Demon King

If you qualify for Jinma's Tower 2nd Floor, you'll get it when you reach Level 80. I was sure that if I went straight in, I would not be able to be seen like before, so I was delaying entering Jinman's Tower until now.

And now I have met the requirements for all quests except Jinma's Tower, and also leveled up to a level that I can satisfy.

I wanted to achieve level 90 if possible, but now that I'm at level 89, I don't really know how much experience I need to gain to advance to the next level.

We can't delay this any longer. And for my goal of conquering the dungeon as soon as possible.

To do so, I crossed the dark passageway first to the fourth floor. From through the gate on the third floor, this dungeon followed a Obsidian hallway and wall, which was not so different on the fourth floor.

Instead, the fourth floor was as high as any palace, and the ceiling was wide and the hallway was wide. Moreover, there was no negligible mechanism to ignore the vibrating energy of life in the passageways beyond the entrance. Just to cut it off, there were top-grade species of minimal hellhound levels.

In fact, I was thinking about the possibility that the top monsters were waiting for us on the fourth floor, so I was out of my mind.

“Then I'll be back. ”

“Then I'll keep this around until you get back. ”

Lee Chan Yuk said with a relaxed smile. He's nervous, too, but his evolution into the Beast commander has inspired some confidence.

Moreover, the three Hellhounds, according to him, will also be a strong shield, most likely to protect him at the same time.

“I'm not using it as a shield! We'll hunt together! ”

“Oww!”

“Yeah, well, don't die on me anyway. ”

You open the door to Jinma's Tower.

Beyond the Trickster's influence…… No, the inside of the Jinma Tower, which has been revealed since the Trickster who was deceiving me died, was quite dark, but at least the brightness was maintained enough to recognize the face of the caretaker A.

“You're late.”

As soon as she confronted me, this was what she said: I thought I would be able to see him as it was the first challenge on the second floor, but when I finally confronted him, I felt a different burden than when I confronted Vina El.

First of all, he has a look that makes him feel burdened by the person he is facing. He is handsome, but muscular, and not too big to be pushed by me with the flesh of a Bugbear.

Moreover, when I was in the darkness created by the previous Trickster, it was very difficult to capture Ei's prowess, but I was spewing an overwhelming energy, whether I was conscious or not.

If rain is the energy that comforts people and El is the energy that excites them, then the energy that Ei possesses has stunned people. I even felt like I was facing something bigger than a man. People never feel powerless in front of someone they can't resist.

Yes, it's foolish of me to discuss their strength, but perhaps the strongest of the three is' A '.

Is this what he's doing on purpose? Or is it because my sensing abilities have increased so that I can see through some of his skills?

“Solving all the other things. ”

I tried desperately to get used to his strength. But "A" reacted to me.

“…… Have you met her? ”

I didn't know if it was raining, but I didn't think she would respond to El, and I hesitated for a moment. However, I didn't have to hide it from him, so I quietly reacted.

“Yes. He called himself El. ”

“El……. ”

He mutters like that and laughs.

You laughed?

Immediately, I remembered El's face in my head. As expected, El's beauty is amazing enough to take down even that Ai.

I don't know what Aegean was thinking about El, but it was surprising just by mentioning him, his expression changed. Maybe Ei being here has something to do with El. I came up with that idea.

However, whether I realized that I was smiling on my own or not, he quickly returned to his expressionless face. Not only that, he said with one gesture as far away as it was hard to recognize.

“Jinma's Tower 2nd Floor. Enemies do not die. ”

Despite the distance, I could hear his voice as if it were straight in my ears.

Rather, I haven't told you that I'm going to the second floor yet. Besides, this looks like the same place you challenged me to on the first floor. Are you saying that the first floor and the second floor are just words?

“Conquest takes place when they return to nothing. ”

But there was no time for me to unravel the question. Before the end of Ey's words, four walls springed forward and backward, just as they did when they challenged Jinma's tower on the first floor.

I felt a slight malice in his actions. Maybe I was just pissed at the fact that I realized how Ei felt. Wrath for no reason that I should have kept it to myself!

I didn't have time to complain about Ei by myself anymore. Trickster was no longer in any of Jinma's towers, but there began to be a misty black mist around me, trapped in a giant square arena.

I've noticed by now that the walls that have risen in all directions are much further apart from each other than when we challenged the first floor. I'd say the arena has grown in size.

And they show up right away.

[Grunting]

[I feel the warmth.]

[Energy of the Living One.]

Black fog, monsters that reveal themselves one by one. Only rotting flesh and bones are left that cannot be found in blood.

I immediately realized what Ei meant.

The resurrected. Undead. There are so many words I can call them, but I'm sure Undead was my worst enemy.

[Life is so hateful!]

I have to fight what I can't eat from now on!

'I can't use my inventory. ’

Most of what I can do now goes away.

Most of my skills consume magical and physical strength. The same is true of the special high skill ubiquitous, which was synthesized just moments ago.

And not only can I use these highly consuming skills freely, but I can also recover my health and magical strength at any time with predatory skills.

But what if I can't utilize prey in combat? For example, what if I can't eat what I'm fighting for?

[grunting]

[Give me your blood!]

All you can eat with a predatory skill is‘ organisms’. Naturally, the undead are not creatures. Skeletons, zombies and ghosts floating across the arena cannot be my prey.

‘Then what I need to do now. ’

This is simple. Even an army that doesn't die will eventually be destroyed. If I can keep track of all their numbers and distribute my stamina and magic accordingly and destroy them all, I will be the final winner.

First, I distance myself from them. Monsters howl behind you, swinging their shadows of blood, but unfortunately you can't defeat them with that kind of attack.

If you keep attacking, of course you can eliminate it, but swinging the sword several times will consume your health weakly, and it may be worse than using a skill.

In other words, I need to thoroughly analyze all of my movements and skills consumed, and find the best behavior patterns.

‘And kill them all before they lose their stamina and their magic. ’

I have the least stamina consuming skill, Speed Attack.

It was consuming, of course, compared to a normal attack, but it was better than a normal attack in that three of them were captured, regardless of their trajectory.

As soon as I finished thinking, I went straight back and looked at the number of monsters. The number of monsters reaching the tip of the egg cloth bore me.

There were roughly three kinds of them: undead skeletons, movies, etc. that were the most familiar zombies, and ghost ghouls that preyed on such zombies. Fortunately, it doesn't reach the intermediate level, except for the ghouls.

Skeletons and zombie attacks did not do much damage after two shields: cloak and blood baptism. Ghouls were much faster and stronger than the two before them, but they were also weaker than the monsters I had fought.

But how many monsters can I fight without prey? I had never counted so far, and I didn't know that. No, the data so far probably won't work for me

And as we have done so far, it will not be possible to destroy 1,000 undead.

‘Dammit, I thought I was prepared, but then it came. ’

When you have to die to not die.

Their strength, their speed, the amount of damage they can do to me, and the amount of energy I have to spend dealing with them. Distance and direction to move.

We have to calculate them all. I had to do what was deemed impossible on the first floor of Jinma's tower, just as I did at that moment when I made it possible.

I can see three grills in front of me.

I rush at them, muttering in a fucking small way.

You died seven times before you knew all the patterns of ghouls, skeletons, and zombie attacks and their amount of damage. It was fortunate that the equipment, along with its health and magical strength, would also be restored whenever the body recovered.

After that, I have a thorough understanding of the amount and range of damage my skills can do to them. How to move to reduce stamina consumption when using surprise and fairy tales, power attack, speed attack consumption, when used together, or in a row.

It is not a numerical representation of decreased health and magical strength, all of which was done only by my own senses. Detection makes precise measurements as well as impossible. It's not because someone quantifies it and shows it to me.

However, as I continued to detect it, subtle differences gradually started to come to my attention. Where should the enemy be hit to consume more stamina, and how should I move to make my body less tired? How skills are most efficient to use and how they are coordinated.

I've never cared about anything until now. To be precise, you will have to say you have not had the time to care so far.

But it meant a lot. To minimize consumption, everything I did had to change efficiently, and it was like denying myself and building a new self.

Advanced sensing was truly remarkable. I was just enjoying the need for emotional scrolling, but the true usefulness of sensing didn't end there.

Detects external changes caused by enemy behavior, and even internal changes.

Detects how much my actions affect me or other areas of my body and how they affect me externally

Even the slightest difference in hand gestures made a huge difference to the indicators. I was shocked that I hadn't noticed until now.

The surprise and fairy tales were the only ones showing effective moves, but even then, they were still far away. I was ashamed of myself for being such a superior skill.

What to do if your skill level is high. I have no knowledge of my skills or myself at all.

Stronger with less power. Be the most efficient.

We should not be satisfied with just detecting enemy threats. I had to be fully aware of myself and be able to follow the best path I already knew.

Determines the enemy's movement, and then the enemy's Mana Flow. It should be able to understand the enemy's intentions naturally.

I'm glad you've figured it out. I grip it while controlling the force that enters the leg to avoid the curling nails on the left.

[Greater Detection is Lv5.]

And from the moment I realized how to improve myself, it started to take me longer and longer to die.

[Advanced Martial Arts is Lv4.]

On my twenty-seventh death, I was able to destroy 950 undead.

[Advanced Martial Arts is Lv5.]

[Lesser Speed Attack is Lv9.]

On my thirty-fifth death, I left only ten undead in front of my eyes.

[Greater Detection is Lv6.]

[Lesser Shadow Step is Lv8.]

And the 49th time he was revived.

I have succeeded in destroying all the undead in the arena.

“... I won. ”

I muttered dumbfoundingly and looked around. Though it is full of black fog, the superior detection has assured me that there is no one in this room but the Crumbling Undead.

I squeezed out all my stamina and magical strength. It was an unbelievably perfect move. I was confident that I had gained more power than my skill level had increased.

No, I've been seduced by numbers. Even at the same level, depending on my movements and Mana's operation, the power you can generate will be split into poles and poles!

Anyway, I realized it. And you won. You conquered the second floor of Jinma's Tower!

After thinking that, something grabbed my ankle. I realized without even looking at it. It was a Ghoul's wrist.

The wrist of a Ghoul that I'd already shattered and shattered.

[Joyful, joyful and painful! I want to share this joy with you!]

The undead rise again from all sides, as if they were all waiting to be smashed. The skeleton, which had been divided into countless pieces, appeared to be assembled perfectly in the black mist, and the zombies were gelling, gathering flesh and grinding.

The Ghouls laugh at me, reclaiming their heads.

[Idiot.]

[You're a living man after all! Live!]

Why didn't I pay more attention to what Ei said?

Ei never said "undead" or "revived corps." He only said:

It's the Army that doesn't die.

I had to pay more attention to what he said. By the way, they were a legion that really didn't die. I thought it would be a breakthrough, but it wasn't at all.

I made a mistake.

The answer I had to ask was something else.
