Chapter 129

Level 2 Player

Demon Summon Bracelet

‘Damn, damn, damn. What on earth is the identity of that Blood White Sword Demon guy? An Earth origin player rising to the Flower Realm that even I have not risen to.’

Han Man-ok could not endure the resentment boiling up in his chest at all even while erasing traces and fleeing.

Actually, rising to the Flower Realm degree can be forcibly understood. Because unlike the Musung dimension, the Tower can receive the system’s assistance.

If diligently hunting monsters, raising the level, and luckily obtaining top-tier class change certificates and skill books, even a third-rate martial artist can rise to the Flower Realm in the Tower.

It does not matter even if not obtaining enlightenment or whatever. One can easily surpass the wall of the realm just by catching strong monsters.

He knows. He knows, but...

The unfairness could not be helped.

‘I also thought I am on the quite lucky side.’

Compared to the great luck of the Blood White Sword Demon, he belonged to the side with damn no luck.

‘No, is this a matter that can be dismissed as being lucky?’

Time flows the same for everyone.

Especially in the case of the Tower, the time that can be stayed on each floor is limited. That is why there was no time to pile that degree of strength physically.

‘If the same Musung origin as me, it can at least be forcibly understood.’

Because he might have been a martial artist who rose to the Flower Realm before being dragged to the Tower and becoming a player.

But the Blood White Sword Demon was Earth origin where martial arts and magic do not exist.

He is an existence that has no choice but to grow after climbing the Tower.

‘Is that talent?’

However, there were too many questionable points to say it is because of innate talent.

‘What are that high-level swordsmanship and enormous combat experience.’

He could know because he directly fought clashing weapons.

The Blood White Sword Demon’s swordsmanship was not something that can be unfolded just by obtaining a good class and skills.

Especially in the case of combat experience, it was not the kind of knowledge that can be obtained by being a genius or overflowing with talent.

‘The Blood White Sword Demon possessed the absurdity of seeing him as a one-generation master who founded his own swordsmanship.’

Also, he was richer in combat experience than the old river and lake of the martial world, and improvisation was excellent.

‘Is this a physically possible matter?’

The Blood White Sword Demon was an incomprehensible existence that Han Man-ok could not understand at all no matter how much he rolls his head and rolls it again.

‘To think winning even that demon.’

He could not believe even while seeing with two eyes.

‘That is a living disaster. An existence that cannot be helped with human power.’

If he had noticed earlier, he would not have touched it to begin with.

However, it was too late.

The peak masters Sahyeolmun possessed were a total of 14.

All of them died at the hands of the Blood White Sword Demon. On top of that, even the demon that can be said to be Han Man-ok’s trump card was defeated.

‘I have to go to the last city as quickly as possible.’

He had to secure all the items Sahyeolmun possesses and then immediately challenge the gatekeeper and flee to Floor 201. Then he can shake off the Blood White Sword Demon.

‘Don’t tell me he would chase even to Floor 201 saying he will kill a mere me.’

It would be so. It had to be so.

If the Blood White Sword Demon follows him and climbs the Tower? If he lights fire in his eyes saying he will kill him and searches each floor while going up? He had no choice but to die at the hands of the Blood White Sword Demon someday.

So it had to not be so.

Whoooosh!

A rough wind sound was heard in the ears of Han Man-ok who was diligently moving his feet.

‘What?’

Until now, he looked back in the middle and prepared for the chase of the Blood White Sword Demon just in case. That is why there was no leeway to look up at the sky.

‘That is a demon?’

What entered the eyes of Han Man-ok who looked up at the sky for the first time was the appearance of the demon he summoned through the demon summon bracelet.

‘That guy died?’

He already confirmed that the summon contract was forcibly broken.

‘No. The appearance is different.’

The demon Han Man-ok summoned had bright red blood-colored skin. Also, it was strictly a living being. However, the demon that entered Han Man-ok’s eyes now had an appearance like a well-made statue. On top of that, it was not one but two.

Kuuuung!

The two statue-like demons that rushed from the sky landed on the ground and blocked the front and back of Han Man-ok. And the Blood White Sword Demon revealed his appearance from behind the demons.

“Hiiik!”

The greatly astonished Han Man-ok quickly changed direction to the side at the moment.

Saaaak!

All kinds of curses covered Han Man-ok.

‘This mere curse.’

He activated the skill of the item containing a dispel skill.

Dudududuk!

At that time, a storm of cold energy wrapped Han Man-ok’s body. Naturally, the movements became dull.

‘Did the Blood White Sword Demon use an item?’

At the moment the anxious heart gradually grows larger.

Shuuuk!

Dozens of arrows flew consecutively.

Clang! Boom! Kwaaaang!

Han Man-ok unfolded the protective force with full power and swung the great sword, striking away the arrows flying toward him. However, the hands gradually became difficult.

The continuously overlapping curses gnaw at the flesh and mind. The cold energy makes the body into an ice lump. The arrows flying without rest pierce the protective force and are driven into the body one by one.

“Heok! Heok! Heok!”

Han Man-ok who became a frozen hedgehog appearance spat out rough breaths and looked at the Blood White Sword Demon holding the bow.

“What are you? Curse? Bow? How on earth did you obtain items with this degree of powerful destructive power even though other classes used them! Are you receiving the blessing of the Tower!”

Han Man-ok asked as if interrogating Jin-su with a voice full of unfairness and jealousy.

“Item?”

Jin-su tilted his head.

“Ah, if you think so, it is convenient for me.”

Players can only use the skills of the current class. If changing class to another class, the existing class skills annihilate.

That was the common sense of the Tower.

Even though Jin-su openly used the healer’s curse skills and archer attribute arrow skills, Han Man-ok firmly believed that it is the power of items.

‘The longer one stays in the Tower, the harder it is to break the frame of common sense.’

From Jin-su’s perspective, it was far better if misunderstood like this. Because he would not dig asking how he acquired skills of other classes for no reason.

‘From now on, if such a matter occurs, I will just insist it is item power.’

When Jin-su organized his thoughts like that.

“Not the power of items? Don’t tell me you can obtain skills of several classes at the same time?”

Han Man-ok opened his eyes wide and asked.

“Why are only you that special! Why did you not give such luck to me!”

Rather, if it is item power, the heart is comfortable. Items have levels fixed in the end, and as climbing the Tower, the limit comes.

Yet, if not that? If there is a secret technique that can obtain skills of other classes overlapping?

He was envious. Envious like crazy.

At the same time, he was unfair.

The fact that the owner of that luck is another person, not himself.

“Give it to me too! Give it to me too!”

Han Man-ok shouted like a madman.

“Go well.”

Jin-su raised the Blood-Sucking Sword.

“Hiiik!”

The desire for survival bloomed in the two eyes of Han Man-ok who was wrapped in madness.

“I-I will swear loyalty to you. So please save me.”

Han Man-ok begged Jin-su for life.

“I am a Flower Realm martial artist. Rather than just killing, please use me as a slave. I will offer Sahyeolmun to you. I will write a mana contract. If you desire, I will also write a strength contract or agility contract.”

Han Man-ok desperately begged to live.

‘I have to live. First, surviving is important. There are opportunities as much as one wants. On top of that, if next to the Blood White Sword Demon, I might be able to steal his secrets.’

Han Man-ok was too resentful and unfair at dying just because of the one point of not knowing that the Blood White Sword Demon is such an incomprehensible monster.

‘I am a Flower Realm martial artist. If thoroughly binding with contracts, he can safely use me. So the Blood White Sword Demon will save me.’

In Han Man-ok’s head, the happiness circuit burned like crazy.

Thuk!

“Huh?”

That is why he could not even dream that the opponent would stab the sword into his heart without even a bit of deliberation.

“W-why me on earth?”

Han Man-ok could not understand Jin-su’s choice at all even while dying. If it was himself, he would have thoroughly bound with contracts and then used as a slave.

Why? Because using while alive is far greater benefit than just killing.

“Since there is a method to use you even without contracts or whatever, just die.”

“Crazy guy, there is no way such a method exists...”

Han Man-ok died while cursing Jin-su.

“Why do you not believe people’s words? Army Summon, Army Summon.”

Jin-su used the Army Summon skill before the soul of the dead Han Man-ok scatters.

Creak!

Han Man-ok with a statue appearance made of pure white marble and pitch-black obsidian revealed his appearance.

‘Is it because he is a high-level player who rose to the Flower Realm? He is weaker than when alive.’

But that was a problem that would be naturally solved if the level of the Army Summon skill rises. On top of that, although weaker compared to when alive, since the number increased to two, the overall combat power rather increased.

‘I cannot believe the loyalty oath of a guy who sees other people except himself only as tools.’

Han Man-ok is a guy who treated Sahyeolmun’s executives and sect members as consumables. Even if applying this and that constraints through contracts, he was a guy who would find a way to escape somehow and more.

“You suffered. Jin-su. Sorry for not being able to help at all this time either.”

Shin Su-a said while bowing her head deeply.

“What not being able to help, if not you, I might have missed the demon guy.”

Jin-su smiled and patted Shin Su-a’s shoulder.

“Um, that... Because I intervened then, I also received an impossible feat. Sorry.”

“It is fine to receive. I do not care, so do not mind it.”

Jin-su really did not care. Because he received rewards thickly, and the number of impossible feat achievements was also properly counted.

‘First, let’s secure the items.’

What Han Man-ok left after dying was a skill book.

‘Sahyeol Sword Art.’

It seemed the swordsmanship Han Man-ok learned remained in the form of a skill book.

‘There will be no matter of me using it.’

Jin-su uses a sword, not a blade. On top of that, this swordsmanship was not a general blade but a swordsmanship that uses a great sword.

‘I will have to sell it.’

If a Musung origin player who uses a blade, it was certain that he would buy it expensively. The items the dead Han Man-ok was wearing were also quite high-grade, but there was nothing Jin-su could use.

‘Except for this.’

Jin-su picked up the demon summon bracelet.

[Demon Summon Bracelet - Level 1,569]

-Absorbs and stores the souls of the dead.

-Offers the stored souls as sacrifices and summons a demon that responded to the contract.

-Remaining usable counts: 1 time

‘Absorbs and stores the souls of the dead?’

Jin-su’s eyes sparkled.

‘Does the stored soul have to be used only for demon contracts?’

Army Summon also uses the souls of the dead as material.

‘Can I not activate Army Summon targeting the souls stored in the demon summon bracelet as well?’

Curiosity surged. However, currently, there were no souls stored in the demon summon bracelet. Because Han Man-ok offered all the souls stored in the bracelet as sacrifices to summon the demon.

‘A test will be needed.’

Since monsters are scattered all around, it would not take that long a time.

“Leo.”

“Nyaaaaang!”

At Jin-su’s call, Leo who was sitting on the shoulder of the demon summon let out a wide-area provocation roar.

“Are you trying to hunt?”

“Since we came out anyway, it seems good to do it and go. Cleanup can be done after returning to the lodging in the evening, right?”

“Yeah, there is no way you would just pass the hunting ground. Got it.”

Shin Su-a made an expression of as expected and summoned the Stone Golem, cast buffs, and skillfully finished preparations for combat.
