Tower – Arihan Hector (3)
Seo Ji-han flinched at the red border that filled his field of vision.
I was expecting it, but seeing it in reality is terrifying. Are they all enemies? There was no exaggeration to say that the 5th floor itself was the domain of the beautiful Hector.

Whether the system handles this information as well, the amount of time you can stay in Hell appears.
‘It’s time for the penalty to be alleviated as a privilege.’
In the original story, only 4 hours were allowed to stay in the abyss.
It was not enough time just to move, but even battle had to go through. Even if I cleared the Hell Road, it wasn’t the first time I’d seen the ending of being annihilated because there wasn’t enough time to escape.
‘Hell is not called the most difficult area in the ‘103rd Tower’ for nothing.’
The holy sword hung on Seo Ji-han’s shoulder spoke in a cautious tone.
[I feel the energy of the beautiful Hector. 70 degrees east from here. Estimated time is about 5 hours.]
It’s only 5 hours to go. However, the conditions provided are much better than in the game. The Holy Sword will tell you where to go, and there is also a means to shorten the travel time.
‘Usually it is necessary to bring a wizard who can perform teleport magic.’
The one in the group right now is Ron Ahart, a wizard stronger than him, even though he can’t teleport.
It wasn’t for nothing that I told Ahat to conserve mana as much as possible. It is much faster to move with wind-type magic compared to teleporting with a gap between magic manifestations.
“hey. Securing the view…”
At that time, as other people followed Seo Ji-han, Hong Jae-yu asked in a small voice. But even that was loud in this quiet place.
“… Be quiet.”
At the same time, blue lines drawn through the darkness began to appear in all directions. Waiting for the party to come, the wizards were already ready.
“Know.”
Drakhan, who understood the situation, was already passing by Seo-han. Whoa! Dozens or hundreds of magic coming soon. As they drew near, Drakhan took off his mask.
As the suppressed personality was activated, all magic within the range evaporated without any warning.
-what?! All the magic is gone?
– Breathe…! Get ready again!
When something unexpected happened, voices were heard from somewhere. Hong Jae-yu, who realized that he had already had wizards waiting, noticed his mistake.
Hong Jae-yu said to everyone with an expressionless expression. Instead, she was definitely imprinted. The souls here have an intellectual ability that is unlike any living person. Don’t be vigilant about being dead.
“Then we will proceed as planned.”
Drakhan put on the mask again, and this time Ahat moved. Kugugung! The wind blew around Ahat, and everyone’s bodies began to rise slowly.
“Jihan. Where can I go?”
“It is east. Turn it slightly to the left than it is now.”
At that time, the blue lines appeared in various places to see if they would shoot magic again. Ahat looked at it and said nothing.
“Hmm, it looks like he’s coming again. I’ll be moving a little quicker, so be prepared.”
As Ahat moved his hand, the body that floated in that direction began to move. You can’t see it with the naked eye, but you can feel the strong wind pushing it upwards. It wasn’t magic that tried to climb to the top with the outer wall of the tower for nothing.
Aww! Fear of floating in the air, magic began to pour indiscriminately into the position where he had just stood. Perhaps because the magic has just disappeared due to Drakhan’s personality, he doesn’t seem to want to miss this opportunity.
Thanks to that, the noise was enough to mask the gust of wind.
“You idiots.”
Ahat, who was wearing gloves, patted his wrists and muttered. Soon, the wind that carried the sergeant and the party began to move quickly.
-Ugh?!
-wind···?
Even if you hide the noise, it is difficult to hide the wind that is passing over your head at high speed. The other ghosts waiting on the ground felt the cool breeze and raised their heads.
The magic that someone had shot from the ceiling revealed his vision. The party moving into the air was confirmed by everyone’s eyes.
– Hey, it’s up there!
– What kind of magic is that?!
He doesn’t seem to think that Ron Ahart, the head of the wind attribute, would have come to Hell. Ahat looked back and said to Seo Ji-han.
“I found out sooner than I thought.”
“Because there is no wind in Hell Road.”
It is a movement speed that is difficult to match with magic. Still, the magicians started to fly in the correct direction.
Drakhan turned to the ground.
“Hong Jae-Yoo. Please support.”
A black light rose from his hand, and Riel turned into a bow. And Hong Jae-yu, who approached Drakan, started making a magic sword.
However, the shape was not that of a sword. The ‘blue arrow’ was made by Hong Jae-yu’s hands.
“It’s a good arrow.”
Drakhan received high-density mana arrows and slowly pulled the string. When I saw a blue light from somewhere, I put a tense protest towards it. Nettle! A crackling sound was heard, followed by a violent explosion.
I could see chunks of debris flying away in the flames caused by the explosion. It will take quite a while to restore it back to its original state.
Seo Ji-han also lifted a custom gun from the weapon case to help.
Then Arwell’s voice was heard from behind, wondering if he couldn’t just watch.
“Please write me. I will be stronger than that weapon.”
“Can you?”
“Then rest.”
Seo Ji-han answered by making the barrel longer with a soul iron. If this were the case, even at a much greater distance, the magic bullet would reach it without dying.
“The battle doesn’t end as soon as you move like this. I don’t know how much to fight. Besides, unlike Riel Arwell, you’re not with your partner right now.”
When I lay face down in the air, the aim is constantly shaking because it is in a state of being lifted by the wind. But for Seo Ji-han, it wasn’t a problem. He put his finger on his trigger and let the mana flow.
I pulled the trigger when the wildly shaky aim slowed down.
The red hot magic bullets were fired like cannon balls.
Perhaps because he was hit by a mana arrow, the wizards were preparing for the defense magic that they were preparing. Although the blue curtain was erected, Seo Ji-han’s magic bullet easily penetrated it and reached the ground.
Quang! An explosion broke the curtain from the inside. Perhaps because the barrel was extended with Soul Iron, its power was stronger than before. As a result of the explosion, thick smoke began to rise. Thanks to the blindfold, the time has come to take a breather.
Seo Ji-han got up and looked at Arwell.
“So, don’t think that you haven’t done anything yet. You’re stocking up on your strength for the final battle.”
Arwell opened his mouth for a moment and then smiled lightly.
“All right···!”
“More than that, are you okay with your mana?”
Seo Ji-han handed a mana potion to Hong Jae-yu, who continued to create high-density mana arrows. It certainly didn’t show any signs of exhaustion as his magic ability was as high as that of a wizard.
Hong Jae-yu drank it all at once and threw the empty glass bottle towards the floor.
“Then that’s it.”
So I intercepted the monsters and moved on.
Perhaps they passed the place where the wizards were concentrated, and on the ground, only ghosts running along the direction of the party’s movement were visible. However, unlike sorcerers, those souls who appear to be ordinary heroes are bare without ‘weapons’.
It’s an outfit. You’re wearing the clothes you’re about to die, but that’s just rubble. It is not a device with real effects.
[04:24:12]
After about an hour and a half, the Holy Sword opened its mouth.
[Arihan Hector is almost in front of you.]
After hearing this, Seo Ji-han called out to Ahat.
“It is said that the holy sword is getting closer! We will start slowly.”
“okay. Don’t let your guard down.”
Seo Ji-han stood up with the weapon case on her back. Arwell and Hong Jae-yu followed.
‘···Well then.’
It is through the influence of ‘necromantic magic’ that Arihan Hector can deal with the souls of the abyss. The ghost that appears when necromancy is manifested is a spirit that was forcibly brought up from the Hell Road.
However, no matter how noble Hector, there is no way he could have the deterrent power to hold so many souls in his weakened state.
‘It must have been using the location of the Necromancer.’
It was clear that it was simply placed under his weak coercion by magic. This is because, as a ‘soul’, a monster has the property of being unable to resist necromancy. Even if detailed orders were impossible, he had no choice but to obey the beautiful Hector.
“I go first.”
Seo Ji-han rolled up her arms and jumped off. He rode the Mana Road and a blue line began to be drawn. The ghosts saw the light and were flocking to Seo Ji-han’s fall point.
Seo Ji-han saw this and muttered with a smile.
“Then I’ll go take care of the wizards from behind.”
After Seo Ji-han, Arwell, and Hong Jae-yu jumped off, Drakhan soon raised Riel, which had become a sword. Drakhan looked at Layate before jumping to the ground.
“Don’t be swayed by your emotions, Layette.”
Layette nodded her head calmly. Seeing this, Drakhan put his hand on the mask and jumped out of the magic.
“Layer. We are not ready either.”
Shreung! Layette, who drew the great sword, walked next to Ahart. You can see a fire burning in the distance. It was fast approaching towards it. Layette focused and stared at the flames.
“…I see a beautiful Hector.”
Arihan Hector was sitting and looking at the layer. There were other monsters around, but they were lined up in an orderly manner, as if they had made a path for you.
Whoa! Soon the magic began to fly. Layette drew his sword and slashed them, but there were too many of them. A black beam that could not be stopped passed by Ahat’s cheeks.
“Ahat-sama?!”
Ahat said, wiping her cheek lightly.
“It seems that the old man is suffering because he did not use the road he made for him. Then he should use it for honor. I will land.”
When Ahat stopped the magic, the feeling of floating that made him float disappeared. While falling to the floor, magic poured out, but Ah Hart, whose hands were free, immediately manifested another magic.
👌👌👌👌 The veil of the wind moved wildly and began to tear the magic and the monsters nearby. As he landed on the floor like that, the shooting magic stopped like a lie.
Ahat dispelled the spell, and Leight stood before him. At that end, the beautiful Hector slowly began to rise.
“Chuckle. are you the first Layette, Ron Ahart.”
Ahat frowned at the sound of the beautiful Hector’s voice.
Since he was quite familiar with the owner himself, it was easy to recognize the changed appearance of the beautiful Hector.
“I heard that you were young, but it was true. Beautiful Hector.”
“I may soon be younger than you. I will tell you, my juniors, personally…”
Arihan Hector’s words did not continue. It was because Layette’s greatsword, which had approached in an instant from a distance, was swung towards his neck.
Aww! The great sword that hit the invisible veil could not decapitate the beautiful Hector. But the aftermath had an impact on those around him. The monsters arranged in all directions were broken by shock waves and separated into fragments.
“… ho. Is this energy the magic of ‘Maiden Curse’? A religion I made up.”
Arihan Hector spoke leisurely, but he was not immune from the aftermath. Even though he blocked the great sword with magic, he couldn’t absorb it completely, so he was pushed aside.
“…you look pretty desperate, don’t you?”
“Are you scared? I see that the tongue is longer than it used to be.”
When the conditions were met, the magic of the curse was activated. The lifespan of the layer began to burn rapidly.
“That motherfucker. I won’t let you talk again.”
The sword was swung again. It was faster than before.
