chapter 25
25 – Butler doesn’t hide power (4)
We set foot on the last ten floors of the Tower of Growth.
The blue sky that appeared in our field of vision.
The red clouds roaming the sky were strange, so I looked closely, and they were a group of wyverns.
A tricky flying monster that is classified as a sub-dragon and is called the ruler of the sky.
Its main habitat is sheer cliffs, it has two horns on its head, and its skin is dyed red all over.
Like monsters breathing fire from their mouths, a red aura was swirling around their bodies.
ㅡKieheek… … !
A bunch of wyverns howling at us, probably angry at the unexpected intruder.
ㅡQuaaa!!
“Oh, it’s noisy.”
“That’s…”
In their center, a wyvern three times the size of a normal wyvern revealed its majestic appearance.
The expression of the three people standing behind me hardened at the sight of him uttering a scream that was almost like a dragon’s roar, not howling.
Princess Laura muttered in a low voice while staring at him.
“Wyvern King… why is that special object…”
“No, if there’s something like that on the tenth floor, how are you going to wake it up?!”
“Ugo, Wyvern King, I’ve never seen it before.”
Reaction as if it were an uncommon monster.
“Is it true that special objects are particularly strong among dungeon bosses?”
“Yes. When it comes to normal wyvern dungeon bosses, most of them are assault wyverns.”
“But that… it seems clear that the rare Wyvern King.”
I too had heard of it a long time ago, from young Katherine.
There is a special entity that sometimes appears like a mutant in a group of monsters.
Classes such as the Goblin King, Orc King, Troll Shaman, and Wyvern King belong to special objects,
They say that they are several times the size of a normal dungeon boss.
“No matter how strong they are, they are not monsters.”
That’s right, it’s not a monster, it’s just a monster.
ㅡQuaaa… … !
Whole body fighting method
Raises the whole body’s magical power.
It has lost a lot of horsepower compared to the first time, but it’s still okay.
I just need to drop them all in one blow.
派劍之場
“Don’t look down like that.”
A monster with the arrogant nickname of ‘King of the Sky’.
If you make them fall and bring them down to the ground, they are the King of the Sky, Nabal, and just a punching bag.
“Come down, you bastards.”
Secret Sword: Thousand Waves
Ku-gu-gu-gu-goo-!!
ㅡKraaa… … !
The mana fired at them splits into a thousand waves and covers the blue sky.
In an unrealistic sight as if thousands of giant arrows had been shot,
The three people in the back stared blankly at it, speechless.
Kugu Palace… … .
ㅡQuaaa… … .
Even the Wyvern King couldn’t avoid all of this,
Like other wyverns, the wings became honeycombs and fell to the floor.
As soon as he saw it, he shouted at the three of them.
“now!”
“Haha!”
The three of them run towards the screaming monsters on the ground and attack them with their own weapons.
Laura slashes the golden sword with graceful movements, and Miya quickly stabs and kills the wyvern with a thin sword.
And even Ugo, who slams the heads of those struggling with the huge shield he is holding.
It fell to the floor, but it glided toward the Wyvern King, who still radiated that momentum.
ㅡKoo-eup, kwaaa… … !
Then, sensing a sense of danger, he took a deep breath and spewed out a huge flame toward me.
Whoa ah… … !
I stomped my feet close to him, narrowly missing the flames.
The Wyvern King, glaring at me floating in the air, opened his mouth again and prepared for a breath.
The wyverns around him also gathered hot flames in their mouths and prepared to shoot at me.
The danger of dozens of fireballs being shot at me.
It was a very dangerous sight, but
I calmly put all my remaining magic power into the sword I was holding.
At the same time, the flames of magical power that were burning fiercely became a huge waterfall and scattered waves of energy around.
ㅡQuaaa!
ㅡQuaaa!
Using that as a signal, the wyverns shot sparks out of their mouths,
I also swung my sword in a crescent shape toward the ground they were stepping on.
Gwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwangeueueu!!!
ㅡKrwwwwwwwwwwwa… … !
An Aura Blade that devours Wyvern’s flame bullets and advances.
Eventually, the destructive sword strikes the ground, and everything around explodes with an explosion.
The king of the sky who died without leaving even his bones, let alone his skin.
When the dust settled after a while, there was no life left around me.
Tring!
A familiar gray spear appeared in front of me as I stood with my sword hanging long after exhausting almost all my strength.
[Passive skill: Special notification (A) is activated.]
[You have successfully broken through the Tower of Growth!]
[As a reward, one of the random stats of your party members, including you, will rise by one level!]
“Five?”
Is this why it is called the Tower of Growth?
That Fruhi or something, the archmage seems to have made something absurd.
That’s why Professor Christina said that you must clear the top before graduation.
Even if it was random, raising one of the stats was a really good reward.
Shall I open the status window for the first time in a while?
“Status window.”
[Status window]

ㅡ When using Madness Runaway, there is a 3% chance of being swallowed by [Unclean].
“Even if you don’t say anything, get out of here because I know.”
I removed the warning message randomly and checked what stats had risen.
At the phrase that my intelligence had risen from grade E to grade D, my face naturally contorted.
Gee, f*ck.
Even if I went up, the most useless thing went up.
If anything else had risen, I would have screamed.
It’s like having an intelligence of F, E, or D, in reality it makes little difference.
Even if everything else follows Yang Baek-ho’s days, there is no answer to that intelligence.
I’ve never really thought of my intelligence as inferior.
“……Is the world ignoring me?”
I mumbled to myself while looking up at the sky, but there was no way there was an answer coming back.
Bunjjaeok!
In front of my eyes looking into the status window and taking a break,
A dazzling light pours in that is incomparable to anything I have seen so far.
Three people spread out in all directions approach me with bright expressions on their faces.
You may not have checked it accurately with the status window like I did, but
He seems to have noticed that positive changes have taken place inside his body.
“I feel like I’ve gotten stronger! My body seems to have gotten a little faster.”
“I also feel that the tip of the sword has become a bit heavy. Indeed, there is a reason why the curriculum is structured so that you clear the Tower of Growth unconditionally.”
“Ugo, I think I’ve gotten smarter.”
Miya is agile, and Princess Laura seems to have improved her strength.
The problem is Ugo, this bear-like bastard.
It seems that the intelligence stat has risen by one level, just like me.
The last time I saw it, it was clear that this guy’s intelligence was a miserable F-class than mine.
There’s no way his overrank durability (SSS+) will rise, so
If stats other than intelligence had risen, it would have been of great help to his growth.
“Ugo. To be honest, since you fed me a little too much, let’s just think it couldn’t be helped…”
“Hmm? Leon’s words, I don’t understand.”
“Originally, this world is all about luck.”
When I talk to Ugo with a pitiful look, he tilts his head with naive eyes.
“You’ve really broken up to the tenth floor…”
Miya muttered in a voice that she couldn’t believe that she had come this far.
She opened her mouth as she shook her hair slightly stained with the wyvern’s blood.
“Really, Leon, I didn’t know you were such a monster.”
“To be a monster to a person.”
“Looking at it again, it’s really unbelievable.”
“Looking at it again? As expected, something happened between Her Highness and Leon!”
At Miya’s sharp point, Laura waved her hand with a puzzled expression.
“It’s not like that. I just happened to have a chance to see it. Really.”
“Huh~. What kind of special spectacle did you have to apologize to each other for?”
“That, that’s…”
She still looked at the princess with suspicion.
While watching the dark-haired beauty with big breasts and the red-haired beauty with small breasts quiver,
Brilliant golden letters floated above my head.
《 To the students who successfully cleared the Tower of Growth, thank you very much for your hard work. 》
《Your names will be engraved on the walls of the tower forever. 》
《 To all of you who have been working hard to climb the tower for a long time, we offer words of encouragement 》
《 We will display the time you spent clearing the tower. 》
《 1st year Leon 3 hours 23 minutes, 1st year Miya 3 hours 23 minutes, 1st year Ugo 3 hours 23 minutes, 2nd year Laura… … . 》
《 … … Eh? for a moment. 》
‘Eh, wait.’ say?
Am I wrong now?
Dig!
The golden text reacted strangely and the world stopped at the same time.
Even the wind that was blowing and the flowing clouds stopped.
“…”
It wasn’t just the surrounding scenery that time stopped.
All three of them, including Princess Laura, Miya, and Ugo, hardened.
Of course, my body was no exception.
Still, I was able to think at least in this stopped time.
I can’t understand what’s going on
that time has stopped
Even though I feel it with my own skin, I still can’t believe it.
A truly indescribable feeling.
Apparently, this happened as soon as those golden letters reacted as if something was broken.
I can’t do anything but just look up at the sky, and I hear someone’s voice in my ears.
【 One for the regressor who returned by force, 】
… … That seems to be referring to Princess Laura.
What is the identity of that existence, does it know that she is a regressor?
The voice of an old man who seemed to be over 100 years old at least came out from among the golden letters.
However, the energy contained in that voice was more virtuous than any young man.
【The other is a twisted reincarnation. 】
… … what?
no, wait.
This is… … It’s the world in the novel the crazy goddess was reading.
But how can I know that I am reincarnated from another world?
【 After living for a long time, you see all these funny combinations. 】
you,
What the hell is identity?
