Stuck in The Tower

Chapter 231 Cube Flowers

Flowers that suddenly ignite.

Surprisingly, the flowers did not burn. On the contrary, I feel more glaring as if this kind of environment is good.

Did you say ‘red flower’ worth the name?

I can’t even get a nickname… I just want to change it to a normal nickname…..

Uhm… anyway.

“The firepower is strong, but not enough to withstand.”

“To that.”

The fire resistance skill level is already high.

The real problem is this.

“A puzzle in a cube.”

I can’t get a feel for it at all.

I also liked games when I was young.

It was the same when I was in middle school.

It was my daily life to go to PC rooms or karaoke with my school and academy friends.

That is, until a cataclysm happens.

In the second year of middle school, the world changed with a cataclysm, and a life that was no different from hell continued.

survival.

That was my top priority, and I went through a period full of anxiety and resentment towards the fearful world.

In the meantime, is there any time for puzzles or games?

Of course, as much as the world went back to shit, there was less to do, so I played games to pass the time.

Playing one card with a few missing cards and playing poker.

During the holidays, I watched people playing cards or played bingo.

There was nothing left to do.

At the time, I thought I would die if I left, and it was a time when I actually died a lot.

A time when I was even deprived of the opportunity to do something else.

I’ve never done anything like a cube, and I’ve never had one.

After society stabilized, I became an adult… There was a reason why I couldn’t go to college.

From then on, well… I did my best to survive. It was also a time when I was preparing for the call of the tower while rolling in a company that did not sound like words.

Although I lost my confidence a bit.

“Isn’t it because you can break it?”

I know from experience.

Although the Tower gives ridiculously difficult tasks, it does not present impossible conditions.

There are rules in the sky garden.

You just have to find the answer according to the rules.

I think that was right.

“let’s go.”

“Geek.”

I was the one who acted when I was done with my judgment.

I’ve been like that until now, and thanks to that, I am who I am today.

took one more step forward.

There are still more red flower areas left.

– A

fire is burning and welcoming me.

as if it came well.

target? That is, of course, the center with the cube flower.

I don’t know the details, but I have information.

To clear the 55th floor, you have to break the Cube Flower.

Mobility is also restricted. Isn’t it the answer to approach as much as possible using possible variables?

Let’s widen our horizons.

You can go back.

Let’s move to a route that can get closer to the center.

It was said that a penalty would be imposed for breaking the rules, but what the penalty was was yet to be revealed.

There is a possibility of instant death the moment you break the rules with stupid words.

I didn’t want to take that risk.

“Is this the Sky Garden?”

“It is more peaceful than it looks.”

Behind me, I began to see people who had arrived in the Sky Garden.

Judging by his appearance, he seems to be a Northeast Asian.

I don’t know if it’s Chinese or Japanese.

Just one thing to know.

“rule? It’s going to be difficult. In the end, you can break it.”

There was a lack of vigilance.

That one person ran straight toward the Cube Flower.

The first thing he stepped on was the same Red Flower area as mine.

The guy rushed in without properly looking at the rules that popped up in the message window, and trampled on the flowers of different colors.

[Entered Blue Flower area.]

[Penalty applied.]

[Movement skill used.]

[Penalty applied.]

[Entered Green Flower area.] [

Penalty applied.]

It came to mind.

And…..

[Movement use penalty]

[All resistance skills are reduced by 70%.]

[Blue Flower Entry Penalty]

[Quick Cooling]

[Green Flower Entry Penalty]

[Extreme Poison]

-Quad Deuk!

– Chiiyiik!

For an instant, cold air poured from the blue flower zone around him, hardening his body, and deadly poison spewed out from the green flower zone, melting him.

Something that happened in an instant.

The dead guy was dyed white just as he stretched out his hand toward the center.

“does not make sense….!”

The group that came with him widened their eyes.

What can’t be said

If you rush at it blindly, you’ll end up like that.

Is it careless or is it because he is confident in his skills after reaching the 55th floor? Tsk.

As a result, it was not himself, but his pride.

That’s it.

I narrowed my eyes.

If I’m not mistaken, the equipment I had before dying melted as well.

I guess that’s how toxic it is.

The same goes for cold. By the time he was frozen before being poisoned, he was already dead.

The penalty is strong.

especially that one.

“I must absolutely avoid the movement restriction penalty.”

Resistance skills decrease by 70%.

Unless the resistance skill is insanely high, it will come as a critical hit.

Roughly speaking, my fire resistance skill is A-class, so it might drop to C-class or even D-class.

At that level…

“It must be difficult even to be here.”

Right now, the area I am stepping on is also burning.

It’s not as hot as the spray zone on the 52nd floor, but it’s still quite hot.

I surveyed the situation for a moment.

Even now, the number of people reaching the sky garden is increasing one after another.

Were there about 10 people gathered?

Licking and Nyanpun are still there.

Some moved with caution, while others read the rules and acted boldly.

I walked out too.

The first thing I stepped on was the red flower, because if you only step on the red square, there will be no problem.

Was it because it moved without hesitation? It wasn’t long before we reached the center.

chin.

I was able to burn my hand on the Cube Flower.

[Passed the Red Flower Zone.]

[The cube changes.]

-Cherryrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

.

It’s still mixed, but it looks a little changed.

[Reach route is activated!]

[Cube completion (1/6)]

-Red route (1/1)

-Blue route (0/1)

-Green route (0/1)

-Yellow route (0/1)

– White Route (0/1)

-Purple Route (0/1)

[Please set a nickname.]

Nickname?

“Evileye.”

[Cube Completion Contribution]

[You reached the Cube Flower first. Additional contribution is granted.]

-1st place. Was there a separate

Evil Eye contribution?

I didn’t know this.

[The Red Route is activated.]

[Only Evil Eye can move on the Red Route.]

-Freak!

The flames intensify with the message.

Exactly, only the route I walked has changed.

There wasn’t much damage to me, but it didn’t seem like it was to those around me.

“It’s so hot!”

“That’s a lot of firepower.”

He covers his face with his hands and frowns.

I don’t think I’m any different from before.

Did this mean that the route I walked was only available to me?

More than that…

“Things got messed up.”

“To that.”

I can no longer pass the side I walked on. What does that mean?

The remaining people have to reach the Cube Flower by using the place I didn’t walk.

The more people you reach, the fewer paths you can move.

In other words, the person who moves first is a much more advantageous game.

“What is it, have we gathered this much already?”

“We did all the hard work!”

Just in time, Lick and Nyanpun arrived.

About 10 people are already on the move.

Hurry up.

It’s because we’re the ones who suffered as Nyangfun said, but it’s unfair that other people eat it raw.

“Go the other way, not the red one!”

“I don’t know what it is, but okay I go with yellow.”

“Then I am purple!”

The two guys who heard my cry entered a field of flowers of different colors.

Do you have a good head? As soon as I saw the rules, I think I immediately figured out how to move.

Although others are similar.

The number of people who can reach the center is six at most.

It was a first-come-first-served basis, and no one here seemed willing to give up their chance to rise.

“Go away!”

“What a son of a bitch!”

That’s why it might have been a set procedure to attack a nearby Hunter.

simple idiom.

If you drop your competitor, the opportunity will come back to you.

The method is also easy.

[The purple flower area has been invaded.]

[Curses multiple penalties.

]

It was enough to push it away and make it step on another square.

The cursed one stumbles.

Then I stepped on another step.

[The white flower area has been invaded.]

[Penalty light disappears]

-Jiyuuuuuu!

He was killed by a rising beam of light.

What kind of judgment will those who watched it make?

“damn! You lose before you get hit.”

“If you touch me, everyone will die! okay?”

“You bastard, put down your sword. Are you going to try it!”

Anxiety turned to distrust, and greed gave birth to impulse.

Nowhere in the rules was there a law saying not to attack.

Was this intended in the first place?

Blood began to be sprinkled on the flower garden, and the flowers became more lively.

The flowers swayed with their petals wide open, as if asking for more blood.

-Hwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[The Cube Flower sprinkles pollen]

[Violence rises

]

Those who inhaled the pollen behaved more wildly.

Although I, right below the Cube Flower, also inhaled the powder.

[Mental Protection (AA) Lv. 9]

Thanks to Lick, I was able to survive with the increased mental protection.

If you lose your cool, it’s over.

Even those who came near the center lost their temper and turned to attack others.

The rules have long been forgotten in my head.

I left my area and ran through the flower field.

[A penalty is imposed.]

[A penalty is imposed.]

.

.

.

Numerous penalties overlap.

“Aaaaaagh!”

Retired as is.

More than half have already died in penalties.

Even now, as people continue to come up, the confusion will only grow.

The fortunate thing is.

“arrive!”

Nyangfun, who was protecting himself with all sorts of artifacts, safely touched the Cube Flower.

The same goes for licks.

“Oh, it hurts. Rotten bastards don’t know fair play. You have to follow the rules.”

great guy

According to information received through authority, the licking mental protection failed.

That he came this far with his own willpower, not skill.

Judging by the state of things, I don’t think I can do anything more.

[Cube Completion (3/6)]

-Red Route (1/1)

-Blue Route (0/1)

-Green Route (0/1)

-Yellow Route (1/1)

-White Route (0/1)

– Purple Route (1/1)

There are 3 completed routes so far.

[The green route is disabled.

] reached.”

One climber who survived somehow came in and completed up to four.

the cube is back

It’s now somewhat aligned, but it’s still lacking.

the bigger problem.

“The road is cut off.”

It means that the four of them crossed most of the scaffolding as they came to the center.

In other words, it is impossible to reach the center without invading other areas.

Those who newly climbed up to the sky garden went crazy and cut the road, and the road was cut off…

Although there is no such thing as a mess.

“Nyanpun.”

“ok?”

“Can you move?”

“Do you think it will be okay?”

If it’s me and Nyangpun, things will be different.

I can use the red route I’ve walked.

Nyan Fun takes the Purple Route.

There are two remaining routes, Blue and White.

“I’ll go the blue route, so you go white. Then I will wake up here.”

“Um… that’s right. okay!”

Catching my thoughts, Nyanfen nodded.

Go outside the garden again and head towards the center.

that was the way

“Aaaagh!”

– Kwaaaaang!

I ran while blowing away the guys who lost their reason in the powder.

After coming out of the flower field, I stepped on the Blue Flower Zone again.

[You have entered the Blue Flower area.]

[A penalty applies if you enter another area.]

“I know!”

I blew myself up as fast as possible.

People wielding weapons to attack me.

Skills flying indiscriminately pass through my head.

I don’t have time to deal with each of them.

You may be penalized for responding unnecessarily.

I ran past them as concisely as possible. While paralyzing it with an electric shock if necessary.

Although the road was cut in the middle.

[You have entered the Red Flower Zone.]

[You can use the Red Route.]

[No penalty occurs.]

You use the right to use the Red Route.

I was able to cross the red route without penalty.

[A blue route is created.]

[Cube completion (5/6)]

“Done!”

I was able to reach the Cube Flower safely.

Then, Nyan Fen also reached the Cube Flower.

-Charleureuk!

Cubes fit quickly.

Nyangpun and I watched it.

[The cube is complete.]

[Cube flowers can be broken.]

“Let’s finish it now.”

Gathered in the center, me and Nyangfun licking bridesmaids 1 put their hands on the stem of a cube flower.

– Kwajik!

As I pulled off the stem, the Cube Flower, which was standing upright, collapsed.

[Clear the 55th floor!]

[A portal is created.]

[The Cube Flower is broken.]

[The Sky Garden disappears.]

[The 1st ceiling is recreated.]

The portal with the explanation that everything is reset. this was created

The sky garden begins to crumble little by little.

“Ugh, but I’m going to first place.”

“Oh yes. Fight.”

Licker staggers through the portal.

I won’t give up first place with that spirit.

After the lick, an unknown bridesmaid passed.

“Thanks to you, I’m going smoothly!”

Nyangfun, who waved at me, also headed to the 56th floor.

is it my turn now

I have to go up, I’m going up.

[Cube Completion Contribution]

-1st place. Evileye

[You will receive a cube from the Sky Garden as a reward.] Let’s

take what is given and go.
