chapter 77
Cursed Catacombs (2)
“Kalk-sama, can you make this now?”
I drew an object of the shape I wanted using paper and a pen placed on one side of the studio.
“hmm. This should take about 30 minutes.”
“That’s fine. When it’s done, send someone to my room.”
“Okay.”
While Khalk was making items, I went to my room to make some more items needed for the raid.
First of all, the cursed underground aqueduct is full of excrement, so boots are essential. It was fortunate that I had brought the boots I had worn when I went to collect on the tidal flats with my parents just in case.
Now that the pressure of the coin has been released to some extent, it is time to strengthen the necessary items and supply the crystals through disassembly.
Made the boots rare and applied 3 enhancement stones.
It didn’t have to be applied because it only needed to work as a boots, but it was out of curiosity.
check the function.
It has a water splash prevention feature.
Put the boots in your inventory.
Take out the gas mask and upgrade it to rarity.
3 Enchantment Stones were applied.
The gas mask is important, so I got a useful function through a few re-applies.
*Gas Mask of Purification Lv 3.
[Rating]: Rare.
[Classification]:Armor-helmet.
[Description]: Armor that blocks chemical contaminants floating in the air.
[Function 1]: Strength +3.
[Function 2]: Oxygen supply.
-Supply fresh oxygen inside the gas mask.
Now, when you get the items you requested from Khalk, you are ready to attack the tower.
After lying down and resting for a while, the dwarf came and I moved to the workshop.
“If you need an item in the future, just tell me. I’ll make it for you anytime.”
“thank you. Khalk-sama.”
After putting down the item received from Khalk and making it usable through strengthening and resetting, I registered it on my third finger and moved to the tower.
“Come on. Iron man once.”
“hello. Manager, please give me a scenario on the third floor.”
“Okay.”
[The scenario has arrived.]
*Q10 removed.
[Rating]: Advanced.
[Classification]: Sub-top 3rd floor.
[Content]: Underground waterways are being polluted by Ratman’s secretions. Stop Rat-Man from accessing the Underground Waterways.
[Goal]: Eliminate Ratman Chief Q10.
[compensation]:
-General item selection card.
-2 Dark.
Choices are always right.
touch the ring.
Check the waypoint.
-Hellion Temple (1st floor)
-Ashen Goblin Village (1st floor)
-Ashen Goblin Mine (2nd floor)
-Temple of Khan and Iphitheus (4th floor)
– Cliff Cave (5th floor)
After moving to the temple of Khan and Iphitheus and riding a motorcycle for a long time to the north, I saw a green lake in the distance.
“Ugh···. smell.”
A foul odor entering the nose.
park the bike
He pulled the collar towards his nose.
In the game, it was just aesthetically pleasing. When I actually came, the rotten smell vibrated.
‘This is not something I can tolerate.’
As soon as I took the gas mask out of my inventory and put it on, fresh air infiltrated my nostrils. Except for the narrowing of the field of view, I am very satisfied.
Putting on a gas mask and going a little further inside, I saw a cave behind the lake and an organ with a rune in front of it.
When I put the goblin seal on the round space and touched the organ, a portal appeared, and the penalty warning didn’t appear because I used the seal.
Before entering, I took out boots from my inventory and put them on and entered the portal.
***
Upon entering the portal, the first thing I encountered was defecation and feces scattered all over the place.
“It’s too dirty to come.”
The long canal in front was filled with water up to the ankle area, but fortunately the boots were longer, so the excrement did not touch the skin.
After walking for about 5 minutes along the continuous waterway, a group of ratmen appeared with the sound of splashing in the distance.
Their appearances were similar to those of adult males, with the difference being that they had mice-shaped faces and tails.
When I saw it in the game, I didn’t mind because it was just a monster, but when I saw it in real life, it was gross and vicious beyond my imagination.
‘First of all, insight.’
*Ratman Warrior Lv 15.
[Rating]: Advanced.
[Classification]: Rat man-worker.
[technology]:
-Toxic gas eruption (advanced)
[Abilities]:
-muscle strength 25.2, 29.5, 19.1
As expected, like a rat, he has a skill that makes people very irritating.
Toxic gas is a poison in the form of farts that erupts from the guys’ buttocks, and if you continue to inhale it, you will lose consciousness and collapse.
That’s why you need to bring a detoxifying potion or a priest to attack the 3rd floor of the tower.
‘Of course not to me.’
Check the performance of the gas mask once again.
sniff sniff.
It doesn’t look like much of a difference from before.
Again, poison does not enter.
At first, there was only one rat man, but it gradually increased, and in an instant, more than 20 rat men gathered in front of me.
In terms of stats, it was strong enough to match a fairly rare villain, but to me now, it’s no different than a slime that just gives you items.
After drawing a picture of the whole battle in my head, I slowly walked towards them.
– Jjiik!
When I left, the first ratman warrior in the front pulled out a sword from his waist, and at the same time all the ratmen drew their weapons.
The remaining distance to the guys is 5m.
I kicked off the sh*t in front of me and ran towards the front.
Awesome!
The head of the previous rat man fell to the floor.
Even if you have great abilities, you can’t help but die if you cut your throat with a knife.
When the rat man in front of me fell down, the guys around me rushed at me all at once.
Certainly, unlike the guys I dealt with before, I have high agility and move quickly, but that’s all.
Ratman’s neck fell to the floor with each swing of the sword. After killing about 10 of them, they started to run away.
[You have obtained the Ratman Worker Card.]
[You have obtained the Ratman Warrior Card.]
The intended purpose has been achieved, and there is no need to chase the guys who run away to a place other than the boss room.
Ripped all rat man cards.
[Collection added.]
*Poison resistance starts with us!
[Rating]: Advanced
[Description]: Let’s raise poison resistance by collecting ratman cards that use nasty fart poison as their main weapon.
[Required Cards]:
-Ratman Worker (O)
-Ratman Warrior (O)
[Retention effect]: Poison resistance +10.
[Poison resistance has increased by +10.]
Poison resistance is over 50, so I won’t be poisoned by Ratman’s poison, but I don’t want to smell the disgusting smell, so I decided to use the gas mask as it is.
‘Then let’s go.’
Stepping on the dung and going inside for another 10 minutes, six forks appeared, and I walked along the road in front for another 10 minutes.
shoot!
The sound of a waterfall could be heard in the distance.
A little further inside, a cliff appeared.
“It’s quite a while.”
There was a cliff about 100m away, and a portal to the boss room was visible behind it.
The way to get to the boss room in the game was simple.
If you pull all the levers at the 5 crossroads, you can cross the bridge that appears.
The problem is that at least one hour is consumed for each crossroads.
I touched my middle finger and took out the newly acquired item because it was too long for me, where every minute and every second was a waste.
*Kalk’s Silver Commendation Lv 3.
[Rating]: Rare.
[Classification]: Weapon-Commendation.
[Function]: Agility +3
[Feature 2]: Weight support
-Reduce the weight of the weapon to 1 kg.
The overall appearance was the same as that of a commendation, with a diameter of about 50 m and a thickness of about 3 cm.
After running several times using the reset, the ability was reset again to the function that came out, reducing the weight from 6 kg to 1 kg.
The results of using spheres so far.
It’s good to attack stealthily.
An item made because it was judged to be weak in destructive power.
Also, because it is 50 cm in diameter.
You can use it like this here.
I floated a little bit of the shuriken in the air and sat on top of it, putting my will into it.
The shuriken carrying me slowly started to move across the cliff.
I wanted to move at a high speed, but I moved slowly because it was the first time I used telekinetic power like this.
After a while.
arrive at your destination.
“Once you get used to it, you can ride it while standing.”
If that’s the case, I think I’ll be able to do a lot of different battles…
Or just making a means of transportation doesn’t seem bad. It’s because the cost of releasing it is no longer burdened.
‘Well, think about that again next time.’
I took a deep breath, recalled the Q10 attack once again, and entered the portal.
***
Knock! Knock!
Only the sound of running water can be heard.
I can’t see anything.
I took out the orb and activated the fire orb.
A circular space that is less than 30 pyeong.
Sewer pipes and ladders drilled everywhere.
Q10 sleeping on a jar in the middle of the room.
*Q18 Lv 18.
[Rating]: Rare
[Classification]: Ratman-royal.
[technology]:
-Toxic bomb (rare)
-Flight (rare)
– Infrared vision.
-Invincible (Rare)
[Abilities]:
-Strength 31.1 Agility 37.2 Stamina: 20.5
It was slightly larger than the other ratmen.
He wears wings on his back in the theme of Ratman.
Just in case I could kill him right away before he woke up, I shot a sphere at Q10’s head.
bang!
I sent the orb that bounced off from being blocked by the invisible barrier in front of Q10.
– Take it!
Q10 woke up and flew up as soon as he saw me.
I tried to shake my hand to drop the sphere, but I couldn’t.
The angry fellow flapped his wings rapidly, and something rained down on me.
‘It’s a toxic bomb.’
The shield may be able to block the impact of the poisonous bomb, but the current resistance cannot block all of its poison.
‘Let’s follow the game strategy.’
The strategy was simple.
As soon as you enter the room, it is attached to the wall.
When Q10 flies up, climb the ladder on the wall and quickly climb into the sewer pipe.
The problem is that in the process, there is a 90% chance that the brought torch will fall down and the sight will be blocked.
So, in order to attack Q10, I needed an unextinguished torch item, and I could get this with a low probability through a miscellaneous card.
In the game, it took about a month to capture this place, so it was possible to obtain it, but it is an item that cannot be obtained now. But it didn’t matter. ‘Cause I’ve got a burning orb
<blink>
Go to the sewer pipe.
Cheeik!
When the toxic bomb dropped from Q10’s body met the sewage flowing on the floor, it began to boil.
I put my will into the sphere and shot it at the guy’s head once more.
bang!
The sphere bounced off again.
I attacked the same place 5 more times in a row.
The result was the same.
‘As expected, I have to get rid of invincibility.’
Getting rid of it was simple.
Breaking the toxic pot in the middle.
The problem is that the moment the pot is broken, toxic sewage flows in from the sewage pipe.
I put the shuriken at my feet and used the sphere to break the jar.
When the jar broke and the toxic substance burst out into the water, the entire sewage system began to boil and the sewer pipe began to shake.
‘It’s the beginning.’
I sat down with the shuriken up to my knees and flew out of the sewer and upward.
shoot!
All but one sewer pipe was pouring filth.
“It’s scary.”
When I was briefly distracted by the pouring filth.
– Jjiik!!
Stupid Kyuten screamed and announced that he would attack.
The boy flapped his wings loudly.
Dozens of toxic bombs flew at me.
‘There’s no way.’
I use Blink to move behind him.
A toxic bomb that lost its target fell down, producing green vapor.
After doing that a couple more times, the water that came out of the sewer was higher than where the toxic pot had been.
[Q10’s shield has been released.]
At the same time, the message I was waiting for appeared. Without poison and shield, Q10 is nothing.
Once again, the sphere flew at Q10’s head.
puck!
Let the sphere pierce the guy’s head.
It flopped like a goldfish for a moment, then crashed.
[Q10 is dead.]
As soon as Q10 died, the water that had risen went out somewhere in an instant.
5 minutes later.
All the water has drained out.
A portal leading out appeared.
I opened the reward box just in case.
The only thing that comes out is the boss card and seal.
There was no cubic I wanted.
I got down to the floor and used my insightful eye to scan my surroundings.
‘There is no singularity.’
what? This scenario was created only for me and may have been designed to target only me.
Then, of course, something should come out through the wisdom eye, but there is nothing.
I rode the commendation and went upstairs once again to take a closer look, but there was nothing special.
I’m sure I’ll have to find a way to solve it…
“Could this be it?”
My gaze turned to Q10.
