===================
Dimensional Energy Storage Control Room.
The Controller was dumbfounded.
They lifted the no-fly restriction?
To think even nuclear explosions were permitted.
It was terrible.
Ultimately, a nuke ended up detonating in the unauthorized personnel restricted-access zone.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu…….
To the point that the shockwave was transmitted all the way here.
It was a nightmare.
The first and worst incident in the history of the Black Tower.
That Summoner bastard.
Despite only being a human, not a God…….
No, what were they doing until he grew that big?
[Retarded bastards!]
The Earth No. 1,001 Black Tower Managers, their fault is huge.
If they had reported it to the higher-ups earlier, it would have been handled in the beginning stage.
Of course, the greater responsibility lies elsewhere.
Precisely the White Tower.
However, no matter how much support there is from the White Tower, this is something that shouldn’t happen.
[Like a damn Minor God (Jap-shin).]
The Minor God bastard ultimately completely succeeded in their investment.
Betting all-in on the Earth No. 1,001 Summoner was effective.
Thanks to that, by drastically strengthening its influence, it severed the rings of restrictions placed on this restricted zone.
A situation that even the God of the main base cannot stop.
Because the Minor God’s logic is more justified.
It also aligns with the laws of causality.
Anyway, the immediate crisis must be passed over.
Thank heavens the Destruction of the Earth No. 675 Dimensional Energy Storage is the guy’s current mission.
However, what about the next mission?
The mission area connected to the 93rd floor is?
It will definitely be the Earth No. 843 Dimensional Energy Storage.
The precious resources that must be sent to the main base might disappear.
Like now, riding the Green Dragon.
Filling up his subspace backpack with nuclear warheads.
While flying in the sky at fast speeds, he will arbitrarily drop nuclear bombs like taking a bird shit.
[Wh, what should I do?]
Fatal results if the Earth No. 843 Dimensional Energy Storage is destroyed.
If comparing to a corporation, it’s no different than a bankruptcy crisis.
To overcome this hurdle?
There is exactly one method.
[The Archangel, the Archangel must come.]
Currently, the means to stop that Summoner with the military force possessed by the Control Room are entirely non-existent.
[Haa-aa-aa…….]
The Controller chewed their fingernails to shreds.
At this rate, they might storm all the way here.
Eventually, the White Tower will assign a mission to destroy the Control Room.
I don’t want to die.
A body of eternal life granted by God.
However, it only means one doesn’t age, if external attacks come in, it cannot be helped.
Must I run away?
Where to?
Right at that time.
A Control Room employee reporting with an excited voice.
[Co, Controller-nim! A dimensional communication has arrived from the main base.]
[Eung?]
A contact that came from the main base.
By any chance?
[…The contents are?]
[That the Archangel will arrive in about 1 hour.]
[Ah!]
It’s a great fortune.
God did not forsake me.
[Hyu-woo.]
A sigh of relief.
[I lived. Now I just have to wait.]
[Hahaha! The one who endures is the one who wins.]
Right.
Hope has sprouted.
1 hour.
Let’s hold out until then.
Leaving aside the 92nd floor, on the 93rd floor the guy will definitely die.
Then everything will probably return to how it originally was.
After eliminating the Summoner, rebuilding the Earth No. 1,001 Dimensional Energy Storage and sucking up energy zzok-zzok is the end.
It will definitely become like that.
Because the Archangel came.
* * *
Shooting one shot of a nuke as a formality and.
The Greenie Bomber heading straight to the mission area.
While on the way, we detonated a few more nukes here and there too.
If we captured a location where demonic beasts were densely gathered.
“Mr. Rajix.”
“Ho-at!”
Oh my, so spirited.
A cold-blooded angel of death to enemies.
Whereas to our side, he’s the reliable dimensional farmhand.
Syu-u-u-u-ung!
Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa…….
Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu…….
Could the monsters on the ground even endure it?
Crushed by the shockwave, melting away in the heat.
When we felt bored, we dropped them.
Nukes are plentiful.
If they were left over, rather it’d be troubling to dispose of them.
In addition, one more core personnel.
The Green Dragon, Greenie Bomber Crackus.
What would we have done without our defected warrior?
Rajix’s subspace nuke dropping is also a possible feat because Greenie is here.
On the other hand, I also felt a feeling of sorry.
Wondering if I’m working him too hard.
He’s an Ancient Dragon-class Dragon in name.
“…Mr. Crackus.”
“Yes, Summoner-nim.”
“Is it difficult carrying us around?”
“Hahaha. Don’t mention it. You are the one who saved me.”
Saved you?
“Didn’t you pull me out of almost being tied to the Black Tower after being tricked by the Managers’ stratagem? That’s why I don’t regret defecting even a little bit. Rather, I like the world of the White Tower too much.”
It makes sense too.
Crackus fully enjoying the White Tower welfare.
He was also a content maniac for movies, dramas, entertainment documentaries, etc.
When there was no work, he was always holed up somewhere just staring at the tablet.
He says it’s to the point he doesn’t need Amusements (Yu-Hui – dragon polymorph journeys).
Saying he regrets finding out about it too late.
“Any thoughts of wanting to return to your homeland?”
“I don’t even want to go near it either.”
“Even so…….”
“I was a Half-Demon Dragon, but if I had stayed there I would have died. And the reason I contracted with the tower in the first place was to escape the world I lived in.”
Ah! Right.
It was like that.
Anyway, thanks to the Green Dragon Crackus, such a comfortable clear became possible so.
“Shall I pin on a Platinum Badge at least for you?”
“Uh-umm, haha, well, for such a thing.”
“If you dislike it…….”
“No. I, I like it.”
Crackus also knows well about the Platinum Badge.
Pinning that means receiving the Summoner’s acknowledgment.
Even Tiamat, who is a fellow defector, is wearing it.
Having it and not having it is a tremendous difference.
The badge was the senior summoned entities’ greatest source of pride.
Do you know what this is?
It’s a mark that received the Summoner’s acknowledgment.
Thus the object of envy.
Yet he says he’ll pin one on him too.
I must accept it unconditionally.
“Where should I pin it for you?”
“Like putting an earring on the ear…….”
“Is it okay if I pierce it?”
“Yep!”
Joo-hyuk carefully stabbed and pinned the badge into Crackus’s earlobe.
“Th, thank you.”
At that moment!
Baek Dan-ah, who was staring blankly at that sight.
“Excuse me, Summoner-nim.”
“Yes?”
“I feel like you said you would pin a badge on me once in the past too.”
“…Ah!”
I completely forgot.
I think I remember too.
“I’m sorry, I’ll pin it right now.”
At that.
“Kkya-reuk?”
Man-nyeon (Ten Thousand Years) also came and stuck out her chest suddenly.
Yeah, well, our Man-nyeon too.
They are twins, so if one gets pinned the remaining one should be pinned too.
Those being greedy for badges aren’t only them.
Kkul-kkeok.
The 7 new summoned entities swallowing dry saliva and unable to take their eyes off the badges.
They also had their own plans.
Joining the advance party list and establishing great merits in tower clears.
Having that contribution recognized and pinning the Platinum Badge, the symbol of ‘trusted summoned entities’, on their chests.
Going from intern to full-time employee.
They only waited for combat to break out.
They would prove their value with all their power.
However, what is this?
Greenie Bomber, nuclear warhead drops.
Even though they had heard in advance about nuclear clears in the soul world…….
Facing it in reality, it’s a truly crazy clear method.
At this rate, the Managers would have definitely broken the rules and violated causality.
“The existing summoned entities were just riding the bus.”
“Right. The dimensional farmhand and the Dragon did everything.”
“What seniors! While not doing any work,”
“Even Rare grades could do this kind of clear.”
“We probably don’t even need 22 people.”
“If it was going to be like this, why did I come? There has to be at least someone getting hurt for me to sprinkle a touch of healing or something.”
“Shh! They’ll hear.”
There actually were people listening.
Jjong-geut!
Cossack, who perked his ears and eavesdropped on the newbies’ conversation.
Heung! Snorting as if he thought it was ridiculous and.
“Wow, you were thinking like that until now, sir? Did you hear it too, Mad old man-nim?”
“Of course I did.”
“Mac old man-nim too?”
“Those kids’ voices were quite loud.”
“The warrior heard it as well, so I am not in a good mood.”
“Actually, it’s not wrong words.”
“Hu-e.”
Cossack with an expression showing his displeasure.
He turned his head and spoke to Joo-hyuk.
“Bong Summoner-nim.”
“…Why?”
Did you get angry from hearing gossip behind your back?
What kind of mental education are you planning to do again?
“Please land us for a moment, sir. I will try personally beating a few to death, sir. Even otherwise I felt I just wasted food (did nothing) too much lately, sir.”
Oh!
Joo-hyuk also twinkled his eyes brightly.
That’s fine too.
His own hands were exactly itching too.
What is the point of keeping the Judge’s Mallet aside?
I must use it frequently and often to get accustomed to my hands.
“Let’s just land for a moment.”
Peol-leok-peol-leok.
Crackus slowly landed on the ground.
“Kya-a-a-ak!”
“Keu-kyak!”
“Keu-reu-reu-reu-reu.”
Monsters flocking in an instant.
“I go first, sir!”
Spot!
Cossack dashing forward.
Jji-i-ing!
Seo-geok, seo-geo-geok!
At the Grand Master’s Aura Blade, the monsters were cut away like sheets of paper.
Gobang also leaped in alone.
Kung-kung-kung-kung!
Walking over and.
Deop-seok!
Grabbing one monster and.
Jjeo-eo-eo-eok!
Tearing it completely in half.
“I am precisely the Summoner’s meat shield!!!”
The Mad Demon?
Leisurely walking the sky with Air Steps while keeping his hands behind his back and then.
Cheu-pit! Cheu-pi-pi-pi-pi-pit!
He ground away the monsters with dozens of crescent-shaped sword unyielding aura (gang-gi).
Pieces of flesh scattering in all directions.
Bardin flew the sky with wings of radiance.
And then, target capture, followed by a rapid descent.
Ssyae-ae-ae-aek!
The shield of radiance detonated upon the monster’s skull!
Peo-eok!
Major Bae’s magic gun also spewed fire.
Fire selector on auto, bullets are small-sized.
Pa-ju-ju-ju-ju-juk!
Pu-pu-pu-pu-pu-puk!
Small-sized bullets alone were enough.
If hit, it exactly became shreds.
Cha-reu-reu-reu-reu-reuk!
Aliamari’s explosive Homunculus also took an active part.
Monsters also have eyes and noses.
Entering through the holes and detonating internally.
Peo-peo-peo-peong! Peo-peo-peong!
The joint attack of Tiamat and Gepet.
Unfolding the Domain of Dreams to instantaneously stiffen the guys, and Gepet sucked out the monsters’ bodily fluids cleanly with blood mist.
Crackus?
Keu-rwa-rwa-rwa-rwa-rwa-rwa…….
Terrifying venom breath.
The monsters couldn’t move a muscle and melted on the spot.
Mackenzie also took an active part with wide-area fire magic.
A white-colored extreme flame fire rain, Fire Storm, Hellfire.
Hwa-reu-reu-reu-reu-reuk, hwa-reu-reu-reuk!
Acrid smoke blooming, and what remained was only lumps of charcoal.
The Ice Attribute Baek Dan-ah and Man-nyeon innocently ran around between the monsters.
That alone was enough.
Just going near them caused them to jjeo-jeo-jeok, freeze up completely.
Gyeon Dal-rae supported her comrades by flying talismans occasionally, El threw magic bombs, and Rajix wandered around here and there sniffing his nose wondering if there’s anything to pick up?
Whereas the newbies?
Actually, they also knew it themselves.
That compared to the seniors they were very weak.
So they joined forces.
7-person party clear.
Tanker, close-combat damage dealer, mage, long-range, healing, evenly arrayed.
About 1 monster was doable to deal with.
However, when 2 more monsters joined and it became 3.
“Do, dodge!”
“Kkeu-a-a-a-ak!”
“Saintess, healing, the healing.”
“What are you doing? You have to pull the guy pouncing on me off so I can at least cast healing!”
“Damn it! The arrows won’t stick in.”
“Chain Lightning… Eu-a-a-a! Sword Demon! Block him.”
“This seat is also, str, struggling (reaching the limit of strength).”
The situation changed rapidly.
Disrupted and disorganized, the collapsing formation.
Magic didn’t work.
Swords didn’t enter.
Arrows wouldn’t stick in either.
How do you catch such guys?
At this rate they’d die here.
“Kya-a-a-a-ak!”
1 more joined again.
3 monsters is already difficult but 4.
Now it’s the end.
Even if they die they’d wander in the White Tower 17th floor as soul states but…….
How could they endure that humiliation?
It was then.
Hwi-ri-ri-ri-rit!
A dull-colored wooden mallet flying while tracing an arc.
Peo-eok!
As it squarely hit the monster’s body.
“Kku-e-e-e-ek!”
With a scream, the monster’s flesh crumbled.
Who is it?
The person who helped them was…….
“…Summoner-nim?”
Joo-hyuk’s mallet that processed the monster returned to his hand.
Again.
Hwi-ri-ri-rit!
Peo-eok!
Again.
Hwi-ri-ri-rit!
Peo-eok!
Like that, Summoner Bong Joo-hyuk who processed 3 monsters in an instant.
“Are you okay? You were very startled, right?”
However, no one could answer.
Merely like mute people who ate honey, just keeping their heads bowed deeply.
Ah-ah-ah!
To think they were summoned entities receiving help from the Summoner.
How do we raise our heads?
It would have been better to die.
Could there be a more shameful thing than this?
Only then did they realize.
They themselves aren’t averagely weak, but absurdly weak.
To the extent that they must receive the Summoner’s care.
“Did you feel it, sir? Just how big the difference in eye level is, sir?”
“Ey, I still expected a little bit though.”
“Serves you right, serves you right. You received help from the Summoner?”
“Ho-a-a-at!”
“Truly trivial. However, I hope you take this matter as a lesson and use it as an opportunity for development.”
The newbies had no room for excuses.
What words do you say in this situation?
* * *
Joo-hyuk and the party flew the sky again.
Now enough with the hand-to-hand combat.
When there is an easier means than that, why go out of our way?
I’m worried about the Newbie Summoned Entity-nims too.
Even now they are keeping their heads bowed deeply with a depressed attitude.
‘Tteut, somehow it looks like I must feed them one Immortal Peach each.’
Starting from the LSSR summoned entities.
For SSR and below, after raising their grades.
The Greenie Bomber flew for a long time.
Flight time alone was several hours.
Then an architecture finally entering our eyes.
“It is a pyramid, sir. Exactly 1 is visible, sir.”
In addition to the monsters guarding the pyramid.
“What shall we do?”
“Let’s process it with a nuke.”
I was planning to do that anyway.
“Mr. Rajix?”
“Ho-eng!”
Syu-u-u-u-ut!
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwang!
Ku-ku-ku-ku-ku-ku-ku···….
[Dimension Energy Storage Destruction 1/1]
Mission complete.
It’s too easy?
No matter if it’s 1 it shouldn’t be like this.
Tti-ring!
[You have destroyed all the Dimension Energy Storages.]
[You have completed The Grand Journey second stage.]
[Rewards are distributed.]
[A bundle of Upgrade Runes for Summoned Entities is distributed to the tower exclusive inventory.]
Euing?
Upgrade Runes?
Moreover it’s a bundle.
Meaning it’s not one but multiple.
Yes yes, I like it,
I like it very much.
The most needed item at the current point in time.
In a way, this is better than the Trait Enhancement Rune.
[Returning to the Earth No. 1,001 Black Tower 92nd floor.]
Spot!
Joo-hyuk and the summoned entities moved all at once to the 92nd floor waiting room.
Tti-ring!
[World Announcement : You have achieved Black Tower NO.1 (Korea)’s 92nd floor clear grade EX.]
[EX Clear Reward: Supplying 2 + 30 Platinum Badges, total 32.]
32 is good.
Let’s try receiving Perks too.
Next?
Is the 93rd floor clear.
Is there any good from dragging time?
Clearing No. 1,001 at light speed up to the 100th floor as well.
So exiting outside and then.
Entering the Black Tower once again.
Spot!
* * *
[Entering the Republic of Korea Black Tower (NO.1) 93rd floor.]
[93rd floor mission : The Grand Journey for Completion – Third.]
[The Grand Journey for Completion mission, will you accept its third stage?]
“Accept!”
Spot!
The third stage.
The environment is similar to before as well.
The mission?
[Main Mission : Dimension Energy Storage Destruction.]
[Completion Time Limit : None.]
[Completion Condition : Dimension Energy Storage Destruction 0/145]
“Again?”
“It is D.E.S. destruction, sir.”
D.E.S.?
“What is that?…Don’t tell me it’s an abbreviation for Dimension Energy Storage?”
“That’s right, sir. I am Cossack, the Alchemist of Abbreviating Everything (Byeol-da-jul – Shortening everything), sir.”
“…….”
Anyway, the third was the exact same mission.
The first was the destruction of 146 D.E.S., the second was the destruction of 1 D.E.S., right now is…….
“It’s 145.”
“It’s 1 fewer than our Earth, sir.”
“Come to think of it, No. 1,001, wasn’t our Earth also 145? It became like that because 1 more increased.”
Right.
It was 145 at first.
It was 146 because a new tower regenerated due to the tower diverging from the Temporary Naturalization explosive surge incident.
If so?
“Is it another parallel universe Earth D.E.S.?”
“It seems to be so.”
“Which numbered Earth could it be?”
Gyeon Dal-rae answered heavily with a dark expression.
“Would the number be important? The fact that a parallel Earth being encroached upon by the Black Tower exists merely makes the heart ache.”
Joo-hyuk also agreed.
How many people are probably dying or suffering due to the Black Tower?
It was incomparably regrettable.
“These bastards, exactly how many Earths are in the middle of an invasion?”
Up to which floor would there have been cleared?
Don’t tell me it’s in the middle of destruction, right?
I want to help.
I must do something before they follow in the footsteps of the No. 675 Earth.
In regards to a method, I just have to find it.
Since there is also a Dimensional Movement Elevator…….
First, complete clear of the No. 1,001 Black Tower to start.
As a result, the White Tower’s influence will become greater and.
Then wouldn’t we be able to find it?
“Let’s shatter it first and see.”
“Yep!”
Right at that time!
Beon-jjeok!
“…Uh?”
A massive pillar of light falling from the sky resembling that distant space background.
“What is it?”
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!
That appearance seemed exactly like a waterfall.
What is it?
Suddenly?
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!
It was unusual.
Because a massive flow of energy was felt.
A moment later.
Ttuk!
The pillar of light disappearing in the blink of an eye.
And in the spot where the pillar of light fell.
“There is someone, sir.”
“It is the form of a person.”
“Wings are attached.”
“…An angel?”
It was so.
The appearance was similar to an angel.
That angel we met in the Heavenly Realm.
Then?
It’s probably the Archangel.
“We finally met, huh.”
Joo-hyuk waved his hand towards the Archangel.
Hello, Archangel, nice to meet you.
With what shall I process you?
Transcendence Summoning? Great Sage Heaven’s Equal’s Hair? Catalog All-Summon? Or all of them?
It’s difficult, difficult.
I’m troubled because there are so many means of response.
