Chapter 74

#Episode 74

Master?

Me?

I thought he might be mocking me, but Mallarion completely abandoned even the slightest fighting spirit and let his weapon drop.

Since he was in a state where he would die if I attacked him right now, piercing straight through his heart, this was definitely his true feelings.

For some reason I don’t understand, he’s mistaking me for his master.

There’s no need to engage in a full-scale battle, is there?

The goal of the 2nd Floor isn’t to subjugate all enemies, but to defend the castle.

I deliberately spread my killing intent widely to dominate the surrounding atmosphere.

Mallarion flinched and didn’t know what to do, then bowed his head.

“A variable has occurred. We withdraw from here immediately.”

“What? Right now… you mean?”

Mallarion looked at me with eyes that couldn’t comprehend.

Since I didn’t know how this guy’s master usually treated him, I first overwhelmed him with the killing intent I had spread.

The high-grade energy coiled around him like a snake.

Mallarion’s eyes widened as if he came to his senses from the deadly energy that pierced his vital points.

Mallarion, whose body was trembling, drooled and answered with difficulty.

“I will do as you command.”

“…Don’t disappoint me any further.”

“Yes!”

Mallarion took out a horn from his chest and blew it.

Boooooooo-!

At the sound of the horn echoing loudly across the battlefield, the monsters who were continuing their fierce battle looked back in surprise.

And soon, following Mallarion’s command, the soldiers hurriedly changed direction and began to retreat.

After withdrawing the soldiers, Mallarion, who had been watching my mood, carefully asked.

“I’ve withdrawn the soldiers as ordered… but has something happened in the Demon Realm?”

“…Yes, return to the Demon Realm as quickly as possible, something doesn’t seem right.”

“Oh no… Understood, Master!”

Mallarion’s face contorted with worry as he hurriedly began running somewhere.

‘Damn.’

The sight of him running away with his tail between his legs was quite entertaining to watch.

* * *

Tower Master’s Residence.

Lazl, who had been watching Hyun-soo together with the Lord of Souls, was flustered and kept opening and closing his mouth.

“N… No, how does it turn out like that…?”

“It’s his own doing. That’s what he gets for carelessly digging into someone else’s past.”

“Ugh… I just wanted to play a little prank… I didn’t know he’d get such a free ride!”

The Tower Master, holding his throbbing head, hurriedly began adjusting something.

At this rate, it would be entirely possible for Hyun-soo to cruise through to the 9th Floor.

“For the great Tower Master to make changes during a trial, the Tower of Trials has really hit rock bottom.”

“How was I supposed to know it would turn out like this! What kind of monster did you raise and bring here…!”

“Well, anyway, as long as you give my junior appropriate rewards, it’s not my concern.”

Lazl, moving his hands irritably, caused a massive change in Hyun-soo’s trial.

He bit his lips as if in pain at the dimensional change that defied any sense of plausibility.

“Kekekekek, it’s fun to see something interesting by raising a good junior in my old age.”

“Shut up!”

“You made the mistake yourself, so why are you taking it out on an innocent Monarch?”

The dimension of the next floor, the 3rd Floor that Hyun-soo would have to challenge, changed.

This isn’t a metaphorical expression, but literally means the dimension changed.

A smile curved at the corner of Senior’s mouth as he watched this.

* * *

“…What the hell is this.”

Upon reaching the 3rd Floor, a completely different landscape unfolded before us.

If just moments ago it had a distinctly fantasy and medieval feel, now it was an entirely different scene.

It was the appearance of a futuristic city with sci-fi elements, where battleships were flying through the sky and androids were busily moving about.

The other companions also blinked in confusion at the completely changed scenery.

“No matter what, isn’t this too different?”

“I don’t understand this either…?”

“Having thousands of years difference in technology level between floors is a bit much, isn’t it?”

While we were too confused to move carelessly, a System Message appeared as if hastily input.

“What kind of lack of plausibility is this?”

The scenery was so absurdly different that I was looking around in disbelief when Senior’s voice could be heard.

[It must be confusing, but just proceed obediently for now. It’s the Tower Master’s fault.]

‘If it’s a mistake, shouldn’t he give me something? Does being the Tower Master mean he can do whatever he wants?’

[No way, we agreed to raise the multiplier for final reward collection from at least 2x to 3x.]

‘…At least 3x?’

Oh my.

This changes things again.

“Everyone must be confused, but let’s proceed for now. We have to climb the tower anyway.”

“That’s true… We can’t just go back now that we’ve come this far just because we don’t like it.”

As we gathered our weapons and started moving, the slot machine began spinning again as if it had been waiting, and after the numbers spun dizzily for a moment, they suddenly stopped.

[No difficulty conversion for this floor only, so just do it.]

I heard the Tower Master’s voice, not Senior’s.

He seemed quite angry, speaking each word with emphasis.

‘Well, that’s fine by me.’

[You’re just like your senior, so damn annoying… Look forward to the next floor!!]

‘Ah, yes.’

This was my first time in an alien-themed battle, but having encountered it so much in media, I felt no discomfort.

Humans in pristine white futuristic armor were engaged in fierce combat with strangely-shaped aliens.

Though humanity armed with future technology possessed excellent firepower, the enemy numbers were far too overwhelming.

There were creatures with tentacles, and aliens whose entire bodies were covered in blade-like appendages.

Some aliens were so tall you had to crane your neck to see them, while others fought with swords and guns like humans.

“The scale suddenly got huge.”

“Right, what if our attacks don’t work on them?”

“No way that’ll happen.”

I wasn’t sure what level these aliens were at for now.

There weren’t any NPCs around to give us information either.

I couldn’t even sense the mana that was usually felt from monsters.

It was similar to mana but seemed to be a different type of power altogether.

“We can’t just stand here watching, so let’s give it a try.”

When I kicked off the ground and soared into the sky, my body felt much lighter.

It seemed to be a world with different gravity than Earth.

As I deployed Desperado, the pent-up death force was released, creating black waves across the battlefield.

With the arrival of a Monarch appearing with a fluttering black cloak, most of the attention on the battlefield instantly focused on me.

The death force, a power from another dimension, seemed to feel even more sensitive to them.

Of course, that didn’t change what I had to do.

I needed to show my companions what level they were at, so I first called upon the power dwelling in my heart.

I could feel the aliens densely filling the sky panic at my power and immediately try to respond with gunfire.

Dark red laser-like attacks aimed at me, but they couldn’t penetrate my death force and simply dissipated.

The circuits infused with death force blazed hot as I filled the surroundings with Black Spears.

I could see most of the humans continuing their sloppy combat while focusing their attention on me.

Their morale, which had been subtly dropping as they were pushed back in battle, began to rise.

“Now, let’s see what level you’re at.”

The gathered Black Spears began their reverse assault.

The attacks poured down like a torrential downpour, completely sweeping away the battle lines of the alien race Azatra.

The Black Spears penetrated the enemies’ armor far too easily, creating a massive void in the battlefield.

The power I could roughly sense was comparable to the monsters we faced on the 2nd floor earlier, yet their defense was practically nonexistent.

Baek Do-hyeon also tilted his head seeing this and said.

“Isn’t this too soft, even for being soft?”

“Right…? I don’t think it was that bad before?”

It felt like piercing soft tofu with a toothpick.

The enemies pierced by Black Spears even died immediately and became prey for my Soul Absorption.

I was even getting plenty of experience points!

Which meant.

‘How much is all this worth…!’

This was practically a Soul Absorption and experience point event.

Until now, hunting 10,000 creatures would barely fill 10% of my progress, but to think I’d get such easy gains!

My companions flew over with rings on their backs and stood beside me.

Glass-like wings protruded from the rings.

“Wow, what’s that?”

“Those guys gave them to us.”

Looking down, the humans in white armor were looking up at us.

“They’re perceptive.”

“Right, why don’t you go get one too?”

“It looks cool, but I don’t need it.”

“Right?”

Hunter Baek Do-hyeon stretched and raised both hands from behind.

Blue flames began from his left hand, while a gust of wind started from his right.

He combined the two elements compressed with mana.

The flames began surging along the flow of the wind.

Before manifesting the element, I deployed a magic circle in front of me and let the attack pass through.

Kwaaaaang-!

A massive flame tornado over several hundred meters shot out in a straight line.

The aliens that had swarmed in again were swept away once more.

Hunter Baek Do-hyeon seemed surprised by how effective it was, blinking in confusion before pulling his lips into a grin.

“Hey, it looks like they have no resistance to magic at all?”

“That does seem to be the case, doesn’t it?”

I wondered if it was because my death force was too powerful, but Hunter Baek Do-hyeon’s skill made it clear.

We got stronger without doing anything.

At this moment, my companions and I were all thinking the same thing.

“Let’s blow off some steam to our heart’s content today.”

Each of us mercilessly unleashed the large-scale attacks we had been saving up.

The Azatra that densely filled the sky began to be swept away all too easily.

The front line that had been pushed to its limits was instantly restored and even began advancing toward the enemies.

The humans watching from behind were kneeling and crying as if they had seen gods.

“Here comes a big one-!”

Jinu, who had been getting pushed around until now, unleashed hundreds of boomerang blades made of darkness.

He seemed to have overexerted himself, breathing heavily, but each boomerang sliced through dozens of enemies before losing power and stopping.

“Wow! That’s amazing!”

“Haaah… huuuu…! This much is easy!”

With experience points flooding in like crazy, carpet bombing continued toward the aliens as if we had become berserkers.

The aliens seemed to try a counterattack belatedly, as a massive battleship turned toward us.

Of course, no one here was foolish enough to just take it after seeing all that.

Without exception, we all began pouring attacks toward the battleship simultaneously.

An arrow formed by Kim Yeo-ul’s Yeonje and Hunter Baek Do-hyeon’s flames combined flew forth, and Jinu’s enlarged darkness bit the battleship with its molars.

And finally, death force honed on the scythe’s blade drew a line of death.

The number of aliens that had been swarming densely decreased at a visibly rapid pace.

Amid the full-color barrage of attacks, Hunter Kang Cheol-u just stood watching while Seo Iram stood beside him providing protective barriers.

An overwhelming difference in power that could hardly be called a battle.

Had thirty minutes passed?

The last battleship of the aliens that had been attacking in the hundreds of thousands was torn to shreds, and the clear success signal rang out.

“Ah, it’s been a while since I relieved stress so well.”

“I hope only trials like this keep coming from now on.”

“I agree.”

[Probably the same type of trials will keep coming from now on.]

‘Huh?! Really!?’

[It’s not like I changed it from the beginning, and changing the flow of trials in the middle of already challenging them takes enormous power. Unless you want to go bankrupt twice, it should be considered impossible.]

A smile unconsciously spread across my lips.

‘The Tower Master must care for me dearly.’

[They seem quite angry though…]

While we had just relieved stress, loud cheers from the war-weary humans could be heard.

There were some who clapped, knelt in prayer, hugged each other, and shed tears.

Along with that, for some reason, it seemed like the Tower Master’s screams could be heard.
