. mother of the dead

'Pendariel'

(4)

Hyperesthesia beyond the senses.

It's not the kind that can be stopped by seeing and reacting.

'I was born with the talent to feel the current sword strike.'

or.

'Or become a dead person who memorizes all the swords.'

Only one of the two can survive before this queen.

And he already knew which of the two would suit him better.

Rather than the innate nature of innate talent, it is acquired while enjoying it.

This is the path that the deceased should be heading.

Kaaan!

A dazzling flame shattered.

Jinhyuk slashed a sword aimed at the heart.

The distance between the two of them narrowed by one step due to one vain grooming.

Wow!

After the attack was thwarted, Pendariel launched a second attack.

['Second Sword (第二劍)']

This time, the tip of the sword was split into countless forks.

The divided dots were blurry.

['Dispatch']

The blade erased the remnants of the blade, and sped to tear the enemy apart.

front and back left and right.

It was a sword strike like a storm with no blind spots.

Kaka Kaka Kaka!

However, this time the result was the same.

Jinhyuk moved his twin dragon swords as if he had measured them with a ruler.

Not a single one of those many attacks had a valid hit.

The distance between the two narrowed again.

This time it's my turn.

A cold breeze rose from Jinhyuk's fingertips.

[Lv5 'Glacier Formation' and 'Black Ice' are activated!]

Using 'Glacier Sculpting' to create an ice sheet and cause the opponent to lose their center of gravity.

ね!?

[Lv1 'Sword Demon King Treasure (劍魔帝王步)' is activated!]

kukuku bang!

Using 'Sword Demon King's Bo', he showed a surprisingly grotesque movement even at close range.

Aww!

Pendariel roared in anger.

A movement that is almost impossible to catch while raising a lot of medicine.

Trees that withstand typhoons are broken.

However, wind-adapted reeds survive.

Jinhyeok did not face the huge waves, but simply acknowledged and accepted it.

so that.

Kaang!

It's always the last laugh.

Kaka Kaka!

'It's me.'

Finally, the gap I had been waiting for appeared.

Jinhyuk put his twin dragon swords on the ground and pulled out a sickle that cuts causality.

Bill... omg! This can't be... I can't! Me. Only. To a human!

Pendariel's mouth was torn horizontally.

Can't be this strong

How can a human who can't live for 100 years have so many abilities?

Even with perfect abilities without any gaps.

However, no matter how negligent and vicious they were, it was too late.

The distance between the two was already close enough to feel breathing.

Scratch!

The first crack heard after the battle started.

A drop of blood flowing from the neatly cut cut end marked the end of the fight.

[The 4th floor boss monster 'Pendariel' has fallen!]

[The 5th floor of the Tower of Trials is open!]

[Time remaining until conquering next floor: 89D 23h:59m:59s]

[Level has risen.]

[Level has risen.]

[Level has risen.]

[You have succeeded in defending the base. 'A-class random boxes (5 pieces)' were given according to the number of bases.]

[You have obtained the 'Advanced Skill Enhancement Book (1ea)' as a reward for the most kills.]

[You have obtained a '10% discount coupon for coin exchange fee (1 time)' as a popular vote reward.]

[You have obtained the 'Magic Library Admission Ticket (1 time)' as a reward for defeating the Hidden Boss Monster.]

Numerous status windows pouring out.

who would have expected

Anubis and the Egyptian divinities, convinced of their victory, were speechless.

Still, he was much stronger than the boss on the 3rd floor. The unhonored guy was hiding behind his subordinates.

Jinhyuk said in an emotionless voice.

Of course, you won't be able to hear from a queen who has already lost her life.

The fierce battle of the fourth floor was over.

Considering the desperate situation, it was a reversal that was close to a miracle.

And now, 24 hours later, a bar in Hongdae.

Here, Jinhyeok and the rest of the people who fought together in the defense of the base set up a quiet place to relax.

Brother! Here it is!

Yoo Yeon-hwa waved her hand.

When fighting in the tower, he wore knuckles dripping with blood and used a martial art that was so bloody that people who watched it trembled... .

Outside, I came out wearing a hoodie in a comfortable sweatshirt.

It looks pretty fresh.

Brother! Are you here?

Taemin Lee was also wearing jeans and a black tee.

Maybe the point is that he wears a white hat upside down.

Sorry, are you a little late?

No. We just came. By the way, has he really become a completely different person? At first glance, I thought he was a celebrity.

"Hyung, can't we just do things like this in the tower?"

After taking a long break, I went to the hairdresser and bought a few clothes, and the reaction changed 180 degrees.

Come to think of it, even the hairdresser said that waxing is much better.

At the time, I thought it was a commercial lip service, but looking at the reactions of the two people, it seems it wasn't completely empty.

If you dress up like this, what time are you going to climb the tower?

Jinhyuk smirked.

And he opened his mouth again.

What about Teresa?

Theresa said she had to stay for an hour or so. They told me to eat with you first?

Unlike Jinhyuk, Teresa went back through the gate on the European side where she came from.

It would have been nice to have come with you, but after being told that there was something important to do in Europe, I had no choice but to join in the back.

If she is a ranker, she will have a private plane, so the road to Korea will not be too difficult.

finally.

I saw a man sitting in the corner of the table.

buzzing around.

Did you see that man?

"Wait a minute and talk to me."

Wow! I think I just made eye contact.

He has good proportions with his stature, so whatever he wears will make a difference.

Besides, it exudes a chic atmosphere that seems to contain all the worries of the world, so everyone's eyes are bound to be noticed.

Anyway, I'm catching shit.

I'm here.

Know.

"I thought you wouldn't come or you would be a few hours late, but did you keep your promise?"

Jinhyuk stifled a laugh.

Because I remembered the process of bringing him to this place.

-Come to the bar at Hongdae Exit 3 by 7pm tomorrow night. We'll all have a beer together.

- That's funny. Why should I participate in such a place?

Cheon Yu-seong frowned, but

-You have to participate in that kind of place to know how to pick what you want from the random box, right?

Jinhyuk promised to come all the way to Hongdae.

I actually kept my promise.

Anyway, that guy.

I thought he was a total neighborhood gangster in the way he talks and acts.

I know I am a medical student. Also at Korea University.

I am genuinely worried about the safety of the person who will be his first patient in the future.

Because it was so obvious that he was swinging a sword instead of a scalpel if he made a mistake during surgery.

"Please, if I get hurt, call a healer or just kill me."

What other nonsense is that?

"I think it would be easier for me to just die because I entrust my body to you "

Don't worry. A ball is a ball and a living. I will do my best to save the patient I am assigned to.

shit. I can't even joke about this.

Jinhyuk clicked his tongue and drank a glass of beer.

The chilled ice beer seeped into his body, which was hot from the frantic fighting and running.

I immediately ripped a piece of chicken coated in spicy sauce.

Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

Great.

An exclamation came out of Jinhyuk's mouth.

Moderate sweat and fatigue are also essential to properly enjoy this taste.

But right then.

[Give me too. Don't eat only you rudely!]

A shrill voice came out of the ring.

It was Elise.

After the battle on the 3rd floor, he was quiet to recover mana, but how he knew the timing to eat revealed his presence like a ghost.

After all, I've been stuck in the corridor for hundreds of thousands of eons, so I'm sure you're curious about the food of the outside world.

Maybe this will save the price of alcohol and increase the side income.

I really want to let them eat together, but this is quite expensive. No matter how much I am, it puts a burden on my wallet.

[Is it expensive? How much do you mean?]

Jinhyuk deliberately made a serious expression.

I need at least one diamond the size of a thumb. Still, it's a little money compared to the whole drink, but considering our relationship, I'll take that in particular.

like being kind.

like a colleague.

The key is to properly use Alice's psychological burden.

[That's it, my dear. I wouldn't be the type of person to get it for free.]

Alice answered with a solemn voice.

After all, the big and wealthy Hogu is always Shadow.

Especially at a drinking party.

Hey. Are you saying this is sake made by Mimul?

Alice's two eyes shone brightly.

From a black dress with gorgeous lace to a necklace adorned with rubies and gold.

The fact that I could go outside with so much effort, I decorated it to the fullest and went out.

"It's called draft beer."

Ummm! Not bad! It can't be compared with the finest blood or wines that have enjoyed many years, but it's still quite thirsty.

You sound like a craftsman and you're embarrassed.

That's a 2,500 won beer that is mass-produced at the factory.

Especially today, 1+1 event is being held to commemorate the attack on the 4th floor.

Eat this too.

This ?

It's called chicken. It's coated with soy sauce and seasoning sauce.

It's meat... I don't really like it, but I'm trying hard to recommend it, so I'll try it just once.

Elise elegantly sliced the chicken thigh meat with a fork.

I wanted to eat while pooping.

Soon his eyes changed.

This is like the eyes of a beast that has caught its prey.

Jinhyuk sneaks to eat a piece of chicken.

Cheengkang!

Elise defended it with a fork.

" "

never. I felt the will to not pass even a single fragment.

Yes. When it comes to meat dishes, they must be boiled or grilled, so of course your eyes will roll. Sprinkling salt on the seasoning would have been a luxury.

Eat a lot. I'm paying it specially for you.

Thank you. Don't forget this.

Alice grabbed the beer mug with a recalled expression.

If you look at it this way, she is a very innocent girl.

Who would look at this little boy and think it was Jinjo, one of the strongest in the tower?

Everyone! I'm here!

After a while, Teresa also joined, and the atmosphere at the drinking party grew even hotter.

They ate delicious food, remembered what happened in the tower, and enjoyed their victory.

However, it was at a time when everyone was in the middle of talking.

Cheeky!

The TV volume in the center of the bar went up.

People's attention was focused.

This is because there was a special feature related to the Tower of Trials, not gossip or sports in the entertainment industry.

[As the attack on the 4th floor succeeded this time, attention is being focused on the 5th floor to come later.]

[Yes, that's right. There were many ups and downs, but this time, he was ranked as a Korean ranker. Thanks to Kang Jin-hyuk player, I was able to get to the 5th floor safely.]

A man and a woman continued the conversation.

[Before we talk about the 5th floor, can we see the simply organized data so that ordinary citizens can understand?]

[of course. The table shown below shows the player who played the biggest role in dealing with the boss monsters from the 1st floor to the 4th floor and the country to which that player belongs.]

Patrick of the American Titan Guild who cleared the first floor.

Maria of the European Olympus Guild and Namgungcheon of the Chinese Guild who cleared the 2nd floor. And theresa, an independent player.

Unknown Unknown who cleared the 3rd floor.

Jinhyuk Kang, a Korean ranker who cleared the 4th floor.

A top ranker in each country and the hope of mankind.

The names of the pioneers who will conquer the tower of the future are listed.

[Wow! Just hearing the name makes my heart feel grand.]

[haha. So am I. It seems like these people will somehow lead mankind to the next level.]

[Then, please explain about the 5th floor this time.]

The female announcer handed the microphone.

[All right.]

5th floor.

The main theme of the place where players should spend the next 90 days.

[The 5th floor is .]
