Chapter 120: The Snail Tunnel
Aso swayed downward.
Rustle.
Her sword pierced through the cry, and an ice flower bloomed on it.
"Ice?"
Conou's eyes sparkled.
He had never seen her use this method before.
"Did she just learn?"
Cono thought back to all the knightly skills he knew, but he couldn't think of any skills to create ice.
"I'll ask her later. Right now...
Conou attacks a weeping man like a beast.
"Ahh
Aso swung his sword diagonally.
Fissure.
As soon as her blade comes into contact with the ice "flower", the ice shatters, and the ice shards penetrate the weeper's body.
Lesbian!
Crying screams in pain.
In that moment ...
Damn thrust!
A signature vital part appears in the middle of the cry's forehead. Aso moved like lightning and quickly attacked the area.
Whack!
Orange shards burst out, and then Aso attacked with even greater ferocity.
Whenever she was attacked, the crying movement slowed down.
Because of this, she was able to take on a level 110 monster, even though she herself was only level 70.
Not only that, but her successful attacks can occasionally cause ice. Whenever this happens, she will slam into the ice, causing the ice fragments to pierce the monster's body, dealing considerable damage.
Eventually, Aso was able to defeat higher-level enemies on his own. However, in the process, Conou kills the rest of the crying.
"When you attacked, I saw ice coming out of nowhere," Conou said.
"Ahh When I reached level 70, a friend of mine gave this to me. β
Aso showed him her necklace.
A blue gemstone is set in the middle, while the rest of the necklace shows a level of craftsmanship. It was a very beautiful necklace. At first glance, this is clearly a masterpiece!
"Is it good?"
"Yes. Whenever I attack, it chills my enemies and slows them down. In addition, it occasionally produces ice, and when I attack it, it does extra damage," Aso explained.
"Oh, that's great. What level is this?"
"S-Class!"
"I see. β
Conou nodded.
The bigger the dungeon, the harder it is for Aso to make an impact. Having that piece of equipment would help her a lot, though.
"Okay. We're ready now, so let's really start cleaning up this dungeon. β
They have 55 minutes left. By that time, the two of them had to reach the other end of the tunnel.
"Let's go!"
Aso moved forward enthusiastically. Conou was right behind her.
There are four main monsters in the worm tunnel.
Miner without a soul, Najim!
Shriek!
Bugs that pop out of the ground to attack and trap the cochlea!
Those stones stuck in the ceiling, which will fall whenever a player passes by, falling stones!
In order to pass through the worm tunnel, Koo and Aso have to deal with these monsters.
"Up there!" Conou shouted.
Aso glanced at the ceiling and quickly rolled to the floor.
One after another.
Falling rocks fall from the ceiling.
They are spherical in shape, rough in appearance, and they also have evil faces.
"Floor!" Conou shouted again.
Aso quickly retreated.
Wow!
A snare of long pincers suddenly appeared on the ground.
Gulara!
A crowd of people rushed over from behind, screaming.
"They get together and that's exactly what I like. β
Conou struck a flippant pose, wielding his sword.
Storm Tiger!
The golden tiger rushed into a tunnel filled with orange light.
Correct!
The aura swept over falling rocks, crystals, and snares.
Wow.
The aura is followed by a powerful wind, but they are mediocre, perhaps because of his limited abilities.
Again, the golden aura is already very powerful, and the follow-up wind is actually unnecessary.
Cono then kills all the monsters that survived his rampaging tigers.
However... οΌ
Bang! Bang!
He heard a heavy "thud" coming from the other end of the tunnel.
"A named monster is coming," Conou said.
"You said the named monster was roaming around at both ends of the tunnel, right?"
"Yes. β
There is no such thing as a large monster in the Worm Tunnel, but a named monster.
After a while ...
The named monster appeared, illuminated by an orange light overhead.
[You found lithification]
[It's a named monster.] ]
The stonemason is about 3 meters tall, with a face, a corpse, and human-like limbs.
However, its entire body is made up of rough falling stones.
Bang.
With each step, a heavy "bang" resounded throughout the tunnel. It may be small, but its weight is undeniable.
"Once the battle starts, it periodically shoots rocks here and there, and then fuses together. β
"Okay. β
"Dodge when it hits a rock, attack when it fuses together. β
The stone man has a simple attack pattern, so it's easy to deal with.
However, shooting falling rocks is a terrible attack, so one must stay focused throughout the fight.
"Hitting a falling rock is a powerful action, so you have to dodge it anyway. β
"Understood. β
"Let's go. β
Conou rushed to the pile of stones first.
The stonemason stopped suddenly.
Prosperity!
Its body exploded.
"Get out of the way!"
Wow!
Falling rocks flew through the sky.
They were stopped by stones, as if facing several catapults that were throwing stones at them at the same time.
Cono dodges the rocks as if playing a shooting game.
Avoiding them is a piece of cake, his ultra-instincts combined with his masterful evasion.
Aso, on the other hand, is in some trouble. Not only is she low-level, but she also doesn't have hyper-intuition.
Still, Aso didn't lose her focus. She rolled to the floor, moving non-stop. Eventually, she was able to dodge all the attacks meticulously.
"Attack all the rockfalls in the vicinity," Conou shouted as soon as the anti-aircraft fire ended.
Falling rocks gather in one place. Kang Ou and Aso swing their swords at a nearby falling rock.
Slash!
Honor Strike 1
Whack!
Their hands felt a tingle when their swords touched.
Spit!
The falling stone pursed his lips as if spitting out a watermelon seed, spitting out a sharp rock fragment.
They were used to it, so Conou and Aso kept their cool and continued to attack.
At a certain moment, the falling rocks come together to form a single rock.
"It's coming!"
The pile of stones exploded again.
Bang!
Congou and Aso managed to dodge their rock-throwing way.
However... οΌ
"Ahh β
Aso's movements are not normal. Her movements slowed down, as if she were overwhelmed.
"She doesn't have enough stamina!"
He knew right away what was going on. Endurance increases with level, so she won't have much at first as a low-level knight.
Despite this, she constantly attacks and dodges, which puts her stamina at rock bottom.
In that moment ...
A falling stone flew straight at her. Aso had no way of escaping.
"No!"
Conou threw his body at her.
He barely survived, protecting her with his body.
"I'm counting on you, Baramut!"
The tumbling rock hits Conou.
Wow.
A fresh breeze blew. At the same time, the Baramut also made its debut.
[The special ability of the Balamute suit, the windshield has been activated.] ]
[Attack ineffective.] ]
Unsurprisingly, the BalamΓΌt set did not disappoint him.
The Balamut set is activated when he is about to take fatal damage, rendering it ineffective.
Kang'ou, who had just succeeded, quickly dragged Aso away. After all, falling rocks are still flying towards them.
After a while ...
The bombing is finally over.
"Are you alright?"
Conou glanced at her.
"That's my line. Are you okay?" asked Aso with concern.
"Yes. My stuff keeps me safe. β
Conou grinned.
"I was so excited, so my stamina didn't work as well. I'm sorry. β
"Don't worry. It's going to happen. β
If Ed made this mistake, he would be angry, but Aso is beautiful, so he can let it go.
"Keep an eye on your stamina, anyway, okay?"
"Okay. I won't make this mistake again!"
"Good. β
Kang'ou and Aso repeatedly attack a falling rock that is gathering with others.
After that, Conou and Aso will dodge when the stone flies towards them, and when they try to combine again, they will attack.
Aso kept her promise. She was not threatened by her physical strength.
Ultimately...
Stogany's health drops to 0, and the falling rocks that make up his body shatter.
[You defeat Stoneny.] ]
"Opa, thank you for saving me again. β
Aso bowed.
"Don't mention it. β
Cono grinned and checked the time.
"We have ... There are 30 minutes left. That's plenty of time
They hadn't entered the worm tunnel for 30 minutes.
They've now crossed more than half of the tunnel and have defeated the named monster, so they can complete the mission with ease.
Aso picks up what Stonegeny has dropped. It was a stone in the shape of a star, like a piece of star candy, with a bag of hard candy on it.
"It's a material, a falling core," she said.
"What is its level?"
"Class B. β
"You can have it. β
Conou lost interest when he heard "Grade B" and "Materials".
She put the item in her inventory, and the two of them walked through the tunnel again.
Later...
After 45 minutes, the two confidently exited the worm passage.
They have apparently also done their job.
Jae Woo and so-ah, who left the capsule room, returned to the studio to complete the shooting.
"Please applaud the team that completed the task. βγ
Shoot, shoot, shoot.
Staff and attendees applauded mechanically.
"That's true. Well done everyone. You can do whatever you want?" asked Quan Shengguo.
"Yes!" shouted Park.
His sudden reaction caused laughter from the other participants.
"Man, Mr. Pei Shi. Looks like you've accomplished your mission.
"Whew, whew. Of course. β
His face was full of confidence.
"Now, let's see if the other groups have done their job. Ms. So-hee. β
At his call, Kang Sexi took over.
"Look at the big screen. β
When she pointed to the screen, a list of participants appeared on it.
As expected, everyone accomplished their mission
None of the teams failed, perhaps because they were still in a more relaxed dungeon.
"All the teams have done their job. β
Kang Sexi raised his voice.
"Let's see how much money you make, shall we?"
$3 million ($3,000) replaces "Success" next to their name.
"Oh my gosh. Still only 3 million yuan?" said Quan Shengguo.
"Whew, whew. We just passed the level 2 dungeon. β
"That means they still have more opportunities to make money. β
"That's right. But don't forget that if you fail, you will be punished!"
So-hee smiled mischievously.
"Can we hear from the group?"
Shenggu chatted with the participants, just like the last time after their dungeon conquest.
Rao Yu replied as plainly as usual.
After that, the hosts Kang Seung-hee and Jeon Seung-kook gave closing remarks.
"It's unfortunate, but now it's time to say goodbye. β
Conseil waved his hand.
"Please look forward to our dungeon conquest men/girls show. β
Quan Shengguo smiled and waved lightly with one hand.
"Cut!"
"Well done. β
"Thank you all for your hard work. βγ
"Well done!"
The second shoot is over.
