Episode 48
Clowns and magicians never reveal their tricks carelessly.
That is why, among the ten heroes gathered in the A-Match tower, the King of Heroes and the Jester of Kings laughed silently.
[The provocation value increases amazingly!]
“You will get what you wish for, child.”]
[The Clown Lord laughs without hiding his satisfaction.]
“Ah, this is so true.”
The man in the clown mask also understood the meaning and smiled meaningfully. Likewise, it was not Yooseong who did not know the meaning of the mask the man was wearing.
“So, is the vote counting finally over? “The number of votes is still low*… Eup Eup Eup!”
“Oh, excuse me. “It’s a mouth that will float even if you fall into the water.”
Yoosung’s mouth was zipped up again. The corner of his mouth twitched, and the last letter fell out of shape.
“Don’t be too impatient, King of Heroes.”
“Eup eup eup!”
“And ‘the monarch-slayer.’”
After that, after the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, Yoosung waved his arms in resignation.
“Okay, that’s enough. Just cover the sky with your palm.”
“In any case, opportunities must be given equally to everyone. Isn't that right? Monarch assassin.”
It's that name again. The only title granted to those who defeat the season boss ‘Plague Lord’. As he said, what Yoo Seong defeated in season 5 was not just an incarnation or Kangrimche.
Because he was the monarch who should be on the “Throne of the End,” which is said to be the pinnacle of the world of towers.
“No, I plucked it from the hair branch and it wasn’t that bad. Why do you keep emphasizing that? Was it so spectacular for the monarch’s head to fall?”
“How dare you, a mortal…
Just then, the man in the clown mask muttered coldly. However, he quickly swallowed his words and spread his arms wide, comically like a third-rate actor.
“...Oh, excuse me. “Please kindly forgive my immaturity.”
Following the Sword Master and the King of Heroes, eight heroes still remain here. And all of them can receive a chance to appeal for viewers' votes according to Produce 10's rules. Because that is the fairness of the world of the tower.
“Now then, shall we resume ‘Produce 10’?”
“Would you like to dance or sing something?”
Yooseong sneered again. Using the F-23 combat technique, which should be Lieutenant Colonel Kilgore's only level skill, like a familiar, he envelops the army of ghosts filled with the evil and sinister nature of the tomb keeper
. And the inaction of the Heavenly Demon hovered ominously along the blade.
It was right then.
“Give me a chance.”
It was the saint's voice that broke the heavy air. The nine heroes turned their heads at that voice. There was a white knight wrapped in pure white heavy armor.
Even though she is a saint, her name is listed as one of the player's top ten heroes. You will never be able to rise to that level by simply playing the role of an assistant in the rearguard of the battlefield.
Lightforged Guardian.
This is because the saint's class was a tank class, which was far from the type of priest who supported the battlefield from the rear. You can never reach the top of a player by relying on others. Therefore, in a sense, the white knight there wearing heavy armor was the true image of the Virgin Mary.
Therefore, the saintess held the sword of dawn and raised her head.
“What do you want from this opportunity?”
Seeing that, the man in the clown mask laughed happily.
“...Just like Yoosung, please give me a chance to talk to people.”
“Are you having a presentation contest at some elementary school right now?”
“And Yoosung, please shut your mouth.”
“yes baby.”
Yooseong answered calmly, and the saintess remained silent, completely dumbfounded.
“I...
After silence, the saint quietly opened her mouth.
“——Right now, I will let everyone know the true identity of Player King of Heroes.”
.......
At the saintess’s words, silence fell for an instant among the rankers. Even Yooseong had no choice but to hold his breath in front of her words. For a moment, I thought about subduing her, but even PK is meaningless here.
“That saintess.”
“What’s wrong baby?”
“...Is it too late to apologize now?”
Maria responded kindly to Yoosung's words with the smile of a saint.
“After the player in front of me, Kang Yoo-seong,
smiled, the saint’s accusation to the world began.
You have cleared the IA Match Tower!]

[Rewards will be paid differentially to the top 5 according to the number of votes!]
... (omitted).
[As a reward for 1st place, I acquired the mythic grade skill 《Descent of the Heavenly Demon》!]
“Manipulation.”
As soon as he left the A-match tower, Yoosung opened his mouth.
“Huh, my heart feels a little more open now. “I thought it was a manipulation.”
The power that had been in my body until just now disappeared like a lie. This is because it is not a player with a final setting at the end of the 5th season, but a setting at the beginning of the season, which is only in March.
“It’s manipulation, it’s manipulation from one to ten.
As Yooseong was humming, a sound suddenly came from the shadows.
- Nyaaang1 Where have you been and what have you been doing? Deacon
“Oh my gosh. “Did you miss me?”
— Why are you choosing it?
“...Uh no.”
The black dog stuck out its head and grumbled, and Yoosung responded by stroking the black dog’s head. And I immediately looked at the rewards I got from the tower.
《Descent of the Heavenly Demon》
- Grade . Myth
- Attribute . Possessed Steel
- Ability
. The divinity and inaction of the Heavenly Demon, known as the Demon God of the Sword, can temporarily descend upon the body.
The skills were really neat and easy to understand. The mythic grade is said to be the highest grade, surpassing even the common rare hero legends.
He took first place in the number of votes at the A-Match Tower. In return, he received a mythic skill. In my 1st place reward, I was hoping for +a apart from Heavenly Demon Descent, but even so, I guess I didn't have enough conscience to even add a bonus to the mythology skill.
‘This is actually the biggest hit of all jackpots.' Above all, the myth-level item that Yooseong possessed was not one of the Heavenly Demon Descent.
I remembered the system message when I finished the Plague Lord season in first place.
[The player ‘Kang Yu-seong’ who defeated the Plague Lord will receive the mythic equipment ‘Black Death’ and the title ‘Monarch Assassin’ as a reward!] Title
:《Monarch Assassin》
- Grade. Mythic Title
- Effect
. When fighting against the monarch's forces, attack power increases by 900%
. When fighting against a monarch, attack power increases by m%
. ???
. ???
《Plague Lord's Blade ‘Black Death'》
- Grade. Mythic Weapon
- Performance
... (omitted)
Skill Title Weapon In fact, 3 pieces of the item slots are already filled with ‘myth' from the beginning.
In the case of titles, there are no particular restrictions on wearing them. Therefore, as soon as it was started, it could be used right away with the King of Heroes' Court Jester. I actually had a lot of fun dealing with the Watchers of Light.
However, in the case of weapons or skills other than titles, those without qualifications cannot equip them without permission. Therefore, it was necessary to promise growth until it could handle mythic grade items.
For example, if you were to inhabit your body with the divinity of the Heavenly Demon, it would be difficult to even handle the aftermath at this point.
The same was true for mythic grade weapons.
‘No, even now I don't know how to install it.'
In the first place, in the case of weapons, there was another difficulty apart from the risk of installation.
《Frostsmith》
- Special Notes. When equipping this skill, the user cannot equip a weapon.
When equipping ‘Frost Craftsman', such as when creating a frost sword, you cannot equip a separate weapon.
However, since mythic grade weapons seemed better right now, I couldn't abandon the frostsmith. In the first place, Meteor's skill deck itself was set up around the frostsmith.
Unless the equipment and skill deck settings interlock like gears to achieve optimal efficiency, there is no point in applying mythic level equipment and skills.
‘It wouldn't be too late to change the settings little by little based on Heavenly Demon Advent and then replace it.'
That's why the Heavenly Demon Descent skill had to be even more special.
The skill deck, which is centered around creating frost swords, will be able to be replaced little by little by focusing on Heavenly Demon Advent.
In the long term, we had to consider unequipping the ‘Frostsmith' and setting up assassination and poison systems to bring out 100% effectiveness of the weapon, or boldly giving up the weapon altogether.
After thinking about that, Yoosung quickly shook his head.
‘Well, it wouldn't be too late to take a picture of this and that, taste it, and think about it.'
Just because you're holding a weapon doesn't mean you can't take it off for the rest of your life. It wouldn't be a bad idea to use the Frostworker as a side deck and test out the mythic weapons to your heart's content.
After replacing the skill deck and equipping Heavenly Demon Advent, Yooseong took a deep breath.
Before thinking about this or that, I need to safely complete the myth skill ‘Descent of the Heavenly Demon’ in my current state.
It's not like players are suddenly dying one after another while using particularly possessed skills for no reason. Because allowing others to inhabit one's body and consciousness is more dangerous than any other attribute.
Moreover, if it is a being that has reached the level of a heroic spirit or godhead, or has reached the realm of a strong god, there is no need to talk about it.
It is also a being called the Demon God of the Sword, the Heavenly Demon.
The situation is different from when the Heavenly Demon descended from the tower of the A match just before. If you are not careful, there is a possibility that your ego and body will be taken away by this being and you will run away.
Therefore, in the case of possession skills, ‘first use’ was more important than anything else. It is to prove that one is qualified to bear this existence and to contain it in the body and consciousness.
“Skill Heavenly Demon Advent activated.”
Although some physical foundation is necessary, proving one's qualifications is itself a separate act that unfolds in the world of consciousness.
Whoa!
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and the streetscape melted into the wind. And a new landscape greeted the shooting star.
A proving ground that must be passed in order to freely use the possession skill.
