94 – The night is too dark (3)

“Heh-uh-huh-huh-huh… “

As soon as I reached the basement, I rolled my eyes and looked around. Nothing was visible, and there was no sign of anything coming from behind.

“… Whoa.”

Only then did he check the condition of the sword in his hand. The blade is so damaged that it looks like a saw rather than a sword. A replacement is urgently needed, but the pile of swords has been left in the existing passage.

“f*ck.”

I never thought that the blocked passage would be opened. Did the bastard who designed the 4th floor know we were going to build the passageway? Would it have been different if it had been blocked with soil instead of bricks? Then a wolf or a cat monster would have dug a den.

More than that, why is the basement so quiet? There is a thumping sound from above, and various screams vibrate, but this basement is infinitely quiet.

“… It must be because there are no people.”

The monsters looked blindly upward. There were several cases… I decided to think about that later.

“… “

Did it fail? Regression is already confirmed. Whether it’s a player or an outsider, the sacrifice isn’t usually a big deal.

“No, let’s think positively. Are you okay.”

I got a lot of information. I knew that the cat monster could penetrate if I roughly blocked the entrance, and I knew what secrets were hidden on each floor.

We also learned that on the fourth day, slime monsters appear and dissolve barricades. Wouldn’t it be okay if I carefully removed the bricks and blocked them? No, then the work speed would be infinitely slower.

It’s okay though. Regress, you can do it again.

If you regress…

“… “

From noble mtl dot com

I have to start acting again.

You have to take hold of a group of players, convince Baron Jorge, and do this sh*t all over again.

All in all, the period is five days. There was a high possibility that my mental strength would go out first before digging through the fourth floor. Choi Ji-won’s face flickers. I should have waited.

“… Ha.”

Yoon Joong-hyun. William Smith. Baron Jorge. Glasses man. Dahye Baek.

Unknowingly, affection was built up. When you return, it will be your first meeting again. It’s okay once or twice, but if it’s repeated, can you handle it?

As the strings of tension were relieved, all sorts of thoughts came to mind. To the point where it doesn’t matter even if a thumping sound echoes above your head.

“… “

I walked forward, pressing against the wall. Not because he lost his balance, but because he remembered that there was a secret passage around here.

Wait until it’s quiet in the secret passage, then go up to the first floor and deal with the remaining debris. Even if the influx of monsters stopped, the monsters that had already entered had to be dealt with.

Jerking.

At the same time as the stone bricks were hollowed out, the wall rotated once to reveal a hidden passage. It’s a narrow aisle, so even if you can’t move your body, you can squat down and rest…

“… “

“… “

Eye to eye meets. There was a passenger

“… What are you doing here?”

He is the man in my memory. A man with a rugged look who used to get irritated with people from other worlds.

“No, uh, that, that… “

A man who can’t answer and stutters. There were no wounds on his body, and his feet were completely shoeless. It seems that he wanted to comfort his sore feet from the cold.

“Why is the weapon shaped like this?”

The ax next to the man was quite damaged, but the brick in front of the man was also dug. It’s obvious. He must have hit the ax against the bricks to simulate the damage to his weapon during the battle.

“Have you been hiding here all this time? While others die?”

“… “

This man must have been hiding here from the beginning. Maybe even yesterday

While others fight with all their might, risking their lives to escape when the blocked passage is breached.

This bastard was leisurely hiding in a secret passage and rubbing his feet.

Pahak!

“Hak!”

As my feet move, drops of blood splatter in all directions from his nose. Thanks to moderate power control, the guy’s head didn’t explode.

“Make an excuse.”

“… “

“Tell me.”

I haven’t killed anyone except for killing Yangachi in the tutorial. However, that does not mean that there is a great aversion to murder.

I’m just worried that if I start killing everyone, my humanity will be irreversible. He was ready to kill the one who was going to kill him.

“Even now, people are dying. Do you know why monsters don’t come here? It’s because everyone is fighting with all their might. But what are you doing here?”

“You, you are here too! Same thing after all….”

“I must have killed more monsters than everyone else put together, so are you saying I’m just like you?”

Pahak!

I hit him on the head again. Annoyed. Was I going through all this trouble to save this bastard? Does he even have to live? If I kill you, I think you’ll feel better.

“No, not this one.”

Come to your senses. Always keep a cool head, and do only what is necessary. After killing people, what I like is monsters.

“Huh, huh….”

I was shaking my head by myself when the man in front of me suddenly started to shed tears.

“Sorry, sorry… “

“… “

“I was so, so scared… I’m afraid of dying… “

“Do you think others aren’t afraid?”

“Others… You’re strong… All attributes are also D-class… The items were already used up on the 3rd floor… “

A man who drags on and grabs my feet.

“I, I… Doesn’t help… I felt it yesterday. Others were nearly killed by goblins who were easy to catch. Even if there are 100,000 people like me, they are not as helpful as one person like you… “

“… “

“I will never climb the tower again. During the tutorial, I picked up a golden orb rolling on the floor and thought I was the main character in the world… Lucky for me, I thought anything was possible… Please save me just once… “

A disgusting excuse for a fugitive.

It was a disgusting excuse…

If.

If I hadn’t had the regression trait.

If you are in danger of dying while climbing the tower because you have received an ordinary trait that is insignificant.

Can you be sure I won’t be in that man’s place?

It’s obscene.

But ordinary people tend to become nasty when a crisis hits.

“… “

Would it be right to push this man on the back to fight again? His skills were also poor, and his heart was already broken. If tomorrow makes a man fight, he will surely die.

But what about the others who are fighting a desperate battle on the 4th floor right now? In their eyes, would it be fair to just ignore this man? Are they fighting like crazy giving their lives right now?

The time for choice has arrived, and I have the right to decide. The man curls up on him endlessly and just begs for his mercy.

“… What is your name?”

“Ryutaro, this is Ryutaro… “

I knew he wasn’t Korean because the shape of his mouth was different, but I didn’t know he was Japanese.

“… I’ll keep an eye on you. I will pass now.”

“Thank you, thank you… !”

I said that and left the secret passage. I thought it would be premature to make a decision right now, so I decided to wait and see. It means ‘forward’.

“… “

My mouth is bitter. You might think that Ryutaro entered the 4th floor because he was overzealous, but you could also think that this tower was the problem in the first place.

Was he ‘originally’ a mean person? Or did this tower make him this way?

-26: 31: 00

The commotion had subsided, so I sneaked out of the basement. Perhaps because the influx of monsters had stopped, the number of monsters seen in the hallway was small.

Forcibly wielding a heavily damaged sword, clears the path. Now that the blade is not sharp, he took the ax of an orc that passed by and used it.

“I wish I had a better weapon.”

After looking resentfully at the scabbard hanging from her waist, she swung the ax again. It was an unfamiliar weapon, but it had no problem killing monsters because of its excellent body specifications.

That’s how we passed the 1st floor, the 2nd floor, and then the 3rd floor.

Beating and killing a group of monsters, I climbed up the castle in a hurry and finally reached the stairs leading to the 4th floor.

“No, so… !”

“Now that makes sense… !”

I hear voices on the stairs. After throwing the orc’s ax roughly, I climbed the stairs.

“Is everyone okay?”

Everyone’s eyes are on me. Looking around, I saw that the 4th floor was literally full. It seems that Yoon Joong-hyeon led the people and ran away as I expected.

“Is the damage serious? Even so, I… “

I had no choice but to stop talking.

“… “

“… “

The atmosphere is infinitely cold. Too much.

“… What happened?”

I asked Yoon Joong-hyun, and he reluctantly nodded his head.

“… Two things happened. The one is… Some of the residents have fallen.”

“It’s because you guys forced me to come up. Didn’t you ask for time? Time to make space.”

“A monster is chasing us from behind. Where is the time for that?”

“Seven people fell and died. No, it would be better if I died when I fell. It would be better than being eaten alive by monsters.”

Baron Jorge stares at Yoon Joong-hyun with bloodshot eyes. But he didn’t care and looked at me and continued his words.

“… And the second… “

Yoon Joong-hyun bursts into laughter.

“The point is that we found the portal Junho hid.”
