592. Episode 592
Srrrr-
The flames of the sacred fire that had formed the gatekeeper’s body scattered, and something like ash flew around.
Just in case, Se-Woon raised his right hand, and a crimson light flowed out from the stigmata, absorbing all the ash in all directions.
– Krrrr… … .
Then, it seemed as if Ruin’s crying could be heard for the first time in a long time.
It seems that Se-Woon’s idea of knocking down the gatekeeper was correct.
As soon as I absorbed the ash, I felt the divinity of the stigmata increase even more.
– The constellation, ‘The Hungry Prince’ is surprised that he can eat that too.
– The constellation, ‘The Hungry Prince’, says that he would have interfered too if he had known it would happen, but he is licking his lips and saying it is a pity.
“Ah, the Holy Spirit… … .”
However, there was a problem. Since the gatekeeper who managed the Holy Fire disappeared, the trials on the 81st floor naturally began to shake.
Still, it seemed like the angel wasn’t completely incompetent.
Hurrah!
“This is annoying! Ugh. I can’t help it. I’ll just have to hold on until you all leave… … .”
He came forward and personally maintained the Holy Spirit before anything happened.
As Se-woon was about to leave after watching the scene, the angel called out to him urgently.
“Oh, wait!”
Actually, there was one thing that pricked me.
If the gatekeeper had been an ordinary boss monster, that might not have been the case, but he was the main force that kept the 81st floor trials going.
It was closer to a structure than a monster.
Since he had destroyed such a thing, he was worried that the angel who could be called the manager would find it annoying if he asked about it.
“thank you!”
“……what?”
But then I heard something completely unexpected.
“When Seonghwa came running with his eyes wide open, I really thought, ‘Oh no!’ I know it’s unlikely, but if there were any dents in the Tower of Babel… … Ugh! This is horrible!”
Instead of scolding, he expressed his gratitude.
As Se-woon listened with a somewhat blank expression, she noticed this and continued speaking.
“Ah! If you’ve knocked down the gatekeeper, don’t worry! That’ll be recreated when the next trial comes up anyway!”
“It’s being made?”
“The Master of the Tower of Babel has always been like that! Especially this time, because I burned too much sin, even the takgi was created, so I had to dispose of it anyway!”
The gatekeeper’s flames were getting murky over time, and I thought he was losing his temper after being attacked by Seun, but I guess that wasn’t the case.
‘Well, it couldn’t have been made that poorly.’
In this attack, three guilds took on the challenge at the same time.
Diablo and Cheonghae, Valhalla Guild.
Since three great guilds, even in terms of military power, have challenged it, the difficulty of the ordeal has increased, and the corresponding backlash will have returned to the gatekeeper.
I thought that the table that Se-un had seen might have been a manifestation of that reaction.
‘So, if I repeat the 81st floor, I can accumulate more divinity?’
If the gatekeeper was to be newly created anyway, it seemed possible to build up divinity.
But as if he had noticed Se-un’s thoughts, the angel shook his head and denied it.
“If you’ve been hit like this, you won’t be able to see the gatekeeper when you come back, right? All your sins have already been burned!”
“What if I commit sin again?”
“Oh, how blasphemous! That’s such a bad idea! Then I’ll have to burn it again, but I’ll probably be able to stop it somehow!”
Although the detailed principle was not explained, wouldn’t the system interfere even if it were not the ‘owner of the Tower of Babel’ that the angel spoke of?
Building up divinity through such expedient means is something that the management office must prevent.
Well, anyway, it all worked out well in the end.
“Ah, this is the reward!”
“pay?”
A pure white feather fell from her wing.
The feather fluttered in the wind and settled on Seun’s palm.
“This?”
“If we collect them all, something good might happen… … maybe!”
Seun before his return is a feather he has never received before.
Actually, Se-Woon at that time didn’t have much of a relationship with angels.
At that time, the angel’s role was only to announce the start of the trial and judge the player when the trial ended.
No matter how gently I approached him, I couldn’t have a proper conversation with an angel.
“What exactly happens?”
“Well? If you’re interested, come and gather some together!”
“How do you collect them?”
“Well? I don’t know who my sisters would give feathers to. Even if I were asked to collect them, I wouldn’t be able to? Probably!”
“How do you… … .”
“You should figure that out! Okay, I gave you a reward! Now it’s over! Now let’s hurry and go! To the path of brilliant light!”
I guess you have no intention of telling me more.
I was curious about its uses, but there was no way to know.
Se-Woon turned his back on the angel, reasoning that it was a reward he could receive from the angel by either clearing the trials first or going through certain situations.
Although I was instinctively drawn to the Hidden Piece, there was too much to do at the Tower of Babel to waste time on a place like this.
Hwaruruk-
As we approached the Tower of Babel, the burning flames began to die down and a golden gate was revealed.

A door that opens wide as if welcoming.
Se-woon put the feather in his bosom and headed toward the door, and as expected, messages about finishing the trial in first place came to mind one after another.
* * *
The first floor of the Tower of Babel.
A hole the size of the one seen from outside appeared.
If there’s anything suspicious, it’s the golden doors on all sides, more than twenty of them, including the one Se-un just entered.
When viewed from the outside, the Tower of Babel clearly had only one door. But when you go inside, there were so many doors that it didn’t make sense.
Many people who saw it for the first time thought it was just for decoration.
‘That’s the 82nd floor ordeal.’
Se-un knew the identity of those doors.
It seemed like the ordeal was about to begin, but there were those who entered the Tower of Babel almost at the same time as Seun.
“Mr. Se-un! Are you okay?”
“Hahahahaha! That was awesome! You really knocked down that gatekeeper! I never would have imagined that!”
Yushua and Brin Jar.
After Seun finished the battle, the two of them had no reason to stay on the 81st floor and entered the Tower of Babel right away.
Unfortunately, it seems like other people haven’t gotten off the 81st floor yet.
The system must have thought it should be cut off here as it immediately started guiding people to the 82nd floor.
– Welcome to the 82nd floor trial.
– Subject: Good deeds
– You have taken your first step on the Tower of Babel, burning all the sins you have accumulated below and heading towards the higher places.
– Build up your good deeds to climb up the Tower of Babel.
“……preceding?”
“It must be your first time.”
As Yu Seo-ah tilted her head, an angel fell slowly from above as expected.
An angel with an extremely calm atmosphere, unlike the angel on the 81st floor.
As soon as she landed on the ground, she looked at the three challengers with her crescent moon-shaped eyes and began to explain.
“Welcome to all the pure souls who have entered the Tower of Babel, burning all their sins. Now that you are ‘prepared,’ you must accumulate good deeds to climb the tower.”
“How do I accumulate good deeds?”
Brin Jar may think that he is the only one who knows about the ordeal, but in reality, only Yu Seo Ah is unaware of it.
Perhaps feeling impatient, she immediately asked a question.
Fortunately, the angel smiled gently and accepted her question.
“There are many ways to do good deeds, but I have called you to help those who need help. Everyone?”
Interesting-
The numerous golden doors we had seen before opened simultaneously.
Inside, people with such different races, positions, and appearances that it was impossible to see anything in common walked out one by one.
“Keeek… … .”
A goblin wearing a crown that is too large to fit his head.
“Krrrrrr.”
A werewolf proudly showing off dozens of scars carved all over his body.
“… … .”
An ogre silently staring at this place, holding a huge weapon in both hands.
“Ugh, ugh.”
Even humans who are panting and expressing their pain as if they are about to die at any moment.
After these people appeared, Yu Seo Ah could also guess the content of this ordeal.
The 82nd floor of trials, good deeds.
It was to help those who came through the golden gate.
“If you help just one of them, we can get to the next floor.”
“Can we make our own choices?”
“Yes, but they came here hoping for salvation, but they were given one limitation.”
“what is that?”
“It’s a very minor limitation that we can’t tell them what kind of help they need.”
Very minor restrictions?
No. Helping one of them without knowing anything about it was a serious problem.
What would happen if a non-combat player like Go Chang-seok or Lee Ha-neul were to face a challenge like, “Please defeat the monster that is trying to destroy the world!”?
What would happen if a combat-oriented person like Yoo Seo-ah or Kang Han-cheol were to be faced with a trial like, “The surface is polluted, so please create a haven underground!”?
The angel spoke nonchalantly about that serious limitation.
‘This is a problem even if you’re not a player.’
All those standing in front of the golden gate have come here in hope of salvation.
I don’t know if all this is real or just an illusion for the sake of testing, but since they came here hoping for help, they need to find a proper savior.
The constraint of not being able to say what kind of help they need was a burden to them… no, even more so than to the players, as their own dimension was at stake.
“How is it? It’s simple, right? Hehe.”
“simple…….”
Yu Seo-ah sighed.
Although it was an unreasonable ordeal, it was actually kind of me to receive this level of explanation during the tower’s ordeal in the first place.
“Hahahaha! That’s why the people of Plaka didn’t tell you about the trials. Every time you come, someone needs help, so they can’t tell you about it!”
“I see… … Do you have any know-how?”
“Know-how? I have it!”
Bryn Jar headed towards the golden door on the left without hesitation. He looked towards the ogre who was silently looking this way while holding a huge weapon.
Bryn Jarn, who stood in front of it and locked eyes with the ogre for a while.
“I move wherever my heart desires!”
thud.
He extended his fist and met the ogre’s fist.
To anyone who sees them, it looks like they’re already friends.
After making his choice, Bryn Jar went straight through the golden gate with the ogre.
Yoo Seo-ah, who was momentarily dumbfounded, asked Se-woon.
“… … Is that know-how real?”
“No way.”
Just do as your heart desires.
Absolutely not.
Although there were limitations, there were many hints in this ordeal.
“There, the old man’s skin. Can you see it?”
“Black mushrooms… … No, are they poisonous?”
“Yes. I don’t know the details, but there must be some kind of problem related to poison or disease spreading there. We need to deal with the source or end the disease.”
“ah!”
“And over there the werewolf… … .”
“I can feel the intensity. And the scars on my body. It must be something to do with combat, right? And fighting multiple enemies rather than boss monsters.”
“okay.”
Figuring out that hint and choosing the golden door was the key to floor 82.
In contrast, Brin Jar was only acting according to his intuition.
‘It was a good choice considering all that.’
The ogre chosen by Bryn Jar had numerous monster remains hanging from its waist. So it was likely a problem related to monster hunting.
That kind of combat would be Bryn Jar’s specialty.
After hearing the explanation up to this point, Yu Seo-ah nodded as if she understood, looked around, and then chose the goblin at the front.
“I’ll choose that door. What about Se-un?”
Seun nodded at her question.
In fact, from the moment the golden gate first opened and those in need of help showed up, there was one thing that caught Seun’s eye.
“I am…….”
Seun chose the golden gate.
