Stuck in The Tower

Episode 742 Disappeared

Common sense tells us that there is no way a woman and a cabin would appear without any sign.

It was natural to be suspicious and be cautious.

“Of course.”

“There aren’t many outsiders in a remote place like this. The same goes for inns.”

I obediently followed her to the cabin.

My body was already exhausted from the battle.

It’s okay to fight once before going to bed.

‘Still, it’s better to sleep in a house with a roof than to be homeless.’

I was thinking of sleeping comfortably.

I don’t know if I will be the landlord or not.

As long as we don’t attack each other, things will end well for each other.

furthermore.

[The SSS level power, Eye that Watches the Stars, is exercised.]

-Tsuzuzuzu.

[Pinae]

– NPC on the 99th floor.

-I’m happy to meet someone I haven’t seen in a long time.

– Favorable!

-(The information is unreadable due to confusion.)

First of all, it is favorable to me.

I couldn’t read the details, but that was enough.

The information is contaminated.

‘There is a high possibility that it is a strange entity.’

Does it become something strange from the moment it is contaminated?

It is not clear whether it becomes a strange entity after the information is destroyed like the exploration team.

-Kkii.

“Come on in. “If I had known guests would come, I would have at least cleaned.”

“It’s clean, so what? thank you The name?”

“It’s Pinae.”

“It’s called Evil Eye.”

Without showing any signs of it, I entered the cabin.

These were not empty words.

Because the inside was clean.

Wooden table and chairs.

A fireplace and traces of time remain, but comfortable decorations.

Contrary to what it looked like on the outside, it was quite spacious.

‘Wasn’t there a second floor?’

From the outside, it looked like a one-story cabin, but once inside, there were stairs going up.

Is there at least an attic?

Or maybe it’s connected to the roof.

“You must be hungry. Please eat this.”

“Yes, I will eat well….”

It is not something to eat.

Because what she brought were rocks, grass, and pieces of wood.

In the meantime, I put it nicely on a plate, as if I wanted to plate it.

“I’m glad there’s still a car left.”

Next, a teacup was brought in, but there was only hot water inside.

Of course not a car. It’s just plain water.

There was no time to boil water.

“Eat first. “The owner of the house has to eat first.”

“You don’t have to do that. Enjoy your meal.”

With a grin, she picks up a rock and pretends to eat it.

I also brought a piece of wood to my mouth and pretended to mumble.

-widely.

At that moment, a wise blow came.

It’s not like playing house. What is this?

When I put the piece of wood down on the table, Pinae’s eyes widen.

Shaking eyes.

He seems a little scared.

Various emotions were mixed in the transparent eyes, and although they were not revealed, some of them were dangerous.

Either that or not.

I need to eat proper food.

When I looked, there were no ingredients, but the kitchen was in place.

“Since you invited me, I will cook.”

“yes?”

“Let me borrow the kitchen.”

Before she could say anything, ingredients were taken out from subspace.

I was already familiar with cooking.

-Tadadadang.

-Chiiik.

In an instant, the prepared ingredients go into the frying pan and pot.

Maybe it was because it was a cabin, but I wanted stew.

Stew is a dish that takes a long time to cook.

‘It has nothing to do with me.’

Not only is it not a common ingredient, but I have S-level cooking skills.

I’m thinking of grilling some sausages and vegetables.

Meat is easy to obtain through slaughter, but vegetables are surprisingly difficult to obtain.

“Wow.”

As if I was already hooked, I started looking at Pinado next to it, and about 20 minutes had passed.

“Let’s eat.”

The table was set out with a thickly cooked stew and properly cooked sausages.

Is it because the taste is guaranteed thanks to the skill?

Recently, decorating dishes has become fun.

Not only the color but also the sauce was used as decoration.

“…I’ve never seen anything like this before.”

“You did a lot, so if it’s not enough, eat more.”

Slurp.

As I ate the stew with a spoon, she ate along with me.

“It’s delicious. “It’s warm.”

For some reason, the corners of my eyes were wet, but I didn’t bother to ask.

He was smiling wider than the smile he showed earlier.

The point at which the meal is somewhat finished.

“Let’s have a drink. “I have some alcohol that I was saving.”

Pinae, who seemed to be in a very good mood, went up to the second floor and brought a large bottle of alcohol.

-Squeak.

A fragrant scent that spreads as soon as you pour it into a glass.

Even though I don’t know much about alcohol, I know that it’s a pretty good drink.

Fairy bee wine given to NPC Hegrick, who previously taught me cooking skills.

Blue Dragon’s Tears provided while cooking at the Hell Dying Kitchen gathering.

Even compared to those, it wasn’t any better.

“Can you keep me company?”

“Of course.”

We talked under the light of the gently burning fireplace.

Is it because I’m drunk?

I felt like my mind was blurring.

Would it be possible for me, a superhuman, to get drunk?

It was strange, but there was no time to ask such questions at the time.

“…good night. “I hope you have a nice dream.”

Unlike the expedition team we first met, we lost consciousness after saying words of blessing and support.

* * *

“Ugh!”

“Huh?”

I came to my senses.

I couldn’t remember the latter part clearly, but I clearly remembered falling asleep in the house of an unknown NPC.

Normally this wouldn’t happen, but yesterday I felt inexplicably comfortable.

I was so drunk that I wasn’t even drunk and fell asleep without any particular warning.

Thinking about it now, it was heartbreaking.

“hmm? what. “Why do I feel so refreshed?”

Aside from being very nervous, I was in good condition.

The fatigue accumulated from frequent battles has completely disappeared.

Rather, it is full of power.

It’s already morning.

The hut where I slept was nowhere to be seen and Pinae had also disappeared.

Was I possessed by something?

By the time I had that question.

[Intermediate Mysterious Cozy Night Hut disappears by itself.]

[Pinae’s blessing is upon you!]

-A hut that allows those who fall asleep on the second floor to sleep forever.

-You fell into a comfortable sleep on the first floor.

-All stats are permanently increased!

-Fatigue, debuffs and all negative factors disappear!

-(Additional Information) The concept of pinae is sleep.

Notifications popped up one after another.

indeed.

“It was a strange body after all.”

I thought it might be true, but I never thought it was real.

What’s even more surprising is that.

“It turns out that being a monster doesn’t always have bad parts.”

It is the most powerful blessing I have ever received.

Perhaps because he was friendly to me, the information was detailed.

Maybe it’s because it’s a mid-level monster.

If you think about it this way.

‘What was the concept the exploration team had? Exploration? discovery?’

I think it’s something like that.

Because they definitely found the strange body.

I don’t know if they came out because I went to the place where the strange thing was, or if the strange thing came out because they went there.

anyway.

“It’s not easy to see intermediate monsters.”

Good things are good things, and we had to be alert.

It was a shame because the results were good, but forcing someone to sleep was not something to be taken lightly.

It even applied to me.

It’s only natural that chaos would react.

‘Did I stay still because it was beneficial to me?’

Or because I didn’t notice?

I couldn’t give a definite answer because I didn’t know what mechanism the strange entity’s supernatural powers used.

however.

“This.”

A bottle of alcohol sits next to me.

This is the drink I drank with Pinae.

I clearly remember drinking more than half of it, but it was brand new and the lid had not even been opened.

[Scent of the Night (SSS)]

– It is a mysterious drink that does not exist in the world!

-If you drink it, you will fall into a restful sleep!

-Pinae’s blessing may come.

wow.

I was impressed without even realizing it.

“It’s more than an elixir.”

It’s a drink that can receive Pinae’s blessing.

Elixir only raises a few stats, but this one raises all stats.

It can be considered the highest among elixirs.

Just as I was preparing to leave after taking my precious drink with me.

“wait for a sec. All stats?”

One thought passed by.

“So does that mean the luck stat has also increased?”

If you think about it, isn’t the luck stat also a stat?

Although it is a hidden stat that does not appear in the stat window.

Was the prediction correct?

[Luck gets stronger!]

The system recognized that fact.

My luck stat hasn’t increased these days, but this is an unexpected income.

Previously, the luck stat was raised using the title of strategist.

‘It’s a bit like that now.’

This is because I stopped working as Petit Gongdue in the community as I entered the final half of the tower.

If you post a strategy when there are only a few people, won’t your identity be revealed quickly?

“Him?”

“Shh, Deokchun. “There are some things you shouldn’t touch.”

“Yeah yeah.”

Deokchun tilted his head to see what was going on, but he ignored it.

surely.

I have to take action in my own way.

I need to go out and make a separate petit conduu to set up.

The members have already sold their faces so it doesn’t work.

‘If I put a wig on Mangu, would he be fooled?’

Could it be possible?

done.

Now is not the time to get distracted by things like this.

You must clear the 99th floor and enter the 100th floor.

Needless to say, the goal is the king of worshippers.

To head towards him.

“It means we have to break through these things.”

It won’t be easy.

So we need help from those who have been working here for a long time.

Exploration team.

Ophelia.

I had to find out where they were.

-Oooooh!

[God Bless]: Contact with the exploration team has been completed. Follow the light.

Ophelia sent a signal to see if he had been quiet all this time.

A pillar of light soaring into the air.

I was confident in the familiar waves of divine power.

Ophelia is over there.

* * *

On the 99th floor, a group of people were moving quickly in an area where desertification was in progress.

-Quwaaaaaa!

A sandworm breaking through the ground and struggling.

The NPCs here did not pose much of a threat, but if the concepts were mixed, the story would be different.

“Whack-a-mole! Hit it quickly!”

“Hit it before you go in!”

A being called whack-a-mole.

If you don’t catch the target number within a certain amount of time, the area becomes a base for them.

From that moment on, the area must be abandoned.

Even if you kill and kill, an infinite number of sandworms appear from the ground.

It is even contaminated with chaos and has abilities far exceeding the level of ordinary monsters.

“Damn it’s late!”

“I said it should have been burned!”

“You have to have a scar to heal. What can you do by just burning the outside?”

It took time to even catch one.

The timer floating in the air quickly decreases.

[08:33]

About 8 minutes remaining.

The target amount of sandworms to catch is:

[29/40]

There are still 29 left.

More than 1/3 of the allotted 30 minutes had passed.

Myler, the leader of Exploration Team 4, wrinkled his face.

‘If this continues, it will be late!’

Although they were fighting endlessly, the NPC’s area was steadily shrinking.

There is only one entity that steals territory.

Bedrock Bealuze.

The King of Worshipers and the Shard of Chaos who returned to the Tower.

Although they were aggressively attacking, they were an exploration team and the exploration team specialized in observation and maneuver.

In order to respond to unexpected situations, the exploration team also includes members specialized in combat.

“It’s not a good match.”

I couldn’t solve everything alone.

Even though we fought hard, there is still a lot to grasp.

That’s why a processing team is needed.

[03:42]

Less than 4 minutes left, but there are 22 sandworms to kill.

That timing.

-Shuaaaaaaa!

A doll participated in the battlefield.

“come!”

“It’s double-eared Kellen!”

A sword in both hands.

The triangular emblem representing the processing unit was hanging from the cloak and shaking.

[Slaughter (SSS) Lv.MAX]

As his sword danced, blood rose.

The sandworms died quickly, but the time was also shortened.

“last!”

-Chaaaaaaaa!

[00/40]

[00:02]

[The low-level monster whack-a-mole disappears.]

I was able to kill them by a narrow margin.

Everyone cheered for a moment.

“I missed it.”

The exploration team member who was observing the king of worship even among the rampaging sandworms opened his mouth heavily.

Whack-a-mole is about covering your eyes.

[Bedrock Vaaluze escapes observation.]

[The coordinates of his existence become unclear due to conceptual uncertainty.]

Bedrock Vaaluze, a monster whose appearance is unknown when and where unless continued observation, has disappeared.
