Stuck in The Tower - Chapter 179
Chapter 179 Ki Aek!
A message that came to me after hunting the Mestoca larvae.
[Survival on the road of death!]
[Mestoka larvae have been eliminated.]
[Fairy affinity increases.]
[Mestoka becomes hostile toward you.]
[Designed death misses.]
[Chaos level increases by 1 It’s a good thing that his affinity for fairies has increased
.
There’s nothing wrong with liking anything.
The problem is that Mestoca was furious.
“I’ll see you later.”
“To that.”
If you have to bump into it someday, it’s enough to prepare before then.
You can still be strong.
than that.
“Drop item?”
It’s been a while.
If you catch a monster, sometimes an item will appear.
Most of them were items close to japtem or by-products.
If you spit out when you reach 5 stars, is that a different class?
He dropped two skill books and accessories.
I picked up the skill book, excited to see if there would be a Star Burst.
[Tunnel movement (C)]
– You can move quickly by creating a tunnel.
[Digestion (A)]
– You can digest what you ate.
– The age of chewing stones is no longer a dream!
– Poison or poop is less likely to get sick.
“It’s not an attack skill.”
I’m sorry but I can’t help it.
Still, there was also an A-class skill book called Mestoca Larva.
digest
I wonder if it’s necessary
After entering the tower, most of the meals are eaten at the shop window, and even poisonous food has poison resistance, so you can survive.
Although contaminated food can be a problem.
[Purification Sticker (B)]
– Purifies contaminated materials when wearing equipment with the sticker attached.
There is an artifact I got from betting on the 34th floor, so I’m not too worried.
If not, you can purify it with the water of life.
what though
“There’s nothing wrong with learning it.”
“That’s it.”
you wish You can eat well and live well even without these skills.
Tunnel travel isn’t bad either.
DiG can do similar things, but as we’ve seen, it lacks speed.
Because I had to wait for the time when the ground was dug.
If you don’t know if it’s once or twice, but if you use it continuously, your mana will be consumed in secret.
I have enough magic power, but I have nothing to lose by saving it.
Most of the skills I use have good firepower, but they consume a lot of mana…
“Especially the fog speed is like that.”
Since it is an invincible weapon, the consumption of mana is no joke.
As the level goes up, the pressure increases.
Even if you use it a lot, twice.
If you are in combat, only once.
If you can continue to use it regardless of magic power, that’s more buying.
Because it keeps moving in an invincible state.
It’s been a long time since I got it, but there’s a reason it’s still rated A.
The skill book is like this.
Let’s look at the ornaments.
“Is it like a keyring?”
Contrary to what it looks like, you spit out a cute item.
A soft white sphere.
It has a loop to attach it to other places.
[Predator’s Core (A)]
– ‘Bite (A)’ is applied to the connected equipment.
– Strength +33
– Stamina +40
– Agility +24
– Defense +40
Pretty good.
Its defense is low for an A grade, but it’s not armor, so it can’t be helped.
The stat itself is decent.
Besides, ‘Bite (A)’ is applied.
–
A predator’s core was connected to the end of the Kirik sword handle.
Items that naturally melt and combine.
– Jjaeok!
When he cuts the flesh of the larvae piled up on the floor, it makes a different sound than usual.
There were traces left around the neatly cut cross section, as if something had been ripped off.
blood pouring out at the same time.
Literally tearing the target apart.
It was natural for the destructive power to increase, and if the opponent was a monster, it might induce bleeding.
The reward is good for a single hunt.
“Death Road. Is it because you drilled through there?”
The message generated after hunting him was like that.
This is the road to death.
It was constructed so that those who entered it in the first place would not survive.
As evidence, even though he caught the Mestoca larvae, the options did not appear.
The chaos level is also 1 point, but it went up.
let’s go back
Because I can’t stay here forever.
Go to the 44th floor.
First of all, should I go to the place where the first fork came out?
“Deokchun, are you not on the road?”
“To that.”
okay. I have no idea.
Our Deokchun has a small head, so he has a small brain…..
-Jaak!
“100 million! It’s a joke. A joke. How smart is our deokchun. I know that the larva went to collect starlight.”
I scratched the head of the guy who hit me right away.
A guy who flicks his tongue and glares.
“What are you really like? How did you know about the Mestoca caterpillar?”
“Gww. to him. Gueg.”
He gestured and explained, but I couldn’t understand.
you’ll find out later
Let’s not be in a hurry. Deokchun and I can’t be apart even if we are already separated.
Finding options is a priority.
“I have to complete the Rilka quest as well.”
I went up to the 43rd floor, but I still haven’t gotten the materials I need to collect.
Should I go higher?
Without any information, I can’t be sure.
I searched the store window just in case, but nothing came out.
Let’s take these with us on the way.
The slaughter was used to disassemble the remains of the larvae on the floor.
Since it’s 5-star, I wonder if it can be used for anything.
It’s not even an ordinary monster.
It is the larva of a named monster.
[Mestoka larvae’s flesh]
-It’s soft!
– Among gourmets, it is regarded as a precious food ingredient.
[Mestocca larvae’s sap bag]
– Full of sap that is good for skin care!
-Is it dirty? Your face may be dirtier!
Most of them were crushed and not much was gained.
A pile of flesh and a pocket of sap the size of a palm.
I have to keep it and sell it to the shop window or to Rilka.
I took everything I needed.
“let’s go.”
I moved to the aisle that was fine.
I tried to move to the place where there was a hole in the top.
[It is systematically blocked.]
[You will die if you leave the given field.]
It was impossible to go up.
Unlike other places, the 40th floor has relatively many restrictions.
You probably don’t want to go outside.
I even risked death as a penalty.
– I
walked down the aisle.
don’t know where it goes
If there is one clue.
“Is the juice a little dry here?”
At some point, the ooze in the aisle dried up.
That means the larva never came back.
That too for quite a long time.
On the 43rd floor, two roads met.
The right side was where the larvae were, and the left side was full of skeletons.
If I remember correctly, there was no ooze in the aisle on the left.
There must be a reason why the larva would not go.
In other words, if you move along the dry ooze, you can go to the passage on the left.
[You have entered the normal route.]
Did your prediction come true?
A message came to my mind as I entered the aisle I had arrived after walking for half a day.
brushed the wall
“Dry.”
The juice is completely gone.
I don’t know the exact location, but I know that I have arrived at the place connected to the passage on the left.
Bones scattered everywhere.
I can’t see how old it is.
It doesn’t even smell.
I took a look at the status.
-Passeuk
turns into powder and disappears.
It barely retains its shape, but the inside is empty.
Looking at it this way, I don’t know at all.
“A black circle was drawn at the entrance to the aisle on the left.”
What does that mean?
I guess it has something to do with it.
monster? Or is it a trap?
For some reason, there is not even glowing moss.
There is nothing wrong with being careful about anything.
He raised his sword and moved forward.
Deokchun also confidently climbed onto his shoulder and yawned.
How long has it been since you kept your guard and headed forward?
A passage connected by a line.
There is not even a fork in the road.
“hmm?”
An option that pops into my head then.
[Choose.]
[Return.]
[Go to the road of death.]
– With the appearance of the Ku-gu-gu-gung
option, the wall collapsed and a tunnel was created.
A passage leading to where I came from.
“what?”
to the point of being a little silly.
Is this all?
Doesn’t that mean you can clear the 43rd floor just by going back?
“It’s balanced, though.”
At the fork in the road, one side was the road to death, so it is natural that the other side is the road to life.
The path of death has already been gone.
Isn’t it the road to death now, but the road to nothing?
than that.
“The road is still connected.”
“That’s it.”
What’s inside, you’re telling me to go back?
If you don’t want to do it, what you want to do more is human psychology.
I ignored the option and went forward again.
[Warning!]
[Recommended to go back.]
Kindly even a warning message.
you want to go more
“Geheu.”
Deokchun lets out a small sigh.
why do you want to go
no?
“Geuk?”
A guy who rubs his nose and tilts his head.
Well, what options do you have?
I’ll follow you when I go.
Isn’t this a partner of destiny anyway?
I threw up my fist.
“To the ark.”
Deok-chun, though calm, raises his fist as well.
Destiny Community Fighting!
We flirted and moved forward for about an hour.
A change has occurred.
“How come you look a little darker?”
It’s all dark because there is no light, but I felt a clear change to me watching with night vision.
Both the floor and walls are dead black.
The deeper you go, the darker the color becomes.
“uh?”
dead end road.
There were sprouting leaves that did not match the atmosphere at all.
A black puddle spread out around it.
Is that the sign drawn at the entrance to the aisle?
I lowered my stance and approached.
I feel a sense of alienation.
There are no bone fragments here.
[SS-class powers. The star-gazing eyes are exerted.]
I used my authority to look at the puddle.
So far, there are no special features.
[Leaf of Mandrake]
– It has a strong poison.
– If you are an excellent pharmacist, you can use it as a valuable medicine ingredient.
The leaves were different.
Rilka’s quest material.
Mandrake.
it was here
I was wondering where to find it, so thank you for showing up like this.
“I need to buy ear plugs first.”
Mandrake is a fairly popular elixir, though it is rarely on the market.
It has been featured several times in the media.
Speaking of characteristics, it screams when it is pulled up by human-like roots.
It is an elixir in which the imaginary appearance matches the actual appearance.
This is the first time I’ve actually seen it, so I’ll have to go through the details to find out.
I put on earplugs and hardened my body with an iron will.
With this, I should be able to respond even if I hear a scream.
-I dipped my feet in a puddle that smelled like rotten me
.
A visual that seems to have collected only debris.
My nose furrowed on its own, but I endured it.
Bend down and grab the leaves.
[Poison resistance (B) Lv.8]
[Skill level up!]
[Poison resistance (B) Lv.9]
“Great!”
The poison in the leaves rose up and my arm went numb.
It is so powerful that it is difficult to withstand even with poison resistance.
Let’s finish quickly.
I pulled out the mandrake as best I could.
[Mandrake]
-Legendary Elixir
-Top Magic Ingredient
-Warlock’s Treasure -Lovers’
Cutie
-Absorbs the soul of the slain target and uses the corpse as manure.
“Eh eh!” –
The roots of a person’s face showed a scream that seemed to be torn.
Groggy state for a moment.
I could feel blood dripping from my ears, nose and eyes.
[Soul Scream (S)]
– Screams that gnaw away at the target’s soul.
[Mental protection (B) Lv.2]
[Curse resistance (C) Lv.3]
[Skill level up!]
[Skill level up!]
.
.
.
A message popped up saying that the skill level had risen in succession.
“Ahhh!”
clouded mind.
I felt Deokchun screaming next to me.
It seemed that he had seen Deokchun slapped Mandrake on the cheek just before he completely lost consciousness.
