79 Dangerous Company
Team Leader Park Minggyu couldn’t help but flick his finger. He stared at Great Thief Elion and User Minhyuk who had reached the 40th floor.
“C, crazy......!”
“What’s the matter?”
Everyone turned their attention to Team Leader Park.
“All of User Minhyuk’s plans are being enacted right now.”
“What are you saying?”
“Huh?”
Manager Kim Daesik, President Kang Taehoon and Lee Minhwa focused on his words.
“User Minhyuk knew most of the information about the tower up to the 50th floor. Even the 40th floor.”
“That’s right.”
“Yeah. It’s thanks to Aruven and the bet he made with Roven, the tower’s architect.”
“So User Minhyuk knew that the 40th floor needed a chef.”
All of them nodded their heads in agreement.
“And he knows that he’s the one who’s most likely to be able to meet the conditions for that floor. So Callauhel would be placed in a situation where he had to choose. He would either take his time to find another user or just cast his net to User Minhyuk. But both choices are close to impossible.”
Team Leader Park gulped his saliva to moisten his throat before continuing his words.
“User Minhyuk has accelerated his pace in climbing the tower. This was so he could put pressure on Callauhel. If you don’t hurry up and clear it then I’ll be there in no time or something like that. Of course, teaming up together is impossible since the two are hostile against each other. Now, Callauhel’s position was simple.”
“......?”
“Break the trial with User Minhyuk’s help by all means necessary.”
President Kang Taehoon’s eyes widened in shock.
“So Great Thief Elion has to create a quest for that?”
“That’s right.”
Team Leader Park gulped again before continuing once more.
“User Minhyuk will receive a quest from Great Thief Elion. And Callauhel will pretend to be an NPC to lead Minhyuk. And User Minhyuk is most definitely sharpening his blade while pretending to be fooled.”
“......”
“......”
“......”
All of them were left speechless. It was a ridiculously impossible plan. First of all, Minhyuk did not know of the existence of Great Thief Elion. However, he knew that Callauhel would make a move to use him in any way possible. In other words, he was reversing their roles.
“H, he’s going to do...... that plan?”
Manager Kim Daesik still couldn’t believe it. He couldn’t believe that Minhyuk intentionally fell for their plan as he prepared to give them a big shock. It was like everything was on the palm of his hands.
Team Leader Park Minggyu’s eyes returned back to the monitor. He took in a breath before speaking again.
“I’m sure of one thing. If User Minhyuk is not obsessed with food and he plays like a regular player......”
For a moment, goosebumps rose all over Team Leader Park’s body.
“And if he had a regular job class...... Then, that user would have been in the top ten of the world’s ranking”

There was a reason why Minhyuk could easily tell their plans as soon as an old man showed up in front of him. It was because he knew a lot about the 40th floor.
The 40th floor was the floor where ‘King Arthur’ appeared. And he knew that King Arthur would give a quest that would require the strength of a few vassals and users. According to Aruvel, the 40th floor was also unlike other floors in a way that it could be climbed without clearing the floor.
But an old man greeted him as soon as he climbed to the 40th floor. He was obviously not King Arthur. Then, the man said......
“You’re really amazing for climbing the 40th floor. My name is Bero. Can you listen to my story?”
The old man continued to talk.
“A long time ago, I lost my beloved to the being called ‘Sly Devil Diablo’. So I chased him with my colleagues. But killing him was not an easy task because that bastard hid at the last trial in this place. And one would need the power of an excellent chef to clear the trials. I need the chef’s cooking to lure and tempt the monster in the sixth trial and get a piece of the broken blade. Can you do it for me?”Nêww chapters will be fully updated at novelhall.com
Then, a notification rang at that moment.
Ring!
[The quest that will be created will change depending on the user’s job class.]
[To become the Dragon’s Monarch, you must be able to ‘communicate’ sincerely.]
[We hope that you can communicate your sincerity with Krakana of the Destruction.]
Krakana of the Destruction was a huge dragon with reddish scales covering his entire body. Then, he flew high up in the sky as he opened his mouth.
“Kyaaahaaaaaack!”
[Destruction Dragon’s Breath.]
[You will receive an additional 300% damage as soon as the attack hits you.]
Shwaaaaaaaak―
A strange sense of death suddenly appeared in Black Dragon’s head when he saw the breath that was rushing at him.
Flap―
With a loud sound, black wings spread out from his back. It was none other than Poison Dragon.
[Poison Dragon’s Wings.]
[At the moment of danger, he will spread his wings to protect you. He will also shoot ‘Dragon Plumes’ and randomly target your enemies with poison.]
Fwoosh, fwoosh―
Black Dragon flew as high as he could. Then, a square shield made out of bones appeared in front of him.
Bang―
The square shield collided strongly with the incoming Breath.
“Keuheop!”
Black Dragon groaned from the powerful impact of the shockwave and fell from the height he was staying at.
Crack, crack, crack, crack―
Cracking sounds suddenly echoed from the bone shield as Krakana of the Destruction slammed against Black Dragon.
Bang―
Smoke engulfed the huge area.
“Kyahahahahaha!”
The Demon Sorcerer laughed loudly.
But then......
Shwaaaaaak―
As the dust cleared, the man that dared challenge him appeared. And in his hands was a red spear that looked like it was made of bones. It was Britney’s ‘Dragon’s Tear Sword’ which turned into ‘Blood’s Tear Spear’. There was also a huge pair of wings that protected Black Dragon from the attack.
Flash―
Black Dragon’s wings spread out as he began to fly.
“Graaaaack!”
Krakana of the Destruction opened his huge mouth to bite on Black Dragon.
Bang―
Black Dragon successfully escaped letting the fierce dragon bite on empty air. Then, Black Dragon opened his mouth to speak to him.
“I’m not going to fight you.”
“Fufufufufufu. I don’t know if you can survive then.”
The Demon Sorcerer laughed wickedly.
But Black Dragon just tried to have a ‘dialogue’ with Krakana. He spoke of words that he believed would heal and cure him. His words were filled with sincerity!
“You’ll be with your siblings. And you, me, and the other dragons will defeat the evil of this world together! We will become the justice of this world!!!”
At the same time, Ruslein, the sorcerer, got goosebumps from the words that he heard.
‘What a cringey line......!’
The Dragon of Destruction, Krakana, was known to be the most brutal and violent among all four of the legendary dragons. No one could tame him at all. This was also the reason why the sorcerer couldn’t tame him despite injecting him with magi for quite a long time. However, he thought that it would be different if the owner that Krakana had been waiting for suddenly came. But now......
“How can you say that to win Krakana’s favor!”
Demon Ruslein truly laughed at him from the bottom of his heart. He couldn’t believe that the man in front of him would use such a cringey line to win the favor of such a brutal dragon.
However......
[Krakana of the Destruction’s explosive state has calmed down. He is now beginning to heal.]
The Demon Sorcerer couldn’t help but tilt his head in confusion.
