264. God of Battle (2)
drur-.
A stylish, portable storage cabinet squeaks into the conference hall and stops in place.
There were several types of potions in the storage space of the mobile storage stand.
It’s not different… … .
“Han Seong-yoon’s treatment… … I’ve brought all the potions you need for… … .”
He brought all the special potions of the tower that he had secretly (?) requested from the president of the association before.
That’s a lot more than you might think.
It was pretty obvious why he was doing this.
‘Now you’re looking at me at all… … .’
For some reason, it was because Eric, a highly regarded challenger on Earth, was excluded.
It was worth it.
Eric, now with his head on the floor, would no longer be of any help to them.
The president of the association also found out at the point of incapacitating Eric in one fell swoop.
That I was needed to get rid of the gates related to towers appearing all over the world.
‘Eric can no longer be used, so he must depend on me now.’
That’s why the president of the association accepted this ridiculous request right away.
It didn’t bother me that the Hunter Association matched my mood.
Anyway, the Hunter Association must have been paying close attention to the challenger named Eric.
That’s why he couldn’t stop Eric from doing crazy things while spewing his magic before.
‘I’d rather do this than watch out for a vicious challenger like Eric.’
After thinking about it, I smiled softly.
“I will gratefully accept these medicines given by the president of the association. Thanks to you, I think the headache will go away soon.”
And then, the potions in the storage stand that arrived at the seat were checked for each type.
「Skill Proficiency Up Potion」
「Rating: C+」
“A special potion specially produced by the tower for beings with skills.”
「When taken, one of the possessed skills can be arbitrarily increased by 10%.」
The first thing I looked at was the skill proficiency increase potion.
‘As expected, this is also there.’
As always, the rank of the skill proficiency increase potion possessed by the Hunter Association was C+.
Perhaps it was not easy to secure a grade beyond that.
It was worth it.
The value of the skill proficiency increase potion to a challenger climbing the tower is immeasurable.
That’s why it was amazing to collect skill proficiency potions to this extent.
There were even 4 C+ level skill proficiency potions.
‘Can I get a 40% increase in skill proficiency with this?’
I felt very satisfied with that and took the skill proficiency increase potions.
‘After returning to the tower later, I’ll think about it and write it slowly.’
These are worth using after thinking through them.
「Specified Stat Up Potion」
「Rating: C+」
「A special potion produced by the tower that can be used on all beings with abilities.」
「When taking it, you can select one of the stats to increase that stat by +1.」
Then, the designated stat-raising potion was confirmed.
It was an intuitive effect.
Like a skill proficiency increase potion, you don’t even need to take care of it.
It’s not worth it to decide where to invest after thinking deeply about it later.
「You have consumed the designated stat boost potion (C+).」
「Choose a stat that will increase your level.」
“You took the designated stat-up potion (C+)… … .」
“Choose a stat that will increase your level… … .」
“Did you ingest the designated stat-up potion (C+)… … .」
“Choose the stats that will raise your numbers… … .」
As it was, I drank a total of 7 designated stat-boosting potions at once.
“Selection complete.”
“Challenger Seongyoon Han’s durability increases by +7.”
‘Of all the abilities, the weakest is always durability, so it’s only right to raise it like this.’
Anyway, I was able to raise my abilities as much as I could with Necromancy.
It’s just that enemies that are high enough to bring about stat growth don’t appear often.
After using designated stat potions like that, a new type of potion caught my eye this time.
「Random Stat Up Potion」
「Rating: C+」
「A special potion produced by the tower that can be used on all beings with abilities.」
「When taken, one of the ability values is randomly selected and increases by +1.」
It wasn’t worth much either.
“Ingestion complete.”
“One of the stats increases with a random stat potion (C+).”

「Due to the random stat potion (C+), challenger Seongyoon Han’s magic power increases by +1.」
“By using the random stat potion (C+), challenger Seongyoon Han’s strength increases by +1… … .」
“By the random stat potion (C+), challenger Han Seong-yoon’s physical strength is +1… … .」
Now, the basic stats are close to 1,000.
That’s why the growth of abilities is precious, but not to the extent of being very excited.
After all, from now on climbing the tower, the thing that will be used the most will be divine power.
The stats were just to prepare the basic specs to climb the tower.
‘Still, my stats have gone up a lot with this.’
Maybe at this point, isn’t it the strongest challenger in the earth dimension with only one ability?
After dealing with all the potions in the mobile storage rack, I was satisfied enough.
It seemed that the other challengers did the same.
“oh… … . I thought the Hunter Association would pay for what Eric had done. I can take these well.”
“It’s not like a skill proficiency increase potion, but an item like this would be a reward.”
“ha ha ha! Isn’t this all thanks to that big-hearted person! Sungyoon Han Challenger! Thank you very much!”
The challengers in the conference hall were satisfied with receiving the items given by the Hunter Association.
That’s a very big word too.
Catherine Bennett and Lee Ha-yeon were no different.
Each of them looked at the item they received and their eyes twinkled.
“A 10% increase in the output of flame property magic. It’s good. Seongyun. I will put this to good use.”
“I never thought I would be able to get a search aid bracelet… … . Thanks to Seong-yoon, I got something good.”
Are the items given by the Hunter Association better than expected?
Like a child getting a new toy.
Catherine Bennett and Lee Ha-yeon each expressed their gratitude with bright smiles.
Actually, to be honest, this wasn’t given to me by the Hunter Association, but… … .
‘That’s what it is.’
After all, wouldn’t this be a reward I wouldn’t have gotten if I hadn’t told you?
That’s why I quietly accepted their thanks.
Although the complexion of the president of the association was stained dark every time… … .
It was self-employed.
“Perhaps this is the reason for protracting the meeting any longer, so it seems… … .”
so… … .
“Let’s start a real meeting in earnest.”
Now it’s time to really get to the point.
***
“Current problems on Earth can be roughly divided into two.”
Still, is the president of the association aware of the seriousness of the current situation?
As soon as he asked to start the meeting, he started leading the meeting with a firm face.
The president of the association, who introduced himself as Joseph, continued talking quickly without wasting time.
“The first is that a demon species, a type of monster that appears in the Tower of Trials, has appeared.”
Joseph stretched out his index finger and said.
“This is a situation that cannot be overlooked. All demon species have combat power comparable to that of class A. Although there are individual differences, it cannot be ignored that their fighting power is enormous. and… … .”
Before he knew it, his hardened face was covered with deeper thoughts than before.
“Above all, demons have intelligence different from other monsters.”
That’s not too surprising.
So far, the demons I’ve met while climbing the tower have deep intellect.
Perhaps it is out of step with the monsters seen on Earth.
Therefore, it means that the actual combat power is good enough to be regarded as an S-class monster, not an A-class monster.
“The second is that gates that create monsters appearing in the Tower of Trials have appeared.”
Joseph spread his index finger, then his middle finger, and said:
“Actually, this is the most serious problem. Orange gates appeared all over the world. Demons are rising there.”
Orange Gate.
Certainly none of the gates ever observed had anything like that.
It’s even more so when the monsters come out even though the dungeon break hasn’t happened.
After hearing that, I raised my hand and asked a question.
“Did you find out what an orange gate is?”
“… … no. There was no way I could find out. The orange gate was different from the gates I had seen so far.”
“Then what causes monsters to appear even though it’s not even a dungeon break?”
“… … I’m not sure about that either. However, there is one thing that the search-type hunters and challengers, and related scholars have found out.”
“What if you found out?”
“The gate involved in multiple creation of the orange gate is located in Las Vegas, USA.”
A gate involved in the creation of a gate?
As he frowned, Joseph hurriedly lowered the screen in the conference room.
Then, an image of a building observing the sky appeared on the screen.
Perforation observed through various complex facilities in the video.
There was a black gate that crackled as if there was noise.
“It’s a black gate over Las Vegas under real-time observation.”
and.
“That’s the culprit behind the orange gates all over the world.”
As I looked over the screen at the black gate, Joseph continued.
“The US government and the Hunter Association are observing in real time using various facilities… … . Cow, to be honest, I don’t know much.”
He glanced at me breaking into a cold sweat and said in a trembling voice.
“That’s why I think I should lean on challenger Han Seong-yoon.”
“For me?”
“yes… … . In return, I will give you enough compensation later. And if you want, you can take the challengers separately.”
“Is that so.”
Whatever it was, it didn’t matter.
The reason I came to Earth from the beginning was to solve that black gate.
And I had to find out why such a heterogeneous gate appeared on Earth.
‘If you step inside the gate, you’ll be able to get a rough idea of the situation.’
This is your chance to find out if it really is a trick played by one of the deities.
So I immediately nodded my head in agreement without hesitation.
Joseph smiled broadly as soon as permission was granted.
“thank you. Han Seong-yoon, challenger. The US government and the Hunter Association will not forget this… … .”
But Joseph’s words did not carry on to the end.
Jijijijijijijijik—!
It’s not different… … .
Suddenly, a black gate visible across the screen made a loud noise.
Soon, the attention of the challengers in the conference hall was focused on the screen at once.
[Has it finally arrived… … . ]
Suddenly, a man with red horns appeared from a black gate in the sky.
Unlike demonic monsters, it looks like it has a proper outfit.
He was also wearing a fancy suit like a nobleman in the Middle Ages.
But that’s not all that’s unique.
“S-Is it a skill… … ? What, what, the voice, like that… … .”
As one of the challengers in the conference room put it… … .
The man in the horned suit that appeared from the black gate was foreign.
It was worth it.
A voice with an extremely high level was resonating through the speakers.
Only then did I realize one thing.
“… … .”
as soon as… … .
[You foolish things. listen I am a third-class apostle who serves the god of battle. This is Kramache Lugnes. ]
As I guessed, the current situation on Earth was related to me.
[Who is your god? ]
god of battle.
The existence that has built a complicated bad relationship with each other while climbing the tower until now… … .
Now they were sending an apostle to openly declare war.
