Closed Beta That Only I Played - Chapter 407 - It’s Thrilling to Break the Crystal Tower (1)

In other words, he completely took his hands off the quest by yielding the quest to me.

“After all, he wants me to break the Crystal Tower…”

This quest was simple. All I had to do was to break the Crystal Tower, and move on to the next level. That’s why the name of the quest was ‘Destroy the Crystal Tower.’

Anyway, I had already checked the information about the first 17 rounds from the leader of the Sayens Guild, so I went straight to the door in the middle of the cave.

Then a message rang.

[You have started Round 1.

-Once you start the quest, you will keep moving forward to the next round until you fail.]

Soon a large square room appeared, with a huge Crystal Tower in the center. A screen indicating the time of [05: 00] was floating over the Crystal Tower.

[In Round 1, you have to break the Crystal Tower in 5 minutes.]

“Ice Punishment!”

Bang!

Pasasasasak!

I had already grasped the situation about a week ago, so as soon as the message rang, I fired Ice Punishment towards the Crystal Tower, and it was immediately smashed to pieces with no resistance.

[You have cleared Round 1 in only one second.

-S grade. Additional points will be awarded later.

-You will move to Round 2 in 1 minute.]

“It was good that I came here after finishing the monster print.”

Even though I thought it regrettable to give up my accumulation rate, I had no problem proceeding with the quest first because my accumulation rate at that time was not too high.

Actually, I was a little worried over my decision.

Since I did it first, however, I could proceed with the quest when I was much stronger than before, which meant that I could proceed to a higher round, or perhaps to the final round.

With a satisfactory smile on my lips, I waited for a minute to pass.

In Round 2, too, a large crystal tower appeared in the center of the room, which was also the same size and shape as the one that appeared in Round 1.

However, there was a modifier in the description of the crystal tower this time.

[Very Firm Crystal Tower]

At the same time, a message rang, which announced I would have to break it within five minutes.

As soon as the message rang, I started my attack right away.

“Ice Spear! Multiple Ice Arrows!”

Puck! Puck! Puck! Puck!

I used Ice Punishment in Round 1 because I wanted to, but I realized that it was like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

Even though I was helped by the White Root, my Intellect increased by 9000 thanks to the 3000 stat point from Fragment III of the origin, the 50% improved monster imprint, and the blue ancient spirit trait that I activated this time. Besides, I enjoyed a 7.5% increase in the damage of all Ice-type skills due to the effect of my enhanced monster imprint.

As a result, my attacks were significantly more powerful than before because 9,000 intellect value and a 7.5% increase in the damage of all Ice-type skills is by no means a small number.

As expected, the crystal tower was shattered when I attacked it with only one round of Ice Spear and Multiple Ice Arrows, even though it has a fanciful modifier ‘Very Firm’ in its description.

The moment I smashed the tower, a message rang.

[You have cleared Round 2 in only two seconds.

-S grade. Additional points will be awarded later.

-You will move to Round 3 after one minute.]

It took me one more second than Round 1.

In other words, if I used Ice Breath instead of Ice Punishment which was still on cooldown, l could have cleared the round again in one second, but I didn’t have any regrets over it and waited for the next round to start as soon as possible.

For it didn’t matter whether it took me one or two seconds since I broke the crystal tower very quickly.

And the message also proved it by mentioning the additional points.

***

While Juyoung Hong was proceeding with the ‘Destroy the Crystal Tower’ quest, something was going on at a huge old mansion located in Bucharest, Romania in Eastern Europe.

A young man and an elderly man were talking about something inside. But the young man was sitting comfortably in a chair, while the old man was standing politely.

The old man opened his mouth.

“The hole is getting bigger and bigger.”

“Just leave it like that,” replied the young man nonchalantly.

Then the old man opened his mouth again.

“But if you don’t do anything about it, it’s going to affect not only Romania, but also…”

The old man could not finish his words because the young man interrupted suddenly.

“Then do you have any other solution? As you know, the hole will keep getting bigger anyway. And we can’t stop it even if we want to.”

“That’s right, but if we can get Asirante’s help, we can delay it a little longer…”

Slam!

As soon as the old man mentioned the name Asirante, the young man slammed the table hard. Then he opened his mouth with bloodshot eyes.

“Do you think Asirante can take revenge for me? Even if he does, I’m not interested in taking revenge by relying on somebody else. I’m going to kill that bastard by myself. He was once my uncle, but he killed my father, his elder brother!”

“…”

The old man could not respond to this furious young man’s complaint.

As a matter of fact, this old man had served his father for all his life, for whom the young man was determined to take revenge for by attacking his uncle. And he also agreed with this young man’s revenge plan.

“Got it.”

In the end, the old man answered, nodding at him slightly.

Then he said, “It’s about time you got ready.”

Hearing that, the young man glanced at the clock on the wall and stood up.

After that, the young man and the old man moved to the basement of the huge old mansion, then passed through several tight gates and arrived in front of a huge iron gate that nobody could imagine was located in the basement.

Squeak!

As if he had been to this place many times, the young man opened the huge iron gate easily, then went inside, leaving the old man behind to wait on the outside.

Then a huge space appeared before his eyes. Of course, it wasn’t empty.

But unlike normal flat terrain, there was a hole in the middle of this huge space. The young man quickly approached it, then just stood there without moving.

After that, the sound of something nibbling away at or colliding with something was heard.

However, the young man still did not move with a calm expression as if he knew already he would hear that kind of sound. At that moment, a blue haze began to emit from the hole in front of him.

Then a few minutes passed and the young man heard a message.

[You are now at the entrance of an alien world.

-The passage clashed with the fragments of the alien world while it was in the process of being connected to the Earth.

-You are affected by fragments of the clashed alien world.

: You have acquired 157 remaining stat points.

: You have acquired 681 coins.]

“Hehehe!”

The young man smiled at that message because the day was soon approaching when he could take revenge on his uncle Bogdan who killed his parents and took away Romania’s largest guild Shunad from his father who once led it. Moreover, this young man Karol was not satisfied with the message, and took out a sword that was materialized using reality actualization in his hand.
