Chapter 362. Base maintenance (2)
“Zebaaal!”
Orun’s hammering with all his might exploded.
Sparks flew in all directions.
There is only one chance left.
If it fails again, the material is destroyed.
Needless to say, the life of the blacksmith who destroyed the material would disappear as well.
pounding! pounding! pounding!
One second passed like an eternity.
Orun’s eyelids opened slowly.
Then, right at that moment,
T-ring!
A golden mist rained down with a cheerful sound.
…is a success
“Oohhhh! Okay, okay, okay!”
Orun exclaimed.
The joy of barely surviving and the pride of success came out.
“As expected, I believed. If it was the old man, he would succeed.”
“Yeah, yeah. Actually, I knew that. I’ve been doing it on purpose to give you the right amount of tension. Cohem! Big!”
Orun straightened his shoulders.
Seeing that he shines at important moments, it seems that his old skills have not completely disappeared.
‘good.’
Jinhyeok approached the finished product with a satisfied smile.
A blade with a mixture of soft white light and blue light.
A dagger about 40 cm long is the new weapon you will be using right away.
[Soul of Havelian – Barnard]
Rating: Blue
Durability: 17000 / 17000
Damage: 35000
Characteristics: Due to lightweight magic, the weight drops to 1g. Bleeding (+100) effect is applied for each attack, and critical rate is increased by 10%.
Special Skill: Protection of the Havelian Race (Passive)
Increases attack power by 30% when fighting with an ancient species, spirit beast, or phantom beast species.
Amazing, Great.
I had nothing to say other than this.
‘It’s a bit embarrassing to see the attack power come out like this even though it’s a dagger, isn’t it?’
A whopping 35,000
, and there’s even a lightweight magic on it, so you’ll be able to handle it much more proficiently.
It was also quite satisfactory that the feeling of handling was similar to the fang I used before.
But most of all, it’s fraudulent…
It’s not weight, damage, crit, or bleeding.
‘Special skill’.
As a phantom beast with high affinity, I liked the fact that I could pursue synergy with various races.
Being able to receive a whopping 30% buff in a battle where victory or defeat was split by a margin meant that you could fight even higher ranks.
With this, he would be able to properly play with Kizakiel and other deities like Guntaper.
“Thank you. I really like it.”
Jinhyuk lightly moved his dagger.
‘Barnard’, which scattered blue brilliance, rotated in a gentle curve.
The center of gravity is also perfect.
Sharpness was the same.
‘I want to quickly enter a dungeon or a labyrinth.’
I want to feel like my whole body is itchy.
“I’m glad you were satisfied.”
“Then, let’s go now. The party is waiting for you at the ecliptic.”
“You say you’re throwing a ball, are you going to attend?”
“Sir Abraham forcibly shoved the invitation in, so I was compelled to attend.”
“Hmm, the empire shouldn’t worry much, but besides, be careful when going out to the middle layer.”
“What’s going on?”
“This is advanced information from the Dwarven Kingdom, but heheum. Great!”
Orun cleared his throat and blurted his horse’s tail.
look at this
This nerd-like inspiration…?
“Whoa. I heard that a lot of good wine is served at banquets hosted by the Empire. I think I can steal a few jars.”
“Ohhh! I love that wine too, and I really want to taste it. If you eat it with a goat’s thigh, it’s just…” ”
Okay. So what information?”
As Jinhyeok urged him, Orun slowly opened his mouth.
“Well, it’s about the 20th floor. I heard that players from your world went there some time ago.”
For the players who went to the 20th floor…
It’s Teresa’s story.
Right after the raid on the 19th floor, large guilds led by the Olympus Guild in Europe announced an extensive raid on the 20th floor.
It was heated up in the news and various mass media for two days.
‘The old Olympus guild submaster died… and a new one took his place.’
I heard that they cleaned up the interior very radically and achieved great results.
What was your name?
It was so hectic that I can’t remember exactly.
The important thing is that Teresa is with us in this raid.
“What have the players done?”
“Keuheum. Before that, you must know what the 20th floor is like, right?”
“I know roughly.”
The 20th floor is a battlefield of competition with all kinds of monsters and races.
It is a gigantic arena where fierce battles are fought in order to possess a wider territory even by a span under the strict rule of thumb.
It means that you have to trample on others to survive, and you have to bite others to rise up.
But even there, there were some prohibitions that should never be approached.
Called ‘Little King’.
They are monsters occupying important areas on the 20th floor.
Because they all possessed powerful armed forces and forces, even those on the 20th floor did not invade their territory recklessly.
however.
“You mean the players have entered one of the realms?”
“They said yes. Perhaps, they were coveted for the resources there.
There is only one resource that I covet.
“Magic Stone… Mine.”
“Yeah. They went right there. That really pissed off the guys occupying the mines. Players don’t know it yet, but sooner or later the chasing party will catch up with them.”
“…”
I thought he went to a place that had absolutely nothing to do with the 20th floor raid.
He said that he would climb the tower for the sake of humanity and whatnot.
In fact, they were busy making their own profit.
And that greed will lead to the worst.
‘Large guilds say they have united, but they won’t be able to compete in the war of quantity…’ Only
those who have experienced the 20th floor’s melee can never know.
That’s why
Jinhyeokman predicted what the future situation would be like for the guilds on the 20th floor.
＊＊＊
Kwaaaang!
Cuckoo Cuckoo!
Blood fountains spurted out with a huge explosion sound.
Abigyuhwan (阿鼻叫喚).
There are no words more than this to describe the current situation.
“Kwaaaak! My, my legs…!”
“Healers! What are you doing right now? Healing can’t keep up!”
“Damn it, we’re doing our best too! What do we do with mana?”
Today is the 3rd day since I came to the 20th floor.
However, it felt like I had already spent three years here.
Enemies attacked by monsters like that every day were a nightmare.
Right then.
“Everyone, get behind me! I’ll buy you some time!”
Theresa set out to fix the collapsing display somehow.
[Theresa activates her unique ability ‘Blessing of the Stars’!]
As the dazzling light fell, the monsters’ eyes turned to Theresa.
The ‘executors’, who wielded long scythes wearing black hoods, changed their targets all at once.
“Kill… kill. Offer to the gods as a sacrifice!”
“A festival of blood! Let’s build an altar of flesh and bones!”
“Keeeeeeeee!”
What the raid is currently fighting is the ‘Cult of the Wraith’.
Residents who serve the demons are fanatics whose rationality has long since disappeared.
Although it did not use systematic tactics or strategy, an army without fear was tricky in itself.
Due to his tenacity to kill his opponent even if he died, the damage of the raiding party grew out of control.
Kwak Kwah Kwah Kwah!
Theresa swung a sword made of starlight.
“Gagging!”
“Quaaaaa!”
The bodies of the executioners were cut into pieces by sword attacks with overlapping divine power.
Of course, the executioners wielded scythes and counterattacked, but they couldn’t inflict fatal wounds on Teresa’s body, which was armed with heavy armor.
In an instant, Theresa, who had restored her ranks, jumped into the middle of enemy lines.
Fighting attrition would be a loss in the long run.
If so, you need to grab the enemy commander and end the fight quickly.
Quaang!
Unlike the other Enforcers, a zealot wearing a white hood.
‘elder’.
That guy is the leader of the fanatics.
Teresa sped up even more.
Ordinary fanatics and named enforcers also moved to protect the Elder.
The walls get thicker and thicker.
“Protect Mister Teresa!”
“We must support you so that you can go inside unconditionally!”
The rankers in the raid also had blood vessels on their necks.
Kwaaang!
Quaang!
Support shots from distance dealers continued.
And use that gap.
“This is the end.”
Finally, Teresa was able to reach the elder’s place.
Teresa’s sword soared high into the sky.
at the same time.
“Two Ark. Akrava.”
The elder activated blood-based magic dyed red.
A curse that binds space and twists limbs restrains the entire armor.
Quadduk!
The white armor began to distort little by little.
“Ouch…”
Theresa’s face contorted in pain.
However, he did not stop swinging his sword.
‘Anything like this is… nothing.’
in a much more difficult situation.
under even more extreme conditions.
I knew a player who fought and won.
That’s why I can’t whine and spit out sick sounds here.
You can’t just walk in place without defeating an enemy like this!
Awesome!
Teresa’s sword drew a neat trajectory.
“Ark…Ra…Ba…”
Pufufufu!
Blood spurting out like crazy.
The elder’s body slowly collapsed.
With that, the fight is over.
＊＊＊
About an hour has passed since the battle ended.
The raiding party was busy recovering the wounded and making camp.
“Damn it. What’s this stair like? There has to be something called ‘moderately.’
“If this happens, I’m going to die of exhaustion. I can’t even remember the last time I took a break. Damn it.”
“That’s right. They did it unreasonably without any information. Didn’t this happen because I was trying to get that guy’s magic stone or something?”
Players who were still in good shape complained.
Due to extreme fatigue, the jerky and water didn’t go down their throats even though they were hungry.
‘Everyone is very tired.’
Teresa looked around the camp with worried eyes.
The situation is dangerous now that
morale is
low. I don’t know.
It means that the whole of Europe will plummet to the ground
.
“Whoa,” Teresa
hurriedly
moved toward the largest barracks.
“Mr. Teresa?”
“What are you doing here?”
The two players guarding the barrack entrance immediately took their seats. ” Is
Mr. Faydon inside?”
“Yes. The engineering chief and deputy engineering chief are currently having a meeting inside. If you have any business, please wait a little bit. He told me not to let anyone in.”
“It’s urgent. I need to see you right now.”
“Ha, but…”
The male player slurred as if he was troubled.
But just then.
Kuung!
A
heavy shock shook the earth
. ?”
“Call the rankers right now. Immediately!”
An incident occurred outside the barracks.
