[Lee Tae-yeon [Alone]: Uh well. So if you take off all your armor and get attacked you shouldn’t take that damage?]
[Kang Tae-san [Alone]: Did you understand?]
[Lee Tae-yeon [Alone]: … … what kind of crazy is that? Doesn’t it make more sense than to hold on?]
[Kang Jun-hyeok [Alone]: How did you know that kind of skill?
Isn’t that more interesting?]
“Kareuk.”
Taesan waited quietly with his arms crossed. Lizardmen do not panic.
“It’s annoying.”
I don’t have a provocation skill so until I attack
have to wait Taishan stood quietly. The ghost muttered in a cryptic voice.
[Are you trying to acquire this skill?]
“Did you do something similar?”
Taesan once showed me how to get a forced duel. But his ghost said he still doesn’t know.
[No but I really don’t know about this. Any reason to take off the armor? And in this state you have to be attacked?]
Even the ghosts who have gone deep
It was a story I heard.
[Is there a skill that can be gained by doing this? i haven’t heard It’s a forced duel so it’s plausible but what is this?]
“Because there is keep an eye on it.”
Taesan stared blankly at the Lizardman. Lizardman grabbed the spear with a determined face.
“Cak!”
Kicking off his feet he stabs them toward Mount Tai.
Taesan looks at the tip of the spear. It’s fast but you can see everything. Taesan’s arm
Stretch and tense the muscles of the whole body.
Skills cannot be used. You have to respond with pure body movements.
The spear touches Taesan’s arm. Dig into the end of the skin.
The moment he felt the pain Taesan removed his arm.
The Lizardman did not stop and pushed the spear further. Pressing down on his flesh he tries to cut his forearm.
Take your body to the limit.
move the body in the direction of the force
It unfolds at a distance where your breath can reach
dodge all attacks
If there is even the slightest mistake it will become a skewer but only a small solid line will form on Taesan’s body. No major damage occurs.
Soon after the damage window pops up.
[20 damage to you.]
While taking off the armor a blow that would have dealt 50 damage only dealt 20 damage.
Shedding is a skill that forcibly deflects hits not a skill that forcibly reduces damage. The difference in damage between being possessed and getting hit properly is obvious
exist.
At the same time a system window pops up.
[You only take half damage. You have obtained the special activation skill [Sturdy].]
The skill that Taesan wanted appears along with Gohan.
[Your health did not decrease in the first attack. Acquired a special always-on skill [Absolutely nullify the first attack].]
[uh?]
“Cock!”
Lizardman stabs his spear with the ghost’s panicked sound. Taesan looked at him calmly. This time he didn’t even try to avoid it.
It was the moment when the spear touched Mount Tai.
[Your first attack Absolute Nullification has been activated.]
attack is erased.
The power carried by the spear disappears. Lizardman’s body returns to its state just before stabbing the spear.
The ghost is astonished at the sight of time going back.
[for a moment. what.]
“Cak caak?”
The Lizardman looked at my window while hesitating in embarrassment. He apparently stabbed the spear but it came right back. It was as if the act of attack itself had been erased.
got the skill
Taesan took out his sword and swung it. The bruised Lizardman was cut down and fell down.
“Kaaaa… …
[You imagine a lizardman with a spear.
I won as it is.]
His skill that he used until the very end. Absolutely nullify attacks.
I got it much quicker than I thought. Taesan murmured contentedly.
“I should thank Rakiratas.”
[…] … The first attack is absolutely nullified.]
The ghost realizing the meaning belatedly laughs in vain.
[A really crazy skill.]
[Special always-on skill: Absolute nullification of the first attack]
[Nullifies the opponent’s first attack. This skill can only be used once per battle against the same opponent.]
It was very simple. It did not exist because proficiency was meaningless as it was judged absolute.
Absolute invalid.
Literally whatever the opponent’s attack was it literally wiped out the first one.
[What kind of skills do you have? The forced duel was also funny but this one is even funnier.]
The ghost was a voice full of wonder. It was actually a decent performance.
Usually there are many people who want to put an end to the first attack regardless of monsters and players. He used his skills and his own power sparingly.
You can completely erase that attack.
As much as making it into nothing
The opponent is unable to respond. It was safe to say that it was a kind of reality change that could force them to gain an upper hand.
In addition it is not a skill that activates like possessed but a skill that activates constantly. If the opponent does not know in advance the existence of absolute nullification it is impossible to attack.
But the ghost was more startled than that.
[How on earth do you know these skills?]
Taesan answered calmly.
“Because I tried.”
Information does not exist in skills. Very basic skills such as securing sight or foresight he did not know but in the case of upper-level skills no one said that information. There is no easy-going person in the labyrinth who solves what he has worked hard for free.
Eventually they have to find the skill themselves.
know one thing A skill is something you get when you bring out the effect at least similarly.
For example when fighting only one enemy when facing many.
For example when blocking countless lethal damage without breaking.
For example when taking no damage from an attack that would take damage.
Skills can be acquired in such situations.
It is the concept of prediction. This is the realm of possibility. No one knows if there is a skill to be gained by doing so. If you do it wrong you could die or be in danger.
It usually stops in the realm of imagination.
However Taesan tried it himself.
Countless Tries. and error.
copy. Plus. Simple time stop. absolute judgment.
All of these were obtained that way.
“The difficulty level is damn right.”
Skills with overwhelming performance can usually be obtained by going through contradictions.
Absolute nullification of attacks was one of them.
I had to pass the contradiction that I should not receive damage even though I was receiving damage.
The ghost possessed a laugh.
[If you didn’t have this shield you would never have gotten it right?]
“You must have had a hard time.”
In fact in my previous life I had gone through high school. If the difference in rank with the opponent exceeds a certain level the skill cannot be obtained.
After checking hundreds of times to see how close the line was and trying thousands of times I was finally able to get it.
So in this life I thought I would get it only later in life after acquiring this or that skill but thanks to Rakiratas I was able to shorten it a lot.
The shield is not a judgment of physical strength. When you get absolute nullification for the first attack the judgment that your health has not decreased appears.
It was Taesan’s judgment that it could be obtained without difficulty as long as there was a protective shield and it was the correct answer.
As much as forcibly reducing the opponent’s damage I was able to naturally acquire durability.
[Special Activation Skill: Hardiness]
[Mana consumed: 15]
[The next target’s attack damage is halved.]
Likewise there was no proficiency because it was a fixed judgment. Although it consumed a lot of mana it was a good skill that hard mode players couldn’t easily obtain as it reduced the absolute value of damage.
[scent. What did you do to get this? Are you going down now?]
no. Not yet.”
[What more do you have?]
“This is absolutely nullifying the first attack.”
The second attack absolute nullification also exists.
Taesan took out the self-inflicted blade and stabbed himself.
[Use of self-inflicted blade. Your protective shield has been restored.]
also.
The shield is not a stamina test when hit but a stamina test when recovering. It was a convenient decision in many ways.
The shield is 35 again. Realizing Tae San’s words the ghost spoke tremblingly.
[I know what that means. This is a really crazy skill. But is that possible? Didn’t you take 20 damage?]
The shield possessed damage to the limit of 35 but received 20 damage. It is impossible to block two attacks.
“So this is it.”
Taesan took out the Blessing Powder from his inventory.
[Blessing Powder]
[Powder said to come from fairy wings. It is rumored to give blessings to users.]
An item that neither ghosts nor dwarves knew of.
The effect is the fixation of minute probabilities.
Taishan sprinkled three blessing powders all over himself.
And let’s go to the next room
I met Deman.
“Kaak!”
Lizardman stabs the window with crying.
The first attack is erased with absolute nullification.
Embarrassed Lizardman stabbed the spear again.
It’s real from here.
Just like before Taesan moves her body to the limit and avoids it.
A solid line is drawn on Taesan’s body and a damage window pops up.
[17 damage to you.]
[uh?]
The ghost is surprised by the significantly reduced damage compared to before.
[Could it be the powder of blessing?]
There are several decisions for an attack.
Hit Judgment.
avoidance decision.
defense judgment.
There are many others but these three are the most basic.
Among them there was also a random judgment.
When taking damage the 10% rate was applied completely randomly.
In the case of 30 attacks 27 to 33 of them depend on pure systemic luck.
The theory was that it could not be controlled.
However the powder of blessing is a fine adjustment of probability.
It also includes random decisions.
If you use three or more
The random decision made sure to hit the lowest damage.
This information was only discovered by Taesan after more than half of the people had escaped the labyrinth.
Evade the second attack.
[18 damage to you.]
[Your health did not decrease in the second attack. Acquired a special always-on skill [Second Attack Absolute Nullification].]
got it Taesan took care of the Lizardman. The ghost burst out laughing as if it were full of spirits.
[Is it really ‘obtained in a different way’?]
[Special always-on skill: Absolutely nullify the second attack]
[Nullifies the opponent’s second attack. This skill can only be used once per battle against the same opponent.]
Full immunity until the second attack. As long as you have this skill you can win against any opponent of the same class. Absolute Nullification was also a main skill just like Endurance and Forced Duel.
[The skill itself is amazing but the way to obtain it is also amazing. How did you know that Blessing Powder has the effect of reducing damage?]
“Many challenges and experiments.”
[Huh true.]
The ghost possessed a laugh.
[okay. I said second. It’s worth it. Even considering it it’s funny.]
He seemed to be slowly guessing. If I had come this far I wouldn’t have known. If you’re that stupid you can’t go down to the depths.
As it was expected Taesan shed his tears.
‘I’ve already gotten to the second.’
Only 6 floors. I didn’t use any shortcuts except for the shield.
Taishan got up to absolute nullification of the second attack in the previous world.
After countless expedients and countless challenges even that was quite a stroke of luck.
Even if you do it again you will only get the second time.
But now Taesan has a protective shield.
Level up with skill
