Chapter 252 – Are You Really Going to Fight with That
The 4th floor of the tower.
The Crash Guild called by Michael, the vice chairman of Gagel.
As soon as the 20 guild members of the Crash Guild arrived on the 4th floor of the tower, they headed toward the Black Graveyard guarded by the Black Skeletons and immediately attacked the Black Skeletons.
“Khahaha. Come at me!”
“Knights! Protect the King!”
Clatter. Clatter.
Five hundred Black Skeletons stepped forward to face the 20 members of the Crash Guild.
However, while the average level of the Black Skeletons was 20, the average level of the Crash Guild was 50.
“Hahaha. Breaking these feels great.”
Crunch!
The Black Skeletons were no match for the Crash Guild. An one-sided slaughter continued.
“Retreat!”
The Black Skeletons retreated when they were no match. While the members of the Crash Guild did not have a single scratch, the number of surviving Black Skeletons was about 100.
The Crash Guild was certainly strong.
And,
“Shall we pursue them?”
“No. They must be desperate, so we will rest here for a bit before going.”
“Yes!”
Since they had plenty of combat experience, they dealt with the Black Skeletons leisurely.
At that moment,
“Huh? There was an intact one?”
Crash Guild member Pick found an unbroken Black Skeleton head in the pile of Black Skeleton corpses.
Grab.
When Pick picked up the head of the Black Skeleton,
“You bastard! The great King’s…”
The Black Skeleton shouted toward Pick.
“Shut up!”
Thud!
Pick kicked the head of the Black Skeleton.
Roll, roll.
The head of the Black Skeleton rolled on the floor.
Thud! Thud!
Pick played with the head of the Black Skeleton as if playing soccer.
He did not kill it on purpose. To torment and insult the opponent. That was the typical personality of the Crash Guild members.
“How dare you, the great King’s…”
Without yielding to that, the head of the Black Skeleton spoke its words even while being kicked.
“A king? Pick, bring that over here.”
Zivik, the guild leader of the Crash Guild, showed interest in the Black Skeleton’s words.
“Yes. Understood.”
At the words of Guild Leader Zivik, Pick hurriedly brought the head of the Black Skeleton and politely presented it to Zivik with both hands.
In the Crash Guild, having a high rank meant being the strongest, but it also meant being the most cruel and violent.
Grab.
In that way, Zivik held the head of the Black Skeleton in his hand.
“Hey. Say it again. You said something about the great King.”
“Yes. This is the place where the great King rests. Do not disturb the King’s eternal sleep.”
“So where does the King rest?”
Zivik thought there might be treasure at the mention of the King.
“Intruder! Do you think I would tell you where the King rests?! We are the existences that guard the King’s side eternally…”
“Keke. You tell me very well.”
“What?! When did I?”
“Didn’t you say you guard him eternally? You have already kindly told me…”
Crunch.
Zivik said, crushing the head of the Black Skeleton with his hand.
And,
“Guys, let’s go!”
He began to pursue the Black Skeletons with the guild members.
***
[You have arrived at the Black Graveyard on the 4th floor of the Black Tower.]
[From now on, find and eliminate the cause that threatens the extinction of the Black Skeletons.]
[You have moved from the 99th floor of the tower, the highest floor, to the 4th floor of the tower.]
You have descended 95 floors.]
[Due to the effect of , all stats increase by 95.]
“Wow!”
As all stats increased by 95, he felt a surge of strength throughout his body.
As Se-jun rejoiced in his increased strength like that,
Clatter. Clatter.
“How dare you invade the place where our King rests?! You guys are… you are Onyx?!”
The Black Skeletons surrounding Se-jun and the animals discovered Onyx, who was with Se-jun. The Black Skeletons were armed with rusty swords and shields.
“Knight Commander Philip! Lower your weapons! They are the great Black Dragon and his subordinates!”
Thinking that Cuengi might step forward in anger because they pointed blades at his dad, Onyx hurriedly introduced Se-jun and the animals.
The great Black Dragon?! Philip hurriedly examined Se-jun’s party.
And,
Thud!
“We greet the great Black Dragon!”
When Philip knelt and showed respect,
Thud!
“We greet the great Black Dragon!”
The rest of the Black Skeletons also knelt and showed respect.
Cuengi?
Toward Cuengi, who looked the strongest.
Cuengi! Cuengi!
[Cuengi is not a Black Dragon, but a Crimson Giant Honey Bear! Dad is the Black Dragon!]
“Ahem. Lord Philip, this person is the great Black Dragon.”
Onyx said while pointing at Se-jun to hurriedly resolve the situation.
“I… I am sorry! Great Black Dragon! I will repay my rudeness with my life!”
“It’s fine.”
Se-jun was originally used to such misunderstandings. Se-jun passed it over by speaking indifferently.
Besides, he had come to prevent the extinction of the Black Skeletons, so he could not let them die because of him.
“Tell me the situation first.”
“Yes!”
Philip explained the current situation.
“So you are saying that Gagel sent new guys, and you were heavily defeated?”
“Yes. Although it is vexing, they were not enemies we could defeat with our abilities. That is why we retreated in a hurry to protect the King’s tomb…”
Philip explained the battle with the Crash Guild and the events after the defeat.
As he listened to Philip’s explanation like that,
[You have found the cause of extinction for the Black Skeletons of the Black Graveyard on the 4th floor of the tower.]
[A middle manager quest occurs.]
[Middle Manager Quest: Defeat or expel the 20 members of the Crash Guild on the 4th floor of the tower.]
Crash Guild 0/20 members
Reward: 100,000 EXP, 1,000 Tower Coins
Upon failure: You cannot return to your original location until the quest is completed.
The quest appeared.
“20 members of the Crash Guild?”
Se-jun said as if it were nothing. Just looking at the reward, one could tell that it was not a difficult task for Se-jun.
Besides, Se-jun had fought strong hunters on the 44th floor of the tower. He knew that although he was ignored on the 99th floor of the tower, he was an immense powerhouse on Earth.
“You guys destroy Gagel’s farm. I will handle the rest.”
Se-jun could not attack Gagel’s experience farm because he could not leave a 100m radius of the Black Graveyard.
‘There is only a day and a few hours left until the Black Rabbit’s wedding. I must handle this as quickly as possible and return.’
Since Se-jun intended to quickly deal with the Crash Guild and return, he entrusted the animals capable of long-range attacks with Gagel’s experience farm, which was away from the Black Graveyard.
“Understood, meow!”
Cuengi!
“Kyu kyu kyu. Understood!”
In that way, the animals went up into the sky. Cuengi used telekinesis, and Theo went up into the sky with the help of Iona’s flight magic.
And,
Boom! Crash!
Theo, Cuengi, and Iona began to noisily destroy the experience farm.
“Now. You guys guide me to the place where the Crash Guild is.”
Se-jun said to the Black Skeletons, taking out his weapon, the hoe, from the sub-space warehouse.
“Great Black Dragon… are you really going to fight with that?”
Philip asked, looking at Se-jun’s weapon. The weapon looked too shabby.
“Yes… let’s go quickly.”
Se-jun, who was slightly embarrassed, hurriedly took the lead. If he had known this would happen, he would have brought the Greatsword of Amplification…
Clatter. Clatter.
‘I will guide you!’
When Philip walked hurriedly to stand in front of Se-jun again,
Swoosh.
Five arrows flew aiming at Se-jun.
Se-jun hurriedly tried to avoid them.
However,
“Huh?!”
The thought of having to avoid many arrows made his body’s movements sluggish instead. Se-jun, whose stats were high but had little combat experience.
“Ugh!”
In the end, to reduce the surface area of his body, he curled up as much as possible,
[Talent: Hardness ignores weak attacks.]
[Talent: Hardness ignores weak attacks.]
He avoided three arrows and was hit by only two. Thanks to his talent, there was no damage.
However,
“Why is a human here?”
“Well… that’s good. Since there is only us here. Let’s just handle him and take his money.”
The five members of the Crash Guild, who confirmed that Se-jun was hit by the arrows, thought Se-jun was fatally wounded and leisurely revealed themselves.
***
Kigigigik.
“Garuda of Destruction!”
“Attack!”
Kuoooo!
The remaining dragons fired their breath at the red mist approaching toward the 10th tower according to Stella’s instructions.
And,
Clink.
“Collect.”
“Collect.”
The Black Dragons and White Dragons excitedly collected the Tower Coins that appeared as the Coins of Destruction disappeared.
The task of destroying the Powder of Destruction was annoying and irritating to other dragons, but it was exciting to them.
While the dragons were destroying the Powder of Destruction like that,
Caw! Caw!
A strange sound began to be heard from beyond the Powder of Destruction.
Gooooo.
At the same time, an overwhelming pressure weighed down on the dragons.
“This is?!”
“Why… is this sound heard now?”
The gaze of the dragons began to look beyond the Powder of Destruction.
And,
Rustle.
A black bird that overwhelmed the size of the dragons emerged from the Powder of Destruction.
“The 2nd Seat of the Apostles of Destruction… the Crow of Death… Hal… phas…”
“Damn… no wonder I did not want to stay…”
“All dragons, flee! And survive!”
Kuaaa!
Stella, thinking that she had to buy time, gave instructions to the other dragons and fired her breath toward Halphas.
But that was the last instruction Stella gave in her life.
Caw!
Halphas opened his mouth and fired a dark red beam toward Stella’s breath.
The dark red beam swallowed Stella’s breath and eventually swallowed Stella as well.
And,
……
In the place where the dark red beam disappeared, no trace remained. Under Halphas’s attack, Stella vanished without a trace.
The power of the main body, not just a fragment of the Apostle of Destruction, was not a power a dragon could block alone. At least 500 dragons had to join forces to block it.
“Stella…”
Since Halphas instantly vanished Stella, the dragons were flustered, and while they stuck close to the 10th tower and watched Halphas,
Caw!
Halphas shot a dark red beam toward them once again.
The attack was too fast to avoid, and
“Attack!”
The dragons, having no other alternative, joined forces and fired their breath toward Halphas.
However, the dragons’ breath was gradually swallowed by the dark red beam.
“Kueeegh!”
“Exert strength!”
When Halphas’s attack approached right in front of the dragons’ noses like that,
Woong.
A bright light exploded from the 10th tower.
And Halphas’s attack was extinguished. The 10th tower pushed away the power of destruction.
“Phew.”
Thanks to that, the dragons who barely saved their lives breathed a sigh of relief.
But,
Caw!
Since Halphas kept watching them, they could go nowhere and had to stick close to the 10th tower to wait for support.
***
“Onyx, is that person… really the great Black Dragon?”
Looking at Se-jun hit by the arrows, the Black Skeletons quietly asked Onyx from behind.
But,
‘I can hear everything, you guys!’
It was all heard by Se-jun’s ears. It was humiliating.
“This is all because of you! Move Earth!”
Rumble.
Thus, enraged at the Crash Guild members who gave him humiliation, he used Myler’s hoe to bury them in the ground.
[You have defeated 5 members of the Crash Guild.]
In that way, Se-jun defeated the enemies and,
“Did you see?!”
When he looked back, showing off,
“Huh?!”
Clatter.
The Black Skeletons were all collapsed.
And,
[The Crash Guild has opened the sealed King’s tomb.]
[The sealed King has obtained a living body.]
[The sealed King absorbs the souls of the knights who sealed him to restore his power.]
A message appeared stating that the King’s tomb had been opened.
[The quest is updated.]
[Middle Manager Quest: Defeat the sealed King of the 4th floor of the tower before he fully restores his power, and save the souls of the Black Skeletons.]
Reward: 100,000,000 EXP, 50,000,000 Tower Coins, Salvation of the Black Skeletons
Upon failure: You cannot return to your original location until the quest is completed.
At the same time, the quest was updated.
