Stuck in The Tower
Chapter 54

The business on the 11th floor is over when all of the

firearm dragon viper skins are collected.

straight up. I broke through the 12th floor.

It’s good to save time as much as possible.

My goal is to solve Rilka’s quest before the arena event takes place.

To do that, you have to cross a huge mountain.

The reason why Rilka’s quest is famous for being hit by Goeral.

The reason why all challengers were bound to fail.

“I need to pull out the scales of the fire dragon.”

It won’t be easy. Because Hwagapryong is a 5-star monster.

Even if I die now and wake up, I can’t win.

Is it really a quest made to break this?

Rilka, next time I see him, I’ll have to feed him chestnuts.

-Huuuuuu

It’s been awhile since I’ve been determined to take revenge.

A feverish wind blew as if to erase one’s thoughts.

hot heat. Previously, it would have been suffocating.

[Fire Resistant (E) Lv. 2]

Thanks to acquiring this skill, I was able to tolerate it.

“Geeee.”

“Is it hot? Deokchun.”

Deokchun, who did not have a resistance skill, did not have this.

Fortunately, it has flames among its characteristics, so it is enduring.

Since you can turn yourself into a fireball, you must be able to endure the heat.

However, since he was born as a frog, he seems tired.

Let’s see.

“A shop window.”

[I bought a bucket.]

[I bought ice.]

An ordinary bucket and ice.

[Water (F) Lv.3]

In addition, with one water skill, you can make great ice water.

It’s good to drink it like this.

“Go in, Deokchun. It’s a pool!”

“Ahhhh!”

-with a plop!

For now, Deokchun will become a private pool.

I wonder if the frog can go into the ice water, but Deokchun is a spirit creature, so it should be fine.

The reaction is also good.

“That’s right.”

It must have been so hot that only her head was sticking out and she was immersing her whole body in ice water.

The look of living now. The wiggling toes are adorable.

“The frog is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one.”

Do you think you met the owner well, Deokchun?

I tapped Deokchun’s nose.

“Gweek.”

Deokchun gave a thumbs up as if he was satisfied.

food. After laughing, I also took out a bottle of water and drank it.

“It ended sooner than I thought.”

Breaking the 11th floor wasn’t difficult.

Likewise, it was easy to satisfy the minimum attack conditions on the 12th floor.

[Kill Mud Golem (32/30)]

[Kill Bomb Lizard (34/30)]

[Clear 12th floor]

[A portal will be created.]

You just need to prove your qualifications by catching a certain number of monsters.

As a result of checking with authority, it was a floor with no hidden pieces.

A place where you can focus only on hunting.

Thanks to that, clearing the 12th floor was quick.

It’s not a good look for the barrel that moved radically… but

the blood and flesh of the monsters are all over the armor.

The same goes for longswords.

“Whoa. Naughty bastards.”

-Chiiik

lightly swings his sword, and a piece of meat touches the hot ground, making the sound of grilling meat.

Definitely not a place for people to live. Will the monster barely survive?

Other than that, I’m fine too.

There were no injuries while hunting, and his condition was not bad. Enough to go straight like this.

I wet my hair with the water skill for the last time.

“Let’s go right up to the 13th floor.”

“Ahhhh.”

entered the portal.

distorted vision.

A feeling of walking through the air passes through my body.

I took a deep breath and set my senses.

The 13th floor won’t be easy.

-Paaaaaa!

My eyesight opened and a new environment welcomed me.

[Entering the 13th floor.]

Opening on a different level than before.

“This time it’s a volcanic area.”

It is also an active volcanic area where lava boils.

Volcanic ash landed everywhere and the sky was so hazy that even the sun could not be seen.

It’s a bonus that it smells like coppery yet pleasant sulfur.

Is that all?

“Khehehehe!”

Until the monster hiding between the rocks pops out.

-I kicked

a stone scorpion sticking out its tail.

At most, a 1-star guy was no match for me.

“I’ve seen it in the community, but it’s real.”

Looking at the notification that floated in the air, he spat out a bitter smile.

13th floor. volcanic area. Clear conditions here were neither hunting nor searching for portals.

[13th floor]

[Survive. (Time remaining – 07:59)]

Survival. That was it.

A portal will be created automatically if you remain alive for 8 hours.

I wiped the sweat from my forehead.

The heat of the map itself was enormous, but it wasn’t that it was difficult to survive simply because of the heat.

– The lava that

rises intermittently and the monsters that pop out from everywhere.

A slight misstep will take you directly to Lava Park.

It was difficult to survive in this environment alone, but the great tower gave them even greater trials.

– A roar

from afar.

The murderousness and ferocity contained in it aroused fear just by hearing it.

“Firearm Dragon.”

[Fire Armored Dragon] –

A 5-star Elder Dragon monster.

-There are system limitations.

– Avoid.

Because he appears on the 13th floor.

The size that can be seen even at a distance.

The earth trembled with every step, and the scales that glowed red and the bumps running up its spine seemed to express its ferocity.

A monster with a huge head, sharp teeth, and especially well-developed hind legs.

“The ancient dragon tribe.”

Among monsters, dragons are famous for being dangerous.

If there is a drake at 4-star, there is an elder dragon at 5-star.

In a word, it is a top class.

Originally, it was a monster that could never be encountered on the 10th floor.

-Kurrrrrrr

-Quaaang!

The rocks that hit his body shattered and shattered.

He’s a disaster even just physically.

I hid myself.

I need that scale for Rilka’s quest.

In fact, even before I went up to the 13th floor, I wondered what would happen, but when I faced the real thing, my heart went into it.

“How can you mess with a guy like that, crazy?”

If I don’t lie and fight head-on, I’m confident I’ll die within a minute.

In the first place, that guy wasn’t made to be caught.

The condition to clear the 13th floor is to survive.

Naturally, people made hideouts and took advantage of the Jonber meta.

As long as you clean up your surroundings properly, you won’t get hit by monsters or fall into lava.

some kind of trick.

Could TOP just watch that?

‘Do you have the chin to do that?’

It forces people to keep moving.

Run away from that guy.

24 hours of spectacle hide and seek in lava and monster crevices.

It’s kind of a battle of concentration. Survive in extreme situations and stress.

In the midst of the stifling heat.

That’s why there is a firearm dragon on the 13th floor.

-Quoooooo!

Still, I don’t run, and I don’t breathe, whether I have a conscience.

Well, if that were the case, no one would have passed the 13th floor.

After all, it’s all about running around briskly and stomping to death or hitting someone with its tail if it catches its eye.

“Because he’s big, he’s fast even if he just walks.”

I stuck out my tongue.

Ah, she turned around.

damn dragon. Why are you coming here and making a fuss?

“Kihehehehehe!”

“Kahak!”

Two unlucky monsters were revealed and died.

Those who turned to blood simply because they were on the path of movement.

Is it different from country?

Even with restrictions, it is impossible to withstand the attack of a 5-star monster.

but i don’t know again

Is our strong and handsome Deokchun different?

He is a spiritual being higher in rank than I am.

“Deokchun, can you catch him? Tear off one scale. Because I really need it.”

“Frogs? croak croak.”

– Deokchun

makes a naive cry, saying that he is a frog that knows nothing, and then dives into the water.

Pretend to be a frog only at times like this.

It doesn’t look like it’s a spiritual creature or not.

Take a foot bath in ice water.

‘If the goal was to simply clear it, I would just use what Lee Jun-seok told me.’

Unfortunately, I was aiming for the Hwagapryong.

There is no difference.

All you have to do is jump in first.

It’s not something you can do just by staring at it.

gulp.

i swallowed

“Let’s go, Deokchun.”

“Ugh. to the ark.”

I took Deokchun out of the bucket.

It was clear that he didn’t want to go, but what could he do?

It’s where the owner goes.

-Ku-gu-gu-gu-gung

Fortunately, the fire dragon changed its direction.

Now is your chance.

slowly and unnoticed. I approached him so as not to provoke him as much as possible.

Hiding in a rock, leaning against a crack in the stone, and hiding behind a burnt wooden pole, he moved little by little but surely.

‘Now about 50 meters.’

The distance with him is getting closer.

Despite the system constraints, the power is amazing.

It’s hard to even get close to it without going crazy.

I thought that I had been fighting fiercely until now, but if I set that guy as a standard, it all feels like a joke.

30 meters now.

I can feel the heat radiating from his body.

Scales that are deeply embedded.

It is doubtful whether the sword will actually stick.

From 5-star, it’s a monster on a different level.

can i do it

You should be able to.

20 meters.

You can see his muscles now.

Even though it is covered with scales, you can feel its developed muscles wriggling.

The vertically slit pupils contain the savagery and murderousness of the top predator.

Feeling of pressure even when you are still.

To live stabbing the whole body.

I struggled to move forward little by little.

10 meters.

If he wanted to, he approached the distance where he could attack at any time.

Any further approach is dangerous.

No matter how restricted by the system, the Firearms Dragon is a 5-star monster.

That you can notice my presence.

We must remain silent until the opportunity presents itself.

I quietly started observing him.

“Kurrrrrrr.”

oh god What is that.

You can see unimaginable sights.

Is this a 5-star monster? Or is it because he’s the one who breathes out?

The hunched over guy stuck his nose into the lava and drank.

What the hell is your stomach doing?

I don’t know. It’s good.

Now, with his limited vision, this was a golden opportunity.

Whoa.

take a deep breath

‘Goes!’

Grabbing my longsword, I charged forward.

Opportunity comes only once. The moment the ambush fails, he will kill you.

You have to do your best.

– Kwakwang!

He kicked his feet vigorously.

very fast pace.

“Cre?”

At the sound of footsteps, I reached his hind legs before the Firearms could even raise his head.

[Buff Dice (C) Lv.4]

[2]

[Speed Up]

buff at the same time.

[Brooch of Seething Power (B)]

[Heavy Bracelet (C)]

Activated my artifact.

[Fire Bomb (B) Lv.5]

-Ahhh!

Creates an explosion under your feet, increasing momentum.

Using increased stats and weighted weights.

It flew explosively toward his heel.

A speed that is difficult to control even by yourself.

I fixed the sword as close to my body as possible.

before colliding with him.

[Fire Bomb (B) Lv.5]

[Fire Bomb (B) Lv.5]

[Skill level up!]

[Fire Bomb (B) Lv.6]

.

.

.

Firebomb was activated up to the maximum number of explosions at once.

A skill level that rises with good timing.

Following that, an outstretched sword.

-Quaaaaaaang!

The sword and the scales collided with a huge explosion.

-Pud de deudeuk!

The bones that couldn’t overcome the shock made an uneasy sound.

A tingling pain all over the body.

-Changgang!

I felt that the sword that had not overcome the subordinate was broken.

It is difficult to see even an inch ahead due to the rising smoke.

He opened his eyes and fixed his gaze.

1 second like that.

– Whoa!

The moment the smoke was washed away by the wind, I saw it.

“It’s all about being tanned!?”

There was not even a trace of what could be called a wound.

It is a different level of defense than Dalkan.

– Knock!

I poured the potion I took out of the pouch into my mouth and threw myself.

The cracked arm recovers and the pain subsides.

The moment he threw away his broken sword and landed on the ground.

– Kwaaaaang!

The Fire Armored Dragon stomped down his foot.

Thanks to being prepared in advance, I was able to dodge the attack.

the guy is big Of course, the shooting range is also wide.

‘But using my feet is a bit different.’

Relatively underdeveloped forelimbs. He stands on two legs.

That means that in order to trample, one leg has to be fixed.

The attack range is limited.

Because if you fall into the line, it’s over.

the problem is.

“shit!”

Even though I avoided a direct attack, fragments of the broken earth were aiming for me.

It’s weight and destructive power that can’t be said.

Fragments that ricocheted pierced the rock and stuck to the ground.

If that’s enough, I’ll die.

A head-to-head confrontation is also impossible.

-Paaaaang!

[Running Fog (B) Lv. 2]

I avoided the stone flying at an unavoidable angle with Dashing Fog and approached his leg again.

As long as the sword is destroyed, there is only one means of attack.

[Fire Bomb (B) Lv.6]

A skill aimed at the ankle and detonated.

Not once. I intend to continue using it as long as my magic power holds out.

I showed off my skills one after another, and as I exploded after explosion, the hot heat hit me.

At the same time, a faint protein burn.

It’s a little bit, but it did damage to him.

The red-hot scales must be proof of that.

Thanks to that, it seems like two-thirds of my magic power is gone.

Still, it showed potential.

‘It’s not that my attack doesn’t work at all.’

I smiled.

Of course, it’s not a big wound.

From his point of view, it would be just a slight burn.

It is clear that there is no change in movement.

[Challenge an impossible target!]

[Cheer for the reckless courageous challenger!]

[1000 points will be given.]

“I give points even with this.”

After all, this must be risking one’s life.

This is really good. It feels like I’m getting paid.

This is how it happened.

“I’m going to have to run amok until I die.”

I squeezed all the magic in my body.

-Quaaaaaang!

Sparks flew from the scales of the fire dragon.
