Episode 168

“Hmm. Hmmmm.”

Damian brushed his chin as he pushed his way through the thick mist that covered his eyes. A black fog hung in front of their eyes as they descended the maze of hundreds of spiral staircases.

I have never seen it in a lobby level auditorium, so with the appearance of a dimensional species called a parasite, it is just enough to notice that there is an energy of an unrefined dimension.

However, the fact that the concentration was now so black that it formed a blind spot that could not see an inch ahead was no different from saying that the character’s body was not at a level that could withstand it.

[Notice: WARNING! Warning!]

[Notice: Unrefined dimension energy is getting thicker!]

[Notice: Unrefined dimension energy penetrates!]

....

[Notice: Abnormal status!]

[Notice: Your character is Exposed to power!]

What they had previously encountered in the auditorium was a dimensional energy so thick that it was nothing more than aegyo.

“Does this... seem too dangerous?”

“This is the place...”

While Damian took the lead, Ser Kim narrowed his eyes. As Yuijing said, it was the first kind of dungeon configuration I had ever seen.

If there were no means to stop the dimensional energy that was rushing in every moment, it would have been eaten by the dimensional energy by now and would have died faster than anyone else.

However, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the reason they were able to descend the spiral staircase from the auditorium was none other than Damian’s advice.

“Once you start going down from here, you won’t be able to open exchanges or switch items. The best thing is to equip dimensional equipment... Dimensional equipment can be dropped or crafted only after clearing the twisted dimensional gate, so right now it will cost tens of thousands of gold or more.

” You should have at least 200 of these. It’s good to buy even if the price is a bit burdensome. You’ll get more gold from clearing the twisted portal anyway than the potion cost, so it’s quite possible if you let go of your greed. It’s because phase 2 isn’t a section where you’re going to be a dildo. Ah, if you are a dimension magician of the legendary class, or if Ser Kim has awakened the power of the Vampire Lord at least level 3, or if you have the ability to immortality, then you do not need to prepare a potion.

” The fact that he was able to pass without hesitation was possible only because of the potion hit by money power, not relying on any special magical effect.

“As Damian-nim said... If I didn’t hit the potion, I might have just died. There is absolutely no way to destroy this...”

“How did Damian know in advance? Has anyone around you broken the twisted dimension door beforehand?”

“I know that the way to clear the twisted dimension gate is different for that kind of thing. If you look at what is uploaded on AOL, it is different by continent and region.”

Ssuk-suk-suk-deok!

As Damian walked down the spiral staircase with unstoppable strides, Viole and his party murmured while drinking potions.

There was no doubt that it was not the first time.

Unlike Ser Kim and the others, who are finding it difficult to manage their own HP, Damian was leading the spiral staircase with countless forked roads without any indication.

Moreover, considering the fact that it periodically manages even the HP of that person who is being dragged and bound due to the penalty of the bet, Damian’s current control could be said to be at the level of an octopus foot.

It was said that it was not a play of a nature that could be easily followed.

“Oops! Replying to @DragonBall

“Stay still, human!”

“Uuuuuuuuuuu!!”

...Of course, it was a flaw if it was something that had nothing to do with the person’s intentions.

“From now on, you won’t have to take potions.”

After a while, Damian’s words continued.

“Did I mention that the Warped Portal is divided into three gateways? The first is to block the waves of monsters pouring out as a defense mechanism, the second is to break through the gimmick created by the portal to hide its location, and the third is to destroy the guardian guarding the portal and the contaminated resonance stone. .”

Woo woo woo woo!

As Damian pointed to the 100-pyeong-wide purple flat stone spread out like a checkerboard, the dreary sound of the wind rang again.

It was the sound they heard as they set foot down here in the great auditorium.

Like howling ghosts who have strange stories somewhere, it is the bleak voice that draws attention even more than Damian’s explanation and the purple aura emitted by the checkerboard-like space.

“And... this phase actually has a gimmick that is rarely seen even in the twisted portals of the Southern Continent. It’s a gimmick that takes too long if I’m alone, and it’s actually not a method with a very high success rate. It’s important to go safely. safety.”

Woo-woo-woo-woo... Woo-woo...!

Eventually, as Damian continued his explanation of the twisted portal, the grotesque cries that hovered in the air suddenly died down as if it had never happened.

At the same time, the sharp air that quickly became cold was a bonus.

“Pheh...!”

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

A terrifying scream rang out while Viole, who was standing in the middle of nowhere, shouted.

It happened at the same time that something black fell like lightning on the checkerboard-like space where they were standing.

However, the reason why they couldn’t move hastily even in a situation where everyone in the party had to be flagship was because Damian stretched out his hand toward the party and restrained their movement.

“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!”

“That damn guy?!”

All of a sudden, the waist bent like a bow and the two eyes protruded, so it could be said that it happened in just a moment.

“Ugh...! Ugh...! ugrrg brubb bum...!!”

Rattle rattle rattle rattle!

At the same time, the body of the mateak began to jump mercilessly like a loach sprinkled with salt.

“The gimmick of the Forgotten Tower is that everyone survives and reaches this place, the lowest floor of the castle. The first thing to do is to unravel the tangled path like a maze while enduring the physical strength that the high concentration of dimensional power consumes with means such as potions. Second, you have to open the Hidden Street where the Twisted Dimensional Gate is located using the Dimensional Key obtained in Phase 1. In order to do that...



While Damian continued his explanation, the man who had been raging on the floor let out a scream. Before he knew it, his face was mercilessly distorted, like that of a bloodthirsty murder.

As if he had been possessed by something, he couldn’t even properly use his speech, which is not enough to be called eloquent.

“...There is a blind spot of having to fight against an opponent cursed by such a twisted portal. A twisted portal drives the owner of the key that connects it to where it is located insane.”

“Is that so, master!”

And when Damian added an explanation while crossing his arms and gesturing toward the match, Moongchi immediately agreed and opened the leather cross-body bag.

“What the hell are you doing...”

colorful flasks.

These were the Alchemists’ potions he had used against hundreds of parasites before.
