Chapter 45 Tower of Cause and Effect (1)

Chimseong Palace where Zion left.

“It’s really too much!”

A high-pitched shout erupted from the office of Chimseong Palace.

Of course, the main character of that shout was Liu Sina.

“No, are you leaving me behind again? “And secretly?”

A witch who walks around the office with angry eyes and complains.

Yes, last time, Liu Sina had her own work to do and there wasn’t much progress, so she wasn’t that dissatisfied.

But now it was completely different.

“Do you think the owner did too much this time?”

Liu Sina asked, leaning in towards Thierry, who was quietly working next to him, as if he was already familiar with this situation.

“You didn’t take anyone, let alone Lina.”

“You took Tweet with you!”

“… … .”

Thierry remained silent without answering those words.

It wasn’t that I didn’t have anything to refute, but I felt like it would be useless no matter what I said if I felt a sense of competition not only with humans but with spirits as well.

“I’m sure you did it because you had a good intention, so please move on. In fact, wasn’t there a good reason for everything your Highness has done so far?”

At that time, Fredo, who had just entered the office, handed tea to her and Thierry and said in vain.

“He said he would let me kill more people than I could imagine… … The owner’s mind changed… … .”

After saying those words, she looked gloomy for a moment, but suddenly her eyes lit up again and she raised her head.

“Now that it’s like this, I have no choice but to do something that will kill a lot of people myself.”

“yes? What does that mean all of a sudden?”

A question appeared on Thierry’s face at that unknown muttering.

“The ones who attacked the owner last time. “Did you say there was one woman wearing a monk’s habit among them?”

She asks while facing Thierry.

“Yes that’s right.”

Thierry’s expression hardened slightly as he nodded.

Based on the information I heard from Sion and the 1st Prince, I figured out that the woman was one of the demons hiding in the imperial castle and was of quite high status, but I was having a hard time tracking down her location.

Almost all shadows were used to search the entire capital and other nearby cities, but no trace could be found, as if the entity itself had disappeared.

So, it was a very frustrating situation right now.

Liu Sina grinned and said to the leader of the shadows.

“For some reason, that girl seems like someone I know.”

“yes? “Is that true?”

“Okay, if I do well, I think I can find the location.”

A blood-red energy was suddenly swirling in the witch’s eyes as she answered Thierry’s question.

* * *

The morning slowly dawns.

“… … “It’s no joke.”

A tired voice came from the mouth of Raine Dranir, one of the Seven Girls of the North and the current hero’s companion.

In front of her, a tower rose above the clouds, with no end in sight.

A tower that boasts a grandeur that cannot be described simply as gigantic.

The identity of such a tower was the ‘Tower of Cause and Effect’, the largest dungeon on earth that had been created not long ago.

But it wasn’t the tower that got Layne’s eyes tired.

“You mean those guys are all our competitors?”

People endlessly gather around the tower.

So many people were giving her such feelings that it reminded her of a swarm of ants.

What was even more surprising was that all the people gathered were not ordinary people, but rather skilled people above a certain level.

And among them, there were many powerful people who were so famous that their names could be recognized just by looking at their faces.

Top-level dungeon explorers, platinum or higher level mercenaries, and adventurers who have explored the entire continent.

“Doesn’t it seem like it would be hard to get into this?”

When Lane looked around him and muttered,

“Tongue, it’s a blood sword!”

People around her began to murmur.

The person at the end of those people’s gaze was a cold-looking middle-aged man with a blood-red sword at his waist.

Immediately after, Raine discovered the man and saw Lee Chae as young.

‘Blood Sword Lee Woon-gang.’

He was a swordsman from Suinhae, one of the ‘Twelve Seas’, which refers to the strongest people just after the ‘Seven Heavens’.

Simply considering the field of swords, he is one of the top five figures in the entire empire.

Was the appearance of such a blood sword even a starting point?

“The Storm King is over there too!”

“Even the Steel Spirit on the other side!”

After that, other ‘twelve seas’ began to appear one after another.

As a result, the area around the tower becomes even more noisy as people express surprise.

“Is what’s in that tower that big?”

Lane looked at the ‘12 seas’ for a moment and muttered with questioning eyes.

“I didn’t expect them to move already.”

Strong people who can be considered the pinnacle of the entire empire.

Of course, the ‘Seven Heavens’ existed above them, but except for one or two, they were all heads of large organizations or had a high status comparable to that, so they could not move carelessly.

Therefore, it was no exaggeration to say that they were the strongest people who could currently move.

“So are you afraid?”

Turzan asked with a grin next to Raine.

He was one of the ‘Seven Heavens’, but since he rarely came out of the ‘Sky Mountain’, no one recognized him.

“No way.”

Lane smiles and responds to the giant.

In reality, there was no fear or embarrassment in her eyes.

“The tower will be opened soon.”

At that time, the silver-haired woman who was looking at the sky next to her opened her mouth.

Three days ago, the Tower of Cause and Effect was revealed, but that did not mean it was open all day.

The tower opens only for a few minutes at dawn.

Since it was a very short time, we needed to move quickly.

That was also why other people had gathered around the tower in advance.

“Did you fully understand the details of the trials I told you about?”

Then a question came out of the woman’s mouth,

“Of course.”

“I’ve memorized it, so you can stop asking.”

It was the moment when Turzan and Raine answered him.

Coo coo coo coo!

The ground began to tremble with a loud roar.

And slowly.

The huge stone gate that was firmly blocking the entrance to the tower began to rise upwards.

“It’s open!”

“Go inside!”

At the same time, people’s new forms were shot towards the tower.

Not everyone was moving.

Since nothing was known exactly about the tower, there was also a group of people who wanted to keep an eye on it a little more.

They were looking at the people heading to the tower with various thoughts in their eyes.

Tadadat!

Does it really live up to its name?

The strong men of the ‘Twelve Seas’ who instantly rush out in front of people and disappear into the tower.

Following them, other people also quickly begin to enter the dungeon.

“Then let’s see again later.”

There was no need to enter quickly, so the silver-haired woman near the end gave a brief greeting to Turzan and Raine and then pushed herself into the entrance.

“Don’t be late.”

Turzan’s new type that disappears immediately after the woman.

After that, it was the last time that Lane took a step into the tower filled with pitch-black darkness.

“… … uh?”

Lane’s eyes shook as he spotted someone.

A man was just entering the tower from the other end of the entrance from where she was.

‘Zion… … Harness?’

Jet-black hair and eyes, and a face with a unique indifference.

I knew it the moment I saw it.

Because I have never forgotten it until now.

The man she so desperately wanted to meet again.

The moment Rain unconsciously reaches out towards him, whoop!

The darkness of the tower completely engulfed her.

* * *

As soon as you enter the tower, darkness completely blocks your view.

How much time has passed since then?

Zion looked at the huge walls that were revealed beyond the slowly disappearing darkness.

‘Has it started?’

A line was drawn at the corner of Zion’s mouth at the beginning, which was exactly the same as the one described in the chronicle.

Fortunately, the changed future did not seem to affect the Tower of Cause and Effect.

at that time,

-You have entered the Tower of Cause and Effect.

A woman’s harsh voice sounded in Zion’s ears.

-You are a fourth-term challenger.

A voice without pitch.

Shion knew the identity of this voice.

‘Ordeal helper.’

It was a being that helped people who entered the Tower of Cause and Effect overcome their trials and focus only on moving up to the next floor.

A spirit that was artificially created rather than naturally born.

The reason these ‘trial helpers’ exist is simple.

‘Because the Tower of Causality has a different character from other dungeons.’

If a normal dungeon was created to protect treasures, the Tower of Influence was created to give treasures.

It was a dungeon with strange characteristics that could not be found anywhere else, but if you knew the origin of this place, you could naturally understand it.

‘A final means of support created by the gods and ancient dragons joining forces in preparation for the destruction of the world.’

The gods hoped more than anyone else that this world would not be destroyed.

Therefore, the Tower of Cause and Effect was created while seeking a way to help humans while reducing causality as much as possible.

If compensation was given in exchange for the ordeal, the consumption of causality could be reduced to that extent.

‘In other words, the more difficult the ordeal you overcome, the greater the reward.’

Even as Zion was gathering his thoughts, the voice of the ‘trial helper’ continued.

-There are trials on each floor within the tower, and each time you overcome the trials, points are awarded differently depending on your performance and contribution.

-Scores are accumulated, and the higher they are, the better rewards you can receive.

-The ordeal on the first floor is a maze of agony. Break through as quickly as possible to get a high score.

A very simple explanation.

“… … .”

Shion stared blankly at the huge maze in front of him.

This ordeal, called the ‘Maze of Agony’, was not that difficult as it was the first ordeal.

Just overcome the maze by dealing with the monsters that appear in between, and that’s it.

‘The question is how quickly we can break through.’

In the chronicle, the warrior figured out a kind of shortcut and was the first to break through the maze and get the highest score.

Although he knew the shortcut because he had read the chronicles, Zion had no intention of taking that path.

‘Because the hero will also take a shortcut.’

Sion was aware that a group of warriors had entered the Tower of Human Beings together with him.

If the hero had truly returned as Luminous said, not only she but also her companions would have known of the existence of the shortcut.

Therefore, even if we went, we could not gain a clear advantage.

“Plus, there’s a faster way, so there’s no need to go there.”

With those words, Shion stretched out one hand and lightly grabbed the air.

Sreuk-

Then, Eclaxia was held in those hands as if she had been waiting.

Sion, who looked at the Sword of Destruction Light that appeared in its complete form from the beginning, gently twisted the wrist holding the sword.

Kiiiiing!

At that moment, the darkness surrounding Eclaxia began to rotate around the sword body, absorbing all the surrounding energy and replacing it with darkness.

At the same time, as far as the Black Star is concerned, Eclaxia, which is more efficient than Agdvar, endlessly amplifies such darkness.

Sigh!

The sword body trembles due to repeated compression and amplification.

The trembling was closer to anticipation of the first sword strike with a complete body rather than a scream from not being able to withstand the force.

Feeling the tremors spread to his hands, Shion pulled Eclaxia backwards.

At the same time, two partial lunar eclipses occur naturally.

In fact, there was no faster path in this maze than the hero’s shortcut.

but,

“If it doesn’t exist, you can create it.”

The eyes of Zion are bent.

Did he sense something ominous?

-Please refrain from inappropriate behavior.

-Please refrain from inappropriate behavior.

Although the ordeal assistant’s voice continued to ring in Zion’s ears later.

It was already too late.

Eclaxia, who has finally completed another blade, slowly reaches forward.

Tuk.

The moment the tip of the sword of extinction light lightly touches the wall of the maze, blah blah blah!

A single black flash of light starting from the tip of the sword split all the walls in a straight line.
