Stuck in The Tower - Chapter 72
Chapter 72 Agent of Purification The leader
of the Guardians. I ran and ran toward the agent of purification.
It wasn’t easy. Ignoring other attacks, there were also those who aimed at me and attacked me. The Guardian’s huge body was a great obstacle in itself.
When alive, the fire-breathing holy weapon becomes a barricade of dirt when dead.
The same goes for the corpses of allied undead.
Nevertheless, it breaks through the dangerous section with the control of the Skeleton Knight, which has risen to the top.
The agent of purification is getting closer.
Did you understand our intentions? The guardians’ pursuit becomes relentless.
“Crack. each.”
The Skeleton Knight looked at me and cracked his mouth.
Of course, I didn’t understand a single thing, but I could figure out the intention itself.
“Go alone from here, right?”
“Kakakak.”
Guy nodding his head.
I thought it was going to be like that sooner or later.
The terrain is rough. The land dug by the Guardians was not suitable for a horse to run.
The Guardians who are excitedly running to catch us right behind us are also concerned.
-Tadak
jumped off the horse, the Skeleton Knight raised his sword high and turned the reins.
Are you planning to play the role until the end?
As if performing an aerobatic flight, it runs through the gap between the guardians.
The Guardian’s body is torn apart every time the Skeleton Knight’s sword is swung.
Those attracted by aggro change direction and run away.
“If the board was prepared to this extent, then we should do it properly, right?”
“That’s right.”
I ran forward.
The agent of purification is looking down at me with a huge hammer slung over his shoulder.
I received the blessing of the Creature Priest, but the heat is great.
Isn’t it a weapon made in the fire temple for nothing?
It would be difficult to even get close to the culprit.
“I’m not you son of a bitch.”
I am already raising my fire resistance level while climbing the 10th floor.
You should see it go up even if you just breathe.
Even now.
[Skill level up!]
[Fire Resistance (E) Lv.9]
You have reached Lv.9 before you know it. Apparently, the higher the heat, the faster the level rises.
Thanks to that, the activity itself was not a problem.
I don’t know if the fight will continue.
In the first place, I had no intention of prolonging the battle.
– Dig!
I added a timing speed that reduced the distance to him to 100 meters.
The weight class is incomparable.
In order to fight on an equal footing with the agent of purification, he had to move faster and more.
-Permeability and exaggeration!
Sure enough, he swung his warhammer.
An approaching blow that shattered the floor.
I was dumbfounded even when I saw it from a distance, but I’m speechless when it comes to being directly affected.
What if the land turns over and creates waves?
“Great!”
It is impossible to dodge by simply running.
[Fire Bomb (B) Lv. 8]
I set off an explosion on the floor and flew forward as if bouncing with the recoil.
The explosion was intense, probably because the level went up one notch while fighting.
My back was tingling, but I was able to endure it thanks to the elixir.
“Let’s check if the attack works.”
I fell to his feet and cut my sword.
Intensified cold air by infusing plenty of mana.
The heat subsided in an instant, the frost settled in, and the sword pierced his knee joint.
-Push Yii Profit!
Steam came out like an explosion.
Frost that instantly turned into water and evaporated.
If exposed to the hot steam, it would have suffered severe burns.
Is this a defense system in itself?
“It’s unnecessarily difficult. Whoops!”
– Kwaaaaang!
The guy who lifted the stabbed leg and slammed it down, as if it didn’t hurt.
The ground shakes with how heavy it is.
It might be slowing down at that momentum, but I’ve already fought a large species that was much bigger, so I didn’t get psychologically upset.
Compared to Hwagapryong, this guy is a hot tin robot.
“We’re going into a durability test.”
“Gah. Wow!”
Spinning round and round around his legs, aiming for his joints.
Whether or not water vapor is emitted. I don’t intend to stay in one place for more than one second anyway.
When Deokchun’s saliva entered the gap I created, his body quickly began to corrode.
When joints are stiff, mobility is reduced.
What if you use the frost flame sword to instantly freeze it?
– What a bummer!
“It’s in perfect condition to break!”
At the same time as cutting the knee with accumulated damage, he fired a fire bomb.
once?
That’s not enough. I set off a series of explosions with the intention of destroying them altogether.
-Quaguaguagwang!
Bombardment that sweeps the entire range, both inside and outside.
It was a blow that his joints, which were already stiff, could not withstand.
“Ooooooh!”
The guy collapsed with a grotesque cry.
A leg that fell off as if it was torn in half.
Now is your chance.
[The S-class power star-watching eyes are activated!]
The agent of purification is also a golem-type guardian.
There must be a nuke somewhere.
–
No matter how long it had been cut off, molten metal flowed out from inside it and began to repair the broken leg.
As it is a golem type, I expected it to have a self-healing function, but it is faster than I thought.
Now that this has happened, we need to find and destroy the nuke as quickly as possible.
“Where are you? Where is the nuke hidden!”
He showed his power by jumping over the struggling guy.
head torso shoulders arms pelvis legs.
As time passed, his eyes trembled.
Incredible results.
“doesn’t exist?”
He had no nucleus.
No, then where does the energy come from?
It wouldn’t normally take a lot of energy to move a piece of metal that big.
Golems have a core for a reason.
no way.
I swallowed and looked again.
“Is that itself a nucleus?”
A faintly radiant light.
I narrowed my eyebrows. Unbelievable, but that seemed to be the answer.
[Agent of Purification]
– Holy weapon of the Church of Fire.
– It was created by forging the divine power of Petorodon, the god of fire.
– It does not stop purifying until the sacred power of the hot molten metal flowing inside the body runs out.
If you’re going to let me know, let me know soon.
no. It’s a 4-star object, but it’s appalling that this much information is popping up.
“Somehow it was too easy.”
Looking at the abilities he’s shown so far, it’s hard to believe he’s a 4-star.
Even when I fought Dalkan, I struggled more than now.
Of course, I should have expected that there would be something to fill the gap.
In a case like this guy.
“Strong divine power and fire. A fraudulent mob that regenerates without nuclear weapons.”
It is said that even a troll that doesn’t fall out when regenerated will die if its head is cut off, but this guy doesn’t think that’s the case.
molten iron constantly flowing.
It wasn’t just the torso.
-Koo-goo-gu-guk
-G-G-G-G-G-G A small but identical golem was created next to the one whose legs were regenerated
.
Regenerate the fallen leg and become another guardian?
What are they called planarians?
Now, there are two representatives of purification that I have to deal with.
Let’s just say the big guy and the little guy.
– Kwaaang!
-Quguaguawang!
The big one and the little one swung their hammers at the same time.
A cleverly penetrating attack.
As if crawling on the floor, he let out an attack and ran sideways.
Blow the firebomb and freeze with the frost flame sword. Repeat.
I somehow made a gap and avoided my attack.
“Cheukhak!”
In the end, the blow was allowed.
A hammer that strikes the side.
It was a shock that felt like my arm would be crushed.
If it was a normal person, it would have been minced meat.
“Lick!”
Deokchun eagerly licks my neck.
The recovery effect was applied and the pain subsided.
Dangerous. Looking at a single object alone, it is not at the level of a 4-star, but infinite regeneration is possible until the molten iron flowing inside the body runs out. If the body is severed, it can even multiply.
Picky. It’s impossible to just hit and break. I don’t know how long I’ll have to do that until the function stops.
‘No matter how I win, the village will be annihilated.’
Hidden Quest’s request is to protect the village.
It’s not going to be solved simply by catching this guy.
In the best case, the undead legions slay all remaining guardians and come to my aid.
It seems virtually impossible.
“Ooooh!”
Are you saying you won’t give me time to think about things?
The big one pounced on me.
The guy who came in with his arms wide open as if hugging him.
It’s not threatening, but there’s little space to dodge.
The moment when you have no choice but to avoid a seat far away.
-thud! thud! thud! thud!
“Don’t stand there! shit.”
The little guy ran towards the village.
I was careless. no i couldn’t
What do we do? They are still outnumbered, but if that guy joins them, will the undead be able to hold on?
At first glance, even the Creature Priest joined in to block it, but it didn’t seem like it would last very long.
I glared at the agent of purification.
‘Cutting him to pieces is not the answer. I have to get rid of the divine power itself.’
But how? Is there any way to get rid of the divine power?
Magi using demon species? There is a saying that magic and divine power are at odds, but I don’t have any skills or items related to magic.
– Chiiyiik!
I swung my sword at the guy who was making a series of attacks.
To the point of not being split. I will continue to focus on making small wounds.
The molten iron flowing through his body is divine power.
It has the heat of a sacred weapon made by the Church of Fire.
“then?”
A sudden thought.
fire god. spirit of fire. hot divine power.
Conversely, what if it cools down?
Let’s experiment.
“Let’s go one more time, Deokchun. This time in small pieces.”
“To the ark.”
[Buff Dice]
[3]
[Concentration]
Buff concentration created by turning the buff dice.
I felt the flow of movement magic power in my body’s movement field of view becoming clearer.
The illusion that time has slowed down.
The trail of the hammer struck by the agent of purification was clearly visible.
– Kwaaaaang!
I was able to dodge the attack much easier than before.
He turned to the side and stabbed his sword.
The target this time was his feet.
The hard outer shell crumples and molten iron spurts out.
The steam that comes out with it.
“That’s it!”
The skin would have been cooked if they touched it directly, but the steam evaporated from Deokchun’s fire and disappeared.
Nice Deokchun. It is also a spirit.
– Wow!
I blew magic power into the sword that went inside him.
The temperature drops in an instant. Cold air that hardened even molten iron poured out.
“Ooooooooh!”
The agent of purification let out a cry of pain.
It definitely works.
– Kwajik!
When you step on the toes of the frozen guy, he falls apart.
The part attached to the body melted the ice quickly, but the part that came off did not move.
[Some of the agents of purification stop moving.]
“Enough!”
The system has declared an inactivity.
now i get it Why did the Creature Priest give the blessing?
It wasn’t just about getting out of the heat.
I bet you to get rid of this goddamn piece of scrap metal.
A strategy that would be impossible if I didn’t have the Frost Flame Sword.
It was clear that at some point the agent of purification would also stop if he gnawed at it little by little.
I hacked him faster.
Blood-red molten iron flows down, and Deokchun spit and corrodes it.
The finale was to shove the sword into the gaping joint and explode the cold air.
A series of repetitive but never easy actions.
The moment he was about to become sluggish with chunks of ice stuck all over his body.
-Chwiyiyiig!
The agent of purification began to rapidly heat up.
Steam billowing like crazy through the cracks.
His body shrunk.
[The agent of purification changes to a combat type.]
“What?”
– Quaang! bang! Wow!
He swung the hammer at an incomparable speed.
It’s so fast that even reacting is difficult.
I managed to take a defensive stance, but I was pushed out by the power and fell.
I choke on my breath at the dull spreading pain.
battle mode? So what was it until now?
“profit!”
He threw himself before he could even think.
The guy came running.
Warhammer lifting.
Can I avoid it? My posture is too bad for that.
let’s stop
Making a quick decision, I held out my sword.
It didn’t make sense to block a hammer with a sword, but it would be better than getting hit with your bare body.
– Kkaddeudeuk!
Fortunately, the sword was good, so it didn’t break.
“I think I might break my wrist!”
Its strength and weight are so high that it is difficult to receive it.
Did your mobility improve as your size decreased? The guy who retrieved the Warhammer turns to the side.
It’s a chance.
– Dig!
As soon as there was a gap, it popped up.
A firebomb that exploded without aiming.
Then Digg.
“Ooooh?”
His leg fell into a pit.
The moment I leaned down to avoid falling, I pushed my sword in.
The target is the shoulder.
The resistance was tremendous, perhaps because the density had increased, but I gained momentum with the fire bomb and pierced it through gears.
– I
blew cold air into it and froze it.
-Push shush!
It melted before I could do anything.
Is stopping for a moment the limit?
As the battle mode changed, the heat seemed to intensify.
then what should i do
The time when I gritted my teeth as I was pushed back by the one who counterattacked again.
[S-class power skill synthesis is activated.]
A welcome alarm sounded.
