[Proceed with the test.]

That echo was heard by everyone who entered the dungeon.

In the case of this dungeon, Mari had already been through it.

About 1 km high.

A huge staircase that leads from the ground to the end of the sky.

From there, the stairs change every time you climb 10 spaces.

Enemies come out, or the way each person’s ordeal comes out.

As long as it’s not in the middle of a fight, you can stop clearing dungeons at any time.

Instead, the higher you climb, the stronger and special things are given as rewards.

But what if it fails here?

fall down to hell

sounds like dying

You can tell that intuitively.

That was how the dungeon called Stairway to Heaven looked like Marie had been through before returning.

However, Mari assumed that the method would be different in her case.

Because I’ve been through it once before.

So, she had told Ji Han-hwi beforehand.

“There’s no way a test dungeon will give the same test to someone who’s already gone through it once.”

that your test will be different.

“Did we make a comeback? Marie, you are with me, so you are halfway through it.”

“Even so. no wonder… … It seemed like this test was given by the Constellation that protects me.”

“… … Isn’t that dangerous?”

“I guess.”

The basis is not certain.

But there was a feeling.

A Constellation that loves itself more than anyone else.

The feeling that the constellation is a test for oneself.

But it didn’t seem like it would give them any favors.

So, only she could have different types of tests.

I didn’t have my own

“I have done it before, so I will do it. No, I will try to do better this time.”

“Marie will be fine. Don’t overdo it though.”

“… … yes.”

Again, it was Ji Han-hwi that she was worried about.

Before the return, it looked different from him.

Seeing that, Marie had a lot of mixed feelings.

It’s a pity that it would have been nice if I had been like this in my previous life.

and… … .

‘No. This is not the time. Even if you look at Bora, it’s not like this. Marie, come to your senses.’

She let go of her mixed emotions.

Then he smiled brightly.

“I will do well. I am also one of the last seven.”

“Nothing.”

Ji Han-hwi smiled at us as well.

That was the conversation between her and Ji Han-hui on the plane.

But now, that conversation was immediately proven.

The dungeon she entered was different from before.

‘It’s really changed.’

In front of her eyes was a scene other than the stairs.

It was a vast, endless wilderness.

It was nothing but pure white.

There was no immediate indication of where to go or what to get.

Also, it was different from before, when the rules were engraved in my head in detail.

But she had no intention of stopping here.

“You have to go and do it.”

I took a step forward without fear.

* * *

As Marie sets out into the endless wilderness.

At the same time, other colleagues who had fallen were also tested.

I saw a staircase.

As Mary explained before.

“hmm… … According to Marie, you can go up. Are the rules really written in your head?”

“Ugh. high.”

“Let’s try.”

“… … .”

Jinah Lee, Jinsung Lee, Donggil Park, and Minha Kim.

All of the comrades standing in front of the different stairs started moving toward the sky at different speeds.

up, more up.

It was a step to test the limits of oneself.

But not everyone was the same.

There was also one being whose steps were in a completely different direction.

“… … Was it really here?”

Isaiah.

She was the one who liked to step forward more than anyone else.

Not now.

I didn’t know that her steps would go up.

The stairway to heaven stretched out in front of her.

The one behind him kept holding her feet.

when she turned back.

The landscape has changed.

Squeeze-

Instead of bright stairs, there were dark and dull stairs.

The direction of the stairs is down, not up.

It was darker than bright.

It looked so shady that it would be difficult for any normal person to dare to step forward.

It was a place anyone could avoid.

However, she pondered over the stairs for a long time.

this place. Because she already knew where it was.

“Isn’t that the dungeon of the King of Death?”

A long time ago, when she achieved success in a Hero’s Battlefield deployment battle.

There was a dungeon that Architecture had patronized by giving her the location.

That dungeon was the King of Death’s dungeon.

The architecture that gave the location of the dungeon wanted to analyze her.

After expressing a favor, I made a request.

That analysis is literally reading her.

How could she, having heard of Architecture’s plan, want that?

In front of that proposal, Isaiah threw a counter-proposal.

Were you embarrassed by him?

After that, the architecture had no answer.

it was on hold

After that incident, she, too, had forgotten about the Dungeon itself.

Before returning, the place where she obtained the Lich Transformation magic was the Dungeon of the King of the Dead.

By becoming a lich, he transcended human limitations.

At the same time, it became the shackles that prevented reaching the end of the necromantic magic.

There was no reason to visit such a dungeon again.

So, I forgot and forgot.

‘Because there’s no reason to make a mistake twice.’

But I never thought I would come here on my own.

It was public.

It was also unexpected for her.

“It’s ridiculous.”

She laughed out loud.

The situation itself was funny.

Above is the stairway to heaven that Marie talked about as a dungeon.

Below that lies the dungeon of the King of the Dead, which he tried to forget.

Isn’t that situation bound to be funny?

“light and darkness. Divinity and spirit… … .”

Not two sides of any coin.

Like Marie and Isaiah.

It seemed to confirm that the two exist in diametrically opposed positions.

It is as if the threads of fate are entwined in opposite directions.

If it’s someone’s joke, it’s too terrible.

Originally, Isaiah did not even believe in fate.

At this point, I couldn’t help but feel useless.

“If you f*cking stick it up like this, I’ll check it out for myself. Damn architecture! Damn you nameless Constellation bastard! Actually, aren’t you two the same person? uh?”

That was a mistake to confirm the results with his own two eyes.

Because she didn’t have any hobbies of being swayed by someone else’s pranks.

The resolution has already been made.

She immediately started taking steps.

Its direction is down, not up.

It was toward a place that Marie called Hell.

* * *

An endless expanse of wilderness.

Moving inside it was scary.

It’s because you’re heading to a place where you don’t know where you’re going or where you’re going.

However, Marie was able to endure such a thing.

before regression.

Even if the end was empty, she knew how to endure even in despair.

The problem lies elsewhere.

“The divine power is gradually disappearing.”

Divine power that is as natural to her as breathing.

Every time that divine power takes a step, it is scattered.

Whoo-

The scattered divine power went somewhere and disappeared.

The divine power that is her foundation.

If that divine power disappeared, she was like a normal person who was a little stronger.

‘I didn’t do this in the previous test… … .’

It was serious.

Still, she couldn’t stop walking.

Because he needed the staff of life he was aiming for.

how far did you walk

how much time has passed

As if poles and poles are connected.

It was difficult to measure time in the clear light as in the dark.

just quietly walk away.

“ah… … ?”

At one point, she walked faster.

With almost no divine power, she saw a target in front of her eyes.

It is the wand of life!

Is it a mirage?

You’ll find out when you go.

She started running briskly.

before reaching it.

The Staff of Life was loftily floating in the air.

It was as if the staff had grown and fed on the divine power she had scattered.

There was a huge divine power equal to her in the staff.

teouk.

She picked up her wand.

There was no resistance.

As if you’ve come to where you’re meant to be.

The wand slipped into her bosom.

And the voice he heard convinced her.

[You got the Magical: Staff of Life.]

[Your qualifications for use have been confirmed by the constellation.]

[You are the rightful owner of the Staff of Life.]

All in all, it was the certainty that she had the staff she was supposed to have.

“at las… … got it.”

The moment she got the wand, she felt full.

It wasn’t because the disheveled divine power returned.

They’ve disappeared somewhere.

The sense of fullness now was obtained from the rod of life.

It means that he does not have the divine power he possessed.

So she suddenly thought.

“I promised to get more and go.”

The arrogance of obtaining a wand is not enough.

I had to get more than this.

Because of this, she chose to move.

It was the direction in which her divine power disappeared as if flowing.

“I have to go.”

Without hesitation, she was taking her steps in the wilderness again.

* * *

Sometimes it’s time for someone to step forward, and sometimes it’s the end for someone else.

Isaiah was like that.

As Marie was wandering in the wilderness, she continued down.

I was very nervous at first.

I heard that a test appears every ten steps on the stairway to heaven.

Before this, the opposite place, was the dungeon of the King of the Dead.

It was safe to say that it was a stairway to hell.

Therefore, he had summoned a lot of skeleton soldiers to deal with the enemy at any time.

Dalgrak- Dalgrak-

Filling up the stairs like that, I continued down.

10, 20, 30… … .

“what? It’s boring… … .”

Even though I keep going down the stairs like that.

There was not a single entity that could stop her.

‘Let’s speed up.’

Break through 100 stairs in an instant.

It started to go down more and more.

Stairs that were estimated to be about 1,000 in total.

It didn’t take long to go down the stairs.

What you see after coming down is a huge empty lot.

There was only an altar that seemed to have been made to offer something.

what is this

“Are you saying I have to offer a sacrifice?”

I don’t have any hobbies like that.

If this were the case, I’d rather have climbed the stairway to heaven.

She did everything in front of the altar.

Even if you throw a skeleton soldier.

He also tried shooting his magic power.

Kwaaang!

I also tried to inflict damage by shooting the spirit magic.

The result is all failure.

Due to her actions, only the quiet space became noisy.

“You want me to give you my country too?”

-… … .

The altar can’t answer.

She sighed as she faced the altar.

It was considered a joke.

It had been a long time since she had used up everything she could.

There is only one way left.

Standing on the altar herself.

But she didn’t mean to.

“Whoever it is, he has no intention of dedicating me. Just know that.”

Because he decided to survive as himself in this life, not as a lich.

A rich man who can’t even shed tears even when he’s sad.

I had no intention of becoming

With my own body, I intend to see the end of spirit magic under the rank of a human being.

So she left the altar without regret and turned around.

And when you look back like that.

“… … uh?”

thru-

Suddenly, the stairs were gone.

There was only one huge gate in the space.

When you give up everything, the answer comes out.

“Is this really the correct answer?”

She was dumbfounded, but smiled.

The one who designed this dungeon.

Because no matter who it was, it smelled like a kind of person who likes to make fun of others.

‘what… … Still, I have no intention of becoming a lich.’

Anxiety was gone and interest was piqued.

And what do you think?

“okay. Let’s see how far we go.”

From nob le mt l dot com

Just like Marie, who wanted to wander in the wilderness.

She, too, was filled with thoughts of seeing the end.

That’s why she immediately got on her body towards the gate.

sssss-

As soon as she passed through the gate, the huge gate disappeared.

… … .

All that was left was an altar that did not respond to anything.

and.

-… … Are you gone? What will you choose this time?

It was just a small monologue spoken by something that rose from above the altar.

* * *

When everyone is taking the test in their own way.

Ji Han-hwi was also taking his own test.
