Episode 107

[Tower of Chaos Entry Ticket]

Grade: Unique

Category: Consumables

Restriction: A, B-rank Hunters

Durability: 1/1

A ticket that allows entry into the Tower of Chaos.

Once used, it is completely destroyed, and even if you abandon climbing midway, you cannot re-challenge with the consumed entry ticket.

The Tower of Chaos is one of the special Gates.

The entry condition is minimum B-rank.

You must consume an entry ticket to enter.

Inside the tower, even if you die, you’re just ejected outside – you don’t actually die.

“Ho. Quite an unusual place indeed.”

“That’s not all.”

The Tower of Chaos tests the Hunters who enter.

Trials composed of multiple stages.

Rewards are calculated each time you pass a stage, and you can receive them all at once the moment you stop climbing the tower.

“It’s a place where how well you understand your own abilities is important.”

Just as Sophia’s supplementary explanation said.

If you get greedy and challenge recklessly, it’s all for nothing.

I heard that knowing when to stop climbing is important.

“Gasp!”

“Something so precious!”

The GGG Hunters assigned as escorts gasped.

President Baek couldn’t contain his admiration either.

“Why is everyone so surprised?”

To Ingrid’s question, President Baek answered with a voice suppressing his excitement.

“The average market price per ticket is about 10 billion won.”

“Ah.”

“Actually, it’s hard to obtain even if you have the money.”

Tower of Chaos entry tickets apparently drop at a very low probability when clearing Gates at SSS rank.

A rare item that’s hard to obtain at will even with money.

My hand holding the Tower of Chaos entry ticket trembled.

“It’s a gift.”

“You’ve given me something too precious.”

“It’s a token of trust toward a partner.”

Oh my.

How thrilling.

When I heard about the 30 million dollars, I just accepted it.

But receiving an item of tremendous value in physical form made my heart pound.

As I was fidgeting with the Tower of Chaos entry ticket with a trembling heart.

“E-Executive! How could you give such a precious thing to some Asian!”

One of the Hunters standing behind Sophia shouted with a red face.

Wow.

That guy.

His nose is quite impressive, isn’t it?

“James.”

“Yes, Executive.”

“Who told you to step forward?”

“I’m sorry for objecting to your words, Executive.”

Wow.

Even Happy back home would make a more apologetic expression than that.

An American kobold speaking with a face that wasn’t sorry even one gram.

“The Tower of Chaos entry ticket is a precious asset of the guild.”

“That’s right.”

“It’s not something to just give to a mere C-rank Hunter, is it?”

An A-rank Hunter in a guard role openly challenging an S-rank Hunter and guild executive.

America’s free-spirited nature is something I can’t keep up with.

But you know what.

“James, was it?”

I might not have cared if I hadn’t seen the Tower of Chaos entry ticket.

But arguing about whether my (?) thing that I’ve even seen in person is okay or not is just wrong.

“Yes. I’m in charge of Executive Sophia’s security.”

“Well, I don’t really care about your role.”

I waved the Tower of Chaos entry ticket placed on the table.

The A-rank Hunter couldn’t take his eyes off the entry ticket.

Did you want this that badly?

“You were just talking about ability and such.”

“The Tower of Chaos entry condition is minimum B-rank.”

So.

He’s saying in a roundabout way that a C-rank nobody who hasn’t gained a single enlightenment should get lost and leave the ticket alone.

“You’re saying my ability is lacking?”

“That wasn’t my intention, but it’s up to how you interpret it.”

“Let’s test it then.”

“Excuse me?”

“If I defeat an A-rank Hunter, wouldn’t that sufficiently prove my qualification to receive the entry ticket?”

When I pointed at him with my index finger, his expression twisted.

“What do you think, Executive?”

“You’ve created work that will make Mister Park break a sweat.”

Sophia let out a short sigh.

Don’t worry.

This was all within Baekraemong’s, no, President Baek’s expected range.

Before the meeting.

President Baek said there was a high possibility of receiving a ‘gift’ of considerable value at the meeting.

―Feel free to accept it. However, when there’s pushback, it might be good to show your strength once.

Seeing how surprised they were by the Tower of Chaos entry ticket.

It seems he didn’t think we’d receive a gift of such great value.

But still, the situation President Baek told me about has come to pass.

Good.

Then let’s have the kids show off their abilities a bit.

* * *

Splash!

I stepped onto the sandy beach where waves were crashing.

[Sacred Wall]

A golden barrier was cast on all sides.

Sophia glanced at me as if feeling ashamed.

“This is my oversight. I’m sorry.”

“It’s fine. Since we’ve become cooperative partners anyway, let’s consider it showing off my abilities.”

The barrier blocking all four sides.

It would prevent the impact from spreading outside.

The internal area was about the size of a sports field.

In this case, hit-and-run tactics utilizing mobility won’t work.

The guy called James or whatever was warming up on the opposite side.

“Punishing this shameless bastard is my duty!”

“Please command me to tear that arrogant fool to shreds.”

Their enthusiasm is good, but still.

Let me ask honestly.

“One-on-one against an A-rank Hunter. Can you achieve complete victory?”

The Two Vassals fell silent.

“Sir Isra. What are the odds?”

“In a solo match, I’d say about 70%.”

“What if Ingrid faces him?”

“I’d estimate around 50%.”

“Tch.”

Ingrid didn’t object and just clicked her tongue.

When it came to assessing enemy and ally capabilities.

And estimating the odds of victory, she couldn’t match Sir Isra.

“What’s the win rate if you two join forces?”

“We can achieve perfect victory without a single variable!”

“Then I’ll leave it to you two.”

The strategy ends here.

I won’t summon the other Minions.

Since Sir Isra spoke with confidence, I should trust him.

“Lord!”

“Hoho. I’ll repay Master’s trust.”

The Two Vassals, bursting with fighting spirit, smiled broadly.

Whew.

Even their murderous appearance is dazzling. It’s blinding.

They were beautiful enough to be mistaken for celebrities or models.

“Hoot. Are my opponents beautiful ladies?”

“Shut up. You foolish one who tried to insult our Lord.”

“Be grateful I haven’t torn that mouth apart immediately.”

Geez.

How scary.

Though they’re my Familiars, they’re truly murderous.

The American Kobold’s expression twisted slightly.

“Don’t think I’ll go easy on you just because you’re ladies.”

Swish—

The magic sword’s Blade pointed toward James.

“Is your Weapon that mouth of yours?”

“Grrrr. You won’t complain if I kill all your Summoned Beings, right.”

“Try it if you can. I’ll just watch without lifting a finger.”

I crossed my arms and stepped back.

That guy.

He doesn’t know at all.

That the Two Vassals’ weakness is precisely ‘me’.

Just then, my eyes met Sophia’s.

“Shall we begin?”

“Yes.”

“Yes, Director.”

Clap!

As soon as Sophia’s clap rang out.

The American Kobold’s arms increased from two to four.

It wasn’t some kind of illusion.

[Unique Technique – Weapon Master]

[Awakening – Multi Weapon System]

Two blue arms materialized from Mana sprouted from his back.

Swish!

The American Kobold holding four Swords grinned wickedly.

“I’ll slice you up prettily in a star pattern.”

[Mana Emission]

Speed rivaling or exceeding Kim Yeon-du, a Speed Ability user.

The Kobold who released Mana concentrated in his soles covered dozens of meters in the time it takes to exhale once.

As they say, even rotten fish has its worth.

A-rank was different indeed.

However.

Conversely, it meant it was speed I could ‘perceive’.

Clang!

Sir Isra’s Sword, which had drawn early, parried the Kobold’s attack.

Sir Isra was pushed back about 5 meters at the moment of collision.

“To react to my attack. Not bad. But the difference in strength is clear.”

“Do you really think so?”

Thunk—

The arm materialized from Mana was severed.

The Sword it was holding also fell down with a clatter.

The Kobold’s face turned pale white as he belatedly realized he’d been attacked.

Without resisting the force contained in the four Sword Strikes.

Deflecting them with one Sword.

He even counterattacked just before being pushed back by the remaining force he couldn’t fully dissipate.

“Why didn’t you cut off the real arm?”

“If I had, that scoundrel would have noticed.”

Sir Isra, who had regained his stance, replied in a calm voice.

Certainly, it was Sir Isra who was pushed back due to insufficient strength.

However.

It was the Kobold who took damage.

“Arms created by abilities can be regenerated as much as needed.”

The severed Mana arm sprouted again and lightly grasped the fallen Sword.

“Hahaha. Do you think this is my first time encountering that ability?”

“You’re showing off while using petty tricks to overcome an unreasonable difference in ability.”

“That would be true in a one-on-one fight. However, there’s a Mage behind me.”

That’s right.

This fight isn’t one-on-one.

Sir Isra’s unnecessary lengthy explanation.

Was groundwork for deploying the next move.

[Unique Technique – Eclipse]

[Multiple Casting]

[Lightning X 10]

[Modified Technique – Shatter]

Lightning concentrated into a single point was fired.

If you try to react after seeing it with your eyes, it’s already too late.

The moment the lightning that flew at near-light speed touched the Kobold’s body.

Crack!

[Aura]

Blue currents blooming from his four blades spread widely.

The Kobold who had honed his Weapon Master abilities.

Against an attack he couldn’t even perceive.

The weapons he held reacted and released aura.

A miraculous phenomenon born from the combination of ability and instinct.

Ingrid’s prepared surprise attack was easily blocked.

“Lightning? No. It wasn’t simple magic.”

The Kobold’s eyes trembled.

Speed.

Power.

Nothing about it was ordinary, so it was worth being surprised.

Magic was like a formula.

Since it unfolds according to set techniques, there are certain limits to its manifestation and power.

The lightning Ingrid condensed was a formula that doesn’t exist in the Hunter Industry.

It would be tricky to counter.

“I’d like to chat more with you two ladies, but I have no choice.”

Killing intent flickered in the Kobold’s eyes.

“From now on, I’ll face you with sincerity.”

The Two Vassals’ cheeks twitched.

“Haha. You were serious from the start, yet you’re putting on airs.”

“If you make excuses about not going all out after losing, I won’t let it slide, so come at us properly.”

Mr. American Kobold.

It seems like he picked the wrong opponents to mess with.

Well, if he dies like this, it could practically be called a natural death, couldn’t it.

I humbly pray for the Deceased’s eternal rest… like hell.

“Thoroughly smash him to pieces.”

I boosted the Two Vassals’ work motivation.
