Transcendent Warrior With A Dimensional Shifting Inventory 82

The entrance to the Demon’s Tower wasn’t an ordinary door.
It was a curtain of light, similar to Gaon’s teleportation gate.

One of the officers asked Minhyuk, “Your Majesty, I will lead the soldiers and enter first to ensure safety!”
It was a request born out of loyalty.
However, Minhyuk didn’t allow it.
‘There’s no guarantee that the entrance will remain open.’
Before executing the demon worshipers, he had interrogated them and learned the conditions for opening the entrance to the Demon’s Tower.
It was a grotesque method that required sacrificing a living human being as a burnt offering.
However, once opened, he didn’t know how long it would stay open,
or if there was a limit to the number of people who could enter.
“I’ll go in first.”
Minhyuk placed Gaon outside the Demon’s Tower.
Its counterpart, Gaon, was in the refrigerator.
He would use Gaon if he needed to leave the Demon’s Tower in a hurry.
Thud, thud-
Minhyuk stepped through the curtain of light and into the Demon’s Tower.
Whoosh-
The surroundings were blindingly bright.
The outside of the Demon’s Tower was a freezing cold night, but the inside was bright and warm.
‘The heating is good.’
A vast meadow spread out before Minhyuk’s eyes.
It was incredibly mystical.
Even from the outside, the Demon’s Tower was enormous.
The area of a single floor seemed to be about the size of an Olympic stadium.
However, once he entered, it was so wide that he could see the horizon.
The area was different when viewed from the outside compared to when he actually entered.
He looked up, but there was no ceiling.
A clear blue sky was visible, as if he were outdoors.
Clang-
Minhyuk shot an arrow towards the sky.
He wanted to see if there was a ceiling that was hidden by an illusion.
Whoosh-
The arrow shot up high and then fell to the ground.
It was too high for the arrow to reach.
‘This is amazing.’
Minhyuk turned around.
The entrance had disappeared.
“Welcome, guest.”
Surprised by the voice so close at hand, I turned my head.
A beast of a form I had never seen before was looking at Minhyuk.
Its head resembled a dog’s, but it had eight legs and wings.
“Who are you?”
“I am the guide of the Magic Tower. By the order of the master, I am in charge of guiding guests who visit the Magic Tower.”
“Master?”
“Yes, the master is waiting for you on the top floor.”
“Waiting for me?”
“That is correct. The master is waiting for someone to reach the top floor.”
The master of the Magic Tower. I’ll be able to see what kind of being they are if I go up to the top later.
Minhyuk asked the question he was most curious about.
“Can only one person enter the Magic Tower?”
“Since you have paid the entrance fee for one person, only one person can enter.”
To enter the Magic Tower, one had to offer 50 living humans as a burnt offering.
So, even if the black magicians hadn’t been interrupted by Minhyuk, they wouldn’t have been able to enter the Magic Tower since they had only prepared 35 burnt offerings.
Perhaps Heron, the leader of the black magicians, intended to enter the Magic Tower by sacrificing his subordinates’ lives at the end.
Anyway, the number of black magicians Minhyuk had burned to death was 55.
That’s why only one person could enter.
“What if I want to go outside the Magic Tower later?”
“It’s very easy to go outside. If you shout ‘Let me out’ in the safe zone, you can go outside the tower.”
There was a safe zone on each floor that was free of monsters and traps.
Once you entered the safe zone, you could leave the Magic Tower at any time.
“What if I go outside and want to enter the Magic Tower again?”
“Of course, you will have to pay the entrance fee again.”
It was a disposable entrance ticket that cost 50 lives and could only be used once.
“Isn’t the entrance fee too expensive?”
“Please understand. The Magic Tower is operated solely by the entrance fees paid by the guests. And considering the treasures you can obtain inside the Magic Tower, it’s not that expensive.”
I can’t kill 50 humans every time I enter the Magic Tower.
This time, I executed those who deserved to die and entered the Magic Tower, but I don’t know if I’ll have a similar opportunity next time.
‘Should I make the most of it while I’m here?’
Originally, I planned to go outside the Magic Tower once I obtained the heart of the dragon.
I intended to restore Sylphir’s altar and then re-enter the Magic Tower later.
Since the emperor of the empire can’t neglect his duties and stay in the Magic Tower all the time.
As he examined the map closely, he noticed several golden dots in addition to the location of the passage to the upper floor.
‘Could it be?’
Perhaps those dots were the locations of the golden scroll ‘Nosco.’
Min-hyuk was interested not only in the Dragon’s Heart but also in the Nosco.
So he needed to check it out.
Min-hyuk headed towards the golden dot closest to his current location.
After about 30 minutes of walking, he reached his destination.
Someone was standing there.
It was a man with a shaved head and a wide forehead.
‘Huang Feihong?’
He ran at Min-hyeok with full force.
Swish-
He drew the sword he was carrying on his waist as he ran.
Like a samurai, it was clear that he intended to attack.
Clatter-
Min-hyeok aimed his machine gun at the man with the ponytail.
The man collapsed into a honeycomb.
What did it matter if he shot a man with a sword?
He hadn’t come here to practice martial arts.
There was no need to risk his life fighting with a sword when he had a powerful long-range weapon.
Whoosh-
The man with the ponytail turned to dust and scattered.
A golden scroll fell where he had disappeared.
The golden dot on the map really was the location where he could get the Noscroll.
He had gotten his hands on the first Noscroll far too easily.
The ‘difficulty’ was incredibly low because it was only the 1st floor.
It was a good thing, regardless.
If the 1st floor had been difficult, how would he have cleared the higher floors?
Min-hyeok picked up the Noscroll and put it in his inventory.
He had to check what any item turned into before he could use it.
“Return.”
Pop-
He moved to the underground parking lot with a flash of light.
He opened his inventory and looked inside.
There was a computer graphics card inside.
He searched for it on the internet and found that it was the highest spec graphics card that had been released not too long ago.
He could now obtain as many as he needed whenever he wanted.
Pop-
Min-hyeok returned to the 1st floor of the rooftop.
Flutter-
He unfurled the Noscroll.
Pop-
The scroll turned into light particles and wrapped around Min-hyeok’s body.
At the same time, knowledge of magic flowed into his mind.
Was this what sudden enlightenment, where you understood something in an instant without going through a process, was like?
He instantly understood the principle of converting magical power into cold and using it.
‘I’ve learned magic!’
At the same time, he felt a new sensation he had never felt before.
It was mana sensitivity.
Thanks to that sensation, Minhyuk learned that there was a space in his body where he could store mana.
He could feel his mana pool.

However, the capacity of his mana pool was ridiculously small.
It was a pitiful capacity compared to even a single small, low-grade mana stone.
Swish-
Minhyuk spread out his palm and gathered cold energy.
A very small ice crystal was created.
‘It really works!’
His joy at casting magic for the first time was short-lived.
Thud-
He felt dizzy.
He had just created a few ice crystals, and his mana was already depleted.
If he continued to use magic at this rate, he might faint.
Minhyuk stopped using magic.
Hmm-
In order to use magic freely, he basically had to increase the size of his mana pool.
However, that was not an easy task.
Every single magician who had ever existed in the world had tried to increase the size of their mana pool until the day they died.
‘Is there perhaps a Nose that can increase the size of a mana pool?’
If such a Nose existed and he could obtain it in large quantities through the refrigerator, increasing the size of his mana pool would be a piece of cake.
‘That would be amazing.’
Minhyuk headed to the next location where he could obtain a new Nose.
