Episode 57
The moment Choi Hyun-min poured the stealth potion over his body.
His room fell into chaos.
-Master, did he run away?
-If I knew this would happen, I should have eaten less soup!
-We absolutely cannot let him get away this time!
-He couldn’t have gone far yet!
He clearly hadn’t moved even a single step from where he originally stood.
Yet these guys kept turning their heads around like naive children.
“I’m here, right here.”
Choi Hyun-min watched the Musket Soldiers for a while.
He waved his hand toward them with a low voice.
But their reaction was the same as before.
Still unable to find him.
They just wandered around the room like puppies that needed to pee.
‘…Even if they can’t see me, they can’t hear my voice either?’
It was definitely loud enough to be heard.
He tilted his head in confusion for a moment-
Smack!
He raised his finger and struck the back of a Musket Soldier’s head.
-Ack!
-What? All of a sudden.
-Someone pushed me from behind! Who was it?!
-There was nobody behind you, you idiot.
He had clearly been hit on the head.
But the guy couldn’t even recognize that.
He kept repeating the same thing, insisting another toy had pushed him.
‘This… the stealth potion doesn’t just hide appearance?’
The recipe Im Ye-seo had given him.
It clearly stated that things like the user’s scent, presence, and sounds couldn’t be hidden.
But the Block Toys weren’t noticing anything at all.
That meant…
‘The stealth potion I made is a different type from Heukpung’s original stealth potion?’
And in a much better direction too.
Out of curiosity, he tried throwing objects around the room.
Changed positions.
Even placed his hand on a Musket Soldier’s body.
‘They’re not noticing at all.’
They couldn’t even dream that this was Choi Hyun-min’s doing.
What an interesting item.
Tsk tsk tsk.
After some time passed.
When the moisture from the stealth potion on his body had completely evaporated.
Choi Hyun-min’s figure gradually appeared from the empty space.
-Huh? Master!
-Master! Master is back!
-Where did you go?
As if they had been waiting, the guys rushed toward him in a crowd.
Choi Hyun-min made an awkward face and gave a clumsy excuse.
“Ah… I had some urgent business to take care of…”
At those words, the Block Toys’ eyes sparkled.
With tears welling up in their eyes, they came rushing toward Choi Hyun-min.
-Master, I was wrong…
-I won’t eat a lot of soup anymore!
-I won’t poke holes in the soup bowl either!
-Don’t abandon us and leave…
Uh…
Their reaction was a bit different from what he expected.
Of course, hiding his appearance wasn’t to play a prank.
It was simply to test the potion’s effectiveness.
“Ah, I got it. I understand what you’re saying, so could you back away a little first?”
Choi Hyun-min barely managed to separate the guys who were clinging to him like babies.
This time he lined up the Block Toys and Dehof.
He arranged them all in a row.
-What are you trying to do?
-Are you going to give us different food this time?
-Be quiet! If you say things like that, Master will run away again!
-Wah! Ah, I understand… You don’t have to give us soup, Master…
The Block Toys whispered among themselves.
Choi Hyun-min spoke calmly to them like a teacher.
“What I’m giving you this time isn’t food… it’s a potion.”
-A potion? That’s something you eat though.
Ah, that’s true.
“That’s right but… this isn’t for eating, you apply it to your body.”
-What a waste.
-If that’s the case, give it to me. I’ll drink it all.
“First, I want to test it once. Anyone willing to volunteer?”
Choi Hyun-min looked at them while slightly raising his hand.
Then Dehof and Hans stepped forward at the same time.
-I’ll do it.
-I’ll try it first, Master.
Hmm, two should be enough.
The reason Choi Hyun-min, who had already tested the effects, specifically called these two forward.
Was because they weren’t ordinary humans.
‘If Baldun is right… I need to cover these guys with stealth potion too before attacking the 15th Floor.’
Whether it works properly on them.
How long it can last.
It wouldn’t be too late to use it after fully confirming those things.
“Then I’ll try the stealth potion on you two first.”
-Understood.
-You can start.
When the two nodded.
He carefully opened the bottle cap.
Then held it with both hands.
Splash splash splash.
He poured it over both their heads simultaneously.
-Ugh!
-Th-this is…
“Bear with it a little. Don’t move.”
The guys were flustered by the water suddenly pouring over their heads.
Among them, Hans opened his mouth as if trying to say something toward this direction.
But he couldn’t hear it.
“That’s enough.”
Like a lie, the two people’s figures completely disappeared.
Along with that, even their voices were completely erased.
-Huh? Hans disappeared.
-The bald idiot disappeared too…
-Wait, didn’t Master boil those two into soup and eat them?
“Wait a moment.”
Choi Hyun-min stared at the place where the two people had disappeared.
He picked up his phone and turned on the stopwatch.
‘From now… 1 second.’
The place where the two had been.
Just like when Choi Hyun-min had done it, no presence could be felt there at all.
The same went for sound.
“You two, can you hear my voice?”
With a hopeful heart, he spoke toward them.
But…
There was no answer.
Even if they had reacted, it was a natural result since they couldn’t be seen or heard.
Then…
“Whoever wants to eat soup among you two, try picking up my phone.”
This time there was a reaction.
The phone that was clearly placed respectfully on the floor.
As if possessed by a ghost, it floated up into the air.
Exactly to the height of the Musket Soldiers.
“Good. Even in invisible state, there’s no problem at all hearing my voice.”
He conducted various experiments like this.
The results were no different from when Choi Hyun-min had directly experimented on his own body.
If there was one difference…
[Skill: Radar Mode is activated.]
The moment he activated Radar Mode.
Golden silhouettes flickered where the guys were likely to be.
He couldn’t see exactly what actions they were taking.
Or what they looked like.
But considering that the stealth potion completely hid their appearance…
‘This isn’t a problem with the stealth potion, but rather Radar Mode being incredibly excellent.’
After time passed like this.
When the two people’s figures appeared again.
Only then did Choi Hyun-min check his phone screen.
“10 minutes. Exactly 10 minutes.”
This was sufficient.
Originally, the Musket Soldiers and Dehof.
These guys had more than enough firepower to spare.
‘In 10 minutes, they could kill dozens of boss monsters.’
With this much, the preparation was perfect.
“Now, from here on we’re going to conquer the 15th Floor.”
-15th Floor?
-Can we go right now?
“No, we can’t go right away. There’s something we need to do before going.”
The Block Toys shook their heads left and right.
This time, he poured stealth potion on all twenty-one Musket Soldiers and Dehof.
-Ugh! It’s cold!
-Th-this isn’t something we drink, right?
-Listen to Master!
-This feels weird…
The guys who had been chattering as they pleased.
The noisy room soon became quiet like a lie.
Along with their figures that disappeared without a trace.
‘From now… exactly 10 minutes.’
Choi Hyun-min’s stopwatch began to gradually count down from 10 minutes.
“No need to panic. From now on, you go down to the maze as you always do. Go there, conquer the 15th Floor and come back. Got it?”
Nod nod.
Unlike before, perhaps thanks to Radar Mode.
He could slightly see golden silhouettes nodding their heads toward this direction.
“Then, let’s go.”
As if understanding his words.
Twenty-two golden silhouettes rushed toward the desk.
The guys disappeared one by one the moment they encountered the Maze Toy.
When the last one had all entered.
The Situation Board appeared before his eyes.
‘Should I use it too?’
I’m not going in directly though.
Choi Hyun-min pondered for a moment.
-If you happen to conquer the 15th Floor. Absolutely. Absolutely apply [Stealth Potion] all over your body before conquering it. All of Master’s soldiers as well.
Suddenly Baldun’s words flashed through his mind.
The fact that he said that meant…
‘Probably means I absolutely must use it, right?’
Since he didn’t want to ruin things for no reason.
He carefully poured the second potion over himself.
***
‘Is this the 15th Floor?’
***
Choi Hyun-min tilted his head.
‘Something… this is completely different from the 15th Floor I know?’
He already knew the 15th Floor inside and out.
What kind of terrain appeared.
What kind of boss monsters appeared.
Although he hadn’t gone down directly, he had studied it hundreds of times through videos.
But…
The space beyond the current Situation Board was too different from the 15th Floor he knew.
Clearly the 15th Floor should have a giant rhinoceros-like boss appearing on a vast plain…
Crackle. Crackle.
Wooden houses burning in fire and spewing black smoke.
Even the ground was engulfed in flames, bubbling and boiling – this place was-
‘Ruins… Or else… Hell.’
Even though it was clearly beyond the screen.
The blazing flames seemed to make even his body feel hot.
Even though it’s clearly beyond the screen.
His body seemed to grow hot from the blazing flames.
“Don’t move carelessly. We don’t know what might come out.”
Choi Hyun-min gave orders, forgetting that he had used an invisibility potion.
Fortunately, they seemed to hear his words and stopped walking abruptly.
Perhaps the Transcendent Lord’s system was conveying his words to them.
‘Or maybe people who used invisibility potions can communicate with each other.’
He didn’t know the reason, but now that he knew they could communicate.
Communication had definitely become easier.
“Maintain formation in a single line, and move forward slowly. Dehof, you can’t just rush out even if there are enemies. Not until I give the command.”
Nod.
Choi Hyun-min felt slightly relieved seeing the golden silhouette swaying.
He kept his mouth tightly shut and stared intently at the situation board.
‘Is there really something there?’
The sound of fire burning.
Other than that, no other sounds could be heard.
No enemies were visible either…
‘What? Was I scared for nothing?’
Just as Choi Hyun-min’s mind began to relax a little.
Bang!
Something fell from the sky with a thud.
“Wh-what?!”
An unbelievable shockwave!
At the same time, a dust storm rose up, turning the screen hazy.
The golden silhouettes instantly collapsed to the ground.
Groooooooo!
A bizarre scream echoed from within the suddenly risen dust cloud.
A bull? An orc or troll?
No, that’s not it.
This is…
A dragon…
And it’s…
‘A Bone Dragon…!’
An overwhelmingly large Bone Dragon.
With its head lowered deeply, it was glaring at the golden silhouettes.
-Something… It definitely seems like some guys crossed over here…
Gasp!
The moment the dust cloud completely cleared.
Choi Hyun-min unconsciously held his breath.
A size that easily appeared to exceed dozens of meters.
Where had the scales and flesh gone?
A dragon with only bones remaining stood there like a mountain.
‘Wh-what the hell is this?!’
A hideous appearance that would appear in nightmares.
Where the eyes should have been, there were gaping holes.
The mouth was the same.
Instead of skin, rotting flesh was dripping down like liquid.
Most of all.
The tremendous magical power felt from the creature.
Even though he was clearly watching through a screen across dimensions.
Gulp.
The creature’s magical power pressed down as if it would crush his entire body.
-Or maybe…
The Bone Dragon stared at where the golden silhouettes were for a while without saying anything.
Suddenly it seemed to twist its head toward the screen-
-Is it here?
Whoooooooosh!
The giant dragon’s head burst through the situation board.
‘Ahhhhhhh!’
