Episode 214
“I teach it that way, but you say something, Emperor. “That kid doesn’t listen to me.”
“no.”
I cut off Baekhee’s request with a single sword.
You will take care of your own affairs.
I felt like if I continued to be with her, she would ask me for favors because of her persistence, so I walked away, leaving her behind.
It is said that this temporary camp will be used as a base for resource procurement in New Taipei City.
Thanks to clearing the ordeal, there are no more undead, and the resources of the third layer are richer than expected, so it seems that the situation in New Taipei City will get much better.
‘Actually, more than that.’
The Babylonian magic archers who were delighted with my sight came in.
They are people before they are magicians.
New Taipei City is where they have lived, their hometown and where their family is.
They say that places with such families become better places to live, so their morale also goes up.
“If another ordeal happens, won’t it be the end?”
“It won’t come then.”
To my muttering, Old Man Wolha answered while looking in the same direction as me.
“Our goal is to conquer Magung. This is just the cornerstone for that. So, I hope there will never be a day when trials come again.”
“You’re so confident. Come to think of it, I have other reasons for conquering Magung, but why are you so obsessed with conquering Magung? “If you’re trying to maintain the city, you can probably go back to the third floor, right?”
Old Man Wolha’s obsession with conquering the Demon Palace was questionable.
The city was clearly dying, and the countdown to destruction continued.
However, that does not necessarily lead to a reason to attack all of the Demon Palace.
People survive even in war.
In the future, if we can clear a few more floors like this and obtain resources smoothly, humanity will be able to survive for a few more centuries.
“Would you believe me if I told you it was a persimmon?”
“Are you risking your life to attack the Demon Palace based on intuition?”
“It feels different from that. Since the gods do not give gifts, if the number of magic archers decreases, who will raise resources from the floor? In fact, there is less than a century left.”
It’s nonsense.
Those who live in the Crown Road can handle auras and gain magic and various abilities.
Gifts are always a bonus.
Just because you don’t have a gift doesn’t mean you can’t live.
This guy probably knows that fact well.
“Don’t hang around. “Because I just hate it.”
“… … “Aren’t you just curious?”
Old Man Wolha looked up at the sky.
What he was looking at was the upper level of the Demon Palace, not the sky, but he had a nostalgic feeling on his face.
“What could be up there? And I wonder if there might be a way to restore our world that was fleeting and wide a long time ago.”
Surprisingly, the dream-like story made me rest my chin and look up at the sky.
Constellation play.
I don’t know how this floor will end, but it has nothing to do with me.
“Well, if you go up, there will be an ending.”
“Really?”
I don’t know if that’s the ending these guys want, but that’s a problem I can’t solve.
“When are you going to leave?”
“I have to do it today. Everyone got quite a bit of rest, recovered their stamina, and their morale rose. At this time, you should get up quickly. “You said you were ready too.”
“Yes, because they are bastards who can’t live without me.”
At that moment, the magic archers who were resting seemed to have heard my voice and booed.
They brought me all the way here, but they didn’t recognize their benefactor and jeered at me.
“Everyone, come here. “I’ll kick your ass.”
“Bounce!”
“You son of a bitch, I’m thinking of shooting lightning again!”
As I was looking disapprovingly at the magic archers running away, I heard laughter next to me.
Arayongnyeo and this guy, too, have been feeling bad for smiling like that whenever they see me lately, but I ignored it thinking it was just mental illness.
So the next day, after we were ready to leave, we headed to the entrance to climb the 4th floor stairs.
The entrance between the walls was finally revealed after wizards tore down the wall for a day.
It looked like this was what happened when the upper floor was pulled into the basement.
“sorry.”
“Can you stop apologizing every time you see my face?”
When Nakcheon bowed his head and apologized again, I gave him an annoyed look.
This guy still cares about the fact that he couldn’t help me even though I asked for it and left me alone, so now when he looks at my face, he apologizes as if it’s a conditioned reflex.
“Because Optimism is stubborn. “Justice, which should not be destroyed under any circumstances, has not been able to reach the voices asking for salvation, so it will continue to be like that for a month.”
When Baekhee giggled as if this situation was fun, I just slapped Nakcheon’s helmet as he lowered his head.
“Any apology beyond this is a nuisance.”
“I apologize.”
“Stop.”
I don’t listen to you.
“Enter. “Is everyone following me?”
Old Man Wolha’s voice rang out in the distance.
I turned my gaze away from Nakcheon and followed the people entering, and soon the fourth floor unfolded before my eyes.

Floating stones floated in the golden sky, and waterfalls poured down below.
Grass and vegetation grew green in the land that looked like clouds, and in the distance, huge cliffs and mountains seemed to cover the ground.
【congratulations. You have cleared the 42nd floor for the 5th time.】
【’The owner of the 42nd floor’ and ‘Creepy Little Man’ will greet you and give you a reward.】
The 4th layer of Heavenly Flower Sutra.
In a place that seemed like this when imagining the world above the sky, I immediately looked at the magical beast flying towards us.
This is because the demonic beetles, which have thousands of scaly wings and white centipede-like bodies, were swarming and trying to eat us, the intruders.
“Everyone ready for battle!”
With Old Man Wolha shouting, a long-distance attack began.
I was among them, and soon I was firing bullets made from the Aura of Optimism at the Thousand Beetles like a machine gun.
However, my countless bullets did not have much effect on the beetle.
“Rotten.”
Frowning, I put away the lucky bullets and started loading regular bullets.
The magical beasts that emerged from the Heavenly Flower Sutra had strong resistance to light, cloud, and brain attribute auras.
For that reason, Keraunos Astrape was the worst here.
‘I knew something about it from books, but I never thought it would be like this.’
I thought it would be okay if it was the aura of an optimistic guy within the magic archer’s fingertips, but his resistance was better than I imagined.
If it were my lightning, I’d be immune and ignore everything, but that’s a tool that should be saved for important times.
I had no choice but to use the item I recently received as a floor reward.
The item named ‘Malicious Bandage’ was an item that changed the auror attribute to darkness just by putting it on.
It can also be applied to items, so it is useful depending on the situation.
‘If you use this, you will not be able to use Thunderbolt directly as Keraunos Astrape.’
Due to the nature of having to wear a bandage, there is a limitation that it takes time to remove it in an urgent situation.
But if I’m going to use the Aura bullets of optimism that don’t work right now, I guess I should use this at least.
As he quickly put on a vicious bandage, Ceraunos Astrape’s color turned pitch black.
I immediately loaded the darkness bullet made with Mentis’ aura and fired it at the beetle. I saw that the firepower was much better than before.
As expected, this was the correct answer.
Meanwhile, a group of demons appeared on the ground as well.
Soon, a pure white rhinoceros beetle, larger than a person, was soaring, breaking the cloud-like ground.
In a situation where there was no chaos, Babylon defeated the demonic beasts and quickly cleared the way.
First of all, it was to find a safe place with few demon beasts.
“Has the entrance to the fourth floor changed?”
“It’s worth it since I haven’t been here in years.”
After hearing Arayongnyeo’s answer, I clicked my tongue as I blew off the head of the beetle that was attacking me from above.
Am I starting to find my way again?
I won.
“But there won’t be any trials. “What was the 4th floor trial?”
“It’s bad luck!”
Bad luck.
A battlefield where all the clouds we are stepping on have turned pitch black and lightning is shooting up into the sky from below.
It is said that this is the ordeal of the fourth layer.
The condition for clearing the ordeal is to cut the gold string at the center of the bad luck, but there is one problem.
‘Unless you’re a brain attribute auror, you can’t even get close.’
Meanwhile, demonic beasts with resistance to brain attribute auras are wandering around in the evil clouds.
It’s like the worst is intertwined with the worst.
“In the past, a person named Noeho cleared this ordeal.”
“I heard that guy is dead.”
“Yes, he cleared the ordeal and died.”
In response to Nakcheon’s response, I gently pressed my hand to the nape of his neck.
Since brain attribute auror users are important in maintaining the city, there are not many who become magic archers.
That’s why I’m the only brain-attribute auror user in Babylon.
If there had been a brain attribute auror user in the first place, I would have asked him to make auror bullets.
“Arayongnyeo, I heard you also cleared the 4th floor.”
“Yes, I did. I had a hard time pushing through it with force. “It took almost a week to break through.”
Since that guy had gone through a hard time, I was told that I, a brain attribute auror user, was the only one who could break through the bad luck in Babylon.
“Why is it that a guy with 5 auras doesn’t have a brain attribute?”
“Are you lonely going alone? Shall I follow you? “For a date.”
“Don’t scratch your stomach.”
Bad luck is full of guys like beetles, so I, who had recently raised my stats quite a bit, was sure to be in a tough spot, but I couldn’t take a guy who took a week to get through the bad luck.
‘Still, my stats are now barely above three digits on average.’
His strength, stamina, and agility are now over three digits.
As such, I no longer lack stamina or my physical abilities are inferior to the point where I have to be carried by someone.
However, the fact that I could not use the aurors as I wanted was still the same, so I was quite disturbed.
‘I also increased my intelligence, so the time required to maintain the transformation technique became a little longer.’
I missed my old body so much.
“Over there, there’s a cave. “Let’s check inside and rest if we can.”
I looked at the busy Babylon with mixed eyes.
These guys really wouldn’t be able to clear the Demon Palace without me. Poor things.
“Yes, I have the ability to do it all.”
“Princess disease.”
When Min Do-yeon muttered, I glared at her.
“Call it prince’s disease.”
Mr. Hwak, I can’t reveal my original appearance.
Although the number of guys who treat me like a girl is decreasing day by day, there are still a lot of guys who treat me like a girl because of my appearance.
In particular, Min Do-yeon, the youngest in Babylon, had this tendency, because in the past, when a situation was not going well, she was just roughly changing her top, and the person she made eye contact with blushed and ran away.
‘Maybe it’s because I’m a teenager that I can react that way to this situation.’
The only female members in Babylon are Mentis, Baekhee, Arayongnyeo, and a guy named Byulheuk who follows Old Man Wolha around.
Perhaps because there were so many life-and-death events in the Demon Palace itself, each of them was busy trying to survive, so they chose to sleep more than the time to feel rational emotions.
The survival instinct far surpasses sexual desire.
And in the first place, they only gathered guys who were flirting with them.
‘Mentis is mentally insane both on the outside and inside, Arayongnyeo is the strongest magic archer, Baekhee only looks like that on the outside and is about the age of a grandmother, and a guy named Byeolheuk looks almost the same as a man.’
As for Babylon, there was no conflict or breakdown between members.
‘Old Man Wolha, didn’t you think of this in advance?’
Since the relationship between a man and a woman causes so many problems, I had a quick thought that this guy might have planned it this way on purpose just in case.
I can feel the incredible obsession with conquering the magic palace.
