If he had not surpassed the Warrior’s Perseverance and Physical Resistance, he would have died in this situation already.
He could not use the Eyes Tightly Shut skill either.
While have already been surrounded by enemies, he also could not fully control his body as of now.
Weed alone, bravely fought against the horde of enemies for more than 10 minutes.
Less than 5% Stamina, Mana already depleted, and HP dipped below 23%; it was a situation where he could not win.
With the diminishing Strength, his arm felt heavy with the sword in his hand.
His body no longer moves fluid-like as before.
“I’ll take one more fool!”
He abandoned blocking the hits of his enemies.
Each and every attack using sword required a certain amount if Strength and Stamina.
He chose to decrease the distance between him and an enemy.
Weed having completely abandoned defending himself, the number of wounds rapidly shot up.
And in return, he was able to thrust his sword through the helmet of one of the knights.
“Up to here?”
Weed then gave up preventing their attacks landing.
However, he did not give up on picking up the items.
Having battled in one spot for a long time, it was a plate like area filled with items and loots!
There were so many items dropped by the Ghost Knight that were just scraps.
But if they were to go through the smelting process, all were able to be recycled.
In some cases, he obtained jewelries and fallen Gold.
If he left the Ghost Knights and the Ghost Soldiers alone, he could pick them up.
Hwiriririk!
Weed rolled on the ground.
Focusing everything into his hands, he quickly reached for the surrounding items.
Aimed for the more expensive items first, then onto the lowly japtems.
Then by the sword of a Ghost Knight, he died.
You have died.
The Weed who died fighting till the end.
The ghosts, once again, returned to their original position.
“Kkirikkkirik. All challengers have died.”
“Too bad they could not remove our curse.”
“Now I will return to my slumber once more.”
They burst into laughter and ridiculed their human challengers.
They believed everything has already been terminated!
At the spot where Weed died, the body had been replaced by a set of bones.
An unsightly sword wielding white skeleton!
A power received from the Necromancer; due to the power to deny death, a Skeleton Knight will be resurrected.
***
The Manager of Operation was brought in.
Because of the known fact that Weed and the Geomchis were challenging the Tower of Heroes.
Director Khang and the entire production staff were watching the attempt together.
“Such splendid and precise movements.”
“Have anyone ever seen such accurate movements like that from a user?”
“Whew, receiving hits from the Assassins and Thieves and still not even panicking.”
“How many people can fight covering for each other like that?”
The fight was full of admiration.
In order to master the Stone Skin Skill, they also had to bathe in flames.
But that as well could not drown their fighting spirit.
Watching Weed and the Geomchis’ fight scene, it was as if their souls were drawn into the screen. Nothing short of admiration.
“And what floor is this now?”
“The 4th.”
Within the station, from one acquaintance to the next, the news of being able to watch the first ever seen attempt of the Tower of Heroes spread among them.
The first or second floor wasn’t anything comparing to the excitement of the fourth floor.
Weed and the Geomchis arrived to the fourth floor and still showed tremendous fighting spirits.
The thrill was something difficult for any other movie to match to as they lead into the battles.
It was as if their roles were natural born warriors fending off enemies.
Too exhilarating.
Their hands shook unknowingly as if they wanted to enter the scene.
It was something simply breathtaking and exciting.
A perfect stage to fight until the end where each and absolutely all enemies must be eliminated without retreating.
The Geomchis were wiped out.
Even though Weed had put up an excellent resistance, he also lost his life.
“Ah!”
The group sighed.
Oh Dongman, Shin Hyemin, Kim In Young, as well as all those who knew Weed and the Geomchis, and of course the station’s staffs, all lamented.
It was the emphatically feeling of wanting Weed and the group to pass the Tower of Heroes.
“That was it, just like that?”
“It was just a hunch from the beginning anyway. But what they did was great. If it were us, we wouldn’t even dare to do it.”
They then collapsed from exhaustion.
It felt as if they’ve stayed up for two, three nights; all were not able to do anything.
And then, the transmission transferred to the screen stunned them all as they watched.
From where Weed died, a skeleton rose in his place.
For some reason, the skeleton felt familiar.
The skeleton that appeared at the right moment during the Fellowship led by the Cold Rose Guild to fight the dragon Kurenberg!
Using magic of the Necromancer, he produced thousands of Undead.
Amazing close range dogfight against the dragon while mounted on a wyvern.
Even yelled and called forth the ice dragon.
The impact achieved at that time was something unrivalled.
Though it looked a different from the first skeleton, the skeleton had appeared once again.
The station employees cried in excitement.
“He came!”
“The Jeonshin Weed!”
