Episode 48
The ground shakes.
Sediments that had settled on the bottom of the deep sea rose upward.
Someone’s attack?
‘It’s not like that.’
gulp.
I swallowed.
A great shock that shakes the ground.
It was the aftermath of ‘something’ that I thought was a mountain moving.
The sleeping ‘monster’ opened his eyes for the first time in a long time.
Eyelids that are pushed up and down.
Bright yellow eyes measuring tens of meters in diameter appeared.
A long mountain vein crossing the ocean floor.
Its identity was a large ‘snake’.
『You little thing. With a mortal body
You have passed the ordeal.』
The snake opened its mouth slightly and hissed.
Tongue sticking out between lips. Each time it goes in and out, the water pushes out, creating an ocean current.
‘It’s so big.’
The first monster encountered in the Tower Trials
What do you think?
I think I know the identity of the monster.
“Jormungand.”
I muttered softly, as if I was talking to myself.
『Mortal. How do you know my name?』
The snake did not deny it.
World Serpent Jormungand.
It is a snake that swallowed up one dimension.
Long ago, he was a former demon lord who occupied one of the 72 seats of Pandemonium.
It is said that no one has seen him since he left the 72nd place one day and disappeared from Pandemonium.
‘I’ve never met you in person.’
Jormungand reigns as a demon lord.
It was a very long time ago.
Of the long history of Pandemonium, this is something that remains only recorded on one page.
I remember because I am a former dimension leader.
Jormungand’s pupils stared at me intently.
Beyond the body.
It’s a look inside.
『It’s a strange phenomenon. It is clearly a mortal body, but what resides within it is the soul of a devil.』
“There are circumstances.”
I smiled self-deprecatingly.
“Why are you here?”
『It’s because of the covenant with…』
The front of the horse sounded muffled.
An intangible power that distorts [name]. There seems to be strong restrictions that even restrict language.
‘Even if you ask, it will be difficult to get an answer.’
A monster from the mythical era.
I was no longer interested in the ‘former demon lord’ who was now almost forgotten even in Pandemonium.
The important thing is.
Why did that giant monster wake up now?
『The covenant I made is simply to stay here, so there will be nothing to worry about.』
phew.
I’m glad I don’t have to fight with that ignorant guy.
How long can you last?
Holding on is not the problem.
Even if you just brush against that large body, you die.
‘The difference in weight class must be reasonable before fighting.’
Time to breathe a sigh of relief.
『In my time. If there was an enemy, I opened my mouth without caring whether they were strong or weak.』
『These days, juniors don’t have grit. Guts.』
I feel strangely dirty?
If it had been my past life, I would have had a fight with so many places to hit!
‘done. Thinking about the past
‘What are you doing?’
I have to quickly become strong enough to beat Jormungand.
Feeling sad for no reason, I promised myself again.
I need to change the topic before that snake-head says more nonsense.
“What are the contents of the oath?”

『I’m sorry I can’t tell you.』
“I was once a demon lord too. Why don’t you tell me?”
『You know better that that can’t be done.
Ter.J
Sheesh.
I clicked my tongue.
A former demon lord would have created a loophole in the covenant.
The Jormungand guy has an annoying attitude just by looking at him.
『Instead, let’s give a gift to our poor junior.』
Something black fell on my head.
I stretched out my arm and snatched it.
” leather?”
『It’s a cloak made from my scales and skin. Just engrave it and it’s complete.』
“Senior! I will never forget your warm love!”
I bowed 90 degrees and bowed.
The skin and scales of monsters from mythological times.
It is a material with higher value than rare minerals.
and. Senior Lee.
The barrel is so big!
As expected, we are from the same Pandemonium, and love for juniors is love for the country.
『The time allowed to me ends here.
I think so.』
“Is that also related to the oath?”
“yes.”
Large eyelids covered bright yellow eyes.
A voice that stretches out and becomes submerged.
I feel like I’m going to fall asleep soon.
“Senior. What should I do if I suddenly close my eyes?”
『Blindness… Weakness… Sleep…』
thud-
Jormungand is on the bottom of the sea without speaking.
I hit my head on the floor.
The impact shook the earth once again, and the sea shook violently.
“Wow. Senior Jormungand turned the ocean floor upside down.”
Even when I speak to him, there is no response.
The Jormungand guy.
It seems like he really fell asleep.
‘I just say what I have to say and go to sleep.’
What kind of covenant did you make?
Who is the subject of the covenant?
There were many things I wanted to ask.
‘How do you know when the person involved is sleeping?’
I shook my head left and right.
Unless it can be solved by thinking about it, it’s better not to think about it.
More important than that was the reward obtained from passing all of the trials on the second floor.
-Rainbow ring.
-World Serpent Cloak. (Incomplete)
The performance of the World Serpent Cloak is unknown.
When you engrave the engraving, you will be able to know its true appearance.
I stroked my cloak.
‘We need to reorganize on Earth.’
Cloak engraving.
This is a task that cannot be done during an ordeal.
The materials needed for the second liberation of Dark Star must also be supplied.
‘I need to check how the work I asked Martin to do is progressing.’
My own training ground.
Earth has a low mana density, so training is slow.
It is not possible to enter the gate every time to practice.
Although the tower’s mana density is high, it is difficult to concentrate because there is always danger.
‘wait for a sec.’
Suddenly, a good idea occurred to me.
I looked around.
A place where, except for Jormungand, there is not a single breathing creature.
This place…….
It is the bottom of the sea of death.
[Water Pressure Lv 50]
The pressure is such that it’s difficult to lift a finger if you’re not focused.
And ultra-high mana density.
‘The environment is dozens of times better than the gate.’
If you train here, you will be able to drastically increase your training and martial arts achievements.
Why didn’t I think of that idea right away!
The Sea of Death was the best training place.
‘300 hours of air pack remaining.’
no way.
This compensates for the air pack time.
You didn’t drive it, right?
Limited training period.
During that period, you must soak your body as much as possible.
Wow-
I tightened my hands.
* * *
Before starting training.
First, I unlocked all the items.
［Tanros］ When taking off the armor, use water pressure.
This body was pressed down even more strongly.
When I took off the [Vulkan’s Oath] ring and the [Sylph’s Tears] earrings, I stumbled from the strong force.
The sacred flame was also released.
10,000m deep sea.
A sea of death where enormous gravity and water pressure weigh down everything.
After removing the item, it was difficult to breathe.
“Aaaah!”
Just standing still gives me strength
What a surprise.
I screamed and exerted all my strength.
It looks like it will be crushed by the water pressure at any moment.
As chaos circulated, bones, muscles, and skin were protected.
Jirrit, jirrit.
Ultra-dense mana reacted to the flow of chaos and stimulated the body.
[Physical abilities improve due to the effects of Seongcheon Jogye Gong.]
[Strength increases by 0.2.]
[Agility increases by 0.1.]
[Toughness 0.2…….]
Just by holding on, my body was strengthened.
Tremendous pressure pressing down on your body.
It was the effect of squatting with my whole body even if I was just breathing.
‘It’s more effective when you take the item off.’
A feeling of pressure that takes your breath away.
Although it was painful, I smiled.
The voice of the system that reaches your ears at regular intervals.
I felt like I was getting stronger just by standing still and resisting the water pressure.
How did you get used to the water pressure?
The stat increase alarm period became longer and longer.
‘I need to move on to the next step.’
Step your right foot forward.
I just walked.
My body was shaking.
I gritted my teeth and stretched out my left foot.
Both feet moving repeatedly. Footprints were engraved one by one on the bottom of the deep sea.
Did you walk about 100 meters?
It was so hot it felt like my lungs were going to burn.
Thump thump thump!
The heart repeats contraction and relaxation, pumping fresh blood throughout the body.
[Strength has increased by 0.1.]
[Unryubo’s achievement has increased by 0.3%.]
‘okay. This is it!’
A steady stride length.
It is a step filled with Unryubo’s heart.
On Earth, this was an achievement that could only be achieved by concentrating on the Gyeongsin method for more than an hour.
‘How efficient is it?!’
10 times? 20 times?
I couldn’t even guess.
I repeated rest and practice of Gyeongsinbeop.
At first, at a slow pace.
As the body adapts to the mind of Gyeongsinbeop,
I picked up the pace.
Footprints are engraved on the ground one by one.
sea floor.
A space where time had been dead for a long time was filled with vitality(?).
米 * *
I ran around the floor for a while applying the Gyeongsinbeop.
At first, all I could do was walk.
The movement of the body and internal forces become unified
In doing so, I gradually overcame the pressure of the deep sea.
‘Next is martial arts.’
Nangah Chilseong, vol.
This is the first martial art I learned.
Because the Dark Star was used, there were no situations to unfold in actual combat.
Maybe that’s why it felt awkward to make movements.
Boom! humming!
A fist that cuts through the water.
Every time I stretched out my fist, I turned my waist and stepped forward.
‘All martial strength comes from the lower body.’
The importance of the lower body is also responsible for adapting to the pressure of the deep sea using the Gyeongshin method.
The lower body that supports the body.
Depending on how you move your legs and feet, you can generate strength stably.
The pressure of feeling like you would be crushed by water pressure if you let go even for a moment.
He showed extreme concentration every time he punched or swung his feet.
Crunch- Crunch!
Muscles repeat rupture and regeneration.
The chaos that permeated the entire body system ‘transformed’ the body to suit martial arts.
Unryubo.
Nangah Chilseong, vol.
Musical singing method.
Taesanbubeop.
Hwahwadandosul.
‘Learn the basic martial arts first.’
To learn ascending martial arts, you must build a good foundation.
The above martial artists also embody the sentiments of Segana martial artists who gained fame on the Mu continent.
It was made.
but.
It was also insufficient compared to the famous period of the famous family that fought for supremacy over the Mu Continent.
The martial arts that I will learn from now on are the names of each famous family or sect.
And this is the vision of the Demonic Cult.
‘If you force yourself to learn rising martial arts first, your body won’t be able to withstand it.’
I remembered the time when I learned the Seven Star Demon Sword.
A match against Jeong Seong-hee.
The memory of the soul to overcome the great wall
was applied to the body to force the use of rising martial arts.
Even thinking about it now, the pain was so terrible.
Pain is pain, but it was a dangerous method that could even destroy the identity of the soul.
‘It was because my eyes rolled back at the time.’
Tsk.
I was thirsty for no reason.
In order to not do something crazy like that, I had to lay the foundation.
‘These martial arts skills are enough.’
Grade B martial arts skills were not insufficient.
The military exploits of losers who dominated or terrorized an area.
The singing style alone was very powerful as it was a representative singing technique of Shandong music.
A sea of death heavier than a thousand waters.
Ultra-dense mana that constantly stimulates the body and promotes growth.
I rested, practiced, and ate repeatedly, creating a ray of wind in the quiet sea.
