Chapter 496 (1/2)
17-9 Purple Towers (1)
Satou here Talking about a gae tower, it rened after Babylonian ame sure was fun with its combination of RPG and Puzzle elements
“Please wait a moment!”
The one who called and stopped me was a bespectacled man called Runner-up
“You'll need a guide if you want to explore inside, won't you? As an associate researcher of Royal Research Institute, I volunteer to take that role”
“No need”
I've got Map anyway and I just can see this guy wandering off by himself if I take him inside
“Right right, no need for that with us around”
“Sorry, but Arisa and duchess, you stay here”
“Nyooo~”
Arisa fell down on all four like orz
『It's a good idea to have Arisa whoet in touch with the king outside just in case so happens inside』
I talked to the three with Tactical Talk
“Then, please at least allow on inside”
I gave an affirmation to Zensan who volunteered
I asked Arisa to gather the girls here and went inside the tower along with Zensan
“What a huge place”
“Yes, and that pillar over there seems to be the stairway”
This place does fit the descriptions I heard beforehand
My Map displays [Purple Tower, 1F]
I tried using All Map Exploration, but it was only effective for this floor
Second floor and above are apparently treated as different maps Curious
There's no enemy nor anyone left behind on this floor so we climb up the spiral staircase inside the pillar
The ot out of the spiral staircase Looks like we're on floor 2 now
–Hm?
The second floor is displayed as [Purple Tower, 2F-I]
Don't tell et to different maps with each staircases
“Satou-san, I found a trace of blood!”
There's a trail of blood in the two-e
I stop Zensan as going to follow after the blood trail and use All Map Exploration
This floor is far bigger than the first Total area is about as big as the royal capital
Moreover,eon RPGs
“There they are”
There are four survivors Three soldiers and one researcher
This floor is inhabited by a lot of level 1-4 [De around the mazes alone
They don't have any skill, but they've got this o [Demon God Protection] on them
So this tower is related to demon God after all
Together with Zensan, I headed to the spot where the survivors were according to All Map Exploration
We found two dead bodies along the way so I secured thee
“Satou-san!”
We encountered a [Dee
Zensan rushed ahead and slashed at it with her short sithout the need for my help
“It's gone?”
The Deuard whose head was cut off by Zensan vanished into purple mist
Clank, a sic core dropped on the floor
According to AR reading it's called a [Fragic Core]
“Is there so?”
Zensan looked like she had souard, hence I asked her
“It kind of felt like I was facing off against an ogre instead of a goblin”
Unbelievable sturdiness for a level 2 deoblin
I tried killing a level 4 de the way
I couldn't really gauge its strength, but a uard's body, a purple barrier showed up and broke apart, average soldiers would have a hard tiainst them
It's probably the [Demon God Protection]
Another Deuard we beat also disappeared into purple ic core
I was alate further but since the condition of people we needed to rescue were looking bad, I got a lock on all the Deuards in the way there on the Map and killed them all at once with [Remote Arrows]
The rescuees were staying in a small room at a dead end
There were lots of nailto the small room
“Our rescue is here!”
“It's the demon lord slayer! The demon lord slayer has come to save us!”
“Oy, you idiot, mind your manners!”
“Our apologies your excellency We're truly thankful for your aid”
The soldiers raised a cheer ent inside
The soldier who scolded his subordinates looked glad as well
“Your excellency, do you have a recovery potion with you?”
A soldier with bandage wrapped on his ar in the back
“Don't worry, his life is not in danger Zensan, if you would healing ic”
“Yes! ■■■……」
I asked the bandaged soldier their circu the spell
According to him, when they came back to fetch new recruits ere left behind, two soldiers fell victiave up trying to get back to the staircase and hid here
“How strong are those goblins in your opinion?”
“They are at least stronger than full plated knights-sama”
These soldiers are level 7-9 with common soldier equipment
Even including new recruits, five of theuards are unusual
The effect of [Deuards have h
“I'et away”
“When all seeoblins flinch and stop ”
“And we ed to flee thanks to that”
Are they weak against prayers to Gods?
Well, I can check it out later
We brought the treated soldiers who could walk again with us and got out of the tower
“Good work out there Quite a weird tower this turned out to be huh”
“I've informed Sete already He requested 『Deation”
“And I've left a oya Firm”
I thanked Arisa and Hikaru and contacted each branch heads of Echigoya Firh [Telephone] to tell them not to enter the Purple Towers
Meanwhile, the girls arrived and caether one after another
“Satou-san! I can't believe you went ahead here and left me behind!”
“I'm sorry about that Sersan”
I whispered to Sersan that I got
“H-hoas it like? Were Gods as divine as they would be? Hoas Tenion-sama like?”
Sera vigorously drew closer to me
She almost pushed me doith her momentum
“Muuu, guilty”
“Ah hey! I get how you feel, but no getting a head start!”
Mia and Arisa, the inable fortress pair tore Sera off me
Oh right, Mia and Nana have also got before I realized
“Satou-san, please tell me!”
“It was an incredible place filled with lights”
Since Sera had broken through the ionna push ain, I told her hoas like briefly
“Did you ask about the extent of taboo?”
“Yep, down to the last details The scope was just as we expected Apparently printing techs are safe too”
“For real?! Yay! Gotta go ! Think we'd need a resale system~?”
“We can think about that leisurely later”
I told the two excited girls that I'd inforon Continent to fetch the beastkin girls and Lady Karina ere training there
“Tiger tiger tiger~?”
“Pochi will be tiger that will be tiger of tiger nodesu!”
Taer statues at a rocky area
“Hey you two, I've coet you”
“Maste~”
“It's master nanodesu!”
Tama and Pochi jumped at me
A dot signifying Lady Karina is co here from the other side of the valley
–Tiger?
A real life tiger came out from the other side of the valley
I thought Lady Karina had turned into a tiger, but I rong
It's apparently a ta attires running here Her usual breastplate and side plate are gone, looking a bit sexy Truly a sight to behold
“Satou!”
She ju h, thus she leaped sideway as she landed and hugged Tama and Pochi
“No-good~”
“Drooping down is Pandsan's special privilege nanodesuyo?”
I s dissed by Tama and Pochi
Liza is standing on one foot on a nearby rock cut to look like a spear,
She kinda looks like a e that coa
“Liza! I'm here to fetch you!”
“Master!”
Liza jumped off the rock here
“How's your training?”
“With Ancient Dragon-dono's guidance, we're currently training following each individual course”
“I see, looks like I'm in the way then Would you like to train here a bit more?”
“No! It's my duty to be of help to master!”
I apologized to Liza for getting ahead of ht everyone back to my mansion at the capital
“Satou-sao with you”
“My apologies I'd like Sistinsaether with Mito”
Hikaru and princess Sistina will stay here this time
The reason is because her power as a Gole to defend the capital
After connecting everyone with Arisa's [Tactical Talk], we go into the tower
Since we have no idea ill happen, everyone is fully equipped with their golden and silver armor
“Gobu~?”
A Deot to the second floor
The Des here in an attempt to intimidate us Kind of like a monkey
“Iii, nanodesu”
Pochi showed her fangs as well, inti back
Liza shut Pochi's mouth, “Stop that”
“Sersan, if you'd please”
“Yes”
As arranged beforehand, Sera prays to Gods
The Dean to act weirdly
Looks like it won't run away though
“■■■■■ Pray Bit”
Invisible bullets shot by Sera killed the Deuard
“Gone~?”
“Different color than demons nanodesu”
Taic core dropped by the Deuard
“Hoas it?”
“They don't feel that different frooblins at Selbira Labyrinth”
『Should we ask Teive it a try?』
『I'll let the king decide on that』
Hearing Sera's impression, Hikaru proposed that, but since it'd be relatively dangerous, I left all the decision
“Well then, let's check out the floor above”
I lead the way forward for everyone
“Satou-san, this place feels different than the maze before somewhat”
“Yes, it does indeed”
As Zensan ed
Wish they left these repayable for 10,000 tiames only

“Dagger gobu nanodesu”
A Deot cut in two by Arisa's space ic
The bone knife the de with it
“I'ive out about as obu, I think?”
We prioritized getting to higher floors and defeated only De the way
Most of those deic cores, but soic cores
We also encountered several deuards who carried bone knives with theoblins, those knives would still disappear into purple oblins disappeared
One bone knife remained once as a drop iteer] And since it's only about as strong as rando to celebrate about
