Episode 780. 49th floor ‘The World of the Zodiac’ (1)

5:50 am.

[You have entered the 49th floor of the Tower of Trials!]

A warm breeze and soft sunlight welcomed everyone.

You have entered the realm of the Zodiac, one of the most closed levels in the Tower of Trials.

Kukukukuku!

As soon as I entered, I felt strong energies here and there.

“This is….”

“They are fighting. And they are very strong.”

Ellis and Teresa sensed the magic right away.

As the saying goes, the unique energies belonging to the twelve zodiac signs were clashing.

Has the power struggle already begun?

Well, now that the Uma King has decided on a course of action, a full-scale bloody battle must have begun.

That belligerent guy is not the type to pick a fight. He will trample on anyone who opposes him.

“Let’s proceed cautiously for now.”

There is no need to clash with other forces as soon as you arrive.

Anyway, we were going to have to go a little further and Cheongha would come out to pick us up.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve been here.”

The frost spirit looked around as if lost in memories.

The mortal who said he would return to where he was and reorganize, and Beltor who said he would remain in the modern era and continue his research related to the ancient oath, did not come.

The only one who has shown great interest in Jinhyeok is the Frost Spirit, who has decided to stay with him on the 49th floor.

Power that can withstand a 1:1 fight with a primordial being for 30 minutes.

Her presence alone has relieved a lot of the burden on the entire team.

of course.

“… … .”

“… … .”

Ellis and Teresa’s sullen expressions didn’t brighten up at all.

But right then.

fault!

Suddenly, a Miao person jumped in front of everyone.

“Haa. Haa.”

A body covered in wounds.

The heavy breathing seemed as if it would stop at any moment.

“That rabbit. One of his feet is freaking fast.”

“But, even if you run away, it’s useless. Hehe.”

“I made you suffer like this, so don’t even think about dying in peace. I’ll chew you up and swallow you whole, starting from your limbs.”

Immediately after, those in the shape of dogs appeared.

The Dog Tribe.

Those who were gentle and loyal had suddenly turned into bloodthirsty hunting dogs.

Dogs carrying long scythes came out of the bushes one by one, baring their fangs.

Then I found Jinhyuk and the rest of the members.

“human being?”

“The other guy from the other stairs crawled in knowing where this is?”

“What bad luck. If it had been another time, I would have lived a little longer, but I received orders to kill everyone I saw.”

[‘Protection of the King of Wine’ – ‘Time to Hunt’ is activated!]

A unique trait of a clan that can borrow the power of elders.

It was a similar principle to ‘All-Sharing’. This was the reason why the Sultoku were able to show outstanding strength in group battles.

“Kang… Jinhyeok! Haa. Cheongha… is at the place we agreed to meet…”

A woman with rabbit ears squeezed out every word.

It’s just fragmentary information, but I get what you’re trying to say.

It seems like things have gotten a bit messed up.

“Should I handle it?”

Ellis raised her fingernails.

“No, I’ll do it.”

Jinhyuk took a step forward.

Since we’ve decided to join hands with the Miao people, we need to let them know that they’ve made the right choice.

“Hahahaha! What kind of nonsense are you two talking about? You’re arguing about whether to step forward or not, even if everyone else comes at you?”

“What floor do you think this is, you sluts living downstairs!”

“Don’t say anything too much. It looks like something chewy is delicious.”

A torrent of mockery mixed with laughter poured out.

This is true.

This kind of reaction is also refreshing.

While it has become routine for even the primordial gods to approach with a certain amount of tension, it is quite cute how cute dogs can’t figure out what is going on.

“Since you’re stuck here, you probably don’t know how the other stairs work.”

[Skill ‘Arang Black’ is activated!]

Kwajik!

The body of the drunkard at the very front disappeared.

Oh my god!

Molars and canines tearing through the air.

Red eyes appeared one after another against a black background.

“What, what is it?”

“Eek?”

The mouths of the two remaining guys fell open.

It is said that he borrowed the power of ‘Akaak’, the weakest of the five elders, but Akaak is also an elder of the Sul tribe.

This means that even on the 49th floor, he is a strong player who is in the top 100.

But, I never thought I’d be able to move my hand with just one light gesture.

An old instinct warned them that they were no match for the enemy.

The decision was made quickly.

Boom!

bang!

We need to get out of here and report that a dangerous enemy has arrived on the 49th floor.

The hunting dogs, who had immediately leapt with all their might, tried to return to where they had come from.

but.

[‘Glacier Heaven’ is activated!]

Tsk tsk tsk!

The snowflakes that filled the sky did not allow anything to escape.

In the blink of an eye, everything turned to ice.

“Three, my goodness….”

The Miao woman looked up at the sky with unrealistic eyes.

It can’t be helped.

The warriors of the Sul tribe were predators that the Miao tribe could not dare to confront.

Of the twelve tribes, they were always ranked among the top five in terms of power and influence. Each and every one of them had an incredible level of belligerence.

but.

The human that the Cat King had told him was his helper was a monster that was far beyond his common sense.

‘I thought, ‘What’s the point of helping the people on the lower floor?’

It was a complete misjudgment.

“Are you okay?”

Jinhyeok approached that Miao tribe.

“Yes? Ah… Yes. Yes! Thank you. I survived thanks to you. Oh, my name is ‘Seoa-ri.’”

“What happened?”

“That’s right, while we were waiting at the meeting place, the elders of the Sul tribe and their guards suddenly made a surprise attack.”

The elders and bodyguards of the Sultanate?

“Even if it was a surprise attack, there’s no way Cheongha would have suffered that much.”

Although Cheongha has an image of being clumsy and sloppy, this is the 49th floor. It is the realm ruled by the twelve zodiac signs.

The Cat King, who released his power from his original floor, would be one of the strongest among the top 20 strongest people on the entire 49 floors.

Even if all the elders of the Sul tribe rushed in, it would be difficult to handle just one Cheongha.

“There was a skeleton… A large undead force came with the elder of the Sul tribe, but they used such strange powers that we couldn’t respond. Even the Cat King could only evacuate us.”

If it’s a skull wearing a golden crown… .

Permut.

He is the one who has the ‘Crown of Despair’.

As the 49th floor opened, a hidden event occurred, and those who had been forcibly exiled by the system before began to move.

‘There was a pretty annoying guy involved from the start.’

Like ancient climbers.

It was one of the entities that could create ‘variables’ related to conquering the top of the tower.

Especially.

Being able to command a legion of undead troops means you have gained control of more than half of the Crown of Despair.

The battle may become fiercer and more intense than expected.

“Okay. First, let’s go together.”

The most urgent task is to understand Cheongha’s condition.

After that, you must contact the members of the Goinmul Corporation through the Miao territory.

“Follow me.”

Seoari took the lead.

***

Territory war.

The twelve races, who had been confined to a single level for a long time, had been in fierce conflict over limited territory and capital.

If, Jecheon Daeseong and Uma King.

If it weren’t for the two absolute beings that no one can resist, the 49th floor would have already been reduced to rubble by war.

but.

“Warriors of the Hae (亥) and Sul (戌) tribes entered the eastern pond.”

“Urgent news! The first elder of the Ox tribe, ‘Six-Horned Beast’, has led his elite troops and stormed through the main gate!”

“The movements of the Four Kings are also unusual. There is intelligence that they are gathering a large army towards the border!”

A scream echoes from the mountain of Hwagwa.

The long-standing peace was shattered when the Demon King joined hands with the primordial beings.

The unwritten rule that there may be minor confrontations but should not lead to an all-out war has been broken.

“Your Majesty.”

“… Now you must make a decision!”

“If we delay any longer, countless people will be sacrificed.”

The elders looked at Jecheondaeseong.

“… … .”

Jecheon Daeseong, sitting on the throne, was lost in thought.

The Uma King, who was competing with him even in a 1:1 match. However, there were those with unfathomable strength by his side.

The biggest problem is ‘North Idik’.

The primordial being that manifested along with the 50th floor’s demons known as the ‘Hounds of Tindalos’ alone surpassed the power of the entire 49th floor.

Even Permut, who had previously issued an ultimatum, was causing a storm of blood by trampling on several regions.

Already six clans have fallen under their control.

Even the kings who had been neutral were starting to make decisions one by one.

“Evacuate the people to the inside of Hwagwa Mountain.”

“What I mean is….”

“I will show you how foolish it is to dare to set your teeth on my territory.”

Now is not the time to give up.

At least until a deal with the old corporation becomes completely out of the question.

“Ohhh!”

“It’s a battle!”

“Tell the warriors! The king himself is coming!”

There was a huge cheer.

Even if the future is hell, they are elite soldiers who can run forward with a smile if it is the order of the Great Heavenly King.

Hwagwasan has entered battle mode.

Kukukukukukuku!

As clouds gathered, a tangible magical force spread along the mountain range.

“In the end, you make a decision that goes against the trend.”

A giant bull with six horns.

The hexagon faced the approaching troops head-on.

Tingling tingling.

The shaking heaven and earth and the rising morale that seems to pierce the sky are fierce.

How long has it been since we’ve fought a fight where everything is at stake?

I thought maybe he would put aside his pride and negotiate.

Jecheon Daeseong is Jecheon Daeseong.

He was never someone who could bow his head to anyone.

“… … .”

“… … .”

The warriors in the shape of cows readied their weapons with anxious expressions.

I wonder how many people will be standing alive after a while.

No, I doubted whether anyone could survive against that angry Jecheon Daeseong.

but.

“Don’t worry.”

One of Tindalos’ hounds.

‘Barabyss’ waved his hand leisurely.

A sharp, humanoid appearance.

It is a character in the shape of a handsome man with long black hair.

“By the way, I really wonder what choices he will make in this war.”

Part of a grand plan.

According to the cruel prophecy, on the 49th floor, Kang Jin-hyeok must make a choice.

Who to save and who to kill.

And about what kind of future we should choose.

Hehe.

Barabys laughed without realizing it.

The group called Goinmul Corporation is like that, and the Jecheon Daeseong right in front of us is like that too.

I was bored because there was nothing stimulating for a long time, but it seemed like something fun was about to happen.
