Episode 4 – Doing it alone?

#One

There is one hidden rule in the Tower of Protection.

Just as in the Tetris game, the person who explodes the block first gives the other team a penalty, here too, the team that clears first summons a special monster to the other team.

Climbers called this ‘object’.

Who spreads the object first?

This can be said to be the most important factor when climbing a tower.

‘It’s a structure that only comes in from one side. Great.’

The Tower of Guardians has a different map for each game and stage.

This time, only one side was blocked and the other entrance was slowly opened.

Hwanung established a strategy.

There is no particular strategy.

“The monk marks Lucas exclusively, and the rest allocate stamina well.”

“All right.”

Unlike the summoned beast that responded easily, Lucas’ condition was a little strange.

His upright eyes were sparkling with anger, and his body was trembling.

Why is he like that?

“Lucas?”

“Oh, sorry.”

“Why is that so?”

Hwanwoong asked reflexively.

It was because of the instinct to treat summoned animals as human beings, not as tools.

It has the shape of a human and has the appearance of an intelligent being.

So, Hwanwoong also treated him as a person.

“I was thinking about old times for a moment.”

“Thinking about the old days?”

Is there a separate story for each summon?

When I was about to ask more, the stage started.

[Enemies are coming.]

[Protect the guardian stone.]

A horde of zombies comes with a system alarm.

The zombies had a perfectly human appearance.

Not only Lucas but other summoned beasts also frowned in disgust.

If you look at him like that, he seems like an invincible person.

Hwanung folded his arms and calmly ordered.

“What can I do?”

The newly selected summon was a new type.

It was a [lesser druid], with pointed ears and pale skin like an elf.

His abilities are somewhere between a wizard and a warrior.

The skill is to bind or attack with vines.

Hwanwoong spoke lightly.

“Can you help Lucas deal with as few zombies as possible?”

“All right.”

[Grow up!]

[Grows and controls the roots and stems of plants quickly.]

The druid stretched out his hand, and huge tree roots sprouted from the ground.

The sight was quite splendid and worth seeing, so Hwanwoong looked at it in fascination.

‘If this is… … .’

You will be able to intercept whatever comes your way.

Soooo-.

Zombies running with strange cries.

The full-scale battle began with the aura erupting from the body of Lucas, who was in the lead.

Suddenly!

In Hwanung’s eyes, he saw Lucas swinging his sword passionately.

Fortunately, it was easy to fight thanks to the terrain created by the druids.

Strangely enough, in Hwanung’s eyes, he seemed to be able to clearly see with what emotion the summoned beast was wielding its weapon.

‘I’ve never felt anything like this.’

There are no problems with my physical strength yet, so I guess I’ll just wait and see.

Why does Lucas swing his sword with such emotions?

What about old thoughts?

‘As expected, there seems to be a story set for each character.’

For now, I had no choice but to conclude that way.

I once again felt that the details were amazing.

Maybe it’s this avatar’s ability.

It was time to start paying attention to his physical strength.

So Hwanung made a big deal.

“Lucas! “Don’t get excited!”

“… … .”

Lucas’ excessive movements stopped for an instant.

Oh my gosh-!

A zombie approached, taking advantage of the gap, but the shield soldier assisting next to him pushed the hideous face away.

“We are there too. Sir.”

“… … “Thank you.”

Lucas said ‘Woo-!’ He sighed and returned to his emotionless eyes.

He glanced back at the Master and Hwanwoong, who were looking at him from behind, and calmed himself.

His sword became honest and clean again.

‘These are just… … .’

These are just ghosts and illusions of the past.

Lucas calmed down his strong emotions and swung his sword mechanically.

All he has to do now is give the Master victory.

“Hmph!”

He used his abilities to eliminate zombies.

Only for the Master’s victory.

[Clear Stage 1]

[The results are tallied.]

[We are waiting for other climbers. please wait for a moment.]

After 10 minutes, all the zombies fell.

Hwanwoong added a new summon and was able to prepare for the second round.

Objects will be summoned from stage 2 onwards, so you need to be nervous.

‘One when you come in here, one after 10 minutes, and another when stage 2 starts.’

A total of three summons can be added in an instant.

Are there a total of five people in N grade now?

‘then… … .’

In the final stage, it was decided to add one more R-rated summon.

Obviously, the more towers you clear, the stronger your power will be.

Thinking that I had to work hard, I waited for the results to be tallied.

[Stage 1 Results]

[1st place: 10 minutes 21 seconds – Avatar N0.19930211]

[2nd place: 10 minutes 34 seconds – Tete and 4 others]

[3rd place: … … ]

[…] … ]

“huh?”

I ended up taking first place.

#2

Bald Mountaineering Club [Tetecru]

Contrary to their expectations that they would unconditionally come in first place, they ended up in second place.

Tetechru was broadcasting his climb to the top, and the results were fully exposed to viewers.

-??

-????

-Why second place? And it’s a 1993 solo?

-Ah, I’m back to school again;;

-It looks like the sniper came from some mountaineering club. ㅠㅠ

“uh… … “This person, it’s him!”

“1993? That’s right! “It’s the miner’s tower.”

“ah… … . Why did we end up in the same session?”

Avatar 1993.

It was the avatar that broke the Miner’s Tower record.

The name was spreading widely in the community, and it happened to be grouped into the same session.

Because of this, Tetechru faced the boss monster in stage 2.

The problem is that that avatar attempted the tower alone.

It is not easy to win first place on your own unless you have enormous abilities, equipment, and accessories.

“Iknow, right. “Is this really a sniper?”

“Oh, you don’t know that. “Maybe it was just luck.”

“Are you practicing being a knight? I don’t know… … . Anyway, we’ll have to fight the boss monster.”

-Rather good.

-93 videos were sweetly selected haha.

-Tetechru’s object hunting? I can’t stand this.

-Slot 93 knows a lot about broadcasting.

-ㄹㅇ haha

Rather, Tetecru’s viewers ignored it.

Because climbing the tower alone was amazing, viewers are also watching it as a piece of content.

Tetecru’s leader [Tete] also prepared for the next stage, thinking that an unknown expert had come to snipe him.

“But how high do you have to be to achieve that level of specs on your own?”

someone asked.

After that, speculative chats started pouring in.

-Two of the four major abilities must be over 40.

-You also need to have a lot of skills.

-Don’t the equipment and accessories have to match to some extent?

-If any of your abilities is over 60, you can wear it loosely.

-LOL Why does someone like that come here?

An avatar with a single ability score of 60 or higher, or two ability scores of 40 or higher.

In addition, it was concluded that it was possible if physical strength, control, equipment, and skills were comprehensively equipped.

Among Hwanwoong’s abilities, mana was 100, so it was not wrong.

[Stage 2 begins.]

[Annihilate your enemies.]

[Wave number: 8]

[Object appears!]

[Boss – A degenerated ogre appears.]

Meanwhile, stage 2 began.

#3

A pleasant hunt continued.

Teams that are not in first place have to catch the boss, so the clearing time gets longer and longer, and if they fall behind in rankings, they continue to lose first place.

The tower of protection was a structure that allowed the side that had won the victory to continue pushing forward.

Hwanwoong continued hunting leisurely, led by Lucas.

The burden on summons is becoming less and less.

Hwanwoong can draw a summon once every 10 minutes, so whatever it is, his power is strengthened.

“Hmm, I think it’s still okay.”

Stage 1 ended without incident.

Six N-grade material summoners gathered.

We can definitely secure up to two people, but what about the last one?

‘The risk to the object is too great to wait.’

I was at a crossroads of choice.

Will you fill 10 summons, or will you give up one summon for the record?

After pondering for a moment, Hwanung soon chose the former.

“Now is not the time to dwell on records.”

It didn’t matter if I came in second place.

Rewards will be given above a certain amount, and the number of summons will increase.

It would be better to strengthen power now.

3×8=24.

If you add the last round time, it is 27 minutes.

If you hold on for just 20 more minutes, you can get one more R-rated summon as soon as the last stage begins.

Then you should definitely pick it.

“I’m going to hold out for 20 minutes from now. “Everyone, stay alert.”

“All right!”

The summoners answered in unison.

Stage 2 was also nothing special.

The question is whether Tetechru can grab the object and reverse himself within 20 minutes.

Wouldn’t it be better to take your time?

Hwanung relaxed.

All you have to do is spend time managing your summons so they don’t get wiped out.

It was 20 minutes, a really long time.

“Whoa… … . “I’m slowly getting tired.”

“Please stay away for a while. “I will stop it.”

“I understand.”

The problem was the zombies coming from two directions at the same time.

A situation where power is naturally distributed.

However, in this case, the role of the druid was very important.

[Nature’s Wrath]

[Punishment is imposed on those who destroy nature.]

[Trangle enemies with huge tree roots and apply pressure to inflict damage.]

[Those bound to the roots are affected by ‘Status Abnormality: Bondage’.]

Quad deud deuk-!

Huge tree roots entangled the entire line of zombies.

After that, long-distance attacks from wizards and archers continued.

With the zombie’s weak attack power, it took quite a while to break through the tree roots, so it was truly a perfect defense.

“good job.”

“Instead, you should rest a little.”

After using a skill, the Druid was reduced to being unable to do anything for a certain period of time.

Still, it’s good for one person.

One side was completely blocked, and on the other side, summoned beasts were taking turns maintaining the line.

and… … The long-awaited 10 minutes have passed.

“Come out.”

Now, it is a lottery that can be triggered only by will.

There were eight people.

With the addition of summons, defense became easier and the burden on summons was further reduced.

And the last 10 minutes.

“Now there are nine.”

At the same time, all zombies in stage 2 were annihilated.

[You have cleared stage 2.]

[The results are tallied.]

[We are waiting for other climbers. please wait for a moment.]

Eventually, the results came out.

[Stage 2 Results]

[1st place: 19 minutes 55 seconds – Tete and 4 others]

[2nd place: 20 minutes 4 seconds – Avatar No.19930211]

[3rd place: … … ]

“Kabi.”

This time, he narrowly came in second place.

I don’t know what kind of avatar was over there, but it certainly seemed like the quantity couldn’t be ignored.

There are five in Tetechru, and the number here is almost twice as large.

I’m sure you’ll like it very much.

[Stage 3 begins.]

[Annihilate your enemies.]

[Wave number: 10]

[caution! A boss appears in wave 10.]

[Object appears!]

[Boss – Degenerated Ogre×2 appears.]

[Time limit: 20 minutes]

Stage 3 has begun.

At the same time, the cooldown of the draw was reset, and Hwanwoong opened his mouth.

“Second R-rated, let’s go.”

[Choose a summoned beast.]

[Evolution continues.]

A bright light appeared and a new summoned animal appeared.
