Earth No. 675.

It was a dimension where work had been completed.

According to the law of causality, it was the final stage that naturally flows even if left alone.

However, suddenly, the Demonic Dragon Karatos, who was the manager of the 89th floor and a free-agent soul, was eradicated.

Out of the blue.

What happened?

The cause was a meteor.

It died after being hit by a dropping meteor.

No, if a meteor drops, shouldn't it have just evaded with teleportation?

Why did it stay still, get hit, and die?

The managers of Earth No. 675 turned their eyes to Berlin.

A city that has now disappeared due to the meteor.

And the intense flow of magic power left there.

It wasn't a simple meteor.

[...Meteor?]
[Seems like it.]
[Did Karatos summon it? Surely not suicide?]
[What reason would he have to commit suicide?]
[Right. That greedy scrub.]

Furthermore, even an error occurred in the system.

No matter how great a meteor is, there is absolutely no way it would affect the system.

Anyway, a shutdown for fixing.

And after time flowed.

Spot!

Someone who appeared at the giant crater where the meteor fell.

[Who is that?]

It wasn't one person.

U-reu-reu, they appeared in a swarm.

[Looks like the Summoner.......]
[Which is why I'm asking why the Summoner is here?]
[How should I know?]

There is no Summoner in this dimension here.

Even if there was, they died in the early stages.

[In any case, that punk seems to be the cause of the system error.]
[Search the system log records. We need to know who it is.]
[Recovery is still... Ah! Because we shut down, it's done now.]
[The records?]
[...Uh?]
[What's wrong?]
[F, first of all, an achievement popped up.]
[What achievement?]
[Dragon Slayer.]
[...What?]

Meaning that person killed Karatos.

A human killing a Dragon?

Actually, simply because a Dragon died, it isn't a big deal.

Since it's a consumable anyway.

The problem is that an achievement has popped up.

The targets to whom achievements are given are only players.

And those affiliated with this world at that.

[Why the hell an achievement?]

He's not even affiliated with the Black Tower here.

[...T, that is.]
[Don't beat around the bush and speak quickly.]
[He just acquired a nationality.]
[.......]

What?

They couldn't help but doubt their ears.

[A, acquiring nationality, that's nonsense....... Are you playing a joke right now?]
[But it actually happened.]

My god.

This is no ordinary matter.

The worst situation has occurred.

[Don't tell me a survivor of Earth No. 675? Was a player still remaining? And an unregistered one at that?]
[No. They seem to have come out from the White Tower.]
[If it's the White Tower?]

There is only one possible route.

[It's the elevator!]
[Right. They rode the elevator and came from Earth No. 1,001.]
[.......]

I'm going crazy.

[So you're saying a player from another dimension came to our neighborhood and acquired nationality?]
[Right.]
[...Ha-ha-ha.]

It's a matter to go crazy and jump around.

Because it's so ridiculous, only a hollow laugh comes out.

[Those retarded manager scrubs of No. 1,001. Just what were they doing while that scrub was running wild?]
[Should I open the communication network?]
[Open it quickly. I must pour out at least a bout of curses.]
[No. Don't curse. Stop at the level of protesting. Now that things have turned out like this, we must seek the cooperation of the managers over there.]

It's driving me crazy.

A world where players have completely disappeared.

On the other hand, a world where one person still remains.

This difference is very big.

Because causality will intervene.

The rule that constructs and maintains the world, I mean.

The result appeared immediately.

Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu!

A Black Tower soaring up in Berlin.

Originally, there was no Black Tower on Earth No. 675.

They had all disappeared completely.

Why?

Because the affiliated players all died or their awakenings were canceled.

Since there are no players, there's no reason for the Black Tower to exist.

Furthermore, the monsters had already occupied the whole world.

So their own statuses were also managers of Earth No. 675, not managers of the 675th Black Tower.

However, now the sole Black Tower was generated on Earth No. 675.

For just one affiliated player, I mean.

[It's ruined.]

What if that tower is completely cleared at this rate?

I don't even want to imagine it.

* * *

White Tower 17th floor.

The anthropophobic Shut-in Alchemist Aliya Mari is in the middle of a Top-grade Mana Stone transmutation operation alone in her house.
Since a thing called an elevator has been created, a lot of Top-grade Mana Stones required for round-trip operations will be needed in the future.
Natural ones are insufficient.
We also don't know when the Black Tower veins might deplete.
Although the Summoner-nim rode the elevator for free this time thanks to the achievement reward, he might happen to have a reason to use it again later.
I should always have about 10kg of Top-grade Mana Stones ready.
Actually, the Top-grade Mana Stone transmutation is a very boring task.
It is no different from simple repetitive manual labor.
Heating and refining High-Grade Mana Stones in the alchemist's cauldron, concentrating them, leaving pure crystals, and once again heating, refining, and concentrating.
A ratio of 1,000 to 1.
Only by transmuting 1 ton of High-Grade Mana Stones can you barely obtain 1kg of Top-grade Mana Stones.
About 300g at best per day?

I have to quickly finish my daily quota and log into the game though.

Only then will I be able to land a soul-bearing team fight in the Canyon.

Anyway, when is the Summoner-nim coming?

Could it be that something happened by any chance?

Of course, since the summoned entities followed along, nothing major would happen but.

Right then!

Hu-da-da-da-dak!

The 17th floor getting loud.

Voices heard murmuring (du-reon-du-reon).

'They have come, I see.'

It's Summoner-nim.

A smile bloomed on Mari's face.

But?

Knock knock.

"Mari-ssi?"

Mari swiftly approached the front of the door.

And with her tablet.

Tti-ring!

: Yes™¥™¬

Then.

Cheol-keok!

The door opened and a massive octahedral gemstone lump rolled inside.

Tti-ring!

: I picked this up on the way here, Magician Mackenzie-nim says it's a Dragon Heart. Appraisal requested.

Mari smirked (pi-sik).

To think he picked up a Dragon Heart on the way here.

Is that lying around on the ground somewhere?

No matter if it's the Summoner-nim, this joke goes too far.

What kind of unbelievable nonsense.......

'...Eung?'

What is this?

A giant gem that came inside the door and was placed at her feet.

An unusual color, and an explosive magic power felt from within it.

Pa-reu-reu-reu.

The corners of Mari's eyes trembled.

She placed both hands on the surface of the gem but.

'R, really?'

It was.

It's a Dragon Heart.

The magic power source left behind when a dragon dies, where its vast magic power lumps together and condenses into a gem form.

He picked this up on his way?

From where?

: I, it is correct. It is a Dragon Heart.

At that time!

"She says it really is a Dragon Heart. An LSSR Alchemist appraised it herself."

"Did this Magician not say so. That it is a Heart."

"What do we make with this, sir?"

"Of course it's the Summoner-nim's Nectar. He must live for over a thousand years."

"Rather than that, an Elixir of Enhancement seems good. If your body becomes an indestructible diamond body (Geumgangbulgoe), you can be unharmed by any attack so."

"Ey, still, Nectar."

"I cast one vote for the Enhancement Elixir."

"I'm for Nectar."

Opinions are divided.

Right then.

Tti-ring!

: But you cannot use this.

"Eu-hik?"
"What?"
"Why?"
"Cannot use it, you say."
"I thought it was a Dragon Heart."
"Are you perhaps deceiving us to smuggle it behind our backs, sir?"

: The energy is turbid. It is not pure magic power but filled completely with demonic energy. Therefore it cannot be used as medicinal material.

Demonic energy (Magi).

: It is unequivocally the corrupted Dragon Heart of a Demonic Dragon. Did you guys decide to contaminate the Summoner-nim's body and soul with demonic energy? Do you want to die?

"Ah!"

The summoned entities deeply disappointed.

How much did they rejoice picking up a Dragon Heart?

But it's junk food?

"E-ra-i, that ruined my joy."

"I knew it'd be like this, sir. Among the things Magician Mackenzie has done, what is there that he did properly, sir?"

"Why are you picking a fight with me? Rajix dug it up."

"Ho-ek!!!"

Conversely, Joo-hyuk shrugged his shoulders and spoke.

"Well, it's fine. It's not like medicine is urgently needed either."

Still, the summoned entities responded with regret.

"Are there no other uses?"

"How about purifying it and using it?"

"Right, if you wash dirty clothes clean, they are wearable, aren't they."

"Do we put it in the washing machine, sir? The detergent will be the Elixir of Purification."

: There is another use but.......

"What is it?"
"Hurry and speak."
"Oof, it's so frustrating it drives me crazy, sir."

: You can use it as material to make a weapon. It was actually made before, and in my world, it was called a Demonic Sword (Mageom).

"Demonic Sword (Mageom)?"

"Hmm, Demonic Sword, there was one in Jianghu as well. It was an atrocious sword made through human sacrifices of 100 virgin boys and girls."

"There was in this Magician's world as well, it was a method of refining the bones and heart of the Demon King to make it but."

"There was in this girl's world as well. If you seal the soul of an evil spirit in a sword, it becomes a demonic sword."

The method of making was each different, but they were saying there were demonic swords.

"However, this case is surprisingly simple."

"Indeed. She says we only need the heart of the Demonic Dragon."

"But if we make it with this, it seems the sword will be huge, sir."

"What does it matter if it gets huge? We have Gobang too."

Will there be utility?

: Is it usable?
: If we just look at the destructive power alone, there is no weapon like it. It can even kill a Dragon in a single strike.

Oh!

Not bad.

A Dragon Killer.

It is almost a certainty that Dragons will appear on the uncleared upper floors.

If there is a customized weapon, it will be a big help.

But?

Tti-ring!

: However, even if you make it, you cannot use it. No, you absolutely must not use it.
: Why?
: Because it gnaws at a human's soul, it dyes the soul with demonic energy and eventually drives them crazy.
: Ah!

There is no way that goes easily.

'Hold on!'

Dyes with demonic energy and drives them crazy?

The eyes of Joo-hyuk and the summoned entities turned to one person.

'There's one person.'

It's a perfect fit.

"Why are you all staring at this Seat?"

Because it's Gwangma (Crazy Demon, ç‹‚é­”).

The characters for crazy (Gwang, ç‹‚) and demon (Ma, é­”) are both in your name.

"Keu-heom! Well, for roughly a demonic energy like that, if I cannot control it, I should grind out this Seat's name."

However.

: Not a chance. It is not a demonic energy a human can overcome. It might be fine at first, but as the demonic energy gradually gets stuck in the bone marrow.......

"You are saying he will enter Qi Deviation (Juhwaimma)."

: Right. That is why you absolutely must not hold it. You are already half-crazy as it is, but if you go completely crazy, you might endanger the Summoner-nim.

"That's right, sir. The 3 rules of summoned entities, what happens if you just violate them recklessly, sir? You might become senile and smear poop on the walls......."

"Gal! You look down on this old man too much. If I enter Qi Deviation, I would rather choose self-termination."

"Did you not hear that your soul gets crushed, sir? It will stay the same even if you die, sir. Are you going to roam around the 17th floor like a crazy senile coffin-dodger ghost, sir?"

"...This scrub."

Gwangma is a no-go too.

: Rather, it would be a different story if it is of the opposite nature, someone whose soul is noble and holy... for example, like a Saintess or a Holy Knight.

Holy Knight?

Everyone's eyes gathered onto Bardin again but.

"Hmm."
"Keum."
"Eum."
"Ehew......."
"Ey!"

Everyone has similar thoughts.

He is noble and holy?

A pervert fanatic Holy Knight?

Even a passing Rajix would laugh.

"Ho-eng!"

What should I do?

Should I just throw it away?

At that moment!

Magical Engineer El spoke.

"Wouldn't it be fine if a human does not hold it?"

That's true.

It's fine if it's not a human.

It just so happens a non-human, a golem is before my eyes and.

"Then El-ssi?"

"No. Not me. I must not hold it."

"Why?"

"Because a soul exists in me too."

Ah! Right.

Only the body was a golem, right?

"Then who."

"A Gigant."

Gigant?

"There will be no problem if you give it to an automatic Ego Gigant, not a boarding type."

"O-o-oh!"

That's right.

Because an automatic Ego Gigant has no soul, it is not invaded by demonic energy.

Since it will move according to its pre-set magical engineering ego intelligence.

Then where do we get an Ego Gigant?

Production takes.......

"At least a minimum of 1 year, no, it might take even longer."

Right now it's difficult and.

If so?

"It seems it would be fastest for our dimensional farmhand to bring one whole from the 85th floor."

Originally, the 85th floor Gigant was a boarding type directly controlled by El.

After she recovered her summoned entity qualification and departed from the tower, it was replaced with an automatic type.

But will it be possible?

A scrub the size of a building.

"The height of an automatic Magnus Gigant translated to Earth scale is about 100m."

It's huge.

I don't know if we can pack it in and bring it.

When Rajix was SSR, something the size of a large dump truck entered sufficiently.

He said he could put in even larger things than that.

Now Rajix who broke through to LSSR.

The capacity of his subspace backpack would have also become much larger.

"It might work if we lay the punk down and put it in gently starting from the head."

"Since the shoulder width is between 25m and 30m... Well. I suppose we will only know if we try but."

"Ho-e-e."

I'm curious.

Will a Gigant go in?

"Let's try it. To see if he can carry it here."

"Ho-rat!"

"I will prepare a Magic EMP."

The reason a Demonic Sword is needed?

It is because of the Dragon.

I confirmed that Dragons exist in Max Kruger's world.

However, can we catch it again?

Although we caught it with a meteor, that was actually because coincidences upon coincidences overlapped.

What if we meet one in the tower?

As if that punk would wait until we complete the meteor summon spell.

We must find another method.

A clearing method capable of defeating the Dragon.

The demonic sword is precisely that answer.

'Well, it's worth a try.'

There's an achievement reward too.

Dragon Slayer title.

In battles against all types of dragons, attack power and defense power increase, applies to summoned entities as well.

Gigant.

When you get down to it, isn't it a giant robot?

There's a similar movie too.

The great clash between monsters and robots.

'A spark-flying face-off between a Dragon and a giant robot holding a Demonic Sword, huh.'

Tower climbing is suddenly becoming very interesting.

* * *

A dimension that hasn't been ruined yet.

No, this damn Summoner's Earth showing not a hint of ruin.

The managers of Earth No. 1,001's Black Tower have already lost their confidence a long time ago.

The work they're doing right now is just merely pushing the suppression rune necklaces into the China Black Tower.

Honestly, it's a meaningless task.

If the necklaces spread from China to the whole world and conflicts burst out here and there, there would at least be some gratification but.......

Every country excluding China had already completed their countermeasures.

With magic power sealing scrolls.

It was only effective in China.

There weren't even signs of it spreading.

It's all because of that punk.

The Summoner who interferes at every turn.

China Tower collapse?

Would the Summoner leave it alone to collapse?

He just has to go in and out with a multinational tower usage ticket.

I want to quit doing this now too.

Well, isn't it enough to just leave him alone to go up to the 90s floors?

But?

[D, Designer, ...an e, emergency communication has come in from Earth No. 675.]

The somewhat seemingly trembling voice of the Engineer.

[Um?]

If it's Earth No. 675, it's a dimension where the project is already progressing.

Why from there?

[The business?]
[They asked about the Summoner player of our dimension. Asking why that person appeared on Earth No. 675.......]
[...What?]

Did I hear wrong?

[The Summoner appeared on Earth No. 675?]
[They said so.]

Ah!

I understand what happened.

[He installed the elevator and operated it, I see.]

It was a predicted event.

Seeing how they were mining High-Grade Mana Stones so much on the 84th floor.

Actually, it's unexpected.

The Summoner is a figure whose courage isn't very strong.

I thought he would postpone and not do the elevator installation, let alone its operation.

[But what do they expect us to do, the elevator is something he received from establishing an achievement anyway.]
[That is.......]

The Engineer explaining the contents protested by the managers of Earth No. 675.

Awakening registration, Dragon Slayer, and on top of that.

[...H, he acquired nationality, they said.]
[Yes.]

Nationality acquisition of all things.

Doesn't that mean he crossed dimensions and became an official resident of that world.

[Keu-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!!!]

Laughter burst out.

I couldn't hold it back at all.

[It's planting a stake.]

As long as the Summoner maintains his qualification as a player of Earth No. 675, the project over there will not progress anymore.

According to the law of causality, I mean.

[What should we do?]
[What do you mean what should we do! Say we don't know either and ignore them!]

Let them taste the spiciness too.

Exactly how damn sickening of a scrub the Earth's Summoner is.
