The Tutorial Is Too Hard

Really?]

[Yeah, I really don't have a choice on the sixth floor. Just relax.]

[… for real?]

* * *

[3rd Day 28. 3: 10]

I arrived at the waiting room on the sixth floor and put my hands on the stage portal on the sixth floor as a test.

And I knew why Kirikiri said he wouldn't be able to come as soon as he drove me away.

I could also see why I was encouraged to buy more potions.

[Please assign a party member before entering the stage.]

[Current Party Member (1/5)]

- Lee Ho-jae

It was party play.

It usually involves a group of at least two to as many as dozens of people in a game.

For the Sixth Floor stage on the Hell difficulty level, it looks like there should be a total of five parties.

By the way.

Who would play cooperatively with me?

[Recruitable (1/1)]

- Lee Ho-jae

Of course, it was impossible to organize a party with challengers from other levels of difficulty.

You can only cooperate with challengers on the 6th floor of Hell difficulty.

This is the only situation on the 6th floor of Hell difficulty, and I'm the only one on Hell difficulty.

No, you have to have a conscience.

Do you honestly think more than five people can make it to the sixth floor of Hell?

I've heard a few times about design errors while attacking the tutorial.

Typically, Conquest Clear is a design error.

And the theme of this six-story stage is clearly a design error.

No, if you're going to design, you need to have an idea.

I don't know who designed this tutorial.

No, definitely the gods.

These are voyeuristic patients who have been secretly watching what others do all day, hoping that even challengers might mate.

Let's hope so. Damn it.

[The God of Adventure is unfair.]

There's no need to be unfair.

I saw a message that the god of adventure felt sorry for me as soon as I thought there would be nothing to bring Edaltar back to life.

He's the worst.

I feel like I'm the only one watching all day.

Is there anything you need to do?

If only the gods of the tutorial had human form like the gods of Greece and Rome.

The God of Adventure must be a pervert, an old man with a pale complexion.

The thighs as big as a cripple have fur on their legs.

[The God of Adventure is greatly shocked by your words.]

Phew.

I sighed a long time.

I don't know what to do.

We have to sell it.

When I saw the tutorial invitation message, I was the perpetrator who chose Hell without thinking.

On the 6th floor of Normal difficulty, I heard that there was a collaborative play between challengers.

It's information that's been well talked about in the community.

There are many merits to being able to challenge with others.

Some challengers insisted on going up to a place where they could play cooperatively with others in some way.

Rather than waiting for the day of the meeting, some challengers promised to meet again on the sixth floor.

As party play appeared, there was once again a large discussion of weapons or growth direction.

The emergence of party play was a really big issue, so I know.

But I didn't know that party play would appear on Hell difficulty.

No, not the 6th floor challenger. What party play on Hell's difficulty level without the first floor challenger.

[Do you want to enter?]

Fortunately, you can proceed on your own.

If it had been a setting that couldn't proceed, we would have had to wait indefinitely until five people gathered on the 6th floor of this hellhole difficulty level.

Shit, I could just make it five and clear it.

It reminds me of a mock AOS game where playing 5 serves was a winning condition.

Five people... That's easy to say.

It doesn't have to be a five-person job.

You will be required to perform for 5 challengers on the 6th floor of Hell difficulty level.

Is that possible?

I am the only challenger on the 6th floor of Hell difficulty.

But if there are many six-story challengers, what are my skills?

Average will be over. Obviously.

You have that much confidence.

Kirikiri said that I was able to acquire the skill of power because of the peculiarity of the slow god.

If it were not for the nature of the slow god, we would not have received such power in the beginning.

The God of Adventure, I personally think, just gave me power when Slow God gave me power, and I felt powerless to overcome it.

Plus, you're good.

I have never felt inadequate, regardless of my skill or physical specs, in my assault and since I became accustomed to combat.

Judgment, agility, creativity, focus, responsiveness, adaptability, responsiveness, perseverance and determination.

I am definitely skillful.

Even if 6 billion people line up, I am confident that I will be the top.

It is a confidence in myself that has not changed since the time of professional gamers.

But do you really think I can take on five challengers on the Sixth Floor of Hell?

Hmm…….

Let's find out.

[Welcome to the 6th floor stage.]

It was a narrow, sealed stone chamber.

Inside the narrow stone chamber, there were only a small campfire and two portals.

One is connected to the waiting room.

The other one is

[Do you want to challenge the Gateway exam?]

I have seen this type of hierarchy in the community before.

Perhaps the entire sixth floor consists of one gateway.

This stone chamber, which is just called a 'campfire', provides time and space for party members to check in with each other and discuss future events before they enter the stage.

Because of the nature of being closed and safe, and because of the presence of magical campfires, the community had a distinct interest in party play.

The magic campfire never went out, and there was no risk of the fire spreading.

Moreover, there is no smoke.

Even if you buy inexpensive raw meat or vegetables from the shop window, you can use a campfire to make simple dishes.

When this became known, he only went up to the floor where the campfire room was, and there were some challengers who wanted to settle down on that floor.

Why don't I just sit down for a minute and make some simple food? I thought about it.

Hmm... I'll do it later. Later.

And even without that campfire, I can only light a fire with pyrotechnics.

[Do you want to challenge the Gateway exam?]

You move through the portal again.

Narrow, dark corridors.

The hallway on the first floor is reminiscent of.

Every time I went upstairs, the corridor of the stage became wider and higher.

However, the sixth floor was as narrow as the hallway on the first floor.

Specifically, there is a huge stone gate behind the starting point.

Usually, there are only dead end walls and waiting room portals behind the starting point, and on the sixth floor is a stone gate behind the portal.

What is it?

Are we going backwards?

A message appeared when I touched the stone gate.

[You cannot leave.]

Quit?

The door to the outside?

As I was rolling my head hard, a message appeared to relieve my curiosity.

Like when you entered the boss room, a message explaining the contents of the gate appeared.

The entire sixth floor is composed of one of these gates.

Let's read it.

[The Sixth Floor Gateway begins.]

Description: It's been 50 years since the cursed priests of the Bahar Church began to be pursued by the Pantheon. As you know, the Bahar Cult wants to resurrect the dead and turn their souls into evil spirits and harvest more deaths.

Their total number of priests, including Khezas, 16, managed to outrun the Pantheon and reach the heart of the White March here.

The Heart of the White March is sometimes called the Shrine, where God came from.

Priests of the Bahar Church try to cover the continent with nightmares using the sacred fragments that remain in the holy land.

Warriors, you're the only one who can stop them until the Paladins of the Manchuria get here.

[Conditions for Success]

1. Prevent the death squad from entering outside the White March until the paladins arrive.

2. Destroy the Army of Death and kill 16 priests.

You sound like a warrior.

Perhaps the difficulty of the sixth floor will be determined by the power and numbers of that death army.

It won't be easy.

Hell, yeah.

Let's get this over with.

The way to clear the gate is to stop the death squad from reaching that stone gate behind my back, or to kill the soldiers and priests at all.

The death toll.

I'm gonna get really sick of fighting.

I'm glad the passageway is narrow though.

The ceiling is low, requiring you to give up air combat using the wings of the Tallaria, but a narrow space is advantageous against a large number of enemies.

First, it will be difficult to clear for the remaining three times.

One of the conditions of victory is to hold out until the paladins get here.

It is not clear when the paladin will arrive, but it will probably not arrive in a day.

Two days, three days, maybe a week.

Let's go meet the Army of the Dead.

* * *

After walking for about four hours from the stone gate, I could only see the enemies.

Jubbuck. Jubbuck. Jubbuck. Jubbuck.

Those simple steps can make so much noise.

It's ridiculous.

Tens of millions of skeletons marching in formation.

This is embarrassing.

The Army of Death was a troop of skeletons, as it was explained in the description that it would bring the dead back to life.

It was an army of rotting skeletons in rotting armor.

To be honest, it didn't look that strong.

Most of their weapons are flimsy, but there are no weapons that can actually serve as flies.

The edgy day was out, and it was dull.

In the movements of skeletons that are only fine bones, strong and healthy forces do not appear to shine.

The corridor was narrow.

Regardless of the number of skeletons, I only have to deal with five or six fronts at a time.

And it doesn't feel that threatening.

But that number...

I can't see the end.

I ran to the ceiling to see the end, but I couldn't see the end from the height.

Maybe tens of thousands of units.

If you think the killing target, the priests, are like the Necromancers, those skeletons may still be being made in real time.

If the power of the heavens and the earth gives them unlimited magical power, etc.

… horrible.

If so, it means that the speed at which I crush those skeletons must be better than the speed at which they are created.

I see why Kirikiri said he wouldn't be here soon.

This is definitely a difficulty beyond my capabilities.

It's about my Stamina and killing speed.

Clearing in less than two days is certainly impossible, and it may not be possible to clear in four or five times.

You clear your mind and pick up the Barbarian's Sword.

Those skeletons don't seem to have much meaning in flying.

They're just moving bones with no muscle or flesh.

It is better to fight with a long and heavy sword like a bludgeon than Gladius.

[wings of talaria]

Spreading the wings of the giant thalaria, a narrow corridor completely blocked the wings.

Fortunately, the corridor is narrow, so there's no way the skeleton will escape behind me and reach the Stone Gate.

Multiple hostiles.

Judging by their ignorant numbers, their individual abilities may not be that strong.

Let's fight.

* * *

Boom!

You slash the Skeleton Soldier in front of you with a Barbarian Warrior's Blacksword.

No, I broke it.

The skull of the Skeleton Soldier who was struck by the sword was crushed with the sound of a purr.

Their weakness is their head.

Can we call this weakness?

These guys keep moving no matter where they break, except for the head.

I want to bite my teeth as long as I have a head.

One, one, break his head.

I grabbed the broken skeleton soldier's ribs and threw them forward.

Another skeleton soldier rushing immediately.

You swing your shield, pushing it roughly away, and run toward the skeleton wearing the helmet with the bird's tail.

Sometimes there are more well-armed bastards than other Skeleton Soldiers.

They weren't just soldiers, they were commanders.

[Gyahhhh!]

Damn it.

Too late.

[Gyahhhhhh!]

[Gyahhhhhh!]

When the Skeleton Commander screams first, thousands of Skeleton Soldiers scream equally.

Their glare shimmers faintly, and the weapons in their hands are blackened.

Dammit, there's nowhere to turn.

The first group of Skeleton Soldiers were four hours' walk from the stone gate.

And after two days of continuous combat, he was pushed all the way here.

Instead of killing 16 priests, I couldn't handle the number of Skeleton Soldiers that couldn't be broken or destroyed.

[You failed to attack the Gateway.]

[The 3rd car will end.]
