Stuck in The Tower

Episode 727: Insurance

Mulan Cassen was missed.

It’s unfortunate, but that doesn’t mean we didn’t gain anything.

‘I roughly know what abilities are used.’

The basic shape resembles a Valkyrie and is capable of aerial combat.

The wings themselves are excellent weapons and can move at high speeds comparable to instantaneous movement.

In addition, the attack reached a level that was impossible to block.

“Claymore is the biggest problem.”

The sword that came in with the outcome set went far beyond common sense.

Noble Knight, who was the best in terms of defense ability, repeatedly failed to defend himself.

The same applies even within Ophelia’s realm.

‘It was swordplay.’

Not the power of chaos, but the power of the original body itself.

I can’t even tell how high I’ve reached.

Can Alios destroy it?

As someone who succeeded him, I can tell.

‘If you fight 10 times, you lose 6 times.’

I think there would be that much of a difference if you looked at it purely as a battle with the sword.

It is true that Alios is strong, but the compatibility is not good.

Claymore was difficult to handle, but it was powerful and had a long reach.

In order to reduce the gap in innate military skills, there must be a significant difference in skill or other assistive devices are needed.

Things like skills and authority titles.

The problem is that she also has the power of chaos.

Of course, it’s not as frustrating as this.

I said this and that.

‘It’s not a big difference.’

The gap wasn’t so big that it couldn’t be captured.

Same thing this time too.

This happened because they met for the first time and Ophelia did not fully know the other person’s abilities.

I watched the video that Smilecap showed on the 97th floor, but seeing it with my own eyes and actually experiencing it are two completely different things.

If we get together again, it won’t be the same.

“How are your injuries?”

“You can recover if you have time.”

Not only Ophelia but also the Noble Knight was injured.

The equipment I was wearing was broken, but I’ll be okay since I have spare equipment.

“I’ll move first. “Join me when you recover.”

“Which way are you going?”

You have to think about it.

This guy is targeting a candidate.

The candidate Ophelia was with has died, so there are only four left.

I narrowed my eyes.

I don’t know where it will go.

Just expecting it.

‘The candidate is likened to a flame.’

The candidate Ophelia had with her was red.

What you said to me

‘Baekyeom is alive.’

White salt.

white flame.

I guessed what that meant.

Mulan Cassen was the only one who could be said to be alive.

‘Elini.’

The only candidate who did not disappear and remained despite being rejected.

A variable that has never existed before.

Heterogeneously different actions.

I knew it intuitively.

‘The last one is Elini.’

So far, Mulan Cassen has traveled all over the 98th floor and faced candidates.

Is Elini any different?

Unlike other candidates, he could kill anyone if he wanted to.

Because there are no climbers to protect her.

There are Macs and Marauders, but they are in front of Mulan Cassen, but they only have one mana.

then.

“Going to Smilecap. “Please go to the direction where the hair loss man is.”

Although the coalition people went to the Hair Loss Man, it was not enough.

The Magma Fairy and the four fire fighters, Nyangpun and Lick Jjak, are scheduled to join soon.

All that was left was the smile cap.

Even if I leave that, I think I’ll go there if it’s Mulan Cassen.

Haven’t we already fought twice?

From his perspective, he was also an old enemy.

At the same time, it may also be the subject of most concern.

30 minutes at first. The second battle lasted several hours.

So, how much can Smilecap, who is trying for the third time, fight against Mulan Cassen?

At least.

‘I’ll hold it until I arrive.’

That’s how it should be.

I plan to kill all the candidates and see the end before heading to Elini.

That was my intention.

-Tiring.

[Smile Cap]: He appeared again. I only killed the candidate and left

[Smile Cap]: Ah. This guy wasn’t the type to run away, but he hit right away and jumped out.

[Smile Cap]: Blue flame? Go there. First, I go to the direction where the Hwaseong ship is located.

“Already?”

“I don’t think there’s any need to go to Smilecap.”

In an instant, there was one less candidate.

How long has this been happening since I left here?

“What on earth did you do?”

I was shocked for a moment, but I was able to understand.

Smilecap initially used a strategy of discarding candidates.

Naturally, it was viewed as a means of calling out the fragments of chaos rather than protecting the candidate.

What was important to him was not the candidate but the battle with Mulan Cassen.

If you think about it, Noble Knight was like that too.

Because Ophelia’s safety was more important to them than the candidate.

“Whoa.”

I sighed softly.

It’s not bad.

Me too, but myself is more important than NPCs, and the outside world that I will always leave is more important than this world that I will eventually leave.

It is a one-time relationship.

In any case, the candidate dies when the battle begins.

Because ordinary people cannot handle the fight against the monster called Chaos Shard.

-Kud.

It felt strangely unpleasant, but it was something I had to accept.

Let’s focus.

The situation is changing all the time.

There is no need to be swayed like this.

“Ophelia, do me a favor.”

“Can you please do me a favor?”

Smilecap and Ophelia can now move freely.

There is no need to move separately.

Even at this moment, people with candidates are gathering.

The hair loss man and the people from the alliance met and are currently joined by Nyangpun and Lick Jjak.

[Smile Cap]: I’ll join Hwamu-seon

[Jiri-ri Fairy]: I’ve arrived!

Rookie groups and fairy clubs are also flocking there.

If so, the choice you have to make here is decided.

“We have to use this method to catch the fragments of chaos.”

There are some personal reasons involved.

However, it is a path and insurance towards strategy.

I gave the general plan and reasons.

Protect Elini heading south.

“…all right. I will do it no matter what. “We will deliver your location in real time.”

“Thank you.”

“I will hurry. “I don’t know how much it would have fallen.”

Noble Knight gave up his rest and began moving south.

Ofelia and Noble Knight have to recover from their injuries anyway.

Even if you use it with all your might right now, you won’t be able to use your original power.

So, it was good to move and join Elini’s group during the recovery time.

“Protect the candidate. “This is the core of this strategy.”

It is impossible to keep up with Mulan Cassen’s speed.

However, if there is a candidate, he will not leave.

For a head-to-head confrontation to take place, this condition had to be met.

[Mean Meow Punch]: We’re almost there! I’ll join the hair loss man in a little while

[Petit Gongdu]: Nyang fun! Meow fun! Hair loss man also has to protect the candidate unconditionally!

[Licking the top of his head]: I heard the story from Smilecap. They say they will leave as soon as the candidate dies?

[Hair loss on your head]: Huh? So don’t join me and stay around?

[Licking the top of his head]: That’s not bad either. If something goes wrong, there has to be another opportunity.

[Mean Meow Punch]: No, there is no room to distribute power. We have to come together when we do it

[Petit Gongdue]: Ophelia got through it too! It’s better to join forces

[licks the top of the head]: It would be better if both Smile Cap and Noble were pierced. Come quickly to the hair loss shelter

[Hair loss on your head]: Yes! Arrived now!

[Petit Gongdu]: I’m going soon too!

-Paaaaaaaa!

It flew towards the members.

‘There are two chances left before he goes to Elini.’

Let’s end there.

* * *

Vacant lot.

It was not an empty lot to begin with.

A space where all the trees and rocks that had grown in a relatively flat area have been pushed away.

The people there.

“Gongbleai is here!”

“I heard you fought together with Ophelia.”

“Oooh! Hyungniii! “Are you here? Greetings!”

“Wow! A battle with key members. moved. “I’m impressed again!”

The members and Sexy Guy were the last leaf.

thank god.

Mulan Cassen has not yet appeared.

Seeing as there wasn’t much to say on the other side, it looks like he didn’t appear.

It could be that he needed some time to move at high speed, or he could have been cautious after seeing the power gathered.

Considering his personality, I don’t think he would hesitate because he has many enemies.

I looked around for a moment.

I flinch. A candidate who flinches under my gaze.

“Voila! This is him. “Say hello.”

“evil! “Don’t hit me!”

The hair loss man pats the candidate on the back.

Seeing that he gets irritated right away, it doesn’t seem like he’s a good match for the hair loss man.

Or maybe puberty.

Unlike Elini, who was about 10 years old, the candidate with the hair loss man looked to be in his mid-teens.

Still, my personality is not dark.

It’s hard to stay sullen when you’re next to a bald man.

You may be a little tired, though.

“Ugh. hello.”

“uh. nice to meet.”

I quietly called Nyangfun.

“What candidate did you have?”

“It evaporated just like when I joined Lick Jjakjak.”

Evaporation.

When candidates meet each other, there is interference, and if that is not enough, one side is forced to disappear.

I’m not curious about the principle.

What matters is what makes it disappear.

Probably expected.

‘Isn’t it different depending on the relationship with the person protecting the candidate?’

Didn’t Mulan Cassen also say that?

Candidates are flames and each has a different color.

Ophelia and Smile Cap are red.

These are probably the ones with the lowest level of connections.

Because the two did not prioritize candidates.

‘Next is blue.’

It is expected to be the color of all candidates except Elini.

Compared to other candidates, these people have created a deeper relationship.

After seeing Hair Loss Man, I feel more confident.

He was very friendly and got along easily with other people.

That’s right.

‘Comparatively speaking, the kid that the hair loss man had was closer to him.’

When candidates meet each other, the ones with whom the relationship is relatively weak seem to disappear.

Although it is a meaningless speculation now.

There was one fortunate thing.

‘I won’t run away in the middle.’

To catch Mulan Cassen, you must have a candidate.

The moment you escape or make an unexpected move during the battle, he will head somewhere else.

This guy is not interested in those who broke up with the candidate.

“The operation is simple. “If a fight starts, you two will protect the candidate.”

“Yes brother!”

“But if it’s dangerous, can I take you with me and leave the place?”

I thought about the question of the last leaf for a moment.

Will it be okay?

“Uhm. “It seems better to evacuate than to run into trouble during battle.”

This is the opinion of a hair loss man.

In fact, we don’t know which one is the correct answer.

Only the fragments of chaos know the answer.

I nodded.

It is better than being caught up in battle and dying.

This concludes the operation.

“But is it okay if I don’t stick over there?”

Lick-Jjak asked.

Rather than splitting into two teams, it is also a good idea to gather everyone in one place.

That is correct.

Still, the reason why they are so separate.

“They will interfere with each other. If one side appears, it is not too late to join them then.”

It was okay for several people to gather together and fight against Erembatt.

This guy has launched a large-scale invasion.

On the other hand, Mulan Cassen moves alone.

However, it is not as big as a giant monster.

In the end, even if there are too many people, it just gets tangled up.

Especially if it is not even one team, but is divided into the Pejing Union Rookie Group Fairy Club.

Lickjjak shrugs his shoulders as if he understands.

“Where are you going?”

The hair loss man’s mutterings.

Does it answer that question?

-Wooow!

A signal has arrived.
