_ Volume 4, Episode 12
87. The ruined world of Hafran (2)
“Can I take all of those roots?”
[You can cut it and take it. It’s big, but there’s no problem because there’s an inventory.]
Taesan got into his stance. At the same time, the forest began to move with a loud noise.
Wow!
The earth collapsed and roots sprouted. The surrounding trees swayed and
struck Mount Tai.
Taesan kicked his feet. Trampling on the roots, leaping through the air, and landed randomly on top.
Hard!
Randomly swayed to and fro, and the branches began to bend in curved shapes. Like a slingshot pulled to its limit, it struck with a gong sound.
Let’s do it!
Taesan spurred his foot again, widening the distance. The air that collided with the branches spread out of the forest with a tearing sound.
strong. It is so powerful that it bruises the moment it is hit. Taishan lands a little further away.
[You activated an apnea attack.]
Koo-gu-goo!
Other trees did not stand still either. Each of them tries to entangle Mount Tai by moving their branches and roots.
[You activated a backlash.]
A skill that spreads intangible power to the surroundings. repulsion.
However, the roots only slightly faltered, but
did not stop their momentum and aimed for Taesan.
Taesan, realizing that the backlash wasn’t very effective, changed his approach. I raised my sword and concentrated all my mind.
[You activate Mental Acceleration.]
The world’s time slows down.
I kick the root aiming with my left foot. I move my hand, avoiding the tree branch that is trying to pierce my head. Roots and twigs rushing to grab both arms fall in pieces.
The ground collapsed and the footing was in an unstable state, but Taesan had a forced action.
It is a skill that allows you to move to some extent in situations where your actions are hindered, and it is a skill that is effective in a situation where the footing has collapsed.
slash and slash and slash As if he couldn’t stand it, a whole tree came to crush Taesan, but he moved his sword roughly and cut it into pieces.
In the middle of the battle, Taesan was calmly examining everything around him.
‘Is there… no gray aura?’
It didn’t look different from the cliff, whether it hadn’t been discovered yet or it was invisible.
‘It must be hidden in a tree.’
In any case, the goal is to cut down random people. Taesan, who shook off all the attacks on himself, ran towards the random.
Random branches pulled taut again and exploded.
Whoa!
A tingling sound hits Taesan. Taesan frowns and withdraws.
It was a push decision, not an attack decision, so it was too difficult to approach because the attack was not invalidated.
then change the way Forces the opponent to physically attack.
Taesan changed the target of the attack and headed for the surrounding trees.
Trees tried to push Mount Tai with their roots and branches, but such a small attack could not stop Mount Tai. In an instant, trees begin to fall to pieces.
Whoa!
Random people hit the air and tried to chase it away, but it wasn’t from the front, and at a certain distance, Taesan was able to withstand it enough.
Trees are cut down in an instant. Because it is a small forest, the trees are noticeably disappearing.
‘How are you going to come out?’
It won’t simply act on orders. Seeing as the cliff suddenly intensified its attack as Taishan approached, it is highly likely that he had his own will.
And Taesan’s prediction was correct.
After that, the random man pulled a branch and struck the air, but Taesan cut down the trees without any discomfort. After striking the air a few more times,
it started moving with a loud sound.
Random twigs coalesced into one huge thorn and stabbed Mount Tai.
Taesan quickly turned around and blocked it with his sword, but he couldn’t stand the force and was pushed back.
Realizing that his attack was successful, the random man continued to collect branches and began to attack.
That was what Taesan wanted.
Koo Woo-wook. The moment
the branches came together and fired again,
Taesan kicked. I ran towards the shooting branches.
[Your first attack, Absolute Nullification has been activated.]
The branches returned to their pre-shot state. Magujab was so flustered that even Taesan could tell. I quickly recovered my embarrassment and fired again, but only the same result was repeated.
[Your second attack, absolute nullification has been activated.]
Taesan drew his sword. The random was cut in half and collapsed.
[Your spirit level has been activated.
???’s proficiency increased by 1%.]
“You were also inside.”
At the same time as Mamujabi fell, the movement of the trees also stopped. Taishan put this random root into your inventory.
“It is not difficult.”
[I told you. If it’s your level, there’s nothing too difficult. I think it would be better to go back sooner than that.]
“It seems like that.”
Taesan looked up at the sky.
From the standpoint of the stars, an existence of the size of Mount Tai
must be a very small and weak being. So I wouldn’t have cared too much.
You can tell just by looking at a sandstorm or a cliff. I aimed for Taesan, which appeared naturally, but there was no dark intent to kill.
But not now.
In the gray space, murderous intent was evidently directed at Mount Tai.
Koo-goo-goo-goo…
A huge sound resounds from the world itself. Overwhelming sensations begin to overwhelm Taesan.
You can know for sure.
If he does more here, he will die here.
“See you next time.”
Taesan waved his hand. I put my body towards the cracked space.
Just like when I came in, I was able to return to the familiar labyrinth after a while.
“Are you here?”
Hafran welcomed Mount Tai. Taesan opened his inventory.
[Complete the sub-quest]
[Roots of Randomness]
[Things of a destroyed world. Nothing is done singly. It seems to grow if planted in the right environment.]
Taesan handed over the random roots to Harpran. Hafran received it with longing eyes.
“Looks like normal roots to me
.”
“It will be for you. Are you not a resident of those three worlds? But it’s different for me. … It’s been a long time since I’ve been able to make something fun.”
Halfran, who was looking at the root with wavering eyes, said.
“Then what do you want?”
“What can I do on the other hand?”
“It can be made in any part that can be worn.”
It was just something to say.
Taesan is in trouble.
I don’t know what level it will be made, but it must be a pretty good piece of equipment. If so, you will be wearing it for a long time. In other words, there was a possibility that he would not be able to use it at all when he got some equipment later.
It wasn’t a loss, but it felt like a loss.
‘I had a similar experience in the previous world.’
If you select a piece of equipment as a quest in the game, but the next dungeon drops a good piece of equipment.
I had such experiences quite often, so I felt an instinctive rejection.
Taesan pondered and came to a conclusion.
“Is it possible to mix with the weapon you have?”
“possible.”
Taesan asked in surprise.
” really?”
“Of course it is possible. If you can’t do that, you can’t write the blacksmith’s name.”
Hafran said calmly. I felt like I was benefiting from Taesan, who asked without high expectations.
If so, it was one.
“Do you mind?”
[I do not care. it’s yours You can do whatever you want.]
I got permission from the ghost. Taesan pulled out his sword.
“Then mix it with this.”
[Carvert’s Relic: A sword steeped in the blood of ancestors]
[A relic of a world that has now been destroyed. It took the lives of countless members of the royal family.]
[Attack power + 2
[Attack power + 10 when dealing with enemies of noble lineage]
Carvert’s sword. It was the sword the ghost gave as a reward for clearing the quest. There was nothing to change for the time being, so I was thinking of using this sword.
Having received the sword, Hafran gave the ghost a strange look.
“Are you okay?”
[are you okay. Do as you please.]
“If you do…
Hafran nodded.
“I will.”
“Should I leave the weapon?”
“There is no need for that. You can use the root to create it here and combine it later. You may have it.”
“How long will it take?”
“About… it will take two days.”
Two days. If it was long, it was long and if it was short, it was a short time.
“Then come in two days.”
“Come calmly.”
Hafran
sent me off with a happy face, touching the roots.
[What should I do?]
“Go down as far as you can go because there is still time.”
In two days, I went down to the 20th floor and there was still more.
Taesan went down to the 17th floor.
The 17th floor was Dullahan. I remember saying that Lee Tae-yeon almost died here as a knight without a head.
‘Thinking about it.’
From memory,
not a single layer said she was near death. I told you that there is a risk of dying on each floor.
I go down the floor, searching for small memories. Dyurahan is obviously a strong monster, but as always, it has no meaning. Clear the secret room without difficulty and clear the boss room.
The reward is an earring. Armor. it was a shield
The shield was meaningless because it was unused equipment, but the earrings and armor were quite useful.
[Earrings of Blood Fog]
[Agility + 10]
[Defense + 5]
[Earrings abandoned in the bloody mist. No one knows who the owner is.]
A dirty man’s earrings. Remove the 10 mana earring. Because of his high intelligence and high magic proficiency, there was no shortage of mana, so it wasn’t worth it.
[Leather armor ate lava dew]
[Defense +2]
[Probability of succeeding in burn judgment slightly increases.]
[Armor dipped in dew that forms under the lava. It has resistance to fire.]
Similarly, it is better than the armor I was wearing before, so I changed it.
After finishing the 17th floor, head to the 18th floor. Meet the dwarves, sell the equipment you don’t need, and go down.
“bye.”
The Dwarf said calmly. Even though he knew that Taesan had met the blacksmith, he didn’t say anything. They didn’t seem to get along well.
The 18th floor was similar to the 3rd floor. Several Skeleton Mages and Skeleton Knights were in one place. Of course, Taesan was dealt with without any influence and came down.
What I got was a stick. shield. It was a ring.
[Super Ring]
[Attack + 5]
[Defense + 5]
[Strength + 5]
[Super-Ring]
“What is this?”
[…Well?]
The explanation was vague, but the effect itself was good. Removed the ring of 5 mana and wore it.
The level of experience that did not rise because of the high level passed through the floor this far, and it barely rose to level 42.
[Gangtaesan]
[Level: 42]
[Shield: 183/183]
[Health: 2160/216
] [Mana: 475/475]
[Strength: 677]
[Intelligence: 459]
[Agility: 597]
[Attack +79]
[Defense + 93]
[The target is in excellent condition.]
The Hongyoung Ring increases Strength, Intelligence and Agility by 3%. Thanks to this, Strength rose by 20, Intelligence by 13, and Agility by 17. It was a satisfying rise.
19th floor.
From this point on, the elevation of the spirit began to activate, albeit very slightly. It meant that the level had gradually risen to a similar level.
The monster on the 19th floor is a lich. It was a bit tricky as a monster that uses various magics, but through its superiority in stats, it quickly trampled down. Unfortunately
, it was a normal monster or the magic of the dead was completely different, so I couldn’t acquire magic.
And finally found the altar of God.
[You have found the Altar of Lucifer.]
Level up with skill.
