Episode 465: Take this guy himself?
I’ve been through a lot of things while climbing the tower, but I never thought I’d get kidnapped in a dungeon.
The moment I reached out my hand towards the licker, the space changed.
What kind of dungeon is changing its location on its own? To be exact, it felt something from me and this phenomenon occurred.
What part is it?
It’s not that there isn’t some part that can be guessed.
“I think it’s because of this.”
An item received in exchange for lifting Belzart’s curse.
[Giant’s Tomb Key]
-The ancient giant warrior Belzat was the guardian of the tomb of a great hero.
-Even though he was corrupt, he still had the key.
-You can enter the tomb of Helgreat, the hero of the great giants.
This is a dungeon where many heroes of the past are buried.
The key I had was an item that allowed me to enter the tomb of one of them, Helgreat.
In other words… … .
“The Giant’s Dungeon is a comprehensive dungeon that contains other lower dungeons.”
“Yeah.”
For a dungeon, it had some rather unusual features.
Because it was inhabited by NPCs called administrators, not anyone else.
Perhaps because the space had changed, there were no people around me who looked like managers.
Should I say that it is correct to say that there is no sign of life at all?
But when I first went in, I think there was a device installed to secure the field of vision, whether it was a torch or a glowstone.
Of course, since we had night vision, darkness wasn’t a big limitation.
“Hmm.”
I walked slowly down the hallway, scanning the walls.
A piece of dirt that sticks to your fingertips.
It feels abandoned. When I check the path I took, only my footprints are clearly visible on the hallway piled up on the floor.
This means that no one, including the administrator, has been here for a long time.
The giant’s tomb may be larger than we thought. That means there will be some space left unattended.
What if that’s not the case?
“You entered a place that was restricted from entry.”
There was also a possibility that they had entered a restricted area designated by the administrator.
I hope that’s not the case. Oh my, ominous guesses are never wrong.
-Percussion
Timing beyond a certain interval.
[The Forgotten Giants have entered the tomb.] [Eternal time and thoughts are bound to be buried.] [Do not disturb the peace of the ancient beings.]
“Oh, really, why are you doing this to me?”

Should I go back now?
I glanced back, but I couldn’t see the road. That’s understandable, because the end of the hallway in the distance was blocked.
It is unclear whether it collapsed due to the ravages of time or whether it was deliberately destroyed.
Probably the latter, judging by the message that pops up saying something about forgotten giants.
furthermore…….
-Woooooooooo
The key I’m holding is vibrating slightly.
This must be a hint that this is the right direction. The one who brought me here must be the owner of the key.
The ancient hero, Helgreat.
Should I at least talk to the licker in the community?
I thought about it for a moment, but then shook my head.
“If only Gregory hadn’t been there.”
NPCs can get a glimpse into the climber’s community.
Then you would realize that I am a petit gongdu. I didn’t want to do that, even for the sake of human dignity.
I was planning to stop by here too, although it was a bit tricky.
The destination is there.
“It’s good because it’s easy to find.”
At the end of the hallway, an arched door came into view.
A place that may have been used as a door in the past, but is now blocked by bricks.
One unique feature is that there is a small groove in the center.
I brought the key and it fit perfectly.
-Click
The key turns by itself even though I didn’t turn it.
[The ancient hero, Helgreat, calls you.]
-Kwarrrrung!
Swish!
The bricks blocking the door quickly crumbled and the force I felt engulfed me.
A brick that is restored as soon as it is sucked inside.
Are you saying that only people with keys are allowed in?
It was a mysterious phenomenon, but I didn’t pay much attention to it. The tower is a place where anything can happen at any time without it being strange.

Instead, I became more vigilant.
A dull colored cavity, just like the hallway.
The murals that filled the interior caught my eye.
“This is.”
I knew what it was at first sight.
Although I had never seen a mural about prophecy, I had heard many stories about it.
Advertisements
I also saw a familiar picture.
tower.
“Is this part of the prophecy?”
Were there not just one but several murals depicting the prophecy?
I had that thought, but soon I could tell that something was different.
It is true that the tower is drawn.
A scene was also depicted of black rain falling.
There were no lakes or meteors, but instead, there was a representation of something that sounded like it was crying in the sky.
It was drawn so simply that I almost missed it, but its true identity was… … .
“It’s Delburton, isn’t it?”
“Ugh.”
Deokchun nods his head, as if he thinks the same.
I can confirm this by seeing it in person. It is Delverton. Judging by its shape, it seems to be a fragment of chaos.
At his feet lay countless dead giants, and the world, polluted by black rain, was like hell.
A ruined world.
I focused on the mural painted across from it.
“Is this an expression of challenging the top?”
There was no separate text or explanation written, but that’s what it felt like.
There was a Delburton in perfect condition, and I don’t know who was next to him.
The owner of this tomb was probably Helgreat.
A halo painted on the top of the tower and something illuminating the world.
It was hard to figure out the exact meaning, but it had a sublime feel to it. It also had a mysterious shape.
-Kururururung
As I was admiring it for a while, I heard a vibration sound.
A coffin placed in the middle of a tomb.
When light streamed from a place made of thick rock, something or other, a spirit or something, appeared.
He had a bushy beard and sloppily draped clothes. His disheveled hair strangely resembled a lion’s mane.
“I called out to you because I felt a familiar aura. But you don’t look familiar to me, climber.”
“You called me here?”
It is a whitish object that is no different from a ghost, but it has a strong presence.
Even now, it feels like you can touch it if you press it. I guess that’s somewhat true because every time the guy twists his body, some rocks nearby fall down.
“Delverton, that was the spirit of my old friend. And the chaos you have is also like that. It is not something you should have here.”
“That’s your standard, Hellgreat.”
“Do you know me?”
I shrugged at his question.
Advertisements
What do you know, it’s just our first meeting.
Thanks to that, I know one thing. The guy didn’t invite me. He called me over because he thought I was Delverton.
There is one reason.
“You said you were looking for Delverton? I did meet him. So I guess you were mistaken.”
“… Did you meet Delberton?”
“uh.”
Stand up. The guy who had been standing still for a moment gets up.
Gugugugugu!
The presence grows stronger and the cavity resonates.
“Don’t lie! If you saw Delverton, you’d be dead already! You wouldn’t have seen him. Don’t insult my friend!”
A shout that rings out loud.
The power contained within might have caused some to lose their minds, but it wasn’t much of a threat to me, who had mental protection that surpassed my innate level.
My ears just hurt a little.
He frowned and covered his ears.
“What a strange guy. You said you called me earlier thinking I was Delverton. You’re saying there’s no way you’ve seen me now.”
“There is something you don’t know. The possibility that, by some chance, you may not have lost yourself. I believe it. May Delverton return. May he escape from the shards of chaos!”
“I think it’s a little late.”
I waved the chaos sword in front of him.
First of all, we know that this guy and Delverton know each other.
It is also true that he is an ancient hero, so much so that he can be classified as a forgotten giant.
However, I don’t think we know what happened to Delberton.
“Delverton has become a shard of chaos. He has destroyed a world, and he continues to do so from within the tower.”
What I experienced at Framberg.
It wasn’t a very good memory, but it was also a place that served as a warning to me.
Because I learned how far a world on the brink of destruction can be ruined, and how tenacious the end is.
It is also where I first caught a piece of chaos.
The Chaos Sword was also made from leftover materials from Delburton.
“This is, this is… this is ridiculous… … .”
“How long have you been stuck here?”
There is some degree of connection between NPCs, but this guy seems to have none at all.
The guy who was staring at the Chaos Sword trembled.
“… Isn’t this a trick to deceive me?”
“What are you talking about since you called me earlier?”
I scratched my head. Did I come to the wrong place? I came here hoping to get something, but all I got was a crazy ghost.
Considering that he can affect reality that much with just his spirit body, he must be quite a strong spirit. Don’t people with high spirit bodies usually not get affected?

I don’t know. There are always exceptions. Just think of it as stepping in shit and get out.
I slowly walked away, avoiding the eyes of the guy who seemed confused and restless as he floated around.
“No way. No, it was unlikely, but still… Did it turn out as predicted?”
Just as I was about to leave the guy who was talking to himself,
-Shooaaaah!
“Eww, shit!”
He stuck his face out at me.
Is it because of the soul? The neck stretches on its own.
I just got goosebumps.
The guy asked with a serious expression.
“Did it rain black rain?”
“Oh, it came down.”
“Is Delverton in his right mind?”
“Well, for now?”
I don’t know if it’s still like that now though.
Wait a minute, come to think of it. That guy Delverton told me to go to the giant’s tomb too.
And I also met a guy who had a connection with Delverton, whether it was coincidence or not. Even though he was in a spirit state.
Considering these circumstances, what is the current trend?
“Climber, please do me a favor.”
[Peace to the Forgotten Hero – Breaking Quest]
-The ancient hero Helgreat wants to save his old friend and comrade, Delverton.
-The price of the noble sacrifice was catastrophic and the consequences were dark.
-I want to bring peace before the darkness deepens further.
-Block Delverton’s Chaos Fragmentation (0/1)
-Reward:??? (Depending on how you complete the quest.)
It’s been a while since I’ve received a quest.
The reward is not certain, but as the quest information says, he is an ancient hero.
If you like the clear conditions, you can get something pretty good, right?
“Destruction has finally come again. I owe him a debt of gratitude. It is time for me to stop suffering.”
Even as I was contemplating whether or not to accept the quest, Helgreat continued to speak.
“Even though I can’t see it, I wish Delverton could get out of that damn tower and enjoy a little peace. If it hasn’t been shattered yet, there’s a chance. Do me a favor.”
What should I do?
So there’s nothing wrong with that, but if you ask me if there’s anything good about it, I’m not sure.
No. To be exact, if you can accept this quest and clear it, there are many good points.
You get the reward as reward, and if you block Delton in the process… … .
‘The black rain has stopped. This is practically the end of the chapter.’
Advertisements
This was important.
The question is whether you can do it or not.
I rolled my head. This quest. No matter how much I thought about it, I had a strong feeling that it was guided by Delverton.
In other words.
‘Delverton also asked me to stop him.’
The method is here, with Helgreat.
I need to get more information from him. A way to stop him, Delverton’s weakness, a useful weapon or item, or something else…
“Whew. I wish I could see that guy.”
…Should I take this thing itself?
