Chapter 416: Grassland Occupation War 1
The gimmick of the prairie layers from the 51st to 60th floors is a territory-capturing game.
Additionally, after the mages analyzed the dark purple crystals and we researched the safe zones and monster encampments we'd conquered, the gimmick was fully revealed. Viewers were making a fuss, saying it was Han Se-ah's first-ever gaming achievement to get complete information before diving in headfirst.
"What do you mean they're gradually coming down?" I asked.
"This crystal you heroes brought us is truly remarkable. And also wicked and vicious," the excited mage explained.
The priest, wearing a displeased expression, added to the mage's explanation. It was actually quite a simple gimmick. The monster army on the 60th floor kidnapped humans through fake safe zones and processed them with black magic to create these dark purple crystals.
Come to think of it, wasn't it strange that fake safe zones consumed mana when people entered, and then summoned people when the mana was completely depleted? How could a summoning spell be cast when mana reached zero?
So in fact, what we'd been calling fake safe zones were actually neutral safe zones. When you fill a neutral safe zone with mana, it eventually bears the fruit of divine energy and becomes a real safe zone. When a neutral safe zone is completely drained of mana, it becomes a 'potential' monster encampment that sucks away life force.
"So that means from the 56th floor up...?" Katie asked.
"Yes. There's a high chance their army is waiting," the priest confirmed.
