Chapter 351: Ironshield
When the space shattered, Gi-Gyu found himself on the 79th floor of the Tower.
[You have entered the 79th floor.]
As usual, Gaias voice rang in his ears. This was a normal occurrence whenever a player entered a new floor.
Gaia. Gi-Gyu thought about her, certain that she had summoned him in the dimensional gap.
Was she asking for help? Only Gi-Gyu had entered the space, and the Angel Guild members had been transferred to the next floor.
I think I get it now. He realized that something was wrong with Gaia.
But why? She was a God-like existence. She may have been exiled to the Tower, forced to maintain it forever, but she had stolen Gods power and had embraced Chaos. Using her unimaginable power, she had given humans the ability to fight monsters.
This isnt the time to be thinking about these things. Gi-Gyu stopped his train of thought. He was here for a particular reason, so he had no time to waste when he was already late enough.
I guess its over there. The first group Gi-Gyu found was the Angela Guild players.
Deputy guild master!
Please wake up!
Keep supplying magic!
We must survive!
The Angela Guild members screamed.
***
Where are we? Kang Ji-Hee looked around and asked. A moment ago, that monstrous man had solved the door-blocked problem by simply destroying the door. And since they had the same goal, they had then jumped into the exposed entrance.
They needed to get to the next floor.
But when they arrived, the Angela Guild players couldnt hide their fear, confusion, and despair.
Deputy guild master one male player whispered. Is this really the 79th floor?
Everyone gaped in shock.
Kang Ji-Hee muttered, This doesnt make sense
Unlike what was known to the world, the Angela Guild had successfully conquered many of the higher Tower floors. Not just that, but they often crossed the 79th floor to deliver supplies to the two deputies and the White Warriors. So they knew the 79th floor very well.
Put up your barriers! Kang Ji-Hee yelled. This floor didnt look like the 79th floor they frequented. Their experience told them that this was a dangerous place.
What happened here?! Kang Ji-Hee wondered out loud. Since the barriers were now active, she could study her surroundings. The black fires around them died down.
Is this really possible? one of the players whispered. All of them were thinking the same thing.
I dont know, Kang Ji-Hee thought in despair. She didnt have any answers for her fellow guild members.
The players began shouting desperately.
The 79th floor is collapsing
Its hard enough just standing here. The pressure is too much!
All of us are losing our stamina!
The barrier isnt going to last!
The ground underneath was caving but not from an earthquake.
Lets move out! she ordered.
***
I cant abandon the Angela Guild. Gi-Gyu decided. Kang Ji-Hee and the Angela Guild players were a burden to him. If he abandoned them, they would die eventually. But he refused to do this for one reason.
I need to meet Lee Sun-Ho. Gi-Gyu kept them safe because only they could lead him to Lee Sun-Ho. Gi-Gyu couldve read their minds after forcing them to sync with him.
But something feels unstable. The power Lee Sun-Ho held was a mystery. Harming his guild members before a big upcoming battle was an unnecessary risk. Gi-Gyu decided to get the necessary information from them after resolving the current situation.
And Ill keep taking them with me, or Ill sync with them if necessary. It would all depend on the level of the Angela Guild members cooperativeness.
Lee Sun-Ho is an important piece of the puzzle. Gi-Gyu felt sure that the change in the Tower and Gaia had something to do with Lee Sun-Ho.
But even more importantly This place is really collapsing. Thanks to Hermes, Gi-Gyu flew faster than modern airplanes that ran on magic crystals. Still, the explosions seemed far away.
Kaboom!
He had refused to look confused in front of Kang Ji-Hee and the others, but he was actually having difficulty understanding the current situation. This was his first time on the 79th floor, but he could sense something was wrong. After all, a certain energy occupied every floor of the Tower, but that energy was very subtle here.
Instead, its filled with Chaos. Gi-Gyu was surprised by the amount of Chaos here. He had never seen a floor like this in the Tower; he got a strong feeling that something was devouring this entire floor.
Gi-Gyu could come up with one explanation.
It might be Ironshield. Gi-Gyu had been told that Ironshield had gained the ability to prey on anything. Since Ironshield had been spotted on this floor, the current strange situation must be connected to him somehow.
Gi-Gyu felt a little nervous, but at the same time, he was grateful to his synced creatures. He was especially thankful to Hal, the head of the Drake-Knight Order. Gi-Gyu could feel that they had gotten stronger and were fighting bravely.
As Gi-Gyu sprinted forward, all he saw was terrible destruction around him. This couldnt have been just Ironshields doing. This must have happened due to Ironshields fight with the unknown player.
Kwerrrk! Suddenly, Gi-Gyu heard a monstrous roar. He knew that he was getting close. He didnt stop or slow down, even when he caught a glimpse of a few familiar figures.
All he did was put his intense emotions in his fist and rush toward the battlefield of dragons, knights, and a giant.
Kwerrrk! The giant swatted the powerful dragons as if they were flies. But the knights didnt cower away. It appeared that they were protecting someone because they swarmed toward the giant, who was so much bigger.
The dragons kept falling to the ground from being slapped by the giant, but the head of the order commanded, Get up! Our master gave you more power than you think!
Yaaahhhh! The knights and the dragons rose again with a yell to fight the giant. They jumped into fires and Chaos without fear.
Just then, the man who looked like the head of all knights pulled the reins of his black dragon and screamed, Grandmaster!
Kaboom!
A loud explosion occurred, and the dragons and the knights became silent. In front of them stood Gi-Gyu, who was covered in the mangled flesh of the giant. Gi-Gyu announced, Sorry Im late.
Kyaaaaa! This time, the scream didnt come from the knights or the dragonsit came from the giant. It was big enough to bring about the apocalypse, but it now had a huge hole in its chest because of Gi-Gyus attack.
Grandmaster! We have been waiting for you, Hal replied.
Good job, Hal. Gi-Gyu stood next to Hal.
The Dark Dragon was trembling in fear of Gi-Gyu, who was unintentionally emitting bloodthirst. It didnt fear the giant, but it obviously felt intimidated by Gi-Gyu.
Hal.
Grandmaster. I am at your command, Hal knelt and replied. Meanwhile, the giant was thumping its chest as if in pain. But the giant appeared to have a fantastic regeneration power because the hole in its chest was already healing.
Watching the giant, Gi-Gyu said seriously, Your horse I mean drakeNo, I mean
Gi-Gyu stuttered for a while, but in the end, he grinned and ordered, Im borrowing your dragon.
...! Before Hal could answer, Gi-Gyu grabbed Dark Dragons reins.
