Episode 273
After completing the request, I headed to the center of the Hanging Garden.
A place where all four parts of the Earth come together in one place.
We entered the so-called ‘tower within a tower’, which looked like a replica of the Tower of Trials.
‘It’s Busan.’
Especially today, there were a lot of people around the tower.
A group of people gathered together in groups of twos and threes.
He glances at me, pretending not to see me.
curiosity.
jealousy.
Hatred.
Yearning.
All eyes, mixed with all kinds of liking and hostility, were directed at me.
Among them were chicken wings, demons that smelled like sulfur, and wizards.
‘I’ve become quite popular too.’
I turned my head and glanced at the guys who were showing hostility.
Eat.
He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, sneered, and went straight into the tower.
A magic circle installed on the floor.
This is a passageway inside the tower.
-Welcome to the Tower of Trials transmission system.
-You can challenge the next step or return to the world the challenger belongs to.
“I challenge you.”
-Challenger Jeon Min-cheol. It has been confirmed that you have passed the 9th floor ordeal.
-Go to the 10th floor.
The vision turns black.
When I closed my eyes and opened them, I had already moved to the 10th floor of the tower.
“Ugh. The car.”
Words that came out instinctively.
White steam formed around my mouth.
I looked around.
What is reflected in the eyes is a world colored white.
Snowflakes were blowing in the harsh wind.
［Tower of Trials – 10th floor］
[Quest: Pilgrimage of Pain]
A pilgrimage of pain that reconstructs places with extreme environments in a multidimensional universe.
If you walk down the endless path of pain
Come and test your limits.
* target
Move forward along the connected road.
* significant
If you give up completing the quest, you can immediately go up to the 11th floor.
It is a pilgrimage of pain.
The ordeal was given a nasty name.
It was so cold that I wondered if the wind would pass by my skin and seep into my bones.
［The place I am currently walking is Niflheim.］
［Exposed to cold Lvl08.］
[Strength / Agility / Stamina decreases by 70%.]
［The longer the exposure time, the more abnormal status effects are applied.］
［The mid-level godhead protects the body from external currents.］
[Cold penalty reduced by 50%
do.]
The status window summarizes the current situation.
I remember that the Cheonho Station gate had a cold level of 5.
I had no idea how much colder it was here than at the gate.
‘It’s Niflheim.’
A dimension that runs counter to Asgard.
It is a bitterly cold land ruled by the goddess Hel.
The cold that even freezes the soul.
I had been there once in my past life, and it was quite impressive because the weather was so cold.
The chill of the dead.
It is an extreme cold that can only be offset by my godhood by half.
‘If I stay still, I’ll be in big trouble.’
He immediately used the Seongcheon Jogye Gong and sent chaos energy into the entire body.
My body, which had become dull due to the cold, regained its vitality.
‘Are you telling me to walk here?’
A road through white snow.
Even the strong snowstorm did not invade the long pilgrimage path.

Jerk, jerk.
I walked along the straight road.
As I moved my body, my senses became more activated under the influence of the chaos.
A body that has undergone transformation by consuming the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil.
Lieutenant deity.
And Seongcheon Jogye-gong, who reached 7 stars.
Even the cold of Niflheim was not enough to stop me.
How long did it take to walk?
“Krrrr!”
A strange sound echoed from afar and entered my ears.
Red eyes sparkling through the snow.
It was Ye Ti, the monster I encountered at the Cheonho-dong gate.
“It was a good meeting. I felt like my body was stiff already, so I wanted to relax a little.”
The road I was walking alone was quiet.
It showed up at the right time.
There are about 200 Yetis in the group.
It appeared without any sign and suddenly surrounded me.
Maybe it’s one of the tower’s trials.
“Challenger. Go back.”
“Then nothing happens.”
“If we return from here, we can avoid something terrible.”
The Yeti group took turns talking.
They surround themselves as if they are going to attack at any moment and even warn them. They are kind guys.
But what should I do?
“I don’t plan on doing that.”
He kicked the ground and rushed forward.
The first target was the Yeti, which fired a warning without even knowing the subject.
［Dark Star – Unicorn’s Horn Spear］
He held a long spear and used his internal power according to the gyeolgi of the Yeonhwanchang style.
Pangrrrr-
The rotating force literally pulverized the Yeti’s body.
Before the other Yetis could react, they deployed a series of chants again and penetrated into the center of the group.
A long line pierced the space.
The Yeti’s body, with a hole in it, fell a step later where the spear passed.
“Krrrr!”
The Yeti group went berserk.
Yeti becomes stronger in places with low temperatures.
Thanks to the cold of Niflheim, his specs have improved to the point of reaching Class A.
okay.
At best, it’s equivalent to Class A.
［Dark Star – Chains of Earth］
He wore a black chain around his waist and held the left and right strands with both hands.
Chareung.
I spun around quickly in place while performing the Ginjicheonshigong.
The chain carrying the chaotic energy spread out to both sides and spun like a propeller at a speed that was difficult to follow with the eye.
pop! Puff!
The fabric was crushed or torn apart.
The yetis that were rushing were shattered to the point where it was difficult to recognize the forms that came into the range of the Ginjicheonshakugong.
The number of Yetis, which had reached 200, suddenly decreased to 50.
“Krrr?”
“Challenger. Monster.”
Some Yeti lost their will to fight and tried to run away.
［Dark Star – Spirit Palace］
［Dark Star – Sword of the Emperor］
“Where are you running away to?”
Hold a bow with both hands.
The king’s sword was deployed and controlled by the Igire sword.
Tooung!
He unfolded the Surama Bow and put an arrow into the back of the head of the fleeing Yeti.
“Krrr! It’s holding you back so you can’t shoot arrows!”
A few Yetis turned around and attempted close combat.
Pazzutz I
The king’s sword floating in the air danced.
Each time the black river moved, the Yeti’s body was torn into pieces one by one.
Red blood that colors the pure white snow fields.
They all come from Yeti.
It took about 10 seconds to defeat even the last one.
Considering the past Cheonho-dong Gate, it was a huge step forward.
The battle could have ended faster if some of the Yeti had not run away.
‘no. Thanks to you, I relaxed a bit.
ah.’
As I chatted with a group of Yetis, I felt the chill that was eating away at my body.
I added strength to my steps and once again walked down the road with no end in sight.
* * *
The starting point of the ‘Pilgrimage of Suffering’.
Dozens of challengers appeared on the snowy field.
An angel with wings on his back.
A devil with horns or misshapen bat wings.
And wizards in robes.
The three groups widened their distance, conscious of each other’s presence.
“The wicked Burnt Bob bastards.”
“Where do you mean chicken wing bastards get their fight?”
“They are foolish people who only hold their heads high because they are a superior species.”
Angels of Providentium.
Demons of Gehenna.
The Wizards of Moebius.
They all had one purpose.
-Get rid of Jeon Min-cheol.
A general order to kill all three communities.
As soon as the chase team formed from each community heard that Min-cheol was climbing the tower, they put everything aside and entered the 10th floor.
I had to spend a lot of points.
Due to the intervention of the [Administrator], I even took a skill level penalty.
‘damn. After all, it’s an ordeal on the 10th floor.
you.’
‘This is a place I don’t want to come back to.’
‘I never thought I’d come back to this terrible place on my own.’
Angels withstood the cold by covering their bodies with their wings.
The demons used hellfire to warm themselves.
Wizards also developed winter magic to protect themselves.
The 10th floor ordeal was infamous among the tower’s challengers.
You have to blindly walk down a path that has no end in sight.
There were a lot of distractions along the way, and more than anything, the testing site was so harsh that it was difficult to just walk.
“Do not disturb, you chicken wings!”
“What are you talking about while making such a disgusting smell?”
An imminent situation.
At that time, the Moebius group began to move first.
“We are the ones who catch Jeon Min-cheol.”
Yellow Robe.
This is a killing team made up of third-tier wizards.
They moved along the road, rising about 50 cm from the ground.
“I can’t give in to those mortals.”
“Damn. If it continues like this…
The leaders of the two groups made eye contact.
Carrying out instructions from above was more important than the resentment between angels and demons.
“For now, there is a truce. You wicked bastards.”
“You sneaky chicken wings. Let’s decide the winner later.”
A dramatic compromise achieved with a common goal!
It was a historic(?) moment when angels and devils signed a temporary but temporary peace agreement.
Angels and demons quickly catch up with the Mobius group.
Sheesh-
The leader of the wizard group clicked his tongue.
‘We’ll just fight like usual.’
Jeon Min-cheol has one life.
There are three things to aim for.
As we looked at each other, our movement speed gradually slowed down.
Meanwhile.
Sniff.
A dog-like demon flared its nostrils.
“It’s the smell of fresh blood.”
A devil running on all fours.
“It’s a guy.”
“Jeon Min-cheol’s head is ours.”
The angels and Mobius wizards also started running a little later.
A mission that puts the pride of each community at stake.
As we ran forward, our ranks disorganized, we discovered traces of a fierce battle.
Dead bodies of Yetis scattered on the left and right sides of the road.
The blood from their bodies dyed the snowy field red.
“You’re the one who hunted down the entire Yeti group by yourself.”
“It smells like blood.”
“We have to find traces of him. Don’t miss a single detail.”
The three groups each examined the traces of the battle and came to the same conclusion.
-Engagement time was 20 minutes ago.
-The Yeti on the pilgrimage route is much stronger.
– Jeon Min-cheol must have been injured, or even if he wasn’t, he was quite weak, which slowed his forward speed.
The analyzes of the three groups were almost identical.
These are all people who have experienced the painful pilgrimage.
The Yeti that emerges from the snowy area is alone.
It’s a difficult opponent to face.
Immediately after the battle, Mincheol must have lost quite a bit of strength.
Now was the right time to pursue it.
‘We must defeat Jeon Min-cheol before those wicked bastards.’
‘Dirty chicken wing bastards. They’re probably planning on pretending to be just and stabbing us in the back.’
‘Let the angels and the devil fight and we catch Jeon Min-cheol.’
A different dream.
The leaders of each group stab each other in the back.
Thinking about hitting, I increased my speed to chase after the injured(?) Mincheol.
Rice Rice Rice Rice
I looked back at the road I had taken.
The snow was so heavy that I couldn’t see the path I was walking on.
The bitter cold wind blocks sight and even sound.
The cold of Niflheim could not be penetrated even by physical modification and strengthened five senses.
‘I hope you’re following along well.’
Providentium or Gehenna or Moebius.
I thought it would be nice if at least one of the three was following me.
Nox already told me that Pandemonium and Elysium were on guard against me.
That doesn’t just apply on Earth.
tower.
The influence of both forces reaches everywhere in the multidimensional universe.
The Tower of Trials was no exception.
You can get an estimate by looking at the fact that two of the seven major communities are groups of devils and angels, right?
‘I guess Nox’s warning was to be careful of those guys in the tower.’
There were two purposes for passing through the 5th floor before taking on the next challenge.
The first purpose is to create a core.
The second was to throw bait to see how both forces would behave.
Dimensional deterrence does not apply in the Tower of Trials.
This means that higher-ranking species can fully demonstrate their power.
‘But even the wrong guys reacted.’
The Mobius community was also problematic.
There had already been a clash on the 6th floor.
On the 9th floor, I openly f*cked them in their faces.
In addition to demons and angels, we were in a situation where we had to deal with wizards.
‘Anyway, I threw away the rice cake.’
I hope at least one of the three communities gets caught.
I turned around again and walked forward.
While moving through the blizzard, monsters occasionally attacked.
Yeti, Frost Wolf, and Snow Spirit.
In common, these monsters become stronger as the cold weather increases.
Yes, it’s a mouthful.
As we continued forward, the number of attacks began to decrease at some point.
The snowfall gradually became lighter and the temperature began to rise.
The moment you take a step without thinking.
［Passed through the Niflheim area』
［The next area is…….］
The snowstorm cleared and the surrounding scenery suddenly took on a different appearance.
fantasy,
