Stuck in The Tower
Chapter 25

Chapter 25

A day after taking a break from travel at a roaring inn.

I found some normal conditions.

When I was in the tutorial section, I was not aware of it because it was life-threatening, but it seems that there was a lot of stress accumulated without knowing it.

“That’s it.”

Deokchun also improved his color.

It’s not smooth enough to shine.

Is it because I washed it or because I ate well?

“You really ate it all.”

“On him?”

I looked at the empty bowl on the table.

Meals provided by the inn.

Nothing great.

Dry bread and a plate of soup.

A few slices of bacon and two fried eggs.

Ordinary, but enough for a decent meal.

Food for the pet was not prepared separately, so I just left it beside it.

‘He ate it all by himself.’

It’s a mystery how it all fits into that tiny body.

It was a guy with Chaos written in his name, so I thought so and moved on.

Thanks, I had to order a separate meal.

Fortunately, the inn menu is not that expensive.

There was no problem as there was still plenty of points.

‘Is it a benefit to know that Deokchun eats anything well?’

Feeding concerns are reduced.

Because if you eat people, you eat everything.

I’ll have to give it a try some other time.

Whether it’s bugs or monster corpses.

It’s difficult if only the taste becomes high-end.

-Sukseuk

“Eughehehe.”

I left the inn after rubbing the back of Deokchun, who had a full stomach.

If possible, I wanted to rest a bit more, but somehow the Sangun Guild bothered me.

It would be better to go upstairs quickly than to be in a daze.

Cover your face before that. -An

artifact that automatically transforms into a helmet when you put your hand on the necklace

with a click .

Even though the face is covered, the view is open.

I walk down the street thinking that I bought it well when I see it again.

“How come there are so many people?”

Unlike yesterday, there were many hunters roaming the streets.

Are there any events?

Judging by the annoyance on his face, that doesn’t sound like a good thing.

In particular, the expressions of those who wear small and medium guild marks or appear to be independent are not good.

I slowed down and walked slowly.

“San-gun, what are those bastards, they are blocking the portal and making a fuss.”

“In the meantime, the guys from the large guilds just let go.”

“no. does it make sense What is this land? it’s a top madam. Just hit it?”

“Arthur. Seeing what you’re doing now, it seems like you’ve agreed with another large guild.”

I could hear some bad news.

Is the portal blocked?

It is conceptually impossible.

No other place, this is the 6th floor.

The first place you come up after finishing the tutorial.

Of course, it has the most people gathered across all floors.

No matter how large a guild is, it is impossible to control all the members.

As those people said, they had to cooperate with other large guilds.

At the same time, I have to accept the complaints of other hunters.

A situation where there are more losses than gains.

They say they did this because they were certain of something.

‘Did he notice that I was there?’

otherwise it can’t be explained

Anyway, blocking the portal.

Isn’t this too much?

-I

was embarrassed, but I moved my feet calmly.

If I show a suspicious look, it will only raise suspicion.

If I had known it would be like this, I would have left right away yesterday.

It was too late to regret it.

It is also a consequential story.

More than anything.

‘It doesn’t seem like anything will change even if I go up.’

If you go up to the 10th floor, you will come to the safe zone again.

I don’t know if it’s managed by the Sangun Guild, but it’s probably the same for large guilds targeting me.

Because I’m already blacklisted.

“Whatever it is, it has to go up.”

It is true that large guilds are a threat, but I do not intend to remain stagnant forever because I am afraid of them.

The road to the 100th floor is long, but how can you live if you pay attention to each of these things?

Isn’t that right, Deokchun?

“Eh?”

Lick.

Just before leaving the inn, Deokchun tilts his head as he licks the candy that came out for dessert.

okay. I’m stupid for asking

I’m envious of the easy-going guy.

“Go inside and eat. You stand out too much.”

“Geeck.”

I put Deokchun inside the armor.

He doesn’t even resist in any way, as if he was preoccupied with candy.

it’s so delicious

Awesome. that’s originally mine

After sipping my appetite, I headed for the portal.

From now on, you need to focus.

I have to replace a way to get out of the mountain guild and rise up.

“Is it over there?”

I stared into space.

It was the first time on the 6th floor, but it wasn’t difficult to replace the location of the portal.

-Uuuuuuuu

five beams of light rising towards the sky.

[Portal No. 1]

[Portal No. 2]

.

.

.

They were pointing to the location of the portal.

as many as five.

As befits the 6th floor, which has the most people, it seems that several portals have been created.

‘Even if it’s a mountain guild, the number of people is limited. There must be places with poor security.’

take that gap

It would be nice to have stealth among the skills.

Shall I sell it in the shop window?

I’ve been looking to see if I could.

‘No.’

unfortunately didn’t see it.

It might come up when the item list is reset later, but I couldn’t wait until then.

Blocking the portal.

After that, it’s almost certain to be an inquiry.

You can’t block the people on the 6th floor forever.

Maybe he was still secretly looking for me.

-Understood,

I headed for the tallest building on the 6th floor.

I have no intention of taking the risk and getting closer.

You can get a rough idea of the situation just by looking at it from a distance.

About 20 minutes later.

I was able to climb to the top of the clock tower in the safe zone.

“First of all, it won’t be 1, 3, or 4.”

Looking at the portal that was more thoroughly sealed than I thought, I wrinkled my face.

There were quite a lot of people, but no one could get inside.

Those who seemed to belong to a large guild were waiting in an orderly manner.

There were some people who challenged them, but were overpowered and withdrew, and those who tried to sneak in were beaten and kicked out.

“Situations 2 and 5 are similar.”

Portals located in relatively remote places are not easy either.

The portal itself was blocked with barricades, perhaps due to lack of personnel.

A plate where you have to clear all the obstacles to get inside.

“It is ambiguous to break through forcefully. It is impossible to sneak in.”

At least, it seems that Portal 5, which has the fewest guards, can be pierced by force.

However, if you can’t finish it quickly, the people waiting in the adjacent area will flock to you.

Dealing with them.

hmm.

I don’t know.

“I still haven’t been able to confirm how strong I am.”

I caught a 3-star monster, but it was a debuff on the deterioration board, and above all, it was a single object.

That you can’t see it the same as dealing with the majority.

The two S-class powers weren’t for combat either.

The attack skill is Firebomb.

Although her magic power is far higher than others, it is certain that she will eventually reach the bottom.

A difficult situation in many ways.

Best way.

“Is it also Johnver?”

Wait until they lose control.

Because you can’t stop the portal forever.

If the entire large guild moves, one mountain guild is not enough.

In the end, you have no choice but to open the portal to others.

the problem is.

“There’s no way they can stay still for a while.”

Even if it takes a long time to search the entire 6th floor, they will try to replace me.

limited space.

angry people.

A member of the Sangun Guild who doesn’t know where he is.

Even if I try to hide as much as possible, can I go undetected?

I pondered for a while.

-Goo-gu-gu-gu-gung!

“hmm?”

I turned my head at the sudden roar.

* * *

6th floor portal.

Currently, Goseong was coming and going here.

People gathered around the portal.

Each of them was spitting out swear words, and the Seonsangun guild members who guarded the portal were sweating and controlling it.

“Everyone please follow the controls for a moment!”

“there! Don’t sneak in!”

A person who tries to sneak in among people is caught and the one who shouted something spit and disappears.

It’s a frustrating situation for those who are just trying to rise to the top.

Why can’t they do anything anyway?

“Sudden actions and uncooperative words and actions are subject to punishment.”

It was because there was Oh Ji-hyeok, the manager who managed the 6th floor.

A killer title floating above his head.

It was a penalty given to those who killed people in the safe zone, and there were also quests related to it.

“Follow the controls.”

– Whoa!

No one dared to jump.

Momentum pouring from Oh Ji-hyeok.

“Kuhm!”

“Damn it.”

The gap was so wide that one wondered if the person staying on the same 6th floor would be right.

The angry people frown and step back.

Among them, there was a person who climbed to the ninth floor and came back, indicating that Oh Ji-hyeok’s strength exceeded the general level.

In the first place, the position itself as a manager was like that.

Occupied by the strongest guild members excluding rookies.

at the same time.

“How many people have you punished so far?”

“I don’t know. Probably more than ten people.”

The murderer could acquire one skill of the murdered target with a certain probability.

ten if not.

That said, he had three or more skills.

A strong force that can’t be surpassed by beginners who generally have one skill.

“no. What are they doing, don’t go up.”

“The mountain soldiers are out of their minds.”

“Unlucky bastard. Wow!”

Eventually, those who gave up climbing left.

Most of them are independent or belong to small and medium guilds.

Those who belonged to the large guilds grumbled, but did not resist.

Because their identities were certain.

If you went through the procedure, you could use the portal.

“Oh really. What are you doing from above?”

“I don’t know. Maybe a villain came in.”

“Isn’t that the guy from the prison who came in like last time?”

“Oh, that serial killer? Well, bastards like that shouldn’t be hunters.”

They also did not know the details, so they speculated and talked.

It was quite a believable statement.

Because Korea strictly prevented violent criminals from becoming hunters.

It was also the role of the processing officer to punish such people so that they could not go upwards.

‘It’s annoying.’

Oh Ji-hyeok sighed in the middle of the confrontation, which had entered a lull.

a day already.

I haven’t been able to replace Kim Jung-soo yet.

Control was under way now, but it is natural that the resistance will intensify as the period increases.

Blockade of the portal was limited to two days at the longest.

Oh Ji-hyeok turned the knife and was lost in thought.

where is the guy

Is a person named Kim Jeong-soo a petit gongdu?

Is Petit Gongdu a person who moves alone or a person who moves as a group?

independent? Are you sure? What is the possibility that he worked in a large guild? no. If there was such a guy from a large guild, he would have already been killed by the hounds.

Biting tail after tail, the worries grew longer.

“Manager, I also contacted the 10th floor. If someone named Kim Jeong-soo, whose affiliation is unknown, comes up, catch him.”

“okay.”

The guild member woke up from his thoughts on the report.

After all, the task given to him was simple.

Identification and processing of hunters of unknown affiliation.

If you can’t figure out Petit Gongdu’s identity, you can just kill all the suspicious people.

That was the judgment of the superior, and Oh Ji-hyeok also agreed to some extent.

‘I can’t really kill them all.’

Even so, he wasn’t that crazy.

First of all, let’s replace and interrogate Kim Jeong-soo.

If you resist, deal with it.

After thinking like that, Oh Ji-hyeok took action.

“From now on, starting with the portal, we will verify the identity of everyone. Close the plaza and ban the activation of guidebooks.”

“All right. Then, who is the manager?”

“From now on, I go around the entire safe zone.”

-With a clap,

Oh Ji-hyeok took out a signal flare from his bosom.

“When I receive the signal, the 5-minute tone gathers to me. Over. Mission carried out.”

“practice!”

At the timing when the guild members who had been recruited as a search team at his command ran out.

-Gu-gu-gu-gu-gung!

A roar erupted from the plaza in the distance.

‘Is it Petit Gongdu!’

Oh Ji-hyeok laughed fiercely.
