Stuck in The Tower

Chapter 172 The 42nd floor

A plain with a field of reeds.

There were sparsely grown trees, but there were not many of them, and there was only one tree with a different shape.

It is much taller than other trees. If there is a peculiarity, it is that the color is black.

I remembered the location of the passas tree and moved towards it.

The closer you get, the clearer the identity becomes.

That, too, is a Parsas tree.

[Pasas tree struck by lightning 100 times]

-Why is this only happening to me!

– Can you hear the cry of the tree?

-An angular stone is bound to break, and a tall tree is bound to be struck by lightning.

-It teaches us a lesson that too much popping may not be good.

-The power of lightning is imbued.

I was struck by lightning 100 times.

This is a huge chance whether you’re lucky or bad.

It was as good as that, but is it fortunate that the shape is maintained?

than that.

“The power of lightning is imbued.”

I used my powers

–

There were reactions from two places.

One is a tree branch that has become shiny because it is not black.

The other is the ground with roots.

He swung his sword and cut off a branch.

“It’s cooked properly.”

“To that.”

Looking at the cross section, it is black all the way to the inside.

If there is one curious thing.

-Sparks

flew as soon as I held it in my hand.

Does this mean that it has the power of lightning?

[Twig with lightning]

– OK as a staff material!

-It is also OK as a weapon handle!

– It is a great crafting material.

– A high probability item has a lightning option.

-It is easy to enchant the lightning-type skills.

“Isn’t that bad?”

It’s just a material that hasn’t even been graded yet, but if you make it well, you’ll be able to make something decent.

You can also sell them to shops or other producers.

[Equipment Crafting (C) Lv.6]

I have this skill.

Wouldn’t it be nice to take this opportunity to level up?

nice Leave the twigs in the treasure bag.

[Dig (D) Lv.1]

I dug up the tree roots.

There was a reaction on this side too, so there must be something.

Dried roots are exposed.

Let’s dig a little more. I used Digg once more.

“Yes, this is it.”

[Lightning Resistance (E)]

– You have resistance to lightning.

I was able to get one skill book.

I got it right away without hesitation.

The more resistance skills there are, the better.

I’ll have to put this on the attack too.

The corners of the mouth go up. After returning to the Passas tree and collecting the sap, they moved forward again.

still a peaceful place.

“I’m a bit fed up. That’s right, Deokchun.”

“To that?”

a bit free

Deokchun, too, seems to be sleepy, answers in a half-hearted way, then climbs onto the helmet.

He must be trying to sleep inside the crown.

Except for the place full of traps, there was no place where there were no monsters like this.

It’s good if it’s safe, but it depends on that, and in a state where there are no clear clear conditions like now, stuffiness arises.

what the hell are you going to choose?

I frowned and looked to see if there was anything I was missing, and did my efforts work?

“found.”

“To the ark?”

Monsters started appearing.

Deokchun comes to his senses and sits on his shoulder.

Monsters that move in groups.

It is also of two types.

All 4 stars.

Five per herd.

When approaching slowly and nervously.

A message popped up.

[You will be given a choice.]

[No. 1-Metal Buffalo Herd]

[No. 2-Double Horn Mustang Herd]

[Which group do you want to fight?]

The two monsters that were moving like lies with him stopped.

The sight of them all standing in their seats and staring at me is both alien and creepy.

“Moore!”

“Hi-yi-ing!”

They roar and emit obvious hostility.

They said it was a selection section, so was it like this?

It’s fun.

“Neither way is a good choice.”

Metal Buffalo?

As a 4-star monster, he is about 2 meters tall even though he is standing on all fours.

In particular, the entire head is made of iron.

Even if you run into it, it will destroy quite a few buildings.

The rushing power is great, but the tenacity is also great.

The double-horn Mustang next to you?

It is a monster that looks similar to a wild horse. It is similar in size to a 4-star metal buffalo, but more agile and intelligent.

In a group, a few rode with their horns, and a few blocked the escape route and endured.

Normally, if you were told to deal with them in groups of one or two, they’d say it’s better to avoid them.

I agree.

Because there’s no need to rush.

It’s an unavoidable situation now.

I think the correct answer is to choose someone who is easy to deal with based on their specialties.

“Do I need to worry?”

All monsters must die.

There was no condition to deal with only one group in any of the options.

A group of 4 stars is now enough to deal with.

We need to cut off the white sea useless bastards.

[Cutting (A) Lv. 1]

-Chaw ah ah ah

swung the sword low.

At once, the reeds in the area collapsed, opening the field of vision.

With this, the stage is complete.

“Look at what you are twisting. Not rushing right away.”

[Aurora Beam (A) Lv.6]

[Aurora Beam (A) Lv.6]

They fired one shot at a time.

The target is the bridge.

-Quaaaaaang!

The light is emitted and the legs of the object in front are blown away.

Guys who can’t stand the weight and fall forward.

Following.

“Moooooooo!”

“Muhh!”

“Hi-yi-ing!”

They all started charging at once.

It’s not often that monsters of different types unite and attack, but this time it was different.

It’s because I’ve been attacked, and because the systemic effect is applied, I have hostility toward me.

It would be perfect for warming up.

“Moore!”

The first one to attack was Buffalo.

I don’t know if it’s a long distance, but this guy is faster to break through short distances.

Although I felt the force of a dump truck attacking me.

“I wanted to try it once.”

It wasn’t very fast for me and I caught the guy who stuck out his horns and rushed at me.

As naturally as water flows.

It rotated around the horns in the air and rode on the guy’s back.

He rocked wildly, but his thighs tightened his neck, and he was able to keep his balance stable.

“This is so much fun!”

“Gehehehehe!”

I feel like a cowboy

Oh, cowboys ride horses, not cows?

Anyway.

“Whoa—ah!”

I screamed and looked at the scenery.

It wasn’t something I would do during a battle, but what can I do? I don’t feel any sense of danger at all.

You can’t just play like that.

There were countless monsters waiting for me.

– Fu-wook!

-Duduk!

I grabbed the sword in reverse and severed the bastard’s spine.

The guy who trembled once and sat down.

Although they are monsters, they are basically creatures.

If the head disappears, you die, and if the spine is severed, paralysis comes.

Of course there are people who don’t, but this guy did.

[Heavy Bracelet (C)]

-Quick!

I increased my weight and trampled on the guy’s head.

His head, which was made of iron, was bent and blood was pouring out.

The guys who smelled the blood and got even more excited.

Regardless of you, each of them sticks out their horns and attacks.

“It’s okay.”

I turned my body to avoid the horn coming in front of me and lightly swung my sword.

A swordsman who does not give in to SS-class powers.

He becomes the successor of Alios and his improved swordsmanship is passed down through his fingertips.

“Hyaaagh!”

A double-horn mustang with its front legs cut off falls down with a scream.

This is amazing.

Whether it’s two or four legs, if you cut off just one, you won’t be able to move properly.

Especially those who weigh a lot like this are even worse.

Spinning his sword, he blocked the horns of the buffalo that was about to strike his side.

– Kaaang!

Sparks fly.

And surprisingly.

“Mu-moo-oh?”

The guy weighing more than a few hundred kilograms stepped back.

An impossible story.

However, I have already increased the weight to the fullest through the weight bracelet.

There is a saying that weight class is a gangster.

Size is important, but the criterion for dividing weight classes is weight.

Right now, my weight class is higher than him.

If it’s just the weight.

“Moore!”

-Kwagagagagang!

So is power.

He grabbed the horn and twisted his body.

The ground is dug up, and you can hear the sound of his backbone crunching as it couldn’t bear the weight.

4 star. Awesome monsters are right.

Even if only one is released in the city center, the whole area is paralyzed and there are many casualties.

By the way…

“It’s because it’s a hunter to catch those guys.”

Haven’t even started properly yet.

[Guardian’s Will (AA)]

A shield of protection created based on me.

Depending on the method used, it became a prison from which enemies could not escape.

“It must smell like grilling meat.”

[Fire Bomb (AA) Lv. 1]

He caused an explosion in all directions without hesitation.

Until the flames completely cover the inside of the tent.

Let the land die black and the smoke billow.

Guys screaming and running everywhere. Even so, there is no way out.

[Fire Bomb (AA) Lv.1]

[Skill Level Up!]

[Fire Bomb (AA) Lv.2]

[Fire Resistance (C) Lv.8]

[Skill Level Up!]

[Fire Resistance (C) Lv. 9]

The sound of the skill going up is sweet.

I love this.

Because I mainly use explosions, my fire resistance skill goes up without doing anything else.

In the aftermath of the expansive heat and explosion, the protective shield swells dangerously.

It seems to be cracking little by little.

Unlocked the relic. There are no monsters that have already survived.

-Fuhuaaaak!

The compressed air bursts out at once.

Smoke billowing into the sky.

A portal shining in it.

[The selection target has disappeared.]

[The 3rd choice has been completed.]

[Floor 41 cleared!]

[Sent to the 42nd floor.]

Intangible energy pours from the portal and surrounds me.

easy to clear

If there’s one thing you don’t like.

“If the 40th floor is judged as a choice in any way, it goes up.”

In other places, it was my mind to move after the portal was created.

sorry I wanted to search the entire field.

The brilliance that enveloped me.

As the bright light peaked, the view changed.

* * *

[Floor 42]

[Clear condition- Choice (0/1)]

Still a brief explanation.

The options haven’t come out yet.

Like the 41st floor, I have to go around first.

this stage.

“It’s a castle.”

It is an old castle that can be seen anywhere in Romania.

I am standing at the entrance of the castle.

The walls were broken in places and the moat dried up.

There are things that look like monster bones everywhere.

When I glanced at it, the scale of the wall was quite large.

The only thing you can see through the wall is the castle, but if you go inside, there must be other buildings.

It’s more like a fortress than a castle.

“Should I go inside?”

The door is closed.

To enter, you have to break a gate or climb over a wall.

About 4 meters high. enough to pass.

I have no intention of going in right away.

Thinking of wandering around the field as much as possible before the options pop up.

“The field isn’t very big.”

“That’s it.”

The main of the 42nd floor is the castle. To be precise, it should be the entire fortress.

Other than that, the outlying area where I was was not very wide.

Because the green curtain was announcing the end of the field.

It’s not just that you can’t go.

[End of the 42nd floor]

– Cannot be crossed systematically.

It is clearly written that it is over.

It is said that it is systematically impenetrable.

Let’s ignore that and look elsewhere.

A plain with thick grass. The space presumed to have been farmland was deserted and even weeds did not grow.

A stone-paved road connected the forest and the entrance to the castle, but it was not maintained, so it was damaged everywhere, and a broken wagon was left carelessly abandoned at the corner of the road.

Was it used by merchants or simply for riding?

Curiosity approached the Donghae carriage.

Do you know if something special is hidden?

“It’s good that there’s no smell of rotting corpses.”

“That’s it.”

I saw the corpse many times before and even when I climbed the tower, but I don’t want to see it.

what a good thing In particular, he never got used to the smell of a decaying corpse.

On the coachman’s seat is a skeleton with a spear stuck in its chest.

If it’s completely weathered, it means it’s been a very long time.

The wheel of the wagon is broken.

Thanks to that, it was easy for the wagon to tilt.

“excuse me.”

– Kwajik!

When the wagon door is pulled, it is ripped off without much resistance.

The smell of dust and mold stings your nostrils.

I close my eyes and look inside.

“Box?”

A skeleton is stuck in it, hugging a box.

Although the color has faded, the clothes are quite colorful.

Is it high status or rich?

I don’t know that far, but my eyes go to the box.

Looking closely, there was also a yellowed letter in the inside pocket of the coat, which seemed to be trying to convey something.

I’m sorry for the dead, but I’ll have a look.

-Suddenly,

“Oh, it’s broken. I’m sorry.”

There was an incident where he broke his arm bone while taking out a box and a letter, but he forgot about it for a while and looked at the contents of the box.

one key.

[The key to the secret space of Count Belstein]

– Count Baine Belstein of the Kingdom of Fienne.

– He feels he needs special powers to change the world.

– He wanted to dig up the truth of the world and rise to the ranks of the sage, so he acquired a dangerous object.

It smells.

Something is hidden.

I immediately checked the letter.
