Chapter 189: How a Veteran Makes a Second Class Change (1)

When the mastery of the Palm Technique reaches its peak, it manifests in the form of Spear Break.

A silent sword extends from the palm of the hand.

Atasha, with a hole blown through her abdomen by the wind, still couldnt believe what had happened, alternating her gaze between her wound and Jinhyuk with a look of disbelief.

She had never imagined that such an absurdly powerful close-range skill existed and missed the timing to don her ultimate armor, Thunder Shell.

Yet, she felt no sense of injustice.

Even if she had poured everything she had she still wouldnt have been able to surpass this monster.

Im completely outclassed by you.

Blood welled up from within her, threatening to choke her.

She knew better than anyone that her situation was beyond hope.

Moreover, the turn of the battle that had been overturned due to the shortage of the Karakal and Frost Blade clans was headed towards an uncontrollable disaster.

With the Lizard King beheaded at the hands of Karakal and Black Fang fleeing with his tail between his legs due to the combined attack of the Blackwind Association and the Moonshadow, there was no longer any means to turn the situation around.

However, despite this

Atasha smiled. A cold, chilling smile.

I still confirmed one thing.

With a face completely drained of blood, she took her last breath.

What are you talking about?

Your level is nowhere near His Excellencys toes.

With those final words

Atashas body collapsed.

Simultaneously

The air suddenly became chilly.

[Your level has increased.]

[Your level has increased.]

[Your level]

Notifications of level-ups appeared one after another, but there was no time to care about such things.

An ominous killing intent took hold of the interior.

It was a suffocating, foreboding atmosphere.

Can it be?

Jinhyuk lifted his head.

In the empty sky where there was nothing just a moment ago, a new shadow appeared.

An entity, never before seen, was warping space in black as it observed from abovethe man, with black hair and heterochromic eyes, exuded an overwhelming presence merely by revealing himself.

Zap! Zap! Zap!

The stinging magic pierced the skin, all too familiar and irritating.

This feeling this sensation.

He knew it.

How could he not recognize one of the highest entities in the tower, the Demonic Race?

With an air of arrogance, the demonic entity alternated its gaze between the body of the deceased Atasha and the invaders.

Tremble, tremble!

Not only the Ice Trolls from the Frost Blade clan but even the members of the Blackwind Association, known to carry out their orders in any situation, dared not make eye contact with the entity.

This impossible presence

Lord!

Only Karakal and Moonshadow managed to resist.

Even sweet potatoes and elementals were forced to reverse-summon back into the subspace inventory, unable to withstand the pressure.

It was overwhelming.

It wasnt for nothing that they were considered close to the deities.

But Jinhyuk frowned, and it wasnt just because the creature had appeared here.

Are they planning to break the contract?

Before this event, before entering the labyrinth, Jinhyuk had struck a deal with Rick.

[Player Kang Jinhyuk agrees to pass on the information his superiors desire to middle manager Rick Hennessy. In return, Rick Hennessy must handle the 10-minute delay and editing of Player Freedmans live broadcast, erasing all connections between Kang Jinhyuk and the Unknown. All connections as mentioned here include manipulating the memories of all players present, including Freedman.]

[Furthermore, top-tier powers are prohibited from intervening in this floor.]

The suspicious discomfort exuded by Melena from the Demon Association when she arrived.

Instinctively, Jinhyuk realized that this discomfort was linked to the Demon Kings and their kind, since their surface mission was to revive them.

Hence, he had made the contract to prevent such an event from happening in the first place.

However

That contract had shattered like a broken glass.

Because one of the demons had manifested right here before him.

Jinhyuk clenched his jaw.

Damn it.

It was not a pleasant experience to find a hole in something he thought was perfectly preparedespecially if the survival rate was now nearly zero.

Thud!

The demon descended to the ground from the sky.

Hmm

Different-colored eyes turned toward Karakal.

It lasted barely a second.

No, not that one

Then, the gaze shifted to Moonshadow.

Its not this guy either.

And finally

His gaze firmly stopped on Jinhyuk.

Eyes that seemed to see through everything looked straight at him.

It was you. Youre the one who massacred all of our people.

The voice wasnt coming from the front.

It was from the back.

Specifically, it was a voice whispering over his nape.

!

Reacting half a beat late, Jinhyuk widened the gap significantly.

Even though he quickly assumed his stance again, the opponent had already disappeared like smoke from his sight.

Thump!

A black bullet aimed at his leg flew toward him.

Jinhyuk dodged the bullet, which was as big as his thumbnail, by a hairs breadth.

He extended his fist immediately, but once again, there was no sensation in his hands.

Fast.

To be honest, he hadnt expected he would miss any trace of the enemy.

In the past, his level and stats were so high that he could detect the presence of even deities.

But now that everything had been reset to the reality of the tower, his past achievements were gone.

Even though he was growing faster and more perfectly than before, he was still far from being ready for a direct confrontation with the demonic entities.

And because the situation was unfavorable

Interesting.

Jinhyuk felt an excitement that was almost unbearable.

Indeed, this was why the Tower of Trial was so attractiveconstantly encountering powerful adversaries.

Yes, only when its challenging like this, its not boring.

Hoo?

The demon raised his eyebrows as if he couldnt understand.

It was obvious.

He was from the demonic tribe, feared by all living creatures.

Like the trolls and humans lying flat on the ground and shivering with fear, it would be normal to be in despair.

But why?

Why couldnt he find such emotions in the human before him?

Instead

Hes laughing.

He was having fun.

Enjoying this situation.

And the fact that he was meeting him genuinely seemed to be a pleasure.

You dont seem to be very tense.

Sorry, but Ive dealt with nuisances far bigger than you.

The mosquitoes that sucked blood were sent back to the first floor, so they were out of the picture now, but that was one of the supreme beings within the towers top ten.

The Egyptian friends from the animal farm that he had met in the desert were at least several levels above the demon kind.

And those beings on the 50th floor of the tower were in a completely different realm.

I have survived against all of them.

And hed surpassed them.

If he were to fear a mere demon, even in a situation where he was at a significant disadvantage, that would be a contradiction.

Hmm. Do you know who I am?

Of course.

Jinhyuk shrugged his shoulders.

He had already gathered information on the opponent through Gluttonys Eye.

[Only partial information can be accessed due to the targets level being too high.]

[Makedros Death Eater]

Race: Demonic Race ()

Rank: 26th

Overall Rank: ??

Age: ??

Level: ??

Strength ??? Agility ??? Stamina ??? Magic Power ???

Unique Ability: The First Magic

Skills: ???

Detailed Description: Makedros, a noble of the count rank in the demonic hierarchy, holds the 26th position. Equipped with high-level magic, if you leverage the current state of war resulting from the competition amongst rankings, you might manage to manipulate the situation to your favor.]

It wasnt just the Eye of Gluttony; he had memorized nearly all the entities of the tower, but with the Eye, he could gain a wealth of additional information.

Jinhyuks expression sharpened.

War, huh

This timing has been moved forward too.

It was probably due to the towers attack timing and other variables.

But it didnt matter.

No matter what happens, theres a way to solve it.

He quietly reorganized the incoming information in his head.

The existence and purpose of the Demon Association, Melenas significance, and the Demon King Rotting Heart he met on the 5th floor which offered him the second class change Black Apostle.

He combined the cards and trump cards he held to create the ultimate trump card.

There were countless possibilities, but it didnt take long for him to sort his thoughts.

Jinhyuk slowly began to speak.

I know why youve come here. But I have a more interesting offer.

The audacity. To think I had even the slightest expectation of you for having some decent skill, but in the end, are you just trying to grovel for your life with an offer that lacks substance?

Arent you making a hasty judgment without hearing me out? You might change your mind if you listen.

No, there wont be any need for that. Whatever a thing like you can promise, it would only be a waste of my time.

Interest seemingly waned.

White fingers stretched once more towards Jinhyuks heart.

Fzzzt!

Black sparks erupted from the fingertips.

The same dark magic as before, but this time, he was simultaneously casting more than ten magic spells, ensuring there would be no escape.

However

If you are on the losing end of the hierarchy struggle, then even paying attention to a worthless humans words might be the wise thing to do

Jinhyuks words.

You.

Makedros fingers froze completely.

His face showed disbelief for the first time.

How do you know about the affairs of the demon world? Tell me everything, now!

No need to be concerned about information leakageit wont come from your side. Besides, thats not whats important right now, is it?

You rotten thing Its not you who decides priorities! Quit with your nonsensical talk and just answer what I ask. Unless you want to experience being burnt alive!

Anger resonated thunderously in his voice.

Fwoosh!

The small spheres rearranged in an instant.

Pentagrams appeared behind Makedros, and each forming a magic circle, ominous black flames erupted.

Hellfireor something akin to it, a unique dark magic belonging to the demon kind.

A 9th circle spell.

Among the highest tier of fire magic capable of vaporizing even stone, theres nothing that can defend against it without a 10th circle shield or a holy relic.

Even if Jinhyuk attempted to block with his sword qi, his body would be burnt to a crisp.

No wonder hes rated just below the ten Demon Kings. He climbed up to the 26th without just coasting.

But

Jinhyuk still did not fear the terrible blazing threat before his eyes.

He remained calm and undisturbed.

Makedros.

With a voice steady and unfaltering.

I know the exact location of all the relics capable of unsealing the Demon Kings.

He mentioned what the opponent desired most.

And then

!

[Makedros has activated Lv?? Mental Projection ()!]

Time in the world stood still.
