Stuck in The Tower
Chapter 84

Chapter 84: I

opened my eyes.

A cold sweat drenched his back.

I quickly looked around and saw a strangely familiar place.

This place.

“A 10th floor inn?”

Come to think of it, I had extended my stay before the arena event.

I thought I might have taken it too long, but I never thought it would help.

I almost fell in the middle of the plaza.

Since I didn’t sell my face, I wouldn’t be attacked by a large guild, but I couldn’t avoid getting my equipment stolen.

I inspected the frost fire sword in my hand.

[Frost Flame Sword (S)]

-Holy Relic of the Temple of Ice and Fire

-It was sealed because it was not recognized by Magnarok.

“Is it too?”

Apparently, there was a restriction as it was merged with the sacred object on the altar.

I lost my function, but I fed him shit, so I’ll have to be satisfied.

Well, anyway, this is the beginning.

“Followed. I will show you the fear of infinite coins.”

Anyway, no matter how many times I die in the tower, I will be revived.

That you can challenge the ruins any number of times.

You made the wrong ruins.

You should have used the Ruins Key as a consumable item.

I took the Ruins Key from the treasure bag and checked it.

You did a good job opening the door and keeping it.

Pudeuk.

Grinding it, he made up his mind.

I’ll be sure to get rid of Deokchun’s grudge…

Huh?

wait for a sec.

My head was spinning for a moment.

It must have been checked with the system before.

“They say that pets return to the safe zone just like when their owner dies, and even if they die, if I go to the safe zone, they will be revived.”

You mean?

I whimpered and turned my head.

“That’s it.”

Deokchun, who was lying on one side of the bed, snapped his finger.

A guy who is comfortably leaning on a pillow and scratching his stomach.

No matter what you ate, your mouth is full of crumbs.

“The Deokchun!”

“Geugegeep!”

I threw my body and hugged Deokchun.

Deokchun struggles as if he is frustrated.

Still, I didn’t let go.

-slam!

Deokchun vigorously slapped my cheek with his tongue.

In an instant, the neck turned.

Oh, I almost died one more time.

Frog child without emotion.

Someone took revenge and went through that hardship.

Out of embarrassment, I tried to fiddle with Deokchun’s dainty tail.

Laughter leaked out first.

what’s important

It’s important to be able to see it again.

“I missed you.”

“Quack.”

Deokchun also sneaked up to me and tapped my leg, probably feeling the same way.

A guy who isn’t honest.

“Whoa.”

He let out a long breath.

Feeling a bit calmer now.

My head, which had been numb from excitement, started rolling again.

“The situation itself is not bad.”

The process itself was not good, but in the end, nothing was lost.

no

Frostfire Black lost functionality.

It was my only Class A gear.

this can’t be helped It’s equipment, because it’s enough to get it again.

So far, there is no problem climbing the tower without special equipment.

Now, I feel relieved that I did not lose Deokchun.

Still, I couldn’t help but feel regretful, so I licked my lips while sweeping my sword.

“Because this is just the beginning.”

It’s enough to let go of the dirty feeling.

Damn hyaltine ruins.

Magnarok I couldn’t leave him alone.

It is impossible to destroy it directly.

Because he was systematically judged indestructible.

The commander did give a tip.

I should use more powerful holy power or magic or chaos.

Of course, there is no divine power, and there is no magic.

All that remains is Chaos.

“On him?”

“Why don’t you have much faith?”

It is true that Deokchun has chaos attributes.

However, it is questionable whether it can give him a valid blow.

Didn’t you get hit once before?

Whatever it is, it is meaningful if it can be attacked.

There’s no need to take risks.

I have no desire to see Deokchun die again.

Apart from being revived, there are things that cannot be compromised.

The person in question obviously doesn’t want to die.

“I’ll have to be content with stealing the holy relic.”

After clearing up my thoughts, I nodded.

Now that this has happened, I will continue to challenge the ruins, gain combat experience, and raise my skill level.

The stolen relic can be disposed of separately.

Since Rilka is both a merchant and a blacksmith, I wonder if she will come up with a solution.

I want to ask right away, but the other day he said he was going up to the 20th floor.

If possible, it would be nice if there was a way to use the holy relic without receiving recognition from Magnarok.

check this out later

“What is this again?”

I checked the notification history.

There is one thing that catches my eye.

“You got a title?”

It seemed that being resurrected with a frost flame sword at the end was treated as an achievement.

I don’t even know what a system is.

I’m fine, so it doesn’t matter.

Information on the newly acquired title was displayed.

[Holy Relic Looter – Title]

-Thief who stole the relics of the church!

– Aside from ethics, the process is not easy.

– Boldness. Quick judgment and action. Cleverness to escape without being caught!

-The direction is wrong, but you have the qualities to move forward.

what is it I don’t know if this is a curse or a compliment.

Let’s skip the miscellaneous explanations and see what the effect is.

Does it raise the stats like a raider?

Or does it give a special ability like the one who calls the night?

It’s hard to get a title, but somehow it’s already the third time.

[Holy Relic Looter-Title]

-The one who stole the sacred relics of the church. You will also gain divinity.

– Holy Power +10

– You can temporarily use stolen relics. (Can be used once for each relic.)

– The more the relics are stolen, the higher the divine power level.

[Sacred Power stats are unlocked.]

“Oh? Divine power?”

It’s more than expected.

Actually, it’s good to have stats like strength and agility, but it’s not urgent.

Every time you clear each floor, your stats are calculated, so you can raise them just by climbing, and they naturally improve as you upgrade your equipment.

On the other hand, special attributes such as divine power are quite precious.

“It usually doesn’t exist unless you are a priest.”

Or use divine arms.

Not to mention it’s expensive.

Great. Didn’t you feel it while climbing the tower? How big is the difference between those with divine power and those without.

More than anything, I like the last explanation.

Because it fits perfectly with what I’m trying to do.

I have no choice but to shake off the holy relic.

You can use the holy relic only once…

OK, the title has been confirmed.

Next is this.

[Curse of Blood Dagger (E)]

– Only the owner can use ‘Curse of Blood Creeper (A)’.

-Otherwise, an ordinary dagger.

“The effect was amazing.”

He died right away from being cursed.

It’s a trap that it can only be used on me, but it’s useful.

It’s not a very good feeling, but it can be used as an escape item to escape to a safe zone.

If I get a curse resistance skill later, I think I can use it for leveling up…

Didn’t I see the effect of fire resistance too?

“uh? Come to think of it, wasn’t there another resistance skill?”

[Poison Resistance (E) Lv.1]

– Resistant to all poisons.

“I forgot this.”

The more resistant skills you have, the better.

Since you never know when you might encounter an enemy that spews poison, it’s good to be prepared in advance.

After all, the fastest way to level up is to be exposed to poison.

I glanced at Deokchun.

“Deok Chun.”

“Wow?”

“Do you have poisonous traits? Spit it out.”

“Eugheh.”

Fortunately, I have a living poison generator.

Deokchun, who was looking at me with his characteristic thick expression, spat.

-Chiiik

“Evil! Be gentle!”

The venom on his forearm made his skin soften.

The pain of melting alive was considerable, but I endured it with a frown on my face.

10 minutes like that. Around the time I was worried that my forearm might be disappearing.

[Skill level up!]

[Poison Resistance (E) Lv

.

Pain is reduced.

In addition, the recovery effect applied to the safe zone is applied, so it feels somewhat balanced.

As time passed, the toxicity decreased, and after 30 minutes, the wound was completely healed.

If you use this well, you can raise your level to the extreme, right?

As a bonus, Deokchun’s characteristics are also strengthened.

“Dukchun, let’s continue like this. Lick with poison and lick recovery. Repeat OK?”

“Eh? Gee eh.”

Deokchun’s characteristics are also considered to be graded, so there is a possibility that it will increase if you continue to use it.

I am me too, but Deokchun should be strong too.

He doesn’t reject it even though he puts on an annoyed expression as if he read my thoughts.

I didn’t even know it was because I got it right this time.

After taking off the broken gargoyle suit and putting on the battle suit he had put in the treasure bag, Deokchun didn’t put the armor in.

“Eugheh. Lick!”

Deokchun opened the zipper of his battle suit and licked his chest.

venom once.

then recovery.

The downy hair stands up to the strange sensation of the flesh repeating itself to heal.

oh oh Exciting.

I feel like dying, but it’s worth living.

Feel the endorphins bursting in your brain.

It was hard to bear, but I made up my mind.

All of this is an effort to become stronger.

Anyway, with this, the preparation is over.

It’s time to go out.

-While I was out of town,

I also extended the number of days I stayed at the inn.

I don’t know how many times I’ll come here because I’ll be visiting the ruins many times in the future.

I took a step and checked the safety zone.

“The atmosphere has definitely changed.”

Thanks to Kildereth and Rilka’s efforts, the position of large guilds has decreased.

They still flock around and show their dominance, but they don’t show off like before.

Even the newly-elected handlers seem to be keeping quiet.

Even without a large guild, the security was not disturbed, and rather, it became free and lively.

nice change.

I felt satisfied for some reason, and my steps became lighter.

I enjoyed my short break like that.

[Enter the portal.]

[11th floor]

Go straight up.

Wait, Magnarok.

I’m coming.

* * *

17th floor. under the oasis.

Hyaltin Ruins that cannot be entered without a key.

– Magnarok,

who had been asleep at the Altar of Ice and Fire in the deepest part of the Gugugugung Palace, woke up.

Someone is digging through the ruins.

He was the keeper of the ruins, the system to replace the owner of the church’s sacred objects, and the will to choose the pillars to support the church.

I could definitely feel it as much as it was connected to the ruins.

As soon as the challenger passed the first barrier, he was breaking through the path of fire.

At this speed, the ice road would be pierced in no time.

“What a great quality.”

Magnarok was genuinely amazed.

In terms of qualities, they are comparable to those who came here for the first time.

flinch.

he frowned.

It’s because the holy relic that the first challenger stole came to mind.

I was angry at the thought that I had mocked myself, who was created by God’s will, and I felt regret that if I had known how to forgive, I would have become a pillar of a great church.

“A foolish fellow, when he goes through all the trials, he gives back what he lost.”

Although it is not known because no one has properly cleared the ruins yet, Magnarok will not completely destroy the challenger’s valuables.

To be precise, it is deleted and recreated.

The Temple of Ice and Fire wasn’t such a harsh place.

For those who have passed all trials.

“This time, I hope that someone who is fine will come.”

Sensing the challenger getting closer, Magnarok straightened his back.

Hopefully this time the pillars of the church will be born.

May there be a new evangelist who will revive the fallen denomination.

-Koo-gu-gu-gu-

gu-gu-gu-gung

vibration is very close.

Faster than expected.

In a little while, the door to the altar will open and the first meeting with the challenger will take place.

One of the most enjoyable times for Magnarok, who has been chained to the altar for eons of time.

– Gugung Kung!

now it’s right in front of you

Magnarok slowly opened his arms.

Let’s welcome new hope.

A fresh believer to get rid of boredom!

– Woo woo woo woo!

[Entering the altar of the Temple of Ice and Fire.]

A message informing the challenger’s position came to mind.

A person walking with his back to the brilliant light.

Magnarok happily opened his mouth.

“Who entered the altar of ice and fire…”

Before he could finish his words, the challenger drew his sword.

“I’m an asshole.”

Jo Hyun-soo is back.
