Episode 173
The old blacksmith looked thrilled.
He kept muttering, “I did it!” and rubbing the item he was holding with both arms against his cheek.
[Please wait.]
The short strategy booklet that was sent is definitely related to what the old man is holding.
What on earth?
“Hoyoung hyung! Are you going to keep leaving that old man like that? “It’s already disturbing because there’s a sea of fire everywhere!”
“Hey, team leader! If we don’t find a way quickly… … .”
Kim Se-yong and Lloyd were exhausted.
A field burning brightly even at this moment.
The fire that seemed to burn everything within the barrier was about to spread to the blacksmith shop, but the old man didn’t seem to care at all.
They just spend an emotional time hugging the item they created.
I didn’t want to disturb the time he was enjoying, so I just watched this in silence for a while.
Until he opens his mouth again.
“Do you remember what I said about not forgetting this grace?”
“yes. “Elderly.”
“Now this is yours.”
The old man handed me the item in his hand.
Even at this moment, the old man’s hands are shaking.
“What is this?”
“This is something that contains my lifelong wish. “I named it Theia’s Wings.”
“Theia’s wings… … . “I don’t know what it’s used for, but even just looking at it, it seems like a magical item.”
“I have eyes to see. “With this item, we humans will be able to overcome the limitations of space for the first time.”
Then the old man pointed his finger to the sky.
In the sky, flying ogres were leisurely flying in the sky, laughing at us.
‘It was like that too.’
The reason the strategy book told me to wait.
The pieces of the puzzle fit together as if they had been planned for a long time.
But can I really have this?
In this worldview where airplanes and spaceships do not exist, this item is a great leap forward for mankind.
I felt a slight pang of conscience as to whether I, a mere stranger, could enjoy this first moment.
“Are you really giving this to me?”
“Unless you refuse, it is yours from now on.”
The old man looked at me and smiled kindly.
“I will take it. And I will make sure you pay a fair price.”
“A fair price? “Even if I gave you the whole world, it would be impossible.”
“That’s right, but… … .”
“Now that this child has found a good owner, the last thing I want to do is see him. “How wonderful my life’s long-cherished wish was.”
“Let me show you. “What the old man dreamed of.”
We looked at each other and nodded.
And the old man personally attached Theia’s wings to my shoulder.
It feels as if it has become one body with me, and I don’t feel any foreignness at all.
[You have become a user of Theia’s Wings.]
[It belongs to the user and cannot be transferred.]
– Grade: Legendary
– Effect: You can fly in the sky by infusing magic into Theia’s wings. Various flying techniques are possible depending on the user’s skill level. When not in use, it can be absorbed into the body.
“Now I have no time to die even if I die!”
“I will take care of it and come back. “Elderly.”
Since I couldn’t delay any longer, I immediately infused magical power into the wings.
I feel floating and my body really floats into the sky.
“like… … Hoyoung hyung!”
“manager!!”
I immediately loaded a volley of mana into the red-flame fire goblin.
It’s finally time to hunt.
* * *
A flying skill that I am not yet good at.
Although it couldn’t fly and perform flashy tricks like the Flying Ogres, it was enough to close the distance between them.
Taaaaaang-
Mana’s bullet flew and punched a hole in one of the ogre’s wings.
The guy who lost his balance stumbled,
Taaaaaang-
He gets hit again and falls immediately.
KEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
It looks like he’s still alive, but it’s as if his life is over anyway.
It falls on the floor and turns into a whole barbecue,
Either get hit by Kim Se-yong’s wind and die,
Either that or be torn to pieces by Lloyd’s sword.
Only the process is different, but in the end, you will reach the conclusion that it is the same.

Anyway, this is the eleventh.
Now only one last one remains.
What are your impressions of using Theia’s wings so far?
‘So good!’
First of all, I liked that it didn’t consume a lot of magical power.
I don’t know what would happen during high-speed or long-distance flight, but simply floating in the air and flying at low speed did not consume much horsepower.
I’m not good at directional control yet, but I didn’t have much trouble hunting.
That old blacksmith created something incredible.
‘… … ‘Is this the authority of the 27th floor monarch?’
The old man clearly muttered that.
Looking up at the sky, he said, ‘The Great One.’
I don’t know what happened, but this item ended up in my hands and will be very useful in the future.
Now that I was flying in the sky, I felt as if I had become a master or a blood demon.
Two superhumans who were human yet transcended humanity.
There was still a long way to go to reach their level, but it seemed like we were getting closer little by little.
As a commemoration of thinking about the two of you for the first time in a long time, it would be nice to get rid of the last remaining ogre with ‘swordsmanship’.
Taaaaaang-
It was still too much.
It is not enough to practice swordsmanship far away from the ground like them.
Still, I was satisfied.
The bullet just fired caused a critical explosion and pierced the Flying Ogre’s head with a single shot.
[The gate has been cleared.]
[The barrier disappears.]
For some reason, even the huge fire that was covering Daren Village disappeared.
[Favorability has increased by 20.]
[Likeability: 43]
[The remaining time on the 27th floor is 48 hours.]
uh?
The end is finally in sight.
* * *
The top floor of the Red Wolves, the Master’s office.
There, I had a cup of tea with Yuna.
“Take this first.”
Yuna handed me an envelope.
“What is it? this?”
“It’s Geumilbong. “With this gate incident, our guild made a lot of money.”
I also heard about the auction.
Flying Ogre.
I heard that a nobleman who owns a research institute swept up the carcass of this rare species, which appeared for the first time in history, by paying the highest price in auction history.
“I did what I had to do as a hunter in my organization.”
“Don’t do that, just put it away. If you look at the gate report, it was a gate that could never have been cleared if it weren’t for you.”
“Actually, the old blacksmith was more decisive than me. Those items are exquisitely prepared, as if they were prepared… … .”
“Well, as you requested, I sent someone to compensate the old man, but a problem arose.”
“Problem?”
“Uh, I heard that the old man disappeared without a trace, but I don’t know if this makes sense. “I heard that the entire inside of the blacksmith shop evaporated.”
“yes?”
I felt it back then, too, but he wasn’t an ordinary old man.
I should have asked right away.
Do you really know about the existence of the monarch?
“By the way, Team Leader Hoyoung Lee.”
“Yes, Master.”
“It’s going to last our whole lives.”
Yuna came in out of nowhere.
“You should turn on the blinker.”
“You turned it on. There’s Geumilbong Peak. “Aren’t you going to open it?”
It’s meaningless money to me.
Now the 27th floor is coming to an end.
“yes. I don’t know how much you put in, but I will donate this money. “To the disaster assistance center.”
“what? Does that mean you won’t spend your life with me? And are you really not going to open the envelope? “There’s an offer you can’t refuse!”
It’s going to disappear soon, let alone forever.
There is only one mission left for me.
You already know what will happen through the strategy book.
“I will never go to another guild.”
“I will believe that. ah! “I think I’ll feel safer if I get this memorandum.”
“I’ll write about that later. Let’s have some tea.”
“okay. “Kkkkkk.”
The way Yuna looks at me seems like honey dripping from it.
If I disappeared like smoke, would you be heartbroken?
I don’t know.
Now I am becoming numb to all the goodbyes.
* * *
“Ah, that’s a shame.”
Kim Se-yong’s expression looked truly regretful.
[Remaining time: 8 hours]
“why? “You don’t want to finish the 27th floor?”
“of course. I have to leave this wonderful mansion behind. And the food here was delicious too.”
But there is something else that this guy really regrets.
Perks enjoyed on the 27th floor.
The buff was always attached as standard, two new skills were gained, and the magic power increased surprisingly.
Even if I were Kim Se-yong, I would want to go with a little more courage.
‘Still, I was the one who got something bigger at the end.’
Theia’s wings.
This is an item that cannot be exchanged even if Kim Se-yong gives him everything he obtained on the 27th floor.
“But bro, if I continue like this for 8 hours, will the 27th floor just end?”
“Is that possible?”
This guy doesn’t know too much about the tower.
After being treated like that.
“Then, no way… … .”
“Oh, I guess I’ll have something big ready.”
“Wow, listening to you talk makes me lose my appetite.”
“Eat a lot. “Just as you say, this luxurious mansion and the delicious food will come to an end.”
Kim Se-yong had been sitting at the table, cooking food for two hours.
They are appeasing their empty hearts with the news that the 27th floor is ending.
“But bro, what are you writing on the paper earlier?”
“I’m not writing, I’m drawing.”
I was sitting on the sofa and drawing.
Although I am dexterous, drawing portraits is not as easy as I thought.
“Drawing? what?”
“your face. “I have someone to give this to.”
Thinking about Lloyd, I suddenly feel bad.
As a team leader, it feels like I’m leaving irresponsibly, leaving my team members behind.
So, one last time, I wanted to do something for this guy.
I plan to seriously recommend plastic surgery, at least through a letter.
A portrait of face genius Kim Se-yong is enclosed.
The effect will be certain.
* * *
27th floor. The last survival mission here was not through the gate.
A gigantic power that could not even be compared to the gate was unleashed throughout the world.
[Success in survival.]
[Remaining time: 6 hours]
A huge eye appeared in the sky.
I don’t know whose eyes those are.
However, every time that giant eye looking down at us blinked, monsters poured into this world.
An unprecedented disaster.
The world was instantly filled with chaos.
Jiiiing!
The air was torn apart, and a monster appeared in our mansion.
“brother!”
“uh. “It has finally begun.”
I already knew what was going to happen.
Actually, my mind is complicated.
A strange world on the 27th floor.
This was a relatively peaceful place until it became a stage for us players.
Monsters existed, but they mainly ran rampant inside the barrier, and gate runaways were also a very rare phenomenon.
However, the world changed with our appearance, and soon monsters began to appear simultaneously throughout the world.
Of course, it’s not our players’ fault.
Because the players are the biggest victims of this damn tower.
It just reminded me of the Earth we used to live on.
Our hometown, which was peaceful and one day, suddenly came to an end, something we long for.
The appearance of the Earth only briefly overlapped with this place.
“Seyong, let’s go.”
“You’re going? “Where?”
Unlike Earth, there is a way here.
I called up the message in the strategy book once again.
