Chapter 72 - The first floor (4) (1/2)
Chapter 72 The first floor (4)
The players looked at each other for a moment
A team of a hundred players
It seemed like a lot of people, but in reality, it wasn’t
If soht now, he or she would have to play a leading role for the rest of this floor’s trial
Most players had already beco their stay in the waiting zone, and quite a few of the the role
“I’ll take them”
A man in red leather armor stepped forward under everyone’s attention
But when Aaron was about to hand over the crystals,
“Hold on”
Phante stood between the two of them
“What is it?”
The htly irritated face
“I don’t ree of anger
“Does it matter who takes them? We’ll decide where to hide after I…”
“Actually, it does Because I’ to take all five of them with me”
The man’s face crumpled like a sheet of paper
“That’s nonsense!’
“You think it’s better to hide the you who thinks they can protect the crystals better than lance around him
The players flinched and turned their heads in order to avoid his eyes
Phante then looked back at thethere was no one denying his arguued back
“Don’t you even feel ashamed of yourself? It was because of you that our crystals were shattered last round It was because of your Godda as if to support hiue as he watched their quarrel from the back
‘So that’s what happened’
He had an idea of what had happened in the previous round
Leaving important items to someone else? Phante didn’t have that kind of personality
Such an important role could only be taken by hih he was such a difficult person to get along with, it shouldn’t have been a proble
In the world of The Tower, ‘poas a priceless treasure that would ht is right That sentence had always been true in The Tower
And Edora shared the same opinion
Unlike the simple and selfish Phante, she certainly was a rational and reasonable person And that was exactly why she didn’t stop Phante despite his violence
Because, even by her judg the crystals was the safest option
Nowith players of average level Their fists wouldn’t be able to brush past Phante’s collar even if they flocked in all at once
Therefore, it was the correct judgment to leave all the crystals with Phante
But if there was any probleone on a rae last time, you wouldn’t have broken all the crystals by yourself Then ould have… at least had a chance So I can’t let you take the crystals this time!”
It was that Phante was a little bit too careless
Yeon-woo al when he heard the man
He couldn’t believe it was none other than Phante who had led his teah he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he felt like the scene of the previous round was playing in his head like a video
He i the players down one by one with his overwhel power
The players on the other teaht it to be a lost battle
But the e notifying thehtened’
Yeon-woo presumed that the man couldn’t trust Phante because of that incident
But Phante was not a person ould listen to so he just had to avoid repeating the same mistake
“So? Do you want to sort it out my way?”
Phante rolled up his sleeves and posed as if he were going to fight them
The players’ face turned pale as they felt Phante’s ferocious aura
The players standing behind the man pulled him by his clothes and shook their heads
In the end, the ritted his teeth Veins popped out froer
Even then, Edora stood a step away fro
She only watched the situation while holding her sword in her arms, just like how she had been when Yeon-woo first saw her in Section G
Phante then put on a smile of victory and reached out his hand to Aaron
“Seeood luck”
Aaron handed all five blue crystals over to Phante Then, he stepped into the portal on the floor and onna be different this time”
It seemed like Phante hadn’t come up with any particular plan to protect the crystals He was just busy fidgeting with the five crystals like a child playing with toys
‘What an asshole’
The players’ face stiffened at his actions
But the moment Phante was about to put the crystals in his pocket, Yeon-ho had been watching the situation, stepped forward
Phante noticed Yeon-alking up to him and stared at Yeon-ith a puzzled expression
And when Yeon-woo arrived in front of him, he suddenly shot his hand out
“Hand them over All of them”
Aaron teleported to a different area through the portal
A place where all the Guardians of the 99 floors congregated It was the Guardians’ chambers
In that place, there were a nu around the rooainst the walls displaying the situations of each floor in real-time
“Ohyohyo Are you back already?”
Then, someone spoke to Aaron from behind his back
When he looked back, there stood a Goblin that only reached around Aaron’s waistline in height
It was Yvlke
Aaron silently nodded
His attitude toward Yvlke was very polite
It was because they weren’t in the same position
As a matter of fact, not all Guardians were the same There were several Guardians appointed to different jobs even within a single floor
Those who e of the rewards, those who took care of other uardians had positions according to their job just like in a corporation on Earth
And the Guardians who possessed the highest position in each floor were the directors of the trials
As far as what the system allowed, they could exert their power over the players on the floor they ed
They could even dominate players on the level of Lords if necessary But of course, the system would penalize the Guardians if they made direct intervention
So, it could be said that Aaron, as the director of the second floor, was also in one of the top positions
But Yvlke was in a position where even Aaron had to be careful around
Because Yvlke was one of the leaders of all the Guardians, also known as the Twelve Zodiacs
