Episode 345 Balak (3)
The jungle on the 11th floor was a terrible environment, reminiscent of flood damage in the Red and Black Mountains.
Venomous scarabs, bone-eating mosquitoes, vines armed with thorns like awls, heavy fruits like maces, narrow and deep cliffs skillfully covered with rotten leaves, etc… If you were an ordinary person, you would not have to go through this forest
. Even holding out for half a day would have been impossible.
Besides, it is now a night of terribly thick darkness.
It was an ambitious time when even the shipowners who originally resided in this forest did not wander around recklessly.
however.
Pasasak-
Bikir moved freely as if this forest were his living room.
They carried Cerberus’ hair against the wind to block the approach of other beasts, found a cliff hidden in fallen leaves and crossed it, and cut the air sac of a moderately grown daylily to exhale gas to drive away poisonous insects.
The cobwebs spewed by the young madam from her left hand connected the cliffs she had to climb over for hours with ease.
All these things were done with skill and familiarity, as if they had been repeating this kind of life for decades.
Of course, for Tudor Sancho Piggy Bianca, who was following in Bikir’s footsteps, he had no choice but to stick out his tongue.
“This surprises me more than when I found out that Bikir is a night hound. How does he move so well?”
“I don’t think Basilios, who was the mercenary king of the north, can’t do this either…”
“Bikir is a night hound? No, what are you talking about again?”
“When I saw you earlier, you were wearing a night hound mask. I’ll ask you what happened later.”
Meanwhile, Bikir was recalling memories.
‘It reminds me of the past.’
Two memories come to mind.
The era of destruction before the return.
It was a harsh time when you had to be good at everything from simple swordsmanship to herbal gathering, reconnaissance, stealth, ambush, assassination, medicine, treatment, and cooking to survive.
And another memory is the two years spent in the sea of red and black mountains.
…spot!
Bikir cut a rotten log in half and passed through it.
The gradientr’s aura, which vibrates and rotates at super-high speed at the tip of the sword, cuts everything in an instant.
And Tudor Sancho Piggy Bianca, who saw that power, was shocked once again.
“Bikir. What level are you?”
“Oh my God! How much did you raise your stats?”
“Could it be that you’ve been strong since you were outside the tower?”
“……Because he’s a really secretive guy.”
at that time.
…stop!
Bikir, who was walking ahead, stopped.
After examining footprints in the mud on the floor, Bikir checked the direction of the wind, then lowered himself and circled behind the bushes.
It is to hide the body odor.
A faint streak of light is visible beyond the thick darkness.
I could see dozens of people gathered around a small bonfire.
Puduk-
Tudor sharpened his teeth.
“They are them. Shipowners. The ones who stole our food.”
The challengers of the tower who came to this floor before Tudor Sancho Piggy Bianca.
They were all middle-aged warriors with strong physiques.
Their faces were smeared with mud, and their bodies were covered with animal skins and leaves.
The body covered with copper-colored muscles was tattooed with intricate patterns, but strangely, the concentration of the tattoo was quite pale and blurry.
Beside him, Tudor whispered in a low voice.
“They lay something like dry straw near the campfire. If you step on it, it makes a loud noise and breaks.”
“I know. Let’s get rid of the dead and approach them.”
Bikir cautiously approached, avoiding the dead people who had fallen to the floor.
By crawling slowly, moving only a few meters an hour, Bikir was able to get close to the food thieves.
…quickly!
Bikir, who had trampled all the bushes and bushes, appeared right in front of the bonfire.
“Give me the food.”
The assailants are startled by the appearance of Bikir, who has approached this far without a sound or sign, grabbing a bow and arrow next to them.
Ping-
The arrow flew right in.
Each of the attackers was shooting arrows with familiar body movements, as if they were masters of bows.
And Bikir, who saw the flying arrow, was convinced.
‘These are Balak’s warriors.’
Before entering the tower, they had already heard the story of their mysterious disappearance through Sindi Wendy’s report.
I was worried about where they would be, but I never thought they would be trapped in the Maw of Amdusias.
‘Still, I’m glad they’re still alive.’
Bikir thought the problem would be surprisingly easy to solve.
Eventually, Bikir removed the mask covering his face, revealing a tattoo on his shoulder.
It was a tattoo that meant Balak’s hunting grounds.
“Stop it. It’s me.”
Balak No, the warriors of the native tribes in the Red and Black Mountains could not have known Bikir.
Wasn’t Bikir a hero who saved all the tribes from not only the terrifying plague of the Red Death, but also from a massive deluge?
……but.
Things were taking an unexpected turn.
“…What is that guy?”
“Why does he have a tattoo of a hunting ground?”
“Who knows him?”
“I don’t know. Beat him down!”
Balak’s warriors did not seem to know Vikir at all.
They were quite old enough, and judging from the tattoos on their shoulders, the black ash powder that painted their faces, and the language they spoke, they were definitely Balak’s warriors.
But for some reason, they couldn’t remember Bikir at all.
Puff!
Bikire had to take a few steps back to avoid the arrows that were fired in earnest.
‘Warriors of this age don’t know me?’
Bikir drew his sword with some doubts.
“Don’t you know?”
The Baskerville style of swordsmanship unfolded.
It was something that Balak’s warriors, who had spent their entire lives fighting against the Baskervilles, would not know.
however.
“This guy uses strange swordsmanship!”
“Huh!? A tooth-shaped slash?”
“I’ve never seen anything like that!”
“Don’t fight! Fight at a distance!”
Balak’s warriors still did not recognize Vikir.
It’s just strangely flustered.
‘I don’t think there’s anything wrong with my memory. Is something strange?’
Bikir frowned.
Clearly, the warriors of Balak were right in front of me.
But for some reason, they were acting as if they didn’t remember any memories with Bikir.
This is despite the fact that there was no sign of having been subjected to mental magic.
Bikir said as if there was nothing special.
“If you’ve forgotten, I’ll tell you again. How I, a foreigner slave, became your hunting ground.”
At the same time, Bikir took out an item and held it.
It was the only hidden piece that Vikir, who had received all the rewards in candy, saying that he didn’t need any items, was the only one he wanted.
–< Balance of Forcible Equality > / Scale / S
The values of other stats change depending on the value of the highest stat among one’s own stats.
The values of all stats increase gradually and slowly according to the value of the highest stat, and this change continues until all stat values are the same.
Vikir opened the status window with the golden scale in her hand.
< Bikir >
-LV: 1 (%)
-Titles: ‘Worm Rat Hunter’ ‘Hell’s Vendor’ ‘Daylily Lumberjack’ ‘Demon Executioner’ ‘King Assassin of the Black Sea’ ‘Dragon Man’s Enemy’ (NEW)
-Stats
↳Strength: 798
↳Agility: 92
↳Stamina: 100
↳Physical Resistance: 1
↳Magic Resistance: 1
↳Reflexes: 1
Strength, Dexterity and Stamina, the three basic stats originally possessed by Vikir, were originally 300 each, totaling 900 was set to
However, the sum of Vikir’s three major stats
was 990 in total.
This is because Bikir exchanged the stats he had acquired so far in the previous floor, ‘Paradise Lost’, for candy, then absorbed them and redistributed them.
< There is the largest candy store in the tower here >
< Challengers can exchange items they have here for candy >
< Candies that have already been eaten and become stats can also be vomited out to turn them into candy, especially for residents of this floor. There is! >
< If you vomit up the candy you ingested before entering this floor, you will receive 1 additional candy for every 10 candies! >
Vikir didn’t plan to use the shop, but changed his stats to candy for now, giving him 1 candy per 10. I was given 20 extra candies.
And he ate it again.
‘……It’s like taking the bait out of the trap the devils laid.’
If Amdusias and the fairies under him noticed this fact, they would probably jump up and gnash their teeth.
Bikir received the most red candy, the most common candy, according to the probability.
Green candy that increases dexterity Blue candy that increases stamina rarely came out, but for Vikir, this actually made things better.
It was because Bikir possessed the ‘weighing weight of forced equality’ mentioned earlier.
The balance weight of forcible equality is an item that gradually raises all stat values according to the highest stat value, and is a fixed-term item that disappears when all stat values become the same.
‘It was an item I obtained to increase the stats of the 3 special stats by 1, not the 3 basic stats…’ Since the
speed at which stats rise by this scale weight is extremely slow, it is unlikely that a challenger will benefit from this item in the near future. Not much.
This is because in order to use this item 120%, it is necessary to spend a very long time inside the tower, so that all youth will pass away.
It’s only after I become an old man that I have to become strong, so what’s the point?
……but.
“I’m glad Time flows like a river in this forest.”
Bikir was getting older by the minute.
His hair grew at a rapid rate, his bones and muscles thickened.
His voice grew thicker and the lines on his face darkened
. The stats that Kir had also started to change.
-Tee-Ring!
[The item ‘Weighing Weight of Forcible Equality’ begins to forcibly balance the stats!]
[The ‘Strength’ stat and other stats are out of balance! ]
[The values of other stats are forcibly adjusted to match the ‘798’ value of the ‘Strength’ stat!] [The
‘Agility’ stat increases from ’92’ to ’93’!] [
This change It continues until the value of the ‘Agility’ stat reaches ‘798’!]
[The ‘HP’ stat increases by ‘1’ from ‘100’ and becomes ‘101’!] [
This change is the value of the ‘HP’ stat is ‘798’!]
[The ‘Physical Resistance’ stat increases from ‘1’ to ‘1’ and becomes ‘2’!] [
This change causes the ‘Physical Resistance’ stat value to ‘798’ ]
[The ‘Magic Resistance’ stat increases from ‘1’ to ‘1’ and becomes ‘2’!] [
This change continues until the ‘Magic Resistance’ stat reaches ‘798’ It lasts!]
[The ‘Reflexes’ stat increases from ‘1’ to ‘1’ and becomes ‘2’!] [
This change lasts until the ‘Reflexes’ stat reaches ‘798’!]
[‘Agility’ stat increases from ’93’ to ’94’…]
[‘Stamina’ stat increases from ‘101’ to ‘102’… ..]
[‘Physical Resistance’ stat increased from ‘2’ to ‘1’ to ‘3’…]
[‘Magic Resistance’ stat increased from ‘2’ to ‘1’… .]
[‘Reflexes’ stat increased from ‘2’ to ‘1’…]
..
The
highest stat, strength,
is 798. It was increasing by 1 according to the
number
.
That was entirely on the side of Bikir.
