Episode 253 Ataraxia, Pureblood Empress (3)
[Dragon Slayer Sword, Balmung – Dark Blue]
Difficulty of Obtaining: Not measurable
Attack power: 35,500
Weight: 37kg
Durability: 58,000 / 160,000
effect:
1. Ignores defenses below the ability of the relic.
2. It can inflict 20% additional damage only to divine attacks, and when dealing with dragons, attack power increases by 2 times. (Puritive effect: 3 minutes – The duration of the effect may increase depending on skill level.)
3. Increases the physical abilities of the target recognized by Balmung by 10% and speeds up wound recovery.
You can use the special active effect ‘Reenactment of Myth’. ‘Reenactment of the Myth’ allows you to recreate the battle of Siegfried, who cut down Fafnir. (A certain level of understanding of Balmung is required.)
The status window, colored in navy blue, shined more brilliantly than the status window of any item I had ever seen.
A whopping 35,500 attack power.
It is nothing compared to the twin dragon swords or fangs that I currently possess.
Even the canine that was currently strengthened to blue grade only had an attack power of 5570.
It’s over 6 times more… … .
A breath of empty air flowed from Jinhyeok’s mouth.
‘It’s really crazy.’
No matter how much the canine focused on attack speed and lightness, the six-fold difference in attack power could not help but be called ‘absurd.’
The Flame Sword obtained from Armor Breaker and Antrad also lost its shine in front of Balmung.
Above all, the effect of nearly doubling attack power when dealing with dragons will become an indispensable necessity in climbing the upper levels of the tower in the future.
‘I’m finally getting this.’
Jinhyuk held Balmung in his hand.
Ugh!
Balmung let out a pleasant resonant sound.
Exciting! Exciting! Exciting!
My heart was beating fast.
This horsepower.
This feeling.
okay. This is what it tastes like.
This is the overwhelming sense of elation that comes from a top-class relic.
The corners of Jinhyuk’s mouth turned up.
At the same time, the blade pointed forward.
[The unique ability ‘Star’s Protection’ is activated!]
[The unique ability ‘Mandala’ is activated!]
Pure white light and golden mist began to burn softly along the blade.
Now it is time to end this epic.
＊＊＊
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!
Fuuuuuuu!
The exploding blood drop and the exploding blood drop canceled each other out.
Although the power was different, the understanding of blood explosion was not much different.
‘Hey, this doesn’t make sense.’
Amulam’s face became increasingly earthy.
I couldn’t even believe that a human being could use blood poison.
I simply could not accept that the level of use of blood violence was so high.
furthermore.
Quaaaang!
As Balmung’s blade flashed, Amulam’s body was thrown several meters.
No matter the shield or anything else, there was no defense that could withstand the dragon slayer sword.
There is probably no situation better suited to the saying “avoid, not block” than this.
Its unique regenerative ability has long since faded away.
More and more blood was flowing from the wound.
“What if I’m already complaining? I’m just starting to feel better.”
Jinhyuk smiled.
Since I had acquired a new holy relic, my body felt so light as if it would fly.
“Ugh…! What a fool! If it weren’t for Balmung, you would be…”
“Well, I won’t deny it. It’s definitely big.”
In Tower of Trials, we believe that the player’s experience and skills are superior to the performance of the item itself.
When you reach the ‘Indigo’ level, even an ordinary person can sufficiently fight boss monsters.
Moreover, if the stagnant water attains that level, speaking any more would only hurt my mouth.
“But, if it’s unfair, shouldn’t you have bought something nice?”
“W-what?”
“Once you become the head of the family, don’t you think there will be a lot of things stored up in the treasure trove? If you had just taken a few things from there, it wouldn’t have ended up like this.”
Isn’t this what happens because they come bare-handed, relying only on the vampire’s unique physical abilities?
“If I had been properly armed… you wouldn’t have dared say something like this.”
“Yes, yes. I also have a knife that can cut down the galaxy in a shoe cabinet in every corner of my house, and a howling invisible dragon in the bathroom.”
“Ugh… Ugh!”

Amulam roared in anger.
Puff puff!
Everything in front of me turned red, and then a huge explosion occurred.
Now they have started firing blood bombs indiscriminately without even calculating the escape route.
Of course, Jinhyeok was not the type to be attacked by such luck.
‘Sword Demon Emperor’ and ‘Shallow Breathing’ created fast and light movements.
Tsutsut.
… … Tuk!
It seemed like it was grazing the ground and moving towards Amulam.
I caught up in an instant through ‘Shadow Geuksal’.
Kaaaang!
Amulam reflexively swung his claws, but Jinhyuk had already disappeared.
Jinhyeok, moving between shadows and shadows at high speed, continued to catch Amulam off guard.
“Ugh!”
Amulam ground his teeth.
Ever since I came here, something has been off.
There are a lot of things I don’t like from start to finish.
But what mattered now was surviving this worst situation.
It wasn’t easy for even a single human, and since there was even Ellis, who had unleashed her unique Holy Spear, fighting any further would be like begging to be killed.
He had lived for so long that he even forgot his age.
It was a natural life to reign in the highest position.
I just couldn’t die in a place like this.
Amulam’s gaze turned backwards.
Retreat.
There was still a way out in the back.
If you throw away the rest as a time delay, you can escape on your own… … .
possible. It’s possible.
‘They pretended to be excited and attacked randomly, so you wouldn’t expect them to run away.’
The worries didn’t last long.
“Bite!”
Amulam gathered all of his remaining magical energy.
“Kung! Kung! Kung!”
“Krrr!”
‘Bloodhounds’ made of blood rushed towards Jinhyuk and Ellis.
at the same time.
Amulam moved towards the rear.
The time required is only 1 second.
For a family head, one second was enough time to get out of this place.
but.
“Whether it was before or now, cowardice hasn’t changed.”
The cold voice heard above Amulam’s head did not allow him to escape.
A cursed vampire descended from the sky and summoned dozens of red skewers.
“Uh, how…?”
“Did it pass your hound? Is that what you want to know?”
Ellis shrugged his shoulders as if it was no big deal.
“Didn’t I tell you that if you can do it, I can do it too?”
There was a sight of Amulam’s blood hounds being bitten by other blood hounds.
Ellis released the bloodhounds raised by the Ataraxia family.
“Kkegaeng!”
“Kwak!”
“I guess my dogs are bigger.”
With this, the only possibility has disappeared.
[Elise activates ‘Vladimir’s Harpoon’!]
Puff!
Quack!
“Kaaaaak!”
Amulam, whose hands and feet were pierced, let out a scream in pain.
However, no matter how hard I try to turn into a bat, the wound area just glows red. No transformation took place.
Right at that moment.
Quang!
Jinhyuk accelerated while holding Balmung.
The great sword radiated dazzling sword light and rushed towards Amulam’s heart.
“I… I’m the one who hates these insignificant creatures! I am!”
And that’s it.
Suddenly!
These were the last words the Decasus matriarch left in this world.
[Your level has risen!]
[Your level has risen!]
[The level is… … ]
[…] … It has risen!]
[You have obtained the ‘Seal of Decasus’.]
[All gods and the great powers of the upper world will become aware of this incident in a few hours!]
[The power of ‘Stuck Corporation’ is rapidly growing from a small/medium power to a medium power!]
With countless messages pouring in.
One of the great absolutes who ruled the upper levels of the tower has disappeared.
＊＊＊
Grumble!
With the rising flames, one ornate chair was reduced to ashes.
“……Unbelievable.”
Sighs of disbelief flowed from the mouths of those sitting at the table in the middle.
It had to be that way.
When a chair burns, it means that the owner of the chair has disappeared.
“Are you saying that the head of the Decasus family failed?”
Among those here, the only woman with long black hair opened her mouth.
Abigail von Levischita.
He was the head of the Levishita family, one of the great families.
“Since Amulam is dead, it must be considered a failure. Damn it! What kind of shit is this, that the head of the family lost his life in the middle layer!”
“Due to restrictions, we left all the relics here, so it would have been difficult to use our full power. Just sending one of the matriarchs downstairs was a big adventure for us.”
“No matter how much it is, this doesn’t make sense. There could be someone down there who could hurt the head of the family….”
The rest of the family heads also chimed in one by one.
The atmosphere became heavy.
Even though we paid a huge price, we did not gain anything, or rather, we even lost the head of the family who prided ourselves on being the strongest.
“…….”
Even Exension, who succeeded Ellis as leader of the Ataraxia family, kept his mouth shut.
Right then.
“So didn’t I warn you? I told you to be careful because there is someone who could harm you.”
The goblin, who had been warming himself by the fire in the fireplace, stood up.
Then all the surrounding eyes turned to the goblin.
A transcendent body of the tower that not even the head of the household can treat lightly.
It was Hasting, a senior manager.
“Are you talking about that person called Kang Jin-hyuk?”
Exension asked.
“That’s right. He’s the one who took Ellis out of the corridor and signed the contract.”
“The upper management is overestimating that person. I know that Kang Jin-hyuk is not ordinary, but he is by no means capable of killing the matriarch. If there is a chance, it is Ellis.”
“Hmm. I think you all underestimate him too much, right? Think about it carefully. Ellis can’t be a variable, neither in the past nor now.”
Even in his prime, when he was so strong, he was eventually overpowered and sealed by the matriarchs.
Even more so now that it is no longer as powerful as it was in the past, there will be a way to overpower it if you put your mind to it.
but.
“Jinhyuk Kang is different.”
It does not simply mean combat power.
The power to enforce the major premise of victory under given conditions.
The ability to turn even disadvantages into advantages.
That was the biggest reason to be afraid of Jinhyeok.
“Perhaps, if we leave it like this, the heads of the families here may also die by the hands of that human. The probability will increase as time goes by.”
Death of the head of the family.
That ridiculous assumption came out so easily.
“You’re saying that now…!”
“Are you saying we’re going to be defeated by just one human?”
“stop!”
Naturally, the family heads tried to protest, but Exencion dismissed their complaints.
“……I don’t think you brought this up just to get on our nerves, it seems like you have something to say.”
“As expected, the new matriarch of Ataraxia is on good terms with me. Actually, I have something in mind. Since your method failed, I will try my own way this time. It may take some time, but it is worth the effort and time. It might be worth it.”
Hasting slowly began to tell his plan.
and… … .
As the story progressed, the expressions on the heads of the families changed drastically.
It was such a shocking plan that I had no choice but to swallow my saliva and listen.
“……no see.”
Hasting finally came to an end.
“indeed…….”
“If that’s the case, I might be able to kill two rabbits at once.”
“I agree. I’ll do anything to chew up the ones that showed their teeth to us.”
Everyone nodded.
Only one.
Except for Exension.
“I admit it’s a good plan, but since you protect the balance of the tower, why are you helping us?”
Administrators are people who maintain neutrality and manage the Tower of Trials so that it can survive.
That’s why I couldn’t understand why Hastings was trying to intervene so forcefully right now.
OK.
“I am now protecting the balance of the Tower, harder than ever.”
Hasting smiled an unknown smile.
