21. Mission Type, Survival (4)
The corpses of Gide and Hanson are buried among the goblins and are nowhere to be seen.
Hundreds and thousands of pairs of red eyes are looking at us.
“Jenna, can you see the wall behind your back?”
“I see.”
“Climb that wall.”
A high wall against which we stand. Above it is the roof of the building. Jenna glanced behind her.
“Then I’ll run away alone.”
“Whoever wants it? If you climb, I will climb next. Next, Aaron. You go up first and extend your hand.”
“all right.”
Aaron’s appearance is not words.
I can’t even afford to talk, I’m breathing heavily.
“Come! Aaron, hold your seat!”
“I’ll go first!”
Jenna started climbing the stone wall.
“Kiyaaaa!”
Dozens of goblins swarmed at once. I cut like a half circle. The goblins’ chests revealed their inner flesh. Aaron also swung the spear roughly.
“Don’t use the sting! Not one at a time!”
I blocked the sword attack with my shield and then struck.
The number of goblins he had to deal with at the same time increased dramatically. No country can block and avoid it. Scratches began to appear all over the place.
“It’s all up! Come quickly!”
“Goes!”
I squeezed my strength and swung it long. The goblins were cut to pieces.
And immediately I turned my back and climbed the stone wall. There is a gap where you can step on and climb up.
[03:12]
“Aaron, come up too!”
“…”
“Can’t you hear me!”
Aaron, who suddenly came to his senses, turned around.
“Oh, I can’t hear you. Go, go, go!”
“Hold your hand.”
Jenna held out her hand. I took her bloodstained hand and climbed onto her roof. Below was Aaron, who hurriedly climbed up.
“Take my hand.”
I put my hand on the roof.
Just as Aaron was about to climb up holding his hand.
“Ouch!”
Aaron groaned.
“…”
A knife was thrust into Aaron’s calf.
The knife was deeply embedded in a crack in the wall.
“I-I won’t be…”
“Jenna, hold Aaron.”
I grabbed the edge of the roof and went down the wall.
“What are you trying to do?”
“Cut off your foot. When you cut it, pull it up right away.”
“……all right.”
While holding the roof with his left hand, he swung the sword in his right hand vigorously.
It’s a posture that doesn’t work well, but you have to cut it at once. He remembered the feeling of cutting down a straw scarecrow with one blow.
“Aaaagh!”
One of Aaron’s legs fell into the clearing, dripping with blood.
“Pull it up!”
Jenna grabbed Aaron’s right hand with both hands and pulled him up.
The hot blood flowing from the severed leg soaked his face.
“Two.”
I spit out the blood that had entered my mouth and climbed back to the roof.
[‘Aaron (★)’ is suffering from bleeding. Stamina decreases for a certain period of time.]
Aaron seemed to have no strength to struggle, and he slumped on the roof.
I looked down at the roof.
“Ha, really.”
Countless goblins gathered under the roof. The goblin looked up at us and squeaked.
“Is it done?”
“Do you think so?”
A goblin fell down. Another goblin climbed on top of it and fell down. The goblins started building pyramids.
“Wow, that’s smart.”
“Smart ass!”
The goblin at the top was able to pick up a crack in the stone wall. The goblin who built the stairs like that gradually climbed up the wall.
I checked the roof. The broken roof was littered with broken pieces of brick. I threw a brick at the goblins below.
“Quek!”
The goblin, hit by a brick in the nose, fell.
“Don’t let me come up!”
“yes!”
[01:58]
All the bricks were gone.
Now goblins were coming up from all sides. Jenna held her dagger in her reverse hand.
[‘Aaron (★)’ has fallen into a dying state. Your life is in danger!]
Aaron is stretched out like a corpse.
It’s not dead, but it won’t be long. The bleeding was too much.
“Use Aaron’s spear. Stab them as they come!”
Jenna grabbed the blade of the dagger with her index and middle fingers and threw it. The dagger stuck between the goblin’s forehead.
Picking up the spear, Jenna began stabbing it downward. I also raised my sword and stabbed the goblins that came up.
The goblins at the top fell, taking the ones below as their companions. But there were more people coming up than people falling.
If you drop a goblin on one wall, the goblin on the other wall will come up, and if you go to that wall, it will come back up from the original wall.
‘Another place to run… … .’
I looked around as I kicked the goblins who were trying to reach for the roof.
‘damn.’
The other roofs are already occupied by goblins. They were glaring at us with their eyes shining bright red.
“Kyaaaagh!”
“What is it, did you get stabbed?!”
I looked behind me hastily.
It would be difficult for Jenna to suffer here. I couldn’t close the slope on my own.
Jenna was holding onto her right arm.
He wasn’t hurt, but he didn’t have the spear he had.
“I missed the window.”
“I’m going to make the liver fall!”
“Now what?”
“What can I do? Kick it and drop it!”
Jenna lay down on the slope of the roof and kicked the goblin in the face as it came up. He screamed and fell out.
[01:24]
“Kiyi, kiyi!”
Dozens of hands waved under the wall and grabbed the sword. The green skin was cut and bleeding, but the goblins didn’t care and drew their swords.
“Kuk!”
Without hesitation, I let go of the sword. It was swallowed up in waves of black goblins and disappeared.
All that was left was a shield that was dented and covered in blood.
I placed my hand on the roof with the corner of the shield. The severed goblin’s fingers flew through the air, spraying blood.
“Too, too many! How many are left? I can’t stand it any longer!”
“30 seconds, only 30 seconds!”
“It seems like an hour has passed!”
“It’s true, just believe once and hold on a little longer!”
[00:32]
My vision is blurry.
His right eye was covered in blood and he couldn’t see well.
I can’t tell if it’s my blood or the goblin’s blood.
The body was asking for a break.
stop resting now that you’ve had enough
grit it
I was determined to become weak.
can’t die here I also have something called pride. On the 5th floor, still on the 5th floor!
Finally one stepped onto the roof.
He slashed his head with the edge of his shield. As he fell, he swung his sword. His right arm was deeply cut. His blood spurted out.
[‘Han (★)’ is suffering from bleeding. Stamina decreases for a certain period of time.]
Unreasonable.
I couldn’t understand why I had to go through high school in a place like this.
There was nothing like this on Earth. I slept in a warm place and ate a delicious meal.
why me.
why me!
[Skill awakening!]
[‘Han (★)’ has learned the skill ‘Brazil’!]
“이 개새끼야!”
I tossed my shield at the goblin who was just climbing up.
A short scream came from the side.
“Ugh!”
[‘Jenna(★)’ is suffering from bleeding. Stamina decreases for a certain period of time.]
“Have you not died yet?”
“It’s okay, I can hold on.”
A dagger is embedded in Jenna’s side.
The hem of the dress was dyed red.
Aaron is showing the whites. Her body trembled. Blood gushed intermittently from the severed leg.
It wouldn’t be strange if he died at any time.
“Don’t die! Just don’t die until the end! Then you can go back.”
“I-I think I’ve come this far…”
“Shut up!”
can’t stop anymore
Dozens of goblins climbed onto the roof at once.
“Retreat, go inside the roof, go inside the roof.”
“It’s inside and there’s no space!”
“If you go, go!”
I lost feeling in my right arm.
The world is spinning in circles, as if I had anemia.
“Kerr, Kerrrrrrak!”
“I want to kill me. Okay, come in, come in, baby!”
No sword or shield.
You can’t even recognize how many seconds are left.
I can’t care what happened to Jenna.
“Kiaaa!”
Dozens of goblins charged at the same time.
The blood-soaked blade tried to tear the whole body apart.
and.
[00:00]
As if time had stopped, the goblins stopped pointing their swords at me.
[Stage cleared!]
[‘Han(★)’, ‘Jenna(★)’, ‘Aaron(★)’, level up!]
[Reward – 30,000G, Iron Ore (B) X 3, Leather (B) X 2, Plank (B) X 2]
[MVP – ‘Han(★)’]
“…”
The landscape of the ruined city, countless goblins, and the corpses of Gide and Hanson disappear into the light.
White light enveloped my whole body, repairing my wounds. Feeling returns to the arms, lungs that are about to burst breathe again, and torn muscles recover.
The dagger lodged in Jenna’s side fell of its own accord, and new flesh sprouted from Aaron’s severed leg.
“Ah, ahahaha.”
Jenna sat down with a dejected smile.
“Can you hold my hand? My leg is broken and I can’t get up.”
I held out my hand without a word.
Jenna held her hand, staggered several times, then got herself up.
“Are we alive?”
“……okay.”
It was a familiar room.
[Climb the tower, save the world!]
[Main Dungeon: Current number of floors to climb – 5]
The message on the left mirror announced the clearing.
Kurur.
The waiting room started to rise with a familiar vibrating sound.
Aaron is lying on the floor of the space-time gap.
It doesn’t seem to be conscious, but it is breathing regularly.
This guy also survived.
“Is it like this from the 5th floor?
“This was unusual.”
reviewed the battle.
A passage divided into three parts. swarming goblins.
It was a structure in which annihilation was forced if even one person failed to do their part. If Gide and Hanson had been raised a little more, they wouldn’t have had to fight so desperately.
Survival missions aren’t that difficult once you have a party. It’s just that I was unlucky at this timing when I was most vulnerable.
I picked up the iron sword and shield lying on the floor.
The bloody equipment was also neatly restored.
“Ah, that’s really too much! If I had known it would be like this, I would have trained harder!”
Jenna sighed and hung the bow and quiver on her back.
His voice was bright, but his complexion was not.
Gide and Hanson are dead.
I picked up the fallen Aaron.
When I came out to the square, Dika came running as if I had been waiting for it.
“Brother, thank you for your hard work!”
I walked silently towards the inn.
“Are Gide and Hansson in? Chloe-sister prepared something delicious.”
“It’s dead.”
“yes?”
“It’s dead.”
Deca froze as she stood.
I ignored it and went into the dorm.
Several people in the lobby cast their eyes on me. I put Aaron on the couch in the lobby. Place it next to the window. Now that your wounds have healed, you will come to your senses.
[Master calls. The person being called comes out!]
Isel’s shouts were heard in the plaza.
It seems to be trying to foster a sub-party on the lower floors.
‘My head hurts.’
I don’t intend to be immersed in emotions just because someone in the waiting room died.
In this place, moreover, death would be a daily routine for me, who runs the forefront of the tower. But I couldn’t help but have a headache.
Open the door at the far end of the hallway and enter. It was my room assigned at the hostel. Now I’m used to this place, which is not a modern house.
I threw myself on the bed.
[Congratulations, Master! You cleared the 5th floor safely. Daily dungeons will be open from now on. Collect various materials to strengthen the waiting room and heroes.]
As I cleared the 5th floor, a message announcing the opening of the daily dungeon came to my mind.
‘Come to think of it, did you get the berserk skill… … .’
Calmness and brilliance cannot coexist.
It was an obvious bug.
Calmness that allows you not to lose your reason in any situation,
A berserk that dramatically increases combat power at the cost of reason.
It must be related to my constitution, which seems to be a half-mix of master and hero.
I don’t know yet. At least today, I didn’t want to think about it.
From tomorrow I will be busy again.
It was almost close to 10, the limit level of 1 star, and a daily dungeon where materials could be obtained was also opened. Now it was time to aim for the 2-star promotion.
So, let’s take a break today.
I closed my eyes.
