Chapter 47 – Tower of Trials ⑧ 

――Basabbasa…

「It’s so much easier when I can fly! ! !」

――Bahyu!

Approaching Urkin in high-speed flight.

Then, with less than 20 meters of distance remaining between me and Urkin, I noticed something unusual… No, I was made aware of it.

「! ? ! ?」

――Pi…

Spinning to the left, I avoided Urkin’s claw attack. When I stroked my cheek, I felt a scratch on it.

「… that sort of thing…」

Why was Urkin in a physical attack stance? Why did it have such a relaxed expression on its face? And why did I think it couldn’t fly?

Everything was going according to its plan.

It made a sudden brake in midair and came flying towards me again in a triangular jump.

TL. Triangular jump is like a wall jump basically… not sure how you do it on air…

「Aerial combat, then!」

「Gau! !」

――Hyuhhyunggakin! Hyun… !

It attacks randomly from all directions, up and down, back and forth, left and right, at tremendous speed.

I thought it was just going to be physical attacks, but it wasn’t. It also threw the Dark Ball that was floating around earlier at intervals.

――Shupa! … Gashi!

「Gyan! ?」

I avoided the attack and grabbed its tail just as it was coming through with momentum.

「Oryaa! !」

――Dogooon! ! !

「Gyaun! !」

「Not yet!」

――Byun!

「I saw it somewhere――kick! !」

Speeding through the air, I kicked at Urkin’s neck.

――Goooooooon! ! !

「Gya… ! ?」

Suta…

Urkin’s neck was pierced and was in a wounded state. The fact that he is still alive shows that he is indeed worthy of the name “King”.

But it can’t move anymore.

「……」

「… Sorry?」

Three red eyes staring at me in agony. At first it was hostile, but now it was scared out of its wits.

Then, as quickly as I could, I tucked it away in my inventory.

《LV. ☆→☆4》

《Physical Enhancement LV. ☆→☆1》

《Dragon Power LV. 1→2》

《――Cleared the Tower of Trials――》

《――Name: The Gathering Tower of Hell――Total 15 floors――》

《Cleared by: Ayane》

In the middle of my vision, I saw the words “Cleared the Tower of Trials”. I think the name underneath it is the theme of the tower. Because all of the monsters in this tower were labeled with Hell.

And the level has gone up so much. Oh, right, Urkin’s level 75. Of course it’s high…

――Puwaaaan…

As soon as the “Clear” sign disappeared, a blue magic circle appeared in the middle of the rooftop. I wondered if I could get on it to go back…? I approached it fearfully and put my foot on it.

Then a white light filled my vision.

I closed my eyes tightly because of the glare, but when I quickly half-closed my eyes, I saw a luxurious hallway with a red carpet laid straight in front of me.

「I’m back…」

I thought of all the things that had happened and traced my memories. But it was only memories of battles. I smiled bitterly at that.

I went through the gate that brought me into the Tower of Trials, and as I walked out, I saw the Gatekeeper I had fought with on the right side, and I bade him goodbye.

「Oh! You made it back alive! That’s quite a feat. I knew you’d pull it off, since no one else could get in!」

「Thank you very much!」

「I’ll be waiting for your next challenge」

「…… I- I’ll come back when I can…」

I said 『I’ll come back when I can』. which is a common refusal, and left the place.

The level 99 Gatekeeper gave me his seal of approval, and my depressed mood lifted a little.

Ah, but I’ll be in dismantling hell when I get back….

What a mess…

And so Ayane trudged back to Sādin, her spirits still low.
