Stuck in The Tower

Chapter 69 Traces of Massacre The Sacrificial Lamb

for Purification.

At first glance, it was a combination of words that had nothing to do with the 15th floor, but looking into the reality, it wasn’t necessarily so.

“The Plague and the Witch. Tonganus, a town burned by it.”

I am standing at the entrance of the village.

The collapsed outer wall and the signboard announcing the town’s name fell to the floor.

It was a language that didn’t exist on Earth, but I had eyes watching the S-class Power Star.

[Tonganus-village]

-It used to be a peaceful village, but not now.

-It is full of unfortunate ghosts.

I was able to read the approximate information.

It’s not just me. There were many people who climbed the 15th floor over the past 10 years, and some of them had the power or skills to read the language of the other world or gather information.

As I learned through the community, the background of the 15th floor was revealed by the decorations and writings that exist throughout the town.

Some were inferred from the behavior and reactions of the monsters.

To put it simply, that’s it.

“A witch spread the plague and it was chosen as a heretical village for safety reasons. Maybe it was burned?”

Half of it was a novel-like story mixed with the imaginations of the hunters.

If it hadn’t been for the first artificial dungeon, this level of research wouldn’t have been conducted.

For mankind, it was more important to climb and become stronger than the background of a small field.

Others, too, would focus on hunting.

“It definitely smells.”

I’m sure the hidden piece is hidden.

A field with such a background has appeared, but it is nonsense to simply tell you to hunt.

“I have to catch it first.”

Hidden Peace had to be hunted in order to meet the conditions for attacking Peace Go.

Still, it’s inefficient to sweep it blindly.

“Deokchun, shall we take a look around the village?”

“That’s it.”

If you’re hunting, you’re going to take a look at what the village looks like.

The entrance to the village that I walked into confidently.

As soon as I entered, the eyes of the monsters roaming the streets were focused on me.

silent pressure.

The downy hair stands upright.

The empty eyes of the dead and the hostility of an unknown source give the living a sense of incongruity.

“Goooooooo!”

The first to attack was the Charcoal Zombie.

burnt body. He waved his hands while spraying the smell of burns and ashes.

It’s not very fast, but if you get a wound, you get infected and burn at the same time.

-Tung

“Huh?”

Of course, it was hard to get a single scratch on me, who was properly equipped.

After all, Charcoal Zombies are 1-star at best.

The same goes for skeletons. I don’t know if I had a special job like Skeleton Warrior or Archer.

-Suddenly,

he swung his flame sword.

A clean cut section.

Chi profit.

The cold and heat collided, and the zombie’s neck flew up as frighteningly as the sound of cutting the water was heard.

The same goes for living things, but the undead’s weakness is their head.

– Perok!

I stepped on the head of a zombie that had fallen to the ground and exploded it.

That was the beginning.

“Keeeeeeeeeeeeeee!”

Pulse location screamed.

A witch who does not use curses.

That doesn’t mean I don’t use any magic.

[The scream of the pulse location strengthens the undead in the area.]

First, it has a buff that strengthens the undead.

“Aww!”

“Wow!”

It was even possible to play a pivotal role in systematically manipulating the undead that moved by instinct.

Basic rating 2 stars. Beak was a monster that went up to 3 stars depending on the size of the undead army.

Charcoal zombies and skeletons rushing in from nowhere.

I feel disgust just by looking at it.

The smell of rotting corpse and burning protein. The guys approaching me spilling something I don’t know what.

[Fire Bomb (B) Lv.7]

-Quaaaaaang!

I had an explosion.

Guys who are having fun.

The second way to catch the undead.

“It’s getting rid of the body itself so that it can’t move at all.”

If you only support firepower, this is more efficient.

1-star monsters are like toys to me.

Little by little, the explosion continued.

I also wanted to check the village, and staying in one place for a long time could get me into trouble if I was surrounded.

Because one of the fears of the undead was quantity.

It’s unlikely, but if a variant or an ancestor appears, it could be bad.

By the way…

“Why do the kids seem to be getting more violent?”

“That’s right.”

At my question, Deokchun also let out a small cry, probably feeling strange.

With explosions happening here and there, it’s even weirder to stay still.

Even if it was me, I would have thrown myself in all directions.

What is that anyway Rather than a move to avoid an attack.

“Ohhhh!”

“Aaaaa!”

“Kiyiyi!”

It was close to luminescence.

confusion. I let go of my mind and howled until the pulse location where I was supposed to lead the other undead.

The guys who were crude but steady aiming at me also lost their direction and ran amok.

Scratching the floor and scratching your nails in the air.

Even if it wasn’t me, if I touched it, it would show aggression.

Even though it is a zombie whose brain has rotted away, it usually prioritizes the target it attacks.

It’s not a normal reaction at all.

“Is this the same for other attacks?”

I stopped the explosion and dove into the messy undead.

This time, I’m thinking of purely hand-to-hand combat without using skills.

He swung his sword, stabbed it, and slashed it down with the handle.

Zombies and skeletons give their heads without being able to resist properly.

The location of the pulse over there is far away.

-Peouk

threw a stone and broke his head.

He probably didn’t die right away. First of all, it’s a 2-star monster, so it’s hard to do anything with a single stone.

then what You can throw it several times.

I threw two more stones in a row at the head of the pulse position that staggered and raised its body.

It sounds like the sound of a bone breaking.

30 minutes like that.

[Kill Skeleton (12/20)]

[Kill Charcoal Zombie (18/30)]

[Kill False Witch (9/20)]

I was able to defeat quite a few monsters.

Part of it was because the gap was so wide, and part of it was that they were easy to deal with because they moved randomly.

Although over time I began to calm down.

Pulse Witch, who came to his senses, began to lead the undead again.

sure with this

“There is no reaction to normal attacks.”

It only reacted abnormally to the explosion.

Is Firebomb special? I don’t think so.

Maybe this is the key to the hidden peace.

I ran around town avoiding them.

The undead were overflowing, so there was no need to riot in one place.

“There are a lot of skeletons on this side.”

west of town. Near the outskirts, there were far too many skeletons.

Its characteristic is that it looks bizarre by being scorched here and there.

– Dripping chin!

He quickly passed between them and returned his head.

A skeleton gourd that spins several times and then falls like a bottle cap.

“On him. Wow!”

Deokchun’s acid saliva and poisonous saliva quickly melted their heads.

It has the power to melt stones, but it melts bones easily.

“Let’s see how these guys will react.”

The first is Fire Bomb.

The bones of the dismembered skeleton flew in all directions, but they didn’t go crazy like the guys I met earlier.

Do you want to react to water?

[Water (F) Lv.4]

-The strange

stream of water is poured into the skeleton.

He hesitated as if he was embarrassed, but soon came to his senses and ran towards me.

The sight of them clenching their teeth and floundering is both funny and pitiful.

I have to make it easy for my weak heart.

-He smashed the head with the side of

the kaang sword.

Apparently, it’s better to hunt skeletons by breaking them rather than cutting them.

“There is no reaction to fire. Water doesn’t do much either.”

Maybe it’s because I did a lot of experiments.

Before I knew it, my surroundings were full of skeletons.

I think the number will be around 40.

Because it’s annoying to deal with them one by one.

[Dig (F) Lv.3]

[Dig (F) Lv.3]

[Skill level up!]

[Dig (F) Lv.4]

I made a pit in the direction where the skeletons were flocking.

Digg used overlapping.

In an instant, a moat 2 meters deep was created around me.

It’s not really water, so it’s not a moat.

“Daddak! Exactly!”

“Less.”

Skeletons with neither wings nor leg strength to jump over the ditch fall into the pit.

Friends with no brains.

You come in with no intention of going back.

He let out a small sigh. Can I just bury it like this?

[Fire Bomb (B) Lv. 7]

-Fuquaaang

I caused an explosion on the ground.

The earth explodes and soil pours down.

“Crack. Close by!”

“Kidduk!”

It was then that the adverse reaction came.

The slow-moving skeleton began to play with its hands like crazy.

Scratching the walls and scratching the floor.

He pushed his mouth and dug up the soil.

I pushed and pulled a fellow skeleton clinging to my side and climbed on top of it.

As if in a frenzy, the empty eye sockets were filled with demons, and they bit and attacked each other.

It was a creepy scene to see dozens of skeletons tangled and struggling to climb up.

A sense of urgency.

A live burial No, it’s just a burial because he’s already dead.

It’s not pleasant to be buried in the ground, but it’s serious.

“Tsk.”

I narrowed my eyebrows and ruthlessly exploded, blowing away the skeletons that were forming a tower of bones.

White bone fragments scattered on the charred ground.

I feel dirty.

It wasn’t for nothing that people said it was the most unpleasant place on the 10th floor.

Their movements were mixed with emotion.

“Let’s change seats.”

“To that.”

I brushed off the ashes from my body and headed north of the village.

Was it a residential area? There were many buildings with only walls remaining, but strangely shaped stone dolls were seen all over the town.

One hand covers her chest and the other covers her eyes.

The corner of the mouth that went down to the chin and the bent knees gave off a bizarre feeling.

Why does it seem like all of them are just collecting bad feelings?

“Is this why it’s heresy?”

I lifted the blackened stone doll.

exercised power.

[Sign of Heresy]

– A mark and warning given to those judged to be heretics.

-Choose within two days. To be converted or to be purified.

Looking at the information, it seemed like a kind of warning ornament.

Although it says purification, it must mean that it will kill you even if you look at it.

I threw the stone doll I was holding.

I feel bad for nothing. As the world changed and hunters became active, people believed in many superstitions.

So many unbelievable things happened.

I was one of them, so I didn’t want to fiddle with the illegal stuff.

Should I just get out? The more there is, the more uncomfortable it is.

If you catch enough skeletons and grab some zombies and pulses, the portal to the 16th floor will open.

There are a lot of floors to climb anyway, so I think you can skip one or the other.

“Ay Mr. what do you think If you are going to do it, you have to do it until the end.”

I patted my cheek and regained my composure.

Once you become complacent, it will be the same after that.

let’s focus

Calmly summarized the information gathered so far.

“Charcoal zombie pulse locations glow with fire, and skeletons run amok in pits. Is there heresy?”

What a strange combination.

In the first place, aren’t charcoal zombies resurrected from the dead by fire as undead, and skeletons are rotten ones crawling up from the ground?

Pulse Witch, I don’t know how it was born, but seeing that it was frightened by fire, it must have been burned at the stake in a witch hunt. There is also a proof of heresy.

Just like people with severe burns are afraid of fire, there is no law against the undead.

“uh?”

wait for a sec.

Heresy? burned?

In an instant, goosebumps appeared on the back.

Undead’s abnormal reaction.

A fire that does not go out even when water is poured on it.

A village that continues to burn and the undead that roam in it.

If all of this had anything to do with their deaths…

“Burned alive at the stake.”

I turned my head.

The western section has more skeletons compared to other places.

White bones peeked through the collapsed pit.

Bones other than the skeletons I hunted. It must have been buried there from the beginning.

It wasn’t hard to imagine how they got buried there.

Charcoal zombies roaming around in a burning town?

He must have been in the village and burned to death.

Needless to say Pulse Witch, who is a witch but does not use curses.

Because he must be a victim who was stigmatized as a heretic and died.

Maybe there were no witches and no pestilence in this town.

Because it doesn’t make sense to bury a person with the plague alive.

In the first place, there are people, so why start a fire?

I remembered the information I had seen before entering the village.

-It is full of unfortunate ghosts.

Maybe the unfair ghosts…

“All the undead in this field.”

And this field…

“Traces of carnage.”

-Titling!

[I glimpsed the tragedy of Tonganus Village.]

[Conditions fulfilled]

[Hidden quest occurs.]

[Are you sure you accept?]

The quest has been created.
