Paper 160: Entrance to Hell
When Jihoo reached the end of the stairs, eight hours had passed and he could see Miji Kim covered in sweat and Heeyeon Lee collapsing on the floor.
“Heeyeon!”
Jihoo ran right up to her.
Not only the armor of the whole body, but also the head and face were in serious condition. As expected, it seemed to take several days, but it wasn’t just climbing the stairs.
Kim Mi-ji, who was sitting on the stairs next to her and gasping for breath, opened her mouth.
“It’s worse than I thought. A typhoon blew, my body became heavy, and lightning struck. It all seemed like fantasy, but it wasn’t easy.”
From nob le mt l. co m
Miji Kim said.
Jihoo was much easier than that. A few fantasies passed, but they didn’t seem real, they just passed like a picture.
‘Maybe it’s because he’s almost immune to the mental world.’
If Kim Mi-ji was at that level, Lee Hee-yeon would have been even more difficult. Jihoo took a potion from his bosom, fed it to her, and took a break.
after a few hours like that.
Heeyeon Lee woke up.
“I almost died. Next time you come, you don’t have to go through this, right?”
“Yeah, but can I take some more rest?”
“are you okay. More than that, [super sense] has been upgraded.”
“… … huh?”
“After I overcame the ordeal, I got a super sense sub-special ability. It’s an assistant to the mental system, but I don’t think it’s going to be a nuisance because of the low level of mental strength.”
Jihoo nodded.
Glad then
Because what she lacked the most was mental strength. In addition, the characteristic [super sense] has no limits and its versatility is considerable.
In particular, if mental strength supports you, your potential will increase to the point where there is no limit. That’s why she was able to increase the utilization of her artifacts by more than 120%, in addition to her own abilities.
Certainly, it makes no sense that she, who was at level 5 of power, is here now.
‘If you think about it that way, the unknown is considerable.’
No matter how good an artifact is, using it is a different story.
“Then let’s go to the 11th floor.”
“Once you drilled through the 10th floor, it must be quite big in itself. Can I fly next time?”
“Yeah, it is.”
There must be flying artifacts too, it wasn’t difficult anymore.
The three entered the entrance to the 11th floor.
* * *
Roaring!
The first thing Jihoo could see after reaching the 11th floor was a ridiculously huge door.
It is a dark red plain with nothing. A bare tree that rises intermittently. The huge boulder was lit with red fire like a torch, and monsters of hell could be seen gurgling around.
and the farthest back.
There was a huge cliff 5 km away, and the entrance to hell completely occupied one side of the cliff.
Jihoo’s [Clairvoyant] made it possible to grasp everything at a glance. The two next to them seem to have failed to see what Jihoo saw, and their eyes are fixed only on the gate of hell in front of them.
‘It’s amazing.’
Still, it’s fortunate that the space isn’t that big. Although 5km may seem far, it can be reached in an hour if you walk quickly.
“But will it open? Whoo-“
Heeyeon Lee said.
tightly closed
According to the strategy guide, once you hunt Cerberus, the door will open automatically. Just like the 10th floor, you only have to clear it once.
Lee Hee-yeon and Kim Mi-ji forcibly let out a large breath, probably uncomfortable because of the heat.
It was the same for Jihoo, but to a lesser extent.
It’s partly because of the [Witch’s Robe], but it’s also because the cold flame bow set had basic fire resistance.
“It would have been a big deal if we hadn’t prepared our equipment beforehand.”
The flames that occasionally erupted from the ground took a quick look around to see if there was anything to burn, then disappeared. It happens frequently.
If you measure the temperature, it is said that it goes from at least 70 degrees to 300 degrees.
-You have reached [Entrance of Hell], the beginning of [Indomitable Tower].
– The user’s power level has been confirmed to be 9.
-Survival SP increases by 200%.
– A [Piece] connected to the [Setting Intervention Authority (EX)] is detected in that space!
– Achievements made!
.
.
.
Some achievements raised about 30,000.
If you count only the things you’ve collected so far, you’ve already reached 60,000 SP. If you kill a few monsters on the 11th floor and go down tomorrow morning, you should be able to collect about 100,000 SP.
If you have 100,000, you can make at least one useful setting. Before climbing, I practiced holding a bow after making it at a general store, but it was definitely not easy.
That’s why I wondered if I should develop a bow-related talent, but I needed to think about it a little more.
“hmm.”
At that time, a tree that had not been burned by intermittent flames came into Jihoo’s eyes.
‘Occasional fires disappeared because there was nothing to burn. But the tree is still there?’
It was quite award-winning.
I’ll have to check it out. It was a long distance, but his [Clairvoyance] captured this distance perfectly.
“… … Can’t you feel it?”
That means you are at least level 9 or higher.
Jihoo used the [Insight Eye]. Then, I could see the chloride attribute energy flowing through the tree.
‘This doesn’t show the past, it shows the flow of power.’
Before obtaining [Insight Eye], one of the abilities I saw when upgrading [Clairsight] was to read the flow of power.
Its sub-powers seem to be included.
‘The types of trees that appear on the 11th floor… … .’
I gathered the information I saw in the strategy book and the information Jihoo knew. When I figured out the shape and power characteristics of the object, it became [Read].
『Hell Tree [Tree/Fire] [History] [Lv. 10]』
: The hell tree that grows in hell does not burn in the flames of hell, and is harder and more flexible than most metals. Also, as long as it has the chloride property, it can ‘grow’ at any time.
* [Hell’s Chlorination (12%)]
* [Advanced Fire Resistance]
“This is why you are coming to the 11th floor.”
It’s nonsense.
I knew that when I reached the 11th floor, I would have more than enough of everything I had invested so far.
However, I did not know that this much material would come out of a single tree. No matter how hard it is to endure in hell, does a level 10 person make sense?
‘I can make a lot of things with this, but if I make a flame-type staff, something ridiculous will come out.’
I also looked at the rocks next to me.
Not as much as the trees, but this was also unusual.
『Black Hell Rock [Gold/Chloride] [History] [Lv. 8]”
: A black rock found in Hell. The rock in question is a black rock containing 3% Black Kirium, 20% Iron, and 1% Adamantium.
* [Infernal Chlorination (5%)]
“and-! It’s nonsense.”
“what. what’s the matter.”
“What do you have?”
This time it’s adamantium.
The percentage next to the [Hell Salt] option is the [Hell Salt] attribute energy that can be obtained by processing this rock as a whole.
The two of them, who were watching the surprised Ji-hoo, asked what was going on, but there was no time to answer them right away.
‘How do I process this?’
The bonanza is clear, but there is no way to harvest it. Trees can be cut into twigs and cut into barrels, but rocks require specialized skills.
But Jihoo is different.
“Let’s get some of this and go.”
Jihoo said to Heeyeon Lee and Miji Kim.
The undead was put in through [Dominance (Lv. 04)]. It was because it was convenient to break through the 9th and 10th floors.
But now, seeing the flames shimmering in front of my eyes, I don’t think I’ll be able to use Heukah, Spirit Knight, and Dyurahan at will.
‘If that’s the case, I’ll have to add the chlorine attribute.’
Jihoo decided to cut down the entire [Hell Tree] and take care of it.
As soon as the [Knight of the Spirit] came out, I could see that he hesitated in the heat. He wouldn’t feel pain because he was undead, but he sensed that the armor itself could melt.
“Are you going to be okay?”
take it with you once
If a level 10 or higher monster pops out of here, there should be a tanker to block it even for a moment.
‘It would be nice to directly plant resistance, but it’s not easy.’
Having a direct attribute is significantly less efficient than giving resistance separately, but it’s still much better to give the flame itself than to create a level 10 resistance to the flame right away.
Or you have to consume a whole hellwood, which is a shame.
“Will you cut this once?”
At Jihoo’s command, the spirit knight pulled out the blade for an aura. Certainly, it is because of the low-level ego, the execution of orders is smooth.
Ugh-!
Spaw!
thank god.
It was a level 10 hell tree, so it would have been difficult if he hadn’t been cut down.
‘I’ll take this as it is.’
Jihoo approached the rock.
this is really dumb
[Hell’s Flame (5%)] is an option that can be extracted. But if that happens, 1% of [Adamantium] is a waste.
Yes, then it uses [Extract].
[Extract options] and [Extract/Combine/Fix (Lv. 07)] are distinctly different. Jihoo sat down in front of a rock and used Extraction.
-The level of [Extract/Combine/Fix (Lv. 07)] is low.
“… … .”
I was a little worried.
[Adamantium] cannot use [Extract Option]. Because obviously it wasn’t an option. If you think about it, it is much faster and more efficient to extract [Salt of Hell] than to extract [Salt of Hell] through option extraction.
‘I’ll have to upgrade.’
-Do you want to save [Extract/Combine/Fix (Lv. 07)] as [Extract/Combine/Fix (Lv. 08)]?
– A total of 8,000 SP is required.
-Are you sure you want to save?
“… … It costs more than you think.”
But it’s less than when I posted it before.
Could it be because Jihoo’s power level has risen? Or is it because the levels of [Setting Intervention] and [View] have risen?
Even now, survival SP is rising a lot. Achievements came in while appraising [Hell Tree] and [Black Hell Rock].
This much can be tolerated.
The problem is that it doesn’t seem to work at level 8.
‘Rather than raising this level, use SP one by one?’
Jihoo looked around the plains.
Hundreds of rocks at a glance.
Raising the level seemed better.
[Adamantium] must use extraction unconditionally. [Hell’s Salt] could be extracted through [Option Extraction], but this had many limitations. Margin scroll consumption is basic and you have to collect 2% separately, but collecting them one by one to make 100% is a huge waste.
-[Extract/Combine/Fix (Lv. 08)] has been done!
-Extract [Hell Chloride (2%)].
-The level of [Extract/Combine/Fix (Lv. 08)] is low.
still low
It was a waste of SP, but I couldn’t miss this.
‘There are many places to use 100% [Hell’s Salt]. If I put it in the [Soul Knight] right away, I’ll be able to hit level 10.’
What would happen if you put the power of such a flame into adamantium? What kind of material is born, and what kind of artifact can be made with that material?
I was curious and couldn’t stand it.
“Shouldn’t it be better to put it in a higher-grade mana stone?”
no.
Do both.
There will be many differences depending on where you put it, and you need to know all of them.
Jihoo felt the fluttering feeling after a long time.
“Let’s try it.”
-Do you want to save [Extract/Combine/Fix (Lv. 08)] as [Extract/Combine/Fix (Lv. 09)]?
– A total of 16,000 SP is required.
-Are you sure you want to save?
It needs a lot.
But what about the results?
Raise one more time.
-Do you want to save [Extract/Combine/Fix (Lv. 09)] as [Extract/Combine/Fix (Lv. 10)]?
– A total of 32,000 SP is required.
-Are you sure you want to save?
tremendous.
However, considering the SP and achievements you will get on the 11th floor, you can handle this much. No, it may be a suitable investment.
-[Extract/Combine/Fix (Lv. 10)] has been done!
– By reaching level 10, you can materialize up to [Intangible Energy].
– Achievement accomplished!
‘What is this?’
I was curious, but Adamantium comes first.
I used up all the SP I had collected on my way up to the 11th floor, but with this achievement, I collected about 10,000 again.
After all, the answer is to go upstairs.
-[Extract/Combine/Fix (Lv. 10)] is used.
– Extract [Adamantium] from [Black Hell Rock].
Sseuseuk.
Dark silver grains gather from rocks. it’s like sand There were occasional fragments the size of a fingernail, but most were spread out as small grains of sand.
‘I guess this is why the rocks remain like this.’
Even if you are an S-rank hunter who can climb to the 11th floor, [emotion] itself is difficult. Even if you did your appraisal, it would be difficult to extract adamantium unless you carried the whole rock and went down.
So it’s not going to work that well in the market.
‘It was 1% of the total mass of this rock.’
That’s just what came out.
Amount less than 1 kg.
But that’s enough.
Because there are many rocks like this around.
『Pure Adamantium [Gold] [Treasure] [Lv. 10]』
: The hardest known metal in the world. It is pure adamantium without any impurities. Even if a great artisan comes, it is unknown whether he will be able to extract only adamantium so purely. I can only speculate that an unknown force has been added.
* [Advanced Durability Enhancement]
* [Advanced Magic Conduction]
* [Infernal Chlorination (3%)]
“… … !”
This was unexpected.
