CH 118

Enough time had passed.

Satisfaction also went off to some extent, and vitality and mana were full.

Song Wei Guang said implicitly.

“How about going to the 10th floor?”

Ikegami sighed and answered.

“Let’s taste it. If you don’t like it, run away. How about everyone?”

All the men seemed to agree.

Jang Hana clenched her fists with an awkward smile.

“Go, go!”

“Look out. Dodge well, and pick up your shield, not your bracelet.”

“Yeah!”

When Ikegami got up, shaking his butt, everyone else got up.

“Shall we turn the buff?”

“Yes, please.”

Jang Hana held a Bible and applied a buff to people.

Swords, shields, and shoes that shine sequentially permeated their bodies.

Jun-woo summoned 3 defense robots and 5 cannonball robots.

From the 5th floor, it was the most challenging hunting ground that Jun-woo had experienced, and he was breaking the record for each foot.

The stairway to the 10th floor was made of bones impregnated with blue but in a different color from the other feet.

When all the buffs were gone, Song Wei Guang said.

“Maybe there is a boss. Lewis, detonate a bomb whenever you get a chance. We will take care of avoiding it.”

“Yeah.”

“Jang Hana, raise your shield and try to block or avoid arrows as much as possible.”

“Yeah! I will try.”

“Even if you run, you should never run too far.”

“Yeah!”

“If there comes a situation where you have to write a teleportation spell, Jang Hana, Ikegami, Heather, Lewis, and so on, write them in that order, and the meeting place will be the entrance to this tower.”

Several cautions were preached by Song Wei Guang.

And when he finished speaking, Song Wei Guang stood in front of the stairs and said,

“Then I will go up.”

Song Wei Guang took the lead, followed by three defense robots.

Ikegami drew a faint smile as she looked at the defense robots.

“It feels like there are three more tanks. There are also remote dealers.”

The four-legged cannonball robots climbed the stairs with their front feet raised.

Song Wei Guang, who had climbed up, looked around at the stairs.

“Come up. There is nothing nearby.”

People rushed up.

A magic lamp illuminated all directions, and they turned and went inside.

At that moment, a large candle on a candlestick hung from a pillar of bone.

Candles that were large like torches and emitting blue light burned all at once.

The entire 10th floor became relatively bright, and everyone’s eyes turned to the right.

“It is coming.”

As they felt a presence walking, the people took their respective positions.

Ikegami looked at him and said.

“It’s one.”

“It’s like the boss of this tower.”

A skeleton began to appear.

He was wearing stylish silver armor.

A blue light flowed from the patterns drawn on the silver sword and shield, and a red light flowed out where the eyes were.

<<Swoosh>>

A message indicating that he was a boss appeared on the skull and disappeared.

“I think that boss is one of the three we must catch.”

“Then the three castles… … .”

Jun-woo said when Ikegami was puzzled.

“I will attack.”

“Yes, let’s start.”

Jun-woo, who corrected his posture, fired energy bullets with mana in his mana cannon.

Thud!

The blown energy bullet was blocked by the skull’s shield, and the skeleton still walked.

The three defense robots were scattered, and Song Wei Guang ran to the skeleton.

The skeleton also ran as if to meet him.

Passing the Song Wei Guang at great speed, he blocked Ikegami’s sword with his shield and hurled his sword at Jun-woo to avoid Heather’s mace.

[Defense increases by 1000 for 3.4 seconds by the protection of the earth.]

An explosion occurred when three self-destruct robots were created on either side of Jun-woo.

Pop!

The explosion blew the skeleton’s body away, and when it landed on the floor, the defensive robot pulled out its chest and pulled the skeleton.

The skeleton being dragged moved as if disappearing, and in the blink of an eye, it appeared in front of Heather’s nose and lowered his sword.

Squash!

Heather blocked it with his shield, but his body fell backward, and a sword was struck down over it once.

Thud!

Ikegami appeared behind the skull and drew a sword.

Ting!

The skeleton that had been blocked by the shield ran again, and when the defense robot pulled it in, it showed a figure of persistence.

Thud!

The shield blocked Jun-woo’s attack, and most of the missiles fired by the cannonball robot did not hit either.

Although it is a homing missile with low damage and can be tracked, it runs frantically, so there are cases where it hits an ally instead.

Pop!

Ikegami, hit by a homing missile in the cheek, frowned slightly and ran towards the skeleton.

When the skull drew a sword toward Jun-woo, Jun-woo changed his position and fired mana cannon, and the skeleton blocked it and approached Jun-woo again.

It was a great running speed.

The distance narrowed instantly, and when a sword filled with blazing black mana was about to fall on Jun-woo’s head, Jun-woo disappeared again.

The skeleton’s gaze turned to Jun-woo in the shadow behind the pillar.

Thud!

Skeleton jumped again, blocking the front, and smashing down Song Wei Guang.

Smash!

Song Wei Guang endured it and slashed the skull’s head with his sword.

Squash!

The skull’s head bowed forward. Song Wei Guang pushed it hard with her shield and struck down the falling skull.

Squash!

The skeleton, which had fallen backward, got up without touching the ground and ran towards Jang Hana on the right.

Ikegami blocked the center, but the skull charged with its shield in front.

Ikegami tried to shoot down the sword with all his might, but Ikegami hit the shield and flew away.

Bang!

“Sheesh… … .”

Thud!

The skeleton, lightly blocking the energy bullets with a shield as if it was annoying, slammed down a long one in front of him.

Ting!

When the shield was turned on, the skull continuously struck down the sword while Heather ran and swung his mace.

Bang!

As the mace slammed into the shield, a yellow light rose from the bottom of the skull.

It was a characteristic of Hider, which occurred with a certain probability for dark attributes.

“Run away!”

While there was restraint and light, the subject could not move, and in the meantime, Jang Hana released the shield and ran away, and missiles and energy bullets flew and collided with the skeleton.

The skull casually hit the missile, blocked the energy bullet with a shield, and ran back towards Jang Hana when the restraint was released.

“Stop it!”

Jang Hana, who was running away, fell down with a small wooden shield to block the sword from being shot.

Bang!

The body fell backward, and the skeleton stepped on the abdomen of such a long-haired person and lowered the sword.

The sword fell down on his forehead, and the back of his head slammed into the floor.

Bam!

“Ouch… … .”

As he tried to take another shot, Ikegami appeared behind him and drew his sword.

Smash!

The skull with the back of the head slammed Jang Hana’s small head down with a pair of sheet metal boots at the moment when her body leaned forward.

Bang!

It was Jang Hana, whose face and back of the head were all tingling.

When Heather approached and slashed the mace, the skeleton’s body was pushed back, and a purple mark appeared on the site it was hit.

It was the effect of reducing the defense power in the weapon of Hider who changed weapons.

The option to lower the defense in hunting a boss with high vitality was a necessary effect.

When Song Wei Guang blocked Jang Hana in front, the skeleton changed its target to Jun-woo.

Thud!

However, approaching causes an explosion, and when the sword is raised, it is not enough to disappear a couple of times. Seeing Jun-woo flying around without showing pain, even when hit by a sword, the skeleton changed its target to an Ikegami again.

Swish!

When he sensed that the subject had changed, Ikegami grinned.

“Is it me this time?”

The sword and the sword collided, and the sheet metal boots went deep into Ikegami’s abdomen.

Puck!

As Ikegami jumped backward, the skeleton jumped up and lowered the sword.

Bang!

“?… … .”

At that moment, Jun-woo’s guided missile flew and hit the skeleton’s body.

Bam Bam!

The skeleton endured without falling drew the approaching Heather, and blocked the attack with a shield.

The skeleton did not show any special skills.

If he had to pick a type, it would be a shield knight. It was a monster with excellent attack and defense.

Heal continued to be used on Ikegami, and everyone’s mana except for Jun-woo gradually decreased.

On the other hand, the skull looked so much the same that an idea settled in Ikegami’s head.

‘Artifact… … .’

There were doubts about whether it would be possible to catch an artifact not obtained from the Tomb of the Dead and the Valley of the Dead.

Swoosh!

“Shit.”

Ikegami used her skill to move her body quickly and drew a skull in all directions.

Swooshhhhh

When he drew back and stepped back, Jun-woo appeared and detonated the self-destruct robot.

Thud!

The skull flew again, landed on the floor, and pulled the shield.

The battle lasted over 30 minutes.

Ikegami shouted.

“Is this going to die? Maybe there is another way!?”

Fighting a tank-type boss for about 20 minutes was relatively common for people of the same class, but after 30 minutes, the words changed.

There was a time when he thought he couldn’t do any damage.

Or maybe something special is needed due to the nature of the dungeon gate.

Everyone pondered whether something was missing from Ikegami’s words.

There were two places where he didn’t get a reward. Maybe there was an answer there.

The acquired artifact could be obtained by killing the target.

He wondered if it was a boss that could only be caught by finding and killing Maro.

Another 10 minutes passed.

Bang!

Heather, who flew away, frowned while using heels on himself, and Jang Hana’s face, who had repeatedly used heels, became pale due to depletion of mana.

Song Wei Guang said to Jang Hana.

“Come down first.”

“Yeah? However… … .”

“Stay on the stairs. I will follow you in a little bit.”

“Yeah… … .”

Jang Hana slowly pulled herself out, and Song Wei Guang was attached to the skeleton and said.

“I’ll try five more minutes and then go down.”

Ikegami and Heather nodded and attacked.

Five more minutes had passed, and the skeleton was holding on and pressing on them.

“Sr. Lewis, let’s go down!”

Jun-woo was puzzled by Ikegami’s cry.

He wondered if he should come down now and wanted to try a little more.

Jun-woo came closer and said while shooting Mana Cannon.

“Let’s try a little bit more.”

“If you see that you didn’t die even after doing this, you must be missing something. Or, recharge and come back… … .”

Swoosh!

The skull, who wielded the sword at Ikegami, drew a sword at Jun-u, who was right next to him.

Jun-woo flew up and shot Mana Cannon while avoiding it.

Thud!

The skull, lightly blocked by the shield, cut those who approached and smashed into it with the shield.

A little more time passed as the skeletons and people fell and got up repeatedly.

Ikegami, who had poured the potion, looked at Jun-woo as if dissatisfied and at the candle wax starting to fall.

Candle waxes filled the candlesticks were falling to the floor.

‘candle?’

Heather’s body was hit by the sword, flew away, and collided with the pillar.

Trickle

Candle wax fell on his head, and Heather got up and wondered at the half-candle remaining.

‘Why there are candles here… … .’

Usually, there was a lot of dissatisfaction, or a torch was placed on it.

Song Wei Guang exclaimed.

“Let’s wait until the candles are all melted.”

It could be a boss who doesn’t die for a specific time.

At Song Wei Guang’s words, they nodded their heads and focused on defense rather than attack.

Ikegami was busy running around, but it was difficult to dodge the attack because the skeleton was faster.

Bang!

Song Wei Guang stopped in front of Ikegami, who had rolled over the floor, and said.

“Come down first.”

“Oh…, all right. I will rest first.”

As Ikegami ran away, the skeleton aimed at Hider.

Heather grabbed the shield and kept blocking the attack.

Thud!

Unlike the two who focused on defense, Jun-woo did not stop attacking.

A skeleton, unable to withstand Jun-woo’s attack on the back, rushed to him, and Jun-woo caused an explosion, fought the attack, disappeared again, disappeared, and then quickly flew away.

The skeleton ran high speed, jumped, swung his sword, and shot Jun-woo down.

Jun-woo, who fell on the floor, flew straight away and ran away again.

The defensive robot pulled the skeleton, and the skeleton endured it and followed Jun-woo again.

Song Wei Guang and Heather, who were quite exhausted, did not dare to pursue it.

Heather let out a shallow sigh.

“Ha… … .”

“I think there are about 15 minutes left.”

“About an hour. It’s embarrassing to watch, but it’s hard to follow.”

“Let’s try to block the road, if it’s Sr. Lewis, that’s right… I think it will be fine.”

Jun-woo flew round and round on a 4m tall pillar.

The skeleton looked up at Jun-woo and seemed busy figuring out the timing of the attack, but maybe he was annoyed again, so he changed his target to Hider.

Bang!

Heather blocked the skull with a shield, and self-destructing wolves came up behind the skeletons and exploded.

Pop!

The skull was caught in the explosion and fell, and then fell again.

Thud!

Again, the skull fell forward, and a hole was created in the iron plate on the back.

When the white spines were visible, the three opened their eyes.

Jang Hana and Ikegami, who had been watching while standing on the stairway, were startled, then shouted urgently.

“Give me a heel! Full fatigue.”

“Yeah!”

When all the remaining wounds healed, Ikegami joined the battle again and drew a sword.

Bang!

As the target was changed from holding on to catching, the skeleton’s armor began to break, and the guy’s mana began to drop.

The skeleton struggled to the end, but it seemed he couldn’t turn the situation around as if he didn’t have any special skills.

Pop!

The explosion ripped her legs apart, and as Ikegami’s sword struck her neck, her skull was separated from her body and rolled on the floor.

As the mana in the skeleton disappeared, smiles spread across everyone’s lips.

And above their heads, a contribution to the skeleton floated.

Song Wei Guang was 17%, Heather 16%, Ikegami 13%, Jang Hana 15%, and Jun-woo 39%.

[A bonus stat of 1 is given per 3% as a reward according to your contribution to capturing a skeleton.]

Jun-woo’s stats increased by 12 more.

Jang Hana ran up and shouted with a smile on her face.

“Good job, everyone!”

[Because you killed a skeleton, the defense you gained from the Tower of Bone does not disappear even if you leave the ‘Land of the Dead.’]

At the same time, Jun-woo’s defense increased by 14, the highest value.

When everyone burst into a brief admiration, Jang Hana burst out in respect as she saw the items floating on the corpse.

“Wow… … .”

Everything the skeleton was wearing seemed to come out.

Of the 8 parts, there were two of Jun-woo’s along with Ikegami.

The sword, expected to be the most expensive among them, fell to Ikegami.

Ikegami put it into the item window with a satisfied smile.

“Oh, it’s a win-win. It’s worse than a sword now.”

Jun-woo got armor and shoes, but both are unique +. It wasn’t as good as the one he’s wearing now.

However, each item worth more than 200 billion won was an option that could be used enough if not sold.

“Whoa… … .”

Exhausted, Ikegami took a shallow breath and sat down on the floor.

The other people were also quite tired, so they sat on the floor, and there was still something satisfying on their tired faces.
