Whether it was Weed or the Geomchis, all had to shed the clothes they were wearing!
They suffered an unexplainably high fever that was impossible to explain.
Weed had to continually repair the broken armors, and later was forced to enjoy the blazing inferno with just pants on.
The swimming in the fire Geomchi10.
The baking potatoes in both hands while eating another Geomchi17.
The roasted juipo eating Geomchi38. (dried fish jerky.)
Even Oh Dongman who was familiar to Weed and the Geomchis placed his hand on his heart.
‘I’m human. I appreciate the fact that I’m just a normal human!’
Now was a time where he could not be proud of the fact he knew Weed and the Geomchis.
Those eternally absurd human beings once again amaze.
Park Heeyeon was also frustrated.
“I’m seriously going down the path of a professional Flame Magician, but I can never be a carefree as that in that situation…”
She attended the conference on the Flame Magic series.
The pain of the magical flame is something substantial.
Although it burns like the real, of course, it is not.
But in order to counteract the burning one will feel, the parts need to be covered in very hot spring water or something comparable, which were fiercely expensive.
But here, Weed and the Geomchis seemed a bit too impervious.
They stay in the flames for long and still seems like the flames were softening.
With the lowering resistance, the pain will get even more severe.
Perhaps, the pain they are feeling at the moment may have been close to the maximum.
Nevertheless, they still enjoyed it.
“Perverts, those Ahjussi!”
When they reached the floor, they obtained more stats.
Ttiring!
Passing the Intermediate Training Center has been logged.
Physical Resistance increases by 60.
Perseverance increases by 60.
Endurance increases by 60.
Physical Resistance, Perseverance, and Endurance all increased by 60!
With the Stone Skin mastered, Defense had almost doubled.
At their current self, it was as if they’ve acquired the effect of a high end defensive item.
Other Tower of Heroes would have also provided users with the Stone Skin skill.
But no one would ever reach the height of the skill of which Weed and the Geomchis achieved.
It was an exceptional opportunity for the weaker than most defensive-wise Geomchis!
However, the degree of difficulty on the third floor was much greater.
Thieves and Assassins made traps while waiting for a more opportune time to attack.
Poisoned daggers and crossbow arrows flew.
“Thunderous Lightning!”
“Fire Blast!”
“Aqua Arrow!”
They were subjected to a widespread of magical attacks.
The third stage was the stage of survival!
The Assassins and Thieves made their way in between the Geomchis, with magic attacks followed.
If they were distracted by the Assassins or the Thieves, then they would have received a direct hit from the magic attack.
And if they had tried to avoid magical attacks by dodging, their body would suffer thrusting blows from the hidden Assassins.
“Keeuu.”
“Oh shit. This sucks…”
Geomchi54 and Geomchi77 died.
They will not be able to exceed the third floor of the Intermediate Training Center.
Now, they will re-spawn back on the Versailles continent at their saved location.
Weed used Yell
“Do. Not. Divide!”
The yell overwhelmed all disturbances.
Geomchi2 asked urgently.
“Weed, is there a way?”
Geomchis and the other instructors were safe.
They were those who can take care of themselves even in the midst of chaos.
But due to the sudden change in circumstances, they have not figured out a solution.
“I also have no way.”
“That so?”
“The Wizards should attack the center of where we gathered because it’ll be a concentrated zone. But for some reason, they want us to disperse; which means their line based attacks are more damaging. We gotta fight united.”
“Wouldn’t they do what you said though, attack the center?”
“Still, we have stick together. Even if we scatter, it has to be in groups of 3.”
Weed instinctively found a respond.
Geomchi2 relied on his judgment.
Any lack of rational conviction, and they’ll suffer from the thrusts of the enemies.
Geomchi2 had always been the best disciple at the Dojang, and decisions were often forced on him.
He had always been watching over the other instructors and practitioners as they gain experiences.
However, at this time, there was no need for Geomchi2 to make a decision.
‘For me I have a trustworthy apprentice. If it’s his judgment, then I’ll follow it.’
The Geomchis gathered.
Magic attacks concentrated before them, and the dagger wielding Assassins and Thieves rushed forward.
Weed exclaimed.
“Stone Skin!”
He utilized the skill he had just learned.
“Stone Skin!”
“Stone Skin!”
The Geomchis hurriedly used the skill.
Their skins were as hard as rocks. Magic enveloped above them.
Kwaahahahang!
Dozen of colorful magic attacks exploded above Weed and the Geomchis.
Thanks to the power of Stone Skin, the loss of life was not large.
Most likely due to the benefits of attaining mastery of the skill.
‘It’s holding up against the power of magic.’
The Geomchis were vaguely afraid of magic attacks.
They were not accustomed to magic as they did not use it.
If they saw an oncoming flying spell, they would avoid it.
But not just the Geomchis, anybody else will choose the same course of action.
The destructivity of magic doesn’t just stop at the initial hit.
Some fire or ice skills, they have two three phases in one attack.
Completely damages all except for the caster himself; while many other magical attacks covers a large area of complex damages.
That’s why magicians are widely recognized as best offensive class!
While also difficult to completely avoid, the huge area affected means far less work for them.
However, due to the effect of Stone Skin, they were at least able to survive through the non-direct magic attacks.
The earth-based magical attacks with two, three phases were deflected by the stone skins.
The Geomchis overcame the magical storm as rooted trees.
“Survived.”
“I’m not dead!”
Meanwhile, the Assassins and Thieves were in shock.
Having received the damage, but the Geomchis’ situation wasn’t chaotic.
Chaaeng!
Geomchis skillfully brandished their blades that their respective Assassins and Thieves.
Deadly attacks!
The Assassins and Thieves had not prepared their guard in the first place, so they were taking a beating.
“Strike!”
“Killing away!”
Even before, they weren’t afraid of the Assassins and Thieves who overwhelmed them by the numbers.
Holding their swords rushing their enemies, the Geomchis solidified their footings while keeping their opponent at bay.
Magic attacks occasionally made their ways in, and some Assassins and Thieves relied on suicidal rushes.
On the third floor, it was literally a fight for survival.
Just a single moment of loss of concentration spelt a wider gap of vulnerability.
The Assassins’ stealth skill was very impressive; they were only able to be seen within a few meters.
But still, they were just like moths to a flame, deathly counterattacks soon followed.
While holding their positions, Weed and the Geomchis took care of all the Assassins and Thieves.
