Episode 201
The basement of the mansion.
As I went down the spiral staircase, a long passageway caught my eye.
The floor is covered with several black and white tiles like a mosaic.
There are spiral-shaped sculptures on both sides.
It is on display.
［Tower of Trials – 8th floor］
［Subquest: Source of disaster］
Turned New Camelot into a city of the dead.
zombie virus.
Infiltrate the underground laboratory, the epicenter of the virus, and eliminate the culprit.
* target
Remove eponymous virus
Underneath the gray city of New Camelot
is a large research institute.
It was just as Fafne said.
A passageway that runs in a straight line.
There seemed to be no need to get lost inside the lab.
I advanced along the straight road.
The moment you pass by the red spiral-shaped pieces.
Weeeeeee-!
The two sculptures gave off a strange light and rang a siren sound.
“As expected. I won’t let you go easily.”
The top of the spiral staircase was sealed off, and the floor I walked on a little while ago was split in half.
“Guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.”
Zombies crawling out between cracked floors.
Among them was Boomer, a variant with poison in its stomach.
A suicide bomber popping out of a narrow space.
I don’t know who designed it, but the preparations to greet the intruders are thorough.
‘Could it be the manager? Or the will of the tower itself?’
Boomer’s explosion range is 20m.
The range over which the poison contained in the body spreads is wider.
I went further into the aisle, increasing the distance between me and Boomer.
The moment you step on the black space.
Sweet.
The floor was slightly pressed and the walls on both sides cracked.
A trap reminiscent of the 4th floor of a tower.
Immediately activate your extra senses and attack the device.
The case pattern was read.
‘It’s a poisonous stinger.’
Apparently, they had applied a liquid that would leave them in the [Infected] state.
Anyway, it’s a terrible neighborhood.
While deploying the Unryubo, we went further into the passage again.
This time, I stepped on the white space.
Nothing happened.
‘It’s not all a trap.’
but.
This is the passageway into the laboratory.
If the entire passageway was a trap, the researchers wouldn’t be able to enter the building.
It seems to have its own pattern.
‘Still, we are far from the explosion range.’
I put a lot of distance between myself and Boomer.
I used the Shinjeonbidojutsu and defeated the zombies from a distance.
Boomer, which suffered significant damage, exploded.
Some of the poison splashed out, but I used my self-defense magic to prevent it from reaching my body.
Although we wiped out the zombie horde.
The number that had been reduced quickly increased again.
A group of zombies appeared again from the cracked floor.
“Guuuuuu.”
“If this continues, there will be no end.”
Let’s scream hell’s curse.
I was reluctant to set fire to an underground, sealed laboratory.
In this life, I am a human.
You can’t live without breathing.
‘Because the location is a location, there are quite a few restrictions.’
They said it was a hidden quest.
It was completely different from the quests I had done in the tower so far.
Smirk.

The corner of his mouth twitched.
I don’t know about the other challengers who participated in the 8th floor trial.
I was rarely nervous.
Although I had quite the pleasure of growing my immortal power, building an army, and becoming stronger.
I did not feel the sense of crisis inherent in the ordeal.
‘It’ll be a little fun this time.’
The ordeal of the tower is fair.
As the difficulty level increases, the reward given when solving it also increases.
It’s quite difficult from the beginning, so how difficult will it be for people after that?
And how much will the compensation be?
The anticipation made me feel good.
“Don’t disappoint.”
I mumbled to myself and proceeded without hesitation through the passage full of traps.
Rice Rice Rice Rice
Ordo and Fafne.
The tower manager and deputy sat side by side and observed Min-cheol.
rThe challenger has finally entered the lab.”
“I’m glad your prediction that you were looking for a hidden quest was correct.”
Ordo was relieved.
Min-cheol’s presence was like a thorn in the eye of Ordo, who was a principled person.
To give challengers a fair trial of the tower
A variable that takes away the right(?) to receive.
I was greatly relieved that Fafne’s suggestion worked.
‘■This is an inference made by investigating the challenger’s movements, so it can’t be wrong.”
Fafne raised her head proudly.
A newcomer who has risen from the 0th floor to breaking all records and breaking all kinds of records.
Looking at the records Mincheol left while climbing the tower, he had already taken in several hidden elements during the ordeal.
A representative example is the rainbow ring.
“How long has it been since the entire trial was shaken by one challenger?”
“It happened recently too. That dragon is the human who handles the Lang Tou soldiers.”
Yongin Lau.
Empress Reggal.
These are the new challengers who are visible from the lower levels of the tower.
“Those guys didn’t go around tearing up the whole city like this.”
“That is correct.”
“By the way, you only provided the entry information to that challenger, right?”
“yes. “I only told you the location of the mansion and how to open the secret passage to the lab.”
“Kkeukkeuk. You’re going to have a hard time.”
Contrary to what he said, a smile appeared on Ordo’s lips.
To find out the location of the underground laboratory, you must travel to treatment centers and collect information.
“If you collect that information, you can also find out the situation within the research institute.”
“Yes.”
An intruder may enter the laboratory.
To prepare for it, there were all kinds of traps, devices, and mutant zombies.
Even in the passage that Min-cheol entered right now, the trap will not be activated if you follow a certain pattern.
The same goes for blocking the entrance and zombies coming out.
If you have an employee ID card hidden somewhere on the 8th floor, it will not work.
“I got the information about the hidden quest for free, so wouldn’t it be fair to have to endure this much?”
“Of course.”
A trap inside the lab.
It was full of dangerous things that could never be overcome alone.
Jinsik of all kinds of institutions.
Weird mutant zombies.
The underground research lab was truly a dicey battle.
Either try until the end and die.
Or step down.
Mincheol will have no choice but to choose one of the two.
Because the Hidden Quest was not attempted in a normal way, the limitations were also clear.
Slam!
Just then, a trap was triggered.
Several iron needles shining with poisonous liquid were fired.
_ Sheesh.
In the screen, Mincheol clicks his tongue and swings his arms quickly.
It was clearly an empty hand, but before I knew it, a weapon appeared and struck out a bundle of iron needles.
“How much of a difference in difficulty is there compared to when you entered using the normal method?”
“Three times.”
“I hope that challenger isn’t too reckless.”
“They say we have to be on guard because at some point the balance of trials will be disrupted.J
“Still, isn’t he a promising challenger?”
“You have unchanging principles.”
The two did not take their eyes off the screen showing Mincheol.
After a while.
“Adjutant. What I’m seeing right now is like a hallucination, right?”
rYou know. A manager’s gaze can see through any hallucination.”
“Do you really think that?”
“no. “Actually, I think I’m hallucinating.”
Ordo and Fafne’s eyes were colored with astonishment.
Rice Rice Rice Rice
The lab seemed to be a mixture of the 4th and 8th floors of the tower.
bang!
The moment I took a step, the ceiling suddenly fell all the way down.
[I use the Blue Thunder Fist.]
He quickly raised the collapsing ceiling and destroyed the inside of the trap with his force.
“Oh. It’s annoying!”
The passageway was designed to gradually go downward.
The problem was that even after walking for several kilometers, there was no end in sight.
A poisonous liquid that spreads all kinds of traps and infections.
Behind me, zombies chased after me.
Seeing them try so hard to touch even a single hem of their clothes makes me feel like a popular celebrity.
I looked across the aisle with sunken eyes.
‘Go straight ahead and destroy them all.’
At the same time as spreading Cheonma’s reign, he operated Cheongeun Chu’s tomb.
Kwaang-!
As soon as I took one step, there was a loud explosion and part of the passage shook.
Traps installed nearby broke down or malfunctioned due to the impact of the passage shaking.
‘You mean you can endure this much?’
Hehe.
The passage was built stronger than expected.
I wore self-defense gear all over my body and used Cheonmagunrimbo and Cheongeunchu at the same time.
Kwaang-! bang
A continuous roaring sound.
With each step, clear footprints were engraved on the marble floor.
Occasionally, traps that were not destroyed were triggered.
I escaped the trap with my five senses, which I brought to the highest level through Seongcheonjogyekong, and my [extra senses].
After turning around and going down, we reached the actual research lab section.
“Guaaaah!”
The lab section was full of zombies. Researcher zombies wearing white coats.
An improved soldier zombie.
A number of variants that were appearing in the city also appeared.
The laboratory section was quite large, but it was filled with several zombies.
A wall made of glass.
Meanwhile, an army of drooling zombies looked at me.
Either an arm or a leg was replaced with a gun.
There’s also a guy with a bazooka or RPG-7-like launcher attached to his shoulder.
there is.
“Come out.”
General 8th class.
70 warrior ranks appeared all at once.
『Loyalty to the Most High!』
“Those guys. Wipe them all out.”
『Respect!』
The immortal army absorbed Nemesis and gained immunity from the tower system’s [infection].
The most important thing to worry about when dealing with zombies has disappeared.
If they mobilize the army.
It is natural that I should also join the military.
As I passed the laboratory, I came across various sections, including a small passageway and a drug lab.
Among them, there were traps that spread infectious viruses in the form of gas and places that isolated the space itself.
‘Isn’t the level of difficulty really a joke?’
When the gas was sprayed, I was so nervous that I broke into a cold sweat.
A laboratory full of all kinds of traps and zombies.
Combined with the nature of being underground, it caused quite a bit of trouble for people.
‘That doesn’t mean I’m going to give up.’
Martial arts and power.
If you utilize both, there is no challenge you cannot overcome.
The entrance is blocked?
Just make it again and that’s it.
When gas was sprayed in an enclosed space, the Seven Star Demon Sword was deployed and the wall collapsed.
Once the spacious laboratory was created, the Immortal Army was mobilized.
Damn it!
None of the traps in the lab could stop my advance.
We finally reached the bottom of the lab.
‘Is it here?’
A door made of thick steel appeared before my eyes.
I searched the surroundings just in case, but I couldn’t find any other passageways other than the large door.
-This is the Z virus culture room. A first-class employee ID is required to enter.
do.
First-class employee ID card?
“That can’t be possible.”
-No background check. Entry is restricted.
There were double and triple locks on the iron door.
Come all the way here and go back to get an employee ID card?
‘I should have saved it in advance and come here.’
The employee ID card appears to be inside the research center that I had passed by so far.
Zombies wearing robes.
Wouldn’t it be possible to find it by searching the corpses of those who appear to be researchers?
‘But that’s annoying.’
Pazzutz!
Transform the Dark Star into the Emperor’s Sword.
Black strong energy surged sharply along the blade.
-warning. High energy reaction.
“Oh, what are you going to do?”
I deployed the Emperor Sword style with all my might.
Kang! Kakang!
Perhaps because it was made of ordinary material, the steel door withstood the chaos of strength several times.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-
He infused the sword with more chaotic energy and swung it out quickly.
The heavy iron could not withstand the sword strike and was torn to pieces.
-Emergency. Emergency. An intruder appears in the Z virus culture room.
I ignored the security system’s voice and pushed my body through the crack.
The end of the hidden quest was just around the corner.
