Episode 195
The tower is back again.
Before going up to the 8th floor, I visited blacksmith Ha Khan.
Cough! Kyaang
The sound of a hammer being heard regularly.
As always, I removed the cloth and went inside.
I went in.
“We can’t have customers today.”
“If you get a job like that, do you have to pay for food?”
“Khum. I didn’t know you were a guest.”
A half-naked red giant.
Hakan, a maestro-level blacksmith, was covered in sweat just like the last time I saw him.
“It seems like I’m busy every time I come here even though I’m not getting any work done.”
“A blacksmith is a person who always has to sharpen his blade.”
“Okay. Where is the thing I asked for before?”
“Ugh. Come here.”
Following Hakan’s guidance, I entered the warehouse I had visited before.
A neatly empty space.
This is the place where the Ant Queen’s treasures were previously poured out, but not a single speck of dust was found.
Instead, there was a set of lower armor and shoes that were not there before.
“It’s over there.”
Detachable lower body armor.
It consisted of a set of armor that covered the thighs and gaiters that protected the lower knees, all of which were black.
Even though it was dark, as if absorbing light, there was a subtle gloss on the surface of the armor, creating a mysterious feeling.
The same goes for shoes.
It was made of metal and, like the armor, was black.
I immediately used the [Eye of Truth] to check the item options.

I lifted the gaiter slightly.
Even though it is made of minerals, it has a unique weight
I could barely feel it.
Black colored minerals are rare.
Especially specialized in magic resistance and defense.
options and light weight.
It is difficult to determine the material of the armor
didn’t
“Black Mithril.”
“You have a good sense of vision, don’t you?”
“As expected, the craftsman is different. What do we do with that difficult-to-handle mineral?”
Normal mithril is silver in color, but when pressed deep underground, it turns black.
That is Black Mithril.
‘It’s stronger and lighter than Mithril, but difficult to handle.’
In terms of smelting difficulty alone, it was one step higher than Orihar Kon.
Just by handling it skillfully
It also made me realize how great Hakan’s abilities are.
“It’s too early to be impressed. Try it on first.”
Hakan was right.
It is not too late to evaluate the armor after checking its fit.
I put on my lower armor with trembling hands.
Since it was made removable, I didn’t feel much difficulty wearing it for the first time.
Then I put on my shoes.
Oh, a short exclamation flowed out naturally.
“It’s comfortable.”
I didn’t feel the weight of metal, as if I was wearing jeans.
A feeling that sticks to the body.
［The Darkness’ attack did not impede the movement at all.

The same was true for the shoes [Winds of Darkness].
It was comfortable as if I was wearing bare feet or slippers.
How do you feel about using my children?
number?”
“Really… it’s perfect.”
“Ugh. I guess it was worth the extra effort I put in.”
“But why didn’t you engrave the magic?”
“Looking at your style, it looks like you’re familiar with using magical power.”
“You know it well even though you haven’t seen it.”
“You can tell when you touch it. That’s why I refined it to take advantage of Black Miss Lil’s unique defense and magic resistance.”
As expected, maestro-level craftsmen were different.
He even took care of the parts I didn’t mention and made armor for him.
It was better to stick to the original function of the fishing gear rather than adding strange options.
“thank you so much.”
As I bowed my head in greeting, Hakan suddenly stretched out his hand.
Big, rough hands.
It was covered in calluses and looked as hard as a stone.
I also extended my right hand and tried to shake Hakan’s hand.
” yes?”
“You’re asking for money instead of shaking hands.”
“You gave it to me last time, right?”
“That was labor cost and not including material cost. I spent 1.5 million pts to buy black mithril?”
“Ugh. Count on the points you’ll give me.”
It wasn’t a waste of points.
Although the grade was legendary, the actual performance was comparable to that of transcendent grade.
I recently obtained ［Goddess］, so this is it
If I wear the main weapon, no amount of firepower will be able to harm my body.
‘But you’re really focusing on points.’
While he was alone in the corner of the blacksmith district as if he were in hiding, he also revealed a lot of points.
If you take on the task with Maestro-level skills, you will quickly accumulate points.
He is a truly inconsistent man.
“Please give me the rest quickly.”
［Hakan Toria gave 5,215,700 points
It has been reached.]
and.
The points consumed to make the armor were 2.5 million.
In addition, when disposing of the ant queen’s tip, even after removing 10% of the water channel, there was over 5 million pts left.
1.6 million pts were consumed to expand the infinite space.
Earned more than 4 times more income.
“Did you know how difficult it would be to dispose of that?”
“In return, you paid for it.”
“Uh-huh. That’s right.”
“So, please do this too.”
I snapped my fingers.
In the infinite space, half of the treasures stolen from the ant queen’s treasury remained.
clattering.
The once empty warehouse was once again filled with colorful goods.
“Heh heh. Shit.”
“You seem really happy.”
“I can’t help it. You are such a troublesome customer.”
“Until next time, please.”
Just as I was about to turn my back and leave.
“Let me ask you something.”
Hakan’s words caught my feet.
I turned again and faced Hakan’s eyes.
“What is it?”
“The customer’s name is Jeon Min-cheol, right?”
［Dark Star – Sword of the Emperor］
The dark star engraved on the back of my hand was transformed into a weapon according to my will.
The tip of the knife flickered at the nape of Hakan’s neck.
“Where did you hear that?”
“Ugh. I told you what I guessed, but if you overreact like that, I won’t find out right away.”
damn.
Was it something you were thinking about?
“Let’s find out why you’re suddenly calling someone else’s name.”
“Don’t be too harsh on me. The customer is a famous person from TOP.”
“Celebrities?”
“The person who renewed the ranking in the trial on the 0th floor. And what is the probability that the non-ranker challenger who cleared the 6th floor is the same person?”
ah.
What Hakan said made sense.
The tower has been maintained for eons.
The time I spent climbing the tower may be long for a human, but compared to the history of the tower,
It was like a moment.
A supernova that renewed the trials of the 0th floor.
And the challenger who caused a big fuss on the 6th floor.
What they have in common is that they both come from non-rankers.
It wasn’t that difficult to guess that they were the same person.
“It’s becoming a nuisance.”
“Well, I just wanted to tell you to be careful. If I lose a good client, I’ll be in trouble too.”
“It’s not like my impressions are known.
Oh no.”
“Have you ever bought information from an information guild before?”
Oh right.
To get information about the 6th and 7th floors, I stopped by [Stories Whispering the Wind] and bought the stories of those floors.
‘It’s like advertising.’
Who knew something so loud could happen on the 6th floor?
Because he accidentally encountered the ant princess Sheshe, he got caught up in several incidents.
“Now Mobius and Aatrox Community
“Tea is looking for customers, so you’d better be careful.”
“Thank you for the good story.”
I let my guard down.
If Hakan is connected to them in any way.
When you set foot in the blacksmith shop, the community would have already responded.
“It’s not just those who attempt the stairs for the first time that need to be careful.”
“What do you mean by that?”
“Not even a challenger who has ascended to a high level.
“If you use the item, you can try again at a lower tier.”
“It seems your popularity has increased while you’ve been away.”
Even on Earth, I suffered.
This is why being popular was tiring.
“You’d better be careful.”
“Well, we’ll just have to wait and see who we have to watch out for.”
I grinned.

-There are shelters throughout the city.
-The number of monsters increases at night.
My anger and aggression are also amplified several times.
The trial on the 8th floor was a city with an atmosphere similar to Seoul.
High-rise buildings standing here and there.
A forest of buildings spreads out between asphalt-covered roads.
‘Unlike in Seoul, it’s hard to find something in good condition.’
Strangely shaped plants are wrapping around the building.
Cracks and corners are in good condition, but about half are missing.
There were many buildings that collapsed or fell on their sides.
As the name of the trial suggests, it was a world forgotten by people.
Was this what the destroyed city felt like during the cataclysm?
no.
Maybe this is the future that came when we failed to properly deal with the Gate incident.
‘This isn’t the original world.’
A space of trials created by the tower.
Just because it resembles a modern city
I became sentimental.
I turned my head left and right to calm my mind and looked around.
Half-tilted or broken buildings.
I tried expanding the sense of energy with [Cosmic Flow], but I could not feel any sign of the living beings.
-Guuuhuhuh.
instead.
A strange crying sound came from between the buildings.
As if they resonated with each other, the cries spread between nearby buildings.
Something jumped out through the collapsed entrance.
“It was a zombie after all.”
Zombies came out of nearby buildings.
The once desolate roadside was quickly filled with hordes of zombies.
“Are you the ones responsible for destroying the city?”
“Guuuuuuuu.”
“Well, I’m waiting for a response from a low-level undead.”
It’s a stupid thing to treat.”
I concentrated my holy power on my fingertips.
It’s a waste to wave your hand at these guys.
[Use the power of sacred fire.]
[Consumes 200 Holy Power.]
Surrounded by holy flames.
A flame that eliminates evil energy.
The living cannot be harmed.
It was a natural enemy of unclean beings such as demon species and undead.
“Guouh huh?”
A zombie jumped into the white flame and was instantly reduced to ashes.
Afterwards, other zombies also came towards me.
Grumble-!
Not a single one could penetrate the white flames and burned up.
‘It’s too weak.’
Even though I killed dozens of animals, my experience did not increase by even 0.01%.
I gained a lot of experience by leveling up while defeating Asmodeus.
“Guuuuuu!”
“Gooooh.”
Zombies were not intelligent.
Even after seeing their compatriots being burned, they instinctively rushed towards me.
If it stays like this, you can clean up your surroundings without even lifting a finger, right?
“Guuuuuuu!’’
It was a mistake.
As if it had been coated with honey, the number of zombies increased.
Zombies poured out from nearby buildings again.
‘The number of zombies is probably not infinite.’
I crossed my arms.
It is not too late to look around after all the zombies in the area have been wiped out.
at that time.
“You idiot! Turn off the light right now!”
Someone’s voice was heard from far away.
