Stuck in The Tower

Chapter 121 Entering the Empty Area

I lowered my sword towards the curtain that held the water.

Could it be because of the authority given by Alios? The track was neat and I was able to split the curtain coolly.

successive here.

-Chack!

– Chiyiik!

Let’s fire two consecutive strikes.

[The veil is torn!]

The tattered veil lost its function, and the water filling the aisle poured out all at once.

You shouldn’t be swept away like this. It’s a specification to tear this way and that way.

kicked the foot Aim for the ceiling.

I held on to the corner of the ceiling with my arms and legs outstretched. I gave strength to my arms and legs. Although I was able to withstand it somehow with great power.

-Is it

the limit of friction? Little by little the body started to go down.

Not now. If you fall and get swept away, there is no point in breaking the veil.

I’ll get along with the monsters and float away.

Is there no way to do something like this!

-Chao!

“That’s it.”

The moment he was about to fall, Deokchun threw his tongue toward the ceiling.

The sticky tongue supports the sliding body.

Also a spirit! awesome! proud!

At my cheers, Deokchun raises his thumb.

below us.

“Kaaaaagh!”

“Kahak!”

The first waterpik to get out of the room was clenching its ferocious teeth.

The same goes for ironclad octopus. I tried to hold on somehow, but I blocked the entrance to the passage with tentacles.

“Oohhh!”

The excited Waterpik didn’t care about the teeth coming out and failed to bite.

The guys who flow along the waterway in a friendly way.

Soon the pouring water stopped for a while.

– Flip flops!

-Fall over!

Marine monsters were lined up on the wet ground.

No matter how powerful a monster is, a fish is a fish. There is no way you can breathe on the ground.

-I descended from the percussion

ceiling and looked around.

Waterpik is already incapable of combat. I was safe except for being bitten when I went near it, and the sturgeon octopus that was holding out crawled towards me like it was angry.

The gears have arrived.

“Moore!”

– Kwajik!

– Hard!

As the water picks spread like land mines began to bite, they fought to the death.

It’s good. You guys fight well.

I turned my head, thinking that this might be a piece of shit.

These guys will die if left alone. At most, it should last about 10 minutes.

I am not interested in these guys.

“Hydra shell.”

4 star sea monster.

I am much stronger than before.

You can hunt 3-stars without difficulty, and you can deal with 4-stars if you are careful.

I’m not sure about 5 stars yet.

Can you deal with the fire dragon? well. It is difficult to predict easily.

anyway.

“He’s a 4-star, but rumor has it that he’s tricky enough to be compared to a 5-star.”

There is a reason why Deokchun said no to him.

The shell of the hydra shell has tremendous strength and has strong resistance to acid and poison.

Deokchun’s main attack method is to spit acid or poison. The compatibility is not good.

However, it seems to be a bit difficult to break that shell with physical force.

“Let’s try it.”

I moved my feet carefully.

The guy who is still standing still without a slight movement.

Perhaps because the body is heavy, it keeps its place even after the water has drained.

Maybe it’s because I didn’t enter his territory, so I didn’t show any aggression.

sunken aisle floor. There is a line dividing the area.

I saw that the wish pick and sturgeon octopus didn’t approach.

approximately 15 meters.

“Grug.”

The hydra shell sounded a warning, perhaps conscious of the day approaching the realm.

A 4-star will have a vitality that cannot be compared to a 3-star.

I have no intention of waiting until I die.

– Dig!

ran forward

At the same time, the hydra shell opens its mouth.

The nine tentacles protruded from the gigantic mouth stretched at an abnormal speed.

-Shyyiik!

– Chow!

Are they tentacles? I can’t even guess where it will bend.

It is also noteworthy that there are nine of them.

There is no answer simply by following with the eyes.

Let’s focus on the five senses.

The sound of its tentacles snapping, the subtle vibrations of the wind tearing, and…

“It smells fishy, son of a bitch!”

Distinct fishy smell unique to marine monsters.

I flew the sword to the right without looking.

-Chwaaaaagh!

“Everyone!”

The half-severed tentacle rolls around the tail and falls back.

Have you failed to cut it completely? It seems to have slipped slightly due to bodily fluids wrapping around its tentacles.

That’s annoying.

It moved forward, bouncing tentacles flying from different angles.

The closer you get, the faster the tentacles move.

Not only is it cleverly aiming for blind spots to see if it’s not a 4-star monster for nothing, but it’s even attacking multiple parts at the same time to make it difficult to counterattack.

– Kwaaaaang!

I knocked out what I could, and blocked what was in the middle by bursting firebombs.

You can see the rapidly shrunken tentacles hardening.

Is it because the bodily fluids are dry? This is an opportunity.

-Suddenly!

A different cutting sound than before.

It felt like slicing through a well-cooked chunk of meat, and three tentacles were severed in one blow.

Six tentacles left!

-Paaang!

Running in a zigzag, I induced him to stretch out his tentacles.

Attack along the path you like. It’s like a simple clam.

It was threatening by itself, but…

-Smoke rises from the part where the bodily fluids splashed in the middle of

Chiiik came in contact.

Strong acid and toxic. A few drops entered through the gaps in the armor and rubbed against the flesh.

It was hard to feel his flesh melting with his sober mind, but he gritted his teeth and endured.

[Rigid body (C) Lv.9]

[Physical attack resistance (D) Lv.3]

[Poison resistance (D) Lv.3]

If it wasn’t for the passive skill that protects the body, I would have been rolling on the floor.

It is worthwhile to continue training with Deokchun. Thanks to repeating it until just before entering the labyrinth, the level rose little by little…

I aimed for this time and fired the fire bomb again.

Along with cutting off two ripe tentacles, I was able to reach the front of the hydra shell.

The durability of tentacles is not very good. Bodily fluids are dangerous.

Then inside too.

“If you give it a direct hit, you can catch it!”

He stabbed his sword and caused an explosion.

-Kwaaaang!

Smoke rises with the heat.

Did you eat it right? It doesn’t taste very good for something like that.

“Gag gag.”

The aftermath of the explosion had dissipated and the figure of the bastard was revealed.

The hydra shell closed its mouth for an instant.

To give up the tentacles and block the attack.

The shell closes and the severed tentacles flutter.

It is natural for bodily fluids to splatter everywhere.

He crumpled his face and pulled himself back.

-Seueuu

The guy who opened his mouth again seemed to feel that I was stepping back.

All of the tentacles that were severed regenerated.

Inside glistening with sticky bodily fluids.

Its shell is hard enough to withstand fire bombs, and its tentacles regenerate endlessly.

It is a monster that consumes a lot of time in many ways. That’s why the hunters must have stuck out their tongues saying that it was difficult to deal with.

“It’s very tenacious.”

I still have a long way to go, but I don’t want to be caught by this guy.

I’ve been staring at the hydra shell.

“aha.”

A good idea came to my mind.

* * *

Before the cataclysm, I had been to the sea with my parents.

At that time, there were no monsters or anything, so there were plenty of vacationers and shops and vendors targeting tourists.

My family also ate at a restaurant near the beach to commemorate coming to the sea, and the menu was…

“It was grilled clams.”

“The ark.”

-Restly,

“That’s it! He each!”

I continued to throw fire and fire bombs at the hydra shell that stood still without budging.

There was still no trace of the hard shell, but I couldn’t stop the fever from rising.

– Chiiyiik!

The red-hot shell was cooked to the soft inside.

and. kills the smell

Even knowing that it was a monster, my mouth watered.

If it wasn’t for the poison, I would have had a hearty meal. Isn’t that right, Deokchun?

“To the ark?”

Oh, did you originally live in the tower?

Even if I can’t eat, Deokchun can eat.

naughty guy. I can eat grilled clams, too.

I stopped Deokchun, who seemed to be running at any moment.

“Let’s eat a little later. not yet ripe A clam has to open its mouth wide.”

Isn’t that the magic?

I worked hard and added more firepower.

“Ugh. That’s it!”

The hydra shell screamed and opened its mouth.

rising steam.

Properly ripe flesh reveals its white appearance.

Hunting points coming in at the same time.

the guy is dead however.

“What is that.”

There was something inside the open hydra shell.

Platinum-colored crystals.

“pearl?”

[Hydra Shell Pearl (A)]

– A rare Hydra Shell Pearl.

– It is a popular jewel among lovers for its unique brilliance.

– Contains the energy of the Hydra Shell.

– In itself, it is a powerful antidote.

I took the pearl and put it in the treasure bag.

It’s an A-grade item.

The uses are also diverse. It could be sold as jewelry or used as an antidote.

I have the resistance skill, so I don’t really need it, but did you know? Will there be something to write about later?

The loot was taken.

“You can eat it, Deokchun.”

“Quack!”

I chined Deokchun.

A guy who runs fast. The size of the Hydra Shell is so large that it won’t be lacking.

Then, would you like to have a meal with me too?

I opened the treasure bag and took out the food. pretty dapper Just enough to eat.

On the other hand, Deokchun was preying on what he wanted at this time.

“…uh?”

An alarm floated above Deokchun.

[Ingested Hydra Shell.]

[Attributes are strengthened.]

[New attributes are created.]

Changes in attributes!

It was the same when he took the failed potion with Baek-hwan before.

Deokchun seems to be able to upgrade through intake.

I called up his information.

[Deokchun (Chaos Frog-D)]

-Attribute: Acid (B) Recovery (B) Poison (C) Flame (C) Outer Armor (B

) ….! It’s a bitch.

– Confused.

It was found that the overall attribute grade had risen.

Deokchun’s own rating has also risen. I think it used to say Class E next to the Chaos Frog.

It’s more foreign than that.

“Did that shell come in as a characteristic?”

I looked at the hydra shell. A shell that even held up to firebomb.

As far as defense is concerned, it is excellent. I don’t know, but it won’t break unless it’s fully charged.

There were many dangers in this labyrinth, but there seemed to be a lot to be gained.

Not only for me, but also for Deokchun.

Although Deokchun is strong, most of his traits are biased towards attack. There is recovery, but it has a strong secondary feeling.

It’s good to have a defensive trait as well.

I have some passive skills, so the situation is better at least…

“Geez. Whew.”

Deokchun looked at me and raised his thumb as if he had finished eating.

All that lean meat was gone. It was completely emptied.

After all, Youngmul-nim doesn’t complain about side dishes.

I put the heavy one on my shoulder and took the hydra shell shell.

You can sell this for a pretty good price. If necessary, it can be used as a material for making armor.

Giving pearls, meat, and even shells. I expressed my condolences to the clams that were generously given and moved on.

From this point forward, you will not be able to get help from the treasure map.

blank area.

Where maybe the treasure is hidden.

My heart races at the same time I am nervous.

“Just wait. I’m coming.”
