Chapter 133

Episode 133 Team Play (3)

The 4th floor Tower in the Sky is a stage structure.

When you complete the ordeal, the door opens and you choose one of the three stairs to go to the stage above.

For reference, there were a total of four types of stairs.

courage wisdom perseverance and destiny.

Until now, we have never taken the stairs of destiny.

First of all, the appearance rate was less than 5% compared to other stairs……

Because there are too many variables in the stairs of destiny.

I didn’t have to choose.

Until all three doors came out as destiny.

“Hmm, isn’t it just a matter of entering anything? In the past, nothing happened. Monsters just came out normally and that was it.”

Of course, fate is not necessarily dangerous.

As Misha just said, most of us face trials of courage, wisdom and perseverance even when we choose our destiny.

But…

“That seems to be Ms. Mischa’s luck. According to the book, it is said that the trials that will come out are random.”

The problem is that there is a 20% chance that you will go through a different type of ordeal instead of the three types of stairs.

A total of 32 types existed in the game.

Returning to the first floor, level 5 monsters appearing, suddenly being locked in a closed room, etc.

‘There were a lot of things that were filthy and difficult, and rewarded, but rather openly fucked.’

So, if you came to hunt, fate was an ordeal you had to pass unconditionally.

Well, things are a little different now.

That was when I was organizing my thoughts.

“Why are you still, Bjorn?”

Team members who were discussing what to do in the future ask for my opinion.

“First of all, we came to the consensus that it would be better to go anywhere. Isn’t it a bit regretful to throw away the remaining days like this?”

I nodded in agreement.

“That’s right.”

Second half of the 4th floor.

At his current hunting speed, he could mine up to 300,000 stones in four days.

Not before dividing by five, but on a per capita basis.

After entering the labyrinth, most of the travel time was consumed, so each day here is directly related to the total income.

Yes, it was natural to think so.

‘There’s no way they know what this means.’

On the 4th floor, three stairs of destiny never open at the same time.

If it does, that means one thing.

That you have reached a special stage.

That’s why it became possible to enter three types of hidden fields.

‘……Is the probability 1/3?’

I looked at the three doors and pondered which one to choose.

And on the way, I realized something and laughed.

“Misha.”

“huh?”

“You choose where to go.”

It’s clear that I can’t choose.

***

Misha looks at the rest of the team as if asking for a doctor.

All three of them just shrugged their shoulders as if they believed in Mischa’s choice.

“Ah, this is burdensome…”

Eventually, Misha sighed, glared at me, and approached one of the open doors. The door located in the front of the stairs we climbed up.

“I’ll tell you in advance, but I don’t know if a strange monster suddenly appears?”

The dwarf giggled as Misha bought the insurance.

“Hahaha what are you talking about? Are you trying to avoid responsibility?”

“…What? Such a crazy dwarf!”

“Hey Hikuro, please stop. Mischa is not in trouble……”

Team Banpun’s unique bickering pattern that repeats three times a day.

He sighed, looked to the side, met Rotmiller’s eyes, and smiled awkwardly, as usual.

“Now, why don’t you all stop and go?”

As Rotmiller took the lead, clearing the atmosphere, everyone stopped their conversation and stood in formation.

bang!

The door closed and darkness came.

Darkness that is difficult to distinguish even an inch ahead.

Courage Exploration Perseverance. For a while, everyone was taken aback by the introduction, which was different from any other trials.

Rottmiller murmured briefly.

The most important information when faced with an unfamiliar situation.

“I don’t have enemies right now.”

presence or absence of enemies.

Rotmiller first reported this to his colleagues and then warned them.

“Stay still. There may be a trap.”

Either way, he’s a great explorer.

I must have judged it in a short moment.

what you have to do

Of course, this was no different for the dwarf.

“I’ll take care of Bjorn, so just pay attention to the front.”

A serious voice that erased the laughter. Sёarch* The Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

The moment the voices of the two rang out simultaneously, the darkness around them dissipated.

A straight path branched in all directions like a maze.

A torch that hangs on the wall at regular intervals and creates a spooky atmosphere.

I quickly checked my surroundings and came to a conclusion.

“The character has entered the Larcas maze.”

The Larcas maze.

One of the three hidden fields in the Sky Tower.

The characteristic is that in this maze, even the guide cannot demonstrate its ability.

And…….

「Field effect – Guardian of balance is granted」 「

The stats of

the entrants are adjusted equally

」 Did I choose the wrong one? Rotmiller!”

Misha checked her surroundings and looked at Rotmiller with an uneasy look.

But he couldn’t help but be able to answer.

“I’m sorry. I don’t have any information about this phenomenon either.”

“Neither do I. I’ve never heard of a phenomenon that draws explorers to places like this during the trials of fate.”

“Ah, isn’t that dangerous…?”

At Misha’s words, all the members shut their mouths tightly.

It was natural.

It’s ironic, but the most feared thing for explorers was the unknown.

“…….”

A chilly silence fell.

However, that time was not long.

The guys who start talking urgently like the silence from a while ago is a lie.

“…How about just staying still? There are only four days left, so we’ll just have to hold on.”

“We don’t know about this space yet. If it’s a space with a structure similar to a rift…

”

All sorts of speculations and anxieties pour in.

Well, I don’t know if it’s the 5th floor, where information sharing is rarely done, but how did I know that I would fall in a place like this on the 4th floor.

“Why don’t we check our status first?”

“huh?”

“Misha, have you changed anything?”

Pretending not to know anything, I induced them to check their condition first.

“Oh, come to think of it… Strangely, I feel like my body has become a little lighter.”

Misha’s reaction was lengthy.

“Well, I’m not sure. Isn’t it an illusion?”

The dwarf didn’t notice any change, as if he had exactly average stats among the group.

Unlike Rotmiller or Dwalki.

“It’s not an illusion. There’s no way you wouldn’t recognize it when your body is overflowing with vitality.”

“Me too. The amount of magic power has increased a lot. At this level, even 6th grade magic wouldn’t be too much, but what the heck did this happen…” What happened, what happened

.

It’s all gone out of my muscles.

Even though there were only three integers, they were all integers with ridiculously high stats.

damn communism.

‘How much is the muscle loss…?’

I spread the weight of the mace, which had become very heavy, on the floor.

The first to notice this behavior was Misha.

“Bjorn? Where are you sick?”

“My body feels strange. For some reason, I keep getting weak.”

“What?”

While Misha worriedly approached me.

Rotmiller came up with a guess.

“It’s clear that there are certain conditions. It’s not like it’s a space where everyone becomes stronger.”

“Conditions? What are the conditions that make me weak and you guys strong? This isn’t fair!”

Pretending to ask again, I quietly threw a hint.

Then, as expected, Rotmiller came up with a fairly plausible hypothesis.

No, what did you even call it a hypothesis?

“Maybe we have a mix of abilities……”

“Huh? What does that mean?”

“I’m not sure yet, so I’ll let you know when it’s sorted out later.”

Well, I think I can explain to them what this is without me having to step out.

I slowly moved on to the next one.

Because I was running out of time to keep messing around.

“Then what do we do now?”

“What do you think, Bjorn?”

“I think it’s only right to explore this place and find a way out.”

“The reason is?”

I answered without any hesitation.

“Doesn’t that mean that if you’re in a place that others don’t know about, the rewards are as great as that?”

“It’s a very explorer-like point of view.”

In spite of Rotmiller’s appreciation, he straightened his shoulders proudly.

No matter what you say, the ultimate goal of the explorer is money.

In fact, my motivation also became clear.

“Well, in four days, I might be trapped here, but it’s a bit like staying still…?”

“Hahaha, aren’t we also famous explorers?

There was even a small enthusiasm in the eyes of the trio who were nervous and anxious.

Of course, Dwalki’s words were decisive.

“Ah ah! I just heard this, but maybe this is the arrangement left by the last great sage!”

“What? Are you talking about Gabrielius’ arrangement?”

“Certainly… that seems to be possible. The fact that three stairs of destiny appeared at the same time, as well as this bizarre phenomenon.”

Arrangement of Gabrielius.

To put it simply, the people here refer to what I called ‘Hidden Peace’.

The dwarf shouted with aspiration.

“Yeah! Isn’t that the place you came in from the 4th floor anyway? A ridiculous monster won’t appear!”

4 days left until the Labyrinth is closed.

That’s how Team Banpunyi’s final exploration began.

***

Labyrinth of Larcas.

It’s not the type of hidden field I wanted the most when I left it to Mischa to choose.

Yes, the final reward is the best

out of the three, but…

Due to the nature of the field called Maze, it takes a long time.

Finding the boss is also finding it, but it’s because we need a lot of work to defeat him with all our might.

So, I also decided not to overdo it.

Contrary to their worries, it’s not a place where you’ll be trapped if you can’t clear it in time like a crack…

Even if you don’t clear it, there are attractive rewards scattered throughout this maze.

“Then let’s go.”

After standing in formation as we had decided beforehand, we stepped out into the maze in earnest.

“I think we can go on.”

I’m in the lead, and Rottmiller follows close behind, looking for any traps.

Oh, and there is a dwarf at the very back.

That’s right, this isn’t a place where monsters only come out from the front.

“Don’t worry Miss Mischa. I’ll be by your side to protect you.”

“What are you talking about? I have to protect you.”

“Whoops, then let’s protect each other.”

“…That’s what you say.”

Anyway, since it’s such a place, the two main dealers of our team are located in the center.

It’s the safest place, and it’s the front. Because we have to support depending on the situation regardless of whether or not.

[Meek meek meek!]

About 3 minutes after we started exploring in earnest?

A monster appeared at a fork in the road. It was the

first reward of the Larcas maze.

monster you see. Be careful with Bjorn.”

The first monster we meet

is like a sweet rain for us.

[Dungeon and Stone] is a game where even if you kill all the monsters on the 4th floor or lower, you can’t get to level 5 just barely.

It’s contradictory . 6 You

have to have five 7th grade essences to be able to hunt safely on the 5th floor, but you can’t take the 5th level unless you go to the 5th floor

.

Ah, isn’t it enough to go to the 5th floor as a newbie?

I erased unnecessary questions and held the shield with both hands. It’s

a bit awkward since I don’t have a mace…

I put it in my backpack.

I decided it was better to just leave the deal to the dealer.

[Meaek!!!]

The hesitant monster saw us from a distance and screamed and charged at me.

At the same time, Dwalkie shouted,

“Ah. I saw it in the book! Vikundus, a

6th grade monster.

When you think of a bipedal goat, it is easy to associate it.

He is about 2.5m tall including the dignified horns.

For reference, his weapon is a super-large halberd held tightly in both hands.

Quaang -!

As the halberd strikes the shield, the heavy weight is transmitted to the whole body.

I heard from the thought that it was good to give up the mace.

If it was one handed, it would have been difficult to hold on as it is now.

‘Nimiral.’

Is it because I share bloody body values with my colleagues?

It feels like I’m dealing with a 5th grader, not a 6th grade.

Well, there was no difficulty in the battle itself.

“Rioll Warb Dwalki cast the 8th grade auxiliary magic [Ice Enhancement]. .」

「Rioll Warb Dwalki cast the 8th grade attack magic [Ice Lance].」

While I was receiving the attack from the goat head, Dwalki completed a single specialized attack magic. ”

Bjorn !”

I called out and immediately matched the sum and dodged to the side as I came. It

has always happened up to this point.

But what the hell is this?

Fish wow!

It’s different from the size of the ‘ice window’ that passes by.

The wind pressure blowing out is enough to make your skin feel cold. Of course ,

the result of that was also different from usual.

Kwaaaaang-!!

It wouldn’t be strange to say that it was a ‘fireball’ instead of an ‘ice spear

. ‘

He spat out a wind blowing sound.

It was reasonable. Because

Vikundus, a 6th grade monster, had already turned to light and was disappearing.

「Vykundus has been defeated. EXP +4」

It was strange that his body value decreased. “This is

my

magic…?”

I realized as I looked at Dwalki muttering, ”

He’s no longer a half-penny here.

That’s what I mean. ”

support.’

It doesn’t seem too bad to try clear.
