A Wimp’s Strategy Guide to Conquer the Tower - Chapter 53



Only Krnovel

Joohyuk talked with Cossack late into the night.

The Cossacks claim that they have reached a satisfactory and win-win negotiation.

“Hehehe, I clearly said I was satisfied. I heard you clearly.”

What satisfaction?

When I heard it, it was almost like a threat.

Well, for the artist Cossack of the red ribbon, that might be called a negotiation.

Anyway, the result is good.

Everything is good…

“It’s a shame to waste that item. I haven’t even used it a few times.”

“So that’s what I’m saying. Are you saying that there’s no problem even if you don’t use it?”

“…”

“Anyway, other attribute items are only available up to floor 60. They are useless from floor 61 onwards.”

That’s true.

From the 61st floor, the undead section, it is a divine attribute.

Also, he is not a player who fights by quickly summoning items, but a player who fights by quickly summoning enemies.

I know enough.

I know it, but it’s a shame.

Isn’t it a special item?

“Then what about the 71st floor? You can use it there.”

The section where the mad horse said the tower would collapse here and there.

“No way. Such a cheap item is useless. At the very least, you need to obtain a legendary named item before you even consider grinding.”

It’s useless?

“Why? What comes out?”

“If you go up to the 71st floor, there’s a scary guy, a, um…, a monster… um, huh? What came out?”

A Cossack tilts his head and frowns.

“It’s strange. I don’t remember.”

“Did you go up and take a look? Or are you just forgetful?”

“I’ve been up there a few times. I’ve heard a lot of stories. But… hmm, my head’s a little hazy.”

“Think about it carefully.”

“Haa, is there an eraser in your head, or did someone erase it? This is a shame.”

After much effort and pulling out my hair, in the end.

“I just remember the feeling that it was hard, just the feeling. Just the feeling.”

“Was the monster really strong?”

“Hmm, to be exact, I’d say it was difficult to deal with. Yes, that’s right. It was difficult.”

You said it was difficult to deal with.

What on earth could it be?

“I remember the conversation we had back then. I didn’t know these guys would show up, but in fact, it started in the late 60s.”

It’s in the late 60s.

I think things are starting to change.

But which floor?

The 67th floor has already been revealed.

Undead Phantom Reaper.

Then it’s the 68th, 69th, and 70th floors.

“What else?”

“There really isn’t anything left. Not even this much.”

I suddenly became curious.

Until now, I hadn’t even thought about going above the 71st floor.

What will come out from that section?

Why did Madman say that the towers would collapse randomly at the 70th floor?

I want to know more, but what if I don’t remember?

There’s no way a Cossack would lie.

Well, you’ll know when you go up there.

***

The next day.

Joohyuk woke up early in the morning.

Go to the bathroom, empty it, take a bath, brush your teeth and nails, change into clean new clothes, and meditate for a while.

After finishing his preparations, Joohyeok took out the rune of strengthening his traits from his inventory.

This is my first attempt at strengthening an item.

So I feel a little nervous.

‘Let’s try.’

Using runes is simple.

The expression “eat” is often used, and it is accurate.

You can actually eat it.

If you put a small piece of stone engraved with letters to your mouth, it melts and goes down your throat on its own.

[Awakening characteristics are strengthened.]

With this,

[Characteristic]: Summon (Simultaneous Summon: 5)

‘it’s okay.’

There are five now.

First, let’s call in Cossack, Gobang, Gyeondalrae, and Lajix and tell them about the results of the negotiations that took place yesterday.

“Kya kya kya, who am I? I am the master negotiator, John Cossack.”

“Excellent. Assassin.”

“I called you a negotiator!”

“Huh? Can I stay here longer?”

“You can play while chewing carrots.”

“Your Majesty, I congratulate you. You too, Cossack, have had a hard time.”

“Ahem! Why did you have to go through all that trouble, hehehehe.”

The Cossack was constantly telling his comrades stories of his bravery, and his ears were bleeding because he kept repeating the same things, but the atmosphere was still cheerful.

“Mr. Cossack.”

“Pressure!”

“What about the monsters that appear from the 51st floor? Do you remember those?”

“It’s a griffon. Imagine a large bird.”

As Rajix raised his hand.

“Are you peeling the skin?”

“There are only feathers. The hide is taken from the Wyvern section on floor 56 or higher.”

“Hey, what am I doing?”

“You can mine ore by repeating the attack.”

Now all that remains is to keep your promise.

The deadline for conquering the Black Tower in the United Arab Emirates is 14 days, two weeks away.

You have to climb to the 60th floor at lightning speed.

Of course, pick one more person.

“Come on, everyone. Get ready to welcome the newcomers.”

“Pressure!”

I wish there was a summoner who was good at fighting.

“I’m going.”

But don’t expect much.

Let’s just happily accept whoever comes out.

No matter the rank or class,

“Random Summon!”

Hwaaaaah! Summoning begins.

A halo of light descended from the sky.

At the same time, it transformed into a human form.

Papa Pot!

It finally appeared.

New summoner,

Fairly tall, with a sunken waist and big… huh?

“…You are a woman.”

“She’s a woman.”

“Huh?”

“You’re the same gender as me.”

Then the Cossack glanced at the sled,

“Same gender, but very different.”

“Wh, what do you mean?”

“…You know but you’re pretending not to, tsk tsk.”

“Yes, yes, Inom!!!”

The appearance was clearly female.

The body was like that.

A black body-tight outfit that clings tightly to the body, exposing all of the curves and making it embarrassing to look at for too long.

The most impressive part.

There was something that caught my eye before my face.

A very familiar object held in her two hands.

A long, thick, and sturdy body made of metal, with a shoulder-mounted buttstock and a trigger at the bottom.

‘rifle?’

right.

It was a gun.

However, it differs from a normal gun in many ways.

First of all, it is very big.

It is usually larger and thicker than the personal firearms issued by the military.

It’s so much so that I wonder how anyone can carry that around.

Overall, it was old-fashioned like an early rifle, but there were also some refined aspects.

There was a glass plate with a soft blue glow at the top, and unknown letters and symbols appeared and disappeared like an LED panel.

It feels like a cross between a large-caliber old-fashioned steampunk rifle and a cyberpunk electronic rifle.

As I checked the gun, this time its appearance caught my eye.

Black hair, black eyebrows.

In terms of race, he was closer to Latino.

Her long hair was tied back, her face was small and slender, and her lips were red.

Also, cross-eyed eyes that are so small that the pupils are not visible….

‘…You’re not squinting.’

I thought he was squinting, but in fact his eyes were half-closed.

Swaying the body back and forth.

‘Are you sleeping?’

Hey, no way. Moment!

Dragging and dragging.

A sticky drool drips down from the lips of the new summoner.

What the heck? You were really sleeping?

“Woman, sleeping.”

“I think he may not even know that he has been summoned.”

“After that,”

“More, it’s dirty. If you keep doing that, you’ll get sucked in…”

Flow!

“Ugh! I got sucked in.”

The new summoned person opened his eyes wide as soon as the drool disappeared from his mouth.

“Oh my! Where, where is this….”

Only then did he seem to realize the situation and stared blankly at Joo-hyuk’s face.

Okay!

He stood with both feet together in an attention position, extended his right hand, placed it close to his eyebrows, and shouted.

“Victory! Sergeant Veronica Caliber! Thank you for summoning me, Captain.”

“…Ah! Yes, yes.”

Her name is Veronica Caliber.

When I see Joo-hyuk, I call him the captain.

– Name: Veronica Caliber

– Grade: SR (Super Rare)

– Type: Musketeer (Human)

– Manifestation period: 6 hours

– Satisfaction rating: None.

– Re-summon waiting time: 3 hours (applies after unsummoning)

A beautiful musketeer from the Ranger Unit of the Magic Empire.

But can I use that gun on top?

Well, I guess I’ll carry it around since I can use it.

“Welcome.”

But without answer,

Tilting, swaying. What?

“…”

Salute and sleep again?

Gororong, gororong,

This is ridiculous.

He sleeps with his nose snoring.

“Huh.”

“Hmm,”

“A peculiar summoner has arrived.”

The Cossack also looked dissatisfied,

“I don’t like that girl.”

“What is it?”

“I’m talking about saluting and chanting.”

“Why is that…”

“The characters overlap. I was the one who originally did the salute and chant first. Look! Chung! This is it.”

That’s not wrong, though.

“Is that person a soldier?”

“…Huh?”

“I think it was the Magic Empire Ranger Unit, the rank was Sergeant.”

“Uh huh.”

“Mr. Cossack, have you ever been in the army?”

Then the Cossack rolled his eyes.

“I’m exempt… because I have flat feet.”

“aha.”

“If I didn’t have flat feet, I would have quit being an assassin and joined the military.”

What is flat feet?

When I spread my shadowy footsteps, I felt like I was flying.

Anyway, he is a strange person.

I got summoned while I was sleeping.

Are you someone who sleeps a lot?

Or maybe you died from not being able to sleep in your past life?

– Sergeant Veronica Caliber is a veteran sniper of the Northern Ranger Unit of the Magic Empire. In the bitter cold, she fought against monsters every day, and she gained a reputation as a 100% accurate musketeer. Then, an unexpected large wave of monsters, a huge number of monsters gathered at the border castle.

– If the northern wall is breached, the empire is finished, and a battle will break out. She had to hold out until reinforcements arrived. Various types of monsters attacked her day and night, and she couldn’t sleep. She held out until the end, stabbing her thighs with her greatsword to fight off the drowsiness that was creeping up on her. Her eyes were bloodshot and she was shedding tears of blood, and she had already long since surpassed the limits of what a human could endure. In the end, after fighting for 100 days and nights, Veronica was finally able to rest comfortably after confirming that reinforcements had arrived.

Really?

He died because he couldn’t sleep.

Of course, it was the monster that struck the final blow, but she happily accepted its death.

Because I was able to sleep comfortably.

‘I guess I shouldn’t touch it while it’s sleeping.’

Well, the dealer I was expecting showed up.

The grade is decent, SR, super rare, and the class is Musketeer.

I want to enter the tower right now and see what kind of skills you have… but I can’t wake you up because you’re sleeping like that.

“I’ll wake you up.”

“You seem to be sleeping too soundly, so let’s just let you sleep.”

“No! Now that you’re out, you have to do your duty. I can’t stand seeing you sleeping.”

Cossack approached Veronica, who was dozing off while standing, and poked her in the ribs.

moment!

She suddenly wakes up.

“Sergeant! Veronica Kelly….”

Then, looking at the Cossack standing in front of him,

“What are you, you idiot?”

“Did you just say that to me?”

“Who else is here besides you? A kid who looks like a parasite brother.”

“…I’m a self-employed person?”

“So? The bullet won’t go into the stomach of the self-propelled gun?”

Crunch!

Jiiing!

“Or should I stick something hot up your asshole?”

“…”

The Cossack looked bewildered and didn’t know what to do.

Oh, why does the Cossack act like that with every woman he meets?

Joohyuk had no choice but to approach.

“Ms. Veronica?”

“Sergeant, Veronica Caliber! The Colonel has arrived.”

“I’m thinking of going into the tower.”

“Is this an operation?”

“Yes. To catch a few scorpions.”

“Operation Scorpion Annihilation, we will carry it out perfectly. We will win!”

oh!

It’s very powerful.

So, Joo-hyuk and his group set out on a mission to repeatedly conquer the 50th floor Kingscorpion with a new summoner.

And he left after 30 minutes.

Everyone looked so satisfied.

Now that we’ve confirmed Veronica’s abilities, let’s start climbing the upper floors in earnest.

***

[Enter the 51st floor of the Black Tower in South Korea.]

Floors 51 to 55 are where the flying demon Griffin appears.

Joohyuk’s party is ready to go to the mission area.

however.

Nodding, staggering,

Veronica dozing off while walking.

“Summoner Bong, he’s sleeping again.”

“Huh.”

“There’s no time to try. Are you sick?”

“I think this is a disease. We don’t even have time to talk to each other and become friends.”

But don’t worry.

Because once you enter battle, your gaze changes.

Joohyuk poked her arm.

“Gasp! Sergeant, Veronica Caliber.”

“Sergeant, should we start getting ready?”

“Ah! I understand. Victory!”

[51st floor mission: Kill 15 Repair Claw Griffons.]

[Completion deadline: within 14 hours.]

[Failure Condition: Death or Mission Abandonment]

The mission has been given.

A huge flock of birds seen high in the sky.

“The operation will begin.”

I was able to appreciate the power of the magic gun during the 50th floor repeated raid.

The power of a large magic bullet that can reduce a Kingscorpion to near death in one shot, and a small magic bullet that can easily penetrate the exoskeleton of a normal scorpion.

In fact, the physical abilities she possessed were insignificant.

Although stronger than the average person, he is far weaker than other summoned beings.

Even taking the rating into account.

Instead, the equipment was extraordinary.

Not to mention the magic gun, but also the tights called the reinforced suit, combat boots that allow you to move quickly by releasing magic power, and magic defense gloves that protect your hands and fingers.

High-performance combat equipment created by the Magic Empire.

That seems to be Veronica’s ability.

So how about a full-blown S++ rank, time attack mission?

Jjaejaejaejae! Dududung!

The sound of drums and bells stimulates the fighting spirit.

The rhythm of the persimmon has changed a little.

Maximize your senses.

And speed increases along with strength gains.

Adrenaline rush.

As the number of people increased, even the guard concentrated and shook the bell like crazy.

“Excellent. Thanks to you, my princess, my spirits are lifted.”

Veronica moves forward quickly.

Raise your gun, stand in a shooting position, aim at one of the repair claw griffons,

Zing, zucchini!

A milky-blue magic bullet hit the griffon’s body.

“Kyaak!”

A griffon flying towards Veronica at a terrifying speed.

But she didn’t run away.

I continued to fire small bullets at it, eating away at its health.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom…

While firing the shotgun, slowly approach the enemy by taking backward steps.

“taking over.”

“It is handed over.”

The leg of the repair claw griffon was caught in Gobang’s hand.

Perfect aggro succession.

As Gobang held onto the griffon, the Cossack rushed in and struck his head.

Meanwhile, Veronica kept moving.

As soon as I handed over one, another one was pulled.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom….

Deals damage with small bullets and passes it on to Gobang.

The battle continued without a moment’s pause.

For every one caught, another one was delivered.

Delivery, delivery.

A delivery man, not a musketeer.

There was no problem for the Gobang and Cossacks to just wait in one place.

All you have to do is catch the wounded and already tattered griffon and finish it off.

The attack was fast and very stable.

Buffs for tanks, melee dealers, ranged dealers, and slingers.

‘I think we can call this the completion of the party.’

I’m proud.

You chose good people.

I couldn’t be more satisfied as a summoner.

[Notice: You have achieved the S++ rank for clearing the 51st floor of the Black Tower (Korea).]

[S++ Strategy Reward: Platinum Badge is awarded.]
