Chapter 24

The moment Seo Jun’s sword pierced precisely through the intersecting pattern.
A crackling sound erupted right in front of him.
It was instantaneous.
Blue lightning current flowed into the sword in a heartbeat.
As the blue lightning was absorbed into Seo Jun’s blade, it turned white and collected there.
Sparks crackled nearby, and the sword grew heavy, a numbing sensation spreading through his hands.
“Hah.”
Seo Jun swung the sword.
The white lightning gathered on the blade shattered with a bang and rushed toward the wall.
Crash!
The lightning struck the bookcase mounted on the wall directly, lingered for about a second, then vanished.
Thud.
Bang!
The books hit the floor first, and the desk collapsed in their wake.

-What? That’s crazy.
-Is he just using magic as-is?
-What did he do? That wasn’t Weak Point Detection, was it?
-There he goes again, doing something only he can pull off.

It was exactly as the viewers saw.
The key to conquering the Tower Master.
‘He really was the creator. As expected.’
Seo Jun smiled with satisfaction and leaned back onto the floor.
Crackle!
Lightning passed through the space above him in an instant.
Seo Jun identified the subtle intersection point again, drove his sword through it, and swung toward the Tower Master.
Pure white lightning flew toward the Tower Master and struck the shield directly.
Normally he could’ve dodged with Teleportation, but the Tower Master held his ground instead.
The semi-transparent spherical shield cracked visibly.
“Looks like his own magic can break it too.”
Blue lightning drew lines through the air, and white lightning answered by drawing lines in turn.
The exchange repeated, the fractures in the shield spreading wider until it finally shattered.
Immediately after, Seo Jun swung his sword toward the glass tube behind him, sending lightning flying.
“You pathetic insect!”
The Tower Master’s pupils dilated in an instant.
He had no choice but to teleport away.
Crash!
Finally, the glass tube shattered.
Inside, a sphere the size of a soccer ball began to glow and tremble.
The Tower Master, who had dodged to Seo Jun’s side, furrowed his brow.
And he began to glare at Seo Jun.
“Ha…… So you believed breaking that would solve everything. But you’re mistaken. The Core is merely a device that refines the infinite magical power the Magic Tower provides into something easier to accept and sends it to me.”
Seo Jun shrugged and spoke.
“You panicked.”

-True lol
-Clearly it’s resolved
-Did he discover the identity of infinite mana?
-A transformer lol

Despite Seo Jun’s mockery, the Tower Master didn’t yield and continued.
“Even without the Core, I can use infinite magical power. In fact, with more power flowing in, my strength only grows stronger. Since we’re here, I’ll use this power to end you quickly.”
Capillaries illuminated on the Tower Master’s face, beginning to glow blue.
“You talk too much.”
Seo Jun rested the sword on his shoulder.

-Look at him explaining things. Getting flustered, are we?
-Transformer it is
-Just endure and it should work
-Phase 3 incoming!

Those with experience in the game quickly caught on.
If they survived the time limit, the Tower Master would destroy himself automatically.
Seo Jun also caught the hint from the chat.
“The AI level is pretty low. Without using lightning, there’s no way to break the shield. But he just uses lightning and digs his own grave.”

-Lol
-He’d be toast anyway from just basic magic and shield. The channel owner would leave once the time limit hits lmaooo

“Then…… die.”
The Tower Master extended his hand.
Magic generated and the air was drawn in with a force that felt far stronger than before.
Then the Tower Master vanished instantly.
He reappeared behind Seo Jun.
“Pathetic insect.”
Boom!
Thunder roared and blue lines were drawn.
Seo Jun heard the sound and dodged right.
Just as he tried to plant his sword in the lightning, the floor beside him rose.
Seo Jun sharply altered his blade’s trajectory, destroyed the stone, and the lightning dissipated.
The Tower Master vanished again, this time appearing in front of Seo Jun.
Seo Jun didn’t miss the Tower Master’s hand with veins bulging from it.
Boom!
The Tower Master’s magic began to rain down relentlessly.
Stronger and faster than before.
Seo Jun searched for patterns amid the downpour of magic.

-The difficulty is legitimately insane
-And the channel owner dodges all of it too
-I don’t even know if this is supposed to be unbeatable or what
-Lol they put so much work into this and set the difficulty so high nobody can do it

“Yeah, I feel it every time too, but the creator seems a bit of a sadist.”
Arrows of ice shot past both sides of Seo Jun.
Simultaneously, lightning struck from behind.
“And I’m not sure how long we need to hold out, but ending him might be better than letting him self-destruct.”
Seo Jun dodged to the side and immediately planted his sword into the lightning.
The blade glowed white as it charged.

-Stop watching the chat while dodging, you bastard.
-Hahahahaha
-Declaring he’ll end it mid-fight.
-The lightning generation on the blade is really cool though

White lightning burst from the tip of Seo Jun’s blade.
At the same time, blue lightning came flying.
Two magics crossing in midair.
It was dangerous.
“He relied on the shield and just fired it off.”
The Tower Master’s refreshed shield shattered, and Seo Jun evaded the lightning.
Then he drove his sword into the center of the magic like drawing from a sheath and pulled it back out.
Lightning gathered again.
‘I’ll end it here.’
Now, with no shield, was the opportunity.
Crash!
Lightning struck from the tip of Seo Jun’s blade, and predictably, the Tower Master was already gone.
He had teleported.
But.
“Ugh.”
A sound came from the right.

-???
-What happened?
-Why is there a sword in the Tower Master’s stomach?
-Haha he predicted the teleport lol

“Mages really do have fragile bodies.”
Seo Jun’s right hand was empty.
He had predicted the teleportation, fired the lightning, and simultaneously thrown his sword.
Seo Jun approached and pulled the sword from the mage’s belly.
Cough.
Dark blood streamed from the Tower Master’s mouth.
The Tower Master, gripping his waist, lifted his head and glared.
“This insect…….”
“Shut up.”
The tip of Seo Jun’s sword glowed, and the Tower Master’s conquest was complete.

[The Master of the Magic Tower, Duke, has been defeated]
[You have obtained Fragment of Order (3/4)]

-Nice!
-Rewatch the ending. It’s insane.
-Clearly he just threw the sword, right? Got lucky?
-Stop talking nonsense lol
-He was firing lightning but kept dodging so he threw the sword lmaooo
-Insane

“I guess the guards won’t come this time either?”
Seo Jun looked around the Magic Tower quietly and spoke.

-Yeah
-Three Rulers cleared!
-First clear again!

“Then I’ll take the mission reward.”

[Cleared Tower Master without using Weak Point Detection — Mission Reward: 1,417,000 won]

Seo Jun clicked the success button for the mission that had risen to 1.4 million won.
Then a signature congratulations chime sounded, and the reward was delivered to Seo Jun in the form of a donation.

-Lmao a “safe asset” that turned out to be risky huh
-Let’s see what happens
-Would’ve been fun if we had betting too
-Only the channel owner’s grinning

[‘Bangjoo’ has donated 100,000 won!]
[Great stream. So it really was just about skill. Wow.]

“Oh, thank you for the 100,000 won donation, Bangjoo.”
But the content of the donation message seemed meaningful.
Looking at the chat, Seo Jun could see why.

-Oh. The author of the post.
-Bangjoo was watching too wow
-They’re a famous analyst.
-They used to be a pro at that card collection game.
-According to Bangjoo, skill is all you need.
-According to Bangjoo, the channel owner is incredibly skilled.
-According to Bangjoo, if the channel owner had gone pro, they’d have won the championship.

Apparently a notable person.
Anyway, how far are you people planning to go with this?
Seo Jun shook his head in disbelief.
“Well then, I’ll leisurely explore the Magic Tower now. Nobody to bother us anyway.”

-Yeah you killed everyone lmaooo
-Man, I want Weak Point Detection too. It’s so cool
-Like that’d help you use magic huh?
-I don’t even want lightning lol

Seo Jun explored the map and chatted with viewers before heading down.
And the moment he left the Magic Tower.
A cutscene began to play.

-Huh???
-I’ve never seen this before
-Has this stream ever had anything that’s a first lmaooo

* * *

Colorful light streamed through stained glass.
Click, click.
A woman with distinctive violet hair cascading to her shoulders, wearing a hat pulled low, walked in.
The camera shifted to a man gazing up at a mural, then the woman stood beside him.
Both wore neat uniforms.
The man spoke first.
“What about Ruler?”
The man watching the mural didn’t move his head.
“There’s a friend who did the work for us.”
The woman’s soft voice sounded.
The violet-haired woman also looked up at the mural.
“Was everything dealt with?”
“No. Just the rotten branches. Three out of four.”

-Sounds like the channel owner.
-Are they from the Order Faction?
-The way they say “rotten branches” makes it seem like the Order Faction.

The story line of the Chaos Faction in the stream is, in essence, a conflict between the Order Faction and the Chaos Faction.
Even with the reset through the Capsule, the structure remains unchanged: the Chaos Faction assassinating evildoers in society, the Order Faction.
The Chaos Faction pursues Chaos, the Order Faction pursues Order.
The Chaos Faction calls the Order Faction tyranny, while the Order Faction calls the Chaos Faction lawlessness.
Here, Chaos is not merely disorder, but rather a free state that births Order.
“Are they from the Chaos Faction?”
A flat voice.
“I don’t know. They didn’t assassinate in their usual way.”
The woman’s voice tickled his ear.

-Haha lmaooo
-Channel owner. The creator says that wasn’t an assassination.
-Hahahahahaha
-Creator-approved: the channel owner’s actions were not assassination.
-This might cause some controversy.

The viewers seemed fixated on something strange.
“Think we could recruit them to our side?”
This time the woman spoke first.
“No idea.”
The man echoed her words.
“We’ll have to find them in person.”
The woman sighed and turned to leave. She seemed to be heading out.
“I was planning to go anyway.”
“Yeah, that’s true.”
The woman briefly removed her hat and fixed her hair.
For a moment, her face was revealed.
Viewers erupted when a face as beautiful as Christina appeared on screen.

-So this beautiful woman is coming for us now?
-The story definitely has her as Order Faction though lol
-Should I switch to Order Faction?
-Wait, I actually liked being oppressed.
-You all crazy? No matter what, it’s still Christina we’re talking about.
-So what is this video anyway?
-Only the channel owner sees things like this in a game. Give an upvote lol

“So you’ve finally caught the Tower Master.”
Eve Paimo laughed, a bit hollowly.
It was funny that she was letting out a sigh despite being the one who’d set the mission, but honestly, she didn’t expect him to just brute-force his way through the Tower Master like that.
To clear the Tower Master without a rampage, the barrier needed to be neutralized.
If you had the skill, the easiest method was to exploit the weak point through Weak Point Detection.
That’s why she’d given the streamer a mission blocking Weak Point Detection, asking them to find the pattern in the barrier.
Yet he’d discovered the pattern of lightning magic shown only for a second thanks to his sharp dynamic vision and countered it, clearing it without any help from skills. Without assistance at all.
Lightning reflection. The Lightning Reflection technique.
A system she’d included because it looked cool.
“Come to think of it, I’ve caught the other Rulers through brute force as well. Hmm, so the cutscene is out now, meaning the next stream will definitely be about collecting all the Fragments of Order…….”
It wasn’t that Eve Paimo was thoughtless and all her employees worked overtime for nothing when she set up the Ruler assassination missions on the stream.
Rather.
She wanted to verify something.
That keen eye for discovering patterns.
And that skill for clearing Rulers consecutively as a first.
Regardless.
“I just need to recruit that streamer.”
Other users?
Honestly, she didn’t think she could gather the rest.
“Only a week, so…….”
Eve Paimo called over Kim Yun-chan with a satisfied expression.
“Hmm. What kind of gift would be nice?”
