Stuck in The Tower - Chapter 207

Chapter 207 The Sage

The Peak of the Ocean. ocean. 51st floor.

okay. I thought something like this would come out.

In my experience, there was a skill book on the first floor of each floor, and it was the same here.

[Reward is given to those who reach the peak.]

[Underwater Breathing (B)]

This is the default skill.

It’s fun.

You have to come down to the bottom of the sea to get the underwater breathing skill.

The order seems to be out of order, but no complaints.

Because at the top, there is nothing to gain without a challenge.

I just learned the skill.

“Whoa, whoa. It’s definitely comfortable.”

I was able to have a mysterious experience of breathing underwater.

subtle sensation. It is an experience that a normal person would never have had.

Although this alone is a good reward.

[The SS-level Power Star’s eyes are displayed.]

There can’t be only this. It’s where the Kraken is guarding.

The authority is activated and a cloud of light spreads.

Items hidden in a reef in a corner of the peak.

[I found a hidden reward.]

There are many things that are given because it is on the 50th floor.

[Underwater Vision (E)]

– Vision becomes clear even underwater.

[Ocean Boulder (S)]

-Abundant energy of the sea!

– Turbulent vitality!

-If there is a boulder in the ocean, even the dead sea may be revived.

– It is also used as a material for collectors’ collections and artisans.

– Increased chance of marine monsters not attacking.

As you learn underwater vision, your vision becomes clearer.

No matter how good my physical ability is, I can’t help it when things look curved by the water.

My eyes, which were sore from being forced to keep them open, don’t hurt anymore.

Boulder of the Ocean What is this…

“It’s great.”

It’s quite an S-class item.

It has a variety of uses, so you can use it according to the situation.

I just have no intention of selling.

I also made a deal with Nyangfun, and this time I got plenty of money thanks to robbing the looters.

There are some items that I haven’t disposed of, so I think I actually have more money.

Let’s see.

[Possessed points: 1302000 points]

I took a million units.

I think I can confidently say that I am rich wherever I go.

This amount is left over even if you eat only the special lunch box for each meal.

“To the ark!”

“I didn’t say I would do that.”

“To that.”

The guy who looks forward to it a little bit and then becomes sullen.

I can’t help it even if I say that I’m small with what I eat.

About a million points.

many. To the extent that I couldn’t even imagine before.

then what It was a time when even A-grade equipment was used with trembling.

If so…

“If you upgrade your skills, buy crafting materials, and upgrade your equipment, you’ll be robbed sooner or later.”

Coupons used to upgrade skills.

Even the silver level was 7000 points, and in the case of a gold coupon that can be promoted to S grade, you have to purchase it for 10000 points.

How much money would be needed to promote all of the A-level or higher skills currently being used to S-level?

If you do all the skills that you will learn in the future and the skills that have not yet risen to Grade A…?

“Even if I can’t do it, hundreds of thousands of points will just be broken.”

A normal hunter might not care too much.

Because there are many cases where I only upload the things I use as my main focus and leave the rest behind.

In order to raise the skill level, it is common to focus on the things you need to use continuously.

Magical power will be lacking…

But I’m different. Not only is the amount of horsepower itself unbelievable, but also.

[Synthesis of SS-class Power Skills]

You can use the power to raise the level of other skills using the skill book as a material.

In other words, it is not impossible to set the rank of all skills to S rank.

The skill book used as a material would be enormous, but…..

I didn’t receive half of the transaction price with the skill book for nothing.

Additionally, how many more points would I get if I bought a skill book from the shop window?

It’s already creepy.

Is it an illusion that Tongzang keeps coming up?

Whoa. I’m going to think about this later.

“Let’s go up.”

“To the ark.”

[Entering the portal.]

I put my foot into the portal with a light heart.

[The Kraken has died.]

[A new Kraken will be created after 5 minutes.]

Just before I passed, a message popped up saying that I had caught the Kraken.

Looks like you did a good job above.

So let’s get out before it gets too crowded.

Goodbye, fishy place.

-Uh uh uh uh uh

I closed my eyes while completely immersed in the portal.

When I felt like I was being sucked into somewhere along with a sense of floating.

[Entering the 52nd floor.]

[52nd floor – participle of fire and death]

“Ugh.”

A blazing heat greeted me.

* * *

Death on the 52nd floor is a participle.

burning to death.

The conditions for clearing this place are.

[Hold on for a month.]

[Restore the statue in the lava cave in the Kartan Mountains.]

“Am I going to live for another month?”

In the past, before the world turned this way, it was popular to go somewhere and live for a month.

I didn’t expect to see it in the Tower.

Whether it’s holding out for a month or lava caves, I’m not interested right now.

“Two days left.”

Odelto’s soul doll and Heida checked the sealed device in the inventory.

Two days left until the seal is lifted.

It wasn’t over just because I came to the 52nd floor. It will only end when you meet the wise John Trailer and resurrect Odelto.

– Every time Chiiik

walks on the black dead ground, the outside is broken and the red inside is left like footprints.

Fires soaring everywhere.

It is a heat that cannot be compared to that of the 10th floor.

A place no different from hellfire.

The sky is dark with ashes flying up, and my throat tingles every time I breathe, as if poisonous gas is rising.

It was a place where it would be impossible for anyone who did not properly raise their fire resistance to survive.

“It’s hot, but bearable.”

“Yes.”

At least I was patient.

[Fire resistance (B) Lv. 5]

[Poison resistance (A) Lv. 2]

Seeing that it even reacts to poison resistance, it seems that there is a real toxic gas at the same time.

[Water (D) Lv.2]

-Hwaaaah!

I poured water with water, but it evaporates as soon as it is created.

I tried to choke or choke.

The difficulty here is also insane.

I keep sweating from the murderous heat, but I can’t even drink water properly…

I don’t care.

[Frozen Break (AAA) Lv.1]

-Cheeeeeeik!

If I made a block of ice instead of water, I could hold out a little longer.

Drinking cold water at this time.

“That’s it.”

Deokchun also clapped his tongue, as if he wanted it to be this time.

He would have struggled in the past, but now he is relatively relaxed.

It wasn’t just me who grew up.

– Hwareuk

Deokchun puts fire on his body.

It must be to adapt to the environment.

It’s only natural that it has resistance to heat as it has fire properties.

I put Deokchun, who had turned into a ball of fire, on my shoulder and looked around.

Overall dark atmosphere. The sky is dark without a single star, but the earth is burning.

The first thing that catches your eye is the huge mountain.

Lava flows from there.

Oh, there’s also a firearm dragon. Nice to see you after a long time.

And…..

“Kirrureuk!”

Even a black demon-type monster.

Do demon species appear from the 50th floor?

I checked the information.

[Little Devil]

-5-star monsters

– There are fairies in the fairy world and little devils in the underworld!

– If you ignore it because it is small, it may have a limb amputated.

-Stance change is fast.

At most, it was a 5-star monster, similar in size to a fairy.

Flapping its pointed tail wings with a trident is what comes to mind when you think of a devil.

“Kihaaaagh!”

The guy approached quickly.

“Kihaaaa.”

joked in front of me

what’s up, why are you like this Is it buggy?

[Devil’s Friend]

-The demons are approaching in a friendly way.

– You are under the protection of the Great Devil. Demons below a certain level are feared.

It wasn’t a bug.

It was just the effect of the title.

39th floor. It was a title he had obtained by helping Gale.

He gently stroked his hair. A guy who shudders and cringes as if he were honored.

That’s right. kind.

hand.

“Kak!”

Raise your hand coolly.

“It’s unique. Shall I take him and raise him?”

“That’s it.”

Deokchun looks at him with pitiful eyes.

Just kidding. You can’t keep monsters as pets.

The demons don’t seem to have any intention of attacking me, and the only one that dares to attack me is the firearm dragon.

There may be more monsters that haven’t been revealed yet, so I can’t confirm it.

I want to play more with my heart, but I have a busy way to go.

“Do you know where the sage is? John Trailer.”

“Kyap?”

I can’t hear you say

Still, just in case you don’t know.

I took out the Arcenin Gem from my inventory.

[Intermediate Arcane gem (A)]

-The work of John Trailer, the sage who climbed to the 92nd floor in the past.

This is the only thing related to the sage.

I tried to ask Odelto’s spirit doll for directions, but it didn’t respond as if it was exhausted.

“Kee hee hee hee!”

Fortunately, this guy knows something.

The guy who jumped up as if in a fit shuddered.

A look of fear.

I thrust the arcane gem in front of the goblin.

5-star monsters are as powerful as they are intelligent.

Even goblins, which are 1-star monsters, live in groups and sell traps.

“Do you know who made this?”

Even though the language didn’t work, body language worked everywhere.

The result of trying to convey meaning somehow.

“Keeeh.”

I could hear the answer.

The place the goblin pointed to was a space covered with red rocks.

It is the road to the mountains.

is it over there

“okay. thanks.”

In return, he took out a lollipop from his treasure bag and gave it to him.

It’s not ordinary candy. It is an ice candy that has been specially treated so that it does not melt even in this heat.

I left the guy who was tilting his head, not knowing why, and moved.

Giving Deokchun a piece of candy is a bonus.

* * *

1 hour like that.

After defeating the Firearm Dragon and Hell Dog Lava Golem, I was able to reach the rocky area.

“I have been waiting for you.”

I was able to meet an NPC.

An old man who appeared out of nowhere.

white hair and eyebrows.

His face was wrinkled, but his body was strong.

He is holding his hands behind his back, holding the symbol of an NPC, a shining blue heart, and he looks at me and then casts his gaze at Deokchun.

“They said there was a sign, but it turned out to be real.”

“Are you John the Wise Trailer?”

“Right. I am ashamed of the title of sage, so keep it. You must be the climber who took Odelto and Heida with you.”

“How did you know?”

“It’s weak, but I can feel their energy. He has a debt of heart, follow him.”

He sighs and turns around and walks away.

It looks defenseless, but it’s not something I can surprise and defeat.

No matter what anyone says, it’s because he’s a person who has risen to the 90th floor.

Things go easier than you think.

I was worried that I would fight like I did when I met other NPCs.

Is it because he is a wise man? Yes, when it comes to wise men, it is wise time and a symbol of peace.

cancer don’t

Deokchun tilted his head, but ignored it.

More than that…

“This is the road to the lava cave, isn’t it?”

“Good to see you. My hiding place is there. I’ll help you when you go upstairs later. He’s not someone else, he’s the one who brought Odelto and Heida.”

mountain range entrance. There were several cave entrances in the rocky place.

One of the conditions for clearing the 52nd floor is to restore the statue in the lava cave.

I think I can go up without difficulty when I finish my errands.

“Uh… the story of Odelto came up, but why did Odelto die? If it was the original plan, I should have gotten out before then.”

“On the day we were supposed to meet him, he was called by the tower.”

“Ah…”

I understood right away.

The timing was messed up once.

I didn’t know that the sage would be dragged to the tower after I prepared and made a plan.

“Now I can keep the promise I couldn’t keep then.”

Having reached the hideout, John Trailer reaches out to sit down.

Smaller space than expected.

A book full of unknown objects and formulas that look complex even at first glance like a laboratory is spread out.

It wasn’t well organized, and the wise man was scratching his head as if he thought so.

“It’s been a while since I had guests, so I’m a bit dizzy. Sit comfortably. Great.”

I guess I just left it because I was too lazy to clean it up.

Does it make sense that the nobleman who came to pick me up in advance didn’t clean up because he didn’t know if a guest would come?

When I stare blankly at him, he coughs and turns away.

well that’s not what’s important

“Does anyone else come besides me?”

I sat down and asked.

“From an outside perspective, a group of people came 10 years ago. i still remember the name Hwangmo Gu, Seongtak Kim, Moonho Bae… There were several others.”

“Oh, you came more than I thought…”

Wait a minute.

Gu Hwangmo Kim Seong-tak Bae Moon-ho?

that.

“That’s the name of the big guild leaders.”
