Episode 166 Clear the 39th floor
After successfully verifying that people were creating portals, I ran towards the workhouse.
The original plan was for them all to come up together, shake off Meglet, and form a defensive formation, but Meglet left the demons in the slave house.
That means that five demons will soon be holding Meglet.
The original plan was for them to be the main force and hold out… but they are literally holding out.
Meglet was strong, and even if I and the demons attacked at the same time, it would have been difficult to do anything.
There is only one way to catch him.
Taking advantage of the 39th floor’s singularity.
When you create a portal, part of the field disappears. Even if they are demons, they are still beings belonging to the tower.
It was natural that if the field itself disappeared, it would die, and in order to do that… … .
“I have to go.”
I used my powers to read the details of the portal generator.
[Portal Generator]
-When you create a portal, some of the field will disappear.
-The disappearance area is based on the area where the portal was created.
– Climbers in the disappearing area will be forcibly moved to another area.
Quite a detailed structure.
We’ve increased the difficulty of clearing stages while also preventing climbers from dying in absurd ways.
The original purpose would be to make it impossible to avoid fighting monsters by shrinking the field as other teams cleared it.
I didn’t care about that part and was just going to use the fact that it would destroy the field.
Nowhere in the description does it say that NPCs or monsters are moved to a different area.
It is certain that when the escapees completed the portal, the monsters surrounding it disappeared along with the field.
However, since the area disappears based on where the portal is created, I had to go there myself and activate the portal.
Why did you let the other slaves escape?
There is only one.
“I don’t know where he’ll run off to.”
Black fog used by Meglet.
Didn’t you see it before? The sight of them moving to the workhouse in an instant.
We need to narrow the field as much as possible to block the guy’s escape route.
[Field Destruction Progress (58 percent)]
[Field Destruction Progress (65 percent)]
It looks like the work is going well.
It is a floor where six teams originally participate.
In a place like that, with over forty people creating portals, how could there be any field left?
If we do it right, the entire field will disappear before we can even catch the bastard.
That won’t do.
I increased the speed.
-Kurururung!
A loud noise began to be heard.
Could this be a secondary collapse caused by a time bomb?
I don’t think so. I can hear the demons’ voices spreading like echoes.
“Kuaaaaap! Hang in there!”
“Catch him, catch him!”
A huge hollow created in the aftermath of battle.
Inside, six demons were running wild.
Slave demons, including Gale, attack without stopping. Meglet, with her face distorted, continues to attack.
The shock wave is huge despite the considerable distance.
So much so that it was difficult to even get close.
I watched the battle of demons.
It’s dazzling.
Even in the midst of primal violence, each person is demonstrating their abilities.
The sharp stabbing blow is swallowed up by black fog and disappears, and black flames burn the earth.
Now I understand.
Why didn’t the workhouse collapse despite the demons fighting?
Meglet’s main weapon was fog. It was a mobility device, but it was also a defensive device that could absorb the opponent’s attacks.
on the other way.
“damage!”
“Khuuuuuu!”
It was also an attack device that devoured its opponents.
A fog appears without warning and wraps itself around the arm of a demon.
An arm that disappears as if it never existed in the first place.
No blood flowed.
“These bastards, are trying to destroy the workhouse? Reactionaries are subject to death!”
Meglet, the prison warden, did not want the prison to be ruined.
Because in order for him to maintain his identity as an NPC, the position of labor camp leader was absolutely necessary.
If they had really gone wild, the workhouse and everything would have collapsed.
Meglet’s eyes are bloodshot as she screams in anger. She looks very angry.
Demons that move and fight at a speed that is difficult to follow with the eyes.

Although it’s not at my level to interfere.
“I’m here!”
I screamed loudly.
The stone slab was taken out. Some jewels were already inserted.
There were four jewels in total, the jewels that Deokchun brought and the jewels that the slaves collected.
‘Just add one more.’
If you just place the yellow gemstone in the center of the stone slab, a portal will be created and everyone in the area will be destroyed along with the field.
-Wooooow!
Power is exerted.
A nearly finished slab.
A boundary that spreads out from it.
He has already entered the boundary of destruction.
but.
-Saaaaak!
The bastard’s body disappeared along with the fog.
“I used to love you, but you crossed the line!”
Appeared before Meglet’s eyes.
He attacked.
I couldn’t see it. I just expected it to attack.
[Fog Run (A) Lv.4]
I too turned into fog and dodged its attacks.
The misty body split apart, but soon came back together.
It was only for a fleeting moment, but I was an unattacking target.
“Hold on!”
“Catch me even if I die, just die!”
Five demons, not missing the gap, rushed at Meglet.
These are the ones who attack with their whole body.
“Now is the time, use it!”
Gail shouted.
Let’s finish it off before Meglet runs away.
I’ve already finished talking to them.
Even if they disappear together, I will definitely deal with Meglet.
I nodded and took the yellow gemstone out of my inventory.
Just put this on and you’re done… … .
-Whoaaaaah!
“Eww!”
“Khaaak!”
Before I could even put the jewels on, a huge storm hit.
A demon whose body is torn apart in an instant.
In the aftermath, I too was blown away and hit the wall.
The stone slab fell down as the strength in my hand suddenly gave out.
“Did you think you could catch me, you scumbags?”
Gugugugu!
A tremendous pressure is crushing me.
An overwhelming presence. An intangible energy weighs down on your entire body.
The same situation I experienced during the first interview.
Did he still have enough strength left to do something like this?
The gap between the five demons and Meglet was greater than expected.
I can’t move. It’s as if the gravity has increased dozens of times.
Perhaps it’s a miracle that we’ve made it this far.
“I’ll kill you slowly.”
-Push
“Ugh!”
As he reached out, a spear flew out and pierced my shoulder.
I can’t feel strength in my left shoulder. My body is stuck to the floor and it’s hard to move. I try to grab the stone slab somehow, but I can’t reach it.
“Do you know what kind of place this workhouse is? It’s where those who died in the Great Unification War are buried.”
Kwajik!
He broke the slab.
“The demons of the Fourth Realm do not leave behind jewels when they die. Those slaves are being punished by digging up the places where their own kind are buried. It is a price to pay for daring to attack us.”
I wondered why jewels were found in the prison, but it turns out there was a reason for that.
“I process gems to create guardians and gargoyles. It’s a great way to pass the time.”
Meglet smiled as she stomped on my head.
There is a clear malice in the air.
“They say humans can’t even leave behind jewels, so what should I do with you? It might be fun to turn you into an undead. Of course, I plan to do the work while you’re still alive.”
Kkuddukk.
The force pressing down on your head becomes stronger.
There’s a strange noise coming from the pitch.
I feel like my head is going to get crushed by a helmet at any moment.
“Yes. I’ll bury your comrades here too. It’ll be fun to become an undead and dig up the corpses of your comrades!”
“Fun, kid. Don’t look back, okay?”
“Behind? Kyaak!”
-Kwaaaaang!
Meglet, who was looking back, flew away.
A devil came to me like that.
game.
“…game.”
He looks different.
Blue skin, dark eyes. Her horns glowed white and her red hair flowed.
Four corpses were left behind him.
The demons who had worked together died, each leaving behind their own jewels.
Gail clenched her fist as she watched them disappear into dust.
The only way to catch Meglet, they thought.
Integration.
[Gale killed all the clansmen except Hwang Gwi.]
[The clan is united.]
[Gale joins the ranks of the great demons!]
“So this is what happens in the end.”
“You wrote that plan.”
“There’s nothing I can do.”
Although he didn’t show it, his face was filled with anger and sadness.
The final plan of the five demons who became slaves.
[Gale-NPC]
-The demon of the 4th world that has become closer to the original form
-A blue ghost that absorbed black ghost, white ghost, and red ghost
-caution!
-The bond is unstable!
“It’s just you and me now, Meglet.”
The Fourth Demon World was destroyed. Only Gale and Meglet remained.
I sensed an ominous aura from Gale, who had killed and absorbed his comrades.
but.
-Chijijik, chijijik
Sparks were constantly flying out of his body, and his body was slowly twisting.
Incomplete bond.
It’s clear that it will take time to stabilize.
“Evil Eye, you can’t defeat him in this state. Not only is the bond unstable, but he’s a demon who’s already passed the 90th floor. My friends and I were all eliminated around the 80th floor.”
Even though we joined forces, we cannot be sure of victory.
“But I guess I can at least hold on to it.”
With those words, Gail ran forward.
“Kyaaaaah! I don’t need any of that! I’ll kill you all, the laborers and all!”
Meglet, who had raised her body, screamed ferociously.
Two demons clashing.
Is he being considerate of me, or is he just using up his last bit of strength?
Gail pushed Meglet with all her might.
I just kept moving forward so that I wouldn’t get hurt or die from the shock that might come.
Only inward, as if there was no back.
The axis shakes and bloodshed follows.
Gail overpowers Meglet for a moment.
-Card grab
-Crisp!
His body is slowly falling apart.
The horns that were not fully fused are torn off, and the luscious hair is burned away.
Blood flowed from his blackened eyes, and his once blue body began to crack little by little.
The force that was pushing has weakened.
Meglet, who didn’t miss the opportunity, scattered the fog.
“game!”
-Passsssss
Parts of Gail’s body were literally gone.
Fatal wound!
His right arm was not visible below his shoulder, and his leg, missing its ankle, was tilted precariously.
But Gale didn’t stop.
Gail glances back at me.
Although he was covered in wounds, his eyes were clear.
“Please take care of my back, buddy.”
[Gale casts a binding spell that threatens existence.]
[Meglit resists!]
“Meglet, let’s end this long feud.”
“Hey, this guy!”
A spirit emerged from Gale’s towering body.
Entangled spirits and meglet.
I struggled but it was no use. At least Gale had grown to a similar level as him.
[Field Destruction Progress (87 percent)]
[Field Destruction Progress (93 percent)]
The extinction progress continues to increase.
It’s going up little by little, but it’s continuing.
“You guys, there’s no way that can happen!”
Meglet, who noticed our trick, goes into a rage.
Gale’s spirit body is slowly breaking apart along with him.
The body that the spirit will return to is already damaged beyond recovery.
The only way to catch Meglet is to wait for the field to dissipate.
[Field Destruction Progress (99 percent)]
[Portal creation is complete.]
[Field destruction ends.]
A message came to us like that.
The vibrations that had been echoing throughout the field stopped.
There is a moment of silence.
“Hah, hahahahaha! That’s too bad. What are we going to do now? Do you think a human can kill me on his own? And we don’t even have a stone tablet!”
Perhaps he foresees victory. Meglet spits out a madman.
I slowly got up.
He pulled out the spear embedded in his shoulder and threw it away, then picked up the jewels left behind by the demons Gale had absorbed.
A total of four.
White agate, red agate, black agate, and blue agate.
And the Hwang Gwi-seok that I held onto until the end.
“I asked what you were going to do, human. Hahahaha!”
I turned to the guy who was still smiling.
What are you going to do?
Are you sure you can kill yourself?
“I never said there was only one slab of stone.”
“What?”
The bastard’s eyes are shaking.
Most of the fields have disappeared.
A familiar cry was heard inside.
“Eeeeek!”
Deokchun.
The guy running hard towards me still had a stone tablet on his tongue, and he quickly threw it towards me with all his might.
I took out insurance before I started working.
Because Deokchun also told me to collect stone tablets and jewels in case I failed.
-chin
I held the stone slab with my relatively strong right arm.
“I kept my promise, Gail.”
“thanks.”
Without hesitation, he placed the five jewels into the stone slab.
-Paaaaaaah!
The light spreads.
In the entire field with 1 percent remaining.
[A portal is created.]
[Team members gather in one place.]
[The field is destroyed!]
This operation would have failed if the team members had not waited until most of the field was cleared.
Thank you people.
I looked at Meglet and Gale, enveloped in light.
“Oh, no!”
Meglet was completely enveloped in light as she screamed.
[40th floor, moving to safe zone.]
Just before going up, I think I saw Gail smile.

The space where Jo Hyun-soo cleared the 39th floor.
Several messages rang out in succession.
[Clear the 39th floor]

[First in the entire server, one layer was destroyed.]
[Compensation will be paid.]
