Episode 256 < Those who do not conquer the stage. (2) >
2.
[From now on, we will enter the 38th floor stage.]
The moment the tower’s voice rang out.
A change occurred in the hologram we were watching.
“Oh, look over there!”
The Heretic Questioner sighed and made his face.
Since I was sitting on the sofa, the only place for the Heretic Questioner to stick his head was the backrest of the sofa. The Heretic Questioner looked forward, clinging to the back of the sofa, like a child being hugged by his father.
“Something is sticking out of the sea surrounding the right side of the continent!”
It was just as the Heretic Questioner said.
The holographic video showed something huge rising from the deep sea.
“Ahaha! “It’s so f*cking huge!”
The Heretic Questioner was acting like a kid watching a monster movie.
However, the other colleagues gathered in the waiting room for the eliminated candidates were not excited.
The Black Dragon Master muttered in confusion on behalf of all of us.
“That one?”
[It] resembles a turtle with a long neck.
As he stood up, a wave swept away from his knees. The monster roared as it raised its long neck like a skyscraper, and its roar alone sent a tidal wave in all directions.
“It’s a dragon that has been sleeping in that world since the beginning.”
The princess walking through the mirage said.
The Black Dragon Master paused.
“… … dragon? A dragon appeared on the 37th floor, so will a dragon appear again on this floor?”
“huh. And in fact, that dragon is the true dragon… In your terms, it could be called a [constellation].”
The princess smiled brightly.
“You can think of the Red Dragon on the 37th floor as one of the apostles under that dragon!”
Gooooooooooo-
A monster burped in the middle of the sea.
thud!
Blue shell. Blue shell. The blue-eyed monster raised its huge paws and headed toward the shore.
thud!
Every time I took a step, an earthquake occurred. Coo! Coo! Without even taking a few steps, the monster had already escaped from the middle of the sea and was trampling on the sand of the beach. Coo! The last time the monster moved, it crushed the trees of the dense jungle like corn.
Gooooooooooo-
The monster shook the seawater off his head. Each drop of water that fell created its own pond. Kkeuk! The fish that lived in the sea, the crabs that roamed the beach, and the animals that hid in the jungle became entangled and fled. Wow! Squeak! The world became crowded with the sounds made by animals of land and water as they ran away.
[The constellation ‘The Dragon of the Deep Sea’ roars!]
Even if you just look through the screen.
“…….”
“……”
We were all speechless.
When you come face to face with a monster that is almost the size of the Korean peninsula, you tend to become quiet.
“hmm! “It’s difficult.”
Let me correct this.
Only Bambolina seemed to have something to say.
“I just checked my skill, Pantheon… “It’s really difficult!”
“That’s because it’s that size. “I can’t figure out what to do with human power.”
Bambolina shook her head at the count’s remark as if it were absurd.
“Of course size matters, but it’s not just about size! Rather, the problem lies with the nature of that constellation.”
okay.
There are different types of constellations. These types vary greatly, and simply being strong does not make a constellation. At least that’s what I know.
Uburka also did not become a constellation simply because she lifted a lot of dumbbells. Because Uburka overcame and overcame himself, he reached the constellation.
Born with congenital albinism, he had no choice but to be at enmity with the sun. However, U Burka learned Auror and overcame the sunlight by covering her entire body. limitations of the body. Limits of life. Whenever inevitable limits were pushed, Uburka overcame them by reconstructing flesh and bones into Aurors.
One who overcomes.
A person who rebelled against and eventually transcended everything: the world that gave birth to him, the sun that raised the world, and the life indebted to the sun. The constellation [Muscle Pig Dreaming of Invincibility] proved its will and thus earned the right to become a shining constellation in the night sky.
‘on the other side.’
That monstrous constellation was of a different type.
“If we were to classify that constellation, it belongs to the beginning!”
The beginning.
Nature.
A constellation that [constitutes] this world.
“Even that giant monster is not actually a body. “It’s nothing more than a kind of terminal, so to speak, a puppet that connects and controls consciousness!”
If we compare the main body of the constellation to a giant sea anemone, that monster is just a tentacle sprouting from it.
“Anyway, it’s almost impossible to fight and kill! Nevertheless, if you can find a way, hmm. “Rather than breaking that doll, wouldn’t the only way be to seal it, trap the Constellation’s consciousness inside it, and cause it constant pain to crush its consciousness?”
Glitter shuddered. Me too.
The method that Bambolina spoke of was almost the same as what happened to the Constellation Killer in the world where the teacher lived.
The Black Dragon Master, unaware of such circumstances, touched his chin.
“indeed. “It’s some kind of curse.”
“yes! In the first place, the medium was a doll. Counters have no choice but to be like that.”
“Yes, there is a way to deal with it. … But do you think the kids over there can use that method?”
“The idea itself is very easy. “The fact that the medium is a doll also means that it has its roots in primitive magic!”

As the story between the Black Dragon Master and the Heretic Questioner continued, someone crossed their arms.
He was a paladin.
“However, the question remains whether it is necessary to use such a method.”
“huh? “What do you mean?”
“If you listen to the Heretic Questioner’s story, that constellation seems to be the creator of that world. In other words, it was only possible for the inhabitants of that world to be born and live because of that constellation. Unless you are a madman with the belief that [constellations will never kill], is there no reason to be hostile to such a being?”
I shuddered. Glitter too.
Anyway, among my vassals, there was a person with such a history.
But whatever it was, the paladin’s point was sharp.
‘After all, a paladin.’
Before I returned.
Yan Emperor Yu Suha cleared just up to the 40th floor.
And since it was a world quest and not an individual quest for each race, I knew the contents of this floor.
“But the Creator is trying to destroy the world now, right?”
“You can refute this with the same logic, Black Dragon Master. Unless that constellation wants to commit suicide, there is no reason to destroy the world. “Isn’t it true that the inhabitants of that world have wreaked havoc on the entire world?”
This is still true.
‘Actually, even if it’s a mess, it won’t cause destruction.’
Salt Emperor.
In the past when Suha Yoo was climbing the tower, the continent had become so devastated that it could not even be compared to now.
Fanatic elves who worship the Flame Emperor as their god. Suha Yoo orders the elves to slaughter and conquer. This is because the race and the gods went crazy together and destroyed all races or used them as slaves.
‘Except for the designated tribe.’
But we’ll talk about the reason why those children were able to survive later. Anyway, the important thing right now is this.
‘That constellation will not destroy the world.’
only… … .
They just do something a little more nasty.
[The constellation ‘The Dragon of the Deep Sea’ roars!]
The jungle, beach, and sea shook.
The roar emitted by the dragon was so magnificent that it could be heard even on the opposite shore.
-The things that live on my skin!
-The races that flowed from my lungs!
-I am the great flow! Among the currents that play in the sky, earth, and sea, there is not one that does not originate from me.
-I am the flow, and the flow is me. He who can feel the flow, a priest who feels me, a person who knows how to use the flow, a warrior who uses me.
People all over the world turned their heads.
The designated people wrinkled their noses, the mountain people trembled their antennae, the fairies perked up their ears, the bird people opened their gills, the vampires flapped their wings, the pure people looked away, and the noble people looked away. Turned the single horn.
For a moment. In an instant.
Their noses, antennae, ears, gills, wings, eyes, and single horn were pointed in one direction, and on the other side of where they were heading, a gigantic monster lay prone. With my back foot on the sandy beach hit by the tsunami, and my front foot on the jungle swept away by the tsunami.
-… … That doesn’t make sense.
Bae Hu-ryeong crossed his arms and groaned.
-That turtle baby, that one. You just sent a ‘message’ as an ‘Auror’ to ‘all races’ living in this world, right?
It was just as Bae Hu-ryeong said.
The incredible wonder immediately reverberated throughout the continent.
[The pure race trembles in fear at the sound of an unknown voice!]
[The Saegi clan drops their scales at the sound of an unknown voice!]
[The designated tribe is alerted by an unknown voice!]
[The fairies are startled by an unknown voice!]
[The noble family’s mood suddenly worsens due to an unknown voice!]
[The vampire quickly falls asleep at the sound of an unknown voice!]
[The Sanwa people are startled by an unknown voice and finish their work.]
It’s literally chaos across the continent… … .
“The reactions are too varied to say that chaos has erupted… .”
what.
Why doesn’t everyone get scared and run away, fall to the ground, or cry?
‘It was like that when the Flame Emperor was climbing the tower… .’
Especially the vampires and mountain tribes. Why are the vampires suddenly falling asleep, and why are the mountain tribes doing what they were doing?
“…….”
I looked alternately at the Black Dragon Master and the Heretic Questioner on either side. Neither of them avoided my gaze; in fact, they were very confident.
“I told you, right? The vampires shared a room with the dream demons. We have just entered a tribal-level strategy meeting. “Unifying opinions before taking action is very, very, very important.”
Anastasia spoke casually, as if she were reciting the truth.
“We taught them to keep working if they don’t think they’re going to die right away! “If you swing the hammer one more time, your life will be more profitable!”
Bambolina said, smiling so brightly.
“indeed…….”
I couldn’t help but lament.
“Is this my best friend and subordinate…?” … .”
As I was looking at my personal relationships, the sound of clucking my tongue rang out.
-They really play with each other. Together. They are a match made in heaven.
Bae Hu-ryeong dug into his ear and looked at the hologram.
-So what is the flow that the turtle is talking about?
ah.
that.
‘I’m an Auror.’
-huh?
‘It’s revealed in the name of the constellation. It’s called Giryong (氣龍). Aura flows into the world through the breath that the constellation exhales.’
-Hoo.
If the Amazon rainforest is the lungs of the Earth, then that constellation can be said to be the lungs of the Aurors.
Bae Hu-ryeong wriggled his thick eyebrows.
-indeed. indeed. So the kids who live in that world are particularly good at learning Auror skills? Is there a lot more aura floating in the atmosphere compared to other worlds?
‘Yes.’
– That’s right.
Bae Hu-ryeong nodded as if he now understood everything.
– Well, even if you are really smart as an Auror, the speed at which goblins learn is unusually fast. Now I see that they are the world’s bastards, those bastards. huh? I know about silver spoons and gold spoons, but I never thought there would be an Auror spoon as well.
‘… … well. I’m not sure if that would be a very good spoon.’
-ok? why? If it’s easy to learn Auror, I’d definitely appreciate it, right?
‘…….’
I did not respond to Bae Hu-ryeong’s words.
-I send my blessings on your accomplishments!
Because the dragon reflected in the hologram roared again.
-You are truly my priests and warriors!
It was a word of recognition for the people who lived.
-But it’s a pity! Things that are neither my priests nor my warriors still walk over my body!
At the same time, it was a statement of denial.
-Even though so much time has been given, are there still so many ‘worthless people’?
A worthless person.
‘Those who cannot use aurors.’
Those who make up the majority of the world’s population are expressed in this way by the constellations that make up the nature of this world.
“…….”
Anastasia’s face darkened.
That kind of [use of words] was overly familiar to her as a refugee from Ukraine.
-I can no longer allow the worthless, who cannot receive or feel my breath, to spend resources that should go to the worthy.
As the air in the waiting room became heavier, the blue dragon shouted.
-Let’s start [Selection]!
at that time.
A voice rang in our heads.
[The 38th floor quest is displayed.]
Was the princess walking through the mirage considerate?
Even for those of us who had already been eliminated and had no right to participate in the quest, the details of the quest on the 38th floor came to mind.
+
[The Great Selection]
Difficulty: EX
Mission Objective: The constellations that have shaped this world since its beginning have awakened. The ‘dragon that dwells in the deep sea’ is a being made up of aurors, and for that reason, this world was richer in aurors than other worlds.
Now the machine dragon is about to reap the rewards of its prosperous times.
Those who cannot feel their own breath. A person who cannot use auras and cannot be detected. The machine dragon treats them as ‘worthless’ and wants to wipe them out of this world.
Among the races that originated from the continent’s mainland, Auror users will survive.
All who do not will die.
Save as many lives as you can!

And then there was silence.
