Chapter 18

The mucky-colored sky faded till it was a pristine crystal blue. The clouds began to move to what I guessed was the east. If you included the swordmaster, the five of us stood as we watched the world move again.

"(L/n) What's going on?" The witch looked at the surroundings at the sudden change we caused. 

"We were meant to choose a side and then fight the demon king but instead we didn't and made him retreat. The tower then had to rewrite the event. Now without the demon king here to oppose them there is no more war or bloodshed this place is peaceful as ever." I turned to see the castle walls in the far distance. "Just look over there."

As I said this everyone looking in the direction I pointed out. The red blood-stained flags that were frozen now never existed and the cracked walls as well.

"I want to check it out." The black witch grabbed gong-jas hand without even asking before stretching the other out to me. "Grab my hand so we can go." 

I've noticed this feeling for a while now. Whenever we decreased the killing on the 11th floor she would be so excited and hug Gong-ja and me. Any time any girl got close to him I felt this way. I'm no idiot and say 'What is this feeling? This is new.'  Its flat out jealousy. But Gong-ja isn't mine. I need to accept this. 

Instead of taking her outstretched hand I walked next to Gong-ja and intertwined our fingers. "let's go." Taken aback but didn't open her mouth. 

"Teleport!"

Upon the wall I pointed out, the city view was amazing. Even I was shocked at the beauty. "It's as you said (Y/n) The timeline was altered. It's an event that never happened." Gong-ja smiled as our hands still intertwined. We rewrote history. 

"You who goes there?" Oh, it's the knight from the 11th floor. What was his name? He's the only knight that had bright red in his armor. "Such impertinence! Who are you to be stepping foot atop of the empire's gatehouse!"

"Sarbast Aegim," Gong-ja said loud enough for the knights below to hear.

"So that's his name," I muttered.

Gong-ja just turned psychotic as he belted out a burst of hysteric laughter. "We did it! We protected your empire!"

Stuff like this is a better read than experience. "Dude they don't know anything so shut up." Even though I'm embarrassed by his outburst I can't help but smile at him. I understand how he feels since I'm the same way. 

[Stage cleared. Assessing raid participants. Assessment complete. Announcing the 4 raid participants.
1. King of Death, hades
2. Goddess Persophone
3. Black Witch
4. Sword Saint.]

"Take good care of the empire!"

"I thought you'd be mature and get lost in contemplation but instead you outright brag about it!" The swordmaster is swirling in the air laughing. I want to fly too. "Even (L/n) is dealing with it better than you." We all held hands again to go to the next stage.

"The one who ranks 1st is always given priority when entering the next floor. King of death, I want you to represent us and be the one to say transfer." The sword saint seems nicer to us now.

"I was this close to being number 1."

"Yeah yeah. Transfer."

Upon summoning the demon king raged out and started yelling at us. I'm sick and tired of seeing this ink beast wannabe.

"It's weaker. it's more like their rank dropped. He use to be SSS rank but now he's more like a non-sss rank. Don't bosses normally get stronger as you climb the tower?"

"It's because we went back in time before the demon king took over the continent. He becomes stronger with fear but now he doesn't have that much fear to fuel him." I went to the store while the demon king kept throwing a fit. 

Scrolling I found a retrieval skill that was expensive. Or should I use my remaining points to get a better spear? I could always ask black witch or sword saint for a better one and this one is still usable for the time being. Clicking the buy button I can feel points leaving me. I feel broke now. 

[Retrieval: Select an object within 20 feet and pull them to your hand.] This skill will be a key point in my spear technique. The reason it's so expensive is that there is no definition of what can count as an object and no limitation other than the distance. 

"Oh, ghouls! Oh, demons! Mine children! Kill these vermin!" Is it starting now?

Zombies of knights priests and normal people stood and heeded the demon king's demands. We stood together and killed them as they approached. More headed in the direction of the sword saint and seeing this as prime time for my new skill I throw my spear as if it was a javelin piercing through 3 zombies. Retrieval of my spear knocking 2 more down in the process. This is why the skill is great. Now I have a medium-distance technique. With every kill I do I get more points for skills so I'm a happy little goddess. 

"How many lives do you think it'll take us to beat floor 19?"

Swordmaster was floating high in the sky. Not like he can help us but laugh. "If it was only you 100 but taking (Y/n) into account 87 lives." 

"Thanks for thinking so highly of me."

"I'll sit back and watch 2 zombies kill their own kind. Since this is a bet I'm not helping you 2."

"Fine."
