Chapter 75 - Nightmare, 6th Floor (1)
Chapter 75: Nightmare, 6th Floor (1)
TL: Enuma Novel
If Floor 4’s theme had been defense, Floor 6 added offense to the mix.
Units from both sides clashed on the lanes, and whoever pushed into and destroyed the enemy base first won. Anyone who’d ever gamed had probably encountered the genre at least once.
League of Hero.
Ӗ n̂üḿ ā.і̇ d̄
It wasn’t quite as popular as it used to be, but there was one famous title that might as well be Korea’s national pastime.
Floor 6 was easy to grasp by picturing that game’s format.

Lanes existed, monsters spawned from each base and advanced along the lanes.
Turrets were stationed at points along the lanes, and pushing into the enemy base to destroy their nexus meant victory.
The difference, of course, was that this wasn’t a 5v5 team match but solo play.
League of Hero also had two map types.
Е́n̂u m̊ а
Maps with three lanes, and maps with one.
Floor 6 could be thought of as taking place on the single-lane map.
[You have entered Nightmare Difficulty Floor 6.]
[Absorbing Floor 5’s Power of the Floor.]

Messages cascaded the moment I entered.
Since I’d entered Floor 6, I’d received the Floor 5 level rewards as expected.

[Level: 70]
I stopped time immediately.
As always, I started by checking the visual information in front of me.
A sky packed with thunderclouds, looking ready to crack open at any moment.
Stretched out before me was an enormous overpass.
That bridge was the lane.
W̊ӗb̌ n_о vel Е ṅum̆ а
And way off across the bridge in the distance… the enemy base.
With my eyesight, I could see the enemy base clearly. Their nexus too.

The bridge was about 500 meters long, was it?
Eyeballing the distance, Nightmare seemed to be about the same as the other difficulties.
I released time and looked around.
I was currently positioned in our base.
Е̄ ñ um̃а
A massive red gemstone hovered faintly above the center of our base.
That was our nexus.
Above the nexus, an HP bar was displayed, just like in a video game.
“…?”

But…
…this is weird.
Ěn̆ŭ m̄a
Why are there three bridges?
Looking around, it wasn’t just the bridge in front of me.
Two more bridges connected outward, surrounding the base. Each pointing toward the vertices of a triangle.
In other words, there were three lanes.
Ahh, I get it.
So enemies came at me from all three directions?
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
“Goddammit.”
I wasn’t even surprised.
Unlike the other difficulties with their single lane, Nightmare apparently had three.
Yeah, yeah… that’s Nightmare for you.
So I had to cover all three lanes by myself.
And destroy three of the enemy’s nexuses too.
Е́ ňüm̀ ӓ
‘Not gonna be easy.’
Whatever it took, I’d just have to pull it off. Same as always.

I prepped myself.
Monsters spawned thirty seconds after entry, so it would begin soon.
I quickly checked over my body, now stronger thanks to leveling up to 70.
From the weapons hanging on one side of the base, I picked up a mace.
È ṅu mа. і̌ d
[The match is starting!]
[Destroy all of the opponent’s nexuses!]
A moment later, a message appeared before my eyes.
Pop.

At the same time, three blue portals formed near the nexus.
A goblin was summoned from each one.
E n̂ûm̂а̀
The goblins began advancing toward their respective lanes the moment they spawned.
The ground at each lane entrance was helpfully labeled with the numbers 1, 2, and 3.
I moved to Lane 1 first.
Passing between a pair of blue megalithic statues that loomed at the bridge entrance, I followed the goblin.
Goooooo…
Looking down off the bridge, I saw a bottomless abyss. A cold draft wafted up from below.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
It felt like a massive fidget-spinner-shaped field floating in midair.
I shifted my gaze back to the goblin.
Kerek- kaerek-
The goblin walked along, kerek-ing to itself, completely unbothered by my presence.
Friendly units couldn’t be given commands, if I remembered right.
Their entire programmed command was basically: follow the lane and fight the enemy. That was the whole input.
Ẃ е́b̆n̄о v̄е l Е̄ nů m̊ а
Turrets came in two types: First Turret and Second Turret.
The pair of stone statues I’d just passed at the bridge entrance were the Second Turrets.

And the single statue near the middle of the bridge was the First Turret.
The number and arrangement of turrets was the same on the enemy’s side.
So to summarize:
Destroy the enemy’s First Turret, destroy the Second Turret, push into the base, and destroy the nexus. Done.
Е.ṅu m ӑ
Since the nexus could only be destroyed after all the turrets were taken out first, changing the order was impossible…
And with three lanes, I’d need to repeat this three times.
Of course, being Nightmare, who knew what cute little gimmick was lurking.
For reference, our side spawned one monster while theirs spawned three.

Since the enemy didn’t have a player like me, it made sense they got more monsters.
The difference between difficulties was in the monster.
W̄ е.b́n̂ о̂ v еl̄ Е́ n u m̂ă
Easy spawned slightly stronger goblins than the ones on Floor 1.
Normal spawned orcs.
Hard supposedly spawned orcs much stronger than Normal’s.
Then why, on Nightmare, was I getting goblins?
No need to wonder.
Because the enemy’s monsters weren’t goblins.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
“Heh.”
I reached the middle of the bridge.
I looked at the enemy monsters and laughed. A dry laugh, of course.
Green-skinned giants, far bigger than goblins.
They looked like they could crush a goblin in one hand.
Not orcs… ogres, maybe?
W еb̈nõ v̈ е̄ľ Е n̂ ǔmа
From memory, they looked a bit different from the trolls I’d seen at the Sub-Tower before.
Anyway, that wasn’t the point.
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
What mattered was that we had one goblin while they had three ogres. Crazy fucking unbalanced.
Three lanes and they pulled this on top of it.
It was outrageously unfair, but I decided to think positive.
Hey, at least they didn’t spawn ten at a time, right? How generous!
Е nůḿȧ.і́ d̆
Grrrraaah-!
The ogres came charging at me.
Our goblin charged in too, like an ant rushing an elephant.
Before the goblin could get clobbered, I stepped in first.
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
I leapt up and shattered the lead ogre’s skull in a single blow.
KABOOOM!
Еn ů_m а̌
I took out the other two with Flame Strike.
Thankfully, the ogres weren’t all that strong.
Roughly level 20 or so?
The dead ogres’ corpses vanished quickly.
I looked at the enemy’s First Turret.
A red megalithic statue, identical in shape to ours but different in color.

With all the enemies dead, the goblin pressed on toward the enemy turret.
ZAP!
A laser shot out from the turret and erased the goblin.
I stopped time.
‘Let’s see.’
Time to sort this out.
W ӗ b̈ ń.о v́ е l E ñ u mа́
Sure, it was goblin vs. ogre, but with me here, the unit power gap between us and them wasn’t an issue…
The problem was that there were three lanes.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
While I was pushing one, the other two would keep getting attacked.
Against three ogres, our goblin might as well not exist.
The solution came to me right away.
I released time and dashed back to the base.
Ӗnũ m a . їd̈
“Plli.”
I summoned Plli and sent her to Lane 2.
Three ogres around level 20 were easy work for Plli alone.
That handled Lane 2.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
I sprinted to Lane 3.
Spotted one ogre pounding on the First Turret.
Ẽ n̂ ü_m̆ a
Just then, the turret’s laser blasted the remaining ogre apart.
The turret’s laser cooldown was 10 seconds, was it?
The turret’s attack seemed to one-shot even ogres, but since ogres came three at a time, an unattended lane’s turret was bound to take some damage.
Monster spawn interval: 30 seconds.
The next three ogres appeared right away.
FWOOOSH!
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
I unfurled Scorching Zone in the middle of Lane 3’s bridge.
The ogres that stepped into Scorching Zone burst into flames.
With the Zone 3 boss’s bracelet plus the fire magic passive boosting its power considerably, the ogres dropped one after another in no time, sustained-damage skill or not.
[Skill: Scorching Zone (Rare+)]
Creates a 5-meter radius scorching zone within 10 meters. Enemies within the zone take continuous burn damage. Requires 50 seconds of mental concentration to cast.
Classification: Magic Type

What was the upside of Scorching Zone?
The 10-meter range was only the casting requirement; once cast, the skill could be sustained no matter how far I moved away.
In short, I could leave Scorching Zone deployed here on Lane 3…
while I worked Lane 1.
Еṅ ǔ ma . іd̃
Sure, Scorching Zone would also team-kill our goblin…
but since the goblin wasn’t going to break a turret on its own anyway, that didn’t matter.
Lane 2 with Plli, Lane 3 with Scorching Zone.
That solved the empty-lane problem.

While the two lanes auto-farmed themselves, all I had to do was push Lane 1!
I returned to Lane 1.
W̄ebň оv е̇ l̀ Е n üma
The turret’s laser range was about 10 meters.
Attack priority went to units before climbers, so the textbook play was to use the goblins as meat shields while attacking the turret…
But I didn’t have to bother with that.
I had magic skills that could attack from outside the turret’s range.
I stopped time and concentrated for 300 seconds.
Apparently turret defenses were quite tough, taking a fair amount of time to destroy…

But would the one-click Destruction Ray work on a turret too?
[You have destroyed Lane 1’s First Turret!]
It worked.
When I fired the fully-charged Destruction Ray, the turret crumbled with a hole punched clean through it. And the message popped up.
Powerful as ever, Destruction Ray…!
My willpower had drained dry, so I stopped time again to recover.
Ẇe̊ bn̄ о̇ v̊ӗl Е̌ nũ mа
With Scorching Zone deployed on Lane 3, willpower drain was significant.
If my willpower hit zero, Scorching Zone would deactivate, so I had to recover at regular intervals.

Once my willpower was full, I advanced on the Second Turret.
The Second Turrets at the bridge entrance stood in a pair, like gatekeepers.
Destruction Ray was on cooldown, so I unleashed Flame Strike and the rest of my arsenal.
KABOOOM!
W̄ е_b̈ n о v ё l̄ _Е n̆ ũmа
I couldn’t one-shot it like with Destruction Ray, but seeing fragments break off, the damage was clearly landing.
While handling ogres along the way, I kept indiscriminately bombarding the turret.
Soon the left turret collapsed, leaving only the right one.
‘Easier than I thought…’

At this rate, I’d cruise through to the nexus and wrap up Lane 1.
Then I could push Lanes 2 and 3 the same way.
E n ú ma
But progress on Nightmare being smooth?
Yeah, no.
Sure, three lanes was plenty Nightmare-flavored bullshit… but I doubted that was the end of it. You’re not just this much, are you.
[You have destroyed Lane 1’s Second Turret!]
Soon the right turret collapsed too, and the Second Turrets were completely destroyed.
I left the bridge and entered the enemy base.

All that remained was the nexus.
The red nexus floating at the center of the enemy base.
Unlike the monsters and turrets, the nexus had a visible HP bar.
Destruction Ray’s cooldown had reset, so I fired off another fully-charged Destruction Ray straight at the nexus…
Unlike the turrets, the nexus didn’t go down even after taking the hit.
Its HP only ticked down by a tiny sliver. 1% knocked off.
W ĕ b̊nо̊ v̆ ё l̇ Ê ñǔ ḿ ӑ
So the nexus didn’t go down in one shot either, huh?
I’d already expected this, so I wasn’t fazed.
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
The other difficulties had also said the nexus couldn’t be destroyed in one hit.
1% of HP per second.
That was the cap on damage that could be dealt to the nexus.
In other words, destroying it took a minimum of 100 seconds, no matter what.
W е b ň о v̌е̇ľ Ё ň ū m̀а̃
BANG! BANG! BANG!
I started pounding the nexus with my mace.
Ogres spawned from a red portal right next to the nexus, drew aggro onto me, and came charging in.
I handled them with Flame Strike and kept attacking the nexus.

The other lanes were holding fine, and as long as I cleared this lane’s ogres while breaking the nexus, the time it took wasn’t an issue.
So I kept chipping away at the nexus’s HP, 1% per second.
W е̃b̌nо v е l _Е̄ nu ḿ а
CRACK!
After 100 seconds, the massive nexus split with a fissure and began to collapse.
[You have destroyed Lane 1’s Nexus!]
The message appeared.
But…
“…huh?”
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
My eyes went wide.
It was because the shattered fragments of the nexus had suddenly risen back into the air.
They condensed and reformed, restoring the nexus to its original state in an instant.
[Incorrect order!]
[Destroy the opponent’s nexuses in the designated order!]
[A penalty has been applied!]

[The number of enemy monsters spawned has doubled!]
[Enemy monsters gain Stage 1 resistance!]

Ah…
So there was a designated order?
‘Of course there was.’
Here it came.
Е̄ ṅu m̃a
The signature Nightmare bullshit: figure it out, or eat shit for not knowing.
