On the first day, most of the parties who challenged the 8th floor by consuming all the opportunities to enter had the same difficulties.
Torches, magical lighting, and light all to no avail on the 8th floor.
It’s because the ‘shadow spiders’, monsters living on the 8th floor, ate up the light.
So, I tried using a magic scroll that stored the 「Impression (暗視)」 spell, but it was clear that the field of view that could be secured in an environment where there was no light at all was limited.
It is not enough to respond to the attack of shadow spiders that attack in groups by riding in all directions and even approaching the ceiling.
In addition to this, the pit traps they dug here and there, and the sticky cobwebs that filled the pits.
In a word, the difficulty level of the 8th floor, the starting point of the challenge floor, was grotesque.
The sound of the song did not stop among the users who had climbed directly to the 8th floor within the first day of the Tower of Challenge appearance.
But here.
When everyone is making a bad sound, whether it be singing or screaming.
There was a man leisurely standing at the entrance on the 8th floor.
* * *
‘It was probably three weeks after the 8th floor was captured, right?’
The basics of attacking are memorizing and mastering the information necessary for attacking, such as terrain features and monster placement.
However, since it was covered with an obstacle called darkness so that it could not be memorized, it was only natural that the clearing would be delayed.
‘The number of entries is limited, but it must have been unavoidable because the only way to attack was to get used to dragging the corpse.’
I should say it’s fortunate that the death penalty didn’t apply, but it was the same as having to roll and roll.
‘It’s enough for me to do my own thing.’
It didn’t matter to Do-jin whether others suffered or not.
[A penalty will be added from the 8th floor of the Tower of Challenge.]
[The number of consumables that can be used from now on is limited.]
The 8th floor, which swallows up even the light, is no different from a dedicated stage for Do-jin, who has the means to perfectly overcome the darkness.
Rеаd at ոоbӏеmtӏ.соm
Ma’an Red Night (寂夜).
The left eye, which resembles the silent night handed over by the founder of the night, spreads a clear view in front of Dojin even in a place where there is no light.
‘It’s disgustingly disgusting.’
At the same time as I entered, I saw large spiders rushing in, reaching up to the height of a person’s knee.
Usually, this was the place where the tombs of those who first entered the 8th floor were located, but this was not the case for Dojin.
‘It’s over there.’
Do-jin clearly confirmed that the spiders were flocking, and found the exact direction in which they were less crowded.
‘First of all, lure.’
If you stay still, those moving through the ceiling will attack you from above.
Dojin ran to avoid the spiders approaching from the ground and ceiling.
The sound of thick spider legs tapping on the floor chases Do-jin.
‘I like a space that is as narrow and confined as possible.’
While moving through the 8th floor, which was entangled like a maze, Dojin’s body floated.
Seeing the well-dug pit, he threw himself.
Seeing that the hole was covered with a spider web, I thought it was really vicious.
Do-jin, who jumped hard using 「Yeomdong」 and landed lightly, ran again.
It’s because I haven’t found a place I’m satisfied with yet.
‘If you’re greedy, you’ll be surrounded on both sides. I have to rob it here.’
Then I came to a stop where it wasn’t the best, but not the worst.
The passage is narrow and the ceiling is also lowered.
Dojin turned his head and looked in the direction he was running.
I could see the spiders appearing as if pouring in from a bend in the road and pushing their bodies into the narrow passage.
Horrible bottlenecks felt like watching a bunch of hair forcefully pushed into a Pringles container.
“Then let’s bake it.”
The magic circuit of Do-jin, who speaks quietly, is dyed golden.
The golden magic unique to 「Book of Truth」 emits light and creates a spell.
“Wave of Fire”
「Wave of Fire」 is a magic that advances while covering a wide range, but it had the disadvantage of quickly dispersing as it covered a wide range.
However, if it is an environment where fire cannot spread over a wide range, the disadvantages can be offset.
The fire compressed in a small space produces the effect of advancing more intensely and farther.
Whoa!
The narrow passage was filled with fire and heat.
crash. Get it, get it, get it. Ayeek.
When he pushes toward Dojin, the fire is pouring in, and when he turns around and runs away, he can’t move because his own people are endlessly rushing at him.
In the end, the spiders died as a group cooked by heat and fire.
While doing doping by burning the tobacco he had taken out before he knew it, Dojin watched the situation.
“No matter what you say about the shadow spider, in the end, a bug is a bug. If you saw them die in front of you, you should think about running away.”
Are you angry at the death of your own people? Are you not thinking? The spiders were trying to somehow push through the narrow passage.
It was a good thing for Dojin.
It is said that range magic hogs mana, but it can process a lot at once, so it is a business that remains as a result.
‘Now the corpses are piled up, so I can’t even come in anymore. If we wait until the corpse disappears, more will come in, but… Then the other side might be surrounded.’
Do-jin, who turned the shadow spiders into charcoal several more times, left through the opposite passage.
Then, not far away, I heard the sound of a spider running.
It was a sound that was blatantly revealing that they had not yet met face to face, but they identified the location and came running.
Do-jin laughed fiercely at the footsteps of the spiders, who even felt their anger.
“You bastards, weren’t you just stupid?”
I thought the guys who kept coming in while watching me burn to death were just stupid, but that wasn’t the case.
It was a sacrifice to buy time until the comrades who went back surrounded the enemy.
“But it’s a bit late.”
The only problem is that it wasn’t fast enough.
Dojin stretched out his hand toward the place where footsteps could be heard from among the complicatedly forked roads.
“Crawling Fire”
Do-jin chooses and casts the so-called luminous spell, which remains the longest among the magic currently available.
The fire, wriggling like a spider, turned the corner and disappeared.
ride, ride, ride. Ayeek.
The shimmering flames and wriggling shadows overlapped, conveying the misfortune of the spiders.
“I’m sorry, but I’m at a disadvantage here. Be content with that for now.”
Dojin, who greeted with a small gift, moved again.
“Keugh!”
However, after a while, Dojin had no choice but to stop walking.
It was bitten by a spider in return for missing a spider that was lurking in the ceiling very quietly.
A wizard is a wizard even if he works harder than other wizards to increase his stamina stats.
At the same time that a lot of HP was consumed, the spider venom debuff hit Dojin.
Although the spider was roasted immediately with an electric shock and a fireball connection, each and every such trivial consumption was fatal for Do-jin, who entered the 8th floor alone.
“… If you want to take care of everything by yourself, even if you use all the potions as mana potions, it won’t be enough.”
I can’t help it. A mistake is a mistake Quickly admitting it, Do-jin drank a detoxification potion and a healing potion to restore the damage.
“sh*t.”
But in the meantime, spiders were filling his back and front.
Fifteen seconds of wasted time? It shouldn’t even be 30 seconds long.
Well, 15 or 30 seconds was enough time to catch up and be surrounded.
“ha. Is it this far?”
Breaking this siege was not a problem.
The problem is that if you engage in a battle while surrounded, the consumption is severe.
After one such wasteful engagement, there was no room left to defeat the boss.
Unfortunately, this episode is a failure.
‘It’s bittersweet.’
I knew it in my head.
It was almost impossible to clear the first challenge.
But breasts are another issue, so it’s true that I had expectations that I could do it quietly.
In conclusion, it was proved that it was arrogance.
‘I’m this tidy, but what about other people?’
I can see everything, and even though I have a rough idea of how to attack, the clear angle collapses with one mistake… … . It’s not like you’re going to head this into the ground and eventually catch it.
‘There are too many monster babies.’
The shadow spiders shrugged their bodies up and down as a group as if giggling toward Dojin, who shook his head.
It was an act of ignoring it while treating it as prey.
Seeing that, Dojin sighed.
“Are the bugs ignoring me just because I got sprained once? driving me crazy.”
Dojin’s eyes shone fiercely.
“Catching the boss is the problem, you guys are not the problem.”
Thinking that it was already wrong, Do-jin set aside his worries about waste and consumption and started running wild.
It roughly broke through the siege of the spiders, and it was baked or fried with remarkable firepower.
And then I walked around as much as possible.
If you watch and analyze the recorded video, you should be able to draw a map of the 8th floor.
For now, all you have to do is go around as many places as you can and store your data.
At the end, Do-jin waited for a group of spiders approaching him in an empty lot.
It was at that time that the fire of the tobacco that he had cherished went out.
“… Still, the last blow has been recovered.”
As a signal to throw the tobacco on the floor, the most sincere and courageous of the remaining spiders attacked Dojin.
And Do-jin endured until the end and collected the recovered mana and burned those who rushed along with his body.
That’s how Dojin’s first day, the first round, ended.
* * *
Time passed, and exactly a week after the Tower of Challenge appeared, all users witnessed the same message.
[The tower of challenge is stagnant, and the light of Laves, the star of destruction, is getting brighter.]
[Bella’s blessing evaporates without a trace in Rostania.]
[Regenian’s power to resist fate gradually weakens.]
[Damage to monsters reduced by 30%]
[Increases damage taken from monsters by 30%]
[Acquired EXP reduced by 30%]
[Item drop rate reduced by 30%]
The internet world, including Lotranet and other LOST communities, as well as various SNS, was covered with harsh words and expressions.
People who endured the harsh reality of leveling up day by day and picking up items.
Since he had taken the only pleasure from them, his anger was, of course, great and wild.
Of course, Moebius was overcharged with swear words, but as always, they responded quietly with no communication.
The spark that lost its way jumped towards the internet broadcaster who had not cleared the 8th floor yet, despite declaring the first clear, attracting aggro, and challenging with sponsorship.
Like that, clearing the 8th floor was a savior, and failing to clear the 8th floor was a traitorous atmosphere.
