Chapter 353
353. Baekhakgeomseon (4)
Secret wish (悲願).
It is to fulfill the wish that the manager subordinated to the tower could not fulfill during his lifetime.
It was also in the same form as the ordeal given to the challenger by the Tower of Trials.
An opportunity that comes only once in a manager’s lifetime.
It means a lot to entrust it to me.
「Exclusive authority #G-0778 [Last Wish] of Administrator ‘White Crane Swordsman’ has been activated.」 It
means that she trusts me enough to entrust her with the most desired wish in her life.
‘It’s not that strange.’
It was worth it.
Up until now, while climbing the tower, I had gone through countless fierce battles, and at the end of it, I reached the level of an ancient deity.
In fact, even a challenger climbing the 30th or 40th floor beyond here wouldn’t be able to beat me.
‘Because I’m the strongest here.’
It’s not like confidence.
It’s just that this is an obvious fact with nothing to add or add to the pathetic exaggeration.
And that’s why Baekhak Geomseon goes beyond trusting me and is going to entrust me with the ordeal of my earnest wish.
「Based on the wishes of the administrator, ‘White Crane Swordsman (白鶴劍仙)’, a special ordeal that is out of class will be created.
」
「Accept: You can enter the world of ‘White Crane Swordsman’, the manager recreated with the power of the tower.」 「
Reject: Special contract ordeal < Last Wish: White Crane Swordsman > will be cancelled. .」
Just…
“I’m sorry, but I can’t take this yet.”
It’s just that I don’t intend to enter the ordeal of the secret wish yet.
It was difficult to accept Baekhak Swordsman’s earnest wish in this way.
In an instant, Baekhak Geomseon’s face hardened like a stone, and her eyes trembled.
Suddenly, instead of the intense longing, her eyes were filled with tears.
“…what do you mean by that?”
It looks like a small animal abandoned by its owner.
“…Can’t accept the ordeal of the non-prayer?”
“yes.”
“…why why? Seo Seong-yoon said he thought I was the most special! I don’t think he even hated me—”
“no. That’s not it, you need to know the contents of the secret wish, right?”
And only then did the droplets of water stop, as if they were about to pour into Baekhak Geomseon’s eyes.
“Ah….”
“Because it is convenient to know the contents of the secret wish and its background to some extent.”
“Yeah… that’s right… Yes… because I need to know the contents of the secret wish… I must have been mistaken.”
A red light came up on her face belatedly, and her head went down.
but for a while.
The white crane swordsman, who calmed his burning face by shaking his head, raised his head and brightened his eyes.
She took a deep breath, calmed down, and continued.
“Come to think of it, I never properly told Seong-yoon about my wishes.”
Suddenly, Baekhak Geomseon’s eyes were stained with bitterness.
“…it’s not that difficult. My only wish is for my family to be revived.”
And she said with those sad eyes.
“My family disappeared because I went through extinction when I was young. It is only my wish to rebuild and revive it in Moorim.”
“Then, if you rebuild and revive Master’s family, that’s it.”
“…yes. That’s why it’s not an extreme wish like that woman of the iron blooded lord. It’s not enough to talk about the end of the world. But in some ways it can be more difficult than that.”
“?”
I had to roll my eyes at him.
I’m not at the level of discussing the end of the world, but what could be more difficult than that?
Even if a high-ranking deity is intertwined, it shouldn’t be particularly burdensome, so why is it so difficult?
“In the trials of the secret wish, there are immortals or opponents comparable to them, but there are more important conditions than that.”
However, such doubts had to be quickly resolved.
“Actually, family revival is something I have to do with my own hands.”
“What is that…”
“Ah, to be precise, I have to do it myself as a child in the trial of my longing.”
“…”
“Even if Seong-yoon meets all the conditions for the revival of the family, it means that I must have the minimum qualifications to carry on it.”
“I don’t think that…”
“That’s right.”
He would be like that too…
“So…”
It was because he realized why Baekhak Geomseon said that this secret wish could be difficult.
“In short, it means that the me reproduced in The Secret Garden must grow to the level of a pseudo-god.”
That’s very certain.
***
In fact, the secret wish of the white crane inspection is something that ordinary challengers cannot achieve.
‘…I never thought I would have to grow the white crane swordsman reproduced by the tower to the level of a god.’
It was worth it.
Because the ability of a mere challenger to climb the tower would not be able to reach the level of godhood.
Not even that.
Even if you reach the level of godhood, you cannot make others do the same.
‘Is it possible to clear this at the level of a challenger?’
And it was no different for me either.
Growing others to reach the realm of godhood was not my specialty.
It was the same even if it was at the level of a pseudo-goddess rather than a formal deity.
But that doesn’t mean you can’t refuse.
“…I’ll try.”
In the end, the answer was fixed.
“Ugh… I’m sorry… Because it’s an absurd wish…”
Then Baekhakgeomseon said that with a sullen expression, and I replied with a smile.
“Still, you seem to know, so it’s okay.”
She lowered her head and spoke in an ant-like voice.
“Yes, yes…”
“Well, and I have a solution in mind to some extent anyway, so there is nothing to worry about.”
“Any solution?”
“That’s right.”
If I had to question it, should I say it was an application of the authority I originally possessed?
‘My power as an ancient deity could be the key to the solution.’
Since becoming an ancient deity, I have been able to handle many things.
‘Of course, I’m not sure yet, but there are plenty of possibilities.’
That was enough to allow mere mortals to step into the realm of divinity.
“Perhaps if a solution works, we won’t have to wait so long.”
Of course, it is a solution that is close to a kind of expedient, but
in any case, it can be solved enough if it is enough to raise it to the level of godhood.
It’s just that, if there’s a problem, it’s just that it’s not the level of divinity that Baekhakgeomseon hopes for.
“…in that case, please.”
and.
「The exclusive authority #G-0778[Last Wish] of Administrator ‘White Crane Swordsman’ has been activated.」 Shortly
thereafter, the moment her exclusive authority was activated again.
“I’ll be waiting for Sungyoon to come back here.”
Did I feel relieved to hear that I had come up with a solution to some extent?
Baekhak Geomseon said that with a relaxed expression, as if he was more relieved.
Only then did I smile a little, and I was completely ready to enter the ordeal.
“I won’t keep you waiting very long.”
and.
“Even if it’s an ordeal of a longing, it won’t be difficult for me anymore.”
next moment.
「I will enter the Tower of Trials < Last Wish: White Crane Swordsman >.」
「Difficulty – Difficulty」
「The subject of the ordeal is ‘White Crane Swordsman(白鶴劍仙).
」 I hope that your wishes come true.”
In an instant, everything in front of me was dyed black.
‘Is it a start?’
It’s nothing else… “The special contract ordeal < Last Wish: White Crane Swordsman > begins.”
and complete your revenge.」
「Trial failure conditions – death of the challenger or the end of the remaining time」
「Trial breakthrough reward-※ The reward level will be determined by the appraisal of the white crane sword」
「Trial failure penalty-death」
Finally, finally, the end The time has come to fulfill your long-cherished wish.
***
Black space.
As soon as I entered the achromatic world with nothing, system messages appeared in front of my eyes.
And I couldn’t help but frown as I read all the system messages that appeared in front of him.
「The wearing of some equipment is restricted and transferred to the inventory.」 「Challenger Han Seong
-yoon has stats that are not suitable for the special nature of the ordeal.」
I don’t.」
「※However, in the case of concept stats, it is fixed to 【10】 instead of 【80】.」
It made sense.
‘Are you saying you’re going to lower all your stats down to double digits?’
Suddenly, the system that originated from the tower tried to exclude my power.
“Remodeling.”
But even so, I wasn’t particularly taken aback by him.
「The myth of transcendence < absolute immutability > is activated.」
「From now on, challenger Han Seong-yoon’s actions will have the divine effect of < denial of alteration >.」 .”
“From now on, the < one and only > divinity effect will be applied to the challenger Han Seong-yoon.”
“Outside phenomena can never imitate the power that belongs to you without permission.
”
After all, even if it was a tower, it wouldn’t be able to pierce the transcendence myth < Absolute Immutability >.
In the blink of an eye, the restrictions of the tower that came from everywhere collapsed and scattered without a shape.
It’s also very neat.
And…
[…]
[An error occurred.]
[The Tower of Trials is silent about your actions.]
The response the Tower chose was really simple.
「The Tower of Ordeal activates exclusive authority #A-088 [Restriction Correction] to correct some restrictions.」 「
Some of the restrictions of the special contract ordeal < Last Desire: White Crane Swordsman > are changed. 」
「The Tower of Ordeal activates exclusive authority #A-021 [Reward Revision] to modify the contents of the reward.」
「The level of the reward for the special contract ordeal < Last Wish: White Crane Swordsman > has increased. .」
Only then did I smile.
“Do you mean to appease now that you have no means of coercion?”
In fact, at this point, it is more like a request rather than a manual operation.
‘It seems that a lot of equipment restrictions have disappeared.’
Of course, the restriction on wearing equipment has not completely disappeared, but
it seems that one of the penalties of the ordeal, the restriction on the use of ‘inventory’ has been lifted.
In a word, it meant that you could enter the ordeal and use all the equipment you originally had.
‘It’s just the equipment side, but it’s changed to the level of mana.’
But there were parts that were still the same.
‘Doesn’t he have any intention of negotiating for all abilities?’
Currently, TOP is insisting on lowering all of my abilities to double digits.
However, it is not an incomprehensible level of obsession.
If my physical ability is maintained as it is, the balance will collapse.
‘But this is enough.’
Not even that.
The tower activates the exclusive authority ‘#A-021 [Compensation Modification]’ and the trial reward is calibrated.
It seems like they want to preserve all the restrictions on all abilities by adding corrections to the rewards
…
Anyway, it wasn’t difficult to regain power by using the transcendental myth < Absolute Immutability >.
“But…”
Then, what to do was decided.
“That’s not a bad offer.”
At best, if you can add modifiers to your rewards in exchange for all your stats, the gains will be clear.
“Then it wouldn’t matter.”
and.
「The Transcendence Myth < Absolute Immutability > is deactivated.」
Soon after, the Transcendence Myth < Absolute Immutability > disappears and the level of all stats is lowered by the Tower.
“The world creation for the special contract ordeal < Last Wish: White Crane Swordsman > has been completed.”
In an instant, the black space in front of my eyes regained its color and changed.
「The role selection is complete.」 「Challenger Han Seong
– yoon is assigned the role of < Guard Warrior > of the Shandong Baek Family
.」
the moment you put it.
“…”
I couldn’t help but frown.
“What is this again…?”
That should be the case too… 「You have achieved the achievement
‘
Enlightenment
.」
No matter where you turn your gaze, the river of blood that stains everywhere scatters the smell of blood.
Everywhere you can even hear screams, clashes of steel, or battle cries.
And that wasn’t enough, and the palaces built on the wide land were engulfed in fire and burning.
“…that’s fun.”
It’s nothing else…
“…is it hard mode from the start?”
…As soon as the earnest wish of the white crane inspection begins, it is put in a situation where it will fail.
