Tower – B4 floor (2)
[Two guys are flying from above!]
He hurriedly raised his head at the words of the Holy Sword. Two figures emerged from the darkness as they jumped out of nowhere.
[Ice Spear] engraved on the mana rod was created at high speed. Ice spears were shot at my will. Quajiic! They were pierced by ice spears while floating in the air, and their balance was shaken. I jumped out of that gap.
After cutting off the one in front of him, he rotated around and threw the holy sword. Aww! As soon as the ghost with the holy sword stuck in its body landed on the floor, he tried to pull it out.
At that time, the holy sword responded with a light.
-^%$^#$@#!
It should have had no effect on the original divine power, but it had reacted a little. He took advantage of the gap, approached the ghost, grabbed his holy sword, and cut it off as it was.
iron puck! The shards of the fallen monster wanted to slowly stick to each other, but the recovery stopped as if they were pushing the cut edge of the holy sword.
…it was clear that the monster had been affected by the erosion.
[Seo Seo-han. I think I can deduce the reason.]
The holy sword with a faint light murmured.
[The last 5th floor, one floor below this, is where the beautiful Hector is. In the meantime, he has created his own realm in Hell Island, so the effects of erosion are bound to remain. It seems that there are monsters that have been affected by it from the 4th basement floor.]
“Is this good?”
Even if the damage caused by the divine power is small, if the recovery of the monster itself is prevented…
[no. There are more risks than returns.]
But the Holy Sword denied my words.
[In the beginning, the more recently a person died, the slower the recovery. From our point of view, where we have to fight quickly and quickly, a monster once destroyed cannot become an enemy again. On the other hand, if you have the power of ‘erosion’, there might be a growth in the ability you denied.]
nothing happens
Suck! Next to me, Jae-Yoo Hong appeared again with a tired look. No matter how many times she blew it with her magic sword, sticky lumps were stuck to her outer garment.
Hong Jae-yu’s expression was not very good. The guy re-created the magic sword and said.
“This is a big deal…”
“These guys who are coming now aren’t everything. They’re coming from behind again at high speed.”
I felt uneasy. It would be quicker to see just how many there are. I want to use magic bullets…
‘ah. Fuck.’
I moved my hand and realized there was no gun. The custom weapon was lent to Drakhan, and Arwell cannot be turned into a weapon. [Ignition] did not reach that crossroads, so there was no way to secure a long-distance view right away.
“Hong Jae-Yoo. What do you mean?”
Layette, who was nearby, shouted at us as if he had heard it.
“More bastards are coming behind us! If we keep fighting here, it will be really dangerous!”
“okay? Ahat!”
Layette swung her great sword and called out to Ahart. Ahat was supporting Arwell here and there with simple wind magic.
“I think we should do what I said yesterday! Everyone step back!”
Hong Jae-yu stepped back after hearing Layt’s cry. After a short distance from each other, Leitt started running, then trampled the ground and leapt.
“Ugh!!!”
He surrendered himself to gravity and put that weight on the greatsword.
Aww! The viscous mass on the floor exploded with the sound of air slashing. As much as it was muddy, a huge amount of liquid inside burst out toward the ceiling. The crowd of monsters lost their balance and staggered in the aftermath.
“It wasn’t a bad idea, but I don’t know if this will work.”
Whoa! A wind blew around Ahat.
When he reached out his hand with a blue line, the liquid that soared did not fall to the floor.
The liquid floated in the air as it was, and was maintained like a kind of membrane. Because it was opaque, it looked like a huge blackout curtain had been installed. When we cut off the ghost and us, Layette shouted.
“Seo-han! Come on, guide me to the altar!”
“Oh, yes!”
I looked at the surrounding terrain and moved straight away. When I turned around, Ahat maintained the magic manifestation and Yongke followed me. He is using the mana he has saved up to his heart’s content.
The luckiest thing about hell is that the passage to the lower level and the altar are not on opposite sides.
If the passage had been at the end, he might have barely reached the third floor. Or was it that they were all annihilated by exhaustion?
Hwareuk! On the way, he moved to the place where the altar was, illuminating the dark road. There were monsters who flocked to see the flames, but the number was almost non-existent compared to before. I took the lead and cut them all down.
Before long, the shape of the altar appeared.
widely! As soon as they entered the range of the altar, the monster’s approach stopped like a lie. Everyone took a breath and looked around.
“Whoa…. Is the altar on this floor here? Fortunately, it is close.”
“yes. But there might be some guys who will run to you.”
The monster is instinctively reluctant to approach the altar where it is used as a sacrifice for ‘resurrection’. But the presence of reason and hostility means that you can control your fears.
There are many rational monsters on the 4th basement floor, so even if you want to rest your mind, you have to keep an eye on your surroundings. It only relieved the fatigue of the body for a while, but there was no complete rest.
Besides, this is like the last maintenance.
If you leave this altar, unless you come back on the way, you have to break through the 4th floor and start the battle with Arihan Hector right away on the 5th floor.
“Everyone is resting. I am not wary of my surroundings.”
“No, sir. I···.”
The tired-looking layer moved, but her legs stumble.
It is a reaction to personality, [Guardian]. There are no other side effects as much as strengthening the stats with pure will, but fatigue was unavoidable the longer the battle went on.
Drakhan placed my custom sword on his shoulder and shook his head.
“no. You save your stamina. You are the one who will take the lead.”
Layette sat on the floor of the altar without hesitation. You look more tired than you think. You’ll get tired of balancing because you don’t have one arm. However, what I was worried about was another matter.
The biggest cause of Layit’s death, and the [Guardian]’s risk.
-“If the enemy to protect is the enemy, you will be weaker than anyone else.”
If you meet Layette’s colleagues as enemies here, just like you met Choi Ye-chan this time…
‘Annihilation cannot be avoided.’
Of course, Layette was also aware of that, and when I made a new plan, I made a clear determination. One mistake is enough. He’s a trustworthy person, so don’t worry.
Hong Jae-yu leaned against the pillar of the altar, and Ahat, fortunately, did not appear to be tired.
“Are you still?”
I looked at the place where Riel’s voice was heard.
Riel was watching Arwell’s shape change. Whoa! A blue light flowed from Arwell’s body, but that was all. She was still unable to transform into a weapon.
It was the same when fused with Soul Iron.
‘Ok. I shouldn’t have told you about Noah Park in advance.’
If it was a game, I wanted to call the last saved save right away.
If Arwell is still there until the last maintenance on the altar is completed, he may have to make a decision to return.
The nativity scene could not be used as a custom gun in actual combat. It was because the bullet could be produced stably and quickly only with Arwell’s assistance.
‘ha. Nothing is really easy.’
When was it easy?
“Jihan! Come here!”
At that moment, Drakhan, who had gone to the border, called me. He put the holy sword he was still holding into the scabbard and moved towards it.
“Do you know who that person is? I’ve met you before…”
Drakhan pointed his sword somewhere and said. Could it be that a rational monster approached me? He quickly launched [Ignition] towards it.
Whoops! When the flames were generated, the face of the ghost who approached this place was revealed.
A handsome blonde man. He held up his hands as if to show that there was no hostility.
“ah!”
The man I met for the first time looked at me for some reason and had a welcome expression on my face. And he stuttered as he recalled his memories.
“I didn’t see anything wrong either. I can’t forget the light of the holy sword. That, your name is Seo… or Seo Ji-han, right?”
Who is this bastard, you know my name? not less Because there was no red color. However, he is a person who does not know even if he looks back on his memories. I had never seen such a man in the original.
“Oh, come to think of it, didn’t you even say your full name? My name while I was alive was Layue Grace.”
‘Layue Grace’?
It’s also an unknown name. It’s suspicious, but should I just ask Drakhan to cut him off?
“Mr. Drakhan. Just because I won the award…”
[Wait, Seo Ji-han. That guy must be…]
But for some reason, the Holy Sword seemed to know the man.
“Sword. Do you know who it is?”
The Holy Sword was also quite surprised, so he said in a rare bewildered voice.
[…] Maiden Curse. It’s hard to believe, but it’s the masked guy who is Liu’s older brother.]
In an instant, the brain stopped.
“yes. Lady Aiden.”
Behind the hospital, a man in a suit with a sword was talking on the phone. A hunting dog of the Aiden family called ‘Unknown’.
“Today, two guys approached.”
Myung said looking down at the two dead bodies with neatly cut heads on the floor. These corpses came after the childhood friend of Lady Aiden, whom she was escorting.
That arrogance must be paid for in pain, but this place is close to the hospital. Moving with the smell of blood wafting around would only harm others.
[- I don’t even get tired of it. Are you a magician?]
Aiden’s voice was heard.
“Yes. Seeing that he moved even after being decapitated, it was clear that he had a spirit.”
[-···I know. Don’t try to dig up information for nothing, just kill them all. It may cause other damage if it takes time while keeping it alive.]
“I will keep that in mind.”
Even though the call was on the phone, Mu-myung bowed his head and answered.
[-Is Noah Park still there? A wooden sword…]
“You mean a wooden sword?”
Anonymous recalled the memory.
Gaju, Ron Ahart brought an unknown wooden sword to Noah Park, who only opened her eyes and did not respond.
It seemed to be for the purpose of checking if there was a reaction by giving even a cherished item to the unknown.
“no. It is still. Even when I put it in my arms, it doesn’t even respond to a hug.”
[-is that so. Still—%@#$@$@$.]
Jigsaw! Then, suddenly, there was a noise, and Aiden’s voice was cut off.
“miss?”
I called her, but the call was over. I tried to call again, but I couldn’t. For some reason, the call was out of range and the radio wave was not caught.
“what? Why is this all of a sudden…”
– Creepy.
A developed sense sent danger.
Mumyung reflexively grabbed the sword and looked around. But no one came near him. However, the true nature of this sense of incongruity was quickly realized.
‘The sky…?’
Unnaturally, the sky was turning red. It’s not sunset time. Rather, it was around two in the afternoon when the sun should have been shining.
I had an idea in my head, but it was a negative assumption that made no sense, so I pushed it into a corner.
Then screams began to be heard from the hospital.
Mu-myung hurriedly rushed to the hospital. He didn’t have time to go to the entrance. I climbed up the wall as it was and entered the hospital room where Noah Park was.
Fortunately, Noah Park was staring at the ceiling with her eyes open. With her wooden sword by her side, she said.
“Ahhh!!!!!!”
But painful and loud screams kept coming from outside the door.
Shreung! Mu-myung pulled out his sword from his waist and headed out into the hallway.
As if waiting, the sword flew straight to his head. But Mu-myung lightly beat it and pierced the neck of the swordsman next to him.
“Big, gagging…!”
Without even looking at the corpse, Mu-myung drew out his sword and turned his head.
“What else are those?”
An unknown group wearing black robes was approaching this place, killing everyone they saw.
“Are you being targeted like this just because you’re a young girl’s childhood friend?”
Mu-myeong, who was greatly mistaken, had no choice but to sympathize with Park No-ah in a different way.
