Stuck in The Tower

Chapter 124: Is he here too?

swung the sword

As the unyielding Sword Demon was displayed, my attacks became even sharper.

– Kwadeuk!

The lich’s throat soared with the sound of bones cracking.

The body of a man falling helplessly.

-Kagaga River

Bones scatter with a loud sound.

Unlike powerful magic, the lich body itself had weak durability.

At least in terms of physics.

I heard that it has a strong resistance to magic attacks, so it’s hard to hit properly.

“Did you use the sword on purpose?”

The blown off head floated in the air and spoke.

He doesn’t die either.

I don’t know if I have enough divine power, but I don’t have any divine skills, nor do I have priest-type powers.

If it weren’t for the resurrection, I’d be able to catch any number of 4-star monsters like that.

Can not help it. You have no choice but to find the life vessel and destroy it.

‘Deokchun, I’ll draw your attention so you find the life vessel.’

Deokchun nodded slightly.

It’s good that the pet is like this. Since we are connected to each other, even if we talk internally, we can understand each other well.

I turned my head towards him. I need to make Puregos focus only on me.

“Because Richie is strong against magic. Skeletons taste like knocking.”

“You speak well.”

As he laughed, the scattered bone fragments flew by themselves and took shape.

It takes about 30 seconds for the body to regenerate.

fast.

A monster that invested everything in its attack power is a lich. Its durability is weak, but it is covered by regeneration.

Is this why hunters don’t like dealing with liches?

After all, breaking the life vessel is the answer.

‘The duration of the buff is 10 minutes. If possible, I’d like to find it within that time.’

Even after the buff is over, you can fight, but it’s unclear whether you’ll be able to completely catch his gaze. If he is determined and only targets Deokchun, an annoying situation will arise.

I thought as I glared at him.

Where are you? It’s his only weakness, so there’s no way he left it anywhere.

Did you hide it in a labyrinth somewhere other than here?

no. that’s too dangerous

Not only is there a risk that the trap will be destroyed when triggered, but there is also the possibility that other intruders will accidentally discover it.

do you have it yourself?

It wouldn’t be that either. If I had, I would have just tried to dodge the attack somehow.

Use Blink or Shield or whatever.

It seems highly likely that it is hidden among the treasures.

First, let’s take some time.

“Even if Puregos could live forever, he couldn’t escape from the destroyed world. Right now, you too are imprisoned in the tower.”

“It is a fate that cannot be denied.”

he shrugged.

I knew it. Like Hainu, those left alone like to talk.

Even the strongest people feel lonely.

Didn’t he also say that he would enjoy it slowly until another intruder came?

To my ears, it sounded like I was bored and asked to play.

“What will become of the destroyed world?”

“Does that mean anything? Climber, your world won’t be much different from ours anyway.”

“why? Alios also failed?”

At my words, Puregos stops.

“Have you met Alios?”

“I heard a lot of stories. I heard a little bit about you.”

never heard of It’s just a trick to get his attention.

[The S-class power star-watching eye is activated.]

I naturally looked at the cavity. Maybe there’s a life vessel hidden somewhere here.

“Tell me where he is!”

-Kuhuaaaaagh!

Waves of powerful magic emanated from Puregos.

awesome force. It’s a thrill just to be facing each other.

The enormous flow of magical power is fatal in itself.

I took a step closer to him, feeling a cold sweat running down my back.

“why? Did you get beaten up by Alios? If it’s her personality, she’ll stay.”

“Don’t mention that abominable name! If it wasn’t for him, the empire wouldn’t weaken!”

ah. Before Alios became a knight, it was said that he was a great threat to the Empire.

He was imprisoned as a mortal prisoner, so he said everything.

Thanks to you, I think he can scratch his temper.

“It’s disgusting. Alios climbed to the 99th floor of the tower. Where were you and what were you doing while he was doing it? Pretending to be for the empire, but in fact, didn’t you want to satisfy your own greed?”

I took the seed of the World Tree from my inventory.

His body trembles.

“…Hainu!”

“That’s right, the last Snow Spirit Queen. The existence that created the labyrinth with you. Hainu didn’t let go of the treasure map until he exhausted himself. But you…”

He inserted the seed of the World Tree again and raised one corner of his mouth.

“You became a lich with the item you were supposed to seal? hey cool! Great job Puregos!”

They clapped and spread their hands.

“Did you draw the markers in the labyrinth as well? To crawl back into the labyrinth. Thanks for making it easy to get here. Thank you!”

“Neonooooum!”

[Dark Frame (AA) Lv.10]

– Flames that inflict extreme pain

– Accompanied by mental damage.

As the furious bastard swung his arm, jet-black flames attacked me.

I can’t give it to you easily!

– Kwaaaaang!

I detonated the firebomb and used the recoil to send my body flying.

A dark frame flying incessantly.

-Ku-kwa-kwa-kwa!

The cavity is destroyed in an instant. The fire resistance skill level rises in succession due to the creepy heat.

Is that all?

-I

didn’t even touch it directly, but I started getting blisters on my body.

A feeling of skin peeling and muscle contraction.

At the same time, the level of the rigid body skill began to rise.

“You know nothing! What have I paid for! How devoted you were to the Empire!”

“Do complaining at home!”

[Frozen Break (A) Lv.7]

-Quad Deuk!

Ice rises towards him.

A guy who quickly disappeared.

Is it Blink? I quickly looked around.

“found!”

“Kheop!”

I jumped at the guy who appeared from the left and fired a kick.

A guy stuck in ice.

The ice exploded along with him, shattering his body.

Certainly, his body is weak. It’s because the power of the magic you use is crazy.

It’s also a problem to keep reviving until you break the life vessel.

I checked the buff time.

The remaining time is approximately 5 minutes.

I’ll try to destroy as many as I can while I can overwhelm him.

-Puregos

being reconstructed again.

Playback speed decreased. This time around 40 seconds.

It is said that it resurrects infinitely, but there is no penalty at all.

Even a guy doesn’t have infinite magical power.

–

Fixed the Chanang sword. Each time it is broken, the regeneration time is delayed by about 10 seconds.

You’ll need to smash it at least twice more to slow it down by the minute.

-Paang!

I ran towards him.

Let’s drop it on the ground first.

“Where!”

He fired a fire skill strike at me.

Prominences extending in a straight line.

[Heavy Bracelet (C)]

I quickly increased the weight and moved it down.

Flames passing overhead.

Detonate the Fire Bomb at the right timing and jump again.

[Cutting (B) Lv. 1]

I swung my sword at the same time as I approached in an instant.

B grade skill. Although it might be less powerful than other skills.

-Suddenly!

-Kagagakak!

As I swung the sword in succession, the sword strike became dozens of lines.

“Quaaaaagh!”

His body was torn into dozens of pieces.

A boy crying in pain.

weird. It’s strange no matter how you look at it.

Lich is an undead that specializes in offensive magic, but of course it shows a weak aspect in defense. But this guy…

“Is it too severe? Are you a real wizard?”

I can’t use a single proper defense magic. Basically, isn’t the lich an undead wizard? That’s why it’s normal to use a simple shield.

At first, I thought you were watching.

Because it can be restored anyway. I thought he saved his energy because he needed someone to play with until another intruder came in, but now I have doubts.

Kuduk. I grabbed his skull.

“Ku-ke-ke-ke-ke!”

the guy laughed

rattling jawbone. The ghastly glowing eyes are creepy.

-Kooung!

He landed on the ground holding onto his skull.

Bones flew in to regenerate.

– Kaang!

– Quickly!

He swung his sword and blocked it.

A real lich should be able to use magic even in this state.

Even if it’s not the high-level magic you used before, there must be a way to get out of my hands.

I felt out of place.

Baron of the Empire. It is clear that he is an aristocrat, but it is by no means a high position.

A person like that stole the treasure coveted by countless nobles and sealed it in the labyrinth?

If you had the power, you could have robbed it yourself?

No, if I had pressed it with force, there wouldn’t have been a need to create a labyrinth.

There’s no reason to ask for help from others.

More than anything.

[Demon Summoning Horn (S)]

– You can summon a demon and make an immortal pact.

– Those who have obtained immortality belong to the devil.

– It is imbued with the energy of a higher level demon. Intermediate and lower demons feel fear.

-Seduces those who are weak in spirit.

The final description of the artifact he is guarding.

To seduce the weak in spirit.

Puregos succumbed to temptation and became a lich.

Something that couldn’t happen if he was really strong.

“If you were here too, you would have been called by the Tower. Be honest. What floor did you go up to?”

“Khehehe. Do you know how to survive in a dying world, climber?”

Puregos, who had evaded an answer, spoke another word.

His eyes gleamed.

“No matter what hero appears, the world cannot escape the flow of destruction. Those who climbed the tower could be NPCs. But what about ordinary people who don’t? What about those who couldn’t climb to a higher place?”

-Quad deuk!

Puregos, who forcibly restored his right arm, grabbed me by the collar.

“Survival comes first, climbers. The form doesn’t matter. As the world changes, we must adapt to the changed world.”

A buzzing sound. what do you want to say

“Everyone who helped me didn’t understand. They were supporters of the cause, but that’s a deception! They become NPCs and live in the tower!”

– Kwagak

– Bone

fragments fly out and stick to his body.

The guy who had regenerated his body gnashed his teeth and glared at me.

“Did you ask what floor I went up to? It is only on the 35th floor. funny? It must be funny! I couldn’t even climb half of the tower! Magic? i’m not a wizard He was an ordinary, common man.”

35th floor. Certainly, compared to Alios, it was a lower floor.

By our standards, it’s a C-class Hunter level.

now i get it Why wasn’t there a variety of magic for a lich?

‘I made a contract with the devil and forcibly powered it up.’

The reason why he was able to become a 4-star monster from an ordinary person has been revealed.

Good news. It means you can hunt him more easily.

“Everyone who remains in the destroyed world will die. If you become a member of the devil’s family, you can enter the demon realm. The Empire ignored that fact. It’s like abandoning the imperial people!”

“It’s bullshit.”

“No, I am right. I was trying to prove myself. Dumb aristocrats went to war just to save their lives, but I was different. I tried to become the devil’s henchmen directly so that others could be incorporated into the demon realm.”

He pointed to the entrance to the treasure room.

“As you said, I was the one who left a mark. I tried to come back and accomplish a great cause before the world was completely destroyed, but it was too late. Because I already belonged to the tower.”

“Then why don’t you give up now? Why do you still stay here and get muddy?”

At my words, Puregos shook his shoulders.

“Do you know who I signed the contract with? He’ll save me even if I’m in the tower. Because Kildereth, the ruler of the 7th Demon Realm, is my master!”

he shouted proudly

“Uh… Kildereth is playing the role of an NPC on the 10th floor right now?”

I was scratching my head.
