14. Level 1 Secret Room (9)
Taesan returns to the entrance and takes a step.
Wedge!
an arrow flies Taesan who caught it easily draws a conclusion.
Arrows are continuously refilled.
good.
Taesan took one step without hesitation. Two arrows flew again. Grab it and put it in your inventory.
and take a step back Catch the arrows flying the same way and put them in your inventory.
and one step forward. Two arrows fly and catch them.
Put it back in your inventory.
The number of arrows he has is seven. That’s a very small number. But buying arrows was too expensive. If you buy 50 of them for 10 gold each 500 gold is gone.
So get some here.
“A hundred should suffice.”
Taesan muttered as he caught the flying arrow.
As I continued to do so I saw a few rare arrows.
[Poison Arrow]
[Attack Power + 2]
[Attempt to poison the target. It may fail depending on the level and stats.]
[Paralysis Arrow]
[Attack Power + 2]
[Paralyzes the target. It may fail depending on the level and stats.]
“Everything is flying.”
Just put it in your inventory. They were arrows that could not be obtained without both. After about thirty minutes I was able to pack about a hundred.
Taesan organized the inventory. Eighty half arrows. Ten poison arrows. Ten flying arrows.
The same item can overlap up to 20 and the inventory has a total of 20 spaces. Six spaces were used. It was a satisfactory achievement. This was enough to use until the next floor.
“It’s great.”
It was kind of an expedient.
In order to prevent the labyrinth from taking the arrow of the trap the arrow was set to break the moment it collides with something. It was a reasonable method because there was no way a user on the first floor would be able to catch an arrow and there was no point in wasting time coming to a place like this once you went beyond the first floor.
However Taesan’s Agility is 25. Even in Alone mode it is a stat that cannot be achieved on the 1st floor. It’s already close to 1/4 of what it was before. Catching an arrow or two was no task. Thanks to that I was able to take good care of it.
‘then.’
Taesan takes a small breath. Now it was time to break through the arrow trap.
If you were only thinking of breaking through it was very simple. Taishan has a tower shield so she just had to charge with it.
However the goal is not simply to earn rewards. In the process more must be extracted.
fault.
Taesan kicks his feet. I have no intention of going one step at a time. Step on the floor halfway up in an instant.
Pip Pip Pik!
A gong sound is heard. Five arrows fly.
Avoid the arrow aiming at the head by flipping it. Kick the one who is aiming for the leg. Grasp the arrows one at a time with both hands.
The remaining arrows aimed at Taesan’s stomach. Taesan struck with the hand holding the arrow. The arrow hit the wall with a ting.
jump up again The floor is pressed and nine arrows fly at the same time. Hearing the sharp banging sound Taesan inhaled.
[You have activated an apnea attack. You gain freedom of breathing for the next 10 seconds.]
Breathing is not hindered when moving. movement is maximized.
[The mastery of securing sight has risen by 2%.]
Check everything in sight. The field of view that should have been narrowed during combat seems wide.
three in the front. two on the left. three on the right. one towards the foot. It’s hard to avoid them all.
[The proficiency of detection has risen by 2%.]
[The coolness skill has risen by 1%.]
But the heart doesn’t shake.
[You have sharpened your senses in a crisis situation. Acquired special always-on skill [Sense Enhancement].]
The senses are sharpened. Even if you don’t see it you can feel where the arrow is flying from.
The arrows did not fly all at once. There is some delay. First of all avoid the closest one. tilt your head Arrows pass through your hair.
eight now.
Move your legs to hit the arrow. Grasp the arrows one at a time with both hands.
now five. one on the left. front three. right one.
All arrows aimed at the chest. It is impossible to completely block them as they fly in different directions.
So ignore what to ignore. The arrow on the right is the fastest.
[You have activated Charm. The next attack is released.]
An arrow flying from the right twists right in front of Taishan’s waist.
“Kuk!”
The arrow on the right grazed the skin but did not pierce it.
[8 damage to you.]
This is the number of people who have received damage but can withstand it. In addition ignoring the arrow on the right gave me room to move.
Grab the arrow in front of you and hit it. As much as the lines overlap organize them all at once. Immediately the arrow on the left also shoots down. The arrow hits the ground and breaks.
Tarak.
and last. Taesan steps on the floor.
piping
Tae-san’s eyes tremble. Fifteen arrows flew.
‘crazy.’
Arrows flew according to the number of bricks on the floor. So I expected 10 rounds at the end but suddenly 5 rounds were added. Taesan clicks his tongue and moves his arms quickly.
[You have activated a no-hop attack. Freedom to breathe for the next 10 seconds.]
Fortunately as the number of arrows was large most of them overlapped.
He catches an arrow flying from the left with his left arm and throws it. Colliding with the thrown arrow two arrows fly in strange directions.
Tilt your head to the left to dodge an arrow and immediately turn to the right. Two arrows that flew after a while hit the wall in the distance.
The arrows on the right perfectly overlap each other. This means you can knock them all out in one move. Shake your right arm to drop three arrows.
Move your feet to trample the two arrows.
There are still five left. But I can’t afford to stop. The arrows were already at hand.
Then I’d rather not block it. Tae San pulled his arm. Arrows lodged in the arm.
«Uh W
Taesan groans. The feeling of the sharp arrow digging into it was very unpleasant.
16 A system window appeared with five damage windows on the edge.
[You are crippled.]
[You are in a state of bleeding and your physical strength continues to decrease.]
shit.
blood flows down the arm It seems that the bone has been pierced and the pain is riding through the brain.
“It hurts terribly.”
If you haven’t done it a few times in the past you’re probably rolling on the floor by now.
[You suffered terribly. Acquired special always-on skill [Pain Reduction].]
The pain was reduced a little by gaining the skill but there was no big difference. There are skills that are useful only when the proficiency level rises and there are skills that are not but pain reduction was the former.
It wasn’t bad though. Breaking the knuckles of arrows in a cold sweat.
[Health: 54/140]
There is sufficient stamina. Because I had already figured out that it wasn’t fatal damage I was able to get hit without any burden.
Everything can be recovered once you reach the Fountain of Life so you just need to move slowly. in crippled and bleeding conditions
There was also something to be gained.
‘I was going to get hit on purpose if I avoided all of them but that’s no longer the case.’
Taesan pulls the lever next to the box. The sound of breaking inside the walls echoes.
Arrows won’t fire anymore. And it was a time of reward.
Taesan opens the box with a throbbing heart. Inside was a red cane.
Taesan forgot even the pain and was surprised.
“Is the wand already out?”
Heal bring water create fire blind or charm.
A wand capable of using magic possessed the power of perception. It was a valuable item that made it very easy to capture the labyrinth even if you only had one.
And in Easy Mode it was an item that barely showed itself after crossing the 20th floor. Even in hard mode at least 10 floors had to be passed. No matter how much Alone Mode to come out from the 1st floor. It was difficult to understand easily.
“Could it be a blunt weapon in the shape of a staff?”
Taesan was dubious and checked the staff.
[Stand of Flame]
[This is a staff used by novice wizards. Basic magic [Fireball] can be used.]
“… … It’s real.”
It is also a staff of flame that is much more valuable than other magic in the beginning.
‘Is this the average of Alone Mode?’
Lee Tae-yeon could barely break through the secret room so there was no comparison. If this is average the future is much easier.
However it was not without compensation. He was able to block the last 15 arrows because he had gained a lot and an ordinary human would have died.
There must have been someone who discovered this place in a previous life but it must have been unknown because he died without being able to break through.
Taesan grabbed his staff and turned around. Now it was time for her to return to Sam.
“Kik! Squeak!”
On the way back Big Rat appeared and attacked him. He is unable to use one arm but as long as stats are stats there is no problem.
However Taishan did not kill him right away and continued the fight. By the time Big Rat was about to faint from exhaustion a system window appeared.
[You’ve been crippled for a long time but there’s no problem with your behavior. Acquired the special activation skill [Unbreakable Will].]
good.
A skill obtained when fighting for a long time in a crippled state. You got the skill you wanted. Taesan stepped on Big Rat.
“Kikki!”
[You won against Big Rat.
all.]
Remove the floating windows. There was no reason to take care of each one in the yard where I couldn’t level up and increase my spirit level.
[You are at your best.]
Returning to the fountain of life Taesan recovered his strength and checked the skills he had acquired.
[Special Always Activated Skill: Pain Reduction]
[Proficiency: 1%]
[I am a little dulled by the pain. However the senses do not become dull.]
[Special always-activated skill: Sense Enhancement]
[Proficiency: 1%]
[The senses are strengthened. I think I still feel like living.]
Both were not bad skills. Right now it’s not very useful but the more you raise your proficiency the better it gets exponentially which was a great help. Raising the proficiency also comes naturally when you just fight and break through the labyrinth.
It wasn’t difficult because it was a skill.
[Special Activated Skill: Unbreakable Will]
[Mana consumption: 1]
[Proficiency: 1%]
[All kinds of wounds and injuries can’t stop your fighting spirit. During battle you can fight while ignoring injuries for 10 seconds.]
It is a skill that is inferior to Unstoppable Power ignoring all status ailments.
Temporarily ignoring injuries was a very useful skill.
And the skill in the Staff of Flame. fireball.
[Basic Magic: Fireball]
[Mana consumed: 3]
[Proficiency: 1%]
[Fires a fireball. Enemies without immunity receive more damage. Attempt to determine the status abnormality [Burn] on the target.]
It was the same skill he had seen before.
“Awesome.”
There were countless ways to use this. Taesan happily put her wand into her inventory.
“Is it going to end soon?”
It seemed like I got everything I could get on the first floor.
It was time to go down.
Taesan stood up and walked through the labyrinth. It didn’t take long before I could find the place heading to the second floor.
From the door it was red as if it were somewhere else so it was hard to make a mistake.
This is the room leading to the second floor.
And there was always a boss when moving floors.
Taesan raised his shield and opened the door. A staircase leading to the basement was visible. And the monster guarding the place was also seen.
“Kee-Ik.”
The basic appearance was similar to Big Rat. black sharp hairs. Teeth protruding hideously.
But it was bigger. A rodent the size of a person was in the room. Red eyes slowly turned to him.
“This is the first floor boss.”
A difficult boss to deal with with quite a few players dying due to its sharp claws. In Easy Mode it was the boss of the 10th floor.
“Kikiiik!”
[The Giant Rat has appeared.]
Level up with skill
