[Time remaining for the Mirror Which Breaks Down the Boundaries: 0h:29m:59s]
With a short status message, the view in front of him changed.
It became a meadow with dazzling light pouring on it.
At the center were 22 black knights wearing iron armor.
Even though they were inactive, the magic emanating from their bodies felt unusual.
He could feel his skin tingle at the sensation.
It meant that the energy emanating from the knights was higher than most.
‘All of them have to be named.’
Jin-hyuk evaluated them calmly.
“…”
Chun Yuseong also kept his mouth shut as he evaluated the knights.
He was weighing and comparing the ability of the enemy against his own.
“They are strong.”
A short conclusion.
However, if Chun Yuseong said it, it was no exaggeration. It would have been difficult for him to guarantee a victory even if the raiding team came from a large guild.
“They seem quite strong. So what now? Is it worth the try?”
“I think we can try up to five at the same time. Any more would be a risk for us. Of course, all the assumptions must be based on the premise that the monster, in the end, will not wake up.”
Both of them looked towards the side.
Right.
The most striking of these enemies was the giant stone statue at the end.
“It has been so long since I saw him.”
Jin-hyuk looked at the stone statue with cold eyes.
This was the culprit that frustrated many players in the [Tower of Trials] and made them give up.
The boss and guardian of the 10th floor, a being that never died, gave out an overwhelming force and intimidation.
Even if the rest of the black knights here teamed up, they wouldn’t be able to keep up with it.
‘Do we have to do some preparations now?’
Let’s clear this one as Unknown.
[Subspace inventory is activated.]
Jin-hyuk pulled out his patterned mask from his subspace inventory. The identity of Unknown that he had decided for the future would be the ‘Temple of the Barrier’.
He was thinking of editing a few scenes and reconstructing the video using her barriers.
‘Even now, many viewers are looking for Unknown, so it is time to show them slowly.’
Above all, proper distribution of the boss battles was essential for him to claim both the first and second ranks simultaneously.
‘If I want to deal with all the black knights, I need a lot of magic…’
And that was something he should avoid.
In order to show a splendid fight, he had to save his energy. In addition, he had to create a neat scene.
In the end, to satisfy both…
“Fine! Swordsmon! I chose you!”
Jin-hyuk tapped Chun Yuseong on the shoulder.
“Ugh! What do you think I am?”
“Uh, it is training. Just training.”
He wanted to be strong, right?
Then he shouldn’t be angry and just follow what he said.
Even in martial arts, it took one year to learn properly. A learner must first learn how to cook or clean before being allowed to hold a sword.
He should be grateful that he was being taught after such a short amount of time!
“Don’t bullshit me! Even if we fight together, we cannot defeat them. No matter what you say, this is unreasonable!”
Hmm. Did he want to act like this?
“Well then. Let us do this. If you deal with those knights and hold up against the boss for a minute. I will give you anything you want.”
At those words, Chun Yuseong’s eyes widened.
Defeating Jin-hyuk was the reason and goal he strived for as he climbed the Tower. Therefore, this proposal right now was terrific for him.
“For real?”
“Right. You wanted a one-on-one match with me, right?”
“If you later change your words or pretend like you don’t know…”
“Don’t worry. If you succeed, I will fight you wherever you want, anytime, and in any stadium or place.”
“That promise… I will come after it.”
Srng!
Chun Yuseong drew his sword.
His rune-covered sword shone with a bright light as it was unsheathed.
[Chun Yuseong activated the Unique Ability ‘Sword Song’]
At that moment.
Kukuku!
The black knights began to react to the intruder’s magic.
Their weapons were two-handed swords ranging from 1.5 to 2 meters in length.
A heavy weight could be felt from their black armor, but, in contrast, their steps were light.
“This is a haven for warriors.”
“It is a place where only those who are deserving can come.”
“Those who haven’t built up any feats to come here are not allowed to enter.”
“And you are undeserving.”
Their voices were like iron being scraped together.

In any case, those who emphasized chivalry and similar things were boring people to listen to. Besides, if they were monsters that didn’t give a single experience point, then they were all the more terrible.
However…
A Chun Yuseong with a clear goal in mind was second to none and would surprise any enemy.
“If you interfere in my plans to have a confrontation with this guy, I will cut you all down!”
Chun Yuseong uttered those words as he narrowed the distance in an instant.
Kwang!
The enhanced energy from Chun Yuseong’s Soul Chasing Sword collided with a black knight’s sword and forced it to the ground.
Clearly, they were being pushed back in a battle of power.
“… human!”
Now, in a simple battle, the side with the upper hand would already be decided.
But the problem was…
This wasn’t a one-on-one fight.
“Cut him down!’
“Cheeky human!”
Two black knights approached from the side.
Naturally, their attacks were aimed at the neck and heart as if it was measured with a scale.
Kakang!
Drops of red blood splashed past the sparks.
A layer of skin.
If they had been a bit stronger, there would have been a hole in Chun Yuseong’s heart.
‘He almost died.’
Jin-hyuk, who was watching this, whistled.
Is this what it is like for his hands to sweat?
There was nothing more enjoyable than seeing strong people fight.
Fighting newbies had its charm, but it was more exciting when fights were of a certain level.
‘There are still a lot of gaps, but it seems like he put in a lot of effort.’
He hadn’t received the title of a swordsman for free.
Considering that each Black Knight had 8,000 magic, Chun Yuseong faced the equivalent of 22 rankers alone.
The Soul Chasing Sword was now at a point where he could easily use it. This caused the confrontation to lean to one side slowly.
‘It will be done in just a few minutes.’
If there had been an audience here, now was the time to watch it.
It wasn’t easy to see the sight of a lion overpowering dozens of hyenas.
Papapak!
Three sword forms were engraved in the center of the black armor.
No matter how strong one knight was, as long as the orbs of life that supported their bodies were destroyed simultaneously, they could do nothing.
“To do this… how surprising for a human…”
“…I cannot believe this.”
“I didn’t think a warrior’s pride would collapse like this.”
One and then two.
The Black Knights began to fall.
Naturally, as their numbers began to decrease, the power gap widened.
And finally…
Thud!
The last of them had its body split and fell down.
At that moment.
“Kill… him!”
A fallen knight swung its sword at Chun Yuseong’s legs.
It was a last-ditch ambush.
Kakang!
Fortunately, Chun Yuseong managed to narrowly escape.
“You are so tenacious.”
Cold sweat ran down his back. He would have been hit if he had been careless for even one moment.
There were several wounds, but his breathing wasn’t even disturbed. The same applied to his magic.
He managed to preserve his strength to last one minute against the last boss.
Now there was only one step left before he got to fight that man.
Just a little more.
If he held on a little longer.
“Get up”
The tip of his sword was directed at the only remaining enemy.
Right.
[The 10th-floor boss monster’ Rock Giant’ wakes up!]
The giant, who had stayed silent until now, opened its eyes.
Kukukuku!
The sky above them trembled. A hideous feeling assailed his skin beyond anything he had ever felt.
‘I didn’t expect it to be like this.’
Chun Yuseong sighed.
It was impossible to beat this opponent now as he had skipped floors, and his growth wasn’t at its best yet.
And he knew that.
However, he knew he could hold on for at least a minute or even more.
Because he had grown stronger.
He had grown incomparably to his past. And he was sure that this growth would be enough.
But…
The moment he faced the boss, he realized.
Why Jin-hyuk had given him the condition of lasting against the boss for 1 minute.
And how much of a misunderstanding he had lived under until now.
‘Damn it.’
Magic that was as crushing as the deep ocean.
The increase in magic between its sleeping and waking state was absurd!
…This was an actual monster.
‘One minute against him…?’
Impossible.
Not possible.
Although he hadn’t exchanged even a single attack, he realized the clear difference in power between him and the rock giant.
This…
This was different.
“Coming to this place and subduing the black knights and to wake me up…”
The rock giant looked at Chun Yuseong with interest.
Right, that was how it was.
Many had challenged the 10th floor, but none had been able to subdue all of the Black Knights alone.
“Right. You must be the strongest of all humans.”
The Rock Giant stood to its full height.
It towered at a massive height of five meters.
Its shield and blade were weapons that could not be ignored.
Moreover, the armor that covered its body left no gaps to attack.
A perfect armor.
This was the first time he faced an enemy with no gaps besides Jin-hyuk.
But now that he was here, he couldn’t back down.
Because he didn’t want to turn around and see that idiot with a weird grin on his face.
Psss!
A blue light shone on his sword.
He raised his qi-filled sword and used the 3rd attack form of the Soul Chasing Sword.
‘The best defense is the best offense.’
And that was how he could reach the time limit. Right now, he could only defend.
Tat!
Chun Yuseong’s body vanished from sight.
He reappeared behind the Rock Giant and slashed his sword horizontally.
Kwaang!
But…
There was not a single scratch on the Rock Giant.
[Invincibility]
It was a unique ability that made it immune to physical and magic attacks.
This was the strongest shield that was impenetrable by anything.
“Sword qi… using such insignificant sword techniques. Well, I will teach you something nice.”
[The Rock Giant activates Lv15 Stone Break]
The Rock Giant’s blade split the air.
Kwakwakwang!
With a terrifying roar, everything in front of him crumbled as the ground and grass were blown away.
It wasn’t even a direct hit, but just the shockwave!
“This…!”
Chun Yuseong yelled as he swung and rotated his sword like a pinwheel, but nothing happened.
The enemy had swung its weapon only once, but it had exceeded any defense he could put up.
Kwang!
“Kuak!”
Chun Yuseong’s balance collapsed with just one hit.
It was so shocking that he had no time to catch his breath as a second attack followed.
A stab.
The sword, over 2 meters in length, aimed for a single point.
This was bad.
He could not avoid this.
Chun Yuseng took a deep breath.
As he thought of death, the hand holding his sword began to lose strength.
But…
Woong!
Something blocked the sword’s path.
It was a red dagger with white ice flying around it.

Even after seeing it, it was hard to believe, but that massive sword was blocked by just a small dagger!
“One minute.”
A simple statement.
“Unfortunately, you failed.”
That came from Jin-hyuk’s mouth.
