After fighting the clockworks for a bit, I eventually figure out a good way to deal with them. That being just attacking them from every direction and at a distance. Making sure to stay out of the range of their slowed ti myself so that it doesn't harm my reaction speed or attack speed. All while stopping them from even having a chance to escape using the slowed ti of my attacks to their advantage.
And once I figure all that out, I finish the rest of them off without much trouble. Leaving the outside of the tower on the island completely barren of monsters.
At which point I focus on the Skill Tree that the tiworn clockworks gave . Which all have the sa root skill across the board.
With that root skill being low grade ti mana manipulation.
So I have ti magic now. Albeit a minor version.
But when I try to use it, I find that ti magic is very difficult. Too difficult to learn in the span of the ti I'll be here.
After deciding to leave that for later to learn, I begin to walk around the island, just looking for anything I can use. Like keys or sothing for inside the tower.
Or just anything that might be of use out here. Since I don't really know much about the inside of the System Tower.
Even Chaos wouldn't tell about the exact specifics of each floor. And the information on it on the System Forums and the internet in general is censored. Making it so that no one can read it unless they've entered the System Tower before.
And I rember when playing gas with Blake the motto he used to always use.
When unsure, be overcautious.
And when I check under the island, beneath the water surrounding it, I find a large key. One around the size of my foot.
The thing is just sitting there on so pedestal within the stone beneath the island.
There we go.
After grabbing that and stuffing it in a storage ring, I move on to finish my search before surfacing again and entering the clocktower. Only to instantly find myself sowhere else the second I step foot inside.
On top of a large gear for so reason.
Like those gears inside of clocks. Not the armor type of gear that you wear.
When I look around myself, I find nurous other gears. With a few of them connected to the gear I'm on and various other gears connected to those. All of which are creating different paths.
But what's most bizarre about this is that there aren't any walls to the clocktower. It's like I'm in a separate dinsion entirely or sothing.
Instead of walls there's just an endless glowing orange light fading in the distance. With a single massive pillar going up and the occasional clockwork gear going around or connected to said pillar.
Huh. Not what I was expecting.
I continue looking around for a bit before noticing so tiworn clockworks appearing on the gears around . But I deal with them rather easily now that I know how.
You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version.
Then I just flap my wings and begin flying past the gears, only briefly wondering why they have it set up like this when you can just fly.
That thought is brief because the gears and the pillar all shoot out an orange energy at which begins to highlight my body for a few seconds before black and crimson sparks snap out of my body, shattering the highlight. And in the process letting continue flying.
Ah, that's why.
If I had to guess based on what I just saw and what that energy did to for a split second before Unchained stopped it, the clocktower stops people from flying by reversing ti on them and forcing them back to the ground that way. But Unchained stops that from happening to , thereby letting fly as much as I want here.
So I completely ignore the path as I fly straight up towards the pillar. With nurous monsters appearing across any gears I get close to.
And while they're at first all tiworn clockworks, they eventually end up branching out to different types of ti magic centered monsters. Like Tiworn Clockwork Soldiers. And Tiworn Clockwork Officers.
Which are all quite a bit stronger than the tiworn clockworks, as I can tell from their mana and potential skills alone.
Although they can't really do much against where I am right now. Seeing as I'm flying.
Unfortunately, I'm going for one hundred percenting this place. So I need to kill every single monster in the Domain.
That's Objective 2 after all.
After a brief pause though, an idea cos to mind.
Hmm…
I shrug and decide to go with the idea before turning on my Gaze of Destruction and focusing on the gears themselves. Just to find them taking damage from my gaze despite earlier attacks that missed targets and hit the gears not even blemishing them. Much less scratching them.
Looks like they're weak to true damage.
In which case, I go ahead and focus my gaze on the connecting points between the gears with monsters on them and those without.
And after destroying said connectors, I feel rather satisfied as I see the first gear I completely destroy the connectors of fall down into the glowing orange abyss below. Following which I get a ssage from the System about killing the monsters.
Nice!
{You have slain a being while Assimilate is active. You have now unlocked the Skill Tree: Tiworn Clockwork} x21
{You have unlocked a new Skill Tree, therefore the root skill of the Skill Tree, Low Grade Ti Mana Manipulation, is now unlocked for your usage.}
{You have slain a being while Assimilate is active. You have now unlocked the Skill Tree: Tiworn Clockwork Soldiers} x8
{You have unlocked a new Skill Tree, therefore the root skill of the Skill Tree, Healing Reversal Bullet, is now unlocked for your usage.}
{You have slain a being while Assimilate is active. You have now unlocked the Skill Tree: Tiworn Clockwork Officers.} x2
{You have unlocked a new Skill Tree, therefore the root skill of the Skill Tree, Mid-Stage Ti Mana Manipulation, is now unlocked for your usage.}
I got the mid-stage version now. So that'll help with learning ti magic later.
And I wouldn't be surprised if I managed to get the high stage version by the end of this Domain at the very least. So that's sothing to look forward to.
As for this Healing Reversal Bullet skill? Apparently it will reverse an amount of healing done to the target within the past period of ti depending on how much ti mana is used to power the skill.
It's an interesting skill to say the least, but not particularly useful unless I'm fighting against a healer. Or soone with a healer.
Or just with healing powers in general.
Anyway, after killing the batch on that gear, I go ahead and begin just destroying the connectors between the gears one after another. Sending nurous gears and the monsters on them falling down into the orange abyss.
All without a single sound being made by the monsters in question other than so rotating gear noises.
Seeing as these clockwork golem things don't have mouths.
And ti begins to pass like this as I continue to drop monsters into the abyss while slowly making my way up the tower on my wings. Never actually touching the gears again after first appearing here.
I really like Unchained.
It's a great skill.
Eventually I find the top of the pillar. Where the gears happen to lead. And at the center of the pillar is so sort of large gate.
The gate is clearly so sort of portal, and it is activated. But there's sothing that I can't help but notice. Sothing else on top of the pillar.
And that's the sight of so pedestal with a key hole in it.
So without hesitation, I fly over before landing in front of the pedestal as I bring the key out of my storage ring. Then I stick the key into the key hole and turn it.
Instantly making the portal behind change color from blue to orange.
I'm guessing this was probably the correct way to go about it?
After glancing back and for the between the key and the portal, and even taking the key out to see if it does anything, which it does not, I finally head through the orange portal.
Let's see what else this place has in store for .
