Episode 334 Mr. Octo
I scratched my forehead as I reached the 68th floor.
Mr. Octo of Moonlight.
Roughly speaking, it meant ‘moon rabbit in the moonlight’, and it was a disaster that had some connection to me.
“What is your identity? Is this guy a spirit too?”
Based on what I’ve experienced so far, it seems like that would be the case, but I don’t know what the reality is.
[Mr. Okto says he has something prepared for you.] [Mr. Okto says he likes fluffy things.] [Mr. Okto is struggling, saying he was bored on the 68th floor.]
Unlike the other guys, this guy talks a lot… … .
Dalkan and Mestoca also sent messages, but not like this.
Well, you’ll know once you experience it, so let’s just say that’s true.
For now, it seems like he’s friendly to me.
The favor of disaster, is this a good thing? It’s hard to judge since there’s no comparison.
Everyone who had a relationship with me had a bad relationship with me.
I walked forward. Nothing would be solved by standing there blankly.
“The field is unusual.”
“Yeah.”
The fields of the tower were of various kinds, but often had outstanding natural scenery.
There were some desolate places, but most of them were traces of a destroyed world.
On the other hand, the field on the 68th floor is… … .
“There’s nothing there. Right?”
It was a colorless space.
Rather than saying that it is completely colorless, it is full of only gray rocks and dirt.
There were also traces of it being burned black here and there.
The trees that are occasionally visible are completely dried and burnt, and resemble large, black toothpicks.
The sky is also hazy. Clouds? It’s a bit too cloudy for that. There’s also a lot of dust mixed in the air.
“It’s good that there are no monsters… … .”
What is this feeling of discomfort?
Are there any NPCs here?
As I was walking with my mind wandering, a familiar being flew towards me from the sky.
A guy who circles the sky like an eagle and then lands.
“Hello, customer! I am a seagull from the seagull!”
“Yes, nice to meet you. Did you give me all the horns?”
“Of course! Fast and accurate service! Customers, ‘I praise this employee’ is always open. Please give me some praise.”
The guy who shamelessly hands me a piece of paper.
Yeah. Life is tough. I took a ballpoint pen and roughly scribbled down a list of compliments. The seagull squeaked. I guess this is enough.
He smiles brightly and collects the documents without even knowing what was written.

Why did this guy come?
“Hehehe. Thank you! Here, here’s the new customer event product I told you about last time!”
He hands me an eco-bag with a seagull drawn on it that I took out from somewhere.
[Seagull Eco Bag (A)]
-A gift for new Seagull customers!
-This is a subspace item.
-Contains seagulls’ favorite snacks.
On the topic of gifts, subspace items? Surprisingly good.
I rummaged inside and found shrimp flavored snacks.
“Gulp.”
The seagull’s eyes were fixed on the cookies.
Hey hey, where’s the delivery man who covets his customers’ snacks?
Why be stingy with just one cookie? I opened the bag and threw it to him, and he quickly took it and ate it.
Even Deokchun, who has a good appetite, doesn’t think about stealing it because he puts it straight into his mouth.
[The seagull’s favorability increases!]
He seems like such an easy guy. It would be good if his favorability rating went up.
After sharing some snacks.
“Here, a letter has been sent from White Horn.”
“So that was the main point.”
“Of course! I’ll go. Call me anytime!”
The seagull that delivered the letter soared into the sky.
“I’m saying this because I got a snack, but you have too little hair right now. It’s dangerous here!”
A guy who leaves behind words that are difficult to understand and disappears.
Hairless? I have hair.
I glanced at Deokchun. He really doesn’t have any hair. Hair… … .
“Yeah.”
“I didn’t think about anything, ahem.”
He cleared his throat and looked through the letter.
It starts with a word of gratitude. I’ve been expressing my gratitude on behalf of those who have regained their horns thanks to me.
If you come to headquarters, we promise to provide you with appropriate treatment and compensation.
The following is… … .

“Branch training?”
I squinted my eyes. There was a White Horn branch on the 68th floor as well. However, it was in the past tense, meaning it no longer existed. In other words… … .
‘All the White Horn NPCs that were here were wiped out.’
The branch will survive even if only one person remains. As was the case with Chefin on the 62nd floor.
I suspected that it was an attack from the white tree, but the content was different.
The church there was also on the verge of collapse, and in fact, the 68th floor was said to be a place where the two forces were not active.

What White Horn wants is to retrieve the items that were in the branch office’s location.
I put the eco bag and letter in my inventory.
[Mr. Okto is waiting for tea time with you.] [Mr. Okto stares into space, saying that even feathers are hair.]
Mr. Octo’s message still comes to mind.
I held my breath quietly. The reason the branch collapsed. No matter how I thought about it, this guy was the cause.
* * *
It wasn’t difficult to find traces of the White Horn branch.
Because the surrounding area is so vast, traces of buildings are noticeable.
It was a bunker-like building, but unlike the previous branch, it was quite well-equipped.
It’s now collapsed and not much to see, but looking at the thick iron gates and defensive weapons, it seems like it was built with fortress-level defenses.
There are also several classic but dangerous traps, of course broken and useless.
Two items were found inside the bunker.
A coffin made of map fragments and angel feathers.
[White Tree Map]
-A piece of map showing the location of the Celestial Clan and the White Tree.
-The information is written in a password.
[Wingless Angel’s Feather Crown (S)]
-A crown given to nobles and heroes.
-Made of feathers of those who will rule.
– Increased control over the target.
There was a reason I sent the letter asking for help.
Because both of these items were things White Horn could not afford to lose.
If the White Tree side sect hadn’t been destroyed, I would have taken care of it a long time ago.
I safely put it in my inventory and headed out.
All that remains is to overcome the disaster.
I wonder where the members who came up with me are. I hope they are safe.
-Squeaky
The moment when you open the half-collapsed door and leave the bunker.
“You didn’t come for so long, so I came!”
An unexpected guest arrived.
A being that appears to be a water creature. It feels more like an animal than a human.
The guy had white fur, long, pointed ears, and red eyes, and was small, about the size of my forehead.
-Saaaaah
The energy I felt from him was by no means small.
Violence hidden in innocence.
“Disaster on the 68th floor, Mr. Octo appears!”
Bam!
A guy who poses while making his own sound effects.

This guy, can you talk?
There has never been a disaster that spoke to you with a voice.
It also has a shape closer to a water creature than a spirit.
I was worried about how to react.
“It’s Evil Eye.”
“I wondered who the person who broke the double ears was, and indeed it was. This is unusual. What kind of appearance is this?”
Fortunately, they don’t attack out of the blue.
He circles around me with curious eyes, wondering if my favor is fake.
I didn’t know we would meet like this.
“Even the spirit of chaos. Nice to meet you, I am Master Okto.”
“Yeah.”
If you look closely, Deokchun is not pushed back either. The guy who shook Deokchun’s hand politely as if he was trying to treat me well looks up at me.
“But you don’t have much hair?”
“Do you need it?”
“Things without hair are disgusting. Oh, of course, Mr. Frog is an exception. Spirits deserve to be treated as such. You too!”
Mr. Okto’s mouth is split open and the corners of his mouth go up.
It has so many fangs that you wouldn’t think it’s a rabbit.
Madness seen in the red, glowing eyes.
“You’re the exception. Heh heh! You stupid two-eared bastard, you lost to me and now you’re losing to a human!”
What’s so good about it? Spread your arms towards the sky.
I wonder what happened between them. I don’t know for sure, but I don’t think it was a good thing.
That would be the case, Mr. Okto had a sickle on his waist… … .
[Okto Sensei’s Jeolgutgong (SSS)]
-Made from the spine obtained by winning a bet with Twin-Headed Ears.
-Run away before the sledgehammer hits you!
It was an object made by extracting the spine of a double-headed goby.
It’s SSS-grade and made of spirit bones, so that’s possible.
“Come on, let’s go! I have a lot to talk to you about!”
“Huh, huh? Where are you going!”
“Let’s go enjoy tea time.”
-Clap clap!
The guy who was dragging me claps his hands.
Those who appear with him. Those who carry the palanquin on their shoulders kneel on one knee so that Mr. Okto can get on.
A familiar face. A horn growing on the forehead. An angel from the Second Heaven.
I knew from letters that the White Tree Church had also suffered a blow that was close to destruction.
I was wondering what the remaining survivors were doing, and it turns out they were being held captive.

The clothing is strange. Even though the weather is not cold, he is wearing clothes covered with fur all over his body.
Up to this point, let’s say that’s the case… … .
“uh?”
“hmm?”
One of the cartmen is a sphere.
A guy with his upper body exposed by himself.
“Fluffy!”
“Hey, who is this? It’s Evil Eye! Hahaha!”
I heard it went up to the 67th floor, but I never thought it would be here.
Mr. Okto, who saw the day when he stopped while getting on the palanquin, pricked up his ears.
“Oh, you knew Bok-sil? She’s a child I cherish. One, two, three, A position.”
Thump.
As Mr. Octo snaps his fingers, the celestials with scrunched faces change places.
Bosongsong stepped aside and the remaining three lifted the palanquin, while the face of the celestial being who was offering alone behind turned pale.
The palanquin looks quite heavy.
“Let’s go. Bok-sil, assist the guest from the side.”
“Yes, I understand.”
Now, Bosong-song, who turned her shoulder as if to say she would live a little, follows along.
He even took out a large fan and gave it to me.
‘What happened?’
When asked about the situation through the shape of her mouth, Bosongsong slightly shook her head and covered her mouth with her finger.
I guess I can’t say anything right now since Mr. Okto is right next to me.
Let’s just stay still for now. Whatever it is, Mr. Okto is a disaster. There’s no guarantee that we’ll be able to do anything if we fight him one-on-one.
And you can’t make things difficult for the fluffy ones.
The palanquin climbs endlessly uphill.
I realize now that the places I wandered around were huge creators.
It’s just that the scale is so huge that you can’t see it. You have to climb up to see its shape.
Did a meteorite hit it? Beyond the creator, plants were growing.
“Are you facing upward?”
Mr. Octo broke the silence and asked a question.
Are you heading upwards?
“That’s obvious.”
“How high are you trying to climb?”
“100th floor. There are no other options.”
“100 floors? Ahahaha! That’s great! I have to go up high. Yeah, I have to look down from high up!”

The guy who burst into laughter tapped me on the shoulder.
That too for a moment… … .
“Then you will have to pass me by.”
Mr. Okto, his expression hardened, stared at me intently.
I didn’t avoid it. I had to pass by this place eventually.
If someone has made it to the top, it means they have passed the 68th floor. There is nothing I cannot do.
I nodded quietly.
“Let’s make a bet. Then I’ll personally tell you how to avoid me.”
The guy next to me whispered the bet in my ear.
Subtly but clearly.
After some time had passed.
“Don’t regret it later.”
“What great confidence.”
I smiled brightly and took the hand he extended to me.
This bet is worth it.
