Episode 77

Episode 77

Among all the races climbing the Tower.

The Dark Elves, who could be said to be the strongest without exaggeration.

-Whooooooo….

Those Dark Elves.

Three of them.

Were dead.

-Whooooooo…!

However, paying no heed,

the wind of the snowy mountain was growing sharper.

-….

The relatively strong races,

couldn’t open their mouths because they couldn’t believe this situation.

-….

The relatively weak races,

couldn’t open their mouths because they feared this situation.

If we had to define it,

humans were a race that belonged to the ‘weak’ side.

Occasionally exceptional beings would appear.

But they were few in number.

Most humans were slaughtered by other races,

and that was natural.

However, now.

Everything that happened on this snowy mountain where bitter winds raged,

Lee Tae-pyeong’s appearance.

Denied all of history.

“Are you insane?”

A Dwarf shouts.

“W-we’re all dead…!”

A Halfling wails.

But Lee Tae-pyeong didn’t even blink.

“Who’s dying?”

-….

“Ah, those guys?”

-….

When Lee Tae-pyeong pointed at the Dark Elf corpses rolling on the ground,

the top of the city wall fell silent for a moment.

“No, it’s not like I’m trying to emphasize camaraderie by using the word ‘us’ or anything.”

-….

“We’re not going to die.”

-….

“To be precise.”

-….

“‘I’m’ not going to die.”

At the sight of Lee Tae-pyeong picking his ear while speaking,

sighs erupted from here and there.

“Do you think you’ll be safe just because you’re a summoner?”

At the cold voice of the Bloodline,

“Ha.”

Lee Tae-pyeong chuckled.

“I never said I was a summoner.”

“…!”

“You think I’d survive alone thanks to that mutt?”

“You wouldn’t be thinking otherwise, would you?”

-Tweeeeet!

Before the Bloodline could finish speaking, Lee Tae-pyeong blew his whistle.

Then, the Cerberus disappeared in an instant.

“Satisfied?”

“W-what on earth are you thinking…!”

“People with brains don’t do things like climbing the Tower.”

“Wh-what?!”

“They’d probably study hard, go to university, and get jobs at big corporations.”

“U-university? Big corporations…?”

“Ah, you guys wouldn’t know.”

“You bastard…!”

-Boom!

-Boom!

-Boom!

-Boom!

Just then,

the sound of drums echoing from afar.

“It’s already started.”

Lee Tae-pyeong threw the dagger he was holding.

-Thunk!

The blade struck right in the center of the leather the Dark Elves had been carrying.

“Now, you all want to live, right?”

-….

No one answered.

No, they couldn’t answer.

Whatever their intentions.

Everyone knew Lee Tae-pyeong’s power.

Perhaps this one human,

might do something even crazier than the Dark Elves.

In that fear, no one could open their mouth.

“Let me say this first.”

-….

“I have no intention of making you do perverted shit like divine markings or whatever.”

-….

“And I have no intention of taking your achievement points.”

-….

The other races gradually began murmuring.

Then what exactly?

Unable to contain his frustration, a Dwarf shouted angrily.

“Then what the hell do you want!”

At those words, Lee Tae-pyeong answered as if he’d been waiting.

“Going outside the city wall.”

-…!

-…!!

-…!!!

The other races were shocked.

“Are you crazy?”

“He’s crazy.”

“He’s insane!”

At the sight of them all shouting that he was crazy,

Lee Tae-pyeong let out a laugh.

‘Geez, those cowards.’

If they were going to be this scared, why did they even enter the Tower?

Lee Tae-pyeong clicked his tongue and looked at the other races.

“Don’t worry.”

-…!

“I’m not asking you to come out with me.”

-Murmur murmur.

The other races were even more shocked than when Lee Tae-pyeong first said he would ‘go outside the city wall.’

“Th-then you’re saying you’ll go out alone right now?”

The halfling asked with a pale face,

“Yeah.”

Lee Tae-pyeong answered indifferently.

“I-isn’t this a suicide attempt?”

“He seems to have lost his mind…?”

The other races each voiced their thoughts.

Half-listening, half-ignoring.

Lee Tae-pyeong picked at his ear and asked.

“Or do you have any good ideas?”

-….

“If you do, tell me. I’ll listen.”

-….

The surroundings instantly became quiet.

Lee Tae-pyeong, who had been looking beyond the city wall,

“You there.”

-…!

“You, and you.”

-…!!

-…!!

“And you too.”

-…!!!

What Lee Tae-pyeong chose were various other races.

If there was one thing they had in common,

they were all mages.

And they were specialists in ‘flame’ magic.

“Y-you said you weren’t asking us to come out with you!”

One gnome shouted.

He looked terrified, wondering if he might be dragged along like this.

“Don’t count your chickens before they hatch.”

Lee Tae-pyeong let out a deep sigh.

“Unless you’re at least at Ujeongmin’s level, what use would I have for taking you guys?”

Ujeongmin?

At the unfamiliar name, the mages looked at each other as if they couldn’t understand.

Only then realizing his mistake, Lee Tae-pyeong scratched the back of his head.

“That’s not what I meant.”

-….

“You all know how to use flame magic, right?”

-…?

“Just melt the gate for me.”

-…!!

“To break through and get out, my strength is a bit lacking.”

At Lee Tae-pyeong, who shamelessly added ‘everything else is fine though,’

the other races could only stare with dumbfounded expressions.

“No way!”

Then, one dwarf stepped forward.

“Has everyone forgotten what the purpose of this map is in the first place?”

The dwarf shouted with veins bulging in his neck.

“It’s to defend the city wall!”

-!!!!

“If the city wall is breached, we lose! We absolutely cannot let him go out!!”

At the dwarf’s words, the other races stirred again.

“We absolutely, absolutely must stop him!”

Everyone nodded their heads.

Lee Tae-pyeong, who had been listening quietly, sighed again.

“How?”

-…?!

“In the first place, you guys who were obediently offering tribute to those bastards.”

-…!!!

“How exactly are you going to stop me?”

No one could answer.

Because in no one’s mind,

could they think of any way to stop Lee Tae-pyeong, who had instantly defeated the three dark elves.

“Tsk tsk.”

Lee Tae-pyeong clicked his tongue as if he had expected this.

“I was even going to share the boxes with you.”

-Whooooooo….

“This won’t do.”

* * *

I’ll have to eat it all by myself.

The city wall is made of eternal ice,

and flame magic is essential to break through it.

The problem is that I’m not a mage.

‘But it’s not like there’s no way.’

I just need to buy flame magic-related items from the shop.

It’ll cost some merit points, but whatever.

These guys say they can’t cooperate.

Just as I was about to open the System shop.

Someone grabbed my shoulder.

When I turned my head to look,

there was some masked man.

What is this now.

Is it an item?

It feels like an Indian mask.

“Are you human?”

The mask nods its head.

“Are you trying to stop me?”

The mask shakes its head.

What.

Is it a concept of not speaking?

“Are you saying you’ll help me?”

-Nod nod.

“Do you have fire magic?”

-Shake shake.

Then how are you going to help?

As I looked with a bewildered expression,

-Swoosh.

The mask raises its hand to show me.

And soon, the mask points to a dagger stuck in the ground.

Then,

-Float…

The dagger slowly rises into the air.

Telekinesis?

-Float…

The dagger moves following the mask’s hand.

The dagger flew over the city wall,

-Float…

Soon, it began to descend very slowly outside.

“Ooh!”

So it can lower me down without having to open the gate?

It seems much more efficient than breaking down the castle gate.

Those idiots would probably resist less too.

It actually fits my purpose!

‘If I kill them all by myself, all of that becomes my reward.’

Hehehe.

Those guys cowering here will only get merit points at best.

But what I’m aiming for wasn’t merit points.

Achievements, titles, reward boxes.

Those kinds of things.

‘You guys can just farm merit points here.’

I’ll take care of everything else.

I grinned as I looked down below the city wall.

The distance was quite far, so a safe landing with [Echo Walker]’s blink movement was impossible.

That’s why I was thinking of breaking down the gate and going out.

But if there’s someone with telekinetic abilities, the story changes.

“Okay.”

I grinned and shook hands with the mask.

“Please take care of me?”

-Nod nod.

The mask extends both hands toward me.

It seemed to be muttering something,

-Float…

Soon my body begins to rise.

Not bad?

However, balancing was a problem, so I flailed around a bit.

The mask waited for a moment until I got used to it.

Once I mastered how to stand safely, it moved me outside the city wall.

The rest of the other races watching this like they’re looking at a crazy bastard.

I grinned and waved at them.

“It won’t take long, so don’t worry.”

At the same time,

My body slowly begins to descend below the city wall.

Since the speed was quite slow,

I crossed my arms and leisurely looked around.

Looking at it this way, the scenery is really nice.

It feels exactly like being inside a movie.

-Murmur murmur.

-Murmur murmur.

Getting closer to the ground

meant getting closer to the enemies outside the castle.

The opposing team that spotted me looked at me with bewildered expressions.

Not much different from the expressions of those who were on the city wall.

‘Should I get down around here.’

Since I was somewhat close to the ground,

I used [Echo Walker]’s blink movement to come down to the floor.

-Splat!

Huh?

“…Damn it!”

Shit.

Of all places, I landed on top of a dark elf whose whole body had burst and died.

Ugh, what terrible luck.

My shoes got dirty!

Why the hell is this bastard dead here?

“Ah, and there’s no tissue…!”

Stomp stomp stomp.

I stomped my feet on the snowy field, shaking off the flesh and blood that got on [Echo Walker].

The dark elf’s flesh and blood scattering in drops.

And,

The other races outside the city wall watching me like they’re looking at a crazy bastard.

‘Hmm, the atmosphere here is a bit different.’

Unlike on the city wall where there were halflings, gnomes, dwarfs, dark elves, bloodlines, humans, etc.

This place is crawling with physical types including orcs and beastmen.

‘Well, this side is more comfortable for me anyway.’

Just like on the city wall,

I smiled and waved at them.

“Kahahahahaha!!!”

An orc bursts into laughter as soon as it sees me.

Judging by its thick and long fangs, it seems like a guy with some strength?

“The dark elf falling to its death was funny too, but…”

Just how funny was it.

The orc bastard even pretends to wipe away tears.

“It’s even more interesting that a human came down here on his own!!”

Hmm.

Such a typical line.

“It should be fun.”

I casually responded to the orc’s words.

“Today’s your death anniversary, so shouldn’t you laugh to your heart’s content before you go?”

“What?!”

“That dark elf falling was fucking hilarious, wasn’t it?”

As I asked with a grin, the orc’s face contorted.

“I’m the one who did that.”

“…Kahahaha!!!”

Seeing him burst into laughter again.

He doesn’t believe me at all.

Well, it doesn’t matter.

“Hey guys.”

Even if he doesn’t want to believe it, he’ll have to.

“Want hyung to show you something amazing?”
