Episode 359 < The sky gathers screams. (1) >
One.
This isn’t the first time.
I have already encountered pillars several times. I attended a meeting where the pillars were located. So when the voice in the tower whispered, “I request a majority meeting from the Six Pillars,” I wasn’t particularly embarrassed.
“—–Please wake up. “Death King.”
This time, I will wake up in the dark underworld.
That’s what I was thinking.
“Are you planning on lying down like this? I encourage you to get up quickly. I want you to come to your senses first and be polite. Until then, I have no intention of inviting the duke here.”
A familiar voice rang in my ears.
“…….”
I blinked my eyelids. Little by little, my vision became clearer. Just like a windshield of a car dirty with yellow dust was wiped with a wiper.
There stood a dark-haired beauty with elegant eyebrows.
“Have you finally opened your eyes?”
I had no choice but to say that he was a beautiful person.
She was looking down at me with her head down. Clear eyes. Indifferent eyes. Lips that are simply closed, without any stubbornness, wandering thoughts, or self-display. As if she was trying to reject and push away everything that was white and gray in this world, she wore pure black clothes.
Somewhere.
It was definitely the clothes, lips, and eyes I had seen somewhere before.
I paused for a moment to recall the name of that black light.
“… … Guguha (久違河)… … Advisor?”
She nodded.
“yes. That is my nickname.”
The chin made no sound. Is that why? Even gravity and even a speck of air seemed to be absent for a brief moment in the area where her chin clenched.
“I don’t think it would be right to say hello, it’s my first time meeting you. Death King. “I know from the Duke that you possessed my body, even if only for a short time.”
“ah… … .”
Yes.
I have been to a kingdom, the world of Topju Amethyst. Even though it was a visit amidst trauma.
At that time and there, I was possessed by a person. She is a woman with her hands neatly folded right in front of her. She was Baron Salvador.
I used to be her. That’s why I felt a sense of déjà vu as soon as I saw this dark-haired woman.
“My duke is indebted to me.”
Baron Gu Guanha bowed.
The person Gu Ha-ha calls ‘Duke’ is probably ‘Duke Kaleidoscope’. It was another nickname referring to the owner of the tower.
“Ah yes. no. you’re welcome… .”
I had a strange feeling.
I can’t believe I’m facing the face that was once [me] from the front.
“But why did you…” . Well, I’ll call you Baron. Why is the Baron greeting me? “I was called to the meeting of the pillars.”
“… … “I heard that you are a very perceptive person.”
Baron Gu Guanha straightened his back and tilted his head.
“Does anything come to mind when you hear my voice?”
“yes?”
uh.
“I thought it was a voice I had heard before. “It feels familiar somehow.”
“Is that so. “It would be easier to help you understand if I told you in person.”
Baron Gu Guanha quietly looked at me.
It was that moment.
[test.]
[Play voice.]
[The current message has no separate meaning other than playing a voice.]
I was surprised. My mouth opened wide.
“uh? Uh oh… … . Huh?!”
“I would like to formally greet you once again.”
Baron Gu Guanha lowered his head, completely unaffected by my astonishment.
“I am Baron Ku Guo-ha, a vassal of the Duke of Mangekyung, Sokmun, second advisor, and noble who was given the eleventh cup by the Sun King. My real name is Miya. “Please call me Baron Gohan.”
The voice coming from beneath my bowed head was exactly the same as the voice I had heard countless times while climbing the tower – the so-called [Tower’s voice].
2.
“No, wait… … .”
I stuttered. I heard a long self-introduction from Baron Goo Gu-ha, but honestly, there was only one thought that came to my mind.
“The voices coming from the tower… … . It’s not something that runs automatically by the system, I guess…”
“yes. “It’s handmade.”
“Ehh!”
It was amazing!
“It’s manual work… . Everything? No, I’m not the only hunter who hears Top’s voice. There are so many! Every time every hunter learns a skill or climbs a stage, they will hear a voice… … .”
“It’s all handmade.”
“Nonsense!!”
“Well, that actually makes sense.”
Baron Goo Gu-ha kept an expressionless expression the entire time.
“The time that passes in your world is different from the time that passes here. From your perspective, it is safe to say that time has stopped here. Death King. “For you, it may be an incident that occurred simultaneously, but for me, it is just a task that can be solved one by one.”
“I think I have to respond to hunters thousands, tens, hundreds of thousands of times a day… … !?”
“Yes, but.”

The Baron tilted his head as if nothing had happened.
“Is there something wrong?”
Either way, there is only one problem.
“The height of cost and inefficiency… … .”
“Inefficiency ultimately occurs when time and space are limited. Here you can control time as you wish and observe other worlds as much as you want. The concept of inefficiency does not exist.”
“Don’t get tired… … ?”
“It’s for the Duke. “There is no reason to be tired.”
It seemed sincere. oh my god.
“What’s important right now is not about my work, Death King. First, dress neatly.”
Only then did I properly look around.
Just as Baron Goo Ha’s face was familiar to me, the place where I woke up was also very familiar. Chairman of the Kingdom’s Grand Council. A place where all the nobles gathered and discussed. It was the exact same place I had come to when I was possessed by Baron Goo Ha.
“Why here… … .”
Wasn’t the place where the pillars gathered and held a meeting in the dark underworld?
“I will explain shortly. So, please start by organizing your clothes. Even if you know the duke personally, you must be polite in my presence. “I can’t allow you to have an audience with the duke now, looking like you do.”
“Oh, you don’t look like you? “What’s wrong with my clothes?”
“It’s vulgar.”
“…….”
Baron Gu Guanha carefully looked at me from head to toe. Of course, my current clothes are Anastasia fashion. In other words, it was pitch black leather clothing.
I couldn’t bear to refute it, so I avoided eye contact.
“… … “But these are very expensive clothes.”
“how much?”
“yes?”
“Didn’t you say it was expensive? “Excuse me, how much is it?”
I told the price as I heard from Anastasia.
Baron Gu Guanha lightly nodded when he heard the price of the clothes. Then he picked up one of the clothes hanging on the desk and held it out to me.
I was handed some clothes in a hurry.
“excuse me. This?”
“The clothes are 120 times more expensive than that.”
“…….”
“Please change your clothes.”
I quietly changed my clothes.
“This is the situation room that observes all the towers.”
While I was quickly changing my clothes, Baron Gu Guanha turned his back and spoke softly.
“It was modeled after the kingdom’s grand council president. It just looks the same, but it’s a completely different space. Let me tell you from your perspective… okay. “This can be said to be the [basement level] of the tower.”
B1.
I asked, sticking my left foot into my pants box.
“Is there a second basement floor?”
“doesn’t exist. Even if you happen to break through the 100th floor, something like [Actually, we were from the 1st basement level to the 100th floor underground, and our true adventure begins now – (Episode) Death King Biography Part 2 Opening (Axis)] will never happen again. “It won’t happen, so please rest assured.”
I’ve never thought of such a terrible thing, but for some reason, it seems like a story that could really happen… . How scary is this… ? My soul will burn and the whole world will burn brightly.
“Are you fully dressed?”
“Oh, yes. “The return is over.”
“Excuse me.”
Baron Gu Guha turned his back. Baron Salvatore looked at me, dressed in kingdom-style attire, carefully.
“Normally, hunters can never stop by here, on the first basement level. This applies not only to hunters but also to constellations. Even if they happen to get in and out by a one-in-a-million chance, those who are not qualified will only see pitch-black darkness.”
“Hey.”
“It must have seemed that way to you in the past, Death King. But now you are qualified, at least temporarily. “This is the first time this has happened since the tower was built.”
Baron Goon Ha looked down at the snake wrapped around my wrist.
“Sorry, but you are the only one qualified. The recognition activities of [Snake in the Labyrinth], [Music Box Just for You], [Guardian Goddess], and [Sword Emperor] have been stopped. “This is for security reasons, so we would appreciate your understanding.”
“…….”
So, everyone has been quiet since we arrived here.
“Fortunately, the clothes fit you well.”
Is the costume check over?
Baron Gu Guanha took a step away, glanced at me, and then nodded.
“This is enough to have an audience with the duke.”
“I heard a rumor that I can wear any fashion… … .”
“Then, we will open the meeting.”
Baron Goon Ha did not give me a chance to enter the bullshit time and clapped his hands.
Kkei Iik-.
The main door of the conference hall opened.
People walked out as if they had been waiting at the door.
“Confirming participants.”
[Check the participants.]
The same voice overlapped twice at the same time. Baron Gu Guanha lifted his chin straight and looked straight at those entering the front door. And he called them one by one.
“The Fifth Pillar, the Princess Who Walks in the Mirage, is present.”
[The fifth pillar, ‘Princess Walking in a Mirage’, is present.]
The first person to enter was the princess.
A pillar that is more favorable to me than anyone else.
The princess had a smile on her face, her hair flowing as if the gold had given up half of itself to the white. She waved her hand excitedly at me.
If you had to name an animal that resembles it, would it be a chick?
“Hello, Death King! Long time no see! So far, well—-.”
“Excuse me. miss. “Please be quiet.”
“Ah, Advisor Miya. too bad… … .”
The princess pouted her lips.
Baron Gu Guanha called the next entrants without even blinking.
“The fourth pillar, the moon, which contemplates blindness, is present.”
[The fourth pillar, ‘The Moon that Contemplates Blindness’, is present.]
A pillar with a very grumpy face, who seemed to find everything from the beginning of the universe to the end of the universe to be a nuisance, entered the door.
If I were to pick an animal that resembles me, it would be the sea otter.
“The third pillar, the one who legislated the beginning, is present.”
[The third pillar, ‘the one who legislated the beginning’ is present.]
From the beginning to the end of life, bitter, sweet, spicy, plus mint chocolate, I just want to have fun and go home, so I moved at a slime pace.
If I were to compare it to an animal, it would be a hedgehog.
“The second pillar, the god dancing in the void, is present.”
[The second pillar, ‘God Dancing in the Void’, is present.]
It doesn’t matter if the world is born or destroyed, you just have to save your own interests… uh? what? When you enter the front door, it’s not like you’re walking normally, it’s like you’re dancing ballet… … No, I was literally dancing ballet with 100% sincerity… … I entered, and I am still dancing after entering.
what?
No, what is it really… ?
If you compare it to an animal, you can see African flamingos everywhere you look.
“The Sixth Pillar, the Primordial Staff, attends.”
[The sixth pillar, ‘The Ancient Staff’, is present.]
The wizard, who seemed to sigh that he was born when he was born and sigh that he was going to die when he died, and who seemed to just sigh and accept all the things that happened to him, glanced at me.
If we were to compare it to an animal, would it be an old lion?
“…….”
and.
Footsteps echoed.
“Welcome, Duke.”
When the five pillars entered, Baron Goo Gu-ha, who had been looking at them expressionlessly, slowly lowered his head. He bent down. He bowed his head.
“I apologize for requesting a meeting while you are busy.”
It was clearly a different attitude. Unlike when greeting other pillars, Baron Goon Ha did not use the ‘Tower’s Voice’. He didn’t send a message. He worshiped the Master of Steps directly, using only his voice.
“The meeting has been convened in accordance with the regulations previously ordered, but the duke must fully decide whether the convocation is justified.”
“are you okay. Seems very fair, doesn’t it? “Reliable work as always, Soin’s advisor.”
“yes. thank you.”
Top owner.
A platinum-blond-haired nobleman who could make any facial expression and imitate any voice. In this world, he had the nickname Duke Kaleidoscope, but to me, he was familiar with the name Amethyst. He smiled brightly at me.
And as the owner of the tower and the nobleman of this place, he greets me with all his might.
“high. “Death King.”
“…….”
“Hello.”
“………….”
“what? The reaction is weak. I heard that it is the latest greeting method. Wasn’t this it? High fever? Hi. So? Hmm. Halo-halo?”
no… … .
Dak, no, you… … .
Sighs came from all over. Baron Gu Guanha sighed, the Ancient Staff had been sighing from the beginning, and the other pillars joined the sighing ranks as if they knew this would happen. Sigh, it’s a good harvest.
“mom! “That’s not it!”
Only the princess frowned and spoke bluntly instead of sighing.
“Hairu Bangabangaya!”
“iced coffee. okay. Thank you, Soin’s daughter.”
“huh. I will gladly accept my mother’s gratitude. From now on, be sure to use what I taught you without getting confused.”
Top owner Amethyst looked back at me.
And he greeted me with a very old-fashioned gesture.
“I’ll say hello again, Death King. Hairu bangabanga.”
Where did you sell your final boss force?
And that’s definitely not the latest greeting method… .
etc,
