The Origin of Species

We've killed over 500 monsters at the end of the chase. It seems like I've been hurting myself on the battlefield for a long time. Of course, most of the monsters were defeated by the clans and the enforcers, and I chose only the sneaky runners to turn back the clock.

“Hahaha. I'm going to die of hardship. Fuck.”

“Sunbae, don't cry, just harvest the life chain. We'll take what's ours. ”

“Phew. Yeah. Mister.”

The sailor walks towards the corpses of the raging monsters. We have a tremendous amount of refined stone in our hands, but nothing worse than this. Besides, everything we've dealt with is more than a class nine commander. If you give it to someone, they'll listen to your pleasants.Since it's a refined stone in the first grade or higher, I suggest you take it yourself. I don't know who's gonna fit in the other pocket.

Even though the world was in such a state, the demand for refinery remained. To prolong life, to increase longevity. However, the supply is declining rapidly, so the value of refinery is not compared to before.

The clans take out the lifechain with an impression. Of course, I had the same reaction.

“Clan leader, these ordinary people can't even pull out the life chain. ”

“Because of the poison? ”

“Yes. If we didn't have the shield, Lindsey would have taken it out. ”

These are liquid monsters with poison. Of course it contains bacteria and viruses. Brother Sinwoo kept silently collecting the life chain, and Lindsey was also exerting patience and collecting the life chain. Surin and the rest of the clan are doing their best to collect the life chain, with the shields on.

However, only one person was different.

“Hehehe. Hope is exciting! Pow, pow, pow! ”

He's grinning and grinning at the corpse of the monster. Is this where our education is wrong? Even monsters have to refrain from playing with corpses. I decided to educate Hope about common sense that ordinary people have, and I immediately folded it.

“Hope wants to fight again! I love fighting! I'm so excited!”

A girl smiling brightly. It contrasts too much with slaughtering monsters as it radiates its black light lifespan. Yeah, that's all you are. Let's not rush it. Hope is growing more like a stem than anyone else.

Ray approaches just in time. The black uniform adheres to the raindrops and the strangely well matched hair of damp silver hair.

“Expedition commander, let me report. 67 injured, 23 dead. Sixty of them are low-level executives, 30 are high-level executives. ”

“What about the treatment of the injured? ”

“It's over. We've mobilized all the power in the therapeutic family. ”

I was just wondering.

“How's the mood? ”

Ray suddenly smiled and said.

“It's not that bad. It was more of a battle than I thought. This is a lot less damage, isn't it? ”

“Well, thanks to the enforcers. ”

“No. It would have been a lot worse if it wasn't for you. because, frankly, the ninth floor is a much tougher place than we thought. ”

She clenches her fists and opens her mouth, thinking of the previous battle.

“We can fight our way to the commander, but we really have no answers from the general's rank. I can't even imagine a monster with a protective shield. ”

“I know. They say they never used a shield in the Great Deployment. ”

“Yes. We've never seen a creature use a protective shield on record. It may be missing as history goes on. ”

What difference does it make?

The six towers were built by ancient and divine men, and they were a group that wanted to protect the origin. Did those humans build a system called mass emission to kill origins? No. Greater emission was clearly a system designed to supply tablets. so that the origins can prolong their lifespan properly. So why don't you make the monsters outside the tower weaken?

On the other hand, the purpose of the monsters in the tower must be to protect this place. So even the same monster is much stronger.

Perhaps at the time of the great release, monsters are weakened by some force. Even monsters above the general's rank become idiots. That's how monsters are thrown to the ducks like food, right?

Ray bows his head.

“Thank you. Thank you for helping us. Now I understand that many of you can break through nine layers without us. ”

“What are you talking about? ”

“It's nothing. Just looking at your battles, it feels like we're nothing. Honestly, you can break through nine layers without us, right? The key was in your hands anyway, and it wouldn't have anything to do with abandoning us. ”

I understood what she said. So if we're going to Cederesis, why are we taking them? I was just preparing for the day after I got to Cederesis. That must have been the great reason for Ray's salvation.

“Ray, why aren't you guys anything? You guys have buff stacks, right? It was really good to have that. It's a whole new world.”

Rey shakes his head and replies with a familiar half-tone.

“But now efficiency. When the Supreme Executive receives a Buff Stack, there is a limit to how many Generals there are. Overwhelming one person in many ways was the key to buff overlap, but now there are so many powerful monsters · ·. ”

“That's why I yelled. Use it on us. Buff overlap. We're on the same side, so don't discriminate. Do you understand?”

She lowers her head slightly. I notice some distress. Suddenly, the essence that had been hidden from her mouth came out.

“I think he was competitive, to be honest. Enforcers are much better at fighting. I wanted to show it to everyone. That's why we only used Buff Overlap on our enforcers. I'm sorry, the first battle would have been a lot easier if I had buff stacks on the MT Clan members. ”

“Well, we'll blend in. Let's do it well.”

“Yes! I understand. ”

When Ray got back, Surin said.

“Sir, I have to rethink her. ”

“Yes?”

“Did you say Ray? I like being honest. ”

“Really? More than that, Prosecutor Kim. ”

“Yes, sir. ”

“Prosecutor Kim, why didn't you ask for buff overlap in the first battle? ”

Surin sweeps his head up.

“Why do I ask first? Pride. I didn't tell you, but at the time, she had a high nose. ”

That was her answer.

...

I've been on the ninth floor for over 10 hours now. Since the showers never ceased during that time, it was natural for people to become exhausted. Except Lindsey and hope, of course. The sailor squeezing the moisture from his head looks at Lindsey with envious eyes.

“Hey, you're good. You're in the best shape, right?”

“Not really. I'm not as tired as everyone else, but it doesn't make me feel good. It's gross. Really. ”

“But it's better than us. ”

“Is he the only one? ”

Lindsey's finger pointed to hope. He enjoys his first experience like he's been playing with water. The sailor who was looking at hope suddenly approached me.

“Mister, can't you build more of that shield? ”

“Why? You have a shield. ”

“You've got to be kidding me. Dude, you know you can't keep it up, right? My brain is overloaded. It's hard to imagine. ”

“Then it has to be raining. I don't know how to make a big shield. ”

Unfortunately for her, what I said was true. Again, the shield is a kind of power. Power is expressed by imagination, and maintaining it was harder than I thought. At least I kept the shield on, because it was so much better for me than it was for the rain. It was so much easier to imagine keeping the shield than it was in the rain. My brain seems to be getting a little different from everyone else's.

You hear Dion's voice on the radio.

[Are you there? I'm Dion.]

“Go ahead.”

[I called for a break. We've been marching for 10 hours. Looks like we're gonna have to set up some serious camping grounds.]

Then the voice of the dragon is heard on the radio.

[The question is, isn't it raining constantly? And with the water running down to your ankles, how do you plan on building it? This is why I can't sleep until I get to Senderesis.]

[This is the box for the return guild. We're imagining how to find our own way.]

“How? ”

[Why, isn't there a transparent membrane inside the creature's body?]

Obviously, the outside of some liquid monster was surrounded by a transparent membrane.

[We're using that membrane to create friendships and dragonflies. Well, there are a lot of skilled craftsmen in our guild. Haha.]

Dion urgently asked what he had to say.

Khan, is there anything left?]

[Sorry, Dion. They weren't finished yet either. And it didn't solve the fatal flaw.]

[Fatal drawbacks?]

[Yes, there's water on the floor, so it's inevitable that water will flow over time.]

[We'll figure it out. Let us join forces. The power of Byronga and the Scientist should be enough to atone for their weaknesses.]

The dragon intervened.

[We provide the manpower.]

Others work together to solve the problem. The expedition was merging gradually with each other. However, the supply will take a long time to return to all of them. The look on the lower enforcers' faces, gathered in one corner, was a puppy in the rain.

Whether they were worried about their reactions, the foreman next to them whispered to me.

“They must be really struggling. I'm not kidding about the pain. Your feet will get saltwater and fermented. Mister.”

The problem is that not only them, but the clan members are getting tired. Although it may not be as tiring as maintaining the shield, this is also annoying. Moreover, considering Xian, Payne's child, and Iran who is pregnant, there was a solution.

By the way, Iran has been activating the protective shield for a while now, risking the overload of his brain.

I suddenly saw my younger brother. His gaze was also on me.

“Clan leader, this is my sacrifice. ”

“Are you sure about this?”

“Well, it's not a 24-hour break. About six hours. Let's just say we're training. ”

He glanced up at the ceiling and terribly shined his eyes. At that moment, the water that was lying on the ground is pushed out into the outer corners, drawing a circular wave. The raindrops falling from the ceiling stopped like lies. Do you feel like Poseidon is coming if you have a God?

The enforcers who saw it opened their mouths. A radius of over 200 meters has dried up.

“Wow, you're crazy. Really.”

“But I don't think it's going to be easy to get in here. ”

“But still, where is this? We need to rest alternately.”

They whispered to each other and enjoyed the feeling of the ground without water. I told them about the supplies, and I didn't forget to tell them to hang on a little longer. After all, they have to survive like the bad guys to be able to help a little later.

I also talked to Shinwoo's brother about the proper reward.

“Bro, you have six hours to delay and change your status. When the battle takes place, go to the Battery and rest for six hours. I'll let you know if I need you. ”

“The Battery? I'd appreciate that. I'm having a hard time keeping a radius like this. ”

It seems that as the Tower is in such an environment, we need to operate our troops more resiliently. When I think about it a little, I definitely think of good ways. I must say, Sohee's powers are enormous.

I discussed it with Ray and reorganized my troops. A kind of sequential move that alternates rock towers and rock towers. The number of people that Sohee could pull out at once was limited, so she organized the right number of people into one unit.

Subsequently, the progress of the ninth layer became easier as supplies came in. But it wasn't just comfort.

“Prosecutor Kim, it's been three days since we fought, right? ”

“Yes.”

“Hmm, that's odd. ”

“Sir, is it because the monster isn't coming? ”

“Yes. This should keep coming up. · · · I started with a monster scout, and I thought of all kinds of suicide attacks. ”

At least it used to be in the tower. How hard did we suffer from rigorous reconnaissance and fearless suicide attacks? But I can't see anything here except the first monsters, so I'm sure it's strange.

And here's the weird thing. I wasn't the only one who felt it.

“Sir, why do you think we keep walking around like this? If we keep seeing the width narrow, we'll find another way. ”

“Hey, did you do that too? I've been doing it for a while. ”

“You, too? ”

When I asked, she narrowed her eyes.

“Yes, sir. I feel so annoyed. And it's getting narrower and narrower like a tower. ”

If the crew's in a bad mood, it means there's something real. At this moment, the herbivores' senses were informing us of new dangers. And the danger was so subtle that the forerunner couldn't be sure.

Suddenly, the front stops and turns its head to the left and to the right. The wall is where she looked. Like all places, there were colorful plants that grew to the ceiling. Seeing that, I grabbed my collar as if Lindsey was afraid.

“Sir, I think the plants have been coming towards us for a while now. ”

It was then that the sailor made an impression. She looks straight at Surin.

“Prosecutor, let's use your powers. ”

“On the wall?”

“Yes.”

Surin also felt the seriousness of the situation and hurled the spear of the wind straight at the wall.

Boom!!

Liquid of fruit from plants. Other than that, there was no reaction. However, the mouth of the foreman protrudes from the main insult.

“Shit, we're screwed. All the plants on your wall are monsters. Wow, why didn't I know this? Oh, that sucks. I really cared! ”

“Hey, is that a problem? He won't budge even if we talk like this. Are you sure it's a monster? You just got hit by my powers, and everything's fine. ”

“Prosecutor! I'm sure. They're acting. That's a real monster. ”

Along with her words, the clan members and the enforcers spread their attacks on the walls. Nevertheless, the wall only burst out liquid and there was no reaction. At this point, it looks closer to the wall than a monster. But I bit my tongue quietly.

These bastards are suicidal. They don't hurt anyone.
