Pick Me Up, Infinite Gacha

Chapter 57



# 57

57. Mission Type Escort (1)

As expected, humanoid monsters also appeared on the 13th and 14th floors.

Although the personnel, equipment, and formation were different, there was one thing in common. It is true that they have unconditional enmity towards us. Rather fortunately. Thanks to this, the party members were able to deal with the enemies without hesitation.

However, fighting a humanoid has a slightly higher stress increase rate than fighting a monster.

Knowing that, Amkena didn’t carelessly turn around. once a day. After the battle, give it a rest. Condition management was also important in preparation for the 15th floor.

A few days passed like that.

The 1st party has reached the appropriate level required to clear the 15th floor.

I’m level 15, Jenna and Aaron are level 13, Iolka and Edith are level 11. It wasn’t to the maximum level, but it took a long time to raise the level to two 3 stars. That the experience point efficiency is low. It was one of the few downsides of a hero with a high birth grade.

Equipment workshops have also started operating again.

What was provided this time was a leather pouch. It is an accessory item that increases the possession limit of consumable items such as potions. It wasn’t a bad choice. It’s better to carry at least one more potion than to upgrade your armor there.

As the capture approached, I assigned goals to the party members. The goal is to learn at least one skill before reaching the 15th floor. This time, the 2nd party, which was not marching, stuck together all night to help with training.

And

[Have ‘Han(★★)’ carry the ‘Low Life Potion’.]

[Have ‘Han(★★)’ the ‘Low Life Potion’…]

[Do not drop it. It’s expensive!]

Isel, standing on top of the cart, threw the vitality potion.

I took the potion and put it in the pouch on my belt. And I received another one. Isel’s hand slipped as he was about to throw the third.

Clink!

[‘Low Life Potion’ is broken!]

[Tips/Items may be lost during the process of carrying consumables.]

“I heard it’s expensive?”

[I don’t know this either. It’s the Master who abused me was wrong!]

Issel flapped his wings and blushed.

Broken glass fragments and red liquid were absorbed into the floor and disappeared. Distribution started again. This time it was Jenna’s turn.

[Give ‘Jenna(★★)’ the ‘Low Vitality Potion’…]

A total of five people gathered in the plaza.

Me and Jenna Aaron Iolka and Edith.

1 All party members were gathering and distributing items.

The intention is clear to anyone. It was a 15th floor challenge.

I looked at the members of the 1st party.

Jenna muttered to herself that she could do it, and Aaron squeezed the spear stick until his hands turned red. Iolka is taking a deep breath. Edith closes her eyes. Everyone was relaxing in their own way.

No one is overly firm.

It was only natural that he had this much know-how as he had gone through countless real battles with me. I took one last look at my status bar.

[Han Israt (★★) Lv. 15(Exp 38/120)]

[Class: Novice]

[Strength: 35/35]

[Intelligence: 10/10]

[Stamina: 32/32] [

Agility: 30/30]

[Possessed Skill: Lesser Swordsman Sorcery (Lv.7) Mind’s Eye (Lv.4) Fire Resistance (Lv.2) Pain Resistance (Lv.4) Calmness (Lv.4) Berserk (Lv.3) Horsemanship (Lv.1)] Overall

stats are 107.

For a 2-star 15 level, it’s a pretty good figure. This was enough to compare with the top 3 achievements. It is the result of hard work and calculation. About two months since I came here. I never took a single day off.

Has 7 skills.

Excluding the auxiliary horsemanship, there are 6 things that are directly helpful in battle. Mind’s eye is a skill I intensively honed, and can be obtained when insight and throwing defense are properly harmonized. While receiving a strong correction against projectiles, it has a phantom defense effect and can see through the opponent’s gaps. It was undoubtedly an A-class skill that I planned to acquire from the time I came here.

I also raised my pain tolerance and composure, berserk, by several levels.

This is what happens when you rampage with Berserk activated every morning. It’s not easy to raise the mental type passive, but it seems like I’ve found an effective training method.

[This is the end!]

A magic potion was placed in Iolka’s hand.

3 potions per person. The door to the warehouse opened and the empty cart moved by itself and went inside. Isel wiped the sweat from his forehead and snorted.

[Listen carefully to what Han is saying. If you want to live.]

“Why are you saying useless words again?”

[I’m going to catch the military. It’s going to be a headache if you resist clumsily.]

“Even if you don’t tell me, I’ll take care of myself.”

[is it? Anyway, do your best on the 15th floor. Don’t die!]

Isel scattered star dust and disappeared.

At the same time, the door to the space-time gap opened.

“He’s a jerk whenever I see him.”

Jenna shrugged and went inside.

Then, the members of the first party entered in turn. When I finally entered, the door was closed.

[Climb the tower and save the world!]

[Main Dungeon: Current number of floors climbed – 14]

‘Floor 15.’

There are a few predictions, but we don’t know exactly what missions will come out. It wasn’t even a chain quest like the 10th floor. I opened my mouth.

“Do what you do. If you wake up, you can return alive.”

“If only my brother followed me?”

“Don’t rely too much on me.”

“You can rely on it. The instructions are accurate.”

Edith smiled.

I looked at the system message at the top of my field of view.

The control window was moving in a dizzying manner.

[Use the recording function.]

[Use the recording function to save the record of the stage as a video. This can be viewed at any time. However, you need to purchase a feature for this.]

‘Are you planning to save the replay?’

It’s not a bad habit.

I also went through stages that I had already cleared several times and analyzed the characteristics of heroes and the types of active stages. Because there are so many things you can’t tell just by looking at it. It was also useful in determining the cause of a stage’s failure.

Analyzing past records is very helpful in developing insight and judgment. There is little the master can contribute to the mission yet, but it will change as the number of floors goes up. The training now will shine then.

[Are you sure you want to purchase ‘recording function’? 300 gems are consumed for purchase.]

[Yes (optional) / No]

Flash!

A temporary flash occurred in the gap of time and space.

[Congratulations, Master!]

[You can enjoy the record of your hero from now on.]

At the top of the field of view, a triangle indicating the start of recording appeared.

At the same time, a faint light leaked from the mirror on the left.

I took a deep breath.

“you.”

The attention of the party members is focused.

I spoke.

“There are two characteristics of this mission. The first is that it is a special mission. If you recall the Goddess Statue I explained on the 10th floor, you will know. They said that if it is destroyed, we will be annihilated. ”

The 3rd party entered the 15th floor and was wiped out within 5 minutes. There was no fear, panic, or near-death state abnormality that could have occurred before death. In other words, they didn’t go through a battle. They failed in their mission without knowing why, and were annihilated in return.

“Then what we’re going to do after we go in…”

“Okay, Edith. Find the target as quickly as possible. And prevent the mission from failing. But we don’t have much time. Fifteen minutes at most.”

“Fifteen minutes?”

“They all died within 5 minutes of getting in. Do you know what I mean? If you’re left blank inside, the mission will automatically fail. We search everything. This is the second feature.”

The time flow in the waiting room and on stage is different.

The time given to us when replacing this was about 15 minutes.

There is not enough time for this mission.

In other words, it was a time attack rule in which conditions must be satisfied within a limited time.

“Once we enter the mission, we organize the information and move within three minutes.”

The four nodded.

[The current number of challenging floors in the main dungeon is 15.]

[The door will open in 10 seconds. Get ready!]

The light grew stronger and filled the space-time gap.

And by the time the light dimmed, we were in an unfamiliar place.

I looked around.

the sky is clear time is low.

‘The 15th floor is also a city.’

I looked around again. A little more detailed this time. If the 10-story city had a cluttered structure with rugged stone buildings, this city was neatly organized. Two-story wooden buildings and roads maintained like a checkerboard stood out.

“Really?”

“Have you been fooled once or twice? It’s because he really came. It’s him, he!”

“I must go!”

Two pot-bellied men passed us by.

Besides, there are many people. Citizens were spending their daily lives everywhere on the streets. A woman bargaining with the owner in a fruit shop. Children running in the alley. Pedestrians heading somewhere with their clothes on.

However, they are not interested in us who suddenly appeared.

They were NPCs who couldn’t see us.

Eyes meet with the crooked old woman.

The old woman ignored us as if she couldn’t see us and walked somewhere.

‘…’

The atmosphere is different from the 10th floor.

It was then that I knew right away that things were going badly. But this time there are no signs. The peaceful daily life of the city was unfolding.

And the mission window floated above the scenery.

[Floor 15.]

[Mission Type – Escort]

[Objective – Protect a designated person.]

Four people focused on one place.

You are looking at the target window.

There are no warning messages, no messages displaying enemy status and numbers. Only the target window was displayed. I looked around at the citizens passing by and then said,

“Gather.”

Four came closer.

I spoke.

“Your mission, as you can see, is escort. I’m assuming you said there’s no time. We need to find the designated person. He’ll probably be dead soon.”

“Who are you protecting? I can’t see any monsters, and it’s full of people.”

who to protect

and where is he

That was the crux of this mission.

“Does anyone know about this place?”

“I know, brother. I’ve been there to sell things.”

“okay?”

“Yes. It’s a place called Adilt. It’s a city where roads stretched out in all directions and trade developed. I don’t know why I came to this place, but…” Aaron muttered

.

‘As expected, the stage of the mission is in Taoni.’

I closed my eyes for a moment and then continued.

“What is the characteristic place in this city?”

“Are you talking about a special place?”

“Famous landmarks or historical sites. Anything is fine. Tell me if you have any.”

“There is a temple dedicated to the goddess in the square in the center of the city. It is famous as one of the holy places of the church. It is called the Hall of Silver. Except for the saints, it is one of the three temples on the continent.”

“Ah, the Silver Hall! I’ve heard of it. They say it’s huge.”

“Then are these people going to that temple?”

Most of the inhabitants on the street were moving in one direction.

Aaron looked at them carefully and nodded.

“It seems so. It seems that some kind of event is taking place.”

‘Is it an event place?’

“Move. Let’s go.”

“Where are you going?”

“To the center of the city.”

If I had time, I would have gathered a little more information, but now it was time to move.

I stepped Party members followed.

I turned my gaze to Edith, who was walking beside me.

“Edith. We’re going to the temple as it is. Ask for help.”

“okay.”

Edith fell into an alley beside the boulevard and started climbing the wall to the roof. Edith, the nimble of us and able to wield a dagger and bow at the same time, was well suited for this role. She will follow us around, providing information and assistance.

“There are so many people.”

Jenna said as she looked at passers-by.

It was as it was said. The closer you go to the center of the city, the more people there are. Expectations were also visible on their faces. I sped up my steps.

Could it have been 3 minutes?

The shape of a huge building floated across the street.

After walking for some time, the scenery of the street changed completely.

A vast plaza came out, and the inside was flooded with crowds of people of all ages and genders. Residents from all over the city are gathering here.

At the entrance to the plaza, two soldiers were checking. The splendid armor the soldier was wearing gleamed with silver. A cross with wings was embossed on the helmet.

Aaron said briefly.

“The guards belonging to the temple.”

The soldier’s gaze, which was looking at the passers-by, turned this way.

As I approached, they put their hands on the sheaths of their waistbands.

“Stop. You can’t get in…”

I grabbed the soldier’s head, pulled him, and smashed his nose bone with my knee.

Fresh blood splattered with the sound of bones snapping. The soldier collapsed without even screaming.

“This poem…!”

The guy next to me tried to blow the whistle on his collar.

I hit the soldier in the side of the face with my shield, then grabbed him by the head and pinned him to the wall.

puck! puck! puck!

third time. When he released his hand, the soldier slid off the wall.

“Tongue, brother? Why suddenly…”

“Don’t you understand?”

I tapped the soldier’s side with my toe.

“이 새끼들은 우리가 보인다.”

That means.

“It’s an enemy.”
