Chapter 19.
The method to upgrade Heavenly Demon Constitution.
There was quite a lot riding on this.
'Getting Heavenly Demon Divine Sword was also predicated on upgrading Heavenly Demon Constitution.'
[The minimum grade of the trait 'Heavenly Demon Constitution' has not reached D grade.]
[The skill 'Heavenly Demon Divine Sword' cannot be acquired.]
Lee Ganghan recalled when he conquered the tower yesterday.
Last time too, he seemed to subdue the Sword Spirit.
But he couldn't get Heavenly Demon Divine Sword because Heavenly Demon Constitution's grade was insufficient.
'Only when the minimum grade of Heavenly Demon Constitution rises to D, can I obtain Heavenly Demon Divine Sword.'
And only after getting Heavenly Demon Divine Sword would there be a possibility of subduing the Sword Spirit.
Then he could also aim for an SSS+ clear of Tower No-777.
'So, what are the conditions?'
When Lee Ganghan looked at the bottom of the note.
[Method to upgrade Heavenly Demon Constitution]
Settlement of 2 or more races in Ten Thousand Demon Battle.
There was a condition written briefly that was easier than expected.
'Settle 2 or more races...'
Currently, only one race, goblins, had settled in the Ten Thousand Demon Battle.
If he added just one more here, it would be a condition he could fulfill.
From Lee Ganghan's perspective, it wasn't that difficult a condition.
'Hmm. Then I'll have to postpone conquering Tower 777 until I settle one more race.'
First, he would conquer other towers while settling one more race in Ten Thousand Demon Battle.
After upgrading Heavenly Demon Constitution, he would conquer 777 again.
Lee Ganghan, who had made such a plan, looked at the piece of paper again.
"But how did this get here?"
Should I watch yesterday's recorded video once?
Lee Ganghan got up from bed and checked the video.
Then.
Paaaaat...!
A red portal appeared above himself sleeping peacefully.
The scene of being sucked into it was replayed.
And how much time had passed?
A portal opened in the air again.
Thud!
Lee Ganghan fell back onto the bed.
With a piece of paper clutched tightly in his hand.
'This is really, where am I being dragged to every time?'
Seeing that he went to that portal and obtained information about the Heavenly Demon Constitution.
It was definitely related to Heavenly Demon.
Lee Ganghan then fast-forwarded through the video of himself screaming afterward.
Realizing there was nothing special after that, he turned off the video.
"Will I be able to know if I develop my Heavenly Demon abilities more..."
Before awakening the Heavenly Demon Constitution, it just ended with sleeping.
Certainly, changes appeared after that.
Lee Ganghan decided to reach Heavenly Demon Constitution D grade first.
And finished preparing to enter the tower.
[Would you like to use the Iron Tower No-777 entrance ticket?]
The message that appeared first when trying to enter the tower.
Since he still had 2 entrance tickets left.
The system asked about usage priority.
When Lee Ganghan clicked 'No' here.
Tick.
[Tower of Infinity Stage 3.]
[Entering Iron Tower No.4.]
A message appeared saying he was entering Tower of Infinity Stage 3.
When he used the 777 entrance ticket, Tower of Infinity Stage 2 was maintained continuously.
But when he entered without using the entrance ticket, Tower of Infinity rose by 1 stage.
'I guess the tower stage doesn't rise in treasure vault maps.'
Lee Ganghan thought so while recalling the stages of Tower of Infinity.
Up to Stage 10 was the Iron realm.
To advance from Iron to Bronze grade, 2 conditions were needed.
Tower of Infinity Stage 10, Iron Tower clear.
And reaching Level 25.
After fulfilling both conditions, a player could finally rise to Bronze.
'Then I should use the 777 entrance ticket around Tower of Infinity Stage 8~9.'
Of course, if Heavenly Demon Constitution was upgraded before that.
He could enter 777 immediately.
When Lee Ganghan entered the tower thinking so.
-Oh, you're connected
-Still Heavenly Demon?
-What do you mean still lol
-Looking at you flying around yesterday, it wouldn't be strange if your ability was taken away lol
-What's today's tower number?
In the chat window, messages asking if Lee Ganghan survived today streamed up.
"Yes. I survived today too. The tower number is 4."
-4? Isn't 4 the Forest Path map?
-This will just be a massacre lol
-Was there any map you didn't massacre so far?
-That's true but this one's even easier lol
Tower No.4.
'Forest Path' was very simple.
[Entering the dense forest, 'Forest Path'.]
[Defeat the enemies blocking the path and ascend to the next floor!]
The only Forest Path in the forest.
Following this would lead to a portal.
Entering here would take you to the next floor.
Wild beasts like wolves would pop out at every turn on the path.
But at Iron level, it was an easy difficulty where you could defeat them moderately while proceeding.
"But what monsters appear in No.4?"
However, what was important to Lee Ganghan now was not the map's difficulty.
But the enemies that appeared here.
It would be best if monsters he could make bow and drag to Ten Thousand Demon Battle appeared.
-Wasn't it mainly wolves here?
-If you go up a bit, orcs will come out too
-Yeah, if you fight enemies too long in Forest Path, orcs and such will join the battle
-If it doesn't work out, just running away is important
'Oh... orcs appear?'
Orcs were pig-headed monsters.
Weren't they a race that spoke like goblins?
'I can catch them and make them bow.'
Lee Ganghan smiled wickedly.
It felt like things would go well today.
"Good. Let's go."
Lee Ganghan set 'orc subjugation' as today's goal.
And started from Floor 0.
***
Floor 1.
In front of Forest Path.
Five gray wolves flashed their eyes toward Lee Ganghan.
-Already 5 appeared on Floor 1
-Don't up to 5 randomly appear here? Bad luck from the start lol
Seeing the number of monsters blocking the path first.
Viewers thought Lee Ganghan was unlucky.
But.
Swoosh!
Lee Ganghan's figure briefly disappeared.
Craaack...!
When all five wolves' heads were smashed.
People realized again that he was Heavenly Demon.
-Who's unlucky?
-E-grade time-limited Heavenly Demon is crazy lol
-This tower really seems like it could be cleared in 5 minutes;
Map No.4 where you could clear by just following Forest Path and entering the portal.
If you were a strong person like Lee Ganghan who could smash enemies with one punch.
As viewers said, 5 minutes cut.
No, he could make an even faster record.
But Lee Ganghan's goal was orc subjugation.
'Getting a high evaluation by clearing quickly is good too, but meeting orcs is more important.'
He looked around.
The dense forest.
A place where ordinary players wouldn't dare to enter.
"What comes out if I go inside there?"
Lee Ganghan was a player far from ordinary.
-???
-Who knows???
-No one has tried going in...
-Can you even go in the first place? Isn't it blocked?
Since none of the viewers knew.
"Let's try going once."
Swoosh!
Lee Ganghan immediately jumped into the forest.
The forest became dark instantly.
Perhaps because the tall trees blocked the sun.
But Lee Ganghan didn't care and rampaged through the forest.
"Grrrrowl...!"
Several wild beasts jumped out seeing Lee Ganghan like this.
But.
Bang! Bang!
As their heads were smashed as soon as they appeared.
No more enemies appeared in the forest.
Instead, after advancing to some extent.
Hissss...
Dense golden fog spread thickly before his eyes.
-Fog appeared
-This seems to be the end of the map
-The forest isn't as wide as I thought
-This is an Iron map... What Iron player would think of entering the forest lol
Even in the tower's terrain implementation, there were limits.
Generally, golden fog areas indicated that a player had reached the end of the map.
'I can't go any further.'
Lee Ganghan looked at the golden fog blocked like a wall and clicked his tongue.
'Let's go up and search.'
He decided to go to higher floors to find orcs.
So from Floor 2 to Floor 4.
Lee Ganghan burst wolves while searching the forest.
'I can't see where they hide nor a hair of them.'
He couldn't find any trace of orcs at all.
But these were low floors so far.
They would appear if he went up.
Lee Ganghan climbed the tower with such hope.
"It's Floor 7, why aren't orcs appearing?"
Even though he had climbed to Floor 7.
Orcs were nowhere to be seen.
-Don't tell me searching the forest was because of orcs?
-Why are you looking for orcs? Shudder
-Just clear it quickly lol The evaluation grade will get lower at this rate
"I need to make orcs bow too."
The subjugation of different races was absolutely necessary for upgrading Heavenly Demon Constitution.
But all he saw in the Forest Path map were wolves.
'If wolves could talk, I would have made them do it, what a shame.'
The condition for being subordinated to Ten Thousand Demon Hall was bowing while saying the 'Heavenly Demon Eternal, Ten Thousand Demons Prostrate' line.
'At this rate, the clear time will be delayed.'
Lee Ganghan, who entered Floor 7, decided he needed to speed up.
"Heavenly Demon Divine Art."
To exert his full power, he activated Heavenly Demon Divine Art.
Huuup.
After taking a deep breath.
"Orcssss!!!"
Loud enough to echo throughout the entire forest.
He let out a great lion's roar.
-What are you crazy? lololol
-The sound is so loud lol
-Orcs would get scared and run away even if they were about to come out lol
Swoosh!
Then the ultra-high-speed Heavenly Demon Reign Step was unleashed in earnest.
Lee Ganghan searched the forest like that for a while.
At the end of the forest, where golden fog was thick.
"Oh!"
A race with pig-like heads and green skin.
He discovered a group of orcs.
"Kuruk, Kuruk..."
"Chiiik, Chik...!"
The number was about ten.
A group of orcs moving toward the golden fog as if being chased by something.
-They're really running away? lololol
-lolololol They're not scary
-If I heard such a scream from far away, I'd be scared too;
Whether it was because of Lee Ganghan's lion's roar or not, he wasn't sure.
But anyway, at this rate, the orcs would disappear into the fog.
'I can't let that happen.'
Swoosh!
Lee Ganghan stood in front of the orc group.
Then.
"Kuruluk!"
The orcs snorted and raised their weapons in unison.
Orcs that definitely looked bigger and stronger than goblins.
'They'll bow well too.'
Grin.
Lee Ganghan smiled broadly and threw his fist at a tree beside him.
Then.
Kwa-kwa-kwang!
A giant tree immediately shattered and fell to the ground.
"Chik...?"
The orcs' eyes trembled in unison upon seeing this.
What is this crazy monster?
As the weapon-wielding orcs hesitated and stood there.
Swoosh.
Lee Ganghan pointed at the ground with his finger.
"Hey guys, bow down."
"Kuruk?"
"While saying Heavenly Demon Eternal, Ten Thousand Demons Prostrate."
"Chik?"
"...You guys, is that all you can say?"
Kuruk, Chik.
Orcs that only made those sounds while blinking their eyes.
-These guys can't communicate?
-Can conversation work with kuruk and chik?
-The Goblin Chief spoke well though lol These guys have lower intelligence than goblins?
-That one was a boss mob lol
-Originally only named-level ones can communicate, right?
When the Goblin Chief was mentioned in the chat window.
'I should summon the chief.'
Lee Ganghan tried calling him just in case.
Goblins and orcs.
Both had green skin, so how could they not communicate?
"Heavenly Demon Eternal, Ten Thousand Demons Prostrate!"
A red portal opened.
The Goblin Chief that emerged from there immediately bowed.
Certainly a proper bowing posture befitting subordinate No.1.
"Do it like this."
When Lee Ganghan smiled with satisfaction and pointed at the chief.
The orcs just blinked their eyes.
This is really,It's frustrating since communication doesn't work.
"Chief, do you happen to know orc language?"
"I don't know orc language either, but..."
Swoosh.
The chief held a knife in his hand.
And licked it with his tongue.
"If you scrape their flesh one by one, they'll understand. Kihihihi!"
If he tortured them, one or two would become communicable?
But that would take a long time.
'If I torture them, I'll have to give up on SSS+ clear.'
SSS+?
Or orc subjugation?
When Lee Ganghan was briefly contemplating between the two choices.
'Hmm?'
Swoosh.
He felt presence from above the tree.
Clang, Clang...!
The sound of bells came from there.
"Grrrrrr...!"
Then the orc group's eyes turned blood red.
Those who had been cowering before Lee Ganghan.
Changed their attitude 180 degrees and fiercely charged.
'What, suddenly?'
Orcs that changed upon hearing the bell sound.
Their movement itself was quite fast.
But no matter what, they couldn't match Lee Ganghan who had activated Heavenly Demon Divine Art.
Thud!
When he lightly swung his hand, the orcs' weapons flew away.
After throwing a few punches like that.
The orc group was instantly neutralized.
However,
Clang, Clang...!
When the bell sound came from above the tree again.
"Kuruk, Kuruluk...!"
The orcs' bodies swelled blood red.
Puff-puff-pang!
They all exploded like bombs in unison.
"No...! My orcs!!!"
Lee Ganghan, who had dodged outside the explosion radius, let out a lament.
-Why is he so heartbroken lololol
-He couldn't make them bow lol
-But is there a need to make orcs into minions? He even summoned the Goblin Chief here lol
-True, when Heavenly Demon sweeps everything alone, I wonder if minions are really necessary
Viewers heard Lee Ganghan's cry and commented whether there was really a need to subjugate them.
Even summoning the Goblin Chief was just to interpret orc language.
He didn't use them in combat.
But for Lee Ganghan, orcs were absolutely necessary for upgrading Heavenly Demon Constitution.
"I'll avenge the orcs!"
-??? Why would you?
-No, the reason they died was ultimately because of you...
-Who was the one who caught them while they were desperately fleeing?
Regardless of what viewers said.
Lee Ganghan.
Swoosh!
Jumped up the tree to avenge the orcs.
Then.
"Chik...?!"
A silhouette in a green robe came into view.
Although it made chik sounds like orcs.
White skin and long ears.
Upon seeing the dazzling facial features.
A race immediately came to mind.
"...Elf?"
