Floor 6.5
The door opened as the Gms eagle was ripped to shreds from the inside and all its contents pored out. And the door to the next floor opened at the same time. Finally giving tributes to the team formed by the truce between us everyone of is ascended one step towards our destination.
And then we reached a checkpoint.
The 6.5 floor. A point of rest. As always the floor was filled with the darkness the covered the entire floor.
But then the light once again shine on the guardian of the tower. Jasper.
Jasper :
As the guardian of the tower let me welcome you to the six and half floor.
As always you can restock on equipments, weapons , armor, potions and even buy new weapons.
In this we have also added an service. You can enchant your weapons to have additional abilities.
McElroy :
Let's head to the shop, let's see the merchandise.
And then in the shop there was Jasper once again role playing as an shopkeeper.
Jasper :
Ya twerps, ya better have tower gold this time. Or this time you'll be getting the shoe.
Jay :
How much is your mightiest weapon again.
Jasper :
The thunderous blade will cost you 200000.
Jay :
This is higher than last time.
Jasper :
Due to the rising demand and short supply and inflation our prices increases I can't do anything about it. If ya can afford it then buy or don't bug me you beggers.
Jay :
What short supply there is literally Noone else in the tower who want to buy it.
Shopkeeper :
Look kid, the prices sre final. Dey ain't changing
McElroy :
Why don't we buy some spells, those will give us a better moment.
Jay :
Seems a much better idea.
Jay :
Jasper, change the shop.
Jasper changed his persona as he wore a long beard resembling a wizard. As he walked towards another shop this one themed around magic while Jay and McElroy followed him.
Wizard :
Welcome climbers of this mysterious tower pray tell, how this man can help you today.
McElroy decided to roleplay around.
McElroy :
Oh great wizard we are here for your blessings to cling to tower and perhaps a discount on your wares.
Wizard :
My this remind me of the olden days when I travelled the world. I suppose I can give a discount.
So what spells do you need.
McElroy :
OH great wizard we are in need of your finest of spells.
This is the literal definition of buttering up.
Jasper :
Very well, here are my finest of spells.
Here's one it can rain thunder on your foes striking them down with lightning.
Or this one. Which casts your foes into an tornado of fire.
This spell freezes your foes solid or this one
Which called Unlimited Blade works.
I'm sorry I can't sell this one.
So which one do you want to buy.
Jay :
What about the tornado one.
Wizard :
The tornado spell with accounting the initial price, inflation adjustment, tax to the tower for setting shop here and finally your twenty five percent discount boils down to
156250 tower gold.
Jay :
Who are you paying tax to even, Fine give me the tornado spell.
The wizard flicked his wand and then it sparked for a second before turning dim.
Wizard :
Your now a wizard Harry.
Jay :
This one was simple enough to spot at least.
McElroy :
I want the freeze one.
With the flick of a wand the spells were once again granted to the wealthy.
Jasper :
You're now a Wizard too Master.
Jasper fumbled around a little bit when he heard himself mess up. But Jasper found a convinient way to cover his mistake up.
Jasper :
Oh I'm sorry my persona switch flipped up. For breaking the immersion as an apology please take another spell.
Jay :
Then i want the unlimited blade works.
Jasper once again turned into a wizard.
Jasper :
I told you I can't sell you the unlimited blade works spell.
Jay :
Why?
Wizard :
It's nothing but another showpiece, it doesn't work. Don't come crying to me if it doesn't work.
Jay :
Then sell me the best magic you have across all floors.
Wizard :
Even I think you're asking for too much. I can't do that. I can give you some mid to high range instead. That to even 3 spells completely free.
Jay :
Deal.
The deal was completed Jay and McElroy got three spells of their choice. Jay could finally use his highly valued flamethrower. And McElroy could now drop a spire onto his opponents. While for the third spell there was a game of rock paper scissors which lasted for more than thirty rounds.
For one knowing and perceiving each others moves.
The tie breaker cane when Jay used a trick taught by his childhood friend who he now has no connection with whatsoever to distract McElroy and won the bout.
And as for the prize Jay picked the Gun. Well to be exact a metal magic spell which allows him to fore a projectile mimicking the gun.
To activate it Jay has to make a finger gun and then fire it.
As for McElroy he received the consolation prize of an enchanted blade imbued with a spell compatible with the blade. McElroy when he saw Masayuki's blade which was imbued with light made he was impressed. Even though it didn't manage to do anything.
In his mind it was a wave of energy comes out when the sword is swung and then it cuts through the opponent. Which is the hypothesis that McElroy agrees on.
And that's why on the blade that McElroy was using he enchanted it with lightning magic. And got a lightning blade.
Because at the last second he remembered the blade which he se on the first floor which he did have a fancy on but couldn't but because he didn't have tower gold.
And Jay's actually commended him on the decision that he made.
And now the ascend one more step towards their destination. The top of Tower just four floors shy.
