Instant Death

The tower was confused.

To be precise, the artificial spirits who presided over the preservation of the junction wandered in front of the impossible.

At first it was a division of the soul path.

The tower collects energy called Seoul and Spirit and uses it to maintain the bond. Those energies run around the inside of the tower, shaping complex paths.

Part of it broke. The node (hub) suddenly stopped functioning, connecting multiple paths.

It was impossible.

It's a particularly sturdy place with little chance of breaking, and even if it does, self-repair should start soon, but its nodes have stopped passing through anything.

Of course, no demon god will be resurrected to this extent. The kingdom is the last fortress to protect mankind. There were several safety measures in place, and this incident was inexplicable, but a detour route was immediately set up to obtain nothing.

But nothing happened at all.

There was a swing in the First Connection that covered the perimeter of the tower.

That is a moment, but I cannot say enough that no one has captured that moment.

There are wicked people in the world who worship demons and family members of demons who roam the world to revive demons. There would be little chance that they would have noticed.

But the problem outside the boundaries is outside the jurisdiction of the tower. Because the tower only thinks about keeping the bond, and as long as the bond is safe, it doesn't care about anything else.

The tower soon returned to normal operation, but some time later, even once again, it was noticed that dysfunction was occurring.

It was the opening and closing mechanism of the door.

A mechanism that is not directly related to the juncture, it is only using surplus energy, but it should not have broken so easily either.

The door, the trap, the trick, stops one after the other.

The tower explored the cause and it was quickly found.

Two men and two women. When the man or woman approaches, part of the tower stops functioning. It was easy to analogize that those two were involved in a mysterious dysfunction.

The tower tried to kill those two. Then some of the artificial spirits stopped functioning.

And confused.

The tower no longer knew what it was trying to do.

The tower starts self-diagnosis again and learns about the anomalies in the tower. Two men and women realize it's the cause, try to deal with it, and fall into chaos again.

The tower was slowly stopping functioning.

"You know, maybe he's just over-conscious, but isn't he after me all the time?

Chichika said as she looked down at the man wearing the face of the wax.

Falling in front of the Chichikas is a man approaching with a licking attitude while wearing an inferior dialogue, now unspeakable.

"I think you're right. These guys say the second thing about leaving a woman behind."

This is the third floor of the tower. Perhaps on the way to the second floor, several people have fallen before and after the two of them. This degree was already a natural landscape.

"That's right...! Why are these people trying to kill Kensei?"

"It doesn't mean you have to be a saint prince because you are a sword saint. Japan also called or named Kensei, but it was an approximate object."

The extent to which we can act each time we go down the floor is narrower, making it easier for candidates to encounter each other. And Chichika and the others were frequently attacked.

Between those who aspire to Kensei, each other's strength is unknown. You don't know what you have if you fight. You can be a little more cautious, but the candidate who finds the Chichikas will be happy to fight for some reason.

And the night fog was killing the ones who attacked without leaving.

I'm trying to talk, and if I can dodge a fight with that, I guess I'm not going to kill you.

But in the end, it's like a corpse.

It was because this guy always called me from the beginning with a licking attitude, and he wouldn't listen to me much.

"These guys, I bet you believe in the stat guy."

"Well, you don't have to have a status or anything to make us look that strong."

"But if you have a thinking head, it's normal to think there's something about a guy who's survived this far. So in the end, you're an idiot, these guys."

"You have no body or lid. But it's also true that he's dying from a man without imagination."

"So, what are you asking me about this? Am I, like, that attractive or do I feel like I want to attack you?

It was something I had always wondered about, so Chichika asked. Ever since I came to this world, I've felt like I was being targeted for every single thing.

"Oh, as that objective fact, huh? Look, there's going to be some future. I don't know if it's that big of a deal about me, but if there's a deviation in that perception, I don't know what the problem is. Well, maybe someone's just saying something crazy about being made to kill each other in here or something."

Chichika had heard stories about animals kept in extreme conditions waking up to the preservation instincts of the species. I didn't think I was attractive, but I thought it was such an unacceptable circumstance.

"Yeah. It's fascinating, and it's cute. The style is good, and I know what it's like to be a man who wants to attack you."

"Nah!"

Chichika solidified after being told directly from the front without any scratch.

Night fog stared wonderfully at Chichika's reaction.

"Don't worry, I won't attack you. Asaka-san tells me you can't force yourself."

"Does that mean if you agree?

"No element of hesitation in that case?

"Oh, man... Oh, but! The other day, I felt like I was being pushed down and nodded in the chest when I was attacked by a wise man in the city!

"That's force majeure, and if that happens by chance, the situation is a style I'm going to enjoy"

"Very positive instead of what you're doing!?"

"Uhm. You've never seen a guy so positive about Lucky Skebe."

Also this one put his arms together in the universe and looked oddly impressed.

"And I am also impressed with my descendants trying to start a love comeback development in such circumstances as this corpse accumulation. I've gotten thicker."

"And let's just go first!

The troubled Chichika began to walk down the aisle avoiding the body.

Night fog also catches up quickly and lines up next door. Again, this aisle seemed right, and after a while I went, I saw a big door.

If you open the door, as before, there is a staircase, and the two go down without getting lost.

When I opened the door to the second floor, it was a small room inside. Both of us are in a small room with an exit-like door just across the street.

'Congratulations on reaching the second floor. You are the fifty-fifth and fifty-sixth arrivals.'

I just walked into the room and I heard a woman from nowhere.

'In the future, candidates will be managed with the number you just called, so please remember'

It seems that the night mist that went into the room first was number 55 and Chichika was number 56.

"I was going to go a long way, but some of you are pretty far ahead of me."

"Well, you slept relaxed."

'From here on forward it will be on a point basis. You'll need a hundred points to open the door to the ground floor.'

"Huh? You've come this far, and now you're on a point basis."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

'Shut up!

Someone seemed to be dealing with it in real time, not like a recording.

'Fair enough. From here on out, if you kill someone with a point, you can take that point. So, that's it, what was the trial so far! so we are supposed to give initial points by evaluating our actions so far. Fifty-five, zero points! Fifty-six, zero points! Is that it?'

I don't know what you're evaluating, but you're forcing yourself through all the trials, so it wouldn't be surprising to be told you're unappreciable.

'Er... I feel something's wrong, 0 points is 0 points!

"I don't care."

Whatever it is, it doesn't change what night fog does. It's just going down the tower killing all the obstacles.

Open the exit door. The passage was divided in three directions, left and right and forward.

I don't have a low-tier map, and none of the aisles change in width in particular. I don't have a clue which way to go, but the night fog started going down the aisle directly in front of me.

Chichika knew.

It was a hassle choosing the road, so the night fog just walked forward.
