Chapter 50
Chapter 50.
'I've heard that players of different races occasionally appear in towers.'
As tiers rise.
Different races that appear when climbing towers.
When viewers got excited about being able to converse with elves when Mixed-blood Elf Karana appeared.
It was because there were cases of Diamond-grade players encountering elves while climbing towers.
'Certainly, the elves they met there were said to have taken an extremely hostile attitude toward humans.'
So although she makes orc-like cheek sounds.
Wasn't it because they were even more enthusiastic about Karana, who could communicate?
But these different races.
Could they be 'competing races'?
'If it's 0.1% among all those races combined, that would be quite a respectable record.'
Just as Lee Ganghan thought he did well to run quickly.
Tiring.
[100th floor reward will be given.]
[This is the first reward given to humanity. One additional reward will be given.]
So there's a separate 100th floor reward.
A message appeared saying it was the first time receiving it, so it was a 1+1 deal.
'I should receive this before going.'
He was going to proceed to the 100th floor immediately using Heavenly Demon Reign Step.
But if they're giving a reward, he should receive it.
As Lee Ganghan waited to receive the reward.
Giiiiing…….
From the center of the 100th floor.
Two enormous star-shaped gems floated up.
-Huh?
-Isn't this a tower core?
-Right? Two came out?
-Whoa, if we destroy this, will the tower disappear???
Then the chat window became chaotic.
That would be the case.
These stars looked exactly like the tower core that appeared when Lee Ganghan climbed to the 11th floor.
There was expectation that if they destroyed this, towers would disappear all at once like last time.
And.
[100th floor reward…… is it okay?]
When the tower core appeared.
The spirit's voice echoed from the sword.
Did he know the core would appear, so he urged to go to the 100th floor so quickly?
"That's right. Good reward."
Tower of Infinity rising in various places around the world.
Even if he destroyed two here, making two towers disappear from each country.
There were still many more towers that had risen.
'If I handle them one by one like this, they'll eventually be gone.'
Swoosh.
Lee Ganghan thought so and raised his sword.
Then.
[The core activates its self-protection device.]
Unlike last time.
The self-protection device activated even though he hadn't even touched the core yet.
With this message.
"Kiryuk kiryuk……!"
Lizardmen began to be summoned from all directions.
And then.
Wriggle, Wriggle…….
Slimes popped out from the surrounding floor.
They crawled toward where Lee Ganghan was.
-These mobs... seem like the ones I saw last time
-The Lizardmen seem like the ones from the No.16 map, and the slimes also seem like ones from towers Heavenly Demon played before?
-Does it pull from one of the towers Heavenly Demon played?
-Seems like it
-Fortunately, the maze map doesn't seem to break haha
As the viewers said.
The monsters summoned around seemed to come from towers Lee Ganghan had passed through in Iron so far.
'These are all from towers where I got S grades.'
Although it was regrettable that he cleared without getting SSS+.
These were two towers he would never enter again since he had now graduated from Iron.
'I don't have time to fight with these guys, so I need to destroy them in one blow.'
Swoosh.
Lee Ganghan raised his sword.
Heavenly Demon Divine Sword
One Sword Breaks Heaven
He directly pierced the star.
As soon as a flash flickered from the light sword.
Kwajik……!
The centers of the two stars floating in the air.
Were pierced simultaneously.
Then.
Paaaat……!
The two stars exploded cleanly before the monsters could even approach.
Last time, even after using Heavenly Demon Divine Art, he had to pound countless times with his fists.
'This time it's clean.'
Without using Heavenly Demon Divine Art, he smashed two stars with one sword.
He could definitely feel that he had become stronger.
As the stars disappeared.
"Uuuuu……."
The forms of the Lizardmen and slimes that were approaching soon became light and disappeared.
The monsters of the 'self-protection device' that were dealt with without being able to grab Lee Ganghan's ankle at all.
And among the fragments of the exploded stars.
The largest piece flew toward Lee Ganghan.
'Will it be absorbed like last time?'
As Lee Ganghan caught the two pieces in his hands.
[You have absorbed a fragment of the No.16 core.]
[You have absorbed a fragment of the No.33 core.]
The fragments of cores 16 and 33 were absorbed sequentially.
These fragments.
It's good that they're absorbed, but what are they used for?
When Lee Ganghan harbored such questions.
[You have absorbed 3 core fragments.]
[When you collect 5 core fragments, you can exchange them for a 'Celestial Coin'.]
['Celestial Coin' is used to spin the 'Evolution Roulette'.]
As if answering that question.
A message appeared at the right time.
'Coin?'
Destroying towers honestly isn't an easy task.
Collecting 5 fragments and ultimately exchanging them for coins to spin roulette?
Lee Ganghan was slightly deflated.
'Still, seeing that it's called Evolution Roulette…… well, it must be useful.'
There must be a reason why evolution is grandly attached.
Lee Ganghan thought so and decided to exchange the fragments for Celestial Coins later.
Meanwhile.
Tiring.
[Notice: Player 'Lee Ganghan' has destroyed a tower core.]
[Notice: Player 'Lee Ganghan' has destroyed a tower core.]
[Notice: Player 'Lee Ganghan' has achieved an A-grade achievement for the first time in humanity.]
[Achievement: Destroy 2 tower cores simultaneously.]
Like last time.
A 'Notice' that appeared to all humanity appeared.
As the message about destroying the core appeared twice in duplicate.
Even the content about clearing an achievement came out.
-WTF?
-What did he do again?
-Really amazing. He hasn't even been a player for a month :)
-Will he destroy 3 simultaneously next time?
-What's with the sudden translation tone? ㅋㅋㅋ
-Foreigners seem to be coming to the channel in surprise
-Ah, it's chaotic like when we reached a million last time;
Lee Ganghan's chat window.
Became so crowded with people flooding in that it was hard to make out the messages.
And.
[By clearing a difficulty A achievement, humanity's score acquisition amount increases by 20% for 6 months.]
[The score acquisition increase effect is already applied.]
[The period is extended by 6 months from the existing period.]
[All towers belonging to No.16 will be destroyed.]
[All towers belonging to No.33 will be destroyed.]
Subsequently.
When the 'reward' given to all humanity appeared.
-OMG :D
-Two towers are being destroyed...
-Strong Lee smashed three towers just this month
-What's Strong Lee?
-Foreign kids keep saying Strong Strong instead of Heavenly Demon ㅋㅋ
-Ah, because his real name is Lee Ganghan? ㅋㅋㅋ
-The 20% acquisition effect is almost a year now, amazing...
In the chat window, the proportion of foreign chats began to rise rapidly.
Such was the destructive power of the 'Notice'.
And simultaneously.
[…… sponsored 1,000TP.]
[Towers are being destroyed in real-time!]
[…… sponsored 2,422TP.]
[Finally, these eyesores are disappearing. Thank you! Thank you!]
Saying that towers were destroyed.
Sponsorship messages expressing gratitude began to appear competitively.
***
"Thank you for the sponsorship. I'd like to greet each one individually if I could……."
To respond to each one individually.
Sponsorship messages pouring in at an unmanageable rate.
Lee Ganghan saw this and smiled.
"Rather than that, me conquering higher floors would be the way to repay everyone's support."
-Higher floors?
-Are there floors above 100? ㄷㄷ
-Well, you'd have to go to know ㅋㅋ
"Yes. A system message appeared."
When he cleared the 100th floor.
Tiring.
[Would you like to challenge the 101st floor?]
A message that appeared before his eyes.
This clearly indicated that there were floors above 100.
[If it's higher floors…… the 200th floor reward is good too…… it's just hard to reach.]
"Then I should aim for the 200th floor."
And so, at the end of the 100th floor.
Lee Ganghan walked toward the portal leading to the next floor.
-Oh, 200th floor...
-If he goes to the 200th floor, can he destroy another tower?
-At this rate, will Heavenly Demon destroy all the towers???
-Then I'll seriously worship Heavenly Demon ㅋㅋㅋ
-Me too, I'll immediately bow my head and say Heavenly Demon Eternal, Ten Thousand Demons Prostrate ㅋㅋ
At Lee Ganghan's words about aiming for the 200th floor.
While everyone was getting excited asking if another tower would be destroyed.
Tiring.
[From the 101st floor onwards, you will randomly encounter competing races.]
To Lee Ganghan who entered the portal.
A message appeared that he might meet competitors.
'Meeting competing races?'
Then it won't be possible to climb smoothly like now.
Still.
He had saved Heavenly Demon Divine Art up to the 100th floor.
He should keep going.
With that determination, Lee Ganghan climbed toward the 101st floor.
-This is the 101st floor...
-But it doesn't look much different?
-Goblins appeared again?
-They look stronger than the 1st floor, but it's still one hit, right?
Then.
Like the monster pattern he met from the 1st floor.
Lee Ganghan encountered a goblin horde first.
Of course, these were goblins with better equipment and larger builds than the 1st floor.
'They're still goblins though.'
Swoosh!
As Lee Ganghan seriously unleashed Heavenly Demon Reign Step.
"Ki……."
"Kiiiik……!"
Most of them exploded easily.
As Lee Ganghan conquered the tower in a similar pattern to the 1st-100th floors.
-Well... this is the same too?
-The kids got a bit stronger, but they still get blown away by Heavenly Demon's charge ㅋㅋ
-Still, the map got longer so it's not a 10-second clear
-He might not reach 300 floors, but 200 floors seems totally doable?
-Please destroy the tower in front of my house...
At this speed, 200 floors would definitely be possible.
Many people hoped that towers near where they lived would be destroyed.
As Lee Ganghan progressed smoothly and arrived at the 160th floor.
[You encounter a competitor.]
[You encounter an 'Achievement Achiever' of a competing race.]
The 'competing race' mentioned in the warning message that appeared when entering the 101st floor.
He could finally meet them.
'Achievement Achiever…… It won't be a weak opponent.'
The achievements mentioned here.
Would mean grand ones enough to display 'notices' to the entire race.
Lee Ganghan prepared himself differently than before.
Step, Step…….
He slowly moved forward.
-This map is somehow different
-Isn't this the marble terrain that appears when encountering different races ㅋㅋ
-Oh, really?
-ㅇㅇ Right, I watched the male elf video 256 times so I know well
-Don't watch that kind of stuff ㅡㅡ
As the viewers said.
Different from the floors he had climbed before.
A splendid terrain environment with milky white marble spread out.
As Lee Ganghan moved forward.
There, with a long spear stuck in the ground.
He could see a blonde elf sitting and resting.
-Wow, incredibly beautiful ㄷㄷㄷ
-Crazy...
-But seeing the long ears, isn't that an elf?
-Seems like it? The ears are similar size to Karana's
-Better than Karana who's all bundled up...
-But it's female, right? Not male?
-It's an elf so who knows ㅋㅋ
With the characteristically long ears of elves.
An opponent with mysterious beauty transcending humans.
Just looking at the face, it seemed female.
But since they were a race famous for beautiful looks, he couldn't be sure.
"……Elf?"
As Lee Ganghan walked and said so.
"How dare an inferior race come here……."
Swoosh.
The elf who was sitting and resting.
Drew the spear while glaring at Lee Ganghan with a completely guarded face.
-Oh!!! The voice is female!!!
-ㄴㄴ It could be a male with a feminine voice
-Why do you keep trying to make them male ㅡㅡ Those guys definitely have thick features
-But this elf talks to us? Unlike other elves
-I didn't know being called an inferior race would feel this good...
Meanwhile, even though pointing a spear tip at Lee Ganghan.
Viewers were happy because the voice was female.
'These guys really lose their minds when it comes to elves.'
As Lee Ganghan saw the chat window reaction and smiled.
"Laughing?"
The elf holding the spear frowned.
Swoosh!
Suddenly thrust the spear at Lee Ganghan first.
'Hmm. The movement is quite fast…….'
A spear thrusting quite quickly.
The spear-wielding elf didn't seem that weak.
'But this level is easy.'
Swoosh.
Lee Ganghan lightly dodged the spear.
Pook!
He directly stabbed the light sword into the elf.
"Uuk……!"
Then.
The elf, pierced through the abdomen, coughed up blood.
-Killing an elf!
-How can you do that?!?!
-Heavenly Demon, this isn't right!!!
-Crazy bastards, she attacked first;;;
-ㄹㅇ It's self-defense ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Whether the viewers were making a fuss or not.
'Enemies must be dealt with properly.'
Lee Ganghan thrust the sword deep.
He eliminated the competitor.
Then.
"No way……."
The elf pierced by the sword widened her eyes.
She collapsed to the ground.
What? Did she die already?
"If this happens…… Valkyrie's shame……."
Even while collapsed.
The elf kept opening her mouth with difficulty.
'Valkyrie?'
As Lee Ganghan wondered about her words.
Tiring.
[You have eliminated Achievement Achiever 'Hild'.]
[You acquire 1 core fragment possessed by the achiever.]
Lee Ganghan was given one more tower core fragment.
