155. Episode 155
“What the heck! The player is going off-topic!”
“I searched the entire area but couldn’t find it! I conquered all the trials and was preparing for a new one when it suddenly disappeared!”
“Find it! Find it somehow! Damn it, do you know how many major constellations are watching over that player?”
The management office of the tower.
Among them, the department in charge of managing the swamp, which is the theme of floors 11 to 15, was busier than ever.
In fact, I expected something to happen.
Through the information from the lower floor, we learned about what the player named ‘Jeong Se-woon’ was doing while climbing the tower.
However, I wasn’t too worried because the swamp theme didn’t have as many hidden pieces as other trials.
But what is this?
Not only did we find the Guardian Clan of the Hidden Piece of the Swamp, but we also defeated all the Lizardmen and Orc tribes while conquering other trials.
In the end, I finally managed to meet the owner of the swamp.
And then there was one more floor left, which was a bit tricky, and then the player disappeared?
Then, the man sitting in front of the largest monitor opened his mouth.
“… … found it.”
“Wow, that’s amazing! Did you really search through all these dimensions?”
“Yes. Here.”
“What kind of crazy bastard is that… … crazy!”
Seun’s special envoy was Tuning.
As soon as the establishment he had established disappeared, he took up residence in the management office and investigated every suspicious channel he could find.
And just in case, I investigated this place.
“It’s a board.”
It was the sanctuary of Pan, the scoundrel of Olympus.
There, the figure of Seun, holding a sword and facing off against Pan, who had descended in the form of a giant mountain goat, was reflected.
“If it’s Pan, I know he’s locked up in the prison of Olympus! Why him!”
“During the tutorial, I lowered the level of the board and incurred my father’s hatred, which led to me being sent to prison. The reason for this is the player Jeong Se-woon.”
“The player fed the constellation water? Does that make sense?”
“Anyway, now is the time to take action.”
The constellations intervened directly in the tower.
He did not borrow the power of the believers, but changed floors and descended in his original form.
This was an act of blatant disregard for not only the management office but also the tower’s system.
Since it was the job of the management office to give fair trials to the players, they had to somehow handle the current situation properly.
“What should we do? It’s unreasonable for us to interfere with the sanctuary.”
What was great was that Seun was holding the board for quite some time.
Even though he had already fallen to a dangerous level and lost most of his status by descending to the lower levels, he was still a constellation.
It was astonishing that he wasted so much time against such a constellation.
However, Pan took Seun to his sanctuary.
If it was something that happened within the floor, then it would be different, but if it was a sanctuary, there was no way for even the management office to get involved.
You can report this to Olympus and hold them accountable for what happened, but that won’t solve anything.
At that moment, Tuning, who had been lost in thought, snapped his fingers.
“If it’s a sanctuary, why don’t you ask another constellation?”
“Another constellation! There’s no way there’s a constellation that would pay causality to stop that scoundrel for just one player!”
“It’s over there.”
“what?”
– The constellation ‘The Crow with its Head Bowed’ requests intervention in the case.
– The constellation, ‘The Crow with its Head Down’, spreads its wings wide, saying that it will not leave the management office or anything alone unless the path is opened immediately.
Since when?
On one side of the monitor, messages from a constellation were coming in like crazy.
Mamon, the god of greed.
If he is a god of the highest rank among evil spirits, he will be able to easily block something like this.
“But, calling in the devil… … .”
“Isn’t there no way for now? If we manipulate causality and provide reasonable compensation, we can reduce the problem.”
“… … Okay, I see.”
As of now, there was no way.
I don’t know about other players, but if a player watched by three demons dies from such an absurd act, there will definitely be an unbearable outcry.
Rather, it would be better to let them figure it out themselves.
– The Tower’s management office approves the intervention of the ‘Bowed Crow’.
– The constellation, ‘The Crow with its Head Bowed’ descends.
The moment the manager, having finished his worries, pressed the red button, black wings appeared in the sanctuary of the board.
* * *
Se-woon raised his head and looked at the woman.
She had black hair that reached down to her waist, a tight-fitting dress, and her eyes were a sparkling purple like jewels.
As her crow-like wings flap, black feathers flutter into the air.
Se-Woon, who had been unfazed by the sight of the board right before his eyes, felt goosebumps running down his body.
Although it was his first time seeing her, Se-Woon could tell who she was the moment he saw her.
‘Mammon.’
At best, he thought that Tuning, the special agent, would show up, but for the Demon of Greed to show up himself was something that even Se-Woon had never expected.
“Khaaaaak!”
“Shut up.”
Kwak!
“Big! Big!”
Pan screamed to escape from the chains, but at Mammon’s single word, the writhing black chain wrapped around Pan’s snout.
Still, the constellations were constellations, and each time the board shook its body, the black chains shook along with the ground.
“I see you’re not ready for your punishment yet.”
No matter how hard it was, if a demon appeared in front of you, you would naturally lower your head, but this guy had already lost his senses a long time ago.
Pan strengthened his body by drawing on all the divinity he possessed as a constellation.
His horns grow larger and his body muscles swell as if they are going to burst.
It stood up like a pillar with its hooves touching the ground, and finally burst the black chain of Mammon that was wrapped around its snout.
Along with that, Mamon’s eyebrows furrowed greatly.
“Just one more step! Just one more step, and I can be recognized by my father!”
“Meeeeeee-”
At Pan’s shout, all the livestock in the sanctuary burst into laughter.
At the master’s shout, he moved his legs in preparation for the final attack. No, he tried to move them.
“Jim.”
Pooh book!
Mammon’s feathers fluttering in the air struck all the livestock in the sanctuary.
The livestock were unable to even protest and turned to black ash as they scattered into the air.
“Shut up.”
Pooboobooboo!
“Khaaak!”
Black feathers transformed into various weapons and pierced Pan’s body.
The legendary magic sword, Dainslife.
The sword of the god of light, Lu, Pragarap.
Gungnir, the spear of the supreme god Odin, etc.
They were all weapons representing one dimension, one century, and one myth.
Starting from the toes, ankles, calves, knees, and thighs, the legendary weapons pierced Pan’s body from the bottom up.
“Didn’t you do it?”
Pooboobooboo!
Countless weapons pierced Pan’s entire body except his head.
I couldn’t move a single finger or toe.
Only then did Pan come to his senses and realize that he had provoked an enemy he should never have dared to provoke.
However, the situation has already reached a point where it is irreversible.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry! Please save me! Please save me! I was so out of my mind that I didn’t recognize you!”
“Yeah, I guess you’re finally ready for your punishment.”
Phew!
“Ugh!”
She folded her wings and came down to the ground, trampling the center of the board’s forehead with the sharp heels of her high heels.
The curve of the blade was stuck in the bridge of his nose, but Pan didn’t dare to vomit out the pain. He just hoped that she would spare his life.
“First, I must take the eye that dared to covet Jim’s treasure.”
Phew!
“Khaaak!”
Mammon’s slender fingers pierced Pan’s eyes.
While Pan couldn’t stand it anymore and screamed, she pulled her hand away and her eyes were still trembling as if she was still alive.
“And I will also take away that tongue that dared to disobey Jim and make a fuss.”
Phew!
“Kahhak! Kahaaaaak!”
Mamon pulled out the tongue of the board with his other hand.
How could such strength come from such a slender body? It didn’t seem like much strength was put into it, but Pan’s tongue came out long.
Pan, who had suffered the pain of having his tongue ripped off not by a knife but by force, tried to scream, but because his tongue was gone, he could only let out a whistling sound.
But the board held out hope.
I thought that was the end of it since I had one ‘bee’ in each hand. I thought that if I could just survive, I would somehow be able to recover from my wounds.
But unfortunately, the opponent was Mamon, the demon of ‘greed’.
“Wow, even though it’s a worm-like body, its horns look quite valuable.”
“Kahak! Ah, Adaneda! Pfft, the horned horse!”
Bloody tears flowed from Pan’s remaining eye.
Although his pronunciation was dull due to his lack of a tongue, he opened his lips with all his might.
The horns of the plate represent the shape of the plate itself.
It was the symbol that brought him to the constellation, and it was the source of all his power.
If you lose your horn, you will not only completely lose your status as a constellation, but you will also lose your life.
That must absolutely be prevented.
Pan wiggled his head in a final act of resistance, but the more he did so, the deeper the high heel stuck in his forehead dug into his nose.
“This is… … I will take it as payment for daring to bring Jim to such a wretched place.”
“not…….”
Phew!
As the bridge of the board’s nose collapsed, the horn of the mountain goat that had been showing off its splendid appearance was pulled out by Mamon’s hand.
The roots were so deeply embedded that the skull was pulled together, revealing a pale brain beneath.
Phew!
Mammon didn’t stop there, he pulled out the other horn as well.
There was already no sign of any reaction from Pan’s body.
Mamon’s expression, which had been crumpled while facing the board, brightened for the first time when he looked at a pair of horns.
Death of the constellation.
Se-Woon, who was watching the precious scene right in front of his nose, shook his head.
No matter how much a constellation is known to be immortal, if it loses its status as a constellation, even the concept of immortality will disappear.
It was a natural result, since I dared to speak in front of people without even knowing the topic.
Even though Pan was called the abandoned child, he was clearly the son of Zeus. Since he killed such a person, it would be natural to worry about Zeus’s reaction…
“I like this quite a bit. I think it would look good even if placed in the center of the warehouse.”
There was no sign of concern for him on Mammon’s face.
Rather, he seemed very excited and thought about where to place the horns of the board.
“thank you.”
As she was absorbed in admiring the horn of the board, Se-un came forward first to express his gratitude.
Only then did Mamon’s gaze turn to Seun.
I thought I had become somewhat accustomed to facing a god when facing Leviathan, but when I faced Mammon, I felt a sense of pressure that was incomparable to that time.
It seems that Leviathan had lost its power and was banished from the tower, and since they hadn’t directly encountered each other, the pressure was less.
If the stigmata hadn’t been glowing red and blocking the pressure, I would have fallen to my knees and lost my mind right then.
“You don’t need to thank me. I just protected my treasure.”
“……yes?”
“Even if it wasn’t this life. The moment you stole Jim’s warehouse, you already became ‘Jim’s.’”
Mamon’s alluring eyes swept over Seun’s body.
