Chapter 529. 33rd floor, ‘Refloor’, the city of magic engineering (3) The reason
why the city of magic engineering was made today is because there were some great pioneers.
The sages called the pillars of ‘Refloor’.
and present.
All three wise men were gathered in the ‘Crystal Tower’.
in heavy silence.
A huge screen appeared in front of everyone.
[The real-time scene is broadcast.]
In the video, Jinhyeok and the rest of the members appeared.
A city that can be said to be the essence of brilliant civilization, magic, and mechanical engineering…
…a dark shadow was cast.
Dozens of men and women were sweating profusely, repeating the same labor.
In particular, Jinhyeok, who holds a whip from behind and treats people like slaves, looked no different from the devil.
Reflow’s magic engineers, who emphasize creativity and ideas, are bound to frown.
“That’s terrible…”
“It’s an insult to magic engineering!”
“Heh heh heh. That’s absurd.”
If it’s normal, it’s enough to curse and get rid of it in moderation.
It was because it was impossible to understand the profound magical engineering no matter how hard he tried.
But…
[…success!]
[Achieved an amazing achievement!]
[Leaved traces on Refloor!]
Somehow, a man named Kang Jin-hyeok was clearing the quest so skillfully.
Faster than any outsider who had come here before.
A few eyes narrowed.
Whoops!
Machines that have just been completed in the screen are elaborately interlocked and rotated.
When magic power was injected into it, the clock wheels began to operate with a loud noise.
The achievement rate of the linked quest was a whopping 38%.
It was an unbelievable speed even considering that it was F-class.
Moreover, it is a hidden quest route that can only be reached with a probability of less than 0.01% to cleverly twist and clear part of the linked quest.
I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or not, but if it goes on like this, it might cause a huge wave.
So…
Johannes.
Ulkara.
The three wise men of
Pradok Reflor gathered together in one place.
In order to devise a countermeasure on how to solve this problem.
More precisely…
I was struggling to please the presence standing by the window in the conference room.
The black dragon ‘Pandragon’.
He was the leader of the Black Dragon, which had the most savage and cruel character among the dragon races, and was also the actual owner of the 33rd floor.
Black hair like obsidian.
Its sculptural appearance seemed to show the extremes of polymorph magic.
“Even if the three most intelligent guys gather, they can’t come up with a clear answer.”
Pendragon expressed uncomfortable feelings.
Then the air in the room changed completely.
The golems protecting the three wise men also hesitated and stepped back.
It was because the crystal ball itself froze because of the overwhelming amount of life.
“Please wait. It is true that the opponent is not serious, but the hidden quest is not so easy to reach. Even we don’t know the exact conditions, so how can a guy who just entered the 33rd floor know all that? It’s fair to say that it’s just a coincidence that we’ve come this far.”
Johannes hastily added an explanation.
‘I must never buy the dragon’s wrath… I have to stop it even at the cost of my life.’
That if you incur Pendragon’s wrath, the entirety of Refloor could turn into ashes.
Johannes knew better than anyone else.
“That’s an excuse not worth listening to.”
Black energy condensed along Pendragon’s fingertips.
Breath.
No, it is the ‘Name Feast’, a power that only those who have been given a name among the ancients can manifest.
As the size was reduced, the power was reduced, but it had the advantage of being able to complete the spell with just one such light gesture.
“Please calm down. You are a great being.”
“We will take care of it on our own. So that the secret of your concern never leaks out.”
Ulkara and Pradok also bowed their heads.
however.
[A player who has fulfilled the requirements of the Hidden Quest has appeared!]
[The SSS-level linked quest ‘The Throne of the Red Flame’ begins.] An
unexpected status message appeared in front of everyone.
The faces of the three wise men crumpled like paper.
???
‘Kyaa. It’s neat.’
After confirming the linked quest, Jinhyeok clenched his fists.
I was nervous because it didn’t lead to the quest I wanted even though I put in a lot of effort for a long time.
I finally got my hands on the quest to get on track.
‘Eye of gluttony’ quickly skimmed over the details of the quest.
[The Throne of Red Flame – Hidden Link Quest]
Difficulty: SSS
Content: The path to enjoy the honor and glory of the Fire Spirit King. Those who challenge this quest must find the hidden secrets and seals of ‘Egoni’, the king of fire spirits. (Minimum 1 party member, Max 99)
Capture a fire elemental and use it to gain clues about Egoni, one of the missing elemental kings.
When using the ‘Fire Key’, the gate to the ruins will open.
To clear the 33rd floor, one of three conditions must be met.
The first is to leave an achievement in Refloor after changing the second job as a magic engineer.
Second, clear all 10 or more ruins, 3 labyrinths, and 10 dungeons on the 33rd floor.
Finally, the third is to clear all of the S-ranks or higher in the linked quests.
conditions that are not easy.
Among them, Jinhyeok chose a route that boasts the highest level of difficulty.
‘Of course, the reward would be as sweet as that.’
The fire spirit king, Egoni, is also closely related to Reflor.
And… beyond the 33rd floor, it was also the key to the secret that the dragons never wanted to reveal to the world.
“Ohhh!”
“It’s done. it’s okay!”
“SSS class… I can’t believe I’ve been given a hidden chain quest!”
“mother. this poor son of a bitch. I finally succeeded hahaha! From now on, only flower paths will unfold!”
Everyone cheered.
for the past 3 days.
I couldn’t sleep or eat, and I just worked like a dog.
The industrial revolution of the 18th century felt like child’s play. He really made magic tools like a slave.
And finally.
It was time to taste the sweet fruit that comes after suffering.
Up until now, while climbing the Tower of Trials, I had received SSS-level quests that only came to a very small number of 100 or so people.
Success or not is second to none. The mere fact of participating as a member of that great journey made my heart beat.
“Everyone has been through a lot during this time. It’s all thanks to you.”
Jinhyeok thanked everyone for their hard work.
“Am I finally able to take a hot bath?”
“I’m going to eat meat and drink until my stomach explodes!”
“Don’t forget to sleep on a soft bed until the evening.”
Everyone swelled up in their dreams and uttered one word at a time.
Expecting to get at least a day off.
but.
“yes? What are you all talking about?”
Jinhyeok had no intention of letting everyone rest.
It’s a natural story.
Now that we are back on track, what kind of rest do we need?
In this world, only the strong survive.
Jinhyeok trampled on everyone’s hopes and held the light green key in the air.
[The ruin ‘Dark Volcano’ is open!]
[All members of player Kang Jin-hyeok’s party are forcibly summoned to the ruin!]
“Oh no!”
“Aaaagh!”
My eyesight was blackened.
When I opened my eyes again, everything was completely different.
Roaring!
Cuckoo!
Magma spewing out here and there and gears that were half melted.
Only crystal balls that had lost their light were decorating the huge crater.
Everyone looked around in a daze with a bewildered look on their faces.
I fell at the entrance of the ruins out of nowhere, so of course I couldn’t help but be dumbfounded.
Above all, he never imagined that he would come to the ruins of the tower, which boasts the highest level of difficulty, without any preparation.
As if only Alice, Yoo Yeon-hwa, and Lee Tae-min had expected, they quickly checked the weapons and equipment.
“As expected, it’s brotherly.”
“I can’t help it. We have to hit it with our bodies in our style.”
“Huh. This time it’s a volcanic area.”
[Lee Tae-min activates Lv21 ‘Mobile Patrol’!]
Wii-ing!
Drones flew around and scanned the terrain.
“…uh? sister!”
But just then when Lee Tae-min shouted.
“Curp…”
The sound of liquid sloshing was heard from behind the rock.
The stones melted as they were, and dark red magma was scattered in all directions.
Magma Golem.
It is a high-ranking species among golems and is a kind of mechanical weapon created as a product of magical engineering.
Of course, the basic level and attack power must be different from ordinary golems.
Kwak Kwah Kwah Kwah!
Volcanic bombs immediately rained down on players who broke into the ruins.
A huge fire engulfed the area.
“Aaaagh!”
“Avoid the blood!”
“Those who are learning ice magic, hurry up!”
“Damn it!”
There was no way the solidarity would work well among the mercenaries who were mainly active as soloists.
However, like those who have gone through all kinds of prenatal battles, they didn’t even get along with each other.
Took!
fault!
Tankers attracted the attention of the magma golem through ‘provocation’, and magic players cast ‘water property’ magic and ‘ice magic’.
Pew!
Kwaaang!
Ice shards scattered and various magics exploded.
however.
“What is it?”
“I can’t believe it…”
The players who were attacking with all their might let out screams full of astonishment.
“Churruk…”
The body of the magma golem didn’t have any of those common scars.
He was looking at the intruders with the same appearance as when they first met, as if he didn’t care about the skill of the opposite.
“Are you saying it lacked power?”
“Nonsense. anyway it is Does it make sense that the monster at the entrance is like that?”
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, what is going on now?”
I couldn’t help but fall into a panic.
Because it meant there was nothing they could do.
‘As expected, no one seems to have understood this place properly.’
Seeing this, Jinhyuk smiled.
To say the least, this is a somewhat acceptable response.
It was filthy difficult to kill that magma golem if you didn’t know the strategy.
‘You have to use your magical engineering-related abilities to do the right damage. Even I won’t be able to use only half of my original abilities in this ruin.’
In other words.
It was the moment when the value of Lee Tae-min rose rapidly.
[The magma golem activates Lv20 ‘Liquid Bomit’!]
Thick magma spewed out of its wide open mouth.
A huge volcanic bomb covered in magma stretched forward in an instant.
That moment.
“Haaaap!”
The flexible flower drew mana from the front.
A terrifying blast erupted from the blue-tinted bridge.
[Flexibility activates Lv22 ‘Scissor Kick’!]
Kwajik!
A volcanic bomb torn in half.
The kick was so clean it was like cutting through the air with a sword.
“Leave behind me, sister! It’s drying up!”
What followed was carpet bombing by drones triggered by Lee Tae-min.
[Lee Tae-min activates Lv23 ‘Call of Duty’!]
Pupperpuppung!
When the ice bomb embedded in the crystal ball exploded, the magma golem’s body froze.
The one who hadn’t budged even when knocked so far was silenced with a single blow.
‘Good. It’s more than expected.’
Jinhyuk nodded.
One of the purposes of coming here.
It is to open the unique window of Lee Tae-min and Yoo Yeon-hwa.
In addition to simply clearing the 33rd floor, it was necessary to reinforce this side’s strength as much as possible in order to deal with the black lizard behind it and the rest of the ancient dragons.
‘If everything goes well as expected, sooner or later I’ll be able to release the True Name of Sweet Potato as well.’
not in a hurry
yet perfect.
All variables and possibilities must be weighed.
While intuitively observing the battle, Jinhyeok continued to draw a blueprint in his head to conquer the top of the tower.
And these ruins will be the first step in determining the attack on the upper floors and what will happen in the future.
