===================

Rajix was not someone to be looked down upon just because he was a worker.

Since he was SSR, he possessed a fair amount of mana, and the strength of his muscles and core honed through livelihood labor was also not to be underestimated.

Would he not have skills?

Is mining not a skill?

It’s a technique that splits rocks?

Right at this moment, to Rajix, Apophis’s big earthen pot was a mother lode bursting with High-Grade Mana Stones.

Kwa-jik, kwa-jik, kwa-jik!

The pole pickaxe falling repeatedly.

“Ho-u-u-u!!!”

Fear was already far away.

He is not alone.

With his whole body wrapped round and round in the snake’s coil, Gobang drawing Apophis’s aggro alone with a roar of provocation.

Gyeon Dal-rae’s binding talismans and evil-warding talismans, Gwangma, Cossack, and Bardin tenaciously aiming for vital points, Sergeant Be tormenting it with suppressive fire, Tiamat and Geppetto inflicting mental attacks, the Blood Wolf biting its tail and hanging on…….

His comrades are together with him.

The Summoner-nim is also right next to him.

The accumulated damage has already exceeded half.

[Rajix inflicting at least 10% of the maximum health as damage against Apophis 6%/10%]

Tuk!

Rajix threw the pole pickaxe to the ground.

The hand feel isn’t great.

As for a weapon, you have to use what you used to use.

The flashing golden pickaxe taken out from the subspace backpack.

This is it.

The item that can maximize the mining effect.

Is there a need to dare attack from afar?

From now on, it’s ultra-close quarter combat.

Rolling de-gul-de-gul.

Wa-da-da-dat!

After climbing on top of Gobang’s head.

“Ho-u-u-u-u! Earthen pot…….”

Kwak-kwak-kwak-kwak!

Direct pickaxe strikes on Apophis’s head.

Rajix’s butt twitching every time he slammed down.

“Eo-u-ya! A fatal back view of the butt.”

“Our Rajix, universe’s great farmhand Rajix, you are truly magnificent.”

“It would truly be fine even if he learns martial arts. His bone structure is not that good, but he has fighting spirit.”

“I respect you. Supply Officer-nim, pickaxing coming from military rations!”

“Aaah, a man’s powerful pickaxing shakes a woman’s heart.”

“Is the poignant love between a farmhand and the madam not already a classic, sir? Starting today, put meat side dishes on Farmhand Rajix’s dining table, sir.”

Joo-hyuk was checking the mission achievement rate in the meantime.

Finally.

[Rajix inflicting at least 10% of the maximum health as damage against Apophis 10%/10%]

Hidden mission completed.

What’s left?

“Let’s finish it quickly. Let’s go into the wrap-up.”

Ji-i-ing!

Gwangma’s black sword aura.

Ji-ing, ji-ing.

The aura blade dwelling in Cossack’s twin daggers.

Cheol-keok!

Sergeant Be loaded a large bullet, jeol-geu-reok, Bardin lifted the Flail of Radiance.

However, right at that moment.

“Ho-e-e? …Stop.”

Stopping his pickaxing midway, Rajix chirped a squeak.

“Why?”

“Ho-e, the skin.”

“What skin?”

“If we hit the body, it gets damaged.”

“Ah!”

“Ho-e, peel it alive.”

How commendable.

To think he even takes care of this.

The intention to peel the whole skin of Apophis that we couldn’t peel in time before.

A worker down to the bones.

“Hmm, it looks like a guy that also has its own self-skin regeneration ability.”

“Just listen to Rajix-ssi.”

“Yep!”

Apophis fallen into a moribund state.

Already in an unresistable state.

Rajix taking out the golden fleshing knife before anyone knew.

Slicing here, slicing there, and then.

“Ho-eng.”

“I understand. Worker, trust and leave it to me. I will peel it perfectly this time.”

Gwangma, Cossack, Geppetto, and Sergeant Be firmly fixed and held Apophis’s head, and the Blood Wolf, Bardin, and Tiamat grabbed the tip of the tail and pulled it straight like tug-of-war.

Gigantified Gobang moving towards the tail side while holding the skin slightly peeled from the head tightly with both hands.

“Kkeu-eung!”

Jjwa-a-a-a-ak!

The skin started peeling off whole.

“Ho-u!”

Apophis skin, huh.

Snakes are also reptiles like Basilisks.

‘It’s not bad.’

Looking at the color of the Apophis skin, it’s more beautiful and has more outstanding quality than a Basilisk.

Moreover, it’s an enormous size.

It seems it will have many uses here and there.

Come to think of it, it’s been quite a while since I delivered Basilisk and Wyvern skins.

Looks like it’s almost been two months.

‘Should I have peeled the Behemoth’s skin too?’

It’s not that great to look at, but if processed and sold, it seems that could be sold too.

And the 80s floors are the giant monster section.

Because guys bigger and with more beautiful skins than Apophis might appear.

‘I should make time later and visit the company or something.’

Rajix Trading Corp.

It’s a company he owns, yet he hasn’t been able to drop by even once.

Jjwa-a-a-ak!

Apophis still getting skinned.

While struggling like that.

[Giant Snake Apophis 1/1]

[You have succeeded in the 82nd floor mission.]

Clear success.

Even so, the skinning continues.

Jjwa-a-a-ak!

[Reward : High-Grade Mana Stones 10t/ Catalog Expansion Ticket/ Random Rune]

It threw up the reward items.

A whopping 3 items.

[You acquire additional items. The applied target is the High-Grade Mana Stone reward.]

[90t of High-Grade Mana Stones are disbursed to your inventory.]

“…Wow!”

9 times at once, 90t.

To the point that the inventory is almost completely filled with High-Grade Mana Stones.

When swiftly taken out and put down on the ground.

Seu-seut, seu-seut, seu-seut.

Rajix moved them to his subspace bag.

What about the hidden mission?

I have to get the rewards for that too.

[82nd Floor Hidden Mission : Summoned Entity Rajix’s revenge against the Giant Snake Apophis (Completed)]

[Reward : High-Grade Mana Stones 10t/ Random Rune]

This as well.

[You acquire additional items. The applied target is the High-Grade Mana Stone reward.]

[80t of High-Grade Mana Stones are disbursed to your inventory.]

Additional acquisition applied.

This time it’s 8 times.

“Aaah.”

I’m touched.

It can’t be helped.

While climbing up to the 82nd floor, have I ever received such enormous rewards like this?

Basic High-Grade Mana Stone reward 20 tons.

Additionally acquired 170 tons.

190 tons combined.

In addition, one Catalog Expansion Ticket and 2 unconfirmed Random Runes.

But it doesn’t inform me what the Random Runes are.

‘Do I have to check it personally?’

The skinning that just finished.

Quickly into the subspace backpack.

And lastly.

[World Notice : You have achieved the 82nd floor clear grade S+++ in Black Tower NO.1 (Korea).]

[S+++ Clear Reward : 2 Platinum Badges are awarded.]

Even badges.

It was a super, super jackpot.

If the Random Runes pop properly, it’s the finishing touch.

Please, let just one Trait Enhancement Rune pop.

*

Joo-hyuk and the party who returned home.

After doing a batch unsummoning first.

Joo-hyuk entered the 17th floor of the White Tower.

We went through a big event.

Can we spend it like usual?

“Ho-e-e-e? It, it’s high.”

Rajix already receiving tossing in the air from the summoned entities.

“Hoo-e? Ho-e? Hoo-e-e-e…….”

The fluffy furball flies far into the sky and falls again.

Everyone congratulated Rajix.

For his overcoming of trauma.

Corner room alchemist Mari joined in too.

Cha-reu-reu-reu, sending a homunculus instead, she stealthily squeezed into the tossing lineup.

Leaving Rajix like that.

I should settle accounts.

The rewards obtained from this clear.

For now, let’s resolve the urgent things first.

Taking out the Catalog Expansion Ticket from the inventory.

Effect : Adds 5 slots to the status window catalog list when torn and used.

5 slots increased per ticket.

Jji-i-ik!

Tearing and using it immediately.

[The catalog list has been expanded.]

Next is the privilege.

From the previous accumulated 128 badges, since we consecutively cleared the No. 1 Tower and No. 2 Tower, adding 4 makes a total of 132 badges, and 17 physical badges too.

‘Then what about the privilege?’

[A privilege is disbursed for the accumulation of 130 Platinum Badges.]

[Privilege : A Catalog Expansion Ticket is disbursed to your inventory.]

‘…Hmm.’

It is definitely true that the probability was adjusted.

It comes out again when it doesn’t even have to give it.

Well, I’ve folded any expectations for privileges a long time ago.

Jji-i-ik!

Tearing this too and adding 5 slots.

I can perform random summoning for a total of 10 more members.

Now the highlight remains.

2 Random Runes.

Just what came into the inventory?

First of all, taking out one and.

Ba-dump ba-dump.

Checking the information while clutching the trembling chest.

“…Ay.”

A rune that breaks through an SSR summoned entity to LSSR.

I was slightly disappointed, but.

‘It’s okay. It’s a good thing.’

That’s right.

Moreover, this rune doesn’t even have a condition attached to who must use it.

Therefore, implying anyone who is SSR can be broken through.

‘Who are SSR right now?’

Rajix, Sergeant Be, Bardin, Geppetto, and Tiamat.

Among these, Tiamat is excluded.

Why?

Because she’s a turncoat defector.

Since promotion is a separate rune, breakthrough will also likely require a separate rune.

‘Then it’s 4 members.’

Rajix already received 18 badges.

Since badges are guaranteed this time too, he will unconditionally pass 20 badges.

That is, he will soon achieve 25 badges.

He doesn’t need a breakthrough rune.

Anyway, the breakthrough rune is for the purpose of shortening the time by driving all the badges at once.

Then?

‘I’ll give it to Sergeant Be.’

Not right now.

When Rajix is promoted to LSSR and badges are gathered.

It’s time for her to be promoted too.

What will her rank be if she breaks through this time?

Would it be around a Warrant Officer?

Anyway, the next Random Rune.

Please!

I came this far with just luck.

Then it must burst.

That is reason.

Let’s go!

Let’s ride the luck coin.

What will it be?

“…….”

Joo-hyuk didn’t say anything.

Just checking the information, and checking it once more.

‘Hmm.’

Wondering if it’s a dream or not, rubbing his eyes and pinching his thigh too.

‘Huu.’

After taking a big deep breath, approaching the summoned entities who were still tossing Rajix in the air.

“Could you stop for a moment?”

“Yes, sir?”

Only then did Rajix step on the ground.

“Ho-e-ho-e, ho-e-e…….”

Staggering as if drunk, he slumped down on the ground.

“Stop doing it to Rajix-ssi and please toss me.”

What?

The summoned entities tilting their heads.

The Summoner-nim, we can do it for him anytime he wants, but by his personality, he’s a person who doesn’t want such things…….

Joo-hyuk slowly lifted the hand holding the Rune of Trait Enhancement.

Close so it can be seen well, while turning a lap around.

“Heol!”

Cossack noticed it first.

“I-Is that not the Trait Enhancement Rune, sir!”

“Oh my?”

“Wow!”

“Ho-e?”

“As expected!”

“Summoner! My congratulations.”

“The heavens have helped this time as well, sir.”

Deop-seok.

Gobang lifted and embraced Joo-hyuk.

And when thrown up high.

“Eu-hik!”

Tossing starts.

Cha-reu-reu-reu-reu.

Mari’s homunculus wrapped around his body.

It was warm.

“Sound the music, sir! E-he-ra-di-ya!”

The mood is the best.

‘Random summoning can be done later, right?’

After playing excitedly.

And since we succeeded on the 82nd floor, sending the related documents to Director Jeon Gwang-il and.

*

The video of the Behemoth on the 81st floor was already released.

The impression of the players who saw it.

Should I say they were overwhelmed by its gigantism.

It’s like a high-rise building walking around kung-kung on 4 feet while lying horizontally.

You’re telling us to clear that?

Does that make sense?

The undead section was on the easy side.

The good times are all gone now.

The 70s floors were a flower path, though.

I also saw the Behemoth video, but keu-keu-keu, how do you catch that?

You’ll just die if stepped on.

Can’t you hit and run?

How will you inflict damage? I don’t know if we can even chip its health.

Let’s say Behemoth is like that, what about the 80th floor?

The 80th floor wasn’t easy either.

The Nightmare Black Horse, Nightmare.

What kind of monster that guy was had been revealed before that.

As expected, there is only the best player.

Right. He goes up first, delivers information, and even prepares countermeasures.

Can’t we just ask the best player to clear all the towers around the world?

By what means?

Tell him to take our tower just like he took the North Korean tower.

Would that work? Countries have their pride.

Then another video was released.

The monster of the 82nd floor, Giant Monster Apophis.
