Stuck in The Tower - Chapter 393
As you enter the
bloody World Tree forest, the sticky air clings to your body.
It should be said that the environment itself has changed. It was full of hostile energy, and strangely grown plants caught my ankle.
The feeling of being a huge creature watching us.
furthermore.
–
The topography has changed from time to time because of the plants that move using the roots as bridges.
This is like a moving maze. It was almost impossible for ordinary people, even those who had lived in the forest for a long time, to find their way.
“Go back to the left. I think there is a creature on the right.”
“I agree. I can feel their energy.”
Medi, the elder of the elves, was finding the right way here as well.
I don’t know if it’s a racial trait or if it’s a special ability.
Its search ability is also at a high level, so it is avoiding threats that can be avoided. Elder Pargal, who knows well about creatures and monsters, is also giving advice.
So far, it’s smooth, but it’s smooth.
“How long will it take to reach the World Tree?”
“I can’t tell for sure. All previous routes are gone.”
“It means we have no choice but to hurry as much as possible.”
We had to move fast as we did not know how much time was given to us.
Not just us.
‘I don’t know how long the World Tree will remain rational.’
The time left for the World Tree also had to be considered.
The time when I was secretly moving with my eyes narrowed.
“Khaaaaang!”
“It’s a creature!”
A creature cleverly hiding in the dirt surfaced.
From ambush to surprise. It is understandable why the Rangers and the Mobile Strike Team were attacked.
-Suddenly!
Meddy raises her sword. Although she could no longer use spirits, she said that she too had once been a member of the Mobile Strike Team.
It was quite a sharp blow as the physical itself was excellent.
“Let’s finish.”
-Chwaaaaagh!
I also rushed forward and slit his neck.
A sword that entered smoothly. For a while, you can feel the resistance of the muscles and foreign substances that have gathered inside.
The head that soared into the sky fell to the ground.
I frowned slightly at the sensation remaining on my fingertips.
The closer you get to the world tree, the stronger the creature becomes. Although he cut his throat at once, there is no guarantee that the next guy he meets will do the same.
I had a hunch that strong guys would gather in the center to protect the world tree.
[The freed spirit is delighted.]
[Affinity with the spirit increases.]
Same message this time. He closed his mouth and looked away.
As much as I tried to head for the World Tree without friction as much as possible, I didn’t use the fire bomb. Creatures and monsters will flock to the roar.
Of course, I couldn’t fool their eyes completely at the start of the battle.
“The smell of blood will spread. I need to speed up more.”
Leaving behind the corpse of the creature that was regaining its original form, he ran forward.
– Woo woo woo!
-Grrrrrrrrrrrr!
Have you already smelled it? I started to hear their cries.
The wind doesn’t blow, but the tree branches sway by themselves. Frequently changing terrain. Irregularly heard creatures cry.
how far did you come The frustration of not being able to determine the current location came over.
“The energy of the World Tree is getting stronger. It wouldn’t have been that far.”
“What the elder said is correct. I can definitely feel it.”
“It’s shorter than the distance we’ve come so far.”
According to the senses of the elves, it didn’t seem too far off.
From dawn until now, the forced march has been going on. It was because they were moving through a vast forest avoiding monsters.
In other words…
“It means that you can arrive faster if you overdo it!”
– Quaang!
The hair loss man shouted after pushing the branch wielded by the monster tree with a head-butt.
A tree that has been deformed and its branches have turned into giant hammers.
-Charrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Then, a root like a whip rises and tries to catch us.
It aimed for the neck and cut off the root that was coming in, while avoiding an attempt to tie the ankle.
The trickyness of not knowing when and how an attack might come.
If the field of view was narrow, it was obvious that he would not be able to hold on for long and be defeated.
“Stop!”
thud!
The roots that were rampant due to Elder Fargal’s magic temporarily hardened.
A stiff root is nothing more than a good thing to cut.
Dozens of pieces were blown away by the swiftly swung sword.
“Special weed killer! Even the trees die!”
“…Isn’t that enough of a defective product?”
“I don’t know either!”
– Chiiyiik!
Nyangfun sprayed a huge spray everywhere he didn’t know where he bought it.
It seems harmless to humans, but deadly to plants.
“Geugguk!”
The monster made a strange sound and twisted its body.
Roots curled up as if burned. Do you want to be at this time?
“It’s good that you brought the noose.”
Lick put a noose on the trunk of the tree and compressed it as it was.
-Kudeudeuk
-Kwajik!
The pillar was cut off.
It’s thick enough to be held by three or four people, but it’s shaped like it can’t withstand compression.
Even after it was broken, we wielded tree branches and roots as if we were desperate, but it was after we had already left the place.
“This location has been discovered.”
Meddy’s warning raised her senses.
It seems that I caught their attention in this battle.
It seems to be because the density of creatures and monsters increases as you get closer to the center.
“Now that this has happened, it looks like we will have to forcefully break through.”
“I agree. Can you do medi?”
“If you have to do it, you have to do it.”
It is a great achievement to have come without any battles so far.
They had enough horsepower, and they were not easy enough to lose their stamina after marching this much.
“Ficca Miffy. Be at the forefront with me.”
“All right.”
“You can just go in the direction you can go as quickly as possible without worrying about anything else.”
The Elves, who could feel the World Forest more clearly and had good mobility, started to run in the lead.
The shortest course without considering encountering enemies.
The speed at which they moved so far was incomparably faster.
“Show the power of a druid!”
“All right!”
“Protect the elves!”
Druid warriors, including Fargal, blocked the enemies with their bodies so that they would not get in their way.
The hair loss man also rushed to see if he was stimulated by the appearance of a creature and a hand-to-hand fight with his unique strength.
“okay! This one suits me better!”
“That’s right, you ignorant bastard!”
– Kwaaaaang!
A lick that bruises the hair loss man who kicked the creature that showed up coolly.
That said, I think this one suits my taste better. Each member has a different inclination, but Limp is also the one who goes wild when he doesn’t have to hide.
“I hate this!”
Nyanpun is an exception. He’s basically a guy who puts safety first.
It doesn’t come out clean though.
[Gold Explosion (S) Lv. 10]
[Title of money is flashing!]
-Kwagwagwagwagwang!
The safest way is to eliminate the threat. The gold coins scattered in all directions burst out and swept the area.
If the conditions are right, the one with the most firepower is Nyangfun. There are a lot of goods and materials that go into doing that.
The money was spent like water… No, it was like a bomb, so all the guys who attacked were slowed down.
As I entered inside without missing the opportunity, the air changed.
-Saaaa
[entered the center of the transformed world forest.]
[The penalty is further strengthened.]
[Creature and the stats of monsters are rising
.
]
“Ugh ugh!”
The air itself feels heavy and damp.
The sticky energy clung to my body, and unlike before, I felt a clear gaze and a sense of life.
because.
“Avoid! Everything from here on out is a monster!”
– Quaang!
– Quagga gagagak!
All the plants in the center were made up of stumps.
The guys I’ve dealt with so far are all weak objects pushed to the center. Difficulty has risen vertically.
“I can’t stand it any longer!”
“no!”
As the mental debuff intensified, one elf ranger who lost his mind left his seat.
Perhaps seeing a hallucination, the person who shot the bow in the wrong place threw himself into the forest.
“Khaaaang!”
It was bitten by the creature.
Creatures much larger and more powerful than those outside the center.
It was a monster whose stats had risen to the top after receiving the blessing of the World Tree.
“The World Tree is in front! I have to go somehow!”
“The bow doesn’t work!”
“Big! Too hard!”
The protection of monsters and creatures was so strong that normal attacks did not work.
An arrow that bounces effortlessly. Miffy lowered her posture and swung her sword.
– Chakang!
The sword shattered as it was, and the pillar of the monster tree that came in through the gap blew Miffy away.
difference in absolute physical force.
Whika ran to save Miffy, who flew away too lightly.
-Quaaaaaagh!
Roots sprang up from all sides to hold her back.
If left as it is, death is certain.
[Fire Bomb (S) Lv.10]
-Quaaaaaaang!
There is no need to conserve skills here. It’s not even a level that can be saved and passed.
Even if it’s a monster, the basic is a tree. It was natural that he hated fire, and the hair loss man, who threw himself at the gap where the root escaped, hugged Miffy who was on the verge of being crushed.
– Quaang! bang!
The face of the hair loss man, who was attacked on the back by a monster that hit him indiscriminately, was crumpled.
“Aaaaaaa!”
I shook it off with spirit, and Mehdi and Pargal Whika stuck to them and helped them.
The gaze and life felt from all sides.
“Saaaaaa!”
A creature in the form of a snake passes through the trees and opens its mouth.
venom spewing out of the mouth. It was poisonous enough to activate poison resistance just by being nearby, and it was obvious that it would take a big hit if it was overturned.
[Druid Pargal takes root!]
-Udeuk
-Uudukdeuk
“I guess I’ll have to stay here.”
Pargal, who in an instant turned into a huge tree, protected them.
Colossal size, even compared to a goblin. Rooted deep into the ground, he couldn’t move, but his upper body remained intact and he swung his arm once.
-Quarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
The monster, unable to overcome its strength, was pulled out as a pillar.
Creatures were alert and barked, and monsters screamed grotesquely and pounded Pargal with their whole bodies.
“This side we will hold out! Get inside! Medi! Please take care of the back work!”
“We will be helping Elder Pargal! You won’t be of much help inside!”
“I’ll draw as much attention as possible, so please ask for the world tree!”
Miffy and Whika, who were unable to attack properly, began to cooperate with Pargal to hold on.
“Let’s go. From the time I came here, I had no intention of returning alive.”
“You have to move.”
Druid warriors absentmindedly dragged Sun Medi.
Then, coming to her senses, she bites her lip.
When Whika and Miffy are left, she is the only one who can accurately tell them the way to the World Tree.
“This way.”
Lastly, Meddy, who has her eyes on them, runs into the forest with all her might.
I flung my body away from the branches coming in from the side and cut off the roots that were holding my legs.
Earth wall at the same time I also cause an explosion.
I tossed the tree with tangled roots up and fired an aurora beam at the creature that was attacking without any hesitation.
-Koo-gu-gu-gu-gung!
-Quarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
A roar coming from afar. Where Fargal is, the battle is in full swing.
There are even some guys ignoring us and running towards it.
The body is already covered with the creature’s blood and the tree’s sap.
When a dangerous situation unfolds in between…
[Druid Siray takes root!]
[Druid Tamerun takes root!]
[Druid Georgia takes root!]
Druid warriors give their lives It took time.
There was no time to delay.
A message visible above a swaying tree.
[Destruction index – 99/100]
The remaining score until destruction is confirmed is at most 1 point.
“I can see it! It’s a world tree!”
We could see the world tree dyed red.
