Chapter 401
1.
Shortly after the Michael Party, including Seonghyun, went down to the 81st floor, the backup team that arrived at the 80th floor was the Embris Party, which had the biggest advantage in the labyrinth among the three parties.
As Embris checked the leaderboard only after reaching the 80th floor and looked at the camera.
She could see the current number of viewers.
[Current Viewer Count-9,147,872●]
The number of viewers, which was originally close to 8 million, had increased to 9 million before they knew it.
As the influx gradually increased, they started flocking to the 2nd place Embris Party.
Embris also recognized that while looking at the leaderboard and spoke.
"Phew, it seems we are at least in 2nd place."
"Hmm, but it looks like a boss fight from here on."
"Let's utilize our time quickly."
"Because it won't be easy to catch up to the Luna team or Kyou team in a boss fight."
At her party members' words, Embris also nodded her head.
On the other hand, the viewers.
-Oh, it seems the Luna Party and Kyou Party are specialized in combat.
-Kyou is lololol fighting with his own party member even now?
-lololol Looking at it, the party member attacked first.
-Noona is pretty!!!
-Wow!!! You arrived here!?
-It's freaking hard here!
-It has a special ability......
(This is a deleted message.)
Since it was a floor Seonghyun had already reached, there were viewers who watched and tried to be a cuckoo giving spoilers, but they were blocked mercilessly and their messages were deleted.
Embris didn't pay much attention to such things, caught her breath, and said.
"If we don't go diligently, let alone overtaking, we won't even be able to step on Seonghyun-nim's shadow. We will try to catch it as quickly as possible."
At Embris's words, the demonic sheep giant began to move, and the Embris Party hurried to start hunting the guy.
Was it because Seonghyun stepped forward leisurely at first?
The Embris Party faced the guy with all their power, and naturally, they also quickly felt the gimmick Seonghyun had felt, so they were able to quickly suppress the guy while floating in the air.
The time it took up to there was 13 minutes at most.
It didn't take that long, but the two teams that arrived subsequently both managed to defeat it in 11 minutes, so the time earned in the labyrinth was shortened by a whole 2 minutes.
It was because the Embris Party discovered the gimmick later compared to the two parties, but they were still able to stay ahead of the two teams for now.
And this time too, the Embris Party was the very first to arrive at the 81st floor.
However, Embris, who arrived at the 81st floor, looked at the boss in the giant cavity, identical to the 80th floor, with an absurd expression.
It was the same in boasting a giant size, but unlike the demonic sheep giant, it was a little smaller.
Holding a giant broadsword with a size roughly around 3m, it was extraordinary.
And seeing its appearance maintaining a human form like a shadow, she clashed with it once again thinking it might use considerable swordsmanship, and how much time had passed like that?
"No, what kind of boss is this!!!"
Embris shouted in irritation.
"You're saying Seonghyun-nim caught this kind of boss in under 10 minutes???"
As Embris said that as if it really made no sense.
The viewers answered.
-Yeah;;;
-Yes;;;;
-Yes;;;;
-We don't know how he did it either......
-He just swished and it died not long after???
It was understandable because the attribute of the guy that appeared this time was also the abyss, but it was being exerted in a different direction, so Embris had no choice but to say this.
2.
Before Embris entered the 81st floor and became bewildered.
Seonghyun, who arrived first, could see a shadow forming a human shape with a size of 3m like the giant's shadow.
And at once, Seonghyun smiled and thought.
'This guy uses the abyss too?'
It seems the 80s floors are full of guys with the attribute of the abyss.
He wondered if the Abyss was coming out first as expected since he was told to be most careful of the Abyss, but well, it was the guy at the very front anyway.
Setting that aside, Seonghyun intended to fly up first and think this time as well.
In the previous 80th floor, he had still given the Michael Party a chance, but.
Having already seen their strength on the 80th floor, he thought it was right for him to step forward, and as Seonghyun stepped forward alone.
The remaining Michael Party didn't step forward and spoke while looking at Seonghyun from behind.
“Fighting!!!”
“Cheer up!!!”
“P-Please win!!!”
Although the Michael Party suddenly became a cheering squad.
Not a single viewer laughed at them.
-That is the right thing to do.
-It's better to cheer than be a hindrance;;;;
-There's nothing more embarrassing than stepping in for no reason and getting retired.
-In the Abyss, if one gets retired, doesn't everyone get kicked out???
-Yep yep yep yep so not even one can die
-Then do you have to start from that floor again?
-Yep yep yep yep and you even get banned from entering for a few hours so dying during a competition is a real nuisance.
-Ah so that's why the Michael Party stepped back???
Just as a few viewers wondered why they were acting like that instead of at least assisting. When a kind viewer informed them, they nodded as if they understood.
As Seonghyun smiled gently at the Michael Party and flew up towards the giant shadow.
The guy reacted and immediately reached out its hand.
Seonghyun could feel it looking at the hand reaching towards him.
The power of the abyss pulling him down.
It was a merciless force that made it impossible to stand, but as Seonghyun felt it and lightly snapped his fingers to create a translucent spherical darkness wrapping around him.
The power of the abyss dragging him down to the floor completely disappeared.
He wouldn't have gone down even if the power of the abyss was there in the first place, but since it was annoying, Seonghyun created the translucent sphere of darkness like that.
The giant shadow rushed in as if reacting immediately.
Likewise, the giant shadow rushed in and unfolded the power of the abyss.
As it wrapped the power of the abyss around the sword and swung it, the power of the abyss was emitted, and blade aura flew in along with a strong pushing force, and Seonghyun quietly watched it.
Kagagagagagaga———!!!
The blade aura that collided with the translucent sphere of darkness rang out a sound like rubbing against metal and tried to cut down Seonghyun's sphere of darkness, but perhaps it was inadequate, as the blade of the abyss deflected and flew towards the wall.
Seogeok————!!!
Along with a sharp sound, the blade aura filled with the power of the abyss literally split the wall like cutting tofu, and Seonghyun looked at the giant shadow as if he had grasped it watching that.
It seemed the guy was one who engaged in combat by emitting energy using that force leading to the abyss to cast a stronger slash, or binding the opponent.
He could definitely feel that it handled the abyss better compared to the 80th floor.
But that was all.
After a few exchanges of offense and defense, Seonghyun began to use darkness towards the guy, and as if noticing it, the guy swiftly dodged the awls of darkness soaring from the floor.
Perhaps because it was a giant shadow, its reaction to darkness seemed fast.
Subsequently, he sent out blades of darkness as well, but the giant shadow used the power of the abyss to make the blades miss, showing an appearance of utilizing it better than expected.
Watching such things, Seonghyun laughed as if amused.
'It's quite good, better than expected?'
Seeing the giant shadow desperately defending against Seonghyun's attacks.
Seonghyun was surprised too, but the viewers were just as surprised.
-Wow it blocks that???
-If it got hit it would have died instantly ㄷㄷㄷㄷ
-It definitely seems stronger than the 80th floor too ㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷ
-Wow this is definitely strong.
Like the viewers' reactions, the Michael Party's reaction was similar.
However, there was definitely quite a lot of difference between watching it on a screen and seeing it on site.
Michael stepped up personally and said.
“Ahhh, looking at it, it's like gravity? No, should I call it repulsion? It's a guy that uses a pushing force, and while the previous guy just absorbed the strength of people stuck to the ground, right now it is using that pushing force to attack and defend!!! However, it isn't able to land a direct hit on Seonghyun-nim at all!!!”
At Michael's words, the viewers were able to focus more on the video.
Seonghyun also didn't particularly care about Michael's commentary and summoned countless blades from all directions to shoot towards the giant shadow, but this time, the giant shadow used the abyss on itself instead of the blades to leap upwards, deflecting the blades of darkness with its sword, and escaped from that spot.
Shuuuuuung———!
As the guy flew in quickly, Seonghyun drew up one of the concepts of darkness as if he had no choice.
On the 80th floor, he had caught it just by manifesting darkness.
Saying he needed to draw up the concept a little for this guy on the 81st floor, a concept was added to the darkness.
A darkness more secretive than any substance moved, and the giant shadow failed to notice it, unable to see the secretive darkness flying towards it.
As a result.
Puuuuuk—!!!
“……!!!”
The giant shadow discovered the darkness piercing its shoulder and swung its broadsword in shock, but.
The darkness had already disappeared from that spot, and once again, the secretive darkness rushed at the giant shadow's side.
Pubububububuk———!!!
It was the giant shadow's body with countless holes created in it, but perhaps it was still fine, as the guy moved again and rushed towards Seonghyun, perhaps thinking this wouldn't do anymore.
As the giant shadow rushed in, it failed to dodge the awls of darkness soaring from the ground.
No, it didn't dodge.
Without even caring, even as countless holes were created in its legs, the giant shadow rushed at Seonghyun, and because its appearance was just like that of a fighter, a few viewers briefly admired it while watching.
-Wow look how tough it is;;;;
-Just the fact that it's running while enduring that;;;;;
-Most bosses would have died there??????
-The Demon King is really strong.
-Uh it's swinging its broadsword!!!!!!!
As the giant shadow approached Seonghyun like that, Seonghyun quietly watched the giant shadow rushing towards him, and as the giant shadow got close to Seonghyun, it lifted its broadsword above its head and swung it powerfully, and Seonghyun was still maintaining the translucent sphere of darkness while watching it.
However, the moment the giant shadow's broadsword struck down on Seonghyun's sphere of darkness, the powerful force of the abyss was granted to Seonghyun, and he should have plummeted to the floor.
However.
Kwaaaaaaa————!!!
The giant shadow's powerful downward strike couldn't even leave a scratch on Seonghyun's sphere of darkness, nor could it send him down.
Seonghyun was floating as if merely fixed in that spot, and the floor beneath where Seonghyun floated had a hole created that couldn't even be seen due to the force of the abyss.
That was the giant shadow's all-out attack, but.
It couldn't leave a single wound on Seonghyun's sphere of darkness, and Seonghyun spoke as if it was a shame.
“Looks like a secret weapon, but what a shame.”
Along with those words.
Puuuuuk———!!
The sound of something piercing was heard.
From behind the giant shadow's back, a hand of darkness pierced the giant shadow's heart, and the shadow of the giant shadow gradually flickered and disappeared from that spot.
As Seonghyun cleared the 81st floor smoothly like that, he said.
“Let's speed up a bit from now on. Seems they are catching up little by little.”
As Michael lifted his head at Seonghyun's words.
After that, Seonghyun's speed was extremely fast.
Breaking through the 82nd, 83rd, and 84th floors all within 10 minutes, he was finally able to reach up to the 85th floor within 1 hour.
