Chapter 172

172. The end of the world (1)

The next evening.

I was sitting on a bench in the square on the second floor.

The heroes who came and went near the square looked at me with strange eyes and passed me by, but I didn’t care.

[It’s almost time to come...]

Issel next to him flapped his wings impatiently.

A rainbow-colored stone was clutched in his hand, and a white band with the words ‘Successful wishes!’ written on his forehead was wrapped around his forehead.

[You can’t fail, you can’t, you can’t...]

Issel closed his eyes tightly.

I want why are you mad I looked up. Dark shadows hung like clouds in the sky.

‘From 4 stars...’

There is a chance of failure.

Chances are low. Less than 1% even if you set it high.

But the odds were definitely there.

“Don’t worry. You will succeed unconditionally.”

[But.]

“A clumsy guy gets caught.”

If a hero has grown normally, he cannot fail.

[Welcome to Pick Me Up!]

Amkena’s connection message came to mind.

I log in at the exact time every time.

I mean, I like it.

[Loading has finished.]

[TOUCH ! (optional)]

[New World Raid! Prepare for the seventh season!]

[If you miss it, Stupit! Great fun! The reward is double great!]

[Everyone, you’ve waited a long time. The opening of the festival of all masters is imminent!]

[In particular, the fact that there are huge rewards that masters can’t help but drool at this Festa! do you want me to tell you? Iridescent Advent Stone for S-rank engraving. And 5 stars... Hmmmm I’ll stop here. A second notice will be released soon. Check here for details!]

[Information on sales of the 7th Festa commemorative package]

[Secondary compensation for frequent server errors]

‘Is the 7th season already here?’

There’s still a lot left to open.

There is something more urgent than that now. You can take care of the content of the notice later.

Amkena skipped the announcement and entered the main screen.

[There is a hero waiting for a master promotion!]

[A hero that can be promoted – ‘Han(★★★)’. ‘Jenna(★★★)’ ‘Belquist(★★★)’]

A green notification window appeared at the bottom of the screen.

Amkenna went straight into the hero box. The list of possessed heroes is listed left and right.

[Come!]

Isel trembled as if struck by lightning.

[Master promotion begins!]

[Target hero – ‘Han(★★★)’]

[Promote the hero to 4 stars. Promotion can fail with a low probability, and if it fails, the hero will fall into a ‘contaminated’ state. Do you want to try?]

[Yes / No]

[Tips/There is a chance of failure starting from 4-star promotion. Heroes who failed to upgrade are contaminated, and heroes in this state lose their reason and run amok.]

Amkena was briefly troubled.

He seemed to hesitate at the warning message that he was failing.

I guess so. Contaminated heroes are unusable. have to throw it away

Looking at the hesitant Amkena, I thought strongly.

‘do it.’

[Party 1 leader ‘Han(★★★)’ requests a promotion.]

And.

[Yes (optional) / No]

Rumble.

The door to the synthesis was opened.

There was a lift station installed inside it. I stood up after accepting the upgrade seat that Issel handed over to me with trembling hands. Issel looked at me and clenched his fists.

[go for it! You can’t lose!]

“Thank you so much.”

I smiled and headed to the synthetic lab.

Originally, Jenna and Belquist should also be here.

‘I could only make one.’

About 50% chance of failing 10 or more times.

Only one upgrade stone was created. what can i do have to put it back together

The members of the other 1st party were rolling around in the dungeon for the current day.

I have to tell you my impressions after it’s over.

I placed a rainbow-colored stone on the altar at the training center.

Magical threads like spider webs rose from the altar and wrapped around the stone, and at the same time, the magic circle under the altar began to glow purple.

‘It begins.’

Whoops.

‘...?’

I looked down at the belt.

The Bifrost inside the scabbard was vibrating.

Before I even questioned it, a flash of light emanating from the magic circle enveloped me.

when you open your eyes again

[Dimension 0000 – Taoni]

As expected, I was thrown into a strange space.

I looked up first. Pale purple sky. Huge pieces of glass slowly rotate and float. The view beyond was shrouded in darkness.

‘Ehh.’

I sighed and lowered my gaze.

The man sitting to the left of the young man said.

He was wearing a brightly padded red coat.

[Halgion’s family head]

[Ricardo Von Halgiraff Lv.???]

‘Huh?’

That guy...

I recalled his identity from vague memories.

‘That guy!’

Black Dragon, the boss of the 20th floor.

It was clearly what he looked like when he was human.

The actual encounter lasted less than a minute, but the image was clearly etched in my mind.

I quickly scanned the table.

[Halgion’s family head]

[Stenberg’s family head]

[Lantia’s family head]

“Why didn’t Asinis come? He must have called.”

At the young man’s words, the woman in a navy blue robe lowered her eyes.

“I promise to fight until the end.”

“At the end... wouldn’t it be nice to be together. It’s a dinner for that.”

“If you give an order, even by force...”

“Okay. If death on the battlefield is their pride, let’s respect it.”

The young man smiled softly.

Those golden eyes glanced over the table once.

To the three patriarchs and the figures sitting beyond them.

“Guardians of the continent.”

The young man continued to speak as if he were singing.

“You’ve worked hard so far. I won’t forget your hard work. At one time, we risked the fate of each race and shed blood. But this time, this time... we were able to become one. Thank you.”

The young man bowed his head.

“Kekkeke! Shiny human! It was fun fighting together!”

[Magic Investigator]

[Krushach Lv.???]

“Sorry!

“No. Your invention was really scary.”

“Huh, thank you for acknowledging it.”

The Lizardman showed this and laughed.

That guy...

‘The 30th floor.’

He was the one who controlled the giant golem.

“I didn’t expect to fight on land in my life. But it was a pleasant experience. It spurred me on for a long time.”

“I would also like to express my gratitude to the water dragon clan.”

“Heh heh, going anyway.”

The blue-haired old man laughed blankly.

[God Dragon]

[Ktaart Lv.???]

‘What is it?’

[Beast King]

[Kiadni Lv.???]

A middle-aged man with tiger ears waved his mottled tail.

The man had a smile on his face with his fangs exposed.

“We fought hard. It was fun!”

“thank you.”

The young man’s gaze looked at the corner of the table this time.

A group of people wearing wide robes and silver armor stood there. A cross pattern with wings on a silver background. I’ve seen it several times. It was the pattern of the Goddess Church.

[Saint of

Blindness ]

[

...under.’

“The church also worked hard. Although we couldn’t get help from the goddess, thanks to your faith, we couldn’t lose our pride until the end.”

“Nothing. I’m just sorry.”

The girl in the white robe smiled with her eyes closed.

“Thank you to the Order and Holy Knights. We will not forget.”

The knights all bowed their heads to the young man.

“Now! This is the Last Supper. In the meantime, our Taoniers have shed countless blood as they were divided into different races and ideologies. But this time, we were able to become one.”

“...”

“In the end, we lost. Now our homeland will be burned, and we will disappear into the dust of history. Or, the Taoni language itself may perish. But we... we ... did her best.”

The young man raised the golden cup.

I smiled.

I seemed to know now.

Where is this place.

what are you trying to show me

‘It’s the past.’

Before Pick Me Up was created.

It was the scenery right before the destruction of Taoni.

And only one when everyone here is smiling contentedly.

There was a girl who was holding back her tears and biting her lip in anger.

[The 2nd Heir to the Throne]

[Priasis Al Ragna Lv.???]
