===================
The 80s floors of the Black Tower, the giant monster section.
The Giant Snake Apophis appears on the 82nd floor.
In all towers around the world.
Since there’s no difficulty adjustment, it’s probably similar to or slightly more difficult than the Behemoth.
Joo-hyuk and the summoned entities climbed to the No. 2 Tower for Rajix’s actual combat training.
[Entering the 82nd floor of the Republic of Korea’s Black Tower (NO.2).]
The 82nd floor of the No. 2 Tower is a floor without special compensation hung on it, and there’s no hidden mission either.
[82nd Floor Mission : Kill 1 Giant Snake Apophis.]
[Completion Time Limit : Within 15 hours.]
[Completion Condition : Giant Snake Apophis 0/1]
Seu-sa-sa-sa-sat!
The Giant Snake Apophis that appeared in the underground cavern.
First, putting the entire appearance of Apophis into a smartphone video.
The second monster of the giant monster section.
I need to show people how big this guy is.
Before the clear, Joo-hyuk and the summoned entities putting their heads together and forming a strategy.
“For now, we need to make Rajix-ssi recognize that the likes of Apophis is just dog food.”
It’s a guy even lesser than an earthworm.
That guy cannot inflict any harm at all.
We engrave that into Rajix’s head.
“We must do our best from the start, sir.”
“That is right, sir. Smash it early on, sir. Pull out all your special moves cleanly, sir.”
“Let’s start by sticking a large bullet in it.”
“Sir Gwangma, plug that hideous crescent moon sword aura in too…….”
“More importantly, this old man will charge with his physical body. I must clash with my body.”
“The warrior will hold it tight.”
“Let’s having the Blood Wolf participate in the battle and order it to bite too.”
After witnessing the gigantic guy again, Rajix trembling ho-dal-dal-dal while holding a long pole.
He was in that state even though he already gulped down Potions of Courage and Elixirs of Mental Strength Enhancement recklessly.
Overcoming the trauma of the past is this difficult.
Even for the all-around worker.
“What are you doing, sir? Universe’s Great Farmhand!”
“Ho-e-e…….”
“Cheer up, sir. Once we kill that snake bastard, we can just soak it in alcohol, sir. I will give it to Summoner Bong-nim, sir; do you know how good snake wine is for stamina, sir?”
“That is correct, Worker. We must marry off our summoner.”
“…….”
“Supply Officer-nim, I, Sergeant Be, will protect you.”
Joo-hyuk also hugged Rajix tightly and said.
“Watch carefully. How we process that guy.”
Now, let’s go in.
For an overwhelming clear.
“Let’s go!”
Kung-kung-kung-kung-kung!
“Uwoooooooh!!!”
Gigantified Gobang ran towards Apophis.
“Kyaaaak!”
At the same time.
Jji-i-i-ing!
Pa-ju-ju-juk!
Chul-leong!
Sergeant Be’s large bullet firing.
Kwa-kwang!
Gobang hugging tightly with both arms the gigantic body of Apophis wriggling after taking damage.
However, the guy coiled up and tightened its body around him.
Pa-ba-ba-bat!
Gyeon Dal-rae’s binding talismans flew and stuck consecutively.
Following that, Gwangma, armed with Blood Jade Sword Aura, thrust both hands deep into Apophis’s relatively soft belly part.
“Kaoooo!”
Gwangma pulling out organs from its stomach, covered in blood.
Apophis writhing in pain.
Bardin slammed the Flail of Radiance down onto the guy’s huge earthen pot.
Kwa-jik!
“Keu-reo-reong!”
Kwa-ak!
The Blood Wolf bit the end of the guy’s tail and hung on.
Geppetto drove his fangs into its body.
Tiamat spread the Curse of Dreams.
Joo-hyuk also helped out for the first time in a while.
Sending out Homuns armed with the lightning attribute to torment Apophis.
Pa-jik! Pa-ji-ji-jik!
It certainly was strong.
Isn’t it a giant monster.
As it resisted while twisting its body, people fell away one after another.
However, they attacked tenaciously.
Not even paying attention to defense and unconditionally attacking.
Everyone attacked with all their might.
Apophis finally falling into a near-death state.
“Heok-heok, I told you, sir. It is dog food, sir. It is an opportunity to show the dignity of the universe’s great farmhand, sir.”
“…Ho-e-e-e.”
Still ho-dal-dal.
“Come this way, Rajix-ssi.”
“Taking a step forward is the start. Please show the vigorous spirit of the universe’s great farmhand.”
“This old man will help! Come closer. Come and strike this guy’s head!”
“The worker is already a warrior!”
“Supply Officer-nim!!!”
“Keong-keong! Keo-keo-keong! Keong-keong-keong!”
However, Rajix putting on a heavily tearful face.
I understand.
If trauma can be overcome this easily, is it even a trauma?
It’s just a bad memory then.
However, Rajix is also mustering up his own courage in his own way.
Looking at the other summoned entities, one step, two steps forward.
Dawdling, trembling ho-dal-dal, tightly closing his eyes and slowly forward.
Gripping the long pole tightly with both hands and walking with toddling steps in front of Apophis.
“Now, now, applause!”
Clap-clap-clap-clap!
“You’re doing great, you’re doing great, you’re doing great!”
“The universe’s great farmhand is stepping out. Bow your heads!”
“That’s right! One more step!”
“I love you! Supply Officer-nim.”
“Aiyooo, how vigorous, sir.”
“Let there be light!!!”
“Keong-keong!”
Rajix moved his steps little by little, very little by little.
Extremely encouraging.
A massive improvement compared to when he couldn’t even meet eyes in the past.
Right at that moment!
Tti-ring!
[Giant Snake Apophis 1/1]
[You have succeeded in the 82nd floor mission.]
[Your level has gone up.]
[Reward : High-Grade Mana Stones 82kg]
The clear completion message popped up.
Did we beat it up too severely?
[World Notice : You have achieved the 82nd floor clear grade S+++ in Black Tower NO.2 (Korea).]
[S+++ Clear Reward : 2 Platinum Badges are awarded.]
Even so, Joo-hyuk was extremely satisfied.
Even though Rajix couldn’t inflict even 1% of damage to Apophis.
Can you get full on the first spoonful?
The important thing is that he took such a courageous step forward.
*
Rajix’s ongoing training.
For now, he has taken his first steps.
Looking straight at Apophis.
The remaining thing is that he must inflict 10% damage.
This isn’t suitable.
With what kind of weapon?
If possible, it’s good to hit it from far away.
What if he uses long-distance weapons like a bow or Sergeant Be’s magic gun?
Rajix is a non-combat class.
Therefore, he has no skills and is not proficient.
So what was devised is an extended pickaxe.
So that he can hit from afar to lessen the fear even a little.
The head of a pickaxe was inserted at the end of a very long pole and fixed firmly.
Rajix just needs to do what he can do best.
His mining ability is extremely outstanding.
He mines high-ma by smashing rocks kwak-kwak with a pickaxe.
And so Rajix practicing fiercely day after day.
When the number of tower entries runs out?
Virtual training at the White Tower.
Cossack is the training assistant, Gobang is Apophis’s stand-in.
Gobang wearing an Apophis snake mask on his head lay flat on the floor.
As if it would become a real snake just with a snake mask…….
Gyeon Dal-rae’s Phantom Talisman supplemented the shortcoming.
When stuck on his forehead, he changed similarly to Apophis.
Gobang mimicking a snake while lying flat.
Kkum-teul-kkum-teul.
In front of him, Rajix holding the pole pickaxe.
“It is a snake, sir. It is a snake good for the body and delicious, sir.”
Kkum-teul-kkum-teul.
Gobang advanced while twisting his body.
Extremely seriously.
Cossack wearing sunglasses pointed a finger and instructed.
“Strike, sir, strongly! As if striking a snake’s head, sir.”
“Ho, ho-e-e.”
Joo-hyuk too.
“Rajix-ssi, try hitting it just once. Vigorously!”
“Hoo-e-e-e.”
The other summoned entities too.
“Strike!”
“You may strike, sir.”
“Keong!”
“Strike!!!”
Voices heard from all directions.
Flinching, he whipped with the pole pickaxe.
Hwi-rit!
Kwak!
The pickaxe perfectly hit the mark.
And it hit the spot where the Phantom Talisman was attached.
At that.
Seu-reu-reuk.
The phantom clearing away.
Gobang revealing his original appearance with a pickaxe struck in his forehead.
“Hoo-ah-ah-ah-ah.”
Rajix trembling his hands ba-reu-reu.
Well, naturally.
Because he personally struck his comrade’s head.
Teol-sseok!
Rajix dropped the pole pickaxe to the ground.
Teary-eyed, with tears welling up in his huge eyes, he approached Gobang toddling.
“Ho-e-e.”
Rajix tightly hugging Gobang’s head as if sorry for hitting him.
“It is fine. Worker. There is not a single scratch. You may hit stronger.”
“Hoo-e-eng.”
Rajix poured out tears peong-peong with a sorry heart.
Gobang patting such him and assuring him.
“It does not hurt. Do not cry. The warrior knows all of the worker’s heart.”
However, Cossack spoke with a seemingly mocking voice.
“Truly an ugly sight, sir. Are you filming a third-rate tearjerker movie right now, sir? The acting is not good, it is not fun, and there are no tears either, sir.”
“…….”
“Look, sir. It did not even bleed, sir. At minimum, you should have made a hole in Gobang’s skull, sir.”
“…….”
“Do not blubber, sir. You must grow strong, sir.”
“…….”
Hmm.
That’s true.
You should make at least a hole in the head.
So Joo-hyuk stepped forward.
“Let’s switch roles.”
“Switch, sir? Then Bardin…….”
“No. LSSR, Comrade Minister of the People’s Armed Forces Cossack is the role for Apophis.”
“…Yes, sir?”
“Farmhand Rajix is probably hoping for it too?”
“Ho-e!”
“You heard him, right?”
“Uh-uh…….”
Cossack quickly rolling his eyeballs.
Seu-euk.
His foot slid backward.
Looks like he’s preparing to bounce.
“Catch him.”
Seu-seut!
Gwangma blocking his escape route.
Beol-tteok!
Gobang getting up and grabbing Cossack’s leg.
Pa-pat!
Cossack jumped into the sky.
Skywalker.
Gwangma also flew into the sky.
Air-treading Void Walking.
Pa-pa-pa-pat!
He couldn’t get far.
Because Gyeon Dal-rae’s binding talisman stuck to Cossack’s body.
Thus the switched role.
Cossack tied up tightly and starting his snake mimicry.
Of course, with a Phantom Talisman attached to his forehead.
“Hmph! Since it has come to this, I will show you method acting, sir.”
Kyak!
Cossack crawling kku-meul-kku-meul while even flickering his tongue.
Kyak-kyak! Kya-kya-kya-kyak!
“Ho-et?”
Thoroughly startled, Rajix instinctively lifted the pole and struck Cossack.
Pak!
“…Eu-hik?”
Pak!
“Kek? Why d, did you only hit Gobang once and hit me… Uwaah.”
Pak-pak-pak-pak!
The training was smooth.
*
Fierce training for Rajix to overcome his trauma the next day too.
And they also visited the 82nd floor actual combat training ground of the No. 2 Tower again.
Continuous repeated clearing missions.
Hitting the Giant Snake Apophis bigger than a train.
Actually, Rajix still has vivid memories.
How he died inside the labyrinth.
He was swallowed whole just like that.
After bringing his eyes together, with his body frozen and unable to move an inch.
After that it was pitch black darkness.
His whole body melted away in the guy’s gastric acid.
The moment of death.
But a contract proposal came in.
I’ll give you a chance to come back alive again.
Wait in the space of souls, and when the summoner calls you, help him and save the world.
He said he would do so.
To Rajix, the act of helping someone is like an instinct.
He was a worker from birth.
The world of souls.
Others called that place a prison.
He supposes it was.
Because there was nothing he could do other than communicate.
And he met the Summoner-nim.
The short period together with him.
To Rajix, it was the best moment.
Also the comrades.
They treated him equally without discriminating against him.
Even though it was too much, he was recognized as the universe’s great farmhand.
Even a resident of the 17th floor of the White Tower at that.
You say I don’t have to return to the Infinite Prison again?
He thought only living happily and harmoniously was left.
However, a crisis came.
The phantom of the past encountered in the tower.
He thought he forgot it.
He thought there wouldn’t be a time he would meet it anymore.
He was scared.
He wanted to run away.
However, the Summoner-nim who advised him to overcome the trauma.
Then he must overcome it without fail.
Why couldn’t he do it?
There are people helping him like this.
The reliable Barbarian Warrior-nim also proudly overcame his trauma by punishing the Hydra and the scammer who deceived him on the 71st, 72nd, and 73rd floors.
The frail Fairy Princess-nim also eradicated her enemy and saved her master on the 74th, 75th, and 76th floors.
What about the Assassin-nim?
He’s a person who was killed by his own father.
How big that pain is, he doesn’t even dare guess.
Yet he overcame it.
So Rajix vigorously stepped forward.
Apophis tied up and unable to move over there.
His comrades made him into a half-dead state.
To the extent that he’ll die soon if hit a few times.
However, the fear engraved in his soul.
Why is it this difficult to take them one step at a time.
That guy’s bright yellow eyes.
Flickering tongue.
Yet he goes.
At minimum until a distance where the pole pickaxe can reach.
And.
Meom-chit.
“Ho-e-e-e.”
Lifting the pole high.
Kkul-kkeok!
His comrades getting nervous.
Rajix glanced sideways.
The Summoner-nim with anxious eyes could be seen.
I must not cause him to worry.
Closing his eyes tightly.
Hwi-rit!
Kok!
At last, he hit it once.
At the same time.
Clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap!
Rousing applause roaring as if to burst.
“Hurrah!!!”
“You’re doing great!”
“Truly an astonishing blow.”
“Let there be light!”
“Keong-keong!”
“Supply Officer-nim is the best.”
Joo-hyuk meeting eyes with Rajix.
Raising his thumb with a cheok.
‘Ho-e-e.’
Strength surged up boisterously inside Rajix.
Doing it once is difficult, what about twice?
“Hoo-ek!”
He beat it up frantically.
Pak-pak-pak-pak!
Kwak-kwak-kwak-kwak!
What is this?
The Summoner-nim’s words were right?
Dog food.
He doesn’t know exactly what that means, but anyway it must be something extremely trivial.
That’s right.
This guy is trivial.
It’s dog food.
“Hoo-e-ek!!!”
He started threshing.
Hit it as if mining.
Peok-peok, peok-peok-peok, peok-peok, peok-peok-peok.
Hit it rhythmically.
Excitement is rising.
Let’s hit it strongly this time.
After swinging the pole behind his head.
Seu-eu-eu-euk.
Using the core strength built up from mining, herb gathering, and cleaning.
Tseu-pi-rit!
Slamming down strongly.
Kwa-jik!
Rajix’s body shot up high from the rebound of the strike.
“Good, sir. Acting as Gobang’s stand-in was worth it, sir.”
“It would be fine if he learns martial arts too.”
Kwa-jik, kwa-jik, kwa-jik…….
He beat it up frantically.
Summoner-nim, are you watching?
I overcame it.
At that.
[Giant Snake Apophis 1/1]
[You have succeeded in the 82nd floor mission.]
[Reward : High-Grade Mana Stones 82kg]
“…Ho-eng?”
Already?
This is not the time for this.
Before the exit message rings.
De-gu-reu-reu-reu-reu.
Rajix approached the dead Apophis at lightning-fast speed.
The know-how built up while skinning Basilisks and Wyverns all this time.
Swiftly taking out the golden fleshing knife from the subspace backpack.
Seo-geok, seo-geok.
Cutting the epidermis of the guy’s large earthen pot and separating the flesh and skin.
“Ho-e?”
Rajix signaling Gobang with his eyes.
“Ah! Understood.”
Gobang’s hand grabbed the skin.
Rajix stretched out his hand and pointed towards the tail.
Grab and run!
“Ho-ek!!!”
Kung-kung-kung-kung-kung!
Gobang running at a frightening speed.
Jjeo-jeo-jeo-jeo-jeok!
The skin peeling off at the same time.
De-gul-de-gul-de-gul,
Rajix also rolled together.
However.
‘Hoo-e-e-e.’
As expected, lacking time.
I couldn’t even peel a quarter yet.
It won’t work.
Even just this.
Seo-geok!
Rajix cut the peeling skin in the middle.
And putting the cut skin into the subspace backpack.
[You may challenge the 83rd floor.]
[Exiting from the Republic of Korea’s Black Tower (NO.2).]
Spot!
Joo-hyuk and the party who came out to the penthouse.
Clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap!
The applause continued even after coming out.
He perfectly overcame his trauma.
As if that wasn’t enough, he even peeled off part of that guy’s skin.
Rajix also blew out snorts while making that unique expression of his.
His chest puffed up largely.
*
Now the preparations are finished.
Courageous Rajix who overcame his fear.
Everyone together to the No. 1 Tower with the special mission.
Missions popping up consecutively.
[82nd Floor Hidden Mission : Summoned Entity Rajix’s revenge against the Giant Snake Apophis.]
[Completion Condition : Rajix inflicting at least 10% of the maximum health as damage against Apophis 0/10%]
“Are you confident?”
“Ho-ek!”
“You can step on Apophis, right?”
“Ho-ek!”
“Then let’s go.”
“Ho-ek!”
Clear start.
Jji-i-ik!
Tearing the Ticket for Additional Item Acquisition.
[The additional item acquisition effect has been applied. Excluding runes and tickets, you can acquire up to 10 times the reward items.]
A sturdy golden safety helmet.
Flashing eyes.
Footsteps full of determination.
Gripping the pole pickaxe tightly.
“Ho-u-u-u, ho-u!”
Roaring playfully!
Rajix reborn as a warrior.
The summoned entities stuck to the giant Apophis’s body.
Presently, as Gyeon Dal-rae’s binding talismans stuck, one sheet, two sheets, three sheets, the guy who couldn’t budge an inch.
Rajix walked with big strides.
Apophis’s big earthen pot entering the attack range of the pole pickaxe.
The pole pickaxe Rajix swung.
Hwi-rit!
Burst upon Apophis’s skull.
Kwa-jik!
One strike.
Hwi-rit!
Kwa-jik!
Two strikes.
Hwi-rit!
Kwa-jik!
Three strikes.
[Rajix inflicting at least 10% of the maximum health as damage against Apophis 1%/10%]
He cut 1% with three pickaxe swings.
27 strikes remaining.
