Episode 687. Endless Wayport (2)
If we were to call Azathoth, Shub-Niggurath, Nyarlathotep, or Yomagantho the ‘Outer Gods’.
Another force that is at odds with them is called the ‘Elder Gods’.
A relationship like oil and water where they share the same 50th floor but can never become close.
Although they were content to remain within their own domain and were reluctant to engage with outside interference, this did not mean that they were not belligerent or weak.
“Michael… sir?”
An earthquake occurred in Ophelia’s pupil.
It was because he never imagined that Michael would risk his own life to save Ellis.
“Please take care of the rest.”
Michael smiled a gentle smile he had never seen before.
It was a smile that felt much more comfortable and calm, different from the past when only massacres and slaughter were committed.
“… … It was an honor to work with you.”
Ophelia stayed by Michael’s side.
And at that moment.
[Elder God ‘Oryx’ appears.]
A blinding light was emitted.
Kukukukukukuku!
The shaking axis.
If Yomagantou is a calamity that burns everything.
Oryx is a brilliant fire. It burns with pure white and purple flames, but it is never hot; it controls cold fire.
“Elder… God.”
Yomaganto looked up into the sky.
The aura surrounding my entire body shook and an indescribable pressure was applied to my entire body.
“I have answered the call. Are you the one who summoned me?”
A huge light was directed at Jinhyuk, who had lost consciousness.
Although it was Michael who activated the Endless Wayport, the sources of that technique were all pointing to Jinhyuk.
Then, Jinhyeok, who had been passed out, dusted himself off and got up from his seat as if nothing had happened.
“Contractor. Was it okay?”
“Yeah… No, it was just that my eyes were so dazzled that I came to my senses.”
It was so great to watch Ellis and Medley break through their limits, but now that the Endless Wayport has opened, the break is over.
‘Michael played a big role.’
Honestly, I didn’t expect it to get to that level.
A bitter aftertaste filled my tongue, but I will remember him after this whole thing is over.
Another card to counter the primordial beings.
Because it was the first time I had contact with the Elder Gods.
“Yes. I called you.”
Jinhyuk nodded.
“It’s interesting that a human fights the Outer God. Besides, I didn’t know that there would be anyone left in this dimension who knew the spell to summon me.”
That must be it.
Originally, the only way to make contact with the Elder Gods was after reaching the 48th floor.
It’s something I would never have dreamed of if I had never climbed a tower before.
“Don’t interfere, Oryx. If you cross the line, I won’t let you off easy.”
Yomagantou spewed out flames.
Hurrruk!
The angry Coward sent a heavy warning.
“It is our rule to grant the wishes of humans who are summoned by the summoning ritual. I simply follow that sacred duty.”
Orix calmly told the truth.
Then Yomaganto’s voice became even colder.
“Even if it means going to war with us?”
The primordial war.
It is a word that means the prologue where the Tower of Trials, as well as countless other dimensions, can turn to dust.
“Are you the one who is willing to endure everything just to suppress a single human being? Why would you go that far?”
Orix asked back, as if he didn’t understand.
“… … .”
Yomagantou closed his mouth.
Instead, it was Jinhyeok who answered.
“That’s because the Necronomicon is at stake in this fight.”
“… …!?”
This time it was Orix’s turn to be surprised.
One of the few means that can threaten the Outer God. The name of the forbidden book known only to a few people outside of the 50th floor came out of a human’s mouth, so it was only natural that it was shocking.
Now I understand why Yomagantou would bet everything on one human.
at the same time.
As a member of the Elder Gods, I was very intrigued by this matter.
“Was it like that?”
Oryx’s brilliance has grown even stronger.
“I heard something I didn’t need to hear.”
Yomaganto intuitively felt that all his remaining options had disappeared.
Now that the existence of the Necronomicon is known, Oryx will never give up.

In other words, the situation has now become one where there is no other answer than war.
Everything was just as Jinhyuk had intended.
***
[Yomaganto activates ‘Three Flames’ – ‘Burning Planet’!]
Hururuk…!
A merciless fire began to spread across the canyon and up the entire staircase.
If up until now the primordial gods were just entertainment for suppressing the insignificant, from now on, a situation has arrived where they must exert all their power against equal enemies.
Damn it…!
[Orix activates ‘Frozen Flame’ – ‘Stopped Abyss’!]
Orix also confronted Yomaganto, spewing out cold flames that matched its momentum.
There is a tense atmosphere.
It was only natural that my heart would stop beating when the 50 floor beings that rarely fight were about to clash.
“I’ll get the Necronomicon. Can you leave it to me in the meantime?”
“That doesn’t matter, but that book is something that is difficult for a human to handle. I would like your role to end at just retrieving the book. Do you understand?”
It’s a roundabout way of saying, ‘If you secure it, turn over the book.’
Of course, I never thought of that.
of course.
The words that came out of his mouth were completely different from his inner thoughts.
“I intend to do so. I can’t handle such dangerous objects anyway. My purpose is simply to protect the places I hold dear. I have no desire to be involved with the 50th floor.”
It’s a bonus that I intentionally raised my voice a little.
So that everyone around can hear.
“Understood. I’ll stop that guy, so you absolutely must secure the book.”
“Please leave it to me.”
Jinhyuk nodded.
Then I glanced behind me.
Even so, if it has gone this far, I think we should at least start to acknowledge it as a human being… .
That was when I thought about it.
Tiring!
[Meets the criteria for goodness.]
Another reason I came here has finally come to fruition.
[You have successfully copied Medley’s unique spell, ‘Rainbow Bridge’.]
[Rainbow Bridge]
Difficulty of acquisition: Unmeasurable
Content: You can color objects, including your own body. However, the types of colors you can color will vary depending on your skill level, and when you reach the highest level, you can even mix colors to create new colors that didn’t exist before.
[Copied abilities are stored in the ‘World’s Memory’.]
A willingness to sacrifice oneself for the spirits.
There are countless people who even risk their lives for Jinhyuk.
This would be impossible unless true goodness reaches its zenith.
At least that’s what Medley truly thought.
good.
This gives you one more card to use against the primordial beings.
“Ellis.”
“huh.”
Ellis approached Jinhyuk.
Now that Oryx has taken over, we can focus all our attention on finding the Necronomicon.
[The universally shared ‘Revelation of the Opening of the World’ is activated!]
Jinhyuk’s wings covered Ellis’s already tattered wings.
“Hold on tight. We’ll go fast.”
“What do you think the luggage is? Even if you’ve lost all your strength, it’s not to the point where you can’t fly.”
“Then, shall we each go?”
“… … .”
Ellis silently wrapped her arm around Jinhyuk’s shoulder.
“Where!”
Hurrruk!
Yomagantou’s sword stretched forward.
Kookwakwakwakwakwakwakwakwa!
A crack appeared in space and countless meteorites began to fall, each of them absurdly large, hundreds of meters in diameter.
That’s thousands of troops targeting Jinhyuk and Ellis.
However, the overwhelming wide-area attack was blocked by a huge wall before it could even reach its target.
“I told you, I won’t let this guy get in my way.”
Oryx unfurled a curtain of frozen flame.
Kwakwakwakwakwang!
Pupupupu!
Countless meteors and blue flames collided in the sky.
The meteor broke apart, sending a large amount of debris flying in all directions.
Yomaganto’s eyes turned purple.
“If you continue to interfere, I will destroy this staircase itself to prevent the Necronomicon from passing through.”
“If you can try… by all means.”
A full-scale battle unfolded between the primordial gods.
***
How long could you run while maintaining top speed?
Creepy…!
I’m quite far from the combat radius, but it feels like the living thing is chasing me from right behind.
“Are we there yet? You may not know it, but the rest is slowly reaching its limit.”
Cheon Yu-seong, who had joined in the meantime, let out a groan.
As the battle between Yomagantu and Oryx intensified, I decided that it was more important to pursue Jinhyuk and secure the Necronomicon rather than staying there.
As a result, all the members of the Goinmul Corporation gathered one by one.
“It seems like we’re almost there, but I can’t really say we’re there.”
“What does that mean?”
“We need to check the clues that Mr. Pesis and the 2 Chickens are looking for first, but we can confirm the final destination where the book is.”
A sort of prerequisite.
Only when the final fragment is put into place will the location of the forbidden book be revealed.
“Then shouldn’t we also support them first?”
Teresa asked a reasonable question.
If you can’t achieve the first one, the rest will be meaningless. In that case, it would be reasonable to mobilize all your capabilities to find the last clue.
“Of course, acquiring books is the first priority, but it’s not everything.”
But there were things we had to work on together to really win this fight.
Since they used additional cards like Frey and Wolyoung, they had to somehow achieve their goal with their own power.
Dalgrak.
Jinhyuk took out the old and broken jewelry box that he had kept in his bosom.
A complex and difficult map emerged, with the image of a snake biting its own tail. At first glance, it was impossible to tell what it meant.
Just one person.
Except for Jinhyuk.
‘Is it this branch this time?’
Of all places… I ended up in the worst of the worst position.
In the past, when climbing the tower, I went through all sorts of hardships to find the Necronomicon, but among them, there were three cases that were the most difficult.
This is one of them.
Bam.
Jinhyuk’s steps stopped in front of a huge cliff.
On the surface it looks like an ordinary cliff.
“… … ?”
“You said it was urgent, so why are you here?”
“It’s a dead end.”
A ‘?’ appeared above everyone’s head.
But in the following scene, the interrogative soon changed into an exclamation.
[Enter the hidden route ‘Event Horizon’.]
A purple wave appeared, and a passage about 5 meters wide appeared in the middle of the cliff. Jinhyeok swallowed dry saliva.
The reason this route is the worst is….
This is because several passageways are connected to the 50th floor.
“You really have to be careful.”
If you make a mistake and fall somewhere on the 50th floor… .
… … At that time, we really need a book like ‘Surviving on the 50th Floor’.
