Chapter 88 The Ruler of the 19th Floor
What’s the situation?
am i dreaming
Or did you get the heat from walking around in the flames?
It can’t be.
It makes no sense.
A thousand thoughts passed through my head, but the scene in front of me did not change.
“I missed you. I didn’t know what I liked, so I prepared mainly meat. Since ancient times, when it comes to men, it must be meat!”
Uncle rice cake.
No, the boss on the 19th floor was raising his voice.
quite a giant. Although not a monster level, he was a person who boasted a considerable size by human standards, but he was holding a dainty firecracker in one hand.
why isn’t it there The one that comes with the purchase of a cake.
is it your birthday?
what the hell is this
“That’s it!”
Deokchun seemed to be okay, but he quickly ran to the table and put the food in his mouth.
What if there is poison inside?
um no
They have poison in their characteristics, but they probably don’t care if they have poison or not.
I also have poison resistance, so there’s no chance of being poisoned out of nowhere.
“I am not good at etiquette. Because I eat outside so much. Ha ha ha ha ha!”
“Ah yes.”
I don’t know.
He had no hostility at all, so there was nothing wrong with taking out a knife from my side first.
Was the 19th floor originally like this?
I tried to remember, but nothing came to mind.
Since the purpose is not to fight, but to receive recognition, there were various types of reviews posted on the community.
Some did sparring and others proved their stamina.
I don’t know if that’s true, but I think there were people who played chess in the flames.
Is it acceptable for me to have a meal together?
Then it’s sweet.
‘Since he has no intention of attacking, he might just go up like he did on the 16th floor.’
There was a time when a portal opened by itself because the fire spirit had no intention of fighting.
There was no law against it this time either.
“oh!”
When you sit on a chair and put food in your mouth, exclamations come out.
It looks rough, but the taste is amazing.
how to say Where to go camping and eat grilled meat?
The fire taste is alive, and the inside is unexpectedly soft.
The fat is well-cooked, and it has a savory yet savory taste.
“I like it! eat this It’s my special sauce.”
“Good.”
Dip the meat in the sauce he served, and the sweet yet rich flavor comes up.
Is this person actually a chef, not a boss?
okay. Fire when cooking.
You won’t even get a message saying you’re poisoned, let’s eat until your stomach bursts.
I only ate the store ticket lunch box because I was climbing.
Having made my decision, I thought this was the moment, so I put in the food.
“Ha ha ha! very good! I’m proud of everyone who ate it deliciously!”
The boss also laughed heartily and began to focus on the meal.
Is it because it’s big?
The amount you eat is amazing.
There was a time when I was starving too, so I only ate sesame seeds… Because
when food becomes scarce, I get into the habit of eating as much as I can while I can.
This man did more.
Because I came to the meal with the momentum to chew the table.
“Your frog friend is quite good too!”
The boss shouted with something over his mouth.
Deokchun?
“…woah.”
Deokchun, who had been eating from the end of the table, pushed all the way to the center.
Bone fragments and crumbs scattered on the table.
How many empty plates are there?
In fact, have you been eating moderately?
Did you feel sick to your stomach after you forgot two lunches by yourself?
Is it possible to fit all of that body in the first place?
It seems physically impossible.
[Tip. An anglerfish or other specific monsters can eat dozens of times their body size.]
Our Deokchun is not an anglerfish.
done. I will eat it because I can eat it.
If you have an upset stomach, buy some digestive medicine.
Quietly chewing the meat, I checked the boss on the 19th floor.
Bob is Bob, and you should get what you can get information from.
[The ruler of the 19th floor]
– You can’t fully use your body’s power.
– self-reproaching saint.
-The protection of fire is with you.
Again, I couldn’t get any great information.
Even his name is the ruler of the 19th floor, so it is impossible to confirm his real name.
One piece of information stands out.
protection of fire.
It must have been said by Magnarok at the Hyaltin Ruins.
That I have the protection of fire.
Shall I ask you one more time?
I glanced at him.
The first person you meet upon reaching the tower is the field boss.
what does it feel like
‘It feels more like an NPC than an enemy.’
Then it’s understandable that he comes out favorably.
Because I cleared Rilka’s quest and gained favor from the NPCs.
If you do this well, you can eat it raw?
Satisfied inwardly, I drank a drink.
I can’t eat anymore because I’m full.
It also seems similar.
Deokchun.
“Hey hey. Come to work.”
“The ark.”
He was licking an empty plate.
Anyone who sees you will know you’re hungry.
“Shouldn’t you have fed him well?”
The field boss scolds.
it’s oh You feed more than me.
I suddenly felt unfair, but I brushed it off.
“Now, I will fill my stomach. Shall we begin the ordeal?”
“A trial?”
Didn’t you just finish eating?
He tilts his head as if he read my expression.
“Then you need my approval to create a portal. Or will you stay here? won’t dry I would also like to have a companion.”
-As soon as
he snapped his fingers, the table and chair disappeared like a lie.
I almost lost my balance and hit my butt, but I was able to avoid the embarrassing moment with my improved reflexes.
“I like you. A meal is just a favor.”
-thud!
Giving me time to adjust my stance, he plunged his sword into the ground.
A greatsword as large as its size.
I wondered if I could wield it, but it seemed light to him.
“There is something I am personally grateful for.”
thank you?
I’m seeing him for the first time
Of course, nothing has been done.
Doubts piled up, but the thoughts didn’t last long.
[Aura of fire permeates.]
[Affinity of fire dwells.]
[Connects with the image of fire.]
[The bowl of fire is completed.]
Notification windows popped up in front of me one after another.
What is it all about?
“Didn’t I tell you it was a favor?”
“What about the food I ate?”
Boss nods.
It wasn’t just a meal treat.
some kind of buff? was to give it
why?
No, even Deokchun before that?
“Arch eh eh!”
-Fuhuaaaak!
Deokchun spit out flames to see if it was just me.
It seems to be much stronger than before.
Looking at the characteristics, the fire grade has been upgraded by one level.
It is dramatic for a change that occurred just by eating one meal.
I had a lot to ask, but he was faster.
“With this, the bowl is ready.”
-Kuduk-
ssiik. Raising the corners of his mouth, he took out the shield he was carrying on his back.
A shield large enough to cover the entire body.
It was crude without any decorations, but it looked solid as it was made of metal.
-Kirik
Boss even lifted the greatsword that had been inserted into the ground with one hand.
It is an inexorable monster.
The greatsword and shield must have been incredibly heavy.
“I will begin the ordeal. pass through me.”
-Roaring!
As soon as he finishes his words, the fire soars.
A wall of fire that blocked both sides as if it would not tolerate counting elsewhere.
There was a boss in front, and behind it was a circle that looked like an arrival point.
“If you reach that point, I will give you a nice gift, so do your best, challenger.”
mischievous smile.
curious eyes.
The outward display of enthusiasm and joy.
It was good to see that I was looking forward to this place.
Then I should do my best.
“I will accept the favor with gratitude.”
– Chakang
pulled out the sword.
Frost Flame is not black.
As it was sealed, it lost its function and had no meaning other than being solid…
If you use the title of relic plunderer, you can use it once, but now is not the time.
[Guide Sword (C)]
-It will help you on your journey.
– The sword path becomes a little smoother.
– Strength +17
– Dexterity +12
– Stamina +6
Store bought.
It’s just about average for a C grade.
A few but helpful options ran.
Will this be enough?
Shrug. brushed his shoulders
You’ll know if you do it.
Let’s go, Deokchun.
“Let’s drill!”
“Ahhh!”
Deokchun, who is full of strength, screamed and I threw water and dig in front.
then fire.
-Pits dug all over
Shuaaa .
water in it.
A fire that evaporates water.
In an instant, steam covered the space.
After all, the goal is the arrival point.
You don’t have to sweat while hitting.
“Hahahaha! Fine hair doesn’t work!”
bang!
I heard him stamping his feet.
-Koo-gu-gu-gu-gung
-Kuhwaaaa!
The heat rose at once.
A momentary heat that suffocates the breath.
[Burns are prevented!]
My eyes are dry and the tip of my nose is hot.
What if you sprint at full speed in a steam room or sauna?
If it wasn’t for the potion I drank before coming in, I think I would have gotten used to it a long time ago.
“Come in hot!”
“Kuk!”
The steam was completely blown away by the heat, and the boss, who had approached right in front of me, pushed his shield.
It looks like a dump truck is coming towards you.
It is unreasonable to receive it physically. If that’s the case…
[Running Fog (B) Lv. 8]
I have no choice but to pass by!
The misted body scatters and stretches out.
fast pace.
As the level went up, the duration also increased, albeit a little.
That’s enough to get through…!
“No way!”
-Paaaaang!
he groaned.
An intense wave spreads.
Of course there is no damage.
It’s because you’re immune to all attacks for as long as it’s fogged up.
But stopping was another thing.
The body, fogged by the impact, was pushed back.
shit! Again this is the first time
I never thought I would get in the way like this.
Although the fogged body is freewheeling, it does not mean that it does not have substance itself.
[Fogification ends.]
-Kudangtang!
As the duration expired, he rolled around in the hallway.
I had aches here and there because I couldn’t get my posture right, but it wasn’t the time to pay attention to that.
Because the boss threw a huge body and attacked.
[Cutting (C) Lv.8]
-Kaaaaang!
A sword swung reflexively.
I tried to threaten him by using cutting, but his shield blocked it.
A greatsword flying at the right timing.
– The Quagga River!
I rolled over and barely escaped.
I get goosebumps.
The connection is huge.
He knew, of course, that a counterattack would come after the attack was blocked.
Still, I couldn’t defend myself properly.
The timing is faster than me.
‘I was sure it would stop the attack.’
Otherwise, I couldn’t hit the greatsword this fast.
great confidence.
It was proof that he believed in his shield technique.
It was actually excellent.
that it is
‘I guess I can use it.’
seemed like a possibility.
The hand holding the sword forward.
The remaining hand was slowly pulled back.
The wriggling boss’s eyebrows.
that would be weird
Suddenly holding the sword in one hand.
“Deokchun, get ready.”
“To the ark.”
Details have been omitted.
Anyway, Deokchun and I are connected.
I was able to exchange operations just by thinking about it.
[Brooch of Boiling Power (B)]
[Buff Dice (B) Lv.1]
[4]
[Reflection]
I put on a buff.
Stats doubled.
Tick 4 buff reflection.
It is a useful buff that returns some of the damage you receive to the attacker.
“Looks like you’re finally ready to fight. Come in.”
Feeling the change in my momentum, the boss held out his shield and lowered his stance.
A raised greatsword that can strike at any time.
– Taat
I ran towards him.
and.
[Fire Bomb (A) Lv.1]
[Fire Bomb (A) Lv.1]
Randomly detonated a Fire Bomb rated A.
– Swoop!
Approach him by hiding from the explosion.
The hand holding the sword quickly stabbed it.
“Not a bad approach!”
Even though he found me late, his relaxed expression.
I guess so.
If you approach it, you will be in front of the shield.
No matter how hard I am, it is impossible to pierce a lump of iron with a stab.
The boss seemed to be aware of that as well, preparing for another attack.
I also matched his expectations.
[Frozen Break (A) Lv. 5]
A chill that covers the boss.
The frost thickens and soon turns to ice.
The smoke that frightens me to freeze my whole body.
– Kwajangchang!
“This kind of ice can’t hold me!”
I thought mine would be like that.
Anyway, they’re swindlers. To think they’re attacking A-class skills like this.
It’s okay though.
Because this is the real thing anyway.
I opened the treasure bag with my hand behind my back.
[The Relic Looter (title) is activated.]
It was time to use the relic.
