Closed Beta That Only I Played

Chapter 408: It’s Thrilling to Break the Crystal Tower (2)

The young man smiled at that message because the day was soon approaching when he could take revenge on his uncle Bogdan who killed his parents and took away Romania’s largest guild Shunad from his father who once led it. Moreover, this young man Karol was not satisfied with the message, and took out a sword that was materialized using reality actualization in his hand.

Puck! Puck!

He pointed the sword directly at the hole in the ground as if he wanted to make that small hole bigger and faster.

Then a message rang suddenly.

[You are very close to the passage of the alien world.

-You have touched the fragment of the alien world while the passage is forming between o o o with the Earth.

-You are affected by the fragment of the alien world.

: Acquires 175 remaining stat points.

: Acquire 772 coins.]

“Wow! Alright, get bigger! Get bigger quickly and give me more power!”

Obviously, the message hardly rang before, but this time it rang in a row quickly, so Karol heartily laughed in satisfaction.

No wonder he kept wielding the sword while he was laughing loudly.

Puck! Puck! Puck!

Anyway, Karol tried hard to quickly enlarge the small hole, which was not big enough to be called a passage, without taking into account what would happen as a result.

***

As I kept progressing through the rounds, several types of crystal towers appeared including::

[Crystal Tower on the move.]

[Crystal Tower that gets stronger over time.]

[Crystal Tower that can only be damaged when all monsters defending it are removed.]

Some of the crystal towers had certain conditions required to be destroyed.

[The mission is to destroy all the crystal towers in the east, west, north, south and north within the time limit by breaking through monsters and traps.]

[The mission is to destroy the crystal tower by attacking during the time when your attack is available just like in the game of whack-a-mole.]

After all, the thing was I had to break the crystal tower to be able to clear the quest ‘Destroy the Crystal Tower.’ And I could clear all the stages easily, of course.

Those monsters defending the crystal towers couldn’t withstand my attacks properly, and the traps didn’t affect me at all because of Blink with zero cooldown.

Anyway, I kept progressing rapidly through the rounds.

[You are now S grade. You will receive additional points.]

Soon I was faced with Round 30.

[Round 30 starts.

– You have to break the real crystal tower among the three crystal towers in order to move to the next stage.

-The crystal tower that appeared this time is a very weak one. So you can destroy it by only damaging it a little.

– There is no time limit.]

As soon as the message was over, three crystal towers suddenly appeared. They all looked exactly the same on the surface.

Since there was no time limit, I used Fly and scanned it carefully from top to bottom.

“No, this isn’t what I want. I wish a monster could come out! This is only sheer luck!”

No matter how hard I tried, I could not find any difference. In other words, all the three crystal towers were the same.

Of course, I could not attack one of the crystal towers for a test.

“Oh my…” I let out a sigh unwittingly.

This was totally beyond my expectation. I would certainly have not been disappointed if some huge and tough monsters had appeared or if I had seen the type of crystal tower that was durable and sturdy enough to withstand my attack. If that was the case, at least I would know it was beyond my power to destroy them.

However, it really frustrated or even angered me to find myself relying on sheer luck against my will.

At that moment, however, something white appeared below me while I was still floating in the air using Fly.

Shuuuuuuuuuuung.

Even before I stepped in to block it, something white exposed its huge body and rushed towards the crystal tower, or more precisely, all of the three crystal towers.

Bang!

All three crystal towers were smashed all at once, so I could hear only one sound despite all of them shattering at the same time. But that’s not what was important.

“Hey! Why did you destroy all of them?”

I shouted at the White Root because I had to pick and destroy only the real one out of the three crystal towers. Of course, I didn’t rebuke the White Root anymore.

I shouted because I was so startled by the White Root’s sudden attack. In fact, I was helped so much by the White Root that I could not blame it just because it ruined the quest this time.

“Whew…”

Nonetheless, I had no choice but to have regrets.

Besides, the White Root, which became more plump and waved its body from side to side as if it was fun to attack the crystal towers, distrubed my mind a lot.

At that moment a message rang.

[You have cleared Round 30.

-You are now SSS grade. You will receive a large number of additional points later.

-You will move to Round 31 one minute later.]

“Uh?”

Of course, I expected a message about my failure would appear because I thought the other two crystal towers were fake when the message said there was a real one among the three crystal towers. As a result, when the White Root destroyed them, I thought not only the real one, but the fake ones were also destroyed.

So I had no choice but to shout, “You swindler!”

The administrator of this quest was clearly making fun of me.

Of course, there was no mention of there being fake towers in the crystal towers. The message only said I should destroy the genuine one.

But since the message stated that I should destroy the real crystal tower, I assumed that the other two towers were fake.

“Whew…”

I let out a sigh before I knew it, but my sigh didn’t last long because I cleared the round anyway.

So I had no choice but to approach the White Root that was still shaking its plump body, and exclaim, “White Root, great job! Hahaha!”

As soon as I said that, the White Root moved more excitedly as if it understood my words.

After that, I moved to the next rounds where I had to destroy the Crystal Tower That Got Stronger or I had to take care of the mission of killing all the monsters defending the Crystal Tower when my attack times were limited, but I cleared the rounds without any big difficulty.

For I could kill all the monsters within a very short time, or even during one second, as long as I didn’t confront an invincible enemy during the quest.

So I kept clearing the rounds one by one until I reached the final round.

[You have reached the final Round 50.

-You must destroy the real one among the six Crystal Towers to clear this quest.

-The Crystal Tower that appeared this time was very weak. You can destroy it by inflicting little damage.

– There is no time limit.]

In the end, this was a repetition of Round 30, so I had no choice but to agonize because I didn’t want to cheat.

“Well, the planner of this quest must have known that I cleared Round 30, but…”

For a moment, I had a lot of thoughts in my mind.

So I shouted, “Root!”

The White Root appeared right away as if it had been waiting for my call.

Then it charged at the crystal tower. After destroying the first crystal tower, it targeted the fifth and sixth crystal towers

Bang! Bang! Bang!
