Episode 113 A Mirror That Breaks Boundaries (3)
“How…?”
The stone giant stuttered.
I couldn’t help but be flustered.
Seokpa Slash is a slash that pulverizes the enemy in one blow.
Therefore, it was normal to lightly cut and throw away human beings who were mere insignificant things.
however.
Why the hell…!
Did that human take his blow so leisurely?
There is only one conclusion that can be drawn.
“That swordsman wasn’t the strongest human being. okay. It was you.”
Assuming that, the front and rear were correct.
It was hard to believe, but the skills of the humans from outside the tower were much higher than the stone giant expected.
“Well, I’m a bit stronger than that leech.”
Jinhyuk shrugged.
“…”
Chun Yoo-seong made a poop-chewed face, but couldn’t protest.
It was because he had nothing to say even with ten mouths, since he owed his life in such an unseemly way.
The rock giant changed the question.
“How can humans be this strong? No way… you guys. Are you from ‘Moorim’? Or was it on the ‘Imperial’ side?”
Murim or Empire…
Well, you might think so.
Among humans, only these guys can challenge the 10th floor alone.
In fact, among the things like Jeongpani, Sapani and Magyoni, there were quite strong people.
Similarly, the Empire had also built up a fairly solid force inside the Tower.
“It was quite sharp for a person with a head of stone, but no. Isn’t it a bit different from the scholars who are polite in the first place and me?”
“Your head is a stone?”
“huh? Since your whole body is made of rock, wasn’t your head also made of something like granite or basalt?”
He’s a rock giant, so of course I knew that.
whatever or not
“Who are you to say such absurd things to anyone!”
The rock giant was the flagship.
At the same time, a chessboard-shaped line began to be drawn along the ground.
A board-type skill that can only be used by some of the boss monsters.
It is [Sanctuary].
‘It’s finally the beginning of the first phase.’
Jinhyeok relaxed his arms and legs lightly.
The boss on the 10th floor is largely composed of two phases, the first of which was to fight on the floor.
‘Because the attack is different depending on the color of the floor. In fact, whether or not you can respond to Sanctuary is the key to victory.’
Be careful with the first, second and third times.
If I had to pick one piece of advice for this phase, it would definitely be this.
‘I’ll have to approach it step by step.’
The most important information had already been extracted through the ‘Eye of Gluttony’.
[Copy condition: The rock giant has ‘invincibility’, one of the absolute judgment abilities. Unless you have an absolute judgment skill of the same level, you will not be able to break through that iron wall. If you can overcome the wall and overwhelm your opponent, you will be able to copy the opponent’s unique ability.] [
However, the activation time of the invincible ability is extremely shortened.]
Due to the level gap, I couldn’t check the details of the status window. I made sure to check the copying conditions.
Easiest condition ever.
It’s such a strong enemy. You just need to knock it down without any additional conditions.
With that, I was able to bring some of the opponent’s ‘invincible’ ability.
Whoa!
The floor completely engulfed the area before I knew it.
Air completely changed.
Riding on the damp wind, an alien magical power approached.
Now everything you see here is the domain of [Sanctuary].
“die.”
The stone giant spat coldly.
A yellow light flickered in the square area where Jinhyeok was.
Exactly 0.3 seconds later.
Parts Tsutsu!
A single bolt of lightning fell from the sky.
It is a lightning strike so fast and accurate that there is no time to even react.
but.
Jinhyeok, who was supposed to be in ashes, had no wounds.
The ice-shaped crystal that appeared on his head blocked the lightning.
“You…reacted to that?”
In that short moment?
such nonsense.
In contrast to the baffled rock giant, Jinhyeok made an expression as if he was surprised at something obvious.
“There’s something I’m misunderstanding…”
Flooring skills tell you in advance where and what will eventually come.
And if you know what’s coming from anywhere, whether it’s 10 seconds or 1 second or 0.3 seconds…
“Avoiding or blocking is a piece of cake.”
It is easy to chew and eat the whole pattern. How much more does it give advance notice?
I want to get this right, but I can’t get it right.
“Shouldn’t we move on to the second phase right away without wasting our strength? I want to take a shower before coming and avoid sweating again.”
I washed my face with strawberry-scented soap.
It was on a different level from cucumber soap.
“Don’t boast about just dodging it once. Isn’t that the only type of flooring?”
“If thinking like that makes you feel comfortable, try doing more.”
Jinhyeok was dead.
Of course, he was not a rock giant who would pass on such a provocation idly.
[Additional magical energy is injected into the sanctuary ‘Sanctuary’!]
The floor fully bloomed due to the magical power of the boss monster.
The horizontal and vertical zones flashed all at once.
I wanted to see colorful lights flashing. Countless skills exploded on the ground.
Cuckoo Cuckoo!
Kwak Kwa Kwak!
Wow!
Sparks exploded and blades made of ice rained down.
like a chain reaction.
When one triggers, it becomes a fuse and triggers another trap.
Of course, there is no pattern here.
The attack, which was dotted with anomalies and variations, was only filled with the single thought of outwitting its prey.
[Lv6 ‘Golden Demon Emperor’ is manifested!]
Jinhyeok moved like a squirrel in the raging storm.
It is the virtue of a deceased person to find rules in irregularities.
My body has already moved to find a way out without anyone telling me.
The attack aiming at the blind spot and inducing an offbeat bit the tail after tail, but it doesn’t matter.
If the opponent reads two moves ahead, it moves in front of three moves.
If you read in front of three numbers, you can watch it in front of five numbers.
Took.
Kwaaang!
An area that explodes only after you dodge it.
fault!
Chii profit!
Jinhyeok’s movements were so god-like that some people said that he was almost trying to play.
Of course, there is no choice but to be ridiculous from the standpoint of the watching party.
Because this… was beyond common sense.
Finally, Jinhyeok, who came out of all the floors, reached the stone giant.
There are no wounds.
Even breathing was calm.
“Even if you do more, you will have to lose. Isn’t it about time you found out?”
The floor skill is powerful in a wide area, but it has the disadvantage that it takes a lot of mana to maintain.
It means that if you abuse it recklessly, even if it is a boss monster, you will run out of mana.
“…okay. I don’t think I’ll be able to catch those pesky flying flies with something like this.”
The burwee giant waved his hand lightly.
[The sanctuary ‘Sanctuary’ has stopped operating.]
The lines drawn on the floor lost their light.
This completes the first phase.
Unlike the beginning, the composure he had felt from the rock giant had disappeared.
I have no choice but to admit it.
The fact that the opponent is never easy.
and.
“How much more have you grown in the meantime?”
Chun Youseong, who watched all of this, bit his molars.
Clearly, a day is 24 hours.
Yes, the time given to everyone was the same.
but.
Even though we spent the same amount of time.
Even though I tried to die for the same amount of time.
What do you mean?
This gap has become so far that even the fingertips cannot reach.
***
[The second phase, ‘Melee’ begins.]
[Only one person who survives the 1:1 confrontation can escape.]
When the second phase begins, Jinhyeok takes another item from the subspace inventory. pulled out
A red liquid contained within a barrier inscribed with complex runes.
It’s ‘Medusa’s blood’.
Originally, Medusa lost her powers outside the temple.
The exception is when a part of it is sealed with a barrier.
‘There are only a handful of players who have a job called a field master, and there are no players like me who can combine 3 or more fields like me.’
No wonder this method is unknown.
Of course, even if you have the ability to petrify with absolute determination, it is not so easy to approach him.
This is because the rock giant has over 3,000 types of attack patterns, and the pattern changes every time.
‘The worst thing is that it shows a gap only once in every pattern.’
In other words, you only get one chance to break through.
Mistakes soon lead to failure.
After all, it means that you have to design every situation perfectly.
Applying Medusa’s blood on him, of course, so that he can escape alive afterwards.
“Whoa…”
Jinhyuk calmed down.
I checked the sense of rhythm that I had memorized to the sound of my heartbeat.
step one. One more step again.
If possible, move lightly and quickly so that you can dig into his arms.
The moment your breathing stays constant.
that buck
Jinhyeok entered the guy’s range.
“Hoo. Come on my street first. I have to admit that the spirit of challenge is outstanding.”
Our eyes collided with the rock giant.
My skin stings just by looking into your eyes.
It would have been difficult to endure if the [Mental Barrier] hadn’t canceled the mana.
The sense of intimidation emitted by the boss monster on the 10th floor was so heavy.
but.
“Challenge is a word used when doing something difficult. This is a level that can be enjoyed moderately thrillingly.”
There was still no tension to be found on Jinhyuk’s face.
It’s a natural story.
No matter how frustrated many players are, the boss is only an obstacle on the 10th floor.
For Jinhyeok, who has already seen the end of the tower, it is just one of the countless tasks he has to pass.
“…decided. From now on, I will do my best to rip off that snout.”
The stone giant pulled out a new sword from his back.
Three different types of jewels embedded in the sword body.
[The rock giant activates Lv18 ‘Will of Rock’!]
[Attack power and attack speed increase by 15% each for 10 minutes!]
[All skills possessed by the target increase by 1 Lv!]
Along with the status window pouring out .
A full-scale battle began.
come.
Although it has a size of up to 5m, it moves like a swallow filled with water.
The distance narrowed in an instant.
The great sword in the hand of the rock giant crossed it.
Whoops!
A terrifying wave hole pierced the eardrum.
Jinhyeok avoided the attack by a piece of paper.
but.
Kwak Kwah Kwah Kwah Kwah!
A huge shockwave followed.
Then the ground began to dry up like a tortoise’s shell.
[The red jewel ‘Curse of Heat Death’ is activated!]
Unlike the time of Cheon Yoo-seong, the sword’s attack power increased incomparably due to the jewel.
‘Even though I avoided it, is it this much?’
If you even brush one shot, that’s it.
It is truly an inexorable force.
Because the timing was just right, there was a small gap between the stone giant’s attacks. But this is a trap.
If I took this gap as an opportunity, it was certain that my entire body would be crushed by his shield in no time.
then….
