#Chapter 233
The sound blaring from the speaker was remarkably effective for something hastily assembled in such a short time.
I had devised that sound myself while directly eliminating the monsters, carefully observing their habits and behavioral patterns.
Whenever they found themselves in danger, they would emit a peculiar shriek, and soon after, nearby monsters would come rushing toward them.
So I relayed this information to the Male Ranker and asked him to use that sound to lure the monsters here if possible.
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom―!
It worked perfectly, and the monsters pouring in from all directions naturally rushed toward me.
Watching them, I confirmed my initial assessment—their intelligence was far from impressive.
“Exhale.”
After breathing out sharply, the moment they entered a certain distance, I circulated my brain energy at full power.
Crackle!
Brain energy erupted from my body, and time began to flow sluggishly.
Time hadn’t actually slowed down. My nervous system, superheated by full power, simply granted me that sensation.
But for me, there was no meaningful difference between the two.
Whoosh!
I began to sprint through the slowed time.
I charged toward the nearest enemy and swung my blade, channeling the essence of Soul Severance Sword through it as the blade carved into the creature’s body.
Crash!
Soul Severance Sword is a violent technique.
The monster was sent flying as if struck by an oncoming truck, colliding violently with its own kin.
By then, I was already reaching toward the next one.
Crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle!
Lightning bolts erupted from my other hand, sweeping across the creatures in the vicinity.
Without stopping there, the lightning rapidly spread across the bodies of the other monsters.
It was an attack similar to Chain Lightning among electric magic.
While it spread widely and its power gradually diminished, that hardly mattered.
Crack!
After all, it was my blade that delivered the final blow.
I moved without pause, cutting down everything in sight again and again.
Shriek!
Of course, the enemies didn’t simply accept their fate.
They realized that attacking separately would only result in being picked off individually, so they attacked simultaneously in overwhelming numbers.
‘They all fight the same way.’
Regardless of which enemy I faced, when numbers were overwhelming, they always attacked like this.
It was a tactic as simple as it was effective.
After all, they weren’t well-trained soldiers who understood proper strategy and tactics.
Crash!
But that didn’t mean it would work against me.
I effortlessly shattered their encirclement with a light swing of my blade and swept through their ranks again.
It wasn’t particularly difficult.
I simply surrendered myself to the visible flow of movement, and whenever an enemy appeared before my eyes, I would strike at the opening.
Boom―!
Another creature’s torso exploded. Then I pushed off the ground and dashed toward another location.
Lightning traced the path of my movement like a tail, spreading outward.
I could see the steel plates on the walls and floor melting away in places.
It was as if this entire central space had been trapped within a massive web of electrical discharge.
―The rest of them are heading that way too!
Soon, a male voice came through the speaker.
It seemed the initial swarm wasn’t the end of it. Instead of responding, I silently swung my blade.
Boom, boom, boom―!
Then.
A loud sound echoed from far away, and with a grotesque roar, a creature far larger than the others appeared.
It appeared to be a mutant variant.
Screeeech!
It wasn’t merely oversized—the moment it closed the distance, a tentacle that burst from one of its arms lashed out like a whip.
But the variant wasn’t finished there.
Shrieeeek!
While my attention was briefly diverted, another variant—far more agile than the others—seized the opening and attacked.
I dodged, but this attack was quite threatening.
‘Are these creatures infused with thicker blood from the General and Adjutant specimens?’
That was the impression I got.
Boom!
The two creatures actively used the others as shields while targeting me.
I had already slaughtered the General and Adjutant specimens before, but these were definitely superior to them.
‘They really did create some useless things.’
Well, if they had successfully weaponized these creatures according to plan, they would have been quite formidable.
The problem was that control failed, and instead these creatures were annihilated.
“Grrrraaaagh!”
The massive mutant roared again and swung its tentacles.
This time, instead of blindly evading, I swung my blade.
Slash!
The tentacle was severed in chunks by my swing.
The variant shrieked in pain, but it was difficult to say I’d dealt significant damage.
New tentacles sprouted immediately from where the old ones were cut.
I had never seen such powerful regeneration in the creatures I’d dealt with before.
‘They must have mixed more than just one or two things together.’
Whoever created these must have blended in something else as well.
Rather than engage the massive variant’s tentacles meaninglessly, I focused on evading its attacks while prioritizing the agile variant.
Clang, clang, clang!
The agile variant, judging that it couldn’t win in direct combat, hid among the other creatures and persistently sought out openings.
However, once Jung Han-sung began targeting only that creature, even that strategy proved ineffective.
After all, ambushes only work when the opponent is careless or their attention is scattered.
Clang!
Jung Han-sung deflected the creature’s attack aimed at his flank, then stomped the ground hard with one foot.
Boom!
A section of the Earthland surged upward, blocking the creature’s escape route.
The beast, reflexively trying to retreat, found itself trapped against the rising ground.
Slash!
Without a moment’s hesitation, Jung Han-sung swung his blade and cleaved the creature in two.
Crash!
Immediately after, a whip lashed out, but Jung Han-sung had already abandoned that position and was charging toward the massive mutant.
“Grrrraaaaahhh!”
As Jung Han-sung evaded its attacks, the massive mutant seemed consumed by fury.
Jung Han-sung let out a quiet chuckle at the sight.
The creature’s already simple attack patterns had become even more predictable.
Its power had increased slightly, but if I took a direct hit from it, the wound would still be fatal regardless.
With its attacks simplified, it was actually easier to fight.
Rumble!
The moment Jung Han-sung closed the distance, I manipulated the Research Facility’s floor again, causing it to rise in a spike formation.
It pierced directly into one of the massive mutant’s foot pads.
“Grrrraaaaahhh!!”
The mutant shrieked in agony, writhing its body.
Of course, even in its pain, it didn’t forget to swing its whip and attack Jung Han-sung.
But even its carefully aimed attacks had missed, so there was no way its wild, desperate swings while retreating would land.
Boom!
Jung Han-sung detonated lightning once more to evade the attack, then leaped high and swung his blade.
Lightning surged from Arzka in torrents, and channeling that power directly, I pierced through the enemy’s torso.
Crackle!
“Gggggaaahhh!”
Electricity spread throughout its entire body, and the creature convulsed uncontrollably, unable to regain its senses.
Though the creature seemed to be struggling to regain consciousness and counterattack, Jung Han-sung responded by pouring even more lightning into it.
Rumble—!
In the end, it couldn’t withstand the onslaught and was thrown backward.
For something that had appeared so impressively, its end was pathetically anticlimactic.
Roooaaarrr!
The moment the massive mutant fell, other creatures rushed forward.
But there was no longer any creature that posed a threat to Jung Han-sung.
Crash!
The enemies were simply swept away by him.
* * *
The battle ended when the monster corpses had formed not quite a mountain, but something approaching a small hill.
Jung Han-sung surveyed his surroundings, sword still extended.
The monsters had thrown themselves at him relentlessly until the very end, yet none remained moving.
Every last one had fallen to his blade.
“Phew.”
Jung Han-sung exhaled sharply.
Though he hadn’t sustained any serious wounds, the battle had been far from easy.
His success came largely from the experience he’d gained in his previous encounter.
‘Still, their patterns were similar enough to handle.’
They weren’t identical, but as I continued fighting, common threads emerged. Eventually, I could dodge attacks without even seeing them coming.
Though truthfully, the outcome wouldn’t have differed much even without that prior experience.
―You really did defeat them all single-handedly.
At that moment, the Male Ranker’s voice crackled through the speaker.
Jung Han-sung glanced upward at the ceiling and replied.
“That’s right. Are there any left?”
―None. They’re all dead.
The moment I heard the Male Ranker’s answer, messages suddenly flooded my vision.
A notification confirming I’d completed this floor’s objective.
Jung Han-sung nodded and immediately prepared to leave this floor.
I’d take anything worth carrying, but this place clearly had a massive technological gap compared to Earth.
Floors like this unfortunately yielded nothing to take unless special items were present.
Just as had been the case in the cyberpunk floor.
But then the Male Ranker spoke urgently.
―Your name! Can you tell me your name?
“My name?”
―My real name is Doni. Doni Gellert.
Jung Han-sung paused briefly before speaking.
“Han. Just call me Han.”
―Han… I see. And thank you. Truly.
At Doni Gellert’s words of gratitude, Jung Han-sung chuckled softly and waved his hand. That farewell was sufficient.
Jung Han-sung chose to return to The Tower immediately.
Whoosh!
In an instant, he vanished without a trace.
* * *
The Tower’s floors generally grew more difficult the higher one ascended.
Yet this wasn’t an absolute rule.
Floor 20 was typically harder than Floor 10, but Floor 11 and Floor 12 might not differ greatly. Sometimes Floor 12 and Floor 13 were actually easier than Floor 11.
Occasionally, Floor 12 and Floor 13 proved easier than Floor 11.
Jung Han-sung’s recent experience exemplified this.
He’d encountered several consecutively grueling floors, but afterward, the missions assigned to him were neither particularly difficult nor complex.
Thanks to this, Jung Han-sung pierced through The Tower at a terrifying pace, arriving at Floor 114 a day ahead of the scheduled appointment date.
―Truly, a monstrous pace.
Onyx clicked his tongue in amazement as he spoke to Jung Han-sung, who had just conquered Floor 114 and returned.
Jung Han-sung answered Onyx while slowly strolling through his Territory.
“What’s so surprising about that?”
―No, you didn’t even conquer a single floor today. I thought you were taking it easy, but then you conquered five floors at once.
Sure, in the lower floors I’ve conquered ten floors at once before, but continuously piercing through The Tower in the higher floors is considerably more difficult.
Yet Jung Han-sung accomplished it without difficulty.
Moreover, he hadn’t sustained any significant injuries in the process. Anyone would call it monstrous.
Jung Han-sung shrugged and slowly circled the Village before returning to the center.
“Hmm. It’s getting hard to even call this a village anymore.”
―In all practical respects, this qualifies as a city.
Indeed, Han-sung’s Territory had now transcended the level of a village and reached what could be called a city.
Jung Han-sung nodded and slowly turned his body.
“And this facility is nearly complete as well.”
Before him stood a notably large structure within Han-sung’s Territory.
It was a Temple being constructed to enshrine multiple deities.
Jung Han-sung murmured as he gazed upon it.
“Now I need to decide which deities to enshrine.”
That was an extremely important matter.
