275. Iron-Blooded Lord (3)
“The special contract ordeal < Hope of the Depths: Iron-Blooded Lord > begins.”
“Time remaining – 1 year”
“Order breakthrough condition – within the remaining time, the destruction of the world by the godhead must be prevented. Things?
?Trial Failure Conditions – Challenger’s Death or Remaining Time End?
?Trial Breakthrough Reward – ?The reward level will be determined by the Sangvis Lord’s Appraisal?
?Trial Failure Penalty – Death?
In the blink of an eye, in sight Everything that comes in has changed.
The moment when a force that is not even allowed to measure the depth swallows the body.
I was able to notice that I had entered a black space where there was nothing.
I had to admire him, feeling breathless.
‘Is this the power of the tower…’
It was worth it.
Even though he had reached the level of godhood, he couldn’t deny the tower’s power…
Now he could see how alien the tower was to the gods.
It seemed like he could understand why so many deities hated the tower but couldn’t get rid of it.
‘Did the Tower have enough to say that it would kill all the gods?’
The Tower of Trials had powers outside of the standard.
Perhaps even an ancient deity would be close to impossible to deal with the tower.
That is why even the dark gods and demons could not destroy the tower.
But he knew that the tower was at least good enough to respect the ancient deity.
If so, there was no answer at all.
‘The gap with the tower is immeasurable, but it’s not a level that can’t be reached forever.’
When you reach the level of an ancient deity, you will know the power of the tower.
That too is very certain.
At least, looking at the way the ancient gods dealt with the tower, this was no different from what was decided.
So even though the road was long, I couldn’t say that I couldn’t see the end.
It’s power anyway, because it builds up over time.
‘I think I need to grow faster.’
I felt a strong craving for power from him and soon came to my senses.
It was worth it.
Color began to return to a world dotted with black.
As time passed and the scene became brighter, I suddenly thought of the iron-blooded lord.
‘…Come to think of it, I didn’t even have time to say goodbye to the iron-blooded lord.’
I came here to fulfill her longing, but it’s a pity that I couldn’t say goodbye.
‘Still, I was going to say goodbye…’
But it was only for a moment that I felt so regretful.
?The world creation of the Special Contract Ordeal < Deep Depth: Iron-Blooded Lord > has been completed.?
Soon after, the system message that the world creation was completed appeared.
In an instant, all the equipment worn on the body lost its color and faded, then disappeared.
As if I couldn’t take the items with me from now on.
In fact…
?Some equipment is restricted from being worn and sent to the inventory.?
?Challenger Han Seong-yoon has stats that are not suitable for the specificity of the ordeal.?
?All stats are fixed at 700 each, which is at the end of the ordeal. It does not change until .”
??However, a temporary increase in stats is applied, not a permanent increase in stats.? ?
?However, growth-type abilities acquired within the ordeal will be recalculated after the ordeal is over.?
As soon as you see the system message I knew this was some kind of penalty.
‘Restrictions on wearing equipment.’
One of the limitations that I experienced once while climbing the tower.
However, if there is a difference from the limitations experienced before, it is probably that the level of penalty is different.
All of the items I had obtained through countless experiences so far disappeared.
That too without missing a single thing.
Not even that.
‘Not only equipment, but all stats are fixed at 700.’
All of a sudden, the level of all abilities dropped significantly.
Roughly speaking, it is about half of the ability level of the normal state.
That’s why I felt a tremendous sense of exhaustion dwelling in my body, and I squinted my eyes.
‘It’s not a very pleasant feeling.’
It was worth it.
Because all of a sudden, all the stats went down to half or less.
Perhaps, if he had descended below this level, his body would have exploded without being able to handle the divinity in his heart or the amount of magic power inherent in his magic circuit.
In a word, it meant that all abilities were set to the minimum value.
‘Then, is it an ordeal to the extent that I have to lower all my abilities?’
And…
?Role selection complete.?
?Contender Han Seong-yoon is assigned the role of < Ten Seals > of the Northern Front.?
?Proceed through the trials in order to satisfy the clear conditions of the ordeal.?
The next moment.
“This…”
I couldn’t help but frown as soon as the world fully regained its light.
It was worth it.
It was not enough to start in a shabby military barracks all of a sudden, and the clothes he was wearing changed.
It’s nothing else…
?You achieved the achievement ‘Enlist in the Imperial Army’?
?Your physical strength increases by 1?
“What the hell is this?”
Before I knew it, I was dressed like a soldier.
***
I laughed out loud at the sudden change of clothes and the accomplishment of the achievement.
“….”
and was able to recall the system message that popped up earlier.
?The cast has been selected.
?Challenger Han Seong-yoon is assigned the role of < Ten Seal > in the Northern Front.
?Proceed through the trials in order to satisfy the clear conditions of the trials.
‘I guess this is what I said when I selected the role.’
I never thought that the role of the soldier in the ordeal of the secret
wish would be a soldier.
But there was no time to relax like that.
Suddenly, the sound of a bell announcing the start of the ordeal came from outside.
Ding Ding Ding Ding—!
As soon as I left the shabby barracks, I heard a voice spreading through magic.
-It’s a surprise attack! Foolish servants of evil spirits have appeared! Assemble all battle formations and gather!
A voice as if it were a very precarious situation.
I could grasp the information right away from that resounding voice.
It’s nothing different, this place is like an army as I thought, and it’s currently struggling against the evil spirits.
That’s why I quickly figured out what to do.
‘First of all, I’m telling you to get rid of the servants of the evil spirits that invade this place.’
It was simple.
Even if there are restrictions on items and abilities, solving the situation is not that difficult.
It was worth it.
The power I’ve gained so far isn’t enough to shake.
But that didn’t make everything feel easy.
“I heard that the reward for trials changes according to the Iron Blood Lord’s feelings.”
The condition for clearing the ordeal is to defeat the evil spirit and prevent the destruction of the world.
However, the reference point for the level of the ordeal reward was a little far from the clearing of the ordeal.
After all, the reward for the trial is determined by how the iron-blooded lord feels.
Then, first of all, he had to find out if the iron-blooded lord was recreated here, and if so, what position he had.
That way, you’ll be able to build a liking for the Iron Blood Lord.
‘Even if it’s not like that, there’s a place where people gather, so if you go there, you’ll get a rough idea of the situation.’
And…
“It was as I thought.”
The moment you reach your destination along the moving route of people caught in the mood.
Before I knew it, I could see a silver-haired beauty standing in the lead.
It’s also very familiar.
It must have been.
“Listen, gentlemen!”
Iron Blood Lord.
“You are the ones who have been blessed by the Empire! So don’t be afraid of the zealots who serve the ugly god!”
The challenger who once climbed the tower, and now the manager who signed a contract with me…
“Go ahead and annihilate all enemies!”
It was reproduced here as before becoming a challenger for the tower.
***
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
In the blink of an eye, the morale of the soldiers soared, and cheers were heard.
In an instant, the unstable emotions of the soldiers changed according to the flow.
It’s as if the sound of the song is getting rid of the noise by raising the sound.
It was actually a similar principle.
‘At least until the odds are gone, the noise won’t be that big.’
But it wasn’t very interesting.
It’s because the level of those gathered here is not high anyway.
The variance between each individual is also large, and if you look at it occasionally, some people are presumed to have been forcibly conscripted.
Still, if I were to roughly measure the average, I’d have to say it’s slightly better than the average person.
‘It’s not a useful level.’
In fact, I could read that sign in the iron blooded lord who stood in the lead.
Is it because of how he looked before he became the chosen challenger to the tower?
The iron-blooded monarch, whose youthful appearance was greatly emphasized, was shaking his emotions.
Even that, a little bit of emotion was leaking from his face.
It just seems unshakable because there is no one who can read the emotions displayed on that face.
‘I can see why this is the iron blooded lord’s secret wish.’
It will probably beat the Empire’s armies unless the enemy is quite the idiot.
It was worth it.
Those who received the power of the godhead must at least be on a level comparable to the tower’s challengers.
No matter how well you plan your formation and strategy, it is meaningless in the face of overwhelming power.
“…”
Perhaps in the original world, the Iron Blood Lord would have been greatly defeated.
And somehow, at the end of surviving, I will become a challenger to the tower.
I’m guessing the iron blooded lord wanted to change that past.
Then all you had to do was do what you wanted.
It was then.
“Chief Ten!”
Suddenly, a red-haired man was startled and ran quickly.
Could it be that it has something to do with the cast assigned to the ordeal?
It looks like what are you doing here.
Looking at him, I frowned and said as if asking.
“Chief of the Ten?”
“…yes! Chief ten! You are the Ron Ten Commander! Why are you still here!?”
“Is Ron the name of the Ten Seal?”
“…yes? No, something like that… Ha ha. There’s no time for such pranks right now. Really.”
It’s not a joke if
I have to argue, but I’m serious .
After thinking that, I turned my gaze to him and briefly asked what I needed to ask.
“Is there something I have to do as the decree?”
To be honest, this is what I was most curious about.
“…isn’t it natural? We are a group assigned to the back, not the front. So why don’t we go to the rear now?”
“What if I go to the rear?”
“…then the Ten Seal will be punished for breaking the military law. The current war situation is dire, so it could be ruled with the death penalty.”
“Then what if I annihilate all the enemies in front?”
“…Now I can’t really go along with the jokes—.”
“It would be nice if you could answer the question.”
The red-haired man scratched his head, showing irritation, then sighed in reply.
“… Mr. Ha. Perhaps then the Ten Seals will be promoted saying that credit is greater than sin. That’s it.”
“To some extent.”
“If the curiosity is resolved, the battle will begin soon, so we have to go to the rear now—”
“Then there is no need to go to the rear.”
And after hearing all of his words, I immediately turned around.
It was worth it.
Since he said that he would not be punished if he scored a goal even if he did not have to go to the rear anyway…
Rather, he thought of going through the trials with a sense of speed without wasting time.
?The Authority skill ‘Starlight’ is activated and a starlight containing divine < death > is created.
?
very quickly too.
