Episode 7 – Troller
#One
[Tower of Maze]
[Stage: 15]
[Grade: Sobaeksan]
[This stage is a huge maze.]
[100 people enter one session. The crew capacity is 5 people.]
[Whoever catches the boss: Vampire Servan first wins.]
[Bruiser-type items appear frequently.]
[Skill Book: You can obtain Berserk.]
Tower of Maze.
In reality, Sobaeksan Mountain is said to be about 1,500 meters above sea level.
It is the center of the Sobaek Mountain Range and is a fairly high mountain in Korea.
Befitting its grade, the level of difficulty increases significantly compared to Bukhansan and Namsan.
However, there was one big advantage here.
There is no time limit for each stage.
Oh, of course, due to the structure of the tower, once a certain number of people advance, the rest will automatically be eliminated.
‘The average clear time… … ‘About 5 hours.’
5 hours is 300 minutes.
This is the time to secure three R-grade summons.
Also, I’m not sure, but what if the cooldown is reset every time you go up to the next floor?
“It’s crazy, very.”
Not only will it not be enough to increase its power several times at once, it will become the best in its class.
However, if you consume the tower in this way, there will come a time when even R-grade summons will be overwhelmed.
I’ll have to work hard and have many SR-grade and SSR-grade summons.
‘let’s go.’
[The game will start soon.]
[If you are a climber who would like to participate, please click Join Game.]
Top lobby.
It’s finally time to join the game.
A lot of people had gathered.
There were probably at least a thousand climbers bustling around.
Among them, there were some that particularly stood out.
An avatar carrying a golden ax on its back.
For sure… … .
‘Golden Ax Sigrul. The person next to him… … .’
[Battle Enthusiast Lacrosa].
He is a partner who has been paired with Golden Axe for a long time.
Even though she is a woman, she carries a huge hammer and is causing a sensation even now.
Why do people who should at least hang out on high mountains in foreign countries come here?
Hwanung had doubts, but he couldn’t figure it out.
I decided not to think much about it other than that it would be a bit of a pain if I got caught in the same session.
The game starts soon.
I didn’t think there was any need to crowd around on this climb.
‘Because there is also PK.’
Those guys were collectively called ‘trollers’.
PK, mob toss, betrayal, and other factors that hinder climbing the tower.
The guys who put it all in perspective were trollers.
Sometimes from other countries, sometimes from hostile mountaineering clubs.
Things were twisted for various reasons.
In particular, these are the ones that always appear in large dungeon-type towers like this.
‘So let’s go to the elite few so as not to be noticed.’
For this climb, I plan to proceed with only R-grade summons.
As for the summons added later, well.
Should I leave it as a secret weapon?
[The game will start in a moment.]
[Start stage]
[Capacity: 90 people]
The game started, and the view was reversed.
Well-maintained bricks and paths stretching here and there.
The climb to the top of the maze has begun.
A structure where you go up by eliminating monsters you encounter.
A boss and a huge reward were waiting at the end.
100:1.
The competition has begun.
“Summons.”
As the will was reflected, only Lucas, Eyasu, and Priest came out.
I also proceeded with the draw and placed it inside my inventory.
You don’t know what kind of people you will meet here or what kind of monsters you will encounter.
Everyone you meet is your enemy, and anyone who looks suspicious must be eliminated.
Because top climbing was like that.
“let’s go.”
“yes.”
“Are you good at finding directions?”
“… … .”
I asked just in case, but there was no answer.
Lucas and Eyasu looked downcast.
Hwanwoong quickly added, looking like he was about to kneel down at any moment in apology.
“Don’t kneel. “Don’t even apologize.”
“… … .”
“You see right through our hearts.”
“I was just asking just in case, so don’t worry about it. “Let’s go quickly.”
“… … yes.”
Eyasu and Lucas looked at him for a moment and then walked ahead.
The priests just quietly folded their hands and prayed, without any particular reaction.
Now, let’s go.
“There will be zombies and brainwashed soldiers. “I will let you know the patterns of the vampire’s minions from time to time, so respond immediately.”
“All right.”
“You’re a vampire… … . Evil must be purified.”
One of the priests in the middle said.
perhaps?
Hwanwoong thought about what to do and moved forward.
I didn’t know how long I had walked when I heard a growling sound ahead.
Yes, the moment for experimentation has arrived early.
“Priest, they are just undead. Can you purify them?”
“of course.”
“We will purify it according to nature.”
A situation where Priest, not Eyasu and Lucas, was the main player.
Often, you just have to imagine such a scene.
Healers are the most efficient dealers for undead or evil attribute monsters.
Hwanung gave the priest a healing order to test it out.
[Healing Light]
[Heals the target.]
A very simple skill description.
Pure white light flew towards the monster in the form of a sphere.
The monster is [Vampire Slave Soldier].
The result was as Hwanwoong expected.
“Keeeeek-!”
“oh!”
The soldier hit by the sphere exhaled smoke and was in pain.
Then Eyasu and Lucas rushed in and swung their swords.
Suddenly!
Soldiers whose heads were cut off by a clean blow.
The monsters that died on the spot dropped the Lux Crystal and disappeared.
good. Then, since there are four dealers, we can increase the speed.
“Let’s speed up and go.”
“Do you mind if I don’t have to escort you from the back?”
“it’s okay. “I’ve thought about something, so I can move on now.”
“All right. “Joo Gong.”
If I didn’t make it into the top 90, I was automatically eliminated, so I was going to focus on breaking through now.
And if your guess is correct, there will be no need to have escort troops in the rear.
If someone surprises you, it won’t be ‘on purpose’.
Hwanung increased his speed and went through the maze.
And I met the troller sooner than expected.
#2
Unknown people were chasing someone.
Unless the tower was exposed on broadcast, there was no way to find out what was going on inside.
There were people aiming for that and trampling on innocent beginners, so the name of their mountain climbing club was [Death Valley].
Death Valley, who was chasing a crew of two women and three men, was giggling and chatting.
“The avatar was really well chosen.”
“I know. “Does the equipment you have look pretty good?”
“You clearly look like a beginner. “What are you doing without preparing for a surprise attack?”
It was like that.
In places like mazes, the normal position is to place warriors or tankers last.
Because you never know when an enemy will pop out from behind.
That’s why it’s called a beginner.
Because I can’t pay attention to the details.
The Death Valley crew members crept closer and waited for their battle to end.
Coincidentally, this is a huge terrain with an opening on both sides.
It was the perfect place to ambush and kill one person, then push back with numbers.
They quietly drew their weapons and waited for the perfect timing.
‘now?’
‘yet. ‘Wait a little longer.’
‘First the arrows. okay?’
These were people who seemed to have done this once or twice before being hit with just a look.
Klik-.
There was the sound of one of the five pulling the bowstring.
The target is the man in the back who appears to be a Sherpa.
First, get rid of the porter first and then attack the rest.
If you finish it quickly, there won’t be any wasted stamina.
‘huh?’
It was only for a split second that the person who was pulling the bowstring felt something uncomfortable.
Obviously they don’t know anything, but it feels like someone is watching.
I lost focus for a moment and looked around, but there was nothing around.
‘What are you doing! ‘Shoot quickly!’
Next to me, the crew leader noticed.
okay.
The enemy does not know where they are or what they are trying to do.
so… … shoot
‘That’s right. fool.’
The archer planned to use his skills to finish it all at once.
Among the unequipped beginners, no one has survived even after taking this blow.
At least those with the equipment and skills survived.
Piiiiing-!
An arrow flew through the air.
The arrow that flew with a lot of blue light had enough power to pierce even steel.
The moment the arrow flew in a straight line and hit the back of the man’s head, a terrifying roar was heard.
Quaaaaang-!
The aura exploded and a thick cloud of dust rose up.
The Death Valley crew members ran forward, starting with the sight of someone yelling something and the people in front all turning around.
“haha-!”
“Give everything you have and get out of the tower!”
“Beginner shack! Don’t look behind you!? Then die, man!”
“What can a beginner do!”
A man and a woman block the crew members running out excitedly.
And a voice was heard in the dust.
“Summons.”
The space opened, and something started to rush out.
Death Valley’s archer, who was watching from afar, realized something was wrong.
Although it was already too late to regret it.
#3
[Summon Invincible]
I was surprised when I was attacked.
Although it prevented the damage, it could not prevent the roaring noise and thick dust.
I thought my ears were dropping.
However, it was somewhat within the expected range.
This was a situation I often encountered when I was working as a Sherpa.
They mainly targeted and made surprise attacks on Sherpas, who were at the very rear and without whom climbing would be a hassle.
This is because the subsequent climb is not easy without a Sherpa.
‘That’s why I didn’t intentionally place personnel in the back.’
“What, what are these?”
“I’m sorry, but can you please stop telling me about my abilities?”
N-class summons rushed out and quickly gained a numerical advantage.
Isn’t the true joy of a summoner being to press down on a quantity?
The group of summoned beasts attacking Eyasu and Lucas at the head was like a disaster.
“I dare you, Master!”
Blue aura flowed from the tip of Lucas’ sword.
Other summoned beasts threw themselves to create an opening.
Lucas’s sword cut through the gap and cut off the Death Valley crew member’s throat.
Suddenly!
An avatar that disappears without even being able to scream.
Now the number is down to four.
“Oh, this is crazy-!?”
“It’s running away.”
“Where?”
Eyasu, whose agility exceeded 40, moved like the wind.
The archer also tried to escape using his quick feet, but Eyasu was already following closely behind.
In addition, N-class summons attacked and hindered the escape.
“Damn, what are all these!?”
“For the crime of trying to target the Duke of Zhou’s body, pay with your life.”
A voice that is cold yet full of anticipation.
He quickly grabbed the arrow and fired, but Eyasu avoided the crushing blow with his miraculous movements.
There is a 30% chance of avoiding an enemy attack due to the effect of [Follow the Wind].
“Oh my god! “What on earth!”
“Die, you piece of trash.”
The screams were drowned out by Eyasu’s cold words.
[Storm Blade]
Her thighs began to dance brilliantly.
It was the moment when the summoner’s abilities were revealed for the first time.
