Episode 131

There were several facts I confirmed while conquering the B-rank Gate.

The first was naturally the combat power of the new undead.

The result was successful.

The Rift Bureau even said they would submit our conquest record to the World Hunter Association based on the body camera footage.

“What is the second?”

“Whether I could enter the Death Forge from inside the Gate.”

The Death Forge is a space isolated from the outside world.

If entry was possible, I could escape when facing dangerous situations during Gate conquest.

“You could also buy time to regroup.”

“Yeah. But it didn’t work.”

Maybe it’s because Gates are also treated as separate spaces.

When I tried to step into the Death Forge, I was pushed back with a repelling force.

Sir Isra’s expression hardened slightly.

“Won’t there be supply issues once you enter a Gate?”

“The storage function worked normally.”

The subspace function for taking out or storing items and undead functioned normally.

“That’s fortunate.”

“Aren’t you worrying too much?”

“It would be troublesome if a situation like last time happened again.”

Ah.

You mean the Gate created by the Black Heaven Society.

“Hey. That kind of thing doesn’t happen often.”

“They say to be prepared for any contingency. One must always be thoroughly prepared.”

Where did you learn such words?

Anyway.

Even if I couldn’t use the Death Forge for emergency escape, I could use it for supplies.

“I’m glad I checked in advance.”

The combat power of the new minions.

Whether the Death Forge could be used, and so on.

It was useful time as I could confirm much necessary information before conquering the Tower of Chaos.

When I exited the Gate, President Baek looked surprised.

“You’ve already finished the conquest?”

“Yes. I was lucky.”

“Conquering a B-rank Gate in under an hour isn’t something that happens just with a bit of luck.”

President Baek’s cheek muscles twitched.

His expression of suppressing joy was quite impressive.

“Leave the site cleanup to us and get plenty of rest.”

“Thank you.”

I also need to prepare for departure when I get to my studio apartment.

I have loads of luggage to pack.

This is trouble. Real trouble.

A question mark appeared above Sir Isra’s head.

“What business do you have going abroad?”

“The Tower of Chaos is overseas.”

Italy.

Our next destination will be Italy.

* * *

The next day.

The group that gathered at Incheon International Airport boarded the aircraft on time.

“Here are your tickets.”

President Baek distributed the tickets he had purchased in advance.

Wow!

Going overseas for business!

My goodness.

Mom! I made it!

“This is my first time going to Europe.”

“It’s all thanks to you, hyung.”

“Boss. Always loyal, loyal!”

Why is the support team coming along, you ask?

President Baek said it’s employee welfare.

“But everyone except me is in economy class.”

“Are these guys the same as Hunter Park? They should be grateful just to go.”

President Baek is right.”

“Loyalty!”

Since they said they were fine with it, I had nothing more to say.

Hmm.

They’re really okay with it, right?

“All expenses will be covered by company funds.”

I was immediately convinced by President Baek’s whisper.

I’m the only one climbing the Tower of Chaos.

For the support team, it’s practically like going on a European vacation.

There’s no reason to complain about economy or anything else.

They should be grateful even if stuffed in the cargo hold… though that might be going a bit too far.

“Oh my. Don’t we have seats?”

“Palace Interior Minister. We must protect our Lord.”

“Don’t you two lack passports?”

“…”

“…”

The two vassals’ mouths clamped shut.

Apparently passports are essential for booking airplane seats.

I left everything to the boss so I didn’t know, but apparently that’s how it is.

“You can see outside even from Death Space.”

“Ugh. I wanted to experience the sky without using mana.”

“I merely wished to confirm the riding experience of an iron horse, with no personal interest.”

Saying that with a face more full of personal interest than anyone else lacks persuasiveness, you know?

“Boss. You need to take off your shoes when boarding.”

“I prepared slippers knowing this would happen.”

When I pulled out slippers from subspace, Seong-su’s face turned pale.

Heh.

You underestimate my preparedness.

My first time in business class.

I lay back in the comfortable seat and slept like the dead.

“Zzz.”

Maybe it’s because I slept sporadically for a week.

I closed my eyes and when I opened them, Rome’s scenery came into view through the window.

“We need to transfer once here.”

Like a chick following its mother hen, I transferred while only looking at President Baek’s back.

Rome Leonardo da Vinci Airport → Pisa International Airport.

Less than an hour after the plane took off, we arrived at our destination, Pisa.

“Please take us to the Tower of Chaos.”

We caught two taxis and headed to our destination.

“We’ll take the car behind.”

President Baek naturally sat in the front seat.

And I took the chairman’s seat.

I would have liked to say “I’ll sit in front.”

If only the Two Vassals hadn’t been noisily demanding to be let out.

“Now I can finally live a little.”

“Seeing directly is the best compared to Death Space!”

Driver.

Please don’t be too surprised.

These guys are noisy, but they’re not bad kids.

On the way, President Baek briefed us about the Tower of Chaos.

“You’ve probably already checked the information I sent, but I’ll tell you again.”

① Even if you die while climbing the Tower of Chaos, it’s not actual death.

② If you die, you won’t receive rewards up to the maximum floor you climbed.

③ The currently known floor count is 43 floors.

④ When you clear one floor, you get 30 minutes of rest time.

That’s about the summary.

“So we need to be moderately greedy and then exit.”

“That’s right. The monsters on each floor are said to follow random patterns.”

“There will be luck factors involved too.”

President Baek shook his head at Sir Isra’s words.

“They say the difficulty is matched as similarly as possible, but there will be individual differences.”

So it’s luck + skill.

It would be advantageous for Hunters who can respond to various environments.

“There’s exactly that kind of talent right here.”

Who, me?

“Don’t worry, for I, Isra, the Lord’s first sword, am here.”

“Hmph. What nonsense. This Iron Head.”

The Continental Greatest Sword and the strongest existence of the Witch Coven.

Since I had strengthened the Knight Order Members and Witch Coven this time, it felt more reassuring.

“We’ve arrived.”

“Here you go. The rest is a tip.”

President Baek used Italian fluently.

I thought he was a native.

“It’s not bragging, but I can speak about 5 languages.”

That’s definitely worth bragging about though?

Do all people who become executives at major conglomerate subsidiaries in their 40s do this much?

The second taxi arrived a bit late because it got caught at a traffic light.

The Support Team Friends let out exclamations of “Oh!” as soon as they got out.

“So this building is the Tower of Chaos.”

“It looks unique.”

“It feels like several buildings stuck together haphazardly?”

I agreed with Mi-jeong’s opinion.

A blue roof that you’d see in Santorini placed on top of traditional Korean house pillars.

Besides that, various architectural styles from both East and West were mixed together and stuck on haphazardly.

It looked like something a child had playfully stacked up.

It was truly a tower of ‘chaos.’

“Really bizarre.”

I muttered to myself.

I had seen it in photos before.

But seeing it directly doubled the bizarreness.

“Hunter Park. I wish you good fortune.”

“Hyung! Fighting!”

“Hyung! Come back after setting a new record!”

“When you come out, let’s have a pleasant company dinner. I’ll find a good place.”

The group cheering in their own ways.

Feeling both embarrassed and grateful, I scratched the back of my head and bowed.

“I’ll be back.”

I placed my hand on the surrealist artwork-like structure.

[Tower of Chaos entry ticket has been confirmed.]

[Once you enter, the ticket will be completely destroyed.]

[At this grade level, re-entry is impossible even if you obtain additional tickets.]

[Would you like to enter?]

Y/N

If I was going to back down after taking a plane for over half a day.

“I wouldn’t have come in the first place.”

I hit the Y button with my tightly clenched fist.

[Entering the Tower of Chaos.]

Brilliant light struck my retinas.

When I closed my eyes and opened them again.

Instead of the bizarre object, a separate space welcomed me.

* * *

[Welcome to the Tower of Chaos.]

[The purpose of this place’s establishment is to test a Hunter’s qualifications.]

[The higher you climb, the greater rewards you can receive.]

[Be careful. If you’re greedier than your abilities allow, you will lose everything.]

So they’re telling me to know when to go or stop.

Since I’d already heard this story, there wasn’t much impression.

[Tower of Chaos]

[First Trial]

[Silver Fang (C) 1 creature]

[Prepare yourself. Combat will begin in 60 seconds.]

What preparation for just one C-grade creature.

This won’t even be a warm-up.

“Please leave the opening act to the Lord’s first sword.”

It feels like using a butcher’s knife to kill a chicken.

“Go ahead.”

I should let him do as he wants.

[Tower of Chaos]

[Stage 1 begins.]

“Bark!”

“Don’t bark so noisily.”

Slash—

Just a C-grade monster at best.

No need to use Mana Emission.

A clean blade without a single drop of blood.

How fast and precise was it.

Even though it tore through fur and hide and cut through flesh and bone, it remained clean as new.

“Hahahaha. Behold! I am Isra, Lord’s first sword!”

“Making such a fuss over just killing one C-rank.”

“Mage. Shall we make a wager on who will perform better in this battlefield?”

“Fine. I accept. Iron Head.”

[You have cleared the 1st floor of the Tower of Chaos.]

[You are given 30 minutes of rest time.]

[You can stop the challenge or continue immediately.]

“Sir. Want to catch your breath?”

“My body is itching for more. I’d like to rampage a bit longer.”

I should let him do as he wishes.

“Continue the challenge immediately.”

[Tower of Chaos]

[Second Trial]

[5 Silver Fangs (C)]

[Prepare yourself. Combat will begin in 60 seconds.]

Swoosh!

[Tower of Chaos]

[Third Trial]

[7 Werewolves (C)]

[Prepare yourself. Combat will begin in 60 seconds.]

Slash!

“Hmm.”

Watching Sir Isra’s rampage was quite entertaining.

[Your understanding of Imperial Swordsmanship increases.]

The profound insights contained within the sword.

At first, I only felt a dizzying sensation.

Perhaps thanks to my understanding of Imperial Swordsmanship rising considerably, now I could gradually comprehend it.

It was a mysterious sensation.

Heavenly Martial Body, Spirit Eye, and Master of Magic.

The three abilities created a synergy effect, awakening my senses.

[You have cleared the 15th floor of the Tower of Chaos.]

[You are given 30 minutes of rest time.]

[You can stop the challenge or continue immediately.]

Huh?

Already the 15th floor?

The progress is too fast, teacher.
