Chapter 159
Chapter 159.
'Still, they're making an intrusion?'
Every Kobold I've encountered so far has died.
I thought the different race intrusion message that appears on the 10th floor wouldn't show up either.
But it seems they're still trying to protect this place.
'Will the Kobold Elder come again this time?'
Although the dropped TP was only 44.
The item dropped was also just a spinal cord with no commercial value from the Kobold Elder.
But thanks to that item, I was able to figure out that the opponent was a Kobold.
'But if I only get a spinal cord again this time, that item would really be useless.'
Last time, I threw the spinal cord into the slime pond, which revealed the Kobold race name on the Reserve League rankings.
But if they give me the same spinal cord this time, I'll have to sell it to the Goblin Merchant for 500TP.
As Lee Ganghan was thinking about the Kobold Elder like this.
Crack, Crack, crack...!
Cracks appeared in the dirt floor, and marble began to be laid in its place instead.
The terrain that appears every time I face an different race.
'The space didn't expand this time.'
When I fought the Kobold Elder before, maybe because he summoned a giant combined robot.
The marble map had a pierced ceiling and was much wider than usual.
But this 10th floor was the same size as when meeting other races.
If that's the case, maybe the Kobold Elder won't appear?
As Lee Ganghan waited for his opponent.
Whoooosh...!
A blue portal opened on the opposite side.
And.
"Ugh..."
Unlike the existing Kobolds.
A mole humanoid with shimmering pink fur.
Walked slowly out of the portal with a somewhat intimidated appearance.
-The Elder isn't coming like last time
-Why is the fur sparkling like that? ㅋㅋㅋ Is it a boss mob?
-Could it be the Kobold King from earlier?
-The expression looks too scared for that though ㅋㅋ
-The pink fur is actually kind of cute when you see it in person...?
Like the viewer chat saying it looked scared.
Rolling its eyes here and there.
The pink mole glancing at Lee Ganghan.
"Aren't you going to summon a robot this time?"
When Lee Ganghan slowly approached and asked.
"Eek...!"
The pink mole tightly closed both eyes.
And hugged its own arms.
'This one is even more scared than other Kobolds.'
Hmm.
Should I try to coax this one well.
And make it submit with Heavenly Demon Eternal, Ten Thousand Demons Prostrate?
It's been quite a while since a new race entered Ten Thousand Demon Battle.
As Lee Ganghan was thinking that.
"Wa, Royal 0121 uses the King's authority in this place!"
The pink Kobold that called itself royalty.
"Paradise, open your doors...!"
Spread both hands wide and shouted 'Paradise'.
Then.
Whoosh...!
The fur that had been shimmering pink all flew in all directions at once.
Pink mist spread thickly throughout the entire map.
Then.
"Woof...?"
"Huff. Huff, Huff..."
"Whine..."
Cerberus, who had been waiting to bite Kobolds as soon as the command was given.
Suddenly lay down on the ground and started drooling.
Moreover,
"Uh... What is this...? A golden room? How many gold bars are there?" "Uh, huh? Excuse me. Wait? If you do this here..." "A, already taking it off? Right after meeting?"
The three players behind also.
Suddenly their eyes glazed over and they started talking nonsense.
-Why are they acting like this?
-The pink Kobold said it opened the paradise door, are they seeing illusions?
-But why is talk about taking clothes off coming up as soon as they meet ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-They must be seeing those kinds of fantasies ㅋㅋㅋ
As the viewers said, whether this pink mist had a powerful hallucinogenic effect.
Both Cerberus and.
The three players were continuously showing strange reactions.
'So opening the gates of paradise ultimately causes hallucinations.'
They said Kobolds' ability was Illusion Implementation.
I guess they use it this way too.
-Still, compared to robots shooting guns, this just seems like spraying hallucinogenic gas ㅋㅋ
-The royal's impact seems weaker than regular Kobolds?
-ㄹㅇㅋㅋ Compared to the combined robot, this is too bland
Compared to the Elder who summoned the giant combined robot.
The royal's Illusion Implementation definitely lacked impact.
Especially since Lee Ganghan wasn't affected by the hallucination at all.
He was just quietly staring at the pink mist.
'I should look for the Royal Kobold.'
The Royal Kobold hasn't been visible.
Since it scattered its fur in all directions earlier.
As Lee Ganghan moved forward to find its form in the mist.
-Uh... what?
-Is Heavenly Demon also under a hallucination?
-Why is an Elf suddenly on screen;
-Wow Okay... Is that beauty real???
-Huh? What do you mean Elf, I see a fox beastkin
-??? Why is a fox appearing
Suddenly in the chat window.
Viewers started making incomprehensible statements.
About an Elf appearing, a fox beastkin appearing.
"There's no one here. You are watching my TowerTube, right?"
-??? -No one there?
-Whoa... Heavenly Demon himself isn't affected, but viewers are hallucinating???
-Oh damn Creepy, an Elf was taking off her top so I recorded and screenshotted but there's no data left
-Whoa Really Where did my fox go ㅠㅠㅠㅠ
-Wow... Woow... I really want to save the screen I'm watching now...
-Uh I'm a guy but why is a man appearing on screen???
-That's because you're...
Whether each person saw their desired 'ideal type' through the TowerTube screen.
Viewers were expressing regret saying they definitely wanted to save the video they were currently watching.
Still, maybe because they were watching through a screen.
"Ah, ahh... Stop..."
"Heh, heheh.
I'm rich now...
With this money I can afford Fire Tribe...
I'll retire from being a porter!!!"
"Huff, Huff huff, Huff...!"
They weren't showing as intense reactions as the players behind.
Or Cerberus.
'...But what about the person who saw a fox beastkin?'
The world is wide, and tastes are more diverse than imagined.
The ideal types appearing in the chat window.
Most were Elves, but unexpected things popped up sometimes.
'Everyone's excited but I feel left out.'
Why am I not affected by the hallucination.
The viewers are affected and going crazy.
Lee Ganghan smiled bitterly while carefully examining inside the mist to end this situation.
The pink Kobold.
It's definitely hiding somewhere since it keeps emitting this hallucinogenic smoke...
'No matter how much I look, I can't see it.'
Even though it was trembling so much when first summoned.
It does have abilities after all.
As Lee Ganghan frowned, unable to find the pink Kobold's location.
'Hmm? But... Athena's advertisement message seems slightly different.'
After equipping the Owl of Twilight.
Athena's spam message that keeps floating in one corner of his vision.
At first this was annoying.
But as time passed, he reached a level of automatically ignoring it.
★☆Use petrification authority on the mist★☆ ★☆Can't you see the message?★☆ ★☆Snap out of it★☆ ★☆Hey!!!!★☆
Looking at the message content again.
Instead of advertising content, real 'Goddess's Advice' was displayed.
***
'If you're going to give advice, remove those stars.'
With those double stars attached, I naturally thought it was an advertisement and ignored it.
As Lee Ganghan looked at the message with an incredulous expression.
★☆You're watching. You've come to your senses.★☆ ★☆Use petrification authority on the mist★☆
The double star message had the goddess giving advice again with a solemn attitude.
'Let me try following the advice.'
Athena, who is also the goddess of wisdom.
There must be a reason she's saying that.
Swoosh.
Lee Ganghan stared intently at the mist.
'I use petrification authority.'
As he muttered that to himself.
Golden light flashed from his two eyes.
Then.
Crackle...!
A strange sound came from within the mist.
Thud...!
The sound of something falling from the air was heard.
At the same time.
Hisssss...
The mist rapidly disappearing.
And simultaneously.
-Ah my Elf...
-Fox...
-Lizard...
-Orc...
-What the hell is lizard and orc ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Whether the fantasy was also disappearing from TowerTube.
Chats expressing regret about their ideal types disappearing kept coming up.
-You guys above were joking, right? I'll acknowledge fox ㅋㅋㅋ
-??? Why acknowledge fox you crazy bastard ㅡㅡ
-Can't we just love humans...?
-ㄹㅇ There's no chat saying humans appeared ㅋㅋㅋ
-Elves are the superior version of humans
-That's right
Viewers began having in-depth discussions about the fantasies they had seen.
'This is... I really was the only one who couldn't see it.'
Lee Ganghan felt a strange sense of isolation.
He went to look for what had been petrified from the disappeared hallucinogenic gas.
"Is this... a hand?"
A hand shimmering pink.
And five long protruding fingernails.
This thing had such a powerful hallucinogenic effect.
That it even influenced TowerTube viewers.
When Lee Ganghan grabbed it.
Ding.
An item description appeared.
[Kobold Royal's Hand]
Grade: B
A remnant left by the royalty of race 'Kobold' while implementing paradise.When possessing Illusion Implementation ability, paradise can be implemented using the hand as medium.Also, when consuming part of the hand.You can experience paradise hallucinations.
'Hallucination experience... Is this drugs?'
And to experience paradise, you have to tear off and eat the hand left by Kobold royalty.
What an unpleasant item.
As Lee Ganghan slightly shook his head while looking at the item description.
"Huff, Huff..."
"Woof! Woof!"
Cerberus, who had been lying on the floor experiencing 'paradise' earlier.
Suddenly jumped up.
And ran toward Lee Ganghan at rapid speed.
Then.
Chomp!
Opening its mouth wide.
It tried to bite the 'Kobold Royal's Hand' that Lee Ganghan was holding.
'Why is it acitng like this?'
Could it be doing this because it wants to experience the paradise it tasted earlier again?
"No."
Swoosh.
Lee Ganghan held the Kobold's hand high above his head.
And shook his head saying no.
"Bark! Bark!"
"Whine. Whine..."
"Whimper..."
One head barked fiercely.
Two pretended to be pitiful.
"Inventory."
When Lee Ganghan ignored their reactions and put the Kobold Royal's hand in his inventory.
"Woof! Woof!"
Barking in unison.
Cerberus jumped in place.
'Wow... Is this why they say drug addiction is scary?'
A summon of Cerberus's caliber.
Had one taste of paradise and can't come to its senses.
"This won't do. Come back for now."
Lee Ganghan reverse-summoned the highly excited Cerberus with the necktie.
And looked at the remaining party members.
"Uhuh... I'm rich..."
"Heh. Heheh..."
Then.
Whether they still hadn't awakened from the hallucination, drooling from their mouths.
The party members were happy looking at empty air.
One had already taken off almost all their clothes.
And was rubbing their body against the floor.
-Why are they acting like that?
-If you became Heavenly Demon's party member, at least be a good spectator...
-Why is that human taking off clothes and making a fuss ㅋㅋㅋ
-But seeing Cerberus's eyes roll back, the hallucination power must have been pretty strong
-Viewers could see fantasies on screen too, so;
Viewers realized anew how powerful the hallucinogenic gas was.
While watching the three people who couldn't come to their senses.
'I definitely shouldn't experience paradise.'
Seeing their condition.
I should immediately sell this hand I got to the Goblin Merchant or throw it in the slime pond.
Instead of thinking about 'consuming' it out of curiosity.
That's when.
Ding.
[You acquire 1TP from player '0121's corpse.]
The actual corpse wasn't visible anywhere.
But 1TP came in saying it was acquired from there.
'1...? Why does the royal have less TP than an Elder?'
They might as well not give anything.
1 feels like they're mocking people.
But.
'But their names show up now.'
Before it appeared as ***.
This time the player name appeared clearly.
But the name.
'Was it really a number?'
The pink Kobold from earlier called itself Royal 0121.
The name appearing in the system is also a number.
As Lee Ganghan thought it was an unusual race.
Whirrr...
On the opposite side, a clear portal appeared.
'I should get out first.'
When Lee Ganghan approached this.
[Calculating Silver Tower No.24 performance...]
A performance calculation message appeared.
['Occupation Reservation' tower.]
[Cleared 1st floor in one go.]
[Cleared 10th floor in one go.]
[Subdued intruding different race player.]
[Clear Evaluation – SSS+]
From the middle, enemies weren't even opponents and were all dead.
But still received a decent SSS+ in performance calculation.
However, the message didn't end there.
[Notice: Competing race 'Kobold' has been understood more deeply.]
[Notice: This is a race that borders your ranking in the Reserve League.]
[Notice: 'Humanity' can now 'Occupation Reserve' race 'Kobold's towers.]
A notice message that appeared to all humanity.
The content displayed was.
'...We can invade them?'
It was informing humanity, which had been continuously invaded.
Could now launch a counterattack.
