Chapter 159, 11th Floor
Jihoo, Lee Hee-yeon, and Kim Mi-ji finally reached the end of the 8th floor. Certainly, as the power increased, it was not a task to reach this point.
“I will take a day off here and break through tomorrow. Understand?”
Jihoo’s words.
Outside was guarded by [Knight of Soul], [Black Child], and [Durahan] made of level 8 Bukkake.
“More than that, our artifacts… … ?”
Lee Hee-yeon asked first.
A few days ago, Jihoo retrieved the [Essence of Water] from Heeyeon Lee and Miji Kim. It was to create a new artifact for the two of them.
The problem is that it’s not finished yet.
“I will finish it tonight. You guys are getting some rest.”
“… … Is that possible?”
“Yeah, I was finishing up.”
The time-consuming task has been completed.
Two artifacts go to Lee Hee-yeon. The first one is [The Great Warrior’s Leather Armor], which is the equipment obtained from the Red Desert Ruins.
That in itself isn’t bad, but the level was disappointing. It had strong fire resistance and heavy armor physical defense effect, but it was great that it was level 9.
So I did the simplest upgrade.
『Great Warrior’s Leather Armor [Fire/Physical] [History] [Lv. 10]』
: Leather armor used by the elite warriors of the Red Desert. It has strong fire resistance and heavy armored physical defense, but is soft and flexible so it does not hinder movement.
In addition, the hand of a maker with genius magic talent touched and gained a weak status.
* [Advanced heavy armor physical resistance]
* [Advanced Fire Resistance]
* [Weakness of the Great Warrior]
First of all, it was given a rank.
The second was to make it [Advanced] by adding [Intermediate Force Field of Water Property] to [Upper Intermediate Physical Resistance of Heavy Armor].
This is a simple optional upgrade, so you don’t go from level 9 to 10. However, this ‘rate’ is not a surprisingly large change, but it makes it easy to exceed the 10th level of the demon.
‘It feels like it was made for that purpose.’
And the second is [Robe].
The [Essence of Water] obtained by Lee Hee-yeon. And it was the [Snow Mountain Robe] made of the leather of [Hersia] obtained from the [Snow Mountain of Reversal].
The performance itself is awesome.
The [Advanced Energy Fusion] Jihoo obtained from the artifact was combined with the [Hyeonmu’s Will] from her essence. In addition, Jihoo’s artistic sense and genius magical skills are combined to create a [station field], [full body armor], and [8 cold tentacles] made of cold water, and [lower ego] that moves actively by adding [lower ego]. ‘s will] was created.
This was to the point that Jihoo coveted it, but since Jihoo had a witch’s robe, it was only redundant.
“Try this.”
Jihoo handed over the two finished artifacts to Heeyeon Lee.
“gulp.”
“… … Doesn’t that sound too artificial?”
“No, it’s not artificial at all. Like it’s grace. No, it will feel like being baptized.”
Lee Hee-yeon was truly moved.
It didn’t reach the [Treasure] level, but it was the first time in my life that I had a level 10 artifact. So I have no choice but to be thrilled.
She wore leather armor.
OK.
Fire!
A faint red aura spread over her body, giving her a status. It was the combined power of fire resistance and a heavy armored physical force field.
and.
flutter –
wore a robe
It might seem strange to wear a fur robe like this in a ridiculously hot place like the 11th floor, but it’s like a block of ice.
Hwaak-
A completely different blue cold air flowed out of the surroundings. This is the concentrated power of water and cold. In other words, it was a ‘case’ like a power.
“I will tell you how to use it. Its signature features include a force field, eight tentacles, and full body armor. Usually it’s just a thought. Tentacles require practice, but they contain a lower ego, so the more you master them, the more they will grow with you. For example… … .”
Jihoo explained for a while.
There was a function that he wanted to be like while he was making it, but it was a kind of use where the lower ego was running on eight cold tentacles and actively knocking out the flying bullets.
Aside from long-distance weapon defense, it would be possible to actively block a nearby enemy’s sword without the user being aware of it.
Of course, you will have to do it yourself.
“Crazy- Awesome! Is it real? and-! Is this the spirit that grows? What, is it like that?”
Jihoo nodded.
After all, the only thing called ego is the spirit.
It was difficult to explain further.
And this time, Miji Kim.
“First of all, I simply raised the level.”
It was a robe she obtained from the Red Desert Ruins. Made of red leather, this robe didn’t need to be touched much.
I just added a simple but high-level circuit to charge the elemental power when I encounter [Flame] with [Attribute Conversion Charge] after overlaying a [Weak Attack].
『Dawn of the Red Desert [Flame] [History] [Lv. 10]』
: Robe of the priest who received the blessing of the Red Desert. He scooped up a handful of the flames of the beating sun and created an inextinguishable prominence.
* [Prominence]
* [Advanced Fire Resistance]
* [Upper Intermediate Flame Absorption]
It wasn’t even difficult.
Perhaps the most important is this.
『Purification of Xuanwu [Water/Transformation] [History] [Lv. 10]』
: Mixed with the essence of the water containing the power of Hyeonmu and unknown power, the resistance between the s*xes was close to zero. Although the unusually strange connection between attributes has a weak character, the power of the divine beast, Hyeonmu, made even that acceptable.
* [Advanced water attribute control boost]
* [Lake of Purification]
* [Weak Hyeonmu’s power]
[Lake of Purification] at the end is a combination of [Advanced Water Attribute Transformation] and [Advanced Attribute Resistance Reduction].
This time, I used a lot of SP.
Jihoo’s circuit skills made it possible to make elemental control power amplification, which was intermediate level, higher level, but it was not easy to combine [higher level elemental resistance reduction] from [Relic] without loss.
Everyone wants to combine several streams to make a bigger stream, but it’s better not to do that.
A pond with a few streams.
No, you have to make at least one river to say that you are looking at an S-class producer.
“With this, you should be able to use high-ranking water attribute magic as well. If you replenish the cold with Hercia’s horn, the water attribute will become even stronger.”
“… … Eh, this is what it is.”
From nob le mt l. co m
Miji Kim couldn’t keep her mouth shut.
This isn’t just some magical equipment. The grade is [History], but the level is 10. Besides, there are two unique name options.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that with that alone, she obtained the minimum qualifications to be active on the 11th floor. This skill was a 5-star, and it takes a long time to become a 6-star.
However, artifacts omits that time. Is this what it means to buy time with money?
“Oh, thank you. Is this too big?”
“Does it look big right now? But on the 11th floor, you have to give me the best by-products. Will you fill that up soon?”
All you have to do is go to the 11th floor.
Before that, it might feel like Jihoo invested a lot of effort, time, and money, but that doesn’t matter the moment you go up to the 11th floor.
A level 11 monster.
And Cerberus, who has reached level 13.
I’m not saying you can catch them right away. But what if you catch the 11th monster first at level 10? How about making a new artifact with that by-product and fully arming it with a [Treasure] grade?
If only one of them is [Legendary] grade, the 11th floor will be easy.
“Let’s go to sleep. And we’re leaving at dawn tomorrow.”
So it was the next morning.
The sun does not rise or rise here. It’s just that the dark, grayish sky brightens a little and then darkens a little.
“let’s go.”
Levels 9 and 10 are not difficult.
The 9th floor was empty, and it was the fastest clearing place even with all the other floors combined. In particular, if you have a [Treasure] level flying artifact and force field, you can finish it quickly.
The real problem is the 10th floor.
“Follow me for now!”
Jihoo raised his head.
The 9th floor caught my eye. The background is a sky full of stars. No, should I say space? There was nothing, and the distant dot of light was like a star in the sky.
and.
ridge-
The body floats.
Gravity is much weaker.
And a large rock in front of me. It was small to be called an island, but to be called a rock, there were a lot of stones with grass and trees growing on them.
and on the other side
There is a door leading to the 10th floor.
That place is the [Black and White Stairs].
Level 8 to 9 monsters appear everywhere. Some go around in groups and self-destruct, while others curse.
There are many byproducts that can be obtained here as well, but there is no need to work here with this level of power.
Run straight to the 11th floor.
Ugh-!
Booung!
The three moved quickly.
Evasive maneuvers, aerobatics.
And even Blink.
I mobilized everything I could.
And I was able to climb to the 10th floor in only 5 minutes.
Jihoo came up with a system phrase saying that he had reached a new floor after a long time, but there was nothing special except for a few achievements and an increase in survival SP.
“Huh- this is the problem.”
“Wouldn’t the 11th floor be impossible today?”
It is an endless staircase.
Some say 100,000 steps, others say 1 million steps. But in reality it is only 13,000 steps.
Of course, that’s long too.
But what some feel longer is that the stairs themselves are an ordeal. Mental damage affects the body as well.
Instead, those who have climbed it once say that it feels like 13,000 different steps when climbing again.
From then on, you can fly.
“If you look at [The Guide to the Tower of Indomitability], you said that mental strength is the most important thing. When the SPR is 50, it takes 10 hours, and when the SPR is 20 or less, it may take more than a month. The important thing is that the time of the person who arrives first becomes the standard.”
Time is relative.
Same with this stairway.
“What do you mean?”
They both didn’t understand.
But Jihoo, who has a deep understanding of space, knew.
“If I go up there in 10 hours, it means that the time in this space is only 10 hours, whether it takes the two of you a month or a year.”
Whoever arrives first becomes the criterion.
The problem is that the trials they have to go through differ depending on their mental strength. To do that, Jihoo needs to give you an artifact with [Advanced Spirit Amplification] one by one.
The person with the weakest mentality here was Lee Hee-yeon. Originally, it could take more than 2 weeks if you look at her mental strength, but if you help me this much, it will be reduced to 2 to 3 days.
Also, it will be of great help to Lee Hee-yeon. It is only natural that there will be rewards if you overcome trials.
“Let’s start right away. Even if you guys take a week, your arrival is the same as mine. So don’t worry, just get to the end. got it?”
From nob le mt l. co m
Miji Kim and Heeyeon Lee nodded their heads at Jihoo’s firm words. Kim Mi-ji has relatively high mental strength, so she will be able to endure it. However, Lee Hee-yeon absolutely needs an artifact.
The horse lasted two or three days, because it wasn’t just walking, it was the [ordeal] itself.
Jihoo stretched out his foot on the stairs.
Fire!
As the view changed, Lee Hee-yeon and Kim Mi-ji, who were supposed to be next to each other, could not be seen. It is the same space, but it is folded into a different time.
Exactly 8 hours later.
The three were able to reach the 11th floor.
