A shaman goblin could be seen through the glowing magic circle.
He activated the magic circle by sacrificing his dead companions.
And that was the signal that signaled the true beginning of the final stage.
âCursed Goblin Champion!â
Do-hyun shouted his name inwardly.
That was the reason why Jo Ja-hyun and Dan Eun-seol had to struggle in the last stage.
âIt would consume a lot of stamina just to come this far while competing fiercely for the record with three people, but of course you will fail because you have to kill that monster in the end.â
It was a stage that could not be attacked by common sense.
Jo Ja-hyun and Dan Eun-seol were geniuses enough to be called monsters.
Therefore, it was a public evaluation that only skilled players could deal with it.
On the other hand, what about the cursed goblin champion?
Goblin champions are inherently difficult to deal with.
Therefore, it was a public opinion that only experienced players could face it.
But not only that, it was an individual that was strengthened by sacrificing the blood of its own people.
It is a monster that will be difficult to deal with even with perfect stamina.
Are you dealing with such a monster when your health is low?
It was an inevitable battle.
In fact, in the original, even Jo Ja-hyun had to retry several times.
âHa, Iâm too tired if I come all the way here.â
âWhoa.â
In fact, Jo Ja-hyun and Dan Eun-seol looked very tired.
In fact, it must have been more difficult than before.
It was difficult to see that Dohyun did his part properly because he did not do his best.
And this was also the opportunity that Do-hyeon was aiming for.
âPark Yu-myeong only improved his ranking by one level with this.â
That was Park Yoo-myungâs limit.
He was 3rd in his later years here, so he couldnât even think beyond that.
Of course, his attempts were unsuccessful.
This is because Dan Eun-seol narrowly succeeded in defending second place.
Nevertheless, he was able to get the 3rd place reward from the tower thanks to the behavior he showed in the last stage.
It was the title of âpersevering marathonerâ.
It became the cornerstone for Park Yoo-myung to become stronger.
It was thanks to that title that he was given the nickname of Skill Reaver.
However, Dohyun had no intention of remaining only in third place.
As long as Iâve come this far, I couldnât be satisfied with just one title.
âIs it vain or greed? Weâll see for ourselves.â
Do-hyeon grimaced at Dan Eun-seolâs words and gripped the sword.
*
It happened suddenly.
Something beyond common sense was engraved on Jo Ja-hyunâs eyes.
Jo Ja-hyun has a natural talent, and no matter what he does, he always achieves results that exceed his efforts.
So he was able to get ahead of others and stand above others.
Heâs never been out of competition.
It was the same in this Tower of Trials.
It was a tough ordeal that he couldnât break with just one or two attempts, but he was convinced that in the end he would be the one to win.
It wasnât a matter of whether he attacked the Tower of Trials or not.
It was just a matter of when to attack the Tower of Trials.
However, for the first time in his life, he saw the one who overtaken him.
Clearly, the person who was only in third place has suddenly narrowed the record with himself.
51 horses.
52 horses.
53.
.
.
.
And finally 62.
Jo Ja-hyun looked at the number recorded on the system window and swallowed dry saliva.
<No.1 Jo Ja-hyeon 63>
<62 Unknown 2nd place>
<61 Dan Eunseol in 3rd place>
An unidentified player defeated Dan Eun-seol.
And he took second place with just one difference from himself.
Jo Ja-hyunâs eyes turned to the side, who was constantly fighting the goblin champion who was cursed in the lead.
This is because the chill that I felt for the first time in my life was transmitted to my cheeks.
It was a player wearing a phantom mask who entered the sideways view.
Pot!
An unidentified player quickly intercepted and killed one of Joâs target goblins.
âNow one⊠⊠.â
And itâs not like heâs muttering like that.
Seeing this, Jo Ja-hyun became conscious of others for the first time.
The glittering eyes in the mask were filled with greed.
The sword he was wielding exuded a cool breeze.
A very unfamiliar word flashed across Jo Ja-hyunâs mind for a moment.
Defeat.
And the word was not in Jo Ja-hyunâs dictionary.
*
âHuff, huff⊠⊠.â
Dohyun let out a rough breath.
At the tip of his sword was the corpse of a cursed goblin champion.
It was an unbelievable result of what he had done.
His stamina was low, and his lungs were panting for oxygen.
All he could do was hold his breath.
âI did it!â
But there was joy in it.
<64 Unknown No. 1>
<63 Jo Ja-hyun, 2nd place>
<61 Dan Eunseol in 3rd place>
Not only did he kill the final boss, but he also beat Jo Ja-hyeon and Dan Eun-seol in the record.
Do-hyun remembered what had happened just a few seconds ago.
It was the moment he killed the cursed goblin champion.
â⊠⊠!â
It was when he was aiming for his neck from behind the cursed goblin champion.
Do-hyon made eye contact with Jo Ja-hyun and Dan Eun-seol, who were in front of the Goblin Champion.
The eyes of the two men running fiercely toward the high ground were intense.
If it had been with that momentum, the two would have had more than enough to occupy the high ground.
However, in the end, it was Do-hyun who cut the supply and demand of the goblin champion.
The moment the sword was swung, green blood spurted from the goblin championâs neck, obscuring the two of them.
In the end, Do-hyun beat them both.
They, who were considered as promising youngsters to entrust to the next generation, stood behind them and themselves at the top.
It gave Do-hyon a sense of accomplishment that cannot be expressed in words.
<You have successfully completed the last ordeal.>
<As a reward for clearing the dungeon, the player will receive a reward that matches each rank.>
<The Tower of Trials rewards you with a title commensurate with the way you overcame the ordeal.>
<You have acquired the title, âRelentless Marathonerâ.>
<The attribute âOriginalâs Luckâ strengthens the title âPersistent Marathonerâ obtained as a reward.>
<You have acquired the enhanced title âThe One Who Runs Longer Than Anyoneâ.>
<You have obtained âMagic Bone Piecesâ as a reward.>
<You have obtained âMagic Stoneâ as a reward.>
<Your level has risen.>
Reward notifications poured in endlessly.
Do-hyeon, who had calmed down his excitement, looked at the reward slowly.
<The one who runs longer than anyone else>
-The previous title, âPersistent Marathonerâ, was strengthened by âOriginalâs Luckâ.
-Hide behind the leader and aim for the second half! Some people evaluate it as cowardly, but it is a specialized strategy for maintaining stamina.
-Decreases the skillâs magic consumption by 10%.
âHas the title been strengthened?â
Do-hyeonâs eyes lit up.
âAnd even the bone fragments are imbued with magic⊠⊠.â
The items given as a reward for completing the dungeon raid were completely random.
So, Dohyun wasnât expecting anything other than the title in the first place.
However, I couldnât help but be surprised to find the reward I needed so much.
<Bone fragments imbued with magic>
Class: Advanced
â A bone fragment of an unknown magical creature.
-Using this bone fragment, you can permanently increase the effect of the title by one level.
âI have to bow down even with the title enhancement, but Iâm sure there will be enhancement items as well.â
Do-hyeon saw a bone fragment in the window of his belongings and closed the window.
A smile naturally formed on his lips.
Just getting a title that can reduce the consumption of horsepower was a significant achievement.
But unexpectedly, the title has been strengthened, and he has also acquired items related to title enhancement.
Even at the time of making the setting, he decided that it would appear with a very rare probability in dungeons with high magical relevance and curses.
But when the rare item arrived at the right time, he was astonished.
But that joy was short-lived.
Dohyun checked his status window once again.
<Player Lee Do-hyun>
Level: 7
Traits: original authorâs luck, original transcendence
Tier: Level 5 Extra
â⊠⊠.â
The hierarchy in his own work was still 5th grade extras.
He wondered if he could be promoted if he broke the Tower of Trials, but he remained silent.
âHow did this hierarchical system come about? After clearing the dungeon, does it still make sense to be extra?â
Cold water poured over the sense of accomplishment that they had beaten Jo Ja-hyun and Dan Eun-seol.
What do you do when you get titles and items?
If youâre unlucky, thereâs a 99% chance that youâll be killed in a major event as an extra.
âha.â
Do-hyun sighed involuntarily.
There was a long way to go.
*
At the moment when the attack on the Tower of Trials was completed, the final ranking of the tower was revealed in the inner square.
Players were astonished by the completely unexpected result.
<#1 Unknown>
<2nd place Jo Ja-hyun>
<3rd place Dan Eun-seol>
.
.
.
<10th place Jeong Seon-chang>
Jo Ja-hyeon and Dan Eun-seol were like high mountains that could never be surpassed by their peers.
However, those beings were defeated by an unknown player.
Is it just a momentary fluke?
Of course, you may think so.
However, there were those who could not get over them even with that luck.
Some of the players bit their lips in defeat.
And some of them enjoyed Jo Ja-hyunâs humiliation and tried to hide their smiles.
The situation was the same outside.
Reporters rushed in as soon as the players came out of the tower as soon as the inside of the tower leaked out.
âI heard that there was a monumental shift in the ranking of the Tower of Trials.
What happened?â
âThe source said the red player attacked the tower, is that true?â
For them, the sudden upheaval could not be more interesting.
When the reporters found the article, they rushed at them with their eyes shining like a flock of seungnyang.
There was even a bet on the towerâs attack.
Most of the people cast their votes against Jo Ja-hyun and Dan Eun-seol.
There was also a saying that the bet odds were low, so it was a one mana bet.
But regardless of the East and West, there was always a bet at stake in the match.
It was just a little fun for people.
But it was completely overturned today.
Because of that player wearing the illusion mask!
Despite the reportersâ questions, the players remained silent.
All of them were considered geniuses among young players.
All of them were races with high self-esteem.
There was no way for them to talk about their defeat.
Will you cry and say that the dogâs bones that came from rolling around took away their food bowls?
Some of them must have been relieved by the humiliation of Jo Ja-hyun, who had been winning and winning.
However, it was not something he could express in front of reporters.
Even the hot-blooded Jeong Seon-chang kept his mouth shut.
Whatever the process, they ended up being losers.
The players each left their seats in a vehicle sent by their own families.
