Episode 78. Departure.
Everyone could not believe the sight that unfolded before them. How can there be a place like this inside the tower?
I did know that the higher the tower goes, the wider the structure becomes.
“The sea?”
Cynthia couldn’t close her mouth. Alfredo, her party member, was also dumbfounded and walked to the end of the beach, scooped up her water with his hand, and drank it.
Whoop.
“… “Is it really sea water?”
he asked, turning his gaze to where I was.
“Surely we have to take a boat?”
I pretended not to know and shrugged my shoulders. If it is discovered that I have information here and now, I will want to share it and it may spread to others.
Currently, there are only two people on this continent, or indeed in the world, who know how to climb the 50th floor of the tower.
‘One of them is me.’
The other one.
“Ho, is this a trial by the tower to see what happens when young men and women are imprisoned on an island and cannot be free?!”
Maria Theresa.
One of the few ‘chosen ones’ who can read the records engraved on the tower by a person called God.
Her power to see the future is greater than that of the Pope. Even her papal court entrusted her with important matters to her.
“No, I decided to get information from the adventurer’s coffin. “It is said that the path from the 40th to the 50th floor is so free that it can be divided into dozens, hundreds, or thousands of paths.”
Theresia lowered her head with a disappointed expression.
“is it so?”
“There is only freedom of choice, but along the way there will be trials that are difficult to endure. “That was the case with all the towers we climbed before.”
Cynthia seemed to agree and shared what she had experienced.
“I was also stuck on the 10th floor for several months, lost over 10 colleagues, and almost died several times.”
Alfredo, who was with her, also spoke while showing the scar on his neck.
“Do you see it? If I had gone a little deeper, I probably wouldn’t be here now. When I first came to the tower, the goblin swung a dagger and it became like this.”
After hearing their explanation, Theresia smiled and crossed her legs.
“You are too dangerous. “I think it was a good idea for me to be with them.”
Cynthia and Alfredo probably took her answer in a different way than I did.
They said they came to protect them.
‘I tell you to think whatever is good.’
Anyway, it would be helpful if she moved with us.
“Then let’s all spread out and check this island now. “You can see the other side through the trees, so if you walk for a while, you will be able to see everything.”
From the 41st floor, each party starts at a different island location, and as they move forward, the size of the island increases, the number of floors changes, and the types of monsters that appear change.
The level of difficulty is so high that it is incomparable to other previous levels, so all of the most skilled players on the continent are stuck in this section.
‘So is my father.’
There are a lot of top-tier monsters, and even if you defeat them, the apostle here cannot be solved by force.
“Gather all the information you can and come back here.”
Rox asked, stroking the caterpillar on his shoulder.
“What is information?”
“If you find something special, just remember the location and what it is and report it to me.”
“What are you doing all this time?”
“I am protecting Theresia. “Because we have to prepare for unexpected enemy attacks.”
“ah… . “I said that bitch can’t fight, right?”
Cynthia hit Rox on the head with her fist.
Wow.
“evil!”
“I told Theresia to be careful what you say, right?”
“This bitch is really… . “If you keep messing around like that, you’re going to hurt me big time.”
“If you can, give it a try.”
“You damn bitch!”
Faaah!
I sent an aura between the two to warn them.
“Cynthia, you said it yourself, right? “On the battlefield, you have to make sure that party members don’t get along with each other.”
“… sorry.”
“Rox, be quiet too. “Just keep useless thoughts in your head.”
Rox huffed and looked into the distance.
“okay.”
“But why do you have that caterpillar on your shoulder?”
“I heard you also carry a cat on your shoulder. “I wonder if I will become stronger if I do this.”
“… Oh yeah.”
Brunhild licked his front paw and laughed.
“Okay then, disperse right away. “I need to get to my father’s place as quickly as possible, so hurry up.”
Cynthia, Alfredo, and Rox answered simultaneously.
“huh!”
“okay.”
“okay.”

No matter how old and sick he was, the claim that he was the strongest living being on earth was so strong that there could not be a single doubt.
“Foolish guys.”
He swung his sword without even getting up from his throne.
Boom-
The auror surrounding the sword was so strong. Even those who were not touched by the sword were cut down by the golden light spreading in all directions.
Dozens of animal knights fell in a single blow. The black-haired old man leading them continued to swing his brush in the air and shout.
“Don’t stop, move forward! “Soon that guy won’t be able to move!”
He was sure.
Lois breaks down tonight.
Even if it seems like a high wall that you can’t overcome right now, you can break it down just by gradually making them lose their strength.
There are great restrictions on his body now.
Although invisible, a very small larva made of aurors is moving around inside Lois’ body.
‘Death Worm’
This thing, created by Bae Hu-ryeong of Katarina, is not only difficult to notice once it enters the body, but it is also impervious to any medicine, so in some ways it is a technique called the strongest ability.
‘of course.’
If she had a feud with Lois, it would be next to impossible to plan something like this.
Rather, because they were at peace, they were able to stab him in the back.
Over a long period of time, we created a loophole and created a sense of suspicion, which allowed us to mix the death worm into Lois’ potion.
“It is a success.”
And when the battle lasted more than half a day, the effect took effect. Of course, the enemy did not succeed in attacking Lois.
A loophole that no one really expected until something happened.
Flutter!
The guard captain, who was closest to Lois and had been by his side until now, stabbed him in the side.
“… Yes, your guy.”
It was a strike that took advantage of the confusion at the moment the enemy army was approaching. Normally it would never have worked, but it was the result of his weakened energy breaking his spirit.
Moreover, since the guard captain had been by his side for half a day, Lois had no idea that he would betray her.
How long have you been with him so far? It’s been over 20 years since he started climbing the tower.
“sorry.”
The guard captain twisted the sword stuck in his side and opened the wound.
Quad deuk.
“Kaaaaak!”
Not only the guard captain, but also the knights following him rushed forward at the same time and stabbed Royce with their swords.
Creep, rustle!
Lois noticed a vein on her forehead and scanned their faces.
“Whose instructions are these?” .”
The guard captain took out a pendant with a cold expression.
Above it was a symbol of a roaring lion with two horns on its head.
“I trust you will understand.”
“Well, that can’t be-”
“Your father too. “He walked the same path as we did.”
Lois closed her eyes and bit her lip. The aura of his entire body exploded.
Qua- ang!
All the guards who could not withstand the impact flew away. The guard captain, a 7-star knight, also lost the handle of his sword and fell backwards.
puck.
Lois stood up with a knife stuck in her body. He did not back down even when faced with a crisis, but pulled out the sword from his body and cut off the head of the guard.
Shock-
Just once.
This was the number of sword strikes required for the head of a 7-star knight, who was said to be able to devour a country single-handedly, to fall to the ground.
dump.
Lois looked around with an angry expression. Those who were overwhelmed by his momentum could not get closer.
“Cough!”
Blood poured out of my mouth. It was already too much for him to deal with everyone gathered in front of him.
‘Can not help it.’
If this is a fight I can’t win anyway, I’ll take everyone here with me.
“Come in.”
Lois gestured toward Bae Hu-ryeong behind her.
Bae Hu-ryeong, known as King Myeong, shook his head and answered.
“If you use me now, you will die. “Your body won’t be able to take it.”
“If you keep going like this, you’ll die anyway. “This is the only way to overcome this situation.”
Everyone was an enemy.
There are no allies here.
Everyone who climbed the tower with me was aiming for my head. Although it was only a brief moment, Lois accurately identified the enemy’s identity.
The lion with horns represents the most influential royal family, the Rothschilds, and the person who received their halo was the Marquis Pierre, who led the Bourbon family.
“Whoa-”
And there is only one person who has enough power to change the minds of even the guards who have been with him for half a year.
“Even if I die, I will never forgive you, Katarina.”
His wife, Katarina.
There was definitely something between the two. No, even if there wasn’t, this incident was led by Katarina.
So this result was created.
The fact that Pierre is dead is enough to justify rebelling against the imperial family.
Royce’s Bae Hu-ryeong sighed heavily, then entered his body and warned.
“If you die in the tower, you cannot become Bae Hu-ryeong.”
“I know, so don’t worry and come in.”
“… What if I lose you anyway? In my future, I will find someone who has your blood. “I will take revenge.”
Lois smiled lightly and absorbed Bae Hu-ryeong into her palm.
Easy profit-
“as you please.”
Faaah!
Golden light flashed from his body.
Then, the aurors gathered together in the trapezius muscle and wing ridge, creating six arms.
This means that each and every thing could move according to Lois’ will.
Let the six swords cut through the air at the same time.
Boom!
The intense sword energy stretched forward, flew straight through the forest, and destroyed the large ship settled on the coast.
Quang!
“… “If all of this is fate ordained by God, I will not avoid it but accept it.”
Lois pointed her sword at the black-haired old man and his colleagues with bloodshot eyes.
Turf, plod, trudge.
“Come, Matteo Ricci. “My old friend.”
* * *
Rox said, scratching the bridge of his nose with a proud expression.
“how is it? “I think I brought the most information to this level.”
A small ship anchored on one side of the island. It was big enough for the five of us, and big enough for anyone who needed sleep to lie down.
‘Thank goodness’
The boat I had in my previous life was too small, so I was in trouble every time I encountered a big wave.
‘I think I can take a shortcut at this level.’
Then, I will be able to arrive at the 49th floor where my father is within today.
I turned my head and looked at Brunhild, the cat on my shoulder, and whispered.
“I need you to help me. “Master.”
Because this sea was created by your disciple.
