Episode 262
Crack-tap-
“This might be a good place.”
A dark yet remote place in the Dark Forest, a village of dark elves.
Jinhyuk looked satisfied as he checked the surroundings by kicking the ground in a place where even dark elves did not frequent.
The eerie and remote location may have its own reasons, but as soon as Jinhyeok lost his energy, the wild beasts in the forest that had bared their teeth disappeared in an instant.
They were beasts in the center that even the dark elves found difficult, but from their perspective, it was natural because Jinhyeok was a beast.
“avarice.”
“yes.”
Jinhyeok, who had summoned Tam back while he was in the spirit world, stroked the head of Tam, whose bright eyes were shining as he looked at him, and said,
“Let me introduce you to my new friends.”
“New friend?”
“Yes, we will be eating together from now on and I will be working with you often.”
“yes… … .”
Jinhyeok, who was looking at Tam who was looking at him with his lips together in wonder, smiled and opened his mouth.
“Then let’s begin.”
Jinhyuk slightly pushes the expectant Tom back and lightly raises his mana.
Mana exceeding 300 was so great that there was no problem in performing great miracles on its own.
Due to the approximately 300 mana added as an additional stat, the current Jinhyeok’s mana exceeded 600 and was looking at 700.
This was all the more incredible because it was at a level that could easily suppress the power of a considerable dragon race, and it had already long since surpassed the mana that Jinhyeok possessed in the past.
but-
Coo coo coo coo coo-
“hmm… … .”
Such enormous mana is sucked out at an incredible speed, as if it were poured into a jar with a hole in it.
The amount of mana consumed was so enormous that even Jinhyeok, who had expected it to some extent, was drooling.
‘I don’t think it was like this even when using anti-magic or when operating an army.’
Jinhyeok was horrified by the enormous amount of mana consumed that he had never felt before, even when he was using anti-magic when he was famous as a wizard or when he was operating an army during his time as a necromancer and spirit master.
With this amount, it would be better to assume that there is no mana during battle, assuming that you are using the Spirit Kings.
And the Spirit King’s symbol, which had disappeared from the moment it consumed a huge amount of mana, spewed out white and black light.
The light, which was weak at first, absorbed mana over time and radiated brighter light, and as a result.
-Woah, I called you quickly.
-See you again.
Pong! With a sound, small Dark and Shine appeared.
The small figure, which seemed to be a miniature version of its appearance in the spirit world, was like a fairy from a fairy tale.
“It’s small.”
-Well, because the tower has a lot of restrictions. However, this does not mean that there are few restrictions outside the tower.
-you’re right. The power we can use within the tower will inevitably be less than that of the spirit world.
“I expected it, but it was disappointing.”
Jinhyeok was visibly disappointed when he realized that the power that the two beings could use had also decreased significantly as their size had decreased.
It was definitely something I expected, but it was still disappointing.
The disappointment was even greater, especially since I had seen with my own eyes the power of the two beings just a moment ago.
“The spirit kings under Elione’s command seem powerful.”
-That’s because Elfheim bears some burden.
-You are neither an elf nor a dark elf, so you are not subject to the contract.
“… … “Is this why elves excel as spiritists?”
Unfortunately, Jinhyuk only received an answer that he could produce less effect even though he poured more mana than Elione.
Elfheim.
It was a story unrelated to Jinhyeok, as the god who created the elves relieved their restrictions through the Spirit King and borne some of the mana when summoning and using the elves’ spirits.
Jinhyeok nodded after learning why the spirits controlled by the elves were better and more powerful and why there were many excellent spiritists among the elves.
“Now let’s start by looking at abilities in earnest. Because mana is consumed so quickly, it is consumed faster than it is recovered.”
-Oh, mana just came to mind. How much mana do you have now?
“I got an additional 150 through my contract with you guys, so the total is 667.”
-… … There are so many of them.
-There are a lot.
Not only Dark but even Shine clicked their tongues with their faces stiffened by the enormous mana that was unbelievable for a climber at the beginning of the 100th floor.
Jinhyuk asked back with a puzzled look on their reaction.
“Is there a problem?”
-Yes.
-there is.
“… … what is the problem?”
problem.
Jinhyuk was scared because he never thought that his high mana would be a problem.
In fact, mana between 600 and 700 was not a level allowed for humans.
In fact, among high-rise climbers, only a handful of people reached 500, let alone 600.
Therefore, Jinhyuk also did not know about the problems with high mana stats.
And the spirit kings, Dark and Shine, had no hesitation in informing Jinhyeok about the problem.
– Then you die. I mean this sincerely.
-I guess I have no choice but to agree with him this time. It’s not just mana that’s the problem. Your chaos is very unstable. Imbalance within something that is already unstable causes even greater confusion.

“Are you saying it’s not just mana that’s the problem, but other stats as well?”
-answer. What do you think is the limit to the stats that not only humans but also tower climbers can reach?
“… … 1,000?”
-that’s right. If you go beyond that, honestly, it’s safe to say you’re a god in that field… … If a stat higher than that is passed on to someone who cannot chop the bowl, it can be considered worse than a bomb.
“I was roughly guessing that.”
The stats that can be replaced with one force through one member are around 1,000.
Recently, the number went up a notch to about 1,001, but it was a moment when I felt both worry and joy as the load on my body increased accordingly.
This means that excessive body maintenance does not cause the body to collapse for no reason.
Therefore, Jinhyuk also guessed that the high stats themselves were causing the body to collapse.
but-
“We haven’t even reached 900 or 800 yet, let alone 1,000?”
Jinhyuk’s mana had not even reached the threshold of 1,000 yet.
So I thought it was still okay, and there were actually no problems with my body.
However, the reaction of the spirit kings was different.
-Imbalance is the problem. Well, it’s slowly getting closer to 1,000, so we have to pay some attention to that.
-As I just said, the problem is the imbalance with other stats. Are there any other stats over 500?
“Magic energy and divine power. “There are two.”
-So, there are a total of three that exceed 500.
“That’s the way it is.”
Stats over 500.
Mana, magic energy, divine power.
Shine, who realized that all three stats were over 500, nodded and asked the next question.
-Then how many stats did not exceed 500?
“… … Well, strength, stamina, agility, intelligence, spiritual power, dragon power, giant power, sword power… … .”
-stop! stop! stop! Why are there so many?
-… … It’s really awesome.
Shine was shocked when he heard Jinhyeok’s answer, and even Dark, who was very playful, couldn’t help but click his tongue.
Strength, stamina, agility, intelligence, spiritual power, dragon power, mighty power, sword power.
Almost all of his stats did not exceed 500, and among them, dragon power and mighty power were the lowest stats.
But Jinhyuk was confident.
“Physical stats are the energy that everyone has. Spiritual power is my foundation and vessel. I got the dragon power and giant power because they were the energy of the Four Emperors, so I got them because I thought they would be useful, and I got the sword power for a similar reason… … .”
-… … It’s more serious than I thought. At this level, he’s similar to Tom… … .
Of course, apart from being confident, Shine and Dark’s faces became very serious.
Dark also added a word to the many stats and imbalances that were serious enough to mention Tam, a ‘greedy dragon’.
-Lucifer is better. That guy was chaos with only demonic energy and divine powers, right?
-… … If there are levels of chaos, Lucifer is the best, followed by Tam and Jinhyuk. Honestly, it’s so hard to decide which one is superior to both… … .
Lucifer.
When his name, famous as the ‘angel abandoned by heaven’, was even mentioned.
Gods and demons no longer just watched.
[The pinnacle of all evil laughs at someone.]
[The greedy dragon reminisces about the past.]
[An angel abandoned by heaven is ashamed of his past.]
[The father of mischief and disaster is happy.]
[The wolf devouring the world reminisces about the chaotic past.]
[The owner of the sky is angry at the past.]
[The angel abandoned by heaven snorts.]
[…] … .]
“… … “The voyeurism of the voyeurists has taken hold again.”
-It’s very popular.
-There’s this much interest… … It is true that you are definitely an excellent climber. He would have been so happy if it wasn’t all chaos… … .
Dark and Shine clicked their tongues at the messages of beings that even the Spirit King could not easily ignore.
In particular, Shine feels very dissatisfied with the confusion caused by someone with such abilities.
“… … avarice? “Can you call me?”
But even for a moment.
There was a cute creature that responded to the word Tom.
Tom, who was eating a rice cake skewer that I didn’t know where he got it from, jumped out as if reacting immediately when my name was said.
-… … It looks familiar.
-… … What are these cute creatures? Although there is a little confusion… … It looks very cute from the outside.
Accordingly, the interest of the spirit kings shifted from gods and demons to greed.
Jinhyeok cleared his throat when he saw them happily, with their cheeks hanging down.
“… … “It was my childhood.”
-… … .
-Lying is not good for your health. In particular, the lies of those who seek to achieve godhood have greater destructive power –
“To be exact, the hair color was black. “Not purple-black like a tom.”
-… … Nonsense.
Shine responded as he watched Jinhyeok grumble, asking what on earth didn’t make sense.
-Will this cute child grow up to be as neurotic as you?
“… … “Who gives the impression of being nervous?”
-If you want to say no, I am willing to hold you in the mirror.
“… … it’s okay.”
Jinhyeok felt like he would no longer be able to refute Shine if he looked in the mirror, so he refused Shine’s words.
-But it sure looks familiar.
-It’s a little chaos… … Is this your summon and pet?
“Tom is imitating my childhood, so I can’t help but be familiar with it.”
Shine and Dark, who circled around Tam and were interested in his appearance, treated him like a cute child, but soon remembered their original purpose.
-Then, shall we show off our abilities now?
-I’ll show you that I’m better than that fool who only knows how to play pranks.
-It’s better to be a dark person who only plays pranks than a crazy person who only knows how to destroy things. I am multi-talented.
light and darkness.
Jinhyeok, who shook his head as he saw them starting to argue before even showing off their skills, as they had been fighting against since the beginning of time, intervened with them.
“Let’s fight moderately and start demonstrating your abilities. Wouldn’t that give me a sense of who I should use more often and more seriously?”
-… … Does it stimulate your competitive spirit?
-Dark, it’s a pity, but it looks like I’ll be the only one who will manifest. Comparing you and me. Isn’t there a set answer?
Jinhyuk, who naturally took on the role of referee, took a step back and at the same time, the abilities of Dark and Shine began to burst out.
Naturally, each other was where the abilities were directed.
Crunch, rustle-
“Is that Mo?”
“It’s called popcorn. Are you going to eat it?”
“yes!”
Tam came closer and showed great interest in the caramel popcorn that Jinhyuk was eating. He sat on Jinhyuk’s lap and watched the battle between Dark and Shine as he ate handfuls of popcorn.
Originally, something as enjoyable as watching a fight was watching it while eating something, so Jinhyuk and Tam watched it with popcorn and cola like a father and son at the movie theater.
