Ch 88
Episode 87 – It’s okay to live, it’s okay to die.
“Come out.”
It was a calm and unfeeling voice.
“Wow, what are you talking about… Kyaah!”
bang!
Lee Si-yeon screamed at the sound of a crack in her hair and sat down.
I couldn’t even see what was flying.
My body twitched at the stone dust falling on my shoulders and my head went up.
“······bone?”
At first glance, I thought it was a spear, but it wasn’t.
It was similar to a human spinal cord, with a sticky liquid flowing down its bumpy surface.
Kirk. Kirk. Kirk.
The sound of filling the aisle grew louder without even having to look closely.
As if the only torch in the passage was the boundary line, the movement of the monsters that stopped for a moment was not mercy.
Kirk.
The act of leisurely pulling out bones from his back was the appearance of a gentleman raising a knife before dinner.
“Uh, what should I do?”
No one answered Lee Si-yeon’s dazed voice.
“Yes? Do you want me to run away?”
The man who had dried her earlier looked at the air and muttered blankly.
“why! What are the viewers saying?”
At Lee Si-yeon’s urging, the man forcibly brought out his trembling voice.
“… our level couldn’t handle it. Just go, run away.”
“What are you talking about!”
“That’s not just a window, it’s poisonous! If you touch it, you will be left behind!”
“Well, then how-”
Without a moment for Lee Si-yeon to speak, the monsters began to act.
Kirk!
Dozens of spears were fired as if not to make a mistake this time.
“Ahhh!”
Unfortunately, no one put into practice the viewers’ advice to run away.
Everyone just trembles, resenting the body that can’t move.
Except for Jaejoo Kim.
Shh!
As if predicted, a coat torn according to the number of spears grabbed the spears.
“················ogue.”
Kirk?
Not only the monsters, but also the people behind them stopped the accident.
bang. bang. bang.
As the coat relaxed, falling spears roared through the aisle.
“…Uh, how?”
There was no room for everyone to express their doubts about the unexpected sight.
wii ing.
I could hear the machine running, and a bright light poured out.
“sorry.”
Kim Jae-joo, who asked for forgiveness, stretched out his arms in front of him, and a pure white light filled the aisle.
The manager shook his head at the clan leader.
“We’ll talk later.”
It was a blessing.
“················ogue.”
The clan leader had to admit it.
The fact that no matter how tall and long he flies, in front of the two of them right now, he is nothing but a dog pranking.
The clan chief opened his mouth slightly, hesitating, and looked at the wizard called Chaerin Lee.
“Oh. It’s not my taste.”
It was a soft and gentle voice, but it was a tone that touched his nerves.
The clan chief wrinkled his brow, but then sighed and bowed his head to the manager.
“Let’s go. You seem to be more interested in the other side than me.”
hold on hold on hold on
An eerie sound was heard instead of an answer.
The clan chief relaxed his clenched fists and smiled broadly.
“Please have a nice conversation.”
“You are lucky. If I had been alone, it would have been roasted to a golden color now.”
“···thank you.”
The clan chief bowed his head politely to her as well, then turned his back and disappeared.
“················ogue.”
The manager didn’t say anything for a long time after the clan chief disappeared, and then sat down on the bench again.
“I haven’t seen you in a long time, what do you have to say?”
In the end, Chaerin Lee opened her mouth first.
“You have something to say.”
“················ogue.”
Chaerin Lee approached the manager’s bench without a word.
“What is this handkerchief? Your taste is very noble.”
She lifted her feet, threw away the handkerchief, and sat down on the bench.
“Why are you like this these days?”
Chaerin Lee brought up the question she had been holding back.
“What do you mean?”
“Don’t pretend you don’t know.”
“I really don’t know.”
“Kim Jaejoo, do you know?”
The manager tilted his head.
“Of course you know.”
“… the conversation feels like it’s in vain, is it an illusion?”
“I never pretended not to know in the first place.”
Because it was true for others, Chaerin Lee kept her mouth shut for a moment.
“Our ashes, no. My name is Jaejoo Kim. Have you been in the tower before?”
“no.”
“You gave me information in advance.”
“no.”
“But why?”
The manager stared at Lee Chae-rin and grinned.
“I found it.”
It was the first time Chaerin Lee had seen a manager like that.
It’s not the expression that always looks at users like you like a bug, but the expression full of passion that makes the corners of your eyes tremble.
“···What?”
“Someone who can fix a broken toy.”
“Don’t be silly. It’s only on the 20th floor.”
“Not just, but ‘already’.”
“················ogue.”
I couldn’t deny it.
Kim Jae-joo’s overwhelming climbing speed was enough to make her exclaim with admiration.
Lee Chae-rin forced her mouth to open and raised her voice.
“That must be because the manager distributes the rewards.”
“Would it have been someone else?”
“…what the hell did you see?”
“willpower.”
“Hey, you don’t believe in that kind of mentalism.”
“You must have seen the 15th floor, too.”
“················ogue.”
“If I hadn’t been joking, I would have come up safely. Instead, it would have taken a long time to be late.”
“You’re talking as if you’ve been through it.”
Lee Chae-rin sighed at the manager’s one-sided speech.
She wasn’t here to play, so she had to remember her purpose.
“Anyway, are you saying that you don’t intend to kill Jaejoo Kim?”
“Well.”
“···yes?”
“There was enough information. What he will think, how he will act.”
Lee Chae-rin organized her thoughts with an intuition that her head was getting tangled.
She had reached the 100th floor and was offered a managerial position.
At first glance, it sounded sweet, but in the end, it seemed like it would be a nuisance, so I refused it, and decided to stay in the tower because I was told that it would destroy the earth.
That’s why I had a vague idea of why the manager built the tower.
“However, if you go through your hands, the world of ASTROD will be destroyed one by one…”
“It was.”
“You mean not now?”
“I made another tower of the same type, but about half of it was successful. More research is needed, but it means that I have no regrets if he dies.”
“Are you really crazy?”
“Don’t put a human standard on me.”
“Is Jaejoo Kim good enough to live or die?”
“okay. It’s the time difference. The higher he climbs the tower, the faster it will take me to complete the world. So I’m pushing him to the limit. Then it eventually breaks down and explodes, or it does its job.”
In response to the manager’s calm and decisive answer, Lee Chae-rin also jumped up from her seat following him.
“You are harsh.”
“I can accept such criticism as much as I can. All I have left is the ordeal of completing the shattered world.”
hold on hold on hold on
It was an instant.
Pa-ang!
The pure white light that reached out from Jaejoo Kim’s hand set fire to everything.
Even the flickering torch.
The gatekeepers crawled like crazy with a sense of crisis.
Even Lee Si-yeon’s hair, who was barely standing outside the range.
“Ah, ah, ah!”
Siyeon Lee rolled on the floor in the pain of burning her head.
“Siyeon-ah!”
A startled man approached her and checked her condition.
His long hair was burnt and smelled unpleasant, and his face was mangled with pain-distorted expressions and tears.
“················ogue.”
However, the man could not curse at Kim Jae-joo even after seeing the miserable condition.
If he hadn’t just stepped in, his head would have been blown away, not his hair.
The man who was about to say thank you with a sad expression had a blank expression on his face.
“···where?”
Jaejoo Kim had already left his seat.
– Oh no! It’s cool to shoot.
– I can’t help but admire it every time I see it.
– How does this mean to reach the 20th floor…
-Never ignore magic engineering again.
-Really; Shall I learn too? I’m attracted
-???: Wow
Jaejoo Kim ran to another passage without having time to enjoy the afterglow of victory.
iron- huh.
He removed the blood flow stone from the heated mechanical glove, then pulled the magic stone from the backpack and put it in.
Because it was obvious that the situation elsewhere was not good to wait for recharging.
“Aww!”
“hey! hey! Wake!”
It was as expected.

In the second passage, there was a blood clot going on for a long time.
The two knights in front were blocking the gatekeepers with their shields, but they were overwhelmingly behind in terms of firepower and quantity.
“My, my arm!”
Among them, the leaked gatekeeper was eating the arm of the wizard who was assisting him from behind, so it collapsed in an instant.
wii ing.
Jaejoo Kim clenched his fists with his gloved hands.
He turned the magic from his body, focused on his right hand, and fired like an explosion.
His body drew an afterimage and touched the gatekeeper who ate the wizard.
Kirk?
Arms stretched out in front of you.
bang!
A harsh impact sounded and the doorkeeper’s upper body was torn apart.
“Hey, hey!”
The wizard, who barely escaped the crisis, started to run away, crawling backwards.
“Come out.”
“What, who, who?”
Jaejoo Kim grabbed the two knights and the wizard who was staring blankly with their coats and threw them back.
– Wasn’t it 5 people per aisle?
-1 seems to have already been eaten;
Keek!
The gatekeepers, who had been deprived of their food, let out an angry scream, and smoke rose from the wall that had touched the splashing saliva.
wii ing.
Kim Jae-joo’s act of clearing the annoying obstacle was simple.
arms outstretched forward
Pa-ang!
A pure white light shone again.
“Uh, huh?”
It all happened in the blink of an eye, and the four barely surviving made muffled sounds.
“Do you have any potions?”
At Kim Jae-joo’s calm words, Knight jumped up from his fall.
“Yes Yes!”
“Heal the injured, and buy some time elsewhere.”
“Okay, I see!”
So Jaejoo Kim reached the third passage without a break.
“Everyone get behind me!”
Things were better here.
Because Ha Baek-hyun was showing off his wit and blocking the gatekeepers from coming.
There were no monsters leaking out thanks to the occasional assistant wizards.
The gatekeepers felt that their opponents were not formidable, so they widened the distance and pulled out spears from their backs.
“Mr. Baekhyun Ha.”
Jaejoo Kim called for him while grinding the magic stone.
“what?”
Habaekhyun looked back at the rough breathing, and his eyes widened.
“Why is Jaejoo Kim here?”
“I am here to help. Come back.”
“yes?”
Before answering the question, a harsh pounding sound was heard in Habaekhyun’s ears.
He hurriedly turned his head towards the passage, but already in his sight a spear of sticky bones was growing bigger and bigger.
Habaekhyun’s body stiffened at the spear that almost touched his forehead with a blink of an eye.
The window didn’t come any closer.
It was firmly held by something black wriggling.
It was Kim Jae-joo’s coat.
wii ing.
Kim Jae-joo stepped forward in front of Ha Baek-hyun and stretched out his arms, and pure white magic cannons were fired and filled the aisle.
Seeing the last gatekeeper disappearing in a panic like that, Jaejoo Kim lost his arm.
“Uh, how?”
“We’ll talk later.”
Leaving behind Baekhyun’s blank question, Jaejoo Kim ran towards the last passage.
“No, no.”
I hurried to say that I was in a hurry, but the situation in the last passage was not good.
“I can’t do that.”
The knights Kim Jae-joo rescued from the second passage were taking a step backwards.
– And bruises?
– Oh, I think I’ve already eaten?
-damn; I was baby
It was what the audience said.
The sight that Jaejoo Kim saw when he arrived at the entrance of the last passage was disastrous.
Kirk. Kirk. Kirk.
The gatekeepers were enjoying the supper for a long time.
The sight of him trying to steal even an extra piece of flesh with his lips covered in red blood stains was enough to make him nauseous just looking at it.
This was their own banquet hall.
But.
ting.
The clear tinnitus hitting the floor turned the gatekeepers’ heads.
Kirk?
The source of the sound was a magic stone that lost its power and the light went out.
“…who.”
The voice of a human male spewing out a sound full of fatigue followed.
Wii ing.
The man’s hand began to burn brightly.
While floating the clear letters of Enian.
