Chapter 374 – #100. 6th Floor (1).

#100. 6th floor.

Dahee Yoo is sleeping soundly.
He must be rolling in his ordeal, but on the outside it looks like he’s sleeping.

“…”

I sat next to Yu Da-hee and waited for her to wake up.
You will open your eyes soon.
Because the ratio of inside and outside time is different.

My predictions were right.
Dahee Yoo opened her eyes.

Six stars floated over Yu Da-hee’s bedside.
As expected, of course, the awakening was successful.

He didn’t eat it raw like I did, but he overcame it himself.
It shouldn’t have been a normal difficulty, but I think it’s great.

“It’s Dahee.”

Dahee Yoo slowly opens her eyes and looks at me.
Eyes that look sleepy, as if they were not awake.

Did you see it in a few days?
Laughter leaked out without me knowing.

“Kim Jinwoo…”
“It’s Dahee.”

He quietly grabbed Yu Da-hee’s hand.
It’s a dainty size compared to my hand, and fits comfortably in one hand.
Fingers are intertwined.

Dahee Yoo opened her eyes with a twinkle, and made an uneasy expression.
Eyes full of doubt.

“… What did you do wrong?”
“Uh?”
“Why is this suddenly? Feel it.”
“…”
“Well, not bad, but… If you’ve done something wrong, tell the truth. I will see you.”

Dahee Yoo smiled satisfactorily and did not loosen her hands.
It was nice to see him smiling.

“How was the ordeal? Did you pass?”
“Of course.”

In response to Dahee Yoo’s question, I said confidently.
I got a free pass due to the intervention of ‘God’, but what about it?

Already, this world is returning to a structure that has no choice but to collapse without me.
There is no one to say anything even if they condescend.
Even that ‘god’.

“It wouldn’t have been easy, but I’m glad. What about Aicilia?”
“… I couldn’t.”

Isilia did not even see the ordeal.
It was because the ordeal was completely canceled because of me intervening in the middle.

“It’s actually more difficult than the 3rd floor, so I can’t help it.”

Yu Da-hee was not very heartbroken.
I am the one who must pass the ordeal.
Now that I’ve awakened, the rest doesn’t matter anyway.

Going up to the 10th floor is me, Yoo Da-hee, going up there is the best.
The rest will only die once if you come up accordingly.

“Would you like to grab the Demon King and go up? Or should I fix it and come back?”

Dahee Yoo pulled out the holy sword.
Most of the weapons given to those who have passed the ordeal are jars of grievances kept in the inventory.
It was a natural treatment because there were many better weapons if you went upstairs.

“Let’s find Orihime and go upstairs.”

For a taste, I plan to take a look around the 6th floor and return.
As long as Dahee Yoo is there, being on the 6th or 7th floor won’t be meaningful.

“… Do you take monsters with you now?”

Dahee Yoo laughed.
Looking at the chimera, I shook my head as if it was absurd.

“Awesome.”

I left behind Dahee Yu’s words and found Orihime.
Unfortunately, Orihime couldn’t pass the ordeal either.

Orihime sat in a daze in front of her holy sword.

Trials that require mental overcoming are much more difficult than normal trials.
It was not easy even for those who passed the 3rd floor ordeal.

Orihime found me and slowly got up.
As she staggered, she came over and took me in her arms.

Since Orihime’s body is bigger, her drawing was a bit odd.

“Western… Failed, I did…”
“I can’t help it. It’s strange to go through it all at once.”

Awakenings that require battles such as elite monster raids are likely to die because of awakenings.
You may die trying to catch an elite monster, so the difficulty level is naturally lowered.

On the other hand, there is no worry about death in mental awakening ordeals.
Mentally, I’ll be exhausted, but I won’t die.

In a way, it was only natural that a certain amount of correction was made for the two methods.

“There is no need to cling to awakening unconditionally. You can return, so overflowing is time.”

Orihime’s shoulders droop.
Even soothing it didn’t do much good.
She seemed disappointed in herself.

Shall I pat her on the shoulder?
She just patted her ass.
Orihime’s face flushed red, and she felt better.

“At the top, the Demon King is waiting. You can get a holy sword after completing the awakening ordeal, right? They said it would be much easier to catch with that.”

Dahee Yu leads the way up.
After passing through the dark stairs and space, we arrived at the top of the castle.

The Demon King is sitting on the throne.
This time, it’s not a female demon king, but a male demon king.
It reminds me of Sartia whom I met in the ordeal.
She tried to punish her one last time, but it’s a pity that she couldn’t.

—Why do foolish mortals come to give up their lives?

The demon king rose from his throne and greeted the challengers.
A purple magic circle unfolds, and dark red lightning flows along the floor.

– Do you want to burn to death like a moth? The desire to kindle an off-topic spark, leave it here. I will kill you however you want.

The range of the demon lord’s spells widens.
His thunderbolt jumped out viciously.
The moment you touch it, you will receive fatal damage.

“Let’s see how well it works.”

Back to the ‘Tower of Struggle’.
It is necessary to restore the sensitivity of the ordeal world, where you used to believe only in divinity and shoot incomparableness.

Infused divine power into the holy sword.
Resonating with magical power, the holy sword organized strong energy on its own.

‘It raises the level a notch.’

At the end of the sword, borrowed the power of the holy sword and pulled out the strong force.
Compared to the real river, it’s dull, but it’s better than black.

“Jinwoo, are you going to try it?”
“As much as possible, I’ll try first.”
“Yes. As long as you don’t get hurt… Don’t overdo it.”

Dahee Yu took a step back.
I stepped into the demon lord’s spell.
I felt a crushing pressure.

Quadd deuk-!
Thunderbolt crawls across the floor like a snake.
I blocked the electric shock that was aiming at me with divine power.

Jiji Jijijit-.

It collides with the realm created by divinity.
Sparks flew like a clash between a spear and a shield.

‘It’s pretty heavy.’

The Demon King’s attack was heavier than expected.
The blow transmitted through the divinity was quite good.

She was several times higher than the demon lord in the ordeal, Sartia.
The Demon King must have been calibrated by the ‘Tower of Struggle’.

‘It’s not like I can’t win?’

The demon king who uses demonic powers and me who embraces divinity are completely at odds.
I can see it as a favorable environment for a while.

─Are you a priest who believes in God or something? I won’t tear you apart even more painfully. You will sleep in a constant hell of torment until you betray your god.
“What.”

The dark red thunderbolt began to take on its own form.
Thunder Spirit Wolf.

─ Go.

At the command of the Demon King, the wolves of Thunder Spirit rushed at me,
Showing great speed, it blew my eyesight away.

Concentrate your magic on sight.
Only then can we observe them.

Kwang, Kwang-!

A thunder-spirited wolf that jumps almost as if flying.
It opens its mouth and tries to bite me.

I swung the holy sword at the wolf.
Since it was covered with strong energy, it was able to easily cut down most monsters.

Puppy-!

The wolf was hit by the river and scattered.
Since it was composed of thunderbolt, it was absorbed into the spell again.

Kwang, Kwang-!

However, wolves continued to be created.
Destroying them one by one, they approached the Demon King.

Occasionally, I show my divinity and give you a taste of your eyes.

—What an unpleasant glow. I will take the price well.
‘The effect is certain.’

The demon king who was hit by the flash frowned.
Since dealing with Magi, it shouldn’t be unpleasant at all.

Break-!

He beat the wolves like dogs on a dog’s day.

The holy sword assists the sword technique, so much mana was saved.
Efficiency has improved, so I was able to strengthen other parts.

It was possible to have an equal battle with the Demon King.

─ It’s just a struggle. There’s no way he can beat me, the king of demons, even though he believes in God.

Demon King consists of a total of 3 phases.
In the original work, So Da-hee distinguished the steps when raiding the demon king.

The 1st phase summons the thunder wolf, and the 2nd phase summons the demonic sword.
I mean close combat…

‘So Da-hee has tried many times.’

It always has been.
As he died, he continued to challenge.
I didn’t give up until I reached the 10th floor.

In the end, it ends with conquering the ‘Tower of Struggle’.

─ Don’t deal with me directly. Bugs.

The Demon King came to the fore.
I breathed demonic energy into the demonic sword.

Ganggi.
The Demon King has also reached a level where he knows how to change strength.
It is set up like that.

Of course, strong qi does not prove absolute strength.
As a demon lord, he is weak against priests, so if you organize your party appropriately, you can pass the difficulty enough.

However, the ‘Tower of Struggle’ says.
From now on, I will weed out those who do not fit the level.
You are here

Quaang-!

The rivers collided with each other.
A sword made of black demonic energy, a brilliant and holy sword.
The two rivers ate each other.
And it exploded in protest.

‘It’s pushed.’

Exchanged a sum.
My hands were trembling.
The palms were swollen red.

It wasn’t really strong, so I was pushed back by the demon king.

Chizuzuk-.

He infused his magic once again.
The holy sword resonated with my intention and created strong energy.

Try to grow by bumping into each other as much as possible.
Even in preparation for the 6th floor, you can’t just look at it without thinking.

‘The Sealed Sword of Light…’

He gathered divinities and passed them on.
In other words, it was judged that there would be a time when it was necessary.

I don’t know yet whether the light-sealing sword will be directed to ‘God’ or to whom.
You must have the right skills.

Even if you can’t win, you need to be equal.

─ Next is your neck.

The Demon King threatened me with a sword pointed at me.
The roaring demonic flame, I did not back down even in front of the demon king.

He bit and hung until his divinity was empty.
When there was a wound, he took care of it.
Rolled and rolled again.

─ The ugly struggle is now over.

I couldn’t defeat the demon king.
Can’t beat my level.

It was a natural result.

Squeak-.

A sword cuts the demon king’s throat and passes by.
Dahee Yu cut it without hesitation.

There is no need for me to defeat the Demon King.

“You worked hard, Kim Jinwoo.”

Yu Da-hee looked at me and smiled proudly.

‘… Why are you looking at me with pity?’

But my eyes showed a different emotion.
