[Magic Tower Master Strategy Guide (Incomplete Version)]
[Thanks to a certain streamer, there were many people trying to catch the Ruler lately, so I was also releasing some information I knew about the Magic Tower Master. (Note: Written in blunt/sentence-ending style. Also, I had never cleared it either. It was an information post that was embarrassing to even call a strategy guide.) The setting was the eighth floor, where the Magic Tower Master's office was located, the highest floor of the Magic Tower where the sky spread across the ceiling.
As far as confirmed, the Magic Tower Master was divided into a total of two phases.
Phase 1 used normal magic.
Fireball, ice arrow, forest bind, earth barrier, teleport, etc.
If you liked Musou play and had experienced a lot of magic while doing quests on previous floors or in the city, it was a level that was a bit difficult but avoidable.
Why was it a bit difficult? It was because the Magic Tower Master's magic had a large scale or much faster casting speed, and raged incessantly.
For reference, he also did multi-casting occasionally.
I recommended bringing utility-related skills and equipment with high defense.
Anyway, if you were a user confident in controls to the extent of enjoying Musou play, you would probably be able to pass Phase 1.
But Phase 2 was the problem.
Once he took damage, he entered Phase 2 from then on, and from here, the Magic Tower Master wrapped himself in a barrier.
F*ck.
Normal attacks didn't work.
I used a high-damage bomb, and this could pierce the barrier to deal a tiny bit of damage.
But he immediately used the barrier again.
Then, couldn't we just bring a ton of bombs and go?
That was true, but the problem was that we could not survive until we drained all of that HP.
From Phase 2, the Magic Tower Master shot lightning.
This was seriously f*cking fast.
(Video)
As you could see, dodging it was seriously hard.
But it was indiscriminate firing.
Just how much mana did he have.
I even called a friend and made them act as a lightning rod next to me, but there was no match before infinite mana.
(For reference, don't do it with a friend. Under the guise of adjusting balance, the magic became twice as strong.) I was now going to search for other special items. In the first place, since the game was so vast, there would definitely be several ways to clear it.
There might be a Phase 3.
Since it had only been a day, well, I would research various things in the future.]
<><><>
“I see.”
Seo-jun opened his item window with an embarrassed expression.
All he had was a worn-out guard's sword and a basic hood.
And about forty machetes collected while wiping out gangs.
It was a bit shabby.
- hahaha he had nothing
- Even if we could do something about the lightning, he wouldn't be able to pierce the barrier
- Go go for assassination even now
- Infiltration was the most fun on the eighth floor anyway. Because it was full of all kinds of traps installed by the Magic Tower Master himself.
“Well, there would be a way. Looking at the mission details, it seemed like even an assassination would be a success. But since I also had a conscience, I wouldn't do that.”
The mission certainly did not say not to assassinate.
Of course, if Seo-jun said he would assassinate here, it was obvious the viewers would riot.
“By the way, I really didn't know the lines of weakness of magic either, and hmm, I might die for the first time. Looking at the barrier, it was just circular, so I doubted if there even was a line of weakness.”
Seo-jun played the video that was in the strategy post.
It certainly wouldn't be as fast as real-life lightning, but it was a speed so fast that distinction was meaningless to humans.
- Honestly, you couldn't slash that even if you used Weakness Detection. It was too fast
- It was guaranteed mission failure.
- It was a safe asset.
As soon as Seo-jun finished speaking, a notification sounded.
And Seo-jun grinned.
[+5,000 won added to reward]
[+7,000 won added to reward]
[+3,000 won added to reward]
.
.
.
As soon as the first notification sounded, the reward went up in succession as if a chain reaction was occurring.
In Travel's mission system, once a streamer accepted a mission and it went up on the broadcast screen, anyone could freely add to the reward.
This was viewers, who thought the probability of the mission failing rose due to Seo-jun's remarks just now, raising the money.
Because it was a so-called safe asset that they would get back if it failed anyway.
[Clear without using Weakness Detection when facing the Magic Tower Master — Mission Reward: 1,230,000 won]
- hahaha
- Don't be fooled, everyone!
- The streamer talking weak was obviously calculated. Look at him playing the video once more to get more reward money. In his mind, he probably already had thought of everything to do.
- I smelt the familiar scent of capitalism.
- Tsk, this was why a quick-witted kid was...
When Seo-jun laughed, the viewers who saw this began to notice.
“No, it wasn't. There was no way I would know what to do. It wasn't like I was some game developer, either.”
- Gasp.
- By any chance??
- Reasonable god-level suspicion rose.
- No wonder he was confident even when self-reporting *shivers*
Seo-jun closed the chat window and opened the door to the eighth floor.
“I said it wasn't... Sigh, whatever. Let's go in now.”
- hahaha
<><><>
“Hmm? Who were you?”
A young man was sitting with his hands clasped over the desk.
He had a neat style with white hair cleanly swept back, an angular uniform, and white gloves on his hands.
Magic Tower Master Duke.
The interior of his office was surrounded by high bookshelves tightly packed with books, and the ceiling was open as if the sky could be seen.
Behind the Magic Tower Master, there was a hallway, where strange mechanical devices and magic formulas were visible at a glance.
“You were unnamed?”
Seo-jun replied to the Magic Tower Master's words.
“Unnamed. Why did you come here? No, how did you come?”
“That was...”
*Whoosh!*
Stopping mid-reply, Seo-jun drew his sword and sliced the suddenly flying magic.
“It seemed you had skills. This was quite a pity. It could have ended easily.”
Generating three fireballs again with just a single gesture and launching them at Seo-jun, the Magic Tower Master slowly rose from his seat.
Seo-jun also eliminated the fireballs by moving only his arm without even a single movement of his body.
*Step.*
And he took a step forward.
“Geez, you had no manners. Wasn't that right?”
“Were you talking to me?”
More than ten ice arrows generated with just another single gesture.
It was obnoxious that his other hand was placed behind his back.
“There was indeed, other than you. Such a thing.”
Seo-jun approached the Magic Tower Master while dodging the arrows.
*Step.*
“Was that so? So how did you come here?”
*Rustle.*
*Rumble.*
Following that, the vines trying to bind him and the sharply rising rock trying to strike the bound him approached sequentially.
Seo-jun made his way through the vines, drove his sword into the rock to dismantle the magic, and took another step closer.
*Step.*
“I just walked in like this. Since the doors weren't locked.”
- F*cking cool
- It was a fact
- Ah lol He should have managed the doors properly lol
- It was easy up to here
“Hmm... Could you really dodge this too?”
Once again, a wave of magic rushed over.
However, no matter how much faster and more powerful it became, there was no doubt that fundamentally, it was the same magic.
“Yeah. I could dodge it even with my eyes closed.”
*Step.*
- It was a fact 22222
- Streamer's wit hahaha
- Considering how he used to humblebrag to the viewers in the first place, there's no way his personality was good hahaha
“Before we knew it, we became close, didn't we?”
Unlike before, Seo-jun instantly narrowed the distance and slashed his sword from left to right.
*Slash!*
The Magic Tower Master quickly retreated backward using teleportation, but a solid line was drawn on his neck and blood splattered.
He had been slightly late.
However, the Magic Tower Master did not show any sign of surprise. Rather, he had the peaceful expression that Seo-jun always wore.
“Hmm. Fine. I would face you with all my power.”
The Magic Tower Master took off his white cotton gloves and put his hands together.
And blue sparks began to fly around the Magic Tower Master.
- It was Phase 2
- Distance yourself for now
- Run away!
*Crackle!*
The Magic Tower Master reached out toward Seo-jun.
The air ruptured and thunder roared.
*Boom!*
The blue, vivid lightning, which one would only see in a Tesla coil, instantly grazed past Seo-jun and struck the floor.
The magic was briefly held in midair before disappearing, and what remained was the gouged floor in a blackened state.
‘Ha.’
It was a speed far faster than even the swift sword of an absolute master he had experienced in his past life,
“What was I supposed to do about this.”
Seo-jun broke into a cold sweat.
A speed of 100,000 km per second.
Even if it was slowed down by 10,000 times from the original speed, it was 10 km per second.
It was a relief that I watched the video beforehand.
- How did he dodge it hahaha
- Wasn't he seriously pro-level at this point? Why was he streaming?
- Because the streamer was a crazy bastard for broadcasting hahaha
Dodging by looking was impossible.
Instead, he could dodge by looking at the Magic Tower Master and predicting with the right timing.
*Crackle!*
Sparks flew in the Magic Tower Master's hand as electric current gathered again.
Seo-jun did not take his eyes off the Magic Tower Master's hand.
*Boom!*
Once again, lightning struck the floor.
The magic grazed past the part of Seo-jun's right shoulder.
Seo-jun thought that the most important thing in a fight was observation.
*Crackle!*
The electric charge gathering in the Magic Tower Master's hand.
*Boom!*
And the lightning magic striking down again.
*Crackle!*
Seo-jun threw his body to the left this time and dodged.
*Boom!*
Unlike a bullet fired as soon as the trigger was pulled, magic had a slight delay until activation, and Seo-jun used that delay to dodge while continuing to observe.
As a result of fighting like that, making a mess of the office several times, Seo-jun was able to notice a few things.
First, the Magic Tower Master.
‘I didn't know for what reason, but he didn't seem to want me to get closer to that back area.’
When he moved to the right, the Magic Tower Master launched magic further to the right than that, inducing Seo-jun to return to his original position.
‘It was the same even if I went to the left.’
Even if he narrowed the distance while narrowly dodging the lightning in a straight line, the Magic Tower Master did not retreat backward but rather used a shield to push Seo-jun away and held his ground.
Because Seo-jun had no way to break the shield, he had no choice but to pull back again.
In this case, well, it was obvious.
‘It seemed he had to protect something important in the back.’
Seo-jun looked at the wall behind the Magic Tower Master. There, a soccer-ball-sized ring-shaped object was floating inside a glass tube.
‘I wanted to touch it.’
Seo-jun drew a machete from his inventory and threw it.
However, it was blocked by the Magic Tower Master's shield, which was nearly three meters wide.
- Yeah, no.
- hahaha how long were you going to dodge?
- There was no answer, right? You had to retry, right?
- Let's at least get some bombs and come back.
‘As expected.’
He knew it would be like this.
*Crackle.*
“Where did you think you were going!”
The Magic Tower Master shouted and reached out his hand.
He seemed excited.
*Boom!*
Tilting his head to the side, Seo-jun dodged the lightning and thought.
‘This was the second question.’
Seo-jun captured the blue lightning lingering in the air for about one second with his eyes.
It was beautiful.
Although it was only a single bolt of lightning when viewed from afar, when viewed up close, several thin blue light strands clustered and split, forming a single shape.
‘Why, of all things, did they ask not to use Weakness Detection as a mission.’
Anyway, lightning could never be sliced or dismantled.
This was impossible even if Seo-jun brought his past life's body and realm.
‘Did an ordinary person just say it?’
Even so, to spend one million won?
Seo-jun had an intuition that the person who set the mission was a game associate.
And that intuition became stronger the more he saw the lingering lightning.
There was something there.
Seo-jun composed himself and left his body to instinct.
*Boom!*
The sound of air rupturing was heard, and a fantastic strand produced by blue electric charges passed before Seo-jun's eyes in an instant.
As multiple branches of lightning clustered and scattered with each other like a broken glass window.
The overlapping intersection of small branches. Its center point.
In a split-second moment, Seo-jun drove his sword there following his intuition.
