#Episode 296, Restrictions of the Tower

Suddenly, there was a divine character encompassing the 47th floor of the sky.

No, it was a sentence.

The only words I could interpret were two words meaning ‘kill’ and ‘equivalent to’… .

Nevertheless, it was not difficult to deduce that this was the secret of resurrection.

Roughly guessing from the word order and position of particles,

‘If person B, who is comparable to A, is murdered by A… ‘Is that about enough?’

The word that follows means ‘resurrection’,

In this way, you learn by feeling.

‘… ‘It wasn’t a device that specifically targeted me?’

In a way, this can be said to be one of the difficulties of the 47th floor.

It would be a nightmare in itself if the opponent who caused friction such as PK or falling behind keeps coming back while strategy alone is overwhelming.

However, the meaning in the game would have been a bit different.

Although there are differences in terms of disadvantages, ‘resurrection (restart)’ is a common ability for all players.

Nevertheless, it was a huge advantage to be able to resurrect immediately from the floor where you died without consuming a tower spell book.

It would have played a role in encouraging retaliation from the revived players.

‘But I guess it wasn’t activated unconditionally again.’

If that was an unconditional device, there is no way Richard, who was likely to have experienced the 47th floor, would not have known about it.

Even I couldn’t guess the conditions that meet A based on that syntax.

… But I felt an itch, as if I knew something.

It is not a guess about one or two connected words, but something… It was about fundamental principles.

“hmm… .”

Unfortunately, I couldn’t get rid of that feeling right now.

Richard, who had been rushing at full speed so far, had narrowed the distance to about 50 meters in front.

A split second away from each other.

‘by the way… .’

I couldn’t ask Richard a question because my thoughts were going astray.

He kicked out of his seat and was shot.

Pot!

Richard also made a sword move and accelerated even further.

‘We’re already so close that there’s no reason to open our mouths… .’

The only thing that’s disappointing about this guy is when you have to catch him from a distance.

Anyway, he raised his dagger to the tip of Richard’s sword and shouted.

“First question!”

But this question has already been asked three times.

“Why did you try to accompany me like you didn’t know anything—!”

Kagagak!

‘100 million!’

However, the force transmitted through the handle was not light.

I had planned to dodge the attack by throwing it over one shoulder, but

The guy’s sword stuck to me more than expected.

I quickly twisted my body.

Grumble!

At the same time, it created a flame and blocked the sword’s pursuit.

Buuuung—!

Richard cut down the flames with a sword wind that swept up the sand, but I also used the gap to repair the twisted new model.

Chikwang!

“under! This bastard… .”

You put your energy into it from the beginning, right?

This may be due to the determination to retrieve the 79th floor order book plus the desperation of only having one chance.

It was a life-or-death fight, but there must have been a fight where I didn’t do my best… ,

Judging from the distribution of power, it seemed like he was planning to finish with just a few moves.

“You said you would answer everything?”

“… … .”

“… It’s too much. “Still, I thought you weren’t a gangster.”

visor! Grab it!

“town!”

Pibibit—!

It doesn’t work anymore… .

Richard was also a human being who could learn.

“Tsk!”

I secretly sprayed sectatorium particles smaller than a grain of sand during a light attack, but the creature immediately stopped breathing and spread out its sword screen.

However, in a close combat situation like now, deploying techniques solely for defense was a weakness that could have put them on the defensive.

Therefore, it was the right time for me to make a big fuss, but I deliberately took a back step and spoke.

“Are you sure you will win this time?”

Richard also knew that I was giving up my advantage to talk to him, so he didn’t rush in right away.

It was a matter of pride that had nothing to do with character not keeping promises.

“… “Don’t turn around and just say what you want to say.”

“That’s right. “You broke your promise once, but next time, I won’t tear up the order form without looking back, right?”

Richard chuckled and said.

“… I already got my chance. “If I keep my promise, it will be my last chance.”

ah.

This means that even if I get the answer anyway, I won’t use the order form next time.

‘Well, what… . That’s right.’

If you think about it, this was a problem where the person who was deceived was an asshole.

My country would have been like that too.

“… … “Fuck.”

You might think that if you get angry, you can just tear up the order form right away,

When you’re this close, even if you barely increase the distance, you won’t have time to ‘tear’ the spell book.

No, you can tear it up if you do it one less time.

However, I had no idea that the body arriving on the 79th floor would be split in half.

The gap between him and me wasn’t that big.

“then… “Let’s stop chatting.”

Pot!

Richard rushed in again.

‘… ‘Are you pissed?’

I was as angry as the new guy who was growing bigger all of a sudden.

Rather than simply being angry at being deceived,

Because there is nothing to gain.

Even after six difficult battles, nothing was found,

In the end, you won’t be able to get rid of him completely,

I even missed the beginning of a certain realization a while ago.

Of course, I was able to encounter the beginning of that feeling thanks to Richard,

As someone who doesn’t forget even the smallest of sensations, I couldn’t say I had completely missed it, but it was true that I was interrupted.

However, I was well aware that my angry movements were not neat.

“Whoa… .”

Shoo shoo shoo!

It seems that the more you capture it, the more advantageous it is in desperation, and Richard’s relentless attacks are quite fierce.

Quagwagwang—!

I felt the momentum of a deadly attack as if each move was the last blow.

Wedge! Kang!

The sword extended to the solar plexus was struck an inch in front of him.

For a moment, my heart skipped a beat as I saw the green light on the thrown sword body becoming darker.

“Tsk!”

Ugh. Tukan!

I hurriedly unfolded the shield, but dozens of green-colored swords emerged from inside the shield.

Squeak.

The hand that was reflexively raised was cut off cleanly.

“… … !”

Tuk.

It wasn’t that I was careless, but it was a mistake that I couldn’t concentrate more.

It was a fight where I had to use up cards he didn’t know about, one by one, and Richard had to change his already familiar tactics.

To put it simply, I could have used my head a little less.

Then I was caught off guard, and that would have been negligence.

anyway.

fault!

After a brief moment of reflection, I left the place without even feeling any pain.

My left hand, rolling on the floor, moves that far away.

Unrealistic visual information and painfully realistic pain sensations mixed together late, causing a slight feeling of dizziness.

As if he would never miss an opportunity, Richard followed closely and struck down his sword sharply.

Pabababak!

Dozens of sword-shaped swords crashed into the spot where they had just landed.

They are not simply illusions of phantom swords, but each is a real power.

But again, the speed is like a quick sword, and the gap between when I dodge and hit is gradually narrowing.

I had no choice but to throw a handful of ballistic energy into the space between him and me.

A black shade appears out of nowhere! As it swelled and grew, Richard, who flinched, stopped pursuing and retreated.

Wow!

The strong energies that had already manifested were silently eaten by the shadows.

If Richard had attacked it himself, he would have lost his favorite weapon, but he also seemed to have recognized the dangers of empty magic at a glance.

I too am paying the ‘price’.

My energy and blood were distorted along with the pain that was squeezing my heart.

“Cough!”

Is there a reason why I haven’t written it yet?

‘Restrictions of the tower… .’

I always felt that my operational magical power was halved, and I expected that I would receive this kind of damage if I used my abilities beyond a certain limit.

Puzzle!

The air power that had swelled to a certain extent suddenly disappeared between the waving wrinkles of space.

──!

At the same time, I heard tinnitus and the pressure of the deep sea pressed down on my bones.

‘Queuouk!’

The pain of the severed limb is completely forgettable.

Fortunately, Richard, who was preoccupied with the series of phenomena, did not take advantage of this opportunity.

“Gasp… .”

It took quite some time to completely escape the aftereffects of the restrictions, but Richard’s offensive did not resume.

‘… … ?’

Richard was still standing there blankly watching me.

The exact place his gaze was directed at was my severed left wrist.

The cut surface of the wrist where the bleeding has stopped.

Something that looked like a clump of cells was sprouting out and slowly taking the shape of a hand.

‘ah… .’

I knew it would regenerate, but

That’s why I was mentally fine even after losing my hand… ,

It was even more shocking to see the process in person.

‘Something… It’s disgusting… .’

Losing a body part was a worse feeling than I had ever experienced in my life.

However, recreating a severed hand had the effect of shaking one’s identity as a human being and reducing self-love.

But regardless of how I feel, it’s unpleasant for others to see it that way.

I waved my left hand, which had already fully grown, and said,

“How long are you going to be mesmerized? “You just missed your only chance to win.”

“that… “Is this your original ability?”

“Why did you want the prospective Demon King Tarantor to be like a human?”

As I asked back sarcastically, I suddenly realized the intention of the question indicated by Richard’s expression.

The original question of whether I could play it was also a question to check whether this was also an effect of the tower.

Rebirth and resurrection. Similar phenomenon on Mac.

Perhaps he was thinking of a fight that would never end even if he won.

While I was wondering if I should have continued with those nightmarish thoughts, the thread of my heart that I had let go of earlier suddenly came up through my thoughts.

‘uh… ?’

It meant that what was tickling my subconscious was related to what I had just experienced.

Restrictions… .

God’s message is already working on me.

It is no different from the conditional formula for resurrection that applies to the entire 47th floor.

It’s just that I couldn’t find it.

I knew right away that restrictions were not a power that could be directly exerted, but the reason why this was a ‘sense’ was clear.

‘… In any case, destruction is possible.’

In order to know and avoid it, it is necessary to know its meaning first.

However, there was no need for interpretation for destruction.

Because it was not Marduk’s full power that was manifested in writing.

‘The power of letters is an imperfect power.’

My own understanding, logic, and imagination poured out like a torrent of water.

“… … .”

For an adept who has reached the state of polarity, the process of entering into a state can be read as a flow of magical power.

Because you must have experienced it yourself.

Of course, it is good manners to never interfere, but if the opponent is the target of extermination, it is only an opportunity.

Sure enough, Richard, who had been acting blank until now, suddenly rushed at me.

Pot!

Shoo shoo shoo!

For me, who was already on guard, this was the perfect counter opportunity.

Tsutsutsu!

The magic energy extended from both shoulders and pierced Richard, who was struggling, from left and right.

“Oops!”

Kwakagak!

Richard, a man of great courage, reacted immediately and cut off one of the Magi’s veins.

However, he was deeply wounded and stumbled backwards.

Although I haven’t had time to read it yet, I already know the main points.

Full power.

The basis of all power begins with a strong will.

I had learned the power to neutralize the hippocampus.

It’s just not yet unique or powerful enough to rival God.

‘But power is power.’

I threw away the restrictions with my will.

Increased magical power.

I gathered all the internal magic that I felt was lacking and the external magic that I could not contain.

The magical power that had been reduced by half circulated throughout the body as if it had originally been there,

The magic around me responded as if it were my own.

Like before, there were no symptoms of tinnitus or distortion of energy and blood.

Rumbling!

The surroundings seemed to be distorted, and a strange phenomenon occurred where the environment changed moment by moment.

Puzzle!

The scenery seemed to be torn apart and put back together.

The space between Richard and me also trembled.

The guy froze with his eyes wide open.

I thanked Richard.

“thanks.”

This was sincere.

Even when he was a butcher,

Even when it was Richard,

He was a friend who taught me.

“If you keep your promise now, I will spare your life. You won’t be able to come back this time. think carefully.”
