Episode 141 – Things to be avoided are bound to meet
#One
garden.
The team split in two and went their separate ways.
Manusya searched here and there without worry, and Cale’s eyes were taken by the first sight.
The walls made of plants seemed to be vulnerable to fire magic.
Anais tried to light a fire, but failed.
Again, the ziggurat was not a place made haphazardly.
Shouldn’t it be 8th class magic to burn the wall?
“however… … Why is it so wide here?”
“I know. Emerson. How is the road?”
Emerson shook his head.
She had the power to predict the weak points and patterns of monsters, not that she was gifted at finding paths.
She corrected the knowledge.
“I think you guys are mistaken, but I am emotional! And you specialize in identifying patterns and weaknesses? You are not a guide.”
“Yeah, it was. It’s too wide here… … .”
Unlike District 1, this one had no end in sight.
It feels like the plants will come running at any moment.
[Key-Ik-!]
At that moment, I encountered a demon for the first time.
two tentacles.
huge flower.
A green mask buried between them.
They walked on their legs, and they were quite fast.
first battle.
They quickly lined up for battle and began fighting an unknown enemy.
“The enemy’s arcana is the Empress! Watch out for the tentacle attack! Weakness… … what?”
“why?!”
“Can’t you figure out your weakness? I think it will take time.”
“good-.”
Duduk-.
Melanie stepped forward and drew the enemy’s attention.
Plants cannot penetrate hard rock.
In addition, it will be vulnerable to blazing fire.
[Melanie’s Plane: Incorporo]
[Enchant: Salamander]
Roaring-!
The fiercely burning hair heated the surroundings.
Demons howled ferociously, perhaps feeling threatened by that figure.
[Key-Ik-!]
Starting with tentacles flying, a full-scale battle unfolded.
Turong-!
The strength of the tentacles was formidable, and Melanie, who used Matushak to bounce them off, frowned.
strong.
Much better than the daemons I’ve encountered before.
Destructive power that reminds me of the watchmen between the 40th and 50th floors.
Melanie gulped and swallowed.
It might be dangerous if we go to a long-term battle.
“Let’s finish this quickly. Guys, your strength is not normal.”
“okay-.”
Pearson cast a buff spell.
At the same time, the attack of Alano and Anais began.
[Ignara]
[Altus]
Quarrereuk-!
Should I say Alano?
She simply demonstrated the power comparable to that of the 3rd class.
The plant-type demon, engulfed in flames, wriggled its tentacles and died.
[Key… … .]
“good! These guys are only strong, but their durability might be terrible!”
“Pour it!”
Qurrr-!
Backed by Pearson’s buff magic, they instantly poured magic and burned the demon’s mask.
A demon with greatly increased attack power.
This was enough to alert the party members.
“Everyone suffered.”
“Whoa… … Did you do well in the first battle?”
“It’s because everyone’s skills have improved. Trace, how are you?”
Trace, who moved together, nodded blankly.
When I fought alone, I went through all sorts of hardships because of those tentacles.
Not only was it difficult to approach, but it was not easy to embed a sword into the mask.
However, they wiped out the enemies in an instant with a stunning pass.
A connection that exudes admiration.
The tee, which had been put together for quite a long time, was clearly revealed.
he said quietly
“Great. however… … Can I fit into the perfect link?”
“Don’t worry about that. We’ll let you know.”
“Yes, I will work hard.”
Alano gave a warm laugh.
Seeing that, Trace felt a sense of relief.
It’s only natural that you don’t want to see her terrified.
No one would want to see a benefactor frightened.
Trace was determined.
To do my part as a member of the same team, I have to learn even if I go through trial and error.
“I’ll do my best.”
“good. Then let’s keep going.”
The firepower was sufficient.
Alano led them to explore the labyrinth again.
The road to the top was rarely found, but somehow I managed to find it.
[Hi-Hi-]
And, the shadow carefully chasing them also climbed the stairs.
#2
[Kieack!]
A daemon that was blazing with magic lightly shot.
Picking up the magic stone that fell slightly, he handed it to Guillermo, who had come with him.
“Thank you.”
“Hey, but why didn’t I give it to you?”
“Senior, I’ll give you something bigger.”
“… … well, good.”
It was already the tenth.
Her expression was getting worse little by little.
Manus watched her for a moment, then moved on again.
Guillermo secretly passed the magic stone to Nia and said.
“I don’t know why you’re doing that.”
“Hmph, he must be trying to get me off the league. It looks very hollow.”
“… … .”
Manus heard clearly, but deliberately pretended not to hear.
He was still paying attention to the apostle’s words.
Magic stones are things in the erosion zone.
If it continues to be absorbed, Nia’s existence may be eaten by the tower.
I was going to give him a big one and then watch it.
Of course, he didn’t know that Guillermo secretly gave him the magic stone.
No matter how much he did, he didn’t have eyes on his back.
“You should get me a really big one, okay?”
“Don’t worry.”
Manus opened his senses and proceeded to search the surroundings.
The road to the next floor was easy to find by using [Dux], so now was the time to enjoy a special event.
A ‘Hermit’ that appears randomly from the 1st to 5th floors.
One of the hidden bosses, it was a guy who could get a huge reward just by catching it.
As a fixed reward, it drops an artifact and a few magic stones, which is the most useful defensive artifact in the entire area 2.
‘Where are you?’
I was thinking of giving the magic stones to Nia in moderation, and it would be better to have the defense artifacts for Melanie or Guillermo.
He didn’t really need a better artifact.
The memorize ring was enough for now.
‘As for the defense artifact, I’ll have to catch a watchman and use it roughly.’
Matching equipment was not an important content in this game.
A level that is good if you have it or not.
However, as a deceased person, he knew.
In order to enjoy the hidden dungeon hidden by the creator, it was necessary to labor for equipment.
That was a very late story, so the first thing to do now was to clear the tower, but-.
“By the way, what are we looking for?”
“I will find the hermit.”
“If you are a hermit… … Did I warn you earlier?”
Manus nodded.
Guillermo asked curiously.
I warned Year 1 and Alano, but can they catch it?
No matter how much Manus had monstrous skills, he thought that his limits were obvious.
“Can we catch it?”
“of course.”
“The grounds?”
“It’s not only Emerson who knows all the enemy’s information.”
When Guillermo and Nia heard him, they were quite shocked.
Emerson’s ability for foresight and foresight was a very fraudulent one.
If she had been good at fighting, or at least at Pearson’s level, the seniors in the first year might not have been Cale and Anais.
By the way, Manus also has that ability?
does this make sense?
Nia’s golden eyes stared blankly at him.
“If that’s the case, you can believe it. Because you can’t lie.”
“We have enough. The magic stones that come out of there will be given to you.”
“Uh, yes. Of course, I didn’t have my share at all.”
They set a goal and moved.
Manus and his party have not yet left the first floor.
Like that, without even knowing that the roads crossed, they moved with different goals.
[Hee hee hee-]
In the meantime, the Undun was quietly hiding and watching everything.
#3
I didn’t know that the search difficulty would go up so much just because one area had changed.
Both Cale and Anais were slowly getting tired.
only 2nd floor.
He had to fight countless demons and slowly gnaw away at his health and mana.
Alano, too, seemed quite taken aback, and was gradually losing his pace.
It was strange.
It was as if the daemon constantly knew where he was and attacked him.
She glanced around.
‘I don’t feel anything strange. Are the ziggurat aware of us?’
Several hypotheses popped into my mind.
Perhaps, Manus might be aware of this phenomenon.
She paused for a moment and blew mana into the communication orb.
“This is Alano, Manus, can you hear me?”
“I hear you. What happened?”
“It’s on the second floor, but I’m getting the feeling that demons keep coming towards us. The kids are getting tired, too.”
Urgent footsteps could be heard beyond the marbles.
Manus’ voice also sped up a bit.
“How long has it been since you went up to the second floor?”
“10 minutes? 20 minutes?”
“Go back the way you came. hurry.”
At the urgent-looking order, Alano nodded.
Manus’ explanation continued.
“There is a hermit behind it. Enemies will keep coming. Come quickly to the stairs on the first floor.”
“-okay.”
Alano cut off communication and hurriedly shouted to those who were waiting.
If you stay like this you will wither and die.
After that, only terrible things will happen.
I never wanted to go through a death that no one would remember.
“run! Back the way you came!”
“yes? Didn’t you suddenly say that if you stay here for a long time, something strange will come out- Ugh?!”
“Stop talking and hurry up! Unless you want to die!”
Alano grabbed Pearson by the back of the back.
Everyone recognized the urgency and unfolded their own magic.
Alano ran with the boost magic she used before, Melanie with the wind spirit, and Anais and Cale with the flame magic.
Everyone ran with full power.
The sound of demons could be heard from far away.
The enemies’ cries coming from behind aroused the fear that was dormant deep in their hearts.
“aaa-!”
“I don’t want to die!”
Pearson and Trace ran and screamed like crazy.
As if there was no use of magic, the two of them had no choice but to run around bare-chested.
A tangled labyrinth.
When everyone was just running on instinct, Pearson instinctively shouted.
“Hey, left here!”
“Are you sure?!”
“I don’t know! But I think you’re right!”
What is it?!
Anais screamed, but instinct was telling him to obey.
Pearson stepped into a very mysterious world.
However, the sensation disappeared leaving only a faint afterimage.
Fortunately, I hadn’t advanced further than I thought, and I could see the stairs heading down right away.
Demons usually cannot descend to other floors, except for hermits.
Alano looked back as he descended last.
[I-hehehe!]
An unknown creature clinging to the wall and approaching.
A black mask with the Roman numeral 9 written on it was frantically chasing them.
She remembered the old days.
It was so vague that no attack would work.
The sound of rattling chains.
That laugh that terrifyingly laughed.
“-you guys.”
“senior! Hurry!”
“Go and find Manus first. I will be in charge of this place.”
“but-!”
“It’s okay. If we keep going like this, it’s only a matter of time before we catch up.”
Alano made a rational choice.
She is there to protect.
Faith will be kept even where no one is watching.
“And it also seems to be a wall I have to overcome.”
Alano also had his own answer to find.
The answer always blooms in trials.
Alano jumped into the ordeal without hesitation.
