Episode 237 Players’ World (2)
Stars and moon fill the night sky.
And the swords of the Sword Saint are stuck on top of them.
This is no longer the dark world of darkness.
It is a sanctuary only for players who climb the tower, and for those who live solely to see the end of this world.
[All players’ abilities increase by 30%!]
[All stats of enemy monsters are reduced by 30%!]
With a status window colored blue.
A gentle wind announced a new beginning.
“This is ridiculous… how on earth can you do this?”
Antrad’s voice trembled violently.
Interfering with the world of higher beings and actually changing it.
Isn’t this kind of thing only allowed for demon lords and gods?
“It would have been impossible to do it alone. One world can never surpass you.”
However, if there are two… … .
If two worlds could interfere in one area.
At that time, no matter how perfect the image is, loopholes can be created.
Jinhyuk extended his sword forward.
[Unique ability… … .]
Blue energy spread softly along the blade.
at the same time.
Cheon Yu-seong, who was standing on the other side, also extended his sword forward.
[Unique ability… … .]
Two different players.
Of course, the two are complete strangers with no contact whatsoever.
but.
[…] … ‘Sword Song’ is activated!]
There was no sense of incongruity with the abilities revealed by the two swords.
The sword began to sing.
While reciting a melody more beautiful than ever.
＊＊＊
Quaaaang!
Kakakakang!
A sword attack that rages like a storm.
Antrad swung his sword like crazy, canceling out Cheon Yu-seong’s attack.
“Ugh!”
The situation was completely different from before.
The concentration of magical power contained in the sword.
The sophistication and bitterness of herbivorous food.
It can’t be compared to before.
Thanks to this, Antrad was in a hurry to defend itself.
“Damn it! This is ridiculous. This can’t be happening!”
Antrad screamed and swung his sword sharply.
It is an excessively large movement.
Cheon Yu-seong, who easily deflected the sword, countered.
however.
Antrad allowed Cheon Yu-seong’s attack this time.
Quack!
Left arm cut off cleanly.
Creepy.
A cold chill ran down my spine.
This is bait.
Because I felt the determination to take the other person’s life even if it meant giving up an arm.
It could be said that it was almost simultaneous.
The flame-heated sword was fired straight at Cheon Yu-seong’s neck.
Because it was an attack attempted while ignoring defense, a half-beat gap was created for Cheon Yu-seong.
It will definitely happen now.
Kaaaaang!
However, the converting blow was in vain.
Just before the blade reached Cheon Yu-seong’s neck, Jin-hyuk swung his fangs and slightly twisted its trajectory.
“It was a bit of a waste just now.”
When one side is in charge of attack, the other side is in charge of defense.
Not only did the roles change fluidly depending on the situation, but there was not even a small gap visible between the connections.
“Damn it… Jeennjang!”
Antrad hurriedly widened the distance.
Even though he gave up one arm, he was an unbreakable passing team.
“How on earth… How can humans, humans, etc.!”
They know each other’s swords perfectly.

Where to attack. Where to move. It means that you know everything.
But, does that make sense?
Understanding others as well as yourself?
Antrad’s mind was filled with confusion, but he had no chance to find out why.
This is because Jin-hyuk and Cheon Yu-seong, who had already reached the corner, unleashed the final attack of the Chuhon Sword.
Pazzutz!
The Chuhon sword learned from Chuhon Sayoung produced the first choshik.
‘Chuhon Sword Dance’
The tip of the sword becomes blurred.
Remnants formed remnants, and soft curves formed ripples.
‘Form 11’
And Jinhyeok’s sword overlapped on top of that sword.
The only Chosik that can be used by two people who have inherited the Chuhon Sword.
‘Two swords and one union’
The ripples on the sword completely disappeared.
A realm of nothingness where not even an ounce of magic power can be felt.
at the same time.
Suddenly!
Antrad’s heart was broken in half.
The last attack was so different that the person who was cut didn’t react until a few seconds later.
“Kaaaaaa!”
Red smoke flowing out.
Antrad tried his best to capture the energy of life with his hands.
However, it is useless.
No matter how strong a demon is, they could never survive if the source of their power was destroyed.
“Please, please save my life, Master Guntafer. Your family… is dying.”
Antrad waved his hands in the air.
It seems that humbly begging for one’s life is something all living things have in common.
“It’s no use. He’s not that merciful. He probably won’t even listen to your pleas.”
“What do you say you know about him? He will not abandon me. Never!”
“Well, you don’t seem very sure when you say that?”
“……Well, that is.”
Antrad’s eyes slowly lost their shine.
Now you must have realized that you have been abandoned.
In fact, because the barrier of the white tree, Tangrasil, has been activated again, higher-ranking gods cannot peek into this place.
‘There’s no reason to tell that to this guy.’
It is better to naturally misunderstand.
To throw the last bait.
“…It’s all over. It’s meaningless.”
Thousands of years of loyalty had all been in vain. At that fact, Antrad let go of the last string of hope he was holding on to.
good.
This is it.
Jinhyuk lightly stretched out his hand.
“Don’t give your loyalty to a useless guy for nothing. Hand over that heart to me.”
“My heart…? Why should I do something that would make you laugh?”
because.
“Guntafer, who abandoned you, will also be sent to your side.”
It’s not a bad story, right?
That the owner who abandoned you like a chess piece will also meet the same end?
“If you’re going to die anyway, give the owner some nice taffy as a gift. If nothing else, I’ll make sure to mention your name in his final words.”
“…….”
There was a moment of silence at Jinhyuk’s calm words.
“Hahaha! Indeed, you are such an arrogant human being. I’m sure if that happens, my resentment will go away a little bit.”
What followed was a satisfying glow.
“Okay, human. Take it. My half heart.”
Ttuduk!
Antrad took out the heart that had been split in half.
At the same time, Antrad’s eyes completely turned off.
[You have acquired the relic ‘Antrad’s Heart (Half)’!]
[Intermediate demon ‘Antrad’ has disappeared!]
[An amazing achievement has been achieved! Today’s work will be entered into the ‘Hall of Fame’ tomorrow.]
[Multiple forces are paying attention to what you and player Cheon Yu-seong have done.]
[The giant power of the upper echelon, ‘Demon World’, harbors strong hostility towards you!]
Multiple status windows appeared one after another.
Just one.
Except for the status window notifying level up.
‘This is as expected.’
Due to Guntafer’s special nature, the experience of middle managers under him is not counted.
It’s a little disappointing, but it’s not a big problem.
In the first place, this job was about getting a huge reward and this guy’s unique ability rather than experience points.
‘Of all the rewards I have received so far, I will be given the most spectacular things.’
Jinhyuk’s gaze turned forward again.
[Achieved by adding the requirement of the copy condition.]
[The target’s unique abilities are copied.]
[You have acquired a ‘higher version’ of the ability due to the effect of the unique ability ‘fusion’.]
[The Flame of the Beginning]
Difficulty of Obtaining: Not measurable
Content: A flame that exists in an unknown layer of the tower and is the origin of all fires. All fire-related unique abilities and skills originate from this flame, and are unique abilities with infinite development potential depending on the user’s skill level.
[The fire element is replaced with the primordial flame.]
[The level will be inherited as is.]
[Copied abilities are stored in ‘World Memory’.]
‘crazy… … .’
Jinhyuk barely suppressed the cheers that were about to burst out.
I knew it.
A reward that far exceeded my expectations emerged.
Not only can you copy the highest level unique ability, but you can also inherit the level of the existing ‘Fire Element’.
Exciting! Exciting! Exciting!
My heart was beating uncontrollably.
This was the first time I had achieved such an outrageous feat since the individual reward of being ‘the first to conquer the tower’.
Glancing to the side, I saw Cheon Yu-seong also frantically scanning the status window.
That guy also seemed to be completely absorbed in the rewards that were different from usual.
‘But not as much as me.’
Thanks to obtaining the final heart, I was able to obtain the first public value.
So what’s next… … .
Shining artifacts were seen on Antrad’s corpse.
‘Fox beads’.
‘Sword of Flame’.
‘1009 cookbooks for bad eaters’.
‘Fountain of Oblivion’.
They were all hidden pieces with an acquisition difficulty level of S or higher.
Moreover, the last item called ‘Fountain of Forgetting’ is something I’ve never seen before… … .
Glancing.
Jinhyeok looked at Cheon Yuseong once again.
I could see that he was still preoccupied with the status window.
gulp.
With the sound of swallowing dry saliva.
My hands moved faster than my eyes.
[All four items are stored in the subspace inventory.]
It was a life-threatening prank, but fortunately, Cheon Yu-seong did not notice.
Instead, a piece of smooth bone was placed where the items were.
It was a ‘high-quality bone snack with a magic stone’ that I had stocked up as a sweet potato snack in the past.
And that was exactly when the change was over.
“I’ve done a cursory check. Now let’s share the reward… hmm?”
Cheon Yu-seong, who closed the status window and walked towards us, raised his eyes.
It is a face full of doubt and distrust.
I dealt with an unimaginable boss-level demon, but all that fell was a single bone, so it had to be that way.
“Ah… this? Is it because that friend was naked? He was broke. He was a completely pretentious guy. Ugh.”
Jinhyuk scratched his head as if embarrassed.
Then he picked up the bone that had fallen on the ground and handed it to him.
please… … .
“Still, it seems like a high-quality bone, but how? Would you like to have this? I’ll make a special concession in consideration of your hard work.”
Hoping to be fooled.
Of course, most earnest prayers do not come true as hoped.
“If you don’t want to die, it would be better to take out everything you’ve hidden. No matter how good the item is, it’s probably not more precious than your life, right?”
Cheon Yu-seong approached with his sword drawn.
It was almost like seeing Alice when she was force-fed mint chocolate.
“Oh, okay. I’ll give it to you. I’ll share it with you. By the way, is your leg okay?”
His right ankle seemed uncomfortable, as if he had injured it in a fight earlier.
Should I say that the subtle limping makes me look like I don’t have a very good sense of balance?
“Hmm. It hurts a little, but it will be fine if I rest for a day or two. There’s no need to worry about that.”
It’s been two days since the transposition… .
“Really? Then it won’t be easy to run fast right now.”
“what?”
“I was thankful for many things today.”
Jinhyuk smiled the brightest smile in the world.
Now is the time to run away.
