Lee Su-yeon said.

A month later, a year and a half later.

There will be three latrines in the future, and how to pass them safely is important.

There was an error for about a week, but this was the beginning of the first upheaval.

Dimensional Shop Integration

"The attack suppression system in the front dimension is greatly undermined.

The key to this change is these two.

It is a store integration with a weakening of the suppression system.

Going forward, the frequency or scale of cracks will rise exponentially, and challengers will be able to purchase tickets from integrated stores to other dimensions such as' fedomia ’and‘ taclan ’.

‘Is it time to enter the real competition? ’

If Lee Su-yeon flows the same as before she came back, soon she will start to be hunted down.

By other dimensional challengers.

‘Well, we're still exceptional. ’

It was all for this day that I went to Sheheranbard and brought the Star Guardian.

Unlike the other dimensions that must deter challengers, the Earth only needs to deter cracks like before.

It will be easier to prepare for the second upheaval that Lee Su-yeon warned us about.

However, Yoon-suk finished his thought about this.

‘First, let's focus on completing the mission safely. ’

Suddenly, this is the last mission in the tower. A mission that involves El, an important figure, with Rick, who was also a former student of Yoon-suk.

I had a hunch that if I didn't find out the secret of the incident 500 years ago, I wouldn't have a chance anymore.

Maybe that urgency is in my heart.

As I accelerated on my fast pace, I soon arrived at my first destination, Levon.

From then on, it was fourteen thousand.

“I have something to tell the chairman. ”

“What the hell! Identify yourself!”

The guards in charge of the Parliament were at first uncooperative, but they were persuaded to let Tyler know.

The chairman who met her didn't have to talk long because she had a face with El.

“I will bring word of this to every nation and prepare for battle. ”

News from the continent (?) While Levon, a neutral country, worked hard to do his job, Yoon-suk found James Hambledon.

It was El's request.

“I am Earl Hambledon. ”

As soon as I saw him, I felt a new feeling.

On the eighth floor, he was just three small merchants. He left home with an aspiration to work alone.

But a few years after that,

He has truly become the Earl of Levon.

Well, not as a merchant, but as a result of his success as a challenger.

“Hmmm. So, you wanted to see me? ”

Is it a place to make people?

Where did the young man go, and a middle-aged man with a mustache gracefully spread his voice.

Yoon-suk stepped aside so that the two of them could talk comfortably.

I wanted to see him again, but I had other business to attend to.

“El……. No, El...? ”

James' eyes open wide as he finds El.

Yoon-suk watched interesting.

What is the relationship between the two?

Looks like this isn't the last time we'll have a reunion...

“She's fine, just sing her like she's in a tower. ”

“Well, don't... Then why are you here? Did you fail to catch him? ”

“I take it you haven't heard from him. ”

El told James all about the news he gave to the chairman.

However, unlike the chairman who had heard the news and made a big announcement, there was no change in James' expression.

As if everything was a mistake of Yoon-suk, James expressed his condolences with an aggressive expression.

“I'm sorry they're dead, but I'm glad you came back alive. Really……. Kanna was worried a lot... ”

“Please don't talk about her. ”

“... I won't. ”

But maybe it's because I'm biased.

Somehow that feeling didn't seem genuine.

On the other hand, I could feel the warm gaze towards El as if it was true in any way.

What is it?

Unlike her heart of caring for El, she doesn't seem to be very happy or surprised that she came back alive.

I wonder why.

Yoon-suk insisted on biting and stretching the feeling of hypocrisy that felt for a moment. Then one thought struck me.

‘Did you know that the challengers would perish and that El would come back to life? ’

If this guess is right, then it's right front and back.

Then who could have told him this in advance? There was only one person who could do that without even thinking about it.

‘No way, was that it.... ’

Yoon-suk was flawed.

- After Rick Gersei, his acquaintances shared a few of his possessions. The Black ‘She’ with the power recovered, and the ring with the covenant was taken back by ‘Brother’ …….

- The seal of loyalty came back into the hands of a colleague.

It's still only a symptom, but Britzman mentioned James Hambledon as his‘ colleague ’.

I don't know what I'm doing to help him....

He gives Rick a hand without anyone noticing.

“But who was this...? ”

“He saved me there. ”

“You saved me...? There...? ”

Soon, James' gaze returned to Yoon-suk.

The eyes were filled with doubts and doubts, not gratitude.

It was only natural if this was a conjecture.

Normally, Rick would have saved El, but who's this guy who just showed up, and Rick's probably wondering how something's wrong.

Of course, it's just a hypothesis and there's no confirmation yet.

“Earl James Hambledon. I have one question for you. ”

“... Will you tell me? ”

Yoon-suk thought one last time before asking questions.

This question might have created another variable for the mission.

However, this had to be addressed.

“Why didn't you tell me the Monarch of Destruction was Rick Gersei?" ”

Why Rick had to hide his identity from El.

I was most curious from the beginning.

* * *

The bomb that Yoon-suk pulled out was heavily armed with silence.

“You're the murderer...? How could you……. No, how do you know his name? ”

El looks confused, and James Hambledon looks equally confused.

Yun Seok's reaction completely solidified the symptoms.

“W-what do you mean...? ”

“Literally. I won't ask why you're helping him. Instead, tell us why you had to hide it. ”

“Oh, no, I really don't know what this means……. ”

James Hambledon blurs his tail as he defiles himself. Somehow, El didn't say anything as if he was waiting for his answer.

“... Do you believe this man? You don't even know who you are. ”

“You just touched the back of your neck……. ”

“Back, back neck……? ”

“You didn't know? It's the Earl's custom to come out when you have something to hide. ”

“ ……. ”

James shudders silently.

And I was embarrassed that my voice didn't come out.

Yoon-suk kindly gave an answer to the phenomenon.

“If you try to lie, you won't be able to speak. ”

Yoon-suk had already activated the Enforcer's Eye and was staring into James' eyes.

“No way, is he serious? ”

“ ……. ”

“You really... Are you alive?”

“ ……. ”

I wonder if it's one-sided.

It doesn't matter to El whether Rick's a murderer or not.

It only matters if he's alive.

James sighs as he faces El's desperate gaze in front of him, and finally opens his mouth.

“... Yes, I'm alive. It is also true that the so-called" Monarch of Destruction "is Rick. ”

“ ……! ”

The wavelength of his words was enormous.

El, who was trembling through his body like lightning, barely got the center of it.

“B-but, uh, why.... ”

“Why didn't you tell me? It was his request.”

“You wanted me to? ”

James nods, and El clenches his hands tightly.

“Why on earth……. He asked for such a favor... Now you don't want anything to do with me? Because I'm always a burden? ”

“No way! ”

“But……. ”

“He was just afraid! ”

James' voice echoes through the room.

Then El was a little surprised and kept his mouth shut.

“... With her ruse, Rick only knew you were alive later. So I couldn't speak. Your colleagues were among those who killed her as she instructed! ”

It must be true that you were afraid.

In his most recent memory, Rick Gersei was actually feeling that way.

Suddenly, I thought,

- Really……. Are you sure this is okay? It's not too late now.

—... it's not too late.

Maybe that's when they were talking, right after he found out El was alive.

‘Tricks……. ’

Just hearing about James makes me feel like the queen is the enemy... Yoon-suk doesn't think that Rick was just exploited by her.

I just didn't reveal myself to El.

He continued to build an evil business in the name of the 'Monarch of Destruction’. Not by constraints, but by your own will.

What the hell was he up to? ’

Yoon-suk tried to unravel the questions that had been put into this opportunity.

I was just about to open my mouth.

“El, I'm sorry I can't tell you everything. If I have another life... ”

Yoon-suk's body reacted quickly to the unusual nuance and moved.

Arms and legs bound in a blink of an eye.

Even if I broke the law, I was confident that I would be able to revive it with the 'Light of Purification’ or ‘Shredder’.

It's just...

“I'll make amends then. ”

Kwaaaaang -!

No matter how much Yoon-seok burst, I couldn't connect the pieces of meat. Seeing the bodies scattered into hundreds of pieces, the stone became dazed.

than how this could have happened.

Why did it have to be like this, only questions like that were floating around in my head.

* * *

Go back five minutes and stop the suicide.

This option came to mind first, but Yoon-suk gave up.

I couldn't feel the magic move.

Just as I was riding, my body burst from the inside out. That is, even if we go back, we don't know if we can stop it.

And even if you're not James, if you continue on with your mission, you'll find yourself holding the answers to all these questions.

“… Oh, no. Why again... Why did you leave me all alone again.... ”

At James' fall, El begins to weep.

Though she was a reproduced being and knew James could not have died in the original history, it was somewhat heartbreaking to see her.

Yoon-suk looked at me with a phrase that popped up in front of his eyes.

Somehow the content of the special challenge was updated.

"Elizabeth Lorwen learned a great secret about the Monarch of Destruction. If she digs up all the secrets, another end may be waiting for her.

To date information collection rate 75/100.

There was no word to gather more information and pass it on to my colleagues.

He just wanted to know.

What Rick wanted, why so many people had to die.

“I won't even ask who you are. Please, help me. I'm begging you.”

How many days have passed since that day.

I can't get any more information on Rick, but the mission is a go.

"Group Mission (5/15).

I refused to participate in two of the countries I had heard from. Convince them to fight the final battle.

Go to them yourself and convince them to join the war.

"Group Mission (6/15).

You know that the forces of destruction are headed to the heart of the tower, not the continent of Seilanbard. Lead the detachment and find a way there.

I opened a portal directly to the heart of the tower in search of an ancient treasure that the Imperial Court had stored…….

"Group Mission (7/15).

"Identify and resolve the reasons why the dimensional switching and closing device is not working properly.

The portal is normalized through a small open portal, just the two of you.

"Group Mission (8/15).

The forces of destruction pierced a gap in the dimension and showed themselves here. Help the Soul Keeper protect the cemetery until the Dimensional Opening and Closing Machine is normalized.

I finally reached the part of the war Lee Su-yeon was talking about. Since Mission 8 is all about war, the mission will be over as soon as I finish this battle safely.

Lee Su-yeon, who went to Moorim with the thousand horses, said that mission number 7 will be over soon, so we will meet here soon.

‘I don't know about the people who went to Killian, but it won't be too late. ’

Yoon-suk turned his gaze to the man who was waiting for them.

A cemetery called the heart of the tower.

He was a similar manager I met here, helping me normalize the portal.

I heard about it from Lee Su-yeon, so I had no doubt that I received help....

What is this place where Rick and the Queen lead the army? Is this man who introduced himself as a Soul Keeper guarding this place?

“Isn't it spectacular? ”

Yoon-suk was flawed by a sudden man's question.

Minister? I don't know about that, but it seemed like the right place for the name "cemetery."

Only gray monuments were drawn on the barren ground that did not give up grass.

“What the hell is this place? ”

Yoon-suk asked without concealing his curiosity.

Of course, I only tried it once, but I didn't expect much.

In the meantime, this tower has no way of letting me cool down.

It will definitely be the same this time…….

“This is a resting place for the souls of all dimensions. ”

Unlike I expected, he replied gladly as if he was nothing.

One didn't make much sense.

“I built a tower here. ”

Now, what the hell are you talking about?
