Episode 226 – 2nd Floor
Finally, everyone, including Jasangnam and Scarlett, came up to the 1.5Th floor, and the operation briefing could finally begin in earnest.
“I repeat, combat must be avoided as much as possible. “If you make a mistake and cause a commotion, all the monsters on the second floor will flock and you will be in trouble.”
Everyone nods their heads at what I say. Except for one person. It was obvious that if I left it alone, there would be a big accident, so I deliberately pointed at him for emphasis.
“Mr. Ja Sangnam. “You understand, right?”
“… Okay.”
For some reason, he had become a fighting race, and he didn’t seem to be happy about the fact that he had to avoid battles as much as possible.
“Anyway, after the second floor, you’ll have to keep fighting even if you don’t want to fight.”
“Hmm.”
When I told him that he would have to fight hard again from the 3rd floor, he seemed to feel a little relieved right away, crossing his arms and nodding slightly.
‘It’s really simple.’
It’s a bit hard to say this, but in fact, isn’t Sangnam’s brain made up only of muscles? I had that thought too.

After taking a short break, we entered the second floor.
And as expected, colleagues who did not betray my expectations.
“Oh.”
No matter how quiet you are, you can’t just leave all the monsters lying around in the sky alone.
The monsters in the direction you are going must be dealt with.
So… As quietly as possible. This means that he must be assassinated.
It was okay at first. Dina used magic to deal with the monster before it even got close to it.
However, Dina cannot rely on just one person and she has to constantly take care of her condition and stamina, so the problem started when she started taking turns.
“Smash! Sorry!”
The first mistake came from Scarlett.
Because the monster could not be killed with a single blow, the monster screamed, and the surrounding monsters began to flock in.
If we didn’t deal with it quickly, the commotion would grow, and if we did that, there would be an endless influx of monsters, so me and Dina quickly took action to deal with the monsters around us.
Soon after, Sangnam Ja and Sely made their second and third mistakes in succession, and a sense of crisis began to arise.
And the fourth and final mistake came from an unexpected person.
“Ah, sorry.”
Stia shattered the monster in one go, and the flesh flew to the surrounding monsters, instantly escalating the situation.
The number of monsters stimulated by the flesh was only five.
However, if four of them are screaming and summoning monsters, things are different.
In an instant, the sound of waves of monsters rushing in is heard from all directions.
“… “Bounce!”
There is no way to handle this quickly.
The only way to save stamina is to break one point. Rather than dealing with all the monsters, you have no choice but to get out of this place as quickly as possible, deal with the boss, and move on to the next floor.
There was a very big problem of not knowing the location of the boss, but it runs anyway. Run and see
“Ugh….”
I started running, screaming as low as I could for fear of inviting more monsters.
From this moment on, you can’t worry about your physical strength. Start by attacking those who can afford it, deal with the monsters in front of you, and then run blindly until the boss appears.
Fortunately, I had been briefed in advance on how to respond if a commotion broke out on the 1.5Th floor, so everyone is steadily following behind me.
‘Please, I hope we can find the boss as quickly as possible….’
*
“Huh… Huh… Omg…. Hmm… ….”
After running non-stop for 45 minutes, I was able to arrive at the boss.
You may ask why so-called superhumans get tired after running for only 45 minutes.
… Of course, a superman does not get tired easily even if he runs. But aren’t things different now?
If you run at the speed of an ordinary human, an athlete, or a car, you can keep running for days….
We kept running at the maximum speed we could achieve! To use a metaphor, it means that it was racing like crazy at a speed similar to or faster than that of an airplane!
No matter how superhuman you are, you cannot just run for hours at a full sprint.
Why is sprinting called sprinting? If you run with all your strength, it’s like a full sprint.
Rather, I would like to praise you for running for 45 minutes.
Anyway, we were so exhausted that there was nothing to see.
“I’m dead!”
They rushed in like crazy people and slaughtered the boss monster.
… FYI, die! The person who shouted was Dinah. It’s my first time seeing something like that, so it’s a little… No, it was very surprising.
Because the situation was so urgent, I couldn’t even think about using magic to fly and ended up running on my own two legs, so I must have been irritated.
Dina’s physical abilities are much lacking compared to her magic skills, so she must have been more tired and had a harder time than us. It was almost annoying.
‘Thanks to you, I was able to slaughter the boss in less than 5 minutes.’
I couldn’t figure out if I should like it.
That’s how we arrived at the 2.5Th floor.
In a resting area that looked similar to the 1.5Th floor, Stia suddenly spoke.
“Uh. “I think we set the best record.”
“… Best record?”
“Yes. “At least among the records that remain, the fastest I cleared was 3 hours, 14 minutes and 26 seconds.”
“How long did it take us?”
“1 Hour 47 minutes 12 seconds.”
“Oh… ….”
I suddenly felt like all the accumulated fatigue had completely disappeared.
Originally, a man is a creature with a desire to compete and a desire to show off.
But, even though I didn’t mean to, the record I set is the world’s highest record?
‘It’s a lifelong treasure.’
So, it is a useful snack after defeating the demon god and saving the world.
Moreover, I guess I wasn’t the only one who felt energized after hearing those words, as Scarlett and Jasangnam were making a fuss and were happy.
Even Seria likes Celie, smiling brightly and chatting with her.

Only Dina was still pouting with a sullen expression on her face.
Even if you were number 1 in the world, would you really like it that much? An expression that thinks so.
Ha, indeed! Okay! You may not be impressed because you have the best beauty in the world!
It’s so pretty!
… I really hope so. What would it be like to live with a face like that?
‘Oops. ‘I need to come to my senses.’
If these thoughts fall into the samcheonpo, there is no end to them. I quickly came to my senses and looked around.
Fortunately, no one was left behind.
The situation was so urgent that even if one person fell while running, it would not be noticed.
‘If you set the fastest record, you set it.’
It feels good, but there is something I need to take care of first.
To put it positively, I’ve already cleared the second floor, but to put it on the other hand, I haven’t cleared the second floor yet, and there’s still a lot more to go.
The tower has up to 15 floors.
You still have to go through many trials, and up to the third floor is like a tutorial.
‘Well, with our skills, we should be able to easily clear up to the 12th floor.’
It is not arrogance or arrogance. That’s the reality. I usually don’t show it, but Stia, me, and Dina have the specs to be called the strongest, except for the Demon Lord, Demon God, and Four Heavenly Kings.
Other colleagues have skills that are just as good as his. Rather, it would be strange if you couldn’t easily get to the 12th floor.
Okay, then shall we start in spurts and go up quickly?
“Shall we go straight to the third floor?”
“Siwoo? “What did you say just now?”
“Ugh… Nothing. Everyone, rest comfortably! “Let’s rest a bit and then go up.”
Please stop looking at me like that.
Dina was glaring at me with terrifying force, so I decided to go up after taking a short break.
When I looked at her with those eyes, the person I used to be when I was afraid of Dina came out.
It’s really scary!
As soon as the word “Rest” Is given, everyone falls down in their seats.
Then, each person takes out a simple meal from their subspace bracelet and begins to eat.
Hmmm. You need to eat well to gain strength. Everyone is going to have a hard time from now on, so it would be good to eat a lot.
Meanwhile, Kania slinked towards me without taking out anything to eat.
It was clear that he was after my blood, so he blocked Kania before she could say anything.
“Not today.”
“… Why?”
“You always eat too much. “It takes a long time to recover from that.”
“You just need to rest a little more.”
“It’s such a waste of time. “Our goal is to conquer the Tower of Babel as quickly as possible.”
“… “I’ll just eat a little bit.”
He gave me a somewhat pitiful look, as if asking if it was still okay.
It’s a little difficult to refuse in this situation….
When I glanced at Dina, Dina seemed to be giving her permission even though she didn’t like it.
She probably spent the last hour sparring, and as a result, she understands that Cania will become stronger by drinking my blood.
“… “Just a little bit.”
“Yes. Just a little bit.”
I had no choice but to roll up her arms.
Since she couldn’t give away her neck while Dina was watching, she tended to give up her arms when she was sucking blood lately.
Kania held my arm with her satisfied smile and slowly sank her teeth into my arm.
“Kwaang!”
Just drink a little!
