147. Lost, Gained (1)
The next evening, the first party’s training camp.
I was sitting in a chair with my sword in my lap.
In the center of the square room is a steel doll for practice. There are no other decorations. This was a personal training site set up for me.
There is no special training schedule today.
There will be no training for a while.
I came to this room just to organize my thoughts.
‘The damage is great.’
The attack on the 35th floor ended with success, but the process was regrettable.
The death of Iolka, the only elementalist, was a huge loss, and the 3rd party, which was supposed to be in charge of one axis of the power, suffered damage close to annihilation. In addition, most of the promising players who grew up through the 30th floor died in vain.
There are currently four survivors in the 1st and 2nd parties.
And Kishasha from the 3rd party and a few others. It was considerable damage.
Like it or not, it will take a long time for power replenishment and maintenance.
I scratched the back of my head.
The expected period required for re-attacking the tower is more than one month.
The more I thought about it, the more my back hurt.
Even with Iolka, the third party was a problem.
According to Jenna, Kishasha locked herself in the third party’s dorm and did not come out.
The 3rd party was a force comparable to ours, but it was half destroyed due to the penalty of the water environment and various unfortunate bad news. Even if they wanted to replenish their staff, the odds of a non-human race appearing were extremely rare. It was an actual annihilation.
breathed out low.
There were a lot of things to be done, but we decided to implement them after examining what we could do one by one.
clap.
I pulled the sword out of the scabbard.
A doll made of steel in front. It was an excellent item made with all the strength of the equipment workshop.
After I got into my stance, I drew my sword to the side.
Kwajik! Sparks flew and the doll dented in the middle. But that’s it. The power of destroying a water dragon and a golem at once did not come out.
Exceed, and the sword soul.
These are the two skills I acquired on the 35th floor.
Exceed’s ferocity and composure, plus indomitability and continuation of battle, and Blade Soul’s combination of new swordsmanship and strong attack. As both are my own unique skills, I needed an analysis to use them smoothly.
‘Originally, I had to test the performance while repeating sparring and real battles.’
I looked at the hologram window on the right side of my field of vision.
The patch log updated in the last update came to mind.
<For Master!>
[Convenience update, the first!]
[Are you curious about the hero’s skills? Stop rummaging through strategies!]
[Easy to see the skill window! Easy! conveniently! Reorganized! Viva!]
[One. From now on, we provide detailed specifications of the skill. After touching the skill in the status window… … .]
Convenience update.
If you look at the contents, it guides you through the detailed effects of skills that you have not been able to fully understand until now. It was written that there was no need to go through the troublesome skill database of the strategy site.
‘The world has improved a lot.’
I had to roll them one by one.
I opened the status window feeling a sense of alienation.
[Han Israt (★★★) Lv. 34 (Exp 280/340)]
[Class: Warrior]
[Strength: 75/75]
[Intelligence: 10/10]
[Health: 68/68]
[Agility: 66/66]
[Possessed Skills: Intermediate Swordsmanship (Lv.4), Exceed (Lv.1), Sword Spirit (Lv.1), Mind’s Eye (Lv.6), Fire Resistance (Lv.3), Dragon Kill (Lv.1)]
Once the skill window has been changed.
Skills such as cavalry or underwater combat disappeared into other spaces.
From now on, those skills are classified as auxiliary systems and can be viewed separately.
After touching the letter written ‘Exceed’, I pressed the ‘View Details’ tab.
[Exceed (Lv.1)]
[Rating: B+]
[Type: Unique]
[Increases combat power by causing the user’s body to run out of control. However, the user’s vitality is deducted as much as the ability is raised. It can reach up to death.]
[Attribute: Immune to abnormal conditions, Continuation of battle]
[Remark: Exclusive skill of ‘Han Israt (★★★)’]
The effect of the skill was as expected.
Instead of increasing combat power, it puts a strain on the body.
In severe cases, you may die.
That’s not wrong.
Actually, it almost happened.
Next, I checked the sword soul.
[Sword Soul (Lv.1)]
[Rating: B-]
[Type: Unique, Link, Double]
[Passive: Activated during peacetime. Adds a power correction to the user’s swordsmanship.]
[Active: Can be activated in Exceed state. Gather all the amplified combat power into one point and launch a penetrating slash. Part of the damage inflicted is suffered by the user. It can reach up to death.]
[Attribute: Fixed Damage]
[Remark: Exclusive skill of ‘Han Israt (★★★)’]
Description It’s bloody once.
If you use both skills incorrectly, you could die.
However, its power is certain.
Having experienced it myself, I cannot deny it.
unique skill.
It was the concept and identity of the hero.
It can be obtained by breaking through limits, and has enormous potential that is several times greater than that of normal skills.
It was the part I paid most attention to when developing a hero.
Stats are just the foundation, and in the end, the final performance of a hero is determined by how skills combine to exert synergy.
I straightened my sword and lowered my lower body.
basic posture. I moved my hands while giving elasticity to my legs and waist.
At the same time, I flipped a switch in my head with the feeling of using berserk fire.
‘Float.’
[‘Han (★★★)’ has entered an exceed state!]
Wooddeuk.
I felt my bones break, and intense pain ran through my body.
A feeling of being torn apart. Through the status window, I was able to realize the risk of Exceed that I had not known about.
“Kuk!”
I hesitated and released Exceed.
My whole body felt like it was on fire.
‘It’s a skill that cuts down on durability.’
can’t keep for long
No matter what happened on the 35th floor due to the aftermath of the awakening, it would not be easy to get there from next time. Every time I wrote it, I had to risk my life. I caressed my numb wrist.
‘About 10 seconds at most.’
If you activate more than that, your life will be in danger.
It was a continuous skill, but as of now, I can only use it temporarily.
I sat down in my chair and remembered how to use it.
‘At the end of the mission, I have no choice but to activate Exceed and then move on to the Bladed Soul.’
It was a kind of death penalty.
Used when you can definitely finish.
‘I want this.’
Are you completely self-destructive?
I knew that similar skills would emerge. But I didn’t expect it to be like this.
I woke up again. A little more precise calculation was needed.
‘Once more.’
[‘Han (★★★)’ has entered an exceed state!]
A cold fire enveloped his entire body.
Grinding my teeth until they bleed, I prepared for the next move.
He grabbed the hilt of his sword and swung his sword while maintaining his composure until the end.
bang!
With the sound of exploding bombs, the steel dolls in front disappeared without a trace.
As if breaking the steel wasn’t enough, deep cuts were carved into the metal wall in front. I threw away my sword. And fell to the sprawl.
‘… … ha.’
It’s tricky.
I felt dizzy.
The power of the skill was excellent.
However, it was not possible to bring out the full potential of the skill in this way.
at last,
‘Enough to withstand the recoil.’
makes the body stronger
The body has already entered the realm of a superman, but it is absurdly lacking.
A skill that greatly increased the durability of the body was needed.
You need to work your body to the extreme.
Pain tolerance training is considered ridiculous.
I got up while making plans for tomorrow.
[Loki! News to tell… … Wow!]
Isel appeared right next to him and screamed.
[Why is your body covered in blood? Why is the room so messy again!]
“Because I’m training.”
[What kind of training are you doing here!]
“It’s not like this once or twice. What’s going on?”
After roughly tidying up the messy room, I put a sheath on my belt.
Isel cleared his throat a couple of times and then looked at me.
[You did that last time. Please let me know when the master uploads a strategy video.]
“Was it?”
[I remember it clearly. That’s why I was watching Mutube every day with a hawk’s eye.]
“Did Amkena upload the video?”
Issel nodded.
[I did upload a video. Excluding the 35th floor.]
“Did you skip the 35th floor?”
[Yes, I did download it.]
It was on the 15th floor that Amkena began recording images.
Does that mean that the 15th and 20th floors were raised? But except for the 35th floor. It did do a lot of damage. Still, it was a video that could be quite popular in terms of urgency.
[I’ll show you anyway.]
Issel threw his arms in a circle.
[Ha! Fairy Power!]
Light gathered from the right side of the field of view, and an Internet window appeared.
A triangle in the shape of a play on a red square. He was the icon of Mu-Tube.
I manipulated the cursor and went into Amkena’s channel.
indeed.
New photos and videos have been uploaded. I touched the video in the front.
<Han Israt – 15th and 20th Floor Attack Video>
the video is okay
The contents of attacking the 15th and 20th floors.
‘The number of views is quite high.’
exceeded 300,000.
I passed the video with an emotionless expression.
<Comments 1143>
<Cheerful shot>
[The more I look at it, the better the hero looks. It’s not very strong, but I feel like I understand the rules well. Although it seems dangerous, it is easy to clear after passing it. Well done.]
└<Reply – Troll Pick Hana>
[Not very strong, but? How strong are you? In my eyes, it’s at least 4 stars.]
└<Reply – Kaiza999>
[Have you not seen the real monster? Come and see Loki’s video. Since Siris ate it all by herself.]
└<Reply – Loki hides his power>
[That’s what Loki raised well. If you look at the early video, Siris is also good. But he’s been eating like this since he was low level. Isn’t Tae 1 star? He is more of a monster.]
└<Reply – Sirisjang>
[I want to lick Siris armpit. Licking!]
<Maksamissami>
[Is there a video on the 35th floor? I think he would have destroyed the 35th floor as well. Please upload soon!]
└<Reply – Candy in your ears>
[Hasn’t it been quite a while since the 30th floor was raised? Aren’t you dead?]
└<Reply – Bus Chungtukbaegi Hurrigi>
[It could be. This person only knows how to ride the bus, let’s not do anything. No matter how good a hero is, there is a limit alone.]
<Is this a game>
[No matter who rolls hard all day, the hero is still rolling on the 20th floor. Someone gets lucky and climbs vertically with one hero. is this a game? Isn’t Moebius ruined?]
└
[Yes. It’s fun, but the balance is shit. If I had picked him, he would have pierced the 50th floor now. Is this a game!]
<Reunion>
[We are looking for super elite clan members who will control Server 2. More details… … .]
[It’s a waste of a hero. I picked the wrong master. If you’re like me, you don’t upload videos because you’re embarrassed. The tactic is still missing. Just look. Please do something. Did you sell it if you couldn’t afford it? I will live expensively.]
I scrolled all the way down.
The responses of the comments could be summarized in three points.
Please upload the next video soon. One luck was born really well. Finally, ‘Hero is not worth it.’
In the second half of the comments, the majority of the opinion was that the hero was a waste compared to the master.
what are you doing behind the scenes Why are you waving a useless fluorescent stick? Why are you taking screenshots? After a few active instigations, the comment section became dirty to a level close to personal attacks.
[joy! stupid stuff. It’s because I’m envious. He’s jealous because he doesn’t have a hero like Loki.]
Issel inflated his cheeks.
Was the ID Lollipop?
Fact violence was blown away painfully.
I think the purpose of posting a comment is a bit lame.
‘Do nothing behind the scenes.’
It was not wrong. Although the Master could not directly intervene in the mission, he could influence it in other ways.
tactical post.
It was a facility where the Master could be involved in missions.
However, this is a double-edged sword. I’ve seen masters annihilate the party for fooling around when they don’t know anything about it dozens of times. That’s why I haven’t said anything to Amkena until now.
However, after the failure on the 35th floor, I also changed my mind a bit.
I closed the Internet window with a wry smile.
[Welcome to Pick Me Up!]
At the same time, Amkena connected.
[Loading has finished.]
[TOUCH ! (selection)]
As soon as Amkenna logged in, he entered the Facility tab.
Extraordinarily quick touch. Emotions were felt.
[Build the facility. Please touch the type of facility you want.]
[You have selected ‘Tactical Post Lv.1’. Would you like to build that building?]
[Yes / No]
Amkena touched ‘Yes’ without hesitation.
‘Are you mad at me for calling me a bus bug?’
I grinned.
