Level Up

Carlson grips the armrest of the chair tightly.

“What happened? ”

Larry finds out that this doesn't mean to report back, so he just waits for Carlson's next statement.

“So...... this is the same guy who came here before. Right?"

“Yes, I think so. The same dragon came out twice. ”

“He's more likely to be a member of the Summoners. ”

“I've never seen a Summoner before, but I'm sure that's true. ”

Carlson sharpened his teeth.

“And ruin one oyster so you can't even use it? ”

That's what Mayotte did. Mayotte died doing that, so she couldn't be held responsible.

To be held accountable, I had to ask Michael to bring the Mayotte here, but no matter how brave Carson was, he couldn't.

“What about the African players Michael brought? You must have taken quite a toll to fight the dragons. ”

Larry realizes that the report on the area was a bit obsolete, and adds an explanation.

“The dragon's goal was not to fight you, but to destroy the building. So there's very little damage here. ”

Larry takes a few moments to say that.

“The players I raised at the company took some damage. ”

“My kids are the only ones hurt? ”

“Many people are injured by approaching the dragon and getting caught in the electric shock of the dragon. ”

Some of them died, but they didn't even talk about it. We'll know all about it if we check the report later anyway.

Carlson closes his eyes as if tired and puts his hands on his forehead.

“It's definitely the vortex. ”

“I think so, too. But there's no evidence. ”

“Do you need proof? It's either the vortex or the emperor or the black market. Just... just wipe it out. ”

“First, we need to fix the damage over here. ”

Carlson nods powerlessly. That's also true. We'll have to clean it up first so we can get troops together and hit the vortex or not.

“How many times is this? ”

The last time the same person came in and started the fight, the opening of the Emperor Tower was postponed.

And then the vortex black market came in and took all the shares that the original Emperor Tower was supposed to have.

If we leave it alone, the vortex black market will grow into a black market within three fingers of the world.

No, there was already a sign of that. As long as the Vortex black market offers something similar to Ferrain Eggis, it's not impossible to climb to the black market of the world.

So we have to put our foot on it before it does. This is how Emperor Tower was made. Don't you think we need a similar level of compensation?

“One problem is the presence of a third party. ”

“Can such a force remain hidden until now without a sign at all? ”

“The vortex black market did. The future industry did. ”

Carlson had nothing to say. Because I really did.

The Vortex black market, the future industry, literally popped out of nowhere.

“It's not like there was no sign at all. ”

“Yes, but that's a sign. It's everywhere in the world. ”

Carlson finally nods.

On the other hand, it was a bit suspicious about the Black Sea. Lately, Black City has been spreading its influence around the world.

Their potential was acknowledged by Carlson. What if they're using that potential for the wrong reasons?

“There's a chance. Let's flip it over to the other side. ”

“Yes.”

Larry replied indifferently because he had the same idea.

“Get ready to hit the Vortex black market. ”

“Of course.”

I was most suspicious of you, so I needed retribution. It didn't matter what you did. The black market here in New York City is full of Emperor Towers.

‘It was time to clean up. ’

In the meantime, of course, the vortex black market will absorb all of its technology, connections, and artifacts.

The Vortex black market initially assumed control of its sale in the notes when Ferrain Eggis' approval for sale did not fail.

The impact it created was significant.

You have to sweep away those influences and connections to really organize them.

Larry and Carlson's eyes gleam sharply as they plan their next move. There was a dangerous atmosphere between the two.

* * *

Hyundai entered the invisible dungeon to the imperial palace and looked around. He scattered his magical powers like fog everywhere.

I've organized it once before, so there won't be many horseshoes left.

Most of the horses here were undead. So, if we eliminate it absurdly, we have a good chance of resurrecting again.

However, when Hyun-seok eliminated them before, even if he smashed them thoroughly and resurrected them, there won't be that many of them.

“I didn't know it then, but the magic of death is so light all around. ”

It appears that this death spell has turned everything here into an undead. Step by step.

Regardless, the stone is headed straight for the imperial palace without wasting any time.

Honestly, I've never been to the Imperial Palace before, so I don't know what's there.

Maybe there are a lot more undead or orders than the undead we've eliminated so far.

But we didn't have to deal with them now. Unless they come this way.

In these times, riding a dragon is the best way. But I couldn't right now.

A string of dragons roamed the Emperor Tower once, almost extinct.

Now it was first to take some time to recover.

The advantage of being summoned was that no matter how badly you were hurt, you would all recover.

I wasn't able to use the dragon for a while, but it didn't matter that I got the results I wanted.

It may take months for the Emperor Tower to open its doors again, no matter how hard it is under construction.

The reason why Hyun-seok had to use the dragon again was because of a lot of electronic equipment there.

The Dragon of Fortitude consists of lightning even of breathing. It destroys nearby electronic equipment in an instant, just by breathing.

Such dragons roamed everywhere and there was no electronic equipment left.

You destroyed all the electronic equipment just by firing a single blow at the brain stem from the center towards each oyster.

After thinking about the dragon's performance for a while, Hyungseok quickly started running.

We have to hurry. There was no time to waste in a place like this.

‘That's a shame. ’

On the one hand, it was fortunate, but on the other hand, it was unfortunate. I wanted to meet that unknown player and fight him once, but he didn't show up at the Emperor Tower.

"Can I see you this time? ’

Hyun-seok had such expectations and increased speed even more.

* * *

The way to the Imperial Palace was so peaceful. It used to be quite thoroughly crushed by the undead. Seeing that none of them have been resurrected.

Of course, it didn't matter if he was resurrected. Hyun-seok is different from before. All of them were confident enough to win at once.

The latest tower was the most impressive. The knowledge of the Horse Tower was all in the stone, and Barbell's Token gave a huge power to the stone. Moreover, the level is now beyond imagination.

The courage that once appeared in the trials of dragons, even if Megeloo appeared, became strong enough to win.

It was really quick to get to the Imperial Palace because nothing happened and I just kept speeding up.

Can we really get in there? ’

First of all, that was the problem. At that time, I was entitled to enter the Imperial Palace, and I had certain business.

But now that it was not clear, I wondered if it was possible to get inside.

“Hmm?"

Hyun-Seok stands far away where the Imperial Palace is visible and tilts his head.

I saw and felt things that I had not seen and felt before.

Maybe that's what it was then. But I couldn't see it then.

The magic of death sprinkled all over the place was eating away at the Imperial Palace. I was infiltrating.

And the pure magical force emanating from the imperial palace was continuing to push it away.

It was like a war between death and innocence.

Hyun-seok intuitively realized that the life span of the imperial palace was short.

‘Maybe...... I came to the right answer. ’

Perhaps later, the imperial palace itself would be lost. leaving behind a giant palace of death covered in the energy of death.

Hyun-seok hurriedly approached the Imperial Palace. Then I pushed the door hard.

Yuck!

Sound like it used to be. It was still not greasing.

Once you get inside, the door closes again. The popularity that filled the garden felt much clearer than before.

That's not a joke. ’

I felt a tactic that had never existed before. Reflexively, your gaze shifts toward you.

[Chaten]

I see a name. I'm surprised you have a name, not a problem.

The names of the other pillars were unified. Hyun-seok looked around the garden.

[Shadow No. 1], [Shadow No. 2], [Shadow No. 39], ….

Everyone had shadows and numbers in their names. That meant they didn't have a name. They've probably been called numbers for a long time.

‘Looks like he's leading them. ’

I didn't even see his name before. In other words, the gap was so large that nothing could be seen by the current situation.

Megelou didn't see anything the first time he saw it. I checked the level only after he got excited.

So the same goes for Shaten.

Chaten and the shadows did not move as they did then.

‘If this place is consumed by the magic of death, they will eventually become undead. ’

Now I don't know what kind of power I'm living with. However, it didn't seem like they were just living people.

Maybe they look like emperors. a person made of black shapes, a shadow clumped together to create a human form.

Regardless, the stone passes through the garden and enters the imperial palace.

You see a giant hall. And at the end of the hall was a magnificent throne, and I saw the emperor sitting on it.

The emperor gave a light glance when a stone came in.

An enormous pressure crushed the body of the stone. The pressure was clearly stronger than before.

Hyun-seok walked to the emperor, enduring the pressure.

The eyes of the emperor reminded me of this.

- You've changed so much since I've seen you. It was worth it.

Along with the emperor's words, the pressure on the body of the stone increased several times.

But Hyun-Seok just endured that tremendous pressure. It gets harder and harder, but it's not enough to kneel down. Body and spirit.

I looked up at the emperor with bold eyes.

“I don't have much time. ”

The emperor nods at the words of the stone.

- Yeah, that's too bad.

He said he was sorry to hear that, but it didn't feel like it at all. The tone of his voice and the feeling of his shadow face were the same.

- By the way, from the looks of it, you've grown a lot in that short period of time.

“That's how it happened. ”

Hyun-Seok said so, and looked carefully at the appearance of the emperor again.

The figure of the emperor, composed of shadows, was gradually dissipating. Maybe it was before. But I didn't realize it at the time.

I didn't see it.

The next target is the Emperor?

He didn't answer. I haven't exactly decided what to do yet.

- You are beginning to possess the king's gifts. Not everyone can have it just because they want it. It's a natural thing to get. You don't even know yourself.

Hyun-seok did not know the truth of the word, so he glanced at the emperor. However, after realizing that there is something more important than that, I raise my hand.

He showed me Babel's Token.

“Do you know what this is? ”

- I know, I know. It belonged to our ancestors. I never thought I'd see the relics left by the third master of the Empire as a pilgrimage.

The emperor's face seemed to be smiling. I also saw a peculiarity. It felt like I was lucky to put everything down.

- God, of course.

Hyun-seok stared at the emperor with a curious eye. What are you talking about all of a sudden?

- Then take good care of her.

The emperor exploded with words he didn't know what to say.

Paaaaaaaah!

The figure of the emperor explodes, casting a black mist on all sides.

The eyes of the stone watching it widened.
