Chapter 63
Thud...
Dekan staggered backward.
A diagonal white scar marked his upper body.
The red eye light flickering in his eyes was rapidly fading.
Dekan's body slowly collapsed to the ground.
And life also drained from my body.
[You have defeated the boss Monster!]
[Your level has increased!]
[Lv.43 → 45]
Fortunately, the draining life force rapidly recovered.
I thought I was going to die.
The torn body was woven together like hundreds of threads, and then it was restored.
['Strength' stat increases by 12.]
['Agility' stat increases by 13.]
['Stamina' stat increases by 10.]
['Mana' stat increases by 9.]
Gray smoke rose from Dekan's toes.
Ssshhhh……
It seemed his form was disappearing.
Turbid golden eyes were visible through his white hair.
I glared.
Because Dekan's turbid eyes suddenly became clear.
"Dekan?"
I lowered my head and looked at Dekan's face.
"Thank you."
A very faint voice was heard.
"Disciple of the great forerunners."
Those were his last words.
Soon, the two eyes that had briefly cleared immediately became turbid again.
His open mouth closed.
His eyes also closed.
Hwaaa-
Dekan literally scattered like flowers.
Disciple of the great ones.
Do those 'great forerunners' refer to the Transcendence Gallery seniors who taught him techniques or martial arts?
Since he had already vanished, I couldn't ask him.
The interpretation would have to be left to the seniors.
I picked up a sword that had fallen on the floor.
It was one of the items Dekan had left behind.
Swish-
[Eukaletta's Fang]
It was like an equivalent exchange for the completely broken Great Enemy Sword Karnavalt, which couldn't even be repaired.
I put Dekan's sword into my Inventory.
The other item was a book.
"……."
Sword Manual.
[Valsenartz Swordsmanship Manual]
It was a book of swordsmanship that Absolute Monarch senior had taught to Knight Dekan.
I put the Sword Manual into my Inventory.
[You have cleared the 10th floor Stage.]
['Player - Han Yuseong' 10th floor Stage score is being calculated.]
[Hidden quest selected and succeeded. Additional score is applied.]
[Additional score requirement 'Eliminate Powerful Foe' is met. Additional score is applied.]
[Eliminate Powerful Foe: 'Knight of Glory - Dekan']
The existing 10th floor ranking score window appeared.
1st - Union Leader: 892 points
2nd - Black Star: 801 points
4th - Chasing: 793 points
5th - LifeIsPainByDefault: 747 points
⋮
⋮
[Score calculation is complete.]
[Han Yuseong: 4,578 points]
"Huh?"
4,578 points?
What the.
What is this absurd score?
Until now, even if it was high, it was only a little more than twice the score of Union Leader, who always maintained the top spot, but this far exceeded that scale.
[You will automatically move to the '11th floor Stairway waiting room' in 3 minutes.]
Swish! Swish!
While I was briefly distracted by the score, I heard the sound of someone approaching from the distance, cutting through the bushes.
Two figures simultaneously burst out of the bushes.
It was the magician Yunes and Riselinn, the leader of the Lucerna Mercenary Group.
After Riselinn saw the scenery where the giant trees were cut and tilted, she looked at me.
"…What happened to Knight Dekan?"
Riselinn and Yunes were panting, as if they had run frantically.
"He vanished."
Riselinn checked the scorched earth and seemed to believe my words.
Riselinn suddenly rummaged through her bag and hurriedly handed something over.
"It's an identification guarantee badge. Use it instead of a mercenary badge. In case of emergency. The words 'Lucerna Mercenary Group guarantees identity' and the mercenary leader's seal are engraved on the back, so Yuseong won't be easily harmed on the Valtera continent."
After finishing the explanation, Riselinn sighed.
"Do you know how absurd it is to not have a mercenary badge? It's fortunate that no one is thinking of identifying Yuseong right now. When you reappear later, get a mercenary badge first. From the Empire Mercenary Headquarters."
It seemed she had quickly prepared it as soon as she heard from me two days ago that I didn't have a mercenary badge.
"Thank you."
I answered, fiddling with the round silver identification guarantee badge.
[Lucerna Mercenary Group's Identification Guarantee Badge]
Category - Accessory
Description: An identification guarantee badge given to a person whose identity is directly guaranteed by the mercenary leader of the Lucerna Mercenary Group of the Ermine Empire.
It was merely an identification guarantee badge, but I felt a new emotion different from obtaining an item with immediately useful effects.
I raised my head and looked at Yunes.
"Ah, Yunes. I used the artifact well."
Yunes smiled at me.
"Keep it. You can use it about nine more times if you use it while charging Magic Power."
The item that contributed to instantly closing the distance to Dekan.
There was no reason to refuse.
"Thank you."
Yunes spoke again.
"Are you going to disappear again?"
That, that 'disappear.'
It's spread to Riselinn.
"Yes, I think so."
"When we meet again, please tell me how you used the magic that illuminates the darkness."
"I will."
Riselinn's voice was heard from the side.
"When we meet again, will you reappear after another year and a half?"
"I'll have to see when the time comes."
Well, the problem was that I really didn't know either.
The time was up.
A pure white circular light flowed out from under me.
"See you next time."
['Visographica' filming will automatically end.]

Countless comments began to be posted on the post uploaded to the Transcendence Gallery.

-
He's here.
-
Did you guys in the Climber Gallery see the 10th floor ranking window change? WTF ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ How do you even get that kind of score?
-
He~~~~~~came back alive~~~~~~~~
-
How the hell did this crazy bastard come back alive?
-
Ice Queen) Freeze…! The stopped time…! Has begun to flow…! Ice, tag!
-
I got spoiled about his survival because of the ranking.
-
It wouldn't have been strange if he had died.
-
Pandemonium is praying desperately, but he won't die.
-
Dragon King) Beltui- Have you finally come? My life's fun, drama, hope, light, and salt. (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵)و
-
I preemptively typed RIP, but I deleted it after seeing the ranking window update. Sorry.
-
Shrine Maiden) Hawaawa, it's a situation where suspicion is possible. But this Shrine Maiden didn't suspect it.
"Hoo-hoo-hoo…."
【Shrine Maiden】
Soyohwa looked at the talismans attached to the wall.
Just by looking, there were more than a dozen talismans.
"It's a good thing I prayed."
They were all traces of praying for the Climber's survival.
-
What's the total length of the video? 7 minutes? How many minutes is the battle part??
-
Yes*) About 4 minutes.
-
Average.
-
Is the average you're talking about the average time to die?
-
WTF should I save it for later?
-
Did he kill Dekan?? How did he kill him? Did he use drugs?
-
Water King) How can you give drugs to an already dead Death Knight!!!!!! You bastard!!!!!!
-
?? The furry is suddenly going on a rampage, does that mean he's done it himself?
-
Water King) Ah, no!!! You bastard!!!!!!!!
-
He really seems to have done it;
-
How did a Rank 4 kill a Rank 6? Seriously.
-
Pioneer) Everyone, press play now, let's go into the screening.
-
3, 2, 1 Paaah!
Next to the wall where the talismans were hanging, on an empty wall, the video was being projected through the Transcender Gallery Terminal.
It was the scene where Dekan was blocking the vertically descending sword with Sword-Shield Art Libra.
"Heu-heung-heung, he's blocking well."
Soyohwa hummed and picked up a dumpling to eat.
Then, she picked up a bottle of baijiu placed next to the dumpling and poured it into a glass.
She slowly began to drink the baijiu.
"This is life, nom…."
A tough life where she had to stop the monsters on the front lines even after ending the damn Tower and returning…!
The Climber who suddenly appeared in such a life was like salt.
Soyohwa enjoyed the eye and mouth-pleasing entertainment she had experienced in a long time.
-Kuwoong!
The scene flowing on the screen now was the Heaven and Earth Seal that Dekan unfolded by slamming down a Magic Power-filled shield. It was the moment when Han Yuseong responded with a Domain completed by imbuing Sword Qi with the same principle.
-
Absolute Monarch) Well done. You did as I explained.
-
Spear King) WTF is it normal to just do it like that after explaining it?
-
Absolute Monarch) It's not normal.
-
I'm confident I can't do it even if I do it a hundred times.
-
I'll bet 1 year on receiving it a hundred times.
-
I'll bet 5 years on receiving 1 year.
-
Aigo, shibal, my lords….
-
Ice Queen) Freeze…! If it's 5 years, can't you do that much…?
-
Interpretation: No matter what, if you can't do that in 5 years, are you even the same human being?
-
Shibal, everyone, that's why there's nothing more evil than purity.
-
Pure evil GOAT
-
There are cases where you can't do that if you're good at fighting but don't have the talent to properly adjust aura fine-tuning.
-
Kwang! Kwaang!
The next scene that unfolded not long after was the sight of the Climber being hit by Dekan's attack and being endlessly thrown far back.
-
Kwaaaang!
-
He's being thrown back coolly ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-
Can't we see this in first person? Ah, I had to buy it separately. First-person filming….
-
Jjuhdak) Yes, I think that'll be on the 30th floor.
-
Oh wow, do you buy things like first-person filming with coins? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Funny.
-
Scum Sword Saint) There's no such thing as a free lunch.
-
It's obvious that you'll feel nauseous if you watch this in first person, so why are you looking for first person?
-
Ma, that's the taste of watching in first person.
-
Elf) This is also something to be grateful for, so why are you looking for first person? Just watch it roughly.
-
Grateful-? Graaateful? You, the Elf, the symbol of freedom, are you?? You have a proper slave mentality.
-
Elf) If the World Tree gives a proper prophecy, there's nothing as easy as that when controlling the kids.
-
The Elf race will go extinct soon…with people like this in the leadership.
【Sword of Light】
Elena de Brinier, in the 'Doombringer' state, watched Han Yuseong, who was facing off against Dekan, suddenly retreat backward.
Immediately after that, the scene came out where Dekan vertically raised his sword and prepared a 'Domain.'
And then the action Han Yuseong showed generated numerous comments.
-
?
-
He's a properly crazy bastard after all.
-
He didn't run away after seeing the Domain preparation motion and immediately stabbed Breath of the Extreme into his side hahaha
-
He didn't give up on that and chose to stack Limit Break haha
-
Madness!!!!!!
-
He's not going back to the starting line~~
-
Look at his mentality.
-
Scum Sword Saint) Wow, if I were a Rank 4, I couldn't do that.
-
After all, do you have to be out of your mind to escape the ordinary? Have I been living too normally? From tomorrow, I'll definitely hit my head against a tree a hundred times before starting training.
-
Pioneer) Isn't that just going in a really crazy direction?
-
Get lost, great Hard ender. You don't know the heart of an ordinary person.
Elena looked at the ground.
There was a fragmented sword there.
"……."
Holy Sword, Ecclesia.
The Holy Sword that she had hurriedly smashed with a hammer after calling the Empire's dwarf blacksmith.
'Weapons' cannot be transmitted through Interdimensional Trade.
To send it, it had to be made into fragments.
Into fragments small enough for Interdimensional Trade to approve.
The dwarf was angry, asking why she was smashing the Holy Sword, but it didn't matter if it could give the Climber a possibility.
After all, there was one more Holy Sword.
The Holy Sword recognizes its owner.
So the Holy Sword, Ecclesia, allowed Elena's will to destroy herself.
Nevertheless, it was possible to destroy it by consuming quite a bit of Magic Power due to the inherent defensive power it possessed as a Holy Sword.
Of course, it was only a speck of dust compared to the total amount of Mana Elena possessed.
Elena smiled as she looked at the projected screen.
He's a worthwhile existence.
Worthwhile to do things that others call crazy.
Han Yuseong in the screen began to move again.
