chapter 24
24 – Butler doesn’t hide power (3)
Flash!
“It’s shining again…”
“How the hell did this happen?!”
The people at the bottom of the tower hummed in astonishment.
A blonde female professor looking at the scene,
Christina was also watching the Tower of Growth with an expression of disbelief.
‘It’s already the seventh.’
Less than two hours have passed since Leon and his party entered,
It was already the seventh time that light burst from inside the tower.
Forty years ago, a feat that even Duke Kaisel, who graduated from the Faculty of Knights after writing a legend, could not achieve.
How many compliments were poured out on his amazing power to break through the third floor in half a day.
Since then, no one has been able to break through the third floor on the first day.
No, the team itself that broke through the first floor on the first day rarely came out.
That tower is the supreme artifact built by the legendary great wizard Fruhi.
It is truly the best tutorial dungeon that only those who have proven themselves through constant effort can pass.
Because breathing with team members is also important, it is designed to take half a year even for those with great talent.
‘It must have been… … .’
It’s been over ten years since I started teaching at the academy.
I’m more interested in doing research than dating.
He became a professor because he liked teaching juniors more than exploring dungeons.
She, too, was a graduate of Prüch Academy who broke through the tower of growth.
A place where I spent my happy school days and made many friends.
I spent four years here at the Prüg Academy.
However, things that were considered common sense at the academy she attended were shattering in Christina’s head.
“how…….”
She couldn’t even finish talking.
Then, suddenly, the words Leon left behind came to mind.
ㅡIf the light bursts ten times, everyone will know.
ㅡ I’m planning to finish it all today. Aren’t you tired of coming twice?
‘Leon-kun, did you mean this?’
Cristina propped up her large breasts with her left arm,
He gazed at the entrance of the tower with his right hand supporting his chin.
A strange phenomenon that has never occurred in the history of the academy.
The moment everyone under the tower raises their own questions,
Flash!
Another bright light flashed from the tower.
“Again…”
“Not even thirty minutes passed, and it exploded again.”
“It’s the eighth already. Does this make sense?”
“Isn’t the Tower of Growth out of order?”
The current students who followed as mentors talk with a particularly serious expression.
Because they had the experience of climbing the Tower of Growth countless times, they had no choice but to distrust this situation even more.
As far as they know, Princess Laura’s status is heavyweight at best.
By average standards, it must be a high level, but it is not a superior level.
Also, I know that the daughter of Duke Kaisel is not a superior class.
If there is anyone who is expected to reach a similar level, it is Leon.
That red-haired young man was a senior who was looking beyond the superior class,
After blocking all of David’s attacks with the auto guard, he counterattacked only one and knocked him down.
However, no matter how Leon reached that stage, this was impossible.
If a superior level player could show such a performance,
Duke Kaisel must have shown it forty years ago.
Therefore, seniors and Professor Christina,
Merchants who have been doing business here for a long time were also making faces of disbelief.
“What the hell is going on inside…?”
“…”
No one could give a proper answer to the words of a merchant staring blankly at the tall white tower.
They were going crazy wanting to know what the hell was going on inside.
“No way… you’re not breaking the tenth floor, are you?”
However, in response to a student’s question, the seniors who came as mentors first expressed negative opinions.
“It can’t be.”
“Impossible. Even if I get to the top of the tower…”
“It’s not just wyverns out there.”
“yes?”
“We also heard from seniors who graduated, so we don’t know the details.”
The seniors who were watching the tower turned their heads and looked at the juniors with puzzled eyes.
“It is said that a special entity, a ‘dungeon boss’, appears on the last ten floors of the tower.”
“no way…….”
“If it’s the Wyvern’s boss object… it must be him.”
“There is only him.”
To the juniors who were making ominous faces, the senior with hair loss opened his mouth.
“Can they really be safe against him in the first challenge?”
*
Kwaaang!!
“Kreurreuk…”
The ground explodes. The trolls’ bodies are split in two with the blow I wield, and they slam into the wall.
Their corpses cluttered the air with green blood.
As I drew out the mana that ran rampant inside my body with my sword body, I blew stronger magic into the sword I was holding.
Then, as if on fire, the sword body began to burn roaring in the flames of magic.
Whole body fighting method
A technique created to defeat more monsters in battle.
A thread of blood devised to scatter more blood and more death.
Blood Demon Fighting
Saaa… … .
The burning magic power narrowed down along the tip of the sword and became a long thread coiling around my sword.
Whiririk!
“Blood Cheonjisa (血天漬絲).”
As the name suggests, it is the pinnacle of swordsmanship that stains the sky with blood by wielding a string of magical power.
The aura of destruction that was created to extract maximum efficiency with minimum magical power was scattered.
Chwaaagh
“Keukgeuk…!”
“Chwiaaa!!”
Troll corpses exploding one after another.
Ugo, blocking the green blood and corpse fragments with his shield, came towards me.
Then, with a polite, expressionless face, he brings out a profound low note.
“Leon. This side is almost finished.”
“What about the other two?”
“They, too, are almost finished.”
I nodded my head once as if I understood him as he spoke heavily like a bear.
I raised my sword and threw my magic again at the ten trolls who stood in my way.
Kwaaang!
After about five minutes had passed,
After dealing with the remnants of trolls in the corner, Miya and Princess Laura stopped by my side.
The two women speak as they brush off the green blood on their swords.
“Leon, it’s over!”
“I’ve been dealing with everything.”

Just in time, the last remaining trolls reveal their sharp teeth to us.
“Chwiaak!”
“Kurrr…”
At that moment, Miya threw out a thin sword that looked like a rapier like a beam of light, and pierced their necks in an instant.
Flash!
At the same time, the space where we were standing was again dyed with bright light.
Proof that you cleared the eighth floor of the tower where the trolls come out.
At that sight, Miya, Ugo, and Princess Laura smiled brightly.
At first, it was a very awkward face, but now it’s worth seeing.
As I recklessly swung my sword and moved forward almost destroying the dungeon,
I can still see him following me with a bewildered expression.
‘Now I just have to go up two more floors.’
Miya approached me in front of me thinking that there was only a little left.
“Leon, how was I?”
“Huh? Oh, you did well.”
“Right? Right?”
Miya smiles brightly and jumps in front of me as if asking for praise.
Looking at her, who had suddenly turned into a cute little sister, I remembered what had happened two hours ago.
Seeing my strength, she was shocked for a moment, but quickly returned to normal.
However, Miya doesn’t grumble like before, and has come to follow whatever I say.
It feels like seeing a little sister who listens well.
Miya’s reaction made me even more perplexed.
Usually, when a commoner butler like me takes out an Aura Blade, there are only two reactions.
One is to be too surprised to disbelieve,
The other is beyond distrust and jealousy.
Everyone I’ve ever seen in my life – except Catherine – reacted that way.
Of course, the swordsman Count Price, who came out bold as soon as he first met
There is also the case of the head of the knights, but they are the ones who knew that I was a sword master.
Sir Ferdinand found out while examining Robnam’s arm,
Count Price knew it when he saw that he had knocked down his son, Fleur.
Of course, it is said that the reaction cannot be general.
However, although Miya was extremely surprised, she neither distrusted my strength nor was jealous of me.

Just with the eyes of a swordsman walking the same sword path, he just sends me pure respect.
I can’t understand why he started to show me aegyo that wasn’t aegyo.
It would have been easier to deal with if she had reacted normally.
“Leon, Leon. Only the ninth and tenth floors are left now.”
“Uh… that’s right.”
“What’s next? After the troll, the ogre? What do you think Leon will come up with?”
“Well. I think I might be an ogre too.”
“Leon. When we get out of here, I’ll fight against you. Huh?”
“Look at the schedule…”
Actually, there was no such thing as a schedule, but I can’t think of anything to say, so let’s bring it up.
“I know there’s no such thing. Will you? Huh? Will you?”
“Well…….”
Also, it doesn’t work
Miya, who raised and lowered her heels in front of me, appealed for her cuteness.
Princess Laura was staring at him with disapproval for some reason.
“…”
Kwok-.
For some reason, it seems that the hand holding the sword has too much power.
“…Leon-sama. How about we leave right now?”
“Uh… that’s right. Miya, ugo. I’m going right away.”
“yes!”
“Ugo, I’m ready.”
I didn’t take a lot of time off because I was dealing with most of the monsters.
We simply drank some water and quickly stepped into the entrance to the old floor.
Then, before the eyes of the four of us, the fierce windswept plains revealed their majesty.
Ogres resting in groups on the plain stare at us as they suddenly appear.
Soon they raised a massive gigantic body as if they were hunting us.
Then, banging his fists like some kind of boxer, he thrusts his sharp fangs at us.
“Quaa…!”
“noisy.”
aaagh
“Kkeureueueugh!!”
I swung my sword as hard as I could, thinking that I wouldn’t give them a chance to cry.
An ogre that is a disaster for low-ranking knights and mercenaries who can’t handle magic well.
However, to a master level master who reached the pinnacle of magical control, it was also a monster no different from a troll.
“Blood Cheonjisa.”
Aww… … !
The thread of magical power shot out from the tip of the sword at one point pierced them,
Eventually, it takes the form of a thin whip and destroys the surroundings.
Pababat!
Leave the ogre running from the blind spot to the other three,
I quickly ran towards the ogre pack in front and cut them across.
Chew! Chow ah!
“Kreurreuk!”
“Kwaaa…”
Kung, Kung, Kung-.
Ogres with such a huge body fell down one by one,
After about thirty minutes, the ogres on the ninth floor were also cleared.
Flash!
ugh… … .
At the same time that the floor we were standing on was dyed white,
Before entering the tower, the bracelet Professor Christina gave me vibrated.
This is the third vibration.
That means it’s already been three hours.
It’s a bit slower than initially expected.
“It’s only been three hours.”
“It’s been three hours. I set the goal of clearing the 10th floor at this time, so it’s rather late.”
“By the way, breaking records is good, but what the hell is the reason for breaking through so quickly?”
As if she wanted to ask a question earlier, Miya tilts her head with a curious face.
To her question, I straightened my chest and answered with a very confident attitude.
“It’s a waste of time. I don’t think it’ll be bothersome to come back next time. More than anything, I’m getting hungry after using magic like water for the first time in a while.”
“Wow… this is a bit waking up…”
“Ugo, I agree.”
“I thought there must be a bigger reason.”
“What the hell did you expect? There can’t be such a great reason.”
Miya, Ugo, and Princess Laura looked at me strangely.
He moved his feet while answering with a nuance of what nonsense he was talking about.
“Anyway, we’re almost there, so let’s get going quickly, folks.”
While passing away their bewildered glances,
I threw myself towards the portal to the last ten floors.
