– Volume 5, Episode 6,

106. 21st. Crazy Spirit (2)

[Come on! I’ll wait for you!]

Taesan leaves the room while being escorted by the spirit.

“Is that just something like that?”

Unlike the other NPCs he had seen so far, he was completely insane. Lee Tae-yeon also said that the spirit she saw was just crazy, and it seemed the same when the ghost saw it in the past.

[That hasn’t changed even when I was there. that

‘s crazy Its role is to teach you how to deal with the spirits on the 21st floor. That’s it. Once the quest is over, you’ll never see it again.]

Lee Taeyeon was no different. She, too, did not see the spirit who had gone mad again after seeking only the law against the spirit.

‘But is it really?’

NPCs are beings that traded with wizards. It meant that the spirit also came here because it wanted something.

I didn’t know yet.

Taesan

moved straight ahead to the fifth room as the spirit said. Then it moved three times to the left.

There was an empty room, the only bricks on the walls of which were not covered with moss.

From the 21st floor, all the walls were filled with green plants as if this place were nature.

That is the room the spirit spoke of.

drooling.

Pressing the bricks opened the passage. Taesan went down the stairs.

Whoops…

the floor rang. Taesan activated invisibility and killed the sound of footsteps.

At the end of the stairs, I saw a secret room, and there was a huge golem made of stone.

[An ember golem created by the flame spirit king has appeared.]

Ugh.

Behind it was a small fountain of green light. The golem rolled its red eyes here and there as if guarding a spring.

‘It’s strong.’

I felt great power from the golem

. The power to set the whole world on fire. Perhaps that was the power given by the Spirit King. He would only have that piece, but his strength was unchanged.

The 21st floor players were far beyond the level of opponents. Taesan climbed the stairs and asked the ghost.

“How have you been?”

[me? I just ignored it and passed on it. The golem stops working for just one minute of the day. Then, if you quickly fill up the spring, it will be over.]

It was a sure solution. Lee Tae-yeon probably also poured springs like that.

It was kind of the right answer.

However, Taesan had no intention of making that choice.

“Is it possible?”

[It’s not impossible… but it’s quite dangerous, right?]

“Then it’s the right answer.”

The reward of the labyrinth drops to a virtually non-existent level the moment you go down the floor. If you go down and get stronger and then come back up, you won’t be rewarded properly.

Taesan took off the invisibility and went down the stairs. The golem’s eyes shone

as it discovered the mountain .

Whoops.

A huge arm moved. Pressing down on the air, I leap my arm to evade the shot and slash my sword.

Kagang [0

damage

to the Ember Golem created by the Flame Spirit King.]

Taesan grumbled and distanced himself. Golems had a nucleus, so penetrating it was the standard way to respond.

“Since the golem was created by a spirit, is the core also a spirit’s?”

[Probably so?]

In the quest to obtain skills to deal with spirits, it was an enemy that could not be dealt with without skills to deal with spirits.

[Did I just pass by? There was no relativity at all. You are a little different.]

A blue aura appeared on Taesan’s sword.

The aura struck the golem’s arm. A small mark appeared on the arm.

[47 damage to the ember golem created by the flame spirit king.]

“As expected.”

Aura has a defense penetration effect. Taesan began to slowly gnaw at the golem.

The golem pulled its arm and swung it. Arms swept wildly across the room with the sound of air bursting.

[Your first attack, Absolute Nullification has been activated.]

Taesan clearly evaded the golem’s attack.

It meant that only the wind pressure created in the aftermath made an attack decision.

‘If I’m right, I’ll go to the real goal.’

The golem pulled its arm again and swung it. The trajectory was not significantly different from the previous one.

The golem was obviously strong and hard, but basically it was a block of rock. The movement was not natural, so the trajectory and pattern of the attack were set to some extent.

Taesan dodged a few times and figured out the pattern of every attack. And ran right away.

The kagak

swords collided and the stone fragments that made up the golem bounced. The golem’s arms were raised.

When I took that action, a downward attack came out. Taesan, who had noticed from his experience so far, moved ahead of time and slapped his side.

The golem pulled his arm this time. a straight stab Taesan dug in below.

It looks at the movement and determines in advance what kind of attack will come out and moves. The ghost who was watching burst into admiration.

Know your strategies and know how to respond. and repeat it

The words were easy. But actually putting it into practice was a different story. It was very common for those who knew perfectly well to be shaken to death by a very small variable.

Attacking is, after all, repetition, and repetition eats away at the spirit. The mind easily breaks down in the midst of repeated labor for hundreds or thousands of days.

Rather, there were frequent cases where they collapsed because they knew. It wasn’t uncommon

to show a rather clumsy appearance in the second challenge, where you progressed well in the first challenge you didn’t know anything about.

However, Taesan repeated avoiding and attacking like a machine. And there was no distraction in the action.

[It’s like watching a machine race.]

An admiring self-talk rang out. Tae San didn’t hear that. Concentrating his mind, he continued attacking the golem.

Two hours passed and Taesan

took down the golem without allowing a single effective hit.

[Your level has risen.]

[Your level has risen.]

[Your level has risen.]

[Your spirit level has been raised. Permanently increased strength by 34, agility by 22, and physical strength by 102.]

[Acquired 1861G.]

[Acquired the fragment of the King of Spirits.]

[Acquired the ore that protects the core.]

[You messed up simple repetitive tasks. I did it without any burden and it worked out time and time again. [Perseverance],

a special always-on skill, has been obtained.]

[Perception proficiency has reached 100%. Seeing has evolved with the special activation skill [Reconnaissance].]

The corners of Taesan’s mouth went up.

I finally got the patience. And detection also evolved into reconnaissance.

Both were essential skills for Taesan’s plan.

[Special always-on skill: Perseverance]

[Proficiency level: 1%]

[Efficiency increases with repetitive tasks.]

Very simple simple explanation.

The effect was simple. Literally, I got bonuses for things like that when doing iterations. If you repeatedly swing the sword, your proficiency is accelerated, and if you

repeatedly mine ore, the speed of mining increases.

If you look at it up to here, it’s not that great, but it’s a good level skill.

However, Taesan absolutely needed this skill.

‘I finally have everything I need.’

main skill. Nullify attacks, hold out, forced duels, and so on.

Skills that can overwhelm an opponent with the same stat even if you only have one. Among them

, there was a skill called Addition that doubled

the damage itself .

The double here was literal.

Attack power increased by counters Attack power increased by consecutive attacks Attack power increased by attacks on critical points.

All attack power is doubled.

Addition, used by hard players, adds half of base attack power. Compared to Addition, the level was much lower, but considering that there were only a few people who even had it, Addition was an incomparable skill.

And to get more, perseverance was absolutely necessary.

Now you have everything you need.

Of course, it was not immediately obtainable. In order to obtain the addition, special circumstances were required.

But it won’t take long.

Taesan enjoyed checking other skills as well.

[Special activation skill: Reconnaissance]

[Proficiency level: 1%]

[Evolution of foresight. You can get general information about the target.]

Taesan immediately looked at the ghost.

[You activated reconnaissance.]

I saw the ghost’s information.

[The Buried One]

[Status: Ghost]

[The one who entrusted the dream.]

A ghost and an unknown sentence under it

have been added.

The biggest change was the ability to adjust the activation of Catch Pa as it became a scout.

If you activate reconnaissance on the opponent or in the room, you can see the opponent’s information and identify hidden elements in the room.

It was a pretty good skill because it could detect traps in advance.

When used toward the opponent, rough information and weaknesses and strengths were also expressed, making it easy to find a way to respond.

[I also managed to get scouting beyond the 50th floor

, but it’s really fast.]

The ghost admired. Since he was a ghost who had descended into the labyrinth, he was well aware of the value of reconnaissance here.

[patience? That’s the first time I’ve seen that.]

In contrast, he didn’t show much reaction to persistence. It wasn’t even a skill to show a reaction. The only thing that exists is that efficiency increases in repetitive tasks. There wasn’t much of an advantage.

Your reaction will be different if you know you can get a plus.

Taesan confirmed the reward.

[Ore that protects the core]

[Special ore that protected the golem’s core. It can be smelted.]

I thought I could take this to the blacksmith. and the other one.

[Fragments of the Spirit King]

[Part of the power of the Spirit King. If it is a spirit, everyone will wish for it.]

The spirit wishes. Perhaps a spirit that has gone mad is no different.

Taesan drank some of the spring. Returned to the crazy spirit to complete the quest.

[You activated reconnaissance.]

[Crazed White Spirit]

[Status: Unstable]

[A child seeking perfection and longing for revenge.]

Information about the spirit appeared. The spirit welcomed him with a smile.

[I’m here! How did you do it!]

“Now.”

Taesan handed over the spring water. The spirit who received the fountain smiled brightly and opened its arms.

[it’s okay! With this, I can become perfect even a little bit!]

The white spirit raised its hand to the spring water. The spring water was absorbed into the spirit’s body.

Taesan

felt the inside of the spirit fill up. But it was really weak. It had risen to the point of dust, and it seemed that it would take hundreds of years to be full.

The spirit smiled and reached out to Taesan.

[good! I’ll give it to you!]

[You have cleared the Spirit Quest. [Spirit Strike], a special always activated skill, was acquired.]

Always activated skill. spirit strike. The effect wasn’t that great. It was just that from now on you could attack the spirits.

[thank you! Goodbye!]

The spirit shook her hand. As he said goodbye, Taesan opened his inventory.

“And I caught this.”

[Fragment of the Spirit King]

When Taesan took out the fragment, the spirit stopped. For the first time, the smile disappeared from the face that had never stopped laughing.

[…Have you caught the golem?]

Taesan nodded. The Spirit reached out with a trembling face.

[Now, give it to me for a moment.]

Taesan obediently handed it over. The spirit, who was absent-mindedly

fixing the fragments, burst into laughter.

[Hee hee hee! Hee hee!]

A maniacal laugh erupted. However, unlike before, it was tinged with a clear light.

[you! Okay!]

The spirit pressed its face toward Taesan.

[You are different from other guests! you are awesome! You can help me!]

The spirit danced.

Taesan watched silently.

[Will you help me? What a great guest?]

[Huh?]

The ghost stands out at the spirit’s words.

this made it clear

It wasn’t the ex-wife NPC who gave the crazy spirit a skill that allowed him to deal with the spirit.

There were other quests.

The condition is to hunt golems. Taesan nodded.

“I will.”

[Then, collect the cores! A core that allows me to become a complete spirit!

With that, I will become great!]

The quest window pops up with madness.

[Start of sub-quest] [

The crazy spirit wants to become greater

by relieving his instability.
