Chapter 490
490. The Resurrected (3)
After making the decision to climb the Tower of Trials to the final floor as quickly as possible, it wasn’t difficult to carry out the decision.
[Selection completed.]
[Autonomous selection of the ordeal theme was made.]
[According to the unique keyword ‘Chaos ■$’, the trial theme was confirmed as ‘The Demon King’s Vessel Embracing Chaos’.]
In fact, it is no exaggeration to say that this group has learned all the methods and tricks to more efficiently climb to the upper levels in the 37th floor trial given by the Tower of Trials.
[Enter the 38th floor of the Tower of Trials.]
[Difficulty – Hard]
[The theme of the trial is ‘The Demon King’s Vessel Embracing Chaos.’]
[I hope there will be a satisfactory result after the asceticism chosen by the challenger.]
Is that why?
[The 38th floor ordeal begins.]
[Remaining time – 20 days]
[Conditions for passing the trial – Win the final battle to claim the Chaos Demon King’s vessel]
[Trial failure condition – death of challenger or end of remaining time]
[Ordeal Breakthrough Reward – Staff for Those Embracing Chaos (SS-)]
[Trial Failure Penalty – Death] In fact, it didn’t take long to clear the 38th floor trial given by the Tower of Trials.
‘Preliminaries?’
Should I say I’m lucky?
[Hoo. For those who want to take over the vessel of the demon king who embraces chaos, their level is quite high. Unlike the last riders, I don’t think these riders will die like idiots. ]
To be honest, since the trial on the 37th floor of the Tower of Trials was also a test to select apostles, I thought the original pattern would continue like a little bone broth(?)…
[What happened? Everyone knows what it is, right? Introductions or greetings. There won’t be any need for that. After all, not many of you will be able to hold your breath until a few minutes later. There is one rule. It’s winner-takes-all. ]
It wasn’t.
[Giggle-! Now, you get the idea, right? From now on, kill each other. The carnage doesn’t stop until only one of you is left on the field. There is only one rule. ]
When an ancient demon who looked like a beast with a goat’s head said that, a slaughter war suddenly began.
Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
“Hahahahaha! Winner takes all? A slaughter battle until only one person remains in the arena? Haaa…!! I’m excited!! the best!! “It’s annihilation───!!”
“Kehi kehi kehihi! It’s good, but it’s good!? Ah, this is a very hot story!! You can take over the vessel of the demon king who embraces chaos just by killing these insignificant little things!! “It’s the rest of the business!!”
“Puhaha! Hehehe, is it really~? Is it real, is it real, is it real!? Kihihi!! It’s awesome…!! This one and that one are all top quality ingredients!! Fantastic! “The best dinner is about to begin!!”
Without wasting time or even a short explanation, a situation occurred where hundreds of demons and demons began to fight each other, biting each other, in a stadium like a coliseum.
‘It’s off to a great start, isn’t it?’
I stood in the middle of the stadium and raised the corners of my mouth in satisfaction.
It’s like being thrown into a slaughter battle without even a basic explanation…
In fact, to tell you the truth, the stage where you can kill everyone without having to think deeply about this or that is one of my favorite fight structures.
“uh? Is there a human in the middle of the stadium over there? Could it be that that guy also came to take over the vessel of the demon king who embraces chaos? Kihaha! “Is it true!!”
“Haaa…! human? Human? It’s real! Haaaa…!! Does it keep the excitement from fading? Do you guys know that? “It’s so fun to kill a scared person by very slowly decapitating him!!”
“Hehehe! Human? Course meal composition!! So so so so!! It’s perfect! I need to rip out that guy’s fresh intestines and eat them right now! Move!!”
Moreover, my joy grew even greater when I saw the enemies attacking me as if they were coming to kill ordinary people without any suspicion, not even knowing what kind of power this side had.
Ujik, eujik, eujik-!
Just like that, I lightly kicked the ground and moved at supersonic speed, tearing off the heads of the three demons and throwing them away.
Paaaang-!
The sonic boom rang out one step later, and at the same time, the demons who were engaged in a slaughter war turned their heads and looked at where this person was standing.
“uh?”
“What? How did this happen? Why are they dead? Why is this human still alive and well? Question question question! I don’t know! “Tell me the answer!”
“Kick kick kick…!! Don’t be fooled by things like those with double heads! That guy is not human! Can’t you see it? The power of the devil emanating from that guy’s body!! That’s the fallen demon lord who stole the shell of a human! “Kikikik!”
A fallen demon lord?
‘It’s not.’
It was absurd.
[Skill ‘King of Ten Thousand Demons’ is strongly activated.]
It’s quite pathetic to see them not being able to guess even one thing correctly.
The only thing they did was activate the old favorite skill ‘King of Ten Thousand Demons’.
The things they were talking about, like he was a fallen demon lord or something, were completely different from the truth.
However, despite this, the gaze pouring in from all directions changed very quickly.
From a useless scarecrow who doesn’t know why he’s here, to a competitor who must be dealt with first.
Suddenly, the slaughter in the stadium stopped temporarily, and all the demons exchanged glances with each other and, as if in unison, rushed towards where I was standing.
fault-!
“Kihaha! Kill, kill, kill!! Are you hoping to regain glory by taking over the vessel of the fallen demon lord who embraces chaos?! No way! All you have to do is kill it with a quick attack!!”
“Hehehe! Wow, I was lucky enough to be chosen by the demon god, wow wow monkey!! Kill me! My my me! eat! From head to toe! Time to defend the bar! “I won’t give it to you!”
“The fallen demon lord. Are you lucky? He’s also slow to react. It’s easy to kill. That guy must have a lot, right? It would be fun to peel and eat it. I’m going to have some fun hairing a corpse! Ah ha!”
Crazy laughter erupts from all directions, and attacks using not only black magic but also all kinds of magical energy are poured out.
Kufuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
‘It’s slow.’
I felt like I was going to yawn.
Well, it seemed like some of them saw me standing still and thought that I couldn’t even react to the joint attack…
To be honest, we are just yawning and waiting to see what they will do with them.
‘Let’s clean it up.’
I briefly considered playing with them, hoping they would help me figure out my unique keywords, but the conclusion didn’t change.
‘It’s hard to figure out unique keywords with people like them anyway. The real thing begins not now, but after the slaughter is over.’
Those guys weren’t even worth playing with.
[Transcendence Myth
[From now on, challenger Han Seong-yoon’s movements will be subject to the divine effect of
[※When activating the divine
[▶ This effect has a cooldown of one week immediately after activation.]
[From now on, the divine effect of
[※It becomes possible to forcibly activate a specific ability no matter what the situation or condition is.]
[※However, if the activation of a specific ability is close to impossible, the closer the situation and conditions are, the greater the recoil from use of the effect.]
[▶ Immediately after this effect is activated, you will pay the price for going against the existing providence in some way.]
Touwoong-.
The moment he frowns and lightly raises his finger as if he is pathetic, then snaps the tip of his finger and sends an overwhelming physical force forward.
──────!
In an instant, the enormous physical force emitted from the fingertips heated the air so hot that it became incandescent and a huge explosion occurred.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Pure physical force spread out in all directions as if a nuclear explosion had occurred, and a mushroom cloud rose across the sky, signaling the end of the slaughter.
***
Stadium?
There wasn’t even a single original building left.
Well, the stadium itself seemed to have been made of solid material, as they were told to engage in a slaughter battle between demons without any basic explanation, but it was useless.
‘It was an ordinary blow that didn’t specifically strengthen the body with magic, but it was meaningless.’
In fact, what they did was just gather a little bit of strength and snap their fingertips at the speed of light.
Jump and jump -.
The goat-headed ancient demon from earlier was looking at me with empty eyes outside the stadium, thanks to the help I saved by controlling the aftereffects of my power.
widely-.
Standing in front of him, I spoke with my lips in a harsh tone.
“You told me earlier to fight until there was only one person left in the stadium, right?”
[….]
“Well, the stadium itself was destroyed, but I think the conditions they proposed were satisfied, is that correct?”
[ uh? yes? Ah… that’s right. Huh. Not like that. Ha ha ha ha ha. But I don’t know why someone like you came here. Ho, can you tell me what the reason is─ ] “I don’t like it.”
[….]
“Why don’t we just shut up and move on to the next step?”
[ …Ha ha ha ha ha! yes! Yes! That’s how it should be! I’m a bit clueless, so I’m late in getting things done. Now here is the vessel of the devil who embraces chaos. I’ll give it to you. Hehehehe. ]
Just-!
The moment when the goat-headed demon puts his index and middle fingers together and snaps his fingers loudly.
Goooo!
In the empty air, something that looked like a throne mixed with black and purple appeared.
Well, it had to be a little different from black magic, but the principles and results of the technology themselves could be imitated, so it wasn’t interesting.
Rather, I began to worry about someone’s consciousness that could be felt on the throne, a mixture of black and purple that was continuously flowing out magical energy.
“Do you want to play hide and seek?”
[….]
“What are you doing? at there. I can see everything hiding inside that ugly chair. “Just stop being annoying and come out.”
[….]
“no? Well then. If you want to play hide and seek, I’ll join you. Instead, you die the moment you catch me. know?”
[….]
“Look forward.”
As I walked forward, pointing to someone hiding inside the jet black and purple throne, something strange happened.
Whi-profit-!
Suddenly, something like a black shadow escaped from the throne that was floating in the empty air.
‘Running away.’
Where are you going to run away from such a slow subject?
Suddenly-.
At that moment, I lightly leaped into the air and grabbed something that looked like a black shadow.
“—Gotcha.”
[ …Hhhhh!!! ]
In the blink of an eye, a scream burst out from the black shadow and a voice full of fear rang out.
[ Hehehe! Me crazy! Oh don’t come! go away! Get out! Oh my gosh! Ahhhhh! ]
The taste was good in its own way.
‘I feel like I caught a big fish.’
Well, rather than catching a big fish, it would be more correct to say that I caught a parasite that was waiting for an opportunity.
Shirrick-!
The guess was not wrong.
[Hehehehe! There you go! Got it! You monster!! I will gratefully receive that body!! ]
Suddenly, the black shadow was caught in the grip and struggling, and suddenly it stretched out tentacles made of shadow and attempted to take control of the body.
[ Puhahaha!! Congratulations, winner!! I will give you the vessel of the devil who embraces chaos, so give me that monstrous body of yours! It’s a winning prize! Hahaha! ]
Perhaps the vessel of the devil that embraces chaos itself was a kind of parasite rather than a winning prize…
Pudduk-.
“It’s not like poetry.”
[Kaaaaaaaaagh—!? ]
“I have to find the talent and qualifications to become a transcendent from people like you…”
[Kaaaaaaaaaa! Ah Altormon!! Bad guy!! Katzlian!! Anybody, please help me!! Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk! Wow!! ]
“It’s ridiculous.”
However, unlike what this person just said, the unique keyword ‘Chaos ■$’ was chosen as a sensuous choice.
I had to gradually realize what this meant.
[….]
[Error correction.]
[The official name of the unique keyword ‘Chaos ■$’ is revealed as ‘Chaos’ Natural Enemy.’]
‘Was it this?’
Even if there are any schemes and tricks waiting in chaos, I think it is the natural enemy of chaos because it can overcome all of them.
It could have been a wrong answer, but it wasn’t.
The Tower of Trials also revealed that the unique keyword ‘Chaos Natural Enemy’ was correct, and I also had a strong intuition in my soul that this was correct.
It means that it is a clear correct answer.
However, apart from that, there was also something new that I learned.
‘I feel like this is something I learned acquired rather than being born with it…’
Somehow, unlike the unique keyword ‘natural talent’, the unique keyword ‘natural enemy of chaos’ seemed closer to acquired rather than innate.
‘In other words, since the possibility of becoming a transcendent is selected, it does not only refer to innate talents and qualifications.’
Doesn’t that mean that the unique keywords given by the Tower of Trials are the result of evaluating not only innate factors but also acquired factors?
‘Then, some of the unique keywords can be matched purely by guessing.’
To be honest, it would have been easy to guess if it was the result of considering both innate and acquired factors.
If you look back at what this team has done while climbing the Tower of Trials, you can guess what the unique keywords are.
It was an unintended benefit.
“It’s over.”
I have seen all the benefits.
Crunch-.
Confirming that there was no need to waste any more time, I crushed something like a black shadow tightly held in my right hand and collected the energy accumulated within it.
[Kekkeekkeek…!! ]
Well, he had to make a strange sound as if he was strangling me, but that only lasted for a moment.
Parker Gak-.
‘He’s dead.’
I lost my life when I pulled out all the demonic energy from the black shadow, which seemed to be the vessel of the demon king who embraces chaos.
[ Ha ha ha ha ha. Congratulations Chu. that-. Can I say that you are the new new master? I… you’re going to save me, right? Hehehehe…. ]
The goat-headed demon who was standing next to him came towards us, rubbing his palms, but he wasn’t particularly interested anymore, so he shook his head and smiled.
“no. That’s it for you. “There’s no need to keep you alive… so just die.”
[ yes? Oh no! Now wait a minute! I am very useful! Let me buy it and save it…. ]
Sizzling───!
“no.”
In response, I crushed the goat-headed demon to death like a piece of paper and then turned my head.
[Congratulations, you have surpassed the 38th floor of the Tower of Trials.]
[As a reward for breakthrough, the ‘Stand for Those Embracing Chaos (SS-)’ will be sent to your inventory.]
[You have earned ‘3800000 points’ as a breakthrough reward.]
[You have obtained ‘420000 SP’ as a breakthrough reward.]
[As an additional breakthrough reward, ‘Exploiter’s Gauntlet (A-)’ will be sent to your inventory.]
[Go to the waiting room.]
It was neat.
[….]
[Activates exclusive authority #D-0007 [Increased Compensation].]
[The level of compensation is increased by exclusive authority #D-0007 [Increased Compensation].]
[The reward for breaking through the 38th floor, ‘Staff for those who embrace chaos (SS-)’, is strengthened to ‘Necklace of the predator who swallowed chaos (SSS-)’.]
[The 38th floor additional breakthrough reward ‘Exploiter’s Gauntlet (A+)’ is strengthened to ‘Exploiter’s Blood Gauntlet (S+)’.]
Next moment.
hook-.
[Entered the waiting room on the 38th floor.]
After seeing that I had cleared the 38th floor of the Tower of Trials, I returned to the waiting room.
‘Has about 30 minutes passed?’
To be honest, they cleared the ordeal so quickly that it didn’t even feel like they came back to rest.
‘It looks like he just went on an outing and came back.’
Perhaps because of that, I opened my inventory and checked the newly acquired items, feeling strangely regretful.
‘They’re not exactly items of the level I would use.’
It was perfect for adding abilities and sacred power using the skill ‘Steel Eating’ or the Seal of Offering, so I did just that.
The same goes for points and SP.
Now, I’ve been buying ordinary items from stores with great care, but since there’s no need to actually use them, I’ve been using them carelessly.
The point side was good because it could be used to increase special abilities such as conceptual abilities, but the SP side did not have many uses, so it was used appropriately.
‘hmm.’
Since I wasn’t particularly injured or used up any one-time items, I couldn’t feel anything special.
‘Is maintenance sufficient at this point?’
I had no intention of wasting time.
There is nothing else to do right away except moving forward.
Therefore, as soon as I used up all the rewards for clearing the trial, I took on the next floor of the trial without hesitation.
Hold-.
[….]
[Selection completed.]
[Autonomous selection of the ordeal theme was made.]
[The ordeal theme has been confirmed as ‘World Destroyer’ according to the unique keyword ‘Wrath of Destruction■’.]
and.
[You will enter the 39th floor of the Tower of Trials.]
[Difficulty – Hard]
[The theme of the trial is ‘World Destroyer.’]
[I hope there will be a satisfactory result after the asceticism chosen by the challenger.]
Accordingly, the moment when system messages appear very quickly in the field of view.
[The 39th floor ordeal begins.]
[Remaining time – 100 days]
[Conditions for passing the ordeal – As a descendant of the world destroyer, you must exterminate every living thing in a world stained with evil]
[Trial failure condition – death of challenger or end of remaining time]
[Ordeal Breakthrough Reward – Destroyer’s Carnage Seal (SS+)]
[Trial failure penalty – death]
When I saw that, I felt satisfied with a light smile on my face.
‘Exterminate without leaving any living creatures behind?’
Because it wasn’t particularly difficult.
Tuk-.
Isn’t this all it takes to activate the Transcendent Myth
──────!
Without even having time to explore the world, the entire planet collapsed in front of pure physical force.
[….]
[Error correction.]
[The official name of the unique keyword ‘Wrath of Destruction■’ will be revealed as ‘Incarnation of Destruction.’]
‘nice.’
For some reason, it was not an easy task, but very good rewards followed.
[Congratulations, you have surpassed the 39th floor of the Tower of Trials.]
[As a reward for breakthrough, ‘Destroyer’s Slaughter Seal (SS+)’ will be sent to your inventory.]
[You have earned ‘4000000 points’ as a breakthrough reward.]
[You have obtained ‘450000 SP’ as a breakthrough reward.]
[As an additional breakthrough reward, ‘The Killer’s Murder Record (B-)’ will be sent to your inventory.]
[Go to the waiting room.]
Well, maybe because I didn’t go through that much trouble, the additional breakthrough reward shouldn’t have been anything special, but it didn’t matter.
‘Let’s continue.’
Since I no longer had to risk my life climbing the Tower of Trials, I continued to climb the stairs without any tension, expressionless, and without rest.
‘At best, rest is a luxury when clearing an ordeal of this level.’
There is still a long way to go.
***
Now that I’ve reached the 40th floor of the Tower of Trials, I no longer feel any emotional emotion.
[You will enter the 40th floor of the Tower of Trials.]
[Difficulty – Hard]
[The theme of the ordeal is ‘The Madness of the Underworld.’]
[I hope there will be a satisfactory result after the asceticism chosen by the challenger.]
obviously.
[The 40th floor trial begins.]
[Remaining time – 300 days]
[Conditions for overcoming the ordeal – Kill or persuade the ‘Black Dao Five Zones’ of Zhejiang Province to end the regional war between the Black Dao Clan factions and bring peace and rest without conflict]
[Trial failure condition – death of challenger or end of remaining time]
[Reward for passing the ordeal – Necklace of a crazy dog that does not discriminate between enemies and enemies (SS+)]
[Trial Failure Penalty – Death] ‘I think this is a reenactment of what happened in the past martial arts dimension, not the current martial arts dimension….’
All I can feel is that the clearing conditions and difficulty of the trials set by the Tower of Trials have become much worse than before.
‘…Why on earth are the martial people so anxious that they can’t eat me when they see me?’
I sighed deeply.
Even in the distant past, did all the martial arts people have hair problems?
Even though he didn’t do anything in particular, from the beginning until now, the martial arts people have been flocking to him, making fights, and spewing out threats for his life.
In particular, there were quite a few people who showed unreasonable bravery even though they had shown mercy to this group several times to enable them to survive unscathed.
It almost feels to me like he’s begging them to kill him.
So I did that.
━This bastard! How dare you not even pay attention when Lee Wang-sam, the vice commander of Heukrangdae, calls you? You shameless bastard! Oh, I will cut off your head with my own hands…
Crump-!
━Innoom-! You’re out of your mind! Did you say Han Seong-yoon? It seems like even this beast couldn’t do it! How dare you disobey your superior’s orders! I will correct the precepts of the Black Heavenly Gate by killing you today…
Ugh!
━Heh. Are you a spy sent from another sect? iced coffee. i get it. Your skills are so poor that I want to die. I, Dark Swordsman Jang Wi-Cheon, will teach you the difference in power…
Kkwajiik-!
━Ugh! help me!! Save me!! You bastard! Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaa! go away! Go away!!
[….]
[Error correction.]
[The unique keyword ‘Beetle■ Madness?’ will be officially named ‘Twisted Madman.’]
‘… To be honest, aren’t the martial arts people who fight for no reason, not me, the real twisted madmen?’
A twisted madman?
It was a conspiracy made up of instigation and fabrication.
No matter how much I thought about it, it wasn’t their fault.
It’s just that they started an argument as if they didn’t like me, so I tore them all to death with my bare hands and went looking for the black ozone that was set as a condition for clearing the ordeal, but I was even given an unpleasant star.
It’s like a situation where the police who catch gangsters for the sake of a peaceful society are being labeled as bad guys.
I don’t know why, but at some point, they all decided to join together to kill me, rather than a regional war going on with the huge business between the Black Swordsmen as a prize.
They say it’s Gwangma.
━Hey! It’s a guy! He came!! Gwangma Gwangma!! Gwangma Han Seong-yoon is here, you bastards!! Run away, run away, run away!! Never get caught!!
━You son of a bitch!! Why on earth are you doing this!! No matter how crazy you act, the fight for supremacy among the Black Island Ozones will not stop!! Argh!
━Ha hahaha…. Is this really true? Seongyoon Han. Did that madman kill all the black ozone? Fuck!! I can’t deal with that!! I’m quitting blackface from today!! I’m going to go farming!!
Should I say that it feels as if this side has become a public enemy that threatens everyone?
In order to end the local war between the Black Island factions and bring peace and rest, the martial arts people, who were nothing but a cancer in society, were educated(?), but all kinds of slander continued.
Because of that, in the end, we had no choice but to give a straight ticket to the Jordan River to the Murim people who, even though they did not want to, were blocking this side from bringing peace to the region.
Is it inevitable that an apostle of justice will always be slandered by the forces of evil?
‘It’s unfair to people.’
As expected, I had no choice but to realize that the apostle of justice is always lonely.
Just like the infamous martial arts dimension, it appears that the martial arts people had a lot of mental problems in the past.
Even though he tore down and killed all of the so-called Black Ozone, he was not judged to have cleared the ordeal.
I think this is probably because most of the nearby martial arts people have major mental problems and cannot be considered to have truly found peace and rest…
It was necessary to take appropriate action.
‘It’s clear that all the martial arts people have a lot of problems with their heads.’
Fortunately, though, I am the one who can be said to be a specialist in curing the mental illness of martial people.
Crunch, crunch, crunch -!
━Kwaaaaaaaaaaa!!
In the face of physical therapy accompanied by overwhelming power, martial people have no choice but to naturally become good.
‘If peace and rest can’t come because of the martial arts people, then all we have to do is make it so that the martial arts people themselves can no longer recover, right?’
As they poured in the physical therapy know-how they had accumulated while climbing the Tower of Trials, the Murim people stopped fighting and peace and rest came.
‘That’s a good answer.’
It is only natural that many martial artists had their arms or legs crushed or cut off and were unable to recover.
[Congratulations, you have surpassed the 40th floor of the Tower of Trials.]
[As a reward for breakthrough, the ‘Crazy Dog Collar (SS+)’ will be sent to your inventory.]
[You have earned ‘4500000 points’ as a breakthrough reward.]
[You have obtained ‘500000 SP’ as a breakthrough reward.]
[As an additional breakthrough reward, ‘Mask of Madness and Fear (A+)’ will be sent to your inventory.]
[From now on, when challengers die at the Tower of Trials, they will have the opportunity to be resurrected as an ‘Administrator’ by signing a special contract.]
[Go to the waiting room.]
‘Maybe I have talent as a psychotherapist?’
The peace and rest that came faster than I expected made me feel like that.
“Aaaaa!! Legs! My legs! “Kaaaaaa!!”
“Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa My my arm! Paliiiiii! Aaaaaaaaa!!”
“Weeeeeeeee!! My Dan Tian is crushed… I don’t want to die… I want to live….”
…Not anything.
