Episode 134
[Tower of Chaos]
[You have cleared the 50th floor.]
[You have passed the tower’s final trial.]
[Amazing Achievement! Your feat will be recorded in the Akashic Records.]
I had expected this.
“Kuuuuu.”
Still, I was happy.
An exclamation mixed with ecstasy naturally escaped from the emotions boiling up from my lungs.
[An achievement will be granted based on your profession and performance in the tower.]
[Achievement – Bone Artist has been granted.]
[Bone Artist]
The performance of creations using bone as a medium increases by 20%.
This achievement is additionally calculated on top of the finally increased stats.
“Huuuuu.”
“Why are you so surprised?”
“It says 20% without any conditions.”
“The Undead Maker achievement you obtained before was also a 20% increase.”
Ingrid snorted at Sir Isra’s nonchalant attitude.
“This is why Iron Head is hopeless.”
“I know 20% is a significant figure. I only said that because Lord was so surprised.”
“It means all creations using bone as a medium get a bonus. Don’t you understand?”
Sir Isra’s eyes trembled finely.
“Does this mean the performance of armaments made from bone also increases!?”
You finally understand the true value of the achievement.
That’s right.
Undead aren’t the only targets for performance improvement.
Swords and spears, armor, etc.
Everything made from bone will have the [Bone Artist] effect applied.
Unlike Undead Maker, it doesn’t increase the stats of already crafted weapons or the dead, but.
“Simple repairs will do the trick.”
With just a bit of inconvenience, I can increase the performance of undead and bone equipment by 20%.
Really.
This is why I climb the Tower of Chaos!
But.
[You are the first in this dimension to see the end of the tower.]
[You have achieved an amazing feat.]
It wasn’t over yet.
[Achievement – Ruler of Chaos has been granted.]
[Ruler of Chaos]
All stats increase by 20%.
Remaining abilities will be released when hidden conditions are met.
The achievement of being the first to clear it!
My goodness.
It increases all stats by 20% without any conditions.
And if I find the hidden conditions, additional options will be granted.
Perhaps because it’s a first-clear privilege, the achievement was special too.
“Hmm. There are achievements where abilities manifest conditionally?”
“I don’t know either.”
Hunters who achieved feats were rare in themselves.
The acquisition conditions for most achievements weren’t even known.
Well, that’s natural.
How many people would share good things without any compensation?
“It doesn’t seem like an ordinary achievement.”
【The great master will solve the secret quickly too.】
【Greatness. Master.】
Is this what they mean by bears turning the wheel while people make money?
Phew.
Really.
My heart was full.
I gained a superior compatible achievement that combines with [Undead Maker] stats and even applies effects to weapons.
I even got an unheard-of achievement with hidden abilities.
Just the public options alone were 20% to all stats, so there was absolutely no shortage.
Receiving rewards consecutively made me feel full even though I hadn’t eaten anything.
[A Chaos Stone is given as a reward for clearing the Tower of Chaos.]
“Huh?”
Come to think of it.
Achievements are rewards given by the world’s records based on my deeds.
It’s not something I received for clearing the Tower of Chaos.
So.
This is the reward for climbing to the 50th floor of the tower.
[Chaos Stone]
Grade: Unique (???)
Category: ?
Restriction: Tower of Chaos 50th floor passer
Durability: 999/999
An object made from chaos realm minerals through a special processing method.
Can materialize items according to the image the user envisions.
*Growth-type item.
A stone containing green light.
This is the reward item for clearing the 50th floor of the tower.
“It’s a precious item. I’m worried it might get dirty, so it would be better to store it in the Death Forge.”
“Right. Shouldn’t we save it and use it when needed?”
Look at these people.
I could see through them so clearly they were completely transparent.
“I won’t be going to the front lines, so take it easy.”
“Kehehehe.”
“We’re all saying this out of concern for Master.”
I can clearly see you’re startled because it’s a weapon that changes in various ways, you know?
Chaos Stone, huh.
I obtained an unexpected reward.
But if it can be materialized according to the ‘image’ I think of.
I wouldn’t need to be restricted to weapons, would I?
I gripped the Chaos Stone tightly and envisioned the form of one object in my mind.
Squish, the hard surface became soft like jelly and dropped down with a plop.
The Chaos Stone wriggled and transformed.
“Isn’t that the hammer Lord uses?”
“Indeed. There’s no law saying it must only be materialized as a weapon.”
The green mineral changed into the exact same appearance as the hammer I frequently used.
[Chaos Stone – Craftsman’s Hammer]
Concentration Enhancement Lv 65
Precision Lv 62
Crafted Item Performance + 7%
I blinked my eyes.
“Is this for real.”
Hammer options adjusted to match the Unique grade.
It’s already amazing that the ability buffs helping the work process are in the 60s level range.
But there’s even an option that improves the performance of the final product.
It’s an ability worthy of the ‘Unique’ grade.
Let me try implementing other weapons too.
[Chaos Stone ― Longsword]
Slash Lv 63
Thrust Lv 61
Mana Amplification Lv 40
A Chaos Stone implemented with the same design as the Fallen Knight’s Bone Sword.
The stats are almost identical to the original.
I’m starting to get the hang of this.
Let me try one more experiment.
[Chaos Stone ― Staff]
Mana Concentration Lv 42
Mana Amplification Lv 45
*Attack magic power increased by 10%.
“So this is how it works.”
A crude-looking staff.
The performance was lacking for a Unique grade.
Maybe it’s at the level of high-tier Rare.
“Is it because Master is a blacksmith?”
“Ah. The performance follows according to how well one understands the structure!”
Correct, Sir Isra.
I should give the Gale Knights 5 points.
“It’s as much as I understand.”
Chaos Stone.
This is an interesting item.
An option that changes into various forms according to the image the user projects.
However, you must properly understand the structure of the item you want to implement.
Otherwise.
“You’d get something like this staff.”
One more interesting thing is that it’s a growth-type item.
The grade marking has ??? in parentheses.
It probably means it’s unknown how far it can grow.
“I won’t need to get additional armaments.”
“The same goes for metallurgy tools, doesn’t it?”
“It seems like I can implement tools other than hammers too.”
“Probably. But I don’t just use one at a time.”
The Corpse Doll Arm attached to my back spun 360 degrees.
The auxiliary hammers held in both hands spun round and round.
This was the secret to being able to handle durability consumption in consecutive battles.
“Ah. That’s right.”
“I’ll keep the auxiliary work tools, and use this one as the main.”
I like it.
A Unique grade item that simultaneously serves as both weapon and work tool!
Since it’s a growth-type item, the grade might increase as I use it.
I no longer have to worry about tools or weapons.
“Uhehehe! Hehe!”
A sound of joy rising through my throat!
How can I hold this back.
“What a hearty laugh indeed!”
“Does chivalry also include the virtue of flattery?”
【Embarrassment.】
【Since the great lord is happy, I am happy too!】
[This space will close in 10 minutes.]
[Please exit the tower if you have finished receiving your rewards.]
Tsk.
Way to kill the mood.
“Isn’t this a bit too harsh.”
10 minutes.
An ordinary Hunter would have finished their business and left immediately.
But I have too much to collect, you know?
“Guys. Let’s get to work.”
The remains of the Death Knight and Lich.
I can’t leave those precious things behind.
I need to analyze them thoroughly and apply them to Undead Creation.
“We should collect all the large-type corpses if possible too.”
It’s not just the Ogre.
There are also corpses of rare species that are hard to see even in Gates.
I should collect as much as possible.
“I’ll have to give up on the Skeleton Mages.”
“I understand. Even if I were a girl, I would have thought the same as Master.”
20 undead were consumed while climbing to the 50th floor.
Among them, 5 Skeleton Mages were destroyed.
I dismantled all 15 surviving Skeleton Mages.
It was unavoidable if I wanted to put even one more thing in the freed-up Death Space.
“Let’s start working.”
They want me to leave in 10 minutes?
5 minutes would be enough.
* * *
The Tower of Chaos, which had become Pisa’s new landmark.
“It seems like someone entered the tower.”
“I heard it’s a Hunter who’s been making quite a name for himself in Korea lately.”
“Korea? Isn’t that a small country in the Far East.”
Guild Officials always stayed around the Tower of Chaos.
Getting entry tickets was very difficult.
Nevertheless.
Since the Tower of Chaos was the only one of its kind in the entire world, Hunters with entry tickets had to come to Pisa.
The main job of the Dispatched Hunters was to check the performance of Hunters who entered the tower.
Less than 10 minutes after Min-ho entered the Tower of Chaos.
His personal information and recent activities were all delivered to the Guild Officials waiting nearby.
One of Italy’s top major guilds.
A Patzione official shook his head.
“This is wrong.”
“What are you basing that judgment on?”
“He’s a rookie who hasn’t even been B-rank for a month.”
“Hiya. What a waste of a ticket.”
The guild officials who had looked into Min-ho’s background didn’t hide their mocking expressions.
Tower of Chaos entry tickets were already difficult to obtain.
They couldn’t be happy about wasting such a precious item just because he’d been doing well lately.
“Want to bet on how many floors he’ll reach?”
“I’ll bet under 30 floors.”
“Hey. Then I’d have to bet under 20 floors.”
“Then bet on him not even passing 10 floors.”
“They say he’s a promising talent. He’ll at least pass 10 floors.”
France, England, Germany, and others.
Hunters from major guilds dispatched from various countries didn’t hide their negative reactions.
The Tower of Chaos wasn’t easy enough for a hunter who had just been promoted to B-rank to challenge.
Among the dispatched hunters, there were some who had actually entered the tower.
The betting pool gradually increased.
Not a single one of them bet money on conquering the 50th floor.
Creeeeak—
An Asian man entered through the old door.
Baek Seong-hyeon approached the gambling officials carrying a black golf bag.
“Can anyone join in?”
“As long as you have money, I don’t care if you’re a monkey or whoever.”
Baek Seong-hyeon smiled faintly.
Even hearing the racist remark didn’t make him feel bad.
Well.
There was no reason to get angry at people who were going to help him make money.
“Reaching the 50th floor. What are the odds?”
“Kek. 12.5 to 1.”
“Then I’ll bet one million dollars.”
For a moment, it became as quiet as if time had stopped.
“What? One million? On the 50th floor?”
“Yes. Is there a problem?”
“Kehat, kehahahat. What an interesting fellow.”
“Take his bet. It’s what he wants.”
“Aren’t you doing business?”
“Hey! Who said we weren’t? Come on, hand it over quickly.”
Ziiiiip—
When he opened the bag’s zipper, crisp dollar bills shyly showed their faces.
“Yahoo!”
“Thank you, Asian gentleman.”
The appearance of a sucker who would voluntarily raise the odds.
The guild officials were busy trying not to laugh.
“Reaching the 50th floor. I’ll bet on the same thing.”
A neutral voice cut through the boisterous atmosphere.
The guild officials’ gazes turned toward the new character.
‘Who is that?’
‘When did they come in? I didn’t even sense their presence.’
‘Who cares. Another sucker joined to raise the betting pool.’
Unlike Baek Seong-hyeon, a figure who hadn’t made their presence known joined the betting, but no one paid attention.
Breaking through the 50th floor?
Even the 43rd floor record set by the Los Angeles Saint hadn’t been broken for over 10 years.
It was impossible.
The guild officials who had observed the Tower of Chaos for a long time were certain.
“If he just became B-rank, will he last three hours?”
“If he uses all his rest time, he’ll be there for a while.”
“If he’s going to give up before reaching the 20th floor, I wish he’d come out quickly.”
The guild officials were chattering away.
How much time had passed?
Roooooar!
Strange phenomena began occurring in the Tower of Chaos.
Swirling green light.
Several hunters were startled.
“Th-this is?”
“Isn’t this a new record?”
“The last time this was witnessed was with the Los Angeles Saint!?”
The guild officials’ shocked voices filled the empty lot.
The horrified voices of guild officials filled the clearing.
