Chapter 149 – Episode 149 – [40th Floor Gate Exam] If You Let Your Guard Down, Your Balls Will Be Shattered.

* Episode 149 – [40th floor gateway test] If you let your guard down, your balls will be shattered

[The constellation welcomes you!]

The system window also appeared at the right time when I popped my head into the gate.

Beyond the shallow opening of the door, the violent sound of joints clashing against each other struck my eardrums.

‘For some reason, there was no outside.’

I backed away slightly when I saw a sign approaching the door.

Just in case, I ordered Natalia to keep her mouth shut.

“…!!”

He said he understood and waited for the Constellation to come out, using the delinquent who politely saluted as his subordinate.

Snap.

Snap.

Snap.

The closer we got, the louder the footsteps became.

The intimidating feeling beyond the door, perhaps due to its size, made me shiver.

The expectations for this appearance were not wrong.

[Open the gateway!]

[Be careful not to hit them!]

Following the warning on the system window, I took a few steps back.

The thick stone gate opened wide, drawing a fan-shaped painting on the sandy beach.

“Crrrrm”

A black muzzle filled with thick blood stuck out her head.

What appeared beyond the all-black darkness was a gray wolf wearing armor all over its body.

[Constellation ‘Knight of the Beast’]

As if introducing himself, a system window appeared on the forehead of an armored wolf wearing full plate.

He’s big… Even when standing on all fours, it looks like it is 4 meters tall.

The armor on his massive body clanged, and the feeling of intimidation awakened his biological instincts.

‘Hey, look at this? It seems like the first enemy worth hunting has appeared?’

Assuming I’ve met you so far, I’ve met Mumma, Incubus, Furry, and Psychiatrist Octopus…

I thought I wouldn’t be able to encounter orthodox fantasy monsters like dragons in this tower, but it shattered my expectations.

As awesome as the enemy was, my heart also beat loudly.

“… Krung?”

The wolf glared at me with bright yellow eyes.

I immediately took out the revolver gauntlet and clenched my fist.

I put the auror in the gauntlet and shook my muzzle as I prepared to fight at any time.

“Why? Am I not on your level?”

“Crumbling…”

The guy stuck out his tongue and licked the blood from the corner of his mouth.

I wonder where the blood came from, and after licking it all up, he grinned and showed his fangs.

And then-

“Hello, player! Welcome to the 40th floor! I, the ‘Knight of the Beast’, welcome you wholeheartedly!”

They welcomed me very energetically.

And that too in the voice of a young, cute boy.

The steam has disappeared.

…

…

“Ahaha! This happens often! I am also aware of my appearance, so please don’t take it too seriously!”

Hehe~!

Regardless of his appearance, the Beast Constellation was a very lively dog.

When I told him why I was holding my fist, he cheerfully said, ‘I understand!’ And asked why he was inside the gate instead of outside, and the answer I got was very common sense.

“There was an injured person inside! I was too busy taking care of that, so I couldn’t greet you!”

“There was blood around the corner of your mouth?”

“That’s also a misunderstanding! Even before the player arrived here, they were facing other challengers, and they were seriously injured, so they had to transfer them to another level, so there was blood on them!”

It opened and closed its large snout repeatedly, pretending to move people.

Well, he was speaking seriously, but it sounded like an excuse, so I looked at him with suspicion.

“You won’t believe it, but it’s true! I’m a wolf so civilized that I have my own grill! I don’t eat raw meat!”

While doing so, he smiled blankly, and the tension was similar to that of Soon-ae’s Knight.

“Master…”

“You stay quiet in the back.”

“… Four!”

I pushed Natalia, who was observing the situation like me, behind her.

From the looks of it, it’s not an opponent to fight.

Although she had inadvertently stuck out her fist earlier, she decided to become friendly now and called out her name.

“The beast’s… Constellation?”

“You can just speak informally! Soonae’s knight told me in detail about you!”

He was also an acquaintance there.

For some reason, he took good care of me from earlier.

“If you heard my story, you can assume that you are on our side too, right?”

“Yes! That’s right!”

Hehe!

“I am also a comrade like Sunae! As they say, I am tired of invading the world! The reason why the evil demons of the tower run rampant is because of energy, and they have found a way to supply it peacefully. I hope your journey goes well, and I hope this strategy will help you. I gave it strength!”

I nudged Natalia, who was standing next to me, with her front paw, saying it was proof of my help.

“Crane!?”

Although she was surprised that she might be suddenly singled out, she did not relax her attention-grabbing posture.

A faithful demon slave who follows my orders. That was Natalia now.

“If you gave it strength, for example, something like difficulty?”

“Yes! [Difficulty: Very Easy] Is a setting that can only be found in the original tutorial! I skipped all the heroine events and narratives without preparing them, and even transferred some of the administrator rights to allow players to use detailed settings and properties. Yes~!”

Although it was to punish Natalia, the player was made to create the setting for the strategy heroine.

Even I thought it was too generous.

Everything made sense when I thought that the hierarchy manager helped me behind the scenes.

“If you helped me, does that mean you also want something from me?”

“Mmmm! Of course! I want the Tower of Lust to be conquered gently! I want to work with you, say, on the 15th floor, have fun in the layer I created in the morning, and come home at night to spend a cozy evening with my wives. !”

“… Wife ‘s’? Uh, are you married?”

Nod!

“If you look at the hierarchy I manage, you can see that I am a harem fan! Since I am a beast by nature, I still have many wives! In particular, the 36th floor is a masterpiece created for my own self-interest! Haha, beautiful girls with cute animal ears serve males. Isn’t this really the best!?”

She snorted, spinning her tail like a propeller.

At this moment, the fear or intimidation of the beast’s knight disappeared in the sea breeze.

“I’m asking just in case, are there any furries from the 1st to 5th floors…?”

“… Wow! You’re quick-witted! I designed that one too! I’m busy with this level, so I’m not managing it, but it’s all my lovely work! Hehe~! What do you think? Do you like furry~!?”

… I can’t believe you were talking about orthodox fantasy to this guy.

Beautiful girl Suin is also OK.

Furry is also OK.

Even because you are a dog, bestiality is OK?

Crazy guy.

This article was better than Sunae or Lily, but it was by no means lesser.

“I don’t know much about furry… Is it possible with just ○namon…?”

“Oh! You’re talking about ○jimon, right? Even ○namon! I like that character too! I’ve been watching it all the time since the tower was placed on the ground!”

Do you even know?

I’m just saying something roughly possible to please people.

I changed the conversation in case the conversation turned to furry.

“Oh, of course I’m not saying I only like ○Namon! I also like the ones with human bases and ears and tails! The ones on the 36th floor are really nice!?”

“Aha~! I know without you having to tell me. My colleague Natalia is also a beastman, and I know that you are also a comrade with animal ears like me!”

‘Huh?’

Is Natalia a prisoner?

Because it has ears and a tail… That’s right… ?

But the Beast Knight had one more reason to like me besides that.

“A female like that who is such a nuisance to those around her and doesn’t listen to them, it would have been easy to just kick her out of the group and leave her in this class! But she made her submit and re-educated her as a female! It makes me want to emulate her as a fellow animal and male~!”

“Is that something worth emulating…?”

“Of course! Aren’t you and I also the males leading the harem? Females and males! There must be a thorough hierarchical relationship between superiors and subordinates! Especially in the wild world! If we males, who are the heads of the family, do not hold the family tightly, we will reverse rape the females. As if this isn’t enough, you will quickly be reduced to a ‘sperm juicer’!!”

I pounded the dirt floor with my front feet.

It was an angry tone.

Even though she was the leader of the group that created the harem, she must have had the experience of being looked down on by her wives.

‘The wolf is reverse rape… The family over there is really…’

Literally shit.

But I understood that statement.

‘If you look at things like the animal kingdom, there are often scenes where a male lion gets all his strength sucked out by the lionesses and becomes thin. The knight of the beast is similar to that.’

The situation in this constellation is probably similar to that.

When I gave an example and sympathized with it, he started wagging his tail and barking.

“Ah. I’m going to get into a personal story! The reason my comrade reached the 40th floor was because of the strategy! If you have any questions about the strategy, I’ll answer!”

I asked a question, thankful that the story about the walls did not last long.

“Originally, I was going to call someone like Nayami who could help me with this gateway, right? But due to circumstances, I couldn’t do that, so I’m going to use her as a substitute. Isn’t that going to be a problem?”

“You mean to hire this demon as a partner to destroy the gimmick of this gateway?”

“Uh. If I take him with me and think he won’t wake up, I’ll come back later.”

“Krung ~!”

The beast knight gazed intently at Natalia’s body.

“If my comrade had brought in a random eumma from the lower class, I would have stopped him… Crrrr! It looks like the owner of the body was a hunter as strong as his personality! If this is the case, he will be a good partner! However-“

“Why?”

“-If you ask me if I can break the gateway, I don’t know! This tier is a gateway whose difficulty depends on how you respond to the gimmick rather than the strength of your partner! It would be good if your partner was strong, but that’s not the answer, it’s the ‘minimum condition’! Even fools suffered because they couldn’t understand that!”

“I know all about gimmicks. But that’s not enough, right?”

“What you know and what you actually experience are completely different! Once again, those who tried before didn’t suffer because they didn’t know that!”

Dazed!

Others boasted about their criminal records, saying they were unable to clear the exam due to insufficient preparation.

After that, I gave advice again.

“As the gatekeeper, I shouldn’t go this far. There’s no one marking my gate, so I’ll be honest!”

Woof, woof!

“What our gateway needs is ‘overwhelming ability’! And that’s basic ability that doesn’t depend on skills! A master who can freely manipulate aurors and knows how to react flexibly even if his posture is awkward! With all of these skills, he can kill summoned enemies with one hit. You must be able to deliver the finishing blow!”

“It doesn’t depend on skill-“

“Anyway, your comrade doesn’t have any proper skills. I understand he has a strange skill created by Sunae and Lily.”

You know this too.

It’s been a while since I received it, but I still haven’t been able to use it.

I wasn’t going to regret it since I already got it, but since I don’t have anything to activate it, I feel like I’ll forget its existence.

“Then what about me? Can I take him with me to break the gate?”

“Can a comrade wake up… Hmm…”

This time he lowered his head and glared at me.

I asked him outright if he could wake up, but he did not refuse to answer.

‘I am confident.’

Second day of climbing the tower.

The buff I received from Madam did not disappear.

I am proud of myself as a strong person comparable to Class A, and my Auror proficiency is at a level that would make Ceres depressed.

As if responding to such pride, the beast knight also raised his head and declared.

“Comrade meets all the clear conditions I hoped for! If you can stand up and withstand the attack and then take out the enemy with one hit, you will be able to clear it easily!”

“Is it possible with my Auror?”

“Yes! You have more aurors than any hunter I’ve ever seen! If you catch the enemy off guard, you will definitely be able to finish him off!”

‘I was sure I could break it. Also, do you give me advice?’

I have no intention of backing down after this.

He even hinted that the Constellation could be broken. If you step back from here, you are not a man.

“Master… Is it really okay…?”

“It’s okay, just follow my orders. You can do that, right?”

“… Four!”

Just in case, I took out my cell phone and sent a text saying, ‘I’m going to challenge the gateway from now on, so if you don’t wake up, I want to rescue you.’

Nayami will return tomorrow and Seongyeon is also waiting, so she will be rescued within two days at the latest.

‘I feel like I have a very loser mentality, but you never know, right?’

As I lifted my waist and left behind the rescue text, the constellation of beasts also stood up with me.

“Are you up for the challenge?”

There is no need to say anything.

“Challenge!”

When I responded, the stone gate began to shine without delay.

[The constellation ‘Knight of the Beast’ accepts the challenge!]

[The 40th floor gateway is open!]

Natalia and I are sucked into the gateway.

As usual, it was a structure where tests were conducted within the gate.

“Comrade! Don’t forget my advice! Stay calm and hit one! I’ll take you down with one hit!”

“Yes!”

I responded to the advice of the beast knight.

Immediately after, the screen changed.
