Episode 362. Base maintenance (2)
“Je-jebaaal!”
Orun’s hammer blow exploded with all his might.
Sparks flew out in all directions.
There is only one chance left.
If you fail again, the material will be destroyed.
Of course, it went without saying that the life of the blacksmith who destroyed the material would also disappear.
Exciting! Exciting! Exciting!
One second passed, like an eternity.
Orun’s eyelids slowly opened.
And at that very moment,
Tiring!
Golden mist poured down with a cheerful sound.
… … It’s a success.
“Oooooh! That’s it, that’s done, that’s done!”
Orun let out an exclamation.
The joy of barely surviving and the pride of success were evident.
“Of course, I believed that you would succeed.”
“Yeah, that’s right. Actually, I knew that too. I’ve been doing it on purpose so far to create the right amount of tension. Huh! Huh! Huh!”
Orun squared his shoulders.
As expected, seeing him shine at important moments, it seems like his old skills haven’t completely disappeared.
‘good.’
Jinhyuk approached the finished product with a satisfied smile.
A blade with a mixture of soft white and blue light.
A dagger about 40cm long is the new weapon that will be used in the future.
[Havelian’s Soul – Barnard]
Grade: Indigo
Durability: 17,000 / 17,000
Attack Power: 35,000
Features: Lightweight magic reduces the weight to 1g. A bleeding (+100) effect is applied with each attack, and the critical rate increases by 10%.
Special skill: Protection of the Havellian race (passive)
When fighting with an ancient species, spirit beast, or phantom beast species, attack power increases by 30%.
Amazing, Great.
There was nothing else to say other than this.
‘Even though it’s a dagger, it has this much attack power. It’s a bit embarrassing, isn’t it?’
A whopping 35,000,
There is also a lightweight magic attached to it, so you will be able to handle it much more skillfully.
I was quite satisfied with the fact that it felt similar to the canine handle I used before.
But, what is more fraudulent than anything else… … .
It’s not about weight, damage, critical, or bleeding.
‘Special skills’.
As a species with high affinity, I liked the fact that it could pursue synergy with various races.
Being able to receive a whopping 30% buff in a battle where the difference between victory and defeat meant that you could fight even higher-ranked species.
With this, you will be able to properly play with not only Kizakiel, but also gods like Gunthafer.
“Thank you. I really like it.”
Jinhyuk lightly moved the dagger.
‘Barnard’, scattering blue brilliance, rotated in a gentle curve.
The center of gravity is also perfect.
Sharpness was also the same.
‘I want to quickly enter a dungeon or a labyrinth.’
I wonder if this is what it feels like to have an itch all over my body.
“I’m glad you were satisfied.”
“Okay then, let’s go now. My companions are waiting for me at the imperial capital.”
“They say they’re having a ball. Are you going to attend it?”
“Sir Abraham forced me to attend because he forced me into an invitation.”
“Hmm, there’s nothing to worry about for the Empire, but other than that, be careful when going out to the middle layer.”
“What’s going on?”
“This is high-level information from the Dwarf Kingdom. Big!”
Orun cleared his throat and blurted out his words.
Look at this?
This snobbish old man… … ?
“Whew. I heard that a lot of good wine will be served at the banquet hosted by the Empire. I think I can sneak in a few jars.”
“Oh! I really like that wine too, and I really wish I could taste it. If you eat it with goat thighs, it’s just….”
“Okay. So what kind of information is this?”
As Jinhyuk urged, Orun slowly opened his mouth.
“Well, it’s about the 20th floor. I heard that players from your world went to that floor not long ago.”
For players who went to the 20th floor… … .
This is Teresa’s story.

Immediately after the completion of the 19th floor attack, large guilds led by Europe’s Olympus guild announced a large-scale attack on the 20th floor.
It was hot on the news and various media outlets for two days.
‘The existing Olympus guild assistant master died… … They say a new guy has taken his place.’
I heard that they organized the interior very radically and achieved tremendous results.
What was your name?
Because I spent it so hectic, I don’t remember it clearly.
What’s important is that Theresa is joining this raid.
“What have the players done?”
“Hmm. Before that, you know what the 20th floor is, right?”
“I know roughly.”
The 20th floor is a battlefield where all kinds of monsters and races come together.
It is a huge arena where people fight fiercely to have even a single inch of territory under the strict rule of the fittest.
This means that in order to survive, you must trample on others, and in order to rise above, you must bite others.
However, even there, there were a few places that were off-limits that should never be approached.
Called ‘Little King’.
These are monsters occupying important areas on the 20th floor.
Because they all possessed powerful force and power, even those higher than the 20th floor did not recklessly invade their territory.
however.
“Are you saying the players entered one of those areas?”
“They said so. I guess they were greedy for the resources there. I heard they are currently exploring the area around the mine to secure a route into it.”
If it’s a coveted resource, there’s only one.
“Magic stone… mine.”
“Yes. We went right there. Thanks to you, the guys occupying the mine were really pissed off. The players may not know it yet, but the chase team will catch up with them sooner or later.”
“…….”
I never thought I would have gone to a place that had nothing to do with the 20th floor strategy.
He said he would rather climb a tower for the sake of humanity.
In reality, they were busy pursuing their own interests.
And that greed will have the worst consequences.
‘It is said that the large guilds have formed an alliance, but they will be no match for the volume war… … .’
Only those who have experienced it can never know how brutal the battle on the 20th floor is.
so that,
Jin Hyeok-man had an idea of what the future situation would be like for the guilds currently on the 20th floor.
＊＊＊
Kwaaaaang!
Kukukukukuku!
A fountain of blood spurted out along with a huge explosion sound.
Abi Gyu-hwan (阿鼻叫喚).
There is no better way to describe this situation.
“Aaaah! My, my legs…!”
“Healers! What are you doing now? The healing isn’t keeping up!”
“Damn it, we’re doing our best! What can we do when we’re running low on mana?”
Today is the third day since I arrived on the 20th floor.
However, in my experience, it felt like I had already spent three years here.
Being attacked by monsters like that every day was a nightmare.
Right then.
“Everyone, get behind me! I’ll buy some time!”
Teresa went out of her way to fix the collapsing display.
[Teresa activates her unique ability ‘Star Protection’!]
As the dazzling light fell, the monsters’ attention focused on Teresa.
The ‘executors’, wearing black hoods and wielding long scythes, all changed their targets.
“Kill… kill. Offer to God as a sacrifice!”
“A blood sacrifice! Build an altar of flesh and bone!”
“Keeeeee!”
The ones the raiding party is currently fighting against are the ‘Cult of the Dead.’
Residents who serve the demons are fanatics who have long since disappeared.
Although they did not use systematic tactics or strategies, an army without fear was difficult in itself.
Because of the obsession with killing the opponent even if it meant killing oneself, the damage to the raid group grew uncontrollably.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
Teresa swung a sword made of starlight.
“Gagging!”
“Kwaaah!”
The bodies of the executioners were cut into pieces by the sword strikes filled with divine power.
Of course, the executioners also counterattacked, wielding scythes, but they were unable to inflict mortal wounds on Teresa, who was armed with heavy armor.
In an instant, Teresa, who had restored the battle line, jumped into the middle of the enemy lines.
Fighting a war of attrition will be detrimental in the long run.
If so, you must capture the enemy commander and end the fight quickly.
Quang!
Unlike other executioners, he is a fanatic wearing a white hood.
‘elder’.
That guy is the leader of the fanatics.
Teresa accelerated her pace even further.
Ordinary fanatics and named enforcers also moved to protect the elder.
The walls become increasingly thicker.
“Protect Teresa!”
“We must provide support so that they can get inside!”
The rankers of the raid also had blood vessels on their necks.
Quaaaang!
Quang!
Supporting fire from long-distance dealers continued.
And take advantage of that gap.
“This is the end.”
Finally, Teresa was able to reach where the elder was.
Teresa’s sword soared high into the sky.
at the same time.
“Two Arc. Akrabah.”
The elder activated a red blood magic.
A curse that binds space and twists limbs bound the entire armor.
Quad deuk!
The white armor was starting to get dented little by little.
“Keuuuh…….”
Teresa’s face was twisted in pain.
However, it did not stop swinging the sword.
‘Something like this… … Nothing.’
In much more difficult situations.
Under much more extreme conditions.
I knew a player who fought and won.
Therefore, I can’t whine and scream in pain here.
You can’t just stand still and not defeat an enemy like this!
Suddenly!
Teresa’s sword drew a neat trajectory.
“Ark……la……ba…….”
Pu pyu poop!
Blood gushing out like crazy.
The elder’s body slowly collapsed.
That was the end of the fight.
＊＊＊
About an hour has passed since the battle ended.
The raiding party had a busy time picking up the wounded and setting up camp.
“Damn. What are these stairs like? There has to be something called ‘moderation.’ Isn’t this too much to do?”
“If I keep going like this, I’m going to die from exhaustion. I can’t even remember the last time I rested comfortably. Damn it.”
“That’s right. They did things unreasonably without any information. Didn’t this all happen because they were trying to get that damn magic stone or something?”
Players who were still in good shape complained.
Due to extreme fatigue, even though I was hungry, the beef jerky and water did not go down my throat.
‘Everyone is very tired.’
Teresa looked around the campground with worried eyes.
The situation is dangerous now that morale is at rock bottom.
Unless we create an opportunity to turn the situation around… … .
Let alone conquering the stairs, the large guilds gathered this time may all fall.
This means that the status of the entire Europe will plummet to the ground.
‘That’s not allowed.’
Even considering the Rosenberg family, that must be prevented.
“Whew.”
Teresa hurriedly walked towards the largest barracks.
“Mr. Teresa?”
“What are you doing here?”
The two players guarding the entrance to the barracks immediately stood up.
“Is Mr. Payden inside?”
“Yes. The Engineering Captain and Deputy Engineering Captain are having a meeting inside right now. If you have any business, please wait a moment. They told me not to let anyone in.”
“It’s urgent. I need to see you right away.”
“B-but….”
The male player trailed off as if he was troubled.
But right then.
Coo!
A massive impact shook the earth.
“Ugh!”
“W-what is this?”
“Call the rankers right now. Right now!”
An unusual incident occurred outside the barracks.
fantasy, game,
