Tower Gate – Preparation for the Final Floor
The short break between floors had given the team a chance to recover, but the anticipation for the final floor was palpable. The announcement system crackled to life, its tone ominous and foreboding.
“Attention, participants!” the loudspeaker announced. “The final floor of the Tower Gate will commence shortly. You will face the army of Demon King Arthur, including 100 dragons, 1000 wyverns, and 10,000 demonic beasts and monsters. Prepare for an epic confrontation.”
The announcement left the remaining hunters visibly shaken. The scope of the battle ahead was unprecedented, and many of them looked frightened as they mentally prepared themselves for the fight.
Hyun, however, displayed a rare smile of anticipation. He was unfazed by the overwhelming numbers and seemed genuinely excited for the challenge ahead. His confidence was a stark contrast to the apprehension of his fellow hunters.
“This is going to be epic,” Hyun said, his voice filled with determination. “Let’s show them what we’re made of.”
Jin-Ho looked at Hyun with a mix of admiration and concern. “You’re taking this well. But we need to be careful. The scale of this battle is massive.”
Mina, though still tense, nodded in agreement. “We’ve come this far. We need to give it everything we’ve got.”
The team prepared their gear and took a deep breath, bracing themselves for the final floor’s trials.
**Inside the Tower – The Final Floor:**
The entrance to the final floor opened with a rumbling sound, revealing a vast, dark battlefield. The air was thick with a menacing energy, and the ground was littered with the remnants of previous battles. The sight of the army of Demon King Arthur was both awe-inspiring and terrifying.
Hyun stepped forward, his gaze unwavering as he surveyed the army before him. The dragons soared high above, their roars echoing through the cavern. The wyverns darted around, their wings creating gusts of wind. The demonic beasts and monsters roamed the battlefield, their eyes glowing with a malevolent light.
“Here they come,” Jin-Ho said, his voice grim. “We need to stick together and focus on our targets.”
Mina cast a protective barrier around the team, her spells creating a shimmering shield that deflected the initial attacks. “I’ll keep us protected as best as I can. Focus on the dragons and wyverns first.”
Hyun’s expression was focused and determined. “I’ll handle the majority of the army. Keep your defenses up and support me as needed.”
**Wave 1 – The Dragons and Wyverns:**
The first wave of the final battle began as the dragons and wyverns charged forward. The sheer number of flying creatures made the battle chaotic and overwhelming. The sky was filled with the flurry of wings and the roar of dragons.
Hyun took to the air with remarkable agility, using his speed to evade the dragons’ attacks and strike back with precision. His movements were fluid and strategic, targeting the dragons’ weak spots and neutralizing them one by one.
Jin-Ho fought alongside Hyun, his sword cleaving through the wyverns with powerful strikes. “We need to focus on the dragons! They’re the biggest threat!”
Mina’s spells created barriers and healing auras, providing crucial support to the team amidst the chaos. “I’m keeping us protected. Watch out for the wyverns!”
The battle was intense, with the team coordinating their efforts to take down the dragons and wyverns. Despite the overwhelming odds, Hyun’s prowess on the battlefield shone through. He was relentless and efficient, taking down dragons with precise strikes and managing to create openings for Jin-Ho and Mina to exploit.
**Wave 2 – The Demonic Beasts:**
As the first wave of dragons and wyverns was cleared, the second wave arrived. The ground was soon filled with a horde of demonic beasts, their roars and growls adding to the cacophony of battle.
The sheer number of demonic beasts made the battle even more challenging. The team fought valiantly, their efforts focused on holding the line and preventing the beasts from overwhelming them.
Hyun’s movements were a blur as he engaged the demonic beasts, his strikes precise and deadly. He darted through the battlefield, targeting key threats and creating openings for Jin-Ho and Mina.
Jin-Ho’s sword flashed through the air, his strikes powerful and unrelenting. “We need to keep pushing forward! We can’t let them break through!”
Mina’s spells provided much-needed support, creating barriers and healing auras that helped the team stay in the fight. “I’m doing what I can to keep us safe. Just stay focused!”
The battle was a test of endurance and skill, with the team fighting to hold their ground against the relentless tide of demonic beasts. Despite the odds, they managed to push through, their coordination and determination proving to be their greatest assets.
**Wave 3 – The Army’s Resilience:**
As the battle continued, the army of Demon King Arthur displayed remarkable resilience. The monsters seemed to regroup and launch new, coordinated attacks, making it even harder for the team to maintain control.
The dragons and wyverns continued to harass the team from above, while the demonic beasts swarmed from all directions. The battlefield was a chaotic maelstrom of combat, with the team fighting to keep their footing.
Hyun’s resolve remained unshaken as he fought through the chaos. His strikes were precise and calculated, targeting key threats and neutralizing them efficiently. He was a force of nature on the battlefield, his movements fluid and relentless.
Jin-Ho fought with unwavering determination, his sword cleaving through the monsters with powerful strikes. “We need to stay focused and keep pushing forward! We’re almost there!”
Mina’s spells continued to provide crucial support, creating barriers and healing auras that helped the team stay in the fight. “We’ve got this! Just a little longer!”
The battle raged on, with the team pushing through the relentless waves of monsters. Despite the overwhelming odds, they managed to hold their ground and make significant progress.
**Aftermath – The Final Floor Completion:**
As the final wave of monsters was defeated, the battlefield fell silent. The air was thick with the aftermath of battle, and the ground was littered with the remains of the defeated foes.
The announcement system crackled to life, signaling the end of the floor’s trials.
“Congratulations, participants! You have successfully cleared the final floor of the Tower Gate. You have proven your strength and resilience. Prepare yourselves for the final confrontation with Demon King Arthur.”
The team stood amidst the remains of their foes, their breaths ragged and their bodies covered in wounds. The victory was hard-earned, and the anticipation for the final confrontation was palpable.
Jin-Ho looked at Hyun with a mixture of respect and concern. “That was incredible. We’ve made it through the final floor. The real test will be facing Demon King Arthur himself.”
Mina, though still catching her breath, gave Hyun a nod of respect. “You were amazing out there. We need to be ready for whatever comes next.”
Hyun, his expression serious, nodded in agreement. “We’ve come this far. Let’s see this through to the end.”
As the team prepared for the final confrontation, Hyun’s resolve remained unshaken. The Tower Gate had tested their endurance, skill, and perseverance, and the ultimate challenge awaited them.
