Chapter 88
Chapter 88.
-Are all the Chinese kids flocking here?
-They're spamming like crazy haha
-America supports Strong Lee!
-Heavenly Demon, reveal the truth!
-China has never attempted kidnapping!
The chat window was sharply divided into two sides.
Fighting over whether the kidnapping attempt was real or not.
It was almost impossible to check the chat messages.
'I guess it's better not to look at the chat today.'
No, even if I wanted to look, the chat was moving too fast to see.
Lee Ganghan smiled bitterly.
"I don't know how President Alfred obtained the information, but the kidnapping attempt is true."
He first acknowledged that the kidnapping attempt was indeed true.
-That's a lie!
-Heavenly Demon, show us the evidence!
-How can he show evidence here sigh
-For real haha They're saying that when they obviously know it's impossible
Then Chinese viewers who couldn't accept it and immediately demanded evidence.
Of course, they were saying that thinking he couldn't produce evidence here.
Lee Ganghan was about to ignore those words.
'But can I summon the Lowest Grade Disciples in the tower?'
Suddenly curious, he opened Ten Thousand Demon Battle and pressed Lowest Grade Disciple #1.
Then.
[Target is not a Player.]
[Target has not fully settled in Ten Thousand Demon Battle.]
[When summoning the target, they will be bound to the tower and cannot return to Ten Thousand Demon Battle.]
Lowest Grade Disciple #1.
Summoning was possible, but then they'd be bound to this tower.
'I can't do that.'
I can't summon them as a witness just because of that noisy chat.
If they get bound to the tower, that wouldn't be right.
"Too many chats are coming up due to external issues today, so I'll just ignore them and proceed."
Lee Ganghan decided to just ignore the chat.
'I didn't even see where I entered the tower.'
Only now did he check the tower number.
[Tower of Infinity Stage 18]
[Entering Bronze Tower No.37.]
'No.37 is a map I've cleared before.'
No.37 was one of the maps he encountered when collecting TP to create the Heavenly Demon Divine Sect.
[Entering the 'Prison' that confines various life forms.]
[Defeat the Orc Guards and various monsters, and ascend to the next floor!]
It was a map where Orc Guards and various monsters trapped in prison appeared as enemies.
A dim prison where almost no light entered.
Only the lanterns held by the Orc Guards provided light.
They slowly patrolled and monitored the inside of the prison.
'The standard strategy was to ambush the Orc Guards in the darkness.'
Prison doors that were normally closed.
When an Orc Guard discovered the player and started blowing a whistle.
From then on, prison doors on both sides of the passage would open.
Monsters would jump out and attack the player in coordination.
Therefore, to clear this map easily, one had to be careful not to be caught by the Orc Guards and launch surprise attacks.
'But that's the general strategy.'
To get SSS+.
He had to go in a completely different direction.
Whirrrr…!
Lee Ganghan ascended from floor 0 to floor 1 of the tower.
The actual starting point of the prison map.
In the space thickly covered with darkness, only the lantern light held by the distant Orc Guard was visible.
Normally, the standard approach would be to secretly approach the Orc Guard, who had dull senses, and launch a surprise attack.
But.
"Hey Orc! I'm here!"
Lee Ganghan waved his hand as if happy to see the Orc Guard.
Then.
"Hmm...?"
Swoosh.
While turning his body.
The Orc Guard slowly walked toward where the sound came from.
"I said I'm here!"
Even though Lee Ganghan shouted openly.
The Orc Guard walked slowly with a dazed expression.
-Why is the guard's hearing like that haha He shouted so loud but can't hear it
-Seems like they intentionally nerfed the senses so player ambushes work haha
-Heavenly Demon, apologize!!!
-Ah, just shut up now, he started climbing the tower sigh
When tower-related chats gradually started appearing in the chat window.
Whoosh!
Lee Ganghan approached right in front of the Orc Guard.
"Hey, I'm here."
"Screech...?! In, intruder!"
Then the Orc Guard slowly took something out from his chest.
What he pulled out was a crudely shaped whistle.
"Ah...!"
The Orc Guard even dropped the whistle while trying to blow it.
"What are you doing, not picking it up."
"...?"
Lee Ganghan crossed his arms.
He quietly watched the Orc Guard pick up the whistle.
-He keeps giving openings haha
-Really dropped the whistle like in a picture
-It wouldn't be easy to beg to be hit like this... man...
-It's only the 1st floor, he shouldn't be caught already haha Bronze 1st floor should be easy
-Lee Ganghan, stop the outrageous slander!!!
-Ugh, they're still doing that sigh
There were gaps to attack several times.
But Lee Ganghan persistently waited for the orc.
"In, intruder!!!"
The Orc Guard finally shouted loudly.
Shreeeeek!
He blew the whistle loudly.
Then.
[You have been discovered by the Orc Guard.]
[1st floor prison doors are opening.]
Grrrrrr...!
With that message, all prison doors opened at once.
From the prisons hidden in darkness.
"Grrr..."
Various types of monsters jumped out in emaciated forms.
They seemed to be in poor nutritional condition, so their movements weren't fast, but there were quite a few monsters.
They all rushed at Lee Ganghan at once.
'This much is nothing.'
Bang! Bang!
When Lee Ganghan lightly threw punches.
They burst like balloons.
"Scre, screech...?!"
Seeing Lee Ganghan overwhelming the monster horde.
The Orc Guard quickly turned around and tried to run away.
"Where are you going?"
Thud!
Lee Ganghan stepped on his back and knocked him to the ground.
Then he opened Ten Thousand Demon Battle and summoned Karana.
"Screech. Heavenly Demon, did you call?"
Karana entered through the red portal.
"Oh, this is... a prison!"
She looked around and her eyes sparkled.
***
A prison with Orc Guards densely placed up to the 10th floor.
This was one of the good maps for Karana to get an orc supply.
"Hey, can you make him bow?"
"Got it!"
When Lee Ganghan moved his foot away.
Karana approached the Orc Guard.
Clang, clang...
She took out a bell and rang it.
"Submit! Bow to this one and shout 'Heavenly Demon Eternal, Ten Thousand Demons Prostrate'!"
When she commanded the Orc Guard.
"Heavenly Demon Eternal... Ten Thousand Demons Prostrate..."
The Orc Guard's skin turned red.
He slowly started bowing.
-The orc kidnapping duo is starting again haha
-It's amazing he's never summoned the orcs he took like that even once
-For real haha What exactly happens when you're dragged to Ten Thousand Demon Battle???
-But the goblins kept getting better looking, only the orcs sigh
-Apologize, apologize!
-Ah, can't we kick those guys out? haha
-Now even the apology comments are becoming insincere sigh
A duo that goes crazy and kidnaps to Ten Thousand Demon Battle whenever they see orcs.
But as the viewers said, nothing had shown results so far.
'It would be good if the orcs also settled down and we could build another building.'
Buildings constructed through settled goblins.
After seeing the potential for a jackpot from the 'Goblin Black Market'.
Lee Ganghan became more interested in settling races in Ten Thousand Demon Battle than before.
Since he'd brought many orcs lately.
It would be nice if results started showing now.
"Screech. Let's go up quickly and bring more!"
When Karana pointed to the next floor portal with an excited face.
Swoosh.
After confirming that all the prison doors on the 1st floor were open.
"Yeah. Let's go."
He went up to the next floor.
And on the 2nd floor of the prison he ascended to.
Lee Ganghan looked at the closed prison bars on both sides of the corridor.
'Is it because I discovered the clear condition last time? Adventurer's Eye isn't activating.'
When he first played the prison map before.
The Adventurer's Eye effect had activated on the entire 'prison bars'.
That's how he knew opening these was the condition for getting SSS+ evaluation.
Once he figured it out, it seemed Adventurer's Eye didn't activate redundantly.
'Then I just need to proceed according to the previous conditions.'
The SSS+ condition for the prison was definitely.
Clear within 1 hour.
Complete opening of prison doors.
Subdue 80% or more of Orc Guards.
He needed to keep getting caught by Orc Guards up to the 10th floor, wait for doors to open.
And subdue enemies.
"Scre, intruder...!"
Shreek! Shreek!
Waiting until the Orc Guard blew the whistle.
"Good. Now let's make him bow."
"Screech... Got it. But do we really need to open the prison doors?"
"There's a reason for everything."
Making the Orc Guard bow.
Repeating the process of subduing monsters jumping out of prison.
Before they knew it, the two had reached the 9th floor.
"Screech. There seem to be more orcs than last time. I'm satisfied."
"Really? Maybe it's because the stage has increased."
"I'll definitely succeed in evolution this time!"
Even if it was the same prison map, it was now Tower of Infinity Stage 18.
So there was a difference in the number of monsters appearing.
Lee Ganghan looked at the happy Karana for a moment.
'Come to think of it, I didn't even equip Quiene.'
The SSS-grade item he got last time.
He thought of Quiene.
The difficulty of the 'Prison' was too easy.
He didn't feel the need for armor at all, so he didn't even think of equipping Quiene.
'I should try it on now.'
Let's test what kind of defense the black suit will show.
When Lee Ganghan took Quiene out of his inventory and put it on his head.
Sssss...
His body seemed to be thickly covered with darkness.
His clothes had changed to a black suit.
"Your outfit changed?"
"Yeah. It's new armor I got, I want to test if it has defense."
"I don't know about defense... screech. The feeling isn't good."
As soon as Lee Ganghan equipped Quiene.
Karana, whose face turned pale, distanced herself from him a bit.
"What's wrong?"
"Screech... I feel an ominous aura from Heavenly Demon. Just looking makes me break out in cold sweat..."
Did Quiene have this effect too?
Lee Ganghan tilted his head and approached the monster remaining in the prison.
Not all monsters jumped out even when prison doors opened.
Some waited inside to ambush.
He decided to approach to test the suit's defense.
But.
"Hii, hiiek...!"
Contrary to Lee Ganghan's intention to get hit.
The monsters hiding in the prison were terrified and frantically ran away.
"Uh, uhhh..."
With glazed eyes, they sat down on the spot.
Just drooling.
'The fear effect wasn't in the item description.'
But maybe it's because it's the King of the Dead's clothing?
Everyone's terrified and can't think straight.
'It's hard to get hit.'
The monsters in this cell won't work.
Lee Ganghan decided to go to the next floor to try getting attacked.
He ascended to the 10th floor.
The 10th floor of the prison.
The map format was the same as the floors below.
But instead of prisons, there were Orc Guards' rooms next to the corridor.
'These guys are quick, so they'll attack.'
Lee Ganghan approached an Orc Guard patrolling in the corridor with such expectations.
But.
"Hey, I'm here, here!"
While wearing the King of the Dead's clothing.
No matter how much he called the orc in the darkness.
"...?"
The opponent couldn't notice Lee Ganghan at all.
Even right in front.
Even waving his hand in front of the lantern, the orc just kept staring blankly.
-Why is he like that? He can't notice even though he's right in front;
-Is it because he's wearing that suit?
-He wants to get hit wearing the suit but the kids won't hit him haha
A situation where he wanted to test defense but the opponent wouldn't cooperate.
'I didn't even use invisibility but this happens. Is it because it's in the darkness?'
Too good item performance is also a problem.
Lee Ganghan smiled bitterly and took off Quiene.
Then.
His clothes returned to normal.
"Scre, screech?"
The Orc Guard was startled.
Shreeeek...!
He quickly blew the whistle.
"Screech. What's happening!"
Clunk!
Both sides of the corridor.
All the room doors opened and Orc Guards came rushing out.
Just many in number.
Unlike the monsters that came out weakly and hungry from prison, these orcs definitely looked full of energy.
'I should take them all.'
When Lee Ganghan smiled looking at them.
Thud, Thud.
From the end of the corridor.
"Intruder... you've come this far!"
Unlike the Orc Guards he'd met so far.
An orc with red skin.
"Screech! That, that orc is...!"
Karana's evolution target, the 'Gershu Empire Orc', revealed itself.
