. Burning Call (1)

The 24th floor of the Tower of Trials.

The inside of the castle, which had been turned into ruins due to the Murim's attack, was piled up in a mountain of corpses.

The scorching smoke and the groans of the wounded spoke of how gruesome the battle was.

And .

There were two men from the watchtower looking down on the whole scene.

The head of the Namgung Sega, and Namgung Jinho.

It was Namgungcheon who led the Chinese Guild of China.

This job was very difficult. Thanks to your efforts, you easily took away one of the enemy's bases.

"I didn't say anything I just did what the headmaster told me to do."

Chuckle! It was the right decision to have you as a member of our Namgungse family, to say that you were humble enough to have destroyed one of the Empire's proud knights alone...

Namgung Jinho looked at Namgungcheon with a soft expression.

Originally, the Chinese Guild was only a tool for the expansion of Moorim's power. Even that almost disappeared after being halved by the 3rd Great Despair.

But.

only one.

Namgungcheon was too precious to throw away as it is.

Although he was an outsider of the tower and did not inherit the bloodline of the Moorim, it was because his natural talents and abilities were too great.

So Namgung Jinho gave Namgungcheon the name of the real 'Namgung', taught him the sword, and made him perfect.

'Now, Hyun-i and the rest of the late Jisoo can't compete with Chun-yi. Had we known this would happen, we should have embraced this child right away.'

Moorim Among them, as the sword of the 5th generation and the 9th wave.

Someday, the Empire will become a sea of fire and the Sapas and Magicians who have no choice but to join hands will be able to slaughter all of them.

As he imagined that, a fishy smile appeared on the corner of Jinho Namgung's lips.

not long now

The day when that grand dream will come true.

We have to destroy one more stronghold of them within today. Moorimmeng promised to support seven top-class masters including 'Shin Youngdae'. How can you do that?

Yes. I'm sure I'll succeed.

Namgungcheon also saw a scorching flame in his eyes.

It is a difficult line to hold.

In a world that has completely changed. You will surely climb by holding on to the golden rope that you can climb upwards.

However, something suddenly flashed through Namgungcheon's mind, who was holding his fist.

But, my lord.

Why?

What are you going to do with that guy?

Namgungcheon mentioned another person.

Even if I didn't have to say it, Jinho Namgung knew who the target was.

Jinhyuk Kang.

The strongest and worst ranker.

It was all his fault that the Chinese Guild collapsed, and he had a history of several clashes with Moorim.

He is a dangerous person of interest.

If left alone, it must have been a big factor in this war.

Don't worry. The players won't be in the mood to get involved in this.

" you have a plan."

Yeah. So you just have to do your job well.

The plan is not going to go awry.

Because the entire Moorim has already completed the perfect hunting preparations for this day.

In the 'psychiatric ward' located on the 5th floor of the Tower of Trials, Jinhyuk, Ellis, and Andria were having a heated conversation.

There is only one subject.

It is about the section 'How do I act to become a great boss monster?'

As Caracal of the Frostblade Tribe and the rest of the trolls also played a big role in breaking through the 8th and 9th floors, Jinhyuk was planning to raise Andrea, one of the Hidden cards.

That's why I had called Elise, the presidential candidate, with me.

It's been a long time since I've seen you.

Andria greeted Jinhyuk and Elise with bright faces.

hey

Once upon a time, she was a terrified girl among cultists.

Now, I still feel the dignity of a boss.

When I saw the leaves made of laurel and the clothes made of white cloth... what is it Does she look like a goddess from Greek mythology?

Seeing them side by side with Elise made me think of them as sisters.

The difference was that one was docile and the other tickled.

'Still, it's been a while since I've been here, so it's nice and friendly.'

Jinhyuk looked around slowly.

The gloomy and dark interior had not changed much from when I had been here before.

The madness of the fanatics had diminished a bit, but it still struck me that this was a psychiatric ward.

How are you these days? The upper floor is open, but there must still be players who are bothering you?

Of the 11 bosses in charge of the room, 8 lost their lives to the players. There are three remaining including me, but everyone is just looking at each other.

hoo. Have you lost that much already?

As time goes by, the level of the players also seems to rise.

Are those who survived the prison and the uninhabited island owner? They're also riding their shit right now.

Yes. At this rate, all regions will soon be occupied. Before that, the prevailing opinion is to gather the remaining forces into one. Of course, we do not want to be absorbed by each other, so we are only keeping them in check.

So.

Their lives are at risk because of the players who are getting stronger, but it hurts their pride to unite and go under someone else.

what would this mean

Obviously, it will be difficult to stop the players who are growing on the 5th tier as time goes by.

In the end, it was necessary to make Andria grow faster than it is now.

And not only... even for my future.

right then

Don't worry. This body will give you special quick tutoring.

Elise's confident voice could be heard right next to her.

Oh oh.

After all, does that guy have the qualities of a really good teacher?

Jinhyuk turned his head with excitement on his face.

By the way.

ha .

The moment he saw Elise, Jinhyuk had no choice but to let out a deep sigh.

how?

Alice smiled strangely as she wore black horn-rimmed glasses, a white shirt, and a black skirt.

It looked like he was prepared with a lot of intention to curl his hair up.

Besides, Belus was also with him, as if he had been summoned from the necklace before he knew it.

That guy is also a spectator... .

She is dressed in the same Indiana Jones outfit.

Tousled hair, a half-loosed shirt, and even a leather whip. It was exactly what you would see in a movie.

It doesn't make sense to hang out in the meantime.

Anyway, that's why I don't like guys with superior genes... .

Jinhyuk pressed his temple with his index finger.

They say that this is the true face of a teacher who is popular among people outside the tower. They say that learning efficiency increases by 50% this way?

What kind of crazy bastard said that?

Viewtube! I looked up your laptop last night.

It's like the damn Viewtube algorithm.

Okay. Let's not talk. Tell me what to do.

"It's a method we often use we fight and fight until we fall down from exhaustion here."

Alice bit her finger slightly.

Whoops!

Drops of blood seemed to flow out, but then a huge barrier broke down on the floor.

[[Ellis is Lv??]

Implementing the 'Fighting Arena of Fresh Blood'!]

A barrier that can maximize the experience and realization when fighting inside the barrier.

It was a fighting arena mainly used by young blood relatives of the Ataraxia family to perform rites of passage.

"Are you fighting with me my sister?"

Andria looked at Elise cautiously.

I usually sparring with Elise, but there is a big difference in skill between the two.

Because Ellis mainly enjoyed long-distance combat, it didn't match well with Andria, who specialized in close-range combat.

This means you have more time to be beaten than to learn.

Considering that... .

No, I'll do it.

Elise is not suited to this job.

Jinhyuk took out 'fangs' from the subspace inventory.

Whoops.

The green dagger was gently wrapped around his right hand.

"Jinhyuk you are the Primary God who introduced me directly ."

Andria clenched her fists with a sad expression on her face.

From her point of view, Jinhyuk is truly a god.

He is the savior who changed the dark past.

As a ranker who swept away the psychiatric ward with overwhelming dance, Andria's emotions were more intense than she had imagined.

Andria also held two 30cm long daggers in each hand.

Still, he had trained quite a bit with Ellis, so his posture was so firm that it could not be compared to when we first met.

After becoming the boss, I didn't even have to talk about the rise of mana.

"I'm not going to look after you, so try your best too."

Yes. I will do my best.

Andria nodded her head.

starting with it.

fault!

Andria moved first.

The distance narrowed in an instant using vampires' unique movement skills.

The dagger rotated counterclockwise and aimed at Jinhyuk's body.

Kaaan!

Two swords crossed with a light metallic sound.

What followed was a splendid sword dance that was hard to discern with the naked eye.

front and back left and right.

Each attack was terrifying to the extent that sparring was insignificant.

If someone you didn't know saw it, you would believe that they were fighting a serious swordsmanship.

But.

An attack like that. Jinhyuk accepted it with ease.

Kaka Kaka Kaka!

'ね!'

Andria bit her lip.

Until now, to become a more perfect boss monster, I had been focusing on training day and night.

To catch up with Jinhyuk, even one step at a time.

To help Jinhyuk on his way, even a little.

He risked his life and devoted himself to becoming stronger.

nevertheless.

'It is not narrowed down.'

The gigantic wall at first sight had not been lowered in the slightest.

On the contrary, the more they attacked, the more the despair seemed to deepen.

The difference in skill between the two was obvious.

Despite the difference in skill between the two, Jinhyuk well adjusted the speed and depth of Sparring so that Andria could unleash her full potential.

Almost perfect for eye level education.

Elise, who was watching, shook her head in shock.

Really, every time I see him fighting, he gets stronger. If I go on like this, I think it will be difficult to handle even if my seal is broken?

Ellis...-sama. What is that! Anyway, that's the case. No way, comparing a single human to Elise-sama...

Do you really think so? Nonsense?

Seriously, it's ridiculous to say this.

The absolute of the tower.

best bloodline.

Because the existence that even the six families feared was the existence of Ellis von Ataraxia.

But why?

Alice felt it instinctively.

There is not much time left for that gorgeous modifier to sustain.

As time goes by, a new rank will emerge among the many powerful in the tower.

'It's not bad though.'

My self-esteem wasn't hurt.

because .

Because the person who was that strong was the person who made a contract with him.

And that person will remember the promise you made with him.

With that thought in mind, Elise stretched out for a long time as if satisfied.

If you don't know, just watch. It looks different depending on the original level.

All right.

Belus nodded reluctantly.

However.

Sparring, who had thought it would drag on a little longer, announced the end unexpectedly abruptly.

[You have received a video call request.]

A status window appeared in front of Jinhyuk.

The sender is Teresa.

The place is Europe.

By the way.

That Europe... So much had changed from what everyone knew.
