Chapter 80
Chapter 80.
-Ruyi?
-Don't tell me it's the Ruyi Staff ㄷㄷ
-Silver Fox is even summoning the Ruyi Staff, isn't that completely overpowered?
-ㄹㅇ Acting as a proxy should have some limits ㅋㅋㅋ
When thinking of Sun Wukong, what comes to mind is the Ruyi Staff and the Somersault Cloud.
Just as the viewers heard 'Ruyi' and immediately thought of the Ruyi Staff.
Swish.
What was summoned on Sun Wukong's index finger was.
A small metal rod the size of chopsticks.
'So that's the Ruyi Staff......'
When Lee Ganghan focused on this.
Tuk.
Sun Wukong, who had the Ruyi between his index and middle fingers.
Pointed the end of the rod forward.
"Grow."
Then.
Swooosh!
The Ruyi Staff swelled up in the blink of an eye.
The massive iron rod soon blocked his view.
Kwajik, Kwajik!
The continuous sound of something being crushed could be heard from the front.
'The inside of his fingers is still the size of chopsticks...... but he completely filled the front half with the Ruyi Staff.'
Sun Wukong swept the front clean with the Ruyi that completely occupied the space.
"Come back."
When he spoke to the Ruyi like that.
Swish, swish, swish......
The Ruyi Staff returned to its original size.
And the front that opened up again was.
Cleanly organized with even the poisonous fog completely cleared.
-Wow, everything got swept away;
-Can't see a single carnivorous plant...
-Forget about tenacious regeneration and whatnot, just crush everything and it's over
-Didn't give them any chance to escape since the Ruyi Staff filled everything up;
-This is... Silver...?
When the viewers expressed surprise at seeing the power of the Ruyi Staff.
"Then, I'll leave the rest to you, human."
Swish, swish, swish......
Blue heat haze flowed from Sun Wukong's body.
That form returned to the fox appearance from before.
"Hek, hek......"
Red Eyebrow, who had returned to his original form, breathed heavily.
Then thud, he sat down on the ground.
It seems the descent of Sun Wukong was definitely burdensome.
Meanwhile, the fox looked toward Lee Ganghan.
"Th-Heavenly Demon Lord."
"Yes?"
"You...... won't kill me, right? You'll keep your promise, right?"
He reminded him once again of the promise made with Sun Wukong.
-He's also quite suspicious ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Well, looking at it, there doesn't seem to be any system binding force to the promise?
-Seeing how he keeps asking to be spared, don't you want to kill him? ^^
-Monopolize the rewards ㄱㄱ?
-Ah, but still, you should keep your word
Looking at the fox who kept asking to be spared.
There were some opinions suggesting killing him once might be good.
"I should keep my word."
Lee Ganghan had no intention of killing Red Eyebrow.
"Sniff, sniff. Thank you. As befitting a Record Breaker, you know honor!"
"I never even had the thought of killing a team member in the first place."
"Is that so? In our education curriculum, they taught us to do this in cooperative battles, but I guess humans don't do that?"
"You were educated to betray?"
"Rather than betrayal, it's more like...... finding a more efficient method!"
Backstabbing when special rewards appear was their basic strategy.
So that's why he kept asking if the promise would be kept.
"I'll keep what I promised, so don't worry and let's go."
"Sniff. Yes. Understood!"
Swish.
At Lee Ganghan's confirmation, the fallen fox immediately got up.
Seeing how lively he became, maybe collapsing from exhaustion after the descent ended was fake.
When Lee Ganghan chuckled and walked forward.
Red Eyebrow quickly followed behind him.
"But Heavenly Demon Lord, you said you're a Record Breaker, what record did you break?"
"Wasn't that something you knew?"
"I only learned that because the Great Sage Equal to Heaven mentioned it during his descent~ What would someone like me, a mere Silver, know!"
The mention of Record Breaker was.
Because he remembered everything Sun Wukong said during his descent.
"Well, I broke some decent records."
"If they were just decent records, you wouldn't be a Record Breaker! Even though you're human, your stamina exceeds 15, and you're breaking records too......"
Red Eyebrow, who was looking at Lee Ganghan with envious eyes.
"When I think about this, the Tower system is really unfair, isn't it?"
He grumbled that the current system was unfair.
"But didn't you also summon Sun Wukong? That wouldn't be power allowed to a Silver."
Lee Ganghan pointed to the garden with his finger.
The path completely pioneered by the Ruyi Staff.
All those carnivorous plants were torn apart beyond recognition.
Isn't it nonsense for a player who made such an attack to talk about unfairness?
But.
"Sniff, sniff. I'm different~ I summoned the Great Sage Equal to Heaven by paying an enormous price!"
Red Eyebrow waved his hands as if he was truly wronged.
"What's the price?"
"If the special reward is poor, I'll turn back into an eyebrow!"
-Eyebrow?
-Since his name is Red Eyebrow, did it mean red eyebrow ㄷㄷ
-I never knew the secret of the fox's birth was an eyebrow;
When the viewers grasped the meaning of his name from Red Eyebrow's words.
"Was the name Red Eyebrow related to eyebrows?"
"Yes! I was born from the Great Sage Equal to Heaven's red eyebrow!"
The fox also readily talked about the secret of his birth.
'Born from Sun Wukong's eyebrow?'
I think there was a technique in Sun Wukong's magic where he plucked hair to create clones.
So Red Eyebrow was born in a similar way?
"Then you're saying you're Sun Wukong's clone?"
"Uh...... I wonder. I was just born from a fallen eyebrow, how could I be that person's clone?"
"......Is that how it works?"
"Yes! If I were a clone, I should have a monkey form! I'm just a fox. Foxes are just commoners in our world."
"Then monkeys are?"
"Nobles!"
Red Eyebrow looked at Lee Ganghan with wistful eyes.
"Humans are lucky because they resemble monkeys......"
-Wow ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Heavenly Demon is hearing that he resembles a monkey
-Those guys envy resembling monkeys ㅋㅋㅋ
-I resemble a monkey much more than Heavenly Demon, can I become a noble if I go there?
-I'd probably be royalty ㅇㅇ
Huh.
Lee Ganghan let out a hollow laugh seeing Red Eyebrow's reaction.
He had never heard anyone say he resembled a monkey in his life.
But.
'This fox was strangely friendly from the very beginning, could it be because I resemble a monkey?'
Just as the mystery of why Red Eyebrow showed such strange favor was being solved.
[The master of the garden awaits you.]
['Domain of Death' unfolds.]
In front of the two who had been walking through the 11th floor.
A new system message appeared.
'Domain of Death?'
I thought the main concept of this tower was 'poison'.
But 'death' seems to be mentioned more often.
When Lee Ganghan stopped walking for a moment.
Swish, swish, swish, swish......
Black smoke gathered together, rising like a wall.
And soon in front of it.
[9]
The number 9, made of pure white light, appeared.
***
-9? Some number appeared
-I thought it would end after riding the Sun Wukong bus, but they're not ending it right away
-Since it's a cooperative battle, it seems harder to clear than regular towers?
If it had been a regular tower.
The mission would have ended when they swept away the carnivorous plants earlier.
Since it's a cooperative battle, there seems to be one more stage.
"9...... I wonder what it means?"
"Hmm. Let's get closer first."
"Yes!"
When the two approached the wall made of smoke.
[You have qualified.]
[You pass the 1st stage test.]
Before doing anything.
Swish, swish, swish......
The black smoke scattered and the wall disappeared.
"Sniff, sniff? Heavenly Demon Lord, did you just do something?"
"No. I just approached."
"Hmm...... What could it be? Getting pricked by thorns? Or the plant kill count?"
While Red Eyebrow furrowed his brow and made his own deductions.
Swish, swish, swish......
Beyond the disappeared black wall.
Thick fog newly rose up.
'This is the poisonous gas that's been appearing annoyingly.'
Following the 9th floor.
The purple poisonous fog that rose when first entering the 11th floor.
But this time, the poisonous fog wasn't spreading around but was gathered like a wall.
And soon above it.
[Immunity]
......these letters appeared.
"I think I know this one! Doesn't it mean you need the immunity gained from the 9th floor?"
"Let's go."
Step, Step.
Before the two could take a few more steps forward.
[You have qualified.]
[You pass the 2nd stage test.]
Whether the fox's deduction was correct.
The purple wall disappeared saying they had qualified.
"Sniff. Easy~"
The fox shrugged his shoulders with an excited face.
-ㅋㅋㅋ See the fox's tail wagging?
-Totally cute ㅋㅋㅋ
-Does the fox count as gaining immunity when Sun Wukong descended and passed?
-With that face longing for monkeys ㅠㅠ If he streams on BattleTube there, 10 million subscribers guaranteed
-I'd be a noble if I was born there...
-This is why where you're born matters too ㅋㅋㅋ
When the viewers showed cute reactions watching the excited fox.
Before long.
Swish, swish, swish......
This time, a wall made of pure white smoke appeared.
[15]
"Another number? It increased by 6 from before."
The two still couldn't figure out the identity of the numbers.
But staying still wouldn't give them the answer either.
Thud, Thud.
The two walked toward the smoke.
But unlike before.
[You have qualified.]
[You pass the 3rd stage test.]
Swish.
While Lee Ganghan qualified and passed through the wall.
"Huh, huh?"
Ting!
The fox couldn't pass through the white fog and bounced back.
"Wh-what...... Why was I blocked?"
"It doesn't work? I was told I qualified."
"Wh-what......? What's the difference between 9 and 15......?"
The current situation where Lee Ganghan works but the fox beastman doesn't.
The fox held his head in thought.
"Ah! Could it be...... stamina?!"
He made one deduction.
"Stamina?"
"Yes! The poison earlier was also poison that you resist with stamina stats."
"Hmm. That sounds plausible."
The thorn poison on the 9th floor was also poison that you overcome with pure stamina.
The standard Sun Wukong mentioned then was stamina 15.
The wall and number here are the same.
'But if you're going to gain immunity anyway, you need stamina 15...... but in the 3rd stage, they're using this as a condition again.'
Like Red Eyebrow did.
Maybe it's to block players who gained immunity through tricks rather than pure stamina.
Lee Ganghan tilted his head.
"Your stamina isn't 15, is it?"
"No...... if it was, I wouldn't have asked the Great Sage Equal to Heaven for help earlier."
"Can't be helped. Then I'll go first."
When Lee Ganghan waved from beyond the wall to Red Eyebrow.
The fox also waved back with a dejected face.
Then.
['Team Member 2' cannot pass the 3rd stage of the Domain of Death.]
['Team Member 2' settles the 2nd stage reward.]
[2 tower cores of the world 'Team Member 2' belongs to will be randomly destroyed.]
As Red Eyebrow's challenge ended at the 2nd stage.
A message appeared saying 2 tower cores would be destroyed.
'What. The reward is insane?'
While the difficulty of cooperative battles compared to regular towers was noticeable.
Still, I didn't expect them to destroy 2 tower cores even though he only stopped at the 2nd stage.
When Lee Ganghan widened his eyes seeing the message.
"Wow!!! Heavenly Demon Lord! Did you see? 2 tower cores......! I don't think I'll turn back into an eyebrow!"
Gone was the gloomy expression from before.
Red Eyebrow beyond the wall was jumping up and down excitedly.
Then.
Flash!
Soon the fox beastman disappeared as light.
-He's gone...
-What a shame
-But what's with 2 tower cores?
-He only cleared 2 stages but 2 tower cores? Don't tell me 2 towers are destroyed???
The viewers expressed regret seeing the fox disappear.
Then focused on what he said last.
"It says 2 tower cores of the world the team member belongs to will be randomly destroyed."
-Hul ㄷㄷㄷ
-Then Heavenly Demon Lord gets 3 since it's 3rd stage?
-Let's quickly go further, Heavenly Demon Lord
-ㄹㅇ This must be cleared ㅋㅋㅋ
The viewers couldn't hide their excitement at Lee Ganghan's words.
Lee Ganghan had been destroying towers for a while, then stagnated for a few days.
Now that there was another chance for several to explode, their eyes were flipping.
'Should I go?'
Whoosh, Whoosh.
Lee Ganghan, now alone.
Used Heavenly Demon Reign Step to advance steadily.
But the walls that appeared after just a few steps before.
Now, even though he was using lightness skills to quickly go inside, they didn't appear right away.
After advancing like that for a while.
-Huh?
-There's something over there!
-Oh, there's a number floating too!
The viewers were more excited than Lee Ganghan.
I discovered something with eagle eyes.
'That's...... a helmet?'
Large enough for Lee Ganghan's entire body to fit into.
A huge black helmet.
Above it.
[20]
......these letters were floating.
