Stuck in The Tower
Chapter 784

Episode 784: Entering

the Sky. A golden carriage flying in the sky.

Just looking at the sentence, it seemed like a mysterious scene that could have appeared in a fairy tale somewhere.

“Hold on tight!”

“Ugh! Fall!”

“It’s okay, I got it!”

Well, reality.

It was a crucible of chaos, with many people clinging to everything to avoid falling.

The number of passengers has already been exceeded for a long time.

Every time the golden carriage is shaken by the driving force and explosion of fire, screams are rampant.

Still, whatever.

“It’s going well.”

Perhaps because it flew up so quickly, the worshipers camped below were slow to respond.

It seems like they didn’t expect it to fly into the air out of nowhere.

Belatedly, a few of them followed us into the sky.

-Just do it yourself!

-Quaaang!

It was intercepted right away.

Although their numbers are small, they are not weak in terms of combat power.

The fragments of chaos that were attacking me no longer chased me.

It’s not because we’re scared.

“I won’t go there!”

“You are heading down the path of disaster.”

“There is no need to chase after foolish people.”

Because the direction we are heading is where the King of Worshipers is.

The fear that they might end up ruined if they came this way for no reason made them turn away.

‘Good.’

To be honest, dealing with that number of chaotic fragments was not easy.

It was right to avoid it if possible.

“descent! Everyone prepare for shock!”

The golden carriage, which flew in a parabola, slowly falls down.

It was already accelerating and falling rather than descending was more accurate, but what do you think?

-Kukwaaaaaaang!

There is no one among those gathered here who will fall to death.

The golden chariot flew away before hitting the ground.

Land with a gentle roll.

Others also alleviated the shock in their own ways.

“Ugh. “You crazy guy.”

“You look okay. You have to stay alert. Because it’s important from here on.”

The place where we fell was the entrance to their palace.

The area of the palace is so large that it feels spacious at first, but this is okay.

It’s a distance you can easily overcome if you run with determination.

– Viscount Cha.

-Cheoeok.

Everyone quickly organized their battle lines.

We entered the core of enemy territory.

This means that you never know when and where enemies will appear.

From now on, we must protect Nyangfun and move forward.

The destination is over there.

“It’s just waiting there.”

This is where Bedrock Vaaluze sits arrogantly on his throne, looking down at us.

“Thank goodness most of the troops are outside.”

“It looks like it’s empty inside?”

I moved forward and looked around.

The exploration team continues the search quickly.

I don’t feel any signs of popularity yet.

Did they really take all their troops out?

“I need to speed up a little. “It will be difficult to open a retreat now.”

It’s just as Smilecap said.

The guys who were fighting with us will come rushing this way.

As time goes by, it will become more disadvantageous.

Being surrounded will happen in an instant.

‘Speed is important.’

At the same time, you need insurance.

The best outcome would have been to kill him and officially head to the 100th floor.

‘You have to keep this in mind even when you fail.’

Seeing only one possibility and rushing into it is not a decision, it is foolish.

A way out must also be left open.

Then you can at least use a new method.

Fortunately, there is no way.

“Kellen Myler Rebecca.”

I called the three people who worked together.

In addition to this.

“Tsumra.”

Even this guy.

There was a reason why I moved with them when I was in the role of attracting the attention of the King of Worshipers.

Those who are recognized for their experience and exploration skills.

There was a good reason for this, especially since it specialized in combat.

To protect the wizard Tsumra.

Although he had vague exploration and combat skills, he was a true wizard who had built up his skills through real study and experimentation, not skills.

“If a problem arises, evacuate Nyangfun as a top priority. As many others as possible.”

“That large-scale transmission magic requires time. Is that okay?”

“I will pass the time somehow. “You three, please protect Tsumra.”

It was a being that could use transmission magic.

The plan was to observe when the king of worship appeared and then escape.

Now that we are waging an all-out war, it has become a meaningless operation.

“Ugh. “I wonder if I can do well.”

“Have confidence. There is no wizard here who has reached as high a level as you. “When it comes to magic, you are the best.”

Tuk-tuk. I patted the guy on the shoulder and encouraged him.

He is treated as an ordinary person here, but if you look at it, he has risen to the rank of archmage.

‘Since I’m not using skills, I’ll be less affected by external influences.’

Uriya cannot make complex changes because he uses skills that activate automatically, but Tsumra is different.

Intervention of external forces in the surrounding environment, etc.

This is because magic techniques can be modified to adapt to changing conditions.

Although it takes a while to not have a concept.

‘I have to get that somehow.’

Even if I die, I’d rather die.

There are very few people left with coins.

“It shouldn’t be that difficult.”

“There’s only so much we can do anyway. “Please trust me.”

“Evileye, be careful too.”

The three nod their heads.

This concludes the minimum insurance.

Besides this, I also want to create other insurance products.

‘There aren’t enough people with the ability to move through space.’

It may be true in terms of combat, but it is a bit lacking in other areas.

The most important thing in climbing to the 99th floor is force, not anything else.

Most skills and titles were focused on combat.

‘In the worst case, will each of us survive?’

Strength was added to the hand holding the sword.

I plan to prevent such things from happening as much as possible.

It may not be something I can resolve to do on my own, but I have to try.

That’s it.

“What do we do now? Do you go inside? Or shall we climb the wall?”

Surprisingly, we were able to reach the royal castle without much interference.

It is not a royal castle for nothing, but its scale is considerable.

You have to choose.

Are you going to go inside the building?

Or are we going to fly towards the guy that’s still staring down at us or climb up the wall?

“Isn’t it better to go right away? “If we delay, we are at a disadvantage.”

“I’m not going to just watch until he comes up.”

“Isn’t that going to be the same even if you go inside the building?”

Opinions are divided.

If he hadn’t been revealed, he would have gone into the palace without hesitation, but now the destination is clearly visible…

[Eyes twinkling as they watch the SSS-level power star.]

-Tsuzuzuzu.

“Let’s go inside the building. “That’s fake.”

The power was activated and information came in.

The guy looking down at us. It’s an illusion.

[The concept is faltering.]

He changed the concept.

The king of worship is not sitting there.

Did he escape to somewhere else?

Or are they hiding to attack us?

In the first place, is the portal you see over there real?

-Tsuzuzuzu!

I added strength to power.

“Portals are also welcome. “He’s somewhere else.”

I was able to confirm that everything I saw at the top of the collapsed castle was an illusion.

-Hwiik!

As soon as I finished speaking, the rock that Lick Jjak had thrown went right through the illusion.

“It’s true. And the medicine is a baby. “They’re trying to catch everything.”

“Isn’t it a similar situation inside the palace?”

“Maybe so.”

It’s just as Nyangfun said.

If he brought up an illusion, it would be correct to assume that the interior of the palace was already covered with all kinds of illusions and lies.

Everyone’s expressions darkened, but I raised the corners of my mouth.

“I rather like it.”

hallucination? mirage? Illusion?

That doesn’t mean anything to me.

“I take the lead. “Just tell me the right way.”

[Eyes watching the SSS-class power star are wide open!]

This is my specialty.

Since they already had a general idea of my abilities, there was no opposition.

-Kkii Iik.

The grand front door was opened.

They didn’t even lock it, as if they were welcoming us.

That means you are confident.

“I don’t think I have any illusions yet.”

Wide cavity.

A black and white chessboard-shaped floor comes into view.

A sparkling chandelier hangs from the ceiling, and statues are placed on the walls of the circular space.

Although it had an old-fashioned appearance, no one was fooled by its appearance.

“Everyone ready for battle. “It has a concept.”

The concept can be felt everywhere.

just as expected.

-Cow!

The door closed as soon as we entered.

[The concept sculpture manipulates a living statue.]

-Giggles.

The statues imbued with the concept approached, each raising their respective weapons.

It’s not just statues.

[Concept chess enforces the rules!]

Concepts are enforced to the bottom.

The number of statues is six.

All but six of us were pushed into a corner.

-That’s it.

Statues and NPCs face each other in their own formation.

and.

“Look at this?”

Smile cap.

He twists his mouth in a pout.

I stretched out my foot to get away from the chessboard, but sparks flew out.

A slightly burnt fingertip is not normal power.

“wait! “I’ll take it out!”

– Cheezy!

Conversely, those who were pushed out of the chessboard tried to get in, but the result was the same.

Sparks flew and a strong repulsive force was felt.

-Quaaang!

“Khaab!”

When I pushed hard, more than twice the amount of impact came back.

One of the NPCs who was putting up the barrier outside rolled on the floor.

‘You’re trapped.’

In short, Smile Cap and 5 NPCs were trapped inside the chessboard.

I never thought they would have prepared a device like this.

When you look at the situation, it’s not just this place.

“This. Huh. “What kind of building is this?”

“I can’t even guess how many concepts are embedded in the building itself.”

I felt that countless concepts were intertwined throughout the building.

A royal palace built based on the concept.

That was the identity of the place where the King of Worship resided.

The best line of defense it has.

It is none other than the royal palace itself.

“It’s like this from the beginning.”

Without hesitation, he activated demonization and absolute territory.

I thought I would be able to break through it because I had a half-hearted concept.

– Tsujijijik!

-Kaaaaang!

[There is a decree from the ruler of the 99th floor, Bedrock Vaaluze.]

[In the Citadel of the Citadel, the palace of the Kingdom of Worshipers, those who are not involved cannot intervene.]

[Chaos refuses your intervention . .]

The hand that was penetrating the barrier was thrown back.

Rules that the ruler of a floor can put forward.

The rules were absolute and protected by the system.

This, combined with his chaos, is a situation where he rejects me.

If I were inside the chessboard, I would have done something, but as an outsider, there is nothing I can do.

It’s the same no matter how many times you try.

“Why are you procrastinating? “Leave this to us and go quickly.”

Seeing me like that, Smile Cap waved his hand.

While smiling leisurely.

“If there are onlookers, you lose your energy.”

I gritted my teeth, but there was no choice.

“…Finish it quickly and come back.”

“Uh oh. “It’ll be there soon.”

I looked at the guy and took a step forward.

Smilecap is right.

Let’s leave this here and go replace the King of Worshipers.

Go.

“It will definitely be destroyed.”

* * *

While Evileye and others were leaving the hall, Smilecap took out an axe.

Structure arranged in a straight line.

A notification came to mind.

[The roles of the participants are given.]

[The roles consist of King Queen Rook Bishop Knight Pawn.]

Tiririri.

The cheerful sound of the roulette wheel ringing.

[Your role is that of a ‘pawn’!]

[All abilities decrease by 70%!]

Smilecap accepted his role.

phone.

The lowest-ranking piece in chess.

In war terms, his role was like an arrow catcher.

“Well, it’s not bad.”

The pawn in the lowest position.

Because the pawn was also the only piece that could turn into the queen, the most powerful piece at the same time.

-Trudge.

He took a step forward.
