Episode 95
It is said that when a person is faced with the threat of death, he or she remembers the entire process of life in a short moment.
This is the so-called flashing phenomenon.
‘Extreme fear releases the restrictions on the soul.’
Finding a way to overcome a crisis by quickly scanning the information recorded in the brain.
Ordinary people cannot maintain that state for long.
If your soul is not of high rank, you cannot escape from the infinitely expanded swamp of thought.
The extrasensory mind voluntarily falls into a state similar to that of a magician.
‘You can react to enemy movements in slowed time.’
expansion of thinking.
It doesn’t actually slow down the passage of time.
It’s about thinking quickly and coordinating your body movements by dividing one second into hundreds or thousands.
‘I never thought I would get something like this here.’
Hehehe.
Laughter leaked out.
Extrasensory skills cannot be learned unless one has reached the level of a demon lord or archangel.
It was a ‘characteristic’ that I had to acquire someday in order to surpass myself in my past life.
‘As expected, the trials of the tower are the best.’
I completely erased the grumbling about the trap from my mind.
Various traps that stimulate the five senses of the challenger.
By elevating my senses to the extreme over a long period of time, I reached the realm of supersensibility.
I moved forward without hesitation.
The moment I put my right foot on the ground, a strange wave rose from the floor.
[Extra senses have been activated.]
A moment of crisis.
The world stopped as it turned black and white.
no.
It felt like it had stopped, but it was moving ever so slightly.
When a crisis was detected, the extra senses automatically activated and accelerated the flow of thought.
‘A trap that binds one’s feet. Is it really up there?’
Several holes opened in the ceiling.
Rain of arrows.
In a slowed sense of time, on the ceiling
I found an arrow hidden in .
I focused my chaos energy on my feet, destroying part of the magic formation and kicking the ground at the same time.
The concentrated chaotic energy was released, pushing the body forward.
Swish!
A barrage of arrows raining down one step too late.
The crisis is not over.
[Extra senses have been activated.]
A series of crises.
‘Do you think you’ll be treated as foolishly as before?’
I figured out the structure of the trap in infinitely slow time.
The moment the perceived time returns to its original state.
By moving in a zigzag manner, he avoided the trap attack.
‘I must have really bothered people.’
From now on, it is a skill event.
Following the Seongcheon Jogye Gong, his entire body was engulfed in sacred flame.
They couldn’t stop me with traps or anything like that anymore.
Rice #:
Administrator Rand.
He is in charge of the 1st to 5th floors of the Tower of Trials, commonly known as [Level 1].
The being wearing the peach mask was looking at the monitoring screen.
Administrator-only screen.
The number of holograms reached hundreds, if not thousands.
Each screen shows the challengers climbing the tower.
Among them, the screen Rand was looking at was special.
[#9484 Dimension – Earth: Jeon Min-cheol]
[Performing the 4th floor trial.]
[I am observing using clairvoyance.]
clairvoyance.
Mincheol’s abilities reflected on the hologram screen were displayed above in real time.
The moment Rand greeted Min-cheol, he used clairvoyance, one of the mask’s functions.
‘It’s quite a hassle to meet the conditions for clairvoyance.’
The administrator takes over part of the tower’s system.
Numerous holographic windows are one of them.
However, there are many things you cannot know just by looking at the screen.
Clairvoyance is a top system-exclusive skill that allows you to take a closer look at challengers with ‘singularities’.

The condition for use is to face the other person.
The presence was so secret that it could not be detected by the challenger’s level.
“Caw. Manager, this is Crow.”
A crow about the size of a person entered the manager’s room.
Rand waved his hand roughly, ignoring the greeting.
“Kak. What are you concentrating on… Ah, isn’t that an unlucky challenger?”
“That’s right. I’m concentrating. Could you please be quiet for a little bit?”
The tone is chilly.
Rand looked quite uncomfortable.
Crow nodded his head fiercely with his beak tightly closed.
Bang bang!
A series of loud noises erupted from the screen showing Min-cheol.
A trap set in the passage.
These traps are so vicious that if you advance carelessly, they will fall to pieces and their bodies will be difficult to find.
A trap that collapses when you step on it.
Both sides of the aisle are narrowed, allowing challengers to
A crushing trap.
They covered the surroundings with poisonous fog and placed Living Armor in front and behind, tying their feet.
‘You mean you saw through all of that?’
Just before the trap is triggered.
Mincheol avoided the trap as if he already knew the type and effect.
A light of suspicion appeared in Rand’s eyes.
‘I guess I didn’t awaken my sixth sense in that short period of time.’
The tower constantly presents challenges to challengers climbing toward the top.
The same goes for the trials on the 4th floor.
Numerous traps installed in the passageway were designed to awaken the challenger’s senses and awaken his [6th sense] characteristic.
Rand shook his head from side to side.
‘This is impossible even if you have awakened your sixth sense.’
The sixth sense is not omnipotent.
In particular, it was difficult to avoid traps without murderous intent even with the [sixth sense].
Mincheol’s movements were different.
All traps were read and avoided or destroyed with optimal action.
That wasn’t the only thing that shocked Rand.
[Confirm Auror Blade emission.]
[Destructive power: SS+]
[Confirm the emission of aura.]
[Destructive power: S++]
Mincheol occasionally swung his weapon and deflected attacks coming from the front.
By activating [Clairsight], I was able to grasp the power of each attack.
‘I’m sure most of my stats are below A level.’
From S++ to SS+ level.
Every time I swung a sword, spear, or sword, an aura formed.
Occasionally, when the Auror Blade was activated, the attack rank jumped one level at a time.
“System. I need to check the challenger’s abilities.”
［Recognize Manager Rand’s command. all people
The status of the iron challenger will be displayed on the screen.]
Abilities displayed on one side of the hologram.
‘This••••••?!’
Rand’s eyes were filled with astonishment.
Strength rose to S+ level, and agility rose to S level.
His stamina and tenacity are A+ level.
No existing auxiliary magic or holy method could increase physical abilities by more than two times.
‘If you use bamboo clothes overlapping, the reduction is halved.
‘It’s bound to happen.’
Auxiliary magic or blessings increase physical abilities beyond their limits.
Instead, when multiple spells are used in duplicate, they repel each other, drastically reducing the amplification effect.
But.
Mincheol’s abilities had more than doubled.
‘It’s not just that abilities have increased.’
Powerful energy erupts every time you swing the weapon.
The technology to manipulate mana was also mysterious.
Rand didn’t know it, but Mu Continent’s martial arts boasted tremendous efficiency in the area of mana handling.
The destructive power of each attack was rated as high as SS level or higher.
‘It’s hard to adapt if your strength suddenly increases. But I don’t think he’s the author.’
Rand clicked his tongue in disapproval.
The manager of the 0th floor, a talent that Luce paid attention to.
It was already a widely spread story among administrators that she had given Mincheol the ‘piece of Oron’ she had cherished for a long time.
‘He was the first challenger she was interested in.’
Rand was also interested in Mincheol at first.
All challengers conducting trials on floors 1 to 5 can be monitored.
but.
Mincheol’s abilities were poor.
‘I don’t think it would be difficult to become a variable at that level.’
Rand quickly lost interest.
but.
Recently, I heard the name Jeon Min-cheol again.
“Crow.”
“Caw. Manager, did you call me?”
“You were the one who reported on that challenger.”
“That’s right. Kak!”
A weak challenger not even worth worrying about.
Jeon Min-cheol grew rapidly in a short period of time, breaking TOP records one by one.
‘It’s difficult now that variables have emerged.’
The tower has been maintained for eons.
But during those long years, no one reached the top.
The era of the seven emperors.
The seven powerful men call themselves the emperors of the tower
He built up his power by calling himself （皇）.
A tense struggle.
The Seven Emperors are keeping each other in check, unable to climb further up the tower and are staying in place.
Some of the administrators were tired of the entrenched situation in the tower and even tried to ally themselves with some of the Seven Emperors.
Rand was one of them.
‘Was there a reason why the manager on the 0th floor paid attention?’
Unwanted variable.
In the process of Min-cheol performing the ordeal,
I wanted to wear it, but even that didn’t work out the way I wanted.
Administrators are, in principle, prohibited from being involved in tower trials.
Involvement is only possible when the content of the trial is twisted or when a major variable arises.
Rand looked at Crow who was standing there awkwardly.
“Did you ever break any rules during the trials?”
“Nothing. Caw!”
“Is that so……
I swallowed the last words, “It’s a shame,” inside.
Even if you are a manager, if you show an attitude that goes against fairness, you can incur the wrath of the tower.
I turned my head again and looked directly at the Clairvoyance screen.
The image of Min-cheol rushing through the passageway was clearly reflected on the screen.
‘At this level, it’s almost like reaching the color level…
A state beyond grade.
Only when one reaches the stage of distinguishing one’s power by ‘color’ is one recognized as a true powerhouse within the tower.
‘No, what was I thinking?’
Rand was startled.
Mincheol’s current level was not high.
Although he improved his specifications with auxiliary magic, his actual physical abilities were mostly B+ or B.
It was a long way from reaching the point where colors could be distinguished.
‘At most, a non-ranker from Earth
There is no such thing as reaching color.’
When Rand was denying the thoughts that came to his mind unconsciously.
Suddenly, Mincheol stopped walking.
End of screen.
A wormhole glowing blue was reflected.
“Knock. I can see the end of the passage over there.”
“Have you already passed the ordeal?”
Rand’s voice was particularly weak.
Non-ranker.
Challengers from Earth stayed on average for about 15 days in the 4th floor ordeal.
The straight line distance of the passage is 10km.
Although the distance was not long, the problem was the traps that filled the passage.
When you return to the starting point, your wounds will automatically heal.
A common strategy is to go through the pitfalls yourself, heal and recover repeatedly, and advance through the passage.
‘You broke through that in less than a few hours.’
A speed that destroys common sense.
It was the highest record among non-rankers.
Considering all the challengers who broke through the 4th floor, it was only at the upper level, but it was an amazing achievement.
The challengers who ranked at the top were high-ranking spirits who were powerful from birth, such as dragons, angels, and demons.
The fact that Mincheol stood shoulder to shoulder with them was itself a big variable.
at that time.
– hey.
Mincheol suddenly spoke into the air.
did.
Goosebumps appeared on Rand’s body.
‘Why, why are you looking this way?’
Mincheol’s eyes were looking beyond the clairvoyance, towards Rand’s mask.
The eyes look as if they are looking beyond the screen.
‘That can’t be possible.’
I shook my head from side to side, denying the thoughts that came into my head.
-That’s right, you’re calling. Don’t turn your head.
“W-What?!”
Rand was so shocked that he screamed.
As soon as I thought it was a ridiculous imagination, I immediately denied it.
-we. Don’t you have something to talk about?
Mincheol’s face reflected on the screen.
Although his mouth was smiling, his eyes were cold.
