‘130 points?’
Seeing the number floating in the air, I doubted my eyes for a moment.
The 119 points I had recorded in Chapter 1 had been impressive enough, but this time I had somehow scored a whopping 11 points higher than that.
‘Can a score really go up this much?’
I briefly went over everything I had done in Chapter 2 in my mind.
First, I had invaded—no, visited the Namgung Family, famed as the orthodox faction’s most prestigious family, dealt with all its elite martial artists, and kidnapped—no, brought back its heir.
On top of that, I had created a true legend of the Blood Cult and made a secret pact with the head of the Namgung Family.
I had shown the martial power of the Blood Cult to the people of Eun (隱), the Demonic Cult’s intelligence agency.
And although it had not been intentional, I had even put on a levitation show, leaving a definite impression on the demonic side as well.
‘……Now that I think about it, I suppose 130 points is justified.’
Our Blood Cult had made a huge impact on both the orthodox faction and the Demonic Cult.
Bwahahaha, this is the Blood Cult!
I smiled in satisfaction.
Wooong—.
As the countdown ended, my vision turned white, and the familiar scenery unfolded before me once more.
My precious sweet home. My estate in the real world.
“This is…….”
Namgung Yeonhee looked around the spacious living room with an expression of disbelief.
Vrrr—.
A robot vacuum—perhaps one Aunt Suyeon had bought—was scurrying around the floor, and Namgung Yeonhee cautiously placed her hand on her sword hilt.
“A demon?”
‘……Yeonhee, Yeonhee.’
Well, she was from another world, so I suppose it could not be helped.
I told her, as she engaged in a battle of wills with the robot vacuum, that it was not a demon but a tool.
“Ah. So it is a dharma treasure from the Immortal Realm.”
Namgung Yeonhee now observed the robot vacuum with curiosity rather than suspicion.
I told her to stay there and walked toward the sofa.
Who do you think came back from the sixth floor~?
“This One has returned!”
I made my grand declaration and flopped down onto the sofa.
“Wow, True Ancestor~! We missed you!”
“Oh my. True Ancestor! You came back a little sooner this time.”
Suyeon and Ha-eun, mother and daughter, quickly came out to welcome me.
Aunt Suyeon smiled and naturally helped me out of my outer garment.
“Hehe. Did you eat lots of delicious food at the Tower again this time?”
“Mmm. I ate tons of hawthorn tanghulu. And I ate tangerine tanghulu too!”
I said proudly.
Aunt Suyeon praised me with a laugh, then suddenly her gaze fell on Namgung Yeonhee.
“By the way, who is this…?”
“Ah. She is a new servant! Introduce yourselves to each other.”
Namgung Yeonhee formally clasped her hands and bowed her head.
“It is a pleasure to meet you. I am Namgung Yeonhee, newly accepted as my master’s disciple.”
“Ahaha… Hello.”
“Whoa. Is this servant from the murim?”
Apparently, they had mistaken the two of them for my other disciples or perhaps senior disciples.
I gave a vague nod and gestured.
“Yeonhee, there is an empty room at the end of that hallway. Use it as your quarters.”
“Yes, Master. Thank you for your consideration.”
It was a room I had prepared in advance for Yeonhee.
But no matter how I assigned her a room, she would not be able to handle all the modern objects she was seeing for the first time on her own.
Someone needed to give her basic guidance from the side.
‘Normally, the youngest one, Dark, should do it, but…….’
“Dark, wait~ Now you can eat!”
“Grrr!”
I turned my head and saw Dark lying flat on his belly on the floor, catching the jerky Lili tossed and eating it.
After I came up with the spirit-beast enclosure setup to show the people of Eun, the two had somehow ended up like that.
I could not entrust the tour to Dark.
My gaze naturally fell on Sera, who was standing quietly.
“Sera. Show Yeonhee around the estate and teach her how everything works.”
“Yes, Master…!”
Sera approached Yeonhee.
“Um, you can come this way. I’ll show you around.”
“Yes. I look forward to your guidance, Sword Ghost.”
I had already given Yeonhee a basic rundown of the hierarchy among the servants, so she treated Sera with great respect.
When Yeonhee politely bowed her head, Sera’s face instantly turned red.
“Y-you don’t have to call me something so grand here…. A-actually, I’ve felt a little burdened by it all this time… ‘Sword Ghost’ is far too grand a title for me.”
“Pardon? Then what should I call you?”
“Just call me Sera…….”
Sera waved her hands shyly and added in a tiny voice,
“And the others, too. The Red Moon Blood Princess is Katarina, the Dark Shadow Assassin is Siyeon, and the Mad Blood Demon General is Lili.”
After that, Sera told her Dark’s name, as well as Aunt Suyeon’s and Ha-eun’s, one by one.
“Ah……! Your senior sisters’ real names…!”
Yeonhee’s eyes went round.
They were two truly adorable servants from the Tower.
Sera was in a similar position, so she would be able to teach Yeonhee properly.
I decided to leave that to her.
I went into my room, changed out of my qipao into something comfortable, and sprawled out on the bed.
Ahh, this is nice.
As expected, my room was the best.
I missed my smartphone, too.
I immediately picked it up and opened the Hunter Gallery app.
[Title: Is it true that True Ancestor got 130 points in Chapter 2 of Floor 6?]
[Author: ㅇㅇ]
People already went wild over Chapter 1’s 119 points, saying it wasn’t a human score,
but this time, 130 lololololol.
What on earth do you have to do to get a score like that….
- The Heavenly Demon got sniped out of first place again and is crying blood lol
ㄴ This is the spicy flavor of the Korean True Ancestor, punk
ㄴ Wow, my Korean pride is going wild….
- True Ancestor has reached the point where she no longer competes with other people in the rankings, but fights her own past records instead ㄷㄷ
ㄴ Floor 1 True Ancestor vs. Floor 6 True Ancestor—which one is more GOAT?
ㄴ Obviously Floor 6, are you kidding?
ㄴ You don’t know how wild things got when she cleared Floor 1 in one second? You’re obviously a freaking newcomer.
ㄴ What the hell are these guys doing lol
ㄴ Now they’re even holding a fan war over the True Ancestor herself lol
The gallery was, of course, in an uproar.
[Title: Why 130 points in Chapter 2 of Floor 6 makes absolutely no sense.]
[Author: Solo Warrior]
Chapter 2 of Floor 6 isn’t easy, since you have to make a name for yourself on both the orthodox and demonic sides.
You also have to walk a fine line, because if you cause too much havoc, you can be branded an enemy of the murim.
Unless you plan to take on the entire murim, that is.
How on earth did she do it?
I barely cleared it in the high eighties, so getting 130 points…. I genuinely can’t even imagine how she managed it ;;
- Is the True Ancestor a god?
- The Great True Ancestor
- At this point, is it even about the orthodox and demonic factions, or did she just create the Blood Cult? lol
ㄴ Blood Demon True Ancestor lol
ㄴ Nyangnyang Punch) ㅇㅅㅇ?!
……
The climber community was in the same uproar.
The other established users were naturally shocked as well.
‘Hehe.’
Looking at the reactions, the corners of my mouth twitched on their own.
After spending quite a while messing around on the forums, I checked my messages too.
The Heavenly Demon had sent me another private message.
[Sender: Heavenly Demon (天魔)]
[Content: You. When do you have time?]
‘Gasp?’
If the Heavenly Demon was asking when I had time,
could that mean another invitation to meet?
But we had met recently.
Had the Heavenly Demon been unable to stand it and sent another message asking to meet again?
‘The Heavenly Demon definitely contacted me after seeing the 130-point record…….’
Could it be that the Heavenly Demon wanted to compete with me forever again?
I quietly closed the message window and put off checking it.
Let’s think about it later.
Something much more important and exciting was waiting for me right now.
‘Good. Then now…….’
This was the moment I had been looking forward to most while tackling Floor 6.
It was time to use the enhanced [Servant Summon].
I recalled the enhanced option once more.
※ When summoning a servant in the True Ancestor’s estate, you can choose and summon the servant you want from among three options.
Originally, it was a gacha that randomly spat something out whenever I spent Blood Power.
But using it inside my estate—my sanctuary—made three candidates appear first, so I could personally choose one to summon.
“Phew…….”
I took a deep breath and called out the name of the skill in my mind.
Servant Summon!
['Servant Summon' is being cast.]
Fwaaaash—!
Then, three names appeared before my eyes.
These seemed to be the servants available for summoning.
But the names were somewhat unusual.
The first name was.
[The Alchemist Who Traps Starlight in a Glass Bottle]
‘Oh, an alchemist? Is it a production class or a magic type?’
Following Lili’s blacksmithing, this looked like a crafting-type servant who could make potions or magical tools.
I examined the second candidate next.
[The Hunter Who Walks Alone at the End of the White Night]
‘Is this one specialized in combat or tracking? It sounds pretty strong just from the name.’
It seemed highly likely to be a damage dealer or reconnaissance agent of a different type from Siyeon or Sera.
Both the first and second candidates were excellent options.
With anticipation, I shifted my gaze to the final, third candidate.
[The Witch Who Commands a Thousand Shadows]
‘A thousand shadows? A witch? Maybe she’s some kind of mage.’
I was just about to compare the three candidates and ponder which one to choose.
I noticed something unusual.
The names of the first alchemist and the second hunter were written in the ordinary blue system font.
But.
Only the name of the third servant.
Flash—! Flash—!
It was glowing a soft red.
‘……Huh?’
I blinked blankly.
‘Why is only this one’s name shining like that?’
