Insanely-Talented Player
Chapter 59

Episode 59

“Kkeok.”

I stopped by a local 24-hour gimbap restaurant, ordered tuna omelet rice, and went outside to replace that it was already dawn. The so-called ‘weeding operation', which is carried out to gain arena points, is also on track.

The tasks that need to be done until the 8th tier tip is opened are also finished. Since I have built up the number of arena points to a certain extent, if I enter the arena-type tower in Tier 8 in the future, I will have the ability to immediately purchase two or three pieces of arena equipment.

Above all, I obtained key cards with two attributes: Assassination and Poison.

So there was no reason to hesitate.

“Open 2 packs of attribute designation cards. To poison attribute.”

As I walked down the street at night and muttered,

a halo of light swirled around me.

[Wow rare card!]

[I acquired the rare skill card 《Crafting a Toxic Flask》!]

[I acquired the rare skill card 《Plague Chain》!]

“Hey. “At this rate, I will become a debuff master.”

After adjusting the skill settings as a test, Yooseong muttered.

I remember fighting the Plague Lord during the raid in Season 5. When all kinds of extreme poisons are combined with skills in the Blade of the Plague Lord and the Sword of Black Death that Yooseong is currently using, they are amplified and create synergy. That scenery will also be unforgettable.

An absolute power that even the King of Heroes could not do anything about alone. Nevertheless, it was the meteor's blade that ultimately defeated the Plague Lord.

《Toxic Flask Crafting》

- Grade . Rare

- Attribute . Poison

- Ability

. You can arbitrarily craft and possess up to 3 highly toxic, paralyzing, and corrosive poison flasks.

. If you have a separate poison recipe, you can put the poison from that recipe in a flask.

At first glance, it looks ordinary. However, if you use the blessing ‘Plague Lord's 666 Poison Recipes', it was a synergy that dared to aim for a value higher than legendary level.

Just then the bell rang. It was Master Park.

“Oh my, our fearful King Eungae. “Are you selling your conscience in front of your scores and your newbie weeding work going well?”

“Oh, of course. Even my friends from the executive branch helped me out, so it ended quickly.”

“Hi, oh my god. Our saint is respected by people all over the world, but this bastard named Hero King treats him like a newbie...

“That’s right.”

Yoosung shrugged his shoulders like it was no one else's business and that was it.

thud!

The area on the ground I was standing on was distorted and the world stopped. In a still world, the ground cracked and broke apart, and pieces of asphalt that were supposed to be blown away began to float into the air.

At the same time, a message occurred to me.

[Move to the Throne at the End...]

‘Huh?'

And in front of that message, even Yooseong had no choice but to hold his breath.

At the same time, the landscape of the area began to distort.

A landscape of a recognizable form unfolded, even if just for a moment.

It was space.

Stars of all kinds were born, shined and fell, the dark stars voraciously devoured what was inside the horizon, and the birth and death of the universe that should have unfolded over eons of time were regenerated.

Wow

, the place where Yooseong was standing was an indoor scene. When I looked down at the floor, I saw stars blinking as if I was looking down into space on the glass of the Hopsa Space Station.

I looked around.

Countless pillars towered over the area where the shooting star was standing. The pillars spun around in the shape of a screw, rising layer after layer to the top, which I couldn't reach even if I raised my head.

When viewed from the outside, it resembles a single spire.

And there were thrones on every pillar and room of the spire.

Furthermore, it is not my first time setting foot in this place.

- Welcome, King of Heroes.

I heard a voice. There was once again a ‘top' at the place called the throne at the top of the spire, which you couldn't even see no matter how much you raised your head, and it was the voice of the person sitting on top.

The throne at the end and the Absolute who sits atop the spire made up of those thrones.

And before he knew it, there was a man wearing a jet black robe in front of Yooseong.

The shadow beneath the robe is very dark.

“What did you call me here for?”

—As the “Lord of the Game,” this is to apologize to player Kang Yu-seong.

“Hmm, you guys have so many things to apologize to me that it’s hard to remember.”

Yoosung answered calmly, and laughter was heard from the man's shadow.

— When confronting the player Georg, the player had already conquered the tower and was able to receive an exceptional ‘grace' to remain in the world's coordinates. “Oh, that's right.

”

— The player's reprieve itself was only possible because of the consensus of the monarchs who wanted to see a duel with the King of Heroes.

“aha.”

It felt like the puzzle was finally coming together. Just as the deadly sword was about to plunge into the body of the immortal, the immortal lord banished his apostle to the outside world.

“I interrupted the duel and kicked the tomb keeper out.”

— That's exactly what it says. It was a thrilling match, and the monarchs' disappointment was truly enormous.

The lord of the game, a man in robes, laughed.

— However, the Immortal Lord even nullified the rule that your sword cannot kill players in the tower and appealed for consideration of the possibility of killing players. So, as a result, he claimed that his actions were ‘to protect the rules.’

“Maybe it’s because you’ve lived so long, but your tongue is so old.”

Right

at that moment, an unknown shock struck me again. Nevertheless, Yoosung just shrugged his shoulders calmly.

“So there was really a chance that I could kill the player in the tower?”

- It wasn't 0%. And above all, don't you already have the name of ‘Monarch Assassin'?

Yoosung was so surprised at those words that he held his breath.

The Heavenly Demon's Sword that can return everything to meaninglessness. His sword was even able to break the absolute rules that governed the world of the tower.

Because it wasn't a meteor that didn't know the weight of those words

— but it was much closer to 0%. Our ‘Council of Throne' also had to give it quite a bit of thought.

Soon the game master laughed.

- And after careful deliberation, the council's decision was made. Of the nine hundred and ninety-nine monarchs, nine hundred and ninety-nine and five claimed the Immortal Lord's innocence, and four monarchs questioned the Immortal Lord.

“Then why did you call me?”

- Additionally, apart from the nine hundred and ninety-nine monarchs, one Overlord was responsible for being the Immortal Lord.

- Although the act did not amount to dethronement, he will pay the price for his actions as an immortal monarch.

995 monarchs claimed the immortal monarch's innocence, and only 4 monarchs accused him of guilt. Nevertheless, there is one overlord added to it. As a result, the verdict was found to be guilty. Yoosung fell silent under the weight of that name.

— Furthermore, player Kang Yoo-seong will also be provided with the ‘opportunity to receive rewards.’

“It’s not free, it’s an opportunity?”

— Ah, as always, what happens in this game is only up to you.

The Lord of the Game laughed and Yoosung shrugged.

“So what is that opportunity?”

- From now on, player Kang Yu-seong can enter the Tower of the Immortal Lord.

At that moment, the air around the area became cold. All kinds of indescribable forces were pulsing out from all over the throne.

Forces that an average player couldn't even handle rolled around like rough waves, and Yooseong desperately tried to keep his composure.

“Monarch’s Tower...?”

The name of the tower is also not new. It was the same when we defeated this plague lord earlier.

— Then, let the game begin.

However, the Lord of the Game bowed his head before Yoosung had time to say anything.

HAHAHAHA!

From the top of the spire, which I couldn't even dare to look up beyond, the light continued endlessly.

Leaving behind the echoing laughter, the scenery of the area faded away again.

In the collapsing landscape, there was only one thought in Yooseong's mind.

‘Oh, it’s a plague. I haven't even changed the deck settings yet...

[Tower of the Immortal Lord]

[??? Number of players allowed to enter the tier: 1

(player Kang Yoo-seong) Store available]

[Strategy objective: None]

[Special note: If you die in the tower, you will not die and will be exiled to the outside world]

Information about the tower came to mind and I looked around to replace it was empty. It was a desert wasteland.

“home.”

My mind was a mess, but it didn't take long to sort it out. I looked at the deck settings I was equipped with.

This is the 《Frost Assassin》 class setting when fighting the Face Collector.

‘In order to replace the deck within the tower, you must go to the store.'

After thinking, Yoosung looked around. It was right then.

“hey. “It’s here!”

I heard a voice. I looked around at the sound of a voice coming from close by, but there was no sign of him.

“Okay, look down!”

The voice shouted urgently and Yoosung lowered his head.

“Okay, dig under that sand!”

“why me?”

When Yooseong was dumbfounded and asked, his voice answered urgently.

“you you! Are you a player in the Tower of the Immortal Lord?! yes?!”

“Oh, right.”

“Yeah, I’ve seen a lot of players who came in here and died! Or can we say that it is ‘dead’? Hee hee hee! “As you know, it’s very dangerous here, so maybe I can be of some help to you!”

“home.”

Yoosung was silent for a moment and then lightly stepped on the floor. And soon, the frost lord's magic power was used to blow away the sand in the area.

As expected, there was ‘it' below the horizon. A skull shaped like a human head was fluttering with its skull and jawbones moving.

“Are you going to blow my head off?!”

“Hmm, you’re a skeleton bar talking loudly. “It makes me nostalgic for classic RPGs.”

Yooseong picked up the skull bowl and it started fluttering again.

“Hahaha, welcome to a world without death!”

As soon as he heard those words, Yoosung quietly frowned. And I remembered the message I received when I entered the tower.

‘If you die in the tower, you will not die but

will be banished to the outside world.'

And the tower of the immortal monarch of the world without death.

“No, you can’t die, so how can you die and get out?”

[The Clown Lord clutches his stomach and bursts into laughter.]

As expected, the Clown Lord is bursting into laughter again, sending out a message.

“Hey, damn it. “I knew it would be like this.”

Yooseong cursed and roughly draped the skull bar on his waist.

“evil! “Every time it rattles, my head rings!”

“Shall I bury it in the ground again?”

“Oh no, hehe. “I’m so happy to be with you, my partner!”

The skull bar branch hanging on Yoosung’s waist laughed and Yoosung raised his head without saying a word.

It was time to set out on a journey to steal the immortal monarch's treasures and seek death.
