Chapter 85

Level 2 Player

Dark Predator

Jin-su and Shin Su-a slept in the tent and ate the food they had brought in advance while living a prosperous life. In that way, a week of time flowed.

‘Huh? Why is it like this?’

The undead monsters no longer increased. Jin-su’s gaze headed toward Demirich. Demirich who had been burning anger vigorously and emitting powerful black magic in streams until just a little while ago had no movements at all like a battery whose lifespan had ended.

‘Could it be?’

Jin-su looked at Demirich with uneasy eyes. However, Demirich only stood still as if he had become a stone statue.

Tak!

Jin-su approached Demirich. From Demirich, not even a speck of black magic was felt. The eye sockets that had been emitting red eye light like blood in streams were also empty.

‘D-dead?’

All the undead monsters annihilated. Nevertheless, Demirich had no reaction.

‘Isn’t he recovering black magic?’

Jin-su waited with an expectant gaze for Demirich’s empty eye sockets to emit blood-colored eye light again.

Crackle!

However, Demirich betrayed Jin-su’s expectation and collapsed just like that, turning into a handful of dust.

[You have achieved for the first time the hard-to-believe achievement of making the gatekeeper of Floor 100 self-destruct due to black magic depletion.]

[Calculating contribution.]

[You have achieved contribution rank 1 with 99%.]

[The title The One Who Made the Gatekeeper of Floor 100 Self-Destruct Due to Black Magic Depletion is granted.]

[The title The One Who Killed the Gatekeeper of Floor 100 by Withering in Suffering is granted.]

[The Skill Book Dullahan Summon is granted.]

[The Skill Book Death Wizard Summon is granted.]

...omitted...

[You have cleared Floor 100. After 99 seconds, you will move to Floor 101. Will you go up in advance?]

[Yes.] [No.]

‘Hollow.’

He thought he would be able to receive undead monster refills for at least a month, or well for two or three months. But to think it only endured a week?

‘Weak guy.’

He firmly believed that it would show stronger tenacity than the black magic bead of the undead hidden dungeon. Is it not Demirich, a higher individual of undead monsters in name?

However, such a belief of Jin-su was betrayed. Demirich could not endure longer than the black magic bead.

Well, the reason was roughly guessed.

‘Probably because he summoned mid-to-high grade undead monsters in large quantities.’

The number of summoned undead monsters was more for the black magic bead, but in terms of quality, Demirich’s side boasted an overwhelming advantage. However, what Jin-su needed was not quality but quantity.

For Blessing growth, how many monsters of the same species were caught was important.

‘On top of that, it does not even give an impossible feat.’

He did receive the first achievement. However, it was a fact that it was greatly inferior compared to an impossible feat.

‘Although it is regrettable, there is no choice.’

It has already annihilated, and what can be done about the result coming out like this?

‘Army Summon.’

Jin-su used the Army Summon skill targeting Demirich.

Saaak!

Demirich was reborn as an Army Summon.

‘Fortunate.’

Since he had the experience of making the undead monster Bone Dragon into an Army Summon, he expected that Demirich would also succeed. But it was a matter of who knows, yet it succeeded smoothly.

‘The loot is also generous. As many as 2 necromancer skill books came out.’

It was the moment when dullahan and death wizard were added to Jin-su’s summon list.

‘Let’s test on the next floor.’

Although the existing power was so solid that it did not seem like the power would rise greatly just because two species of summons were added, it was better than not having them.

Hwaaaak!

Once 99 seconds passed, Jin-su and Shin Su-a moved to Floor 101 along with a cluster of bright light.

[You have arrived at Floor 101.]

[Defeat the boss monster of Floor 101 within 10 days and go up to Floor 102.]

[Time that can be stayed on Floor 101 - 10 days.]

“Let’s move right away.”

“It is a time attack. Got it.”

Jin-su immediately mobilized the summons and started hunting monsters. Since he rested well in the Floor 100 clear mission, additional rest was not needed.

“Leo, Kkami.”

“Nyaaaaang!”

“Kaak! Kaak!”

At Jin-su’s command, Leo let out a vigorous roar and gathered monsters, and Kkami flew into the sky and moved to find the boss monster.

‘I will clear up to Floor 150 with 22 hours 22 minutes 22 seconds.’

Only then will the Blessing grow a bit faster.

“Krrrr!”

“Kyaaaang!”

Dududududu!

Monsters gathered.

“Krrrrr!”

Kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa!

The Bone Dragons emitted breath, and the other summons rushed toward the monsters.

Jin-su summoned Demirich.

Saaak!

Demirich with a pure white body like snow and Demirich with a pitch-black body like obsidian revealed themselves.

‘Show your skill once.’

At Jin-su’s instruction, the 2 Demirich summoned pure white undead monsters and pitch-black undead monsters that resembled themselves exactly.

‘It has been downgraded.’

The number of undead monsters summoned by the 2 Demirich did not even reach 200 combined.

‘At least it is fortunate that they summon mid-grade undead monsters.’

The ratio was too small.

About 80% were low-grade undead monsters, and about 20% were mid-grade undead monsters. The combat power was also significantly weaker than the individuals experienced on Floor 100 a little while ago.

‘Well, even this much is doing the meal price.’

Hwareureuk!

Kwaaaang!

On top of that, the 2 Demirich used even magic attack skills unlike the original.

‘The speed of decreasing is faster than the speed of monsters gathering.’

Currently, Jin-su possessed over-spec that far exceeded the Floor 101 level, so it was a natural sequence.

‘Still, I have to test the obtained skills.’

Jin-su acquired the Dullahan Summon skill book and Death Wizard Summon skill book and immediately tried using them.

‘Is this all?’

The dullahan and death wizard were in a state of being summoned only 1 each.

‘Let’s make both to level 822.’

Jin-su used level fix on the Dullahan Summon and Death Wizard Summon skills. Then the numbers of dullahan and death wizard each increased to 82.

‘Now it will be somewhat usable.’

Jin-su deployed the dullahan and death wizard into combat.

“Krooo!”

The dullahan wearing full-body armor rushed toward the monsters while holding a sword in the right hand and a head with a helmet put on in the left hand.

Kwaaaang!

Crack! Slash!

The dullahan sliced the monsters like straw.

“Uwooo!”

The death wizards linked each other’s mana and cast large-scale wide-area flame-type attack skills.

Hwareureuk!

Kwaaaang!

The dullahan and death wizards swept the monsters with an enormous momentum. However, Jin-su’s expression watching that appearance was not that bright.

‘As expected, level power cannot be helped.’

Although they were showing excellent combat power, it was not that great power. The dullahan and death wizard were mid-grade undead monsters. However, they were far weaker than the Skeleton Knights due to being pushed in level power.

‘It is not that they receive the influence of my stats or Blessing like the shadow summons, nor that they receive the influence of materials like the Dragon Tooth Soldiers.’

On top of that, unlike the Army Summons, they did not become stronger additionally even if the skill level rose. Literally, they possessed the combat power of level 822 dullahan and death wizard.

‘Right now, they are on the stronger side than the undead monsters summoned by Demirich.’

Probably as time passes, the probability is high that the undead monsters summoned by the Army Summon Demirich will become stronger.

‘Regrettable.’

To other players, even that much would be grateful, but to Jin-su it did not fill him at all.

‘Well, it is better than not having them.’

The number of heads of summons plays a role of raising the hunting speed. Although the combat power is lower compared to other summons, there was no problem in running auto-hunt.

***

Jin-su and Shin Su-a released the summons and climbed the Tower quickly. The schedule was not tight like before either.

“It is not a forced march. It is so good.”

Shin Su-a said with a beaming face.

When climbing from Floor 50 to Floor 100, Shin Su-a was hard to the point where dark circles came down to under the chin. However, now it was not. If she just cast buffs one round, the summons caught the monsters on their own.

Although the Stone Golem’s activity decreased sharply, there was no problem in Shin Su-a’s experience supply.

To begin with, the healer class itself does not raise levels by directly hunting monsters. Even if only assisting the combatants, experience can be distributed on its own.

Shin Su-a could obtain experience just by diligently casting buffs on the summons.

Of course, compared to Jin-su, the difference was large. Since Jin-su was the person who summoned the summons and even cast summon-exclusive buffs, the experience distribution ratio had no choice but to be overwhelming.

However, Shin Su-a had no dissatisfaction at all. Gather dust to make a mountain, even if the contribution was small, since the number of monsters the summons hunted was enormously many, experience poured in like crazy.

“I am also comfortable.”

Once leeway was created, Jin-su’s heart being comfortable was the same.

“But right now, isn’t it the appearance of catching almost all the monsters existing on each floor and coming up?”

“That is true.”

Because he scattered the summons and hunted, and on top of that tried to keep 22 hours 22 minutes 22 seconds, the floors of the Tower that Jin-su advanced to were to the point where the seeds of monsters dried up.

“It is fortunate that we did not meet other players.”

At the words Shin Su-a said while smiling, Jin-su felt a small prick of conscience.

‘It is not that we did not meet.’

Through Kkami’s scouting, Jin-su confirmed the existence of other players. The players only got scared and dodged their bodies at the advance of the Bone Dragon that flew in the sky and bombarded the ground, the shadow summons that massacred monsters with a terrifying momentum, and the Dragon Tooth Soldiers, undead summons, and Army Summons exceeding 400.

Since he gave a command not to attack the players, the players did not suffer damage. However, sweeping the monsters was also damage if it was a type of damage.

‘Well, the number of monsters will increase on their own as time passes.’

That is the same for the boss monsters of each floor.

If there is one disadvantage, it is the point that the boss monster that is the clear condition of each floor regenerates immediately, but for ordinary monsters to regenerate takes at least a few days.

‘It is a problem the players can choose.’

If they were those whose clear time was tight, it was a golden opportunity to enter bloodlessly to the place where the boss monster is immediately. If they wanted to climb the Tower step by step while raising levels through hunting, it was fine if they waited a few days.

‘Rather, thanks to me, the player survival rate will rise sharply.’

10 days is not that leisurely time. One of the reasons the most deaths come out on each floor of the Tower was because they could not arrive at the place where the boss monster is within 10 days.

However, thanks to Jin-su sweeping the monsters, that problem was cleanly resolved.

However, the mental of the players who got scared at the appearance of the summons including the Bone Dragon massacring the monsters indiscriminately was something even Jin-su could not help.

‘Now is it Floor 130? Regrettable.’

The Blessing growth speed that had been slow like a caterpillar rose to the level of a turtle from Floor 120 to Floor 129. However, now that was also the end.

‘Although the Blessing growth speed being slow is regrettable, if it proceeds smoothly like this, I will be able to arrive at Floor 150 soon.’

The only thing to care about was Floor 149.

‘It was a survival mission.’

If survived for a week, clearing was possible.

‘There, I will properly grow the Blessing.’

The place of the survival mission of Floor 149 that has to be endured for a week was a snowfield. The extreme cold and continuously falling snow were a threat to survival in themselves.

‘Ice orcs and ice trolls were the main.’

The attacks of the ice orcs and ice trolls that ambushed while lurking in the snow were extremely tricky. The ice orcs continuously attacked as if not giving a gap to rest, and the ice trolls launched ambushes while eating or sleeping.

Really, each day felt like hell.

‘Before regression, I was busy finding the safest place possible and hiding.’

It was a harsh environment to the point where a day felt like a week.

‘Now the situation is different.’

The survival mission of Floor 149 was possible to clear as much as wanted even if moving leisurely like winter camping. The more the ice orcs and ice trolls rushed, the better.

However, what was important to Jin-su was not clearing the survival mission of Floor 149.

‘This time, I must obtain it.’

Dark Predator class change certificate.

It was one of the treasures that made Jin-su able to reach the ranking 2 position among the top-tier players of the Tower before regression.

‘I discovered it by chance while looking for a safe place.’

It was a class change certificate of a unique grade of which only one exists in the Tower, and a class that possessed enormous fraudulent skills.

‘The problem is the compatibility with the Blessing.’

In the worst case, the greatest advantage of the class called Dark Predator might become of no use at all.

‘Is there no choice but to hope that such a thing does not happen?’

First, putting the Dark Predator class change certificate into his hands was the priority.

‘Well, even if acquired, it is not something that can be used right away.’

Jin-su can possess 2 holy-type classes and 2 dark-type classes. However, the holy type was occupied by the Dominating Necromancer, and the dark type by the Reigning Necromancer, one spot each.

Since the remaining one spot of the holy type and dark type has to be left empty as synthesis material for new class skills, the Dark Predator class change certificate could not be used carelessly.

‘In the worst case, I might have to give up adding synthesis skills or choose one of the Reigning Necromancer and Dark Predator...’

Somehow, a feeling arose that the Blessing might present a solution.
