Ch 135

Episode 135

cycle of life

Reynold’s room was literally a mess.

A large bed, a desk on one side, and raw materials on every floor were full.

-Raquel, Polua, Dranium… … Did you buy all of these?

– I bought one of each type.

– Whoa! I told you to clean the room, didn’t you?

– Whoa! A nightmare of nagging… … It’s like looking at my old bedroom

-Advantages of self-isolation: No mother.

– What are the downsides?

-same as advantage

-I do… … mama… … .

Jaejoo Kim sighed in a space where there was no space to step on.

“They said they were all ingredients from the 35th floor horse tower. This flash leaf is a magical lubrication… … .”

Reynolds, who picked up a red leaf on the desk and twinkled like a child, noticed Kim Jae-joo’s grim expression and shut his mouth.

“… … Am I too excited?”

“it’s okay. Did you eat more than that?”

Reynolds smiled shyly.

“Of course I ate… … .”

A rumble echoed through Reynold’s stomach, and his face turned red in an instant.

Without a word, Jaejoo Kim took the wild boar meat rolled up in a leaf from his backpack and handed it to Reynolds.

“It’s good to work hard, but you also have to take care of your health.”

Reynolds didn’t say anything and took the savory meat.

-???: You have to take care of your health too (I don’t eat on time, I fight when I’m bored, I don’t listen)

-Ah haha If you look at it that way, Jaejoo Kim is a complete bad guy.

-Jaejumam appeared

– Isn’t that a bad mom?

The materials laid out on the floor were things that Jaejoo Kim was familiar with.

Most of them were things that could be obtained from the tower.

“You only bought magic-related materials.”

Reynold’s eyes, which had been murmuring meat by peeling a few leaves, turned round.

“How did you know?”

“… … How did it happen?”

“… … haha. Jaejoo Kim, the more you know, the more you don’t know.”

-Looking like a king

– Haha, talent, just be honest and tell me it’s the 2nd episode.

-[User ‘Rondes’ sponsors 100 coins!]

-[The second round? Is it real?]

– I don’t know.

-The talent told me not to take the kill keke haha It’s just brain damage, so listen to it~

Reynolds didn’t ask as much as he could, but Jaejoo Kim also had a lot of difficulties to tell the truth.

If you said you watched a video of yourself climbing the tower in the past, you’re lucky if you don’t look at it like a crazy person.

‘Will I have a chance to tell the truth later?’

Perhaps, if Reynolds suffers a little bit more about Jaejoo Kim.

“What are you going to do now?”

Reynolds, who ate the meat in an instant, seemed to have gained energy, and his voice regained strength.

“I will have to borrow the magic workshop first.”

Kim Jaejoo looked around slowly and smiled softly.

“Because otherwise, the dorm would be a mess.”

Reynolds changed the topic with a shy expression, putting the rolled-up leaves into the trash.

“When are you going to the 31st floor?”

“I am going to go right away tomorrow morning. The atmosphere on the 30th floor is cluttered right now, so I’m going to keep an eye on it.”

Right now, I didn’t know what the reaction of the Myungwon Clan, who had the control of the 30th floor, would be.

If it was a favorable attitude from that side, Jaejoo Kim was going to make some concessions.

‘… … If not.’

Perhaps the Myungwon Clan will regret it.

“Aren’t you going together?”

“Well… … Yes. You’ll be in danger if you’re with me. maybe.”

– It’s not at a dangerous level haha I might blow my throat

-???: Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha You belong to me.

– Whoa!

Despite Kim Jae-joo’s vague words, Reynolds nodded as if he understood perfectly.

“All right. I also wanted to focus on magic engineering more than climbing right now, so that’s good.”

Jaejoo Kim scratched his head in a sense of regret.

Reynold smiled and shook his head.

“Hey, there’s the water Lord, so you don’t have to worry about it.”

“Perhaps, if I think it’s okay… … Let’s go together then.”

“yes. I’ll support you with amazing things, so don’t overdo it.”

So, with Reynold and his future schedule arranged briefly, Jaejoo Kim went into the next room.

“I have to wash, so I’ll blind you.”

-mind! We are Nami!

-Yeah, if it’s like this, it’s best not to use the blinds right?

– What’s right, you idiot;

– It’s dirty, Hanu rushed again hahaha

“Stop it, are you all going to sleep?”

– Tired? 👌👌👌

– Jaejoo, I also have a thing of purity. If you trample on my innocence like this, I’ll become a thug too!

“… … Don’t speak.”

After that, the chatting continued, making fun of the viewers whether they were bored, and Jaejoo Kim had no choice but to finish the shower in a hurry.

‘… … Were there rugs on the floor?’

Then I suddenly felt a soft touch on my feet, and when I looked down, I saw Popois looking up at Jaejoo Kim holding their breath.

“Laha, Cordin, Verin?”

“Popoi!”

They were secretly clinging to their ankles, and when their eyes met, the popoes ran away to the bed and hid themselves.

‘… … You look bored.’

The doctor of Popois, which is transmitted through magic skills, felt like they wanted to play with Jaejoo Kim, but he couldn’t figure it out exactly, so he felt a little frustrated.

‘Should I learn more magic skills?’

-Ah, I heard all the popoi sounds haha

– Chief! Open the blinds!

-hurry! hurry!

Kim Jae-joo wore a gown hanging on the wall and unlocked the blinds.

Then he walked over to the bed and raised his voice pretending not to know.

“Where… … I don’t know.”

– I don’t know, I don’t know.

– Oh, how awkward Kim Jae-joo’s acting lol

-Hwang- How about doing well during the season?

-At that time, we had to risk our lives.

Jaejoo Kim walked around the bed pretending to be looking for him, quickly fell down and looked under the bed.

“You were here.”

“Popoi!”

As if the popoes had been caught, they opened their eyes and ran towards Kim Jae-joo’s face.

– Big-yeop haha

-Kim Jae-joo’s face was just dried, but immediately became moist.

-What are you talking about? – You are applying lotion to avoid drying out.

-… … Yes?

-It’s a bit… … .

– Oh haha

Jaejoo Kim sat down on the floor and played with Popoi for a while.

He stroked the soft fur like microfiber, and swung his hands to and fro following the popoes that followed them.

“Popoi!”

The popoes seemed to be satisfied at that time, so they groomed each other and became meek.

Kim Jae-joo looked at those popoes and fell into an unknown comfort.

-Uh-huh, look at Kim Jae-joo’s dad’s smile haha

– After all, was it the original version?

-[User ‘Loki Doki’ sponsors 1000 coins!]

-[Wow… … How do I get to know Popo?]

-that… … We have to go back to the deep and deep dark history.

-Actually, it’s impossible if it’s not Kim Jaejoo haha Who would do such a crazy thing?

– Talent, can you tell me?

“… … no.”

Jaejoo Kim, in embarrassment, hurriedly puts the popoes on his palm and closed his eyes.

“Popoi?”

The Popois froze for a while, wondering if they were puzzled, but when they saw Jaejoo Kim’s hand shining white, they calmed down.

It was because they felt the magic of the sun flowing through them.

‘I was so anxious that I couldn’t even try… … .’

Every time Jaejoo Kim saw the smaller popoes, he felt a slight sense of guilt prick his heart.

‘I think it’s possible now.’

As before, the magic of the sun did not feel dangerous or difficult, so Kim Jae-joo was finally able to find courage.

The dazzling light penetrated the Popois in an instant.

Jaejoo Kim slowly opened his eyes to confirm.

“Popoi!”

Now, it’s so big that it’s hard to fit them all in one hand, and the popoes have returned to their original shape.

It was a spacious hall.

In a round structure, marble pillars at the end of the wall were tightly embedded to support the ceiling, and in the center was a stone statue of an evil god sitting cross-legged.

Its height alone was over 20 meters tall, and just looking at it was a size that made you feel queasy.

In addition to that, each weapon attached to the eight arms combined on both sides felt like a majesty that dared not allow a human challenge.

There was a man who looked up at the stone statue with a grim expression.

-Is there an upgraded version of the stone statue?

– Isn’t the content of the ordeal different?

-ㅇㅇ This time it feels like a large-scale raid

The true identity of the man wearing the robe was Kim Jae-joo.

‘This time I came first.’

As soon as the sun rose, Jaejoo Kim entered the 31st floor.

After about an hour of waiting, I was about to yawn, and I was thinking about playing with Popoi and waiting.

“Honestly, I can’t even stop myself.”

“You’re talking nonsense again.”

A portal opened and people entered.

[4770 units. 4775 units. 4779 units. 4891 units. difficulty level. A total of 20 people have entered.]

[Condition number of people have been met.]

[The trial on the 31st floor begins.]

[The bust of the evil spirit tests your growth. Survive for 15 minutes.]

[Time remaining until start: 10 minutes]

– It’s just the beginning.

– Seeing 19 people come at once, it seems like they belong to a clan?

Although they were talking in various ways, the figure that did not disturb the formation had the standard.

“uh? Is it just the beginning?”

“See who comes first.”

“It’s us, thank you.”

“There it is.”

“Rob? He looks like a wizard.”

“Didn’t I tell you to get rid of that 20th floor habit? No one knows if he is an assassin or what.”

“Nagging again.”

Seeing the noise as if from a picnic, the middle-aged man in the lead smashed the spear he was holding.

“Everyone is quiet.”

There was silence like a lie.

“Nice to meet you.”

A middle-aged man turned to Kim Jae-joo in a respectful manner and bowed his head slightly.

“Ah yes.”

Jaejoo Kim nodded his head slightly, but did not take off his hood.

Then there was a clicking sound from the crowd, but the middle-aged man turned his head slightly and it immediately became quiet.

– Did you get any training?

-It looks like Hako because there is no Myeongwon clan mark on the armor

-Um, 8 wizards and 8 knights? 3 I don’t know. Are you okay?

“Is this your first time on the 31st floor?”

The middle-aged man did not ask for his name or introduce himself.

“yes.”

“What skills?”

“I learned magic engineering.”

“Have you made anything?”

“yes. I made it for combat, so I will do my part.”

“Please refrain from dangerous items such as magic bombs.”

“yes. Don’t worry.”

It was a neat answer to a question asking only what was necessary.

“To the front!”

A middle-aged man checked the remaining time and led 18 people.

Jinhyeong, which was woven into a square, passed Kim Jae-joo and went to the front of the chest god.

“The front row just lifts the shield over the head and lets it flow. Your vision is obscured, so please follow the instructions carefully.”

“Yes!”

“Magic is 2 shifts of 4 people each, mainly defense! Prompt stimulation will only increase damage. Just think you can hold out for fifteen minutes!”

The response and leadership that followed showed the moderation that was only seen in a large clan.

Everyone stared at the monster with sharp eyes and waited for the battle.

“I wish he would step back. Our side has already formed a formation.”

A middle-aged man spoke to Jaejoo Kim in a confident voice.

“All right.”

Jaejoo Kim answered meekly at the thought of watching.

It wasn’t clear whether the manager had done a trick or not.

“Ah, since it’s my first time, I’m talking to the old woman… … All three eyes will open in about 5 minutes or so. Then stick to the wall as much as possible. It’s going crazy, so it’s hard for us to protect you.”

-Oh, that’s right.

– Isn’t that Berserker mode?

– I go around like a crazy person and spray everything, but it’s dangerous haha.

“Thank you for caring me.”

Jaejoo Kim calmly backed away at the kind warning.

[The ordeal begins.]

The stone statue, which had been sitting cross-legged with eyes closed, began to rise from its seat.

“Raise your shield!”

A middle-aged man looked at the formation and gave an order, and the knights in the front row quickly raised their shields.

“Prepare your defense magic!”

However, he had a blank expression on his face without even thinking of using the magic that the wizards behind him had chanted.

“Hey, Head Senior!”

Among them, one of the wizards, who came to his senses, screamed urgently, raised his hand and pointed to the statue, and the middle-aged man’s head turned to the statue’s face.

“… … What is this?”

All three eyes of the stone statue pounding the floor while spilling stone dust were open.

‘Have you ever done… … .’

Jaejoo Kim, seeing that, sighed deeply.

As he took out the Enian from his backpack.
