Episode 378, 74th floor
How much time did you spend in the waiting room?
I was given enough time to rest. I was able to adjust my condition and even finish making the equipment and potions that needed to be delivered.
I’ve also prepared things for myself to use. I’ve also learned other-worldly skills.
Karma liquidation to be used as a finishing move. Uniquely, otherworldly skills do not have levels or grades. You can use them once you learn them.
The conditions are strict and the penalties are clear, but I don’t care.
I tried a few other things too.
[We will soon reach the 74th floor.]
“Is it time already?”
“Yeah.”
I got enough rest.
I stretched and relaxed my body.
There are still many floors to climb.
What awaits us this time?
In the case of the white tree and white horn, there were hints from the previous floor, but there was nothing after that.
There are a few things to expect.
First of all, the 70th floor is themed after a world in the process of destruction. This time, too, a world that has passed the transitional period of destruction will unfold.
[Waiting time ends] [Entering the 74th floor.]
– Woof woof woof!
A transmission magic circle was created.
The white light spread out. I closed my eyes as if I was used to it, and felt like I was flowing somewhere.
After a bit of shaking, I opened my eyes.
[74th floor] [The 74th-76th floor Arca Continent scenario begins.] [The start varies depending on your type.] [You are the one who entered the forest.]
I was in the forest.
* * *
Trees that have grown incredibly tall.
A place where moss clings and vines hang. The air is strangely humid, but not unpleasant.
The waiting room I was in also had many trees, but I felt a stronger sense of vitality here.
Should I call it a jungle? I’ve never been there, but I think it’s probably like this when you go to the Amazon.
“This time I don’t have a choice.”
“Yeah.”
I guess this isn’t a place to choose formation.
When I was in the Second Heaven, I was temporarily treated as a celestial, but there is no such thing here.
It seems to change fluidly to suit each world.
In the Second Heaven, there were only celestials, and no humans. In other words, this world can be seen as a world with humans.
“If you think about it, aren’t the people on this side also from another world?”
“Ouch.”
After all, the world is different. And the NPCs are the same.

Well, I think the other world that the Dimension Shop talks about is a world where the tower doesn’t appear.
Let’s get moving for now. I don’t know what the situation is here.
Although it is still in its wild state, the world is still on the verge of destruction.
It means that you never know when or where a monster will pop out. If you’re unlucky, you might encounter an agent monster, a disaster of some kind unknown to you, or in the worst case, a shard of chaos.
– Chook
He advanced forward, cutting through the grass and vines that obscured his vision with his sword.
Creatures that you’ve never seen before sense the presence and run away.
It’s different from anything on Earth. We should consider it a native life form here.
I felt like I was losing my sense of direction because there were no landmarks in the identical trees, but I didn’t care.
Because there is no destination anyway.
Did you move around like that for a long time?
“Meow!”
“Ugh!”
I was able to find Nyangpen moving cautiously and wriggling.
He jumps up in surprise. He’s really scared anyway.
“Hey, hey! You damn Gongble-ai! Die! Die!”
“Ouch! Why are you hitting me? What did I do!”
“You’re trying to surprise me and assassinate me. I can’t die alone! I’ll have to reveal your true identity, sob sob!”
“Oh, that’s not it.”
First, I covered the guy’s mouth.
Where are you going to bury me from society?
Ah. Ah. Don’t step on it with your heels. Lethally.
We had a bit of a fight, but I’m glad we met.
“Are you one of those who entered the forest too?”
“I guess so?”
To some extent, the true Nyangpun nodded.
If Nyangpun and I are in the same situation, wouldn’t other guys be in the same situation?
Although their personalities are different, I think their basic tendencies are somewhat similar.
I wonder if my thoughts are correct.

– Rustle
Someone approached me, making noises so obviously that I had no intention of hiding it.
“Ahahahaha! You all are here!”
“Hey, be quiet. Is this your bedroom?”
“You have to let them know where you are so they can come looking for you.”
“What if monsters or strange people come? Their thoughts are as short as a hair’s breadth… Oh, no. Sorry.”

“It’s here! It’s here!”
The still cheerful bald man and the bullying licker were revealed.
It seems like they are not too far from each other. That’s why they are all gathered here.
It’s good news that everyone is gathered from the start. With this many elite members, we can overcome any danger.
Well then, I was sure of that.
The moment you take a step forward.
– Jjajajajajajak!
“You enter our territory without fear.”
“What brings you here, intruder?”
“If you give me an unconvincing reason, it won’t end well.”
“Put down your weapons and put your hands up. If you don’t want to turn into a hedgehog.”
Hooded figures appeared from nowhere and aimed their bows from the trees.
At most, a few dozen people.
The momentum I feel is unusual.
I didn’t even know it existed until it came out like that.
At least their stealth abilities are far superior to ours.
When I was about to look back to see if there was a way out.
– Push
An arrow was lodged at my feet.
A silent warning not to move.
I swallowed and carefully pointed to the members.
“Ha, haha. There’s some misunderstanding. As you can see, we’re not suspicious people.”
A moment of silence.
Passing glances.
A group of archers blink and look at us.
The members also look at him with expressions like, “Is this right?”
Silver hairtail. Chewy. Sparkling.
“ha.”
I don’t know. Whatever happens, happens.
He let out a small sigh and raised both hands.
I said it, but it didn’t seem convincing.
– Percussion
The one who appeared to be the leader of the group jumped down from the tree.
Light movement.
When he took off his hood, which was dyed green, perhaps for camouflage, his face was revealed.
Advertisements
Even at a glance, she was a beauty. That alone was enough to catch people’s attention, but what was even more surprising was that…
“…Elf?”
It was an elongated ear with hair sticking out.
An appearance similar to that of a commonly known elf.
She nodded, as if she wasn’t denying it.
Exercised power.
[Whika]
– An elf ranger who guards the sacred tree.
-He is the leader of the 1st Mobile Strike Group.
-I have a slight crush on you.
Liking me? When did you see me and say you like me?
“My name is Whikka.”
“Oh, yes. Nice to meet you.”
“I told you I wasn’t a suspicious person?”
I slightly averted my gaze. It was like I was confident but couldn’t be confident.
It would have been okay if these guys had just dressed properly.
There’s no need to get hurt. I didn’t come here for some other reason. I came here by chance.
“I don’t know what it may look like, but I don’t have any bad intentions. I’m not a weird person either.”
“I believe that.”
“yes?”
Why?
No, of course. That’s right.
“Please go inside. But just in case, you must return your weapon.”
As Whikka coolly turned his back and gestured, several rangers came down and grabbed our weapons.
And yet, he glances at me from time to time.
I’m glad you’re interested, but I can’t be completely happy.
‘Surely I’m not the weirdest thing here?’
No, I don’t think so.
I followed them with a strangely uneasy feeling.
* * *
The jungle was complex, and it was impossible for ordinary people to tell which direction they were moving.
We, who were awakened and our senses became more acute, were not much different.
I could only figure out the approximate route of movement, but even that wasn’t certain.
Rangers move into a position to surround us.
As they pass through the forest, those they meet also briefly salute them, as if they are not alone.
It seems to be running more systematically than expected.

“oh.”
“I see. It’s over there.”
A space where trees gradually diminish.
I could see a wall made of dirt. Beyond it, I could see a huge tree.
There were people standing guard at what appeared to be the entrance.
“I brought an outsider. Open the door.”
“Are you an intruder?”
“We’ll have to find out from now on.”
The sentry, who had been tilting his head at Whikka’s words, looked at me and nodded.
“Open the door!”
Gugugugu.
A door made of a large block of stone opens.
With that thickness, it seems like it would be stronger than an average iron wall.
furthermore.
– Wooooong
A magic circle was drawn on the stone gate and mud wall.
It looked like it had been magically processed. It was clearly much harder than it looked.
‘It feels similar to Daerimwon.’
Although the details were different, it seemed like an architectural style that was made to be friendly to nature.
Elves going about their normal daily lives. A few curious children wandered around, and those who appeared to be parents dragged their children away.
It appears to be a normal residential area.
As we went inside, we started to see larger buildings, and the place we were headed to was… .
“Elder, I have brought an outsider.”
“They are humans.”
It was a place where there was someone called an elder.
A woman with a face that makes it difficult to guess her age.
She was wearing a puffy blue one-piece dress and around it was.
‘government ordinance?’
Things that looked like spirits were floating around.
It seems to be a water spirit. It’s a cat with a slightly blue body.
I checked through the authority and it seems to be a low-level spirit.
‘It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you, spirit.’
Come to think of it, I didn’t see the spirits well on the tower. There are some that I have a connection with. I met the Snow Spirit Queen, and on the 45th floor, I saved the intermediate earth spirit Mobilidik that had fallen into the lake.
I was moved to another place with the fairy Chihirin, so I’m not sure if she’s doing well.
“There was a reason you brought the stranger here instead of killing him.”
Advertisements
“Yes. It feels familiar. And the crown too.”
“These kids are also welcoming.”
The water spirit that had been playing around the elder flies towards me and rubs its body against me.
Don’t rub your nose. You won’t be able to breathe.
I snapped my fingers to tell it to go away, but it found it funny and ran towards me even harder, giggling.
There’s no special reason for doing this.
[Title, the spirit’s friend rustles.]
That’s because I have a title.
The elder looked at the sight with a kind expression.
“I am Medi, the elder of this place. Welcome to the shadow of the sacred tree. You who wear the crown of the snow spirit queen.”
So that’s why.
As I cleared the World Tree Resurrection quest, my favorability with the elves and druids also increased.
There is a reason why they came out so friendly.
Let’s start with a statement.
“Nice to meet you. My name is Evil Eye. This is… … .”
“Please call me Bald Man!”
A guy who shouts out loud.
This guy’s been excited since he came in here.
You must be very lonely. When I go out, I will definitely set you up on a blind date within the next 10 years.
While I was looking at the guy with compassionate eyes, the other guys also introduced themselves.
“I’m a licker.”
“It’s a cat fun!”
He doesn’t seem to be very interested in the members.
All he did was just nod his head slightly.
Instead, their attention was focused on me.
“Evil Eye, what a wonderful name.”
Medi, who came forward, grabbed my hand.
Your eyes are burning. It’s a bit burdensome.
“It might be a bit awkward to say this when we first meet, but I have a favor to ask.”
“Uh, what? What is it?”
“Please give us that crown.”
Kwuuk.
The hand that held mine gained strength.
A feeling of pressure, as if one had been put into a press.
He was smiling brightly, but I’m not sure.
‘I don’t think it was right to take it easy this time either.’

I had a feeling that was coming.
They say ominous predictions are never wrong.
[Scenario on floors 74-76, World Tree covered in blood] [Chapter Ⅰ – Children of the Snow Spirits begin.]
An ominous scenario name came to mind just by looking at it.
