Chapter 122
Chapter 122.
-???
-Why did he suddenly jump?
-Did he use too much force when leaping while running at full speed
-Does that make it possible to jump ten meters like that?
-Amazingly, the Heavenly Demon can do it...
When Lee Ganghan hopped up.
The viewers who had been quietly watching him run suddenly wondered why he was doing that.
Swish.
Lee Ganghan brought his hand toward the light flashing on the ceiling.
'No particular reaction?'
Unlike usual when approaching hidden places would produce a reaction.
Even when Lee Ganghan touched the green area, there was no change.
Thud.
So Lee Ganghan, who returned to the ground after jumping.
"Hmm."
Swoosh! Swoosh!
He jumped several more times to touch the green area.
-Wow how many meters is he jumping lol
-Sports like basketball should be banned...?
-Other players don't have their abilities reflected in reality but the Heavenly Demon does; he should be banned from all sports
-Why would the Heavenly Demon do sports when he can just click to enter the tower lol
Watching Lee Ganghan hop, hop jumping without using Heavenly Demon Divine Art.
When the viewers newly realized how excellent his physical abilities were.
'It seems I shouldn't touch it. Then should I try attacking?'
Even after several touches, the green area remained the same.
Instead of jumping again, Lee Ganghan.
Extended his palm upward.
Heavenly Demon Divine Palm
Heaven-Breaking Meteor Palm
Flash......!
Red light instantly extending from the center of his palm.
The light pierced straight through the ceiling.
Then.
Boom......!
With a loud explosion, the ceiling was blown open.
-Huh?
-What, the ceiling was supposed to be broken?
-Right;
-Why didn't anyone try until now?
-Who would think to attack a ceiling 10 meters up...
When viewers were shocked seeing the hole in the ceiling.
Lee Ganghan realized what the green light meant.
'It wasn't marking the location of treasure, but the weak point of the ceiling.'
But then won't other places break?
Swish.
Lee Ganghan also used Heaven-Breaking Meteor Palm on the ceiling where no green light was visible.
Then.
Sizzle......
Unlike the previous area.
The ceiling made of gray stone material absorbed the attack completely.
-That place doesn't work?
-What's the difference???
-Right
-Other players probably don't need to hit the ceiling haha
-They can hit it...?
-You'd need to shoot that level of laser to break it lol
When viewers found it interesting, Lee Ganghan's Heaven-Breaking Meteor Palm.
Pierced one side while the other remained intact.
"Cough, cough......"
"Screech, Screech......"
The monsters of this floor, a group of Orcs approaching Lee Ganghan.
Were backing away with terrified faces.
Well.
It's natural not to want to fight a monster that shoots red lasers from his palm and pierces the ceiling 10 meters up.
Lee Ganghan glanced at those monsters briefly.
Swish.
He turned his gaze upward again.
"I should go up and take a look."
Swoosh!
When he leaped again toward the pierced ceiling.
[You have discovered a special route.]
[You can leap from the 50th floor to the 60th floor at once.]
[Would you like to take the special route?]
A message appeared before Lee Ganghan's eyes.
'Oh.'
Letting him climb 10 floors at once.
That's not bad?
Just when running straight was getting boring.
This kind of shortcut is welcome.
When Lee Ganghan pressed yes.
Ding.
[Player 'Lee Ganghan' has discovered a special route in the Tower of Infinity for the first time in humanity.]
[Player 'Lee Ganghan' has achieved a C-grade achievement for the first time in humanity.]
[By clearing the Tower of Infinity's C-grade difficulty achievement, the difficulty of 'Tower of Infinity No.2' is slightly reduced.]
An achievement completion message appeared.
-Oh achievement completion!!!
-This one's pretty modest haha but still first in humanity congratulations
-But why isn't this one announced?
-Right, it's an achievement clear but only shows on TowerTube
-Is it because it's a C-grade achievement?
Indeed, the special route discovery achievement was grade C, so.
The reward was more modest compared to other achievements he had cleared before.
"Tower of Infinity difficulty reduction is...... is that a good thing?"
To Lee Ganghan's question.
-Many players slip up in Tower of Infinity yes
-Of course you wouldn't feel it at all, Heavenly Demon...
-There are quite a few players who can't even reach the 10th floor
-I'm one of those cases ㅠㅠ
-Me too ㅠㅠ I'll try again this time and leave a review on how much the difficulty lowered
A stream of complaints from people who couldn't even reach the 10th floor in Tower of Infinity and couldn't get promoted came up.
For those people, this achievement is a reward.
Could be quite helpful.
"They say if you go through the special route like I did, you can skip 10 floors. It would be good for climbers to reference this~"
-Oh skipping 10 floors is nice
-Will people's records improve with this?
-But how do you distinguish where to attack?
"Ah."
This is the problem.
You need Adventurer's Eye to know where to attack, right?
"You need to use exploration skills or something...... Hmm. Those with skills should look at the ceiling, and those without should just advance."
-Ah... ahhh...
-Deceiver ㅠㅠㅠㅠ
-But do exploration skills even exist? What doesn't exist?
-He hasn't used magic yet though lol
-Lasers come out of his hands; that's magic lol
After trying to inform them of a strategy method.
Seeing Lee Ganghan retract it, chat flooded up.
'Even I think it's not a very helpful strategy.'
Lee Ganghan smiled bitterly and climbed the tower again.
'Special routes aren't there every time.'
After appearing once on the 50th floor and skipping 10 floors.
The special route area wasn't visible from the 60th to 70th floor.
But when he reached the 70th floor.
Twinkle, twinkle......
Adventurer's Eye activated, and a shortcut spot was visible on the ceiling.
"There's another special route area here."
-Oh... 50th floor, 70th floor... are they every 10 floors?
-But it doesn't seem like a huge difference from just running
-True lol running is also instantaneous
-Hey but for super top tiers like the Heavenly Demon, competing for seconds is important right?
-Special routes seem to have some meaning... going there might lead to hidden spaces
Actually, for Lee Ganghan currently.
The tower's difficulty was so easy that he ran seriously or.
Took the special route, there wasn't much difference.
But.
'I should go and see.'
As viewers said.
Taking shortcuts might lead to hidden spaces, right?
Thinking so, Lee Ganghan.
Boom, boom, boom!
After smashing the shortcut spot with Heaven-Breaking Meteor Palm.
Whoosh!
He entered it.
Then.
[You have discovered a special route.]
[You have discovered a special route 1 time.]
[You can leap from the 70th floor to the 90th floor at once.]
[Would you like to take the special route?]
Saying he had discovered it once.
A special route that let him skip 20 floors instead of 10.
'Is it because I discovered it once? 10 floors were added.'
Lee Ganghan thought so and entered the special route.
The 90th floor he reached this way.
'There's none here.'
When no special route was visible, Lee Ganghan proceeded with tower climbing as usual.
"Grr, grr......"
"Human......"
Before the monsters he encountered could finish speaking.
Bang! Bang!
Lee Ganghan, who burst through them and passed by.
After running for a while.
[You have reached the 100th floor of Tower of Infinity.]
He had reached the 100th floor before he knew it.
***
'I came faster than last time.'
He climbed quickly during Iron too.
But then he spent time smashing maze walls with Heavenly Demon Divine Sword.
This time, thanks to running recklessly without such things and discovering special routes, he could climb much faster.
-Already 100th floor?
-Came in under 10 minutes? Wow
-No, the chicken hasn't even arrived yet, Heavenly Demon....
-It took less than 10 seconds per floor but still ridiculously fast;
-The shortcuts helped quite a bit with time reduction
-True, he skipped 30 floors lol
10 minutes is 600 seconds.
No matter how strong the Heavenly Demon had become, breaking through 100 floors in 600 seconds wasn't easy.
If he hadn't leaped a total of 30 floors through special routes.
He probably would have barely exceeded 600 seconds.
'When you think about it that way, it seems quite helpful.'
When Lee Ganghan thought special routes had some value.
[You have reached the 100th floor of Tower of Infinity within 10 minutes.]
[Among all competing races, this is a top 0.01% record among tower participants.]
[2 additional rewards will be given after clearing.]
A system message appeared before his eyes.
Last time he arrived within 1 hour and was in the top 0.1%.
Now his record was better, and accordingly they were giving 2 rewards.
'Good.'
Lee Ganghan smiled.
Moreover,
[100th floor rewards are given.]
[This is the first reward given to humanity. One more reward is given.]
Like last time, the reward for reaching the 100th floor was also given as 1+1.
But last time they also gave one more saying it was first for humanity.
Why are they giving it again this time?
'Ah. Is it because this tower is a Bronze Tower?'
Last time was Iron Tower of Infinity.
This time is Bronze Tower of Infinity.
Since Lee Ganghan was first for humanity to reach the 100th floor in both, they seemed to give 1+1 rewards.
'Then I can keep receiving this every time I climb?'
That's totally great?
When Lee Ganghan was smiling with satisfaction.
Whirrrr......
From the center of the 100th floor.
Two giant star-shaped gems rose.
-Ooh! Tower cores!
-2 appeared like last time???
-Last time wasn't it 2 because it was first for humanity?
-Last time was Iron Tower and Bronze is also first for humanity
-Ah lol
-Then he'll hit first for humanity all the way to Silver Gold Platinum Diamond lol
-So sweet lol
Viewers cheered when the stars appeared.
Especially when 2 appeared.
Expectations rose that they could watch Lee Ganghan smash 2 towers every time he got promoted.
Of course.
[The cores activate their self-protection device.]
The tower cores tried to summon monsters to protect themselves.
'Let's end this with a quick battle.'
Swish.
Before all the monsters were summoned, Lee Ganghan opened his palm.
Heavenly Demon Divine Palm
Heaven-Breaking Meteor Palm
Whirrrr!
Red light extended from his palm.
And pierced the 2 stars directly.
Then.
Boom, boom, boom!
The stars exploded instantly.
-Why so fast lol
-It was fast during Iron but now he doesn't even give time to summon mobs lol
-Will Tower of Infinity become shorts now?
-Laser is so overpowered...
-He doesn't even use his sword these days lol
-Nothing beats that against small fries
Watching Lee Ganghan burst the cores in the blink of an eye.
When viewers were admiring.
Swoosh......
Among the fragments of the exploded stars, the largest fragment flew toward Lee Ganghan.
Then.
[You have absorbed a fragment of No.73 core.]
[You have absorbed a fragment of No.98 core.]
The core fragments of the 2 regular maps Lee Ganghan had entered from Bronze.
Were absorbed by him.
'Now I start from 2 again.'
If I collect 3 more, I can spin the roulette again.
When Lee Ganghan was thinking so.
[Notice: Player 'Lee Ganghan' has destroyed a tower core.]
[Notice: Player 'Lee Ganghan' has destroyed a tower core.]
A message went up to humanity as a notice.
Lee Ganghan had smashed 2 towers.
-OMG! He did it again?
-Strong Lee is really diligent. Players should learn from his sincerity :)
-Wow! How many towers has he destroyed so far? What are other players doing?
-Foreigners came running again lol
-But the simultaneous two destruction achievement isn't updated
-Originally in games, achievements are done once you clear them lol
Like during Iron, he destroyed 2 tower cores simultaneously.
But since he already cleared the 'Destroy 2 tower cores simultaneously' achievement.
No achievement completion message appeared.
'That's disappointing.'
Well, I should be grateful they're giving 2.
Lee Ganghan thought so and.
[Would you like to challenge the 101st floor?]
Looked at the system message that followed.
'Of course I have to go.'
This time 200 floors.
And beyond was the goal.
Swish.
When Lee Ganghan entered the portal to the next floor.
[From the 101st floor, you will randomly encounter competing races.]
Like last time, a message appeared that he could meet competing races.
'Last time I definitely met an Elf.'
The name was definitely Hild.
That Elf.
He encountered her twice in the promotion battle and arena.
'Hmm...... I probably won't meet her again this time?'
When Lee Ganghan thought so and entered the 101st floor.
[You encounter a competitor.]
[You encounter an 'Achievement Achiever' of a competing race.]
Ding.
Along with a message that he met a competitor.
Different from regular climbing.
The dedicated map that appears when encountering other races.
Marble-paved terrain appeared before his eyes.
