Episode 918
“hmm?”
As soon as Raon went up to the next floor, he tilted his head.
‘Is it a village?’
What spread out before my eyes was a huge coastal city with the scent of the sea blooming.
Many people were gathered on the beach, and the city itself was filled with cool vitality.
But there was a problem. It was as if time had stopped in the city, people were frozen like stone statues, the waves crashing onto the sandy beach did not move, and not even the clouds in the sky flowed.
‘What kind of trick is this time…’ uh?’
As Raon walked through the city, his eyes widened. As he looked around, he began to see buildings and people that looked strangely familiar.
‘This is Monty!’
I thought it was strange because it felt familiar from the beginning, but it felt right.
The city in front of him was Montiro, where he had lived for almost two months.
“Mo, Monty?”
“Damn! “Why is Montiro here!”
“ah… .”
Burren, Marta, and Runan also opened their mouths in surprise at the sight of Montiro suddenly popping out.
“Montiro is right. “Because I lived in that dorm.”
Trevin pointed to the inn on the right and let out a sigh.
“It may not be the real Montyro, but I think it’s true that he copied Montyro’s exterior exactly.”
Jaina, who saw Montiro on the map, nodded, saying it was the same as in reality.
“Why does time stop… .”
Mark Goeton stretched out his hand toward the seagull on the empty chair. As if the timeline had changed, his finger passed through the seagull without being able to touch it.
“That’s annoying! “Why do dirty riddles keep coming up!”
Martha gritted her teeth, saying she didn’t like it.
“It means you are blatantly wasting time.”
Buren chewed his lip in frustration.
“What kind of magic are you preparing?”
Dorian looked up and swallowed dry saliva.
“Let’s go inside first.”
Raon sighed briefly and went inside Montyro.
As I walked through the still city and looked around, I eventually arrived near the fountain.
“for a moment.”
I stopped the prosecutors walking to the fountain and looked at the ice cream shop on the right.
“Why are you doing that?”
“Did you find anything?”
Burren and Marta immediately looked away as if asking them to speak quickly.
“That person… .”
Raon raised his finger and pointed at the man inside the bead ice cream shop.
“I’m the one who saw it.”
“You saw it?”
“okay. “And today too.”
I can tell because I was constantly looking around while taking care of Lencia.
That man was the person who was buying ice cream when Operation <Lamp Awaken the Darkness> was halfway through.
“Then maybe… .”
Raon left the ice cream shop and ran to the fountain. As expected, Lencia was frozen alone in front of the fountain.
“Lencia… .”
Looking at Lencia closing her eyes as if she was enduring pain, it seemed like it was really the time after the operation was carried out.
“That family next to the fountain is the same one I saw earlier!”
Martha also trembled, saying that the people she saw today were over there.
“The kid I saved… .”
Runaan nodded, saying that she was protecting a child playing in the fountain.
“I guess… .”
Raon looked at the frozen sky and narrowed his eyes.
“I think it was the situation right before the demons attacked after the <Lamp that awakens the darkness> operation.”
This currently frozen world seemed to have been a time when the demons, who sensed something was wrong with the barrier, were moving to the place where the artifact of the Pentacle had been planted.
However, although all the people here were the same, they did not exist.
“Wait a moment.”
Raon let out a shaky breath and kicked the ground. From here, I moved to the upper left corner closest to me and headed in front of the statue of the five heroes guarded by Dorian and Crane.
Dorian and Crane were nowhere to be seen, but he could feel the artifact beneath the statue and the presence of the spirit magician Foreson approaching.
Sssssssssssssssssssssssssshhhh!
Raon cut off Foreson’s head with the Jecheon Sword, but the guy did not die. The sword just passed through him as if he were in another dimension.
-It’s hard to stop you physically, so it seems like they’re trying to waste time like this.
Lars shook his head, saying it would take a long time.
‘Maybe not.’
After Raon ate his appetite, he moved to the other side, to the upper right.
‘There is Morel Kazan.’
Unlike Dorian and Crane, Morel Kazan and his subordinates who left with Karun were present here.
‘If you do this, you’ve found the answer.’

Raon looked at Morel Kazan, who was standing still, with calm eyes.
-You got the answer? Have you solved the riddle already?
‘okay.’
I nodded and went back to the fountain.
“Have you found out anything?”
Burren stepped forward and lowered his head.
“Like I said at the beginning… .”
Raon reached out to the hardened water in the fountain and quenched his appetite.
“This is about 30 minutes after we activated <Lamp that awakens the darkness>. “It was the moment when the demons moved to destroy the artifact.”
“Oh, then… .”
Jaina widened her eyes as if she now understood.
“that’s right. “You just have to make that situation the same.”
Raon nodded, sending Runan and Marta to the fountain.
“So do other people. “Please go to the original place.”
He stretched out his hand and told me to go in the direction he was in when the operation was carried out.
“But you don’t have Morel Kazan.”
Trevin shook his head and asked what to do with Morel.
“That person is already here. “We just need to get a seat.”
It was an answer that could be given because it was confirmed that Morel Kazan was here. If the Gwangpungjeon swordsmen return to their original positions, this world will also move.
“Run with all your might.”
Raon waved his hand at the Gwangpungjeon swordsmen, shouting to them to move as quickly as possible.
“Well, how do we…” .”
Jaina and the wizards rolled their eyes as if they didn’t know what to do.
“You were at headquarters at the time, so please wait here.”
After telling Raon to stay back, he sat down next to Lencia.
Jijijijijik!
After a few minutes, a black crack appeared in the air, and the stopped world began to flow again.
With all the Gwangpungjeon swordsmen in their seats, it seemed like the mystery of this floor had been solved.
-That was really the correct answer.
Lars clapped his hands in surprise.
“it’s okay… .”
Runaan clenched his fists.
“Anyway, our Jeonju head is working well!”
Marta raised her finger, saying she did well.
-It’s true. I don’t know about anything else, but this one head is the best.
Lars also nodded in agreement.
“It’s not over yet.”
Raon looked around and narrowed his eyes. Her mystery has been solved, but she has not yet been able to kill this floor’s owner. He has to kill the guy so he can move up.
‘Where is it?’
As I was about to unfold my spirit to find the floor beam, an exit to the upper floor suddenly appeared from under the fountain.
“exit?”
“Is it okay not to grab the floor beam?”
Runan and Marta said they were amazed and tried to approach, but the two were unable to approach the fountain and bounced off. It felt like I was in another dimension, like when time stopped.
“what?”
Raon reached out to Runan and Marta, but was unable to grab them. On the other hand, Jayna next to her could be touched without any interference.
“What and how…” .”
While Raon was frowning, Calop and Felix, who had died below, jumped out and rushed towards Runan and Marta.
“Why are the dead people here?”
“Same… .”
Marta and Runaan frowned as they blocked Calop and Felix’s attacks. It seemed to have the same power as when fighting below.
-Not just here.
Lars looked to the right and left and shook his head.
-Those who went to other places are also being attacked by the same people.
The guy lowered his chin, saying that the demons were attacking just as they had during the operation.
‘I need to find the floor pillar… .’
Raon tried to open the kigi, but he couldn’t feel the presence of floor beams. It seemed like it was hiding somewhere out of sight.
“go!”
As I was spreading my energy wider to find the floor pillar, Runaan raised her voice.
“This is us.”
She nodded and told me to leave this place and go up first.
“You spoke well for the first time today!”
Martha grinned as she pushed Felix’s spear away.
“There is no time to wait! Go first! “We will rip out the head of the mole hiding here!”
Like Runaan, she also raised her finger to go up to the next floor.
“… … .”
Unlike when we fought outside, this is now the inside of the Black Tower.
I couldn’t easily step down because I was worried about what the owner of the floor here might do.
“Jeonju, go!”
“You made me go through that damn training for a time like this!”
“Please trust us!”
The Gwangpungjeon prosecutors seemed to understand his feelings and patted his chest, telling him to trust them.
Kuwaaaa!
Perhaps others felt the same way, as magnificent sword energy rose into the sky from the direction of the artifact.
“i get it. then… .”
Raon looked at the Gwangpungjeon prosecutors with eyes filled with trust.
“Please follow me without delay.”
After telling him to chase after me at all costs, he went up to the next floor.
“Are you really going?”
Jaina followed behind her and swallowed dry saliva.
“If it were the head of the upper floor with enhanced demonic energy, he could kill them all!”
She kept looking back, as if she felt uneasy about being scattered.
“That’s what the enemy wants. “I stay and waste my time.”
It took too much magical energy to bind even the transcendental person, so it was clear that the floor owner here gave him a choice and opened a way for him to escape.
“I know that, but the rest… .”
“He doesn’t know like you do. “The faith and will of the prosecutors I raised.”
He let out a faint smile without looking back.
“They never betray my trust. And me too.”
Raon climbed the stairs with unstoppable steps for the sake of his subordinates who trusted him.
* * *
Chamber narrowed his eyes as he looked at the black, shiny black tower.
‘You must be doing well, right?’
Raon and Karun have both escaped the beginning of transcendence. Even if the inside of the tower is extremely demonic, you will be able to reach the top floor without difficulty.
‘Of course it will take some time.’
The Black Tower are guys who use a lot of ugly tricks that go beyond their strength of arms. Even if you were a transcendental person, it was inevitable that a lot of time would be wasted.
‘Karun aside, I never thought Raon would grow to this level.’
The first time I saw Raon was at the Six Emperors’ Meeting. At first, I thought he was just a kid with a good-looking face, but to be honest, even now, I couldn’t believe that he had risen to the level of transcendence and was at the forefront of the operation to annihilate the Black Tower.
‘What’s even greater is… .’
Not now, but in the future.
Raon was growing even at this moment. Even though he was at the top of the transcendental ranks, he had no idea how strong Raon would become.
‘If I survive here, I might really be able to deal with the Emperor of Comedy and the Lord of the Demonic Spear.’
Chamber smiled slightly as he remembered Raon after the war.
‘But I survived… .’
As I was thinking about the future, the Black Top Lord came to mind and I suddenly felt uneasy.
‘I don’t know what he’s thinking.’
Even though he was suppressing it, the demon energy of this dimension was being sucked into the top layer of the Black Tower like a river with a broken bank. The more my demonic energy became concentrated, the more stuffy my chest became, as if I was feeling empty.
“Whoa… .”
Chamber chewed his lip as he cut a large amount of demon energy into another dimension.
“request. “Get to him as quickly as possible.”
* * *
After being separated from the Gwangpungjeon swordsmen, Raon broke through five more floors.
There were times when I fought a high-ranking lord with wings in the sky where there was nothing to step on, and there were times when I fought a silent war with an assassin in the darkness where I could not see an inch ahead.
No matter how much of a transcendent he was, he would have had a difficult fight fighting in the enemy’s home, but thanks to his strengthened energy, he was able to cut down the upper level lords without much difficulty and quickly move up.
“I knew the Transcendant was strong, but I didn’t expect it to be this overwhelming… .”
Jaina shook her head as if she was astonished at her own powerlessness as she cut down the upper floor pillars one after another.
“It’s not just that power.”
Raon calmly lowered his hand. As he climbed the floors, his energy was also increasing. Because she became stronger than the demons, she was able to cut down the demons without wasting time.
‘Actually, what we’ve figured out so far is more important than cutting down the demons.’
To go up to the next floor, you must kill the owner of that floor or receive permission from the floor owner.
Even if it seemed like there was no one on the floor, the floor owner was hiding somewhere and watching, so I had to find him.
Although the situation continues to be unfavorable in many ways, thanks to Magi, I have been able to move up without any major problems by using my amplified power and little by little accumulated information.
‘It will be over soon… .’
Based on his calculations, it seemed like there were only a few floors left until the top floor. As I climbed the last stairs, hoping to reach the end, a narrow space like a sparring hall appeared, unlike before.
‘What is it here?’
There was another entrance to the left of the entrance you came up from, and an exit to go up was visible on the opposite wall. However, it was closed very tightly so that it could not be opened.
‘The floor manager… .’
I don’t feel it either.
The floor pillar on this floor seemed to be hiding itself due to the characteristics of a black tower, and there was no sign of it anywhere.
Based on my experience so far, it seemed like the floor owner here would appear at the moment when he could kill me.
“hmm.”
Raon frowned and slashed his sword towards the exit.
Hahaha!
Although the power amplified by demon energy was used with all its might, there was not even the slightest scratch on the door.
I tried hitting the wall just in case, but the same thing happened. Unlike the maze, it seemed to be made of condensed magic energy and could not be destroyed.
“Then what should I do…” .”
While Raon was frowning with his arms crossed, he heard someone’s footsteps next to the entrance he came up from.
‘no way… .’
When I turned my attention to the familiar sound of footsteps, Karun walked out from the left entrance. Like a transcendent man, he nodded to himself without even a trace of his clothes disturbed.
“Gwangpung Jeonju?”
Karun also raised his eyebrows as if surprised that he was staying here.
“I wonder if someone isn’t Mine… .”
Raon let out a deep sigh as he looked at the tightly closed exit and the sparring-like space.
“You have a dirty personality.”
