Episode 11

Episode 11

“…How tiresome.”

A voice filled with cold anger.

Narin looked down at her body soaked in orc blood and let out a sigh.

Disgusting.

She was so irritated that she wanted to revive the already dead orc just to kill it again.

-Whoooosh!

Narin summoned a water spirit.

As the water spirit spread out in a disc shape and passed through Narin in one go,

Narin’s body became clean in an instant.

No, not completely clean.

Wounds still remained on Narin’s body.

-Whooom!

This time, the water spirit healed Narin’s wounds.

Water droplets formed over the wounds like ice crystals forming.

After a moment, the droplets disappeared and the wounds closed up.

Narin looked around her surroundings.

Before her eyes was a Blue Forest that reminded her of her homeland.

And behind it, the alien Metal Spaces were visible.

She didn’t know how they had created such a massive green space inside the spaceship.

But seeing the greenery put her mind at ease for now.

However…

“Tsk.”

Seeing the corpses scattered around made her mood sour again.

From orcs to werewolves, cyborgs, and krikkers.

Horribly dead bodies were rolling around on the green grass.

The moment Narin was attacked by the orc.

Other races that had been eyeing the chance to take first place joined in.

Of course, they weren’t difficult to deal with.

They were all pathetic weaklings.

It was just annoying.

She should have kept one alive to torture.

She hated dirty things, but if it could relieve this irritation, it would be a worthwhile choice.

-Graaaah!!!

While Narin was seriously contemplating.

A terrible roar could be heard from the distance.

‘The Seeker?’

An existence that far surpassed the abilities of the races participating in this game.

Not an opponent to fight, but a target one had to run from and hide from to survive.

Even if Narin was an elite elf.

She had to hide when the Seeker appeared.

It hurt her pride.

But that was the absolute rule of this game.

-Whoosh!

Narin climbed up the tree as lightly as dew bouncing off grass blades.

And then, she used Assimilation.

A basic stealth technique that most elves could use.

Narin’s body instantly blended in, hidden by the tree’s shadow.

-Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!

Heavy footsteps.

As the Seeker ran over, the lights began flickering one by one.

Just by moving, it was destroying the spaceship’s structure.

An attack followed by the Seeker’s appearance.

The attack had been annoying.

But the Seeker’s appearance was different.

If the Seeker discovered her location…

‘Death.’

Narin would naturally die.

Not just Narin.

Even if the strongest elf warrior were here, the result would be the same.

The Seeker.

Absolutely.

Never dies.

“…”

Therefore, Narin held her breath.

Quietly.

Praying that the Seeker would pass by her.

However.

-Groooan!!!

The Seeker stopped in front of the park.

‘Could it be…’

Was it trying to eat the corpses?

If so, should she escape from here while the Seeker was eating the corpses?

Narin slightly lowered her head to look at the Seeker.

Sticky black liquid was dripping from the Seeker’s mouth.

Was it drooling?

Narin felt goosebumps rise on her back.

She had to escape from here as quickly as possible!

Just as Narin was about to leap to the next tree.

“Ah, shit…”

Some voice could be heard.

“I’m sure they went this way?”

When she turned her head, this time a human was visible.

A race that was utterly weak.

Not only weak, but stupid as well.

That’s why they were wandering around like that without even knowing the Seeker was there.

Of course, from Narin’s perspective, this was a good thing.

The Seeker would surely discover the human.

And the Seeker would surely kill the human!

Narin planned to escape during that opportunity.

And…

-Gr, graaaaaaah!!!!

As Narin expected, the Seeker discovered the human.

And it roared terrifyingly.

Soon the Seeker would tear that weak human apart.

Narin let out a sigh.

The human approaching the Seeker without knowing anything was so pathetic.

But….

“There you are!!!”

The foolish human, instead of running away upon seeing the Seeker, shouted in a delighted voice.

And the Seeker was startled to discover such a human.

Looking closely, the Seeker’s body, which should have been black and smooth, was covered in wounds.

“Stop running away!”

What kind of situation is this?

Before Narin could properly assess the situation.

-Thunk!!!

An orc’s sword flew through the air and embedded itself in the Seeker’s leg.

Why does the human have an orc’s sword?

The same question was meaningless.

-Kieeeee!!!!

It was already a spot with many wounds.

Thanks to the sword embedding precisely.

The reverse-jointed leg was half-severed and dangling.

“Got it!!!”

The human began jumping around excitedly.

The Seeker limped toward the opposite direction as if trying to escape from such a human.

“You can’t run away now, can you?”

The human approached the Seeker with genuine joy.

Step.

Step.

Step.

The more he approached, the more violently the Seeker struggled.

However.

“Caught you.”

It was useless.

The human who pulled out the orc’s sword.

Literally began to ‘slice up’ the Seeker….

-Thud!

-Thwack!

-Thud!

-Thwaaack!

-Kiiik! Kiiiiiik!!!

It was a strange.

No, a terrifying sight.

A scene that was all the more horrifying because it was incomprehensible!

The human slaughtered the Seeker.

The dying Seeker struggled desperately to escape from the human’s grasp.

Each time the orc’s sword struck, black blood poured from the Seeker’s body like a waterfall.

‘How can this be…!’

Narin learned for the first time.

That the Seeker’s blood was black.

Until now, no one had ever been able to inflict wounds on the Seeker.

‘What am I even watching?’

That kind of thing….

Is possible?

-Kraaaaaaaa!!!!!

With a spine-chilling scream.

Finally, the Seeker collapsed.

Yes.

‘Collapsed.’

That’s what Narin thought.

Because the Seeker doesn’t die!

However….

-Ding!

“What did you say…?”

The game is over?

That means….

‘The Seeker really died?’

Narin stared blankly at the Seeker and the human covered in black blood.

“That can’t be….”

Before the muttering could even end.

Narin was ejected from the Tower.

As an ultra-short-term survivor of a survival dungeon.

* * *

“Phew!”

This is more fun than I thought!

It really feels like I’ve returned to childhood playing hide-and-seek.

I was a bit nervous before meeting the Seeker.

I’m lucky.

It’s as if I was able to kill the Seeker thanks to the defense-ignoring passive skill [Thousand Kill Strike] I happened to obtain.

“Refreshing….”

If I could, I’d want to do it one more time!

-Fanfare!!

Hm?

Suddenly something like a trumpet sound rings out.

It’s completely different from the ding! sound that plays when leveling up or when notifications appear.

Transcendent Achievement?

I’ve never heard of such a thing even during training.

What is this?

Killed something that cannot be killed?

Ah, because attacks don’t work on the Seeker?

100% attack power increase is definitely good.

Recover 15% stamina when killing a living being….

Come to think of it, I heard about this during training.

Life force and stamina are different!

So use skills and items carefully to distinguish between them.

Life force is literally your health bar.

Stamina is the strength to move your body.

Since it’s stamina recovery, not life force recovery.

It’s health recovery, not life force recovery.

Does this mean I won’t get tired no matter how much I kill and kill again?

“Nice.”

Up until now, I had a strong feeling that my stamina couldn’t keep up with my killing talent.

With this reward, there shouldn’t be any problems going forward.

I’m a bit tired from catching the Seeker.

Isn’t there anything to kill?

If even one Orc showed up, I could test it out…

Just as I was looking around.

-Ding!

Again?

What?

Level 10 achieved?

I reached level 5 after entering here.

Already level 10?

“Whoa…”

Is it because I killed the boss?

And not just any ordinary boss, but a survival map’s attack nullification boss that I killed ‘alone’…

Still, I didn’t expect to rise 5 whole levels.

Leveling up isn’t an easy thing.

You’d have to challenge the Tower at least 4-5 times to maybe gain one level.

Levels are something you can only raise by risking your life.

But to have my level rise this quickly.

Wait.

Does this mean I can get another skill?

Oh, I was assigned one before, but this time I can choose directly.

Wow.

All three are good?

[Flawless Supremacy] is definitely a defense upgrade.

They say mental attacks become terrifying as you climb higher in the Tower.

Having it would definitely help without question.

[Wind Step] seems like it would be quite helpful when facing other races.

As I go further, I won’t only be dealing with slow ones like Ratmen and Orcs.

Thinking about not just monsters but other races, this is also an amazing skill.

And [Killing Time]…

The name itself is brutal.

At first glance, it might seem like nothing special.

While [Flawless Supremacy] and [Wind Step] are permanent,

[Killing Time] only lasts 3 seconds.

Of course, speed increases by a whopping 1,000%.

The question is whether I can settle the fight in those 3 seconds.

It’s definitely a terrifying skill, but can I properly make use of it?

“Hmm…”

I fell into deep thought.

Play it safe?

Or.

Take a gamble.

I thought coldly.

This time I was lucky and leveled up to 5, then 10 consecutively.

But I don’t know what will happen next time.

So this choice is bound to have a huge impact on my future.

My brain spins rapidly.

[Flawless Supremacy].

It’s a good skill.

But…

What if I could move before getting hit?

[Wind Step].

This is also a good skill.

Just a 50% increase would give me speed comparable to an Elf.

With Elf-level speed, I could devour everything and more.

However.

Isn’t that the same for Elves too?

What if it only puts me at the same starting line?

“…”

In the end, there’s only one answer.

[Killing Time].

If the others are ‘good’ skills.

This one is an ‘awesome’ skill.

Once I kill one guy, for 3 seconds I’m practically a god.

The other guys would look like slugs.

Even if it’s just 3 seconds.

If it’s a fight between a god and slugs…

Isn’t the result obvious?

“Choose Killing Time.”

Good.

100% attack power increase from Achievement.

15% health recovery on kill.

Plus, thanks to [Killing Time], 1,000% speed increase for 3 seconds when killing a living being.

This should be enough!

Just as I thought that.

-Ding!

Huh? Again?
