Chapter 27

Episode 27

– End of the 9th stage of the test.

– Calculate test results.

– Calculating the test...

– Adventurer < Demian > got 10 points.

– Open the 10th stage of the test.

“Hmm.”

Damian stood up as he saw the iron barred door open in front of him.

The whole body was covered in blood.

Of course, the blood was not her own, but it was the blood shed by the ghosts of the monsters that appeared at Summon Gate.

The difficulty of Summon Gate began to increase rapidly after level 7, and Damian was able to breathe only after defeating the level 8 oak warrior and three level 9 dark elves.

It was something that could be vaguely guessed that Summon Gate’s test monsters had been upgraded differently from before.

‘Who is controlling it from behind?’

Damian opened his mouth and looked at the door on the next step, lost in thought.

In fact, it was something that anyone but him would have suspected.

According to my memories of my previous life, the 8th and 9th levels of Summon Gate are slime and skeleton mages, which are far behind the Orc Warriors and Dark Elves.

However, there were monsters that boasted a much higher level of difficulty than that, so he had no choice but to be suspicious.

“It doesn’t matter. As long as it’s properly rewarded.”

Of course, it was not a question of whether or not you could clear the game, but whether or not you would be rewarded appropriately for it.

‘Step 10. It’s the last gateway...’

Jeobeok Jeobeok!

Damian murmured as he headed for the grate door leading to the next level.

It was the final gateway.

Officially, the test conducted by Summon Gate has a total of 10 stages.

Besides, Damian, who already had memories of his previous life, did not feel stressed at the final gate of Summon Gate.

It was because he knew all the DBs of tolerable monsters that existed in AC as well as the last gate of Summon Gate.

So, the only monsters that could appear at level 10 were the Slime King, Mud Golem, and Blood Goblin.

So, it was natural for Damian to wonder what grade he would receive rather than clearing the last 10 levels.

It was said that it was human nature to be more interested in jetbap than ancestral rites.

Although it took up a bit of time thanks to the unfortunate incident (?) that occurred in the first stage, it was a fact that no one could deny that his average clearing time was unmatched.

– Krrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

“Hmm?”

So, while Damien was guessing the tier of his license, he suddenly expressed his doubts about the sound coming from the other side of the arched door.

It was because the monsters he predicted didn’t even let out a cry like that, and a strange shadow was growing in size in front of his eyes.

“...There’s no way this could happen.”

– Mureaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Before long, a ferocious roar began to roar across the battlefield at Summon Gate.

* * *

“What the hell are these bastards doing?”

“Muuuuuuu!!”

thud! cooong!

Damian clicked his tongue as he watched the monster approaching.

At first glance, it was a huge monster that seemed to be 4 meters tall.

< Minotaur >!

A monster that can only be found in the dungeon called < Julderos's Labyrinth > in the southern continent, and a monster with enough strength to rip a human body to both sides!

Such a Minotaur was a monster with a whopping level of over 70, and it was a monster that adventurers of a tolerable level had to run without even thinking about.

Even if it crossed the line, it was firmly crossed.

I should have known about sending a bunch of Orcs instead of a bunch of slimes earlier, and sending Dark Elves instead of Skeleton Mages.

However, even he, who was in his 10th year of life, could not have easily predicted that he would send out a monster this big.

[Illusion of the Minotaur]

An illusion created by imitating the < Minotaur >, a monster that appears in < The Labyrinth of Xylderos >. It has no magical ability, but boasts a body strong enough to break rocks with its bare hands. It is also famous for never letting go of an opponent once it has been caught, and has a habit of slamming the opponent on the ground until it turns into porridge. Some even claim that this cruel and savage monster perpetrates such acts to make its prey tender.

Race: Beast

Type: Normal

Level: ???

Special note: Although it looks like a Minotaur, it’s an illusion created by Summon Gate, so fight with confidence!

“Such a fucking foot.”

Damian spat out curses at the information about the Minotaur floating in front of him.

It was absurd.

No matter how much the platoon head standing in front of me is a monster that is only an illusion, it is undeniable that the monster that is based on it is a monster of level 70 or higher!

Moreover, considering that the illusion also followed the main body’s actions, the Minotaur’s illusion could be said to be a monster that was difficult to defeat even today’s Damian.

Most adventurers would be folded in half.

No, if I recall that cruel habit, I would probably grab both of my legs and swing them as if threshing them.

“Anyway.... I think I’m giving this shit up on purpose

...”

bang! Bang!

So, Damian licked his lips at the sight of the Minotaur clashing his two fists while wondering if the person in charge of Summon Gate was not an ordinary person but a crazy psychopath.

Can-can-can-can!

Just as the Minotaur’s vision induced him, Damian was turning his < +5 Superior Polechan > like a windmill and shifting his position to defense.

“Muuuuuuu!!!”

Kwaji support!

Damian stopped attacking for a split second and his eyes lit up.

It was the appearance of abandoning the defensive stance of crossing the forearms.

An attack that radiates red eyes for an instant and grabs rocks on the ground while throwing a house-sized rock at the same time!

“Such a crazy ox-headed bastard!!!”

bang! bang! bang! bang! bang!

In time, Damian felt the need to focus all his attention on dodging the throwing attacks of the minotaur while flagship at the boulders thrown by the illusion.

It was a ruthless attack.

Although the attack was not unavoidable, it contained enough power to go to the nether road if the slightest mistake was made.

It was because even that speed was powerful enough to remind me of a baseball pitcher’s fastball.

“Do you think I’m going to be hit by such a slow attack?”

“Mueot!!!”

Whoops!

Damian rushed quickly, swearing at the Minotaur’s vision.

He had opened his “Sixth Sense” to the maximum.

The scenery of the test site that stretches like Bullet Time and the illusion of the Minotaur and being swept away by the feeling that you can only see yourself.

And Damian felt his blood boil with the unknown joy that ran through his whole body even as he was scratched by the shrapnel that brushed his cheek.

‘Yes, this feeling...’

Fighting spirit!

The feeling I felt at the crossroads of life and death in the old days, when I was committing myself, was rising like an active volcano at this moment.

“Where shall we see how soft it is?”

“Meow?!”

As Damian rushed at the Minotaur’s vision at lightning speed, he let out a puzzle.

It was a much more advanced move than before.

Of course, it was a sign to get hit only once before, but now it’s a maneuver that can’t bear to predict the irregular movement?

“Mueeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Let’s go!

And at the sight of the Minotaur, a terrifying cutting sound resonated in his ears, and at the same time he could feel a terrible pain as if an egg were being pierced through his whole body.

“oh. What’s your toughness?

Remembrance!

Unknowingly, Damian took out the < +9 Sashimi > and climbed up the fist that the Minotaur’s vision had hit him, passing through his forearm and slashing it up to the top of his head in an instant.

“Was it about this?”

“...?!”

And the moment Damian’s gaze ran down his neck, and the < +9 Sashimi > in his hand pierced the nape of his neck.

“Muh muh... billion...”

Kuung!

Soon, the illusion of the Minotaur staggered as if drunk, and the 4-meter-long figure began to collapse with its butt on the floor.

“It’s coming out great.”

Fuhuaaaagh!

It was blood gushing out like a fountain.

* * *

[Notification: Critical!]

[Notification: The Minotaur’s illusion causes < Bleeding >!]

[Notice: The Minotaur’s illusion is < death >!]

....

[Notice: The Minotaur The illusion of has been eliminated!]

“...What is it.”

Damian turned his head when the guidance voice of the exam hall came out.

Before I knew it, the vision of the Minotaur was reconciled with a beam of light.

Would it be a trivial ending to be an ambitiously prepared gateway?

“Definitely...”

And while Damian swung < +9 Sashimi > once, he felt that he could not even judge his own level.

The more you get used to the super sense < Sixth Sense >, the more you get used to it.

The more you get used to the feeling of the limit being lifted, the more you get used to it.

His character was growing by leaps and bounds to the extent that common sense would not understand it.

– End of the 10th stage of the test.

– Calculate test results.

– Calculating the test...

– Adventurer < Demian > got 10 points.

– A total score of 100 points.

– End the test.

Charrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Before long, the final iron bars of the Summon Gate opened in front of Damian’s eyes.
