Stuck in The Tower
Chapter 96

Chapter 96 Live on your own

The 5th wave following the 4th wave.

Unlike the previous three waves, the 4th and 5th waves were conducted with a short term of 10 minutes.

Viciousness that drives participants to the limit!

As if to show those who thought they had grown accustomed to the tower that it wasn’t the end yet, the monsters’ offensive was fierce and produced many dropouts.

If that’s the case with areas systematically prepared by large guilds, what about the less populated western area?

“Damn it!”

Park Woong-sik gritted his teeth.

At first, there were close to 40 people following him, but now there are only half of them left.

The biggest reason is monsters.

“Kuhuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”

“Kihaaa!”

A 3-star monster that appeared from the 4th wave.

Then, in the 5th round, even large-scale monsters appeared.

For those who have just entered the 20th floor, the situation is like a disaster.

Unlike Petit Gongdu and the other members, Park Woong-sik’s group climbed the tower without difficulty, and this was the first time they faced a 3-star monster.

Except for the 15th floor hidden quest and the 17th floor hyaltin ruins, it was impossible to see 3-star monsters on the 10th floor.

Those who ascend easily are the same as kicking away the opportunity to grow.

The momentary choice came as a bitter regret.

Of course, Park Woong-sik passed the responsibility on to someone other than himself.

“Evileye son of a bitch! You deliberately led me this way!”

In fact, he was half right.

Because Cho Hyun-soo deliberately dug deep into it.

Park Woong-shik and his group went into a place where they could not follow even if they tried to follow him so that they could not interfere again.

I noticed it belatedly, but I was already surrounded by monsters.

But it was they who followed in the first place.

“Teachers are coming again!”

“shit! Can you stop that?”

“Zi support! Anyone please support me aaaaaa!”

People screaming and falling.

It was all about gathering the mana that was running out and attacking and defeating the 3-star monsters, and no matter how you catch one, another monster fills the place.

“Let’s hold on a little! The 5th wave will end eventually! You cannot back down!”

Park Woong-sik wrote an evil song.

He forced others to make sacrifices while not taking the lead.

In the first place, Park Woong-sik was such a person.

I was afraid to fight the monsters directly, so I formed a group and hid myself.

Because he himself did not want to die, he wanted to live even if it meant sacrificing others.

It was a primal survival instinct and cowardice that abandoned ethics.

He looked at the battlefield with glistening eyes.

“You freak monsters!”

I couldn’t believe it.

The people around her are so frustrated, what are they talking about!

-Quaaaaaang!

– Quaang! The Kuquagaga River!

Evileye swept away the monsters with an explosion.

Even the feared 3-star monsters were blown away by his attack.

– Chiyuuuuung!

-Kagagagak!

Sodam Kim on the left? She was also hunting using dozens of mechanics.

Every time the robot fired lasers and the blade rotated, parts of the monster’s body were pierced and cut off.

nonsense nonsense.

-Koo-goo-gu-gung,

is that all? It was difficult to catch up with the eyes of Lee Sang-ok, who single-handedly decapitated a large monster.

An irreducible power gap.

Park Woong-sik screamed at the unbelievable reality.

“I can’t do this. Nonsense!”

“Calm down! If you go out of your mind, you’re all gone!”

“Do something to make a living! We didn’t all come here because of you!”

people who rebel. A leader whose mentality goes out even when each person shows their best abilities.

It’s the worst. I shouldn’t have chosen the western area in the first place.

At least, those who had spare coins prepared their minds.

“It’s a dog! If I die this time, I will be kicked out!”

“It’s the last coin left!”

Those who had no coins left grabbed Park Woong-shik by the collar and shook him.

It was a gamble. As I climbed the floor, I realized my limits, and I thought that I could not even break the 21st floor at this rate.

Lastly, I chose this place to receive a great reward while hoping for a miracle.

It was a decision I would never have made if I had known the horrors of 3-star monsters.

“Leave this! Shit!”

Park Woong-sik, who shook off the hand of the one who roughly grabbed him by the collar, looked at the group with bloody eyes.

Everyone’s eyes went crazy. To the point where he thought that he might not be killed by monsters, but by people.

gulp. Park Woong-sik swallowed saliva and looked at the ranking table.

[Defense Event Ranking]

-1st place Evil Eye

-2nd place Shows that you are doing 1st place Hair Loss Shekiya

.

.

.

-78th Necromancer Park Woong-

shik, 78th overall. it is top tier

It was a natural result since they used the corpse explosion to hit the last blow.

One more variable was applied there.

‘Points were distributed as people died.’

As the number of people who followed him dwindled, more points were added to the dead.

Considering that it was around 200th place until the 2nd wave, it was a steep change.

His eyes glistened dangerously.

‘Anyway, the group hunt was wrong. A group of people who have lost trust and are excited are no longer allies, but bombs that never know when they will stab you in the back. Rather than being stabbed in the back of the head and dying… I’d rather drive it to the limb and raise the score!’

Doesn’t he die too? I had my doubts, too.

[Corpse Play (E)-Power]

– Pretend to be dead. Systematically separated as dead.

-Excluded from monster attacks.

There was a possibility that he could live if he had the power of corpse play.

eyes move quickly

– Kkaddeudeuk!

-Kaaaang!

We see Kim So-dam fighting relentlessly.

I was completely focused, but I didn’t even look at this side.

Park Woong-sik thought. What if you make Kim So-dam die after the crowd?

‘It might end up in the top 30!’

Anyway, the wave will be blocked by the monstrous Evileye.

If you use your powers and hold on until the wave ends, that’s it.

“Gentlemen, I admit that everyone is in danger because of me. But are you going to die like this? Shouldn’t you somehow survive and be rewarded!”

Park Woong-shik, who finished the calculation, raised his voice and pointed at the ranking window.

“Look! Aren’t all of you ranked as high as members of a large guild? Are you going to give up like this!”

“That’s it, though.”

“We know too! I know, but I can live!”

Park Woong-sik nodded with a determined expression.

“There is a way to live.”

A roar that subsided in an instant.

People noticed him.

“We are weak. So stick with the strong and survive. look to the left! There are very few 3-star monsters. break through there! It is attached to Kim So-dam. If you can’t go after Evileye, you can choose the next best thing!”

Those who followed his fingers gritted their teeth.

A situation where reason is already paralyzed by the fear of death.

“okay. There is no other way.”

“If I stay here, it will only lead to dog death.”

“let’s go. let’s go!”

“Aaaaaaa!”

Fear became madness and pushed people on.

* * *

I swung my sword and detonated the firebomb.

When monsters entered the pit they had dug in advance, they were blown up, and the surprise attacker was cut down with a sword.

“Whoa. A lot is a lot.”

I think I’ve hunted dozens of them, but there are still many of them.

Still, I caught a lot compared to the first time. If I had hunted alone, it would have taken longer.

“You fight well.”

Thanks to Kim So-dam and Lee Sang-ok’s performance, I was able to hunt faster than expected.

Although they got less points for the monsters they caught.

It wasn’t too bad. Thanks to those two, I was able to protect the buildings.

Less buildings to use as obstacles also meant fewer things to protect.

than that

“How come you can’t see?”

Until recently, I often saw Kim So-dam’s mechanic or Lee Sang-ok’s appearance, but from a certain point on, I can’t see them.

I couldn’t even hear the voice of Park Woong-sik, who had been yelling.

Could it be that he died? Still, I was holding on to the dangerous ones so that I could survive moderately.

It was obvious that if dozens of 3-star monsters were to come in, they would be annihilated.

A moment of leisure created after massacring the entire area.

I turned my head to replace the other people’s whereabouts.

“What is that bastard doing?”

I had no choice but to rub my face.

Park Woong-shik, a crazy guy, was leading a group across the field.

The destination is where Kim So-dam is.

-Kurrureurreung!

As people moved in unison, it was natural for the monsters to pay attention, and a huge wave of monsters followed them.

Kim So-dam, who noticed the fact belatedly, summoned a mechanic, but it was not enough.

Even Lee Sang-ok rushed to help Kim So-dam, but he could not stop the monster’s march, only slowing it down a little.

I wondered why it suddenly became quiet, but you did something like that!

“I don’t mean to just die!”

The balance is broken.

I was defending in the form of Kim So-dam and Lee Sang-ok taking down the monsters who were split left and right when I was at the forefront.

However, if the monsters were focused like that, it would be a melee from then on.

Park Woong-sik’s group can be seen in the distance. Those who persevere after Kim So-dam.

Of course, it is difficult to defend while moving. Park Woong-sik’s group is getting smaller one by one.

Actually, I am going safely in the center.

I really can’t do that bitch.

– Kwaaaaang!

Firebomb exploded and flew through the air.

I quickly headed towards Kim So-dam.

-Kooung!

“Kihehehehehe!”

Upon landing, he crushed the monster and stretched out his hand.

[Frozen Break (A) Lv.7]

[Fire Bomb (A) Lv.4]

Rapid freezing and compression. explode with cracks.

Fifteen monsters died as it was with a neat skill link.

“Mr. Evileye!”

Kim So-dam, who was being hit by a rapidly growing monster, called me.

Being attacked by three 3-star monsters.

I immediately pulled the barista out of the treasure bag.

Items purchased while preparing for the defense event.

The loading had already been done.

– Quaang!

fire as is. A barista was stuck in the side of the orc chief who was wielding an axe.

Kim So-dam does not miss the opportunity and uses the mechanic to slit his throat.

I also jumped in a surprise and pierced the other one’s eye.

one left?

[Cutting (C) Lv.10]

Cut the body in half with a sword.

Through the waves, the skill level has risen a lot.

Now you can easily catch 3-star monsters.

“Hoo-wook. after. thank you. I would have died if I had pushed.”

“This is not the time to say thanks. Things are bad.”

“This is all because of that child!”

Kim So-dam, who raised his eyebrows as if he was angry, glared at Park Woong-shik.

“I’m avoiding the seat.”

“But Sang-ok over there.”

Lee Sang-ok is stopping a group of monsters alone.

His performance was outstanding, but since he specialized in assassination, there was a limit to preventing large-scale monster waves.

It’s holding on right now, but it’s clear that it will die if left as it is.

The people who were swung by Park Woong-sik and rushed to the limbs?

Of course it’s annihilation.

Annoying. If you don’t think it’s going to work, why don’t you look behind you?

‘I was going to save it if possible.’

I took the relic from the treasure bag.

4 holy relics written while fighting the field boss on the 19th floor.

There were still two left, one of which.

[Guardian’s Will (AA)]

-Creates a divine shield.

-The duration varies depending on the caster’s divine power.

-Currently possible holding time: 1 hour 20 minutes.

It is a holy relic created solely for defense.

1 hour and 20 minutes.

That’s enough.

“Catch it.”

“yes? Ahh!”

Before I could answer, I hugged her and sprinted away.

Intermittently, he cut down the monsters with a single knife, and then caught Lee Sang-ok, who was driven to the point of exhaustion.

“What?”

Caught by the back of his back, he panicked and tried to swing his sword, but after checking Kim So-dam and me, he withdrew the sword.

“Listen carefully. From now on, I will handle the monsters by myself.”

“That’s impossible alone!”

“I know you are strong, but there are still over 200 left. Just take a little break!”

“no. What do you do with that condition?”

As I said, the condition of the two was not good.

Lee Sang-ok, who already had thin armor for mobility, had all his equipment destroyed and had cuts and bruises everywhere, making it difficult to replace his normal skin color.

Kim So-dam? The main mechanic is on the verge of destruction. In fact, it doesn’t help much in combat.

I was hit by a monster suddenly rushing in and seriously injured my back. It was clear that it would be difficult to move right now.

“It’s Evil Eye!”

“Did you buy it? Did you buy it!”

“Sorry. Please save me!”

Wearing Kim So-dam and Lee Sang-ok around their waists, they charge at Park Woong-sik’s group, and the people who were on the verge of death cry out for help.

All in one. Some even had one arm blown off.

There were people in a state where it wouldn’t be strange to die right away.

To be honest, I feel resentment before pity.

But…

‘The other side is more annoying than these people.’

Park Woong-sik. That guy instigated this situation as well.

“Look! Wasn’t I right! We live! You won’t let us die!”

naughty pup.

-Koo-gu-gu-gung

I reached in front of them and put Kim So-dam and Lee Sang-ok down.

focused gaze.

I strode closer and grabbed Park Woong-shik by the collar.

“That’s right. I’ll save you.”

[Guardian’s Will (AA) is activated.]

– The target of protection cannot go outside the barrier.

Except for you.

– Kwaaaaang!

“Khehe!”

While holding Park Woong-shik by the collar, he exploded the fire bomb and flew up.

I can hear the people under the protection of the sacred object shouting something.

Either that or not, I flew through the air and found the spot with the most monsters.

-Kuung

“Take care of yourself, you garbage child.”

Landing on the gap between the monsters, he threw Park Woong-shik.
