Stuck in The Tower

Chapter 30

Goblins almost fill the starter kit mountain.

Not a normal number.

Somehow, I wondered why it was so easy to catch 10 goblins.

“This is not a structure that can only catch 10 fish!”

– Kwajik!

I kicked the running goblin’s torso and at the same time slashed the one who was throwing me with my sword.

With a sword that cuts without resistance.

“Kuhhe!”

A half-cut goblin falls to the floor.

My specs have already gone up considerably.

It’s enough to kill the processing officer, so isn’t it the strongest on the 10th floor?

Even if I can’t do it, it seems to be at the top.

In other words, you can easily kill a goblin.

To begin with, goblins are weak enough to defeat any strong adult male.

“Kirururuk!”

“Crook! Crook!”

The problem is that there are too many of them.

[Defeat Goblins (4/10)]

[Acquire 29 points]

Clear conditions and points increase each time you cut them down.

I don’t know if I would like it normally.

“Please get out!”

“Kehehehehe!”

I changed my mind when I saw dozens of goblins rushing at me while salivating.

Dangerous.

If you face each other one by one, you can win.

But what if you are surrounded and attacked?

“Keugh!”

No matter how big or small, you have no choice but to allow an attack.

I’m wearing armor, so I can withstand being hit several times, but I can’t stand it forever.

No, at least a club is tolerable.

– Fishing

– Ting!

[The necklace helmet (D) is automatically activated.]

That guy’s poison needle is a problem.

If it wasn’t for the helmet artifact, I would have been poisoned a long time ago.

What if you are unlucky enough to get poisoned through a gap in your armor?

what from then Chewing, chewing, tasting, and enjoying yourself while hanging out with the goblins.

– Kwajik!

I cut off the head of the guy who threw the poison needle in two and ran forward.

It shouldn’t be like this. You have to get out of the siege.

-Paang!

[Sprinting (E) Lv.1]

“Get out of the way!”

“Khehehehe!”

“Keehyak!”

I used sprint and rushed recklessly toward the goblin.

Those who can only reach my waist at best.

If I pushed with force and weight, I had no choice but to be pushed out.

-Kooung!

As soon as I pushed the last clinging guy against the tree, my eyesight opened.

A little relief might come.

What caught my eye was a horrifying scene.

-Kirurulook -Kreururu

‘

There are more?’

Only about 20 individuals that were attacking me right away.

After breaking through the siege, there are other groups.

Does it make sense? Did you make this to break now?

– Teeing!

“Big!”

Between a moment of glare.

Something caught on my ankle and I fell over.

A clumsy rope.

It was hidden by a bush so I couldn’t see it.

Damn you guys, preparing a trap.

They come attacking me without even bothering about it.

“Kyaaaaaagh!”

“Kihehe! Kieh!”

A crude dagger and club in their hands.

From the guy holding the tube and trying to fire a poison dart to the guy grabbing a large stone.

The green skin glistening with saliva and sweat was foreign, and the liveliness of it as it was raw was wild and disgusting.

A rippling green wave.

pounding.

pounding.

My heart was beating.

The point at which it seems that there are more goblins than grass and trees.

[Fire Bomb (B) Lv.2]

-Quaaaaaang!

“Kihaaaagh!”

“Khehehehe!”

I had an explosion.

A shock engulfs the whole body. It exploded right above me and nowhere else.

It was an instinctive action.

The certainty that if I don’t use it right now, I’ll die.

Aside from having infinite coins, the fear of death was unacceptable.

-To-do-do-do!

You can feel the blow even though you are wearing armor.

The helmet was activated to protect the head, and sweat broke out in the heat.

The roaring sound made my ears go numb and something unknown knocked on my body for a while.

I couldn’t hear the cries of the goblins that had been heard everywhere

.

Instead, only the acrid and disgusting burnt smell vibrates.

“Turn it off.”

I stood up with my throbbing body.

The soft pieces of flesh that were on his back fell off.

The soot spread out in a circle starting from me.

Ripe goblin corpses were scattered everywhere, and those that had completely exploded were scattered in pieces.

bloody oozing out.

The intestines burst and filth poured out.

Nausea came up, but I endured it.

I’ve seen it a lot and it’s a sight I will see in the future.

I wouldn’t have known it when I was a student, but it was funny to throw up now.

First, let’s understand the situation.

“Ki Kiruluk.”

“Queue. Keck!”

There are some live ones.

I moved my aching arm and raised my sword.

-Pu-wook,

one by one, he clearly cut off his breath.

There is no need to create a risk factor by leaving it alone.

[Destroy Goblins (12/10)]

[The portal opens.]

-Unlike

me, the system moved quickly.

A portal leading straight ahead to the 8th floor was created.

Did you catch 8 with one explosion?

After all, they have low defense, so they don’t have the ability to live.

“That’s it.”

Deokchun sniffs and sticks out his tongue.

Tok. Touching his nose, I stood in front of the portal.

-Gulp

.

You have to choose.

Do you want to move on or stay here a little longer?

My heart clamored to go over quickly, but my reason was not.

‘There is definitely something hidden on the 7th floor.’

It’s not an unfounded idea.

The 7th to 9th floors are growth zones.

Growth is the theme.

Just as the tutorial has a role to experience in advance what you will experience in the future.

[Defeat Goblins (12/10)]

[Clear the 7th floor]

Those are literally the minimum conditions.

It’s okay to pass.

“Growth.”

I narrowed my eyebrows.

A really vague topic.

Because there are many ways to become stronger.

Hunting monsters definitely helps.

Not only does it give you experience, but it also gives you points.

You can use it to upgrade your equipment in the shop window.

But that’s…

“Isn’t that too indirect?”

Even the clear condition is to catch 10 goblins.

Even though we fought frantically because of the quantity, if we had handled it calmly, we would have caught it without much risk.

so are the others.

If they run away like they’re

running away , they’ll be able to catch

10 of them

.

Firebomb’s detonation was too strong.

Another group hiding in the mountains is approaching.

A cry that could not be defined in one direction.

Probably coming towards me from all directions.

It is a specification to be surrounded as before.

–

I moved forward little by little.

“ah! I don’t know!”

-grasp!

I passed the portal and ran forward.

You may regret it.

Maybe die and go down to the 6th floor.

There is also the possibility of being caught by the Sangun Guild waiting there and facing a rough situation.

I don’t know anything else, but I want to avoid fighting him again.

but.

“If we run away from here, we will have neither porridge nor food.”

Due to the nature of the tower, once you pass the 10th floor, no one can come down to the 7th to 9th floor growth section again.

From then on, you’ll be resurrected in the safe zone on the 10th floor.

“In other words, if you just go up to the 10th floor because it is difficult, you will never be able to get the hidden piece on the 7th, 8th, or 9th floors again.”

That shouldn’t be.

As long as you have infinite coins, you must go up to the 100th floor unconditionally.

Otherwise, you will never be able to go out again.

You should build up the specs as much as possible.

therefore.

“I have to figure it out somehow.”

Why is this a growth zone?

I don’t know the answer.

There is no reaction to the authority, and there is nothing that shines.

All you can do is continue hunting.

It won’t be difficult.

“A goblin at best.”

As popular as they are, I know their habits well.

if you’re a little careful

If only I could get them to my liking with a few gadgets and traps.

“I can catch anything.”

“To that.”

Deokchun cries as if telling him not to forget.

okay. I also have a super frog.

shit. I raised my eyebrows.

Although unintentional, the bait to move the goblins has already been laid.

Because I drew their attention with Fire Bomb.

-Papak!

As the footsteps of the crowd approached, I climbed up the tree.

A tree with poisonous leaves.

It was too high for those with low heights to check.

-Goo-gu-gu-gu!

“Kihea!”

“Khehehe!”

Those who came in droves were arguing that they would go first, so I didn’t even pay attention to me.

Fools.

Anyway, if I get stuck on something, I can’t come to my senses.

-Du-du-du-du,

after a group of goblins rushed in.

“Keck. hehe!”

I waited patiently

excuse me. To catch a weak one who has fallen out of the pack.

One of them was panting as if he had run from afar.

One guy had bruises all over his body, probably because he was swept away by the others.

Another one with a smaller build than a normal goblin.

three in total.

– Took

“Kihe?”

– Fu-wook!

I jumped from the tree and immediately put my sword through one of them.

[Threat (E) Lv.1]

I activated the newly acquired skill while catching Oh Ji-hyeok.

-Kuhwaaak!

The momentum that comes out at once.

It was powerful because of the influence of magical power.

“Kihiiik!”

“Kheuk!”

The goblins, suppressed by the momentum, hesitated.

The shrunken guys couldn’t even lift their weapons.

-Suddenly!

-Chwaaaaagh!

I could easily take them down.

When I first got this skill, it seemed like garbage.

It’s useful enough to deal with guys weaker than me.

‘But wasn’t this originally Lv.2?’

It must have been Lv.2 when he wrote it.

It seems that it was initialized as it was paid as a skill book.

I’m glad the ratings are maintained.

[Acquires 21 points.]

[Kill Goblins (15/10)]

I shrugged and left the seat.

And you never know when or where they’ll show up.

“Let’s keep trying.”

Until something hidden on the 7th floor comes out.

The method was simple.

I lured them in with a firebomb and killed those who fell behind the pack.

If they seemed to be surrounded, they escaped by sprinting, and if there was nowhere to run, they pierced the road with fire bombs.

I took a rope from my backpack and set a simple trap just like they did.

“Geek twee!”

“Deokchun is nice.”

The ones I missed or couldn’t find were solved by Deokchun.

Still a ghost. A single spit would just melt the goblins.

[Acquires 7 points.]

After all, it’s a pet.

Deokchun’s hunting was recognized as something I caught.

[Killing Goblins (39/10)]

I was able to catch 39 goblins by rolling around like that for half a day.

“Ki Kiruru.”

ah. cancellation. If you catch one of those guys, you will fill 40 of them.

It’s neat when it matches with a 10-digit number.

I twirled my sword and approached him. -Put the sword into your

chest

.

A notification popped up at the same time.

[Kill Goblins (40/10)]

– Killed more than 40 goblins.

– A reward starter kit is given!

“oh?”

I caught something falling from above.

capsule? pill?

It was a small rectangular object, but the scent that rose subtly was quite nice.

That’s not what’s important.

The identity of the item I received.

The corners of my mouth went up as I read the explanation.

[Starter Kit (A)]

-7 8 Used in the 9th floor growth section. (Eat it.)

-Status improves when hunting monsters.

– How about fighting hard?

– There is a limit to the stats that increase depending on the type of monster.

“This was it!”

I could see why this place was a growth zone.

I swallowed the starter kit. I got it at best, but there is no need to hesitate.

“Big. It doesn’t taste bad.”

The face automatically frowns.

The fragrance is rosemary, but the taste is complex and subtle.

cat food? detox juice? Or is it a mix of both?

It doesn’t matter. If only I could be strong

I am already awakening and my stats have risen significantly.

If you add extra stats to this, you won’t have to run around avoiding goblins anymore.

You might be able to break it head-on.

aww teeth are grinding

All the goblin pups are dead. When I think of all the hard work I’ve done running around like a dog, I…

“Crab. to him.”

“huh? why?”

I was thinking about beating the goblins, but Deokchun tugged at my cheek.

When I turn my gaze, the guy pointing at the notification window.

I wanted something, so I looked it up, and while eating the starter kit, an explanation was added.

– Complete intake.

– The effect is applied.

-Goblin (0/100)

0… The number didn’t change even after looking at it.

Of course, you have to hunt after eating the starter kit to raise your stats…

That’s right.

“…Uh. Do I have to catch it again from the beginning?”

It was that I had to run Nogada again.
