The special ability chosen by the 10th round is the unique ability called ‘blood manipulation.’

It is not a special ability. It is common and ordinary. The unique ability with the name and function of blood manipulation can be easily found.

Naturally, the growth was not ordinary.

Your unique abilities change throughout your life. Sometimes the changes are subtle and not noticeable, but they are definitely happening.

In cases where the change is too great, there are cases where the uniqueness is completely distorted.

Unique ability: True Blood.

A man screaming with his throat ripped open, a fountain of blood pouring from his body on the 10th round was pooling on the floor.

The outcome was expected. I quickly flapped my wings at the warning that stabbed me in the back of the neck.

-widely!

“Assassin!”

After the 10th time of self-harming, he falls and grabs the Daerasajeo to further distance himself.

Soon, the bubbling pool of blood exploded.

True Blood Expansion Ability

tubular spines

A crimson thorn rose up.

Just as the roots of a tree split, countless thorns, both large and small, sprouted from the thorns and spread out in all directions.

The speed is ridiculous. The moment I blinked, the thorns had already finished growing.

The woman holding my waist held her breath and scattered lightning.

Zazzak! The thorn swallowed by the brain crumbled.

It was only a very small part. Even that was attacked by thorns that could not be erased.

I also joined in and only after I struck with a terrible blow and a terrible rage did the thorns that were about to swallow us break.

“Hey! What the heck is this?!”

The world, which at best was filled with rocks and flames, was now filled with dark red thorns.

At the sight that seemed like looking into a thornbush, the jaw of the Dera Sajje dropped open.

-Clang!

The eerie sound of flesh being torn apart echoed from inside the thorn. It was the sound of monsters that had entered the range.

The skin, torn into countless pieces without distinction of hierarchy, was mixed in with the thorns.

-Gulp!

The sharp thorns rippled and melted into a sticky liquid. The sticky blood overflowed and became a dark red sea.

“Ugh… !”

In the middle of the blood sea, the 10th round broke his back while drinking blood.

A long and slender body. The body was bare and bare, and blood was running down it, making it look like a baggy outfit.

True Blood Expansion Ability

The mountain of corpses and the sea of blood

A common environmental control technique for attribute abilities. However, the range was too wide and it was too fast.

[iced coffee…]

In an instant, the sea of blood shook. The manifestation of unique abilities and the implementation of expanded abilities. There is no room for doubt.

‘You were really summoned?’

10th time.

In the observed world, a branch that my soulless body reached.

It has only been observed. It is a possibility. Strictly speaking, it is not reality.

That kind of guy.

It wasn’t something that was randomly implemented on the tower, but it appeared directly in the world.

I don’t understand. How on earth is it possible? Even if it’s the highest level, is it possible with something like an artifact?

I watched the 10th episode desperately, unable to recover my frozen face.

“Ugh,ugh… !Aaaaah… !”

‘It’s imperfect.’

I got some good news. The 10th iteration is not in good shape. It’s in much worse shape than the ones implemented on the top.

Maybe that’s why he seemed irrational. If that’s the case, then his fighting skills must have declined, so that’s good news.

…I really couldn’t like it.

This is the episode where Baek A-rin’s betrayal in the 8th episode turned into a malicious episode.

The 9th round was very experimental. It had a lot of potential, but it failed to preemptively attack and was interrupted early, so it died before it could grow to a satisfactory level.

The 10th time I got stronger enough to be satisfied. This is because I was able to catch tier 3 monsters fairly safely.

The 10th episode, which was implemented in a half-hearted manner, is not at the peak level.

Even taking that into account, the 10th time is strong.

It’s fucked.

Moreover, this is not the only reason why it is fucked up.

A place away from the blood sea. There is a tower pillar of purgatory with a sword slung over its shoulder.

It was the tower lord of purgatory who descended into Hong Yeonjun’s body.

“What the hell is that…! Priest!? Priest’s arm…!”

Daera, who was glaring at the bloody sea with a hardened face, suddenly got startled and pointed to her right arm.

There is a slight burn on the right arm where Purgatory was buried. It is a similar scar to the one that disappeared before.

[I got hurt a little, but it’s okay]

“

Daera Priest glared at the bloody sea with eyes that could easily chew up a few people. Sizzle! A fierce lightning flashed from his blue hair.

“… Priest. Let’s step back for now.”

Apart from that, Daerasajeo did not lose his senses and made a cool-headed judgment.

“That mosquito-like bastard and that cowardly bastard… They both look suspicious. It seems like it’ll be dangerous if they keep fighting like this.”

That’s right.

Even though it is difficult to estimate the power of the Tower of Purgatory, there are up to 10 rounds.

If we only consider power, it would be right to step back here.

[… Don’t fall into the sea of blood, but burn the blood with lightning from the other side.]

“What?“

As I shook my cold right arm, Daerasajeo stared at my face as if she couldn’t believe it.

“Priest? No? You’re really going to slam me in there?”

[yes]

In response to my words, Erasajeo’s face distorted.

“Priest, this doesn’t seem real. Let’s retreat for now and wait for later.”

[No, I don’t have time or space.]

It is already showing signs of reckless behavior.

First of all, since it already knows that I am in front of its nuclear nose, it may go out of control before I do so.

What if that happens? A violent outburst will pour out into the world, without me reducing the damage from within.

Is that all?

‘We’ll be swept away together until the 10th time.’

That is something that should never happen.

The 10th round is the malicious round that started after the 8th round.

Kill people as needed to steal materials and goods. If blood is needed, kill people to obtain blood.

The ability is also particularly specialized in mass slaughter.

Moreover, the Tower of Purgatory has descended next to it.

If even that guy fails, how much damage will there be in the future?

I don’t know.

So we have to stop it here.

“Escape─“

[Private, please help me]

The words of the person who had been desperately trying to persuade me were shut.

[I need your power to stop that. Can you restrain me from afar so that the blood sea doesn’t expand too much?]

“─Ugh, ugh… !“

Daerasajeo’s face was distorted with agony and conflict.

[Please]

“Ah! Seriously! Priest! Got it! ”

It made a sound like a kettle boiling, and then eventually it raised its magic power by shouting.

“But you should know this! If something bad happens here, I will be beaten to death by the master too!”

[Yes, thank you very much]

I felt guilty for forcing my circumstances on the private investigator too much, but I nodded my head in a hurry in case he changed his mind.

I wanted to send him out right away, but in the current situation, I didn’t have the luxury of making holes in the wall behind him.

-Phew…

He let out the breath he had been holding in his lungs, causing panic.

***

The Tower of Purgatory, who had borrowed Hong Yeonjun’s body, stared at the sea of blood that had suddenly flooded in an instant.

Chiiik! The Tower of Purgatory shrugged its shoulders at the gruesome sight of a monster that had accidentally fallen into blood and was melting away in an instant.

“It’s a dud”

Was that the 10th? It’s strong, but not what the Tower of Purgatory was hoping for.

What he wanted was the 11th.

It is the history of the Diamond Sutra that not only shared a virtual self but also pushed it forward for a moment.

Although it was not something I had actually experienced, but just information, I couldn’t help but feel awe and anticipation at the Tower of Purgatory.

‘That’s too bad.’

After spending so much time preparing, it all came to nothing. It seems like I’ll have to throw away even the tools I worked so hard to get.

Of course, the 10th one is strong enough to give you a sense of satisfaction, but it won’t live up to your expectations.

‘In the end, I guess I’ll have to rely on the real thing.’

Lee Ha-yool, who is alive and growing right now, not a mediocre bowl or a record realized in a fake world.

‘I am satisfied after seeing it in person. It is beyond my imagination.’

When I recall the sight of Hong Yeon-jun’s eyes, like the incarnation of murder, the corners of my mouth naturally go up.

It’s already like this. Only one year has passed, and the creature has risen to this level.

If you wait a little longer, you will grow more satisfyingly.

The tower lord of purgatory turned around, anticipating that moment.

Hong Yeonjun’s body is a vessel that can be transformed very rarely. If you ruin it here, you’ll be in trouble later.

‘If I had waited a little longer, I might have chosen a much better bowl… but then I would have missed the timing─’

The sound of being attacked. The swinging arm was pushed away. Bam! The leg scraped the ground and was pushed back.

The Tower of Purgatory tilted its head.

“What? Weren’t you just going to let it go?”

[Who said they would crawl out on their own?]

“I knew it would happen, given the circumstances.”

The one who rushed in was Lee Ha-yool, who was wrapped in a cowardly fire. The owner of the Purgatory Tower shrugged his shoulders and pointed to the blood sea.

『I’m confused right now. Even if I stay calm, I feel like I’m going to explode. I’m also not very relaxed, but can I handle it if I go wild with that guy?』

The owner of the Purgatory Tower does not know Lee Ha-yool’s power.

It is impossible to confirm the power as it is seen through Hong Yeonjun’s eyes. Anyone can use a secret weapon.

But if you look at the estimates, it is difficult for Lee Ha-yool to handle both Purgatory and the 10th at the same time.

[You shouldn’t worry about that]

Hwaruk…! A loud commotion seeped into Lee Ha-yool’s body.

‘That’s expansion ability… Evolution, you say?’

Among physical abilities and fire, a form that focuses resources on physical abilities. It seemed to be a choice for close combat with Purgatory.

‘What are we going to do about the 10th one? I don’t think a woman with magic and lightning alone can handle that sea of blood.’

It was around the time when I began to have doubts.

Hwarurururuk! Starting from Lee Ha-yool’s right arm, a scary fire started to rise. The blood that had been approaching rapidly evaporated as the scary fire rose rapidly.

Did you solve evolution?

‘no.’

That’s not it. The Tower of Purgatory cut off the thought. Evolution is being maintained.

just.

Magic friendly expansion ability

Homogenization-Terrorization-Flowering

Another disaster has just occurred.

Thud! The earth was melted by the influence of the fire and purgatory and was crushed to the core.

At that moment, the Tower of Purgatory felt an intuition, and Lee Ha-yool’s new form disappeared from sight.

The Tower of Purgatory’s eyes widened. His body moved optimally according to his instincts and accumulated skills.

-Kwaaang─!

The sword was shattered. Purgatory was consumed by the flames and burned.

A fist filled with anger struck the cheek of the tower keeper of Purgatory through the broken debris.
