Episode 196
A husky male voice.
I think I heard it somewhere.
I glanced in the direction the voice came from.
The exterior wall of a half-collapsed building.
A person’s shadow was slightly visible.
‘Is it a stealth-related skill or equipment?’
I heard voices, but I couldn’t see anyone.
The sense of energy was expanded with [The flow of the universe].
I sensed that the magic flow was distorted around the shadow.
Are you trying to help me?
The possibility that it was a trap did not seem very likely.
But…
‘If you tell me not to do it, I want to do it more.
‘That’s the human heart.’
He created holy flames in both hands and spread them over a wider area.
White salt covered the half-broken asphalt.
A holy flame that burns away all unclean energy.
The moment the zombies touched the white flame, they were unable to resist and were charred.
“I don’t listen to orders from those weaker than me.”
At least with zombies.
Is there any reason for me to be afraid!
“Then you die! These guys are no ordinary zombies!”
what.
It’s so scary to see these weaklings so frightened.
“I don’t follow anyone’s orders.”
With a brief thought, I concentrated my holy power into my hands again.
As I spread the holy flames wide, the zombies came in faster.
The number went beyond hundreds and became thousands.
It seems like all the zombies nearby are running out.
The person who made the voice seemed to have given up on warning, so I could no longer hear anything.
In a matter of minutes, thousands of zombies were reduced to ashes.
‘The experience is very salty.’
I clicked my tongue.
Even though I burned thousands of dollars, it did not rise even 0.1%.
As an aftereffect(?) of defeating the incarnation of Asmodeus, the amount of experience gained was unreasonably low.
To be exact, as the level goes up, the experience required also jumps.
‘With this momentum, the zombies nearby will be eliminated in no time.’
The difficulty level of zombies is level D.
Even though there were a lot of them, the level was so different that they couldn’t even touch my hair.
In particular, it was resolved quickly thanks to Seongyeom, who had the upper hand in compatibility.
at that time.
Boom boom!
I heard loud footsteps.
“Guhuhuhh
Height is about 5m.
A giant zombie with a protruding belly, a half-naked body, and dead eyes approached at a slow pace.
“Is this your first time seeing something like that?”
It was not an undead created through witchcraft or necromancy.
Wiggle.
The fighter’s ‘feel’ reacted to the giant zombie.
I used [Eye of Truth].

EX level characteristics?!!
I couldn’t believe my eyes for a moment.
Even I, who had accumulated many powers and martial arts, did not have any EX-level characteristics.
Among the skills, the only one is Seongcheonjogyeggong.
It wasn’t a common trait for a zombie to have, as it seemed like it would explode at the slightest touch.

A characteristic modeled after a world destroyed by the zombie apocalypse.
With the power declared in the [Rules] of the 8th floor of the tower, if you are injured by a zombie, you are recognized as infected.
If infected, you turn into a zombie 24 hours later.
The infection cannot be resisted by any means, and the infection can only be overcome by administering an antidote.
crazy.
Was it really a zombie outbreak?
‘Was the reason I screamed a moment ago because of the infection?’
Each zombie was weak.
The problem was that characteristic.
Zombification corrected by the tower system.
It was an absolute ‘rule’ of the world that ignored all types of resistance, such as poison and curses.
“Geuuu……
A purple light shone on my bulging belly.
A walking infection bomb.
If you defeat that monster, a 30m radius will be devastated by the infectious liquid contained in the ship.
Wouldn’t it be possible to protect yourself from the explosion radius by using a self-defense weapon?
‘There’s no need to even experiment.’
Piyung!
He opened his hand and fired a lightning bolt.
Self-destruct?
All you have to do is kill it before it gets close to you. I have already identified the scope of its self-destruction using the [Eye of Truth].
Ten pieces of Seomjeonbi were lodged in Boomer’s body.
Belly fat, some of which contains infectious fluid
They attacked without mercy.
Puh-uh-!
Boomer’s body swelled slightly and then exploded with a loud noise.
The nearby 30m area was covered with the purple liquid contained in Boomer’s body.
‘That’s annoying.’
Zombies or boomers.
Everyone became weak.
Nevertheless, it is something that cannot be underestimated.
The truth is that their claws can do enough damage to my body.
Infection does not discriminate between status and • medicine.
One bite and you’re done.
It wasn’t much different from the zombie movies I often watched as a child.
This is true.
It doesn’t let me lose my mind even for a moment.
When I realized the danger of [infection], a shiver ran down my spine.
‘okay. This is what it tastes like.’
A smile appeared on my lips.
The ordeal of the tower was always dangerous.
At the same time, the higher the risk, the greater the reward when overcoming it.
The tension and desire for power amused me.
‘Was it over there?’
Finish.
I also found an information source(?) who could explain the ordeal on the 8th floor.
I walked towards the place where I heard the voice earlier.
Rice Rice Rice Rice
Whisper, chin.
Stepping on the stones of a stepping stone, as if crossing a river, I ran between rooftops and headed toward the source of the voice.
“Guuuu!”
Zombies did not care about the location.
As soon as it sensed that I was popular, it would climb up the building and try to eat me.
“You’re bothering me.”
He transformed the Dark Star into an Earth Chain and crushed its limbs with the Ginji Tenshoku Ball.
After moving about a kilometer south, we came close to the building where the voice first came from.
This has been reached.
That moment.
“Entangle!”
Plant stems shot upward, blocking my path.
A vine the thickness of a telephone pole.
Handling plants is a druid’s specialty.
“Is this an eary guy?”
I lightly swung the earth chain.
The chain carrying the Chaos energy moved nimbly and tore the vines apart.
“Iik! Leaf Blade J”
As if the demon was screaming, he unleashed his magic again.
The leaves attached to the exterior wall of the building were shot out with a sharp energy.
“That’s boring.”
The energy in the leaves was poor.
He transformed the Dark Star into an Atlas Gauntlet, put his hands together, and made the Great Beast Sign.
The palm, which was in chaos, threw away all the leaves.
This isn’t enough to stop me
ji.
Without fear, we moved to the building where the group that attacked was located.
“Kiyoooot!”
This time, two Vulcan warriors and a dwarf charged head on.
It seems like he is a friend of the earl.
‘It’s enough to just have one guy to give me information on the 8th floor.’
I was not merciful enough to spare the life of an enemy who was determined to kill me.
I plan to kill at least two of them as an example.
Just as I was about to stretch my arms.
The moment I saw the Vulcan warrior at the forefront, I felt a strange sense of déjà vu.
‘Aren’t they the ones I saw on the 6th floor back then?’
Trial on the 6th floor.
When I went down to the crypt to mine minerals, this guy stayed for a while to protect me.
no wonder.
I thought your voice looked familiar.
‘He was quite a kind guy.’
It was a useless meddling, but it was favored anyway.
The attack was withdrawn and the direction changed to suppression.
Whoops-!
Daesooin was revealed once again.
A martial arts attack performed by appropriately adjusting the internal strength.
“Kkeuch!”
“Ugh!”
The group of Vulkan warriors gritted their teeth and endured.
By sticking the weapon in my hand against the exterior wall of the building and holding on, I was able to avoid being thrown outside.
no. To be exact, it was calculated up to that point and then spread out.
“You guys. It’s been a while.”
“Have you seen us?”
“Of course. It would be a shame if I forgot what happened on the 6th floor.”
The Vulkan warrior holding the ax looked blank for a moment, then opened his mouth wide.
“Are you a kid from the mine?”
“It’s wrong to say it’s a child, but it’s the correct answer.”
I raised my hands up, showing that I had no will to fight.
The Vulkan warrior laughed helplessly and lowered his ax slightly.
“I thought it was weak. The weak one was actually this one.”
“More or less muscle is not a measure of strength.”
“Are you Jeon Min-cheol by any chance?”
“You’re quicker than you think.”
“It’s not a difficult guess. A challenger with overwhelming military power who comes from a non-ranking background, that’s you.”
Last time I met him, he seemed like a nice person… no, he seemed like a good person.
I don’t think he took on the role of leader of the group for nothing.
“I am Jeon Min-cheol.”
“This is Mitrang, the Vulcan warrior.”
After formally exchanging names, we sat down on the floor of the half-destroyed building.
A similar structure to when we encountered each other on the 6th floor.
But the situation has become just the opposite.
I glanced at Mitrang and his group.
There used to be five, but now there are only four.
There was no elf who spoke in a harsh tone.
“Has there been one less group?”
“No. It’s below.”
“If possible, call everyone. At least say hello.”
“I can’t do that. I’m not feeling well right now, so I’m resting.”
Mitrang’s voice became gloomy.
This reaction.
no way?
“Is it infected?”
“Hehe, it’s as you said.”
“Mr. Mitrang! If you say it like that!”
One elf protested.
Whoa.
It was just the moment when I confirmed the danger of zombies with the [Eye of Truth].
It was an interesting story.
“I just need to find a cure, right?”
“It’s difficult on our own. There’s a lot of competition for treatments.”
It seems that it was quite difficult to obtain a cure during the ordeal.
It was I who confirmed the characteristics of zombies with the eyes of truth, but the other challengers did not.
If you get hurt by a boomer or a regular zombie, the countdown to death begins immediately.
As I listened to the story, one question arose.
“Wouldn’t your colleagues also become zombies in 24 hours?”
“Infection suppressants are relatively easy to obtain.”
“You’re so loyal. It would be easier to just give up.”
“Vulkan never abandons his comrades.”
Simple ignorance.
This is a word that defines the Vulcan race.
These people have a strong sense of camaraderie and reverence for power.
The guy named Mitrang was exactly like the Vulcan race I remembered.
“You were the one who screamed earlier, right?”
“Yes.”
“You did something useless.”
He gave a warning and revealed his location.
Even if you created a base using stealth items, there was a high chance of being exposed if you spoke out.
Nevertheless, what came forward…
‘I guess it’s because the people are nice, just like they did on the 6th floor.’
The more you look at it, the more it becomes the image of a noble person, or rather, a good person.
but.
This time, I was lucky to have the heart to show kindness to others without hesitation.
‘Thanks to you for yelling like that, you ran into me.’
Silver clothes received on the 6th floor.
It didn’t suit my personality to just owe money and move on.
However, I had no intention of helping them for free.
“A cure. It might save you.”
“Is it real?!”
“But it’s not free.”
“It’s about saving a friend. Say anything.”
“First, give me the information on the 8th floor. I will listen to the story and judge the price of the cure.”
I brought up my original purpose.
