Insanely-Talented Player

In the darkness, silhouettes surrounded the shooting star.

They were wearing medieval-style bird-beak masks and robes, like European plague doctors during the plague epidemic.

What exists in this game is not just an easy-to-understand form of combat.

Contact with a force is one of the countless random encounters you will experience while conquering the tower.

In the world of the tower, various forces, including the monarch and his subordinate organizations, are tangled up like a mess. It is not unusual for their forces to contact players active in the tower.

For them, it's like hiring a kind of mercenary.

[There are many things about the Shadow Council that are shrouded in mystery, and now is your chance to share their secrets!] [As the

friendliness of that faction increases, players gain access to their secret powers and darkness. And at the same time, your existence will be willingly protected by their veil.]

[Force: Would you like to join the Shadow Council?]

‘It's not bad for the Shadow Council.'

Players can belong to a specific faction in the world of the tower, and as they increase their status by completing quests given by the faction, they can receive better rewards and the protection of the faction.

“We remember you, mortal.”

A silhouette of a bird beak mask opened its mouth.

In fact, Yoosung joined the Shadow Council in the previous season and obtained a price worthy of the danger.

“Won’t you face the shadows again and join our whispers?”

“for a moment.”

Nevertheless, Yoosung’s expression was extremely cautious.

‘There are too many forces pretending to be here, so it's a shame.'

It is an organization that is shady in name and is very shady in reality.

Therefore, it was almost suicidal for an inexperienced player to enter the Shadow Council.

This is especially true at the beginning of the season when the settings are not properly set up.

“I feel the same way and want to stamp my name right away, but the powers that be can’t take you away and don’t know what to do.”

“Our tent will be with you. “Have you forgotten our power?”

“I’m saying this because I know it well.”

“Then what do you want?”

Yooseong answered as if he had been waiting.

“The Shadow Beast gave me one more rare skill card for Castle in the Dark.”

“This is truly irreverent.”

“Are you teasing me? “I’ve given you everything so far, but you can’t even give me this?”

“Do not overestimate your existence, foolish mortal. Your mortal existence in this world...

“Ah, that’s enough.”

Yoosung turned his head without any time for the silhouette to say anything.

“We were dirty together, let’s never see each other again.”

It was right then.

“...wait.”

“I thought so.”

The shooting star answered calmly, and one of the silhouettes of the bird's beak mask sipped the darkness with a hint of menace.

Whoa!

At the same time, the swirling darkness began to take the shape of a four-legged beast and lunged towards the shooting star.

Into the shadow cast at the feet of the shooting star.

“Right, right.”

The beast peeked out from the shadows beneath his feet, and Yoosung stretched out his arm and stroked it. Then he lifted his chin and a grunting sound was heard.

[You have acquired the Shadow Beast!]

[The special achievement ‘Nyanjup’ has been achieved! Acquired 100000P achievement points.]

It was a cat.

“Nyanjup.la....”

That wasn’t the end of the message that followed.

[The rare skill card “Shadow Blade” has been acquired!]

“I will join the Shadow Council.”

Yooseong opened his mouth, and a message appeared in response.

[Force: Joined the Shadow Council! The friendliness of that force increases.]

Before I knew it, the silhouettes surrounding me had disappeared without even a trace. The light has returned.

In addition to creating frost swords (cold metal), ice bolts (cold), and stabbing (metal),

one skill card of the dark attribute was secured.

It was a negotiation that could be said to be quite successful.

“In times like this, there’s an accelerator to step on.”

There was no reason to hesitate.

It was time to aim for a strategy beyond the 3rd tier top.

After negotiating and joining the Shadow Council, I finally left the Tower of the Imp Demon Cultist.

And as soon as I left the tower, I was greeted by a barrage of reporters who had no time left.

“Mr. Kang Yu-seong! On the first day of the season, we have already conquered two Tier 3 tops and are on our way to #1 in the rankings! “Please share your thoughts on this!”

“This is all because I am good at it. “It’s amazing.”

un......

Yoosung answered as if it were someone else's business as he walked through the reporters. It was an immediate answer without any hesitation.

“I said, ‘I will repay you with a game,’ in response to the harsh words at the UN Hall. Does that have an impact?”

“Oh, of course. It was a cannonball of atonement fired with a truly miserable heart. It was truly amazing. By the way, it wasn’t a game, it was baseball.”

“Then in the future...

“It will become even more amazing.”

“Can you explain why you continue to perform well as a player even though you have said it is over on several occasions?”

“That’s because the day my amazing performance ends is the day the Earth dies.”

“But still...

it was right then.

“Breaking news! “It is a report that the Chinese player Sword Master has just succeeded in reaching the 4th tier top!”

Immediately after, a reporter's voice rang out and murmurs arose again.

A contractor for the Iron Lord and a player said to be at the top of his game when it comes to swords.

“How many people attacked it?”

“It is said that five Chinese guild veterans, led by the sword master, have entered! Four players died during

the walkthrough and

people were like, “Wow, that’s really awesome.”

Yoosung muttered as if he was dumbfounded. The reporters held up the microphone again and Yoosung answered.

“Well, what I meant was that the skill in setting up the meat shield was truly amazing. Oh, it's just Shield Master. Shield Master. “Who calls that friend a sword master?”

“What he said was during the Plague Lord raid, when the heavy attack guild was used as a meat shield, he said,

“Let’s finish the rest of the story in the car. Someone please give me a ride. “I’ll tell you a great story.”

As soon as Yoosung finished speaking, reporters rushed to raise their voices saying that they would commandeer their vehicles. Yoosung said as he followed the nearest reporter into the car.

“Before that, let’s stop by the 4th tier tower.”

As we got off at our destination with the reporters chirping, information on the 4th tier tower came into view.

［Blade Arena］

［Arena format 5 gladiators can enter on standby Number of players up to 5 Stores］

［Strategy goal: Player side’s victory］

［Special note: Strategy rewards are divided equally among everyone. However, the dead never speak.]

[You have entered the Blade Arena!]

As the level of the tower rises, indiscriminate hunting decreases and strategies become more difficult and complicated.

For example, towers of tier 10 or higher boast a scale comparable to that of a different world, and the same goes for the arena format, where towers of tier 4 appear immediately without having to go far.

Not indiscriminate hunting. Set up as a one-on-one match between the player's side and the tower's gladiators.

The maximum number of players that can enter is 5, but only one player can fight in the tower at the same time.

Only when one person collapses or cries out in defeat and gives up can the next runner step forward, and the winner can continue to fight until he or she dies or is defeated.

The sand on the floor of the arena was reminiscent of desert heat. And what was hotter than the sand was the cheers that filled the Colosseum.

“Waaaa!”

“The player’s warriors have finally revealed themselves! And oh my god! Not three, not two, but one! “There is literally no other name!”

“Do you really plan on fighting all the gladiators on the Colosseum alone?!”

Yooseong raised his head, leaving behind the voices of commentators echoing among the shouts.

The first of the five gladiators was there.

“Finally, a kid has appeared to show me my taste for fire.”

It was a man wearing red leather armor rather than water-tight steel armor.

[The duel begins.]

At the same time, a message appeared and the man raised his sword high. At the same time, the flames swirling from the man's sword engulfed the entire area like a whirlpool.

“Enma, the legendary swordsman of reversal that the Kingdom of Frankia is proud of, welcomes players here at the Colosseum!”

“Fire Sword! Fire Sword!”

“You sound like a fire sword.”

Yoosung muttered something nonsense and stretched out his arms. Immediately, cold air swirled around and a frost sword was created.

Yooseong adjusted the hilt of his frost sword to fight against Yeomma, a magic swordsman who used fire magic.

Before we knew it, the flames flaring along with Enma's sword rushed towards the shooting star, slithering like a living snake.

As soon as Yooseong raised his shield of cold to block the flames, Yeomma was closing the distance right in front of Yooseong.

Enma's sword swung in sync with the baptism of fire. It was light and cheerful, and every time the sword was swung, a stream of flames came out.

As soon as he could avoid the flames, the sword swung, and as soon as he could catch the sword being swung, a stream of fire swirled around him again.

Three waves that lead to offbeat after offbeat. Even fighting back the endless waves of attacks was overwhelming.

He was truly a powerhouse that could not be compared to the 3rd tier top bosses.

‘You can't take out all the resources from the first opponent.'

At the same time, he counted the power he gained by joining the Shadow Council.

You can use that power right away, but you need to save money to deal with all five gladiators.

Except for one skill, ‘Shadow Blade’, which was obtained through blackmailing the Shadow Council.

As he blocked Enma's sword swing, a stream of fire spewed out from his sword like a poisonous snake. He quickly condensed his cold magic power and raised his ice shield, and as soon as he could block the stream of fire, Enma's sword rushed in again.

Yooseong did not block the sword that attacked while looking for an opportunity.

What stopped it was not the blade of the frost sword, but the blade rising from the shadow of the meteor.

Kaang!

A shadow blade rose like a skewer from under his feet and struck down Enma's swinging sword.

《Let’s Draw the Blade》

- Attribute. Dark Assassination

- Grade - Rare

- Ability

. A blade of darkness can be created from the player's shadow.

Darkness and assassination properties. As its name suggests, it is a skill for assassins that is surprising and extremely mean.

‘It's a skill worth giving experience to.'

Unlike metal attribute skills, assassination attribute skills are characterized by the meanness of taking the opponent's life regardless of the method.

Even if the skill uses the same blade, the front of the head is metal and the back of the head can be considered as assassination.
