Episode 93

[21st floor quest.]

[This is the world of false prophets.]

[They called themselves representatives of God and defined those who did not follow them as heretics.]

[But their misdeeds eventually reached the ears of a god, and their world eventually received the god’s wrath.]

[The golden rice fields that once bountifully harvested crops are now withering and turning black, and the rivers and seas that were once teeming with fish are now dry and showing their bottoms.]

[Kill the heretic disguised as a prophet.]

[Before God’s wrath destroys this world.]

“Ohhhhh!”

Just as I was reading through all the translucent windows, I heard a sound from somewhere.

Unlike the overgrown forest we were in, the direction the sound came from was along a road that seemed to be smoothly groomed.

There were people gathered there, talking about something.

“Offer a sacrifice!”

“We must offer them up to our God and appease his anger!”

“Kill the chosen one!”

If it was just one or two people, I wouldn’t have noticed, but seeing so many people shouting like that, almost filling the street, brought back bad memories.

‘… … No, anyway, this world itself is a place similar to those guys.’

Holy Land.

They didn’t have much in common with those guys, but they had the same crazy look in their eyes and the same way they cried out to their gods.

And that alone was enough to make me feel disgusted.

“Dracolich, do you have a spell that can wipe out those guys in one go?”

I was about to order that, feeling like I would only feel better if I just wiped those ugly bastards out of my sight.

“……Wait a minute, wait a minute.”

Leona, who had been watching the situation with me, seemed to have a different opinion, so she stopped me by saying this.

“If what I know is true, the sacrifice those guys are talking about is……”

That was when.

“Ahhhhh!”

There appear to be three people, tied up with ropes among the men, screaming.

No, one of them looked more like an animal than a human.

“That’s…….”

“Player.”

A being with a mixed human-animal appearance that we’ve seen several times in the safe zone.

Players who were climbing the tower with us were screaming while being held captive by them.

It was clear that it was definitely not a scream of joy.

“I never thought the sacrifice they were offering was a player.”

“You’re not planning on wiping those people out too, are you?”

Leona takes up the greatsword she was carrying on her shoulder.

When I saw her looking like she was about to run away at any moment, I immediately opened my inventory and gave an order.

“No way. Those guys are the most important source of information here.”

“……I don’t even count as an informant?”

As Leona muttered like that, I quietly counted the numbers on my fingers.

-3, 2, 1.

Finally, as my index finger folded, my army, led by Leona in the vanguard, began to charge towards them.

“What, what is it!”

“It’s an attack! Are they other prophets!?”

“Eek! Skeleton! Skeleton!”

While they were confused by the sudden attack, Leona, who was at the forefront, raised her sword and cut down the guys in the middle.

Choaaaak!

As four of my comrades fell in an instant, only then did the properly equipped men counterattack us.

“Lord……Kill me!”

“The dead man! The dead man is back!”

“Oh my god…….”

But their morale was not high.

As if they were afraid of my undead, they were all busy choosing to run away rather than defend themselves, and my undead killed them without missing a beat.

[… … I don’t even want to waste my precious eyes on these guys.]

Crunch, crunch!

The spider’s sharp front and hind legs pierce their bodies.

[Do you think you can run away!]

The dracolich’s magical bombardment and forelegs tore them apart.

-Right, right.

-Tattadattadattadak… … .

Above all, hundreds of skeleton soldiers were turning anyone they could get their hands on into corpses like themselves.

The first battle I fought after entering the 21st floor ended so blandly that it felt pointless.

“Leona. Have you ever missed one?”

Knock knock.

Even though I showed myself openly from the middle, they didn’t even think about attacking me.

That’s why, even though I was watching the situation on the battlefield, I still gave Leona one more confirmation kill.

“No, no. If he had escaped in this chaos, wouldn’t he have been a great man?”

Leona simply said that while wiping the blood off her greatsword.

So now all that’s left is to hear information from them.

“……P, Player!? Player, you guys!?”

Players who were screaming just a moment ago while tied up with ropes.

They were now approaching us with looks of disbelief.

But among those players, the one that stands out the most is… … .

“K, Keheng, how long has it been since I’ve seen this player…….”

Its head has two ears extending towards the sky, red eyes, and a mouth that looks more like an animal’s snout than a human’s.

It was a player who seemed to have a half rabbit and half human appearance mixed together.

“Thank you…… Thank you so much……”

And starting with that player, they expressed their gratitude to me, even shedding tears.

Judging from the fact that it was being offered as a sacrifice, it would almost certainly have died if left alone, so this kind of reaction was not unreasonable.

“There’s no need to be thankful. There was a reason I saved you all.”

“Why……if you say so?”

But the reason I saved them was to get information about this floor.

That’s why I’m thinking about the possibility of using force to threaten them if they don’t open their mouths obediently.

“I want you to tell me everything you know about this floor.”

I told them so.

And their reaction is.

“The fourth prophet! We must kill the fourth prophet first!”

“No! The fifth prophet’s power is much more difficult!”

“The first prophet must be killed last!”

Contrary to my expectations, he was rather anxious about not being able to provide any information.

Leona, who came out from behind and calmed them down again on my behalf, who was slightly flustered by the reaction.

“Okay, first of all, you guys from the front, please speak in order.”

That’s how we could hear information about this world from them.

Of course, most of the information contained their subjective opinions, but that was a minor issue.

After listening to all six of their stories, I was able to get a rough idea of ​​how the world worked.

‘Originally, there were six of those false prophets, and they were fighting each other, and this world was going to be destroyed, so the player’s role is to kill them. That’s what the system window says.’

But according to them, at some point the six false prophets began to join forces.

Although they were fighting among themselves, at some point they decided to first eliminate players who threatened them.

“……Starting from the 20th floor, the floors themselves are guarding against the players.”

“No, originally that would be impossible.”

According to Leona, it is a very heterogeneous thing.

At least up to the 29th floor, where he had previously climbed, that had never happened.

What’s more, the strangeness was amplified by the words of one of the captured players.

“About a year ago… the number of players coming here started to decrease. If I think about it, it was probably around that time that they joined forces.”

“Who did the talking?”

A world that is changing so strangely that even they themselves realize how strange it is.

But they didn’t pay much attention to the quest they had to clear, and it soon turned into a huge disaster.

“Right now, this place is a place where players get bloodshot eyes and attack. You guys should also be careful as much as possible… Ugh, they attack day and night, so I can’t even sleep.”

“No matter what the quest is, you have to survive first…….”

Their appearances were clearly exhausting at first glance.

While listening to their conversation, Leona frowned and muttered.

“I never thought something like this would happen… If this happens, all the information I knew will become useless.”

“The point is lost.”

I threw it out there as a joke, but Leona’s face was so serious.

“The point isn’t the issue. If those guys had joined forces… it might have been a bit difficult for you too.”

“That tidy guy.”

She must have seen the scene where I and the God of Magic confront each other, but she still evaluates it as being difficult.

But the players who were hearing that were surprised at something else.

“Are you planning to confront the prophets!? Are you crazy!?”

“Ke, keheng! He was a crazy guy…… Keuhuk…….”

They were calling us crazy, as if it was surprising that we even thought of fighting them.

Eventually, there were even guys who tried to talk to us as if they were trying to stop us, and Leona muttered in surprise at the players’ reactions, more surprised than I was.

“The quest objective is to kill the Prophet, so what can you do!? Since you are also players, you have to deal with it somehow before you can return, right?”

Now that I think about it, the quest objective is to kill the Prophet, but how did Leona get out of here?

“Leona, did you kill the prophet when you raided this floor before?”

“Yes? Of course I killed them! Of course, I formed a party with dozens of players and attacked them…….”

It turns out he didn’t kill it alone.

Hearing her words, the players all muttered in envy.

“Dozens of people… Do we really need that many people to gather…?”

“But now, isn’t it hard to find other players besides us?”

By the way, I think you said that the number of players coming here has almost disappeared.

It may be natural that you can’t conquer the area even if you want to because players don’t gather.

“Can you guess why the number of players has decreased?”

“I don’t know! We were just staying on this floor, and then all of a sudden the number of players suddenly decreased…….”

But since they don’t know the reason, this was a question that Leona and I, who came in a little while ago, had to solve.

“Leona, have you ever heard the rumor that you shouldn’t go up to the 21st floor?”

“Well? It’s been so long since I’ve been on that floor that I wouldn’t have paid attention even if I heard that news… Oh, really?”

Leona, who had been mumbling as if she had just realized something, spoke as if she had remembered something.

“I heard that they restricted access to the floors because they were doing some construction at the Bone Fortress. But that was only half a year ago, and it should have been lifted already… Could that be related?”

She claimed that the time zones didn’t match, but since I already knew the whole story, I had an inkling of something.

“……It seems to me that there is enough.”

The treasure of the guys hidden on the 25th floor.

That might have something to do with it.
