The soldier shouted save (91)
Content after the ending.
When I frown at the unknown slang, Park Min-cheol smiles bitterly.
“… … If you say it like this, you won’t understand.”
Park Min-cheol, who called this place a challenge dungeon, continues his explanation with a thoughtful explanation.
“This isn’t a typical palace or dungeon. It’s a stage for veterans who feel a sense of accomplishment when clearing a level.”
“… …Does this mean it’s a place for training?”
Park Min-cheol shakes his head at my words.
“No, this is a place for challenges. In your terms, this is a place to challenge God.”
Whether success or failure, no one can leave until the challenge is completed.
A place where people risk their lives and challenge God, solely for a sense of accomplishment.
‘That’s ridiculous.’
Park Min-cheol’s analogy makes me laugh out loud.
“… But it’s strange. If there’s no key item, we can’t make an entrance. Who on earth would… … !”
When Park Min-cheol was expressing his anger by grabbing his own hair.
Someone with a haggard face grabs his leg.
“Hey… … . You know, right?”
A long-haired man who fixed the formula for the warp portal.
“You know how to get out of here!!”
As he cries with a desperate face, Park Min-cheol raises his head that he had been lowering.
“… … I know the strategy.”
“Ha, hahaha!! Then, then!”
“But, it’s impossible for the people here. There are no strategy items, and the solo play standard is epic item full setting, and it was cleared in a party with a level 3 NPC.”
“……what?”
When the gloomy man asks again as if he doesn’t understand, Junseok Rodlier, who is from another world, explains it in an easy-to-understand way.
“What Mincheol said is that the prerequisite is the four strongest players on the continent… … .”
“There’s no way a dungeon like that exists!”
“… …Because it’s content after the ending.”
“Everyone, think again! The people here are also among the strongest on the continent!”
Those who have risen to the ranks of the strongest.
The man was cursing and pointing to the powerful figures who had gathered from all over the continent, but he didn’t know the truth.
‘… … Noel or Lee Hyun-seong. Or are you saying that you need someone who can belong to the warrior party?’
Turn your eyes and look at the final ten people.
Five Imperial-level knights.
Two wizards, including the warlock Erendi and a long-haired man.
1 archer with the ‘Reload’ perk.
And including Park Min-cheol and me, whose skills are impossible to gauge, there were a total of 10 people.
“Tell me everything you know. You might be stuck in a game.”
“… … Okay. I’ll tell you the strategy I know.”
Park Min-cheol begins to explain in detail.
This is the challenge dungeon, ‘The World to the Afterlife’.
It was a dungeon occupied mainly by top-tier undead.
“To escape from here, you have to destroy all the towers of corpses to open the exit.”
“… …Tower of Corpses?”
“Yeah. It probably looked like a tower made of bones and dead flesh.”
At those words, one of the knights frowns.
“You speak as if you know everything, but why don’t you even know the form properly?”
“Monitor… No, I’ve only seen it as a drawing through the artifacts of another world, but I’ve never actually seen the Tower of Corpses. Did that answer your question?”
It seems like he just blurted out words in a desperate situation and didn’t intend to find fault.
The knight, who had been lowering his head, shook his head vertically as if he understood.
“Okay, let’s start again. There are five towers of corpses in total. We have to destroy them all in 30 minutes.”
“… …What is the reason?”
“The broken towers will regenerate in 30 minutes. Once they’re all destroyed, a warp portal leading outward will appear.”
Time limit 30 minutes.
The knight makes a desperate expression at Park Min-cheol’s words.
“… … Only 30 minutes?”
I ran with all my might for over ten minutes, avoiding the skeletons, but I couldn’t see the end of the wasteland.
Even if you think about it simply, it was as large as Walker’s territory.
“… … Are there five towers of corpses gathered in one place?”
“No, they’re all scattered.”
“Well, then isn’t that impossible?! Just moving from tower to tower would take 30 minutes! Don’t you even know where they are?!”
Park Min-cheol lowers his head as if he has nothing to say.
Ask him about the process, not the method.
“How did you overcome adversity in the game culture?”
“… … I purified the tower in the game.”
“purification?”
“… … Yes, if there is a priest of sainthood candidate level, the tower can be purified with divine power and regeneration can be prevented. So, there is no need to worry about things like time limits.”
The strategy that Park Min-cheol spoke of was impossible to implement.
Purify the tower as a priest of saint candidate level,
He stopped the Death Knight as a knight armed with 8 epic items.
It is said that if you block the entry of hundreds of thousands of skeletons with a wizard who causes natural disasters, the path will appear without difficulty.
“If you put the remaining character on the side that is being pushed, you can easily clear ‘The World to the Afterlife’. In fact, the strategy is to grow the character and farm epic items. Those two things… … .”
Let Junseok Rodlier explain Park Mincheol’s words, which are full of otherworldly slang, in an easy-to-understand way.
-Thud thud!
A long-haired man punches his own thigh.
“… … You’re saying there’s no way!!”
“Hey, hey. Stop it!”
The knight stands up and stops the man from harming himself.
“Hey, let go of this! I, I… … shouldn’t have come here… … .”
A man sobbing with his face covered by both hands.
“Ugh, uh-huh-huh… … .”
He suddenly bursts into laughter and shouts at the punitive force.
“… … Lee Hyun-seong. The fact that this is happening right now means that Lee Hyun-seong is still alive, right? … … There’s no need to be afraid. He has a save, so he’ll be able to survive somehow… … .”
A tone of voice that seems certain that Lee Hyeon-seong is among the punitive force.
The long-haired man seemed to know a lot about the save perk, too.
“… … Even if there is someone with the save privilege, they may already be dead.”
“Oh, no! It’s definitely the ability to turn back time every time you die… … .”
“If it were a normal location, you would respawn from the auto-save. However, this is post-ending content.”
Park Min-cheol warns while glancing at the faces of the punitive force.
“If you die in the challenge dungeon, you will immediately return to the title screen. In multiplayer, dead people cannot create characters and can only spectate.”
“… … What do you mean I can only watch?”
“It means that the dead can only watch over the living. The server manager… no, even the god who manages the world cannot resurrect that person twice.”
His gaze lingers on me for a moment.
“So, if there’s anyone here with the save privilege, I hope they don’t die and fight until the end.”
A warning from an old man to a Gerard with the save privilege.
That’s what Park Min-cheol said.
“Ah, no! … … I searched so desperately for the save privilege, but it says I can’t use it here? Then why was the palace so wary?! I, it’s all bullshit… I don’t know anything and I’m just talking nonsense!!”
A man sits up and takes something out of his hand.
“You damn bastards! If I had this, I would! I said I wouldn’t move!!”
As the man swings his arm, something crashes to the floor.
-Clang.
A black ring of a type I’ve never seen before.
Park Min-cheol picks up the ring and says.
“… It’s a magic item that changes the properties of magical power.”
A dungeon where you can’t get your life back even if you save.
A man who seems to have been tricked by someone.
The scattered circumstances surrounding the man’s actions begin to fit together.
“It was the palace’s doing.”
“… … What does that mean?”
“The palace summoned all those suspected of being Lee Hyeonseong to the punitive force. Then, they lured the punitive force, where they believed Lee Hyeonseong was hiding, to a place called the Challenge Dungeon.”
The palace had no need to identify Lee Hyeon-seong among the many suspects.
A challenge dungeon where even the save privilege cannot bring back your life.
The purpose of the palace will be achieved by gathering all the suspects here and waiting for them to be killed by the undead.
“A spy from the palace who joined the punitive force.”
Pointing to a man with long hair.
“You must have been a trick to lure us into the challenge dungeon.”
A gloomy-looking man who flinches at my words.
The knight draws his sword with an angry face.
“How dare you! You bastard!!”
A gesture that seemed as if it would pierce a man’s head at any moment.
Someone stops the knight’s seemingly unstoppable rage.
“… … We need this guy too to survive. There are only two wizards left.”
The knight roars at Park Min-cheol’s words.
“Eww!”
-puck!
A fist aimed at a man’s face.
“Ugh, ugh… … .”
The knight, who had been glaring at the man lying on the ground, lowered his trembling fist with difficulty.
“… … A person from another world. So what should I do now?”
“Well, I guess I’ll have to think about that from now on… … .”
Park Min-cheol, who had never been able to keep his mouth shut, lowers his head, unable to answer.
Raise your voice at that sight and speak out for a solution.
“There is one thing we must do first.”
“… … What does that mean?”
“Find out the locations of all five towers. You have to figure out the exact locations of the towers in this vast wasteland, and destroy them all within 30 minutes.”
Did you see a glimmer of hope?
The article adds voice to my opinion.
“Then how about we split up and search the tower?”
“No. In order to clear the area, there can be no more casualties. Even if it takes a long time, it has to be done as safely as possible… .”
The punitive force’s vitality returns with my voice.
“I, I know a magic spell to reduce noise!”
As the black magician Erendi finishes explaining the ‘concealment magic’, Park Min-cheol comes to a conclusion.
“As Allen said, we will do everything we can to locate the tower. Keep engagement to a minimum. In particular, we must never be discovered by the Death Knight.”
He smiles for the first time and says:
“Let’s all try to survive.”
We took turns sleeping for three hours and rested.
“I’ll be at the front. Allen will be at the rear.”
“No, I’ll be the scout. If I’m the only one who can shake them off even if they find out.”
“… … Okay. Let’s do that.”
I walk quickly to scan the front, and the main force, having killed any signs of life, follows behind me, scanning the wasteland.
“… …Stop. There’s a skeleton lying over there.”
5th hour of search.
As Park Min-cheol, who had switched roles with me, said that, someone took out a bow.
“I’ll handle it. If I smash his head in one blow, he won’t draw aggro.”
Junseok Rodlier mutters while aiming his bow.
“Reload.”
An arrow that rises by itself and is hung on the protest.
Junseok Rodlier pulls on the tail of the silver arrow to tense up the protest.
-Whew!
An arrow that flashes like a comet and pierces the skeleton’s head.
The silver arrowhead turns the skeleton into dust.
“Not yet. Wait until we see if they’re coming.”
Park Min-cheol counts in a small voice.
“Thirteen… Fourteen…”
According to him, it takes 20 seconds for them to let their guard down.
“… Okay. Even if I got your attention, the aggro would have subsided. Let’s go again.”
The punitive force, which had stopped in its tracks at the sight of a single skeleton, started walking again.
A arduous march that requires constant movement of the legs while keeping watch in all directions.
“Gasp, gasp, gasp… … .”
As the knights took off their gloves and wiped the sweat off their bodies, someone raised his voice.
“Hey, hey. When you say top, is that what you mean?”
A tower of bones with black flesh attached to it.
Park Min-cheol looks up at the tower and says.
“……that’s right.”
14th hour of search.
“That’s the tower of corpses.”
It was the first tower of corpses that the punitive force found.
