‘An item that can buy time is really something to be envied.’

I had that realization all over again.

It was even more so because I usually didn’t covet anything.

Strictly speaking, time was more valuable than any other commodity, and it would naturally be good if given more. What about being able to modify the life I had already lived?

Suzy stared at for a moment, lost in thought.

“You can do whatever you want.”

As if reading her mind, Elaine spoke as if she had read her mind.

Suzy turned her head and looked at the other team members one by one.

Elaine nodded, and Saint and Peace looked thoughtful for a moment, but soon raised their left hands and waved them in the air. It was a signal to follow the team leader’s decision.

Suzy tried to calm her mind as much as possible and asked back.

“Can I use this whenever?”

The mouth on the guy’s chin opened and a strange voice answered.

“No way. Right now, this moment only exists. 〈Deviation〉 is the reason for my existence, my heart. It comes with me, and it goes with me.”

Suji slowly glared at the guy.

Fortunately, even if I turn back time as much as 〈Deviation〉 allows, I can’t save my mother.

If the time had been a little longer, I would have really wavered.

Even if it cost me my colleagues’ memories, I would have lived once more.

The shame that made my cheeks burn came belatedly.

I came to meet this guy because he said I had to defeat him to kill the ‘Messiah.’ It was partly to avenge my mother, but my ultimate goal was to prevent the extinction of humanity.

My goal wasn’t to receive items like a good deed before I could even defeat him.

That’s why I was going to protect my current teammates and myself.

I needed them as they were in my memories.

I brought my teammates here by force with that promise from the beginning, so what was I going to do if she wavered first?

‘Come to your senses.’

Suzy tapped my cheek with both hands.

‘Honestly… … I don’t want this hell anymore. I don’t want to live another life. I’ve lived my best life. How much more can I do? Let’s stop investing in possibilities. Nothing will work if I get tired. I told you that I’ve already failed by doing that, Suzy.’

She slammed the table aside with a thud.

The table was cut like soft tofu because she had used too many penetration characteristics. The feather-shaped necklace rolled on the floor.

[νόμος is interested in your actions.]

[απόγευμα is interested in your actions.]

[Νύμφη is interested in your actions.]

[Κάστωρ is interested in your actions.] [σκιά is saddened by your actions.] [Μουσα is interested in your actions.] The logs going up to one side of my vision suddenly irritated me. Every single one of them. They were all annoying. This one, that one. Watching the human’s reactions, testing them. Soo-

ji adjusted her grip on her sword and shouted. “Stop talking about 〈deviation〉. There’s no need for it.” The guy’s red eyes rolled around in confusion at her firm words. Soo-ji looked back at each of her team members and spoke intelligently. “What do you mean, ‘not needed’?” “No need. Get rid of it, because we’re not going to use it.” Three mouths opened at the same time. From Ball’s mouth came his mother’s voice, from Forehead’s mouth came laughter, and from Chin’s mouth came the monster’s voice. “So I’m satisfied with completing my mission.” “Hahaha. Hahahaha.” “… … Gulp, you’re a cheeky human. Then die here.” Tiring! [Congratulations. The victory condition for 〈Deviation〉 has been met.] With that message window, the arm of the guy holding the longest scythe suddenly fell to the ground. Suji and Peace hurriedly moved their positions to avoid the arm bones that were several times longer than a human’s body. Boom! The second arm, the longest of the remaining ones, fell from the elbow to the fingers. Boom! Boom! The third arm. The fourth arm. It was only after a while that I realized exactly what was happening, as the sand dust was flying around in the dungeon. The guy who had been supporting his body had cracks all over his bones and was disintegrating.

“… … What is this?”

It seemed that Suzy wasn’t the only one who was surprised.

Elaine also stared blankly in front of her, as if she hadn’t expected such a sight, and Peace and Saint were still watching their surroundings without letting their guard down, as if they thought there was a next phase that Elaine hadn’t expected. As

the hood was completely pulled back, several mouths that had filled the back of the head each murmured different sounds.

Thump, thump!

Then, the fallen bastard’s arms sank into the ground like ribs and surrounded the group.

Suzy suddenly felt a chill down her spine.

The shape that the fallen bones had coincidentally created was like a prison.

“Wait. Victory conditions? No, no. We have to get out of here.”

Tiring!

The sound was heard again, and a new notification window popped up.

[Congratulations on clearing the 100th floor!

[Reward]

Time’s Crystal 350

[Destruction Crystal 810]

Reinforcement Fragment 100 [

Persuasive Reinforcement Fragment 12]

Demiurge’s Bones 40

[Demiurge’s Skull 1]

[Gate to Shangri-La]

Weapon-only Reinforcement Stone (Advanced 180)

Armor-only Reinforcement Stone (Advanced 100)

100,000,000G

Rare Random Box 100

[Deviation (Tier 10.5)]

The rewards were enormous.

If someone had even 1/10 of these reward items, they would instantly become a VIP of the Hunter Market and sit on a mountain of money, as they were top-tier items.

The Demiurge’s bones in particular were a hidden-level material for forging weapons, and they could be used to create a completely new weapon unlike anything she had obtained so far.

But Suzy wasn’t happy at all.

She waited for a moment, but there was no message that the door to the next floor, which usually appeared after clearing a floor of the tower, was open.

“Exit! Find an exit!”

Her scream-like cry made her teammates, who had been trying to calm themselves by looking at the notification window, quickly look around.

“East, there is no exit!”

“West, there is no exit!”

“Damn it! There is no north either!”

As the teammates reported one after another, Suji realized that the bone tombs to the south had already blocked all the paths.

She could have cut them off by stabbing her weapon into the joints of the bones, but the bones were incredibly hard. On top of that, they were piled up in the shape of a tomb. Even if she

slashed until her rapier blade was worn down, she wouldn’t be able to secure a passage.

She gritted her teeth as she watched the bone powder still scattering around her like dust.

There wasn’t even a gate that would allow her to escape.

Was she supposed to die here unless she chose “Deviation” on the 100th floor?

I thought it couldn’t end this easily, but I wondered what it was like to lock someone up and kill them with a victory notification window.

‘Did my mother die like this?’

Thinking about it made me so angry that I couldn’t even die.

“Do you think I came all the way here to die in vain? Victory? Is that what I wanted?”

I was angry that the guy I wanted to kill with my own hands had self-destructed because of the event, but I was also caught in the trap he had set, so it was so unfair and pathetic.

I could have noticed earlier that the guy’s huge pile of corpses was blocking all the paths, but I missed it because I was thinking too much. There’s no more upstairs . What do I want? She looked around desperately. She couldn’t end it like this. This wasn’t why she came all the way here. Even though she knew it was impossible, she dragged her teammates here, just to win. To win, to leave alive together. Play games. Read comics. Watch movies. Watch dramas. Go for walks on sunny days. Live while feeling the seasons passing. She also has the sweet and exciting love that everyone else does. That’s all she wants. Why are you sabotaging someone’s path like this when you want something so great? After all, you took her mother away from her. At that moment, as she looked around with bloodshot eyes, what caught her eye was a long, huge scythe buried in the pile of 〈Demiurge〉’s corpses. “The space itself is collapsing!” At that moment, Elaine’s urgent voice was heard.

Let’s quickly turn our gaze. Every time 〈Demiurge〉 hit the ground, pieces of the ground around where it had collapsed were quickly disappearing.

If we really continued like this, I would disappear along with the space.

Suzy knew it was reckless, but she approached the scythe and grabbed it.

The scythe, which was five times longer than her height, didn’t look like something a criminal could use at first glance.

It was as heavy as its enormous size.

It didn’t budge when touched briefly.

Suzy checked the item.

[〈Demiurge’s Scythe〉 Tier 10.

It contains a new harmony of space and cracks.

It can tear the margins and connect them to new spaces.

Luck +1, Strength +51, Mental Power -14, Attack Power +21,001, Critical Hit +504

(Conditions of Use: EXS-Class)]

Suzy widened her eyes in astonishment after checking the conditions of use written on the bottom line.
