Chapter 18 Clear
Intermediate Skill Box on the 5th floor.
A monster containing skills ranging from B to D.
It is said that it is less valuable than a skill book that can obtain a specific skill unconditionally, but the fact that it is a hard-to-obtain item has not changed.
Especially when it comes to low-rise areas.
Usually, you have to climb the 30th floor to see it.
A treasure that any hunter could be greedy for was opened in front of me.
-Pahaaaagh!
bright beams of light.
The effect that hinted at the emergence of high-grade skills unfolded.
“done!”
I smiled heartily.
Alerts in sight. Because there was written what I desperately wanted.
[Congratulations!]
[Acquisition of B-class skill Fire Bomb!]
[Fire Bomb (B) Lv.1]
-Creates an explosion at a short distance.
What an attack skill.
After a while, there are many people who say that passive skills are the best and taking care of utilities is good for survival, but that is all bullshit.
Because the most efficient of all skills is the attack skill.
because.
“Because early growth is different.”
No matter how good a skill is in the second half, it is useless if you cannot survive in the beginning.
Climbing the tower is not just a survival game.
Sometimes it’s a battlefield where you have to face monsters that are clearly stronger than yourself.
A powerful shot. A force capable of overpowering an opponent.
It was not a choice, but a necessity, and it was the ultimate value that all hunters should pursue.
“Kra la la rock!”
“okay. Come this way.”
I watched the fish-man warrior as I ate the potion I had in my pocket.
still a bad boy. But there was no fear like before.
Did you notice that something happened?
Thankfully, I didn’t even take a spear and ran this way.
Well, isn’t the direction where the window is stuck different from where I am?
I don’t know if it’s because I know that it’s hard to catch me if I make up my mind and run away.
I narrowed my eyes and glared at the fish-man warrior.
‘You have to get the timing right.’
As stated in the description, Fire Bomb is not a skill that fires projectiles.
A powerful explosion at close range.
If I do something wrong, it will hurt me too.
Instead, just like the name Bomb, it is outstanding in terms of destructive power.
It is a skill that fits perfectly with the term high risk high return.
Time spent opening skill boxes. The fish-man warrior quickly caught up.
‘come!’
The distance between him and me is 10 meters.
For a 3-star monster, it was only a distance that could be approached in one second.
It’s too late to avoid it.
In fact, I have no intention of avoiding it.
“Kleuraak!”
The fish-man warrior approached in an instant and stretched out his arm.
“okay. take me.”
I obediently gave up my arm.
“Kreuk?”
Are you confused?
A fish-man warrior who let out a stupid cry pulled me in.
fit that.
[Sprint (E) Lv1.]
-Boom!
kicked the foot
The moment his pulling power and my driving force combined, the speed was beyond imagination.
“Ha ha ha!”
The fish-man warrior, who had been hit with a torso, was pushed all the way back.
It didn’t take any damage. I was just surprised for a moment.
What I wanted was that momentary gap and distance.
“It will hurt quite a bit.”
He reached out his hand towards the man.
A feeling of intangible energy draining from the body.
-Roaring!
At the same time, the flames that rose according to my will gathered into one point.
Condensed and condensed magic sparks.
It soon reached its breaking point.
[Fire Bomb (B) Lv.1]
-Quaaaaaang!
“Kihaaaaagh!”
It became a huge explosion and hit him.
A dazzling burst of light.
hot heat.
The repulsive force from the explosion and the crumbling earth.
A small crater formed in the scorched land was representing the power of Fire Bomb.
A blow like a small disaster.
The fish-man warrior who was attacked from the front flew back with a scream.
-To-du-du-duduk!
His scales, which were like hard armor, were scattered into pieces.
Is it too emotional if the scales floating in the air and scattering light remind us of showers?
A short impression for a while.
I had to turn my head to the moans coming from far away.
“Kreuk keu ha ha.”
The fallen fish-man warrior got up.
After all, is one room not enough?
This should have done enough damage.
I watched him carefully.
He frowned.
“You missed it.”
What I was aiming for was the center of his head.
Unfortunately it didn’t look like it hit.
It seems that the guy who sensed the danger escaped by a hair’s breadth.
Even so, she couldn’t escape the aftermath of the explosion, and her scales from the left side of her head to her shoulder were all shattered.
blackened flesh. Red flesh can be seen between the gills that have been rolled up after being ripe.
– Is that
all there is to it? Until the scales, which were his strong armor, were lodged in his flesh, and his wounds were torn to shreds.
It was a miracle that he was still alive.
“Kreuk.”
The guy went beyond standing and walked here.
Is it because of the burns? The Fishman Warrior’s left eye seems to have lost its function. I see that it is subtly out of focus.
Someone could say that it was too much to say that it was an achievement achieved with a single attack, but I thought differently.
Because everything was predestined.
‘It’s fortunate that it’s a fire-type attack skill.’
Because his skills and mine are at odds.
The boss monster that appeared in the tutorial section was a degraded version from the beginning, and he even received a penalty to be summoned to the land.
They are vulnerable to heat enough to receive a penalty just for getting out of the water.
In addition, when the flame magic, which is no different from the opposite, was overlapped, it showed great synergy.
What if this place was a waterfront?
“He died before he could escape.”
They say fishmen in the water are strong people on a different level.
Wouldn’t it be a huge advantage just to be free in the water?
Pass the miscellaneous stories for now.
It’s important to get rid of him completely now.
-Suddenly,
the remaining fluid is dripping from his wounds.
If left as it is, it will recover to some extent, if not completely.
Naturally, I don’t intend to watch it.
I aimed my skill at him again.
After using it once, I got a rough idea.
Fishman also flinched as if he felt the danger, but that was all.
[Fire Bomb (B) Lv.1]
-Quaaaaaaang!
My explosions were too fast for the slow bastard to react.
The silhouette of a fish-man warrior engulfed in flames shimmers.
A boy in pain.
A foul smell of burning flesh wafted out, and scales flew into the air at my feet.
A fish-man warrior who was hit by a fire bomb head-on?
“Kr larak.”
It was charred and spit out smoke.
Eyeballs turned white.
A body that leans slowly.
Little by little, the guy who had been shaking drooped.
[Floor 5 cleared!]
The notification window confirmed the death of the fish-man warrior.
“…won. I won!”
Even a 3-star monster.
Although it was a combination of luck and circumstances, it was clear that he had accomplished the impossible.
[You won against an unbeatable enemy!]
[Applause for your courage!]
[1500 points will be awarded!]
Look. Doesn’t the system do the same?
“Wow!”
I threw out my fist and roared.
Also, there was no way to just die.
Even got 1500 points.
As much as it was a tough challenge, they must take care of more.
It’s been a while since I’ve been so drunk with victory.
“Whoa. I really thought I was going to die.”
I lost strength in my legs and sat down in my seat.
It’s only once, but the spot he hit continues to ache.
The broken arm is still there, and the bones have been put together a little, but it is not a complete situation.
Same goes for other parts.
It seems that it was difficult to cure it with one low-grade potion.
Does not matter. because.
“It’s finally over!”
Because the boring tutorial is over.
I cried out loud as I lay on my sprawl.
It seemed like that would relieve the stress built up inside me.
damn top!
Damn tutorial!
In hindsight, it was just that we had crossed the starting point, but it seemed like we had crossed a big hurdle.
Feeling a sense of fullness and catching my breath, I jumped to my feet.
I felt pain in my arm that wasn’t attached properly, but that didn’t matter.
Because I still have work to do.
“I need to get an item.”
I laughed out loud.
The skill boxes I used to catch fish-man warriors were two low and one intermediate.
There are still two lower skill boxes left.
And maybe that phrase would pop up if my predictions were right.
[Additional reward for clearing the 5th floor]
[Differences in reward depending on the level of the boss monster you dealt with.]
[Selecting reward]
“Okay! I thought so.”
The difficulty is different, but there is no way to give everyone the same reward.
If nothing else, it’s a hot system for challenges and rewards.
I looked at the notification and my eyes lit up.
what will come out
item? portion? Artifacts and ornaments are fine too.
Or you could give me another skill box.
The more skills, the better.
Personally, I would like to see protective gear and defensive skill books.
“If you misuse Fire Bomb, I’ll get swept away too.”
I wouldn’t know if the specs had risen to some extent, but it was true that it was a burden right now.
I’m not a suicide bomber, so I can’t fire a firebomb after charging.
“…Are you okay?”
Why did this happen with the bomb horse concept?
I was a little worried, but I shook my head.
How can you do such a dangerous thing without going crazy?
It’s not like there’s a spare in life.
“Let’s pick up the box first.”
Apparently, some time is left for the reward to be selected.
I took the backpack and crossbow bolts that I had slack off and found the low-level skill boxes hidden here and there.
two in total.
I was troubled.
“Should I just use this or sell it?”
When you go up to the 6th floor, all systems are unlocked.
The story that you can use the shop and auction house private trade.
With points, you could buy all sorts of miscellaneous things.
Conversely, you could also earn points by selling things you don’t use.
“I had 1800 points before. Because what I got this time is 1500 points.”
A total of 3300 points?
To be honest, I have no idea if this is a lot or a little.
You know what you should have done.
I heard that the more points, the better.
“A low-level skill box would still cost a bit more.”
I looked at the low-level skill box that I was holding tightly.
It may not be a big deal to those who are climbing the upper floors, but it is coveted by hunters who have just passed the tutorial or challenged the 10th floor.
Most of them got only one skill on the 5th floor.
Mmm. what about this
“Let’s take one off and keep the other.”
It’s important to protect my comfort and it’s also important to collect points.
If it’s dangerous, I can use the remaining one.
I put a skill box in my backpack and smacked my lips.
Then let’s try box cracking.
It’s always fun to draw.
“open.”
I threw the skill box and shouted.
[Congratulations!]
[You have acquired the E-level skill, Night Vision.]
“Yeah. Too bad.”
I was able to acquire just that skill.
night vision Depending on the situation, I think it could be useful.
Anything is good.
It’s normal to get a skill of this level after getting a B-class skill.
What would happen if you had this skill in real combat?
I don’t even want to think about it.
“It’s a complete stroke of luck.”
Doesn’t it mean that even those who made it to the 5th floor safely could die after one slip of the skill draw?
uh It’s terrible.
[Selection complete.]
While I was feeling the wickedness of the tower again, a welcome notification came to my mind.
okay. what will you give me
It is expected.
It’s not another boss mob, it’s a 3 star monster.
I don’t know, but I usually wouldn’t give anything away.
Maybe you’ll get a ridiculous scam.
gulp.
I stared at the notification window and swallowed.
[Reward will be given!]
“… and this.”
I couldn’t keep my mouth shut at the identity of the unexpected reward.
