Stuck in The Tower - Chapter 118

Labyrinth

of Puregos I woke up in a dark room.

Although there was nothing to call it a room, the walls and ceiling were not even covered with wallpaper.

There were no windows, of course, and the only lighting was luminescent moss growing from a crack in the wall.

Thanks to night vision, there was no problem seeing.

“Is this a labyrinth?”

“Gue eh eh.”

After confirming that Deokchun had arrived safely, I looked at the treasure map.

don’t know where this is Because there is no separate entrance marked.

Complex structure. The first thing is to figure out where I am.

I have to leave the room first.

“I’m sure the message popped up when I came in.”

Before that, there is something to check.

I looked at the message log.

[You cannot use the shop window while in the labyrinth.]

[You cannot leave the labyrinth for a week.]

Two messages were found.

now i get it The reason why the snow spirit queen told me to pack food.

Regardless of physical condition or armed status, people will die if they do not take in nutrients.

one week. That said, there must be at least enough food to last that period.

I opened the treasure bag and checked the food.

I bought it leisurely as Deokchun was there, but I didn’t expect to be locked up for a week.

I installed an alarm skill at the entrance to the room and sat down on the floor.

Let’s line up all the food we’ve gathered.

“I think I can last for about 10 days if I eat sparingly.”

If you keep starving in mind, you will be able to last for 15 days.

If there are no problems in the middle, it will last for a week.

I took a deep breath and glared at the inside of the labyrinth.

This ruin must succeed without dying.

After a few days, new people enter the tower.

You have to reach the 30th floor before that, so you can keep an eye on the movements of the large guild.

You can also make potions more comfortably.

“If you die, you have to start over on the 20th floor.”

Losing both time and money. Is that all? You also have to pass the 24th floor where the Flower and Bird Bureau is located.

What if you’re unlucky and get caught by them? well. I have no idea what will happen. I don’t know why Empress Geumcheon is interested in me.

At worst, you’ll get stuck there, unable to climb the tower, or die.

Put aside for a moment what didn’t happen.

“Water.”

-Saaaaa

I checked that the water skill is working properly.

Even if you lose food, you will be able to eat enough water.

I put the road rations in the treasure bag and headed for the door.

This is the only door in the room.

–

I turned the handle with a click.

[Checking the intruder.]

[The labyrinth is activated.]

A message announcing the start came to mind.

He opened the door and hid himself behind it.

-Ahh!

– Teeing!

An arrow flying straight through.

I wondered if there was an enemy, but it was an arrow attack.

At that level, I think I could block it with my bare body.

“The ark.”

Deokchun points to the tip of the arrow.

There is something. It’s not just an arrow.

[Depth Charge Arrow (B)]

– Lightning flows along with the explosion.

– Cannot be triggered before touching a living creature.

It was something with special options.

A grade B for one arrow?

“It’s crazy.”

this place. Maybe it’s more dangerous than I imagined.

He poked his head slightly through the door. A rare glowstone embedded in the hallway ceiling.

If you didn’t have the night vision skill, you could barely recognize the shape.

I looked pretty good.

Nothing looks suspicious. Corridor leading straight ahead. An elongated barrel was installed where the arrow might have flown.

Judging by the size, it seems to be a one-shot trap.

He grabbed the arrow that had fallen on the floor in one hand and pulled out the sword in the other.

“Deokchun, keep an eye on your back. got it?”

“To the ark.”

It’s hard to dodge the attack from the back of the head.

Thanks to Deokchun, my heart is at ease.

moved forward slowly. You should be here for a week anyway. Let’s not be in a hurry.

He developed his five senses and did not let down his guard.

where is the trap What is the monster’s sign? You should also be mindful of the possibility of getting stuck at a dead end.

It’s still.

‘It’s strangely quiet.’

The trap should trigger at least once by now. Because the distance passed is so long.

As soon as you open the door, where the trap is triggered, it comes out like this? Clearly there is something.

I strained my eyes and looked around.

[The S-class Power Star Watching Eye is activated.]

None. There are no pitfalls.

Mac is unraveling. It was a really empty space. I lost all my energy because I was nervous.

Was this what you were aiming for in the first place? Are you nervous and moving slowly?

wait for a sec.

“…Move slowly?”

A sense of crisis came over me, and I ran straight ahead.

Yes. As soon as they passed through the door, they shot an arrow to raise the tension and induce them to move slowly.

why? That’s because I’m in trouble if I move straight away!

-Pababat!

rushed with full force You can see the end of the hallway.

An uneasy flickering glowstone.

– Within a few seconds,

I heard the sound of gas being ejected from somewhere.

-The

door installed at the end of the hallway at Goo Goo Goo began to lock.

little. very little short

[Fire Bomb (A) Lv.6]

[Skill level up!]

[Fire Bomb (A) Lv.7]

-Quaaaaaang!

Suddenly, it exploded behind my back.

A shockwave that hits all over the body. I moved forward as if I was being thrown out.

-Chulkeng

-I

managed to get out of the hallway just before the door closed.

Sweat drips down your forehead.

Through the window attached to the door, you can see the scenery of the corridor.

It’s filled with a body that doesn’t look good at all.

[Acid Fog (AA)]

-It is a fog with strong acidity.

– Stay away if you don’t want your flesh and muscles to melt.

What would have happened if I had arrived a little later?

Somehow, it must have melted like ice cream.

No matter how you hold on, there is a high possibility that you will be fatally injured. It’s an acidic fog with an AA rating.

I paid attention to that part. The fact that there is a grade means that it is a skill-based trap. It must have been an artifact or magical engineering.

artificially created space. It is full of traps prepared only for the death of intruders.

The difficulty is just astonishing.

Should we applaud the thorough murder design?

Thanks to that, the memories of the tutorial section come to mind.

Tsk. He clicked his tongue once and turned his head.

“Three forks in the road.”

One to the front and one to the left and right. You have to move to one of the three.

I don’t know if there’s something here where I’m standing.

I’d like to continue to retain power if possible.

“I am mentally exhausted. If possible, use it only when necessary.”

I don’t know when I use this thing called power once or twice, but if I continue to use it, I get tired quickly.

You have to conserve your strength as much as possible as you have to endure for at least a week.

I checked to see if there were any hidden traps and took out a map.

You need to find out the location.

A room connected to a hallway. A long hallway. Three forks at the end of the hallway.

I frowned.

“There are four of them.”

There are several similar structures. It is impossible to determine the exact location. There should be more information.

Upon examining the entrance leading to each aisle, I realized that something like graffiti was drawn on the wall.

“triangle. that’s square There is also a circle.”

A triangle square circle is drawn from the left barrel.

What do you mean?

I took the notebook out of the pouch. Let’s record it for now. It may be meaningless, but do you know? It will be the key to breaking through the labyrinth.

After writing the pattern, I put my notebook and ballpoint pen back and moved to the passage on the right.

where the circle is drawn.

-Chwiiik

“What?”

As soon as I step out into the aisle, the entrance closes.

Is it a system where every time you choose a path, other paths are blocked?

If so, every time you take the wrong path, there is no escape hole.

It’s the evil that I feel for the first time in a while.

Conscientiously, don’t block the aisle.

If you complain, no one will listen. All you have to do is keep moving.

Previously.

[Fire Bomb (A) Lv.7]

-Quaaaaaang!

It exploded towards the closed door.

powerful firepower. Its power, no different from that of a bomb, could not be blocked with an ordinary iron plate.

If the passage is blocked, you can open it. Is there any need to play around with the labyrinth designer’s intentions?

-Huuuuu

The smoke that had risen went away and the door that had been hit directly by the explosion appeared.

It’s dented, but it’s still holding up.

A faintly glowing magic circle.

“It must have been a magical object.”

And what about walls and ceilings?

As a test, he exploded fire bombs everywhere.

Fortunately, several hidden traps were broken and even fell in the aftermath of the impact.

The walls and ceiling were in good condition, as I wanted them to be.

Still, the door is dented, but these are not even scratched.

It looked like it would collapse after beating it all day, but that would be a waste of mana.

Judging from the map, the scale of the labyrinth is considerable. You can’t survive by just wasting your strength.

“I’m glad you can still break down the door.”

“The ark.”

Duduk.

He bent his neck once and swung his sword toward the door.

[An unyielding Sword Demon with SS-class powers responds.]

The power Alios gave me moved, and the more I swung my sword, the more I got stronger.

The result of putting my best effort into one sword and one sword.

-Kwajik

-Kwagagagak!

Gears could break down the door.

after. I caught my breath and recalled approximately how long it took.

I don’t know the exact time, but I think it took about 3 minutes.

I think 1 minute would be enough if I break it with firebomb. It will use some magic.

Still, it felt good to have made a way out.

“I’ll have to break down the aisle beforehand.”

Minutes are a very long time in an emergency.

I walked down the aisle, determined to break through any door that would close ahead as quickly as possible.

To be able to react at any time, the sword looked at the front while maintaining its balance so as not to be biased to one side.

-Passs

Sometimes, the powers are manifested and hidden traps are revealed.

Pit trap in the floor. It was a sizeable size, but I’m not what I used to be.

step back a bit

– Huung!

just jump over!

It passed through the 10-meter length as it was.

– Quagga gaga gaga!

[Rolling rolling stone]

– This stone rolls hard!

– To crush you!

The rocks running with terrifying momentum along the ramp.

– Kwaaaaang!

He kicked it and broke it.

A rock that explodes at once. Debris exploded in all directions, hitting the walls and ceiling before falling to the floor.

Classic pitfalls.

Well, if you don’t have these things, it’s a bit sad.

It was a dangerous trap even when I first entered the tower, but now I was able to pass easily.

However, let’s not slow down the tension.

Besides these miscellaneous traps, we know that there are powerful traps hiding there.

For example.

“Something like that?”

Wow. That’s where it comes from.
