Stuck in The Tower

Chapter 127 Is there a sphere?

Did you say that humans are animals of adaptation?

Shivering from the cold is an old story. A day later, I didn’t feel much cold.

I tried digging the ground and pouring ice water into it just in case.

“Now, the skill level doesn’t go up in the usual way.”

“To that.”

It’s just a little cooler, but the skill level hasn’t changed.

I think the training should end here.

Because there’s no need to waste time.

However, I am satisfied that I have achieved my goal. no more than that

[Cold resistance (C) Lv.3]

[Rigid body (B) Lv.4]

[Physical attack resistance (C) Lv.1]

[Poison resistance (C) Lv.2]

More effective than expected.

This is all thanks to Deokchun’s support from the side.

“good job.”

“Ahhhhh.”

Deokchun, who spat and licked me, cried out.

We decided to give them delicious food as special meals and have a recovery time.

Now that you’ve completed your training, you need to be recognized by the field boss on the 29th floor. It is not possible to challenge yourself as you are tired from training.

–

You gain strength by dancing around the bonfire.

Embarrassment came flooding in as I was doing this in my panties, but what is it? There is no one there other than me and Deokchun.

I proudly swung my arms and legs. louder! powerfully!

[I feel better!]

Is it because of the buff effect? The mood was infinitely good and the body was light.

cool wind. clear air. Clean nature itself makes people feel good.

Feeling free, I stretched my arms high in the sky.

“…I entered the 29th floor, but it didn’t come. I did something, and it was like this.”

I was able to face the boss on the 29th floor who came looking for me.

White skin with long straight hair. A woman wearing armor and looking at me with sharp eyes.

A glimpse of disgust flashed in her eyes, but was it my imagination?

Since when have you been watching?

All kinds of thoughts went through my head. And…

[Putting on equipment]

I also realized that it wasn’t the time to be like this.

I immediately put on the equipment I had taken off. The woman in front of me is the boss of the 29th floor.

the one who tests me Because I couldn’t be defenseless.

“I have no intention of attacking, so insert your sword and follow me.”

Perhaps these were empty words, she turned her back and walked towards the ice castle.

I was clumsily holding the sword, and I coughed and put the sword back in.

“The action I just took was to receive the buff, and there was no other reason or preference.”

“I am not interested.”

yes.

Somehow wrinkled, I hurriedly followed her.

When did you come? I didn’t feel popular at all.

stealth? Or did you use a special skill? Looking around, there is no sign of her approaching.

Because not even a single hair is missing, let alone footprints.

Looking behind her, he used his authority.

[Magneta Pratt]

-The Pillar of the Temple of Ice and Fire

-The Sword of the Holy Kingdom

-A superhuman who has passed the Magnarok test.

Familiar words come to mind one after another.

Things I saw while passing the 10th floor.

This person also belonged to the temple.

Like the field boss I met on the 19th floor.

How come the name sounds familiar? i think i saw it somewhere

I had doubts, but her steps were quite fast, so I also erased my thoughts and diligently moved my feet.

The doorway arrived shortly after.

As she waved her hand, the ice door opened.

A hall covered with transparent ice.

The lighting also gave off a clear light, as if made of ice, and the long table, chairs, and statue of the Goddess carved in relief were reflected in the light and shimmered.

A beautiful but desolate space. There was also a familiar tooth in it.

“…The field boss on the 19th floor?”

“Nice to meet you! Long time no see.”

He was the one who gave me the seal of fire.

you’ll see it here no. Can the field boss be here?

Rather…

“Why are you doing that?”

“There are circumstances.”

The feeling of intimidation when seen from the 19th floor is gone, but the ruler of the 19th floor kneeling on the floor with both hands raised.

he chuckles

“Forgiveness can take time! Actually, it’s not my fault!”

“It is also true that the followers of the Church of Fire who followed you burned the last remaining Church of Ice.”

“Sorry. At that time, I was also at the top. As soon as I came out, I ran, but it was already a step late. Besides, it’s my hometown.”

My head spins around.

Temple of Ice and Fire. Two men and women in armor. burnt home. The sword of the Holy Kingdom.

A lot of information came to mind.

The sword she is wearing.

[Frost Flame Sword (S)]

-The Holy Relic of the Temple of Ice and Fire

-Connects with the Pillars of the Order.

Confirming the information that came to my mind, I narrowed my eyes.

It’s something I’ve been using.

I swapped it for Feline’s red hair.

Description of the Frostfire Sword Connects to the Pillars of the Church. Now I think I know what kind of ability it is. Literally, it means that we can meet each other.

Taken all together, these are.

“People from the vision I saw on the 15th floor.”

Shield of the Holy Kingdom, Hugo Arte. He became the ruler of the 19th floor.

Magneta Pratt, the sword of the Holy Kingdom, became the ruler of the 29th floor.

Alios said. Each member of the tower plays a role and regains the right to exist.

Are these like that too?

“Looks like you noticed our identity.”

Magneta came towards me.

Her eyes soften. When I saw Hugo just now, it was bloody.

“Your guess is correct. We are the pillars that support the church. I wanted to express my gratitude to you.”

Magneta holding out her hand. I quietly held her hand.

As the corner of her mouth rises, the hard image dissolves.

The atmosphere can change with just one smile.

“Me and Hugo committed many sins. We even resented each other.”

“I never hated you? You’re the only one who hated me…”

“Shut up, Hugo.”

Hugo, perhaps feeling unfair, refutes it, but in the end, he is punished again without even making a sound.

Somehow Alios seems to have a lot of people living in captivity.

“I heard that you washed away some of our sins.”

“Are you talking about the 15th floor hidden quest?”

Magneta nodded.

It came to mind that he joined forces with the undead on the 15th floor to protect the village.

Come to think of it, I think Hugo also thanked me.

I didn’t understand it at the time, but I think I understand now.

The village of Tonganus, which was the background of the 15th floor.

The massacre that took place there must have weighed heavily on them.

Although the past is not erased, it was possible to see that the village was not destroyed under the name of the quest.

That alone seems like a big relief.

Magneta, who was still looking at Hugo with her arms raised, came up to me and whispered.

“Thank you for letting me meet Hugo again.”

Then, putting a finger to the corner of his mouth reminded him not to talk to Hugo.

He nodded slightly. I don’t know what happened between the two, but it’s a problem that the parties can solve well.

“If it was originally, I should test the one who came up on the 29th floor. It’s to make sure you’re worthy of continuing to climb the tower and that you’ve put in enough effort.”

She straightened her back and looked at me.

“Looks like you don’t have to.”

“that’s right. That guy is no longer the guy to stay on the 20th floor.”

Hugo added, agreeing.

I don’t have high specs. Beating 4-star monsters on the 20th floor.

Usually, it is something that can be done in the late 30th and 40th floors.

“I heard that it has the Seal of Fire, even though it is not recognized by Magnarok. Do you have a relic? Take it out.”

Juseomjuseom I took out the holy relic from the treasure bag.

I have 4 holy things.

[Holy Crab (AAA)]

[Permeating Divinity (AA)]

[Guardian’s Will (AA)]

[Hellfire Pilgrim (AA)]

Only ‘Hellfire Pilgrim’ can be used continuously.

Because I haven’t been formally recognized by Magnarok and I only have the seal of fire Hugo gave me.

“These are good relics. You have an eye for it.”

I didn’t say that I just stole what I could see.

After all, Magneta belonged to the Church.

How would you react if I told you that you had struck Magnarok in the back of the head and taken away even the crown?

“We never forget our debt. Like Hugo did, I want to give you the seal of ice.”

“Giving an ice seal…?”

“Even though I didn’t pass Magnarok’s test, it means that I will use my authority and Hugo’s authority to recognize them as honorary paladins.”

“I am a saint of the Church of Fire and Magneta is a saint of the Church of Ice. You don’t have that much authority.”

Hugo added to her words.

saints and saints It deserves to be called the pillar of the church. It was a great identity.

“Even if it is, it’s just a trace of the disappeared church now.”

“Hugo, don’t talk like that. It won’t be anymore.”

Magneta looked at me. Eyes full of anticipation.

“You must be wondering why we want to acknowledge you. The Holy Kingdom is no more. The church also collapsed. All that remains is the remains of the tower.”

calm speech.

she takes a step closer

“We failed and Hyaltin perished. But I still have a chance.”

-Saaaaa

A cold wind blows and lingers in her hand.

The clear divine power slowly took shape and became a snowflake-shaped pattern.

“If you accept the seal of ice, you become a member of the church. You can use all the holy things you have without restrictions. It will help you climb. That is what we want.”

“Climb the tower and tell them about the Temple of Ice and Fire, right?”

“you’re right. If it is not forgotten, it will come back to life someday.”

not easily understood

Wouldn’t it be better to make me your successor?

Didn’t Alios tell you? When the heir conquers the 100th floor, there is a chance.

It seems better for Magneta and Hugo to rebuild the Church themselves.

let’s stay still Didn’t Alios tell you? It’s better to hide the fact that you’re an heir.

I still don’t know what they are thinking. If hostile, I will die on the spot with a high probability.

“You don’t know, but there is something called an heir in the Tower. If you think rationally, it would be more likely that we would rebuild the Church ourselves, with you as the successor, but…”

Magneta gave a bitter smile and clenched her fists.

“We have failed to save the world. Someone needs to take responsibility. Me and Hugo will stay in the tower. Atonement is also our role.”

“You don’t have to understand. Just know that we’ve lived that way.”

Hugo quietly stood up and put his hand on Magneta’s shoulder.

Magneta also covered his hand without saying anything.

[Hugo Arte – Ruler of the 19th floor]

– The self-reproaching saint

[Magneta Pratt – Ruler of the 29th floor] –

Information from two

self-blaming saints .

I gazed at them.

They must have their own standards. As he said, it is difficult to understand, but I can respect him.

Not a bad condition for me.

“great. But let’s make one thing clear. Do I have any obligations?”

“There are no rules to follow as we are not formal church members. Still, I would like to keep the human duty.”

“Do not worry. He’s not that outgoing.”

“On him?”

At my words, Deokchun turned his head away, but he pretended not to know.

Let’s not break the atmosphere. Can’t you see their faces? We’re having a serious conversation.

“I accept it.”

Having made up my mind, I reached out to Magneta.

She also held my hand tightly.

The seal of ice that naturally floated into the air.

“It will hurt a little.”

“yes?”

-Saaaa!

A seal of ice seeped into me.

At the same time, a tremendous coldness permeates!

“Keuheueup!”

It feels like being frozen in the state of being alive.

really!

Frost covered the whole body. Sensation becomes dull and muscles stiffen.

It’s hard to even breathe.

“We must use the seal of fire. Otherwise, it will freeze to death.”

Hugo advised. If you’re going to tell me, tell me quickly.

let’s focus It reminded me of when I used Fire Bomb. Magic power that moves skills. The energy of fire that moved with him.

The heat of using the holy relic!

– Chii Ik!

Have I reached my will? Smoke began to rise from the body.

The bitter cold escapes little by little. At the same time, cold and heat began to entangle and harmonize.

Although lumpy, it is flexible and has a huge body.

The sensation of stirring all over the body is unfamiliar, but peaceful.

They oscillate neither slow nor fast, as if filling in each other’s deficiencies.

“Cool!”

The process was by no means easy, but…

Even the slightest collision shakes the intestines. more carefully. He calmed himself down and allowed the energy of fire and ice to move.

Another force moved here.

divine power.

-Uhhhhhh

Fire and ice. It’s harmonious, but in the end, it’s a medium that holds the other two energies together.

The energy is united around the divine power.

The three forces began to become one.

“Cool! big.”

The pain disappeared when he vomited black dead blood three times.

It is full of only tranquility. It felt like my frozen body was spreading in warmth.

The tension is relieved and even tired.

When I lay down, it seemed like I was going to fall asleep.

[Accepted the seal of ice.]

[Became an honorary paladin of the Church of Ice and Fire.]

[A paladin of the forgotten church is created!]

[Holy power greatly increases!]

[Holy power +100]

“One hundred?”

My eyes widened at the notification window that popped up in front of me.

Is it possible to raise a stat by 100?

“congratulation. You accepted the seal safely.”

“Don’t panic. Unlike other stats, divine power can rise significantly depending on the situation.”

It seemed like a possible change because it was a special stat called divine power.

I clenched my fists. Let’s lightly cheer up.

-Ugh ugh

Divine power dwelled in it and emitted a bright light.

Divine power more than twice as strong as before. If this is enough…

‘I’ll beat Richie too?’

The lich we met in the labyrinth.

Destroying the Life Vessel is the standard strategy, but with enough divine power, it could be forcibly destroyed.

Even if he was strong, he was undead and weak against divine power.

“With this, you officially belong to the Order.”

Magneta, who had been holding my hand until the end, let go with a gentle smile.

I stumbled for a while as my supportive hand disappeared, but soon I regained my balance and stood upright.

“Now you will be able to use all of the religious relics.”

At her words, I inspected the holy relics.

It’s real. The unavailable description has disappeared.

It’s been acknowledged. Thanks to this, the parent artifact can be used.

I was still feeling the need to reinforce my power ahead of the 30th floor, but it went well.

‘Like the labyrinth and the 29th floor, there’s a lot to gain.’

Was it luck, or did the things I had been accumulating all along appear in the form of rewards?

Either way, it was a positive outcome for me.

“Let’s see. You don’t seem to have any divinity-related skills.”

He nodded at Hugo’s words.

“yes. There is no such thing as a divine power skill.”

“but. That’s why you only used the holy relics when you fought me.”

After that, Hugo touched his chin.

seem to think of something.

He blinked and opened his eyes for a while, then snapped his fingers.

“My name is Paladin, but what if I don’t have anything? I will give you a skill that suits you.”

“Is it true?”

“then. I don’t know what the outcome will be, but from now on you’re the representative of the church’s existence. If you can’t use one divine skill, the shape won’t come out.”

Indeed it is.

Their purpose is to inform the Church of Ice and Fire through me.

Even if you talk about it for a hundred days, it is not as good as giving it once. It would be more efficient to draw people’s attention by using divine skills.

“Take it. It is a basic but powerful skill.”

“Ugh. Not bad.”

Hugo handed over a skill book. Magneta seemed to think it was okay too.

Giving so generously I have no choice but to accept it with a grateful heart.

[Love and Peace (A)]

First of all, the ratings are great.

Like the skill name. Isn’t Love and Peace the name that comes to mind of the church?

I read the information in the skill book with a happy face.

[Love and Peace (A)]

-Peacefully puts a lovely enemy to sleep.

– Let’s hit it quickly so that we don’t recognize it?

I rubbed my eyes.

what. did i read it wrong?

“Ha ha ha ha ha! I knew you’d like it! As expected, divine power shines the most when shooting enemies!”

“ah. yes that’s right Heh heh heh.”

done. In the first place, the temple of ice and fire is insane from the doctrine.

As soon as you learn the skill, a specific way to utilize divine power is injected.

A feeling of clearing my mind.

“The uses of Love and Peace are endless. This is because it is manifested according to the will of the user, not under a specific condition.”

“Whether you hit it with your fist or hit it with an axe, you can see the effect as long as you have the will.”

The terms of use are quite broad.

In the case of the cutting skill that I use when I use a sword, it does not work unless it is a blade.

As if it doesn’t activate unless the night vision is dark.

According to Hugo and Magneta, this skill can be used freely…

“Then can it be applied to the skill as well?”

“As long as you can control it.”

He raised his eyebrows at Hugo’s answer.

That’s right.

I just tried using the skill.

[Water (E) Lv. 1]

[Love and Peace (A) Lv. 1]

– Suwaaaaaaaaaaaa,

a ball of water that oscillates along the hand.

Not the usual water. A soft light was pouring out of the clear water.

Literally holy water.

“That’s it!”

Deokchun, who carefully entered the room, is surprised.

Divine power basically gives warmth and tranquility.

With a melting expression, Deokchun swims in the water.

“It works just fine.”

“You have good control.”

“You’re used to using skills.”

Hugo and Magneta compliment each other.

Control is bound to be good. Skills are used as the main focus, and mana is quite considerable, so I received a correction value.

“Check the title as well. If you were a normal believer, you would increase your divine power through faith, but the situation is different. I have prepared a way to increase the divine power separately.”

At Hugo’s words, I looked at the newly acquired title.

[Paladin of the Forgotten Church – Title]

-Title given to the Honorary Paladin of the Church of Ice and Fire

-The reputation of the Church will increase as you play an active role.

– Build achievements and receive praise as the representative of a forgotten church. Holy power increases accordingly.

In a word, the more famous you get, the more active you are, the more your divine power increases.

It’s a great option. Actually, I was thinking about how to get divine power.

This time, his stats went up by a hundred or more, but he had many floors to climb, and it was obvious that he would feel lacking someday.

There is no choice but to go out in front of people with the title of attacker.

The two titles will combine to create synergy.

“Thank you.”

I thanked them both, and Hugo, with a friendly smile, tapped me on the shoulder.

“I want you to climb to the top.”

“It is enough for us to perish.”

Come to think of it, they also failed to reach the top.

can not understand. Both Alios and them are so strong that I can’t even guess.

What in the world is there in high-ranking people that makes them frustrated?

“Did you two climb the tower too?”

“of course. I went up to the 94th floor and Magneta went up to the 96th floor.”

Climbed up to the 90th floor…

Will there be people who have cleared the 100th floor since the tower was created?

Hyaltine, to which they belonged, is an ancient divine kingdom.

The tower has a very long history…

“You must have a lot of questions. I understand. Let me give you one piece of advice.”

Hugo leaned over and looked at me.

“Hyaltyn began to walk the path of destruction as we, who were the center of the church, disappeared into the tower.”

“The one church was torn in two and pointed their swords at each other.”

It was only two sentences, but it wasn’t difficult to understand the situation.

split.

It’s because they ate their own power when they couldn’t get enough even if they joined forces.

One question is, why are you telling me this?

My question was what was up there.

“This is all we can do. Then blessings be with you.”

-Uh-uh-uhh

Magneta waved her hand and a portal was created under my feet.

Hugo and Magneta look at me and wave.

A light that gets brighter surrounds me.

Realizing that they would soon be moved, I also waved at them.

“Thank you again. And…”

He raised his thumb at both of them.

“You two look good together!”

“Gweek!”

The light engulfed me as the two visibly embarrassed looked at each other.

* * *

[30th floor]

[Safe zone]

When I opened my eyes, it was a new space.

30th floor.

finally came up

“It’s really there.”

I could see the same sky as the photo Nyang-Fun sent me on the 30th floor.

A sign of a newcomer to the black cloud and thunderbolt.

It was a form that appeared in every safe zone.

After looking at the sky for a while, I looked around. People walking around in groups.

I quickly left my seat. It would be a loss to show off the tee that just came up.

As well as contact with large guilds, there are people who prey on those who do not know much about this place.

Especially, this place is on the 30th floor.

“For those who haven’t found a team yet, let’s join us!”

“Did you just come up? The 30th floor is probably the first time, but from here you can’t move alone. Come with us.”

“Uh huh. I know you’re used to walking alone, but even on the 30th floor, do you become a dropout? I can’t go up.”

Unlike before, you have to climb as a group.

There is no choice. Because it is impossible to go up to the 30th floor without forming a team.

People who go around diligently to secure team members.

Those who belonged to it seemed to have already gathered members, so it was relatively relaxed, and those who had no affiliation or were in small guilds, several large guild teams that were empty because the timing was not right, were looking around with their eyes flashing.

‘Everyone has an assortment to some extent.’

I walked the streets and saw how teams are made.

Roughly, the number of team members ranges from four to six.

A person in charge of the front and one or two ranged dealers. Most of them are a scout or healer combination in one rear support.

Healers are precious, so most teams consist of reconnaissance teams.

Let’s pick the least popular role.

“ah! I’m not doing reconnaissance!”

“Aren’t you going to use it as an arrowhead? Find someone else.”

“I don’t even have search skills. If so, would you do that?”

It was a reconnaissance role that had to detect danger in the forefront.

The people who came this far were the ones who encountered all sorts of dangers and traps after entering the tower.

No one wants to go through the trouble of buying one.

Especially for those who come to the 30th floor and see it for the first time.

‘I have to save the team, too.’

Let’s start thinking about what to do later.

Turned on the community and sent a personal message to Nyangnyangpunch.

I have a favor to ask.

[Petit Gongdu]: Cat Fun! I’m on the 20th floor right now!

[Nyangnyang Punch]: Yes. Defense event must be done.

[Petit Gongdu]: Can you do me a favor?

[Nyangnyang Punch]: Please?

[Petit Gongdu]: Yep. If you go to Bella’s snack shop, there’s Rilka, right?

[Nyangnyangpunch]: Oh, that beast kid. It’s notorious for being a forced quest… but it seems to be a bit rare these days.

That’s because I’m doing that damn compulsory quest.

Whoa. He let out a small sigh.

Rilka’s quest materials… I’ve gathered all of them. The problem is that I am on the 30th floor and Rilka is on the 20th floor.

[Petit Gongdu]: I will punish you in the name of justice, so can you tell me to come to the 30th floor?

[Nyangnyang Punch]: Are you on the 30th floor?

[Petit Gongdu]: Gogerson privacy. (Frinkle!)

I sent a document to Nyang Fun as a private transaction.

[Petit Gongdu]: Voila! I’m sorry if you just ask! Here is a list of monsters that appear during the defense event! It will help.

[Nyangnyang Punch]: Aaaah! Hehe… I don’t know where Gongdyu is! I have to go to a snack bar!

After all, it’s good to say Nyangpun.

Then, until Rilka comes, let’s take a look at the atmosphere on the 30th floor.

Grab an inn as well.

I’m out of place

“What is that?”

It wasn’t long before I was able to see a subtle sight.
