How the Regressed Munchkin Chews Up the Tower - H.R.M.C.U.T Chapter 4 (Part 2):

Among the skills Yujin mastered in his first run, the highest-grade one—the one powerful enough to tear even the Apocalypse to shreds.

“『Dragon Hunt [A]』.”

A skill that should’ve been unleashed through a sword now manifests through Yujin’s fists, revealed once more to the world.

*Bangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbang-!*

Hundreds of blows per second.

Like a meteor shower raining down, Yujin’s fists hammer relentlessly onto the dragon’s head.

Each strike carries devastating force, tearing scales like paper and shattering its skull like glass.

How much time passes?

Yujin leaps off the dragon’s collapsing head.

*THOOOOOOOM-!*

As the massive body crashes down, dust rises from the shattered ground where Yujin lands.

“*Hack- ptoo!* Seven minutes, my a*s. Didn’t even last one.”

From head to toe, Yujin is drenched in the blood spurting from the dragon’s crown. Spitting, he steps through the air and stops in front of Didaskalia.

“Hey, looks like there’s still plenty of time left before your deadline. Got anything else to summon? Hurry up, don’t waste my time.”

*Flinch-.*

Didaskalia trembles as if facing a demon, backing away from Yujin.

“You…”

Something’s wrong.

Sung Yujin is no ordinary player.

As an administrator, it needs to take appropriate measures immediately…

“What? Are you trying to fight me yourself this time?”

Yujin’s eyes bore into the depths of Didaskalia’s soul.

Madness? Rage? Ecstasy?

Who knows.

What are the emotions swirling in that gaze?

Even Didaskalia, who’s lived countless eons, can’t decipher the chaotic vortex of feelings raging within.

“Sure, why not. But you sure about this? Think you can take me?”

In terms of the 【Akasha System】’s levels, an administrator would be around 300.

A realm no one but Yujin reached in his first run.

Administrators are *that* strong.

But at the moment the world ended, Yujin had hit level 350.

And the levels he gained as a reward for killing the Apocalypse? He couldn’t even count them.

Didaskalia?

Honestly, Yujin is certain he could kill this thing in under five minutes.

“…No way, Player Sung Yujin. Administrators don’t usually fight players unless absolutely necessary.”

Perhaps sensing this faintly, Didaskalia waves both hands with a nauseating smile.

“Still, I’m a bit curious. Who *are* you, Player Sung Yujin? How did you gain such power? And why is the 【Akasha System】 hiding your information?”

It still gets its last word in.

It must’ve instinctively realized Yujin won’t harm it.

‘Tch.’

Yujin clicks his tongue inwardly.

He desperately wants to kill the bastard.

Every single one of the Tower’s administrators is a crazed, psychopathic lunatic.

How many players died because of their sick games?

Killing this bastard here could save thousands, maybe tens of thousands of lives.

But…

‘It’s a shame I can’t do that right now.’

Killing Didaskalia would be easier than flipping his hand.

And then what?

Another administrator would surely come to punish him for daring to slay one of their own.

And once the 『Lantern of Life [S]』’s time runs out, Yujin wouldn’t stand a chance against them.

It’d be a dead end.

“What’s it to you? If you’re so curious, go ask the 【Akasha System】 yourself.”

He’s certain it won’t give an answer.

If it was going to, it wouldn’t have hidden Yujin’s data from the administrators’ eyes in the first place.

But the 【Akasha System】 went out of its way to shield Yujin’s information, even blinding the administrators.

It almost feels like it’s showing him favor.

Though he still has no clue why.

“I’ll look into that myself, Player Sung Yujin.”

Still shaken and confused, Didaskalia forces a calm response.

It probably thinks it’d be embarrassing to lose its dignity in front of the players.

To Yujin, it’s laughably pathetic.

“Yeah, you do that.”

Yujin deliberately shakes his hands, splattering the Death Dragon’s blood onto Didaskalia.

“What do you think you’re doing?!”

Didaskalia recoils with a displeased expression, widening the distance further.

“What, you got a problem? Come at me then.”

With a *snicker-*, Yujin turns away.

“Coward. Anyway, I’ve got unfinished business to wrap up.”

Ignoring Didaskalia’s attempt to say more, he plummets downward.

*Whooooosh-.*

His destination: the Death Dragon’s head, still tenaciously clinging to life despite leaking brain fluid.

*Crunch-!*

Stepping on its neck, the sound of its spine snapping echoes.

It’s a 90th-floor boss, yet before Yujin now, it’s as fragile as thin ice.

A little pressure, and it shatters with a *crack-*.

“You were such a pain back then.”

It probably took him about two weeks, risking his life, to defeat this thing.

Even then, he barely survived by beheading it at the last second.

Recalling that memory, Yujin’s expression hardens.

“Don’t feel too wronged. Even if it wasn’t here, you were fated to die.”

On the 90th floor, by Yujin’s hand.

*Hummmm-.*

『Dragon Hunt [A]』 activates once more.

The mana, known as the bane of dragonkind, wraps around his hand, spinning like a whirlwind.

“Just think of it as dying a bit early.”

Even as it gasps for breath, the Death Dragon radiates ferocious killing intent. Yujin’s hand plunges into its head.

Its torn scales and shattered skull can’t stop him.

*Splat-!*

Like slicing through tofu, Yujin’s hand reduces the Death Dragon’s brain to mush.

And with that—

■ You have triumphed in battle against the Disaster-class boss, Death Dragon of Radiant Heaven: Darkness.

■ Level Up ■ Level Up ■ Level Up

■ Level Up ■ Level Up ■ Level Up

■ Achievement 『Strongest Newbie』 unlocked.

■ Achievement 『No Such Thing as Impossible』 unlocked.

■ Achievement Reward: Trait 『Divinely Blessed Body [S]』 granted.

“…Hell yeah! That’s what I’m talking about.”

The gamble paid off.

And it hit the jackpot.
