How to Survive as a Player Chapter 231

#231

“Ah, what’s the 8th place guy doing? He hasn’t come back yet. Why do we have to come out and personally meet you? “He was a government official, very.”

“That’s right.”

“Hey, won’t it fall? “They’re talking to me about the 5th place topic.”

“Oops, sorry about that. “On the 5th place topic, I gave it to the 3rd place person.”

“Are you being sarcastic about that? uh? “I’m just being sarcastic, you mask bastard!”

Sehyun looked at Jaeyoung Lee growling at Lord Li Jeong of the Shadow Empire, then turned her head and looked back. Everyone was looking at Jaeyoung Lee and Jeong Lee with bitter smiles in a solemn atmosphere.

Still, I felt that the suffocating atmosphere was slightly relieved. Lee Jae-young and Lee Jeong did this to evoke the current heavy atmosphere. The silence that had lasted for hours was almost unbearable for Sehyun.

Currently, all players in the top 10, including Sehyun, were gathered on the 90th floor of the Tower of Tests. It was nothing else. Today, the 30th, everyone felt anxious about Baek Do-hyun’s attack situation, which was still dark news.

If Baek Do-hyun did not come before today passed, he would be buried along with his embodied world. After that, only the worst situation remained. The barrier will be broken, and players will be given two options.

Will it be reset, or will I fight ‘Beusbrihel’ like this?

From the guides’ point of view, there was a greater chance of choosing the latter option rather than reset. At this point, when the goddess’s contamination had reached its limit, it was difficult for her to see any hope for the next generation.

“Are you sure that the barrier will be broken if you don’t return within today?”

The person who asked the question in the unfamiliar air was Ryoma, the Lord of the Snow Lake Empire, who had moved up his ranking due to Agasa’s death and was ranked 10th in the empire. When he first encountered the implementation world’s strategy, his expression was darker than anyone else’s.

“Yes, I will. There are two options given to us: reset or continue fighting ‘Beusbrihel’ without the goddess’s weapon. Of course both… “It would be difficult to avoid death.”

Only the choices were different, but dying was the same. In that case, it was better to fight with even the slightest hope. Considering that I had been constantly running for it, I didn’t know that it would be better.

At Sehyeon’s words, the surroundings quickly became heavy. Everyone looked at the tightly closed iron gate of the Realm World in silence.

The huge iron gate, which had been softly lit by the sun, now took on a dull glow. It seemed like the last flame dying out.

“I have something to tell you for a moment.”

It was then that Baluk of the Magic Empire raised his head and revealed his red eyes. The speaking style that did not suit a young voice caught everyone’s attention.

“I should say that this is the answer I got from visiting the guides a few days ago. “It’s about the tower’s barrier.”

“What about the barrier?”

Baluk nodded at Sehyeon’s words and went straight to the main topic.

“I asked them if they could maintain the barrier with the power to reset it if this attack fails. And they gave this answer.”

Everyone swallowed their dry saliva and waited for Baluk to speak. Baluk answered slowly, rubbing his chin.

“It won’t take very long, but it will be possible.”

“Do you know how long that short period of time refers to?”

“They say you have to try it yourself to find out. But what is certain is that we can buy time.”

It’s not long, but it can be done. However, the period was ambiguous. If it was only for a day or two, I would have to increase it.

“But either way it won’t be a very good outcome. “We must hope that Baek Do-hyeon returns alive, but if not, we will have to prepare to oppose the enemy within that short period of time.”

Mock battles have already been fought dozens of times. Although preparations were not perfect, we had completed the minimum preparation for survival in our own way. However, if you don’t have the weapon to kill ‘Beusbrihel’, even if you hold out, you will be the one who is ultimately annihilated.

“… “If Baek Do-hyeon fails this time, we will have to deal with ‘Beusbryhel’ without weapons and under unfavorable conditions.”

“There is no choice, right? Well, I guess we should also accept it as fate.”

Yes, if such a situation really came as Baluk said, I might have to accept it as fate. It was better to do it that way so as not to blame each other.

There was no premise that anyone would back down. Everyone here was at least ready to fight.

“I’m sorry for interrupting you, but can I also say something?”

Everyone’s eyes were focused on the calm voice that awakened their thoughts. A faint smile appeared through the crisp air. The person standing there was Tyra.

“I’m not in a position to say this, but… Still, there’s no need to worry, right? So, everyone, why don’t you stop worrying and just relax for now?”

“The person who created this situation is very bold.”

“What did you just say?”

“Whoa, whoa. “Why don’t you lower your fist and talk?”

In response to Li Jeong’s sarcasm, Theo immediately raised his fist and gave a fiery gaze. Li Jeong was a person who greatly valued peace. If you look at her, she was always the one to break up the fight, not the one to start it.

The fact that he was so condescending meant that he, too, was not happy with the situation. For example, Li Zheng’s hand was now slowly moving towards the dagger he carried behind his waist. Sehyun, who saw this, sighed and tried to stop him.

“Then, how about you two fight, and let’s take care of other business?”

Tyra’s gaze, smiling brightly, passed Sehyeon and headed somewhere else. Judging from the location, it was a place with an iron gate. Se-hyeon was the only one who realized this, and some people, including Fan, were already quickly looking towards the iron gate.

There was light seeping through the silky crack in the door.

“I guess we have to meet Baek Do-hyun.”

It seemed like a wind was blowing from somewhere. The dry wind made me forget about the humid world. Sehyun blinked his eyes and turned towards the gaping door. He rushed towards everyone as if he was being devoured by enough light to fill the cavity.

The moment a flash of light passed across her cheek, Sehyun saw the letters tightly packed together among the brilliance. It was a sprout-like article. At first glance, it was like seeing a dark shadow in the distance.

But before I could even check, as usual, the world was filled with a terrible noise.

[You have successfully conquered the 93rd floor of the ‘Tower of Tests.’]

Kkkkkkk-!!

Everyone gritted their teeth and withstood the loud noise that crushed their bodies. He was different from before, when he was helplessly swayed and swayed. No one collapsed, no one stumbled. There were also those who persevered with their eyes open, saying they would overcome it.

When the long-lasting sound disappeared, Sehyun heard limping footsteps through the silence. The smell of blood was also coming from somewhere.

Sehyeon saw a black group standing in front of the iron gate where the light had disappeared. Baek Do-hyeon was at the front of the group. Standing while receiving support from Isis.

“Huh, huh… .”

The sound of heavy breathing could be clearly heard even though it was far away. There wasn’t even a clean place. Baek Do-hyeon’s one eye was black as if it had been scorched, and a foul odor emanated from his clothes with dried blood. The leg was broken, bent outward, and both limp hands were black as if they had been burned.

It was as if he had returned alive from the fiery pit of hell.

Baek Do-hyeon must have also had a potion that was traded with the Celestial Race. However, the fact that he suffered such serious injuries means that he was injured countless times, enough to use up all his potions.

It seemed brave that he came back alive. Traces of a terrible struggle were writhing all over his body. The vassals standing behind Baek Do-hyeon were also in the same situation. Even so, the best one among them was Isis, who looked like a sturdy man supporting Baek Do-hyeon.

Limping-

While everyone was silently following the traces of Baek Do-hyeon’s struggle, Baek Do-hyeon walked forward shakily, supported by Isis. The place he walked with difficulty was in front of Sehyeon and where everyone was standing.

“Isis, huh… “It is done.”

As soon as Isis, who closed her eyes with a bitter expression, let go of Baek Do-hyeon and stepped away, Baek Do-hyeon’s body collapsed. It almost looked like he was kneeling.

Sehyun moved her mouth without stopping and brought out her suppressed voice.

“… “What are you doing?”

“For you… . What I need to say… “Because.”

Baek Do-hyeon blinked and said, unable to focus, as if he couldn’t see clearly. I don’t know what he experienced after entering the tower. However, in Baek Do-hyeon’s face, Se-hyeon read the passage of time and regret.

Suddenly, I remembered what he said before leaving the tower.

‘Even if you don’t like it, I will definitely come back alive. at that time… I ask you and everyone’s forgiveness for my mistakes.’

He was now putting all his pride aside and asking for everyone’s forgiveness. Even though I knew that, my voice burst out coldly.

“Why, it looks like you’ve gained some great skills. “He left people so rotten inside.”

There were times when I felt more betrayed by being around him. There are times when someone else will agree, but there are also times when someone close to you cannot easily agree. Because it’s close, and because I trust it too much.

This was the case with Baek Do-hyun. Since he was a colleague who first came to Elix and grew up together through hardships and hardships, I hoped that he would do well, but I also resented his footsteps. Sehyun was also human, so he couldn’t help but feel that way.

“Mr. Baek Do-hyun. I guess I didn’t? What do I think is different? “It’s that feeling of having nothing to do but watching while everyone else is ahead. I know it better than anyone else and have experienced it more than anyone else.”

I understood Baek Do-hyun’s feelings a hundred times. What made Sehyeon sad was his choice to carry it all alone. Because he doesn’t seem to see anyone around him as a colleague.
