Level Up

The most valuable warehouse in Emperor Tower was a warehouse with no exit.

In order to get out of that space, I had to go back out to the center. And I had to get out using the central elevator.

Of course, security was the strongest. That's why we're storing important stuff.

The items stored in this warehouse were accessory artifacts.

In fact, the accessory type artifact was quite difficult to obtain. And it was hard to make.

Around 10% of the accessory artifacts stored here were manufactured by the artifact laboratory at Lexton Energy.

The success rate itself was quite low because artifact crafting could not be machined into a factory. Moreover, the success rate was almost bottomless due to the size of the accessories.

So even though the crafting artifacts gathered here were not enough, they came out hundreds of times after trying.

The price was huge because it was so hard to get and hard to make.

Even if I don't know, this warehouse will delay the opening of the Empire Tower for at least a few months.

There will be a financial impact, of course, but as long as you have the money wire for Lexton Energy, you'll be sorry to say it's a hit.

‘Things will be different later. ’

Hyun-seok mutters in his heart and approaches the warehouse. There was nothing more to be said.

I scoured the Emperor Tower thoroughly, but I couldn't find the unknown player.

There were a lot of fairly powerful players, but they were too small to call them unknown.

Honestly, the players won't be able to withstand a single Knight of the Arbor Knights.

Hyun-seok stood in front of the sub-space warehouse and thought for a moment about how to tear this out. Then you move your magic slowly.

Mayotte can't find rest in the ominous premonition of stabbing her entire body.

“Something's definitely going to happen. I've never been so sinister. ”

In the meantime, I've had a lot of bad feelings. Every time, I handled and prepared well to overcome the crisis.

But the ominous feeling this time was greater than anything Mayotte had ever experienced.

I thought that I might not be able to stop what's about to happen this time.

Mayotte focuses on her anxiety. I closed my eyes and focused so I could figure out where anxiety came from.

“Is it that way?”

Mayotte looks at one of the holes around her and ponders for a moment.

If someone's trespassing over there, we just have to block the entrance. If we block the entrance tight, there's no way out of there.

You can break the oyster if you want. It was worth the collateral damage if only we could catch the man who caused this great anxiety.

At least by Mayotte's standards.

Carlson may disagree, but what about what's already happened? ’

Mayotte listens to the radio.

“Gather around the center. I think I got it. ”

Mayotte gathered her colleagues first. If they are all gathered together, no matter how strong the enemy may be, it will be enough to stop them.

‘No one will be able to get through without Michael. ’

According to Mayotte, Michael is not human. It's the Lion of God, so it's no wonder you couldn't stop it. But not the one over there.

There are 15 strong people over 250 levels. Some of them are well over 250. They were almost 280 strong.

So no matter how strong the enemy was, he was confident this side would win.

‘If only one. ’

There could have been multiple enemies. However, Mayotte has a certain amount of weight on one side.

If it were multiple, it wouldn't have happened in any way. No matter how good at hiding and sneaking in, there's always room for more.

Soon, my colleagues started to gather. Even one came out of the target cave.

“Didn't you see something strange? ”

He shrugs at Mayotte's question. He recently set an incredible record of 283 in his level test.

Carlson said he would be at the highest level in the world, except for Michael.

Without even realizing it, the opposing Pokémon's skill is remarkable.

“What's the matter? Did the hunch tell you there was an enemy over there? ”

Most believed in Mayotte's senses, but some didn't. He was the one who didn't believe me.

So what I said was ridiculing, of course.

“I feel great. Maybe... it's not just him. Maybe it's not just a human intrusion, it's something else. ”

“Anything else? What?”

Despite the laughter that came to his mouth, Mayotte remained calm to the end.

Maintaining calm in any situation was also one of Mayotte's strengths.

“Someone may have planted the bomb. ”

“What? Puhahahaha! ”

He laughs as if it were absurd. Then I turned around and stared at the entrance of the cave.

“I'm sure there's no one there, but I'll get rid of them, so don't worry. ”

And the moment it was over, the alarm sounded like a lie.

Whoo-hoo!

The heavy bass fills the Emperor Tower. Even if you are blocking your ears, you can feel the bass all over your body.

It was also the alarm that was designed in the first place.

“You really set off the alarm? ”

The beep gives you an idea of what it sounded like.

Everyone looked at the cave that Mayotte just told you about. The alarm was triggered when there was a problem with the subspace warehouse.

“Everyone head to the entrance and get ready. ”

You nod at Mayotte's words. But one man, a man of level 283, shakes his head.

“I'll take care of it myself. Everyone's out there watching. ”

Mayotte stares at him with a stiff look.

“Are you going to break my word? Don't you know breaking my word is like breaking Michael's? ”

That said, the man laughed bloody.

“You're mistaken. You're not Michael. And I'm the world's greatest player. Whoever the enemy is, they don't lose. ”

It was because of what Carlson said a while ago. Mayotte did not continue to argue with him.

If it came out like that, it was enough to make a proper stage for it.

“Okay, then you deal with it yourself. Instead, go inside. ”

“What? Go inside? ”

“There are too many escape routes here. So we fight where there's no road. ”

“Not really.”

The man accepted it. No matter how well you fight, what do you do? If they run away, that's it.

Of course, it won't be easy to escape. But there's no way someone who came in here secretly won't get out.

There was nothing wrong with being careful in advance.

“Fine. I'll go in there and trample my muscles. ”

The man entered the cave with a proud look on his face. Then I walked forward with a loud voice.

I thought I might meet you in the middle of the oyster or as soon as I entered the space over there.

Mayotte looks around the rest of her colleagues and says,

“You'd better be prepared first. Gather as many other players as you can. And get me a guard with a gun. Get me a sniper. ”

Mayotte has a plan to shoot and shoot anyone out of here.

A comrade who doesn't listen to his commands is poisoned. It is better to deal with this opportunity without being hit by the enemy.

“Hurry!”

Mayotte yells nervously at the sudden increase in anxiety. The anxiety howls from the cave toward the Mayotte like a strong wind.

Players are in a hurry. and prepared the most powerful skills each of them had.

The guards point their guns at the entrance of the cave. And five snipers from afar are ready to take the shot.

Kwaw!

At that moment, something popped out of the cave with a loud bang.

Everyone fired their guns at it and fired their skills.

Voodoo!

Glug glug!

Swoop! Swoop!

Shh-shh-shh!

A splendid scene erupts in a row as skill unfolds. However, there were not many hits to something that came out of the cave.

I couldn't even shoot him because he was too fast.

“No!”

Mayotte exclaims in haste. He felt strange the first time something flew out of the cave. It wasn't unsettling at all.

It was the corpse of a colleague. I don't know if the dead body flew in or if it was just attacked, but it wasn't him.

And at that moment, enormous anxiety overwhelmed Mayotte.

Reflexively dodged the body.

Puck!

Mayotte looks at the hole in her shoulder and rolls the floor. If it weren't for that special feeling of his, this hole would have been punctured in his head.

“Ugh! Break the cave! ”

A guard who was secretly on standby presses the red button in Mayotte's hand.

Squeeze and squeeze!

A huge explosion has occurred in the cave. The cave collapses in an instant, and the dirt covered the square.

Mayotte sighs for a moment of relief as she looks at it. All the anxiety is gone.

“It's over.”

Everyone was relaxed by what he said. Mayotte seemed to be limping.

At that moment, I felt once more intense anxiety. Just about to scream, someone grabs him by the throat. The sound does not erupt.

Mayotte's eyes turn into a flashlight.

“That's a very annoying skill. ”

Mayotte senses her end and closes her eyes.

* * *

There were thousands of people standing in the dust-drenched square. They look around, checking to see if anyone was hurt.

And the collapsed oysters.

Now that cave is hard to pierce again. You'll probably have to go through the Grand Works to get through it again.

There were a lot of people who hadn't gotten out of there yet, but that was the only thing I could do.

I had no intention of returning the workers who worked here alive.

No one was hurt. There were only those who were stained with dust.

There was one missing person.

“Mayotte?”

The Mayotte is gone. Everyone's embarrassed that the man who's supposed to be in charge of all this is suddenly gone.

“Hey, there! ”

Mayotte was always there. Close your eyes and lie still.

A colleague approaches and checks on him.

“Dead.”

The cause of death was a heart attack, but not a single one of them believed he died of one.

“Did he get out? ”

“Then they're robbing the sub-space warehouse again somewhere. ”

Everyone gripped their teeth. This was humiliating. It can't be like this for someone other than Michael.

“This time, I'm going to catch it. ”

They've all sharpened their teeth. We just need to keep an eye on the elevators wherever they went. No, close the elevator for now. No one goes up there.

When they were moving east and west to catch that missing rock, Hyun-Seok was walking towards the deepest point of the Emperor Tower.

“It's nice to go without people. ”

Thanks to the commotion just now, there are very few people guarding this place.

I only saw the workers, but not so many.

It was almost finished here.

A stride deep inside found the invisibility dungeon.

[Path to Imperial Palace]

There was an entrance to the Imperial Palace.

I don't know if it's the real emperor or the only emperor left with a mind, but the emperor of the imperial palace plays his part faithfully.

There were two reasons to come to the Emperor Tower this time. Now that one of them is over, it was time to perform the remaining one.

The second goal was to meet the Emperor and show him Babel's token.

There may be no change. But it doesn't matter. This time, I think I can see things I've never seen before in the Imperial Palace.

“Then... can I give you one last gift before I go? ”

He smiled at the mouth of the stone.
