I’m Alone on the 100th Floor Episode 041
13. Slave No. 148 (2)
〈I don’t know the exact circumstances, but the forest is on fire. Do you have any water?〉
“There is, but it’s only basic drinking water. It’s only the size of a person’s drink. It’s not a water bomb that can put out a fire.” Rasil’s voice, which had been flustered upon discovering the forest, suddenly calmed down.
“How far is it?”
〈Less than a minute.〉
When Rasil, who knew Eugene’s speed, estimated the time it would take to reach the place where the sound was heard, Eugene immediately kicked his leg.
I could have ignored Rasil’s words about the fire and headed to the next floor, but I was afraid of the consequences of just passing by. ‘What is this?’ Rasil’s chattering in my head scared me, so I headed in that direction, but something felt strange.
‘If the explosion was loud enough to be heard within a minute of my leg, does that mean there was an explosion of that magnitude?’
This was the 12th floor of the tower.
Considering that the 11th floor trials were of walking plants, it was difficult to believe that this explosion was caused by the trials.
“It’s quite a big fire.”
Eugene, who was running towards the place where the explosion occurred, began to see black smoke.
I could hear the forest burning, I could smell the ashes piling up, but… I felt no sign of people.
‘If it wasn’t a trial, then it must have been a man-made fire. If I don’t feel any signs of life… is it too late?’
Eugene, who had been frowning at the thought of seeing a human corpse, stopped walking.
“It’s popular.”
〈I felt it too.〉
As if Rasil felt what Eugene felt, the two of them were looking at the same place.
〈Should we put out the fire first?〉
Eugene nodded, judging that it was best to first turn off the lights since there was still a lot of noise in that spot.
The fire they encountered was so large that it could be called a large forest fire.
For Eugene, putting out a fire of this magnitude without any water was impossible, but for Rasil, it was possible.
“How long will it take?”
〈It’ll be over soon.〉
When Rasil, who was sitting on Eugene’s shoulder, reached out her hand, a green light began to swirl around her small hand.
The method by which Rasil put out the fire in the forest was surprisingly simple.
promotion.
All he did was infuse his mana into the plants to make them grow faster than the forest was burning.
‘You’re a minister.’
The situation in the forest that was being engulfed in flames began to change in an instant.
Faster than the flames, the fresh greens were swallowing up the red.
???Thud.
… … thud.
The sight of the plants growing by twisting the tree trunks was almost eerie.
“It’s mostly finished. I left a few places… but those fires are just embers that will go out anyway.” Perhaps because the swollen plants were more vibrant than before, it was fitting to say that the plants had suppressed the fire.
Indeed, the world tree.
He was one of the transcendent beings of this tower, for whom words like common sense and compatibility did not apply.
As Rasil moved the hand he had extended forward to his mouth and blew air with a ‘whoosh!’ sound, a pleasant breeze blew through the forest.
〈If the main body had come, I could have done it from afar, but I feel bad that I have to borrow the hero’s legs.〉
If there is one world, it would be okay to call it the god of that world, but the original world tree was not in a state where it could easily draw out all of its power.
In numbers, it’s about 20 percent…
Once when he realized that he was in the ordeal of the tower, twice when he was almost corrupted by an evil spirit, three times when he came down from the tower, and four times when he was only a part of it and not the main body… In total, his strength was broken four times.
“There’s nothing I can do.”
She was weaker than the ‘real’ one on the 98th floor, and the problem was that she would often chatter like a teenage girl in her head… but she was more helpful than Eternal, and was Eugene’s partner.
“I’ve never said anything regretful, so there’s no need to feel intimidated.”
Eugene, who had honestly praised the World Tree, turned his head to where he had felt the presence of people after confirming once again that the fire had been extinguished.
“Let’s see. If you look through the eyes of the forest, there are three.” “Three?”
〈The number of people.〉
“Net… same?”
〈Hmm?〉 The number of people he had sensed was four, but the number that Rasil discovered through the forest was three.
〈That’s strange. The number of people I can see is three. Hmm, it looks like they’re in a standoff?〉
Eugene decided that there was no need to argue, so he decided to check it out himself and started walking.
The place where the presence was felt was a clearing in the forest not far from where Eugene was standing.
“??? So? Hand this guy over?”
“Wouldn’t it be better to hand it over just like that? If you don’t, I’ll have no choice but to take it by force.” “That crazy kid, he started shooting explosive magic out of nowhere… And now he’s pretending to negotiate? Cough!”
Eugene approached without making any noise, hid in a suitable bush, and began to spy on the situation.
It was just as Rasil said.
There were three people… one was lying on the ground, blackened by charcoal, and the other two were standing at a reasonable distance.
“Ha… haha! Sorry, but this guy is a ‘slave’ belonging to our guild, so I can’t hand him over to you.”
Eugene frowned as he looked at him closely, as if he was talking about a person lying down.
‘Slave? Dying?’
I don’t know what it was, but if he was an important person, he should have prioritized treatment rather than meowing like that… It seemed like he didn’t care about the injured person at all.
‘Let’s see, the level is… …
Eugene turned his eyes and checked the levels of the three people.
[Level: 65]
[Level: 30]

[Level: 40]
Surprisingly, there was a fairly large difference in the levels of the people in the standoff.
Level 65.
According to the guide’s explanation, it was a level that would be included in the top rankers.
‘Is that guy part of Drug too?’
When I listened in, wondering if he was the mastermind behind the tower that the guide was worried about, he seemed to be a fairly famous climber, unlike the climbers I met in the 7th floor prison.
“It’s an honor that a ranker famous for playing with fire has come to meet a guy like me.”
Like the ‘Shingung’ the guide had previously mentioned, the person Eugene had discovered also seemed to have a special nickname.
“But, surprisingly, someone so famous doesn’t seem to have much going on, right? Seeing the fires in the forest going out one by one?” As the climber who was being pushed grumbled, the climber who was being pushed lit a flame in his right hand.
“joy!”
The wizard who had been glancing back snorted in laughter.
“I thought you wouldn’t be so stupid as to not realize you were being merciful.”
The mana around the wizard, whose face was crumpled as if he was about to show off his level 65 power, began to fluctuate greatly.
‘I never thought that light would go out… Why did it go out? Was it because of the structure of the tower? It doesn’t matter.’
Even with the use of some magic, the forest fires would go out on their own, something even the wizards had not expected.
‘Right now, the recovery of the goal is a greater priority.’
I wasn’t planning on harming the other person for fear of the penalty for murder, but I couldn’t help it since it had come to this.
I had to accept that much.
The wizard was after something that could change the landscape of this tower.
“Before you die like the guy next to you, do you have any last words?”
Eugene, who was hiding in the bushes and watching the wizard’s actions, muttered as he noticed something strange.
‘Wasn’t it the person lying down who told you to turn over?’
The situation was turning urgent.
“??? A will? Huh!”
The climber looked at the hot flame with a ridiculous expression.
“I’m sorry, but I have no will to tell a brat like you.” When the one who had been gathered raised his middle finger, the wizard let out another ‘Huh!’ laugh.
“Wait?… “
Eugene narrowed his eyes as he looked at where the commotion was occurring.
There were four.
When he actually got there, he could only see three people as Rasil had said, and he couldn’t see the fourth… but Eugene had a feeling that there were indeed four people there.
‘Where is the other one?’
As Yu Jin was looking around with his eyes narrowed, he caught sight of a ‘strange tree branch’.
‘ hmm’?’
Eugene, who thought it was some kind of hallucination that only he could see, called Rasil.
“hey.”
“Do you see… that?”
Rasil, who had been looking at Eugene at the whispering voice, turned her gaze to where he was pointing.
〈Uh… yes.〉
At first I thought it was a tree branch because the color was similar, but it wasn’t a tree branch.
“What is that? A horn?”
It was a small ‘horn’.
Rasil, who was guessing the identity of the horns sticking out from behind the wooden pillar, started to get excited when he noticed its identity.
〈Is it a deer?〉
The fourth identity hiding behind the pillar was a deer.
〈Hero! It’s a deer!〉
The fourth entity, with thick chains wrapped around its neck and legs, was a small baby deer.
“??? I have no intention of handing over not only the will, but also anything else.”
Climer, who was confronting the fire-wielding wizard, seemed to already know his identity.
He glanced back at the deer’s antlers protruding from behind a wooden pole and continued speaking.
“How did we get to be delivery slaves… …
Eugene’s eyes widened as he eavesdropped on the conversation.
‘Delivery?’
〈Delivery? What is delivery, hero?〉
“What is a delivery service…
Eugene, who was hesitating about how to explain, spoke in words she could understand.
“Deliveryman.”
〈Ah! Then that guy… … .>
Rasil, who noticed why Eugene’s eyes were wide open, clapped his hands as he looked at the horns poking out from behind the wooden pillar.
〈That’s what the teacher said above, right?〉
