– Volume 5, Episode 5
, 105. 21st. Crazy spirits (1)
Taesan opened a community as he descended. Quite a long time had passed since he entered Beguesetta. It was time for other Alone mode players to change something.
[Kang Tae-san [Alone]: Are you alive?]
[Lee Tae-yeon [Alone]: Huh?]
[Kang Jun-hyeok [Alone]: What is it? I thought he died because he didn’t say anything.]
[Kang Tae-san [Alone]: I was somewhere for a while. So how is it?]
As expected by Taesan, Kang Junhyeok and Lee Taeyeon were coming down quickly.
[Kang Tae-san [Alone]: Have you reached the 6th floor?]
[Lee Tae-yeon [Alone]: Yes. I’m dealing with Lizard Man right now. The swamp area is annoying, but it’s manageable.]
Lee Tae-yeon calmly posted. It seemed that he had matured even more after passing through the ordeal of Baltazar.
[Kang Tae-san [Alone]: Come down quickly. I have something else to tell you on the 8th floor.]
On the 8th floor, the god of trials. There is arrogance. The risk was very small because he could give up his ordeal himself. It was an ordeal worth talking about.
[Lee Tae-yeon [Alone]: Yep. thank you. Mr. Tae San.]
After that, we talked about miscellaneous things. Lee Tae-yeon and Kang Jun-hyuk asked Tae-san a lot of questions. As he was a person who had gone deeper than them, he seemed to be curious about information from the lower floors.
Taesan answered various things. Naturally, stories about other players also came out.
[Kang Tae-san [Alone]: Now, there are some people who have cleared the second floor.]
[Lee Tae-yeon [Alone]: Yes. …
There are many dead people.]
Clear the 2nd floor. It was very fast and a large number compared to before. However, it was still far from clear. No matter how hard I tried, the 20th floor would be my limit. It was virtually impossible to descend to the end of the labyrinth.
Unless a special method was found, they could not return to Earth except for forced return.
[Kang Tae-san [Alone]: Good job.]
Tae-san turned off the community and arrived on the 20th floor.
There was a release in the safety zone there.
“uh? were you alive I thought he was dead because I didn’t see him for several days.”
“I had somewhere to go.”
“phew. thank god. don’t die already There is still a lot to do.”
Lilith smiled and waved her hand.
“See you later!”
Taesan left her greeting and
headed to the boss room on the 20th floor.
There is a guide to the sin he saved. There was Gargorat.
“…you’re here.”
“okay.”
Taesan nodded. Gargorat swallowed.
“Now… are you going down?”
“I have to go down.”
The reason they entered the labyrinth was to attack. Gagorat smiled bitterly and said.
“Then I have something to tell you.”
“Are you talking about the guides of sin on the 21st floor?”
“yes.”
Taishan caught the sinful guides and agreed not to transmit Taishan’s information to them.
But that’s an adventurer up to the 20th floor. It was an agreement received only from second-tier adventurers. His next destination is the 21st floor. They were third-tier adventurers.
“The third-tier adventurers probably think of Taesan-nim as strong but dead. So, if Taesan-nim meets them, it will be difficult.”
The person you thought was dead appeared without dying. The third-tier adventurers who noticed that the second-tier adventurers lied, immediately reported the fact to the leadership.
Then that’s it. There is no way to defeat the leadership that has descended to the depths.
So, Gargorat was thinking of telling him how to avoid the adventurers.
“doesn’t care.”
However, Taesan did not listen to Gagorat. Confused, Gagorath hurriedly clung to it.
“Are you thinking of killing them all
? That’s not okay. When the Guide of Sins dies, the information is passed on to the Headquarters unconditionally. Then they will come down.”
can’t even meet don’t even kill
“Above all, even Taesan-sama, third-rank adventurers… are not weak.”
Jagan died at Taesan’s hand, but it wasn’t because he was weak. It was largely because he looked down on Taesan and was careless. Mount Tae was also dangerous enough if the majority rushed at the 3rd level.
“Avoidance is the correct answer.”
“I know, but I have no intention of avoiding it.”
avoid adventurers. It’s not impossible. Unlike the 2nd tier, they do not need to find new adventurers, so they will be gathered in one place. In other words, it was just a matter of how to get there.
But sneaking past was the same as saying you had to give up the reward. Taesan had no intention of suffering unnecessary damage.
Gagorat tried to stop it somehow with an urgent face. When Taesan goes on a rampage, it is also known that he conveyed lies
. Then he too was dead.
When he tried to persuade me somehow, Tae-san said.
“I have the means for that.”
“Sudan…?”
“okay. So stay still. Don’t try to disturb me.”
After warning, Taesan goes down to the 21st floor.
[This is the place beyond the entrance of the labyrinth.] [
There are things that do not die even when stabbed with a sword and do not fall down even when magic is used.
This is a space where darkness and light are mixed.]
[Starting the 21st floor quest.]
[Defeat the boss on the 21st floor and pass.]
[Reward: Spirit Orb]
[Secret reward: ???]
21st floor. A place that adventurers call the third tier.
It was a floor that could be considered to have left the lower floor now, and Taishan knew what was emerging here.
Taesan broke through the labyrinth. When I opened the room, I could feel the heat.
[A low-class flame spirit of the Labyrinth has appeared.]
There was a sphere of flame that shook in the air. Taesan raised his sword.
government ordinance.
Lee Tae-yeon said they would appear. If you go downstairs, you’ll come across things like the King of Spirits, but that was a later story.
As Taesan recalled the words she said one by one, the spirit recognized Taesan.
The spirit’s body swelled up and before long, flame beads were fired like a shotgun.
Taishan spurred the ground and flew through the air. As it was, through an air leap, he rushed to the spirit and struck down his sword.
However, the damage window did not open
. The split spirits merged into one again.
‘ also.’
It was just as I had heard from Lee Tae-yeon. Taesan didn’t panic and widened the distance.
Lee Tae-yeon said that spirits are not affected by physical attacks. I tried all kinds of methods, but they said it didn’t work, so I had to solve it by other means.
Taesan swung the sword a few more times after that, but it didn’t work. The skill was also used, but it was the same.
Like Lee Tae-yeon said, physical attacks didn’t seem to work at all.
‘Then what about this?’
A blue light rose from Taishan’s sword.
The power obtained from Beguesetta. Cut the spirit in half with the sword containing the aura.
paper weave.
The spirit’s appearance distorted for a moment, but eventually returned to normal.
‘This doesn’t work either.’
Taesan widened the distance and activated Frost Arrow and Fireball. Flame and ice
pierced the flame spirit.
It didn’t work either. The spirit floated like the first time.
‘It’s as described.’
When entering the 21st floor, it was written that you would not collapse even if you used magic. I just used it because it was easier to understand if I checked it myself.
There was a different way to deal with the spirits. And Taesan knew how to do it.
I was thinking of trying something I had before.
‘I don’t know how to use divine power, but
what about this?’
[You activated Marcosias’ fake flame.]
Taesan activated black magic without much expectation. Magic didn’t work, so there was no reason to call it black magic.
A substance in the form of flames poured down on the spirit.
[106 damage to the lower class flame spirits in the labyrinth.]
Woo woo woo!
The spirit trembled as if in pain.
Taesan was surprised by the damage window.
“Does it take damage?”
[It’s simple.]
The ghost answered Taesan’s question.
[Spirits are the life force of nature. That’s why attacks from nature don’t work. Even auras don’t work because they were given to the world by God after all. But hump magic is magic that originates from the devil.]
“Does it take damage because it is not natural?”
[It’s a bit more complicated, but
that’s the basic concept. That’s why I heard that demons go down the 3rd ranks more easily.]
The conclusion was that the magic could defeat the spirits. Taesan used black magic again. This time, I used up all of my magical energy.
[You activated Marcosias’ fake flame.]
The flame erupted. The spirit tried to avoid it, but it couldn’t avoid the fake flames that swept the entire room.
Woo woo woo!
[302
damage to the lower flame spirit of the labyrinth.]
[You won against the lower flame spirit of the labyrinth.]
[Obtained the core of the spirit.]
“Enough.”
It was an unexpected victory.
Taesan quickly began to assess the situation.
“Still, I can’t even use it.”
The current holding magic was too low. I only managed to defeat one of them using all of my Magi, so
I couldn’t go down the labyrinth with this.
‘I have to move according to the information.’
Taesan broke through the rooms of the labyrinth. Flame spirits appeared in the middle, but I ignored them all and broke through. Because of the difference in basic stats, I was able to pass without problems.
Taishan was able to reach the outer room before long.
[I know it well. I don’t even have to tell you. This is the way to attack the 21st floor.]
The ghost wasn’t even surprised as if it was familiar now.
Spirits do not work through physical force or magical power. I was able to defeat Taesan because he had black magic, but it was more of an expedient.
So, there was another way.
Taesan opened the outer gate. A mad laugh was heard.
[Hi-Hi! Hehehe! Hee hee!]
The white spirit was spinning in the middle of the room. It was a cute impression with a design like a simplified character, but a mad laugh in contrast came out.
[Hi-Hi! It’s a guest! Goodbye!]
[You have encountered a spirit that has gone mad
.]
[Goodbye! Nice to meet you!]
the white spirit shouted with a mad laugh. Taesan calmly opened his mouth.
“I want to go down the labyrinth.”
[Go down?]
The spirit tilted its head. It was a face that did not properly understand Taesan’s words.
“I want to defeat the spirits for that.”
[government ordinance? Defeat it?]
In an instant, thick hatred passed through the spirit’s eyes.
[Take them down! Take down the ones who abandoned me! Kill those guys who said I’m not normal and take them away!]
The white spirit screamed. shouted with a face full of madness and hatred.
[This guy hasn’t changed.]
The ghost clicked his tongue. He seemed to have met the White Spirit before.
The mad white spirit waved its hand.
[Five to the front, third to the left! There’s a hidden room there! There is a golem made by the king who abandoned me! Avoid it and bring the hidden nuke! Then I will give you strength!]
[Starting a sub-quest.]
[The crazy spirit hates everything that made it this way. The spirit wants you to fetch the spring of nature guarded by the golem.]
[Reward: A skill that can attack the spirit.]
Level up with skill.
