Turns Out To Be a Genius Duelist

“Are you okay now? ”

10th floor, not 4th floor as expected.

I don't know how the Seeker's Tower is any different, but if it were anything like a perforated tower, the difficulty would have been exponentially spiked.

“Jovan Trosian, the most powerful man in America, took 46 hours on the first floor. And this time, it's a collaborative mission, not an individual. It's going to be more difficult. But……. ”

Take out your weapons and be on your guard.

Chinese challenger Chen Xiaohua, who confirmed that he had five minutes through the system message, calmly pointed to the situation.

One of the great men cut off his taunt.

“Isn't he just incompetent and taking so long? ”

Taro Kitamura.

It was the mumbling of a Japanese challenger who possessed the ability to travel long distances.

He shrugs as if enjoying the gaze that gathered on him.

“He does, doesn't he? I saw the records earlier, but it didn't look like it was going to take two days. ”

Six hours tops. Three seconds tops.

But some people only spend 46 hours on the first floor.

“Did you come here on purpose? ”

Suddenly, a malicious slander blames himself, but Joban smiles heavily.

He knew.

‘You don't want to carve me up, you want to carve him up. ’

The skill gap between Kitamura and Joban is not as great as reputation.

That is, there is a slight error depending on the imagination, but the time it takes to break the first floor is there.

That's why it's even harder to accept.

The fact that a Korean challenger named Choi Yoon-suk is strong enough to tie it to the same challenger as themselves.

‘You're still young. ’

Well, I was premeditated, but I didn't want to move on.

“Taro Kitamura, the one who was scared and didn't think to reach the tower, speaks well. ”

“I just don't do anything stupid. I am.”

“Yes, and that's why you're weaker than I am. ”

“Ha? Weak? Shall we check it out? ”

When the neurometastases in both men intensified.

Ashton intervenes between the two.

“That's enough for both of you. Have you forgotten where you are? ”

“Tsk.”

I stepped back kicking Kitamura's tongue.

It was a matter of pride. He didn't really want to do it here anyway.

‘Your skills seem fine, but your personality makes it hard to use on important matters. ’

If I had known this would happen, I would have saved others, no matter how many people I didn't have.

Ashton sighed and told everyone.

“Perhaps there was some confusion with the information, but you can all rest assured. Do you know who this is? ”

Choi Yoon-suk.

The world's most famous challenger called the Savior. I also played Chen Xiao Hua several times on the day that I won the fame.

“I'm not worried about his well-being either. I just saw that tape, and I don't think that's possible. The only question is, are we safe? ”

“ ……? ”

“I didn't know what it was like. I didn't reveal the tenth floor. Whether you die here or not, you just have to fill in the numbers, right? ”

Despite Chen Xiao Hua's suspicions, Ashton shuts up in an awkward manner.

It was Yoon-suk's turn.

“That's not true. ”

“How can I believe that? What if this trial didn't start together but was a separate trial? You assumed that, too? ”

Zhao Hua Chen asked without saying a word to Yoon-suk.

But…….

“I didn't have to. ”

“ ……? ”

I stopped stifling the answer as if there was no room for concern.

A tyrant who takes sacrifices for granted?

Or are you just an overpowered, short-sighted child?

I don't know what it was, but I was curious about Chen Xiaohua.

What tendency does the challenger, called the 'Savior’ on earth, have?

And this answer made me persistent because I thought I could hold the strand.

But…….

“I can defend whatever trial comes my way. ”

Yoon-suk hurled his head in an unbroken voice.

Unbelievable confidence to show off.

As if it were natural.

“I was sure of that, so you can rest assured. ”

“ ……. ”

I don't know if I'm relieved, but at least one thing is clear.

Challenger Choi Yoon-suk was the type that Chen Xiaohua never expected.

* * *

“There's still time. I'd like more information. ”

Ashton asked Yoon-suk questions about his previous ordeal.

We also needed to disclose what the reward was so that they could guess the next trial and strategize…….

On the surface, Yoon-suk could also notice the intention to reassure the challengers who came together.

“What was the ‘breakthrough’ on the second floor? ”

“It was a test to get to the destination through traps and magic. ”

“But how did you end it in 17 seconds? ”

“I saw the portal when I destroyed it all in a straight line. ”

“ ……? ”

Yun Seok also told me about the reward he received on the second floor.

Then Eshton gives a strange look, and then he continues to listen to the situation with a face that lowers something.

“How was the third floor? It took two hours, so it was a little different. ”

“It was the duty of guarding the sealed stones that spilled out of the gate. ”

“I see. They were quite strong, weren't they? ”

Actually, it wasn't.

I swept it all away and smashed it to the gate at once, but it took me two hours to finish the seal.

Hearing this, Eshton pauses.

And instead, Maria Hopkins raises her curiosity and asks a question.

“Then what was the fourth floor? How could you have done this in 12 seconds? ”

“I think it was a trial run around the room looking for the key and opening the door. ”

“… like? ”

“There was a portal when I broke down the door. ”

“ ……? ”

For reference, the reward on the fourth floor was a 10% increase in mental tolerance for all Earth challengers.

Yun Seok briefly explained the trials he has endured so far.

“Fifth floor was a test to kill 10,000 enemies in a place like an invader's planet. ”

“ ……. ”

It took exactly 3 minutes and 12 seconds to clear.

And the reward for fighting invaders increases the power of every challenger from Earth by 1.5 times.

“Do I have to tell you next? ”

“… Yes. Please.”

6th floor, 7th floor…….

Yoon-suk recited the trials and rewards one by one.

And the more they did, the more they lost their words.

I'm talking about it as if it's nothing...

When I looked at the assignment itself, I could feel that the difficulty was increasing exponentially as the layer increased.

‘I thought I'd catch up to some extent... but I was arrogant. ”

I've already surpassed what I can do as a challenger.

Self-inflicted?

Such emotions need to be tempered to some degree.

What was the assassination on the eighth floor? ”

“They started in the square. The task was to assassinate the dark lord who was living in the palace. ”

Joban, from the mission, gives a rough picture of the situation.

Perhaps the original route was to get information and items related to the royal palace step-by-step around and break in directly.

But how did it end in three seconds?

If it had been three minutes, he would have understood at least.

I can't believe you started in Hana Plaza.It's a lot of time just to run.

At this point, I was stranded, but I still wanted to hear it directly with Yoon-suk's mouth.

But…….

“Ah, time's up. ”

Unfortunately, I couldn't hear the answer right away.

"It has been 5 minutes.

"Summons target dark creatures ADK-017.

Dwarf-!

There were tremors everywhere, like an earthquake.

At the same time, something creepy appeared in the magic circle painted on the floor.

I didn't even get a sense of what it was.

“ ……. ”

“ ……. ”

Only overwhelming horror.

It was that obvious.

Jovan Trosian. maria hopkins. Xiao Hua Chen...

I was stiff no matter who said it first.

And then...

"The Holy Altar is activated.

Depending on the number of activated altars, the power of the dark creatures ADK-017 is weakened.

Hundreds of memorials have begun to appear on the stone chamber floor.

Then they realized why this floor was a team mission, not an individual.

‘I can't just kill someone in a fight.... ’

We must move quickly to operate at least one more altar.

Only then will there be a chance of victory.

But I can't move at all.

I was paralyzed by just seeing 'that’ once, and I lost control of my body.

That's why no matter how much that man...

“ ……? ”

The only one we can rely on in our current situation.

Joban glanced at the existence of his indiscretion.

And I could see.

Yoo Woo-woo!

A whirlwind of black thunderstorms.

Is it because I feel darker and darker than that ominous dark creature's aura?

Probably not

"You have completed the ‘One Goal' on the 10th Floor of the trial.

"Every challenger from Earth is free to travel between the Earth and the Tower of Perforation.

I was called a colleague and did nothing...

One trial is over.

Joban was no longer curious about the answer to the question that had been disconnected earlier.

It was already being drawn in plain sight.

The royal palace on the eighth floor, all smashed to pieces.

What do you call assassination all of a sudden?

I had a question like that....

Well, it doesn't matter what rhetorical question it is.

Whoever the Dark Lord is, he would have died without knowing why he died.

* * *

“Well done.”

When the group of Yoon-suk who entered the Savior's Tower came out of the tower, the soldiers who were waiting paid their respects.

It's only been five minutes, but....

Their eyes were filled with respect.

He will, too. They are challengers. And then a system message came out to them simultaneously.

The 10th floor of the Governor's Tower is cleared and you can now travel to and from Earth at any time without a ticket.

“You really saved a lot of people, including us. ”

A little convenient for high-level challengers, but a little different for low-level challengers.

It meant you no longer had to risk your life to get a ticket.

“… I'll be going back now. ”

Taro Kitamura leaves in a hurry.

Joban and other challengers were able to fully understand his actions.

What they did in the tower?

All I could do was wait for death.

Still, even though they were on the front lines of the Earth's challengers, they froze like novices and did nothing.

Given the way they look at it, I'm embarrassed beyond the burden.

“... Thank you all. The US government will be in touch with you shortly as we appreciate your cooperation in this matter. ”

“You don't need the reward you promised. ”

“… but if you get dizzy, take it. There are political stances in both countries. ”

Ashton picks up Gigi's dead ones, takes them back to the helicopter, and then approaches Yun-Seok.

“The remaining time is now meaningless. What are you going to do? ”

In the future, you can always come to Earth and return to the tower at any time.

That means you can return to the tower if you want to, even now.

“Now that you're here, I'll leave it as long as I can. ”

Yoon-suk entered the tower again as if he didn't have time to rest.

And when the time is right.

I came back without any difference from the way I went in.

"I cleared the 15th Floor Crucible ‘The Path of the Emperor’.

All challengers from the globe gain +1 key stats

This should be enough for Carrie.

It was time to go back.
