Chapter 130

Level 2 Player

Demon Summon Bracelet (2)

“Kraaaang!”

“Grureureung!”

The monsters that heard Leo’s wide-area provocation roar gathered from all sides.

“Nyaaang!”

The first to run forward was Leo.

Thud thud thud!

Leo excitedly beat the monsters and made them into a combat-incapable state.

‘Flame Barrier, Flame Hell, Flame Explosion.’

Kwaaaang!

Jin-su also indiscriminately fired magic attack skills. When catching miscellaneous mobs with many headcounts, mage skills were the best as expected.

‘There is no need to even draw the swords unnecessarily.’

Leo sweeps the monsters primarily, and the magic attack skills sweep the monsters secondarily. The monsters that rush in the middle are trampled by Shin Su-a’s Stone Golem.

‘Then shall I try using the demon summon bracelet.’

Jin-su injected mana into the demon summon bracelet.

Saaaak!

Then the souls of the monsters gathered to the demon summon bracelet.

‘Oho.’

To Jin-su who possesses the necromancer class, the presence of the souls stored in the demon summon bracelet was clearly felt.

‘It is possible.’

The souls stored in the demon summon bracelet reacted to the Army Summon skill.

‘But will there be a use?’

The current T.O. of the Army Summon skill was 12.

‘Bone Dragons, demons, Basilisks, Demirich, Orc Shaman, sand worms, Han Man-ok, So Chanseong, variant lycanthrope.’

A total of 9 T.O. were filled.

‘The remaining 3 spots are in a state of being filled with boss monsters.’

He was thinking of immediately replacing So Chanseong and the variant lycanthrope if substitutes come out.

‘On top of that, if the Blessing grows, the T.O. will also increase.’

The currently fixable skill level was 1,222. In the case of Army Summon, the T.O. increases by one every time 100 levels rise.

‘It will have use someday.’

The demon summon bracelet has meaning just by gradually gathering souls. Because if the number of souls stored in the bracelet increases, he will be able to summon a powerful demon and use it when needed.

‘Although there will be no matter of using it in ordinary situations.’

In cases like having to hunt out-of-spec monsters or the clear mission of Floor 2,222 that could not be broken before regression, he might have to use the demon.

‘First, let’s continue gathering.’

Even the souls of ordinary monsters, if continuing to accumulate, there might be a matter of using them someday.

‘But if raising the level, will the usable counts also increase?’

Currently, the demon summon bracelet was level 1,569, and the remaining usable counts were 1 time.

‘It cannot be confirmed yet.’

However, if the Blessing grows more, the level of the demon summon bracelet can be raised. Then there existed the possibility that the usable counts increase.

‘It is a wasteful item to use as one-time.’

Also, there is a high probability that there is a limit value in the number and strength of souls the current demon summon bracelet can store.

‘Because the level is not there for no reason.’

Probably storage of souls above a certain number will be impossible.

‘Souls with too strong power will be the same.’

That was the same for the Army Summon skill.

‘When making the giant thorn boar that is a boss monster the target of the level 2 Army Summon skill, the skill activation failed.’

But there was no need to worry. Because it is fine if raising the level with the Blessing.

‘I obtained one usable card.’

Jin-su smiled and continued hunting. Anyway, since he came out, he was thinking of filling today’s quota and then returning to the start city.

***

The combat between the Blood White Sword Demon and Sahyeolmun that occurred in the start city created an enormous ripple. If Sahyeolmun had won, it would have ended as only a small commotion. Because a newly appeared strong person collapsing to an existing strong person was a very common matter.

However, this time the circumstances were different.

Sahyeolmun, one of the top-tier guilds of Floor 200, collapsed in reverse to only 1 player.

It was not that Sahyeolmun completely fell. Because the main sect of Sahyeolmun was in the last city of Floor 200, and the Sahyeolmun branches existing in each city were also intact. However, since the core force group of Sahyeolmun was massacred, it was the same as fallen.

The sect master of Sahyeolmun and the Sahyeol Sword Emperor Han Man-ok who had a high name as a Flower Realm master went missing after fleeing. All 13 super peak masters of Sahyeolmun died.

There was even a rumor that the Sahyeol Sword Emperor Han Man-ok used evil sorcery and summoned a demon, but even that demon died to the emerging strong person Blood White Sword Demon.

The gazes of the huge guilds existing on Floor 200 all concentrated on the start city. However, they could not act carelessly.

Because it was known that the force of the Blood White Sword Demon is strong to the degree of smashing one huge guild alone due to the fall of Sahyeolmun. Even so, they could not stay still, so the guild masters of each guild dropped instructions to the branches in the start city to somehow find out the identity of the Blood White Sword Demon and recruit him.

The Daehan Guild branch in the start city luckily overcame the crisis of annihilation this time. However, there was no leeway to be relieved. Because an instruction fell from the guild headquarters to find out the identity of the Blood White Sword Demon and recruit him.

“Not all who used Korean are Korean. How are we supposed to find out the identity of the Blood White Sword Demon.”

“Yeah.”

“On top of that, the eyes watching us knowingly or unknowingly increased sharply.”

Because the Blood White Sword Demon revealed his appearance when the Daehan Guild branch in the start city was threatened by Sahyeolmun. Other guilds were thinking that the Blood White Sword Demon might have a relation with the Daehan Guild.

“Perhaps judging that the Blood White Sword Demon is not an evil person, they are moving quite openly.”

“Because he has never killed an innocent person. He also stepped forward when we and Changseongmun wore unfair false accusations and fell into crisis.”

It is not only the huge guilds of Floor 200 that are trying to recruit the Blood White Sword Demon. Even small and medium guilds wanted to somehow find out the identity of the Blood White Sword Demon and form a connection. The hypothesis that the Blood White Sword Demon is an existence with an inclination close to a righteous path martial artist made them even bolder.

Probably if they thought the Blood White Sword Demon is an evil person or madman, they would not have tried to find out the identity this openly.

“But is there no person suspected as the Blood White Sword Demon? We contacted all the Korean origin players who recently arrived at Floor 200 and tried to recruit them.”

“To begin with, there are no Korean origin players we could not recruit, right? Because even those who were affiliated with other guilds on Floor 150, if above a certain level, we recruited all.”

More than 80% of the Korean origin players existing on Floor 200 are affiliated with the Daehan Guild. The players who could not be affiliated with the Daehan Guild were only those with enormously strong attachment to existing guilds or parties, or those whose skill was too low so they did not particularly accept them.

“To begin with, is the Blood White Sword Demon really a player who recently arrived at Floor 200? The skill is too excellent to see it that way.”

“I am also asking just in case because the upper is pressing so much.”

“Is it not that the headquarters only has many things they want while not even helping when we were in a crisis of dying?”

“Do not see it too unfavorably. There were physical limits.”

“Was it really so?”

The players affiliated with the Daehan Guild in the start city were in a state where the sense of belonging to the Daehan Guild dropped a lot due to this matter.

“I do not think so.”

“If they sincerely had the heart to protect us, they should have at least done a force demonstration in front of the Sahyeolmun headquarters in the last city.”

As a result, the gathering of the Daehan Guild players in the start city ended up becoming a place to vent dissatisfaction toward the upper. Once the atmosphere flowed like that, the upper’s instruction to find the Blood White Sword Demon was naturally ignored.

But it was not that everyone ignored the upper’s instruction to find the Blood White Sword Demon.

“Seung-woo, why are you here?”

The Daehan Guild affiliated player Kang Seung-woo came to the branch leader’s office.

“Um... that is...”

Kang Seung-woo hesitated and could not open his mouth easily.

“Seung-woo, what is it that you are taking time like that. If there is something to say, say it.”

“There is one player I suspect might be the Blood White Sword Demon.”

Kang Seung-woo said while tightly closing his eyes. Kang Seung-woo was one of those in charge of recruiting the Korean origin players who just arrived at Floor 200.

“What? Is that real?”

“Yes, I did not report because I was embarrassed, but a while ago...”

Kang Seung-woo spilled the matter of being disgraced while trying to scout Jin-su.

“He went to Changseongmun together with Ak Chanseo?”

“Yes.”

“A newbie lightly blocked Ak Chanseo’s attack and went to Changseongmun saying he will spar.”

“That’s right.”

The start city Daehan Guild branch leader Choi Woo-hyung who heard Kang Seung-woo’s report hardened his expression.

‘It fits perfectly.’

Even if a newbie, he would know that the physiology of the Tower is the law of the jungle to some degree. Also, there is no way he does not know how far a human existence can become base and vicious.

‘Such a person would not have survived even to Floor 200. Yet, he walked into the base of those who can become enemies with his own feet alone confidently?’

Although the fact that Changseongmun walks the righteous path is true, how would a newbie who just climbed the Tower know that?

‘He had confidence in his own skill. Because he thought if they play tricks, it is fine if smashing Changseongmun itself, so he acted like that.’

Also, after Kang Seung-woo met that newbie, the Blood White Sword Demon began activity.

“Do you remember that person’s appearance?”

“It was only a brief moment, so I do not remember accurately. But if seeing the face directly, I can recognize it.”

“First, spill all the information about that player you remember.”

“Ah, yes. First, he looked early to mid 20s, and there was a female colleague who looked the same age...”

Kang Seung-woo squeezed his memory and spilled the information about the player he saw then to Choi Woo-hyung.

“First, keep this information secret.”

“What? Should we not inform the guild members and tell them to find him?”

“You know how many eyes are watching us. First, report to the guild master and then move after receiving additional support. So thoroughly watch your mouth.”

“Understood.”

“If we find the Blood White Sword Demon thanks to the information you provided, a thick reward will be given. Look forward to it.”

“Is that real?”

“Yeah, it is words the guild master said directly.”

“Thank you.”

“It is not even something I give. Whatever.”

Around the time the Daehan Guild caught a clue about Jin-su’s identity.

There was a place that implicitly noticed Jin-su’s identity.

Precisely Changseongmun.

‘It is certain that the benefactor is the Blood White Sword Hero.’

The start city branch leader of Changseongmun Ak Chanseo has experience of sparring with Jin-su. Ak Chanseo clearly remembered the appearance of Jin-su unfolding different swordsmanships each with two swords.

‘Even then, I thought it is not ordinary skill...’

But he did not know it would be that degree.

Ak Chanseo thought Jin-su was about a super peak master. Yet, it was not. The minimum was the extreme of Flower Realm. If catching the maximum, it was an absolute master who rose to the Manifestation Realm.

‘When the branch was driven into a corner, we received the help of the Blood White Sword Hero, so we cannot cause trouble.’

Ak Chanseo did not even convey the sect master’s instruction to find out the identity of the Blood White Sword Demon and report to the sect members.

‘But the sect master is also too much. How can he call the Blood White Sword Hero the Blood White Sword Demon.’

The Jin-su Ak Chanseo saw was a martial artist who walks the righteous path. Yet, it was not a matter of attaching ‘demon’ not ‘hero’ to the nickname of such a martial artist.

‘Also, in a position of having received a favor, how can he try to put the benefactor in trouble, really.’

Ak Chanseo clicked his tongue inwardly.

If there was no Jin-su’s help that day, the martial artists affiliated with Changseongmun in the start city would all have died.

Ak Chanseo was thinking of repaying that favor by keeping silence. But it was not that all the martial artists affiliated with Changseongmun in the start city have the same thought as Ak Chanseo.

Also, it was not that only the branch leader Ak Chanseo can contact the Changseongmun sect master. That is why information about Jin-su was already in a state of being conveyed to the sect master of Changseongmun regardless of Ak Chanseo’s will.

***

Jin-su was spending an ordinary daily life of hunting monsters together with Shin Su-a after the war with Sahyeolmun.

Yet, a completely unexpected guest rushed at such a Jin-su.

“I formally request a spar from you, Blood White Sword Demon.”

One old man with white hair requested a spar from Jin-su who is hunting monsters.

The old man’s appearance was quite bizarre. The height exceeded 2 meters, and the longly grown white hair and beard fluttered in the wind without being neat.

Wrinkles were deeply carved on the face, but the skin itself was pure white like white jade, and the body was also full of muscles that seem about to burst like a bodybuilder.

‘Why did this old man suddenly pop out here?’

Jin-su knew who this old man is.

No, he had no choice but to know. Because the old man in front of the eyes was a party member of the party Jin-su led before regression.
