Chapter 198: Puzzle Inferno

[The puzzle is ready!]

[Difficulty: Super God-like]

The control window changed, transitioning to the puzzle screen.

But it wasn't your typical polyhedron puzzle that you commonly see in manual creations. On the screen, numerous types of games were listed, including those to be used in this creation. I skimmed through them.

Starting with the most basic ones.

A crossword puzzle that matches horizontally and vertically.

Pinball, Tetris, Find the Wrong Picture, Nonograms, Crossword, and even a Rhythm Game.

Furthermore, various other puzzles were displayed in small squares.

Altogether, there were 13 types. Flames added a fiery effect to the start screen of the puzzle.

[Are you ready to handle hell?]

I loosened the joints of my fingers.

The preparation was already done.

Yurnet.

White bookshelves fluttered around Yurnet.

[Ring!]

[Puzzle Start!]

[1. Cube Puzzle (Super God-like + Penalty)]

[27 x 27]

With 16-bit background music, the puzzle screen appeared.

On the screen, a sword that I was going to create was displayed in dots.

Shoosh, shoosh, shoosh.

The graphic of the sword began to rotate at an incredible speed.

Left left up down left left right right up left up down down right left left.

I quickly analyzed the pattern of the puzzle.

Left three times, right twice, up five times, down four times.

While looking at the pattern, I started calculating.

Theres no time to analyze leisurely. The penalty was about to be applied.

[Penalty Activated!]

[Curse of Blindness]

The game screen distorted as if it were splashed with ink.

I couldn't see anything. In that state,

[00:30:00]

30 seconds on the time limit. The timer started ticking.

I dragged the outside of the game window.

I couldn't see the map. But the calculations were already done.

Left three, right two, up five, down four, left two, right two, up two, down eight.

[Penalty Activated!]

[Curse of Acceleration]

[The timer is speeding up!]

The timer began to double its speed.

In no time, there were only 10 seconds left. The screen still showed nothing.

Even so.

I could do this without seeing.

I moved my fingers frantically.

[Puzzle Clear!]

[Time Taken: 14]

[Match Rate: 100%]

The first game was over.

Bubbling. 

The lava lake erupted violently with bright flames.

[Great!]

[The hellish flames of hell are about to dwell in the Primordial Forge!]

A huge magic circle was drawn on the surface of the lake.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The sound of a hammer striking an anvil.

I didn't look back. The second game was just beginning.

[2. Rhythm Game (Super God-like + Penalty)]

The initial screen of the rhythm game was appearing.

I placed my right hand on the five keys in the rhythm game.

With the 16-bit music playing, a message appeared.

[Start!]

Notes began to fall at a crazy speed.

Simultaneously, the penalty was applied again. This time, it was a blindness penalty as well. I couldn't see the side with the keys at all. 90% of the screen was covered.

[128 Combo!]

[Perfect!]

[Perfect!]

[Perfect!]

There's nothing you can throw at me that I cannot handle.

As long as I could gauge the falling speed and position, I could time the hits.

I hit hundreds of notes per minute perfectly. In the Super God-like level, it had to be perfect; even a minor mistake could greatly reduce the weapons quality.

[835 Combo!]

[Perfect!]

[Full Combo Achieved!]

[Great!]

[The purification of hell is embedded in the Primordial Forge!]

Whoosh!

A large flame sprang from the lava lake.

A dark red iron ingot floated above the lake.

Dark red steel. An exceptional metal is used to create the Five Sacred Weapons. Originally, it was made from a combination of nine ores, but this time, two more ingredients were added. 

With a Plop. The iron ingot sank into the lave, and the surface turned even redder.

Your skills have improved significantly.

Now, let's begin.

I replied briefly.

The next game continued.

[3. Tetris (Super God-like + Penalty)]

[Use Blocks: 5 types]

[Blind]

[Acceleration x3]

Immediately started. Blocks fell without a moment to catch a breath.

Half of the screen was obscured. I adjusted the shape of the blocks and calculated the lower part. I left gaps in a straight line while filling every space with blocks.

[1 Combo!]

[2 Combo!]

[3 Com.]

I cleared lines all at once.

[Tetris Clear!]

[Continuous Combo 15]

[Great!]

[Hells magic will be bestowed upon the Primordial Forge!]

After a flash on the lava, the magic circle turned red.

From the large magic circle, dozens of smaller magic circles were created in succession. Yurnet was performing the enchantment work. I kept my focus on the game.

[4. Pinball (Super God-like + Penalty)]

[Acceleration x3]

I moved my hand reflexively.

Just before it was about to fall, the steel ball bounced up due to the penalty. The steel ball moved across the field at the speed of a bullet.

A puzzle game of Super God-like level.

The difficulty of the puzzle itself was a challenge. But the bigger challenge was that the consecutive puzzles kept coming without a moment of rest. I moved my hands busily.

Sweat began to trickle down my body.

I think it's 5 minutes.

All 13 types of games were completed.

And then,

[14. Cube Puzzle (Super God-like + Double Penalty)]

[35 x 35]

The screen rotated.

Starting again from the beginning, with a slightly higher difficulty than before.

[Great!]

[The spirit of hell is embedded in the primordial forge!]

A flame, three meters in size, erupted from the lake.

After the flames subsided, a shining sword was placed in the air.

[15. Maze Finding]

[Time Limit: 00:30:00]

A convoluted picture resembling a spiral appeared.

A small ball was placed in the center of the picture. I moved the ball with my hand as if rolling it.

After passing through dozens of intersections, the ball escaped to the exit.

[Great!]

[The terror of hell is embedded in the Primordial Forge!]

Dozens of magic circles in the lake shrank and gathered together.

[Automatic Restoration (A) Enchantment Successful!]

[Special Bond (S) Enchantment Successful!]

[Strength Reinforcement (S) Enchantment.]

Whoosh!

Once again, flames erupted from the lake.

The leaping flames covered the unfinished sword.

Each time the sword was engulfed in flames, it vibrated intensely.
