How to Survive as a Player Chapter 247

#247

The goddess gathered all the power to conquer the remaining towers and handed it over to the guides. Of course, this won’t be long either.

“… … .”

Still, he said he would handle it all. That included even matters decided by the goddess. So, this was also something everyone had to deal with.

Soon, one by one, they raised their heads and looked up at the guides. Some people looked at it with the feeling of wanting to run away, while others remained here, confident that it would not work.

Still, the eyes looking up at Billwill all contained the same thing. Her desire to live. The hope that she might survive.

Bilwill opened his mouth heavily as he faced that wish. It was the last ‘guidance’ delivered by the guides.

[From now on, our guides are going to explain to you about the ‘Final Door’ of ‘Tower of Tests’. This will be my last delivery. We hope that our guidance can be the right path for you.]

It was a moment when the faint smile felt sad. As if Se-hyun wasn’t the only one who felt that way, Lee Jae-young’s hand in her hand was shaking unlike other days.

It was the final road to the final gateway. As if they knew that, no one took their eyes off Billwill.

It was the final journey of those who were prepared to fight.

When Sehyeon opened his eyes, the surroundings had already become dark. The seat was soft, and it was quite warm as it had been there for quite some time. When he turned his body to the side, the moon was visible through the dark window.

The rain that drenched the world stopped. The bad weather that shook the world has now disappeared as the goddess who affected the ecosystem has fallen asleep. It was the freshest air I had seen and felt in a long time.

Suddenly, I felt my waist tightening. Only then did Sehyun realize that there were arms wrapped around her waist. A long hand swept over the white wings hanging over the bed as if stroking them. Sehyun’s gaze glanced back.

“… “Because I’m growing up.”

“It is done.”

The person behind Sehyeon, hugging her waist tightly, was Ruhak. Hot breath touched the back of his neck.

It was just a few hours ago. When I came out of the white space portal trembling after hearing the guides’ words, there were retainers in front of me waiting for Sehyeon without moving at all, just like when I left.

It was the same with Ruhak. Everyone hugged Sehyeon tightly, looking as if she was going to cry. Unfortunately, because it was a time when things were blurry before his eyes, Sehyeon was unable to properly accept the heroes.

In reality, Sehyeon had no memory of crossing the imperial gateway. He didn’t even notice when he lost his mind. The only thing he remembered was that when he opened his eyes again, he was washed clean and lying in bed with his heroes.

And only now, at night, did we have time to fully rely on each other.

“… “There are 3 months left.”

Sehyun whispered softly. Through my blinking eyes, the words I heard during the day came to mind.

[Thanks to Lusevia’s consideration, the current grace period for the barrier is 90 days. There is one thing you need to do. During these 90 days, build your strength.]

Since the news of the completion of the tower’s attack was generally conveyed to all vassals, all vassals, including Ruhak, would already know about it. In addition, you probably know about the ‘last door’.

“I wonder if I can… .”

As soon as I finished speaking, the back of my neck was clamped down. Her fingertips stiffened and her shoulders trembled. As I reflexively reached out to the back of his neck, my vision flipped over. When I realized, there was a dark shadow over Sehyeon’s body.

Eyes of different colors looked down at Sehyeon lazily.

“All the vassals have been fighting to the death and increasing their strength just for that day, but it is because you have denied their will to risk death.”

“Then you are.”

Sehyun stretched out her hand and caressed Ruhak’s cheek. Ruhak twisted his head and kissed the palm deeply.

“You can’t be resurrected.”

“I will not die.”

“That’s it, ugh… .”

The inside of my wrist felt numb. Ruhak, who left the teeth marks, sucked the flesh little by little and moved up to find Sehyun’s lips. Then he pushed his lower lip in and kissed him deeply.

Their shoulders bumped into each other, and their chests touched. Maybe that’s why I felt more out of breath. Even though I gasped and turned my head, the persistent kiss continued several times.

“Ha, ha… .”

A sigh like a sigh escaped. In my blurred vision, I saw glimmering black wings. Sensing the feeling of scratching the inside of his neck, Sehyun raised his fingertips and scratched Ruhak’s back. Black wings were folded over the twitching white wings.

“I’m not going to do it today…” “Don’t worry.”

Ruhak whispered softly, pressing his lips so close that the sound of his heavy breathing touched him. As he said, unlike other days, the black wings slowly rubbed the outside of Sehyun’s wings as if stroking them.

The sensation of touching and rubbing gently evoked stimulation, as if pressing and rubbing a delicate part of the hand.

“for a moment… . Weird… .”

Even though I was just gently pressing and rubbing, my fingertips were shaking and my whole body was twitching in pain from the stimulation I couldn’t reach. Every time he did that, his tongue, which parted her lips, rubbed the tip of her tongue until it hurt and tangled with her flesh.

Amidst the languid rubbing, firm fingertips dug in and gently grazed the roots of the feathers. It was just a tantalizing stimulus that made the inside of my throat itch.

Later, every time my wings rubbed against each other, I felt drowsy and had to close my eyes. Even her fingertips felt tingly. Meanwhile, fatigue came to raise her head.

“… Nell… .”

While dozing off, Sehyun called that name non-stop. Every time his name was called, Ruhak lazily licked and sucked the back of Sehyun’s neck. For a moment, Sehyun’s hand fell onto the bed, unable to overcome the fatigue.

Ruhak also sat down and laid down, listening to the sound of heavy breathing. As I caressed the drooping white wings for a long time, a deep sense of peace came.

It was an unusually quiet night. A space without any noise brought about a deep sleep. Intoxicated by that comfort, Ruhak also hugged the slender waist in his arms and closed his eyes little by little.

***

When Sehyeon walked into the throne room, all of the top 10 imperial lords were already seated in one place. Everyone seemed to welcome Sehyun’s appearance, except for Theo, who opened his eyes as soon as he saw Sehyun, who showed up late.

“You’re finally here.”

“Yes, it’s a little late.”

“Well, if the guests agree, there’s no other way.”

Sehyeon answered by nodding his head at Fan, who was smiling while resting his chin, and sat down in the empty seat. Behind Sehyun, Ruhak, who had entered the throne room together, stopped one step behind.

Not only Ruhak, but the princes of all empires were currently standing behind their Lord with a loss of momentum. The only person here without an archduke was Tyra. Behind Tyra, a counselor in place of the Grand Duke was seated with a solemn expression.

It had already been three days since I heard the last ‘guidance’ from Bill Will. That was why we gathered today. To discuss the future.

“Have you all recovered from your travel fatigue?”

“Is there much to say about the late arrival?”

“Ah, why is that shield bastard so cocky? Hey, you came later than me too.”

“Haha, wouldn’t you get the answer if you look at how cheerful everyone is?”

Theo, Lee Jae-young, and Ri-jeong opened their mouths and responded to Se-hyeon’s words one by one. After a quick inspection, it seemed like everyone had a good complexion and had recovered without any problems. Fan was now sitting in front of the round table with healthy arms and legs.

“Is there any time left? “Why don’t we start the meeting quickly?”

Only after Baek Do-hyun, who was worse off, spoke bitterly, everyone fell silent with a shocked expression on their faces. Only then did Sehyun put what he brought in the center of the table.

It was a video recorder.

“As I mentioned before, the video of today’s meeting will be sent to the entire empire as soon as possible. If you have any objections, please tell us now. If not, we will assume that everyone has agreed and proceed.”

There was no word of objection. Seeing this, Sehyun clicked on the protruding groove in the center of the recorder. Everything that will be said from now on is directly related to the authority and post office of the top 10 empires. No one will say nonsense.

The meeting was led by Fan, who has played the most central role in the federation.

“As of yesterday, a total of 278 empires have agreed to join the Choun Alliance. And three days ago, we received ‘final guidance’ from the guides. There are only three months left in Elix. “If you have any opinions on how to achieve efficient growth during that period, please let me know.”

The barrier was restored every time a new floor was conquered. This means that power is supplied to the tower upon completion of the strategy.

And if all goes according to plan, the remaining barrier time until the 99th floor was six months, no matter how short it was. Of course, this was limited to one month per floor.

“If you successfully conquered the tower starting from the 94th floor, you would have about 6 months left in Elix, right? However, I think many empires will be curious as to why the period was reduced to 3 months. Or is it just me?”

Li Jeong added a word while gently scratching the top of the mask, as if scratching her cheek. As he said, the only ones who were fully aware of what was currently happening in Elix were the empires gathered here. And even people like Numan and Yu Si-un.

Li Jeong was referring to the transparent disclosure of the circumstances and circumstances in which this incident occurred.
