Chapter 96

Level 2 Player

The End of Greed

‘What should I do?’

‘It is already more than enough time even after re-summoning the summons. Even so, the fact that he is staying still means that guy also has no intention of fighting an all-out war.’

‘If the guild members are mobilized, it seems suppression will be possible. Then that guy will also summon the summons.’

‘There will be more losses than gains.’

The guild masters stealthily retreated backward.

The reason they agreed with the opinion of the Phoenix Guild master Robert was because they thought they could see large benefits without particular risk. However, once it was revealed that it was not low risk high return but high risk high return, their hearts had no choice but to be corrected.

However, not everyone was like that.

Srrrk!

Someone who hid their body with a stealth skill moved behind Jin-su’s back.

‘Arrogant for a summoner.’

Looking at suppressing Robert in one strike, it was certain that there was a hidden move.

‘Probably an item with the power of one-hit kill.’

If careless, he might be hit like Robert.

‘But I do not let my guard down like Robert.’

The Minamoto Guild master Okamoto was the best assassin of Floor 150. So far, no one on Floor 150 had avoided Okamoto’s one strike that was launched as a surprise attack in a stealth state.

‘Resent your arrogance of not summoning the summons. After cutting the limbs, I will capture you alive and use you as a slave.’

For now, he was thinking of cutting the right arm holding the sword that looked like a high-level item first so that he cannot play useless tricks.

Whoosh!

Okamoto swung a dagger toward Jin-su’s shoulder.

Slash!

“Huh?”

A word full of bewilderment burst from Okamoto’s mouth. Because his own arm that should have cut Jin-su’s right arm was wandering in the air together with the dagger.

‘How on earth?’

In the eyes of the surprised Okamoto, the appearance of Jin-su swinging the sword again entered.

Slash!

With Jin-su’s sword that followed again, this time Okamoto’s left arm was cut off.

‘This is a dream.’

In Okamoto’s eyes, Jin-su’s sword path was of a high level to the degree where it could not even be properly grasped with his own level. Also, the speed of swinging the sword was also far faster than himself who uses daggers as the main.

‘How is a mere summoner?’

Even while experiencing it directly, he could not believe it.

‘There is no way. There is no way I would be hit by a mere summoner who did not even summon the summons.’

Okamoto denied reality. But even so, the pain of burning flesh felt from both shoulders did not disappear.

“Aaaak!”

A desperate scream burst from Okamoto’s mouth.

‘To think even Okamoto was hit following Robert.’

‘There is no chance of winning.’

At the appearance of Robert whose one arm was cut and Okamoto whose both arms were cut off, the guild masters lost their fighting spirit and quietly retreated backward. However, Robert and Okamoto who already suffered large injuries were in a state of losing reason.

“These cowardly guys!”

“Kill this guy! Kill him!”

The guild masters ignored Robert and Okamoto’s shouts. However, there were those who could not turn away from the two people’s shouts.

They were precisely the guild members of the Phoenix Guild and Minamoto Guild.

“Guild master!”

“That guy attacked the guild master!”

“Kill him!”

“Waaaa!”

The elites of the Phoenix Guild and Minamoto Guild rushed toward Jin-su.

‘Annoying.’

It was fine even if using curses or magic attack skills. However, there was no need to show all the cards possessed.

Saaaak!

Jin-su summoned the 2 Bone Dragons.

“Kwaung!”

“Krrrr!”

“It is the guy we were going to catch anyway!”

“Let’s go!”

The guild members of the Phoenix Guild and Minamoto Guild were not scared at all even upon seeing the 2 Bone Dragons. However, Jin-su did not summon the Bone Dragons for threat.

Uuuung!

Materialized mana gathered into the mouths of the 2 Bone Dragons and condensed.

Kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa!

The condensed mana exploded, and from the mouths of the 2 Bone Dragons, a pitch-black ray and a pure white ray swept past the players of the Phoenix Guild and Minamoto Guild respectively.

Kwaaaaaang!

Along with a large explosion sound, the guild members of the Phoenix Guild and Minamoto Guild who were running in a straight line disappeared as if evaporating.

“...”

A quiet silence dominated the ground.

“Hiiik!”

Thud!

“Hic!”

The guild members of the Phoenix Guild and Minamoto Guild who luckily survived by leaving the range of the Bone Dragon’s breath sat down on the floor with faces turned white or spat out hiccups.

‘Crazy.’

‘To think the elites of the Phoenix Guild and Minamoto Guild were swept away with one breath attack.’

‘How is the summon that strong?’

‘Is that a Bone Dragon?’

‘If the summon is that much, how much is a real Bone Dragon.’

‘If a real Bone Dragon was in this place, we would all have been annihilated.’

‘I thought of the out-of-spec monster too easily.’

The guild masters were astonished at the power of the Bone Dragon’s breath.

‘It was good that I did not take Robert and Okamoto’s side.’

‘If I did not retreat earlier and stood on the side of the Phoenix Guild and Minamoto Guild and fought together, we would have become that appearance too.’

‘Just imagining it is horrible.’

Especially the guild masters who agreed with Robert and Okamoto’s actions and then felt that the situation was not favorable and retreated felt a deep sense of relief.

On the other hand, Jin-su was also in a state of being not a little surprised at the power of the Bone Dragon’s breath.

‘To think the power of the mana condensation breath is this much. Although the mana consumption was large, it is beyond expectations.’

Jin-su poured more than 90% of the mana the Bone Dragon possessed into this breath. He expected to some degree that the power would strengthen as much as pouring the output usually used divided into three times all at once.

However, the result was destructive to the degree of lightly surpassing Jin-su’s expectation.

‘Instead, a burden goes to the Bone Dragon’s body as well.’

As the price of excessively consuming mana, it was felt that the Bone Dragon’s mana circuit was creaking. If it was a player, not a summon that does not feel pain, it was a situation where it would not be strange even if fainting from overload of the mana circuit and mana exhaustion.

‘The overloaded mana circuit might have completely broken.’

But that was a penalty that applies only to living life forms to the end.

The Bone Dragon that is an Army Summon could be restored if time and mana are invested no matter how much damage is suffered, as long as it does not receive a blow to the degree where the soul that becomes the original annihilates.

“Where are you going so busily?”

Jin-su asked while looking at Robert and Okamoto who were stealthily raising their bodies and trying to run away.

“Hiiik!”

“Uuuu!”

Robert and Okamoto trembled their bodies filled with fear. Unlike when thinking of Jin-su as easy prey and making unreasonable demands with confident eyes...

Currently, in the eyes of Robert and Okamoto, only the emotions of fear and despair were surging.

‘Monster, that is a monster that should not have been touched. Why on earth did I do that kind of thing...’

‘It was not that I should have been swept by Robert’s words. Greed blinded my eyes.’

Robert and Okamoto belatedly regretted their actions, but it was already late. And the ruin of these two was something that would occur someday.

In Jin-su’s memory, the names Robert and Okamoto did not exist. That meant that before regression, they died before meeting Jin-su or fell to small fries with no value to remember.

The Tower was absolutely not a place that was easy enough for those intoxicated with their own power and dyed in excessive confidence and arrogance to continue succeeding.

“You will have to go with me.”

At Jin-su’s words, Robert and Okamoto desperately shook their heads. And they sent gazes of help toward the surviving guild members.

However, the surviving guild members did not move to help Robert and Okamoto. They did not even send pitiful gazes.

Rather, they sent gazes full of resentment and hatred.

‘Why did you stimulate that kind of monster.’

‘If not touched, there would have been no damage at all.’

‘Because of the guild master’s arrogance, I lost comrades like brothers.’

‘Damn guy’s child, if you want to die, die alone.’

From the perspective of the surviving guild members of the Phoenix Guild and Minamoto Guild, it was a natural thing because they suffered damage close to annihilation due to the guild master’s wrong choice and arrogance.

Thud! Puk!

Jin-su struck the back of the heads of Robert and Okamoto and then made them faint.

“Hey, you guys.”

Then Jin-su called the guild masters who had agreed with Robert and Okamoto.

“Are you speaking to us?”

“Yeah, you guys.”

“Why is that? Is there any business with us?”

“Thinking carefully, the fact of chasing and attacking my summons who only ran away without even counterattacking was too resentful.”

“Th-that...”

The guild masters had many things to say. However, the Tower was a thorough world of survival of the fittest.

The guild masters who witnessed the appearance of Robert and Okamoto and the elites of the Phoenix Guild and Minamoto Guild being swept away in an instant only trembled their bodies like prey facing a predator and could not protest anything.

“Does it not seem like I should receive an appropriate amount of points as damage compensation?”

The guild masters who heard Jin-su’s words wrinkled their faces.

‘Damn, to think things would turn out like this.’

‘If we say we will not give, will we not be killed too?’

‘There is no meaning even if resisting.’

‘First, let’s bow our heads and see.’

The guild masters who deliberated for a moment all lowered their tails.

“It is a very right word.”

“Please forgive the rudeness we committed.”

“I am sorry. Really sorry.”

Jin-su received an appropriate amount of damage compensation from the guild masters.

‘This vicious guy.’

‘He cleaned out all our pockets.’

‘To think he even took the guild operating funds.’

Ah, of course, it was only an appropriate amount of damage compensation when seen from Jin-su’s perspective.

From the guild masters’ perspective, it was a large amount to the degree of blood tears coming out.

“That side can just go.”

Jin-su waved his hand toward the guild masters who did not agree with Robert and Okamoto and were carefully watching the atmosphere while deliberating ‘do we have to give too?’

‘Unfair.’

‘To think he only cleaned us out.’

‘Why is he not receiving from those guys.’

‘Those guys also attacked the Bone Dragon.’

Naturally, the gazes of the guild masters who had their points extorted became insolent.

“Why? What, do you have any dissatisfaction?”

In response, Jin-su asked while stroking the head of the Bone Dragon that bowed its head.

“A-no.”

“There is no dissatisfaction at all.”

“Then we will go now.”

The guild masters who had their points extorted under the name of damage compensation were startled and quickly left the place. They did not want to lose their lives by unnecessarily touching Jin-su’s mood after paying the compensation and receiving forgiveness.

“Here, then shall we go too?”

Jin-su grabbed the collars of Robert and Okamoto with both hands and left the place.

***

“Why did you bring us here!”

“Just kill me! I will die if I die, but I absolutely will not submit to you!”

Robert and Okamoto who were dragged in a firmly bound state glared at Jin-su with gazes full of venom.

“Let’s see until when you can say such words.”

Jin-su entrusted Robert and Okamoto to the shadow summons and left the place.

Thud! Crack! Crunch!

The noise of flesh bursting, bones breaking, and crushing burst without rest.

“Quickly kill! Kill me!”

“Why on earth are you doing this to me!”

Robert and Okamoto harbored venom and resisted more roughly. However, there was no way the shadow summons would answer.

“Aaaak!”

“Keok!”

With the continuing beating, Robert and Okamoto’s breaths gradually thinned. No matter how superhuman power and tenacious life force a player has, they are humans made of blood and flesh anyway.

Naturally, if suffering injuries beyond the limit, they had no choice but to die.

‘To think I would die so emptily like this.’

‘It was not that I should have made that kind of choice at that time.’

Robert and Okamoto belatedly regretted their choices, but what had already occurred could not be reversed. Robert and Okamoto felt fear of death and at the same time a sense of relief that they could be liberated from violence.

Hwaaaak!

At that time, along with a cluster of bright light, the intense pain felt throughout the body disappeared quickly.

“Huh?”

“Heal?”

Robert and Okamoto looked at each other. Until a little while ago, the body states of the two people were precarious as if the flame of life would go out. However, the situation reversed in an instant.

It was not complete healing.

There was still no place that did not hurt here and there on the body.

The tingling pain felt from the cut-off arms and the bones and muscles that could not attach properly was painful to the degree of transcending imagination. However, separately from that, once receiving the heal shower, the breath that was gulping became fine, and the flame of life that was going out burned vigorously again.

Thud! Crack! Creak!

At the same time, the sound of flesh bursting and bones breaking rang out noisily again.
