261. Like killing a bug (1)
I stepped out of the dimensional gap.
There were already hundreds of heroes on the first floor of the waiting room.
The square was crowded with many passers-by.
“Phew, doing the same mission over and over again is pretty boring.”
Next to me, Jenna stretched.
Belquist was fixing the scabbard in silence.
[There is a hero waiting to be promoted to Master!]
[Upgradable heroes – ‘Han (★★★★★)’, ‘Jenna (★★★★★)’, ‘Belquist (★★★★★)’]
Hologram right in front of your eyes The window glowed green.
With the clearing of the mission just now, all three of them had reached the promotion level.
The level that can be promoted to 6 stars is 70.
On the lower floors, the experience table is configured so that you can raise 10 levels per 10 floors, but from the 50th floor onwards, the story is different. Otherwise, you won’t reach the 6-star level until you reach the 100th floor. In Taoneer, which had broken through the 60th floor, it was possible to easily reach level 70 with just a little labor.
The result was the three of us.
After clearing the 60th floor, Amkena repeatedly sent me and Jenna Belquist to the 59th floor mission, and we reached level 70 shortly after.
“The level has gone up a lot, but I don’t know how strong it has become. In the past, I felt it quite a lot.
We got on the elevator to the upper floors.
Now, various high-end facilities, including elevators, have appeared in Taone.
“It seems that ability doesn’t matter much now.”
“That’s right.”
I nodded.
Strength, intelligence, stamina, agility. There are four types of stats in Pick Me Up, and you can raise them as you level up, but the efficiency of the stats drops sharply from the high level section. This is called the capability limit.
‘Basic is 100 points.’
If his strength exceeds 100, it doesn’t make much of a difference no matter how much he raises his stats.
If there is, it is a subtle degree that can be overturned with a slight variable of skill and imprint.
There is definitely a difference and it is still important, but
it will not be enough to measure absolute superiority like before.
Therefore, in battles between high-level heroes, victory or defeat is determined by a mixture of complex factors such as skill, imprint compatibility, and battle situation.
‘Still, it’s true that 5-star birth is superior.’
Because the starting point is different.
belt ring. I stepped out through the open door.
The completed fifth-floor plaza of Taoneer welcomed me.
I separated from the two of them and headed to the left section of the 5th floor.
There, the exclusive house Amkena had prepared for me was built.
There is even a maid in charge of housework and a personal assistant.
‘It’s built neatly.’
It sounds like you paid close attention to it before building it.
The 5th floor of Taoneer was designed to be easily defended even if other heroes invaded. Defense facilities such as watchtowers, barrier gates, and magic traps were seen everywhere.
Because there are a lot of idiots these days.
I entered the room, locked the door, and opened a small book.
[Tee-ring!]
With a weak sound effect, a window appeared.
This book was a dedicated Internet access device prepared by Isell. You can access the Internet at any time by simply unfolding it, and you can charge it. It was basic that only I could see. I moved the cursor and entered the MuTube homepage.
[MyuTube™]
[Pick Me Up master ‘Amkena’s channel]
[31253 subscribers]
30,000 subscribers.
It has almost tripled in size.
The latest uploaded video was on the 60th floor.
I briefly looked through the comments.
‘The response is favorable.’
The word buschung is rarely seen.
While I was fighting with the saintess in the fantasy world, Amkena commanded the fight outside.
It seemed that there was also a so-called ‘fan’.
Occasionally, there were comments asking for a hero to be sold or an apology for the Eunbyeol Guild, but I was immediately hit with a non-sympathy bomb and blinded.
The reaction of the official cafe was similar.
Amkena was making a name for herself as the shortest attack user of Pick Me Up, which broke through the 60th floor shortly after starting.
[Isn’t that a new record? It took less than half a year to break through the 60th floor. It’s almost like a speed run.]
└[Reply – Mecha Kucha]
[Aren’t they all heroes? He’s a very strong hero. They say they carry everything by themselves.]
└[Reply – Right]
[That’s about the lower floors. If you look at the 60th floor video, it’s not really like that. His skills are also good.]
[Rather than that, when will server lag be resolved? It’ll keep bouncing and it’ll really go crazy.]
└[Reply – Blizzard King]
[Most of them are bugs.]
Similar content continues.
The stigma of being an ill-mannered user who slaughtered the herbivorous guild soon subsided.
Amkena was making a name for himself as an up-and-coming pick me up master. Guild offers and friend requests come in several times a day. The same goes for asking to sell me. Of course, Amkena refused all of them.
‘Things are going well.’
Even if it’s released, it’s too good to be released.
There was no problem. Amkena’s own skills have improved, and the strength of the heroes is on the rise.
After the 50th floor, the difficulty of the mission decreased, and various other good news were smiling at Amkena.
[Help]
[About the external upgrade center]
[If it is difficult to upgrade a hero in the waiting room, you can use the external upgrade center installed outside the waiting room.]
Amkena was investigating the contents of the 6-star upgrade.
I guess so. You cannot upgrade to 6 stars at Amkena’s Upgrade Center. If it was Niflheim, everything could be done inside, but Taoneer still needed outside help to operate.
‘I’ll go there anyway.’
Dimension City Beta.
It was a help center installed with a convenience patch from a few months ago.
The purpose of its establishment is to help low-level masters grow and narrow the gap with rankers.
There was also a facility for upgrading to 6 stars. It is located on the 60th floor sector, so the distance is not too far. An airship will arrive within three days.
smart.
A knock sound outside the door.
I turned my head.
“Master, cleaning the mansion is over. Where should we go next?”
master?
I frowned and replied casually.
“When you’re done, go back to your room.”
“Haona, there are still working hours…”
“He said he’s done cleaning. There’s nothing to do.”
“…thank you.”
The sound of footsteps went away.
It’s been very annoying. After expanding the waiting room to the 5th floor, Amkena put them in my house at will.
Helpers dedicated to meals, cleaning, laundry, etc. Even if the Master doesn’t need it, he’s unmoved. Eventually, they ended up living together in the same house.
‘It’s annoying.’
I have many things to hide.
You just have to keep some distance.
After that, it was a continuation of the waiting room work.
Nerissa soon brought the documents, and I checked the operation of the waiting room from the room and wrote a report to the master. And after sending it, Amkena clicks OK, and the schedule ends.
[Are you sure you want to close the master connection?]
[Yes (optional) / No]
[Then, goodbye!]
End the connection to Amkena.
The sky, which had been shining white, darkened.
Now it was the heroes’ free time. Normally, it would be the right time to start training with Halgion, but in the past few days, I had stopped my schedule.
“Yurnet, can you hear me? Answer me when you hear.”
I murmured as I sat in my desk chair.
One more time with the ring on his left hand turned.
“Yournet. Yournet.”
No reaction.
I clicked my tongue.
Even though I know the reason, I still feel sick to my stomach.
This happened after Yunet posted a report on the failure of the investigation. Yurnet reported to me with a calm expression, but I could see that she was quite humiliated.
‘Perhaps… they are investigating the El Cid case separately.’
It seemed that he was not going to return until he had certain information.
It’s difficult as it is. ‘Cause I’ve already come to a conclusion
But since this guy doesn’t answer, I can’t do anything.
‘I don’t think anything happened.’
Would anything bad happen to the 6-star, strongest mage?
After completing basic training in the training room of the mansion, I prepared to sleep.
“…”
before turning off the lights and going to bed.
I briefly looked back on these days.
As she learned the truth hidden in Pick Me Up, Amkena grew even further.
Same goes for heroes. Soon we will be evolving to the final grade of 6 stars. I couldn’t even remember the last time I’d struggled with goblins at level 1.
‘It seems that things are going well.’
Except for the fact that Yurnet went into hiding.
Well, time will tell.
I closed my eyes.
‘…?’
A strange sense of heterogeneity.
I woke up.
I don’t know if it’s just tossing and turning.
‘Now is the time…’
It must have been a deep dawn.
I fumbled over the bed.
The dagger that was supposed to be there was out of hand.
I opened my eyes.
and.
The blade dug in without a sound in the darkness.
“…!”
thud!
I kicked off the bed and jumped out.
When he touched his neck, blood was leaking from a shallow cut.
If you went a little deeper…
[It’s strong. It’s normal to have your throat cut. Did you put steel on your skin?]
A dark room.
A whitish figure like a shadow stands there.
‘You bastard…’
I held out my hand right away.
A dark hole opened and Bifrost’s blade was pulled out.
[Han Israt.]
The shadow said after clearly mentioning my name.
[Where is the Book of Reversal?]
“…”
[Don’t think about hiding it. I know you have a back row with Niflheim. Did you think you wouldn’t get noticed if you sneaked? It’s hard to ignore us. I lived on something like this.]
‘How did you get in?’
In the dimensional rift, the defense team, including the memorial service, is on standby 24 hours a day.
In addition, various magic traps and monitoring facilities are installed at the outer entrance of the waiting room.
But he broke through that gap and entered my room on the 5th floor?
‘It’s simple.’
It meant that this guy’s stealth skill far exceeded Taonier’s defense level.
‘Minimum master level.’
It even pierced the Black Dragon Lin, which is always activated.
If it wasn’t for Black Dragon Rin, he probably would have had his head cut off as he said.
[Don’t be too scared. I just came to say hello.]
“…Who are you?”
[If you think about it, it will come out right away, right? Who we are.]
I looked at the shadow in front of me.
I can’t see your face even though I’m right in front of you.
‘Is it a recognition obstruction skill?’
Assassin in master class.
Her body swayed like fog and her voice was full of noise as if it had been altered.
Not only the face, but also the body and voice are indistinguishable.
I turned my head quickly.
Who is the assassin in front of you?
This guy knows the book of reverse heaven.
That I am related to Niflheim, too.
Conclusion came soon.
‘Those who followed El Cid.’
Apparently, they sent a punitive force to chase them away.
Didn’t you hear it though?
‘Then…’
An assassin that even Niflheim’s elite couldn’t find.
It’s not like a master class.
‘Ranker… class.’
Only one conclusion emerged.
‘Ranked 21st.’
Master name Ttukbaegi oriental medicine.
He was the highest level PVP user on the server, specializing only in assassins.
These guys witnessed the meeting between me and Niflheim while chasing after El Cid after the battle for 1st place.
At that time, Yurnet’s large-scale surveillance magic surrounded them, but even that seemed to have been tricked. And they must have pursued me as I left for Taoni.
[Did you know now? It’s too late.]
He waved his index finger.
And with a strange laugh, he held out an object to me.
[We’ll make sure to keep this troublesome ring. I don’t want an intruder to step in.]
He turned the glossy black ring around and put it into his bosom.
That was the proof of the Fallen Heaven, the ring I was wearing on my left hand. Niflheim and I were the only means of contact. It seemed to have been taken out during the first raid.
‘…ha.’
I knew that one day it would happen.
I sighed and pulled my strength up from my body.
‘There is a chance.’
Assassins are weak in frontal combat.
He couldn’t kill me during the first raid, so if he took the time to summon the 1st party members, it was worth fighting.
[Han Israt. If you want to live, prepare the Book of Reverse Heaven by the next visit. Because it’s something that doesn’t suit you. This is a warning.]
“Warning? I’m not sure what you mean.”
I spun my sword.
[Whoops, I’m not afraid. I like it.]
The assassin laughed out loud.
and pick. disappeared without a trace.
Even when it appeared or disappeared, I couldn’t catch the sign.
‘Is it the end?’
I put my hand on my neck.
Red blood stained the fingertips.
shit.
This pain in the ass
I opened the door without relaxing.
The large hall of the mansion.
Seven figures dangle from the ceiling.
They all had their eyes wide open and their tongues sticking out.
‘Ha…’
The housekeepers Amkena gave me as a gift.
He was hanged by his neck in the air.
‘The body… is damaged.’
Everywhere on the body was hacked.
He would have died in excruciating pain.
pop.
Drops of blood from corpses dripped onto the large display case below.
[Explosion…]
Bulky.
Suddenly, the corpses hanging from the ropes swelled up like balls.
[Art….]
‘Such a fucking foot.’
I kicked off the railing and leaped.
He smashed the window with his body and ran out of the house.
yet.
Wow!
A huge explosion engulfed the mansion.
[Warning!]
[Master ‘???”s hero ‘???(???)’ has invaded the waiting room!]
[※The intruder cannot be detected due to the effect of the special skill.]
It’ll work out once and for all. .
