episode_0029

It seemed like the rescue team would arrive later than I expected.

The night passed and dawn did not come.

After slaying four demons of the same level as the One-Eyed One I had first encountered during the passage of time, the authors who appeared to be a rescue team were seen from afar with the sunrise.

A large group of Miao people came toward me.

I could guess what kind of misunderstanding he was having because his eyes were shining ominously.

Me standing there blankly with ten Miao children.

This picture is quite misleading.

From afar, the voices of Miao warriors approaching with brisk strides could be heard.

“That’s him, the one who kidnapped our children!”

“Must kill!”

[NPC – Kentra, 2nd-tier warrior of the Miao tribe]

[NPC – Jete, a 3rd-tier warrior of the Miao tribe]

[NPC – Miao Tribe 4th-tier warrior Vitus]

… You have already misunderstood.

Aura began to rise from the swords and spears held by the three large Miao men.

Thirteen Miao warriors, male and female, surrounded me and began to close the distance.

“Are you a member of the slave trade?”

There is no way to disarm oneself when there is such a misunderstanding.

He rolled his head while holding the great sword Carnaval in his hand.

How can we get out of this situation without friction?

As I was about to open my mouth, ten Miao boys and girls gathered in front of me and spoke in unison.

“Mr. Yoo Sung is the one who saved us from the slave upper class humans!”

The first to step forward was Mike, a Miao person I had just met.

“Over there, those corpses. Those guys are slave traders… .”

The children came forward one by one and testified on my behalf of innocence.

Those testimonies were, of course, more effective than my own explanations.

The Miao warriors put aside all doubts about the Miao children’s testimony and believed in my innocence.

“I’m sorry.”

Vitus, a fourth-tier Miao warrior, bowed his head to me.

“I almost committed a great disrespect to my benefactor.”

Then, the other Miao warriors stationed around also bowed their heads.

Mike, who had been standing back for a moment, quickly approached Vitus and whispered something.

Mike handed me the object he had taken out of the bag Vitus was holding.

It was a scarlet bracelet with an intricate pattern engraved on it.

What stood out was the yellow hair fluttering naturally from the end of the bracelet.

“This is a proof that I am a friend of the Miao and Uyet tribes.”

I accepted the bracelet that Mike offered me.

[Bonus of Trust]

Category – Jewelry

Effect: Mental power slightly increases in the background ‘forest’.

Description: A bracelet that proves that he is a close friend of the Miao tribe, the ‘Uyet’.

Grade: C

The grade and effects were inferior to the Half-Evil Bracelet I was wearing now, but this wasn’t a bracelet where those effects seemed important.

“Not only the Uyet tribe, but also the Miao tribes of other tribes will recognize this bracelet. The owner of the bond will be less wary than when dealing with other humans.”

Gifts were always welcome.

“Thank you.”

Notification windows began to appear one after another before my eyes.

[Score tallying has been completed.]

[Han Yoo-seong: 1,682 points]

We’ve crossed the four-digit mark again.

[After 3 minutes, you will automatically be moved to the ‘4th floor waiting room’.]

The three minutes passed quickly.

It was only when it was time to leave that I patted the heads of the Miao children who were happily welcoming me.

The children slowly dispersed.

Mike came up to me.

I handed the last sandwich I had in my hand to Mike.

“Eat it by yourself later. You should eat it today so it doesn’t spoil.”

Mike took the sandwich with both hands and smiled bashfully.

“Thank you.”

Mike looked up at me with green eyes.

“Now, where do you plan on going?”

well.

I don’t know what will come out on the 4th floor stage either.

I patted Mike’s head.

The yellow cat’s tail twitched.

“See you next time.”

On the second floor stage, he said the same greeting to Liselin and Younes.

“Meteor… ?”

I saw Mike’s eyes grow wide.

Immediately afterwards, I felt as if my body was floating.

The view before my eyes was filled with light.

When I returned to normal, the scenery had changed.

The scenery changed from the once vast and expansive forest of demons to what still looked like a high school auditorium.

hmm.

Is this going to expand the size of the waiting room?

Notification windows began to appear before my eyes again.

[Welcome to the 4th floor.]

N You must be lucky.

N.B.S. Is that just luck? If it happens twice in a row, it’s not luck. The real thing is coming up.

ㄴ I’m starting to really look forward to it. When he gets to the 30th floor and gets the climber’s terminal, the first thing he’ll post on the gallery is ㅇㅇ

(Sharp spear) I don’t think they’re just normal people, they’re being really loud. Stop wasting your time on 3rd floor people and just train.

N haha …

(n Let me go home) It’s not like the union leader would be scared or anything, but he must be nervous. ㅇㅇ The newbie is 1000 points higher than me. It seems like he’s got something going for him.

N Come up quickly ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ At that rate, I’ll see you soon. Considering the exchange period, it seems like it won’t even take 3 days to clear the 3rd floor??

ㄴ That’s a supernova.

N These guys have no one to rely on, so they sit down with a newbie on the third floor… .

No, I’m giving this to the 3rd floor newbie who ‘took 1st place twice in a row with 4-digit scores’. I like it except for the fact that you made the nickname old. Please come up quickly.

(Life Analyst) If it’s like that on the 4th floor, then okay

N If you keep that momentum, you can do it. Can’t you?

N Aaaah!!! It feels so good because all the people who are being so brazen are getting pushed down a notch~~ Private ㅎㅇㅌ

“I didn’t know you could clear the 3rd floor faster than the 2nd floor.”

The black-haired woman muttered while looking at the gallery screen in her terminal. She then looked at one of the talismans hanging in the room.

“I put all my essence into this one talisman because it was obvious I couldn’t trade multiple ones, but I still haven’t been able to give it to you, tsk tsk.”

The female, So Yo-hwa, was just waiting for the cooldown of Han Yu-seong’s interdimensional trade, the only tower climber in the Transcendent Gallery, to end.

A very boring, very tiring life.

Because the only person who gave him the feeling of fun right now was Han Yoo-seong.

Whizz-!

Soyohwa tied up her long hair as she watched the amulets hanging from the string suddenly fluttering in unison.

Then he got up from his chair and walked towards the window of the Taiheo Palace.

The Central Plains martial arts world.

Monsters that began appearing forty years ago.

The most notorious monsters in the history of martial arts, Muyeon and Heukmok, descended from the sky immediately after.

As soon as he landed on the ground, he wiped out 590,000 martial artists.

The martial arts world was brought to the brink of ruin by the appearance of monsters that were not easily affected by martial arts.

Those who sorted out the situation were the ones who ended the ‘Tower’, including themselves, and returned.

Muyeon became a companion to Soyohwa’s teacher.

Heukmok killed Soyohwa by risking his life.

After that, no great-level monsters descended, but mid-level monsters were still targeting the Central Plains.

Like the monster that is in front of Soyouhwa right now.

A pure white snake monster with a thousand heads.

Soyouhwa lightly threw one talisman into the air.

Soyouhwa spoke softly.

“Dying is coming.”

WHACK!

The amulet was torn in all directions in the air.

and.

Kkieeek!

The snake monster’s body was also torn to pieces in all directions.

Blood and flesh poured down like heavy rain.

Soyohwa stood on the railing of the window and took out the terminal.

This time, I went into the instead of the where I could just browse.

Title: 4th floor waiting room

Author: ㅇㅇ*

– I’m thinking of training my sword skills and then going to the 4th floor stage. After all, actual combat is the most helpful.

I almost got killed by a 4th-tier inspector, but thanks to that I think I’ve come to my senses a little.

N??? Why did I meet the 4th rank on the 3rd floor?

N haha …

(Absolute Monarch) You must have achieved the elimination of the strong enemy.

N yeah*) That’s right.

n Sword of Light) What technique almost killed you?

ㄴ ㅇㅇ*) When I slammed my sword into the ground, some kind of wave-like thing covered me. I had a strong feeling that if it touched me, I would die. It only grazed my right arm, but it twisted.

n Sword of Light) It’s an explosion of sword energy. If it touches you any further, you’ll die.

Thanks to the method of Mr. N ㅇㅇ*), I was able to penetrate the gap in the wave.

(Sword of Light) It was purely your ability to judge and execute that at that moment.

N f*ck, you’re so talented ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

n Pioneer) It’s surprising that I met a kid who uses a sword on the third floor.

Tok- Tokdok.

Soyouhwa commented.

(Madame) Hawaii, thank you for your hard work. Climber Gong.
