Chapter 237

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

The Demon Realm army was almost annihilated.

The green space aircraft carrier equipped with overwhelming firepower flew a few laps around the Demonic Realm and the situation ended.

Eventually, the Demon Realm army dispersed in disorder.

The Great Demons were no different.

The Great Demons dragged around and roughly gathered in one place.

Seeing their chests split wide open, it seemed their hearts had been extracted.

‘Eou.’

Gross.

But I don’t feel sorry for them.

These guys deserve it.

Rather, dying once is not enough.

Even though their hearts were pulled out, the Great Demons were still wriggling.

Tough, so tough.

Is this what immortality is?

Those who don’t die even if they die.

‘……What’s the use of being immortal?’

They’re pathetically weak.

Blown up by Major Bae’s sub-lightspeed bullet, cut by the Mad Demon and Cossack, stomped on by Gobang and Bardin, and frozen by Ten Thousand-Year-ie and Baek Dan-ah.

And yet they live and move.

Perhaps immortality is a kind of curse.

Anyway, there are a whopping 5 Great Demon hearts.

If we make medicine out of all of them, we have to eat it 5 times.

‘I absolutely won’t eat it.’

I’m already feeling nauseous.

‘But what are those guys……?’

Rajix reaching out his hand toward the wriggling Great Demons with eyes full of resolve.

“Ho-e-e-ek!!!”

Cossack cheering from the side.

“Cheer up, sir! dimensional farmhand, you received the adept energy shower, didn’t you, sir? You can do it, sir.”

“Ho-a-a-at!”

“If you can’t do that, you’ll be demoted from Head Servant (Madangsoe) to Stone Servant (Dolsoe), sir.”

“Ho-ek?”

Why are they doing that?

“What are you doing?”

“I’m trying to pack away just one Great Demon to the White Tower, sir.”

“…….”

“If its heart regenerates, we can pull it out again, sir.”

Amazing.

I really don’t know who the demons are.

However, there’s no way a living Great Demon would go in.

The basic principle of Rajix’s subspace.

Everything else goes in, but living lifeforms cannot be put in.

A Great Demon is basically immortal.

They live even if their heart is pulled out.

If their soul is pulled out completely like King Yama did, then maybe.

And what’s so good about a Great Demon’s heart anyway.

It’s not like we’re an illegal organ trafficking organization.

“Worker Rajix also got stronger, sir. He will probably be able to put in living things as well, sir.”

Not a chance.

If he could put in living things, Rajix could do all the tower climbing alone.

Whether it’s monsters or Great Demons, whenever he sees them, seu-seut seu-seut, if he just puts them into the subspace, the mission is over, isn’t it.

“There’s not even a 1% chance it’ll work, so let’s just go.”

“No, sir. Just a little more…….”

It was then.

Tti-ring.

[Returning to Earth No. 675 Black Tower 92nd floor.]

“Eu-a-a, just a little more time.”

“Hu-e-e-e.”

That worked out well.

Spot!

Return again.

Joo-hyuk and the summoned entities moved to the tower.

What about the grade judgment?

[World Announcement : Black Tower (Germany)’s 92nd floor clear grade EX has been achieved.]
[EX Clear Reward : Platinum Badges 2 + 30, a total of 32 are awarded.]

Yes! (As-sa!)

32 badges, and 6 perks!

But right at that moment!

Tti-ring!

[An additional clear record has been discovered.]
[You are entering Germany Black Tower 93rd floor.]

“Oh my?”

Spot!

[World Announcement : Black Tower (Germany)’s 93rd floor clear grade EX has been achieved.]
[EX Clear Reward : Platinum Badges 2 + 30, a total of 32 are awarded.]

What is this?

93rd floor automatic clear success.

It wasn’t over yet.

[An additional clear record has been discovered.]
[You are entering Germany Black Tower 94th floor.]
[World Announcement : Black Tower (Germany)’s 94th floor clear grade EX…….]
[EX Clear Reward : Platinum Badges 2 + 30…….]

94th floor too.

Tti-ring!

‘Surely not again?’

[An additional clear record has been discovered.]
[You are entering Germany Black Tower 95th floor.]
[World Announcement : Black Tower (Germany)’s 95th floor clear grade EX…….]
[EX Clear Reward : Platinum Badges 2 + 30…….]

‘Eating raw (nal-meok) huh.’

The clears too.

And the quantity too.

* * *

The Grand Journey missions from the 91st floor and above proceed in another world, not the tower.

So the tower managers have no way of knowing whether the player succeeded or failed the clear.

However, they can know when the player returns to the Black Tower.

Whether it’s a success, a failure, or a save.

Earth No. 675’s sole Black Tower.

The Earth No. 1,001 player appeared.

[Son of a bitch, he came again.]
[It’s the 92nd floor. It seems he’s trying to carry out the second mission of the Grand Journey?]
[He really acquired a taste for it.]
[Well, he succeeded in the first mission.]
[From the second one onwards, it probably won’t work out, right?]
[Would the Demon Realm and the Great Demons be that easygoing? He absolutely won’t be able to do it.]

No matter how bizarre and extraordinary a Summoner he is, it will be difficult this time at least.

The Earth No. 675 Black Tower managers were certain like that.

And there is something they believe in too.

[Let him do as he pleases. Since in 3 months, that guy’s life will be forfeit anyway.]
[Right, they said an Archangel is coming, right?]
[It seems the main base firmly made up their minds. They said they’re transmitting with maximum dimensional energy injected.]

3 months will pass by quickly.

If they just endure a little bit, the Archangel will hand down divine punishment to the Summoner.

If that guy disappears, Earth No. 675 will normalize too.

Their demoted status will also be restored.

Spot!

The Summoner disappearing from the 92nd floor.

[He went.]
[He went.]
[He’ll come soon, right?]

And.

Spot!

He appeared again.

Since space and time are separated, no matter how much time flows in the Demon Realm, it’s merely a fleeting moment here.

[He came.]
[He came.]
[The mission?]

Cruelly, 92nd floor Grand Journey mission success.

It’s enough to drive someone crazy.

[Th, the second one is a success too?]
[This, damn it!]
[It’s driving me crazy. Really that bastard…….]

But that wasn’t all.

Spot!

93rd floor clear success.

Spot!

94th floor clear success.

Spot!

95th floor clear success.

[…….]
[…….]
[…….]

Just how did this situation come to be?

Simultaneously clearing 4 floors at once?

The Earth No. 675 Black Tower managers lost their words.

What words are needed in this situation?

[Surely up to the 100th floor…….]

It’s possible.

The section from the 91st floor to the 100th floor.

He already finished off the first half.

Of course, the second half will be more difficult, but actually, the difficulty doesn’t differ significantly.

If that Summoner goes up to the 100th floor, this Earth No. 675 Black Tower will extinguish.

The same goes for them.

Since they share their fate with the Black Tower, complete extinction.

The approaching terror.

They were driven to the edge of a cliff.

There’s still about 90 days left for the Archangel to come.

Moreover, it’s not even coming for the Earth No. 675 Black Tower.

The Archangel will be transmitted to the Earth No. 1,001 Black Tower.

To a dimension that still has as many as 146 towers remaining, that is.

[Will the main base save us?]

Not a chance.

Has the main base gone crazy to care about a world with only one Black Tower?

[What do we do?]

The Earth No. 675 Black Tower managers felt like they were going crazy from anxiety.

For them who live while having achieved eternal life, there was nothing as scary as extinction.

[We have to come up with some kind of method.]

Do we have to kneel down and beg?

Please climb up to the 100th floor slowly.

* * *

I didn’t expect it at all.

That I would go straight like this with a free pass up to the 95th floor.

It’s understandable.

From the 91st floor to the 95th floor was probably a journey to catch Great Demons.

In turn.

One by one.

If we had cleared it normally like that, it wouldn’t have been this easy.

Even setting aside the first one or two.

The third, fourth, and fifth stages would have been very difficult.

While their fellow Great Demons are being cleared one after another.

Would the remaining guys have sat still with their necks stretched out waiting, saying “Come quickly and catch me”?

They would have done all sorts of things.

Like mobilizing all the Demon Realm armies at once like this time. Or fleeing to a place no one knows.

But fortunately, we finished it all at once.

Without even needing to re-clear it, that is.

I received the rewards too.

The save tickets piled up in the inventory.

I don’t know if there will be a use for them though.

And the EX grade clear.

Just the additionally acquired Platinum Badges are 128.

A whopping 25 perks.

‘Surely at least one Trait Enhancement Rune will come out from here, right?’

It has to come out.

If it doesn’t come out, I’ll be really disappointed.

Anyway, isn’t there anything else?

Around this time, the notification sound…….

Tti-ring!

It rang.

[Achievement : You are the first player to fully conquer the Demon Realm!]

Right, this is it!

[The achievement reward is provided.]
[The Summoned Entity Latent Power Explosion Whistle is provided to the tower-exclusive inventory.]

An item?

What’s a whistle again?

Usually, achievement rewards were mainly things related to the player’s traits or the White Tower, but an item.

An achievement reward item.

It certainly won’t be an ordinary one.

Effect : Consumes 10 Platinum Badges to make the abilities of 1 summoned entity explode for 10 minutes. Permanent Item (Once per day).
Limit : The summoned entity whose abilities exploded will be forcibly unsummoned after 10 minutes, and designated summoning will be impossible for 10 days. Only possible for summoned entities with a satisfaction rating of 4.5 or higher.

‘…….’

Is it good?

‘It’s ambiguous.’

Ability explosion.

Meaning their power gets stronger.

Since it’s an explosion, they’ll probably get extremely strong.

But 10 minutes.

So it’s ambiguous.

There’s no need to worry about the limits.

The penalty of being forcibly unsummoned, designated summoning impossible for 10 days.

It’s over if they just wait on the White Tower 17th floor for 10 days anyway, isn’t it.

The fact that it actually consumes 10 Platinum Badges seems to be the biggest limit.

Still, it seems I could use it as a hidden card to break through difficulties in a crisis situation.

Anyway, since I received everything I was supposed to receive.

[Exiting the Germany Black Tower.]

Spot!

Joo-hyuk and the summoned entities came outside.

The rapidly recovering world of Earth No. 675.

The grass and trees beginning to grow.

However, if there’s something not here?

That’s precisely people.

It’s regrettable.

If only I could have come here earlier.

I could have prevented the tower collapse and saved the world.

‘These bastards.’

Just thinking about it makes me angry.

“Excuse me, everyone?”

“Please speak, Young Master.”

“The Demon Realm wasn’t much, right?”

“I wanted to die because it was so trivial, sir.”

To that extent even.

“Let’s just do a taste test of the 96th floor and come back. I should check the mission and try using a save ticket.”

Joo-hyuk’s daily allowed clear count is 5 times.

Since climbing from the 92nd floor to the 95th floor counts as climbing 4 times, there’s still one time left.

Going up quickly to the 100th floor.

I’m also curious about what will happen then.

* * *

[You are entering Germany Black Tower 96th floor.]

Now then, where is the world connected to the 96th floor?

It’s not the Demon Realm again, right?

The background changed.

From the 91st floor to the 95th floor was a white waiting room.

Here on the 96th floor is a purple room.

It will definitely be difficult, but I’m confident.

I dealt with Ancient Dragons too.

I dealt with Great Demons too.

The summoned entities who have almost reached transcendence thanks to the adept energy shower.

If it’s with them, it doesn’t matter where we go.

Tti-ring!

The mission popped up.

[96th floor mission : The Grand Journey Towards Completion – Sixth.]

And.

[Will you accept The Grand Journey Towards Completion mission, that sixth stage?]

Shall we go?

It’s just a taste test to the very end.

After confirming whether it’s manageable or not.

If things go well, we’ll finish up to the 100th floor within a week.

“Are you ready?”

“Yep!”

Just as I was about to accept like that!

Cheu-cheu-cheut! A hologram appeared.

“Euing?”

“Ah!”

“Eung?”

“Hmm.”

“Ho-o,”

“You are…….”

“How dare you come here?”

It was the Manager.

That guy revealed his figure in the 96th floor waiting room.

[Player Bong Joo-hyuk-nim, we meet again.]

Why does he keep appearing?

How annoying.

[It is a tremendous surprise. It is a talent that even I cannot measure. There probably isn’t a player like Bong Joo-hyuk-nim existing throughout the entire universe already.]

You only realized that now?

[With handsome looks, outstanding brains, and overwhelming martial prowess, you are a player who has everything.]

‘Did this bastard grease his tongue before coming.’

But it’s still far off.

Compared to the tongue-flicking skills our master of flattery, Cossack, spouts out, it falls far short.

“That’s enough, the reason you came here?”

[Hahaha, it’s nothing else but because I have a proposal to make.]

“…Meaning you want to make a deal again?”

[It’s closer to a favor rather than a deal.]

A favor.

[Will you hear me out?]

Hmm.

The Manager’s proposal.

Well, it’s not just once or twice.

“Speak.”

[I will inform you of the price first. I will give you 100,000 kg of Topmost-Grade magic crystals.]

‘Aigoo.’

Joo-hyuk chuckled (pi-sik) inwardly.

‘Merely 100,000 Topmost-Grades?’

It’s too humble and shabby.

Even just putting a laptop on the auction house gets 1,000,000 kg.

A snort comes out because it’s so ridiculous.

In his own mind, he was probably confident it’s a tremendous price.

Still, let’s listen until the end.

“The condition?”

[Could you not delay the clear of the Black Tower 96th floor for about 100 days?]

Delay it, he says.

[I am not telling you to not clear it. Exactly 100 days, and after 100 days pass, you may clear it.]

Look at this bastard.

What kind of trick is this?

“Why?”

[A problem has occurred in the 96th floor environment. Because an error might occur in the mission success judgment even if you clear it right now.]

Hmm.

There was such an error before.

Right back when that guy abused his authority and swapped the 90th floor and 89th floor missions.

Somehow it sounds like a lie.

There’s definitely another reason.

“…When will you give the Topmost-Grade magic crystals, after 100 days pass?”

[I can give them right now. As long as you sign the contract for the postponed clear after 100 days.]

“And where is the contract?”

At that moment!

Cha-reu-reu-reuk!

Another hologram floating up in the empty space.

[It is an electronic contract. The contract is established if you touch it with your hand.]

“If I violate the contract?”

[Naturally, a penalty would be activated,]

“Aha.”

Interesting.

[Do not miss this opportunity. It is a whopping 100,000 kg of Topmost-Grade magic crystals.]

“Hmm.”

Joo-hyuk pondering… pretending to.

Then.

“There’s something I don’t like.”

[What is it……?]

“You aren’t a physical body. This is unfair. Eh? Always appearing as a hologram all the time. We should make a contract in an equal relationship. Eh?”

[Aha! So you are dissatisfied with that.]

“Very much so.”

[Hahahaha! Please do not worry. This is not a simple hologram.]

“Then?”

[It is a hologram connected to the mental waves of my soul. Except for not having a physical body, it’s practically the same as the original soul.]

“Really?”

[It is not a lie. I swear! This is no different from a physical body.]

Joo-hyuk shrugged his shoulders and said.

“If those words are true, well…….”

[Will you sign the contract for the Black Tower 96th floor 100-day postponed clear?]

“I just have to touch that electronic contract with my hand?”

[That is so. It is simple.]

“Got it.”

Joo-hyuk walked briskly (jeo-beok-jeo-beok) in front of the hologram electronic contract floating right next to the Manager.

And taking out the mallet from his waist.

“You punk!!!”

[…Yes?]

While powerfully swinging the Judge’s Mallet toward the Manager’s hologram.

“You shall confess your own sins!!!”

[Wh, what?]

It was then.

U-ung!

Joo-hyuk’s energy stretching out through the Judge’s Mallet.

Swarms around the Manager’s hologram seu-reu-reuk, and then.

[Ggeu-eo-eo! Wh, what? What is it? Th, just what is this?]

It works!

Caught ya, you rascal!

At some point, Cossack also stuck closely next to Joo-hyuk and.

“Confess your sins right away, sir! Otherwise, you’ll get a taste of fire from this fox imitating a tiger’s majesty Cossack, sir!”

There’s no room for disagreement that this bastard is a sinner.

The Black Tower that destroyed a single world, the manager who is the person in charge of that tower.

Just how sinful of a soul would he be?

All lifeforms on Earth No. 675 died because of this bastard.

But the question was whether it would apply to a hologram as well.

So I surreptitiously probed him.

About what a hologram is.

He said it’s a kind of mental wave connected to the soul.

Then it should work.

Is this an ordinary mallet?

A Divine Artifact King Yama-nim used.

The effect was certain.

Even though he’s a hologram, he couldn’t even budge.

Restraint successful.

Pat!

A video floated up behind the Manager.

That guy’s past and present, that is.

“Oh-oh-oh!”

“Kya-a! It’s amazing, sir!”

“As expected of the Summoner.”

“It was a divine move.”

“This girl is full of admiration.”

“You are wise. Pil-seung!”

“Ho-e-e-e.”

I am precisely Bong Joo-hyuk!

The master of the White Tower 17th floor, Mad Demon’s disciple, Cossack’s friend, dimensional farmhand Rajix’s noble master, Diamart’s target of seduction, the Bong family’s strongest output.

‘…But the video quality is poor.’

Is it because it’s not a physical body after all?

It doesn’t play continuously but cuts off in the middle here and there.

However, several parts could be clearly understood.

Main base, corporation, God (神), dimensional energy mining, and…….

“Archangel?”

What’s an Archangel again?

The opposite of a Great Demon?

Now after all that, even an Archangel comes out.
