Chương 63: Resonance in the Void

Recap: You are on Floor 7 (The Void). A Void Walker (Physical Immune) is attacking. You voted to SLAM THE WALKER (PHYSICAL). Torin said physical attacks wouldn't work. He was right. For him. For steel. For flesh. But I wasn't steel. I wasn't flesh. I was Wood. Iron. And Dungeon. The Low Gravity felt like a spring in my base. I didn't just slide; I launched. I angled my trajectory upward, using the spongy shadow bridge as a ramp.

SYSTEM NOTIFICATION Skill Used: Slam Attack Cost: 5 Stamina Current SP: 25/30 Modifier: Low Gravity (Speed +20%, Impact Weight -10%) Target: Void Walker (Level 6) I flew through the starry darkness. 120 pounds of Ironband Mimic moving at sprint speed. The Walker didn't dodge. It couldn't perceive me as a threat. Until I hit it. THOOM. It wasn't a solid hit. It felt like hitting a water balloon filled with lead. My bands sank into its ethereal form. Normally, I would have passed through.

But my Core Resonance passive flared. SYSTEM NOTIFICATION Passive Activated: Core Resonance Effect: Ethereal Resistance Negated Damage Calculation: Slam (Strength 7) + Resonance Base Damage: 10 HP The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident. Gravity Penalty: -10%Resonance Bonus: +20% Total Damage: 11 HP Target HP: 89/100 It shrieked. A sound like tearing fabric. The starry substance of its body rippled where I hit it. Solid marks.

Dark ichor floated in the zero-G air.

"It… bled?" Renn yelled. He lowered his bow.

"Box… it bled!" Torin stared.

"Impossible. My sword passed through it like smoke." Because I'm smoke too, I thought. Just denser. The Walker recovered. It wasn't happy. It raised both hands. The darkness around us swirled.

"ANOMALY… DETECTED… CORE… SIGNATURE…" It wasn't attacking the party anymore. It was attacking me. Three more Void Walkers emerged from the darkness behind it. Level 6. All focusing on me.

"Box!" Kara shouted.

"They're aggroed! Get back!" No, I thought. I'm the tank. I landed on the bridge. The Low Gravity made me bounce slightly. I stabilized my base. I had 25 SP. 20 MP. 25 HP. Four Walkers. Physical Immune. Magic Resistant. But vulnerable to me. Kara was charging a spell. Torin was positioning to defend me. But I was the only one who could deal damage. If I Slammed again… I'd run out of Stamina fast. If I used Magic… it might resist. If I used the Hammer… Fire might work, but I only have one shot before retrieving it.

The Walkers raised their hands. Spheres of deletion formed. Four of them. Aimed at me. Current Stats (Level 6 - Ironband Mimic): HP: 25/25 (Full) Mana: 20/20 (Full) Stamina: 25/30 (Slam Cost) Inventory: 2 Pebbles, Metal Items (Fused). Mage Staff (Loot). Guardian Hammer (Stored). Status: Core Resonance Active, Low Gravity, 4 Void Walkers Aggroed. What do you do? A) SPAM SLAM (BERSERK) Use Low Gravity to launch repeatedly. Slam each Walker. Burn Stamina for damage. (Cost: 5 SP per Slam. Gain: High Damage. Risk: Stamina Depletion, Vulnerable.) B) DEPLOY HAMMER (AOE) Release the Guardian Hammer. Spin it? No, drop it on the group. Fire might clear multiple. (Cost: 0 MP. Gain: AOE Damage. Risk: Hammer might get lost in Void.) C) TAUNT + HIDE (TACTICAL) Taunt them all. Then hide behind Torin's shield. Let them waste attacks on the party while you regen. (Cost: 3 MP. Gain: Aggro Control. Risk: Party Takes Damage.) D) EAT THE ICHOR (LOOT) The first Walker dropped loot (ichor). Eat it mid-fight. Gain Buff/HP.

Risky timing. (Cost: 2 SP. Gain: Buff. Risk: Interrupted by Attack.) VOTING CLOSES IN 24 HOURS. Reply with A, B, C, or D. Most votes wins. [Author Note] Thanks for voting on Chapter 62! Option A (Slam) worked! Your Core Resonance bypassed the Physical Immunity! You are now the primary DPS for Floor 7!
