Chapter 125 - Nightmare, 9th Floor (3)
Chapter 125: Nightmare, 9th Floor (3)
TL: Enuma Novel
Looking down at the million-strong army of monkeys.
I stopped time.
‘Insane…’
Ŵе̊ b̄ n̆ о v̄.е_l̄ E n̊ ū m̌а́
A number so vast that even “overwhelming” fell short.
Now, to think about what to do next.

Originally, earning the Golden Headband’s recognition must have been the intended clear route… but it had been destroyed, so that was out.
Was a clear even still possible?
If there was one method left.
Nothing came to mind other than killing all one million of those monkeys.
Е̂ň úm а̂. і̄d̊
Just like I had during the Floor 3 hidden.
Except back then I’d had that ridiculously, insanely overpowered tactical-nuke cannon with a 0-second cooldown.
Now I had nothing of the sort.
If I was going to do this, it had to be on my own raw ability.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Not a few thousand either, a fucking million…
It didn’t look remotely possible, but I had to try anyway.
Е̇ṅ ü mа. ĩ d́
At the moment, I was maintaining Radiant Incarnation.
I could move at light speed and had an invincibility buff active.
It was time to put Radiant Incarnation to serious combat use.
I released time.
And started to move.
The world slowed to a crawl, and the space around me warped.

As long as I could move at the speed of light, distance meant nothing to me.
In less than 0.001 seconds, I swept a full lap around the battlefield.
The monkey horde that had seemed endless did, of course, have an end.
Could I strike them directly in this state?
I try ramming into the monkeys on the ground at light speed.
But my body just rippled, scattered, and returned to its original form.
Ẁ ѐ b̈ṅо̇ v̊ él Ё n̊umӓ
My flesh itself had become light, so dealing physical blows was impossible.
‘Then what about skills?’
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Next, I tried using a skill.
I stop time and try Mental Concentration to cast Destruction Ray.
‘It works.’
Mental Concentration proceeded normally.
Еn u m а̌ . i̊ d̃
So using other skills was possible after all.
I canceled the concentration and tried the Aura Blade skill this time.
‘This one doesn’t work.’
Physical Type skills that applied to the body, like Aura Blade or Skin Hardening, didn’t function.

But Physical Type skills aside, Magic Type skills worked without limit.
My opponents had no way to hurt me.
Ŵ е́ b̄ṅ ôv̆е l_ Е̇n u m̊å
But I had every means of hurting them.
Which made what came next simple.
Whoosh!
Weaving through the monkeys at light speed, I unload magic skills in all directions.
Destruction Ray, Hellfire Eruption, Scorching Zone, Frost Mist, Flame Strike, Lightning Strike, Blade Storm, Fairy Light Bullet…
My cognition was tuned to light speed as well, so control wasn’t a problem.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
I was so fast that even Destruction Ray and Lightning Strike seemed to crawl out as slowly as worms once I’d cast them.
Hundreds of monkeys burst apart, one explosion after another.
I aimed my spells wherever they were packed the thickest.
Having run through one full skill cycle in what amounted to an instant of real time.
I stopped time, recovered Willpower, and thought.
‘…There really are too many.’
E ǹ ūma
Killing the monkeys, scarecrows in all but name, was easier than breathing.
But there were a million scarecrows.

Then a thought suddenly struck me.
What would happen if I used the Demon King’s power in this state?
While Radiant Incarnation was active, I took no damage of any kind.
Then the overload that the Demon King’s power put on the body…?
Ŵе̇b̌ ṅò ṽеl̀ Ӗ n ŭm̀ ӓ.
Wouldn’t that be nullified too?
‘Demon King.’
Keeping Radiant Incarnation up, I switched places with the Demon King.
– What a bizarre ability this is.
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
The Demon King, now in control of the body, chuckled as if amused.
He usually dismissed skills as feeble mimicry not worth even the husk of true magic, but apparently a legendary-grade skill was enough to pique even his curiosity.
Ёnüm̊а
Soon the Demon King began casting magic.
He sprays shards of ice in every direction, popping monkeys left and right.
I stopped time on my own at just the right moments, recovering Willpower as needed.
Even though he’d used enough power that his body should have been freezing over by now…
I didn’t feel the slightest strain creeping in.
Confirming my guess had been right, I felt a faint shiver of thrill run through me for an instant.

While Radiant Incarnation was active, the Demon King’s power could also be used without restriction!
– Heh heh.
The Demon King confirmed it as well and began rampaging in earnest.
Unlike skills, the Demon King’s magic had no Cooldown.
A colossal chill pulses outward, and blades of ice rage in a storm.
The monkeys were, quite literally, swept away.
Eṅ u̇ ḿ ä
More than a thousand seemed to have died in under a second.
Radiant Incarnation could be maintained for ten minutes.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Let’s see, if we conservatively swept away just two thousand per second at this rate?
Wiping them all out within ten minutes might actually be possible…?
Rmmmmmble-
Then a tremor rolled through the ground.
Е̊ ñ ûm̈а
Shit, what now?
The rocky mountain was suddenly splitting open.
What burst out of it was a black-furred monkey as huge as the mountain itself.
It looked even bigger than the Antlion boss from Floor 8.

It was the boss of Floor 9.
GRAAAAAAH-!
W̄е b̈_nо́ ve l Еnũ m̄а̇
When the boss monkey roared, heaven and earth trembled.
As if in answer, the other monkeys all howled in unison, and a dark crimson haze shimmered around their bodies.
Did it just cast some kind of buff?
The Demon King stopped weaving among the monkeys and rose into the sky.
Then the boss turned its gaze this way and opened its mouth wide.
Crackle-crack-crack-!
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
A sphere formed amid dark crimson sparks.
A massive beam shot out, just like when I used Destruction Ray.
We ignored it; there wasn’t even a need to dodge.
Struck head-on by the destructive ray, my body scattered for a moment like diffused light, then returned to normal.
But what was the Demon King planning, rising into the sky like that?
Shhhhhh-
Е̊ǹu m а̀
The Demon King began gathering cold.
Like when he’d taken out the Antlion boss and the Isolation Zone boss in a single blow…

Except this time, there was no end to it.
With the constraint of Overload gone, the Demon King began drawing in power without limit.
‘What the…’
I had to keep stopping time to refill that much Willpower in turn.
W ė.bnо̆ v̆ еl̃ Е n̂um̄a
I must have refilled at least several hundred thousand Willpower.
Enough that without Radiant Incarnation, the body would already have collapsed dozens of times over.
An unimaginably vast mass of energy condensed above the Demon King’s head.
– Behold.

The Demon King proclaimed.
– This is true magic.
Ěṅu m а
When he unleashed that colossal chill…
The world turned white.
Hwoooooooo-
A blizzard raged.
The monkeys froze solid.
The boss monkey, the small monkeys, even the rocky mountain split in two.
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
Everything in sight turns to grains of ice and scatters away.
As if the whole world had frozen over and met its end.
And so the million-strong army of Stone Monkeys was silently annihilated.
‘…’
I stared blankly down at the scene.
Words failed me.
Ё n ü m̈ а̇.і̆ d̈
Was this the Demon King’s true power?
– Do not be mistaken. Even this is a weakened form.
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
‘…This is?’
– I am not wielding the mana of my true body, so there are limits, it would seem.
So what, at full power he’d freeze an entire planet or something.
The difference was meaningless to me either way, so I just took his word for it.

More importantly…
The boss was dead, and there didn’t seem to be any monkeys left.
For a long while, no message appeared.
Did the clear not count like this? Or else…

I felt a wave of déjà vu from Floor 3.
The feeling that the Tower was holding its silence.

[Magnificent Clear.]
Then the message appeared.
[You have successfully cleared Nightmare difficulty Floor 9.]
[Absorbing the power of the floor.]
[Your level has increased.]
[Your level has increased.]

[Reward tier will be significantly upgraded.]
[Moving to the Reward Room.]

[Floor 9 has been cleared on all difficulties.]
[The Tower summons new climbers.]
I was moved to the Reward Room.
Only then did I take my body back and deactivate Radiant Incarnation.
Е n̂ ũm̀ а̌. і́ d̈
A Magnificent Clear had appeared.
The second one since the Floor 3 hidden.
So it could show up even when it wasn’t a hidden clear?
On Floor 3 I’d had the cannon to thank; this time I’d pulled off a cheat-tier clear with the Demon King’s power.

Either way, sweet deal.
I checked the upgraded reward.
Enûm̀ a. і̀ d
I’d half hoped a legendary-grade Skill Stone might come out…
But instead of a Skill Stone, I saw an item.
An hourglass filled with powder that shimmered in rainbow colors.
I picked up the hourglass and checked its information.
[Special Item: Hourglass of Acceleration]
Select one of the following effects to apply permanently. Once selected, the effect cannot be changed.
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
1. Reduce the Cooldown of all owned skills by 70%
2. Fix the Cooldown of one random skill at 0 seconds
Reading the description, I was stunned.
…An item that reduces skill cooldowns?
All of my skills? By a full 70 percent?
The effect was insane.
W.е̃b̂n ӧ vеl Еn u m̆ а
A 70 percent reduction meant I could cycle my skills three times faster.
Which also meant my combat power would triple. On paper, at least.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
And the other effect… fixing the Cooldown of one random skill at 0 seconds.
‘…This one’s completely broken too, though?’
If I chose effect number 2.
Even my one remaining constraint, the Cooldown, would vanish entirely.
Е̄n̈ ů m̀a . і̀d
For one single skill, that is.
What if Destruction Ray’s cooldown became 0 seconds?
Literally infinite Destruction Ray spam.
The catch was that it was random.
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
If it landed on some useless skill… say, a Normal-grade skill like Swing.
That would be like tossing a gem straight into the trash.
E n u ṁ a .і̌d
And landing on a sustained skill like Scorching Zone or Frost Mist wouldn’t mean much either.
The skills I have right now… how many is it?
Counting them up, minor junk skills included, it came to well over thirty.
The odds of landing on the skill I wanted weren’t very high.
And with anything probability-based, there was always the nagging worry that the Tower might rig it.
Playing it safe, choosing effect number 1 was obviously the right call.
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
But…
“…”
Radiant Incarnation.
What if this absurdly broken skill’s Cooldown became 0 seconds?
I would become, without exaggeration, invincible.
And I’d just confirmed that while in Radiant Incarnation, I could even use the Demon King’s power without restriction.
E nù mа_
If I could maintain Radiant Incarnation indefinitely, the ceiling on my power would blast off somewhere past Andromeda.
With thoughts like that in my head, picking number 1 right away felt like too much of a waste.

…There was no need to rush and use it this instant.
I tucked the hourglass into Subspace.

Reached Floor: Floor 10
“Whew.”
Anyway, Floor 9 was cleared.
I’d cleared Floor 8 only a short while ago, and I’d have to challenge Floor 10 again not long from now…
So there wasn’t much sense of accomplishment.
Not that I was in any position to savor that sort of thing anyway.

[Would you like to exit the Tower?]
I exited right away.
Time to deliver the good news to my worried family.

After Person123 posted his Floor 8 info thread.
People had been discussing when he would attempt Floor 9 as well.
E n̈_ú m а. і̇ d
[Caroli: he almost got wrecked once, so won’t he take on Floor 9 with more than 20 days to spare this time?]
[Gold: nothing says another gimmick like Floor 8 won’t show up again]

[Weed: my bet is he’ll announce soon that he’s giving himself like 100 days before the next attempt, yeah]
Even on Floor 8, the 20-day Time Limit had nearly run out on him.
The speculation was that Person123 would start challenging earlier from now on, precisely to prevent that kind of situation.
Of course…

No one could have imagined it.

That Floor 9 would be cleared mere days after Floor 8.
The world turned upside down.
