113. Chapter 113
The ordeal of the tower did not let Sewoon and Yoo Seo-ah cross the desert.
As in the trials so far, in this ordeal, various monsters broke through the sand and threatened the two.
Such as scorpions boasting tails with poisonous stings, and desert worms that are over 5m in length. It was to the point where I could feel that each monster was stronger than the one downstairs.
– Through the internal air, the second herb of the Heolrang sword method, the Heolrangah (血狼牙) is strengthened.
– According to Ja Ha-gong’s description, heat is added to martial arts.
Awesome!
Seun’s sword quickly cut off the scorpion’s tail.
Durandal, which had been heated up by Jaha-gong’s good energy, cooked the cut parts with a chiik sound.
Perhaps it was because of the heat of the desert, even though I didn’t intend it, the positive energy continued to pour out.
I’m leaving it alone for now, but this never boded well. It was because of the topographical characteristics, but it meant that he was not properly handling the internal air spirit method.
still.
‘This must be more useful than I thought.’
The sword, heated to the brim with yang, seemed useful in many ways.
Under normal circumstances, this isn’t very good at stopping an enemy’s bleeding, but what if it’s a regenerative foe like a troll?
Or, what if it is an enemy that is weak to fire like a plant type monster?
It is clear that the sword imbued with good spirits will boast surprisingly outstanding power.
Sewoon thought so and adjusted his yang qi as much as possible.
Training in the desert wasn’t the only thing Seoah Yoo was doing.
“I will help too!”
“Are you okay?”
“Yes, I am used to it!”
Yuseoah joined the battle.
It’s been less than two hours since I started moving through the desert with my inner energy, but in the meantime, I was surprisingly used to walking in the desert.
And that effort was reflected in the battle as it was.
-Player Yoo Seo-ah uses ‘Tarantula’s Third Leg’.
Sudden!
Yoo Seo-ah ran through the monsters at an amazingly fast speed.
The swords in both hands slice through the wind and pass through the enemy’s vitals.
Every time that happens, the body fluids of the monsters spurt out, and the golden sand grains get wet.
Seoah Yoo, who had defeated about ten monsters in an instant, raised her sword and widened her eyes in surprise.
“how is it?”
“Great! I feel like my movements are much smoother than before!”
– The constellation ‘Crown-Wearing Spider’ nods, saying that he has finally come out with his contracted figure.
Because Yoo Seo-ah’s swordsmanship emphasizes speed, footwork was more important than sword power.
Since he had become accustomed to using his inner energy in his legs while moving on the desert, it was natural for his combat power to rise.
Like that, the two quickly moved across the desert, wielding their swords in sight of the monsters.
Grains of sand, scorching heat, and monsters attacking from the sand. None of these things posed much of a threat to either of them.
‘It’s time to come out soon… … .’
The ant hell Sewoon was looking for was not a place he found as a guideline for his journey.
The guide map of the journey clearly pointed the direction of Oasis as Seun wanted.
The reason I was able to find the ant hell was thanks to a colleague I was with at the time.
He said he couldn’t trust Seun’s directions and ran in a different direction, but it turned out that the ant hell was there.
At that time, Sewoon had no choice but to abandon his colleagues because he did not have the strength to escape the ant hell.
However, it was different now.
He had the strength to escape the ant hell, as well as the confidence to hunt the monsters under the ant hell.
‘Even if it’s not a hidden piece, if it’s a monster that creates an ant hell like that, it’ll give you a lot of merit.’
Even if that wasn’t the case, he would be able to absorb a lot of stats through the power of gluttony.
So, Seun had plenty of reasons to seek out the ant hell.
“Are other people doing well?”
“If you’re worried, why don’t you check with Clan Chat?”
“… … I remembered what Sewoon said. I won’t mention it unless it’s absolutely necessary.”
Seun’s advice that people should improve their judgment. Yoo Seo-ah seemed to have taken that advice.
While climbing the tower, there were as many things as various trials, but I couldn’t tell you how to attack each time.
They had to survive by their own judgment.
If you don’t develop that habit now, you will eventually be weeded out later.
“Oh, and I… … .”
Suwook!
“Uh, huh?”
Yoo Seo-ah’s new model suddenly went down.
Looking down, the sand was flowing like waves.
‘found!’
The ant hell grew in size in an instant.
At first, Seoah Yoo’s body was about to fall out in half, but as the speed of sand falling out accelerated, in an instant, the diameter exceeded 10m.
“Yuseo, foot law!”
“yes!”
Confused by the sudden situation, she soon regained her composure and breathed energy into her legs.
I take my legs out of the sand and move my feet that have become lighter with my inner energy.
Against the flowing sand, her new model rises upward.
“Kkaduk, kkaduk!”
As the prey escaped, the owner of the Sand Hell began to react wistfully.
Two-meter-long hairy pincers protrude from the center of the sand hell and brutally cut down the poor cactus. No, it would be more accurate to say that it was crushed rather than cut.
“catch!”
“thank you!”
When Yoo Seo-ah hesitated as the speed of the sand flowed down gradually, Sewoon reached out and pulled her up.
On the contrary.
“I’m waiting up there!”
“Mr. Sewoon!”
The moment Yoo Seo-ah climbed up, Sewoon jumped into the sand hell.
It was a reckless action, like sticking his head into the jaws of a beast, but it was an action that Sewoon had already planned.
Tadadat!
Grains of sand were falling like a landslide, holding the player’s feet and blocking their movement.
Even so, Sewoon ran on it as naturally as running on flat ground.
This is the power of foot law.
It was a level of proficiency that was incomparable to the level that Yoo Seo-ah had just begun to get used to.
go by go!
As Sewoon ran down the sand hell, the owner clicked his claw happily from below.
From his point of view, it was like the prey crawling under his feet, so it had to be.
The sight of him swallowing sand with his furry tongs snapping was truly menacing, but to Seun, it was just an object of experimentation.
‘It’s an opportunity to check Durandal’s power.’
At the residence, with Mamon’s help, Durandal’s seal was lifted one level.
A new ability that came with him, the unbreakable sword. The ability that durability is not consumed by any attack matched surprisingly well with Seun’s power of greed.
Will Durandal be able to withstand the power of the Noble Phantasm and not break like other weapons?
Now was the perfect opportunity to check it out.
Taat!
Sewoon came down halfway through the ant hell and jumped high.
The target was the ant ghost in the middle of the ant hell, hiding the body and sticking out only the tongs.
-Through internal air, the third herbivore of the blood sword method, blood attack (血狼襲擊) is strengthened.
– According to Ja Ha-gong’s description, heat is added to martial arts.
Seun corrected his posture in the air.
The inner air that reached this suddenness formed the shape of a wolf, and the surroundings blazed like fire.
burning wolf.
Its appearance was indeed menacing, but it was nothing compared to the claws snapping from below. It was like hitting a rock with an egg.
And just before Sewoon touches his tongs.
Finally, the power of the Noble Phantasm dwelled in Durandal’s blade.
– Opened the treasure house of greed.
[ Giant’s Sword, Equezax ]
– A treasured sword that has passed countless battlefields without a single flaw along with the giant Eke. Its power is evaluated as “a sword so good that you can feel it pulsating in the hand.”
Is it because of the nickname of the giant’s sword?
As the power of the Noble Phantasm dwelled, the shape of the wolf that surrounded Seun grew larger.
The shape, which swelled in an instant like a flame, grew so large that it filled the ant hell in an instant.
pounding, pounding!
Through the grip of the Durandal, he could feel a pulse like a heartbeat.
It feels like saying hello to thank you for letting me use my strength properly.
Only then did the ant ghost, feeling threatened, stop the clinking tongs. He realized that he was no longer a predator, but a victim.
It immediately buried the tongs under its survival instinct. It was to turn around and dig deep into the sand to avoid the attack.
However, it was already too late to avoid the attack.
If he had tried to avoid it, he would have had to jump out the moment Sewoon jumped up.
Even if he comes and realizes and runs away… … .
Kwak!
Kwagwagwang!!
It was only the prey of the burning wolf.
-You have completed the Hidden Quest, ‘Owner of Sand Hell’.
-Additional points are awarded for the ordeal ‘Crossing the Desert’.
A system message indicated that he was dead.
Through the ant hell where the flow stopped, fragments of it came into my eyes sparsely.
– Predated the ‘ant ghost’.
-Absorb nutrients to increase Strength by 5 and Wisdom by 5.
-The constellation ‘The Hungry Prince’ is very satisfied with the crispy and well-cooked carapace of prey.
-Constellation, I admire your consideration for breaking the ‘hungry prince’ into bite-sized pieces that are easy to eat.
After all, it was a hidden quest.
The tower always gives players trials, but never forgets the rewards.
It was extremely rare that any hardship that existed in trials was meaningless.
beating, beating… … .
‘also.’
I looked down at Durandal at the dynamism that was getting weaker and weaker.
The power of the giant’s sword, Equezax, was disappearing.
Even so, it didn’t disappear like other weapons, and I didn’t see even a small crack.
This proved that Durandal could perfectly withstand the power of the Noble Phantasm.
In addition, the power of the Noble Phantasm was much stronger than other weapons.
If it was a sword-shaped Noble Phantasm from now on, it seemed that the power of greed could be used without worrying about the weapon disappearing.
After climbing up the now stopped ant hell with a few leaps, Yoo Seo-ah was looking at Sewoon with blank eyes.
“Darakan was also great enough. You are stronger than ever.”
“As you get stronger, shouldn’t I become stronger too?”
“I think Se-woon has already crossed that line, right?”
She shook her head.
However, Seun, realizing that it was a joke, smiled lightly.
“Since you’ve finished your errands, shall we speed up?”
“great! I won’t lose on speed either.”
“Then shall we bet?”
“If I win, how about granting me a wish?”
“Okay, I’m going to win anyway.”
“Then, here we go!”
Taat!
Anyway, the only thing I guessed from the hidden quest on the 6th floor ordeal was ant hell.
Therefore, Sewoon ran quickly toward his destination, catching up with Yoo Seo-ah, who was ahead of him.
