An Alchemist Who Builds Shelters in the Apocalypse

chapter 62



Defeat the 2nd floor of the tower (5)

Japan Channel Salvation Tower 2nd floor.

Goblin Mining Village.

The head of an elite goblin warrior fell to the ground with the sword of a man in a red samurai costume.

“It’s terribly tough.”

Shaking off the blood on the blade, the man stood in front of the shaman’s cave.

The man’s identity is ranked 22nd in Japan.

Ryota Hiroyuki.

“Ryota. The cleanup of the goblin village is over.”

“You worked hard. Masato-sama, then we will rest for 10 minutes and then go to the shaman’s room.”

“All right.”

After the report, Masato’s face was full of shadows as he sat next to the people.

Although he came with Ryota at the direction of his superiors, he thought that the people here were not strong enough to catch the gray goblin shaman.

Masato’s gaze turned to the people sitting on the floor and resting.

Their faces looked strained, but there was no sign of fear or anxiety.

‘Are you certain of victory?’

Seeing them like that, Masato clicked his tongue.

It was because no matter how much they reached level 10 with the support of Osaka City, it was not enough to deal with the shaman’s dead.

Apparently, Masato had spoken to his superior in the fort’s meeting room. Dealing with a shaman without a priest is dangerous.

However, with just one word from his superior, Masato was persuaded.

-This is Tanaka-sama’s command.

5th in the MA world rankings and 1st in the Japanese rankings. Takeo Tanaka.

Takeo Tanaka was the eldest son of Miracle, a global company headquartered in Osaka, not only in games but also in real life.

He prepared for disaster in advance, and thanks to that, Osaka became the safest land in Japan.

Thanks to that, Tanaka’s words were absolute in Osaka.

I remembered what he said in front of the people gathered on the day of the end.

-Apocalypse is Japan’s chance to dominate the world once again. To do so, you must be the first to climb the tower, no matter what the cost.

-So we have to preoccupy District 3 first and kill all the Koreans who come up to prevent them from uniting around the ‘Iron Man’.

Masato did not object to that statement either. The benefits of preoccupying the tower were enormous.

The biggest hindrance to Japan’s preemption of the top spot is the No. 1 ‘Iron Man’ and his compatriots, Koreans.

‘Still, this is too much…’

Masato’s level is 14.

Ashen Goblin warriors could deal with up to 5 of them alone, but it was not enough to deal with the immortals commanded by the shaman.

‘Then there is only one way.’

Entering stage 3 and removing the shaman before summoning the dead.

Masato’s gaze turned to Ryota’s waist. The sword he wears around his waist is a rare grade Muramasa that grants the ‘acceleration’ function to the owner.

‘Please cut down the chieftain at once.’

Just then, Ryota got up from his seat and called the people together.

“If everyone clears the way before removing the second totem, I will cut off the chieftain’s head. So don’t be nervous and just follow the plan.”

Seeing Ryota’s confident face, people were sure of victory.

“Then let’s go.”

With Ryota as the lead, everyone entered the boss room.

However, things went differently than they expected.

[The Totem of Vitality has been installed.]

[The body speed of all goblins has increased by 20%.]

Awesome!

The head of the summoned orc fell off the sword that the guardsman had thrown.

“For an orc to die with a single sword…”

The head of the man who lost his summoned beast fell to the ground in the ensuing attack of the goblin guards.

After that, the situation rapidly deteriorated, and after 10 minutes, only Ryota and Masato were left.

“Huck, huck.”

Panting for breath, Ryota surveyed the situation.

‘There is only one totem of life remaining.’

If you break that one, the shield on the shaman will disappear and you will be able to attack.

However, Ryota gave up the attack.

Even if you destroy the totem, you won’t be able to catch the shaman with only your current health and Masato’s help.

Ryota tore the return portal and the spell book of protection from the inventory at the same time.

[The return portal will be completed after 5 minutes.]

[A rare grade shield is provided for 10 minutes.]

“Ryota-sama, is this…?”

Masato’s expression turned to astonishment when he saw the protective shield and return portal being created.

Seeing that, Ryota was convinced.

That Masato knew that the return order was for personal use.

“sorry. I didn’t know Masato-sama’s work would turn out like this. Still, shouldn’t one of them go back and tell the situation?”

Ryota’s apologetic face was full of servility.

“I will take responsibility for the rest of my family and take care of them safely.”

It’s nice to say that you’re going to take care of it safely. It’s like a threat that if you refuse, you won’t leave your family alone.

“It is a threat. But what about this? I have no family… and I will never die alone.”

Masato’s gaze turned to the last remaining totem.

“no way…”

Masato jumped out of the shield and destroyed the last remaining totem.

“See you in Hell.”

After saying that, Masato lost his life by the sword of the guards.

[You have entered Stage 3.]

[The totem of the dead is installed.]

The chieftain lowered his staff, and a skull-painted totem rose from the ground.

[The dead are resurrected.]

Dozens of reanimated dead along with the guards began attacking the shield.

Bang!

[The shield’s HP has been depleted by 10%.]

[The shield has been destroyed.]

“Masato!”

A voice filled with anger resounded in the cavity. That was Ryota’s last will.

***

A large staff held in one hand.

A grotesque mask worn on the face.

Large height over 2m.

A goblin shaman appeared.

*Carmui. Lv 14.

[Rating]: Rare

[Category]: Goblin-Ashen Shaman.

[technology]:

-Vitality Totem (Advanced)

-Cursed Totem (Advanced)

-Totem of the dead (rare)

[Abilities]:

-Muscle 23.3 Agility 20.5 Stamina: 23.1

Karmui, who found us, slammed his staff down on the floor, and bone fragments scattered on the floor flew up and surrounded Karmui’s body in layers.

‘Bone shield of the dead.’

To break it, you must destroy all the Totems of Protection in the second stage.

Goo!

At the end of the wide cavity, 5 trees with patterns rise up. The door to the cave next to it opened and the guards began pouring out.

[The Totem of Vitality has been installed.]

[The body speed of all goblins has increased by 20%.]

Numerically only 20% increase in body speed. However, it becomes quite tricky if it is granted to a goblin guard with agility of over 30.

If you are at least level 10 and bring a useful summon, you can catch it in a full party.

But not for us.

– Kiki!

The tip of Karmuy’s staff pointed at us.

-Kik!

– Kiki!

Karmuy’s guards rushed at us all at once.

“Guardian? totem? What do you want to take on?”

“I will serve as the royal guard, so hyung remove the totem.”

“uh.”

Moohyul kicked off the ground and ran towards the center.

A total of 50 guardsmen, ten marionettes per cave, ran toward Muhyul who was running in the center.

‘shall we start.’

I put my will into the orb floating above my head.

Shuung!

The orb shot off and stopped close to the ground next to the totem on the far right.

<Rotate.>

The sphere began to rotate rapidly left and right.

<Defeat.>

The sphere that rotated as much as the width of the totem flew diagonally upward.

Tak-da-dak!

[Vitality Totem 3 has been destroyed.]

Then, the orb that flew into the sky moved next to the next totem and moved it diagonally down.

Tadadak!

It took less than a minute to destroy all the totems using the same method.

[All vitality totems have been destroyed.]

[Entering the second stage.]

A new totem with a different pattern rose above the destroyed totem.

[The totem of curse has been installed.]

[All physical abilities are reduced by 10%.]

I used the orb again to destroy all cursed totems.

Check your stamina.

[Note: Stamina -21%]

My body felt a little weak, but it didn’t matter.

[The Totem of the Dead has been installed.]

A totem engraved with a skull rose anew between the broken totems, and the bone shield surrounding Karmuy disappeared.

– Kiki!

The moment Karmuy got angry and tried to swing his staff at me.

‘Black, kill me.’

Black, who had been turned into mist behind Karmui, transforms into a goblin warrior.

f*ck!

With the sound of a gourd cracking, the back of Karmuy’s head was shattered by Black’s swinging mace.

[Karmuy is dead.]

Even though Karmuy died, the dead who had already risen did not die.

When I looked at it with my own eyes, there were about 50 dead who came back to life.

‘Hey black, eat it.’

Black, who had turned into mist again, swallowed Karmuy’s corpse as it was.

[The predation was successful.]

[Shaman Karmui has been added to the transformation list.]

The number of totems that can be used at once is one.

‘Black, set up a totem of vitality.’

[The Totem of Vitality has been installed.]

[Body speed increases by 20%.]

He put the orb into his finger and drew out the slayer’s sword.

***

It only took 20 minutes to deal with all the enemies with Muhyul.

“You are quite right.”

“I’m just going to do it.”

It wasn’t empty talk. Moo-hyul took care of the rest while I caught about 20.

If you fight 1:1 without telekinesis and blink, you will probably lose.

Soon we will merge the Dome of Hwasan and Osan, and then Muhyul will come to Doksanseong.

After the 2nd wave is over, you will of course get Arachne, and if Moohyul joins you, you will be able to block most of the waves even without me.

“Ah, Muhyul, did you say you were with your family?”

“Yes, bro.”

“Is your family also Awoken?”

“no. Only my father is an awakened person and my mother is a non-awakened person.”

Not everyone is an Awakener is that the first wave of Hwaseong City is not over.

“Is the wave over yet?”

“yes. You know. For every 300,000 population, the queen’s power grows stronger.”

Every time a city’s population increases by 300,000, the wave’s boss upgrades its abilities.

That the number of eggs increases.

Or the ability level itself rises.

That the buff itself becomes stronger.

As far as I know, the population of Mars is about 900,000. So it must have been upgraded at least 3 times.

“What happened to the upgrade?”

“Judging from the fact that there are more than 10 giants and they move fast, I think the buffs and eggs have been upgraded.”

“It’s fortunate. Because the ratings didn’t go up.”

“yes. If that happened, Mars City would have been wiped out.”

Looking at Moo-hyul’s bright expression, fortunately, the fight seemed worthwhile.

“Find my mother and hold out for two days.”

“Two days?”

“uh. I’ll catch the second wave boss in two days, merge the dome, and go right away.”

“Really? brother.”

Muhyul looked at me and asked if he was really surprised.

“uh. You too, find my mother and protect her.”

“all right. I’ll go right now and find my brother’s mother and take care of him.”

“Yes, please.”

“Then let’s go. brother. see you next time.”

“uh.”

Moo-hyul took a box that floated where the shaman died and left the portal first.

Muhyul goes out. I checked the Tower 2 scenario again.

*Revenge of villagers who became sacrifices.

[Content]: Kill all the gray goblin shamans and release the grudges of the villagers.

[Objective]: Ashen Goblin Shaman’s Seal.

The seal is given if you kill only one shaman, but the text says to kill all the gray goblin shaman.

So even then, I searched all over to see if there was a hidden place, but I couldn’t find it, but I found a strange place.

I moved between the 3rd and 4th caves where the goblin guards came out and inspected the paintings on the walls.

A pattern the size of a 500 won coin is engraved on the wall.

‘This is clearly where the hidden scenario in Area 3 begins.’

I moved to the first cave and broke the stone statue.

[The pattern of the 1st shaman has been activated.]

Go to the 4th cave. I pushed lightly with my hand on the protruding wall.

Goo!

The bricks went down and a goblin statue appeared there.

I broke the statue once again.

[The pattern of the 2nd shaman has been activated.]

I found two during the open beta, but gave up because I couldn’t find the last remaining one.

I went to the spot where the boss died and used Acumen. A peculiarity could be found under the floor where the shaman’s corpse was lying.

“found.”
