Episode 229 – What is the identity of the tower?

When I came out of the gate, surprisingly, the world didn’t change or anything.

Instead, a completely different reality unfolded.

In a place where the entire world was made of water, a small island and a tall tower caught Hwanung’s eye.

Ravi said, near the Maldives.

Hwanung looked up at the tower and exclaimed in admiration, followed by Ravi’s explanation.

“There was a tower in a place like this too.”

“You just need to clear this tower. Be careful. [Request] will unfold in the same situation as training.”

“That means you could die.”

“That’s right. A lot of things will change as we move into the next round. This is one of them.”

Ravi, who generously reveals things that have been kept secret until now.

There was a lot of anticipation about how much he could reveal and what hints he would give.

Hwanung asked something he had been curious about for a long time.

“Why on earth was the tower built, and what is its purpose?”

“You will understand it soon. I will just say that this is the minimum arrangement for training purposes.”

“hmm…….”

“It is a tool with various purposes, but this is the one that applies to Hwanung at the moment.”

It is a tool with various purposes… … .

Hwanung nodded and headed towards the entrance of the tower.

What kind of adventure awaits you this time?

‘I said it was a request.’

Orcs, and machine-equipped monsters.

The secret must be inside this tower.

Hwanung quietly placed his hand on the entrance to the tower.

[Enter the tower.]

[This tower was built for a special purpose.]

[The rules for the next round apply.]

[Only participants commissioned by the messenger can enter the tower.]

“That’s right.”

You could say it’s a 2nd round trial version.

Hwanung steeled his resolve and entered the tower.

It was the beginning of a request.

[The tower’s objective is updated.]

[Request: The cornerstone for resurrection]

[Client: Sole Survivor – ???]

[Objective: Destroy all facilities]

[Reward: Summon]

“What are these insincere messages?”

Even though I don’t know who wrote it, the information I could get was severely limited.

There was no lobby, just a barren land that signaled the start of the stage.

A wide plain.

Red land.

A dull gray sky.

It was a desolate land that you could tell at a glance that something was wrong.

And there was one more peculiar thing that I noticed.

They were giant tentacle-like things made of metal.

“Let’s start with the summons first.”

[Stage 1 will start shortly.]

[Objective: Destroy the facility]

[Time limit: None]

[There is a challenge.]

“What is the challenge?”

[Complete the request using only SR grade or higher]

[Reward: 3 SSR-grade summons, many equipment items, reinforcement materials]

“Um… … . This is a challenge where we don’t know how many orcs will appear… … .”

But it didn’t matter.

After all, summoned creatures can evolve within subspace.

If you roughly scrape everything together, there will be quite a lot of SR grades.

‘I can’t even count them all now.’

First of all, I planned to clear out all the summons before leaving.

I had been keeping a lot of R-rated ones aside in preparation for the war of attrition, but I was thinking of organizing them sometime.

“Synthesize and evolve R-grade named summons, excluding spirits, by category.”

[Evolution is in progress.]

[SR Grade: Shadow Warrior (x3) has been summoned.]

[SR Grade: Elf Ranger (x2) has been summoned.]

[… … .]

There are sixteen SR grade units summoned in this way.

I thought about pulling out an SSR grade one as well, but decided to supplement it in a crisis situation.

In addition, Hwanung incorporated each summoned creature into his army and summoned them all.

Phage crackle-!

The subspace opened up, and now a force that could compete with any mountaineering club poured out.

“Master, have you called?”

“Meet the Master!”

While everyone was exchanging friendly greetings, Gideon looked at the elves with sparkling eyes.

And then he said.

“They are my compatriots. I thought they were all dead… … .”

“Isn’t that a good thing? It seems like we’ve become connected to that world since we accepted the Orcs.”

“That’s really great. I’ll have to be more loyal in the future.”

From Hwanung’s perspective, it was a good thing that there were more long-range physical dealers.

Most of the summons were magic, monsters, or those who preferred close combat.

By the way, will there be people who use guns later on?

“So? Where is this? This… … I’ve seen it somewhere.”

Jinaga asked Hwanung, and he frowned as he looked at the red metal tentacles.

If she’s smart, she’ll figure out what this is in no time.

But surprisingly, the answer came from Nergo first.

[This is Rubinos’ facility. I remember the Guardians going around destroying it. My mother was one of them.]

“That’s right.”

“Huh… … . So does that mean this is their territory?”

“I think so. I heard that there are people who have modified orcs, so I came to investigate.”

“Okay. Let’s just get rid of them all.”

Hwanung looked at the strong-willed Jinna and checked her condition.

What’s the status?

Of course, it was a state for transcendence.

[The Path of Transcendence]

[Magic usage of 6 circles or higher: 883/5,000]

[Rubinos’ facility destroyed: 0/100]

[Training from a wizard of Grand Mage or higher level: 0/1]

[???]

I was wondering what the destruction of Rubinos’ facility meant, and it turned out to mean something like this.

Hwanung realized this as he looked at the tentacles that spread out here and there like the roots of a giant tree.

That’s why Gina’s quest popped up like that.

Well then, we need to solve it.

“If you follow this, you’ll come across a facility or something. Let’s go.”

“All right.”

The movement has begun.

I intentionally did not bring out summoned creatures such as cavalry and golems.

Even if we took out the big guys, there was a high chance that only their movements would be discovered.

‘It’s said that it’s for the sake of seizing the initiative during the Orc era-.’

It was a completely useless action here.

Hwanung borrowed Narae’s power to levitate into the air and move with her.

Is this the power of superpowers?

Being able to float without a vehicle was a greater pleasure than I had expected.

“I see it over there.”

A huge structure came into view.

A facility where red steam constantly rises.

And then a great number of Rubinos’ troops appeared.

Orcs, in numbers that seem far greater than the forces sent by the Guardians of Doom.

So that’s why it was called a challenge?

Hwanung burst out laughing in disbelief.

It reminded me of a large-scale battle scene from a fantasy movie.

A scene where the ground was not visible and only people were crowded together.

“Well then, shall we start with a big one? Ignis, are you ready?”

[Of course!]

[Ice]

Whoosh whoosh-!

A huge flame enveloped Hwanung.

Gina and Nergo also began preparing great magic.

Kurururur, the enemies seemed to be moving busily as if they felt the mana vibrating.

“Everyone, prepare for battle!”

“Let’s protect the Master and the Wizard!”

The melee summons rushed forward to form a defensive formation.

Even while Hwanung was gathering the power of the spirits through his spirit possession, he continued to give orders faithfully.

[First, we’ll break through to that building.]

[The wizard creates a path and breaks through.]

Hwanung’s command was relayed to everyone, and they moved organically with one mind and one purpose.

The beginning was Hwanung.

“I will make the way.”

Two huge flames shot out in a straight line.

It felt like the famous magic [Fire Wall] had been scaled up hundreds of times.

The explosion was a bonus.

Kwakwakwakwang-!

With a chain of explosions, a path of flames was created.

“let’s go!”

“I will escort Nergo.”

Lucy and the angels also moved.

They were living bombers, the embodiment of battlefield dominance.

The purple breath and the gray-toned divine power swept away the path of fire in two directions.

“It’s cool. Guys, run-!”

“yes-!”

As Narae ran and waved her hands, the flames began to rise more fiercely on both sides.

Wind and fire create synergy with each other.

She was the embodiment of power, and Rubinos’ army began to burn down.

In addition, Gina’s magic buffed all summons.

[Elemental Body]

[Attack power of all attributes of the target increases.]

[All attribute damage is reduced.]

[All attributes are buffed.]

“Hey, what do we have to do?”

“It’s not over yet. We must pave the way as the vanguard.”

“Okay! Let’s go!”

Diana and Lucas took the lead and began to cut down the remaining troops.

How much time has passed?

Some familiar faces have started to appear among Rubinos’ forces.

“Chwiiik-!”

“Kill him! Kill him!”

The protagonists were semi-mechanized orcs.

I looked down from the back of the passing Nergo.

Arms or legs.

Or maybe a fully mechanized orc was charging at them, having lost his wits.

Jinna gritted her teeth and cast the spell.

Since I couldn’t suppress my boiling emotions, I tried to release them through magic.

Sister Rebecca must have gone through a similar process.

Horrible experiments would have been carried out, and torture would have followed.

“Things like trash… … .”

I absolutely could not forgive him.

She experimented by shooting magic at a large structure.

A 5-circle magic was created in an instant and exploded on the outer wall of the building.

[Fire Cannon]

Kwaaaaang-!

A huge flame rose up, but the building did not move an inch.

Nergo observed the phenomenon closely and came up with his own analysis.

[I think it has to be destroyed from inside the building. Or by destroying it with really overwhelming force.]

“Considering cost-effectiveness, it would be better to break it from the inside.”

[Let’s go back to Dad first.]

The road is almost clear.

It seems that there are no troops that can stop Hwanung’s summoned creatures, who are a small but elite force.

Maybe it’s because it’s on the outskirts.

[Briefly summoned.]

Hwanung’s voice was heard, and all the summoned creatures in the air were summoned back.

At the same time, Hwanung gave an order to Narae.

“Blow the entrance away.”

“As ordered.”

Those guys who keep coming in one after another can be dealt with at the narrow entrance.

Hwanung planned to solve Lucas’ quest by placing him at a narrow entrance.

If Miho and another summoner are attached, it should be manageable.

“I’m going.”

Narae swung the Yong-a Sword.

Her sword, which deals with nature itself, cut through the solid iron gate as if it were tofu.

Urrrrrr-!

A door that looked as tall as a three-story apartment building split in two and opened wide.

This is the power of UR grade.

‘This is it.’

If only all summons had the power of Narae!

So, I had a strong feeling that I had to hurry up and do the transcendence work.

“Then I leave it to you, Lucas.”

“Yes. I won’t let a single one in.”

“I’ll help too!”

The entrance team and the search team were divided.

It was time to uncover the secret of what atrocities Rubinos was committing.
