Stuck in The Tower

Chapter 169 The Last Test

The fantasy continued.

Maybe it’s a daydream.

As the accident accelerated, I felt the events and emotions that had occurred at the time, and my body reacted by itself, and cold sweat flowed down my back.

The day I first entered the tower.

It was the day when I was working as a porter and got caught by the damn gangsters and ended up together.

Top 1st floor. It’s funny now, but at the time, he lost his life to goblins.

“It was brutal even then.”

When the memory of the trap section that I experienced on the 3rd floor reflected, I was thirsty and swallowed a dry saliva.

now i know It’s really a tutorial.

Kindly, there were pitfalls that were clearly visible in the space that stretched out in a straight line.

The traps I experienced afterwards were hard to notice even though they had powers.

Things that were made with malice or nothing else.

Then he met the Orc chieftain.

I went through the boss of the 9th floor where I couldn’t guess where the true power was.

When I first met Oh Ji-hyeok.

After that, the difficult attack and the moments of crisis passed.

It was a series of struggles, but there were moments when the corner of the mouth went up in the middle.

Memories that were blurry become clearer and my head clears up again.

Humans were animals of oblivion, and after going through particularly intense events several times, their emotions and sense of crisis became dull, and they set similar standards even when dealing with humans following monsters.

Only 40 floors.

Even before being summoned to the tower, I heard that it was Akbari, but now it’s worse.

It’s to the point where I can feel that I’ve completely stepped into the hunter world.

A little lingering and frustrating, but accepting things.

Moments of finding hidden pieces and digging through dungeons and ruins.

I felt pretty good about myself.

[Strategy – Best]

[Challenge Awareness – Good]

[Bonding with NPCs – Good]

[Combat Power – Best]

[Survival Rate – Impossible]

[Destruction Understanding – Medium]

[Personal Growth Rate – Best]

[Power Utilization Rate – Best]

[ You are climbing the tower wonderfully!]

The system judged similarly.

I’m not sure what the index of destruction comprehension is.

Apparently, the fact that the tower is related to the destruction of the world also seems to be an important point.

The background of the world that was everywhere in the field and the traces of those who perished were the beginning, and the NPCs I met later and the things I heard from Seong-mo Choi, who had a relatively recent fight.

I may know a lot more than other people, but I still don’t know the identity of the tower, its purpose, or the criteria for destruction.

You’ll find out before you get to the 60th floor.

If the heads of large guilds found out, I could find out too.

[The grade of your power is too high.]

[There is a limit on upgrading the grade.]

[The grade of unfinished powers does not increase.]

[The test begins.]

[Coins are not deducted even if you die during the test.]

The illusion is turned off and a guide message appears.

Is it starting now?

A moderate tension is felt.

Rilka said there would be no problem, so I wasn’t too worried, but there was always fear and anticipation when experiencing anything for the first time.

[Six tests are conducted.]

[First. Fight the boss Dalkan on the 9th floor and win.]

[Three seals are released.]

[Stats are frozen at the time.]

“Great!”

At the same time as the background was dyed black, the strength drained from the body.

I was wondering how the test was going, but it was like this.

To repeat and confirm the experience at that time. Conditions have also changed slightly.

Because the Dalkan I caught at the time had two seals broken.

It’s okay though.

“Skill and equipment titles remain the same.”

The same goes for authority.

I glared at him.

“Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

still a big guy.

Full of hair and sharp shining eyes.

“Long time no see?”

I asked, raising the corner of my mouth.

“Kwaoow!”

The guy who roars at me as if in response.

It comes running towards me at a speed not commensurate with its size.

3 seals have been released, so it’s certain that it’s at least 4 star, and looking at the energy I feel, it doesn’t seem like it’s up to 5 star.

The guy who narrowed the distance for an instant presses his mouth.

The size of one person can be cut in half at a time.

-Taat!

flung to the side

It passes by narrowly.

Eyes as big as his size follow me.

Wind pressure felt on the right.

“Eck!”

He straightened his body as if he were lying on his stomach.

Paws pass over the head.

okay. As far as dogs can use it, it’s only the muzzle and front paws.

-square!

He dug in and swung his sword.

His hair is cut off and blood is drawn all over his body.

The angry guy starts running amok.

A swift movement characteristic of a beast.

He was much bigger than I was, so his movements were big, and he cleverly tried to spin around and trap me.

Throw off your balance with your body and hold back with your front foot. Then, he tries to bite me in surprise.

I tried to avoid it by rolling to the side this time.

“Big!”

Maybe it was because of the drastically downgraded stats, but it was a bit late.

Should I say that it was fortunate that the arm, not the head, was bitten?

At this rate, my arm would be unharmed.

“uh?”

I opened my eyes wide.

all right

very safe

[Dokjamugang 獨者武强 (A) Lv.4]

[Rigid body (A) Lv.1]

[Physical attack resistance (B) Lv.1]

[Iron will (B) Lv.5]

– Carded Deuk!

The teeth and the armor met and sparks flew out.

The guy is sharp and powerful. But it couldn’t penetrate my body.

Because my skills applied along with the durability of my equipment protected me.

The body may have been reduced to the same level as then by the system, but the skills and title equipment are the same.

I have grown up.

“under!”

Laughter burst out without my knowledge.

now i get it

The sanctuary on the other side is a place that proves that you have grown.

The sanctuary is showing.

Even with the physical specs of the 9th floor, if the fruits of the effort accumulated over the years are fruitful, it can be overcome.

I worked really hard.

I thought so.

“Let’s finish it quickly.”

I used the skill with my arm bitten by him.

[Fire Bomb (AA) Lv.1]

-Quaaaaaang!

I finished all the work before coming to the sanctuary from Rilka’s house.

Equipment checks, skill upgrades that have not been done before, acquisition of new fall line sets, and so on.

The result is this.

“Kihaaaa!”

The guy screams and runs away.

At the time, it was a monster that was hard to deal with.

“It’s worth it.”

It looks fine now.

I gripped my sword tightly.

[SS-class power unyielding Sword Demon is released.]

[S-class power, star-watching eyes are released.]

I felt the sword become one with my body, and through the power, the exact location of the wound was revealed. . All the skills he can use.

Feeling a sense of danger, he puts rock salt on his body.

A black burning flame.

Again he ran at me.

– Kwaaaaang!

Using the explosion as momentum, I flew forward and cut my sword.

[Cutting (A) Lv. 1]

A front leg that is cut off.

Blood soaking the floor.

I used the next skill at the staggering guy.

[Aurora Beam (A) Lv.6]

A violent storm of light swept over him.

Once or twice until he collapses.

The guy also made a fuss, but it was not enough to turn the tide of the war, and he soon met his end.

[Victory!]

[Pass the first test.]

[Stats return to normal.]

[Start the second test in 10 minutes.]

What’s next?

I stretched and looked straight ahead.

something everyone has already experienced.

I was confident that I could overcome whatever came my way.

* * *

Finally, the sixth test.

All previous tests were worth doing.

however.

“Ah, isn’t this too much?”

I think this one is a bit over the line.

I bit my lip.

opponent is no different.

“Ha ha ha! You damn bastard will be torn to pieces!”

It was the Maglet I dealt with on the 39th floor.

Either you have a conscience or you don’t.

It’s ridiculous that the NPC appears, but it’s right downstairs.

How long has it been since you passed the 39th floor?

I’m not saying just get out and die!

Although there was a fire.

[Basically, we do not deal with NPCs in this test.]

[However, the number and grade of the challenger’s powers are out of common sense. Since the treatment of NPC Maglets has not yet been determined, a special test is conducted.] [For fairness,

NPCs System restrictions apply to Maglet.]

[Magglet cannot leave a certain area.]

[Magglet can only use the Darkness Spear.]

[80% of Maglet’s abilities are sealed.]

[Test passing criteria: 3 times to evade Maglet’s attack or 1 hit to Maglet.]

[However, the skill used for evasion is temporarily sealed when attack evasion succeeds.]

It wasn’t even a situation to express dissatisfaction.

Because there are clear restrictions.

At this point, it can be seen that the balance has been struck to some extent.

One question is.

“I don’t know what you mean when you say that Megglett’s treatment has not been decided.”

“That’s it.”

What happened on the 39th floor?

Didn’t the field just disappear and die together?

Since I couldn’t go down to the 39th floor, it was difficult to know the details.

One thing is clear.

“Keukkeuk. You managed to avoid it once, but do you think you can do it next time?”

That he has a grudge against me.

I don’t know if it’s self-employed.

You should have lived a good life

He raised his middle finger out of respect for the other person.

I pretended to be relaxed while watching the guy go wild, but inside I feel frustrated.

[Attack Evasion (1/3)]

[‘Mist Rush (A)’ is temporarily sealed.]

Currently, I dodged his attack once.

The problem is that the skill used to successfully evade was sealed according to the test conditions.

As if he had expected this far, he was also content with sealing the speed of the fog.

[Time remaining until next attack- 01:45]

After a while, he will attack again.

There was already a dark spear in Megglett’s hand.

The attack I experienced during the battle on the 39th floor. The shoulder was pierced by that.

what about this time

I thought about it and soon came up with a strategy.

[Fire (D) Lv. 1]

-Restly!

Created a fire between him and me.

I poured my magic so that I couldn’t see myself like a barrier.

furthermore.

[Fire Bomb (AA) Lv.1]

[Time Bomb (A) Lv.8]

I set off an explosion and set time bombs all over the place.

Explosive noise echoed from all sides.

The heat extends and the cavity shakes in the aftermath of the explosion.

“Do you think I won’t be able to hit you if you hide like that!”

“uh. Do you think you’ll never get it right?”

cried the fellow over the flames.

I gave a rough answer and moved on.

It’s what the guy said. Even though 80% of the power is sealed, it’s too much for me to attack.

So you have to write it this way.

With his eyes and ears covered by the explosion. Fooling his senses with vibrations, he continued to work.

What I’m really aiming for

[Dig (D) Lv.1]

[Dig (D) Lv.1]

[Dig (D) Lv.1]

[Dig (D) Lv.1]

.

.

.

This one.

[Meglet attacks!]

“Die!”

At the same time as the attackable message appeared, Maglet shouted vigorously, and I also carried out the operation.

[Heavy Bracelet (C)]

Increased weight by gathering magic power.

The situation has already dug a deep pit under your feet.

The floor, which was barely thick enough to support my weight, collapsed without being able to handle the rapidly increased weight.

The moment his spear tried to grab me.

-Kurrureurreung

I fell down.

A few hairs were cut off by the spear, but no damage was done.

[Dodge the second attack!]

[Time remaining until the next attack – 02:59]

[Dig (D) is temporarily sealed.]

I was able to dodge his second attack as well.

Now you only have to dodge one more time.

I thought as I sat down in a pit dug nearly 8 meters.

What to do. Digg is no longer available.

“It’s difficult.”

“To the ark?”

Deokchun, noticing my troubles, points at himself.

It’s a look that wants to help.

Can Deokchun’s attack be blocked by using his trait ‘Outside Armor (B)’?

“How do I use you as a shield?”

Even if it could be prevented, I didn’t want to.

You can’t be the owner and do such ugly things.

“It’s okay.”

I stroked Deokchun’s head and got out of the pit.

While I was thinking about my next plan, it was time for his attack.

Time passed quickly at times like this.

“This time it will be unavoidable.”

Megglett, whose eyes glowed viciously beyond the vanished flames, spoke.

The guy is right.

No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t come up with a way to avoid it.

So try another way.

for me

[Felline’s orange right leg (F)]

There was a newly acquired Felline set.

The grade itself is only F.

[Feline Set (4/7)]

[The set effect is applied!]

[You can use some of the skills sealed in the Fellain Set!]

There was another ability that was unlocked while collecting 4 Fellain Sets, so you can do it enough. can

I crumpled my face reading the effect.

I’m feeling it all over again.

“This fella is definitely a pervert.”
