[Breaking the trap] quest.
reward for that rank.
It was a reward that was directly helpful for the next quest [Tournament].
Upon checking the inventory, a small mechanical device caught my eye.
[Kirnberg Rising Lever – 3rd Floor]
[Rating: Unique]
[Restriction: None]
[Effect: Obtain 9 points when used in tournaments.]
[Description: An ascending lever that can be used in the center of the Kürnberg Machine Tower. When combined with a mechanical device, you can climb the third floor at once. It looks simple, but it has a lot of technical skills.]
I can’t believe I can win 3 wins at a time!
[Tournament] Considering that the goal of the quest is 30 points.
The effect of the item was amazing in its own way.
But I wasn’t fooled.
‘Is this the only reward for solitude?’
What do you do with 9 points?
The team you will meet will be all 3 people.
Even if I gave them points, I was sure to forget them.
So I rolled my head.
…I will struggle until the end.
I won’t waste anything.
I’m going to bring everything I don’t have.
according to my motto.
It also means that you didn’t read the message in the description window roughly.
‘It looks simple, but a lot of technology is concentrated…’
If it were me, Lee Ho-yeol, a liberal arts major, I would have overlooked it.
Take a quick look at the mechanics.
I’m sure it’s more complicated than it looks and moved on.
But it wasn’t Grandfel.
If you open the magic book.
Even if you stay up all night, you have to see the end.
He doesn’t stop training until he’s exhausted when he picks up his sword.
Does Grandfel’s body just pass by after seeing this explanation?
“Interesting.”
It’s something that can’t happen.
It was.
I [Kürnberg lift lever – 3rd floor].
I didn’t use the item right away.
Stand upright on the machine.
It was in that position that he began to explore.
“Complicated circuit. Sophisticated technology that embodies him.”
Such was the talent and aesthetic sense of Grandfel.
“Awesome.”
I don’t know who the creator is, but this is really something out of the ordinary.
If it was a tolerable target, the search process would have ended quickly.
However, as I said, the lever was extremely complex and sophisticated.
There are dozens of types of minerals alone.
The design of each part is also perfect, giving goosebumps.
“It’s a great magic tool.”
End of long search.
I made that assessment.
I was so focused that my eyes were sore.
‘If there hadn’t been a bye win system, I might have been eliminated.’
I was distracted by the lever and couldn’t even counterattack properly.
But the talent was good.
Anyway, I’ve finished the search process.
Thanks to.
“I have been waiting for you.”
according to formality.
It is said that he is overflowing with confidence enough to say hello to the other person.
The source of that confidence?
Simple.
‘I have figured out the basic structure and circuit.’
It’s from a magical manifestation.
That the most laborious search has been completed.
From now on, I can interfere with the Kürnberg Machine Tower.
As if interfering with a rock that has completed the exploration process.
This means that it can interfere with the machinery in sight.
therefore.
“Looks like you have no intention of saying goodbye.”
I don’t know why you’re making that face.
He made a big mistake.
‘To refuse my polite greeting.’
Grandfell’s appreciation of the disrespectful courtesy.
My attitude towards quest rewards.
The moment when the two opinions coincide.
I had no hesitation.
raised the power.
Winning or losing is always determined by taking the cog wheel that floats in the center. I don’t know if it’s a fight, but isn’t it a game that ends when you take care of the gears?
The probability that I will lose after interfering with the machine tower area?
‘Can’t I just build a machine wall and take care of it?’
To be honest, I’m pretty sure there isn’t.
“…I will admit defeat.”
…But what is it?
Sudden surrender?
I was taken aback.
Is there any discord within the team?
How did you look serious from the start?
It seems that there is a situation, but it was not my business.
“I respect that decision.”
Even that mind will change.
I took the cog wheel.
Even up until then, I was dubious about it.
Knock-!
Wheein-!
Watch the opposing team’s contraptions as they descend.
It was only after checking the quest window that I realized it.
─Current Victory Points (Win: +3p / Lose: -2p)
1st Place: 18p
2nd Place: 13p
2nd Place: 13p
Reached the top spot with 3 points.
If you calculate the 9 points you earned through the [Kirnberg Rising Lever – 3rd Floor]… you
only have 1 win.
If I win once, I get 30 points.
I was able to pass the [Tournament] quest in first place.
[Currently searching for a suitable opponent team…]
[There is a ‘0’ opponent with the same victory point.]
[Waiting for the opponent team.]
Looking at the message that popped up, I thought.
‘Who won’t surrender again?’
However, the bye win was not enough, and the yard even took the victory by default.
If you want to eat more raw than this, you won’t have anything to say.
*
Two teams leading the way.
15p → 18p
15p → 13p
The moment their points reverse.
Those who were watching gulped——and swallowed their saliva.
“First of all, one team was the Rocks team, right?”
The Shining Master Rocks.
Their teammates, including Rocks, didn’t stream or personal stream.
The fact that they became joint leaders became known the moment the 4-win groups faced each other.
“I thought my heart stopped then!”
Rocks’ sense of intimidation was vividly conveyed from the opposing team’s field of view!
2nd place in player rankings.
A few level 400 players.
When such rocks appeared.
Those watching couldn’t help but be excited.
-But if there is Camilla, there will be Rocks hahahaha
-I envy the Rocks team members Seriously hahahahahahahahahahaha
As if there is no express bus like that, the bus
lives up to that expectation.
Rocks showed an overwhelming performance and won the cogwheel.
Even if the balance system hit the average level applied.
It was the group that stopped Rocks.
“Hehehe. It’s really worth the experience. Rox.”
The higher the absolute level.
Arcana’s system in which the experience required for leveling up increases exponentially.
It was only natural that there was a difference in skill as much as the amount of experience.
“If you look at the members of the top teams, come on! Each one has a top ranker. Rox Camilla and our South Korean player Nam Tae-min!”
Yes, as long as there is a balance system.
It would be impossible to strike a perfect balance.
So, expectations were bound to rise.
“Then, the other team must be Lee Ho-yeol’s side, right?”
The overwhelming force displayed during the Demon Lord Dekaravia raid.
There were some who predicted Ho-yeol’s level based on his performance.
However, there was no opportunity to accurately gauge the level of Ho-yeol as much as this time.
Knock-!
“…the mechanism is starting to come down!”
A confrontation with the single leader.
Who would have lost?
What appeared in the middle of the focus of attention.
“Rox?!”
It was Rocks.
The Rocks fell to the 13-point group that recorded the loss.
Questions from the opposing team poured into Rocks.
“That’s right, Lee Ho-yeol was up there!! Right?!”
“Is Lee Ho-yeol right? Someone must have seen it.”
“…But why are all the expressions like that?”
A lot of experience accumulated as much as a high level.
It meant that I knew more than anyone else.
To see as much as you know.
Rox’s shock did not go away easily.
‘I was definitely alone.’
Rocks evaluated himself coldly.
Can I face three players by myself?
No, that was impossible.
A balance system doesn’t exist?
Rocks wanted to ask.
‘That means there is an appropriate level in the rift.’
[Cracks in the Kürnberg Machine Tower].
The appropriate level was a whopping level 400.
Besides, here.
The proper level in the center where the tournament was in progress was 450, which is higher than that. Most players couldn’t even dare to step in.
‘Must be at least level 300…’
No, that was a very low figure.
Even so, Rocks couldn’t shake off the shock easily.
That’s it.
‘Then, no matter how low Lee Ho-yeol’s level is…?’
It was a sound equivalent to at least level 900.
Right after the Demon King Dekaravia raid.
It was Rocks who predicted the level of Ho-Yeol to be level 700.
Thought I never underestimated it.
‘Even if I fell behind, I was far behind.’
It’s level 900.
It was a number that I did not dare to think about catching up with.
Compared to Ho-yeol, I don’t have a chin.
Because he was one of the top rankers.
It was because he knew the effort to raise one level.
Is that why?
I began to understand Ho-yeol’s actions so far.
Heaven and earth, infants alone.
An attitude that was always full of confidence.
Mental strength that lightly ignores the status quo of demons.
Brilliant skills whose names you don’t even know.
last time a little while ago.
– I’ve been waiting for you guys.
Even the greetings that were handed over casually.
‘…I didn’t think it was strange.’
Considering Hoyeol’s level, everything was natural.
Realizing that fact rather refreshed my head.
‘The bigger the goal, the better.’
I finally felt like I had taken off the clothes that didn’t fit.
‘Since when did I look down on others?’
Yes, I always came from the bottom.
when climbing from the bottom.
An underdog who is more motivated.
Rox’s eyes changed.
“It might be too early to give up, though.”
“…yes?”
“The rule is to get 30 points first.”
There was a huge wall called Hoyeol above.
There’s no law that says you have to break down that wall.
Because I was able to get the same 3 points even if I defeated the other team.
Did he understand what Rox meant?
The team members also came back from shock.
“…Yes! Because Lee Ho-yeol has no choice but to wait!”
at least one team.
Until the opposing team achieves the same number of points.
Ho-yeol will have no choice but to stop and wait.
Rocks intended to use the system.
Rocks grinned at his teammates.
“Aren’t you embarrassed? We are the only ones who feel Lee Ho-yeol’s fear.”
“Right. I couldn’t put it into words. That’s…”
“How do you say hello in that situation…!!”
That’s right, the winning point is the point of winning at least 27 points.
It was from when there was only one win left.
‘I need a strategy.’
The moment Ho-yeol faces the team that won 27 points.
They also face another team that won 27 points.
Get the victory before Ho-yeol.
Achieve 30 points before Hoyeol.
‘This is the easiest way. No, there is no other way.’
I hope to win in the confrontation with Ho-yeol.
Coordinating the points of the other teams seemed easier.
Rox raised his sword.
“Oh no! Mr. Rocks. We don’t intend to fight at all…!”
I just asked a question, but instead of answering, he pulled out his sword.
Although the puzzled players waved their hands.
Rocks didn’t shake at all.
‘This is the last chance.’
Now that I have guessed the level of Ho-yeol.
It was Rox who realized that competing with Ho-yeol was meaningless.
No matter what kind of crack or what kind of raid it will be in the future.
It would be impossible to show greater activity than Ho-yeol.
‘Perhaps the last chance to get ahead of Lee Ho-yeol.’
Pat—!
You can’t miss that precious opportunity.
Rocks rushing towards the cogs.
But Rocks didn’t know.
You can get 9 points at once.
The existence of the [Kirnberg Raising Lever].
What does such a ho-yeol need?
The fact that it was only 3 points.
and the same time.
“You must have worked hard to come up, but I’m sorry.”
The fact that Ho-yeol got the last gear!
.
.
.
As I was confident, I won an easy victory.
Blocking player movement with mechanical walls.
I easily put the cog wheel in my hand.
“…Ho Ho Yeol. Lee Ho-yeol, are you alone?”
“Yes.”
“How could I come here alone…?!”
“Formula and procedure are laws that must be followed.”
“?!!”
You’ve resisted before.
Again, the players didn’t run wild.
Even if I couldn’t see it, it was just the same expression as if I saw it.
‘Anyway, the result would have been the same.’
Even if he ran wild, he wouldn’t be able to break down the machine wall.
It was no different from an alloy wall made up of dozens of minerals.
It is incomparably harder than a stone wall.
21 points with this.
I didn’t hesitate.
[Kürnberg Raising Lever – 3rd Floor].
coupling the lever to the mechanism.
Knock-!
Let’s pull the lever.
Woo woo woo-!
The mechanism began to rise at an alarming rate.
At the same time, the quest window flickers.
[Quest: Tournament]
A platform that moves according to victory or defeat.
Be the first to reach the upper floor by winning 30 victory points.

[The conditions have been met.]
…By the way, how long will this be faster?
What is a gyro drop?
How high and how fast does it rise?
It’s almost deafening, is this?!
Of course I admired it, but I didn’t express it.
“It is the essence of brilliant technology.”
…Yes, it’s better to brag than to vomit.
That was while I was thinking about it.
Soon the landscape began to change.
“!”
Like looking out through a window.
I saw the scenery outside the Kürnberg Machine Tower.
The sight was, as expected, [『Eccentric』].
But I knew
strange sight.
But that’s reality and arcana.
It’s a mixture of two worlds.
So I realized.
‘…Is that the Arcana Continent?’
Cheol-min Nam, Hakuna, Yi-seol Baek…
The reason why demons were infested in reality.
At that moment, the quest window flickered.
