Chapter 126

Level 2 Player

Demon Summon

‘Han Man-ok is the most lively.’

It was not because he is the highest level player and the most skilled among them.

‘A shrewd guy.’

Han Man-ok steadily raised his voice to provoke Jin-su or encourage the sect members. But contrary to that, the movements gradually decreased. He is managing mana and health in preparation for a one-on-one confrontation with Jin-su.

‘If the peak masters are annihilated, Sahyeolmun’s prestige will clearly decrease greatly.’

Probably Han Man-ok weighed the damage Sahyeolmun receives and the benefits he obtains in his head.

‘In the end, he chose the benefits.’

Actually, the wisest choice was acknowledging defeat and begging Jin-su for mercy or fleeing. But then there is nothing obtained and only losses. Contrary to that, if fighting to the end and winning even if all the peak masters die?

‘Han Man-ok can see large benefits.’

He can sweep the points and items Jin-su possesses along with the points and items of the dead peak masters. Just because there are many points, one does not unconditionally become strong.

‘But raising item power is possible as much as one wants.’

Raising combat power by arming with high-level items was possible as much as one wants if only there are many points.

‘The gaze looking at the Baekcheon Divine Sword is unusual.’

It is dyed with greed. Even while being a martial artist who learned swordsmanship, it was certain that he covets the Baekcheon Divine Sword that possesses a skill nullification option.

‘Well, it is understandable.’

The Baekcheon Divine Sword was the strongest divine weapon existing in the Tower along with the Black Heaven Magic Sword Jin-su used before regression.

‘Incidentally, it seems he is also coveting the Blood-Sucking Sword or the Black Dragon’s Cursed Armor Set.’

The reason Han Man-ok prioritizes personal benefits is because he thinks that even if Sahyeolmun’s force decreases and falls, it has no relation to himself.

‘Since he was a guy who had the thought of doing a big hit by waging a full-scale war with Changseongmun and then going to Floor 201.’

Only the target of Changseongmun changed to Jin-su, but it was fine to see that Han Man-ok’s plan is maintained as is. And that plan was not one Han Man-ok established alone.

“Th-this is crazy! We are about to all die like this! Don’t tell me, Sect Master Han! Are you deliberately trying to kill us!”

“To begin with, the super peak master should have been dealt with by Sect Master Han alone! Then the damage would have been far less! You guy Sect Master Han! Are you intending to kill even us and monopolize the spoils!”

“This guy as vicious as an evil ghost! A guy worse than a beast! You are a monster with a human face and beast heart!”

“Let’s retreat! If staying like this, only we die! You Sect Master Han block that guy with full power!”

The more than 10 peak masters who died at Jin-su’s hands were also participants in that plan. Since 2 more died in the meantime, the currently surviving peak masters of Sahyeolmun were only 4.

‘Those guys also have a sense of noticing.’

But it was late even if late.

What does it do to point out that Han Man-ok does not actively step forward after 2/3 of the overall power flew away?

‘Or by any chance, did they deliberately say it now?’

The 4 survivors were guys who, the same as Han Man-ok, were glancing around and moving sluggishly. Probably they might have ignored the deaths of colleagues with the heart of ‘as long as it is not me.’

‘Perhaps once their turn came while doing so, they might be clinging to Han Man-ok.’

To begin with, those guys were in the same boat as Han Man-ok.

‘They are guys with black insides.’

So the thought that it is sufficiently possible came.

“What nonsense is that! I am doing my best! Now you say you will pull out? Are you thinking of releasing the tiger we almost caught!”

Han Man-ok naturally did not accept the claims of the 4 peak masters.

“Heung! Shameless after trying to remove us by borrowing the Blood White Sword Demon’s knife!”

“We will no longer be used by you!”

“You are a super peak martial artist the same as the Blood White Sword Demon! On top of that, 13 peak masters who unfolded the Sahyeol Eight Trigrams Formation did a joint attack! Yet, the fact that the Blood White Sword Demon is alive until 9 peak masters died cannot be understood at all unless it is what you intended.”

“Fight the Blood White Sword Demon immediately! If not, our knives will head toward you, not the Blood White Sword Demon!”

At the shouts of the 4 peak masters, Han Man-ok’s face distorted miserably.

“I will go crazy. Did you guys not also directly experience the skill of the Blood White Sword Demon? I did not deliberately leave the Blood White Sword Demon alive!”

“Heung, are you telling us to believe those words now?”

“We will pull out now!”

“You finish the Blood White Sword Demon!”

“If not, we will not leave you alone!”

Jin-su watched the confrontation between Han Man-ok and the 4 peak masters with an interesting gaze.

‘They are really pulling out.’

The 4 peak masters coordinated and gradually retreated backward.

‘What shall I do.’

Since the number of enemies decreased, Jin-su’s choices increased to 2. It is fine if collapsing the 4 peak masters first according to the original plan and then removing Han Man-ok, or conversely, fine if processing Han Man-ok first and then dealing with the 4 peak masters.

‘Let’s go according to the original plan.’

If the enemies cause division, it was right to actively utilize it.

‘Also, collapsing those four first makes the work easier.’

Chasing one was easier than chasing the four who fled.

Tak!

Jin-su chased the backs of the 4 peak masters trying to leave the battlefield.

‘As expected, he does not actively block.’

Han Man-ok only pretended to block Jin-su.

“Why of all me!”

One peak master who became Jin-su’s target gasped and moved his feet.

Whoosh!

The white force emitted from the Baekcheon Divine Sword extended like a whip and flew toward the target.

“Hiiik!”

The peak master who confirmed the force whip flying toward him quickly turned his body and swung the sword.

Clang!

He blocked once.

Pagaak!

He blocked twice as well.

Boom!

However, three times was too much.

The 4 peak masters scattered in all directions looking for their own way to live, and the Sahyeol Eight Trigrams Formation was already in a released state. And he did not have the capacity to deal with Jin-su alone.

Slash!

“Aaaaak!”

The skill nullification of the Baekcheon Divine Sword activated, and the force whip split the enemy’s body into two.

If Han Man-ok had intervened, the situation might have changed. However, Han Man-ok only pretended to block Jin-su’s attacks. The 3 peak masters who should pressure such a Han Man-ok were also busy avoiding their bodies while a colleague dies.

‘Kkami, monitor Han Man-ok.’

Because Han Man-ok might flee just in case, he entrusted monitoring to Kkami.

Tak!

Jin-su chased the peak masters of Sahyeolmun of which only 3 remained now. They scattered in all directions. The destination was the nearby lodging.

‘They are thinking of avoiding the body to the safe zone.’

Jin-su had no thought of creating troublesome matters for no reason.

‘Black Hand, Restraint Shackles, Thorn Crown, Body Weakening, Twisted Footsteps.’

Jin-su used curse skills and blocked the vision of the 3 peak masters and bound their feet.

“Uek! I cannot see the front! Curse?”

“Damn, there was a companion. Let go of this!”

“Uuk! My head feels like it will break. The body is too heavy.”

It is a curse Jin-su who has mana and mental power stats reaching 1,622 cast directly. The 3 peak masters were in a state where mana, health, and mental power were depleted due to the combat where life and death crossed. Thanks to that, the curse skills properly took effect.

‘If only there were holy type healers, they would not have been hit so emptily. Musung origin players have too strong a tendency to only favor martial artists and look down on other classes.’

Honestly, if healers, mages, and shamans were included in the Sahyeol Eight Trigrams Formation, it would have been far more picky. However, it was fine to see that there are no healers, mages, or shamans in Sahyeolmun who can participate in a fight of this level.

‘On the surface, they pretend to favor them.’

However, since the signs of ignoring are shown implicitly, skilled healers, mages, and shamans had no choice but to be reluctant of Musung origin guilds.

‘There are rarely matters that hurt pride as much as a subordinate with lower level and skill than oneself treating equally or subtly looking down.’

The deep-rooted discrimination against healers, mages, and shamans of Musung origin players could not be completely uprooted even on the upper layers of the Tower. So how severe would the discrimination be on the lower layer Floor 200?

‘Well, thanks to that, my work became easier.’

Slash! Splat! Thuk!

Jin-su easily removed the 3 peak masters struggling under the curse.

‘He did not flee.’

Although he attached Kkami as monitoring just in case, the sect master of Sahyeolmun Han Man-ok did not flee. Rather, perhaps thinking Jin-su might flee, he took a position blocking the escape routes.

“Now only you remain. Let’s end quickly.”

Jin-su said while looking at Han Man-ok.

“Heung! Bluffs do not work. Do not do useless labor for no reason.”

Han Man-ok’s expression was full of confidence. It seems he cannot even make the assumption itself that he loses.

“What on earth are you believing to be that confident?”

Jin-su was purely curious about the reason Han Man-ok is that confident. Since they directly clashed, he would know the fact that Jin-su is on a higher line than himself.

‘Is he doing that misunderstanding that my mana and health dropped?’

However, there existed a large level difference between Jin-su and Han Man-ok that cannot be filled with only that degree.

‘It seems there is one hidden move.’

It seems he is firmly believing in that move. However, Jin-su was not merciful to the degree of waiting until Han Man-ok takes out the hidden move.

Tak!

Jin-su ran forward and swung the Baekcheon Divine Sword and Blood-Sucking Sword.

Kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa!

Pure white force and blood-colored force that bloomed from the Baekcheon Divine Sword and Blood-Sucking Sword burned like torches.

Hwaak!

At that moment, the bracelet on Han Man-ok’s wrist emitted a bright red blood light and created a large magic circle in the air.

‘It is a summon magic circle?’

Jin-su possessed the summoner class and skills. That is why he could quickly notice the identity of the magic circle.

Creak! Creak!

In Jin-su’s eyes, the souls and whites of the dead Sahyeolmun players were sucked into the magic circle.

Whoosh!

Jin-su swung the Baekcheon Divine Sword toward the summon magic circle, and the Blood-Sucking Sword struck down toward Han Man-ok’s head.

Booooom!

However, both the magic circle and Han Man-ok were intact.

‘They are connected.’

The summon magic circle and Han Man-ok wearing the strange bracelet were already the same as one body.

Hwaaaaak!

An existence outside of human revealed its appearance from the magic circle emitting bright red blood light. A huge build reaching 3 meters, blood-colored skin, 4 horns attached to the head, a pair of bat wings, and even a tail with thorns.

‘It was a demon summon magic circle. Did he summon through that bracelet? It is not an ordinary item.’

Jin-su watched the bracelet Han Man-ok wears.

Crack!

At that time, one of the 2 beads located on the bracelet shattered as is.

‘It is a consumable item.’

Seeing that one bead is still intact, it seemed it can be used about once more.

Shuuuuk!

The magic circle that was emitting bright red blood light annihilated. At the same time, the demon revealed its complete appearance.

Kuuuung!

Along with a small vibration, a wave of powerful mana and intense intimidation spread in all directions.

‘Strong. It is not a demon of a level that can be summoned by offering this degree of number of souls as sacrifices.’

Probably it was certain that he has continuously offered the souls of high-level players or monsters as sacrifices from before.

“The summon contract has been established. Contractor, what is it that you desire?”

The demon asked while looking at Han Man-ok.

“That guy’s death.”

Han Man-ok pointed at Jin-su. Then the demon’s gaze headed toward Jin-su.

“It is an extremely easy matter.”

The demon’s mouth opened wide, and saw-like teeth revealed their appearance.
