[Entering Germany Black Tower 88th floor.]
Earth No. 675 Black Tower.
The Summoner has made a procession to catch the Sand Dragon.
First, taking out the Gigant from Rajix's subspace and.
Kkeu-deu-deu-deu-deu-deuk!
Gigant Unit 2, risen up according to El's instructions.
A sword in one hand, a shield in the other.
At the same time, the vast desert spread out in front of the Gigant.
Joo-hyuk and the summoned entities standing behind it.
We already got one scene.
A giant Gigant with sword and shield integrated as one, standing tall stepping on the sand of the desert.
It felt somewhat like watching the intro of a giant robot movie.
"This is exactly the picture we wanted."
Sand Dragon, just wait!
Of course, we're not just proceeding trusting the Gigant alone.
No matter how strong it is, it's an 85th floor monster.
On the other hand, the Sand Dragon is an 88th floor monster.
A difference of 3 stages or more.
If you put the two against each other, it's obvious who will win.
However, how could the Gigant be bare-handed.
A Demonic Sword equipped with the Demonic Dragon's Heart.
A shield equipped with the Dark Heart.
Two things, it wore equipment produced from Dragon Hearts of similar attributes to each other.
No, producing armaments from Dragon Hearts?
Is this even possible?
An unprecedented occurrence across all dimensions.
Mackenzie, El, and Gwangma confirmed it.
"If it's a Dragon Heart, in this old man's world it's tantamount to a cintamani, but producing a weapon out of a cintamani? That would only happen in legends. Speak of the Great Sage Equal to Heaven's Ruyi Jingu Bang." (t/n: Cintamani = wish-fulfilling jewel; Great Sage Equal to Heaven = Sun Wukong; Ruyi Jingu Bang = Sun Wukong's staff)
"In this Magician's world as well, there were no instances of making a weapon out of a Dragon Heart. Because it wasn't a matter of it being precious, but nobody knew how to do it."
"Because researching it is difficult. Whoever even got to touch a Dragon Heart? It's not like the Heart is a mana stone or something."
Among substances holding magic power, the most representative one is the mana stone.
Depending on the grade, it shows a stark difference in the density, quality, and quantity of magic power.
A Dragon Heart also harbors magic power.
Because it's called a heart, a heart, one might think it looks something like an organ, but not at all.
It looks like an uncut gem of a large jewel.
In a way, a Dragon Heart is also like a mana stone.
However, the difference lies in its colossal amount of magic power that cannot even be compared to a Topmost-Grade Mana Stone.
One disadvantage that a Dragon Heart has, however.
The fact that it is difficult to process, just like El said.
To properly draw out the magic power of a Dragon Heart, it must be refined and processed through various procedures but.......
There are almost no people who can do this.
In whatever world, would a person ever chance upon meeting a Dragon in their lifetime?
Let alone a Dragon Heart.
Not even being able to get a look at it is reality.
However, there is one among the summoned entities.
A person who has touched a Dragon Heart.
The shut-in anthropophobic alchemist Alliamari.
The content appearing in her background explanation.
That the Elf Alchemist Alliamari was offered as a sacrifice to the Ancient Black Dragon Cassiurus by her own kind when she was young.
The content that the Ancient Dragon Cassiurus died earlier than Mari, and she remained alone in the lair even after the Dragon died, researching alchemy.
One of the items left behind when the Ancient Dragon Cassiurus died was exactly the Dragon Heart.
It is even that of an Ancient Dragon.
Just how strong and dense of a magic power would it harbor?
So processing the Dragon Heart. To her, it wasn't a very difficult task.
The results of that are exactly the Gigant's sword and shield.
She drew out all the magic power potential of the Dragon Heart.
Of course, was it solely Mari's effort?
The 9th Circle Great Magician Mackenzie and Magical Engineer Dr. El.
Mackenzie strengthened the sword and shield with Enchantment Magic that had now reached a superb level, and El raised the armaments' performance to the limits using magic power circuit diagrams.
The Trinity of the Demonic Engineering Trio.
If the three of them gather, there is no impossibility.
You're saying you still don't understand why this is amazing?
If giving a simple example.
You can consider it as installing miniature nuclear reactors from nuclear submarines onto the sword and shield.
Thus, just like drawing electricity from a nuclear power plant, one can use the formidable magic power of the Dragon Heart indiscriminately without limits.
Additionally, like nuclear radiation, the demonic energy of darkness leaks out continuously from the sword and shield.
It means one is constantly exposed to a horrifying energy that shouldn't even be approached.
Armaments of a cursed demon that one can neither touch nor equip for that reason.
Of course, this is true only for living creatures.
Because it is a non-living Gigant, equipping them is possible.
The Gigant moved its steps and advanced deeper into the desert.
As soon as the mission popped up.
Gigant Unit 2 VS Sub-Dragon Sand Dragon.
The prelude to the battle went up with El's directions.
- Combat preparation instruction, magic power circuit operation, ...Switch On!
The sword blade of the Demonic Sword was overlaid with an extremely dense black sword aura.
Simultaneously, u-u-ung!
A dark red dark aura was also generated on the Shield of Darkness.
Demonic energy and darkness share the same essence.
They just show different effects due to the difference in manifestation methods.
The attribute of the Demonic Dragon's Dragon Heart.
Destruction, violence, cruelty, ruthlessness, oppression.
The attribute of the Dragon Heart eroded by darkness.
Corruption, depravity, pollution, weakening, confusion.
Joo-hyuk's 2nd Gigant.
The sword and shield warrior charged at the Sand Dragon.
Earth No. 675 Black Tower Managers.
[...Why did that punk come again?]
Previously, he had entered the 88th floor, and upon encountering the Sand Dragon, he deleted the entry record and exited but.
At that time, they were relieved.
Ah! So he's finally stopping at the 88th floor.
Yeah, no matter how amazing a punk he is, a Sand Dragon is a no-go.
Among the Black Tower monsters, solely looking at physical abilities, it's arguably at the tower's top level.
Unless he had a nuke, who knows.
However, they patched it so that gunpowder reactions wouldn't occur.
Even thinking about it in every way, there doesn't seem to be any particular method.
The fact that the punk appeared despite that means?
[Does it mean he has a method to clear that Sand Dragon?]
[He came because he has a method, right.]
Did he come to just poke at it?
Or did he succeed in clearing the 88th floor on that side's Earth?
[What is the punk's level?]
Then it means they haven't cleared the 88th floor on that Earth either.
[He seems to be attempting his upper floor climbing here.]
[He should just clear his own Earth's Black Tower.]
[Let's just watch and see how he catches it.]
The hologram video was put up.
While they were whispering among themselves.
A moment later, a colossal object emerged from the subspace backpack.
Was that what he believed in, in the end?
What's he going to do with one Gigant.
If he brought about 100 units simultaneously, there might be a chance of winning though.
[Look at that. The Gigant is holding a sword and weapon.]
[If it has weapons, it seems like things will be differen.......]
Exactly at that moment!
The Gigant's sword was covered covered with black sword aura.
The shield was the same.
[Don't tell me.......]
[It's a Dragon Heart. They equipped a Heart on the weapon. On the shield too.]
[The sword is of a Demonic Dragon, the shield is of an Undead Bone Dragon.]
[How did they do it? Was it something that could be done?]
[It's nearly impossible.]
[But those guys did it.]
[For that to be established, peak technologies in each field must be fully mobilized.]
[Alchemy capable of processing the Heart, Enchantment Magic to strengthen the weapon's main body to withstand the Heart's magic power, and magic power circuit diagrams to transmit energy to every corner of the weapon or shield... uh?]
Looking closely.......
[Th-they have them all.]
[So they possessed all of them.]
The Magician, Alchemist, and Magical Engineer summoned entities, that is.
All of them masters in their respective fields.
That was what the punk believed in.
Ku-kung! Ku-ku-ku-ku-ku-kung! Kung-kung-kung!
The part El poured her heart and soul into the most while modifying Gigant Unit 2 was precisely combat maneuvering.
The existing combat magic power circuit diagram was for unarmed martial arts.
Now that it's equipped with gear, the martial arts magic power circuit diagram had to be modified.
Since it's holding a sword, it should at least mimic it similarly.
To transplant a swordsmanship magic power circuit diagram, the consultation of a swordsman knowledgeable in swordsmanship was needed.
Among the current summoned entities, who uses a sword or knows sword stances?
"I never dreamed my first disciple would be a Gigant, sir."
"Disciple my foot, it's merely inputting a single paltry technique."
"Even so, a disciple is a disciple, sir."
"If you calculate it like that, it's my disciple too. Since the shield arts magic power circuit diagram referenced mine."
Cossack provided help to input the Hartmann Sword Stance into the Gigant, and Bardin took charge of the shield arts.
The massive Sand Dragon soaring up from within the sand.
Its size was slightly larger than the Gigant.
If it were in the past, it would have blindly rushed in, knocked the Gigant over, and attacked to its heart's content but.
The Sand Dragon flinching at the ominous energy manifesting from the sword and shield.
The punk noticed it too.
The energy of the Dragon Heart.
After hesitating like that.
The Sand Dragon spun its body like an arrow and came applying a body slam.
Gigant Unit 2 twisted its left foot sideways, smoothly dodging, and then whacked the Sand Dragon's head with its shield just like that.
"Euing? Look at those body movements! Isn't that Grandpa Gwang's footwork, sir?"
"That is correct. This seat also placed a spoon on it." (t/n: expression for joining in/taking some credit)
"I mean, how many masters does that kid have?"
"The Warrior had nothing to teach."
"Of course you don't. Gobang, your character overlaps with the Gigant."
"Therefore the Warrior is depressed."
"Don't worry. That punk's fuel efficiency is too high, so it can't be used frequently."
"That's right, sir. If you operate the Gigant recklessly, the household will be ruined, sir. Isn't a few pieces of beef enough for our Gobang, sir."
"Isn't it that the Gigant itself isn't what's strong, but the weapons produced with dual Dragon Hearts are horrifying. Weapons that even we can't hold, I say."
The Demonic Sword of black sword aura.
The Shield of Dark Aura.
All sorts of impure energies.
Just because it's a monster, wouldn't it be affected?
Just approaching it leaves it with no choice but to be affected.
Unconditionally, if it's a living creature.
Perhaps due to that, the Sand Dragon also showed reactions of flinching and halting whenever the shield was raised.
At that sight, the summoned entities nodded their heads.
The estimate was drawn from the very first clash.
"It will overwhelm it."
"You can be at ease."
"The Sand Goby punk is a total pushover, sir."
"Let's finish it quickly."
As the battle progressed, the difference in strength became stark.
Perhaps the Sand Dragon felt it too, it dug into the sand and tried to run away and.
However, Gigant Unit 2 did not permit the punk to escape into the sand either.
Grabbed its tail and forcibly dragged it out and.
"...Ku, ku-e-e-e-ek!"
Peo-eok! Peok! Peok-peok-peok-peok!
Blocked the resisting Sand Dragon's attacks with the shield, while even counterattacking simultaneously.
Every time it did so, the punk's movements were gradually slowing down.
The curse of the dark aura was slowly gnawing away at the punk's flesh.
What if there was no shield?
It probably couldn't have driven it into a corner this much.
"The effect of the shield is sufficient and."
What about the Demonic Sword?
"I will finish it once an opportunity arises."
El issued combat directions to the Gigant.
Gigant Unit 2 tightly gripping the 60m greatsword with one hand.
After swatting the head of the Sand Dragon trying to bite with its sharp teeth away with the shield.
The chilling black sword aura shimmering on the Gigant's greatsword.
Cheu-pit! Cheu-pi-pi-pi-pit!
Hartmann Swordsmanship 1st Form unfolded from the Gigant's hand.
"Father!!! Are you watching, sir? It is the Hartmann Swordsmanship Gigant, sir!"
Seo-geo-geo-geo-geo-geok!
The Sand Dragon's head falling off.
The terrifying basic size and mass of the giant greatsword, the demonic energy of the Dragon Heart, the attack power and cutting power reinforced by enchantments and magic power circuit diagram.
[Sub-Dragon Sand Dragon Defeated 1/1] [You have succeeded in the 88th floor mission.] [Your level has gone up.]
It was blander than expected.
[Reward : Hardened Solid Sand Dragon Heart/ 2kg of Topmost-Grade Mana Stones]
"Did the rewards come out, sir? Are they good, sir?"
I don't know well if they are good, but.
"It's a Dragon Heart again."
"A Drag-again Heart?"
"Yes, a Drag-again Heart."
It's good that items drop well.
But it's hardened solid?
'When will a proper Dragon Heart come out?'
Also, where do I use something that has hardened solid again?
As Joo-hyuk stared at Mari sitting huddled in a corner.
Seuk-seuk-seuk-seuk-seuk.
- I heard that a Sand Dragon's Heart is originally like that. Its magic power is sealed. It's really hard to process too.
A Sand Dragon's Heart with sealed magic power.
It seems the reason that punk can't use magic is because of that too.
[World Notice : You have reached clearing grade S+++ for the 88th floor of the Black Tower (Germany).]
[S+++ clearing reward : 2 Platinum Badges are conferred.]
However, the clear wasn't over yet.
This is only one time.
After exiting the tower, Joo-hyuk promptly decided to do repeated clears of the 88th floor.
The first clear was for the S+++ grade.
"The maestro of fly filming, the human drone camera that roams the sky and earth, it becomes a masterpiece even if shot roughly, the hyper-realistic artist spirit that rejects CG, the artistic soul blooming in the Black Tower, Director of Photography Mackenzie, I will deploy."
Mackenzie holding an expensive camera equipped with an ultra-high-definition anti-shake gimbal rather than a smartphone.
His expression was full of pride.
Meaning as a Director of Photography, not as a Magician.
Has he quit being a Magician now?
Mackenzie went up into the sky for filming.
After selecting an appropriate place.
De-gu-reu-reu-reu, chak!
With lightning-fast hand movements, pulled out a temporary grandstand made by attaching stairs from the subspace backpack.
It was prepared in advance.
So that we could sit comfortably and watch.
Installed a large monitor to the side too and.
Joo-hyuk sat in the grandstand.
At that, the other summoned entities also took their seats on the chairs.
"Dimensional Farmhand, requesting caramel popcorn and cola, sir."
"This girl would like butter-roasted squid......."
"The Warrior will grill meat over there."
"You brought chicken, right?"
"Is there no soju and beer?"
"We should have brought them packed full in the icebox."
"This old man will roll a refreshing drink." (t/n: mixing drinks)
All preparations were completed.
Preparations to watch, eat, and enjoy.
Repeated clear Round 2.
The Gigant advancing while holding the sword and shield.
Peo-peok! Peok-peok-peok!
The reliable Unit 2 was cornering the Sand Dragon with just its shield alone.
"Heum, as expected, since it's a Gigant, the linking motions aren't smooth."
"That level is standard, sir. Please roll me one more glass of somaek, sir."
"Do you not have hands? Do you not have feet?"
"I am an alcohol lightweight so I don't drink, sir. Bong Summoner-nim's glass is empty, sir."
"Oops, that shouldn't happen."
"Master, please have some snacks while doing so. I will feed you. Ah! Say ah, ah......."
"You wench! I told you so many times not to use skills!"
"...Whatever I do you say it's a skill?"
"The shield arts are tolerably satisfactory to me."
"That is natural, of course. For it is the shield arts of an LSSR Holy Knight."
"Dr. El, please don't finish it too quickly."
"I will drag out the time as much as possible."
We need to shoot the video for a long time if possible.
There needs to be enough quantity to even decide whether to disclose it or not.
Though it wouldn't be good to drag it out too much either.
Damned Summoner punks.
What are they doing right now?
[These bastards.......]
Did they come for a picnic?
The Summoner who before they knew it even set up a grandstand, sat down, ate drinks and food, and chatted idly.
[Just how much do you look down on us!]
Even the Magician punk was holding a camera and filming the fighting scene between the Gigant and the Sand Dragon.
Is tower climbing a joke?
It must not be a joke.
But to that punk, it seems to amount to nothing more than play.
Chit-chatting and laughing for a long while like that, after clearing the Sand Dragon once again, only then did the punk hurriedly pack his bags and exit.
[...We must set a countermeasure after all.]
[What about the 89th floor? Did you contract it?]
[I did. It's adapting right now.]
Originally, the Demonic Dragon Karatos was the supervisor of the 89th floor.
Even though that punk's heart is now inside that Gigant's sword.
We contracted a new Dragon without delay.
As the new supervisor of the 89th floor.
[It's a Demonic Dragon, right?]
[It's not fully one. It's in the process of becoming a Demonic Dragon.]
[Its original attribute is?]
Then we need to call the 89th floor free agent Dragon to the manager's room and inform it about the Summoner in detail.
Of course, we did tell it when making the contract though.
[He climbed straight to the 89th floor right now.]
As soon as he exited?
[...Did you tell the new 89th floor free agent Dragon about the Demonic Sword and Dark Shield?]
[There was no time for that. We just found out too.]
Once they enter the tower, the rule is to not intervene.
Suspiciously diligent punk.
Doesn't he know what break time is?
