Chapter 82.
[King of the Dead's Helmet, Quiene (Sealed)]
Grade: SSS
The helmet of Hades, King of the Underworld.
When wearing the helmet, the user can equip the 'King of the Dead's Robe' that protects the user.
The King of the Dead's Robe possesses powerful defensive capabilities, and its defense becomes stronger in proportion to the user's stamina.
Additionally, the King of the Dead's Robe blocks instant death damage [1 time] per game and greatly reduces damage related to the 'Darkness' attribute.
The King of the Dead's Robe and armor cannot be equipped simultaneously.
Quiene is in a sealed state.
Since Hades' seal has not been released, instant death damage defense is limited to [1 time].
The 'Invisibility' function and 'Cerberus Summoning' function cannot be used.
Quiene is bound to player 'Lee Ganghan' and cannot be used by other players.
'SSS-grade item......!'
The item description seemed long for a reason.
It was because the grade was SSS.
But looking at the description in detail.
'In the end, the only thing I can use right now is the King of the Dead's Robe.'
King of the Dead's Robe.
It could be considered a powerful armor that blocks instant death damage once per game.
With this level of functionality, it seems a bit lacking to be called SSS-grade.
Unless I could use Cerberus Summoning or invisibility as well.
'In the end, I need to remove that seal to call it a true SSS-grade item.'
Still, well.
I can't keep entering towers without proper equipment forever.
I happened to lack armor-type equipment, so this worked out well.
'But what does the King of the Dead's Robe look like?'
Judging from the name being the King of the Dead's garment.
Is it similar to what Hades wears?
As Lee Ganghan wondered about the King of the Dead's Robe.
Ding.
[Would you like to equip the King of the Dead's Robe?]
Just then, a message appeared asking if he wanted to try on the King of the Dead's Robe.
When Lee Ganghan clicked yes.
Swish, swish, swish......
His body was briefly dyed in darkness.
-Huh? Your fashion suddenly changed ㄷㄷ
-What's with the suit?
-All black with even a tie, completely funeral attire ㅋㅋ
-Even the shoes changed to black dress shoes ㄷㄷ
His outfit changed to a perfectly fitting black suit.
As the viewers said, completely funeral attire.
'This is the King of the Dead's Robe?'
As Lee Ganghan wondered about his changed outfit.
[The King of the Dead's Robe changes its appearance according to the funeral culture of the society the player belongs to.]
A message appeared to resolve his question.
'It adapts to Korean society's funeral attire.'
This is better than suddenly wearing Greek-style clothing.
However,
'Does this outfit... really have defensive capabilities?'
A suit that fits his body perfectly like a custom-made formal wear.
Can this outfit truly show defensive capabilities worthy of SSS-grade?
Just looking at its appearance made him somewhat skeptical.
'I'll test it later.'
Lee Ganghan thought so and touched his face.
The black helmet that had naturally gone onto his head.
It suddenly became invisible and disappeared from sight.
But he could still feel the sensation of wearing the helmet on his head.
'Did this helmet become invisible?'
They said the invisibility function couldn't be used.
But the helmet itself seems possible.
If the helmet had revealed itself, he would have looked ridiculous wearing a helmet with a black suit.
He was pleased that it became invisible on its own.
But.
"I'm grateful for the helmet reward, but won't you give me tower cores?"
I'm thankful for the SSS-grade item.
But shouldn't you also give me tower core rewards?
The fox even took 2 from the 2nd stage.
As Lee Ganghan expressed his doubt.
Rumble, rumble, rumble......
The surrounding ground twisted.
Four towers rose around Lee Ganghan.
They looked identical to regular towers created on Earth.
But they were half the size, like miniatures.
-Ooh
-Are the towers going to break?
-4 towers for the 4th stage?
-Use them more! Aw!
-The fox seems to have gotten honey ㅋㅋㅋ
-But it looks like Heavenly Demon got a helmet too...
As viewers watched the miniature towers with such expectations.
Crack, crack, crack......!
The four towers all cracked simultaneously.
Pop, pop!
[The tower cores have exploded.]
[You have absorbed 4 tower core fragments.]
Four tower core fragments were absorbed simultaneously.
Then.
[Notice: Player 'Lee Ganghan' has destroyed tower cores.]
[Notice: Player 'Lee Ganghan' has achieved an S-grade achievement for the first time in humanity.]
[Achievement: Destroy 4 tower cores simultaneously.]
A message appeared to all humanity.
'Up to 2 was an A-grade achievement, but destroying 4 simultaneously is an S-grade achievement.'
Well, a situation where you destroy 4 simultaneously.
That doesn't happen very often.
[By clearing an S-difficulty achievement, humanity's Tower of Light charging standard is relaxed.]
[The Tower of Light facing destruction stops operating for 1 month.]
['Tower of Light Operation Stop' is already in effect.]
[The period is extended by 1 month from the existing time.]
As the S-grade achievement reward content also appeared in the notice.
The chat started moving faster.
-Wow, achieved another S-grade achievement...?
-Tower of Light stopped for 2 months ㄷㄷㄷ
-So 4 towers are getting destroyed this time???
-They're already being destroyed ㅋㅋㅋ The tower next to my house broke
-How many is he destroying by himself this month ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Heavenly Demon Eternal, Ten Thousand Demons Prostrate!!!
-Don't just do it with the keyboard, do it for real...
-I already did it, okay? ㅡㅡ
Lee Ganghan was the first to show that towers could be destroyed.
In the promotion battle, he destroyed 2 simultaneously.
This time, he destroyed 4 towers.
Having destroyed a total of 7 towers in less than a month since awakening, people showed enthusiastic support for him.
[...... sponsored 10,000 TP.]
[The tower in front of our house finally broke ㅠㅠㅠ I was right to trust and watch only Heavenly Demon ㅠㅠ House prices, rise again!!!]
[...... sponsored 8,271 TP.]
[2-month stop is honey ㄷㄷ Keep it stopped like this okay]
More sponsorships than usual.
[...... worshipped Heavenly Demon.]
[...... worshipped Heavenly Demon.]
Even though he didn't specifically tell them to do 'Heavenly Demon Eternal, Ten Thousand Demons Prostrate'.
There seemed to be people actually bowing, as worship messages kept appearing.
"Thank you. This time the rewards were good compared to the difficulty."
Lee Ganghan spoke quietly while looking at the sponsorship and worship messages.
Today he didn't even engage in any battles.
He just cleared the 11th floor route and somehow ended up obtaining Hades' helmet.
-Today's cooperative mission looked easier than other times but the rewards are insane ㅋㅋㅋ
-Gives items and destroys towers too ㄷㄷ
-But it's because he's Heavenly Demon, the conditions weren't impossible difficulty to clear
-Really how do you achieve stamina 20 ㅋㅋㅋ
-Heavenly Demon does it...
But definitely.
The conditions themselves were quite demanding.
The hurdle of 'Stamina 15' to reach the 11th floor from the start.
Was a condition most people couldn't achieve.
Even after this strategy is publicly revealed.
There would be hardly anyone who could clear the 11th floor this way.
'But doesn't the cooperative map disappear?'
Garden of Death that was No.14.
However, among the 4 towers that broke earlier, No.14 was nowhere to be found.
If it were a regular tower, it would have been destroyed.
'Is it because it's a cooperative-exclusive map?'
Then can I destroy 4 more with the same strategy next time?
That would be completely sweet, he thought.
[Cooperative 'Garden of Death' 11th floor final stage reward, 'Quiene' is bound to player Lee Ganghan.]
[Player 'Lee Ganghan' will no longer be matched to cooperative 'Garden of Death'.]
As if reading Lee Ganghan's mind.
A message appeared saying he would no longer be matched to the 'Garden of Death' map.
"Aw. That's disappointing."
The chance to get easy rewards disappeared.
As Lee Ganghan clicked his tongue.
Ding.
[You have cleared Bronze Tower No.14.]
[Calculating Bronze Tower No.14 performance......]
Along with the tower clear message.
The chat window disappeared and performance calculation appeared.
***
[You resisted the Thorn Flower's poison.]
[You discovered the 11th floor.]
[You cleared the final stage of the Domain of Death.]
[You received 'Quiene's' recognition.]
[Clear Evaluation – EX]
Following the promotion battle and competitive battle.
EX in the cooperative battle too.
Somehow in regular towers SSS+ is the highest.
In these special type towers, you can receive up to EX.
[Opening clear rewards.]
[Level increases by 10.]
[Level has reached the current grade limit. Additional experience will be accumulated as the player's personal 'Score'.]
[You gain 2,000,000 TP.]
The clear rewards that followed.
Since his level had already reached the Bronze limit of 50, it was converted to score.
2 million TP was a much larger reward than usual.
'Maybe because what I got earlier was so big, this doesn't feel impressive.'
Having already finished creating the Heavenly Demon Divine Sect with the TP he collected.
His desire for money had decreased compared to before.
"Actually, I was planning to just finish one light game and come back......"
Swoosh.
Lee Ganghan, who had returned home after clearing the mission.
Looked at the firearms neatly arranged in one corner of the living room and smiled bitterly.
During the day, he received a commendation from the association.
In the evening, he had dinner with the president, and when he returned home, a Chinese intelligence organization attacked him.
He also established the Heavenly Demon Divine Sect and went to the tower to clear an S-grade achievement......
'It was the longest day of my life.'
Even for Lee Ganghan with 17 stamina.
It was a day that couldn't help but feel tiring.
'Let me wash up and sleep.'
After leaving the firearms as they were and finishing the day.
The next day.
He called Shin Yuri.
"Yuri."
[Heavenly Demon!!! Yesterday was really amazing! How do you have dinner with the president and then go achieve such a great accomplishment right away......! I was really surprised. You could have rested for at least a day.]
"I have to do one tower per day. But there's a bit of a problem."
[A problem?]
"Yes. Yesterday a Chinese intelligence organization attacked me."
Lee Ganghan continued speaking in a calm tone.
[Yes, what?! An attack???]
"Yes. 21 people were waiting with tranquilizer guns."
[No way......! Are you, are you okay?]
"I'm fine. But those people were hurt quite badly. So I locked them up in Ten Thousand Demon Battle."
When he smashed their heads at home, they were in a dead state.
But since they lived after going to Ten Thousand Demon Battle, there's no need to say he killed them, right?
As Lee Ganghan only said they were 'hurt quite badly'.
[Eh, what? Ten Thousand Demon Battle......?]
"The place where my summons stay."
[Co, could people enter there too?]
"Ah. Originally it wasn't possible, but since I established the Heavenly Demon Divine Sect yesterday, it seems possible thanks to that."
[Ah......]
What.
If you establish the Heavenly Demon Divine Sect, people can go there too?
Shin Yuri was flustered by the sudden pouring of information.
[I, I'll come see you right away! I'll contact the presidential office, National Intelligence Service, and the association! I'll also inform FIPA about this unfair attack!]
"No, you don't need to go that far...... It's not that big a deal."
[What do you mean, it's a huge deal!!! No matter what, pointing firearms at Heavenly Demon......! A player who destroyed 7 towers!]
She hung up saying she would immediately contact everyone in all directions.
'Hmm. Is this going to become a big issue?'
Well, still.
To prevent this kind of thing from happening again, it would be better to make it a big issue once.
'These guys are doing well.'
As Lee Ganghan opened Ten Thousand Demon Battle to check if the 21 people were living well.
"No, what did you say......? Player Lee Ganghan was attacked yesterday?!"
President Kim Seokho was listening to an emergency report with a serious face.
