Stuck in The Tower

Chapter 58 What, Who?

Kildereth appeared in the main arena.

There was no sign of their appearance, but they appeared as if they were supposed to be there.

After all, NPCs are not common.

“You must have enjoyed the preliminaries, right?”

faded firecrackers.

Cheers erupted from the crowd at Kildereth’s question.

The atmosphere is hot.

I haven’t seen it, but it looks like it was a pretty great game.

‘If I had woken up a little earlier, I would have been able to devise some strategies.’

I’m sorry but I can’t help it.

What matters is the future.

“The finals will be held as a tournament. A total of 15 people made it to the finals!”

A screen floated in the air at his cry.

Group A and Group B.

was split in two.

“I’m in Group B.”

With a bye reserved, I went to Group B.

Originally, I had to win three times in a row to go to the finals, but I only need to win two times to reach the finals.

They are definitely getting more benefits than others.

Because I didn’t even play the preliminaries.

Is it because of that?

“what? 15 people? Only 14 of us made it to the finals.”

“Where did the guy in Group B come from?”

“Isn’t this cheating!”

Protests came from spectators and other finalists.

Kildereth gave a shy smile as if she was in trouble.

Perhaps because of the lukewarm response, the uproar grew even bigger.

-Taak

[Silence (S) Lv.MAX]

As soon as he snapped his fingers, all sounds disappeared.

forced silence. People panic and open their mouths, but no screams come out.

Me too.

‘crazy. You leveled up silence to S rank?’

I was astonished.

I don’t know about anyone else, but I, who has the power to read information, know exactly what he did.

silence. That’s a skill that doesn’t exceed E-class no matter how well you hit it.

The maximum level set for each grade is 10.

The skill system is that if you upgrade the grade there, you will be promoted to the next grade.

‘It goes up to grade B right away, but from grade A, the detailed grades will be divided.’

Grade A is followed by Grade AA. Next is AAA level.

You have to raise the grade once more to reach the S rank.

That means that Kildereth has promoted his Silence skill 7 times.

It was a ridiculous result considering that the higher the grade, the more experience required.

‘Why are people struggling to get high-level skills?’

This is because the higher the birth grade, the lower the number of rank-ups.

Because you can use powerful skills faster and with less effort.

Kildares, who was looking around the crowd with a calm face, opened his mouth.

“Since it was decided after self-examination, we do not accept complaints.”

firm speech.

The audience, feeling the overwhelming difference, stiffened their bodies.

The skill was released, but no one was talking carelessly.

– Damn!

Killdereth clapped his hands and drew attention, perhaps trying to revive the subdued atmosphere.

A mischievous smile hangs over his mouth.

“Still, it would be a pity to go up without any penalty, right?”

uh? Wait a minute Penalty?

I didn’t say anything like this

While I was parenting, the flow passed.

“Of course not! There shouldn’t be a penalty!”

“Right! Good job!”

“I believed you. shit!”

At once, the atmosphere heated up.

Crowds clamoring to each other.

The finalists behind bars also waved their fists in support.

“You mean you hit the back of the head like this?”

No, did you even say something in advance?

Then sit down even if it’s unfair.

Maybe I didn’t know that this was normal.

Aren’t they NPCs? A being belonging to the Tower. A person who is constrained by the system.

The arena event was only an act that reflected the system’s will.

He was just doing his part.

I made up my mind.

It wasn’t something I could do to break my mental state before an important fight.

The timing to let out a small sigh like that.

【Well, I said this, but I don’t intend to impose a huge penalty.】

Kildereth’s voice was heard.

I trembled and looked around, but he was still floating in the middle of the arena.

Was it an illusion that he squinted his eyes while looking at me?

“The penalty is fine. That would be nice.”

– Dig!

When Kildereth squeezed and opened his hand, a black box with a question mark on it was created.

Boxes were reflected on screens installed throughout the stadium.

While everyone was silent as if concentrating, Kildereth raised a finger.

“I will seal one of his skills. Wouldn’t that be enough penalty?”

Kildereth asked as if asking for consent.

The crowd was silent for a moment.

And the cheers that followed.

-Waaaaaaa!

“That’s enough recognition!”

“Hey Mr. Isn’t this a stronger penalty?”

“If you came up from the preliminaries, this wouldn’t have happened.”

“It’s a pity, son!”

Excited people let out a sound that I don’t know if it’s booing or shouting.

People who always shouted the name of Kildereth.

Indeed, I felt relieved.

‘Was it like that?’

smart too

This is the 10th floor. At most, it was a lot of places if you had three or four skills.

If you’re a handler, maybe more, but if you’re a normal person, maybe two or three?

Sealing one skill was, in fact, equivalent to cutting about a third of its power.

But I was an exception.

“List of skills.”

[Repay (A) Lv.1]

[Fire Bomb (B) Lv.6]

[Mist Rush (B) Lv.3]

[Buff Dice (C) Lv.4]

[Slaughter (C) Lv.1]

[ Feign Death (D) Lv.1]

[Night Vision (E) Lv.4]

[Fire Resistance (E) Lv.3]

[Intimidation (E) Lv.2]

[Deadly Pose (E) Lv.1]

[Poison Resistance (E) Lv.1]

[Water (F) Lv.3]

[Alarm (F) Lv.2]

[Dig (F) Lv.2]

[Fire (F) Lv.2]

[Shower (F) Lv .5]

He possessed a whopping 16 skills.

A rookie in a large guild? processing officer? other up-and-comers?

In front of me, everyone should take a step back.

That’s because I’ve walked a tough road and got a reward worthy of the challenge.

Most of them had nothing to do with combat, but that meant that there was a high possibility that even Killerless’ lottery would take skills that weren’t very necessary.

I don’t know how Kildereth knows I have a lot of skills.

‘What is it? After all, there’s nothing strange about seeing other people’s abilities and skills through authority.’

I looked at Kildereth with a slight smile.

He led the crowd like a good emcee.

“Then let’s try to pull it out. ah. All you see is your skill grade and level. I won’t reveal what kind of skill it is as much as there is privacy.”

meticulous care It’s because I’m not going to reveal information while restricting it.

I watched him do it with satisfaction.

-Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo!

With a sound effect that increased tension, he pulled a ball out of the box and lifted it.

The bursting effect.

admiring people.

“Did you fuck this right?”

“Kkosupda hey!”

“Can’t you just give up now?”

“Looking at the high level, that seems like the main skill!”

I couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

That’s also the skill Kildereth picked out.

[Night Vision (E) Lv.4]

[The use of this skill is limited to events only by the authority of Kildereth, the owner of the arena.]

It was useless in this battle.

I can laugh because I know what is sealed, but not the spectators and participants.

[??? (E) Lv.4]

The information displayed on the screen is like this.

As it is a lower class, the skill level of most hunters is DE level.

Right now, the skill of Oh Ji-hyeok, the 6th floor processing officer, was also the highest grade of D.

Maybe others are similar? At most, I think C-class is the highest.

“Good.”

I was relieved inside.

After the fuss subsided to some extent, the screen changed.

Tournament brackets with no name on them yet.

Group A and Group B were illuminated alternately, and soon Group A screen was enlarged.

There are eight people in Group A.

The light came on in the first round of them.

flames bursting out at the same time.

“Then let’s start the first game right away!”

Two men’s faces were reflected on the screen split in half.

One soldier style with a scar on his forehead.

The other was a young man proudly wearing the mark of the Phoenix Guild.

“Nickname Rock Army! The opponent against him is Park Ho-jong of the Phoenix Guild!”

-Kurrrrr!

As he pointed at two places in the arena, the bars opened and two figures began to emerge.

A rock army wearing a military-colored T-shirt and carrying pouches hanging from his thighs. He is holding a dagger in one hand.

Was it a soldier? Or a concept? Looking back, it was something to know.

Unlike Rock Army, who had a serious expression, Park Ho-jong had a light face.

“I am Park Ho-jong of the Phoenix Guild! Seniors, please keep an eye on us!”

It’s a show from the start. Should I call it a social life?

I didn’t know if that was right. Whether I like it or not, I have to see the top of the tower, but other people climb as much as they can and then go outside.

still.

‘That’s cheeky.’

I couldn’t find any sense of tension, as if I could win against any number of opponents.

Most of the kids who have grown up in large guilds are like that.

People who seem to be the best and don’t have a mediocre affiliation are seen as poor.

wife doesn’t

At least from the point of view of when they were ordinary people, it is true that they are superior.

But this is the top. No one is an opponent to be looked at lightly.

Phoenix officials, who must have been aware of that fact, were sweeping their faces.

‘Phoenix Guild is the 5th largest guild.’

I’ll have to take a look this time. What are the levels of other large guild members?

How great are the skills of those I have to face.

1st only. Because that was my goal.

“The rules are simple. Declaration of Surrender Death inability to fight is considered defeat. Don’t worry though. Because dying in an arena event does not deduct coins!”

Kildereth raised her hand and raised her voice.

“Then let’s begin!”

As soon as his hand dropped, both contestants started running.

Did you pass the preliminary round?

Both were fairly quick. if anything else

‘Park Ho-jong is trying to stick together, and Rock Army is trying to widen the distance.’

It must have been a strategy based on each person’s abilities.

Street fights are more likely to make the difference between winning and losing.

who will win I thought for a while and came to a conclusion.

“Phoenix will win.”

Fine but faster. It also seems to save a little bit of stamina.

Pom, who naturally drives him to the corner, proved that he did not enter a large guild by chance.

“Keugh! Eat this!”

Realizing they were being cornered, the rock army reached into the pouch and threw a stone at them.

Boulders that fly and explode.

[Throwing grenades (D) Lv.3]

The stone broke and shrapnel hit Park Ho-jong.

Will it be eaten? The rock army, who slightly raised the corners of their mouths, threw stones in the pouch one after another.

Scattered pieces of stone, rising dust.

“Do you have an interesting skill?”

It’s not a bad skill at all. The higher the grade, the better the skill will be.

It is versatile enough to be used as a mid-range dealer or a check main attack.

If you have other projectile skills or buff skills, they will show synergy.

but.

“You can’t win with one of them.”

I muttered softly.

– Pooh!

Park Ho-jong, who appeared through the smoke.

The clothes were torn in places, but there were no injuries.

The man, still grinning, reached out his hand.

-Quarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

The electric shock that came out.

Rock Army threw themselves to avoid it somehow, but the timing was too late.

-Pajijijik!

Unable to even scream, he shuddered and collapsed with foam on his face.

clean fight. The winner has been decided.

“Phoenix Guild Park Ho-jong wins!”

-Wow!

People cheered at Kildereth’s cry, and Park Ho-jong bowed his head toward the guild seniors.

It’s an appeal of loyalty until the very end. Aside from being lighthearted, I think I’ll be fine with my guild life.

That’s it.

What would happen if I got hit with that?

I thought about it.

“I think I can barely hold on. I think we can avoid it.”

There is no lightning resistance. it will be thrilling

However, the enhanced physical ability has durability and resistance beyond common sense.

In particular, the higher the magical power, the stronger the resistance to skill attacks.

I have a particularly high magic stat.

In addition, options attached to the Frostfire Sword. Horsepower +30.

Wouldn’t this be enough to withstand quite a few skill attacks?

“I don’t mean to be beaten ignorantly though.”

After a rough analysis, I turned my gaze to the stadium.

A tidy stage.

Kildereth spun around in the air.

“It was a short but impressive game! Then let’s go to the second game!”

It’s good that it goes fast.

I watched the electric signboard.

“The second match of Group A. He’s pretty famous here, right? A man who plans to become the next manager of the Eclipse Guild. Yoon Gi-hak! The opponent I’ll be facing is…”

Kildereth scratched his forehead after he finished his introduction.

But he’s a pro. The introduction continued, raising the tension again.

“uh. The name of the participant is a bit long. Yoon Ki-hak’s opponent is ‘I won the bet, so I’m 1st, so I’ll use the wish ticket. Let’s eat a meal.’

I doubted my ears.
