Chapter 255: Just Like That

Chapter 255: Just Like That

TL: Hanguk

Black Tower, 1st Floor Plaza.

Hunters who had evacuated from the sudden bombardment on the 4th floor of the tower filled the plaza.

And,

Murmur, murmur.

Hunters conversed with each other, trying to understand what had happened.

Among these hunters,

What?! Youre saying a cat swung its paw in the sky and turned dozens of kilometers of experience farms to dust?

Yes! I saw it from the top of Mount Kaizal! I saw a yellow cat and a brown baby bear in the sky, swinging their paws and destroying the farm!

A bald hunter, over 2 meters tall and muscular, gesticulated wildly, describing the scene he had witnessed on the 4th floor.

However,

What?! A cat? A baby bear? Thats nonsense This guy has lost his mind. Lexton, get a grip.

Its true!

His peers ignored and mocked Lextons claims. It was fortunate they didnt see Iona on Theos tail.

If Lexton had said that a small, cute, white hamster created a giant firestorm and wiped away the experience farm, he would have been ridiculed even more.

Actually, he might have been completely dismissed as a liar and ostracized by the other hunters.

Its really true

Disheartened by the dismissal of the surrounding hunters, Lexton quietly closed his mouth when,

Could you tell me more about what you said earlier? Did you really see a yellow cat and a brown baby bear?

A man with black hair approached and asked.

It was Kim Dong-sik, who was heading to the 41st floor of the tower to procure sturdy blade green onions and detoxifying green onions, but he stopped in his tracks, intrigued by the mention of a yellow cat and baby bear.

Yes! Its true! Look, I have a photo!

Seeing Kim Dong-sik interested in his story, Lexton hurriedly showed him the photo he took with his hunter phone, eager to clear his name.

Theo is on the 4th floor.

Thanks to Lexton, Kim Dong-sik learned that Theo was on the 4th floor. The baby bear next to him was undoubtedly Cuengi, Theos fourth younger sibling he often talked about.

But Cuengi never leaves Sejuns side, does he?

Wondering if Sejun might be on the 4th floor, Kim Dong-sik thought,

Heres 10 Tower Coins. Go to my master, show him this photo, and tell him exactly what you told me. Ill give you 10 more Tower Coins.

Really? Who should I go to?

Kim Dong-sik promised a reward and sent Lexton to Han Tae-jun.

And then,

If its the master, he will surely come to the fourth floor to meet Park Sejun.

Eager to find Sejun before Han Tae-juns arrival, Kim Dong-sik headed to the 4th floor.

***

Muahahaha! Im overflowing with magic power! Thunder Throw!

Boom!

Thanks to Iona continuously recharging his magic power, Sejun no longer worried about depleting it.

As a result, Sejun could keep dropping gigantic thunderbolts on the Black Skeletons for hours.

And then,

Sizzle.

[The power of purification contained within the thunder cleanses forces that defy the natural order.]

[The soul control exerted by the Undying Lich King, Immortal over Limans soul is completely released.]

[The soul of Liman, under the control of the Undying Lich King, Immortal, is liberated.]

..

.

Sejuns continuous thunder attacks from morning liberated five souls from Immortal at once.

We thank you for granting us peace. All we, who are even incomplete in soul, can offer to you, Sejun, is a little insignificant enlightenment we have gained about martial arts. Please accept our enlightenment.

Swoosh.

The five Black Skeletons turned into white powder, achieving nirvana,

Floating.

The five orbs of white light left by the knights approached and were absorbed by Sejun.

[Knight Liman has passed on his enlightenment to you.]

[You have learned Basic Martial Arts Lv. 1.]

[The proficiency of Basic Martial Arts Lv. 1 has been filled and the level has increased.]

[The proficiency of Basic Martial Arts Lv. 2 has been filled and the level has increased.]

..

.

[You have mastered Basic Martial Arts.]

[You have learned Intermediate Martial Arts Lv. 1.]

[The proficiency of Intermediate Martial Arts Lv. 1 has been filled and the level has increased.]

Along with the messages, Sejun learned Intermediate Martial Arts Lv. 2 and Basic Archery Lv. 5, and was able to level up his Intermediate Swordsmanship and Intermediate Shield Technique by one level each.

Swoosh. Swoosh.

Sejun tried out his newly acquired skills with a punch.

Whoosh.

Wow!

His punches, now fully powered and different from before, created wind strong enough to push a person. Hehe, quite useful!

-Ssss.

Kellion and Ramter, who had to wait a few more days for their reserved Samyangju, enviously watched Kaisers bottles of Samyangju.

Ramter had already replaced his armor with a new red dragon statue crafted by Udon. He had casually discarded his old armor in the farm.

-Kukhukhukhu.

Pop.

Feeling the envious gaze of the two, Kaiser smugly opened a bottle of Samyangju. The exquisite aroma spread as soon as the bottle was opened.

Want some?

Kaiser asked, noticing the two unable to take their eyes off the bottle.

Yes!

Yeah!

Nod, nod.

The two eagerly nodded in response.

Kukhukhukhu. Alright. Ill generously share some.

Just as Kaiser was about to share the Samyangju,

What?! Dragons in the 10th Tower?

The Apostle of Destruction in the 10th Tower?!

Halphas?!

All three simultaneously received reports about the situation in the 10th Tower.

And then,

See you in a moment.

Right.

Lets meet outside.

To rescue the dragons in the 10th Tower and fight Halphas, leaders of each dragon tribe led 100 elite dragons each to the 10th Tower.

***

Thunder Throw!

After lunch, Sejun had been attacking the Black Skeletons for about two hours.

Boom!

[The power of purification contained within the thunder cleanses forces that defy the natural order.]

[The soul control exerted by the Undying Lich King, Immortal over Yurids soul is completely released.]

[The soul of Yurid, under the control of the Undying Lich King, Immortal, is liberated.]

..

.

Twenty souls were simultaneously liberated from Immortal, a result of the continuous weakening of Immortals control by the power of purification.

Swish.

As Sejun absorbed the white orbs left by the knights, he learned Basic Axe Technique, leveling it up to 7,

[You have mastered Intermediate Swordsmanship.]

[You have learned Advanced Swordsmanship Lv. 1.]

[The proficiency of Advanced Swordsmanship Lv. 1 has been filled and the level has increased.]

[The proficiency of Advanced Swordsmanship Lv. 2 has been filled and the level has increased.]

He mastered Intermediate Swordsmanship and raised the skill level of Advanced Swordsmanship to 3.

More knights souls achieved nirvana as Immortals soul control was already significantly weakened,

[You have leveled up.]

[You have gained 1 bonus stat.]

In the process, Sejun leveled up, reaching level 68, and his Rain Thunder skill level also increased once more.

As a result, Purification power strengthened, and the liberation of souls became faster.

Thunder Throw.

[You have defeated the first sword of the Undying Lich King, Immortal.]

[You have gained 1,000,000 experience points.]

After Sejun had defeated all the summoned Black Skeletons,

Summon them again.

Sejun ordered Immortal,

Ill never do it! Even if I die, I wont!

Immortal started to resist.

Currently, the number of souls under Immortals control ranged from the strongest first sword to the tenth sword, totaling ten souls.

Liberating them meant Immortals own death.

Really? Youd rather die?

Yes! Ill never do it!

Immortal sternly answered Sejuns question. Sejun decided to use his last resort.

Aileen, hes resisting

Tattling to Aileen.

And then,

[The towers administrator asks who dares to defy you.]

Just like that.

Sejun quietly pointed at Immortal.
