I Alone Going To The Tower

Chapter 255

A gray hell where dust and ashes scatter like snow.

Toward the great gate, the last place of this hell, seven adventurers walk, leaving footprints.

drop. drop.

The wet old woman sweeps the door with her wrinkled palms. Her hands interpret the languages ​​engraved on the door’s face.

“This door is right.”

She said looking back at the people.

“This is the final destination.”

The man with a split torso cheered.

A woman with grass on her skin raised her arms.

The fat baby grinned and chewed the meat.

The headless man clenched his teeth in his head in his hands.

“Long journey, good job everyone.”

Among the cheering party, a man in an old brown cloak walked out the door.

He patted the door like the wet old woman did, and said in a confident tone.

“let’s go.”

The man grabbed the door with both arms and pushed it open. His colleagues followed.

The scene unfolding in front of them was the inside of the ‘castle’. The man glanced around and scratched his eyebrows with a curious expression.

“I think you know what it is.”

Curl rumble!

The ceiling shook and stones fell. As the vibrations become more intense, an unusual atmosphere flows. Everyone looked around with anxious faces.

Koo!

Even the castle’s door shut itself tightly. The man with a broken neck ran quickly and knocked on the door, but it wouldn’t open.

The vibrations reach a climax, followed by a complete collapse of the ceiling and falling on them.

A man in a robe swung his arms like a windmill.

The wind spreads like a net, deflecting the debris falling over his head. It falls to a different location in a short time.

“Is everyone okay?”

“Yeah! Thanks!”

And where the ceiling had completely collapsed, a starry purple night sky was revealed. The walls that maintained the castle along with the ceiling collapsed, leaving only the bare steel frame.

And there was something coming down from the night sky and putting two legs on the steel frame of the ceiling.

The body of a large eagle, the face of a human. Green energy was fluttering from its wings larger than its body size.

-Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

The monster roared.

Colleagues covered his ears and frightened him, but the man in brown robes met the horror with a happy smile.

He took off his hood. His long black hair fell like a stream, and smoke wafted out of his bright blue eyes on one side.

A man who is revered as the hero who saved the world in the other world.

It was Kim Yoo-shin, the master of matap.

“Come on.”

The eagle flapped its wings and soared.

Then it flew slowly as if to catch Yoo-shin and his companions in the sky. The terrified ‘the man with the fall of the neck’ hurriedly ran out of the castle.

“Ah! Chaga!”

The moment he stepped on the ground outside the castle, the vast plain disappeared and turned into a blue sea.

As if the effect was applied, the castle began to shake as if it were on a boat.

“Don’t be arrogant, Frost. The more we move, the more we are at a disadvantage.”

The man with his neck dropped, trembling and clinging to his pole.

A winged monster spreads its wings in the sky. Countless feathers stood up and prepared to fall off.

‘Whoa.’

Yoo-shin’s eyes sink. Magical energy flowed out of his body.

Kale (Cheir).

Soma.

Ops.

Cardia.

The magical energy that flowed out was transformed into four metal plates that rotate in the air.

“Let’s go. Seven processes.”

Yoo-shin raised his arms.

The four metal plates scattered with light and were sucked into Yoo-shin’s body. Soon, a pair of brilliant wings spread out behind his back.

The monster swung its wings and fired feathers, and Yoo-shin also blew feathers from its wings. Feathers that became flashes of light collided in the air, making a roar in succession.

“Finally done!”

“you can do it!”

Colleagues cheered enthusiastically.

Some of them even moved directly to help Yoo-shin.

The woman with grass on her skin energized her, and vines rose from her floor and wrapped around her eagle.

As her fat baby opened her mouth, baby-like faces popped out from all over her eagle’s body, chewing her skin with her teeth.

As the bipedal man pulls a heart out of his mouth and squeezes it in his hands, a blood-red cross is lodged in the eagle’s chest.

– Hey hey hey hey hey!

The eagle screams. In the battle with Yoo-shin, the firepower starts to lose, and Yoo-shin’s feathers are embedded in the body of the eagle.

Yoo-shin immediately stretched out his right arm and clenched his fist. All the feathers turned into huge flames and burned the monster.

The fiery monster fell from the sky to ashes and fell into the sea.

“Win!”

“Wow!”

Colleagues cheered. Yoo-shin sighed in relief and lowered his right arm.

[Congratulations! You have cleared the ordeal.][The 7th floor ‘Magic Workshop’ of the Magic Tower is unlocked.][Acquires some characteristics of ‘Magic Engineer’]

Yoo-shin smiled happily and looked back at him. Her faceless woman had her arms wide open.

“You worked hard. Yoo-shin.”

“Mom!”

Yoo-shin jumped into her arms.

“I’m so proud of you, son.”

“Thank you, Mom. Thanks to Mom, I was able to come this far.”

A faceless woman patted Yoo-shin on the back. Her colleagues were applauding behind her.

But Yoo-shin knew. that the moment of parting is approaching

“If you go back to the original world, what will you do?”

To her question, Yoo-shin answered firmly.

“I will drive out the evil spirits and disasters that killed my mother. I will end all irrationality in the world with my own hands.”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

Her body turns white and begins to scatter in the air. Her face was missing, but the woman in Yoo-shin’s eyes was smiling.

“I will support you till the end. My son.”

Her body was completely gone. Her colleagues also disappeared. Soon again, Yoo-shin came to the pure white space where she had come in the first place.

clap clap!

I hear applause.

Turning her head towards the sound, the white-haired boy who guided Yoo-shin into her world of consciousness was clapping.

“Congratulations on clearing it, Kim Yoo-shin.”

“Thank you.”

Yoo-shin closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

“Is it all over now?”

“Yeah. Cleared the ritual world, which combines the Requiem’s ​​Ritual Pickup and the 7th floor ordeal, in 7,512 times! It was great.”

“…are you taking my medicine right now?”

It was entirely the effect of Requiem magic that allowed Yoo-shin to roam freely in her conscious world.

The subject of the Requiem magic goes on a journey to find himself, confronting the fear, sadness, and anger he has created himself.

But here ‘he’ intervened. Just before entering the conscious world, he asked:

– After all, it would be better to learn the 7th process, right?

He recommended that you also clear the ‘7th floor ordeal’ if you are going to be active in the world of consciousness. When he first received such an offer, Yoo-shin was bewildered.

-Can you do both at once?

-Huh! Actually, even the trials on the 7th floor are entering the inner world, so the stages overlap. A country that created the 7th floor ordeal can easily reproduce it. What do you do?

Yoo-shin kept wondering about this boy.

In fact, it is the person who built Noah’s ark called Ma Tower to fight disaster.

Yes. It was this boy who was the ‘first horseman’.

So, with the help of the first mage master, Yoo-shin regained his consciousness and mastered up to the 7th Fair Magic.

“By the way.”

Yoo-shin looked at the invitation and said.

“The final boss is ‘Alber, Lord of Heaven’, isn’t it too cliche?”

“It’s also a product of your subconscious mind.”

The invitation shrugged.

“You must have felt the greatest threat from the King of Heaven, who once killed you?”

“He didn’t kill me, he just did my best.”

“That or that.”

The two laughed out loud.

“Now goodbye.”

“Huh.”

“The duration of the magic I put on you is over. I will never appear in front of you again.”

“okay.”

Yoo-shin, who made eye contact with him, said sincerely.

“Thank you so much.”

“It was nothing.”

“Ah, but… how long has it been since you went outside now?”

Invitation spread five fingers.

“Five years.”

“Oh my gosh… Nemesis hasn’t come yet, has it?”

When Yoo-shin asked worriedly, he giggled.

“There’s still some time until Nemesis. You’ll find out the details when you go back.”

“Zeep, okay.”

Fear of answering that, Yoo-shin’s body turned hazy.

“Um! Requiem’s ​​effect was applied properly.”

The invitation laughed happily.

“Go back now. Everyone will miss you madly.”

“Is that so? My memory must have faded in five years.”

“Heh, you are a fate that people will never forget.”

Invitation, who had been talking with arms crossed, spread his index finger.

“Going back after 5 years without any information seems like a no-brainer, so I’ll give you a hint.”

“hint?”

“Yeah. Actually, it’s an act that violates the ‘rules’, but it’s okay to tell them about this.”

The invitation said with a very serious face.

“Some of your acquaintances have become magicians.”

“…!”

As soon as he heard those words, Yoo-shin felt that all his thoughts had stopped.

It looks like she was hit hard in the head with her hammer.

“What are you talking about!”

Yoo-shin rushed in and shook the boy’s body.

“Main? You became a magician? Are you really someone I know?”

“okay.”

In the midst of confusion, there were many things I really wanted to ask.

But Yoo-shin only asked:

“…what is the cause?”

“Your death.”

Yoo-shin’s expression was distorted with the most pain.

did that happen in the end The biggest reason humans fall into demons is a mental problem.

“Once you return, finding the person who has become a demon will be your priority. It seems that the identity has not been revealed yet.”

“…Okay.”

It was useless to say anything to the boy.

Because he was just telling the truth.

“thanks for letting me know.”

It was sincere. Had I gone to reality without knowing this fact, it would have been really bad.

“There’s still time for the magic to move, so don’t be hasty. Everything is up to you.”

Yoo-shin’s body was getting blurry.

The invitation smiled brightly.

“Then Kim Yoo-shin’s second life begins! Have fun!”

After a while, Yoo-shin’s body completely disappeared from consciousness.

* * *

As soon as I opened my eyes, the bright sunlight came down.

Are you really back?

I slowly got up to my feet.

In the world of consciousness, I felt like I was floating all the time, but it had been a long time since I felt the weight of my body.

I waited a moment for my eyes to adjust to the sunlight, then looked around slowly.

“Ah……”

A groan escaped from my mouth without realizing it. The landscapes I missed so much were unfolding.

This is the fountain in Seoul Plaza.

Children playing freely on the lawn, a young couple sitting on a bench kissing, and even a salaryman running to answer the phone with their formal coats on their shoulders.

If you look towards the city, you will see familiar signs of Seoul.

On the road, cars pass by honking their horns, and people can be seen passing the crosswalk with wireless earphones plugged in. And even the characteristic thick fine dust, the feeling of Seoul emanates from all these sights.

Yes. I’m back.

That fact is so moving that it brings tears to my eyes.

‘Did you say five years later?’

First, I looked at my outfit. He was wearing plain jeans and a hoodie.

I looked through my pants pocket to see if there was anything else, and I found my now obsolete cell phone, a few crumpled bills, and the subspace pocket I used as a hunter.

Inside, there was only one necklace with Anton’s relic, ‘Water Curtain’ enchanted.

‘He’s kind too.’

Originally, I would have had to lie down in a hospital or a horse tower, but it seems that the invitation took special care and took me outside.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

It’s a very good start for me.

When I open my eyes next to people, there are many things to explain.

‘Now, what should I do?’

In the conscious world, he endured difficult trials, thinking only of returning. But when I came back, I felt a little dazed.

However, for now, my first goal is clearly set.

‘… … Among the people I know, I said that there was a person who became a magician.’

No one in this world knows that I am alive. Now is the perfect time to find out who among your colleagues is a Majin.

Wouldn’t it be possible to get some good clues by contacting them while hiding their identities and thinking about them?

‘And.’

I spread my arms and enjoyed the sunlight.

In retrospect, the life of Ma Thapju was very busy. I wanted to enjoy this freedom a little more before returning to that life again.

When I returned to Korea, I moved to the place I wanted to go the most.

* * *

“Uh-huh.”

My first destination was a jjimjilbang. I went into a hot sauna and sweated, and I felt tired. It feels like my whole body is melting.

‘Oh, I really wanted to come here.’

Five years later, nothing has changed in the world. First of all, is there a jjimjilbang 5 years ago or now? That is a fact worth reassuring.

After I got out of the sauna room, I went straight to the store.

The foods I missed so much in the conscious world were lined up.

“Yukgaejang bowl noodles, elvan stone eggs, sweet potatoes, and sikhye.”

I put the purchased snacks on a tray and placed them in a suitable place where I could see the TV. First, I peeled off the silver foil and took out the sweet potato.

“Ugh.”

After a few attempts to peel, I cut the sweet potato in half.

Smoke rises up and down, revealing the golden appearance inside the shell. I grabbed it and took a bite to eat.

“Uh-huh!”

A hot but dense sweetness strikes the brain.

Happy. Tears come out

I grabbed the large-capacity sikhye next to me and sucked it straight through with a straw. The cold taste of sikhye, floating on the ice, cooled the heated roof of his mouth.

After putting down the sikhye, I immediately took a bite of an elvan stone egg, which was brown in color.

I shudder at the accusation that fills my mouth. The taste of the moist and chewy yolk is excellent.

After laying down the eggs and completely peeling the skin of the cup noodles, I quickly stirred the ripe noodles with wooden chopsticks and went straight to my mouth.

What explanation do you need? it tastes like heaven

“Mom! That brother is crying.”

“Shh.”

Hmmm, hmm. I’m not ashamed.

This is my first Korean food experience in 30 years, so who might have reacted like this?

no one can stop me He took the pain until the roof of his mouth and drank the broth.

‘Oh, that’s good. This is how people live.’

[Yes, next news!]

A young man is watching the news while lying down holding the remote control.

The children who wanted to see the entertainment program were sneaking around, but they did not dare to approach that young man who exudes a sense of tyranny with his whole body.

[The Ministry of Magic, Minister Cha Do-yeon has announced a new wizard training policy.]

I giggled and swallowed the elvan egg.

‘You’re doing well. Doyeon.’

Cha Do-yeon, who was wearing a full suit and tied her hair, was being asked questions in front of reporters. It is completely different from the 4th floor team days.

I had a large-capacity Sikhye to cool my hot mouth. When her reporters asked a question, she answered, sharply opening her eyes.

[of course. Dae-yong Na, the owner of the matap, solemnly recommends that you stop being reckless and follow the instructions of the association.]

“Pu-chop!”

I spit out the Sikhye I had stopped drinking.
