===================

After Rajix's Tokyo live performance.

Japan's Maeda cabinet also achieved their own results.

The desperate death struggle of the Prime Minister who stood up to the Yakuza villain player to the end.

It was vividly broadcast all over Japan as well.

It touched the heartstrings of the Japanese citizens and his approval rating increased.

The Yakuza villain player who committed the incident was also arrested and locked in prison.

He is planned to enter interrogation soon.

So power was also added to the argument that they must import Magic Power Sealing Scrolls as soon as possible.

The Japanese Ambassador to Korea met secretly with Korean Awakening Management Agency Commissioner Jeon Kwang-il.

Using the laptop he brought there.

"The Prime Minister wishes to meet with the Commissioner via video. Because it's a situation where he cannot move rashly currently."

Prime Minister Maeda would also have many things to sort out after the assassination attempt.

He has to reveal the mastermind right now too.

Although I don't know if it will go well.

"Yes, let's do that."

Prime Minister Maeda and Jeon Kwang-il facing each other utilizing a laptop video conferencing program in the Commissioner's office.

The Japanese Ambassador was in charge of interpretation.

- We need Magic Power Sealing Scrolls even a day sooner.

Prime Minister Maeda who got a scolding from this crisis.

He overcame the crisis after enduring all kinds of hardships, but there is no guarantee something like this won't occur again.

- We will give you as much money as you'd like, so if you could just supply them.......

Jeon Kwang-il showing a look of difficulty.

"Haa, I also want to help you, but because these are being supplied to each country sequentially according to the order of orders."

How large is the backlog quantity right now.

"If other countries find out we supplied to Japan first, they will feel disappointed."

- We do not need a lot either. Since they just have to be issued exactly to frontline police officers, even if it's just 250,000 sheets.

"Hmm."

250,000 sheets.

If it's around that much, even though it's a quantity the Pyongyang printing workers could sufficiently churn out if they work night shifts for a day or two.

"Well, I'm not sure. As you know, it's not the Awakening Management Agency manufacturing the Magic Power Sealing Scrolls so."

- Ah!

"We are only in charge of distribution. Of course, I can speak about the Prime Minister's circumstances on your behalf though."

- Then if the Commissioner could please deliver the message.......

Jeon Kwang-il did not answer.

Instead, he merely gazed steadily at Prime Minister Maeda through the screen.

Empty-handed?

If there's something coming, there should be something going back.

It might look cheap to demand a price, but things like this are originally normal inter-state transactions.

Maeda noticed too.

What do I have to give him?

- If we pay double the price.......

"Money has no great significance. It's an issue of credit so."

- Th, then what about something like items? We will give you items possessed by the state as a price.

"...Items? Seeing as it's items, ah right!"

As if he remembered something.

Jeon Kwang-il took out a piece of equipment from his inventory.

And while illuminating it on the laptop camera.

"This is yours, Prime Minister, right? It seems to be a precious item, we will return it."

Maeda showing shock.

Right.

The belt, the automatic potion injector.

- Th, that is?

A thing that a strange furball came and extorted during the Tokyo Black Tower battle.

Why is this in the Awakening Management Agency.......

- Perhaps?

He finally understands.

That furball is definitely an existence related to Korea's world's supreme player.

Come to think of it, he had also heard that the supreme player's trait is summoning.

Then did the supreme player save his own life?

So in a trembling voice.

- P, please convey my thanks to the Supreme Player. That I will definitely repay his grace.

"Yes."

- And you don't have to return that belt. I will just give it to you.

"No, we have to return it. It's not our item either."

Actually, it's an item whose research has been completely finished after Magical Engineer El-nim disassembled it.

What's the point of holding onto it?

When it's an item that can be manufactured newly at any time.

As an item with even better performance.

"If you send someone, we will send the belt right away."

Even if he says he's handing over the item, Jeon Kwang-il's unenthusiastic reaction.

Prime Minister Maeda grew anxious.

Eventually, while showing a sheet of paper on the screen.

- This is the list of items kept in the cabinet's national archives safe. Please pick whatever item you desire.

Glancing, Jeon Kwang-il stealing a look at the screen.

Tsk, it's Japanese.

If you're going to show it, you should show it translated into Korean.

Without a choice, running a smartphone translation app and taking a picture with the camera.......

'It's nothing special. It would have been nice if there was at least a Rune of Trait Enhancement.'

And then.

'Eung?'

Jeon Kwang-il who discovered something.

'That was there?'

He had conversed with Player Bong in the past.

About what items were judged to be the most useful to him.

An item that enters the top five among the items Player Bong had talked about, including the Rune of Trait Enhancement.

'Skill Cooldown Reset Ticket.'

An item that eliminates the waiting time for reuse of a trait skill or combat skill that possesses a cooldown.

Jeon Kwang-il mentioned the item on the list with an indifferent expression.

"Skill Cooldown Reset Ticket, that's a truly interesting item."

Of course, he did not explicitly ask to be given it.

- I will g, give it to you.

Because they understand it all.

So a few days later.

250,000 well-packaged Magic Power Sealing Scrolls were loaded onto a ferry and departed from Busan Port to Fukuoka Port.

Furthermore, the Prime Minister's closest aide departed for Korea possessing the Skill Cooldown Reset Ticket.

The world of souls.

Gepetto who clocks in once a day on dispatch duty.

『Have you all been doing well? I came today as well.』

『He came!!!』

『The Vampire came? We've been waiting.』

『Why did you come so late?』

『Tell us chop-chop, how are things going right now?』

Gepetto is proud.

In the White Tower 17th floor he was a summoned entity with no presence who was pushed back even by Blood Wolf, but here he is a super-popular soul.

Right.

This is it.

Dispatch duty tastes like honey.

『Currently out of the purpose of collecting materials required for manufacturing the Summoner-nim's Elixir, they decided to climb the upper floors.』

『What floor is it?』

『It's the 86th floor.』

『Heok! My word! When did he reach all the way there.』

『What about the monster? If it's the 86th floor it wouldn't be an ordinary punk.』

『It's the Superheated Kalpa Fire Phoenix.』

『Heol!』

『Crazy!』

『What's the matter with that?』

『You can view it as the Vermilion Bird of your world.』

『You mean the divine beast that protects the south among the Four Auspicious Beasts? This is a huge deal.』

『In the world I lived in too, the Phoenix was a national disaster-level magical beast.』

『If it isn't the Silver Dragon's Ice Breath or a 9-circle ice-type ultimate magic, it's hard.』

『Isn't there something like the Ice Crystal of the North Sea Ice Palace?』

『In what manner did the Summoner say he would clear it?』

The world of souls that had become boisterous.

So when he told them about the plan.

『Heo-heo, heo-heo-heo-heo!』

『...I am entirely speechless.』

『I've already recognized it when he used the nuke tactic but.』

『A firefighting tactic, right. If it's Earth's chemical technology, there might be a possibility.』

『Of course it's possible. You can already know just by looking at the nuclear bomb right now. Is there even an existence that can withstand a nuke? If Earth's scientific technology is applied in the tower, isn't it perfectly smooth sailing.』

『To spray fire extinguishing agents, and liquid nitrogen inside the tower, it's truly amazing. It's thrilling just imagining it.』

『I definitely want to go out and meet the beastman farmhand named Rajix.』

『I'm the same. Aren't they truly a dream team? If only I could belong within it.......』

『Standing right by the Summoner's side is this girl's dream.』

『Come, come, we shouldn't be like this, let us cheer diligently for our Summoner's success. Yeong!』

『Cha!』

『Yeong!』

『Cha!』

『Yeong!』

.
.
.

Simultaneously, denunciations against the new Manager as well.

『The Managers, cease your despicable trickery immediately!』

『Rather see a bout inside the tower! Stop doing useless bullshit outside the tower.』

『If you're going to do it like that, quit!』

『Has causality collapsed? You fucking bastards?』

The world of souls was hot today as well.

86th floor firefighting tactic.

Showing the cold taste of Earth's firefighting technology.

30 chemical fire engines containing all sorts of kinds of fire extinguishing agents were prepared in White Tower 17th floor.

And a whopping 100 or so large metal water tanks.

Inside was fully filled with liquid nitrogen.

A lot of money went in.

Well, making money is to spend it in times like this anyway.

The Fire Department donation too, and.

Is that all?

Shut-in Alchemist Mari's potion manufacturing ability.

First.

Effect: Upon consumption, fire resistance is drastically strengthened for 10 hours.

He had the people participating in the clear drink one bottle each of this, matching the number of people.

Also, an attack weapon capable of directly striking the Phoenix.

Effect: When thrown or directly injected, inflicts ice-attribute damage to the target.

Potions of ice damage in massive quantities too.

To put inside the fire engine extinguishing agent tanks and use?

No.

For the purpose of cold-energy potion injected bullets that Master Sergeant Be will fire with the magic gun.

A lowest-grade inventory magic circuit diagram was applied to each and every one of these bullets.

Thanks to Magical Engineer El disassembling the automatic potion injector belt and succeeding in researching the inventory magic circuit diagram engraved on it.

The inventory magic circuit diagram is similar to a player's inventory.

Fire extinguishing agents made of Earth materials manufactured on Earth do not enter.

Only items made with materials that came out of the tower enter.

Meaning, things like the liquid of ice-attribute damage Mari made.

Quite a lot of liquid went inside a single bullet.

If it gets hit by this, it's as good as getting covered in roughly 500L of potion.

Thus, all preparations were finished and.

The departure ceremony held in White Tower 17th floor.

The summoned personnel participating in the clear were 11 people in total.

Cossack, Gobang, Gyeon Dal-rae, Rajix, Gwangma, Master Sergeant Be. Bardin, Mari, Diamat, Mackenzie, El.

Among them, Rajix wore a firefighter hat and firefighter suit custom-made by CEO Jung Dong-hoon.

"Ho-e?"

He was very cute.

"Let's enter now."

Putting all equipment into Rajix's subspace backpack and.

After summoning the summoned entities from the penthouse.

'Entering.'

[Entering Republic of Korea Black Tower (NO.1) 86th floor.]

* * *

Black Tower Managers.

The outcries of the souls were also heard by their ears.

[Hmph! Make a fuss all you want.]

Causality?

Of course, would we have executed it not knowing that even?

It was all within the calculated allowable range.

It went a bit too far, but it won't be that big of a problem.

[Foolish things, did you think I was the former Manager?]

But?

[Designer-nim, the Earth Summoner has entered Republic of Korea Tower 1's 86th floor.]

[What?]

A dreadful punk.

He's going up without an end.

At this rate, 90th floor would be soon too.

Hold on!

[If it's the magical beast of the 86th floor.......]

What was it again?

[It is the Hellfire Kalpa Fire Phoenix, wouldn't it be.]

Right?

[Are there any ice magic Magicians or Yin-cold type martial artists among the personnel the Summoner currently leads?]

[There are none. There is an alchemist, but even so, it would just be around cold energy potions.]

[Hmm.]

Then he cannot clear it.

The Hellfire Kalpa Fire Phoenix is the highest-ranking spirit of flames.

It matches the Spirit King.

How do you extinguish the fire?

[He will probably fail.]

[The possibility of that is high.]

[Pull up the scene of Republic of Korea Tower 1 86th floor as a hologram. I must confirm those scrubs' failure with my own two eyes.]

It turned out well.

Let's relieve some stress using this opportunity.

While watching the sight of the Summoner failing.

* * *

86th floor.

The mission is hunting the Superheated Kalpa Fire Phoenix.

The clear method is the firefighting tactic.

Since the nuke tactic worked, there's no way the firefighting tactic wouldn't work.

Showing the spicy taste of Earth's firefighting technology.

Why is the Phoenix a difficult magical beast?

Because that fire cannot be extinguished with water.

At least the authority of the Water Spirit King Elahaim.

The Ice Breath of a Silver Dragon of Wyrm-class or above.

Or a 9-circle ice-type Magician pouring down wide-area spells like Blizzard, Frozen Storm, and Frost Nova.

Only if done like this can it barely be extinguished.

However, if 30 chemical fire engines spray fire extinguishing agents simultaneously like this?

The clear starts from pulling the Phoenix all the way to where the fire engines are.

Master Sergeant Be is obviously in charge of pulling, and.

Rajix deployed the 30 chemical fire engines on a flat terrain.

Seu-seut, seu-seu-seut. Seu-seut, seu-seu-seu-seu.......

The formation is the Crane Wing Formation.

It's majestic.

Isn't it the verified formation Admiral Yi Sun-sin used when smashing Japanese enemies.

Pulling the Phoenix into the fire engine Crane Wing Formation, trapping it, and firing a simultaneous volley at once.

We're going to make it completely smeared in fire extinguishing agents.

This right here is the authority of Earth's firefighting scientific technology.

It's Extinguishing Agent Breath, and Extinguishing Agent Blizzard.

"Summoner Bong-nim, your humble servant still has 30 chemical fire engines left, sir. Everyone be careful of fire, be careful of fire awake or asleep, sir."

Yes, yes.

Please prepare.

Furthermore, Gyeon Dal-rae's talismans were also plastered da-dak-da-dak onto each fire engine.

Divine energy to the fire engines!

A praying exorcism (gut) was done once too, and.

"Master Sergeant Be-nim?"

"Master Sergeant Veronica Caliber, preparation is complete."

"Everyone to your stations!"

Everyone was in charge of two or three fire engines each.

So they can fire fire extinguishing agents immediately.

Master Sergeant Be's fire engine will join after completing the pulling.

Joo-hyuk also took charge of 3 units.

Since he just has to utilize his homunculi.

The volcano seen far away.

With the crater seemingly its nest, the Phoenix flapping its wings above it.

To the extent that its heat is felt all the way here.

Spot!

Deploying Master Sergeant Be.

Pa-pa-pa-pat!

Closing the distance in an instant with rapid-march advancement and then.

Jji-i-ing!

Aimed her magic gun.

It's not the magic gun she always used.

The latest version of the magic gun can fire cold energy bullets through attribute absorption but.

Since there is no cold energy type Magician, attribute magic power absorption doesn't work, so it's with an outdated magic gun that can only shoot if a manufactured bullet is equipped.

So cold-energy potion injected bullets equipped.

Bullets containing an immense amount of cold liquid with the inventory magic circuit enchant.

Pa-ju-ju-juk!

Chul-leong!

The bullet hit the body of the Phoenix squarely.

Pa-at!

The flames dying down.

A hole was momentarily pierced pierced in the fiery body of the Phoenix hit by the bullet.

Although it was soon filled with flames again.

"Ta-ra-ra-ra-ra!!!"

The Superheated Kalpa Fire Phoenix shrieking a bizarre scream.

Hwa-reu-reu-reuk!

It rapidly flew towards Master Sergeant Be.

However, Master Sergeant Be who did not panic.

Stepping backwards slowly with tactical maneuvering.

One more shot.

Jji-i-ing!

Pa-ju-juk!

Chul-leong!

Pa-at!

"Ta-reu-reu-reut!"

The Phoenix frenzied and flapped its wings like crazy.

Continuing to retreat, loading and firing, pa-ju-juk! Loading and firing, pa-ju-juk! Loading and firing, pa-ju-juk.......

Aggro was pulled.

The Phoenix was only looking entirely at Master Sergeant Be.

Now when it was almost reaching the center of the Crane Wing Formation.

"Let's go!!!"

Joo-hyuk's shout.

The chemical fire engines starting to fire simultaneously.

Jjwa-a-a-a-a-ak!

An immense amount of fire extinguishing agents was poured onto the Phoenix.

"Pour it!!!"

About 100L per second.

Since that's 30 units, 3,000L per second.

Because it was a fire extinguishing agent mixed with surfactant, the Phoenix's body was covered in foam.

Foam rising all over its body, oxygen is blocked too, and.

Thus, the flames gradually dying down.

Superheated Kalpa Fire?

So what?

"Do not stop, sir. We must keep firing, sir."

Now the decisive blow.

Mackenzie held Rajix and flew high into the sky with Fly magic.

And opening the subspace from above the weakened Phoenix.

"Ho-ek!"

Ssu-uk!

He dropped a large metal tank onto the top of the Phoenix's head.

Tseu-pit! Tseu-pi-pi-pit!

Gwangma's crescent-moon sword aura following.

Seo-geo-geo-geo-geok!

The tank being cut in mid-air.

And from within it.

Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!

Liquid nitrogen pouring out.

Well, is there only one tank?

Ssuk! Ssuk! Ssuk! Ssuk! Ssuk! Ssuk.......

They drop one after another.

They drop to the extent they cannot be counted.

Every single time a tank dropped, it was cut by Gwangma's sword aura and poured out an immense amount of liquid nitrogen.

Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa! Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa! Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!

Even pure water would be extinguished if hit this much.

"It extinguishes, sir! But look again even at extinguished fires, sir!!!"

The effect was as expected.

Since the fire engines' extinguishing agents and even the liquid nitrogen shower were accompanied together.

"Ta-reu-reu, ta-reu-reu-reuk, ta-reu-reu......."

Tti-ring!

[Superheated Kalpa Fire Phoenix 1/1]
[You have succeeded in the 86th floor mission.]
[Level has increased.]
[Reward : Phoenix's Ash / Phoenix's Feather]
[World Announcement : You have achieved the Black Tower NO.1 (Korea) 86th floor clear grade S+++.]
[S+++ Clear Reward : 2 Platinum Badges awarded.]

* * *

The Managers were astonished.

Because they couldn't even imagine such a tactic.

[Cr, crazy punks!]

[My word, does that make any sense?]

[No, fire engines against a Phoenix?]

To think they mobilized fire engines.

Does it make sense?

They were dumbfounded.

Especially that farmhand.

Hamster beastman Rajix.

[Isn't that punk's existence itself a violation of causality exactly?]

[Tower normalization is not something we should do, but something the Summoner has to do!]

However, they were vain voices.

Because no matter how much they are Managers, they cannot interfere with a summoned entity's inherent skills.

The Managers' stress was aggravated even more.
