Stuck in The Tower

Episode 705: A giant of fire?

Ruins on the central island.

It was a place to honor heroes from Atlantis.

It is unknown what kind of being they are.

I don’t even know why the giant under Erembat’s command has that shape.

But one thing is clear.

‘strong.’

We’ve just done it in advance.

Because of its huge size, it was able to withstand a firebomb and used retaliation to blow off one of its arms.

At least I was able to cut off the thin neck with a sword and a soul rip.

“The cost of investing in catching one is too expensive.”

The problem was that we couldn’t know how many of these guys there were.

There are three more right in front of you.

There were several hero statues at the ruins.

‘Even if I couldn’t do it, I would have passed at least 15 of them.’

I’m not sure because I didn’t pay attention, but I know it was close to twenty.

And that is only when considering only those that are relatively well preserved.

If you include those that were half destroyed or only traces remain, there will be more.

Even this alone is difficult.

“My body is heavy.”

Since entering the fog, my body has never been as heavy as it is now.

As if submerged in water.

Even when I move my arms and legs, it feels like something invisible is resisting me.

Was this what Smile Cap was warning about?

‘Feeling like you’re underwater even though you’re outside the water means you’ve entered the realm of Erembatt.’

I clearly remember being told that if you entered there, you should get out without delay.

There’s definitely a guy somewhere not far away.

I quickly figured out the situation.

‘Two injured and three monsters to deal with. Erembatt there.’

Are there more people coming to support?

Probably not.

It was almost a coincidence that I saw the signal fired by the Hwamu ship.

The fog that was encroaching on the world and creating our own world was thick, and what we saw and heard there was not ours.

-Paat.

As soon as I finished my judgment, I took care of the fallen Awl Fairy and Hwamu-seon.

First, run away.

There’s nothing you can’t fight if you want to fight, but it’s impossible to fight while protecting the two.

“Yes.”

The Awl Fairy’s condition is not good.

It is especially serious on the right hand.

Were any of his bones crushed when he was caught in the giant’s grasp?

Even though he fainted, he let out a soft moan when held with one hand.

If your ribs are broken, you can only hope that no organs are pierced.

“Off.”

“Hwamu-seon, are you out of your mind?”

“Thank you for coming, Evil Eye.”

“That’s enough. Hold on tight. “I’ll get out of here.”

Nod.

Hwamu-seon agrees.

“The wind will show you the way.”

-Huung.

When Hwamu-seon swings his fan, a ray of wind blows out.

Although it was only a gentle breeze, it steadily made its way through the fog.

I had no sense of direction due to the fog, but thanks to that, I survived.

“Do not delay. It will be back soon.”

“that? Erembat?”

“Erembahtra. “There is one more thing that cannot be defeated by strangeness.”

Is there more to it than him?

At least it’s not an ancient monster.

Because they’ve already caught them all.

I’m sure there aren’t any other fragments of chaos.

“Maybe that’s closer to the main body. “I carried an Erembat!”

“We’ll talk later, now is not the time.”

“Please.”

With that, Hwamu-seon lost consciousness.

You have to go to the central island.

Even if I go there, I don’t know how much time I will have.

Not only was the place we were already near the central island.

‘There must be people other than these two who have suffered.’

I could guess that there was much more damage than expected.

Those who entered the fog before me.

It would be nice if they too escaped safely, but that was too hopeful.

-Guoooooo.

A cry that resembled the sound of a boat horn made me hurry.

Erembat.

Because it was the sound of a bastard.

I glanced back and saw a huge figure floating in the air beyond the fog.

‘giant?’

Below it was the silhouette of a giant with one arm raised.

Is that long, fluttering hair?

It is easily two heads taller than the giant I fought just now.

That must be the giant Hwamu-seon was talking about.

I glared at that place once and then looked away.

-Pahaaa.

The pressure that was constricting my body disappeared as if I was going in the right direction.

Wet clothes stick to my chest heavily.

Was it still in the water?

Tsk. I clicked my tongue and strengthened my legs.

Soon the fog gradually cleared.

-Piyuuuung.

I immediately fired the flare first.

The color is red.

An indication that the defense line cannot be maintained and a retreat is being made.

Is he even responding to me?

The end of the horizontal fog.

“…Orange.”

The smoke from the flare signaling annihilation dispersed in disarray.

* * *

Central Island.

Now that the defense line has become meaningless, all the survivors have gathered in one place.

“The situation is much more serious than I thought.”

No one denied Smilecap’s words.

Erembatt became active and its fog returned several more times.

At most, how many people were affected for a few days?

About 30 people went up to the 97th floor.

In addition, including those who came up from the 96th floor, there were about 40 people.

It is the 14th day since the flooding occurred.

There were 21 survivors.

With all the things going on, you might say that half as much is okay.

Even Smilecap said that half of them would die here.

If there is one thing that has been overlooked.

‘Nine people came back from the dead.’

It is the combined number of them.

In other words, nearly two-thirds of the people died in this ordeal.

And the threat that killed them is still alive and well.

“Mmm.”

“Lie down a little longer. “I have to fight when the time comes anyway.”

Choco Choco lays Hwa Mu-seon down again as he tries to get up.

Thanks to intensive treatment, the wound has healed, but more time is needed to fully heal.

Hwamu-seon is at least better.

“My fingers feel strange.”

“I used the elixir, so I’ll be back soon.”

The Chiri Fairy wrapped the Awl Fairy’s hand.

The mortally wounded Awl Fairy had one of her arms tattered.

An injury that would be impossible with a simple potion.

Thanks to Elixir and Deokchun, all my bones were healed.

There is still nerve damage though.

It was bad news for the awl fairy who used precise techniques.

I guess there’s a lot of bad news besides the crap.

“The fact that I haven’t been able to return until now should be considered unfortunate.”

“Couldn’t you wait a little longer?”

“Aning. I was in the fog too. “The chances of him surviving until now are very low.”

The fairy’s expression gets worse.

What Lickjjakki and Nyangpun said is correct.

Several days have passed since the water rose on the central island.

If you haven’t been able to escape on your own until now, you should consider yourself defeated.

Even if you are lucky enough to escape through the fog.

‘It would have sunk in the water by now.’

Because there, you can’t tell whether you’re in the water or on the land.

I can’t say it out loud, but everyone probably knows.

This is all there is to a survivor.

“Muscle Fairy Magma Fairy….”

“Don’t be discouraged. Even though he is dead, he is not truly gone.”

“It’s the same everywhere else where there are sacrificed colleagues.”

Muscle Fairy from the Fairy Club and Kim Jo-gyun from the Magma Fairy Rookie group.

Jae-kyung Park, who I also have a connection with, and numerous other members of the alliance.

There.

“Why hasn’t the hair loss man come out yet? “Even if you don’t have hair, you have to have a sense of direction.”

The hair loss man has not returned yet.

The fact that my stomach is tangled up means that the members and I are the same.

I left the community window open just in case, but I couldn’t see the hair loss man’s chat.

That’s why I’m more concerned.

‘Are there any hair loss man coins left?’

I don’t know.

Unless there is a special purpose, the number of coins is not shared.

You may feel a sense of relative deprivation.

‘Because worshipers sometimes approach those who have no coins left.’

The more desperate a person is, the easier it is to tempt them.

In fact, such a case was discovered, and the union decided not to reveal the coin.

Well, the members and I usually hang out by playing drips, so we didn’t have a chance to talk.

“Is the hair loss man dead? “Community addicts are quiet.”

“You never know. “I wonder if that guy will survive somehow.”

really.

If nothing else, the hair man is at the top when it comes to his strong body and ability to survive.

Should I say that the experience itself is different?

“Everyone, wake up. “I’m coming again.”

After a moment of silence, Ophelia stood up.

The Noble Knights formed a formation as if to protect her.

It’s quite reassuring to see him taking the lead over others.

The place in the fog that suffered relatively little damage was Noble Knight.

Basically, thanks to moving as a group.

Most of those affected moved as individuals or in small numbers.

Hwamu-seon and Awl Fairy, who are currently recovering, are the same case.

“This time they’re coming from both sides.”

Smile Cap also twists the corners of his mouth and tilts his head crookedly.

Sea fog is coming in from the 2 o’clock and 10 o’clock directions.

Seeing that the fog coming from 10 o’clock was much larger, I think the force was concentrated on that side.

“The Fairy Club protects patients in the center. “Ophelia and I will be in charge of 10 o’clock.”

“What about chocolate choco?”

“I’ll go with you. “That will be the right number of people.”

If Smilecap goes with Ophelia, 10 o’clock would be fine.

Me and Lick Jjak Nyang Fun Choco Choco are teaming up.

There may be a small number, but it’s a small fog, so it’ll work out somehow.

Excluding the rest of the fairy club.

“I will ask for additional fog to be generated.”

“Of course, Evileye!”

“Petit!”

“love!”

“peace!”

Personnel, including those from the Coalition, will be in charge.

It’s a kind of reserve unit.

“No, there are still too few people, brother!”

“Then, if you get hit, it’s over.”

“oh. older brother! damn!”

I ran, leaving behind the voices of concern.

I appreciate your concern, but it’s time for everyone to do their part.

-Whoa.

I inserted the communication artifact into my ear and entered the fog.

Buildings created in an empty plain.

A monster disguised as a human wanders around inside.

I wanted to deal with it all at once, but I felt like it.

“Pay attention to them!”

“It smells fishy!”

I ignored it and passed by.

These guys act like they live in a village.

If you leave a certain area, it won’t chase you.

Information learned from several experiences.

“It will be deep soon. “Be nervous.”

“of course!”

Choco Choco raises the battle hammer.

Since it uses large weapons, it will be helpful in dealing with giants.

“It’s out!”

just as expected.

As we entered Erembat’s territory deep in the fog, a giant appeared.

Those who move large bodies.

The roads and villages below were inhabited by foggy people.

“It seems like it has increased even more.”

“You’ve arrived at the central island. “You’re acting like a hero.”

Everyone was kneeling down and worshiping the giant.

It’s like bowing with your arms spread out.

This is the scene that occurred after Erembatt entered the central island.

It seemed like a welcome return of a hero, but…

It’s just weird to see monsters doing that.

-chuck.

The licker sends a hand signal.

Two giants appeared.

If you combine them well, you can fight well.

Choco Choco and I are on the left and Lick Jjak and Nyang Fun are on the right.

A giant in the shape of an old man with a long beard.

-Quaaaang!

I ran up to him and set off a firebomb on his ankle.

Next, Choco Choco swung his battle hammer.

-Kugugu palace.

The guy with a weak ankle keeps his balance by stepping hard on his remaining foot.

It’s just a moment.

How can you capture him like this?

A strong pair of arms came to grab us, but we had already expected it.

“Aim for the cervical spine!”

“Hold on just a little longer!”

I quickly jumped, blazing the guy’s body with my stick.

The destination is his beard.

“Let’s live hygienically, child.”

[Mangeunchuhwan (S)]

– Kugugugugugung!

He hung on to his beard and increased the weight as much as possible.

The body leans forward due to the rapidly increased weight.

The moment when he supports the ground with both arms to avoid falling.

“Hwaap!”

[Sound Smash (SSS) Lv.8]

– Quad deud deu deuk!

Choco Choco’s hammer crushed the guy’s neck vertebrae.

A guy whose neck is bent in a deformed way and falls over.

“you are good.”

“I’m the boss of the fairy club.”

It was a neat sum.

Through repeated battles, I became accustomed to dealing with giants.

If you make a mistake even once, it’s a mess from then on.

“It’s over over there too.”

Lick Jjak and Nyang Pun also finished the battle without any time to provide support.

Black blood was flowing from the giant’s distorted body here and there.

It would have been nice if it had just stopped here.

-thud! thud! thud! thud!

Earth-shaking footsteps approached quickly.

That thing running through the fog.

“Four?”

“Why are there four marinas?”

Four giants in the form of warriors emit tremendous force.

The fog size was small, but why?

Or rather, why are you running?

At least so far, I’ve never seen them running unless they’re in combat.

Was there a variable because it was a central island?

Or maybe they were attracted to aggro after seeing us fight.

Many thoughts passed through my mind, but the response was quick.

“Catch the guy in front first!”

The absolute number of people must be reduced first.

I stepped forward.

Because I’m the only one who can stop those heavy guys.

First, if you push the body with the rainbow bridge….

“Uryaaaa!”

The timing of focusing on the five senses and aiming for the right time to use a skill.

A shout like a roar was heard.

I forgot that I was in a battle and turned my head when I heard a familiar voice.

-Quaaaaaaaaa!

For a moment, the fog turned red, and a burning giant hit the head of the giant who was running straight ahead.

Red-colored rocks and magma flowing like blood.

Above it is the image of a giant spouting steam from the high temperature.

“Hahaha! “How does it taste!”

“You crazy person! You crazy person!”

There was a bald man smiling brightly and a magma fairy hitting the guy’s back.
