18 Episode 16: There'S 11 Towers Of Trial! (4Th Floor)
Tower of Trials, fourth floor. Sunset in three hours and 55 minutes.
We - me at the beginning, Celica and the father of the liquor store next, and the big man at the end - were walking down the aisle about two meters high and wide.
Stone floors and walls are wet. The damp air is getting worse.
I am close to the wind and water because I am the god of the creek, but I felt bad about the water around me.
Do you think he wants to see how it goes? Looks like you're already following another guy.
Still, I had to move on.
If you can't break through the tower in about four hours, you'll be disqualified.
Turning some corners, he went into a strange room.
The width is about ten meters, but there were dozens of meters of depth. Elongated room.
Plus, all the floors, ceilings and walls are mirrored.
I didn't see the exit.
Stare with the truth eye.
[Magic Mirror] A mirror that conveys 100% magic and magic. Physical attacks do not destroy it.
Hmm. It was like a normal mirror except for the effect.
I don't see any traps in the room.
"Communicating magic effects... you're going to make them fight enemies who are good at magic"
"It doesn't look like a trap, Kaika."
"Watch out for magic attacks. Hide behind me when it's a battle."
"Okay."
"Oops."
I'll take the lead and proceed with caution.
Walk away with your hands on the machete so that you can fall out at any time.
The air is as damp as ever. It seemed to stick around.
Then Celica, who was behind me, raised her voice.
Kaika, the entrance.
Looking back, the place where the entrance was was covered in a single mirror.
"Do you mean you can't leave without clearing it? Be careful."
"Yes."
And proceeded to the back of the room.
There is no exit. There's no door. I'm just covering all four sides in a mirror.
There was a pedestal at the back wall. There's a stone statue on top.
Beautiful woman. She had butterfly wings on her back.
"Are you a fairy?
"Apparently so."
Then suddenly, I heard voices. Beautiful but sad voice.
"Well done, brave egg. I'll tell you more about the trials."
I pull out my knife looking at the stone statue.
"Fine. Call me from anywhere. It's a different matter of clearing it properly."
"In any way, you can do the trials. Then I'll tell you. Defeat your fake companions to remove the gems in your heart and put them on this pedestal. That way, we can go to the next level."
"Fake, buddy?
The moment I snapped, Celica's scream sounded like a chorus.
"" "Kaika!
"Celica!?
There were countless blondes shaking there when I looked back.
Counting all the time, there were eleven.
"What the hell is this...?
"Why am I so..."
Looks just like it. Your voice looks just like yours.
Eleven celicas look at each other anxiously.
That wasn't all.
My father was growing, too. I have eleven.
"Me, a lot...?
What the hell is going on?
"Oh, man."
I turned my attention to the fairy statue.
"... you want me to take this down?
"Yes, this is the trial. Leave only the right people behind and defeat all the impostors"
I saw [the real Celica]. My blue eyes are shaking anxiously.
"Bad chest, bad test."
I guess you're going to put the psychological burden of killing your people on the brave.
The next step in strength and magic comes to diminish the spirit.
A weak-minded brave man could be traumatic.
Then one celica moved forward.
Close the eyes of the long lashes, as you are prepared.
If it's for you, Kaika, it's not a waste of your life.
"I'm sorry."
If I saw the status with the truth eye, it was clear which one was a phony.
It was [fake celica] that came in.
Is it better if you just pretend to be one of them and don't attack me?
I poked him with a machete.
A duller feeling is conveyed in the hand.
"Ugh... Huh!
Fake celica distorts her painful and righteous face.
I finally spill the edge of my mouth or the red blood muscle.
"What?"
A vivid feeling, like cutting people off.
I accidentally looked at the status.
It was still [fake celica].
She smiled as she bled.
"Kaika, please be a brave man... I'm so glad to see you, it is..."
Tears were spilled from the blue eyes that swayed in bitterness, or much blood.
"Celica -"
Between mirrors where tension runs.
The celicas held their mouths and distorted their neat faces into sorrow.
She collapses to the floor.
Blonde spreads like a fan.
The body did not disappear.
I stood still.
Stone statue voice says.
"What are you doing? Hurry up and get your heart out of here and remove the jewels."
"What! You're telling me to dissect it!
Anxiety runs to the celicas and the fathers.
I was even scared of the real Celica.
- This is... the kettle they think it would be if we did the trial like this...!
I sat on the spot.
"All of you, step aside and sit on the wall."
Celica and her fathers obeying orders.
I think about it.
This isn't just going to shatter the hearts of the brave, it's going to destroy the trust of our people.
How many trials, if any, can you trust a brave man who kills the likes of his fellow men just as much as he ever did?
In order to pry out the jewels, the body must be placed in front of him.
And ten.
The more companions you've fought with before, the more you'll think in a corner of your mind that even if you try to believe in brave men, 'But if it's for trial, it's okay to tragically slaughter your companions'.
I'm sure after completing this trial, my distrust of the brave won't go away.
I observed a dead fake celica.
The texture and presence looked just like humans.
I just had to check the status of everything and feel relieved to see the indication [fake celica].
Even I feel unstable.
A real celica or father would want to believe but not believe and be gritty......
You should be suffering from the fear of seeing a phony who looks too much like you and could be killed by mistake.
We have to clear him up quickly.
Nevertheless.
How the hell does this magic work?
It should be difficult to operate remotely.
Is there someone on the other side of this mirror?
It hurts that I can't use Chiri-eye.
What am I supposed to do?
I looked at each and every one of them lined up on the wall.
Every time I meet my eyes, Celica and her dads harden themselves.
I was even nervous about the real thing.
Second, my eyes stopped on the stone statue.
What the hell is the statue that followed?
I stared.
[Stone Statue of the Cursed Fairy] Stone Statue Following the Fairy. Physical Large.
It was cursed and sealed because it defied the Demon King.
Fairies don't die. It is reincarnated when life is no longer preserved.
But I didn't miss it. The status came to mind.

--------------------
[Status]
First Name: Orphelier
Gender: Female
Race: Fairy
Class: Fairy Mage LV99
Vitality: 0/842
Mental strength: 7249/9999
--------------------
... information as if it were alive.
It consumes a lot of magic.
Does that mean this guy was casting magic?
Fuji Petrification, the word comes to mind in the back of my brain.
With that said, it's strange in itself that it's a stone statue but it has vitality.
It seemed worth a try.
Called on Celica to look at me with her anxious colors in her blue eyes.
Celica, prepare the ground holy water.
"Yes, Kaika."
I grabbed my bag and took out the barbecued bottle. Bring the blonde hair as she snuggles back.
Holy water to cure petrification, bought for vs. Lapisia.
I could only buy one, but it would be here that I should use it.
Then - a little late and the other celicas started moving. I have a bottle in my hand.
"" "Kaika. Take this." "
"Other than the first celica, don't move!
Celicas rocking their blonde hair and stopping pitterly.
Only the real one came to the side.
"Kaika... what are you going to do?
"Just give me a minute, please"
When I held the hippopotamus I lowered to my waist, I put it from my head to the fairy stone statue.
"Clean streams flowing through the mountains, wash away evil forces and purify fresh water."
The stone statue sparkles.
Confirm with the "Truth Eye".
[Fairy Stone Statue] Stone Statue Following Fairy. Physical Large.
It was sealed because it defied the Demon King.
Fairies don't die. It is reincarnated when life is no longer preserved.
- Okay, the curse is broken.
"Come on, give me the earth holy water."
"Yes, go ahead. Kaika."
I reached for a bottle offered by Celica. That's when the two fingertips touched.
She stiffened her body in a vicious manner.
"Ah..."
Big blue eyes were moisturizing in bitterness with regret and self-loathing.
I reached out and stroked Celica's head when I smiled. Glossy blonde.
Gently, stroke it again and again like whenever.
Tensions loosened from her luxurious limbs.
"I'm sorry, Celica. It's all right now."
"Kaika, well..."
Celica whining in a sweet, uncut voice. He didn't leave me after I gave him the bottle, and picked a band of Japanese clothes at his fingertips and was beside him.
He's afraid he'll get mixed up with the phonies again.
I opened the lid of the bottle and placed it on the stone statue.
- Then.
The yellow light gleams and envelops the fairy statue.
And when I wondered if it emitted a strong light for a moment, it collapsed on the pedestal. Long green hair spreads fluffy.
Celica shouts her surprise.
"What the hell......!?
I approached, crouched and hugged. I just put the thin silk together, so the thin, soft limbs seemed clear.
But I can't feel alive.
"Orphelier, was it? Are you okay?"
In my arms, open your eyes. Large eyes in jade. It was so beautiful that I didn't think it belonged in this world.
"Oh... it's been years since I've been able to speak to you of my own free will... I can't believe someone appears to break the curse laid on the Demon King..."
You were being manipulated.
"Yeah, that's right. It was the foggy power of my illusions."
- Is that magic its power? I see.
I said with my palm glowing.
"I'll cure you now"
Then she shook her head weakly.
"It's okay. My life is eternal. Now that we're free, we'll be reincarnated into the next generation."
"Really... do you have any wishes?
"Strong brave man. Could you please defeat the Demon King?
"I'm going to do that from the beginning. It'll take a while."
Because you can't be a god unless you sell people their favors carefully.
Then Orphelier smiled as if he had read my mind.
"Thank you. You just have to get what you hid from the fairy world."
"Can't you defeat the Demon King without it?
"Yeah, as you can guess"
"I see. Did you see this terrible because you kept quiet not to be deprived of it"
The Demon King was afraid. To not give a brave man something he can defeat himself.
The fairy's beautiful face clouds.
"How many of the brilliant have been buried with this hand... It was breaking my heart."
"You wanted to destroy your heart and draw information, the Demon King,"
"I'm so glad I met you. then receive my power"
"... I don't need the help of others."
"That's why I asked you. It's a good substitute for change."
"Mmmm............... ok"
I felt like I was going to be persuaded to say anything at a time when I knew the word 'money'.
So I honestly accepted.
Then Orphelier reached out to my cheek. Sleepy cold hands.
The hand suddenly warms up. A light full of charity.
Power has poured into me.
Seeing myself with the truth eye. I had more skills.
[Skills]
Fairy Protection: Immediate Death Invalid Condition Abnormal Invalid Luck + 30% Fairy Realm Travel Permit
She smiles.
"Please, take this world."
"Okay."
When I wondered if Orphelier's body had been wrapped in white mist, the clouds disappeared as they swept away.
Kara, Cologne!
The sound of a gem rolling on the mirror ground.
If you look, all the phonies were gone.
Celica shrugs worryingly.
Kaika, are you okay?
"You're in the mood for a little rest. It's over early."
- You've made Celica feel hard, too.
But Orphelier's voice sounds.
"Hurry up, brave man. We don't have much time."
"Hmm? There's got to be about three hours left, right?
When this hierarchy of offenses started, there were about four hours left.
It should only be about an hour since then.
"Time flies fast between these mirrors. It's already evening outside. It's about an hour until sundown."
"What!
I saw my father. My father takes out his watch and looks at it.
"What is this! The needle's gaining momentum!
"Come on! Let's hurry!
"Ha!"
We ran around between the mirrors and gathered scattered gems.
Arranged on the pedestal, a green door appeared.
Into it.
I was warping to the last hierarchy wondering if my body felt pulled up.
Passage made of stone.
Behind this dungeon, there was something so bad that I could see it without having to look at it.
I squeeze my fist.
"Big man, step forward"
The big man comes forward with his footsteps ringing all the time.
I took the robe from my head.
Inside there was a golem made of stone.
- Petrification measures. Whether it works or not.
"Come on, this is the last time"
"Good luck, Kaika."
Celica rocks her blonde hair and nods.
My father says as he looks at the clock.
You've got an hour left.
"Go."
We led the way in the dungeon with the golem.
