Episode 132

The Tower of Chaos is said to have its difficulty spike dramatically every 10 floors.

Floors 1 ~ 10: A level that ordinary B-rank Hunters can clear.

Floors 11 ~ 20: A level that peak B-rank Hunters can barely clear.

Floors 21 ~ 30: A level that B-rank Hunters capable of Aura / Silent Casting can clear

Floors 31 ~ 40: A level that Hunters who can fight on equal terms with A-rank Hunters can clear.

Floors 41 ~ 50: A level that even peak A-rank Hunters find difficult to overcome.

Data accumulated by Hunters who have challenged the Tower of Chaos so far.

The highest record was floor 43, wasn’t it?

Even Hunters comparable to peak A-rank haven’t stepped foot on the 50th floor.

Looking at that difficulty level.

“I am my Lord’s sword!”

I could understand why Sir Isra was going on a rampage.

[You have cleared the 36th floor of the Tower of Chaos.]

[You are given 30 minutes of rest time.]

[You can stop the challenge or continue immediately.]

From floor 1 to floor 36.

I ran straight through without resting even once.

I just kept clicking the challenge button immediately.

Before I knew it, I had passed the halfway point.

“Sir. Are you alright?”

“I don’t need to catch my breath, so I’m perfectly fine.”

Undead are the dead.

They don’t need to breathe like the living, and their stamina rarely depletes.

You ask if there’s a ‘stamina’ stat among the abilities?

All Undead possess a passive skill called [Immortal Legion].

The grade differs depending on the level.

But commonly, it was a skill that corrected activity capacity in proportion to stamina.

“There are convenient aspects to having this kind of body.”

Sir Isra smiled wryly.

“If I had this body when I was alive, I could have stayed by His Majesty’s side.”

The last image of Sir Isra I saw in my dream came to mind.

A knight who collapsed in an unknown forest, all his strength depleted, slowly dying.

That lonely sight was impossible to forget.

“Hmm.”

I held back a bitter smile that was about to form and changed the subject.

“Didn’t you consume quite a bit of mana?”

“This much is fine.”

“Iron Head. This big sister will take over, so rest for a bit.”

“I can go all day.”

“It’ll be great if you waste all your mana and then a strong enemy appears. Right?”

“Hahaha. Are you jealous of my performance? You also need to conserve mana just the same.”

“Uggggggg.”

Mages fall short by several levels when it comes to sustained combat.

Though Ingrid’s ability is excellent for instantaneous firepower and creating variables.

“Sir. Rest a little.”

“But my Lord!”

“Ingrid’s words make sense too.”

36 consecutive battles.

Without even needing to use Aura, I fought efficiently using only Mana Emission.

Still.

Like clothes getting wet in drizzle, I had consumed about 1/3 of my mana reserves.

There’s no need to overdo it when we have abundant allied forces.

“I shall obey your command.”

Sir Isra replied in a voice with slightly suppressed emotion and returned to my side.

Take it easy.

Otherwise your bones will wear away.

[Tower of Chaos]

[37th Trial]

[Ogre (A-rank) 1 creature]

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

“How nice that they give us plenty of time to prepare.”

“Should I bring out the Skeleton Mages?”

“Thank you for your consideration.”

I brought out 20 Skeleton Mages from Death Space.

“Gegeegel.”

“Master. Please have them prepare Fireballs.”

“Alright. Everyone cast Fireball.”

“Gegeegel.”

The Skeleton Mages clattered their jawbones.

Several Fire Orbs were generated about 30 centimeters away from their skeletal fingers.

“Please tell them to release mana control.”

Common sense dictates that if you release control while Fire Orbs are manifested.

They would explode right there.

Since it’s Ingrid, she must have some idea.

“Release it.”

“Geegel.”

The moment the rearranged mana structure was about to scatter into the air.

[Unique Technique – Eclipse]

Ingrid wove the crimson orbs together with her Unique Technique.

[Fireball X 20]

[Cyclone]

[Modified Technique – Shatter]

Thanks to my mastery of mana and Spirit Eye.

I could glimpse the true nature of the technique Ingrid displayed.

It was as beautiful as viewing a masterpiece painting.

She forcibly held onto the mana that was about to explode immediately as the rearrangement structure collapsed.

She incorporated it into her Unique Technique and changed the structure.

This was a part that showed Ingrid’s genius ability.

“So this is the Eclipse Witch.”

“I have never seen a mage with such skill in my lifetime.”

Sir Isra also let out an exclamation of admiration.

【Isn’t the Unique Technique amazing?】

“You thief. The technique isn’t everything.”

【I don’t really understand what’s so amazing about it.】

“Even if the Skeleton Mages released control, interfering with mana rearranged by others is no ordinary feat.”

A technique that only an Archmage could imitate.

It’s not like she’s connected spiritually like me and the Undead under the Witch Coven.

It’s mana control and calculation ability that defies common sense.

The end of the violently rotating whirlwind was sharpened as sharp as a spear.

“Kuooooooo!”

The moment the ogre spread both arms and let out a roar.

Stab!

Wind concentrated to its limit pierced through its chest.

A whirlwind that focused explosive energy and flame mana into a single point.

Sizzle, it tore through the ogre’s tough skin.

The liberated heat energy burrowed inside and ravaged its internals.

“Kuo…”

The roaring ogre collapsed with a deflated sound.

[You have cleared the 37th floor of the Tower of Chaos.]

[You are given 30 minutes of rest time.]

[You can stop the challenge or continue immediately.]

“Hoho. How was the girl’s magic?”

“Amazing. It was like a work of art.”

“Oh my. My heart is pounding since Master praised me.”

“Stop your tricks, mage.”

“That’s all you have to say?”

“Not bad.”

“Hoho. Even Iron Head has an eye for things.”

A D-rank magic like Fireball couldn’t even touch a hair on an ogre.

Even exploding it at close range wouldn’t burn its hide.

Their natural magic resistance was so outstanding.

Ogres were called disasters by mages.

Even with the 60-second preparation time.

It was impossible to hunt an ogre by combining just 20 D-rank spells and one C-rank spell.

“It’s comfortable now that we’re sharing the mana consumption.”

Eclipse doesn’t consume much mana.

Since the Fireballs were cast by 20 Skeleton Mages, Ingrid had plenty of mana to spare.

“We’re already at the 38th floor.”

We cleared up to the 37th floor like breaking bamboo without consuming full power.

At this rate, we might really be able to conquer the Tower of Chaos.

Hehehehe.

I’m getting greedy.

Breaking through the 50th floor that no hunter has ever achieved!

Isn’t this worth aiming for?

“Lord. Trust us.”

“Hohoho. Master just needs to watch. Leave the fighting to us.”

Sigh.

I never said I’d swing a sword myself, did I?

“I trust you all.”

“Yes!”

“I’ll repay Master’s trust.”

【Great Lord. Please give me some work too.】

“Shut up, thief.”

“Don’t butt in!”

【Thief. Quiet.】

Even Roan, who had been quiet, joined in.

Using his five words that he can use once per minute just for teasing.

Everyone’s serious about teasing. Really.

[Tower of Chaos]

[38th Trial]

[1 Ogre (A), 1 Troll (B)]

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

Should I start getting serious too?

“Both of you come here.”

I placed my hand on Sir Isra’s head like a blessing.

“Hatred Release.”

[The target is imbued with divine power.]

[Hatred Release is applied.]

An A-rank divine spell taught by Roan, the evil god’s constellation.

A skill where the buff effect gets longer and stronger as combat continues.

I cast the same divine spell on Ingrid too.

“Master. Please pet me more.”

“Mage. I told you to stop your tricks.”

“Didn’t you like it?”

“Hmm. Ahem.”

Why is Sir blushing like that?

He’s not angry about me petting a knight’s head, is he?

“If you don’t like it, you can refuse next time.”

“Hmm. How could I do that? It’s all for Lord’s sake, so I must endure it.”

The mana integrated with divine power has quite a bit of leeway.

Since I can’t cast spells on all minions, I gave buffs to Draco and the Abyss Revenant too.

【I’m fine.】

【Great Lord. Aren’t you going to do it for me?】

“Are you going to fight directly in front?”

【Eek! I-I’m fine, Great Lord.】

Now.

Shall we push forward more?

I pressed the Y button vigorously with my right hand.

* * *

Hunter Guild GGG located in California, USA.

Sophia opened the guild master’s office door with a pleasant smile.

“He finally entered. Mister Park.”

“The Tower of Chaos, you mean.”

A third-generation overseas Korean and a symbol of the American Dream.

The legendary hunter who was also the owner of GGG, Yoo Jeong-kim, twisted his lips.

“Anyone watching would think he’s from our guild.”

“We’re in a cooperative relationship, so isn’t it the same thing?”

“Let’s say that’s true.”

Yoo Jeong-kim chuckled briefly.

Just seeing Sophia, who had been gloomy lately, smile brightly was meaningful.

“Come to think of it, that bastard James is infuriating.”

The attendant who had boldly stepped forward when they went to Korea.

Since he was a hunter on William’s line who kept her in check, she couldn’t properly punish him.

“Mister Park beat James, right?”

“Yes. He overwhelmed an A-rank peak hunter.”

“Even though he’s C-rank, if he’s that good, won’t he steal the highest record this time?”

The 43rd floor of the Tower of Chaos.

The owner of the highest record that hasn’t changed for over 10 years was the Saint of Los Angeles, Sophia.

“I should gladly offer my throne to him.”

“Do you think it will work?”

“Fifty-fifty.”

Min-ho’s strength doesn’t lie in his personal combat power.

It’s his familiars who possess intelligence and self-awareness.

And the minions he created directly.

“Since he entered right after reaching B-rank, his minions’ level probably hasn’t increased dramatically.”

“He can’t surpass the record set by the Saint of Los Angeles?”

“You sound like you’re hoping he’ll surpass it.”

“You said it was fine before.”

“Since Master said that, I’ve started to dislike it.”

Sophia recalled the sparring match they had fought over the Tower of Chaos ticket.

The combat power and battle sense of the two vassals were remarkable.

It was enough to send chills down her spine as she watched.

Specs that transcended their rank, mana application abilities, and understanding of swordsmanship and magic.

“Still, I think it’ll be difficult for him to see the end of the tower.”

The 30-minute rest period isn’t long.

It’s not even enough to recover depleted stamina and mana.

You also have to recover from injuries and debuffs sustained during the trials.

Your condition worsens as you climb higher.

Managing that efficiently while ascending wasn’t an easy task.

With the combat power and endurance of the undead soldiers acquired before his promotion, it would be difficult to see the end of the tower.

“Still, I hope he breaks through the 50th floor.”

“I’m curious to see what results he’ll achieve.”

Yoo Jeong-kim let out a hearty laugh.

At the same time.

[You have cleared the 43rd floor of the Tower of Chaos.]

[You are given 30 minutes of rest time.]

[You can stop the challenge or continue immediately.]

The Tower of Chaos’s highest record, maintained for over 10 years.

Was being broken by Min-ho’s hands.
