My Exclusive Tower Guide Chapter 123

Episode 123

[You have cleared the 14th floor.]

The long journey has come to an end.

I don’t know what will happen in the future after I leave, but I have succeeded in changing history.

Originally, the main theme of the 14th floor was war.

However, Geomjong postponed his revenge for a while, and for the time being, the future proceeded as I had arranged.

Now, the sword sect’s top concern is not war, but the Surama blood sword.

‘watching? Joseph?’

In the end, I protected his descendants.

From now on, I just hope that Joseph’s blessings will rest on the Sword Order.

[Move to the 15th floor.]

It’s a little disappointing.

The fact that I can’t see the fruits of the seeds I sow.

[You have reached the 15th floor. Meanwhile, 200 years have passed in Kalia.]

Kalia again?

The message just now seemed to give such a hint.

Moreover, the last three floors were all in the same background, just in different eras.

This time too, I have vague expectations like that.

‘It would be nice if it had the same world view as the 14th floor.’

I was curious.

What kind of history has Geomjong created since then?

I also wanted to see with my own eyes how far they had perfected the Surama blood sword that I had newly learned.

Kalia on the 14th floor was the golden age of magic, but what about the 15th floor?

It was also a natural curiosity from a perspective that changed history.

Srurr.

However, when I arrived on the 15th floor, a different background unfolded than I expected.

Complete darkness.

I was led into a space of nothingness where nothing could be seen or existed.

[The mission on the 15th floor is to settle karma.]

[Players will be judged for the hangups they have accumulated in Kalia. Only those who survive the judgment can move to the 16th floor.]

A completely different development than expected.

Moreover, I felt uncomfortable with the word “judgment.”

Even if I think about it objectively, I did more good than evil in Kalia.

Above all, preventing war is something that can easily cover up most evil acts.

Nevertheless, it is difficult to judge and understand the tower from a human perspective.

[Walk forward.]

I walked through the darkness, following the guidance of the message.

In the darkness of the abyss, where I couldn’t even tell if I was moving forward, I lost all sense of direction and time.

‘Do you have the strategy book yet?’

Unfortunately, the strategy book was as dark as the darkness.

And in these cases, it is usually left as no news until the end.

‘Are you telling me to get through it on my own this time?’

So many things that happened in Kalia so far pass through my mind like a flash of light.

I thought about what I had done that deserved being judged.

Killing fellow player Oh Du-ho.

Killing part of the blood demon unit that Ella led.

The trouble that plagued the prestigious Kagayaro

… … A few more thoughts come to mind.

However, I didn’t think it was a mistake that warranted judgment.

Judgment.

This damn tower is truly an unpredictable place.

* * *

[The judge has appeared.]

[From now on, judgment on karma begins.]

Judge.

As the darkness receded, his silhouette became increasingly clear.

I took Elysion out of my inventory.

Magical power surrounded the sword from its handle to its tip.

Take a look at the situation and cut off the judge’s head right away.

plod along.

I continued walking forward.

Again and again.

The silhouette also walks towards me, gradually growing in size.

It is the appearance of a person.

I don’t know if she’s really a person, but she’s smaller and thinner than me, with long red hair.

And I couldn’t help but instinctively use honorifics.

“nice to see you.”

This is what I said, but the comment is a bit bad.

I can’t believe I’m meeting you for the first time in this situation.

But her answer was completely unexpected.

“It wouldn’t be the first time.”

“So, are you saying we are a nine-faced group?”

“What a shameless guy.”

She said something unintelligible.

And then an evil smile follows.

For a moment, a shiver ran down my spine.

Although I absolutely cannot use my senses now, there was something I could tell just by looking at the atmosphere.

That woman cannot be defeated even if I die and wake up.

I took back the magic that I had infused into Elysion.

“I do not know. “Nothing but that you are my judge.”

It can’t be spherical.

This level of presence has never been felt in Calia.

“And I wonder what my karma is.”

From now on, you must act as politely as possible.

Even if she criticizes me for absurd reasons and blames it on my karma.

“It seems like you have no idea that you committed such a big crime.”

Honestly, I have no idea.

The greatest crime I committed in Kalia was murder.

But given the vibe, I don’t think she’ll judge me for that.

“Is it because I changed the history of Calia?”

It’s not human standards, but it seemed more likely that it would be this way.

The woman in front of me is clearly not human, but a transcendent being.

“No, you missed the mark.”

“Isn’t it?”

“I don’t care whether humans change history or not.”

“As expected, you are not human.”

“I guess you had a vague guess? “I think that would be a hint as to who I am.”

A non-human being… … .

Have I ever encountered anything other than human in Kalia?

Suddenly a thought crossed my mind.

I suddenly feel dizzy.

There was one being that was not human.

But it doesn’t make sense.

Even if this is a tower, this is a bit unlikely… … .

‘Why didn’t the strategy book stop me then?’

A strong question came to my mind, but now it seemed like a pointless thought.

Because that was the best thing I did at the time.

“Now, I understand. Who you are.”

“okay? “If you knew, wouldn’t it be better to hit him head first?”

I’m worried.

Do I really need to pierce my head right now?

‘No, it’s already too late.’

We need to go out more shamelessly.

“You are the great Raden. “Isn’t it because I destroyed your temple that I was able to have a direct audience with you like this?”

Even as I say this, I actually feel trembled.

I can’t even guess how strong Ra-den is.

It felt like I was meeting Master face to face.

Raden made a bewildered expression at my words, but after a while he opened his mouth again.

“Do you want to rummage?”

“If you want to kill me, you will be willing to sacrifice your head.”

There was no way they could kill me right away, so I tried boldly.

The theme of this 15th floor is settlement of karma.

There will be a way to settle the matter one way or another, and for now, all we can do is wait and see.

“Look at this guy? “You know I won’t kill you right away anyway, right?”

“It’s an honor to meet you in person.”

“It’s the same with changing words.”

No matter how much you think about it, it is absurd.

The temple of Ra-den that I destroyed.

I just thought it was a paper temple created by the Swordsman to hide.

In reality, they did not worship Raden and thought that Raden could not exist.

“What do you think I am?”

“That’s right, God… … “Isn’t it?”

A being worshiped in a temple. There was nothing else that came to mind except God.

The fact that he appeared in front of me like this is a bit absurd, though.

“Wrong.”

“… … “Aren’t you God?”

“Even so! Temple of Ra-den? “I wonder who on earth came up with that name.”

Raden looked at me and smiled evilly again.

“You mean, the more I look at you, the more I crave you. “It’s even better when you look at it up close.”

She nuzzled my face with two fingers.

It was horribly unpleasant, but I had no intention of shaking it off.

Because my entire body was oppressed by the overwhelming force emanating from her fingertips.

“Shall I exempt you from the judgment that will be given to you?”

“I think there will be conditions.”

“Why are you asking something so obvious?”

I didn’t really want to hear those conditions.

Whatever it is, it won’t be something I will accept.

But against my will, she whispered into my ear.

“You make a contract with me.”

All the nerves in my body were tense.

Only then did I know what kind of status Raden was.

Devil.

“I will be judged.”

“what! Are you rejecting it right away? “You didn’t even listen to the conditions?”

“I was told that what I have to do here is to settle my karma. “I won’t necessarily hope for a fluke.”

“You’re not hoping for a lucky break? Where is this fraud? Just by looking at you, you are nothing short of a fluke.”

also.

I think it would be possible for someone of the level of a demon lord to see through me.

“Don’t be like that, just listen to me. “It’s a very good deal for you?”

“I won’t listen.”

“Wow! Do you really have something to melt your heart? Then just endure it for a while. “The karmic judgment you must pay!”

Raden’s expression became cold and the surrounding background began to change.

It’s pitch black again.

All I could hear was Raden’s harsh voice.

* * *

The strategy book still did not send any message.

‘Does this mean it’s not a crisis yet?’

In fact, it was a difficult situation to agree to.

Several fingers on my left hand are already numb.

One leg was tattered with wounds.

In this darkness where I couldn’t see anything, there was something attacking me, and I just continued to be helpless.

It didn’t even make a sound, and was carrying out elaborate attacks even in the dark.

Who is it?

First of all, it is not Raden.

It’s strong, but it doesn’t feel like that.

But there was one thing that was certain.

‘knife!’

The weapon attacking me is a sword.

Sigh!

This time I got cut on the shoulder.

Although you can’t see it with your eyes, a lot of blood has already been shed.

Little by little, I become dizzy.

Since entering the tower, I have experienced numerous trials on the fourteen floors, but I have never felt a sense of crisis as much as I do now.

I have never been treated so one-sidedly, and I have never been unable to find an answer.

When you reach the 15th floor, the difficulty level suddenly increases.

‘Are other players going through this same ordeal?’

Probably not.

If it were the same way as me, no one would be able to pass the 15th floor.

Karma in Kalia… … .

This damn top played a trick.

How can you match me with the devil?

“Huh!!”

I don’t know how the attack occurred, but this time I was pierced through the top of my right foot.

Gradually, my body becomes a complete mess.

I still couldn’t mount a proper defense.

Anger boils over at the helplessness.

‘There is no way that visual limitations could be this fatal.’

Nerfs to a wide range of abilities, not just visual limitations.

This is an incredibly difficult level.

If so, it will be one of two things.

Either the tower wants my death, or I have to accept the devil’s offer.

‘The fact that the strategy book continues to remain silent even in this situation… … .’

It’s entirely up to me.

Should I choose death or make a contract with the devil?

‘It’s an external channel.’

The strategy book did not stop me from destroying Ra-den’s temple and brought the situation to this point.

For the first time, I feel like I need a strategy book.

Because the strategy book is very clear about what it wants.

If I had known this would happen, I would have just listened to what the Demon King proposed from the beginning.
