Turns Out To Be a Genius Duelist

Phoebibic. Phoebibic.

In the [Convenience] section, the watch purchased for 7,000 AP emits a dull notification tone.

Once again, another week has passed since we set the timer for 168 hours.

‘It's happening again. ’

Within a few days, Yoon-suk checked the date.

May 4, Korea.

It had been seven weeks since I had been tested on the 10th floor.

In the meantime, Yoon-suk met with Ashton once a week and only sold out in the waiting room, except for listening to the current situation on Earth.

If you think you can catch something with a sword, sit on the floor and meditate for a long time. Rise again, swing your sword again to see if it is true, and repeat indefinitely.

But there was no great progress.

I handled various forms of swords and learned more about them than ever before, but that was it.

I still haven't had enough to put all these together and cross the sword.

Of course, I believe that if I sharpen the cornerstone slowly like this...

Recently, I've made a lot of progress, so I feel overwhelmed.

It was the first time I experienced Yoon-suk who could see the answer after every effort.

‘I don't even know how to use this thing to preach abort.... ’

Yoon-suk woke up from his seat sighing.

With the week-long timer ringing, it was time to meet with Ashton and report on your survival and hear the situation on Earth.

“Welcome.”

As you go to the square, Ashton greets you, sitting quietly and waiting as if he knew you were coming.

Yoon-suk sat across from me and told me about the events that happened on Earth last week.

There was nothing as urgent as the last demonic invasion, but Yoon-suk was intrigued to hear his story.

Ashton has a pretty funny way of saying the same thing, so the head speed, which was only a 'sword’, was moderately ventilated when he listened to it.

“Oh, you know what? The religious community is in a frenzy. ”

“A commotion?”

“Yes. Do you remember the Savior Bridge we talked about last time? ”

The Savior was an emerging religious force who believed that Yoon-suk was the Savior.

I heard that there was evidence of a miracle that everyone could see, but the believers are already increasing worldwide…….

It is because Yoon-suk is Korean. Even in a foreign country, he calls the word ’Salvation Bridge’ according to the word.

“The Salvation Religion declared all religions heretics. ”

Yoon-suk was ridiculous.

How can a religion less than two months old say that all religions with thousands of years of history are heretics?

At the sight of Yoon Seok, who laughed in vain, Ashton also fainted.

“Funny, isn't it? But actually, it's pretty serious. I don't know if it's just that kind of cult, but the size of the Savior Religion has gotten too big. ”

The Tower of Perforation has emerged and the foundations of all religions have fallen. In the meantime, Yoon-suk, who had the power to approach God, appeared.

A miracle that has come true.

The one who proved himself in the tower and returned with the power to save the world.

Faith is built on the aspirations of the weak.

And the statue that Yoon-suk showed that day was enough to fulfill their aspirations.

“I think this is the result of preparing for disbelief in the world's government that was then powerless. ”

“… I see. ”

After that, Yoon-suk had several conversations, even if they were not religious.

Maybe Fahur made it to the ninth floor through the eighth floor.

A challenger in China said the stock price is rising these days.

Some lady challenger is making a hit on the TV show.

“But you've been here a long time, right? ”

After talking for a long time, Ashton suddenly hung up and asked.

Usually, if the conversation was roughly over, Yoon-suk returned to the waiting room to train like a ghost, and his eyes filled with doubts.

Well, you wouldn't understand if I told you the whole story about the sword.

Yoon-suk said it was no big deal.

“What happened to that? ”

“That's what he said.... ”

“I thought you'd want to find out more if it was solid information at the time. How did it go?”

Eshton nods as if he understood.

“In fact, I don't have the income to do this. There are fewer challengers on Earth who have come to the 11th floor in the first place, and none of them have found anything like that. ”

“Is that so?”

Was it just a rumor, too?

The 11th Floor Exploration has items that can be attributed to equipment and taken to another dimension.

If the information had been confirmed, Yoon-suk couldn't hide his disappointment because he was going to go through the expedition with 500LP right away.

Do we have to wait any longer? ’

Once you go up there, you'll never be able to explore the 11th floor again.

So, Yoon-suk spent time training without challenging the next floor.

Seeing the taste again, Ashton opened his mouth in a gentle tone.

“By the way, There's a rumor going around that something a little strange can be gained from the 11th Floor expedition among the challengers. ”

“So?”

“I know there is a proverb in Korea that says, 'Will the chimney smoke at the time?' ”

It feels strange to hear black Americans speaking Korean proverbs from the face.

“And one of our expedition challengers recently discovered a secret space on the 11th floor. I thought I should have the key, but I couldn't find it, so I had to come back empty-handed. ”

I thought I knew what Ashton was trying to say.

There is at least one secret room, and if you have it, you'll find out if you used 500LP.

“ ……. ”

Yoon-suk touched his chin with a vague expression.

To be honest, I was quite tempted.

‘LP is useless... ’

I was a little sore just to stay in the waiting room.

I feel foolish to be doing this because I only regret 500 LPs.

‘If you can open a secret space without the item, at least you'll find the original battle. ’

Moreover, experiences in new environments may inspire in some way and unblock them.

Soon, Yoon-suk made a decision.

“You said exploration runs one-to-one, right? ”

“That's right.”

“Let's postpone the next contact for 15 days. ”

“Yes?”

After understanding what Eshton meant when he tilted his head, he gladly nodded and told me a few things to prepare for the expedition.

* * *

Your purchase has arrived.

Please check the bottom of the statue.

Sub-space bags, Rank E's ‘mapping’ technology, lanterns, and food.

After returning to the waiting room, Yoon Suk bought all of the preparations Ashton told him about, except Lantern and the food.

The idea that darkness itself is no longer a problem, but that if necessary, it is enough to replace the light of purification.

There was no need to say more food. Yoon-suk hasn't felt an empty stomach since he got it.

* Exploration Orders - subject to exploration trials on a difficulty level. However, you can get a reward, but you cannot get an upgrade.

Yoon-suk had both hands on the order he had bought for 500 LP.

Now that we're ready…….

It was time to leave this bloody waiting room.

Supportive positions!

Exploration Orders have been used.

The 11th floor exploration area is the Maze of the Abyss.

This is different from the mission.

No difficulty choice.

Moreover, there are no target conditions.

No, if there is one thing.

Survive for 15 days and explore the area.

Go to Start Point.

Unlike the silent waiting room itself, you hear loud noises from the beginning.

Yoon-suk opened his eyes quietly.

As Ashton had heard, there were quite a few challengers at Startpoint.

The number is about 100 people.

‘I feel like I'm in a real dungeon. ’

Yoon-suk slowly looked around.

The start point was a vast underground cavity, like an ant's den.

It was shaped with hundreds of forks on the edges.

Stay in a safe zone, including start points, for up to 24 hours.

I can see more and more time in the corner of my vision, as the return time continued to appear when I was on Earth.

00: 00: 37

Perhaps a workplace to formulate challengers who only take time away from the safety zone during exploration deadlines.

‘I feel different from the mission. ’

It was a time when I was wandering around feeling like I was exploring a new world.

“Hey……. ”

A man came to Yoon-suk.

“Are you expecting a colleague? ”

Then Eshton said.

In exploration, it's almost normal to have a party at Startpoint like this.

The content of the trial itself is only surviving for a few days, so it would be nice to have a lot of colleagues.

‘Well, I think it's a long term loss……. ’

Yoon-suk made it clear that he wasn't waiting for a colleague, but he didn't intend to save one.

Then the approaching man swung his back and turned to hear everything.

“You don't seem to be much, being picky. ”

Looks like Yoon-suk just understood that he turned it down because he didn't see it.

‘I think there are people like that everywhere. ’

Within a few moments, Yoon-suk took a blank parchment out of his bag and activated his mapping technique.

Then, the visible spot was drawn in the form of a map.

‘This is why I feel like I'm playing a game...... ’

One caution is always forbidden.

Even an explorer who hears that difficulties are easier than missions, it's true that the Tower of Perforation is a test.

‘Let's go then. ’

Yoon-seok chose the path closest to his current position and moved on. As soon as I got out of the starting point, things got dark around me.

I couldn't see through the darkness whether there was something systematic.

“The light of purification. ”

Soon, Yoon-suk continued to walk, using 'the light of purification’ as a simple way of illuminating the field of view.

Since I received my Plum Sword's Magic Recovery Calibration, I was able to recover more than I used to keep the light.

Where are we going this time? ’

The third fork in less than three minutes.

You think to the left or to the right, and for the first time, a magic potion appears.

“Glug...! ”

It was a magical object with a sword, shield, and iron helmet.

Descendants of the Vikings. Or is it an ancestor?

Even with only the bone, the kidney looked over 4m.

"You have encountered an enemy that is not a human or a Demibeast.

Temporarily increases Agility by +1.

Arc Hunter's hunting gloves have been activated.

However, there was no buff when dealing with large magical objects.

Even though it was that big, it was not enough to be classified as a large magical object.

‘Well, compared to HYDRA, it's a congenital hemophilia. But it's magic, but it's not evil... Was HYDRA special back then? ’

It was at the time when I was encountering the first magic object and making me think like that.

“Guaaaaah!”

The Skeleton Warrior waved his sword from top to bottom, making a strange sound to make sure that he didn't like it.

Whoo-hoo!

I heard a heavy sound because the sword I was holding along with my body size was very thick.

But…….

What are you so weak for? ’

Yoon-suk seemed like a joke to me.

There was no need to raise the blood marker. Yoon Seok picked up the Judge Sword and took the sword.

I didn't give much strength, but I was thrown back from the Skeleton Warrior's side.

‘But I still use a sword. Let's give it a try. ’

Soon, Yoon-suk wielded his sword.

Very slowly.

It was a glutton sword that I had practiced several times in the waiting room.

Whoo-hoo!

A gluteal sword is not just a slow sword.

A slow, yet beforehand sword.

That's a gluteal sword.

‘I can definitely feel something better when I'm fighting someone with low standards. ’

In order to use the Glutton Sword, the Pokémon must know the opposing Pokémon's movements and take control of the space.

In that sense, this opponent was very good for practice. It was a little hard to practice blunt blade dealing with a hematological replicator.

‘Good of you to come. ’

Yoon-suk practiced his blunt blade for a long time without deliberately killing the Skeleton Warrior.

If it was a duel, I wouldn't have been so relaxed.

It was a time when I was getting more familiar with the blunt blade.

“What, this moron? ”

A man appears from behind mutters like that.

Earlier, I was the man who approached Yoon-suk as a colleague.

When the man saw Yoon-suk's face, he was flawed, and he had a smile on his mouth.

“You were an idiot, weren't you? ”

“ ……? ”

Is it because it's been such a long time?

Or is it because there's too much difference in the original level?

I don't know, but Yoon-suk realized after a long time.

That horse is headed for you.

To be honest, I wasn't that angry.

It was just very new.
