Yujun, walking out of the ancient ruins smiled contently.
‘This defense is no joke.’
At first, he was surprised by the sudden attack, but he was wearing a full set of level 150 equipment.
The combined attacks of nine players could not even move Yujun.
‘Defense testing is done…Now let’s test the level 250 legendary weapon.’
The assailants came at him first with the intent to kill.
So there was no reason for him to stay still.
Yujun kicked off the ground with a firm heart.
While running, he resummoned Feranet.
“Uh…huh? Ah!”
The suddenly summoned Feranet was momentarily confused.
It quickly figured out the situation and started running after Yujun.
The assailants scrambled.
“Stop him! Protect the wizards!”
“Yes!”
Wizards were an integral part of the party because they had both offense and defense capabilities.
Yujun knew that and ran to the place where the wizards were, but the assailants noticed it and tried to protect the wizards.
‘Well, it doesn’t matter.’
He’s going to take it slowly from the front.
He saw three players running with long swords.
One of them had imbued their sword with magic using a skill.
They extended their swords at the same time.
Yujun also extended his sword to face them.
Swish!
There was no sound of metal colliding, only the sound of something being cut.
The swords of the players that touched Yujun’s sword were cut in half.
“Crazy!”
“…Just from being touched?”
“R-run away!”
The end of the players who had lost their weapons was obvious.
Yujun, who ran after them, killed the players in an instant.
‘It doesn’t feel good.’
Killing human players like him made him feel uncomfortable and irritated.
‘I should get used to it.’
Three lives were lost in a single act by him.
He couldn’t help but remain calm.
This is all thanks to his Composure (S).
‘In any case, there’s no price for mercy.’
With a stern look on his face, Yujun ran forward again.
Two players with bows appeared in front of Yujun.
At the same time, ice magic was aimed at him.
Flame magic did not work, so they used a different property magic.
It was futile.
In the first place, flame magic did not work because of his high defense.
His high defense has made all the magic attacks useless.
Yujun took a hit from the sharp icicle with his armor.
“M-monster! How, my magic…”
“Stop him somehow! If he reaches the wizards, it’ll really be over!”
A player’s heart was pierced when Yujun approached.
The player who was nearby staggered backwards.
“I-I can’t stop him!”
“Then sacrifice yourself to stop him!”
There are already four dead players.
Only six were left.
The faces of the assailants facing Yujun were grim.
He didn’t stop.
Swish! Psh!
The players were driven to the edge of the cliff by his relentless attacks.
Before they knew it, all lives in front of Yujun’s sword were lost.
All that were left was one archer and three wizards.
“How… how is this possible?”
“Those equipment… I’m sure it’s above legendary grade from the ancient ruins. Otherwise, it can’t be explained.”
There was no way for them to survive against an enemy who they could not damage at all.
“Why did you attack me?”
“…”
“…”
The assailants all quited.
Since then, Yujun persistently cut down the remaining assailants.
But there was no reward.
With a sigh, Yujun swung his sword.
Swish!
The fight ended.
[Original players have the authority to punish guilty players.]
[No penalty for killing such players.]
‘Penalty? Oh, right. From level 100, there was karma.’
To prevent indiscriminate PK, killing a player will result in a penalty.
The penalty is a certain percentage reduction in all abilities, and the more players you killed, the more it’s amplified.
He thought it only applied to the game, but now he sees that it is still used in reality.
Fortunately, he did not receive a PK penalty thanks to him being an original player.
‘It said I didn’t receive any penalty because I’m an original player. Does it apply even if it wasn’t self defense?’
It was a ridiculous privilege if there was no problem with pre-emptive attacks on other players.
‘By the way, why are you chasing after us?’
The assailants had stared at him, as if waiting for an answer.
‘Well, you were aiming for me first.’
Yujun put away the items left by the assailants into his inventory.
Meanwhile, Jin Changho and Park Seoksan, who watched Yujun and the assailants fight from nearby, were stunned and unable to move for a while.
“W-what…”
“…”
Their eyes met.
“I didn’t expect this in the first place… I don’t know if it’s because of his skills or because of his good items.”
“I’m sure he’s talented. If you have good items, do you think you can do the same thing as him? You saw his movements.”
“Well… He looked pretty used to moving his body. He didn’t hesitate at all to kill the players.”
Jin Changho frowned.
“It was dangerous. It’s a good thing there were a bunch of bastards faster than us.”
“Come to think of it, that’s true. Wow…That was close. If it was us who attacked first, it would have been us who died.”
“Right.”
“So? What are we going to do?”
Asked Park Seoksan with an anxious look.
Jin Changho had remained stubborn until the end and tried to dig up the secrets of the ancient ruins.
Having seen the fruit right before his eyes, it didn’t occur to him that he would give up easily.
“Let’s leave.”
“…What?”
Park Seoksan widened his eyes.
He did not expect such words from Jin Changho.
If it was the usual him, he would have tried to find out about the ancient ruins somehow.
“That bastard just now is that kind of existence. There’s nothing we can do…”
Said Jin Changho feebly.
Park Seoksan carefully turned his head in agreement.
“Yeah. That’s the first good idea that has come out of your mouth.”
Jin Changho’s eyes trembled as if his pride had been hurt by Park Seoksan’s words.
Before challenging the 10th floor, Yujun stopped at the residential area first.
This is because the residential area changes after level 100.
The residential area above level 100 begins to have other races.
[Infinite Tower Residential Area (Level 100 and above)]
It was common to see people over level 300.
From this point on, it is more like a continent than a residential area.
A continent inhabited by the different races.
Such a place where players appear is a setting from the game.
He has been gathering information and it was actually the same.
Of course, among the inhabitants, there were quite a few players.
This is because the original players also gave the original continent’s humans the power of a player.
In any case, this is the true beginning, a place where high level players over level 100 starts to appear in the residential area.
In fact, so far, it has been nothing more than low level zones, or the tutorial.
‘I have to be careful from here on out.’
The residential area is not safe at all.
He could be robbed at an inn and lose his life without knowing it, or the town could disappear overnight due to a monster tide.
Yujun traveled around the city called Pantera for two days to gather information.
‘This continent which was also in ‘War of Gods’ was moved to the Infinite Tower.’
The information was vague.
Information obtained in the residential area below level 100 could easily be pieced together.
‘I should focus on clearing the Infinite Tower first.’
Even if he wants to go back to Earth, there is no way back now.
If so, he will do his best given the situation.
The best way for him to become strong is to raise his level.
He has the best items out of everyone.
Yujun could become strong as long as he reaches certain levels.
Then, where is the best place to raise his level?
‘Hidden dungeons.’
On the 10th floor, there is a hidden dungeon only Yujun knows of.
It could have already been targeted by someone, but chances were high that it hasn’t been cleared.
‘But first, the 9th floor trial.’
Although the trial on the 9th floor was different, Yujun wasn’t too worried.
Now his specs have gone far beyond players of the same level.
It is not comparable.
Let alone his items, looking at his level, his ability was so high that he was speechless.
‘I’m only missing skills and traits.’
There was a great lack of skills and traits compared to his luxurious items and titles.
There is only one trait, Composure (S).
It’s useful in fights, but it doesn’t have a big impact.
‘Composure is fine, but…’
He wanted to get better skills.
‘Let’s use the Matured Elixir after I can wear items with luck options later.’
Now.
To grow stronger at a faster pace.
He is five years behind most other players.
Even if he has his inventory to fill the gap, he couldn’t be complacent about the situation.
Tap, tap.
The trial on the 9th floor was a raid boss, similar to the 5th floor.
However, this time was different, as he was thinking of facing the raid boss alone.
It was unthinkable to other players.
Bosses are different from ordinary monsters.
But Yujun wasn’t too worried.
‘Items play a big part in War of Gods.’
After facing the boss on the 5th floor, he thought he could pass the 9th floor without difficulty.
Yujun immediately placed his hand on the stone statue and took the trial.
Wooung-. Wooung-!
His body warped.
Like last time, it was an open space and not a secret room.
Swish!
The background of the trial on the 9th floor is a steep cliff with a waterfall.
On one side was the waterfall and the other was an endless cliff.
The raid boss in the trial was none other than a Basilisk.
Of course, it’s more comforting to think of it as a giant snake that lives in water.
Although not comparable to a dragon, the giant snake was so big that it took a year just to kill it.
It was a sturdy raid boss, giving off a completely different feeling than the troll on the 5th floor.
‘I had to gather more than three fire damage dealers to defeat it.’
The giant snake was hard to kill with most attacks.
But the giant snake wasn’t just sturdy.
It was very agile, and occasionally spewed poison out of its mouth, killing the players.
This boss is more demanding and harder to kill than the troll.
That was the Basilisk from the 9th floor.
“Feranet.”
“Yes?”
“Stand in front.”
“…Of course I should.”
Feranet is an undead.
Poison will only corrode its bones.
It was then.
“Kyak!”
The giant snake discovered Yujun and fluttered its tongue.
It was obvious what the giant snake would do after noticing his presence.
But it was Yujun who moved first.
He stepped on the head of Feranet in front and took a high leap forward.
“Ugh! My head!”
The skull was slippery, but he didn’t lose his balance thanks to his high Agility.
In an instant, Yujun appeared in front of the giant snake and swung his sword at its head, then he began to fall due to gravity.
Psh!
A single cut.
Boom! Thud!
The Basilisk with its head cut fell under the lake.
That was the end.
“…”
[Level has risen!]
[Level has risen!]
[Level has risen!]
[Level has risen!]
[Defeated Basilisk in one hit.]
[Obtained legendary title ‘Extreme Attack Power.’]
[An impossible achievement!]
[Obtained Legendary Item Box (Pick).]
Feranet, who was about to jump into battle, stopped.
