Stuck in The Tower
Chapter 609

Chapter 609 Function Selection

The Demon King’s Castle is busy. As many stages as players entered, dozens of holograms emerged.

The screams of those rolling in it unfold in surround.

It was a commotion as if several action and horror movies were playing at the same time, but this one was also quite hectic.

“Stage 8 situation is over! There are no survivors!”

“Stage 4 survivor confirmed! 3 out of 7 survived.”

“There are 4 people who used the return scroll on stage 12, my lord.”

“Nine times over. is annihilation There is a weapon that can withstand resonance. I’ll have to check to see if it was handled separately.”

The self-proclaimed Four Heavenly Kings each tell the stage situation. Me too. I was collecting and organizing the reports that came in quickly.

“Players feeling the anomaly are leaving.”

“Isn’t there anyone going up? All the cleared kids are leaving.”

Hologram windows that go out one by one. Soon, all stages ended with the players on stage 13, who were struggling for the last time, being wiped out.

The silence that came for a while.

“Is it over?”

“The situation is over!”

“Waaaaaa!”

The operation ended with cheers. Everyone was excited about the results that exceeded expectations.

I also clapped a little and told everyone that they did a good job.

“A total of 1058 people entered this stage. Among them, 704 dropped out. 128 survivors. 226 return scroll users. It is a complete victory.”

clarified the contents.

Because the operation was executed earlier than planned, fewer people entered the stage than planned, but many dropped out.

128 survivors. Adding those who used scrolls to it…

“It means that only about 30 percent survived.”

The objective of this operation has been fully achieved.

Exclude as many players as possible from this game and consume the Return Scrolls you have.

Excluding those who died while challenging the stage and those who got caught in this operation.

‘The remaining players are now about half. The number of people who have a return scroll is less than half at most.’

Attacking the stage basically requires a lot of challenges. It means that as much as you don’t know what lies ahead, there will be trial and error.

Therefore, those who rushed into the advance team must clear and propagate the strategy so that the second team can safely enter.

What if the number of such vanguards was reduced?

“They can’t just come at you any more.”

Can you stay still? that’s not it either

In the meantime, if the players don’t come, I’ll create more frontiers and the stages they have to solve will increase.

Through this operation, it has gained an advantage over time.

In the meantime, I was nervous because I didn’t know when they would attack. Gold to grow the castle was not enough, and it was not easy to replace powerful monsters.

In addition, the speed at which players grow is so fast that it was difficult to replace equipment and large-scale equipment to respond to them.

Especially as time goes by, the players get stronger. Even the growth potential is higher than that of monsters. It meant that it was difficult for me towards the second half.

‘It’s different now.’

From this moment on, the guys will be chased by time.

I know there are special means of growth outside, such as ruins and dungeons. But what? It can only be used by a small number of people.

In order to grow, you have to invade anyway. It was only natural that there would be no need for an invasion in the first place if there was no need for that.

The burden of attacking the stage. I am gradually expanding my area. Not even half the players.

“They will come rushing in. There will be psychological pressure.”

“You made the right decision, Demon King.”

As if my judgment was correct, Garti appeared from the corner of the conference room.

Since the library opened, everyone but me hadn’t shown their faces, so everyone looked surprised.

“Devil?”

“No. He is the former Demon King.”

“haha. Seeing it this way, it feels different, Garti.”

Everyone pretends to know. The guy nodded lightly and handed me the papers.

“This is a list of the whereabouts of the players you were looking for and the items they would have acquired.”

“Thank you. I’ll check.”

It seems that I haven’t seen it yet because I’ve been writing a report.

It was a bit thick to write in a short time. It is not a skill that has been used once or twice that it is well organized even after a quick glance.

It’s just…

“Is this real?”

“It’s certain since we found out the ruins they entered.”

“There must have been a reason you focused on this rather than invasion.”

When I saw the content, my brow furrowed.

The remains of Giganto Matata, which seems to have entered the Hwamu-seon and the fairy club crew. Their average level expected after clearing that place.

‘About level 37.’

is a steep rise. Right now, the average level of those who were at the forefront of this invasion was around 26.

At level 37, it’s a higher number than the hair loss man.

‘The hair loss man can raise the level more while they clear the ruins, so it should be considered similar.’

As a result, it may seem similar.

The important thing is this. Level 37 is higher than 3-star monsters. It was clear that it would be wiped out if the equipment was not equipped and prepared for awakening or defense equipment.

I heard that players will also change when they reach level 40 right away.

“blessing.”

“right. They are trying to get a quick blessing.”

If you are level 40, you should consider it on the same level as the 4-star Himerun and the others.

One reason. Because of the blessings you can receive at level 40.

It could be seen as a kind of buff, but it was an open fire buff that lasted until the game ended or died.

Just receiving it increases your ability.

“Blessings are limited. The more you reach level 40 first, the better blessings you can receive.”

“Do you know the type?”

“Up to third place. After that, I don’t really care. At most, it’s a form of increasing some of the attack power or defense power.”

In other words, from 1st to 3rd place, it meant that there was something other than simple ability enhancement.

Here’s what Garti explained:

3rd place buff – the one who doesn’t fall.

Recovers 40% of all damage.

“The more you attack someone, the more your blood boils. Even the dealer position, which is vulnerable to defense, recovers like a zombie and runs after it.”

A concept like blood-sucking in games.

Anyway, isn’t 40% of the damage too much?

A blessing that suits both those who use a wide range of attacks against multiple enemies and those who use powerful attacks on a single target.

At least, if you have a tanker, it seems that the efficiency will drop.

2nd place buff – symbol of peace.

“Just by being there, it gives a recovery effect and a buff to the entire area, including yourself. The stages get longer and longer. The difference between those who have this ability and those who do not is clear.”

“It’s a skill specialized in long-term warfare.”

A blessing that seems to have been made to match the stage clearing.

Even if you don’t do anything separately, just live and breathe to recover and buff?

The existence itself is the number one recruiting position. If the 3rd place is to survive alone, the 2nd place is to survive with everyone.

It is also the first enemy to be dealt with in a battle.

If 2nd place looks like this, what about 1st place?

“The first person to be blessed has no recovery ability or buffs. You only have one right.”

1st place buff.

“Strategic retreat.”

Garti sweeps down his pointed chin.

“It is the authority to escape to the human side without clearing within the demon lord’s realm. It’s like a return scroll. Instead, just once a day.”

“Is that a bit too much?”

Doesn’t it mean that it is similar to having a return book that can be used virtually infinitely?

One of the things I was most wary of was whether or not there was a return letter.

Theoretically, if you figured out how to attack each stage through the return book, you could break through even if you made 1000 stages.

In reality, in the process, there will be many cases where you die before you even write the Return Book, but among those who were eliminated this time, there will be people who died even though they had the Return Book.

Even so.

‘The higher the spec, the higher the possibility of buying time before dying.’

It felt like what was intended.

In the end, this game induces a battle between the demon king and the expedition team.

giving you a chance A chance to overcome all kinds of adversity and reach the castle of demons.

There are only a couple of things to worry about here.

at the bottom of the report.

‘Invasion equipment.’

The things they would get by clearing the ruins were quite annoying.

Just as I had defense equipment, players had equipment for invasion.

“…the titan golem.”

“If there are water-based weapons, there are also siege weapons.”

Simply put, it was a large golem.

A tough, ignorant golem that will break the trap I have prepared for you.

It was a player’s strategic weapon that would not penetrate the machine gun, would cross the deep moat, and would break down the walls surrounding the castle.

We weren’t the only ones preparing a trump card.

A reminder that reminds me of that.

[Settlement completed.]

[Accomplished the achievement of defeating numerous players!]

[Obtain 21080 gold!]

[Obtain equipment! (Check details)]

[Obtain Evolution Stones! (Check details)]

[Obtain an orb of fire!]

.

.

Invasion defense success rewards began pouring.

It took some time, probably because we caught so many players.

If it hadn’t been for the unpleasant news, I would have been genuinely happy.

I looked at the list of rewards with a slightly calmed mood.

“This?”

Soon, the expression that had been wrinkled at the last reward that came to mind was relieved.

[Huge damage has been done to mankind.]

[Everyone is wary of the existence of the demon king.]

[One new function can be added.]

A newly created function.

It seemed to be a function that only opened when the demon king’s influence reached a certain level, but it seemed like I had a choice.

[Additional Feature List]

-Moving Demon Castle

-Advent of the Undead

-Terraforming the Frontier -Inheritance to

the Throne

-Base Fortification

-Invasion Reversed World

-Field Monster Demonic Demonization

-Catastrophe

.

.

.

Various kinds of functions come to mind.

The moving demonic castle literally moves the entire demonic castle.

The advent of the undead is…

“resurrecting the dead human side personnel into the undead.”

this is a bit enticing

Raising dead players all over the stage meant that I could use today’s strategy one more time.

Frontier terraforming is the ability to change the environment of a pioneered place at will.

By using this, you can not only increase the production of bloodsuckers and monsters, but you can also randomly create mines where evolution stones or magic ores come out.

All powerful features.

“okay. It should be like this.”

The timing for those who receive the blessing from the player side to appear. Wouldn’t I also have the taste of something like this?

I can think of various ways to strengthen the demon castle and secure the prevailing war situation.

First of all, from confirmation.

I slowly went through the features on the list.

“That one! Invasion Reversed World! With that, we can invade now!”

“Wouldn’t terraforming the frontier be better? They will no longer use the equipment we supplied. It needs resources to repair itself.”

“I think it’s better to set up a camp for all bases and prepare a demon lord’s territory on the human side, my lord.”

Executives also recommended functions that seemed useful to them.

Tok. Tok. I tapped my fingers and concentrated.

Let’s replace the most important in the absence of unattractive offers.

“decided.”

With everyone’s eyes focused on me, I made my choice.

“Prepare to launch.”

At the same time, I decided to implement the following operation.

The puzzle started to come together.
