Episode 142
“Drink, it is tea made from tea leaves obtained from over the 600th floor. “It will relieve your fatigue and clear your head, so don’t leave anything behind and drink it.”
“… … These are tea leaves from a place I have never set foot in… … “It’s so funny.”
Looking at the teacup full of clear tea leaves, I smiled bitterly and drank the tea without hesitation.
As soon as I drank it, the warm tea flowed down my throat, and only after I noticed the soft energy starting from my stomach and spreading throughout my body did I open my closed eyes while savoring it.
“It’s a nice car.”
“Good car. “Then, I think it’s an appropriate environment for conversation. Let’s talk for the first time in a while.”
“crybaby.”
“… … “You really haven’t changed much even after ten years.”
“crybaby.”
“Damn it, okay, so just shut up and talk!”
The joy of meeting a close friend for the first time in a long time reminded me of the happy memories of teasing Choi Kyung-hoon in the past. When I teased Choi Kyung-hoon a few times, he gave me the reaction I did not expect.
I smiled as I caught sight of Choi Kyeong-hoon, who was blushing as he got up from his seat. I sipped the remaining tea and told him a story from the past.
“… … .”
When I saw Choi Kyung-hoon’s face and ears turn red as he was just listening silently, I thought to myself, ‘As expected…’ … ‘,’ he muttered.
This was because I knew that, unlike the blush I had just before due to embarrassment, the blush I felt now was not ’embarrassment’ but ‘anger’.
KwasikThe armrests of the chair made of expensive wood were unable to withstand the grip of Choi Gyeong-hoon’s ambitious hands and were crushed like rotten wood.
“… … “I even suspected they would do that.”
“I gave you some advice, right? “Be careful.”
“That’s right, and at the time, I had no reason to join the 600th floor raid team, so
that was all I could do. Damn, if I had known that would happen, I would have just
gone in with you.”
I shook my head as I saw Kyung-hoon scratching his short hair and regretting his
past.
“If that were the case, you would have been left behind too. It’s better if I’m the only one left behind. “After all, I’m in front of you again.”
“I’m so glad. “I knew you had many strange skills, but I never thought you would even have the skill to come back to life even if you die.”
Although he said it sarcastically, he still seemed to regret his past choices, so he didn’t say anything.
Seeing me nodding my head without saying anything, Kyung-Hoon Choi shook his
head as if he had lost interest and asked about the future.
“I don’t think you would stay still given your personality. What are you planning to
do? No, I don’t need to tell you that you are the source of the rumors going around
the tower these days.”
The crushing of guild unions.
It wasn’t Choi Kyung-hoon, who didn’t know who was behind the guild alliance.
Given that Ghost Myeon and the guild he belonged to called ‘Yeokcheon’ were fighting a guild war targeting guild unions, it was natural for even him, who was not that smart, to know what I was going to do in the future.
I also had no intention of hiding my plans.
“Of course I have to chew on the Nine Star that hit me in the back of the head. And the Four Emperors who are behind the control of those guys.”
“… … Let’s say Nine Stars are the Four Emperors? “Oh my gosh, how are you going
to deal with those monsters?”
Nine Stars and the Four Emperors.
I said yes up to Nine Stars, but when it came to the Four Emperors clan, I looked a
t Choi Kyung-hoon with my eyes wide open as he expressed a strong opposing opinion.
“You’re not the kind of person who would be so opposed to it, but you’re so opposed to it… … “You met those guys?”
“… … He seems like a quick-witted guy. “Are you really human to have just noticed
that?”
Choi Gyeong-hoon’s meeting with the Four Emperors.
Perhaps it was a natural thing to say.
The reason why this guy, who doesn’t give up unless he hits him directly, looks so
weak is because he got hit and got smashed.
As it was so simple and ignorant, it was possible for the speed of acceptance to be
fast.
I hit Kyung-hoon Choi on the forehead, who was looking at me with a puzzled look on his face.
Perfect!
“… … evil! “How did you know? Why did you hit Takbam?”
I replied while looking at Choi Kyung-hoon, who was rubbing his red forehead and yelling.
“You’re the type of guy who goes crazy even after getting hit by just one chestnut.
Are you going to be so scared that you got hit by a member of the Four Emperors?
Tess would be really happy to see that guy. “No, he’s going to try to break your leg club?”
“… … Damn it, it’s against the law to bring up Master.”
“It’s not a foul, it’s just taking advantage of everything I can. Because you and your
guild will be of help to me. Since you, who are supposed to be our strength, are afraid of the enemy, isn’t it time to break their fear? “Because Tess will be scarier to you than the Four Emperors.”
“… … “That is true.”
Choi Gyeong-hoon, who needs to carry out the strategy beyond the 800th floor, is
in the guild main building on the 100th floor.
It was obvious that there was a problem and it was either to avoid it or to fix the damage that had already been done.
However, even if that were the case, he would be more scary than the Four Emperors to Choi Gyeong-hoon, who became no different from a disciple after receiving the teachings of Emperor Tess.
That’s why they brought out a shock therapy called TES in order to break the thought that the Four Emperors couldn’t win that was stuck in Choi Kyeong-hoon.
“Whoa, okay. If it breaks once, it can break twice or three more times. “At least now is the time to recover, so once I’m done recovering, I’ll try again.”

Bringing up Tess seemed like a pretty good choice.
Choi Gyeong-hoon, who has consistently shown his ass off when it comes to the Four Emperors, was pledging to stick with the Four Emperors again.
But I stopped him.
“Don’t talk bullshit and stay quiet for now. “There is no need to make them aware.”
“… … then?”
“Stay like you are now. Make as little noise as possible on the 100th floor. Of course, you can fight, but any further attacks will be overlooked by the Four Emperors. So, let’s do things other than strategy.”
Climbing the tower means becoming a god or a devil.
The Four Emperors, who do not want anyone but themselves to become gods or devils, cannot possibly look kindly on Choi Kyung-hoon, who is gradually advancing towards the end of the tower.
Since we have stepped on him once, we will monitor the situation, and if Choi Kyung-hoon tries to attack the top again, we will roll up our sleeves and step forward again.
I survived once, but no one could guarantee whether I would survive the second time.
‘I can’t lose this guy.’
I gathered my thoughts as I noticed Choi Kyung-hoon’s foolish expression, blinking and thinking over what I had said.
‘Kyunghoon’s ‘matchless’ is definitely a skill that will be of great help. Not to mention Choi Kyung-hoon himself. ‘You can never lose both of them.’
Musou and Choi Kyung-hoon.
There was no change in the fact that both of these were powerful forces that would be helpful in the future, regardless of whether they were Nine Stars or the Four Emperors.
Therefore, both of them should not have been lost, especially Choi Kyung-hoon.
Musou is an organization that can exist because of the name value and presence of Choi Kyung-hoon.
If Choi Gyeong-hoon died, it was clear that the Musou would also be torn apart and swallowed up by groups under the Nine Stars or the Four Emperors, which meant
that the size of the enemy would increase.
Of course, it can be said that this is something that should never happen, because
the fact that these giant mountains get bigger means that the pressure or pressure that I have to bear increases.
That’s why I didn’t spare any advice.
“After Musou and Choi Gyeong-hoon were defeated in the battle with the Four Emperors, they gave up the strategy like ten thousand tails and focused on recovery – this will be the image of you and Musou that should be shown to the outside world.”
“… … “I don’t like it.”
The sight of the Four Emperors trembling with fear like ten thousand tails.
No matter how well it was directed, it seems that Choi Kyeong-hoon, who showed
a desire for battle, did not like the sight.
However, remembering Choi Gyeong-hoon’s reluctance to clash with the Four Emperors until my advice continued, I could only snort.
“Shut up and do as you say. “The more you endure it, the stronger it becomes, and
it explodes even more powerfully when you need it.”
“… … If that’s you, then that’s probably it. So what do you plan on doing while I’m
holding on? Soon, rumors about you must have reached their ears. “I won’t stop attacking.”
Kyung-Hoon Choi eventually nodded to my advice.
My advice would have been a sufficient brake on him as he realized his shortcomings through encounters with the Four Emperors.
Waiting for an explosion.
With the thought that he would sweep away those who had defeated him with a perfect explosion, he asked Kyung-Hoon Choi what he would do next.
“It’s obvious. It’s only the 100th floor. There are still too many things I need to have to stop here. And I wouldn’t invest too much in a climber of this level. Because they are utilitarian. “If it is an investment with certain losses, they will all be reluctant.”
I couldn’t stop the attack.
The Four Hwangs tried something similar to ‘cutting the bud’ on Choi Kyeong-hoon, and found it to be successful, but that wasn’t a reason for me to stop.
It was clear that Nine Star, a member of the Four Emperors tribe, was finding it difficult to take action after seeing the collapse of the guild union.
In other words, even if I were to climb to the top here, I wouldn’t be able to do things as grandly as I did this time, even though I would keep them in check.
Choi Gyeong-hoon also nodded his head at the thought based on close to 100% certainty.
“Yeah, I heard you f*cked him really well this time, so I guess that’s not enough to
make him move.”
“That’s correct, but what you say is true to some extent. “First of all, I’m not going
to attack the tower right now.”
“… … A ghost who is crazy about strategy stops the strategy… … “There must be some grand reason.”
Because Choi Kyung-hoon remembered me from the past ‘Death Star’ days, he immediately saw that there was a reason for my words about stopping the tower attack for a while at only the 100th floor.
And as he said, I had a reason.
“There’s a lot to do on the 100th floor.”
“You said it because you could tell me, right?”
“Of course, some of them are related to you, so I have to tell you.”
“okay? Let’s hear it.”
I extended three fingers towards Kyung-Hoon Choi, who shook his head when I heard that something had to do with him.
“three. “These are the things I have to do on the 100th floor.”
“… … Quite a lot, right? That could take quite some time. Are you okay? In the meantime, your enemies will become stronger, right?”
Choi Kyung-hoon, who is recovering from damage, has had his original strength of 100 lowered to around 50 or 80 due to his wounds.
Of course, if the wound is healed, it will return to its original strength close to 100.
But I am not who I am now.
A power of only 10 at most.
Just because you stay still doesn’t mean your strength will be 30 or 50.
This means that the pain and training of cutting bones and slicing flesh must be followed.
In other words, what Choi Kyung-hoon said was correct.
but-
“The two things that happen on the 100th floor are also helpful in improving my combat power. “It’s worth investing time in.”
“… … “If that’s the case, I have no choice but to admit it.”
Climbing the tower leads to direct growth.
It would be correct to say that you climb the top because there is growth in the first place.
However, growth was not all about conquering the tower.
Choi Gyeong-hoon himself, known as the God of War, would know it best.
At first, he was a bit inferior compared to the other Nine stars, but the gemstone of Choi Kyung-hoon, who was honed with ‘skill’ and ‘experience’ under a great teacher named Tess, came to shine as a jewel.
And what I was trying to do wasn’t much different from that.
“The first thing is to create a weapon that I will use for almost the rest of my life.”
“Hmm, is it possible for such a weapon to exist?”
“There it is, it’s a recipe book given by Baal.”
“… … Huh, have you already seduced that guy? No, he liked you in his past life too, so maybe it’s only natural.”
He glared at Choi Kyeong-hoon, who was stroking his chin and looking surprised,
and denied his words.
“I hate it. “I hate the love of a man with hairy legs.”
[The pinnacle of all evil sheds tears.]
[The pinnacle of all evil claims that his legs are smooth and clean.]
[The nine-tailed fox nods that that is correct.]
[King Mifu holds his stomach and giggles.]
f*ck you.
Ignoring the message from Baal, who covered his eyes as he was about to curse, I
extended my second finger.
“And second, I plan to investigate the location of the goblin village located on the
outskirts of the 100th floor.”
“Well, I know that too. “The village was ruined by an unknown beast, right?”
“That’s probably the Four Emperors. “That’s why I’m stepping forward to investigate.”
“… … Hmm, that would be dangerous. If what you said is true, the Four Emperors
who appeared on the 100th floor may be watching the ruins where the goblin village was located.”
“I heard about it from Goldrich. But it’s just something that has to be done.”
“If that’s the case, there’s nothing we can do about it. Instead, when you go, I go too.”
I smiled and nodded as I saw Choi Kyung-hoon looking at me unwaveringly with his eyes full of firm determination.
“It’s obvious. Was a meat shield like you about to fall for it? Absolutely not. “If there are Four Emperors, you are the vanguard and meat shield that will block them.”
“Would it be okay if I said something nice? A meat shield for the person who takes
the lead and blocks the attack. “That’s why I don’t have a girlfriend.”
“… … what?”
“I didn’t say anything.”
After glaring at Choi Kyung-hoon, who cleared his throat and avoided eye contact.
I took out the third and final item.
And the moment Choi Gyeong-hoon responded bluntly the moment he heard the third business, his mouth also drew a sharp line.
“The last third… … I’m trying to sharpen my skills at the military academy. Originally, I was going to learn from the instructors here, but… … .”
“No, no, you can learn from instructors while I am there? They’re good guys, but compared to me, they’re like newbies! “Learn from me, I’ll make you vomit blood.”
“… … “Yeah, I was going to ask you too.”
The third and final business.
Skills in close combat that I lack.
Polishing it was the last task.
Originally, I would have ended up checking and refining the techniques I knew with the instructors of the military attaché, but since I knew that Choi Kyung-hoon was there, there was no need to do that.
They say chicken instead of pheasant, but there is no reason to choose chicken when there is pheasant.
As soon as he heard what I said, Choi Gyeong-hoon jumped up from his seat with
a wide smile on his face, probably because he was excited to beat me.
“Then shall we go right away? From now on, please call me Master Choi.”
“Master… … .”
“Uh huh, what are you talking about to a heavenly master, disciple?”
He’s such a f*cking bastard, he’s taking the same blame on me as he did to me.
I had a vague idea of how Kyung-Hoon Choi was so happy because I knew roughly
how he was treated by Tess, or rather, how he received training, but I couldn’t help
but feel annoyed.
but-
“… … Okay, let’s get out first. “Anyway, a decision will have been made to some extent outside.”
“Okay, let’s go, disciple.”
“If you say one more thing about being that bastard’s disciple, I will rip out your soul and grind it to pieces.”
“… … Priests?”
“Shut up and get out, you guy, even your brain is made of muscle.”
There was no choice but to choose an alternative with the best technical instructor
named Kyung-Hoon Choi.
Shaking my head at Choi Gyeong-hoon, who came with different names, such as priest and all, even after being a disciple, I entered the ‘military’ position again.
It was time to sharpen my ‘close-quarter’ combat and skills, which I lacked as an All Master.
