entirely Sehyun’s fault. For some reason, it seemed like Zenon was getting restless from a while ago.

“Anyway, please let me know if there are any changes regarding Baek Do-hyun or Tyra. I have to go around the tower from now on, so I’ll get up first. “Go and have some tea.”

“Can there be a guest in a place without an owner? “I’ll get up too.”

Eventually, they both got up side by side and left the reception room. Before going to the airway where the airship was docked, Fan looked back at Sehyeon as if to say a final goodbye.

“Don’t worry too much. No matter what happens, corresponding opportunities also arise. Agatha has a stronger heart than anyone I’ve ever seen. “If you believe and wait, there will be good news.”

Fan’s deep smile, seen through the fluttering wind, resembled Agatha’s. Sehyun also smiled and nodded.

It wasn’t a very nice smile. Even though he agreed to those words, Sehyeon couldn’t shake off the image of Tyra he saw while sending Agatha off.

The ominous feeling I felt that day, when her words remained like flames, was still vivid. Sehyeon watched Fan leave and tried to erase the events of that day in silence.

Suddenly, I saw dark clouds gathering in the sky on one side. Sehyeon, who was looking at the gloomy dark clouds, took a long time to move forward.

The raindrops falling on the floor had not even reached my feet. The rain immediately enveloped the world. At this time, she only thought of herself as a traveler taking a short break.

The rain, which was thought to be a brief shower, did not stop even after a day or two. These were moments when the ominous feeling that had been coming from time to time seemed to have become reality.

In fact, it wasn’t long after that that I realized the ominous nature of that day. When I realized the strange phenomenon of dark clouds that had been going on for several days, and when it had been exactly 15 days since Agatha entered the tower.

The anxious feeling that I had hoped would be a blessing in disguise came back as a disaster.

“Sehyeon… “They say it’s raining in all the villages of the Celestial Race.”

“yes… “I know because I heard it.”

Sehyeon stood at the window of the training center and looked out the window and answered. Standing next to him was Yu Si-woon, with a somewhat gloomy expression.

“It’s okay, right?”

“I think it might be due to the goddess’ contamination… “I’m not sure.”

The dark clouds that had spread throughout Elix were currently pouring rain across the entire empire. I couldn’t see the sun or a clear sky anywhere I went.

Sehyeon believed that this was a phenomenon resulting from the goddess being polluted.

“First of all, Yu Si-un will lead the Celestials and begin shooting training.”

“yes yes… !”

Yoo Si-un answered with a lot of spirit and ran straight into the training center. Already inside the training center, all the Lords of the Celestial Alliance were gathered to receive magic guns and learn how to operate them from Keppel.

Since the Celestials have high magical power, no weapon would be more helpful than a gun in a wartime situation. If they were to fight together at the end that Bilwill had mentioned, the Celestials themselves had to have the means to protect themselves.

“Huh, what are you thinking, are you so serious?”

A loud voice came out next to Sehyeon. Sehyeon’s gaze also turned downward accordingly. I don’t know when I arrived, but Kim Gap-jun was standing right next to me with his back to me. Unlike his grumpy expression, he looked worried.

“If you look closely, Kim Gap-jun, you really worry about me, don’t you?”

“It’s okay to worry about this. “The sky is gloomy, but I guess that’s because I’m so anxious to die.”

“I was a little busy these days.”

“Then get some rest.”

“You kept urging me to go to work every day, but what’s going on? “Have you become senile?”

“Draw. “I’m senile, are you okay?”

Kim Gap-Jun’s eyes turned to the gloomy sky. He also had a confused look on his face for a moment, as if he were also worried. However, he soon left his back and turned to where the Celestials were.

“The guy who doesn’t do that is saying that he doesn’t want to see everyone fidgeting because he’s worried, why? Anyway, you’re not about to die, so don’t make an ugly face or frown, just straighten up, you son of a bitch. Did you understand?”

“I’m not that ugly…” .”

“Should I go to the mirror?”

“… That’s Okay.”

Sehyun answered by rubbing her cheek for no reason. Kim Gap-jun looked Se-hyeon up and down, then snorted and headed towards where the Cheonin people were.

Just then, two large and small figures appeared at the end of the hallway. Sehyun lowered her hand from stroking her cheek and approached them.

They were Kwak Jeong-han and Aul, who were in charge of draining the rainwater that flooded the fortress empire into the lake. Judging from their drenched looks, it seemed like they had been working just a little while ago.

“Mr. Kwak Jeong-han, Mr. Aul. Thanks for your efforts. Are the heroes still out there?”

“Yes, the heroes are building a dam right now to prepare for flooding on the lake side. “We thought about helping, but we had no help because many of our vassals had already been mobilized.”

“You both have already done a lot, so don’t worry about it. Ah, I’m here at the right time. “We are going to test train the Celestials with magic guns, but since we don’t know what will happen, Mr. Kwak Jeong-han and Mr. Aul should also learn how to use them.”

Kwak Jeong-han and Owl’s eyes turned to the place Se-hyeon was pointing to. Many Celestials were sitting together and listening to Keppel teach them how to use the magic gun. Kwak Jeong-han and Owl, who blinked at this, belatedly nodded.

“Yes, I will.”

“Frog.”

“Then let’s go in together now.”

Sehyeon grabbed Owl’s clawed hand and held it in her hand. By then, the moisture on his body had disappeared without a trace. Sehyun then held out her empty hand to Kwak Jeonghan.

Kwak Jeong-han’s hand slowly approached and entered Se-hyeon’s hand. However, halfway through, Kwak Jeong-han stopped his hand and his body stiffened.

“Jeonghan… ?”

Kwak Jeong-han’s wide-open eyes quickly headed to an unknown location. His gaze was directed to the window where heavy rain was pouring down. My anxiety soared, perhaps because the wandering gaze conveyed some kind of commotion as if searching for something.

“Jeonghan, what’s going on… .”

Kwakwang-!!

A flash of lightning shook the world. Amidst the pouring rain, lightning split into dozens of pieces, covering all sounds and delivering a noise that tore the world apart.

Wonder and fear overwhelmed my entire body. The noise of the world seemed to be sucked into a lightning strike. My vision blinked and my body suddenly stiffened.

When a thud sounded like an earthquake somewhere, Sehyeon could see the letters spreading among the white flashes. The white letters gradually settled in my mind along with the sound of my breathing.

That was an unfamiliar phrase that I had never seen before since I came to Elix. It was a fact that should not have existed.

[The ranking of empires in the top 10 has changed.]

And the familiar letters and sounds that follow.

[You have successfully conquered the 92nd floor of the ‘Tower of Tests.’]
