Chapter 99
Chapter 99.
'A prison map, coincidentally a place under occupation reservation.'
Rather, this worked out well.
Already the third No.37 tower.
When it changes to occupation reservation, I'll be able to clearly experience how much this map's difficulty has changed compared to before.
As Lee Ganghan entered the 0th floor like that.
"Oh! It's, it's the Heavenly Demon!"
"Oh, it's really him!"
The three players who had been looking dejected all turned to look at Lee Ganghan at once.
All of them brightened their expressions.
"Thank goodness! We were worried about what to do since we got caught in a tower under occupation reservation......"
"It's not even a cooperative battle, but we were confused when teammates suddenly appeared, but the last teammate is the Heavenly Demon."
"Phew. Now we can breathe easy!"
A player composition of 2 Asian players.
And 1 white player.
"Hello."
Lee Ganghan greeted them lightly and then turned on TowerTube.
-Oh, he started
-The alarm went off before I went to sleep lol
-He came right at 12 o'clock sharp shudder
-But is this a cooperative battle?
-It doesn't seem like a cooperative battle map? Isn't this a prison?
-But why is he with other players?
Then chat messages rapidly came up.
Lee Ganghan resolved their questions.
"This isn't a cooperative battle, but a tower under occupation reservation."
-Shudder The prison map was also a place under occupation reservation?
-I heard Australian players all got slaughtered when they went to an occupation-reserved tower lol
-They all couldn't climb past the 1st floor shudder
-But since the Heavenly Demon is here, won't they go up quickly?
Practically, Australian and New Zealand players were the first to start tower climbing.
Although there were quite a few skilled players among them.
They were all stuck on the 1st floor unable to go up.
However, if it's the Heavenly Demon, he's an out-of-spec player.
No matter how much the difficulty increases, he should be able to break through.
With this expectation, viewers.
Started flocking to Lee Ganghan's channel.
Meanwhile,
"Um, Heavenly Demon Lord......"
"We were trying to decide on our formation."
"We came to ask your opinion on what would be best."
The three players approached Lee Ganghan.
And consulted about formation.
"I'll stand in front with my summons. Could you all support from behind?"
"Ah...... Would that be okay?"
"Yes. Oh, if you want to kill monsters, you can stand together too. Do whatever is comfortable for you."
"Well......"
"We'll follow the Heavenly Demon's instructions for now!"
When Lee Ganghan said he would take the lead with his summons.
The three people immediately accepted that proposal, saying it was perfect.
-Lol They're not standing in the front line after all
-There's no reason to stand in front when you can just ride the bus quietly yeah;
-I'd do the same lol
-Players matched with the Heavenly Demon are so lucky lol
When unanimous consent was obtained for standing in the front line.
'Then I should summon the Goblins and Karana first.'
Lee Ganghan summoned the Goblins first.
"Heavenly Demon Eternal! Ten Thousand Demons Prostrate!"
The Goblin Chief and Goblin horde all bowed in unison at Lee Ganghan's summon.
After finishing the bow, the Goblin Chief spoke to Lee Ganghan.
"Heavenly Demon Lord, all Goblins have been summoned, so the Black Market operation will be temporarily stopped."
"Really?"
That's a bit troublesome.
Actually, except for the Goblin Chief.
The Goblins had been out of the main force for a long time.
Still, the reason he had been summoning them until now was for the Goblins' level up.
"How many Goblins do you need to operate the Black Market?"
"I think we need about half to operate it."
"Then let's send half back. They're out of the main force anyway."
"That's right. These are not suitable for combat! They're trash suited for market chores!"
The Goblin Chief gave a harsh evaluation even to his own kind.
"Pick out the ones to send."
"Yes sir!"
He quickly selected the Goblins to operate the market.
"Go and work."
A total of 25 Goblins were reverse-summoned like that.
Lee Ganghan then summoned Karana.
Then.
"Chiiiiik......! I, I was in the middle of an important evolution moment!"
Unlike when she was usually summoned.
With haggard eyes, she grumbled that it was an important moment, seemingly disappointed to be summoned.
However,
"I think we can secure more Gershu Empire Orcs, won't you go?"
When Lee Ganghan said that with a grin.
Karana's expression changed 180 degrees.
"Chiik? What did you say?"
"This is a prison map, where we kidnapped Orcs last time."
"Ah......!"
Realizing this was the prison map where they first kidnapped Gershu Empire Orcs.
She immediately came out cooperatively.
"Let's go! Chiiiiik!"
The front line was completed like that.
-The unit is complete lol
-But isn't the Heavenly Demon most of the power anyway lol
-The Elf is somewhat strong though heh
-If we consider power ratio, it's probably Heavenly Demon 98%, Chief 1%, Elf 1%
-What about the Goblins?
-They're for picking up items lol
While viewers were evaluating the front unit's power like that.
Flash!
Lee Ganghan entered the portal and proceeded to the 1st floor.
"Kuruk. You've come......"
"Kill them!"
As soon as he took the portal.
What he saw right in front of him were Gershu Empire Orcs.
-??? What -They're camping the entrance?
-This is totally insane;
-Aren't those Red Orcs?
-It was already ridiculous when they appeared as bosses last time, but now they're appearing as 1st floor mobs shudder
Originally, the prison was.
A map where stealth and suppression while avoiding guards' surveillance was the standard.
But the prison under 'occupation reservation' had Gershu Empire Orcs camping from the 1st floor entrance.
For ordinary players.
It was a structure where they would be ambushed and instantly killed upon entering.
However,
"Ah. What a surprise."
As Lee Ganghan's hand seemed to move.
The Gershu Empire Orcs attacking from the portal entrance.
Bang! Bang!
Had their heads blown off entirely.
"Chiiiiik......?"
"Wh, what?!"
The Orcs were flustered seeing their comrades' heads suddenly explode.
"Oh dear, I killed them."
I should have handed these over to Karana.
I didn't expect them to ambush from the entrance, so I used too much power.
Lee Ganghan reflected on himself and then.
'Let's subdue them moderately.'
Whoosh!
He leaped toward the enemy.
Thud, Thud, thud!
After a few bone-breaking sounds.
"Kuk, keuk......!"
"Monster......!"
Gershu Empire Orcs rolling on the ground.
-The Heavenly Demon's movements seem to have gotten faster somehow shudder
-Is this the result of a week of secluded training???
-He really was training...
-I believed it from when he shot palm energy yeah
-Wasn't it palm energy when the Red Orc heads exploded earlier too lol
While viewers were realizing that Lee Ganghan had become even stronger.
"......Chi, chiik. What's happening? Why are Empire Orcs already."
Karana, who followed through the portal, made a flustered expression seeing that sight.
"They were camping from the entrance."
"Ah...... From the entrance?"
"Yeah."
Swish.
Lee Ganghan pointed at the fallen Orcs with his finger.
"Could you make them bow?"
He requested 'Orc Subjugation' according to the usual process.
***
9th floor.
"Wow. Seeing the Heavenly Demon in person is no joke......"
"I can't see his movements at all in real life."
"Are we really the same Bronze grade......"
The three players who had been following Lee Ganghan closely.
Hadn't been able to swing their weapons even once during this time.
Still, none of them had dissatisfied expressions.
"But only Red Orcs keep appearing......"
"How on earth are we supposed to clear this......"
"It would have been big trouble without the Heavenly Demon."
From the 1st to 9th floors.
The monsters appearing here were all Gershu Empire Orcs.
The commonly called Red Orcs, known to be opponents from Gold grade onward.
They appeared like common mobs from the 1st floor.
Excluding irregulars like the Heavenly Demon.
If it had been a normal(?) Bronze party, they would still be dying continuously at the 1st floor entrance.
Rather than that, clearing as spectators here.
Was a much better result for them.
-Wow, but the ones who were bosses in the previous prison map became common mobs
-This really doesn't seem like it was made to be cleared...
-So this is why they can't conquer even one floor in occupation-reserved towers
-If the difficulty increases like this, won't the scores be ruined from now on?
-Exactly; but I heard you get matched with occupation-reserved towers quite often
While watching Lee Ganghan clear the path refreshingly.
Viewers were worried, realizing how drastically the difficulty of 'occupation reservation' towers had increased.
The Heavenly Demon is strong enough to break through here easily.
But other players would have difficulty breaking through even the 1st floor entrance.
Meanwhile,
"Chiiiiik...... This one too...... Failed."
Karana, who had been excited about being able to take Gershu Empire Orcs.
Was mostly failing to brainwash the Orcs that Lee Ganghan had subdued.
'Last time's success was lucky.'
Like last time, after equipping Quiene to instill fear.
She continued the process of brainwashing Gershu Empire Orcs to make them bow.
But the success rate was only about 10%.
The previous Orc's easy submission while wetting himself was lucky.
Still, it wasn't completely fruitless.
"You brought back about 10, right?"
"I'm sorry......"
She did secure 10 more Gershu Empire Orcs for Ten Thousand Demon Battle.
'Now I can upgrade the Orc Shaman's Altar.'
The Orc Shaman's Altar had a condition '5 or more Gershu Empire Orcs residing' for upgrade.
At first, I wondered how to fulfill this condition.
But it worked out eventually.
Then.
"Am I...... not a true Shaman?"
Karana muttered with a self-reproachful expression.
As the Gershu Empire Orcs were dying.
They mocked her, saying what kind of Shaman she was.
There's no way a Shaman's authority would be this weak, which seemed to hurt her quite a bit.
"Kikik. Failed again?"
The Goblin Chief mocked Karana like that.
"Then, Heavenly Demon sir, we'll begin dismantling the red Orcs."
Swish.
He went to the fallen Orcs and dismantled their bodies with skilled hand movements.
Flesh scraping to extract gold from living beings.
The Goblin Chief, along with 25 Goblins, had been concentrating only on this dismantling work since earlier.
-Only the Heavenly Demon fights lol
-The summons' work is just brainwashing and corpse dismantling lol
-But the Goblins aren't even helpful
-For real at least they're doing something
'I might need combat summons later too.'
Currently, the only ones who could be main forces were the Goblin Chief and Karana.
The Spirit of Heavenly Sword was a sword.
The Lowest Grade Disciples were non-combat forces.
Lee Ganghan thought he should bring more races to Ten Thousand Demon Battle while.
"Let's go."
"Yes sir!"
After finishing the work on the 9th floor.
He entered the portal leading to the 10th floor.
Paaat!
As he entered beyond the portal.
[A different race is intruding.]
A message suddenly appeared before his eyes.
'Different race intrusion...... The race that made the occupation reservation.'
I wondered when they would appear, and now they finally show up.
"Different race......?"
"Fi, finally appearing?"
While the players who followed were tensing up.
Creak, Creak, creak......!
Cracks appeared in the dirt floor.
And milk-white marble flooring rose from beneath.
"Ah, this is...... the effect when different races appear, right?"
"That's right."
And when the floor was completely changed.
[*** is intruding.]
A different race with a hidden name invaded.
Wondering what kind of race would come.
Paaaaat......!
A blue portal opened from the opposite side.
"Chiiiiiiik!!!"
The distinctive chiik sound of Orcs was heard from inside.
-What, it's Orcs?
-Eh, I thought it was Elves;
-I guess Orcs are also one of the different races
-But I don't think I've seen anyone matched with Orc players?
-Right; I thought Orcs were just common mobs lol
-If it's Orcs, why bother hiding it with ***? annoyed
Hearing the Orc sounds, viewers.
Most reacted that it was anticlimactic despite the marble being laid out.
However,
Thud, Thud.
When an Orc with blood-red skin appeared.
The players behind stirred.
"What's that......"
"Why does it have two heads?"
Similar in build to the Gershu Empire Orcs they had met so far.
But an Orc with two heads and necks attached together.
"Wa, Warlord!"
Karana was startled seeing this.
Warlord.
Seems like it's a fairly high-level one.
"Is it a strong one among Orcs?"
"It's a being that has reached the end of evolution among Orcs! Even Shamans cannot easily refuse a Warlord's proposal!"
"Are you saying Shamans are higher, or Warlords are higher?"
"They're similar!"
Then Karana added with a dark expression.
"Chiik. Of course, a half-baked Shaman like me cannot dare compare to a Warlord......"
"Hmm. Then that one won't bow, right?"
"That's right. If Empire Orcs won't work, then Warlords definitely won't......"
Right, the success rate was only 10% earlier.
There's no way a Warlord stronger than that would work.
"Kuruk."
"Chiik."
Meanwhile.
The Orc Warlord, fully revealing itself from the portal.
Made the distinctive Orc sounds from both heads.
Shing.
And drew out two massive swords it carried on its back.
-Oh, its equipment looks good shudder
-The armor it's wearing looks high-grade too?
-Is it possible to face that in a suit?
-No no The Heavenly Demon's suit only looks like a suit, but that's probably armor too?
-Still, that one has the feel of an elite warrior
The two-headed Orc definitely looked strong.
'Since it's the 10th floor, let's go full power.'
With that thought, Lee Ganghan.
"Heavenly Demon Divine Art."
Used Heavenly Demon Divine Art.
The power of the Heavenly Demon surged from his entire body.
"Kuruk...... What are the Goblin and Elf about?"
"Chiik. This is even better. It won't end quickly."
The Orc Warlord, not paying attention to Lee Ganghan at all.
Looked at the Goblin Chief and Elf and was pleased that it could enjoy more combat.
'Humans are easy, is that it?'
Let's see.
Let's test how strong it really is.
Lee Ganghan, to the two-headed Orc standing with an arrogant expression.
Lightly, as a test of strength, used a martial art from Heavenly Demon Divine Palm.
Heavenly Demon Divine Palm Heaven-Breaking Meteor Palm
Flash!
Red energy sparkled like fireworks on his palm.
That light instantly extended in a straight line.
Light flying in a trajectory resembling a meteor.
Crack, Crack.
The red flash seemed to spark like electricity.
"Chiik?"
The two heads of the Orc with wide eyes.
Boom, boom, bang!
Were instantly shattered and exploded simultaneously.
"Huh? What's this."
No, it acted all tough.
But it exploded in one hit.
"Karana, was that one really strong?"
When Lee Ganghan asked while tilting his head.
"......"
Everyone present looked at him like he was a monster.
