Level 2 Player
Floor 150 Clear
‘About 100.’
He did expect to some degree.
‘Still, this is too severe.’
There was no below expectation like this below expectation.
Even while Jin-su was frowning, the 200 monsters dominated by the 2 Orc Shamans fought bravely.
Creak!
Crack!
However, they could not endure long and died one by one while receiving the joint attacks of other monsters.
‘The buff power is also not good.’
At the moment Jin-su felt strong regret.
“Kwoek?”
The troll who killed the monster that was being dominated by the Orc Shaman who became an Army Summon was flustered for a moment and then immediately turned his body and swung a club toward another monster.
“Hahaha!”
Jin-su’s face that was dyed in regret brightened.
‘Yeah, that degree has to be done.’
The maximum number of monsters that one Orc Shaman who is an Army Summon can dominate was only 100. However, once the dominating monster dies, he immediately dominates another monster and continued to maintain the number of dominating monsters at 100.
‘The endurance seems quite good.’
The mana possessed by the Orc Shaman summoned with the Army Summon skill that exceeded level 1,000 was quite ample.
‘If moving together with other summons, it will not be bad.’
Since there is also automatically recovering mana, if only adjusted well, 24-hour hunting will be possible.
‘Although it is on the side of falling short of expectations.’
It seemed quite usable for the time being.
Probably if Jin-su’s summons could maintain the combat power of the originals intact, the monsters of Floor 150 would have had their seeds dried up long ago.
‘Summons are better the more there are.’
For the Blessing to grow, hunting 2,000 weak monsters of various kinds was more advantageous than hunting 200 strong monsters of one species.
‘I should release these guys too.’
Jin-su only needs to hunt monsters separately and refill buffs to the summons in between.
‘Still, the buffs increased a lot.’
Originally, Jin-su only possessed healer and summoner buffs. But this time, shaman buffs were added.
Especially among them, the power of buff skills such as Blessing of Madness newly obtained by hunting the out-of-spec monster Orc Shaman this time was quite usable.
‘Let’s confirm just once before that.’
Jin-su deliberately exposed one Orc Shaman who is an Army Summon to the attacks of monsters. To confirm whether the Orc Shaman who became an Army Summon possesses the Immortal Spell.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
The Orc Shaman cannot feel pain because he became an Army Summon. However, he knew how to do at least self-defensive actions.
“Oho!”
However, the Orc Shaman who became an Army Summon only stayed still even at the attacks of monsters.
The reason was simple. Because the attacks of the monsters could not inflict any damage on the Orc Shaman.
‘He possessed the Immortal Spell.’
Whether it is because Army Summon hit level 1,022 or not is unknown, but this was a quite important point.
‘If only the Immortal Spell can be obtained with Skill Sharing, it is a jackpot.’
The problem is the point that the remaining sharing stacks right now are only 2. Because all the remaining stacks were consumed sharing various main skills of the holy type and dark type with each other.
‘Even looking at Leo’s case, sharing skills with summons has large gambling nature.’
If obtaining the Immortal Spell, it is a jackpot, and monster domination is also not bad. However, if receiving buff-related spells shared, it is the appearance of only wasting precious Skill Sharing stacks for nothing.
‘Let’s try later.’
Since the 2 stacks were left for a just-in-case situation, they could not be used carelessly.
Once the situation became like this, the Immortal Spell the Orc Shaman possesses was of no use.
‘There is also no matter of the guy in the rear being attacked.’
It is also not something that can be cast on the summoner Jin-su or other summons or dominating monsters. The Immortal Spell was a skill that can only be used on oneself.
‘It can be used as a shield when urgent.’
It seemed able to do about the role of a type of moving sanctuary during combat.
‘Well, if meeting a strong enemy, it will be useless.’
The Immortal Spell used by the Orc Shaman is only maintained when dominating monsters exist. If a single individual monster with powerful strength appears as an enemy and removes all the dominating monsters, the Immortal Spell also loses power.
‘If summons also become targets of the Immortal Spell application, it is a jackpot.’
Jin-su was thinking of receiving the Immortal Spell the Orc Shaman possesses shared if leeway arises in the stacks. But if summons are included in the Immortal Spell application targets?
‘It means an invincible state until the summons annihilate.’
To Jin-su who controls numerous summons, it was the same as the strongest shield appearing.
‘The thing itself of being able to concentrate full power on attack while ignoring defense is also fraudulent.’
However, currently, there was no way to know whether summons are included in the Immortal Spell application targets or not.
‘But will the Orc Shaman be able to dominate boss monsters too?’
The original was possible. However, whether it is possible even now that he became an Army Summon was questionable.
“Leo, continue gathering monsters.”
Jin-su said while stroking Leo’s head.
“Nyaaang! Nyaaang! Nyaaang!”
In response, Leo successively cast wide-area provocation roars. Then monsters continued to gather.
“Kuwoooek!”
At that time, the Orc Shaman who became an Army Summon also let out a roar.
‘Come to think of it, the Orc Shaman could also gather monsters. It seems usable?’
Leo always goes around together with Jin-su. That is why the summons had to find and use monsters. However, now the circumstances changed. If including the 2 Orc Shamans in other summon groups, it became possible to hunt monsters more quickly and easily.
Dududududu!
“Krrrr!”
“Kyaung!”
Monsters gathered from all sides.
“Kuuuek!”
And among them, 1 orc chieftain who is a boss monster and 5 orc great warriors were included.
‘Try displaying your skill once.’
Jin-su looked at the Orc Shamans with an expectant gaze.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
The orc chieftain and orc great warriors gathered in a rush.
“Krruk?”
At that time, the orc great warriors tilted their heads and then swung clubs toward the orc chieftain.
Whoosh!
Crack!
“Kwoek!”
The orc chieftain attacked by subordinates raged and engaged in a fierce combat with the orc great warriors.
Creak! Kwaang! Crack!
A close battle where bones break and flesh flies occurred between the orc chieftain and orc great warriors. However, what Jin-su was interested in was not who wins.
‘It seems chieftain grade is not possible. Is great warrior grade the limit.’
Jin-su clicked his tongue in regret.
‘Even if hitting level 1,022, it is worse than the original in all parts.’
Actually, in the case of the Orc Shaman, rather than becoming an out-of-spec monster because the individual itself possesses powerful strength...
‘It is a feeling that the Tower granted vast mana.’
It was an appearance as if strengthening and using one boss monster as needed.
‘Still, since it possesses all the essential skills up to wide-area provocation, monster domination, buff, and invincibility. I will have to be satisfied with this degree for now.’
The point that there is room to become stronger if the level of the Army Summon skill rises was fortunate.
‘If climbing the Tower more, it might become useless.’
Honestly, no matter how much downgraded compared to the original, the 2 Orc Shamans possessing numerous upper skills hard to even see on the lower layers of the Tower were the same as the existence itself being fraudulent.
Jin-su confirmed the combat power of the Orc Shamans and the power of the newly acquired skills.
‘The hunting speed will become faster.’
Jin-su joined the 2 Orc Shamans with other summons.
Then he concentrated full power on dungeon clearing while only bringing Shin Su-a, Leo, and Kkami.
***
‘The achievement is not refreshing at all.’
Jin-su who cleared one hidden dungeon made a regrettable expression. The clear reward was so-so, and there were no monsters with high combat power as much as Jin-su wants.
‘At this rate, when will I fill 10.’
Army Summons increased to 10 each for holy type and dark type. Among these, the fixed ones were Bone Dragon, Demirich, and Orc Shaman.
Variant lycanthropes and other boss monsters and players were being used unavoidably because there are no replacements.
‘Not even an individual worthy of replacing the variant lycanthrope is coming out.’
To Jin-su who wants to quickly replace Army Summons with out-of-spec monsters or gatekeeper grade, it was a really regrettable situation.
‘The gatekeeper of Floor 150 was the Orc Great Chieftain, right.’
The Orc Great Chieftain stays alone in the center of the orc village. It is fine if frontal breakthrough, it is fine if individual defeat, and assassination does not matter.
Rather than challenging by party unit, most cases were challenging by guild unit. Even without an affiliated guild, several parties unite and challenge mission clear, so the difficulty was not that high.
However, because the size of the orc village was enormously huge, it consumed an enormously large amount of time until mission clear.
‘Although it took a lot of time, there were no monsters strong to the degree of endangering life, so it was a feeling of resting a bit.’
If the difficulty of the mission is low, it might be good from the players’ perspective, but from Jin-su’s perspective, it had no choice but to be regrettable. Because the reward is also small, and there were no powerful monsters worthy of making into summons.
‘Well, it cannot be helped.’
Right now, the best was to sweep everything that can be obtained on Floor 150 as quickly as possible and go up to Floor 151.
***
Four months of time flowed since climbing to Floor 150.
‘Now, let’s go up.’
All achievements that can be obtained on Floor 150 were acquired. Hidden dungeons were also all cleared, both those in Jin-su’s memory and newly found ones.
Now there was no reason to stay on Floor 150 anymore.
“Let’s go.”
“Yeah.”
[Will you challenge Floor 150 clear?]
[Yes.] [No.]
Jin-su and Shin Su-a selected yes.
Hwaaaak!
At that moment, a cluster of bright light wrapped the bodies of Jin-su and Shin Su-a.
[The clear condition of Floor 150 is to defeat the gatekeeper.]
[I pray for the challenger’s victory.]
A wide forest with lush grass unfolded in front of Jin-su and Shin Su-a’s eyes.
“This place is a bit different from other places? It looks enormously wide. If like this, won’t it also be hard to find the gatekeeper?”
Shin Su-a said with a worried expression.
So far, they performed missions in limited spaces like a coliseum or collapsed city. Even if a wide land, the limit was clear. However, here, a vast forest was unfolded to the degree where the end is not visible.
“Yeah. First, I will try scouting.”
“Got it.”
“Kkami.”
“Kaaaak!”
At Jin-su’s words, Kkami flew high into the sky.
“You guys go too.”
“Kwoooek!”
“Kyaooong!”
Once Jin-su gave instructions, the 2 Bone Dragons flew high into the sky.
‘Originally, the Floor 150 clear mission proceeds in the way of gradually crushing the orc group while advancing.’
However, Jin-su had no need to do so unnecessarily.
‘Sweep the orc group in the shortest time and catch the Orc Great Chieftain.’
If possible, it seemed good to cut it at 2 hours 22 minutes 22 seconds.
So far, Jin-su spent as leisurely as possible in missions without time limits and extracted everything that can be obtained to the maximum.
However, here, there was no need to do so unnecessarily.
‘It is not that monsters are infinitely refilled either.’
Anyway, the number of monsters that have to be caught is fixed. Then it seemed good to annihilate as quickly as possible, clear in the shortest time, and then obtain even one achievement.
‘If only wanting, 22 minutes 22 seconds clear will also be possible.’
It ends if only giving the instruction to remove the Orc Great Chieftain to the 2 Bone Dragons.
‘There is no need to do so unnecessarily.’
There was no need to throw away the opportunity to hunt the orcs that seem at least hundreds of thousands spread in the wide forest, level up and obtain achievements, and use Stat Predation and Skill Predation while growing the Blessing.
