Stuck in The Tower

Side story episode 24.

What kind of situation is this?

As soon as he recognized that there was a problem, he boldly killed Sisyphus.

I didn’t know what kind of situation would come, so there was no reason to take unexpected risks.

It was a habit I developed at the top, and this time it was the right choice.

Those who look up at me and the members.

“What are you doing now?”

Even if you don’t intend to, your voice comes out cold.

Even the monsters hesitate and stop attacking.

Even the most unintelligent monsters have instincts, and distinguishing between predators and prey is a matter directly related to survival.

“Ugh.”

“Grrr.”

Those who felt a sense of danger quietly retreated.

[Aurora Beam (SSS) Lv.MAX]

[Razing Shot (SSS) Lv.MAX]

-Chyuuuuuung!

-Quaaaang!

The skills used by me and Lick Jjak immediately exploded.

There were some who barely survived because they were so big.

“How did you bring the monster here?”

I wonder if it will just stay still.

Small particle-like things were already falling from the sky.

Like snowflakes fluttering on a winter day, a light particle landed on the bridge of the Sea Serpent’s nose.

-Kwagwagwagwang!

“Koooooo!”

It just exploded.

The serpent, whose large mouth has lost more than half of its size, writhes in pain and sinks.

Other monsters that are numerous and low-grade?

Before I could even step forward, the hunters who had the opportunity made their move.

“This grade isn’t difficult!”

“If only they hadn’t interfered, we would have caught it a long time ago!”

Perhaps because of all the hardships they had endured, the hunters sent by the government quickly cleared them out.

Monsters have also lost their will to fight.

“Kiik!”

“Kareuk! “Karruk!”

They are busy running away regardless of whether their compatriots die or not.

The plan was tangled up, but the strange group, including international criminals, did not move.

They just stare at us and get nervous.

“Wow. “I can breathe a little easier now.”

“It’s so painful that I can’t move because they’re trying to keep those things in check.”

Hair Man and Fluffy also warm up and stand in front of the students.

We don’t know how the enemies will come out, but they may take hostages or target the weakest.

There appears to be a will to prevent such a situation in advance.

Here’s a rough estimate.

“You did a good job protecting the kids. After all, a hair loss man. Fluffy is the best too!”

“ha ha ha! then. “You can’t even touch the kids.”

“Hmm. “I came here as a guardian, so of course I should be.”

It is true that the strange group has considerable power, but if they had fought head on, they would have won.

I just didn’t do it because there was a mix of students and the general public.

It’s different now.

The monsters have been chased away, and with our arrival, they can’t continue their one-sided attacks.

-Taat.

I got off the rainbow bridge and looked at them.

What did you say earlier?

“Ouroboros? “That’s some kind of shitty organization.”

If you are a criminal, you will be locked in a corner and rot for the rest of your life. Why do you want to crawl out?

I don’t think it will be of much help.

If you really want to live a social life, go to a deserted island or something and live together.

“You will pay the price for rejecting us. “This incident is the one that opens the door.”

“The case is, you bastard. “Do you want to be found dead?”

“Ugh!”

The guy, who was upset by my words, grits his teeth.

“Wait a moment. “Nyanfun, please check on them.”

“I’m still doing it. “I’ve come a long way.”

Nyangfun scanned international criminals with a tablet and held out the screen.

There are 8 people with a bounty on them.

Five of them were relatively low-ranking people, earning between 3 and 5 billion won.

The three people are like leaders.

“From the left, Scissorhands Undertaker and Ural Mountain Cannibal. If you add it all up, it’s a little over 80 billion. and! oh my god!”

The average bounty is well over 20 billion won.

Among them, is there anyone you should pay attention to?

“Undertaker is the most expensive. “The Vatican placed an additional bounty on him for properly committing blasphemy.”

“Oh, you know what? “The lion resuscitation incident.”

Lion revival incident?

I was briefly curious about what the hair loss man said, but I put it away.

There is no way to bring the dead back to life.

This was not a tower, but our world, and without resurrection skills or special items, dead people could not be revived.

‘If that had happened, the destruction would have been prevented a long time ago.’

I think he probably used some kind of magic trick.

just as expected.

“That guy, the necromancer, and the human taxidermy. “These three people are probably the best villains related to black magic.”

indeed.

It was an incident that did not revive the lion, but turned it into an undead one.

First of all, I know they are bad guys.

“I’m going to make a lot of money today.”

I happily accepted it.

Catch them.

A bounty is also a bounty.

“I have something to ask you.”

Sisyphus and those guys all seemed to know that we would come here.

Is it a coincidence?

That may be so.

They went into hiding in case people came here someday.

Or, since this is their base, they may have taken action as soon as they confirmed the intrusion.

I wish it were like that.

‘It was clearly said to be an international criminal association.’

A group with that many members would not have called it an international criminal association.

The Santorini Alliance would have done it this way.

Plus, there are some cultists.

Besides that, there are other criminals as well.

It’s a strange combination.

It seems as if someone intentionally gathered people who cannot live in the sun.

‘The nutrition and equipment are good.’

If you live in exile for a long time, things are bound to get bad wherever you go, but not with these people.

No matter how powerful you are, you need rest.

If you don’t have a safe place, your condition will eventually deteriorate and you will die.

This is why vicious criminals hide from public view.

“Ouroboros, you didn’t make it, right? “I don’t think you are at that level.”

“what?”

“You look down on people. No matter how top tier you are, you still die if your head is cut off. “Be careful what you say.”

Will you die if your head is cut off? Even if it gets cut, it comes back to life at least once.

I suddenly had that thought, but I didn’t say it.

Looking at their faces, everyone seemed angry.

Still, the truth always hurts.

“If you were Maine, you wouldn’t be stuck in a place like this. Just looking at it, it looks like they were gathered together after receiving orders from above.”

No matter how much you think about it, this is true.

They were waiting for us.

It must have been planned to draw attention to Sisyphus and attack the students.

‘Where did the information leak out?’

This also needs to be looked at.

Because it means there may be a traitor inside.

Unless it is.

‘The exposure of Sisyphus’ location could itself be a trap.’

It would be easy to get information that they were looking for an international criminal.

He may have used that to plot this incident.

You can ask for more details.

“It may be a little early, but let’s start mental education.”

Originally, I was going to teach with Sisyphus, but things changed.

Flexible response depending on the situation. This is important too.

Everyone nods as if they are thinking the same thing.

“Are you going to avoid killing me as much as possible?”

“Let’s do that. “If it’s difficult, let me know.”

“Heng. “Something like that.”

“If I just break it properly, it’ll be fine!”

“I’m going to have to knock him out.”

I took a step forward.

The fluffy leaves remain.

There may be more troops that we haven’t found.

“You may be tired from practice today, but pay attention. “Those guys over there have an international bounty on them for serious terrorism and crimes.”

At my words, the students gathered together look at the criminals.

A variety of emotions are mixed.

There is fear and, in rare cases, a desire to win.

Some students feel curious and angry.

It doesn’t matter what you feel right now.

“Those who are drunk with their own power and run wild, those who have a sense of entitlement because they are stronger than others, and those who are just crazy about pleasure and abuse their power.”

[Black Gang]

Puhwaak!

The Geomgang River rises several meters in length.

“There is a price to pay. “Those who refuse to mix with others will never be able to enter society again.”

-Paaaa!

He rushed forward like a moon and cut down the guy in front of him.

The kids didn’t cut off their heads because it wasn’t good for them emotionally.

instead.

“There are many people mixed in society. The strong, the weak, the awakened, the ordinary people. Knowing how to acknowledge each other’s differences. Don’t forget that this is the basic attitude for living together.”

Both arms were cut off.

Blood splashing one beat late and arms flying in different directions.

“Khaaaaaaak!”

A shuddering scream.

He kicked the floor, which was quickly soaked with blood, and swung his sword repeatedly.

Stab, cut, and break all parts except vital points.

It is not even a shield for petty criminals.

Finally, among the worshipers, Fire Bomb.

-Quaaaaaang!

The unpleasant smell of burning protein is carried by the wind.

Some people are disgusted by the foul smell.

Still, no one took their eyes off the battle.

Because we all knew that just watching high-level battles would help us grow.

“Everyone saw it, right? If you do bad things just because you’re awakened, then Teacher Evileye is this guy! do.”

“Ugh. If you become a criminal, Teacher Evileye will come to you. Ugh.”

“I don’t commit crimes. “I don’t commit crimes.”

“I’m so scared….”

Let’s skip the nonsense that Fluffy talks about in the middle.

There are a lot of enemies to deal with.

“Khaha! “I won’t go alone!”

The worshiper, who was caught in the explosion and turned black, fires his skills wildly.

Anyway, you should know that the worshipers are tough.

Well, it doesn’t seem to have much meaning.

“ha ha ha! Where!”

The Bald Man, who had penetrated into the enemy’s camp with a furious charge, struck the man with his fist.

The enemy also deployed defensive skills in no time.

A curtain was spread that was large enough to block all attacks.

[Bellio’s Curtain (SS) Lv.MAX]

-Kwajangchang!

The Talmoman’s fist shattered the shield and hit the guy’s collarbone.

“Aaaah!”

Just as the guy with his shoulder collapsed along with his collarbone was screaming, a licker passing by hit him on the cheek.

-Wow!

-Cow.

A guy who falls asleep with a peaceful expression and a clear sound.

Isn’t he dead?

I had a bit of that suspicion, but guess what? It’s not noticeable at all.

From a distance, it will look like you are just sleeping.

Narcolepsy or something like that. cancer. Anyway.

The international criminals screamed as if they could not bear to watch as the battle line collapsed in an instant.

“Three people at most! “I can catch enough!”

“Do not panic! Just do what you did before!”

I was caught in a surprise attack for a while.

They started moving systematically.

-Oooooh!

Those with relatively low ratings apply debuffs or protect attackers, while those with quick feet divert attention with low-lethal but unpleasant attacks.

Is that all?

“Fluffy!”

“I will take responsibility for this!”

They even attack students using their superiority in personnel.

They seem to have realized that this is a weak spot, so they launch a powerful attack.

But don’t worry.

Because we are specialists in dealing with the majority.

“Gold comes out quickly!”

Nyangpun quickly ran towards the guys targeting the students and swung his golden mace.

Their eyes widen.

“Damn it! “It’s a concept weapon!”

“It’s a gold explosion! “If you can’t avoid it, just hide underground!”

The top tier is famous and the weapons and skills they use are widely known.

As soon as they see the golden mace, they quickly retreat.

It’s fake.

“Hey. “Good luck running away, you guys.”

While Nyangpun faked as if he was going to use Gold Explosion, Lickjjagi ran forward and threw a compression ball.

The most vulnerable time during battle is during retreat.

No matter how good your skills are, it is difficult to freely block attacks coming from behind rather than from the front.

[Unlock (SSS) Lv.MAX]

-Kaaaaaang!

Scissorhands came forward just before being swept away by the attack.

A lot of junk pouring out of the compressor.

His power was proven while climbing, but he was no ordinary person.

Wow.

I thought a hand made of blades flashed.

-Patter.

All the fragments were pulverized as if they had been ground in a blender.

A sharpness that disallows any approach.

Nevertheless, there was no hesitation in Lickjjakki’s movements.

-Help.

I grabbed the guy’s hand.

Blood is flowing from Lick Jjakjak’s grip.

That’s how sharp the blade is.

Lick-jjak raises the corners of his mouth, ignoring the pain.

“It seems like a good weapon, but what should I do?”

[Compression (SSS) Lv.MAX]

Normally, this would be an embarrassing situation.

It wasn’t Scissorhands.

“There is a misunderstanding.”

[Skill is not applicable.]

Ouch.

Scissorhands gives strength to the hands.

“These are my hands. They are not weapons or anything.”

Grumbling.

The blood that flowed down the palm and soaked the floor.
