Episode 40
Slurp.
The guy with long arms fell down without even screaming.
A large scar engraved on the body.
It is a trace of Ohodanmundo.
Next to him, Sam-Eun was sprawled out with blood in his mouth.
A 2-on-1 fight.
I won easily thanks to taking out the horned guy by surprise.
“Save me, save me.”
“Didn’t the victims who were harmed by you also say that?”
what.
It’s not that I’m specifically trying to implement justice.
I picked up the key hanging from the horned guy’s waist.
[Blood-Soaked Key]
Grade: Rare [R]
Type: Miscellaneous goods
Durability: 91/100
The altar of the ‘Nameless God’ somewhere in the desert of the dead.
You can use the key to avoid the Relic’s trials.
Currently the key is not complete. In order to function properly, it must be fed with the blood of a challenger.
‘Is this the sub-quest they were talking about?’
The altar of a nameless god.
This is a place that is not mentioned at all in the main quest.
“This. What is it used for?”
“Chu, clack. If you tell me, I’ll let you live.”
“I’ll kill you painlessly.”
“Hehehe… Then I can’t tell you.”
ha.
This is a guy who has no reflection.
“Altar of the Nameless God.”
“How can you do that…!”
“Did you catch a clumsy challenger like before and make him a sacrifice for the key?”
“…This guy. I knew everything from the beginning!”
Wow.
He’s an honest guy.
I roughly threw out the information I had grasped with the eyes of truth, and each and every one of them responded.
“I can’t let a coward like you live.”
A key soaked in blood.
How many challengers shed their blood to complete the key?
‘It’s natural for warriors to die.’
A person with a sword.
You always have to face death.
This was my creed in my past life.
However, it is an exception to lose one’s life in vain through a sneak attack rather than a direct fight.
Of course cowards should be punished.
Suddenly-
He swung his stance and hit Samnuni’s neck.
[Durability – 92/100]
‘Is it one for each guy?’
To complete the key, you must kill eight more challengers.
I shook my head.
A vast desert.
Meeting the horned guy and his group was almost a coincidence.
It was far from being able to complete the key and safely enter the ruins of the nameless monarch.
‘I’m sure there is no way.’
It is said that the key will help you avoid the test of the ruins.
If you take the ‘test’, you can enter the ruins without a key.
‘The tower gives rewards appropriate for the trials.’
I don’t know what the test of the ruins is.
Just looking at the conditions of the key, it won’t be easy.
If you think about it the other way around, it means that a huge reward is hidden within the ruins.
[The challenger on the first floor was killed.]
[All local information explored by the challenger will be inherited.]
[Search rate: 0.2% -> 81.1%]
What do you think?
On the map, the first floor structure that the horned bastard party had explored was clearly visible.
Stairs to the second floor.
The altar of a nameless god.

Southern oasis.
Eastern Sanctuary.
In addition, several geographical features caught my eye.
The altar is on the north.
The stairs to the second floor were located on the west side.
Perhaps because the sun had turned away from me, I was steadily walking towards the stairs from where I first started.
‘It’s not fun to go up like that.’
My gaze turned north.
This is the direction where the altar of the nameless god is located.
Rice Rice Rice Rice
I walked towards the northeast for two days. The altar of a nameless god.
This was the destination of the horned bastard and his party. Is it unfortunate or fortunate?
Increase the durability of the [Blood-Infused Key].
There was no real chance.
“Heavenly HH!”
People、•
Instead, monsters came out.
Big Cobra.
The five meter long snake spit out green liquid.
It is a deadly poison that suffocates its prey within a minute upon contact.
I dodged the venom by stepping on Unryubo and cut off the Big Cobra’s head with an axe.
‘Thanks to you, I did a lot of hunting.’
The average monsters that appeared on the first floor were B to C grades.
Think of it as a hunt to gain experience.
Then I felt much more at ease.
There were also drawbacks.
‘There is no situation to practice meditation.’ When operating Seongcheon Jogye Gong, you must
The safety of the surroundings must be ensured.
This is a wide desert.
Desert monsters crawl beneath the ground
There are many cases where it is straight.
Even if visibility is clear, it can be said to be safe.
I can’t.
In the end, I gave up training in Seongcheon Jogye Gong.
‘Recover the energy of the World Stone as soon as possible.
I need to absorb it.’
There was no need to absorb the star’s energy anymore.
A large sun located in the center of the image world.
Just by absorbing the energy of the World Stone, the perfection of the microcosm quickly increased.
‘Let’s not think about what won’t work.’
While going through the ordeal on the first floor, it was convenient to forget about Seongcheon Jogyegong training.
How much more did I have to walk?
A large structure standing tall among the sand caught my eye.
I strengthened my eyesight by focusing the chaos in my eyes.
‘Is that an altar?’
An altar built towards the sky.
It looks similar to the ziggurat built to worship the gods in ancient Mesopotamia.
［Tower of Trials – 1st floor］
［Subquest: Altar of the Nameless God］
An altar to a vicious god who in the past sought divinity through human sacrifice.
Although it lost all its followers in the war and declined, the power of god still remains in the altar.
Pass the test of the guardian guarding the altar and obtain the god’s relic.

A translucent window appeared.
This is the hologram window I saw when I came up to the first floor.
The difference is that it is similar to the tower’s main quest, but there is a limit instead of an end condition.
‘If you want a greater reward, you should challenge yourself.’
by the way.
The subquest reward is 10,000 points.
One million points received during the tutorial
It didn’t seem like a small shame.
The moment you are about to climb the altar.
I heard a subtle sound in my ear.
Sabak, Sabak.
The sound of footsteps getting closer.
Beyond the sand dunes, the silhouette of an uninvited guest was visible.
“I guess there was a passenger.”
A profound voice.
A competitor has appeared, aiming for the [Altar of the Nameless God].
The appearance of the uninvited guest was similar to that of a human.
About 2 meters tall.
Blonde hair, golden eyes, and golden armor.
It was a man whose entire body was dyed gold.
‘ strong.’
gulp.
I swallowed.
A strong scent of magical power.
The energy surging from the man’s whole body was unusual.
A period of constant writhing chaos.
The power emitted by Seongcheon Jogye Gong is a man.
It responded to one magical power.
‘The sailor… he also came aiming for this altar.’
A subquest with a 10-day limit.
Only one of us, the man and I, can go up to the altar.
shit.
An intense aura that tingles the skin.
At his current level, there is absolutely no chance of beating the man.
I checked the opponent’s abilities with the eyes of truth.
laude goldrian
Race: Draconian / Age: 111
Aptitude: Fighting, Magic
Strength: ??? / Agility : ??? / Matt’s house……
Much stronger than my current level
opponent.
You can read abilities with the eyes of truth
There wasn’t.
‘It was Yongin.’
Yongin, Draconian.
They are a race that inherited the blood of dragons.
Yongin values honor and power.
Fair fight and growth through struggle were considered the highest values.
Maybe that’s why, in my past life, I got along quite well with dragons.
‘If you’re 100 years old, you’re still young.’
Yongins tend to grow faster than dragons.
When you turn 100, it seems like you just had a coming-of-age ceremony. The energy he gave off was quite strong for his age.
I asked a question first.
“Who are you?”
“My name is Lau de Goldrian. I am a proud descendant of the Gold clan.”
“Earthling. This is Jeon Min-cheol.”
The man, Lau’s golden eyes shone brightly.
A vivid golden light quickly swept over my body.
“I would like to add for you that at the altar
“It would be best not to climb.”
“Why?”
“The test of the altar will be difficult for someone from Earth like you to handle.”
Wow.
Who is he lecturing to when he just became an adult?
hey.
I drank alcohol and took a bath together with your leader!
‘…In my past life.’
I had a sore appetite for no reason.
“What do I gain if I give up on the side quest?”
“It’s your chance to survive and climb to the next level of the tower.”
“Then you get the reward I didn’t get.”
“I’m only saying this because I’m worried about you…
“You mean you have no intention of stealing the reward?”
“That’s right. The dragon clan is not that shameless.”
okay.
I know better than anyone else that we are an unscrupulous race.
‘If I do it well, I might be able to use it.’
If you get to know the dragon people, they have a bit of a clumsy talent.
As I slowly scratched, the answer came out just as I wanted.
A sub-quest that I had half-given up on.
I discovered a glimmer of possibility in Lau’s reaction.
“What if I can defeat the guardian of the altar?”
” Hmm••••••
A look of conflict spread across Lau’s face.
Dragons do not tell lies.
Either a dragon or something.
A Draconian who inherited that blood.
There weren’t many people who were stupidly honest and could use tricks like that.
For some reason, I think I heard a lot of stories like that in my past life.
“I can’t believe it. The amount of magical power you have is not as special as that of other challengers.”
“Then try it.”
“What do you mean?”
“I wonder if I can take down the altar guardian by myself.”
“You are in danger.”
“We can win as long as no one interferes. You just have to protect the surroundings, right?”
Lau frowned as if he was thinking.
“If you think I’m going to die, then you can step in.”
“Do you use your own hands?”
“It means skipping the sub-quest.”
“I don’t want to take away your rights as a passenger. Do as you wish.”
I held back laughter.
A visit from a stranger and uninvited guest led to the best results.
Pride and foolishness… no, a dragon full of honesty. Draconian.
Even if it has just become an adult, it is strong enough to easily defeat a decent demon.
That guy became my bodyguard, even if only for a short time.
While fighting the guardian of the altar, someone
There was no need to worry about being disturbed by others.
“I wish you luck.”
Lau stepped back as promised.
Not that kind of idiot. A gentlemanly guy.
I went up to the altar.
top.
It is a place to offer offerings.
The top is a large stone shaped like a regular hexagon.
It is placed on the flag.
There is a hole in the center of the rock.
It was identical to the shape of the ‘blood-soaked key’.
[The guardian of the altar appears.]
Whoa!
The cubic rock became transparent, emitting a reddish glow.
The guardian who had been sleeping inside the rock opened his eyes.
“This is the Guardian?”
A nameless god.
I don’t know who he was, but it was clear that he had pretty bad taste.
The guardian was a dog-like monster.
If you enlarge a Doberman twenty times and attach dozens of tentacles to its back, wouldn’t it look like this?
Fel Beast.
It is a hellish hound that catches prey with a bundle of tentacles, squeezes out the juices, and chews the meat.
“Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!”
The fell beast woke up and cried out.
Its eyes were aimed squarely at me.
[The fight with the guardian begins.]
[The battle area is limited to the altar.]
A reddish light surrounded the area in the shape of a hemisphere.
This is a duel area declared as a quest.
Lau let out a groan as if he was embarrassed.
“Oh my. If this happens, you will be
Even if you are in trouble, I can help you…”
“don’t worry.”
I cut Lau off mid-sentence.
［Dark Star – Seven Star Sword］
A sword held in hand.
The black blade scattered an eerie light.
“It won’t take long.”
Head towards the Fell Beast that is approaching you with great strides.
I swung my sword like that.
