Chapter 32

Red Tiger

Red Fang.

In our language, it means red fangs.

I recalled memories.

Red fang trolls are qualitatively different from ordinary trolls.

Excellent agility and muscle strength is basic.

Regeneration ability is also known to be twice that of ordinary trolls.

Moreover, the biggest problem was their lifestyle.

If saying tribe, gathering in one place and doing group life is general.

But these guys were completely different.

Above rock cliffs of uneven heights.

Lowlands around the lake.

Upper part of coniferous forests soaring high in the sky.

Even some do cave life, it was said.

Exterminating such guys was the goal of the 7th floor of the tower.

I slowly looked around.

“Wide is wide.”

The biggest difference between the 7th floor of the tower and previous floors was the width of the terrain.

The 6th floor of the tower that was the widest until before.

Walking about 1 hour, scanning the entire floor was possible.

But the area of the 7th floor of the tower is 4 times the 6th floor.

Just looking for trolls also takes quite time.

Not simply wide, the point that all kinds of terrains are mixed was also the reason hunters hate.

It would be familiar terrain to red fang trolls.

But hunters needed adaptation every time the zone changed.

‘From the 7th floor, it's understandable that a separate training ground is prepared.’

Hunters affiliated with large companies.

Hunters managed by the state.

In their case, after sufficient practice in a systematically composed training ground, they are put into the tower, it was said.

Definitely attractive conditions.

But I have no interest.

Receiving appropriate support is attractive, but in this case there exist two conditions that must be followed.

Transparently disclosing all information about oneself.

Completely settling existing enmity relationships.

From the company or state position, it was a problem that could be sufficiently demanded.

Since it would be a part directly connected to their interests.

But from my position, they are too fatal conditions.

The moment disclosing identity, the room to get involved in unnecessary problems was thick.

Forgetting the grudge relationship was unimaginable.

Lee Taesik who almost imprisoned the nephew me for 8 years to take care of his interests.

Rather die if dying, no thought of forgiving the guy at all.

Step. Step.

Moving steps while continuing thoughts for a while.

Red dots started floating one by one on the board.

Read the terrain features with the Detection skill.

The terrain sinks deeply, and a wide lake unfolds downward.

Since the side I'm approaching is high ground, quite advantageous in terms of securing vision.

But when actually going down toward the lake, the story changes.

A swamp zone where feet sink deeply to the pelvis.

Not approaching the lake and dealing with the enemy would be best, but even that isn't easy.

The range of the lowland is too wide, so impossible to strike the enemy with magic.

The terrain is also completely open, so there was plenty of room for the guys to dodge.

“Well···.”

It wasn't a situation that would particularly be a problem for me.

If an ordinary hunter, would struggle to somehow reduce movement restrictions but I didn't need to do so.

“Just freeze the floor and it's done?”

Without even the need to find a gentle path, I grabbed the cliff with Mana Thread and came down to the lowland.

Immediately unfolded sticky swamp zone.

Froze the floor with the Freezing skill.

Pazzzz.

Leisurely walked the frozen ice sheet.

The anti-slip function of the fur boots prepared for the snowfield zone northwest of the labyrinth shone.

In fact, moving with Mana Thread is enough.

To raise physical ability as much as possible, I was using the body as much as possible.

Walking above the ice sheet like that for a while.

“Krrr···!!”

One red fang troll detected me.

Detection distance, 1km.

Similar level to labyrinth owlbear.

But physical ability is known to be one level above so couldn't let my guard down.

Just how will the guy approach.

Inwardly curious, but in that direction no difference from existing trolls.

A straight charge overtrusting strong physical ability.

From far away, two huge trolls exceeding 3m height start charging.

Calmly staring at the guys.

When the guys approached about 50m distance, I used the skill.

Chajajak!

Froze around the ankles that sank into the ground.

Trolls that lost balance and fell with the charging speed as is.

Suddenly water streams soared in one go from the left and right of the guys.

Crack!!!!

Hydro Cannon skill roughly struck the guys' heads.

Heads that burst like watermelons from enormous water pressure.

Bright red blood fountains spewed in all directions.

“...Works well.”

Was it because rising to the maximum level.

Easily subdued red fang trolls with only low hierarchy skills.

Ah, of course didn't die as is.

Refreshingly blew the regenerating head with Red Arrow.

Holy light dwelling in the flame flashed, and the body that lost regeneration power turned into ash lumps and scattered in the wind.

[You have defeated the red fang troll]

[[Transcendence (EX) ability manifests]

···

..

.

[You have achieved Level 140]

Manifestation of the Transcendence trait.

This time also succeeded in reaching level 140 in one go.

Suddenly I unknowingly inhaled deeply.

Intense refreshing feeling that pushed into the body.

A feeling of the mana inside the tower being sucked into the body along the inhale.

Cool energy passed through the lungs and spread to the blood vessels of the whole body, then finally soared to the crown.

“Umm···!!”

A strange pleasure felt for the first time in life.

While lightly shaking the shoulders, change came in an instant.

Surrounding movement momentarily slowed.

Heart pulse subsided.

Even so, the flow of mana circulating inside the body became more intense.

Just how much stronger.

Using the Freezing skill, the swamp zone froze in an instant.

Beyond the existing 50m range, to 100m.

Pouring additional energy, cold air spread centered on me.

Chajajajajak!

Cold air that whirled and fiercely burst.

Made the swamp zone of 100m diameter range freeze in one go.

Land that instantly turned into an ice sheet.

Even so, mental strength doesn't shake at all.

“Has the spirit thread itself also strengthened sufficiently···.”

It was intuitively felt.

The two most important things for a mage.

Mental strength and mana were enormously strengthened.

Not only the destructive power of skills, but the Detection skill was also strengthened.

An enormous level cognitive range that would easily be 3km.

As the entire swamp zone was sucked into the sensory range, red dots that weren't recognized floated one by one on the board.

Then numerous sensations and information swept in the head.

Closing eyes and adapting to the change for a while.

“Huu.”

Finally let out a deep sigh and opened eyes.

Feeling the mana sweeping the whole body like a raging tide, I clearly realized.

“This is really broken.”

Can advance forward.

The body recovered to some extent, and money needed for survival was also prepared quite a bit.

Unlock the level limit with tower clear.

If stacking points steadily in the labyrinth.

It was clear that growth would be at a speed incomparable to others.

Also no reason to throw oneself into the dangerous labyrinth for level up like other hunters.

Shouldn't be too leisurely, but no need to excessively pressure oneself either.

The fact that time is on my side was too certain.

“Shall we go.”

Leisurely walked the frozen swamp zone.

Approaching to 1km, three trolls charging while letting out shrieks.

Froze the feet with Freezing, and stuck earth spears into the heads of the falling guys.

Pueok!!!

Three heads that burst simultaneously.

Before even starting recovery, crimson Red Arrow refreshingly pierced the body.

Trolls that instantly turned to powder.

Massacring trolls refreshingly in the same way for a while.

Not long after, the red dots on the board cleanly disappeared.

The next zone is coniferous forest.

A place famous for the head being crushed by the club of a vertically dropping troll while walking the forest path without much thought.

But it didn't apply to me.

“Kaaaaaaaaak!”

A troll that kicked the tree falls while letting out a shriek.

Lightly arranged the robe, and threw Wind Cutter.

Compressed wind blade cutting the air for a while.

A fierce cutting sound rings.

Sarak! Sarak!

Troll quartered in the empty air.

First a large lump of meat falls, then blood and innards pour like rain.

After appropriately blocking large lumps with the Wind Shield skill.

The remaining contaminants were cleanly processed by the automatic purification function of Nizen's Robe.

Whoosh!

Meat lumps trying to revive, just burn with Fireball.

The number of trolls lurking above the trees decreased in an instant.

To other hunters the 7th floor of the tower is like a nightmare, but to me it didn't particularly become a threat.

Like that, passed the forest zone without issue.

Looking at the rock zone unfolded before my eyes as the last terrain, I scratched my chin.

“Shall we go refreshingly.”

Anyway there was a need to confirm at least once.

Inside the huge cavity of the crystal cave.

Just how far has the extreme shape transformation used on the snow wood monster developed.

Floated flame, and increased the size.

Fire energy fiercely sucked into the flame that expanded in an instant.

Flame Burst skill condensed to the maximum floated in the empty air.

Fwoooosh!

Not only the size of the flame.

Freshly realizing the fact that the heat rotating inside became a layer rougher.

Threw the flame with strength toward the huge stone mountain unfolded before my eyes.

The front flashing crimson for a while.

A huge explosion burst from the side of the stone mountain.

Kuwaaaaaang!!!!!

Heat pushing hot even at a distance easily 500m away.

Quietly stared at the flame spreading disorderly in all directions.

Don't control.

The nature of flame is destruction.

What I have to do is open the path wide and make the flame run wild as it pleases.

Kururururu!!

The flame howled like a beast.

A huge flame ran the refreshingly opened space, and not long after formed a shape.

A huge beast's front paw.

Above that, legs and body, even head.

One huge tiger revealed its appearance.

‘...This crazy.’

Red Flame.

Among them, the extreme meaning of shape transformation that draws the target existing in the mage's head with flame.

The huge red tiger that appeared before my eyes is proving that I achieved it.

Although perfectly drawing out the characteristics of the tiger that floated in the empty air would be another problem.

Just the fact of approaching one step closer to the peak of shape transformation made the heart pound madly.

“Krrrrrr···!!”

The huge flame tiger howled threateningly.

Fire energy madly sweeping around.

Even trolls not yet swept by the flame, frozen and blankly staring at the empty air.

Suddenly the front paw the red tiger swung struck the stone mountain.

Kwaaaaang!!

Rocks roughly burst, and the torn trolls' bodies rolled on the stone mountain.

Frightened trolls tried to flee but useless.

The red tiger that jumped onto the stone mountain in an instant started chewing and bursting the trolls with its snout.

Every time then, fire energy swirled and madly burst in all directions.

Truly enormous power.

“Kkeu.”

But there wasn't no problem.

Mana draining rapidly every time the red tiger moved.

As enormous as the tremendous destructive power, the mana consumption amount was enormous.

In the end, consumed all the mana of the whole body.

Then only after drawing the mana stored in the cursed heart several times could perfectly deal with the trolls.

After dispersing the red tiger, I raised my head and looked at the front.

A stone mountain that collapsed miserably.

Trolls that disappeared without a trace.

A large amount of fire energy still remains and swirls around.

“...Ha.”

Really absurd destructive power.

Freshly realized how much the shape transformation skills of the highest hunters seen in videos until now reduced the power.

At the same time, the lacking points for me also clearly came.

Must suppress unnecessary fire energy consumption, and handle flame more delicately.

Intense destructive power enough to blow one mountain whole.

If utilizing skills in this way in the city center, how much damage would occur is unimaginable.

Overflowing potential was clearly proven.

Bringing that into reality depends solely on my capability.

[You have cleared the 7th floor of the tower]

Returned to the lobby.

At the lethargy filling the whole body, drooped the shoulders and approached the skill merchant.

The fellow looks at me while letting out an annoying smile.

“Yo, as expected not easy right?”

“...”

“Consider it fortunate that you didn't die and returned!”

···Noisy, this thug bastard.

Muttering inwardly, I checked the skill window.

[Held points: 12,440]

[Obtainable series: [Earth][Wind][Water][Ice][Lightning][Holy][Dark]]

It's time to learn new skills.
