The Tutorial Is Too Hard Chapter 178:
He who introduced himself as the Olphol group devil reactivated the magic circle .
The destination he came from .
[Just kill him . ]
I asked the holy play the reason .
Why?
[Just cause . ]
This guy probably needed more probation .
Althought it didn’t seem right to put him in the inventory right away .
Instead, I decided to lock him in the inventory for a good one or two months .
In time, the devil completed the activation and gestured to me .
“Come and stand on the circle . Newbie . ”
What reason was there to hesitate when they wanted to summon me to their base .
I walked to the circle and stood on it .
[It might be a trap, hero . What are you going to do it isn’t a teleportation circle . ]
It’s a teleportation circle .
[How can you be sure?]
I’ve rode it before . Twice .
[Normally you can’t confirm the type of the circle by riding it twice . What are you going to do if it doesn’t head to their base and somewhere dangerous . ]
It’s fine . If it is, then I can cancel the teleportation . If I do, it’ll send me back to this place .
[…is that possible?]
It was .
I tried it the first time I rode the magic circle with Serezia .
Because of that, the sickness that overcame Serezia from activating the circle three times in a row was tremendous .
Back then, Serezia acted as though there was nothing wrong with the magic circle .
Not knowing it was me that caused the issues with the circle .
The demon spoke before he activated the circle .
“Newbie, I’m saying this for your own good, but listen closely . Do not be rash in front of Olfon . It’s not as though there were demons who tried their hand at the Demon King’s seat, and it wasn’t a small number that was brought forth before Olphon . There will be dire consequences if you show arrogance believing in your magics . ”
“What kind of consequences?”
“Well . Who knows, but where you’ll be headed is down instead of up . ”
What the **** does that mean .
Is it some sort of ambiguous expression .
“Newbie, your goal is probably to challenge for the seat of Demon King . ”
“If you want, you could put it that way . ”
“The one you will meet now has already been on the Demon King throne . ”
My questions weren’t fully answered yet, but the demon started the magic circle .
The space in front of my eyes warped .
The space shook here and there and at a certain point, it started to rip with a certain starting point in the air .
Like a paper ripping, the space ripped .
Past the ripped space, I saw another space .
From the crazy amount of mana flowing out, I knew it was the place Olphon was at .
[It’s not a teleport circle?]
“…It’s possible . ”
“What is . ”
The demon responded to my embarrassed soliloquy to the holy sword’s words .
“No . It’s nothing . ”
[Hero . Hero? That’s not a teleport circle? It’s a dimension gate? Didn’t you say you knew from just seeing the magic circle? Wow, world . I wouldn’t know in my dreams . That the all-knowing hero would make a mistake like this . Hah, if you live for a few centuries things like this happen after all . Fu . Fu . Fu . Fu . ]
Leave it at that .
[Eebebebe . ]
I promised to find a silence enchantment scroll after I clear this floor .
And passed through the gate with the demon beside me .
Once I passed the gap in space, the ripped space healed itself .
It looks like a great high-level magic .
How long would it take me to learn that .
My thirst for magic is continuing to become larger .
It was then, a voice from a distance in front of me could be heard .
It was the words of the demon sitting at the head of the table in this banquet-like hall .
Numerous demons were filling the space .
Unusually, there was no different in height of the seats the demons were sitting on .
89 demons exactly .
Each one had a strength that would be hard to find elsewhere .
But from the presence of the demon at the head of the table made everyone else seem small .
“Welcome, newbie . ”
It was monotonous and soft .
The voice wasn’t loud either .
Rather, it was quiet .
But the strength carried by the voice, the mana gave it that presence .
The demon talking to me was sitting at the same level as me, but his presence felt as though it was above my head and also behind me .
“You have a cute magic sword . ”
“Didn’t your mother tell you that it’s not good manners to listen in on other people’s conversations?”
The mood in the banquet hall completely changed at my words .
It went past intimidating and became outright **** .
That’s no good for banquets .
It felt as though I made a mistake in ruining the mood .
“You know nothing about me . ”
‘Was there a reason I had to?’
The mood started to attack my body outright .
The sense of the mood ready to cut .
If it was a normal human, they would’ve actually been cut to pieces and died .
“I was born in the third class, in the depths of despair . I have no mother and father . I was born alone, existed alone, and prove myself . ”
Prove oneself by existing alone .
Would that be enough to prove oneself as a sentient being .
Self-respect is just self-respect .
There was something more important .
The demon in front of my eyes was born with an advantage from birth .
“So that means you’re immune to mom-jokes . That’s good for you, mate . ”
Kwang!
The mood exploded .
The demons exuded intimidating force at the same time, and from that clash came an explosion .
I thought to myself as my hair was flying back in the wind from the explosion .
It wasn’t something I should be saying when I blew up the 30th floor from experimenting, but to cause an explosion by not being able to control that .
What idiots .
The demons were screaming and denouncing something about me .
Unfortunately, I couldn’t understand the words .
Whether it was colloquial that demons here used, or ancient words of the demon race, but it didn’t translate well .
But thankfully I could guess at what it meant .
After some time went by, sitting at the head of the table, Olphon opened his mouth again .
Olphon’s face didn’t seem that angry .
The only thing I could fathom was weariness .
“From the report, I thought a great magician appeared . But what really appeared was an idiot with a rare magic sword . Talk, newbie . What fuels your stupidity?”
Magician .
He must’ve thought I was a battle magician controlling the sword through magic .
Then once he realized the ability was fully from the holy sword, been disappointed .
And the magic and strength he can feel from me wouldn’t be enough to satisfy him .
That’s always the problem with these idiots .
“Out of those that I’ve called here, there were many who truly wished to challenge the Demon King . There actually was one that was able to challenge the Demon King . But what are you . I have no idea what you are thinking by coming here . What is your purpose in coming here . Do you wish to die, or are you just raving with madness . ”
What I want .
Well .
“For now, it’s taking care of the Demon King . ”
“Your jokes are no longer funny . It’s impossible for you to kill the Demon King . It’s true for anyone else for that matter . ”
“impossible to kill the Demon King?”
“Yes . ”
Impossible to kill the Demon King .
Would the Demon King be immortal or a mind-form or that sort of thing .
I asked Olphon who was strangely good at describing things .
“Just like the words, it’s impossible to kill the Demon King . ”
What kind of stupid answer is that .
“The current Demon King is the strongest of all time . That is true . I can assure you . Before he ceases to exist, there will be no demon who can trump him and take the throne of Demon King . ”
“A stupid answer till the end . ”
“Why do you think so?”
Why do I think so?
I’m calling a stupid answer stupid, what else can I call it .
“You all are always like this . You think that’s everything probably because you’re born with unimaginable strength and power . ”
“…What does that mean?”
“You have no interest in figuring out how to use that power better, and just ponder how to achieve more power . And . ”
“And?”
“You overtly trust the absolute amount of power . ”
The strength of the demons here surpasses mine .
It wouldn’t be comparable even if 89 Lee HoJae’s were here to fight the 89 demons .
89 Lee HoJae’s wouldn’t be enough to surpass that one Olphon .
That sort of glaring difference .
But .
I’m already certain .
I’m the absolutely the strongest one here .
The position isn’t made by my muscles and mana .
It wasn’t from the experience of swordsmanship and shield techniques either .
It also wasn’t the talent and sense I had .
What could you see as the standard for strength when those with the strength by which one wave of the hand fells the sky, and rips the earth .
To standardize it through the absolute quantity of mana was a stupid thing to do .
From my perspective, an objective standard should be victory .
A higher win rate means more strength .
The strong doesn’t win, the victorious is strong .
As I’ve said multiple times, I’m unwaveringly the strongest here, and the probability that I’ll beat the demons there surpass half .
“It seems you’ve really come here to die . ”
As I gathered my spirit, Olphon said upon noticing .
He was that nonchalant even though I’m explicitly preparing for battle .
He doesn’t know how to utilize this strength, and have never learned how to see true strength because he’s been drunk on his own strength .
He couldn’t even become the target of my Opponent Designation skill .
Just prey with bulky amounts of strength ready to be hunted .
How long will they disappoint me .
“Let me ask one last thing . ”
Demons are hurt by explosions caused by magic .
Obviously, they’re not hurt by explosions caused by their own .
Just like a moment ago .
But they were grievously wounded by the explosion made by the holy sword and me .
Physically and mentally .
It’s probably because of the Holy energy in our mana .
The holy energy exploded in every direction along with the explosion and attacked them .
I had prepared something nice for the explosion .
Before I entered the 31st floor, I made a sphere of aura .
I had slowly rotated and maintained that .
Even this moment .
I added a sphere to that every day .
There were three spheres rotating above my head .
“What is it that you wanted to ask before your death?”
I smirked at Olphon’s still nonchalant voice .
“Are you used to pain?”
I’m **** used to it .
At the same time as my words ended, the transparent spheres lit up in white flames .
Just before the spheres rotating at high speed started to create friction and explode, I gave up confining it .
[The God of Light is excited!]
And I lunged at the demons .
Boom!
From the strong explosion behind my back, my body was covered thoroughly in the impact .
I persevered .
I saved my blink .
Instead, I used Talalia’s wings and Fortitude .
The two skills raised by stats relative to the opponent’s strength .
The demons couldn’t gather their senses amidst the continuing explosions .
The strong light and sounds quashed their sight and hearing .
The holy energy mixed with mana pouring down upon them was no different from white phosphorous shells .
I took out the soul sword on my side .
Meanwhile, the magic initiated by demons that came to their sense blocked my path .
Shield, Barrier, Trap, Hallucination, the magic that binds my legs, and attack magics made to intercept filled vision in disarray .
Just like a barrage game .
I’m insanely good at this .
[Hero, can I join in? Please, Please!]
“Take care of the little ones! The ones in the middle are all mine!”
The holy sword went around the magic and towards the demons in the corners .
Before I lose my pretty to the holy sword, I need to make it past these magics .
Rather than taking a step backwards away from the magic flying towards me, I ran forward .
