Stuck in The Tower
Chapter 35

Chapter 35 Skill Synthesis

A pillar of light appeared after winning the Orc Championship.

It wasn’t difficult to figure out its identity.

[Warrior’s Plaza]

– The dwelling place of Delkinos, the chief of the Orc tribe.

-This is a space that only those who have proven their qualifications can enter.

There was also information received through authority.

[Would you like to challenge the chieftain? (YES/NO)]

I was given a choice at the right timing.

It’s a really bad quest.

“You said you were going to fight until just now, are you going to challenge me?”

“Geugegege.”

Deokchun also frowns and sticks out his tongue.

The guy who stayed quiet during the fight is now taking sides.

I was a bit dumbfounded.

“On him?”

“No, good job. Deokchun is the best!”

I changed my mind when I saw him sticking his tongue out menacingly.

I was already tired, but I had no intention of arguing with Deokchun.

[Ten seconds left until the choice is decided.]

Maybe it’s because I didn’t make a choice.

A time limit was attached.

I was trying to recover my stamina while subtly delaying my choice.

Doesn’t this kind of trickery work?

“Challenge.”

I made a reluctant decision.

[Challenger’s privilege.]

[Health is restored.]

“Oh?”

There was a sudden surge of vitality.

It doesn’t seem very conscientious.

The mental fatigue is still there, but the body is light.

My mana had been filled, and the feeling of exhaustion was gone.

If you do that, things will change.

[Move to the warrior’s plaza.]

-Ugh!

With a notification, a group of lights engulfs me.

Similar feeling to moving to a portal.

Entrust your body to the flow of the system while feeling a little floating.

– Dig!

The view changed and we arrived at a huge vacant lot.

Is it correct to say that it is an empty space?

The floor is paved with flat stones, and numerous skulls of unknown creatures are scattered around it.

Primitive murals were painted on six rocks rising from the borders of the plaza.

“Whoa.”

A huge orc was sitting on a chair in front of the wall painting as a folding screen.

A body that makes one question whether it is an orc.

A sense of intimidation emanated from the size that could not be concealed even while sitting, and the 3-meter-long halberd leaning next to the chair was unusual to look at.

“Krrrr.”

A red light shines in the eyes of the guy who rests his chin on his face with a sad expression.

[Chief of the Orc Tribe]

-The boss monster on the 8th floor.

– Inexhaustible stamina! tight muscles! Why don’t we exercise together?

-Possessed Skill: Indomitable (A) Lv.4

Exercise is just a monster!

They even have skills. That rating alone was A.

It was higher than the Fire Bomb I had.

-Without time to scream into

the cooung, the chieftain stood up.

Bigger than the Treasure Goblin we saw on the 7th floor.

That’s almost 3 meters?

I don’t know. Apart from height, he is too big.

I added a bit of exaggeration to make it look like a square.

“Kuhuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”

[The chieftain’s roar!]

[Temporarily rigid!]

“What is this!”

Does your body stiffen just because you shouted a little?

It’s a while to get tired of speculation that doesn’t sound like words.

[The battle of the great tribes begins!]

The system announced the start of the battle.

* * *

He quickly grabs his halberd.

-Kooung!

just one step.

The guy who rushes at me just by kicking the floor.

It’s not a speed that can come out of that size.

Is this really the power of a 3-star?

“shit!”

This is not the time to be idle.

As soon as the stiffness was released, I threw myself away.

– The Quagga River!

The place I was in explodes with a terrifying sound of hitting.

The floor must have been made of stone, but it doesn’t seem to mean anything to him.

[Fire Bomb (B) Lv.3]

-Quaaaaang!

I fired an attack to increase the distance with him.

“Quhaaaaagh!”

The chieftain ran through the front.

Were there no blows? That’s not it.

Because his skin was scorched and burned.

It’s just jumping with ambition.

Literally a warrior.

In other words, crazy.

– Huung!

The one who approached recklessly swung the halberd long.

A weapon up to 3 meters long.

The attack range is quite long.

“Kheop!”

I ducked to the ground and dodged the attack.

No, only Halberd avoided it.

– Wow!

It was because I was hit by the kick that followed.

I don’t even have time to breathe.

Pain as if the intestines were turned inside out.

Eyes widen as if they are going to pop out.

“Kahak. Kheuheup!”

“Gweek! Whew!”

[Recovery (E)]

After flying for a long time and falling, I can breathe.

Deokchun licked it hard, but he showed no signs of calming down.

This is what it looks like with just one kick?

“driving me crazy.”

I barely stood up while drinking the potion in the pouch.

“Kurruk.”

The chieftain approaching leisurely.

Dangerous.

It’s on a different level from the guys I’ve fought so far.

can i win

A monster that can withstand the fire bomb that has been raised to Lv.3 with its body?

He’s a guy who can get a fatal blow with just one blow, right?

‘Calm down. I can survive because of my skills.’

Negative emotions came up, but I clenched my teeth and regained my spirit.

It’s true that he’s strong, but it’s not to the point where the battle itself can’t be established.

There is one reason why he is fine even after being hit by my attack.

[Indomitable (A) Lv.3]

-Ability is enhanced when critically injured.

because of that skill.

Firebomb was also hit on purpose.

to increase one’s abilities.

as proof.

“Quhaaaagh!”

“damn!”

– Quaang!

-bang!

The attack of the one who accelerated rapidly and attacked was a little bit, but it became more fierce.

If you haven’t awakened, you can never avoid an attack if you haven’t raised your stats with a starter kit.

[Sprinting (E) Lv.3]

I moved my body while using the skill.

The wind pressure felt every time the halberd moved.

To live sharply stabs the lungs and the sense of crisis that you may die makes your feet heavy.

But I didn’t stop.

‘There must be a way.’

Because it shouldn’t collapse on the 8th floor.

It was a matter of pride.

He continued to think while shouting and rolling his body.

‘No fire night.’

As long as he has the Indomitability skill, it has no meaning.

It will take damage, but it will also increase your stats.

It wouldn’t matter if it could kill you instantly, but it’s still not that powerful.

that it is

“Let’s go, Deokchun!”

“Aww!”

The only thing left to do is inflict minor wounds and dry it to death.

“Khwaaaak!”

I was just running away, but when I dug in, he swung his halberd even faster.

He is proficient with weapons on the subject of monsters.

Even though he stretched out like a stab, he changed direction using his innate strength.

– Kwaaang!

At the same time as retrieving the weapon, he even struck down.

There is almost no delay in motion, probably because of the infinite physical strength.

But I wasn’t just playing around.

[Smoke (F) Lv.2]

[Threat (E) Lv.2]

I created a slight gap while using the two skills alternately.

Orcs poking through the cracks.

“Wow!”

Deokchun spit out an acid saliva.

An attack aimed directly at the eyes.

While he was blocking it with his forearm, I used my skill.

[Buff Dice (C) Lv.1]

[3]

[Bleeding]

Nice. It worked just fine.

one more time here.

I tried to roll the buff dice.

[Can be used after the buff ends.]

[9:59 until the buff ends]

It seemed like it couldn’t be stacked.

I’m sorry, but I have no choice but to proceed like this.

The duration of the buff is 10 minutes.

It should produce meaningful results within it.

Buff dice have a random effect. You never know when it will have the same effect.

so.

“It has to be done in 10 minutes!”

I drew my sword.

The target is his legs.

In strength, it is pushed. In the first place, the weight class is at a level that makes no sense.

So aim for mobility.

At least, if you have an advantage in speed, you have a chance to win.

-Suddenly!

Its thick muscles crack and blood flows.

Considering its size, it was an insignificant blow.

[Bleeding]

“Krurreuk?”

Blood was constantly pouring out of the wound, which was no different from a cut.

shit. The corners of the mouth go up.

No matter how strengthened it is, as long as it is a creature, it will collapse if it lacks blood.

It doesn’t matter if the wound is shallow.

Cause as much bleeding as possible before the buff ends.

that’s the only way i can win

“Khaaaaa!”

The guy also stretched out his fist abruptly as if he thought it was dangerous.

A fist bigger than my head.

It is loaded with the weight of a guy who could easily weigh hundreds of kilograms.

Power enough to crush people at once.

It was an attack that even I could not escape.

[Heavy Bracelet (C)]

-You can use magic to increase weight.

[Brooch of Seething Power (B)]

– Once a day, you can double your status for 10 minutes. (Can only be used up to the 20th floor.)

I have an artifact I took from Oh Ji-hyeok.

A sudden increase in weight.

Stats pumped twice.

only 10 minutes. I was a monster like him.

“Aaaaaaa!”

He swung his sword like crazy.

To make as many wounds as possible in a limited time.

[Bleeding!]

[Bleeding!]

[Bleeding!]

[Bleeding!]

“Oohhh!”

He cries out in pain for the first time.

battered body. The blood flowed down without stopping and covered the body.

Completely immersed in it, I drew a line on the guy’s body.

just one more!

It was just that thought in my head.

[5:32 until the buff ends]

Avoid the halberd, and use your body to defend against fists coming from the blind spot.

I feel like my body is about to collapse.

No matter how much weight you raise with artifacts, no matter how much your stats increase, the basic background is the same.

Could it be that the bones are cracked? My body ached and I felt indescribable pain.

If it wasn’t for Deokchun, he might have collapsed long ago.

[4:12 until buff ends]

The damn thing is still strong.

Despite the appearance of being exhausted from shedding blood.

Anxiety creeped in.

Will this be enough?

Can you really beat him?

There are only a few puddles of blood that have already been spilled.

What if my strategy is wrong?

[3:46 until the buff ends]

It’s clear that the damned indomitable bleeding was recognized as a fatal wound.

The movement itself was sluggish, but the power inside was stronger than before.

Is it because he has a lot of blood because he is big?

aww He gritted his teeth, but the situation did not change.

Little by little, I felt that my stamina was approaching its limit.

My arms trembled and my knees swayed as if they were about to break.

[1:28 until buff ends]

It’s clear now.

It’s not just bleeding.

A more powerful shot. don’t need that

fire night. Wouldn’t it be possible if I somehow made a gap and fed the right hit?

Because he’s not in a normal state either.

But how?

Even the sword he was holding in his hand was so heavy, would it be possible to pierce his defense?

“Aaaaaaa!”

He swung his sword while using a pickaxe.

please. Waiting for him to fall first.

[0:30 until buff ends]

30 seconds remaining.

Deokchun was also licking me as hard as he could, but that was over soon.

The time the buff ends, the bleeding will stop, and the doubled stats will return.

The result was obvious.

death.

Before that, we need to create a variable.

only once. If I could break through its defenses and get inside, I’d have an answer!

‘There must be a way!’

It’s not hope. It’s confidence.

obviously obviously.

something I didn’t write.

“ah.”

My head flashed.

momentary loss of power.

-Tae Ae-aeng!

The longsword collided with the halberd and slipped out of my hand.

“Haaaaaagh!”

The high chieftain, covered in blood, raised his halberd.

Was it unfair that I had suffered so far?

His spirit was brutal, but it didn’t catch my eye.

there is.

A variable that still remains with me.

[Skill Synthesis (S)]

-Combinable list:

[Fire Bomb (B) Lv.3]

[Buff Dice (C) Lv.1]

[Sprint (E) Lv.3]

[Intimidate (E) Lv.2]

[Night Vision (E) Lv. 1]

[Smoke (F) Lv. 2]

The power I got while awakening.

As soon as I opened the skill synthesis, another power was displayed.

– A group

of lights that flicker for every pass skill.

The colors and shapes were diverse, but the two skills had a particularly strong light.

– Whoa!

The moment the halberd fell on my head.

I combined the two skills as if possessed.

[Skill Synthesis (S)]

-Combine [Sprint (E) Lv.3] and [Smoke (F) Lv.2]!

-Koo-gu-gu-gung!

The halberd split the earth.
