Insanely-Talented Player

Chapter 81



Episode 81:

When I left the Tower of the Heavenly Demon, I was at the top of the Hokuryu Fortress. Stars were embroidered along the night sky, but even they were obscured by gray air pollution.

“Wow, it’s the night sky...

And then I heard a voice from behind me. When Yoosung turned his head, the little guide was there looking up at the night sky. From the looks of it, it seems that the black man led him to this place.

“Is this your first time seeing the night sky?”

“It’s my first time seeing you this close.”

“Hmm, I see.”

Yooseong stopped walking without turning back.

“Then let’s take a closer look.”

“...I didn’t become a player in the end.”

“The blood hasn’t even dried on my head yet. How can it be that easy?”

“It’s okay, I didn’t have much expectations to begin with and I received a generous tip.”

The little boy responded to Yoosung’s words with a bitter smile. Looking at that image, I thought of Yooseong.

The acts this child will commit in the future to escape this gutter. Even if you stop being a guide now, you will soon join a criminal organization and perform all kinds of dirty work for them.

However, just because the situation of a stray cat is pitiful, it is impossible to collect all of it every time you encounter it, the same goes for people.

You can be the king of heroes, but you cannot be the Messiah. Yoosung also knew that fact.

So I thought of what he could do.

“You said your younger brother was sick, right?”

“Uh, yeah.”

“Never show or talk about it to others, but feed it to your younger brother.”

“...

Immediately after, light swirled around and a flask bottle appeared in Yoosung’s hand, and he handed it over and said. The benefits that the world of TOP has given to the world. However, not everyone in the world can benefit from it.

“Thank you, brother.”

“Finally, let’s ask your name.”

“Soma (small horse). “What about your brother?”

Yooseong answered Soma’s question.

“Hero King.”

When I returned through the portal opened by the members of the International Player Police Organization, I found myself in the downtown area of Seoul.

The ability to open a portal and appear unexpectedly anywhere in the world. It is the power of CIPO, an organization collaborating with the Apostle of the Lord Guide, whose identity is shrouded in mystery, and the Player Mistress, whose true intentions are unknown.

Leaving the Hokuryong Fortress behind, the bright lights of downtown Seoul were scattering five-colored lights.

Nevertheless, this country will not be an exception. Even now, homeless people on the streets of shantytowns are springing up everywhere. Hidden behind the cheap lights of the blinking lights, there was their own Hokuryong Fortress.

You can be the king of heroes, but you cannot be the Messiah. You can protect the world, but you cannot save it. This world has been terrible so far and will continue to be terrible.

That's why Yooseong muttered bitterly.

“Hoo Lord. “Please save those bastards.”

〈List of unclaimed compensation〉

. Command skill card pack (Hero level or higher)

Command skill card pack (normal grade or higher

) Attribute Skill Card Pack (Rare grade or higher)

- Artifact Box (Hero grade or higher)

(omitted) After attacking the Devil's Tower of Evil Charisma, I looked through the unclaimed rewards. Then, we conquered the Tower of Heavenly Demon, the labyrinth of the Black Dragon Fortress, and examined the new powers and curses given.

The curse of scales.

The negative keyword ‘balance's weight' given to the target of the curse limits the power of the meteor, and conversely, the player who fights the meteor

can receive ‘balance's privilege' and receive various effects.

Simply put, it is a kind of forced correction system. At the same time, it would mean that Yoosung possesses power beyond the standard to the extent that a balance patch must be made.

Also, you can use the Ex rank's divine protection, ‘Keyword Breaker', to temporarily nullify the curse of the scales. Moreover, the monarchs will never be unaware of this fact. Perhaps even that is within the expected range.

‘Well, it's nothing to think about now.'

After shaking his head, Yoosung opened his mouth.

“Unclaimed compensation opened in bulk.”

For the first time, I opened a hero level or higher command skill card.

[wow! Hero card!]

[Hero skill card 《Hundred Ghosts Night Journey (Demand)》 has been acquired!]

Next, a batch of command cards of average or higher grade were opened, and cards that were no better than raising a corpse poured out.

Lastly, attribute card packs rare or higher were designated as necromantic attributes and opened.

Immediately afterwards, a halo of golden light swirled around.

A hook symbol appeared above Yoosung’s head.

[Wawi Legendary Card!]

[Acquired the Legendary Skill Card 《Dance of Death (Death Barrier)〞!]

“Wow, this is hot.”

Following the two Oculus tombs, the third

legendary skill card

[Hero grade artifact 《War Banner⑶ar Banner》 has been acquired!]

“It’s time to replace the artifact as well.”

After muttering, Yooseong glanced at the deck page and settings.

There was no reason to hesitate.

1《War Banner》 Just as the

shooting star conquered the labyrinth of the War Dragon Fortress, the 《Endless Labyrinth》 began in earnest. Games with new rules that fit the name of the season began to appear.

Players fight each other in the form of a labyrinth race, or ‘labyrinth planners and strategists' fight on defense within a single labyrinth. form.

[《Underground Bunker Labyrinth》Strategy 3] Begins!]

[Player —— is set as the ‘Labyrinth Planner'!]

[Strategy Goal: The Labyrinth Planner can win by blocking and defeating the strategy of the conqueror! ]

The player there also received the call of the labyrinth and began desperately laying traps and placing monsters as a labyrinth planner.

[Armor golems for facility defense are deployed!] IT-23 type automatic turrets...]

[Intruder-annihilating active defense system...]

As the name of the underground bunker suggests, various UAVs and automatic turrets are installed and cultivated with joy. I looked at his work.

As a labyrinth planner, I have already defeated players on the raider side several times, and each time, I have steadily accumulated know-how.

Furthermore, each time you successfully block an attack, new abilities began to be unlocked as a ‘labyrinth planner' and various special abilities could be used without any addition or subtraction.

Therefore, the fight in this underground bunker labyrinth will be no different. Before you even get here, you will be defeated if you cannot break through the labyrinth's turret field. Just like the rest of the players have done so far.

It should have been so.

The man was there.

A unit of dead men, each one of whom is comparable to a death knight or higher-level dead man. And that too by leading the army of Deathfrost, which is imbued with the bitter cold.

Furthermore, there were ghosts swirling around the area, like in a horror movie, without even a single bone.

Specter A ghost chaser.

It was literally a night tour of a hundred ghosts, and the king of the immortals, who was leading the march of the dead, was there.

“Mu grave keeper...?!”

Because its body is tightly wrapped in jet-black heavy armor, its face cannot be seen. However, there would not be that many players capable of performing this level of necromancy. The player asked back in astonishment, and the King of the Immortals answered.

“My brother is here.”

And there was no way I could not recognize the intimidation of that voice.

“Woah King of Heroes...!”

“Give me 10 seconds. “I’ll kill you painlessly, so hit me on the head.”

“Ah ah okay, I surrender, I surrender!”

But that was right then.

Quang!

Even faster than that, a barrage of embers came down.

— Intruder detection Intruder detection. Start maneuver. Extermination mode transition.

The armored weapons in the facility, which were supposed to perform the last bastion mission, let out mechanical sounds all at once, and all kinds of missiles and guns whizzed towards the dead.

Nemesis, an active defense system that destroys intruders, activated, and the player's expression became contemplative and froze.

And the cold of winter swallowed up the hellfire that was supposed to rage endlessly.

Under fire, the Death Knights advanced, forming defensive formations with cold armor and shields, and ghost chasers surged through the sky, devouring attack aircraft.

Specters rushed in like eagles, swinging their ghostly blades, and before we knew it, the Musketeers of Death were firing a barrage of bullets imbued with the Frost Lord's magic.

The defense system was devastated and the entire underground bunker was neutralized.

“Whoa, the back of my head is really tingling.”

In it, the King of Heroes appeared, armed with the heavy armor of an immortal great emperor.

“Oh no, it’s wrong!”

It's as they say. There is nothing that can be done about the hero king of the world with nothing more than a piece of scrap metal. The player was not unaware of that fact. Nevertheless, in the eyes of the machines, the intruder was nothing more than an intruder. Even if he were the King of Heroes, he would be no exception.

[Player 1 will be given the privilege of Keyword: Balance!]

[The protection 《Perfect Balance (Ex)》 will be applied!]

[Attack power accuracy correction... (omitted) will increase significantly!]

Immediately after, an unknown character appears. An unknown power surged along with the buff. It was a buff that was incomparable to anything we had seen so far. In fact, it is a power comparable to the buff given by a saint among the ten heroes.

Still, nothing changed.

I could tell because he was also a player whose name was on the ranking board. Just because the king of monster heroes gave him this buff doesn't mean he can't do anything about it.

A ranker among rankers and a hero among heroes. The pinnacle of a player reaching the top of the heavenly world. Because that was the player in front of him, Kang Yu-seong.

“Really, the attack just now wasn’t my will!”

“Then did Go Yang do it?”

“No, I mean.....

“Hey, there’s really nothing that cats these days can’t do. right? They leave hateful comments and shoot turrets in bunkers... It looks like cats are going to rule the Earth.”

The King of Heroes sneered and the player begged in resignation.

“Please kill me gently...

Immediately after, a cat stuck its head out from under the shadow of the King of Heroes.

Smirk.

The corner of the cat's mouth was grotesquely torn like a crescent moon, and that was the last sight the player could remember in the labyrinth of the underground bunker.

[You have cleared the Labyrinth of the Underground Bunker!] [As a clear reward

,

you have obtained a random skill card pack

“Hmm, I can feel the sensibility of the classic gangster Nek.”

And Yooseong muttered as he counted the army of death frost and the ghosts of a hundred ghosts walking around him.

There was no need to even lift a finger.

Artifact War Flag Reign of the Immortal King (S) Through the armor of the Immortal Emperor, each and every one of them was reborn as a high-ranking dead person several levels higher.

And that was right then.

[The mechanical key of unknown purpose] is calling out to the player

Kang Yoo-seong!] [Would you like to enter the 1st tier ‘Tower of Dystopia’? Y/N]

The tower of dystopia. Even the tier is unknown. Yooseong took a deep breath. Entering a tower with an unknown tier was considered an act of suicide among players.

Nevertheless, there was no reason to hesitate, as there has been up until now.

It was just something that would come, and that's why Yoosung opened his mouth.

“I will enter the tower.”
