Chapter 123

Level 2 Player

Blood White Sword Demon

Jin-su who returned to the start city returned to an ordinary daily life. However, the aftermath of the incident Jin-su caused was truly enormous.

Due to only 1 player, the Sahyeolmun branch in the start city collapsed. The high-level players of Sahyeolmun who came to punish this were annihilated in reverse.

The honor and pride of Sahyeolmun that was positioned in the top tier among the guilds existing on Floor 200 were thrown to the ground and thoroughly trampled.

Sahyeolmun ran wild and spat out anger.

Not only the players affiliated with huge guilds but even the players of small and medium guilds or party scale looked down on Sahyeolmun and ridiculed.

All kinds of mockery ran rampant, such as Sahyeolmun was a bluff, only the size is large but no substance, or they know nothing except going around in groups.

“Damn it! To think I suffer such a dog-like disgrace!”

Kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa!

From the body of the enraged Sahyeolmun sect master Han Man-ok, unrefined crimson force flames burned roughly.

“Find immediately and tear to pieces and kill!”

“If not doing bloody revenge, everyone will look down on our Sahyeolmun!”

“Let’s show the scariness of Sahyeolmun to everyone!”

What was enraged was not only the sect master Han Man-ok. All the executives of Sahyeolmun were in a state of eyes half-turned with anger at this disaster.

“But even if trying to retaliate, we have to know who the culprit is first, right?”

“Yeah. The identity of the culprit is still unknown.”

Sahyeolmun’s biggest problem is not knowing who the culprit who killed the sect members and gifted a large humiliation is.

The known clues are only that he is an Earth origin player, wore black armor covering the whole body, and the probability of being a young man is high.

“How about sealing the start city?”

“He might have already left the start city, so will sealing have meaning? It only wastes manpower for no reason.”

“Even so, it is not a matter of staying still without doing anything.”

“How about hanging a bounty? We might be able to find even a small clue.”

“Whether that will have meaning.”

The executives put out this and that opinions, but there was not even a speck of practicality.

“Everyone quiet.”

At that time, the sect master Han Man-ok who forcibly calmed the anger opened his mouth.

“We hit the Daehan Guild in the start city.”

At the sect master Han Man-ok’s words, the executives made puzzled expressions. Some executives even had the suspicion that the sect master is crazy.

“Sect master, why the Daehan Guild unnecessarily?”

“Although the fact that the overall power of Earth origin players’ guilds is low is true, we cannot touch carelessly.”

“If those guys gather and antagonize our Sahyeolmun, the matter becomes large.”

“By any chance, if you gave such an instruction because that guy used Korean...”

It was an act no different from burning the thatched house to catch one flea.

“That guy stayed still so far and then revealed his appearance on his own once Changseongmun in the start city fell into crisis. Probably it was because he wanted to prevent the matter of Changseongmun wearing an unfair false accusation and seeing damage.”

“Aaa, is that so.”

“The culprit certainly has habits similar to the righteous path guys.”

“If the Daehan Guild falls into crisis because of him, he will clearly reveal his appearance.”

The executives only then understood the meaning of the sect master Han Man-ok’s words. It was a plan of using the Daehan Guild as bait and making the culprit reveal his appearance on his own.

“Um, but what if that guy does not appear?”

“That’s right. If realizing it is a trap and the guy ignores, we have to return empty-handed. Then our Sahyeolmun’s face will be crumpled once more.”

At the executives’ words, the sect master Han Man-ok chuckled and burst into laughter.

“It is fine if smashing the Daehan Guild branch in the start city. So there is no matter of returning empty-handed.”

At the sect master Han Man-ok’s words, the executives’ expressions hardened like stone lumps.

“That is too dangerous!”

“A full-scale war with Earth origin players might occur.”

“If the matter becomes like that, the righteous path guys including Changseongmun will aim for our back of the head.”

“Geomsalmun or Heuklimbang might betray too.”

Despite the executives’ fierce opposition, the sect master Han Man-ok’s expression was overflowing with leisure.

“A full-scale war with the Daehan Guild is whatever, but there will be no full-scale war with Earth origin players, so there is no need to worry greatly.”

“What words are those?”

“I made a deal with some of the guild masters of Earth origin huge guilds. If it is not an attack of a level that completely destroys the Daehan Guild, they will not intervene.”

To successfully conclude this deal, the sect master Han Man-ok saw not a little loss. However, it could not be helped.

“If the true culprit of this incident does not appear and hides, what do you think will happen? Only our Sahyeolmun’s status will continue to be scraped. If there is no enemy, we have to create one and unconditionally do revenge.”

Since the true culprit used Korean, if inflating the rumor, he could sufficiently frame the Daehan Guild as in the same boat.

‘If the force of the Daehan Guild was strong, it would have been a reckless move.’

However, the Daehan Guild was on the weak side in headcount and force itself among Earth origin huge guilds. Although there were strong persons of a level hard to ignore...

‘At best peak level, and the headcount is only about five.’

From the perspective of Han Man-ok, the sect master of Sahyeolmun who possesses more than 10 peak masters and is a super peak master, a force of the Daehan Guild degree was only small fries that can be trampled anytime if only the heart wants.

‘Use the Daehan Guild as bait and catch the culprit. If the plan fails, raise Sahyeolmun’s dropped status even by using the Daehan Guild as a sacrifice.’

This was the sect master Han Man-ok’s plan.

However, it was not perfect.

The sect master Han Man-ok made a deal with some of the guild masters of Earth origin huge guilds, not all. That is why there existed the risk that the fire of the incident jumps wrongly and the war expands.

‘Still, there is nothing bad.’

Anyway, the sect master Han Man-ok has no choice but to stay only about 1 year on Floor 200.

‘If the war becomes large, the things that can be obtained also become many.’

If slightly wrong and the matter twists, Sahyeolmun might fall, but...

‘Then it is fine if going up to Floor 201.’

Since the full-scale war with Changseongmun twisted, he had to cause war in another way and see benefits.

“If understood, move immediately.”

“Yes!”

The executives scattered all at once.

That evening, Sahyeolmun’s top elites moved majestically toward the start city of Floor 200. And among them, the sect master of Sahyeolmun Han Man-ok was also included.

***

Jin-su and Shin Su-a ordered breakfast at the restaurant located on the 1st floor of the inn. Jin-su who finished the order naturally erected a mana barrier.

This mana barrier played the role of preventing the words Jin-su and Shin Su-a exchange when conversing from leaking out.

Since it blocks internal sounds and lets external sounds come in as is, quite high difficulty and picky mana operation was needed. That is why there were not many who can show such skill at the Floor 200 level.

Thanks to this mana barrier, Jin-su and Shin Su-a could easily acquire external information by hearing the chatting sounds of other players while comfortably conversing ordinarily.

“To think the sect master of Sahyeolmun Han Man-ok comes to the start city directly.”

“This is not an ordinary matter.”

“I will have to be careful with the body for a while.”

“It is said that Sahyeolmun went around boasting it is nothing so far. What to do?”

“Would they do a knife fight for only such a reason?”

“What kind of guys is Sahyeolmun. They are guys who sufficiently do so and more.”

“It is better to leave for the next city.”

The players of the start city were not a little agitated at the appearance of Han Man-ok, the sect master of Sahyeolmun, one of the strongest of Floor 200.

“He came to catch the Blood White Sword Demon, right?”

“Of course. If not that, what reason is there for the sect master of Sahyeolmun to come to the start city directly?”

“Well, that is true.”

“The fire might jump to us for no reason.”

“We might have a good spectacle. It is a life-or-death match between the sect master of Sahyeolmun Han Man-ok and the Blood White Sword Demon. We might greatly open our eyes just by watching.”

“But is the Blood White Sword Demon still in the start city?”

“That we also cannot know.”

“But who will win?”

“Naturally Sahyeolmun will win. Did the sect master not bring all the top elite martial artists?”

“The Blood White Sword Demon is also not easy. Did he not sweep Sahyeolmun’s elites literally.”

“That was when there was no sect master of Sahyeolmun Han Man-ok, and now it is different.”

The start city of Floor 200 became noisy due to Sahyeolmun and the Blood White Sword Demon.

“Blood White Sword Demon... Puhup! What middle school 2nd year disease.”

Shin Su-a burst into laughter. And at the same time, Jin-su’s face crumpled miserably.

“Ah! Sorry, Jin-su.”

Shin Su-a forcibly managed her expression.

‘Musung origin guys, is there a dead ghost attached because they cannot attach nicknames. Why are they doing this childishly.’

A nickname of Blood White Sword Demon was attached to Jin-su who collapsed the Sahyeolmun branch in the start city and processed Sahyeolmun’s elites.

Since Musung origin players called him Blood White Sword Demon, Earth origin and Arius origin players also called him that.

‘Since my name was not known, is it natural.’

Since thoroughly hiding the identity, a strange nickname was created.

‘No. These guys would have called by nickname even if they knew my name.’

Musung origin players attached nicknames to players of other dimensions. Also, when mentioning, they preferred nicknames over names.

“But as expected, they came to catch you, right?”

Shin Su-a asked while looking at Jin-su.

“It would be so.”

Jin-su frowned. Although the Sahyeolmun branch in the start city is whatever, if even the elites dispatched from the last city were annihilated, it was enough to give up revenge, yet they were quite tenacious guys.

‘What is that face of theirs.’

Well, it was not that it is incomprehensible. Because if giving up revenge because the opponent is strong, it was obvious that Sahyeolmun’s honor would be slammed to the ground.

‘Just train the street dogs to your heart’s content and go.’

Even if saying Sahyeolmun’s sect master and elites came to the start city, there is no method to find out Jin-su’s identity, so in the end, they have no choice but to return empty-handed. And that will return as a greater disgrace.

“There is no need to care about those guys. Let’s eat quickly and go hunt.”

“Yeah.”

Neither Jin-su nor Shin Su-a cared even a speck about the existence of Sahyeolmun that gathered to the start city. It was not that Sahyeolmun knows Jin-su’s identity, and even if finding out, there was nothing that would become a problem.

‘If dying is such a wish, I will have to grant it.’

If Sahyeolmun finds out Jin-su’s identity and attacks, rather, that day will become the memorial day of Sahyeolmun’s sect members.

‘Those guys came thinking they unconditionally win, but.’

The sect master of Sahyeolmun Han Man-ok had a high name as a super peak master among Musung origin players. The executives of Sahyeolmun’s top ranks were also peak masters the same as Son Sang-hyeok who died at Jin-su’s hands.

Since one super peak master and more than ten peak masters, it was not unreasonable for them to ‘misunderstand’ that they can win whoever the opponent is according to their common sense.

‘Even though I showed an overwhelming appearance when processing Sahyeolmun’s elites including Son Sang-hyeok, to think it is this appearance.’

It seemed there is no assumption itself in those guys’ heads that a strong person above a super peak master might exist.

‘Also, even if the same super peak master, the combat power level is all different according to what class they have. What skills they learned and what the level is.’

They were not considering that at all.

This is not the Musung dimension but the Tower. It is a world where a super peak master can die even to a third-rate martial artist according to player level, class level, skill level, and stats.

Of course, it is not an easy matter.

The probability that a super peak master has lower level and stats than a third-rate martial artist was not that high. However, it was not an impossible matter like in the Musung dimension.

Because there were also cases where an Earth origin player who is not even third-rate level as a martial artist overwhelmingly won against a Musung origin player who rose to the super peak realm with the power of high level and stats and top-tier class and skills.

‘Of course, it was a matter that occurred before regression, and a matter that occurred around the mid-layers of the Tower.’

It was not a matter that did not exist.

‘In the end, the most important in the Tower is not the realm of martial arts but the level.’

Jin-su tried to turn off nerves to Sahyeolmun’s useless acts and concentrate on breakfast.

“It is said that the Blood White Sword Demon is affiliated with the Daehan Guild, is it real?”

“It might be so. Since same dimension origin and same country person.”

“Well, Sahyeolmun would not be preparing an attack on the Daehan Guild without any reason.”

Until some out-of-the-blue sound entered the ears.
