What kind of bizarre remark is this to come out during an earthquake?
However, Sang-woo, his alter ego, had a reason for saying that.
because.
‘…I didn’t know there would be an earthquake.’
Yes.
In fact, the cause of the shaking of the floor of this extreme zone was provided by Sang-woo.
‘I was just trying to pierce the floor.’
An idea that came to my mind while catching a frost giant.
At the thought that there must be something underground, Sang-woo moved right away.
The idea of drilling the floor was put into practice.
And according to his command, the clones unleashed various attacks on the ground.
Starting with the basic form of changing the form of a wind spirit into a hammer form and destroying the floor, various attack magic such as Nuclear Laser Dig Magic Body Nuclear Reaction Mana Explosion was poured out.
And the white rice among them is, of course, the body’s nuclear reaction and mana explosion.
‘That was too big.’
The body nuclear reaction was a technique to derive the body’s nuclear energy.
Mana Explosion is a technique that uses the mana repulsion within the body to create explosive power.
The combination of the two created a synergistic effect, and when it exploded, an enormous explosion occurred, like a nuclear bomb.
No, it was even bigger than that.
‘Did the mana in my body increase too much?’
In fact, Mana Explosion has been a kind of special move that Sang-woo has been using since he was a low-level hunter.
It was because the power of the explosion using the mana repulsive force within the body was truly enormous.
It was to the point where I blew away a C-rank Abomination when I was in F-rank.
So when I think of Sangwoo, I used it so often that ‘self-destruction’ comes to mind.
But at some point, I didn’t use it well.
It was probably from when he grew to the point where he could easily catch monsters without using Mana Explosion.
If you use Mana Explosion, the clone disappears, but the opportunity cost and loss of not being able to use the clone during the cooldown was too great.
Instead, I preferred to finish off the monsters without using the Mana Explosion skill as much as possible.
Then, when drilling underground this time, it’s been a while since I’ve used it.
And he experienced the changed power of Mana Explosion.
‘You’ve grown so strong. me.’
According to the map produced by the Alava Raiders, the land of extremes was wider than most large cities.
However, Sang-woo’s alter ego’s technique has now reached the point where it affects the whole place.
There was something new about that fact, but on the other hand, it was bewildering.
I felt like I was causing trouble to the raiding party of Alaba, who was quietly hunting well.
That was what calmed them down.
And the Alaba Raid Team, who had no way to know that fact.
They were just frustrated with Sang-woo standing outside without entering the big ball, the Air Bumper Ball, in a mess that was shaking everywhere.
“Come in! Dangerous!”
Samath shouted once again.
she was frustrated
That alter ego standing over there was no different from their only lifeline.
It was the only doorway to the outside, so disappearing of the alter ego meant that they would be stuck here.
So it was impossible to lose one’s alter ego here.
To be honest, that alter ego was more important to me in the current situation than my raiding party members.
‘Oh, what are you really doing? where is it broken It’ll be a big deal if you don’t come in.’
And her concerns became reality.
Ku-gu-gu-gu-!
The ground where the air bumper ball was located began to split.
“uh?”
Sang-woo was also taken aback by the sight.
This place was located quite far from where the frost giants were, and I never imagined that this place would collapse.
I didn’t expect one, but the reaction was quick.
[Sub-space]
A sub-space was created in the gap in the ground that was splitting right away.
Then, the huge air bumper ball containing the members of the Alava Raiders descended due to gravity and was sucked into the subspace.
Swoouuuuuuuuuuuu – Sang-
woo safely delivered the Alava Raid to the entrance of Odin’s Tower.
After finishing the escape service, he was relieved and immediately looked at the source of the explosion, the cause of the anomaly.
‘That’s it.’
The ground that was blown away by consuming one clone.
The bottomless hole was so dark and deep that it looked like the mouth of an unknown being.
And the unknown energy felt through it.
A strange noise was echoing from there, as if something had settled there.
Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-!
With that noise, the ground made of snow and ice began to shake and crack.
‘There’s something.’
Sang-woo was nervous and moved his clones.
‘Check and come.’
At his command, one clone sprang out like a bullet and plunged into a bottomless hole.
Hui Yii Ik –
The alter ego that falls like a shot.
It fell so far that light could not reach it, and finally reached the bottom.
fault.
The clone landed stably.
‘I don’t have anything?’
There was nothing there, even though I could clearly feel the energy of something.
There is only a flat floor.
one.
Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-!
The floor on which the clone was standing shook violently.
It was so violent that it was difficult to balance even the alter ego with powerful stats.
‘this.’
Sang-woo gave the order to put the sword on the ground so that the alter ego would not fall.
One
kang-!
The floor, which he thought was ice, was so hard that the sword couldn’t even penetrate it.
‘what?’
Strength of 800 No, even if you stab it with a strength of over 650, there is no blow.
Sang-woo’s embarrassment was also momentary.
The vibration soon stopped.
Sang-woo couldn’t help but be embarrassed.
‘…I’m sure this floor has moved?’
He felt that the whole of this huge, hard ground had moved.
‘Is there something down here?’
Sangwoo tapped the floor with his foot and put his ear to it to hear the sound.
I heard something like a noise, but I couldn’t tell what it was
.
‘then.’
Sangwoo moved his alter ego and put his hand on the floor.
After that, he radiated mana through his hands.
Woo woo woo woo –
The mana being released.
The mana that spread endlessly disappeared without even a trace.
Like raindrops falling into the open sea.
‘…what. why.’
After that, the alter ego continued to knock on the ground, using various techniques and attacking for a long time.
But there was no response.
It was the first time I had gained strength and felt so helpless.
‘This must be a clue to the second floor.’
Compared to the ground where no clue was found, just discovering this unknown ground was a great achievement.
But if you can’t go up to the 2nd floor, you’ll be there with the Alava Raiders who roam the land of extremes.
‘And maybe not as good as Lucas.’
That’s why Sang-woo has come.
George Lucas, the only jumper who conquered the Tower of Odin by himself.
Sang-woo wanted to conquer Odin’s tower like him.
‘…Really, how did you pass? that’s interesting.’
Sangwoo decided to think about it from George Lucas’ point of view.
‘Jumper’s ability is teleportation. Maybe he wandered around a lot on the first floor of Odin’s Tower? You may have found the basement here. And given his strength, there’s a good chance he couldn’t penetrate this ground. Because I couldn’t break through either. Then what would you do? Did they move along the edge of the ground, making a way underground?’
Sang-woo, who kept thinking like that, biting his tail and making inferences.
Based on the reasoning he had in mind, he decided to move along the impenetrable ground.
‘Follow me.’
And the alter ego, which served as a scout and descended deep underground, opened the subspace and called in the alter egos that were on the ground in the extreme earth.
‘Scout. Scattered and searched everywhere.’
Sang-woo entrusted the search to the entire ground like that.
He kept shaking his head.
‘Lucas must have found something while searching for it with his raiding party.’
In case there might be some kind of magical device, I looked around the ground in detail, boosting the eyes of the clones.
How much time had passed like that?
Looking at multiple fields of view at the same time with the Overmind skill, my head hurt beyond the pain in my eyes.
‘…I’m going to die.’
In addition to the underground ground created by Mana Explosion, Sang-woo digging up even the ice-covered parts he was diligently looking for.
He was about to take a break after entrusting the excavation and search work to his alter ego, but suddenly felt skeptical.
‘…What if I misunderstood?’
In fact, even if it went wrong, it wasn’t a big loss to Sang-woo.
Because there was nothing to lose anyway.
However, it is like using high-quality human resources called alter ego only for snow ice work.
It’s also a place where people rarely come and go.
In addition, thick snow was piled up on the hard ground that Sang-woo could not penetrate.
Even if you only open the road to the basement, it is like saying that it will become a joke after time.
‘I think I’m doing something wrong.’
Sang-woo’s intuition sounded a warning.
A feeling of foreboding that this was not the case ran through his body.
‘Isn’t this… Hmm.’
Sang-woo started thinking again.
What could have gone wrong.
‘What I just discovered is a hard floor that is neither snow nor ice underground. And there’s an earthquake happening on this floor. There must be something down here… Ah!’
It was clear that there was something under this floor.
That means you have to go down here.
‘Could it be… Lucas teleported down here?’
unbelievable idea.
If you teleport into an object in the same phase, the structure of the materials overlaps and dies, or the previously located object is pushed away by the repulsive force.
An attack using this principle is a telephrac attack that Lucas often uses.
In other words, teleportation to the ground was all or nothing.
either die or move.
‘…but I don’t care.’
Sangwoo smiled.
This situation was rather good for Sang-woo.
This is because there are clones that are scouting hard in front of him.
Sang-woo called one of them.
‘No. 20. Enter Blink.’
Sangwoo ordered #20 to use the Blink skill.
Originally, there are many people who think that the Blink skill can only move to the visible location.
However, it is often used because the coordinate calculation is intuitive for the visible place, but it was possible to move the invisible place to some extent by specifying the location in the image.
That’s why I made him use the Blink skill.
And No. 20, which received Sang-woo’s order, disappeared in an instant.
Pod!
What happened to the missing No. 20?
‘…omg? Did it really happen?’
Sang-woo opened his mouth in disbelief.
Because his guess was right.
Number 20 teleported below the solid ground.
No. 20 survived instead of dying due to overlapping material structures.
The reason is that the inside of the ground was not solid as expected.
‘Is it underwater?’
Sang-woo thought, feeling the sense of No. 20 as if he had fallen into water.
There is no light, probably because it is inside the ground, so it is impossible to see an inch ahead.
I couldn’t even breathe.
In addition, the alter ego also accidentally took a sip of water as if it had not predicted this situation.
[Magic power increased by 0.001.]
[Magic power increased by
0.001.] [Magic power increased by 0.001.]
[Magic power increased by 0.001.]
And is that the cause or is it because of another alter ego that was circling the dungeon outside Odin’s Tower? Sang-woo’s abilities rose dramatically.
But Sang-woo couldn’t pay attention to that.
Because of the tremendous water pressure, it seemed that No. 20’s body would explode at any moment.
Kuwoo Woo Woo-U-
And 20, No. 20 was floating somewhere at a tremendous speed.
‘Heuk…’
Sang-woo hurriedly used his response skill.
[Liquidization]
[Aqua Ruler]
It was a skill that turned the body into liquid and a skill that controlled the water obtained from the mermaid queen.
Thanks to this, it is possible to breathe underwater.
‘Where are you going?’
However, due to the strong water pressure, No. 20 could not be controlled.
It was just drifting fast.
[Light]
As I lifted up the sphere of light, I could see the front faintly.
The water was all black.
‘Is it like oil?’
The taste of the water he accidentally drank as soon as he teleported earlier was stinky, so Sang-woo guessed that it wasn’t real water.
But that’s it.
There was little Sang-woo could do with No. 20 now drifting away.
‘Should I put more alter egos into the subspace? Or send Gluttony to absorb the water?’
A brief moment in which various thoughts come and go.
It was only a few seconds later.
grasp!
No. 20, which was trapped under pressure, was shot somewhere like a shot with a sense of liberation and floating.
‘Hut!’
Sang-woo piloted No. 20 and used the skill.
[Fly]
[Telekinesis]
[Gravity]
Sang-woo controlled his flying body with various skills.
Thanks to this, I was able to manage to keep my body floating in the air before I got stuck somewhere.
Then, it was clear where this place came out after being stuck in the water.
“…cave?”
It was a pure white cave with holes intertwined like a beehive.
Would it be very complicated?
And from a hole in the ceiling that seemed to be the place where No. 20 protruded, a black stream of water was spraying out like a sprinkler and evaporating.
‘Is this the second floor?’
Sangwoo tapped the floor with his foot.
chin chin.
It felt very solid.
‘metal?’
The material was different from rock, but it was a subtly different material with no luster to call it metal.
‘What kind of material is it?’
No. 20 No, Sang-woo opened the subspace and summoned the Volcanic Laser Replica.
A red sword protruded through the subspace and began to light up the dark space.
‘I’ll have to cut it a bit.’
Sang-woo focused his energy on the Volcanic Laser.
Then a blazing sword.
Then it was time to swing the sword towards the protruding part like a stalactite.
Whii Yii Yii-!
The feeling of something rushing.
‘come!’
Sang-woo suddenly changed his target and swung his sword at something.
kang!
