Chapter 14

Kim Hyunsoo and Ji Suyeon couldn’t hide their surprised looks.

“No, is that possible? Avoiding the troll’s fist flying in front of its eyes? And not just once?”

“I know. It doesn’t make sense unless your abilities are specialized in agility…It’s like reading the troll’s attacks in advance.”

“…”

It’s not just the two of course.

Yujun also admired Paranette’s swift movements.

‘It’s worth giving it the items.’

He didn’t expect this level of performance.

‘On top of that. The troll’s attacks won’t hurt Paranette much.’

Level 100 Hero grade defense.

It wasn’t just for decorations.

It’ll be able to endure the troll attacks easily.

‘In the first place, Paranette’s level is higher than the troll.’

It was avoiding the troll’s attacks by reading and watching it properly.

Even the troll was beginning to get tired.

Paranette, on the other hand, is an undead.

In the long run, it can be seen who has the advantage.

The problem is that Paranette was not seriously hurting the troll.

He didn’t expect it in the first place.

It was up to party members to clean up the troll.

‘Well, it should be a quick fight.’

He felt proud for some reason.

Then Ji Suyeon opened her mouth.

“What do you think? Attack now?”

“I’ll keep an eye on it. The more tired the troll is, the better it is for us.”

“Well, that would be good.”

Trolls, though less intelligent, were not stupid.

At one point, it realized that if it continued to scuffle with Paranette, it would be exhausted from the process.

So it stopped swinging its fists.

It turned to a different target.

With Yujun and the party members watching right behind.

The troll came running, trembling the ground.

“Get ready!”

Kim Hyunsoo, who uses fire magic, first created a red line and a fire wall in the path of the troll.

Woosh!

A hot column of fire rose high.

The troll, which was already close to the pillar of fire, broke through without the thought of avoiding it.

Woosh!

Doesn’t it feel hot?

The tough troll came running with a terrifying spirit.

“C-crazy!”

“We’ve expected this. Hyunwoo, aim for the eyes of the troll.”

Park Hyunwoo nodded at Kim Hyunsoo.

At least the part where the troll couldn’t regenerate quickly were the eyeballs.

Triple shot.

It was a skill of three arrows flying in a row.

Three arrows flew in exactly the same path and stuck in the right eye of the troll.

Boom!

“Grawr!”

The troll screamed as if it could not stand being hit in the eye.

While the troll was briefly distressed, Yujun and the party members quickly widened their distance from the troll.

Kim Hyunsoo prepared to cast a magic spell.

This time, a huge fire ball flew at the troll.

Woosh! Boom!

A fire ball exploded in the troll’s face.

Flames that instantly covered its’ face.

Kim Hyunsoo had magical firepower similar to a level 80 fire wizard.

Meanwhile, Paranette attacked the ankles of the troll in succession with its sword.

Red blood dripped from the troll’s ankles.

As Paranette attacked the troll from every angle, it began to twist itself.

Its arms and legs swung in all directions.

Paranette stepped back for a moment.

Boom!

The troll immediately stood up and began to run in the direction of the party members.

The party responded in the same way as before.

Park Hyunwoo’s arrow flew again at the eyes of the troll.

Swoosh!

This time, only one arrow flew.

The troll hurriedly raised its palm to block the arrow.

Boom!

Bomber Shot.

It was an explosive skill that exploded the arrow as soon as it was touched.

‘Was it Park Hyunwoo? He has a good skill.’

Bomber Shot was a skill that even Yujun, who didn’t use a bow, wanted.

Park Hyunwoo was well aware of the timing of his arrow.

‘Maybe he could even become a ranker one day.’

The troll, caught up in the explosion, has not moved for a while.

Bomber Shot was such a powerful kill.

The disadvantage was that it consumed a lot of mana.

“Now! Concentrate your firepower!”

All the party members used their skill at Kim Hyunsoo’s words.

Yujun had no skills, so he approached the troll.

He saw Paranette was still hitting the troll’s ankles.

Yujun became stunned when he saw the huge troll up close.

‘It’s so big.’

Face to face, it was overwhelming.

However, there was no fear.

It is due to his Composure (S).

He just realized that in order to survive in this Infinite Tower, there was nothing more useful than remaining calm.

‘The last blow is on me.’

If they don’t defeat it now, they’ll have to start all over again.

That’s why they need a clear damage dealer, but the skills of Kim Hyunsoo and Park Hyunwoo were not enough.

It was possible for him to finish the troll.

Yujun took a couple of deep breaths and climbed onto the troll’s body.

With two leaps up to the top of the troll’s head, he swung his sword with all his strength.

Psh!

Yujun’s sword easily penetrated the thick skin of the troll.

“Grawr…”

The roar of the troll stopped.

The focus in its eyes disappeared.

At the same time, the troll fell down.

Thud-!

When the heavy troll fell, the ground greatly shook once.

[Level has risen!]

[Level has risen!]

[Level has risen!]

[Obtained Bone Shield from troll.]

Yujun, who landed on the floor awkwardly, breathed a sigh of relief.

They defeated the troll with no casualties.

The troll was disoriented, so he aimed for the weak head and killed it in one hit.

‘It’s just a 5th floor trial, but it’s a lot harder. As expected of a raid boss, the experience is great.’

The party that successfully passed the 5th floor’s trial was warped to the 6th floor.

“Wow… Mr. Yujun. What the hell are you?”

Said Ji Suyeon while making a fuss.

Other party members, too, were looking at Yujun with shining eyes.

“What’s your identity?”

“A summoner who dealt with the boss alone… You killed the troll in one hit, didn’t you?”

“It was possible because he was already weakened.”

“You know the regenerative power of the troll. I’m pretty sure the troll, who was injured in our attacks, had already almost recovered.”

That’s right.

Although the troll was disoriented, its wound was healing at a rapid pace when Yujun climbed up.

But he couldn’t say it exactly.

‘I don’t have to take all the credit.’

He doesn’t intend to hide his power.

But he’s also not going to brag about it.

For now, his items were just better than other players.

It wasn’t good to be conceited.

“Anyways, I was surprised too. In fact, the strategy for the 5th floor is to wear out the troll…We couldn’t have done it without your summon.”

“Ahem.”

Paranette, who was listening next to Yujun, waved its hand.

Yujun thought it was doing it out of embarrassment.

“May I add you to Messenger?”

“Please add me too.”

Not only Ji Suyeon but also Kim Hyunsoo requested to be added to the Messenger.

‘This was like requesting a handshake online.’

He felt a little strange when he actually experienced what was once something that happens online.

‘I don’t have to refuse.’

Yujun added Kim Hyunsoo and Ji Suyeon to his Messenger list.

It was then.

An additional holographic window appeared before his eyes.

[Player Park Hyunwoo has requested your Messenger ID.]

When Yujun looked up, Park Hyunwoo was looking at him expressionlessly.

Yujun smiled and sent his ID to Park Hyunwoo.

Before he knew it, they had approached him.

“Would you like to join us? We’re a hunting party.”

“I’m sorry. I don’t think it’s going to work right now. I have things to do.”

“Oh, really? Then please contact us for the next trial later.”

“Okay.”

From the 6th floor, I’m thinking of going up alone, but for now I said yes.

The party members returned to the residential area to a rest.

‘Let’s quickly head up.’

In the first place, he did not use much energy and was not willing to stop now.

On the 10th floor, there is a hidden dungeon that he knows of.

The hidden dungeon is in a difficult place to spot.

He just hope it hasn’t been cleared yet.

The reward from there is not something he wanted to miss even now.

‘It was pretty hard…’

Yujun, who was over 150 level at the time, also had a hard time clearing that hidden dungeon.

However, now he has the inventory of a max level character.

It will be different from before.

Yujun immediately touched the statue.

And the trial on the 6th floor started.

6th floor, 7th floor, 8th floor.

In less than a half day, Yujun passed three trials and reached the 9th floor.

Alone.

It was an unusual pace.

He was rewarded for his endeavor.

[Obtained rare title: Skilled Climber.]

The effect of the title was the following.

– Skilled Climber (rare): The reward for clearing the trials is slightly increased.

“As expected.”

It was also a quite useful title Yujun had in War of Gods.

‘Let’s check my level now.’

[Player: Shin Yujun]

Level: 81

Traits: Composure (S)

Skills: Crushing Blow (B)

Title: Legendary Item Collector (Legendary) – Effectiveness of worn items increased by 15%, etc…

Attributes:

[Strength 95 (88+7)][Agility 133 (106+27)][Stamina 92 (85+7)][Magic 22 (15+7)]

[Undistributed Point: 0]

Level 81.

His level has gone up a lot.

‘I took care of all the monsters and trials by myself, so I got all the experience.’

So if possible, he wanted to pass the trials alone.

And the Crusing Blow (B) skill.

It came from a skill book that was awarded after passing the 8th floor’s trial.

It was an active skill that greatly increased the power of his sword swings.

It’s also very useful because it doesn’t consume too much mana.

Yujun smiled broadly.

“By the way, master. Why don’t you go to the 10th floor?”

Asked Paranette.

Yujun grinned and spoke.

“I’m going to eat as much as I can on the 9th floor.”

The reason why he didn’t challenge the trial to the 10th floor was simple.

It was because there was something he had to check on the 9th floor.

The 9th floor.

When he played ‘War of Gods,’ he found an ancient ruin on the 9th floor.

In addition, many players visited the ancient ruin.

But.

‘If requirement is not met, entry would be denied.’

Players had speculated that the ancient ruin might be an event dungeon.

Until the day the server was shut down, the mystery of ancient ruin had not been solved.

The ancient ruin in the middle of a forest.

He was sure it’s big and there must be something.

Nobody knows that.

Then, what information does only he know?

It’s the second tutorial.

The only clue to this was that he had cleared the tutorial of Hell difficulty.

That’s why he thought the ancient ruin was a place where he could do the second tutorial.

‘It wouldn’t hurt to check.’

Considering that he received a huge reward in his first tutorial.

He didn’t even know what kind of rewards the second tutorial would be.

Yujun crossed a forest and headed to the site of the ancient ruin.
