◈ 430. [Free Exploration] Attacking the Magic Tower (2)
What came out of the box was a magic gun that looked similar to Earth’s assault rifle.
[Venom Fang (SSR)]
Venom Fang.
If translated, would it be poisonous? It literally means poison teeth.
Basically, it is a rare horse gun that enchants bullets with poison properties, but what is more unusual is the amount of bullets.
It’s like a 60-round horse gun.
Considering that most of the horse guns that Damian has used had about 10 rounds of ammunition, it can be said that the amount of ammunition is insane.
‘Of course, the damage is low.’
60 rounds for poison enchantment. You’ll know by this point, but yes. It is not a weapon whose main purpose is to deal.
It is a horse gun whose purpose is to inflict poison status on enemies by pouring out overwhelming bullets with rapid fire power.
The horse gun itself is a unique weapon group, but this guy can be said to be uniquely eccentric.
Anyway, it’s basically a magic gun. Although the damage is low, the killing power is sufficient.
Considering that most of Damien’s horse guns are for long-range sniping or short-range stopping, this horse gun with excellent mid-range suppression power will be a very good option.
“Wow… .”
Accepting the horse gun, Damian opened his mouth wide.
“I thought it would be nice to have a horse gun like this… thank you prince! I will write well!”
“Hehe. yes yes Write well.”
… Actually, I handed over the equipment as if I knew everything, but I was the most surprised.
‘No, the SSR finished product floats right from the beginning… … ?’
The magic tower here is a very benign dungeon with 11 guaranteed reward boxes.
Even so, what item will come out of the box is random.
Compared to other dungeons, the rewards are very good, but from the beginning, I didn’t know that they would throw a horse gun at the completion of the SSR grade.
After handing the horse gun to Damian, looking at the other heroes, everyone’s eyes are burning with greed… … oh my gosh
Evangeline jumped up and shouted.
“Seniors! Are you distributing the items to the person who contributed the most to breaking the ordeal?!”
“huh?! Oh no, it’s not necessarily like that, once you see the equipment that came out, go to the person who needs it first… … .”
“Are you still seeing contributions?!”
“That’s right. Maybe I’ll see a little bit… … .”
“Jooh!”
Evangeline rolled up her arms and shouted.
“The new armor is mine!”
Oops, you still have lingering attachments to armor… … .
The other heroes also seemed to be overflowing with greed for new equipment.
Everyone yelled with enthusiasm and ran through the first dungeon room… … No, you have to go with me anyway.
After exiting the first dungeon room and returning to the lobby, the color of the magic light above the first aisle had changed from red to green.
It seems that the color changes when cleared.
“Okay, like this… Let’s break them all one by one!”
“Waaaa-!”
Everyone’s motivation rose noticeably, probably thanks to witnessing Damian take good equipment as a reward.
I knew what all trials (puzzles) were like, so I organized new members each time and went into the dungeon room.
Finding the second trial maze.
It is a puzzle to escape the complicated labyrinth, and the subtle flow of magical power is provided as a hint. However, the problem is that traps are also mixed in this magical flow.
The key is to find the real flow of magical power heading to the exit.
Naturally, wizards were mobilized for this ordeal. Junior and the young wizards put their heads together and grunted as they moved through the maze.
Junior seemed to have figured out most of the correct answers right away, but he let them wander a little, perhaps for the sake of the junior wizards’ development.
“I’m sorry, Your Highness. Clearing it right away would be a way, but… … .”
“You don’t have to apologize at all. I have to grow my juniors too.”
It took some time, but it cleared safely.
third trial. string a beam of light.
It was a puzzle in which the light emitted from the entrance manipulated the mirrors installed in the room to reach the finish line.
All the personnel involved were using their heads to adjust the direction of the beam of light, but suddenly there was a rumbling sound, and the ordeal was cleared.
what is this… … When I looked, I saw Lucas holding up his weapon [the gifted sword] in front of the finish line.
“… I wondered if it would be okay to shoot the light at the finish line, so I raised the light with my sword… … .”
“All right? that is?!”
It was absurd, but it was a clear judgment as long as he passed the ordeal ‘in any way’.
From here, the strategy started to get a little weird.
Most of the puzzles were the kind of thing where you had to navigate through the subtle movement of magical powers with your magician’s senses or keen intuition.
“Uryaaaaa!”
… My heroes started to break through by force.
fourth ordeal. A puzzle in which you manipulate a complex magic device to make a giant clock point to a specific time.
Evangeline ignored the device and forcibly turned the hour hand, minute hand, and second hand to set the time.
Kugu Palace!
clear.
I was frightened and opened my mouth.
“No, shouldn’t it be cleared like this?!”
“Mmm ha ha ha! This ordeal is quite flexible!”
In the end, even the other martial arts heroes rushed in and started solving puzzles on their own.
No matter how you look at it, the intention of the creator is much more delicate and complex… … It wasn’t that I couldn’t solve it because I tried to solve it simply ignorantly.
Fifth Trial A puzzle in which you must freeze the falling stone wall with a freezing magic device at the right timing and then advance.
“Dragon Punch!”
“Bandit king kick-!”
Dusk Bringer and Quylan shattered the falling stone wall with their fists and feet… … .
Stone fragments scattered in all directions hit my head and fell. what is this
Seeing that, Evangeline happily nodded.
“When the body is bad, the head suffers! After all, if you have absolute power, you don’t need to use your head!”
“Why… Why does the Magic Tower succumb to physical force… … ?”
sixth trial. The ordeal of avoiding various traps on the floor with floating magic.
After Belldandi threw the flashing dagger and teleported away, it was cleared as it was… … .
The long-awaited gimmicks were collapsing in front of our heroes with full strength and agility.
I was worried that the defense system on the Mage Tower side would not work if I woke up strangely, but the Mage Tower did not intervene as long as the clear conditions were met. What is this freedom?
Like that, all the heroes rushed to break through the trials, and all 10 trials were completed.
[Area 8: Magic Tower]
– Clear progress: Normal room 10/10 Boss room 0/1
– Acquisition treasure chest: 10/11
I broke all except the boss room.
It’s nice that it goes smoothly, but I wonder if this can be done… … Umm… … .
Anyway, so I finished rooting as many as 10 treasure chests, and several high-grade items came out.
Lucas got a new helmet and Junior got a package of magic scrolls.
Quylan took a hood tied around his forehead, new boots from Belldandy, and a dark red dress from Dusk Bringer.
In fact, even though Dusk Bringer is a dragon that doesn’t need any equipment, he took the dress full of magic options as soon as it came out. The reason is that… .
“Because I like wine!”
… You’ve worked hard for so long, so I’m just willing to give it to you.
Holding the dress in her arms, Dusk Bringer grinned, showing sharp teeth.
I wonder if it wouldn’t fit the Archduke’s short stature… … Should I attach a repairman?
Anyway, while everyone is taking their equipment one by one.
“why!”
… Only the armor that Evangeline had been waiting for was not coming out.
“why! my armor! Where have you gone!”
Everyone packed each item, but only Evangeline was empty-handed. Because none of the equipment she could use came out.
I smiled bitterly and said to Evangeline, who was screaming while holding her head.
“It will come out of the boss room box.”
“… yes?”
“Your armor. It will come from the last box.”
okay.
I haven’t told you so far… … This equipment, which is guaranteed to be routed from the Mage Tower boss room box, is armor for Evangeline.
Wide-eyed Evangeline looked around ferociously.
“Boss room! How do I get to the boss room?!”
Currently, all ten magic lights in the passageway connected to the lobby have turned green.
The road to the boss room was nowhere to be seen. So it was a car that everyone wondered about.
You have to go to the boss room and clear the boss to clear the dungeon as well.
However, the magic tower here is a little different.
“Come over there.”
When I raised my head and looked up, everyone followed me and looked up.
There is a round magic elevator… … It was slowly descending while floating in the air.
Clap!
Chiyiyi… … .
A magical light flashed from the elevator that slowly landed on the floor.
I first raised my legs on the elevator, turned around and gestured.
“There will be no battle, so follow only those who will follow you, and rest!”
The heroes had a brief meeting and decided that only the party leaders would follow me and the rest would stay in the lobby.
After confirming that all the people following me were on the elevator, I pressed the elevator switch.
Then the magic elevator began to rise into the air again.
“If you had battled against the defense system without clearing the previous trials… A battle also occurs in the boss room.”
While climbing towards the boss room, I explained briefly.
“But we… It’s a bit strange, but I cleared the ordeal anyway. That’s why the battle doesn’t happen in the boss room.”
Instead, a special event occurs and the boss monster is converted into an NPC that can be interacted with. What I was aiming for was this special reward… … They are interactable NPCs.
As such, the Magic Tower is a unique dungeon in many ways.
“… The Holy Grail.”
Belldandy asked cautiously.
“Are you up there?”
I nodded quietly.
Belldandy swallowed dry saliva and clenched his fists tightly.
Kugu Palace… … !
The elevator stopped.
We climbed from the first floor of the Magic Tower to the top floor at once, and we cautiously set foot on the top floor.
The structure of the top floor was simple. There was a short aisle where the elevator came and went, and a glass door at the end of the aisle.
And as if they had sensed our arrival.
Clicking –
The glass door opened automatically.
A reverberation of magical power spread out through the open gap. All the heroes who had been flirting with a relaxed atmosphere immediately stiffened their faces.
“Then shall we go? Evangeline’s new armor, Belldandy’s Holy Grail, and… … .”
I led the way toward the open door.
“… To meet the owner of the Mage Tower.”
Even knowing there will be no battle.
Unknowingly, pure and overwhelming mana flowed out of me, enough to make my stomach tingle with tension.
that buck that buck
And as we entered, what unfolded inside the glass door was… It was an unexpected sight.
tree.
The top floor of the magic tower was covered with the trunks of all kinds of trees. The complicatedly entangled vegetation was all of a different kind.
The heroes looked around, puzzled.
“This place… greenhouse?”
“We have facilities to grow all kinds of plants.”
“Why are you growing trees in the Mage Tower… ?”
It was then.
“Come on. Those who have passed my ordeal.”
A female voice mixed with mechanical sounds rang out.
“It’s been a few hundred years. A guest came here.]
Everyone raised their weapons in surprise. Except for me who was waiting for her appearance.
Among the lush bushes… … Slowly she appeared.
《Let me introduce you. I am the guardian and last survivor of this Mage Tower.”
Surprise passed over everyone’s faces.
What appeared before our eyes… … It was not a living being.
Kirik. Kirik.
It was a machine made of magic engineering that appeared while dragging wheels.
The entire body of the massive machine made a regular sound like when a computer was running.
At the top of the machine mass, a magical image of her face was projected on a rectangular magic panel like a computer monitor.
white bone.
The face of a skeleton with flames shimmering in its eye sockets.
On the screen, she introduced herself calmly.
《After pursuing the end of magic, he became like this… … A wizard from the Lake Kingdom.”
A Cyber-Lich who has turned himself into a cybernetic.
《… Call it the White Night.”
The commander of the 3rd rank Nightmare Corps. It was the main body of the White Night.
