Episode 367 Church of the Dead (4)
White skin and black horns.
The appearance of a mischievous child is impressive.
Demon.
Judging by the length of the horns, he was a high-ranking noble, equivalent to a higher rank.
“Hehe, it looks like all the people you rarely see here are gathered here.”
“How dare demons tell me where this is!”
Athena immediately aimed her spear and shield.
The white magical power rotated fiercely as if trying to pierce through the enemy who entered their territory without warning.
“stop.”
However, Zeus’s intention could not be achieved with a single gesture.
“……father?”
“It’s funny that the demon world came all the way here. So what happened?”
“It is an honor to be welcomed by the highest god of Olympus. My name is Mashed. I am a demon who serves the great demon king Guntafer.”
The boy bowed deeply to show respect.
If he is at the level of a demon king, he is an absolute being that even other gods cannot look down upon.
That messenger came all the way here… … .
The corners of Zeus’ mouth turned up subtly.
“Tell us. Why do you want to meet us?”
“I would like to propose a formal alliance between Olympus and the Demon World.”
“……!?”
alliance.
The unexpectedly loud words froze the surroundings.
Until now, cooperation among the major powers at the top has been impossible due to each other’s values and interests.
They have accepted it as their destiny to kill and kill until one survives.
In particular, the rule that all crowns must be collected by one force pushed everyone to the limit.
however.
I never thought the most insidious demon world would be the first to propose an alliance.
“Hoo.”
Zeus tapped his fingers on the table.
“Are you interested?”
“First of all, I’m curious why you want to form an alliance.”
“To be honest, we were not interested in an alliance with Olympus either. However, after starting the war against Ragnarok, Eden also began to move in earnest. We had no choice but to respond.”
Eden is in principle neutral toward all powers except the Demon World.
However, due to the expansion of Olympus’ territory and Kizakiel’s rebellion, unusual movements began to be detected.
In order to restore internal solidarity and balance the forces, they attacked the demon world.
“It means that we are needed to keep Eden in check.”
“It’s not a bad offer, is it? Zeus is currently unable to use one of his strongest cards because he is busy keeping Eden in check.”
“…….”
It’s definitely painful not to be able to bring Hercules to the battlefield.
If only the strongest demigod were there, the last ruins of Jotunheim would have already fallen.
Even though they took control of the northern region of Ragnarok, the fact that they were unable to take control of the most important base and wasted time was the harsh reality faced by Olympus.
however.
“I think it would be too much to form an alliance just for that reason. I can handle Eden as much as I can. Jotunheim could also be taken if I just spend a little more time.”
Zeus flatly rejected the demon world’s offer.
Negotiations break down.
What this meant was the death of the messenger who delivered the proposal.
Pazzutz!
Zeus’ unique sacred spear, ‘Astrape’, radiated brilliance beyond imagination.
If it were the strongest spear that could pierce even the devil’s spirit, then nobles would disappear into nothing but a handful of ashes.
however.
Masheed, who should have been trembling in fear or running away, was still standing there.
“Would we have proposed an alliance just because of Eden?
In those words,
“…….”
Suddenly, Zeus’ hand stopped.
Mashid accepted it as an extension of the conversation.
“Hwanwoong and Izanagi met at ‘Baekrokdam’ this morning.”
Baeknokdam.
It is a sacred place where a huge source of magical power flows, and at the same time, it is a conference hall where hundreds of gods can gather.
“That’s funny. Is it such a big deal that those two bastards got together?”
“It’s not just the two. Hundreds of gods have gathered around those two. Of course, it may seem insufficient compared to the power of Olympus, but it is an undeniable fact that it is a burden.”
The relatively weak Asian deities were building a huge union.
This means that we will not be defeated in terms of individual strength, but we will not be defeated in quantity.
It was the first time Zeus had heard of hundreds of gods gathering in secret.
Moreover, the problem does not end here.
“If this happens, it won’t be long before the forces on the late 40th floor also move. They will also see this upheaval as an opportunity. In particular, I heard that the lizards that are trying to devour the entire floor have even found their apostle this time.”
Dragons occupying the 46th floor of the tower.

Aside from the 49th floor, there was no guarantee that the 47th and 48th floors would also remain still.
“Are you saying that this incident was the catalyst…?”
“That’s right. A second war is about to break out after the First World War.”
Variables and variables came together to create a fuse.
“So, shouldn’t we form a strong alliance and look after each other?”
“……Go back and bring the demon king level person back with you. We’ll talk about it.”
Zeus made a decision.
For the hegemony of the tower.
A huge war cloud began to swirl around again.
＊＊＊
It took less than two hours for Jinhyuk to meet the master of the thieves guild.
This was thanks to the steady contact with the superiors using the ‘bast face ball’.
“No, that doesn’t make sense….”
O’Brim Venta.
As a master of the thieves’ guild for 30 years, he had to feel that all of his common sense was collapsing.
This is because Jinhyeok, who had disguised his face as his subordinate just a moment ago, was completely shocked.
Only dragons can ‘polymorph’.
However, there was no sense of discomfort in the sight of seeing a colleague I had known for 30 years.
The disguise was that perfect.
Jinhyuk threw his bushy bearded face to the floor.
“The pyramid-shaped dot system may be good at keeping secrets, but… it always has blind spots. I will soon use your face in this way.”
Even if the Master is attacked, the fact itself does not spread.
The best thing is that as long as you maintain the shell, you can manipulate the entire guild at will.
“Kaaaa! You rotten bastards!”
Of course, Benta, who had everything taken away from him, couldn’t stay still.
As a master of a guild, Venta drew a pair of daggers and moved his body dizzyingly.
A speed so fast that it is difficult to capture with the eye.
However, Cheon Yu-seong, who was waiting next to him, was reading Benta’s movements perfectly.
Just in time for the moment your leg lands… … .
Suddenly!
Cheon Yoo-seong’s sword cut between two tracks.
“……big……hundreds of millions?”
With that, everything in the Thieves Guild fell completely into Jinhyeok’s hands.
“What are you going to do now?”
Cheon Yu-seong brushed off the blood from his sword and asked Jin-hyuk.
“We have to disrupt the information and save Teresa in the meantime.”
Since you have taken advantage of the thieves guild with the most information, you don’t have to worry about the rest of them getting involved.
Only one.
‘It will be difficult to avoid the contact between the Church of the Dead and Sloth.’
Although it takes a long time, the sloth has the ability to track down prey once it has captured it.
The special ability lasts approximately 6 hours.
It’s exactly around midnight.
‘Is there about 3 hours left now? … .’
You have to hurry to reach the gray forest.
“Frey. Tell Master and Abraham where we are going.”
“Yes… I will do that.”
“Yuseong. You leave right away with me.”
“Okay, I understand.”
Everyone moved towards their assigned place.
＊＊＊
gray forest.
This is an area where the sun does not shine properly due to the dense environment.
“shit…….”
Faden sighed deeply.
Although they came here confidently declaring that they would conquer the 20th floor, the raiding party was attacked by fanatics and was reduced to rags.
I don’t know where things started to go wrong.
In the beginning, it was nice to be able to secure the access roads and bases.
After all, was it a mistake to forcefully try to enter the mine?
Or, are you saying that the failure to recruit stronger rankers was a failure?
‘I thought it wouldn’t be easy, but I never thought it would be destroyed even though I gathered all my strength.’
If the 20th floor is this strong, how strong is the 30th floor?
The fear of the Tower of Trials once again struck me.
However, the important thing now is not to pick up water that has already spilled.
I have to think about getting out of here alive right now.
Paydon looked around.
There are a total of seventeen survivors.
The strongest among the raiders, including Teresa, survived.
‘The only ones that are okay are Teresa and I.’
For the rest, their magic power and stamina were so depleted that even holding up their own bodies seemed difficult.
Right then.
“Mr. Paydon.”
Teresa, who had been diligently caring for the injured, approached.
“……Yes. Please tell me.”
“First of all, I mainly treated those who were in an emergency. However, I also lacked magical power, so all I did was provide first aid.”
“Thank you for your hard work. Well, now we have to start again.”
Faden took up his weapon.
I took a quick breather, so I had to quickly pass through this forest and get out on the other side.
This is because the insect-type monsters that thrived due to the high humidity were eagerly targeting the attack group at this very moment.
“Huh? We’re leaving? But the injured people haven’t recovered enough to move yet. We need to rest for at least a few more hours…”
Teresa, who was speaking, flinched when she saw Payden’s expression.
There was not a trace of sympathy for his colleague visible from his cold, stiff expression.
“Are you really saying that you are going to throw away all these people?”
“It means that those who will live must live. Besides, isn’t it true that we need excellent people, not weak people, to climb the tower in the future? Even for the future of humanity.”
The future of humanity?
Teresa clenched her fists.
My nails dug into my palms, but I didn’t feel any pain.
“……You don’t want to bury this incident, do you?”
They probably didn’t want it to be known that the reason the raid failed was because of the guild’s desire to monopolize the magicite rather than for the sake of humanity.
okay.
Faden just wants to avoid all this responsibility.
For that to happen, all witnesses must disappear.
“Think what you want. If you decide to stay rather than go, I won’t stop you.”
Without hesitation, Faden turned and disappeared towards the other side of the forest.
OK.
“Keeeeee!”
“Keeee!”
As if he had been waiting. Insects that were hiding began to appear one by one.
Now that the most troublesome prey has abandoned the rest, it’s time to hunt in earnest.
“Hey, Teresa! Monsters are coming!”
“Where on earth is the engineering captain?”
The abandoned engineering team members urgently looked for Teresa and Payden.
‘We can’t abandon these people.’
No matter how plausible the justification, he had no intention of continuing his life with the blood of his colleagues.
Even if,
Even if the result of that choice is your own death.
[Unique ability… … .]
Warm starlight fell from the sky.
The faint light created by squeezing out the insufficient magical power melted along Teresa’s blonde hair.
[‘Star’s Protection’ is activated!]
The saint drew out her sword and shield.
Standing at the front as if covering everyone.
