Stuck in The Tower

Episode 722: Challenge?

I swung my sword excitedly.

As I climbed the tower, I encountered all kinds of races.

I even encountered the rare homunculi and dragons, so I thought I had seen most of the races.

‘Barbarian is new!’

The world was wide, and of course there were races I hadn’t seen.

Barbarian was like that.

Huge body.

The appearance itself was no different from that of a human being.

-Quaang!

Basically, their natural muscular strength, physical strength, and hard skin were significantly different from those of humans.

As soon as you get close to it, the scent that comes up makes your nose tingle.

I think I understand why they call them barbarians.

“Let’s wash up and live, you guys.”

“A warrior washes himself in the heat of battle.”

“ah. “Bad breath.”

Brush your teeth a bit too.

I guess my body temperature was high, but when I put my swords together, I could feel the guy’s hot, nasty breath.

Apart from that.

“Khaaah!”

Barbarians were born warriors.

Should I call it spirit? Or should I say wild.

I feel like I’m dealing with animals rather than people.

Battle-mad guys who don’t know how to retreat.

-Kwazijic!

Even though it was clear that he was at a disadvantage, he showed his spirit and hit the head of the guy who was running towards him.

The dead guy falls forward.

“A strong warrior!”

“Did the cowards in the center have such a thing?!”

-Wow!

Even though his colleague died, he only cheered the other barbarians and did not go on a rampage to seek revenge.

If the fight was fair, I don’t think there would be any complaints.

“Whoa.”

I took a moment to catch my breath and sort out the information about the barbarian.

It is definitely a unique species.

A being who is not permitted to use magic.

Instead, surprisingly, those who gained strong bodies were barbarians.

[Tip. Barbarians cannot use skills. Instead, the body evolves!]

They couldn’t even use their skills.

It appears that the skill is also designated as magic.

Even giants weren’t like this.

Still, it seems like I can use powers and titles.

‘They’re really crazy people.’

That’s what I decided.

The body evolves instead of skills?

I learned clearly what that meant while fighting them.

Since I received a blow containing a skill with my bare body, there is nothing more to say.

Even soul tearing doesn’t work properly.

Not being able to use magic is another way to say it.

‘It means that he ignores the magic fired at him.’

They are just a race that blatantly hates magic.

Thanks to this, I am now fighting an unwanted, sweaty fight.

Even so, it wasn’t difficult.

Because this was a reasonable amount to deal with.

‘I don’t know what the guy at the main university is like.’

There is a barbarian there who is estimated to have climbed to the 90th floor.

This guy is coming after destroying everything located to the north.

Currently, there is 1 Despair and 4 Disasters on the 98th floor.

A fragment of chaos that appears without any sign and destroys everything. That was a despair.

“Barbarian. Dwarf. vampire. Prisoner.”

The leaders of each tribe are the four disasters.

Beings that narrow the scope of humanity.

There are no personal feelings.

Only people live in this world. Other races live too.

In the end, I’m saying I’ll survive, so I have no complaints.

‘Not from the perspective of being invaded.’

What can I do?

If it’s impossible for us to get along well, I have to protect my own home.

In that sense, it was right for me to handle the Barbarian.

There’s no particular reason.

‘There are quite a few people who have bad compatibility with barbarians.’

Even if it is not a skill, it would be better for me to be a bald man who can compete with a sword and a non-fighter from the beginning, but for those who are highly dependent on skills, the barbarian is a natural enemy.

What can I say if I just see the skill not working properly?

“Isn’t it just a fragment of Little Chaos?”

They also don’t take damage if their chaos level is low.

It feels similar, except that the attack doesn’t work.

anyway.

“There is no one among you stronger than me! “Bring the leader!”

I killed all the guys who attacked me.

There were still barbarians left, but they did not pose a challenge.

These guys are ranked strictly based on strength.

We do not challenge those who have won a prize with a significant difference in rank.

Because it was also an insult for the clearly weak to challenge the strong.

“Wow! “I’m angry, but he’s right!”

“Strong in small topics.”

“In my brilliant mind, the more diverse the color of armor a human knight has, the stronger he is!”

“Oh oh! “It really is a shining head!”

“Light hair!”

“Light hair!”

“…I feel bad for some reason. do not do that.”

It seems like there is a flaw in my intelligence.

One of the marauders said this:

The reason Barbarians are rejected by magic is because they are too stupid.

I’m glad that communication is possible.

Among the remaining barbarians, the one with the highest rank came forward.

“What is your name, strong warrior?”

“It’s Evil Eye.”

“Yes, Ibur. “In the name of Tatun, I will definitely deliver your challenge to the leader.”

“No, it’s Evileye.”

“See you again next time!”

With those words, the barbarians who had been on the front line rushed back.

The back of my head pulled for no reason.

Is it because of my mood that I see a bald man superimposed on their backs?

done. Where are you just walking around calmly?

That’s better than making people feel tired just because it’s all a ruse or strategy.

“Lord Evileye must have had amazing skills.”

“It’s not something I can brag about anywhere.”

“It’s rude to be too humble. “Thank you for your help.”

Mac bows his head.

He waved his hand and said it was no big deal.

For a barbarian attack, the damage is minimal.

Needless to say, the reason was because the knight in front of us, Mac, protected the people.

“The one who did the most was Sir Mac. Come to the citadel. “He should be protecting the villagers by now.”

“What if it’s a castle?”

“yes. “I’m managing the fortress for a while.”

-Hwiik!

Good timing too.

The marauders are coming with horses.

One of them also has a black warhorse in his hand.

Mac’s expression brightens.

“Captain! On the way, I found some useful words!”

“huh. Bring it. “Lord Mac is the owner.”

“yes! I don’t know if I’ve told you, but my hobby is finding lost things. haha!”

The guy who quickly handed the reins over to Mac retreats.

“You were cool!”

“You can do it when you grow up.”

“I’m not good at using a sword.”

“It increases as you use it.”

I just thought about it.

‘I’ve never taught you swordsmanship.’

They taught me a lot about survival and other hunting techniques, but they didn’t teach me anything about swordsmanship.

My body hasn’t fully grown yet, and swordsmanship cannot be said to be learned in a short period of time.

I also wouldn’t have been able to learn this quickly if it weren’t for Alios’ power and memories.

but.

-Whoop! Hung!

People have something called talent.

The sight of Elini swinging a sword the size of her body, perhaps imitating me, is unusual.

It seems like the sword is thrown out at random, but the result is.

-Paang!

I am shocked to see this.

Was it like this originally?

The most common mistake when swinging a sword is the habit of trying to use only the center of gravity and arms.

Surprisingly, Ellini.

“It is possible. “No, you can do it.”

It uses its entire body with its innate senses.

If there is just one thing I regret.

‘When drawing from left to right, the line is short.’

My right arm was broken and put back together incorrectly.

As a result, the right arm was slightly shorter than the left arm, and the trajectory of the sword stroke was slightly different.

‘I feel like I want to cure it, but it’s impossible.’

Since it is already attached, it cannot be restored to its original state even if it is broken and reassembled.

You wouldn’t know it if she was a fully grown adult, but Elini was growing up and her body had already grown out of the wrong place.

The body developed with shorter arms.

Even so, his talent did not fade.

“It’s a great sword. “Elini, is there a reason you chose that sword?”

The black claymore chosen by Elini. It was a great sword.

It was a weapon as big as his own body, and it was not something to handle easily.

Elini blinked at my question and answered.

“uh. “Because I’m small?”

indeed. Are you trying to cover up your physical disadvantage with a weapon?

I thought you chose something that looked cool out of ignorance.

“And for some reason, I can hold it well in my hand.”

It was a poorly made wooden sword, but it seemed to fit comfortably in the hand.

The sword is not good.

The compatibility between people and weapons is good.

Even though I learned spearmanship from Mangu, I mainly use a sword.

Just like the hair loss man insists on punching.

My worries are over.

Anyway, I have to stay here until the candidates gather.

It’s not difficult to teach a little bit of swordsmanship.

then.

“Because I don’t know much about great swords. “I will learn from other experts.”

I entrusted Elini to Mac.

It means to go together when returning to the fortress.

“It won’t take long.”

“Come on time. “It’s a delicious deal tonight.”

Elini waves her hand.

Before, I thought he might run away, but now it’s the opposite.

They’ve been waiting for me to come back.

I guess this is also one of the twisted parts of the 98th floor.

He raised the corners of his mouth and kicked his feet.

-Quaang!

The destination is set.

From what I heard, the leader of the barbarians who came here was.

‘I said I would use a great sword.’

Anyway, I guess I’ll have to move up the date of our meeting.

I’ve climbed up to the 90th floor, so I don’t know, but I’m sure I’ll use it well.

There is nothing better than actual practice to learn anything.

At least I did.

-Huung.

Soon, we were able to reach the canyon where the barbarians were concentrated.

A human who suddenly appears.

Speculation appears in the barbarian’s eyes.

“Oh oh! human!”

“You are the first to come to us!”

“Are you here to fight?”

To be belligerent.

Did you come to fight as soon as you arrived?

That’s correct.

“I made an appointment. “Is Tatun still there?”

“Tatun? ah! Ibur!”

“A strong human warrior!”

Looks like I didn’t come first.

good night. Dealing with each and every one of these guys is a hassle.

-Roaring!

A vibration sound is heard.

“come! “Great Barbarian!”

“Galan has come to greet the challenger!”

The big guys make a fuss and step aside.

The guy coming through them.

‘oh. quite.’

The momentum felt is unusual.

A monster in which all the skills gained by climbing up to the 90th floor were achieved through physical growth.

“I heard the story, Ibur.”

“It became Evil, not Ibur. okay. “I call you.”

“I heard you are running for my position. We are warriors. “It doesn’t matter if they are different as long as they are the same warrior.”

uh?

I think there is a bit of a misunderstanding.

I don’t want to be the leader of the barbarians.

“For the sacred struggle!”

“Oooooh!”

When Galan raised his greatsword and shouted, the barbarians cheered in unison.

Challenge. Challenge.

Is this what this guy wanted to announce as a challenge?

My head already hurts, but whatever.

“Challenger, are you ready?”

“More than enough.”

No words were needed.

thud!

He kicked his foot.

-Quaaaaaang!

His greatsword and my sword collided.

Air bursting out with a roar.

Let’s taste it.

What is the power of the NPC who reached the 90th floor?
