Episode 46
The moment you set foot on the trial site.
Whiiing!
The mana in the water began to rotate in one direction.
The flow of the sea is distorted.
It is a harbinger of a whirlpool.
‘wait for a sec. There’s no need to wait, right?’
The second sea test had no restrictions like the Jewel Lantern Angler.
Lasting 10 minutes.
The means doesn’t matter.
then.
‘Smash the vortex.’
［Dark Star – Spear］
Both hands are completely black.
Ran grabbed the spear.
Mana started spinning around me.
The flow of the mana vortex can be felt so clearly that it feels like you can touch it.
[Use the musical singing method.]
[Consumes 5.6 Chaos.]
Papapot!
A spear shot out like a beam of light.
A song containing the techniques of musical singing swept through the water.
I continued swinging the spear without stopping and continued to the next stage of the Akachang technique.
Every time I moved my arms and legs, bubbles bubbled.
‘Here’s the next one.’
Pot! Papat!
The window moves constantly.
Actions that appear meaningless to others.
It was different for me.
‘Cut it off.’
Every time the tip of the spear cuts through the water, mana is lost.
The flow of the dragon suddenly stopped.
1 minute, then 2 minutes.
Even as time passes, a mana vortex appears.
It was not completed.
“What is this… By now it’s a whirlpool
“My teeth need to stand up like that?!”
Gerard’s voice passed by my ear.
The chaos in the window.
It’s not strong enough to shape energy.
not.
But the flow of the mana vortex
It was enough to destroy.
Whirlpools are constantly created and destroyed.
was repeated.
Five minutes of fighting a silent enemy.
Kwakwakwa!
An unprecedented torrent of mana began to swirl around me.
As the water was caught up in the mana torrent, it began to create a large vortex that had never been seen before.
‘I can’t stand this.’
I took down the spear.
Musical singing was not enough.
A body caught in a whirlpool fell from the ground.
The power carried by the water was great.
Like the current wall I faced after catching the jeweled lantern anglerfish.
It felt like a big wall that I couldn’t overcome no matter what I did.
‘Is this what power is?’
The flow of mana has become dozens of times stronger than before.
so that.
Gaps that could not have been seen were revealed.
I looked at the center of the whirlpool, at the floor where my feet had been standing just a moment ago.
‘That’s where it was.’
The center of the mana vortex.
With an explosion of energy, the core of the whirlpool appeared.
In the human body, it is bloodletting.
This is an acupoint that will definitely kill you if you prick it.
‘Even if I knew, it would be difficult to stab him.’
A body pushed into a whirlpool.

They were quickly pushed away without any gap to resist the vortex.
In the blink of an eye, it soared more than 10 meters above the sea floor.
Place your right hand on the left side of your pelvis.
A black sheath appeared on his waist.
‘Aiming for that place.’
[Seven Star Demon Sword – Uses 1 second type.]
[Consumes 280 Chaos.]
Jet black.
The one-second attack of the seven-star magic sword, which even fells the stars in the sky, was unleashed.
The large sword energy cut off the vortex flow at once.
Water and Mana.
It is a sword that ‘kills’ even inanimate objects.
When the whirlpool slowed down.
He rushed toward the floor with all his might.
[Seven Star Demon Sword – Uses 2 seconds.]
[Consumes 280 Chaos.]
Second herbivore.
A star falling from the sky, a meteor sword.
It went down the space that was cut with the first sword and pressed down on the sea floor.
Kwaaaaang!
There was a loud explosion.
The impact was as if a cannonball had hit the target rather than a sword being swung.
This Chosik carries the secret of heavy pressure.
The word ‘press’ was more suitable than ‘cut’.
Let’s slam this herbivore into the ground, mana cow
The dragon didn’t rise anymore.
Wheeoooo-
A refluxing mana vortex.
The vortex, which had been spinning in the right direction, started spinning in the opposite direction, pushing everything around me away.
The dirt that had settled on the floor was caught up in the mana backflow and surged into the sea.
A large amount of dust rises, disturbing the view.
“Oh, crazy! What happened!”
“The vortex is spreading in all directions.
go!”
Those waiting to participate in the ordeal also got caught up in the storm caused by the backflow of mana.
“What is this?”
Gerrard was among them.
［Tower of Trials – 2nd floor］
［Quest: Jewel of the Sea – Passed Garnet’s Trial.］
［2,000 points are given as an achievement reward.］
［Adds 10 hours to the air pack.］
It was the same message as when I snatched the ruby from the Jewel Lanternfish.
but.
The system’s alarm did not end there.
[Time – 00：4：31]
[Garnet’s trials have been exceeded. It is an amazing feat that no one has ever achieved.]
[Your name and achievements will be recorded in the tower’s history.]
[As an achievement reward, an Abyss Pearl will appear on your compass.]
[The Pearl of the Abyss already exists. The pearl grows in size.]
‘Overachieving?’
This ordeal is about surviving the mana vortex.
Not content with holding on, I cut off the vortex itself.
‘Does it mean that there is no need to only clear the quest using the method suggested?’
A change in thinking that is not easy to think of.
Thanks to this, I was able to discover one hidden element of the tower.
of course.
It’s never easy to ‘cut’ a vortex like I did.
A seabed with water everywhere.
It’s a place where it’s difficult just to keep your body in check.
If you get caught up in the mana vortex, it will be difficult to keep your balance.
‘Even if I tell you how, it will be difficult.’
At first, the flow of mana must be cut off and the power revealed when the power is fully released.
You need to aim for short gaps and cut them.
Rather than looking for a needle in the desert.
This is possible because I am Jeon Min-cheol.
‘tower. It’s really endless.’
Tower of Trials.
The higher I went, the more hidden elements appeared, which amused me.
Rice Rice Rice Rice
I went straight to the trials of the third sea area.
It was a challenge.
The third test was the test of opal, a gem that emits bright yellow light.
［Jewel of the Sea – Opal］
Defeat the giant metal shark.
A 15m metal shark.
It is more than three times the size of the metal shark that appears in the sea.
A shark monster whose entire body is covered in iron armor.
I opened my big mouth and stuffed it tightly.
Hundreds of tongue-like teeth revealed their presence.
“If you get bitten by that thing, it’s fatal!”
Gerard advised.
Hmm… I think I know that without you having to say it.
Not only is it not a fatal wound, but it seems unlikely that the body will be found either.
I gave my all from the beginning.
He created a large wound on his stomach using the Seven Star Demon Sword and stuffed the hellish fire into it.
‘There’s nothing like this for a large monster.’
If you unfolded the Seven Star Demonic Sword properly.
No matter how big the monster is, it can be cut down with one blow.
However, my body, the subject of martial arts, has not yet been refined, so I cannot fully demonstrate the techniques of rising martial arts.
Hell’s Terror was a good match for such a gigantic monster.
Grumble!
The flames of hell that do not go out even on the bottom of the sea.
The dark red flames ate away at the inside of the giant metal shark.
‘A test like this is easier.’
I grinned.
As expected, it was easier to hit with the body rather than using the head.
“Kuoooooo
The giant metal shark struggled and fell down.
“Please guide me to the location of the next trial.”
“Hey. Are you okay?”
“I’m fine.”
“Hehe. I’m just saying, aren’t you tired?”
well.
I didn’t feel tired.
Jumping in the water and hunting monsters?
In my previous life, I fought non-stop for 100 days in an even worse environment.
Although it is difficult to compare the body of today with that of that time.
Thanks to the chaos constantly rising in the world of images, I did not get tired at all.
The fourth test site was an underwater volcano.
Bubbling lava.
Black smoke rose through the water.
“It won’t be easy from here on out.”
Gerrard warned.
Cracked floor.
Red-colored magma repeatedly rose and entered through holes and gaps.
［Jewel of the Sea – Emerald］
Cross the volcanic field on foot.
“Is this the most difficult trial?”
“No. Of the remaining trials, it is said to be the easiest.”
“thank god.”
“What do you mean?”
“If it’s boring, the reward is less.”
I wasn’t worried at all.
The ordeal of the tower.
The higher the difficulty, the higher the reward.
This is what I felt while performing repeated trials.
Obtained by enduring the vortex of mana
compensation.
The reward obtained when the vortex itself was destroyed was much greater.
‘The more difficult it is, the better it is for me.’
Objectively speaking, the second floor, [Abyss of the Sea], was extremely difficult.
A trial that takes place in the sea.
Except for some races such as fishmen, mermaids, and lizard people, it is an inconvenient place to even move around.
In particular, challengers from Earth, also known as non-rankers, will have a hard time completing the Abyssal Sea Trial.
I wonder if the challengers staying there gave it the name Deep Sea.
“But Mr. Gerard, why do you keep guiding me?”
“I haven’t seen anyone like you in three years.”
“It’s a compliment, right?”
“No. I’m following you around because I’m anxious.”
“Well, please stay a while. I’ll be back soon.”
Gerard played with his nose hair with a disapproving look.
“People don’t have any tension. They die.
“Not me.”
I set foot near an undersea volcano.
The goal is the end of the volcanic zone.
Because the current wall surrounds the area, it must penetrate the volcanic zone.
Keeping a promise was easy.
Volcanic area.
It’s a dangerous place.
The lava flowed along the ley lines and exploded arbitrarily.
An explosive action that occurs in an invisible place.
If you’re unlucky, you’ll get covered in lava.
Several challengers were caught up in the lava explosion and died without even being able to save a single bone.
‘That’s the norm.’
Just because you can’t see it.
I could not avoid my senses, which were maximized by Seongcheon Jogyekong.
More than what you see with your eyes.
Trusting my well-honed senses, I crossed the volcanic area.
After picking up the emerald at the end of the volcanic field, we went straight to the starting point.
“Congratulations. Now you can move on to the next level.”
“Mr. Gerard. What do you mean?”
I shook my head.
“Now that we’ve started, we need to gather them all.”
Second ordeal.
Seven jewels sleeping in the abyss of the sea.
I planned to pass all the trials and collect the gems.
‘Then the reward will be greater.’
Achievement system.
Additional rewards are given for doing great things that few others have done.
It was like that during the ordeal on the 0th floor.
It was the same when destroying the mana vortex.
‘There are not many challengers who collect all seven jewels and advance to the third floor.’
Collect seven jewels.
Wouldn’t it be enough for the tower to recognize it as an achievement?
“…Good. I’ll guide you.”
There was a tired look on Gerard’s face.
“Why do you look so tired?”
“Who could it be because of? It’s because of the Asian person in front of me!”
“That’s a racist comment.”
“I don’t know. Where did this monster come from?”
Gerard grumbles.
I could tell from the smile on his face that it wasn’t his true intention.
Sapphire during the fifth trial.
In the sixth trial, I obtained lapis lazuli, an indigo-colored gem.
Breaking through the trials in the abyss of the sea
passed through terrain.
‘Now I just need to get one more.’
Seventh trial.
Only Amethyst, a gem that emits purple light, remains.
