Chapter 264

264. God of Battle (2)

Drurreu─.

A stylish, portable storage cabinet squeaks into the conference room and stops in place.

There were several types of potions in the storage space of the mobile storage stand.

It’s nothing else...

“I brought all the potions needed for the treatment of challenger Han Seong-yoon...”

He brought all the special potions of the tower that he had secretly (?) requested from the president of the association before.

That’s a lot more than you might think.

It was almost obvious why he was doing this.

‘Now they’re noticing me at all...’

For some reason, it’s because Eric, a highly regarded challenger on Earth, was excluded.

It was worth it.

Eric, now with his head on the floor, would no longer be of any help to them.

The president of the association also found out at the point of incapacitating Eric in one fell swoop.

That I was needed to get rid of the gates related to towers appearing all over the world.

‘Eric can no longer be used, so he must depend on me now.’

That’s why the president of the association accepted such a ridiculous request right away.

It didn’t bother me that the Hunter Association matched my mood.

Anyway, the Hunter Association must have been paying close attention to the challenger named Eric.

That’s why he couldn’t stop Eric from doing crazy things while spewing his magic before.

‘I’d rather do this than watch out for a vicious challenger like Eric.’

After thinking about it, I smiled softly.

“I will gratefully accept these medicines given by the president of the association. Thanks to you, I think the headache will go away soon.”

And then, the potions in the storage stand that arrived at the seat were checked for each type.

「Skill proficiency increase potion」

「Grade: C+」

「Special potion specially prepared by the tower for beings with skills.」

「When taken, one of the possessed skills can be arbitrarily increased by 10%.」

First of all , I saw a skill proficiency increase potion.

‘As expected, this is also there.’

As always, the rank of the skill proficiency increase potion possessed by the Hunter Association was C+.

Perhaps it was not easy to secure a grade beyond that.

It was worth it.

The value of the skill proficiency increase potion to a challenger climbing the tower is immeasurable.

That’s why it was amazing to collect skill proficiency potions to this extent.

There were even 4 C+ level skill proficiency potions.

‘Can I get a 40% increase in skill proficiency with this?’

I felt very satisfied with that and took the skill proficiency increase potions.

‘After returning to the tower later, I’ll think about it and write it slowly.’

These are worth using after thinking through them.

「Specified stat increase potion」

「Grade: C+」

「Special potion produced by the tower that can be used on all beings with ability.」

「When taken, you can select one of the ability values and increase the corresponding ability by +1. 」

Then, the designated stat-up potion went through confirmation.

It was an intuitive effect.

Like a skill proficiency increase potion, you don’t even need to take care of it.

It’s not worth it to decide where to invest after thinking deeply about it later.

「You have consumed the specified stat-up potion (C+).」

「Select the stat that will increase your level.」

「You have taken the specified stat-up potion (C+)...

」 ...”

“Drinking a designated stat-up potion (C+)...”

“Selecting a stat to raise a value...”

As it were, he drank a total of 7 designated stat-up potions at once.

「Selection complete.」

「Challenger Han Seong-yoon’s

durability increases by +7.」

“Actually, this is the most serious problem. Orange gates appeared all over the world. Demons are rising there.”

Orange Gate.

Certainly none of the gates ever observed had anything like that.

It’s even more so when the monsters come out even though the dungeon break hasn’t happened.

After hearing that, I raised my hand and asked a question.

“Did you find out what an orange gate is?”

“...no. There was no way I could find out. The orange gate was different from the ones I’ve seen so far.”

“Then what causes monsters to appear even though it’s not even a dungeon break?”

“...I don’t know that either. However, there is one thing that the exploration hunters and challengers and related scholars have found out.”

“What if you found out?”

“The gate involved in multiple creation of the orange gate is located in Las Vegas, USA.”

A gate involved in the creation of a gate?

As he frowned, Joseph hurriedly lowered the screen in the conference room.

Then, an image of a building observing the sky appeared on the screen.

Perforation observed through various complex facilities in the video.

There was a black gate that crackled as if there was noise.

“It’s a black gate over Las Vegas under real-time observation.”

and.

“That’s the culprit behind the orange gates all over the world.”

As I looked over the screen at the black gate, Joseph continued.

“The US government and the Hunter Association are observing it in real time using various facilities... but to be honest, there is not much to know.”

He glanced at me breaking into a cold sweat and said in a trembling voice.

“That’s why I think I should lean on challenger Han Seong-yoon.”

“For me?”

“Yes.... In return, I will give you a full reward later. And if you want, you can take the challengers separately.”

“Is that so.”

Whatever it was, it didn’t matter.

The reason I came to Earth from the beginning was to solve that black gate.

And I had to find out why such a heterogeneous gate appeared on Earth.

‘If you step inside the gate, you’ll be able to get a rough idea of the situation.’

This is your chance to find out if it really is a trick played by one of the deities.

So I immediately nodded my head in agreement without hesitation.

Joseph smiled broadly as soon as permission was granted.

“thank you. Han Seong-yoon, challenger. The US government and the Hunter Association will not forget this...”

But Joseph’s words did not follow through.

Jijijijijijijijik—!

It’s nothing else...

Suddenly, a black gate visible over the screen made a loud noise.

Soon, the attention of the challengers in the conference hall was focused on the screen at once.

[Has it finally arrived...]

Suddenly, a man with red horns appeared from the black gate in the sky.

Unlike demonic monsters, it looks like it has a proper outfit.

He was also wearing a fancy suit like a nobleman in the Middle Ages.

But that’s not all that’s unique.

“Is this a skill...? Well, what kind of voice is that...”

As one of the challengers in the conference room said...

The man in a suit with horns that appeared from the black gate was different.

It was worth it.

A voice with an extremely high level was resonating through the speakers.

Only then did I realize one fact.

“....”

That’s.....

[Foolish things. listen I am a third-class apostle who serves the god of battle. This is Kramache Lugnes. ]

As you guessed, the situation that is currently happening in the Earth dimension is related to me.

[Who is your god?]

The god of battle.

The existence that had built up a complicated bad relationship with each other while climbing the tower until now...

Now it was sending an apostle and openly declaring war.
