Part 2 Episode 34
I opened my eyes.
The red sky symbolizing the summer world.
I could see hundreds of players sprawled out below.
‘But the distance…’
It’s far.
This is because the personal space is released in an unstable state and is distorted from the initially designated location.
“I’m exhausted.”
dump.
Taehyeon placed the saint and demon sword he was carrying on the floor.
The demon sword is the doppelganger’s physical exhaustion due to excessive use of power, and the saintess is also in a state of temporary loss of consciousness after receiving shock that would not be surprising if she were to die if she were an ordinary S rank.
I wasn’t worried.
As long as both of you get enough rest, you’re a monster that can wake up without any problems.
Taehyun himself lay down next to the two countries’ powerhouses.
In reality, the battle was the same as that of a doppelganger, but by imitating an energy drain, he almost stuck a straw into the five superior species.
It was natural for him to get tired since he had received a lot of magical energy with his unstable body.
Taehyun replayed the battle from a little while ago.
‘Personal space. It’s also a useful skill.’
Subspace personal space. This is one of the techniques Taehyun used in the past when he was mortal.
Although it is different from entering the opponent’s mental world or one’s own mental world, it was still a useful skill in that it allowed one to do their best without being affected by the surrounding terrain.
One problem is that it is not activated by the original skill and the space is unstable.
‘Is maintenance time the problem right now?’
Hundreds of elites from New Korea and Japan used their magic power to the point of exhaustion and lasted about 10 minutes.
‘It seems that confining the highest species has its limits…’
It was not a technology that could be used for a long time.
I had to grow up as quickly as possible and be able to do it on my own.
‘The awakening level is…’
This is the moment when Taehyun is about to check the status window.
Tiring.
[Awakening level changes.]
[Awakening level changes.]
From B to A. From A to S.
Let’s take a moment to feel happy about our physical abilities stabilizing as we move up two levels.
[warning. An entity that deviates from the ‘Laws of the Tower’ has been detected.]
‘…?’
My face froze at the message that followed.
I don’t know exactly what the law of the tower means, but I don’t have many good memories of the word law in it.
‘But… it’s a warning?’
[warning. The ‘Tribe of the Tower’ is interested.]
[Warning. The ‘Tribe of the Tower’ calls the ‘Administrator of the Tower’.]
[Warning. ‘The top manager’ is shocked.]
Taehyun’s heart started pounding at the successive messages.
It is not clear who the tribune of the tower is, but just because he shows interest in Taehyeon, a series of warning messages come to mind.
He is also calling on Tolkien, the tower’s manager.
It seemed as if Tolkien was sharing a message that only he should see with Taehyun.
It was clear something was wrong.
The system of the three thousand worlds.
Constellation system of constellations.
Taehyun thought about the two systems he experienced.
‘This is Tolkien’s warning… that you must not be caught by a guy called a tribune.’
It was an idea that Taehyun could do because he was at the top and knew the truth about the status window system.
In a moment, the contents of the message that appeared before my eyes became more diverse.
[warning. ‘The Tower Manager’ mentions a large-scale quest.]
[Warning. The ‘Tower Manager’ asks for some time.]
[Warning. The ‘Tribe of the Tower’ shows his discomfort.]
[Warning. The ‘Tower Manager’ conveys his intention to run away immediately.]
[Warning. The ‘Tower Manager’ answers that the tribune’s heart is more important than the ‘quest.’]
[Warning. The ‘Tribe of the Tower’ instructs you to find those who deviate from the rules.]
[Warning. ‘The tower manager’ nods.]
Taehyun is holding his breath and looking at the message that appears in front of him.
[warning. ‘The Tower Manager’ drops the magic wand.]
Tolkien did something.
Tiring.
[Skill ‘Pandora’s Box (S)’ is unlocked.]
[Skill ‘Pandora’s Box (S)’ has been activated.]
[Specify the target.]
Huaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?
A soft light drifted from Taehyun’s body.
That was it.
[safety. The ‘Tribe of the Tower’ looks pitiful.]
[Safe. ‘The Tower Manager’ falls forward.]
Tolkien fell flat and bowed his head.
That message was the last.
The constant warning sound went silent.
‘What kind of situation are you in, Tolkien? Why did Pandora’s box suddenly…’ Immediately
after the skill was activated, the message changed from warning to safety.
Taehyun intuitively sensed that Tolkien had saved him from danger.
I opened the status window.
A grade that has grown to S grade.
‘Predation’ and ‘Dream eating’ are still sealed, and ‘Pandora’s Box’ has been unlocked without any explanation.
Even now, as it is still in use, its magic power is draining away.
Even if you have S-grade magical power, the consumption value is enough to require you to drink potions from time to time.
‘This might be a more complicated situation than I thought.’
I thought I could simply return to the past and regain my strength, but as time passes, reefs appear in unexpected places.
Tolkien seemed to be in a hurry to prevent Taehyeon from being stranded.
‘Is the rapidly growing awakening level the problem…? Or…’
“Kim Taehyun…!!”
I was awakened from my thoughts by a voice coming from far away.
Yoo Ah-young was running.
Behind her, Kwon Kang-hyuk, Park Seong-jin, Kwak Si-yang, Hwangeom and Milgeom were coming.
This is because they have the highest strength except for the demon sword and the saint, so they have preserved their strength in preparation for a possible attack.
“Taehyun-kun!!”
“Are you okay?!!”
“The monsters…!!”
“Fuck you. “Isn’t my brother hurt somewhere?”
Four players frantically asked me how I was doing.
“Demon sword…!!”
“Saint!! Come to your senses…!!”
Milgeom and Hwangeom confirmed the status of the two countries’ power levels.
Only then did New Korea’s players look at the power levels of the two countries.
Unlike Taehyun, his entire body is a mess.
“Kim Taehyun! “How did this happen?”
“Explain!!”
Hwangeom and Milgeom growled and gave off fighting spirit.
This is because I thought Taehyun did something to them in the space.
“These damn bastards… don’t pay attention, do they?”
“speculation. Wouldn’t it be better to let it sink in?”
Kwon Kang-hyuk and Yoo Ah-young stood next to Tae-hyeon, raising their fighting skills.
There was tension that would not be surprising even if an armed conflict broke out immediately.
“Everyone calm down. “Have you forgotten your oath?”
Seongjin Park said this while calming down the two guild leaders.
“you’re right. Just defeating the monster is a great achievement. “Now is not the time to fight among ourselves.”
Kwak Si-yang soothed Hwangeom and Milgeom and calmed them down.
Taehyun nodded as if agreeing with the gaze directed at him.
“It’s because I’m physically exhausted. The injury was recovered with the saint’s skills, so she will wake up in time. and.”
Kiiiii –
Taehyun rotated the magic stone formed around his heart.
The S-class magical power that had grown and accumulated was amplified by magic stones and spread throughout the body.
The six S-rank players flinched from the unexpected energy.
Taehyun made eye contact with the frozen Hwanggeom Milgeom.
“You two better be careful what you say.”
“…!!”
“…!!”
It was a quiet but clear warning.
There is no reason to tolerate any more rude behavior.
Unlike Hwangeom, whose face turned red, Milgeom opened his mouth softly.
“…be careful.”
“great.”
Taehyun smiled brightly.
“Take the two players and return.”
The two national powerhouses quickly drifted apart.
After a short silence, it was Kwak Si-yang who opened his mouth.
As he is more sensitive to magic than anyone else, he was the first to notice Taehyun’s change.
“Taehyun… you can’t believe it….”
“Yes. “I have grown to S rank.”
It seems like there is no need to hide it.
Taehyun showed off all his magic power.
Hahahahaha.
A stable magical power comparable to that of the four players rose like a haze.
“Huh….”
“What the fuck…!!”
“Amazing…”
“What on earth happened inside?”
Yoo Ah-young asked.
The faces of the others were no different.
“It’s going to take…a long time to explain.”
“There’s plenty of time!”
“There’s a lot of food!”
“The saint and the demon sword also need to recover, so we’ll have to stay here for a while!”
“great. “Then let’s go into the barracks and talk.”
In addition to the recovery of the Demon Sword and the Saint, many players were exhausted.
I had to stay here and recover for a while.
Taehyun returned to the New Korea camp with the four players.
“Guys!! “The brother in this body has finally become S-rank!!”
On Saemi-ro’s side, who were exhausted by Kwon Kang-hyuk’s shout, burst into cheers.
As Park Seong-jin, who was next to him, nodded, the cheers of the association players increased.
It was the first cheer I felt in a long time.
‘Because it’s S-rank…’
It’s slower than expected because there’s no predation. Even though there was no predation, it arrived sooner than expected.
Taehyun clenched and unclenched his fist.
Complex skills will still be difficult to use, but simple skills will be able to be imitated.
‘Just wait a moment, Tolkien.’
Taehyun thought of a close friend who was struggling to protect his own existence.
‘I’ll come pick you up soon.’
It took a week for the Demon Sword and the Saint to complete their recovery.
Around that time.
Reports reached them that war had broken out outside the tower.
* * *
Dreaming.
The Succubus Queen’s tentacles wrapped around the monster’s body.
In front of her, one of the highest ranking officials made a report.
[Not long ago, there was a huge barrier reaction on the 4th floor. It appears that humans and Jormungand’s family clashed.]
[Jormungand? Can those guys move that far?]
[Yes. There were five who were determined to be a higher species… but the reaction disappeared immediately.]
[Hmm~ So they disappeared.]
At the following report, the queen sitting on the throne rubbed her chin.
[That’s strange. There is no way that the level of humans has risen to that level.]
[I doubt that he is a contractor for other Grand Dukes.]
[Yes. That makes sense.]
Although his personal military power was insignificant, the story would be different if he accepted the Archduke’s magical power.
The problem is whose contractor this person is.
The highest ranking member cautiously opened his mouth.
[Isn’t Igmun the one who is hostile to Jormungand… and creates a barrier?]
Vampire Lord Igmun. The king of the incubuses, who is in complete contrast to her.
It’s been quite a while since he hasn’t been seen recently.
[If true, this is an interesting situation.]
Succubi and incubus have no different origins.
In other words, if you are Igmun’s contractor, you can also become her contractor.
[Save her alive and bring her to the original woman.]
[I understand.]
After answering, the family member disappeared.
This is because the report was made using hallucinations followed by mental control.
[I’m a contractor…. The main woman should also prepare soon.]
Slurrrrr.
A tentacle moved beneath Rosaria’s feet.
Tentacles wrapped around the body of the monster bound at her feet like a snake.
[Isn’t that right?]
Rosaria made eye contact with the monster that had been raised up by its tentacles.
Despite the Archduke’s question.
[Uh…uh…]
The bound high-species vampire monster could only scream dryly.
