Episode 192 – The one who flies above the one who runs

Before entering the tower, Hwanung and Mihyeon had this conversation.

No matter how I thought about it, the atmosphere was just too good.

A person went missing.

No matter how much the church made clear the seriousness of the situation, it was not an insignificant matter.

An incident where people who were fine went missing and even made news articles.

However, Yamamoto’s attitude toward his family and the commander-in-chief was strangely calm.

There was no sign of anxiety, no mention of having to hurry, and not even a single minor conflict arose.

“Isn’t it strange?”

“I think so too.”

“I brought it just in case, but I wonder if it will work?”

“I’ll take care of that.”

Hwanung handed something to Mihyeon.

A small drone.

It was a filming drone that only worked inside the tower.

I brought it just in case, but I didn’t know it would be helpful in a place like this.

Mihyeon also immediately noticed his intention and took action.

I don’t know what their plan is, but they should know.

There is always someone above the one who runs, and above those who are confident, there are monsters who enjoy themselves.

Hwanung planned to become a monster.

“I didn’t trust them in the first place, but I don’t like them anymore.”

“Me too. I’m the first to ask for help, but I’m also hiding something… … . That’s a betrayal of trust.”

“You’ll know once you go.”

As long as there were summons, Hwanung himself was invincible.

[Enter the tower.]

Back to the present.

Hwanung slowly turned his head and looked around from the [safe zone].

I looked around from left to right to get a feel for the atmosphere.

A very warm wind blew.

A place where torches made of small sparks swayed precariously and the pure white ground was impressive.

But outside the safe zone, a heavy snowstorm was blowing.

‘You have to get through there.’

Outside there was only ruins, a field completely destroyed and distorted.

The monsters that appear are [Boss’s servants] and those who destroyed this place, Rubinos.

This Mt. Fuji was the place that would become the main stage for Gina and Nergo.

[Communication with the outside world is cut off from this tower.]

[Your body temperature will continue to drop as you go outside the safe zone.]

[When a snowstorm hits, the rate at which body temperature drops becomes even faster.]

[You can block the cold with something with fire properties.]

[Thirst and Hunger levels are activated.]

[Thirst becomes 0% after 3 days, hunger becomes 0% after 1 week, and death occurs.]

[You can fill your stomach by hunting monsters located in various places or by bringing food.]

[Snowstorm disappears ‘permanently’ when you defeat the boss monster.]

[Escape method]

[After settling the compensation in the safe zone, exit]

[After dying in the field and losing all rewards, exit]

How old is this tower?

It’s been at least 10 years, and you haven’t dealt with the boss even once in that time?

I had a feeling something was a bit strange.

Well, once you go there you’ll know.

After reading the description of the tower, other things began to catch my eye.

Wheein-.

A small drone soared into the sky through the blizzard.

“I don’t know if I can hold out.”

“Well, that’s true. I wish they would reveal their true feelings sooner… … .”

As the two were talking, Commander-in-Chief Yamamoto approached.

He approached me with a smiling face, and it was hard to get used to him because he really looked like a cartoon character.

“This is where people went missing. And… … these are the clues.”

“Where are the people who said they would help?”

“Oh, I’ll investigate first. There’s a base camp nearby, so should we talk on the way there?”

“Yes, I think Lady Jaina could take a look at this.”

“This person… … ?”

Mihyeon, or Jaina, smiled and took a step forward.

“Because I have [Psychometry] among my skills.”

“Oh, I see. Then take a look.”

Mihyeon walked and tried to touch the object the commander had brought.

At that moment, Hwanung’s summoning began.

Phage crackle-!

The subspace opens and summoned creatures rush out.

Kuung-!

A giant dragon appeared, and a knight appeared, riding a spirit horse and radiating golden aura.

A female warrior with wind-like aura and a gray knight who seemed capable of blocking any attack also appeared.

What about those who followed?

“Hehehehe!”

“Did you call, Master?”

Jang-Biz’s cavalry has now grown considerably in number.

The knights lined up behind Lucas.

The free-spirited Suin tribe and the warrior group… … .

All of these people moved only for Hwanung.

The commander-in-chief couldn’t hide his naturally opening mouth and his round eyes.

The shock was even greater because I actually witnessed a scene that seemed like something out of a cartoon or movie.

He tried to send a signal hurriedly somewhere.

If it hadn’t been for the words that came out first.

“Master, what’s around here?”

“omg……!”

“Really? Nergo, can you fly?”

[Yeah. It might be a bit difficult, but… … it’s possible to clear away the snowstorm for a little while.]

She took a deep breath, sighing.

It seemed like the commander was trying to say something, but Nergo’s movements were even faster.

Of course, the other summons all covered their ears.

The fact that he was constantly covering his ears was also evidence that this wasn’t the first or second time he had experienced this.

[Kuaaa …

Sound waves filled with power spread far and wide.

In the place where the dragon’s powerful roar passed, mana moved all at once, clearing away the thick fog and snowstorm.

It disappeared like that, as if the place I had colored in with an eraser had been erased.

“omg!?”

“what!?”

“This… this is ridiculous… this is ridiculous.”

It seemed like I was hearing lines I had seen a lot in comics here and there.

Hwanung saw the two images overlapping and burst into laughter.

Among those hiding here and there, there were also heads of households who had not looked at him kindly earlier.

Surely, you’re not hiding this as some kind of secret, are you?

“This, this is… … So!”

“Shall we handle it?”

“Would you like that?”

“No! No! It was my fault! We were momentarily blinded-.”

The commander-in-chief hurriedly jumped in front of Hwanung.

He was so flustered that he didn’t even realize that a knife was being held to his neck.

Before he knew it, Eyasu had pulled out his sword and stopped General Yamamoto from approaching Hwanung.

Here, Hwanung felt uneasy once again.

How can someone called the commander-in-chief be so reckless?

There were so many strange things that he turned his head and looked elsewhere.

At that moment, I saw a woman walking from afar.

“Huh… … ?”

And the woman had an all too familiar appearance.

Long sniper rifle.

A hat that looks like something Russian soldiers would wear in a snowy field.

An all-white outfit.

A white sniper with bleached hair that turned completely white.

Hwanung looked at her and licked his lips.

Because it was such a famous character, and he was a sniper that he also used.

“… … Action.”

“Please stop, Your Excellency.”

“Stop, you suspicious person.”

Ayas, who had stepped forward in front of Hwanung, and Lucas, who was ready to attack at any time, spoke to her.

A gap where you can be cut down immediately if you come one step closer.

The Japanese climbers who had been hiding in a critical situation came rushing in.

Hwanung looked straight into her, Action’s eyes, and was lost in thought.

I felt the vivid colors of her soul, and was amazed by her avatar, which seemed to be a direct replica of a game character.

I started to wonder anew just how far my own [Pestis Saga] influence came from and how far it extended.

‘Ardor, and other characters too… … .’

Perhaps, they are waiting at the very top of the so-called religious order.

As he pondered these thoughts, Action laid down his weapons and knelt on one knee.

“Please forgive my rudeness. I had to confirm something with you. What I feel from you is… … .”

“Okay. I know what you mean, so stop there.”

“Understood. Commander-in-Chief… … I was the one who sat there, but I was doing all the work. I will formally introduce myself. I am Action, [Seiei Misaki], the head of the Weriber Japanese Church branch.”

Action immediately reveals his real name.

The aura I felt from her was definitely that of Action.

“You are even more amazing than I thought. I will provide you with compensation here and support after you leave. So please, let go of your anger… … .”

“Okay, I accept the apology. Nothing has happened yet.”

“Thank you so much for your understanding, Hahae.”

Action smiled and stood up from his seat.

Meanwhile, it seemed that Mihyeon had finished the analysis using psychometry.

“We can follow the traces, but it seems inefficient to move so many people.”

“Were you able to see what happened?”

“As Philip said, it seems like we were attacked by people. I don’t know their identity.”

“First of all, I have no choice but to physically collide with it… … .”

Action took out a map and placed it on the floor.

The map showed the topography of this tower.

It was a terrain with large canyons, ruins, and altars with bosses, as well as coniferous areas that could withstand blizzards.

A map that has been carefully recorded over a period of over 10 years.

“Here, near the canyon, all traces are lost. I think we can start our investigation from here.”

“Okay. Then, how many groups can we divide it into?”

“The church will move with the guest. And the families of the victims will search together.”

Hwanung nodded.

What about the rest? What are we going to do with it?

“The rest will be tasked with clearing out the area, as there are Red Army soldiers and the Queen’s minions roaming around.”

“Why didn’t you catch that queen?”

“It’s not that I couldn’t catch it, it’s that I didn’t catch it. It’s because it’s not efficient.”

The reason was immediately obvious.

“It’s because the quality of the looks coming from the servants is high. If you kill the boss and the blizzard stops, the supply of looks will become difficult.”

“Hmm… … . It’s some kind of workshop.”

“That is not a wrong statement.”

I roughly understand the situation.

It was also information that couldn’t be found on YouTube or the internet.

It seems that the government and the clan association are probably controlling it.

[The draw stack is full.]

‘It’s about time.’

Hwanung performed a draw with 10 stacks to replenish his power.

The call of the soul is not set intentionally.

Normally, it was just to gather various summons and deploy them in the right places.

A summoned beast of hot energy that is summoned in a rush.

Now, the summoning of the summoned beast is halfway done.

I slowly checked the list because I could organize them into legions after confirmation.

[N-grade… … .]

[… … .]

[… … .]

[Rated R: Three Stars – Epsilon is Summoned.]

“……uh?”

And then we met again.
