Turns Out To Be a Genius Duelist

"Group Mission (1/15).

With the numbers in brackets, this mission must have been 15 missions in total.

For your information, if you fail to complete the mission more than once.

‘Not bad. ’

Although it looks unfamiliar, Yoon-suk liked the mission method quite well.

Unlike the mission duration, this means you can get out of here as soon as you clear it.

“Well, let's go without wasting any time. Is there anyone here who can't fly? ”

A car holding a sword and waiting for the enemy to spill out soon.

Jacques looks at the challengers and asks questions.

I didn't understand.

“Flying? Why would you ask me that? ”

The first mission is very simple.

We close the cracks and gather information about them so as to prevent an army of destruction.

Then why check the flight capability?

Lee Su-yeon answered for me.

“The rift in this mission must be manually inserted to close it. I think he knows that. ”

A normal crack disappears as if you had done everything you could to defeat all the invaders.

The rift in front of one eye must have gone in and done something, just like the last expedition 500 years ago went into the rift itself.

I looked at Lee Su-yeon and looked at her as if she was interesting.

“The Seeker seems to know about this mission? ”

“Roughly.”

“That's comforting. If you can hear what that bastard has to say, we need to get inside. It'll be a little easier to get in before the enemy shows up. ”

Later, Jacquel once again confirmed his flight capability, and other challengers responded cooperatively.

They met on the 22nd floor in a mission test, so they were both able to fly on their own.

“Then you two get on my back. ”

Jacquard's body swells quickly and turns into a giant beast. It was the form of a lion with wings.

He boarded two flightless challengers, and the remaining challengers followed behind him.

The methods were all varied.

“Fly.”

“Wing of Ethers. ”

Some have floating magic, some have wings on their backs, and some have wings on their summons.

By the way, the last one was a thousand horses.

“Yong Yong. Let's go. ”

“Yes, ma'am. ”

Dragon returned to the shape of the dragon burned a thousand horses and flexed its wings. It was bigger than a messy horse.

I didn't know he was human. When did he get so big?

It was a little surprising.

‘Well, it's only natural that they will grow larger later than houses, right? ’

Soon, Yoon-seok followed behind him with nothing to use.

Suddenly, I wondered why he chose a way to ride dragons....

“A dragon... Amazing.”

It seemed to me that the admiration of the challengers around me was getting higher and higher, and somehow I understood why.

Within a while, Yoon-suk turned his attention to Lee Su-yeon.

“Su-yeon, what is that? ”

“I got it a long time ago. ”

She crosses the wind like a skateboard or something.

And is this the heart of a man?

I wanted to have it somehow. I don't really need to stay.

“So what do we do now? ”

“You can go inside and break the crack stone. ”

“What information did you ask for? ”

“I don't know about that. I don't remember anything like that... Is it because it's high quality? ”

“Quality?”

Then when the mission begins. There was a statement that the quality of the group's mission had increased.

So what is quality?

“A higher quality doesn't mean stronger enemies. Should we just say that the calibration of the tower is reduced and resembles reality as much as possible? That's how many variables there are. ”

“Variable?”

A word that cannot be said to be good.

Then Yoon-suk tilted his head.

At that moment, vision darkened, swallowing the challengers who faced the geography.

"I entered a gap in the dimension.

An army of destruction feels the presence of intruders.

Yoon-suk opened his eyes with a slight feeling of nausea.

It was similar to the space that was the background of the 'Queen.’

Standing on the invisible floor, I felt like I was in the middle of the universe.

I couldn't feel the enemy's movements right away, and I couldn't see anyone except Lee Su-yeon, who was right next to me before I entered.

“Looks like they're splitting up. ”

“You didn't say that? ”

“I just told you. With the quality going up, there's bound to be some unexpected variables. I never thought I'd be doing this from the start. ”

But is it with Lee Su-yeon that we are fortunate? I fell, but I won't have to worry about the thousand horses.

If you drop it anywhere in the world, you won't get a whiff of yourself.

However, as much anxiety as such.

‘... You can't be having another accident, right? ’

The expedition commander dies, the guardian dragon dies.

How much trouble did I have to endure in the last mission because of what Thousand Horses did?

That's why I was going to take Lee Su-yeon's advice about the incident without taking my eyes off the thousand horses as much as possible.

One fell like this and it became a bubble.

“I think we should skip gathering information and move on to the next mission……. Where can I find that crack stone? ”

“Well…? ”

Lee Su-yeon, who is a regretter, knows things like the encyclopedia. But it wasn't the all-round Cheeky.

Especially if it's different from the past since the meadow.

“Sura.”

“Glug?”

“Where do you think we should go? ”

There are no topographical features everywhere in the world.

If you don't just stand there, you have to move everywhere. And Yoon-suk decided to leave the role to Azura.

We decided to trust Asura's enhanced intuition.

“Glug... Glug!”

Asura takes the lead after a moment of deliberation.

Lee Su-yeon, who did not know the ‘instinct strengthening’ of Asura, made a silly expression for a moment, but followed her gently to make sure she didn't think she was much different after all.

How long has it been?

"There is a special challenge within a radius of 1 km.

Something came up.

* * *

“… Challenges? ”

Lee Su-yeon lit up her eyes with the words in front of her eyes.

She doesn't become a ranker before her return, and climbs the tower on her way to the mission.

That's why I was on the 22nd floor.

Well, it wasn't the only difficulty at the time, and even though there were no variables from the beginning....

But the basic framework was the same.

How did it go then? ”

Lee Su-yeon looked back at her past memories.

It was nothing.

At the beginning of the mission, I fought against the enemies spilling from the rift, and when the rift didn't close, I went into the rift with a tearing heart.

And you wandered there for a long time, searching for the crack stone and moving on to your next mission with your breath.

“Why doesn't Su-yeon know about this? ”

“… Yes. ”

Lee Su-yeon nodded shakily.

Of course, there are challenges for missions on the 22nd floor.

One, I haven't heard from any challengers I met since I found the challenge on my first group mission.

This means that it is such a difficult task to find.

And you're just gonna find it like this?

‘… What kind of lucky god was this brother in his previous life? ’

Usually these hidden tasks give great rewards.

Lee Su-yeon quickly followed Yoon-suk who was going ahead. Immediately, hundreds of corpses appeared to be idle.

"Oh, those corpses! ’

Together until the regression, it was the second time I saw it.

I stumbled across this herd of corpses for a long time in the cracks. I searched for a long time to find something secret, but there was no income.

But this time it will be different.

Unlike before, they were all just corpses, there was only one survivor.

You have found a mysterious woman dying.

"Heal her and listen to her. You might get an unexpected reward.

After checking the contents of the assignment, Lee Su-yeon ran right away, unconscious, collapsed, and breathed a potion into the woman's mouth.

The condition suggests that a few minutes later, he would have been a cold corpse.

Soon, I realized Lee Su-yeon.

Why no one knew about this challenge.

How did you wake this up? ’

The mission started less than about 15 minutes ago.

And this place is quite far away from the starting point when you normally enter a crack.

Even though we know this information, it is almost physically impossible to meet it alive.

‘Maybe this is the first time I've found it all before regression...' ’

Lee Su-yeon smiled brightly and looked at Yoon-suk.

It's just...

“… El? ”

Yoon-suk stared down at the woman, stiffened like a stone.

Do you think he knows her?

* * *

“ ……. ”

Yoon-suk swallowed the sob.

White robes, dark red hair and a golden cloth around the eyes.

No matter how many times I double-checked, it was the perfect El.

Maybe before you became a manager, too.

“Brother...? ”

Unexpectedly, Yoon-suk froze as he met.

On the 21st floor, the queen came out against her.

And the mission on the 22nd floor was called "The One Who Leads Destruction." That's why I thought maybe Rick Gersei, who was threatening the tower on the Queen's side, would be the final boss.

That was quite a story.

The tower gives us this kind of ordeal because it naturally engraves the challenger's subconscious as the queen's enemy.

‘But why is El here...? ’

Though there may be some variation, the mission's trials are based on actual events.

That means that one day, El was really here.

To confront Rick.

‘I heard you haven't met Rick since you became a challenger...' Oh, you didn't know the Monarch of Destruction was Rick at this time? ’

If you say so, the front and back are frozen.

But nothing has been confirmed yet.

“Mmmm... ”

Once El was caught and moved, Yoon Seok spilled a pulverizer.

Soon, El regained consciousness.

From now on, you can ask him yourself.

“Who are you…? ”

“A challenger who has come to stop the crack. I stumbled across you in a moving car. ”

“Cracks? Challengers? Th-that can't be right... ”

“It's unbelievable, but it's true. We're from Earth. ”

This is a virtual space built by the tower, and you're just a nuisance if you say you're being reproduced, so it's best to be roughly redundant.

“… Where is Earth? This is the first dimension I've heard of. Did something like this happen besides us...! ”

“I think so. ”

When El was frightened to see if there was something wrong, Yoon-suk stood up to him.

I guess he didn't think he was the enemy after all.

Later, El asked me to comfort his colleagues.

“... What happened to the others who were with me? ”

“They're all dead. ”

“I can't... …. ”

Yoon-suk shrugged his stumbling shoulder.

It was a pity, but now it was time to solve the question.

“Anyway, I want to ask you something. We don't know if you're an enemy or an ally, so let's be honest. ”

“Yes? Yes... ”

“What were you all here for? ”

“We are here to kill the ‘Monarch of Destruction’. ”

"Ruler of Doom? Who is it?”

“… we don't know what he is or why he kills challengers. ”

As expected, El had no idea that the Monarch of Destruction was Rick.

I heard that I was in this situation after joining forces to catch him slaughtering challengers at random......

“... Can you help me? I will do anything to repay you. ”

Soon after I lost my partner, El, who was left alone in his limbs, bowed to Yoon-suk and Lee Su-yeon and asked for help.

Yoon-suk and Lee Su-yeon naturally accepted it right away, and soon it was organized into a system and I remembered the phrase.

Help the woman in question gather information about the Monarch of Destruction and help her pass it on to her colleagues. Rewards will also grow based on the value of the information.

“I……. What should I call you? I'm Elizabeth Rowen. ”

Is it because they are well educated, except for sexual education?

Asking for a full name, El said his name first.

Suddenly, I smiled.

“I'm Choi Yoon-suk. This is Lee Su-yeon. ”

Once in a five-story aspiration auction.

Once on an eighth floor mission.

Once on a 14-story mission.

And now again.

It was the fourth full name already.
