Tower – B1 floor (1)
[‘Aggro’ reduction, ‘Ability limit’ penalty reduction, you can feel the direction of the exit.]
I reflexively covered my nose with my sleeve. As we entered the red mist, a disgusting odor wafted out. It’s an indescribable stench.
When I put on a respirator with a purification blessing in my backpack, it was only then that I could breathe a little easier.
after. There is also a holy sword, so you can work in Hell without a respirator, but it was much better to wear it.
‘…it’s worse than that.’
The inside of the Hell Island was a disgusting sight to the point of frowned upon.
The red-colored Hell Road was made up of floors, walls, and chunks of soft pink flesh. With each step, the soft part is locked up to the ankle. As a test, I tried to press the wall and it went in as easily as I applied force.
‘It looks like this if it goes into the intestines.’
I don’t think it was like this in the game.
In fact, it is a disgusting background. After passing the narrow entrance, a dark space appeared. You can see the backs of the people who had already entered.
“…you can’t see anything. I can’t even hear screams like before.”
Layette murmured as she stared at the darkness. In the closed space, where even the wind did not blow, there was only an uneasy silence. Even with his senses, he would not feel any measure of popularity.
Whoa! However, Layette’s voice resounded like an echo little by little. It was proof that this place was as wide as an empty field.
The exit to the ground behind me is the only light that leaks from Hell Road. Other than that, there was no other way to secure the view in Hell.
Drakhan turned around and called me.
“Here, we have no choice but to rely on information from you and the Holy Sword. Can I just wait here, Mr. Ahat?”
“no. Wait.”
I shook my head and took off my backpack. Then he took out a case that was larger than the backpack and assembled a custom weapon with his familiar skills. A part of the soul iron that flowed into Arwell became the connecting parts of the custom weapon.
I separated the soul iron that was part of Drakhan and threw it to him. Drakhan took it and put it in his arms.
“You have to be ready for battle right now. Slowly, they will see this light and begin to flock. To escape to the ground.”
“They are flocking. You mean the soul we talked about earlier?”
Even if he said that, everyone was only nervous that they were in an unknown space, and he didn’t seem to be worried about anything else.
Drakhan, who can handle erosion, is even more so.
…I think it would be better to check it with the naked eye, even if it stimulates a little.
“I can’t help it because I can’t see anything. Then I will show you what to protect this exit from.”
Whoops! I put the holy sword and Arwell on the floor and raised my custom weapon. A sticky liquid leaked out from the area where the sword was stabbed.
Red smoke rose from the barrel as mana was poured into the custom gun. She then pulled the trigger with her muzzle pointed at the ceiling.
Quang! Magic bullets burning like flames started to illuminate the dark map of hell as they headed towards the sky.
Little by little, the landscape of Hell, hidden in darkness, is revealed. And everyone, except me, flinched as they inhaled.
Thousands or tens of thousands of unknown things in the revealed field of vision.
They were looking at this place from all sides.
At the terrible sight, Jae-Yoo Hong spit out abusive language involuntarily.
Koo! Mattan, who fell to the ground soon after, made a small flame with something as firewood. The unidentified new types that were near the flame seemed to be moving little by little, though.
Drakhan also said in a firmer voice than before, as if he had grasped the situation.
“Jihan. . . . are they all flocking this way?”
“Unfortunately, it is.”
“If we don’t protect this place, will they come to the ground?”
“···her. It seems like you’ve started doing something outrageous.”
It’s absurd… it’s not accurate.
That ridiculous number of enemies is natural if you think about it a little. The rise of towers from the earth is an event so old that there are no records. Since then, all the souls of the dead have been imprisoned in Hell.
“These are the beings called monster spirits.”
ghost.
A tainted soul that has been mutated by being bound by the tower for a long time. Even the form of the soul has been corrupted to such a degree that it disappears. It was safe to say that it was discarded waste that could not be revived.
“It’s a monster. .
Layate, who had been to Hell even without remembering, frowned. Shreung! Layette drew a sword from behind and stepped forward.
“Seo-Han. Light up your field of vision by shooting magic bullets around you like before. Fortunately, the speed is slow, so we can stop in front.”
“I think that would be a little difficult.”
I didn’t answer. Because the vibration from the floor gave me an answer instead.
In the distance, the flames lit with magic bullets are scattered randomly.
Melting bodies were running towards this place. The violent movement extinguished the flame and darkness came again. But unlike before, there was no silence.
This is because the sound of knocking on the ground from all directions, whether forward, right or left, was getting closer.
“Why are you running all of a sudden?!”
Layette hurriedly raised the bayonet. Drakhan also drew Riel, and Hong Jae-yu also created a magic sword from his hand.
“Because I was definitely aware of this. All the ghosts on the Hell Island will rush to get out of the way!”
I quickly picked up Arwell, which had been placed on the floor, and transformed it into a gun. And he drew his two guns at random, pointing them into the dark.
As soon as the magic bullet was completed, an explosion occurred around it, and the field of vision was revealed. Although the monsters were shattered by the explosion, they somehow twisted their bodies towards this side.
“Is that why you brought me?!”
Hong Jae-yu also threw a magic sword and exploded the approaching monsters. However, the speed of the magic sword couldn’t keep up enough to stop it from approaching.
“shit···!”
Knowing this, the appearance of the magic sword made by Hong Jae-yu started to change. In the past, the high-density mana was based on the familiar sword form. But the weapons made today were not like that.
A huge shuriken form optimized for throwing.
It was the [Magic Sword 改] that Hong Jae-Yu acquired while learning how to handle mana from Drakhan.
Hong Jae-yu threw two commendations with the spirit. The [Demon Sword 改] pierced through the monsters, leaving a trail of indigo.
Aww! Soon, an explosion stronger than my [Matan – Explosion] occurred. The reason for the commendation was because it was compressed mana more efficiently than the magic sword.
‘There is nothing better than the width attribute to deal with a lot of jap mobs.’
It’s not a bad level for a mob, though.
Even now, the monsters with their bodies exploded were crawling somehow. I felt the desire and instinct to get out of hell.
“It’s been an hour like this!”
Leight, who rushed to the place where the field of vision was cleared by the explosion, cut down the monsters in one breath with a great sword. Gooey liquid squishy things bounced into the air.
Mana arrows were shot indiscriminately over it. Drakhan turned Riel into a bow and drew a protest.
But soon after feeling strange, Drakhan stopped drawing protests. No matter how much he shoots, it only slows down the speed of approach, and the number of monsters has increased rather than decreased.
The fragments of the decomposed monster eventually formed a body from the flesh that formed the bottom and began to rise slowly.
“Mr. Drakan! They are souls and do not perish! As I said before, we need to block the approach by smashing the ones closest to us!”
“······What?!”
It was Hong Jae-yoo who responded to what I said while shooting the magic bullet. It was the expression of what kind of bullshit you were talking about.
It was obviously the things I told you in advance, but you didn’t listen to them all.
“Did you forget? I told you before. There is no way you can kill a soul.”
“···crazy. Then you have to stand up against those that don’t die?”
“okay. For an hour.”
“This shit…”
…if you think you can’t keep the exit, you can just retreat right away. There are a lot of issues that need to be dealt with. The only thing that came to mind was the disappearance of the safe zone, the destruction of civilians, and the paralysis of the tower.
Layette swung his sword imbued with an auror and shouted.
“Seo-han! Can’t you use the Holy Sword?”
“Not a soul made of erosion, but divine power will have no effect!”
I shouted out magic bullets at the ghost who approached behind Layette.
“An hour ahead!”
Until then, I had to somehow keep the exit.
If you don’t want to destroy the safe zone.
At the round table on the 25th floor, the wizards rushed to the table, shouting their names. young faces. They were the seniors in the tower who were appointed along with Aiden.
Aiden turned his gaze to the three wizards.
“Just vibrating. You didn’t feel it either…, huh?!”
Hwareuk. As blue flames rose in front of him, his eyes felt dry in an instant. The wizard reflexively grabbed his eyes and let out a moan.
Aiden muttered calmly even when he saw the pain.
“Aiden? Was this an academy?”
“That… I’m sorry! Manager.”
Another senior wizard who understood the situation opened his mouth with a sensible apology.
“I made a mistake because of the circumstances. Did you also feel the vibration of the tower just shaking?”
“Of course it is.”
“Hey, shouldn’t we do something?”
Aiden snorted at the wizard’s question.
“Hey, since when did you start working hard? Unless we get a call from above, we just wait as usual. ‘Cause we’re all representatives If something goes wrong, am I not the manager who is in charge?”
When Aiden glared at the enemy, the wizards retreated. That’s right. Because it was also a word of authority even after aiming for it.
“I have one more thing to tell you.”
“There have been reports that Lord Ahat is guarding the place where the vibration occurred.”
These wizards know nothing of the Helldo. They seem to know only that there is Ahat in the place where the cause of the vibration occurred.
‘You must have heard it from the wizards near the tower.’
There’s no way a wizard wouldn’t know Ahat’s face. Aiden asked, pretending not to know.
“Are you sure about that?”
“yes. I’m getting calls from other wizards as well. They say they put up a barrier to keep no one from approaching with wind magic.”
“Then you will figure it out.”
When the wizard asked the question, Aiden frowned and replied nervously, as if not to bother him.
“Is there any way we can get our hands on it? I don’t care if you let it go or if you try to stop Ahat.”
After the conversation, Aiden started working again. The wizards looked at him and stood there, not knowing what to do.
“···What are you doing? Aren’t you going?”
Aiden’s words were shot towards them.
The wizards’ facial expressions were momentarily distorted, but in the end they could not resist and left the round table. He protested to Aiden, who was the manager, but if there was a battle, there was no chance of winning.
As the wizards left, Aiden sighed and took out his smartphone. Immediately after the vibration sounded, there was a message that arrived.
[-I will enter.]
A text message from Seo Ji-han. It must have been an easy entry into Hell Road.
“Please… this time.”
May you return safely and without injury.
Aiden held the screen on which Seo Ji-han’s message appeared with both hands.
👌👌👌👌👌 Jae-Yoo Hong went to the front line with the help of Layer. Two demon swords slashed the monsters cleanly.
“Sheesh…!”
But to no avail. This is because the upper body that flew away slowly created the lower body from the floor and then got up again.
The monsters are only heading towards the exit as their instinct leads.
The siege was getting smaller and smaller. At first, no one could be seen in the light leaking from the exit, but now the mutated appearance of the monsters is starting to be clearly visible at the end.
-&%^$^$%^#%!!!!!
As they got closer to the exit, they began to make noises of unknown meaning from their melting mouths. He couldn’t interpret it, but he seemed to understand the meaning of the scream.
The body of the ghosts headed for the exit. I could feel the will to get out of this hell road at any cost.
I wasn’t the only one who felt it. Even in a dire situation, the heroes from the tower looked at those monsters momentarily, as if their concentration was disturbed.
“Is this what happens when you die?”
This is the truth of the tower hidden underground.
It was the first reason Park Noah decided to kill the managers.
[Seo Seo-han. There are still 30 minutes left. Do you think this would be in danger?]
Because it was a hardcore difficulty, the basic level of the monsters has definitely risen. It’s hard to think of equipment that I couldn’t even think of in the original story, even if I brought my colleagues with me.
‘If I went to the standard, I almost would have died.’
The hardcore ‘hell road’ was not a hidden street that could be cleared with the power of aspiring heroes.
Suck! Hong Jae-yu, who had escaped from the battlefield with the power of his personality, appeared next to him.
“Still, it’s a good thing that all of these guys aren’t rational. In the end, we will fight with endurance.”
“Do you think there will be none?”
As the Holy Sword said, 30 minutes had passed, and it was time for the first phase to end.
“Now these guys are souls old enough to lose their shape.”
“Then what about the souls who have died recently?”
They’ll show up over there.
When the magic bullet of the flame property was fired, the view from afar was clearly secured. There, I saw a new type with a different appearance from the monster I had been seeing.
A soul that does not flow down and retains its human form.
When it hit [Matan – Fire], his body burned little by little, but his body was still maintained.
“Did you see it? Now you have to go.”
If they come close, the exit will be opened in an instant. The only thing that could handle this was Hong Jae-Yoo’s personality, which was able to teleport.
-^%$##$%#$^!!!!!!!!!!!!
Soon the guys started running towards this place at a frightening speed.
While mercilessly crushing the monsters blocking the way. There was a clear sense of ‘hostility’ in it.
“Because you said it, please.”
“Hah, damn it.”
Hong Jae-yu sighed and his body disappeared immediately. And he appeared behind the monsters, and in an instant he thrust two demon swords into his body.
Suck! When he appeared next to me again, a huge explosion occurred due to the resonance of the demon sword. Once, a single charge was blocked with this.
“Sword. What about the beautiful Hector?”
[I don’t feel it.]
I’m glad. I’m here to find the beautiful Hector, but I’m glad he didn’t come this way. If there were any necromancers around here, I couldn’t stand it.
“Jihan! As I said, I smashed the nearby monsters beyond recovery.”
He turned his gaze to a place close to Drakhan’s horse.
Although the shape was being restored, the fragmented shapes were seen to the extent that the speed was remarkably slow. Thanks to them blocking the way in front, the ghosts from behind were slowing down the approach.
“You have worked hard! Now run as you please!”
“i get it.”
A black light appeared and Riel was transformed into a sword. As if her body was itching, Drakhan jumped over the barrier of flesh she had created and rushed to the monsters.
“Hong Jae-Yoo. You did a long-distance intercept with me here, and you stopped them earlier.”
“Even if you don’t say it, I know!”
Suck! Hong Jae-yu’s body disappeared again as if he had found another one.
Now for Phase 2, which will begin in earnest, I raised my arms. And a blue line was drawn at high speed towards the back of the hand.
As the engraved magic appeared, dozens of ice spears floated into the air.
‘I will use the ice attribute and the curse of ‘freeze’.’
I shot ice spears at the unrecognizable flesh.
