Chapter 779: Floor 81



Chapter 779: Floor 81

“Okay guys, let’s sing a song. It’s a song of love, passion and me cleaving your heads in two. It’s called, the song of fun!” Draco roared as he moved with his sword like a blur towards one of the nearby attackers.

“Don’t stop me noooowww, ’cause I’m having a good time, having a good timeee~” Draco sang as he cut that person in twain, their face changing into one of horror and pain as they turned into pixels.

The others moved back slightly as their faces changed, but Draco was in the zone, totally flushed from joy at taking the lives of his fellow men without them being able to do anything about it.

“I’m a shooting star leaping through the skyyyy~~” Draco continued as he practically blinked over to a woman who was trying to dive into the swamp to hide. He grabbed her skull and crushed it using brute force alone, the blood splattering then disappearing into pixels as items fell.

“We have to team up to take this guy down! He has Legendary items for sure!” One of the survivors shouted as he knocked an arrow into his bow.

“Defying the laws of gravityyyy~” Draco sung as he danced lightly as he neared a hammer wielding fellow.

“So what if he does, we also have Legendary items!” The fellow with the huge hammer roared as he swung at Draco.

?Mithril Hammer – Weapon

Rank: Legendary

Uses: 50 Swings

Damage: 100

Enchantments: This hammer will always connect with its target when swung as long as they are within range.?

BANG!

The hammer connected with Draco and sent him flying into one of the nearby trees, crashing into it and burying him deep within it.

The hammer wielder sneered and placed his weapon over his shoulder. “See, it’s that simple!”

“I’m a racing car passing by like Lady Godiva~~”

Soon the happiness of the hammer wielder disappeared as the tree exploded, revealing Draco who had barely been harmed. His arms were outstretched to the sky as his legs did the shimmy.

Before the hammer wielder could even say a word, Draco appeared before him and swung horizontally, bisecting the fellow cleanly from the waist. Draco had even cut through the shift of his hammer which he futilely tried to use to block.

“I’m gonna go, go, go, there’s no stopping meeee!!”

Seeing Draco casually kill them, many began to have panic attacks as they fled. Draco saw the floor details appear as he was kicked out, but he jumped right back in only to see that nothing had changed. They had only just begun turning around to flee.

“Don’t stop mee nowwww, I’m having such a good time, I’m having a ball!” Draco sang as he cleanly cut through the others one by one, reaping their lives regardless of whether they begged were beautiful or were handsome. Thinking that he would spare beauties because he was a lecher was wishful thinking.

After all, we all knew that Draco did things mostly on a whim. If he wanted to do it, he would do it. If he didn’t want to, he wouldn’t.

Even thought the girls from before were not as pretty as the ones that had survived until now, back then he had been in a good mood, so he had decided to capture those. Now, however, he was in a splendid mood and felt like slaughtering to express his happiness, so his kids would have to be contend with what he had already collected!

When Draco beheaded the last person, he realized that the world had not come to an end, as if waiting for him to do something. Draco wrung his lips and decided to cave in, as he did the famous forkknife default dance.

After humiliating himself in a way shamelessness could not smother, the floor finally decomposed and spat him out back into the castle as if he was trash. He sighed deeply and swore to get revenge on this damned Tower for making him do that.

Luckily, no one saw him do it.

Nope, certainly not hundreds of External Origin Gods prying into his life like spectators watching a show, no siree!

After finishing floor 80 just now, Draco was deciding whether to jump into floor 81. He was personally annoyed that Qiong Qi and Clarent had missed out on the fun on the previous floor, and he was sure they were just as miffed as he was.

Draco did some quick maths and found that only barely a few IRL hours has passed. As such, he shrugged and like a ‘responsible’ soon-to-be-father… he defaulted on his responsibility to be there for his wife and focused on playing video games instead.

Draco jumped right onto the next floor. This time, he noticed that he was in a rowdy tavern with eleven other fellows, all of whom were seated in different places while seemingly waiting for something.

He looked around and noticed that all the others were of different types and races, which shocked him greatly. Fuck, was that a genuine PHOENIX? And over there, that’s a twin-headed DRAGON??

HOW WAS THIS POSSIBLE?!

Suddenly, an alarm was heard in the tavern, which was completely out of the place since the entire place looked medieval. What was with this modern sounding a siren? However, Draco saw that the others were not shocked or miffed, rather they seemed excited.

Before he could think, a light surrounded him, and he was pulled out of the tavern and into a small square with a lot of greenery, a lovely fountain with tiny blue fairies, and a strange Ent that gazed at them severely.

Right as Draco saw another four fellows spawn beside him, the details of the floor came up.

?The Eighty-First Floor – Divine Quest

Description: Welcome to the world of Azeroth, otherworlder! You have been selected among hundreds of candidates to partake in one of the universe’s oldest games, Defense of the Ancients!

Provision 4: You cannot suffer true death on this floor. You will always respawn at your team fountain after the death penalty timer has reached zero.

Rewards: Score Points, 1 Supreme-Tier Reward Selection.?

Reading this, Draco was actually interested. From Battle Royale to Multiplayer Online Battle Arena? Oh, but in this case, the Multiplayer Online could be removed since this did not require Internet. Still, it was a very interesting jump.

Damn, this Tower had really saved the best for last. If floor 81-90 was going to consist of various MOBA battles, what would floor 91-100 be? It had to be something extremely fun to make it worthwhile!

Draco looked through the Limitations and sneered when he saw that, as usual, his various abilities were blocked. However, this time he actually displayed a look of shock since the Tower Spirit had wizened up even more.

It had admitted its defeat in trying to suppress him directly. Instead, it had smartly found a way to constrain him using the rules.

Couldn’t suppress his bloodline or remove Control? Fine! Use it if you dare, but you’ll get banned the moment you do!

Draco could only tsk. He had bullied this Tower Spirit until it had started to adopt the behaviors of a typical discord mod of a large server.

Whatever the case, he looked around and noticed that his teammates were frozen in place, as if the world had been paused. With a sneer, he directly kicked all four out and replaced them with Qiong Qi, Clarent, Zhulong and Medusa.

The four looked around cluelessly, wondering what was going on when they suddenly froze as if receiving information. Draco could only sigh as the AI once again brutally reminded him that no matter how he interacted with these fellows and may seem close to them, they were all digital code it owned and controlled.

It seemed it was catching them up with the rules and plays of the MOBA genre, which was fine with Draco. Soon, they snapped out of it and seemed to be interested.

“What good thing is this? I get to slaughter as I like? Count me in!” Clarent laughed as he began fiddling with his abilities.

“Roar! My gawd, I’m so going to chew someone to death today!” Qiong Qi added as he too began selecting skills carefully.

Zhulong and Medusa did not comment, but also began selecting. As for Draco, seeing that the others were getting ready, he too worked on his own prowess, slowly but surely.

Right now, his character panel looked like this.

?Name: Draco

Class: Level 1 Abyssal Prime

Exp: 0/100

Health: 2050/2050

Mana: 1300/1300

_______________

Damage: 130 – 135 (Sword)

Armor: 17 (Medium)

_______________

Strength: 100 (Primary)

Agility: 100

Intelligence: 100

_________

Skills: Draconic Regeneration, Demonic Might, Devil’s Guile, Demon Form.

Inventory: Empty.?

Before checking out his new skills, Draco checked out the mechanics through the tooltips. The tree stats, Strength, Agility and Intelligence influenced all the others in certainw ways.

Every point of Strength increased HP by 19 points, and increased HP regen by 1 point.

Every point of Agility increased attack speed by 1% and movement speed by 0.5%. It also increased armor by 1 point for every 7 points of Agility.

Every point of Intelligence increased MP by 13 points and MP regen by 1 point.

Since Strength was Draco’s primary stat in this game, Strength also had the added effect of increasing his damage by 1 point for every point in Strength. The numbers confused Draco though, until he discovered the obvious.

Heroes had a base HP of 150 regardless of stats and base damage of 30-35, they had a base armor of varying values depending on their inherent armor type which also affected movement speed.

In Draco’s case, his base armor had a value of 3 since he wore medium armor, and his movement speed was designated as fast. Armor had varying functions, but mostly affected damage reduction from physical attacks and spells.

Each point of Armor was 1% damage reduction, so Draco had a 17% chance that an enemy’s damage waived off automatically!

Damage was also augmented by the weapon type. Whether it was long-ranged, close range, physical, magical or technological, it had varying effects on the damage done.

As Draco used a sword, his attack speed was determined to be fast, and his damage type was automatically set to ‘Hero’.

‘Hero’ damage did no specific damage effect, but it was not affected by resistance. Draco’s specific damage type with the sword was categorized as slashing damage, which dealt more damage to light armor types, average damage to medium armor types, though only half damage to heavy armor types.

Author’s Note: Sorry about the terrible release rate recently, I’m currently trapped between the horrors of having to get a life which is Anti-NEET and frankly, anti-peace of mind to write.

Should get significantly better this month.

Also, take a peep at my WSA entry called Damon’s Ascension, it’s part of the larger GW universe, and it’s also my first time partaking in this thing.

Ever since Darius Supreme, WN have decided that promoting any of my works apart from the occasional GW mention is a taboo, so I have to rely on you guys to lift Damon like you did Darius.
