Tower – Arihan Hector (2)
…are you aware of the layer too?
In the past, the information provided by [Butterfly Effect] informed that the lifespan of the resurrected layer was up to 5 years. Time has passed and only four years have passed.
There was silence for a while, but it was Grace who broke the silence.
“Available.”
Grace replied as if nothing had happened.
The magic that appeared on Liu, who has the personality of ‘immortality’, was also paid for ‘lifetime’. However, whether he was also a wizard’s bloodline, there was no objection to it.
‘Is there no sin in magic?’
Hong Jae-yu, who had been quietly listening to the conversation while maintaining his vigilance towards Grace, came out.
“Hold on, instructor. Dedicate your life? What is that…”
“Anyway, I only have four years left.”
Layette looked at me and said.
“Seo-Han. To be honest, do you think you can win with this power?”
I hesitated for a moment at Layette’s question.
can win. It would not have come in this configuration if it were not for that possibility.
Of course, as always, there were unexpected variables, but I was hit by that once or twice. Since the worst-case scenario was assumed, these named characters had a sufficient chance of winning.
However, in other words, it is a possibility that we can win to the end. It was true that the chance of subjugating Arihan Hector was not 100%.
“There is a chance.”
“look. Are you sure you are not 100% in charge of this?”
“Where is 100% of everything?”
“Then we have to increase the odds, right?”
Layt smiled with an expression that he knew that would happen, but he couldn’t help but smile.
He didn’t want the layer to increase his stats by shortening his lifespan. .
The individuality of the layer, ‘Guardian’, amplifies the ability according to the will, so the better the body’s ability, the greater the effect.
As the enemies we will be dealing with are not the only ‘beautiful Hector’, if you think of the power increase of the layer as an event, it was like luck.
Even if it’s a game where the character’s lifespan doesn’t matter.
Drakhan’s mask moved towards the layer.
“Layate, are you okay?”
“Yes. It’s the life that came back to kill Arihan Hector anyway. It’s still a short life, but if you kill him, you’ve achieved your goal in life. I don’t want to miss this opportunity.”
Drakhan also didn’t seem to have any intention of dissuading Layit.
Hong Jae-yu is probably the only one who opposes Layette’s idea here.
However, Jae-Yoo Hong kept his eyes closed and lowered his head.
‘There’s no way you don’t know the story about Lairt’s colleagues.’
It is also said that the reason Layette accompanied this attack was because of revenge.
With that tacit agreement reached, Layt told Grace.
“great. But wouldn’t it be okay if I had already died once?”
“Have you performed the Resurrection Ceremony? Hmmm, it will still be possible. How much would you like to bet?”
Layette wanted to think for a moment, then spread out three fingers.
“Take three years. How possible is this?”
“The longer it is maintained, the less effective it is, and the shorter it is, the greater the effect. Theoretically, it is possible to dramatically amplify the stats for 1 minute. But up to that point, it’s just not possible at my level.”
“Then to what level?”
“Let’s try a little application.”
Whoa! A blue light rose from Grace’s fingers. It was engraved on the floor of the altar with a writing instrument.
Before long, I realized that I had drawn a magic circuit.
‘Is it a Maiden Curse magic circuit structure?’
Somehow I’m used to it It had the same basic structure as the [Ice Spear] engraved on the mana rod. Ahat looked at the circuit to see if I was right.
“Is it the basic circuit of a Maiden Curse? Did you change it up a bit?”
“Yeah, maybe this is it. How do you see the Lord?”
“Hmm. I don’t think it’s bad. Did you designate it as a target rather than a period?”
“you’re right.”
“It will be a little less efficient, but in this case, I think it will be cheaper.”
[What do you mean by that?]
Even though he lived for a long time, the Holy Sword had no interest in magic and only had shallow knowledge. uhm. Maybe it means that only when fighting against the beautiful Hector, the lifespan is burned to increase the stats?
As soon as the applied circuit was completed, Ahat nodded.
“If this is the case, it will be fine for Layette-kun. If you follow the situation, it will only cost you a few days.”
Layt, who was just watching the scene, opened his mouth as if the story was over.
“What was it?”
“Simply put, the three years of life you pay are only wasted when dealing with the beautiful Hector. Instead, the increase in stats will only happen to the handsome Hector.”
“···Aha?”
As if she was going to perform magic right away, Grace began to prepare. Ahart seems to be watching the process from the side.
‘For now, this story seems to be over.’
I turned my head to look at Arwell. Perhaps it was because Arwell had heard of a method other than killing Park Noah, even though he tried to hide it, the above expression was being revealed.
‘…If the layer makes sacrifices, the odds will definitely increase.’
If so, I’ll have to raise that possibility.
I got up from my seat quietly and moved to Arwell. Riel saw me coming and said with a questionable look.
“What, why?”
“It has nothing to do with you. Rather, Arwell.”
“yes. Seo Ji-han.”
“As you know, there are other ways, but we can only use them if we live.”
“······Yes. I am aware of it.”
I’m sorry Riel, but the uncertainty about Arwell’s weapon form had to be firmly grasped now.
“Now that things are like this, you know you have to do your part too, right? Follow me.”
Arwell followed me and stood up straight away. It seemed that Riel was about to follow her, but she was seen sitting down again at Drakhan’s insistence.
“Did you save a lot of stamina during that time?”
Then you can consume a little of your stamina.
I and Arwell took the risk and left the realm of the altar.
In order to regain the senses, practice was a quick way.
“So, let’s sort it out…”
When entering for the first time, Arihan Hector will face off against Layette and Ahart. The other wizards are dealt with by Drakhan alone, and the rest are me and Hong Jae-yu.
After quickly eliminating the other personnel, it was a simple plan to join the subjugation of Arihan Hector.
It may not be enough compared to the beautiful Hector, but Ron Ahart is the only heir and head of the wind attribute. It would be enough if it was to sustain the opponent, not to knock them down. In addition to the ‘guardian’ personality, the layer that amplifies the stats with curse magic is also added.
“okay. How about Arwell?”
After getting enough rest, I talked to Drakhan while preparing to leave the altar.
I said, recalling memories from a few hours ago.
“It was slow, but we succeeded in transforming it into a weapon. I am not going to hold you back.”
Arwell and I, the two of us, rushed backwards at the gathering ghosts. I had a holy sword, but I didn’t pull it out.
It failed at first, but in repeated crises, a blue light flashed and Arwell managed to transform it into a weapon. However, it was remarkably slow.
It doesn’t matter that I’ll use it as a gun anyway, but it also meant that I couldn’t organically respond to other situations. This can be filled with custom weapons, though.
“Not that.”
“It’s about the untitled junior.”
I looked at Arwell, who was helping Riel with his luggage.
“I don’t think it was very shocking to risk Noah’s lifespan in return for a certain effect. So it could have been turned into a weapon even now. Well, it’s way better than life.”
“What do you plan to do when you go back?”
“I brought Noah here and learned magic because it’s impossible for Grace to use magic. Ahat-sama and I are the only ones who can use magic here…”
As you know, Ron Ahart is the head of the wind attribute.
Even if you have already abandoned your duties as a householder, it is reluctant to learn new magic that might affect the magic you have already mastered. So, I was the only one left with the elimination method.
“Ahat-sama is impossible, so I learned it. I don’t know if it will or not.”
“You have magical talents, so it won’t be a problem.”
“I wish I could.”
The difficulty of the magic itself did not seem difficult. However, I was worried about not being able to learn the circuit structure as a ‘characteristic’ because I understood the circuit structure only with my head, but did not actually express it.
Even if I wanted to practice, this cursed magic consumed quite a bit of mana, so I couldn’t waste it unnecessarily right before the final battle.
When everything was ready, Grace, who was watching us, said.
“I can’t go downstairs anyway. Instead, I’ll escort you as much as possible through this 4th basement floor. Your odds will increase when you stock up on strength.”
It’s good to save power. Then Ahat, carrying the backpack, asked with a sullen expression.
“But what if a soul like yours collides with another ghost?”
“It will break if it is the same. It will recover again over time. In fact, it’s no different than living here. ”
“Then, have you ever met other rational beings? We’ve never seen anything but you.”
Grace shut her mouth for a moment and shrugged her shoulders with a look of helplessness.
“You must know everything and ask the Lord, right? Probably all the ghosts you saw here couldn’t even talk like me.”
“It was, too.”
“yes. I dealt with it a while ago. They are all potential enemies.”
The more you go underground, the more recently dead souls are. As a result, reason and hostility become more and more distinct, but the most recently deceased soul is at an intellectual level that can converse like Grace.
It wasn’t because I was lucky that I hadn’t met such a monster on the 4th basement floor, was it because of that?
[The reason I came up here may not be because of the handsome Hector.]
As if hearing the voice of the holy sword, Grace looked at me and smiled bitterly.
“But it doesn’t matter, is it? You better avoid useless battles. Let’s just use each other.”
it is sympathetic The only reason he helped us was to kill the elusive Hector. Even if you lied, it has nothing to do with that.
“Then let’s move. I will guide you along the way.”
Grace began to move confidently towards the darkness.
Apparently, the ghost spirits are different from the sensations we feel in the Hell Road.
Although visibility was not secured, there was no difficulty in moving. Unfortunately, the monster he encountered along the way was melted by Grace with his curse magic and continued to move with ease.
After only one or two battles for several hours, he succeeded in arriving in perfect condition.
The red passageway was the last one, so it felt quite different from the passageway upstairs. Just seeing them moving like living tentacles was very unpleasant.
As if he was familiar with such a scene, Grace said without a change in her complexion.
“Then I wish you good luck. I am waiting here in case you return. I hope that I can kill Arihan Hector.”
“…we think so too.”
There was no intention of wasting time at the entrance, where the morale was lowered just by looking at it.
Before everyone else, I stepped into the sticky red mist. It felt like a viscous liquid was sticking to my skin.
I stepped forward and stepped forward. It was the same street as the passage I had passed so far, but it felt particularly long.
I reached the end of the passage with a calm mind. And I went to the 5th floor.
[The end of Hell, you have entered the ‘Abyss’.]
At the same time, the systems engraved in red began to appear in front of my eyes at a rapid pace.
[The body begins to lose strength.]
[I feel the limit of my abilities.]
[The will disappears.]
[If you stay for a long time, you cannot get out of Hell Road.]
