Episode 94

According to Leona, the Bone Fortress guys were issuing a lockdown order not on the 21st floor, but on the entire 20th floor.

He said he hasn’t heard any news of it being lifted, so the lockdown may not have been lifted yet.

“It’s one thing to think of it as a time zone, but if you look at the circumstances, wouldn’t it be more natural to think of it as the bone fortress blocking off any further damage after sensing the strangely changed floor?”

Although Leona said so, she looked uneasy as if she didn’t really believe it herself.

“I said that, but I guess you still don’t believe me.”

“Of course, how can I trust those guys?”

When we told this to the players, opinions were split evenly between those who believed in the Bone Fortress and those who did not.

“Hmm… It’s true that they are suspicious, but they are also one of the forces of the Tower. They wouldn’t just stand by and watch the Tower fall into chaos. Wouldn’t they have volunteered to take care of it?”

“If they were just leaving it alone after half a year of coming up with a plan and then failing… then there’s a chance. Of course, they might have their own agenda, but even so, they wouldn’t turn all the players on the 21st floor into enemies, right?”

But seeing as they didn’t completely believe in the Bone Fortress, it seemed like everyone had accepted the fact that the Bone Fortress was somewhat related.

I, too, would have liked to immediately defeat those prophets and quickly move on to the next floor, but the problem was that I was currently moving without them knowing.

What if these guys are really in league with the false prophets? What if they’ve really sealed off Floor 21 and are doing something?

So the moment I caught their eye even a little, my second realm would become a thing of the much more distant future.

That is, in order for me to achieve my goal here, I first need to confirm whether the false prophet guys and the bone fortress are connected.

If they’re not related, I can just be active enough to not be noticed and kill the prophets to complete the quest, but what if they’re related?

‘Things will get complicated then.’

You shouldn’t make too much of a fuss to attract the attention of the Bone Fortress, but you also shouldn’t disturb the Bone Fortress personnel and give them cause for suspicion.

However, since we have to kill the prophets who are cooperating with them, it is only natural that we should not be noticed in the process.

I was momentarily dizzy from the tangled problem that made me wonder where and how to start, so I decided to start by checking the most urgent things.

“Have you seen any of the Bone Fortress guys on this floor?”

If the guys had anything to do with this floor, they would have definitely sent their own personnel.

That’s why I asked that, thinking that just checking their faces would solve things to some extent.

“……Keep…….”

“Even if you say that…….”

Glance, glance.

Players who look at me without saying a word.

It was only then that I realized that they had been trapped here for a year.

And they had clearly seen me dealing with the undead… … .

“……Let me tell you in advance, I am not a fortress of bones.”

It was my fault for not correcting the misunderstanding that I belonged to the same group as them quickly.

As expected, they were very surprised by those words, and even more surprised when I told them that I was fighting the bone fortress alone.

“Ke, keheng! I should have known from the moment you said you were fighting the Prophet!”

“Mom, I appreciate you saving my life, but I think I need to think twice about helping you…….”

Not only that, but Leona frowned slightly at the sight of him even trying to distance himself from her.

I didn’t even ask for help, so I guess that’s how it would be.

“I told you earlier, the only reason I helped you was to get information. I never specifically asked you to help me.”

“……Ugh.”

Only then did they realize their actions and hesitate a little, and I once again drove a wedge into each other’s positions.

“All we ask of you is to give you as much information as we can, nothing more, nothing less. After the conversation, you may do as you wish.”

“Is that really true?”

However, among the players who heard those words, the rabbit human asked me to confirm again as if he couldn’t believe it.

“If I do that, will I be able to repay all the money you helped me with?”

“Okay, so just answer my questions quickly.”

Let me emphasize this again, only then, while mumbling, did they begin to pour out their information again.

“At least on this floor… I haven’t seen any of those guys.”

“I haven’t seen a single person even though I’ve been there for quite some time.”

“You too? I’ve been here for quite some time, but it’s strange how I’ve never seen any of those guys…….”

They all say they have never seen those guys.

Even in the prison where they were held, where the players were gathered, they say they didn’t see a single Bone Fortress member.

“The Prophet’s zealots threw us into prison, but we didn’t see a single one in the Bone Fortress or even a single one that looked like a necromancer.”

If I had seen one or two, I wouldn’t have noticed, but since I said I hadn’t seen a single one, I was suspicious.

“Now that I think about it, these guys, they seem a bit overly surprised at the sight of your undead.”

As Leona said, few people have been this surprised by the sight of the undead.

Besides, for such a surprising person, the sense of surprise seemed a bit… …different.

“It might just be these guys, so I guess I’ll have to try contacting the other guys first.”

“That would be best.”

I don’t know how many of these guys there are, but there probably isn’t only one force like this in the world.

If you look, you’ll probably find one or two more of these guys, so it seems like you’ll have to watch their reactions more closely when you come into contact with them.

“Keheng. If you’re going to find these fanatic units, just stay on this road.”

According to the information provided by the rabbit man, it seems that he will only need to stay here for another day or so.

So what should we do during that time?

“Oh, by the way, we haven’t signed our loyalty oath yet, right?”

“I guess I can do that while I wait.”

I didn’t use it on the 20th floor because it felt like a bit of a trick, but since what’s happening on this floor is abnormal, I can’t just save money.

That was when I was thinking that I should just wait here and do that.

“Then…… let’s go now.”

“Thank you for saving me.”

The players I had saved all bowed their heads as they said that.

Since I had no more business with them anyway, I was just about to give them a quick greeting and proceed with the pledge of allegiance.

With strides.

Among the players, a rabbit person broke away from the group and soon began to approach Leona and me.

Just a moment ago, the guy who had been cursing at me and calling me a crazy person approached me, and I was starting to get suspicious.

“Keheng, can you stick around just until I clear the quest?”

The rabbit man asked so.

Just as I was about to decline the sudden joining, the rabbit man opened a system window and started manipulating something.

Then, ten sheets of sparkling blue paper appeared in her hands.

Leona’s eyes sparkled when she saw that and she muttered.

“……Ten million points?”

“Keheng, even if we die and wake up, it’ll be hard to clear the quest with our own strength. In that case, I’d rather gamble and see if I can get out of here.”

It’s gambling.

Sure enough, I could see why it was called gambling, judging by the not-so-kind gazes of the players looking at the rabbit people approaching me.

Of course, I didn’t like the fact that I was suddenly treated like gambling, but I didn’t say anything because I knew that the stakes were my life.

It looks like Leona has already noticed that point and isn’t even trying to oppose it.

From my perspective, I didn’t really object to it, as I knew that clearing the level with one of these burdens would result in a higher achievement.

“If you get in my way, I will kill you and raise you as an undead.”

I warned them that if they showed any signs of being in the way, I would kill them immediately.

The guy’s mouth, which had been slightly open and revealing his front teeth, seemed to have become slightly nervous at those words, but then he shut it tightly.

“……Okay, I understand.”

For the first time, I decided to turn my attention away from the guy as he spoke properly.

Since the guy’s goal was to stick by our side and somehow clear the quest, there was no benefit to worrying about each other.

“You! If these points are of no use right now, I can take them…….”

Of course, I was concerned about Leona, who was smiling brightly at the sudden point.

“Let’s decide after we first sign the oath of loyalty or something.”

As soon as the word loyalty oath was mentioned, that reaction completely disappeared.

“……Okay, once I do that, I’ll be able to do anything.”

Then, with a “swish,” Leona looked at the place where the players had just been.

Seeing that the people had disappeared, either into the forest or running across the path, Leona snickered, holding the blood-stained greatsword and armor.

“It’s a pledge of loyalty made right after a fight. It’s a scene that seems to come out of a chivalric tale.”

“Isn’t the atmosphere too light for something that is about dedicating loyalty?”

No, maybe it’s because my article’s standard is Kelvin.

Leona, who had not responded to my words, quickly placed her greatsword in front of her, then knelt on one knee and bowed her head toward me.

“It’s really uncool to keep mumbling while doing something like this… but since this is your first time, I’ll teach you. First, I’m putting this sword in to tell you that as your knight, I won’t point my sword at you recklessly.”

Then she urged me to take out the sword I had.

As I took out the Sword of the Nameless One from my inventory, she also placed the sword on my right shoulder and spoke.

“This means that I entrust my life to you, and at the same time, it means that you entrust your life to me.”

“……I feel like I have to say something that seems meaningful.”

As I muttered, feeling like I had seen this behavior a few times, Leona suddenly started saying something as if she had been waiting for it.

“Born as a man, yet made of iron; born with emotions, yet now made of weapons; I entrust everything to you. You are my master and knight, and I am your knight and sword.”

Leona muttered quietly after saying that.

“……This is different for each article, so you don’t have to answer. Just quietly tap my shoulder and sword with your sword.”

“Is that the end?”

“That’s what it is. In effect, it’s like a pledge to the Sword God to watch over our relationship.”

I thought it was just an oath, but is there a god involved here too?

“……I don’t know if it’s really related, it’s just something that was passed down, so don’t make such a serious face. Hurry up.”

As she whined and complained that she was frustrated, I hesitated a little and started to think of something.

The sights and words I saw from the knights I saw outside the tower.

And… …recalling that memory from more than 10 years ago.

“I will remember you until the day I breathe my last.”

Leaving a word behind, I tapped her shoulder and the sword of the nameless one.

At the same time, I felt the power in my hand holding the sword.

‘This is… … .’

While I was slightly bewildered by the power that was unlike any power I had ever felt before, Leona spoke as if she was surprised.

“Did you come up with that phrase?”

“Is there a problem?”

Swish.

As she pulled the greatsword out of the ground, I felt a power similar to the one I felt in my hand holding the sword.

I would say it feels very similar to the feeling of being connected to the undead.

“No, just, a little…….”

Scratch scratch.

Leona scratched her cheek with her finger and said with a smile.

“Because I’m staring.”

I confiscated the ten million points she had just received for embezzlement.

And a few hours later last night.

“……come.”

I heard something coming from the street.
