[If there are any, they must be the same apostles or the ones with the same rank. Or they’re just strong guys. Otherwise, it’s hard to give you proper damage.
]
The knowledge gained through the apostleization remained vaguely in my head.
The transcendent has risen to a high position, freed from all mortal restraints
.
And when they reach that level, they reach a level far higher than that of mortals, and their attacks are ineffective. The difference between the transcendent and the mortals was that even if thousands of mortals with great power gathered, they would perish at the slightest gesture.
An apostle who made a contract with such transcendental beings receives their power. Although it was deteriorated, the mortal’s attack did not work properly because it borrowed the rank of those who transcended.
[Originally, your level itself is low, so you wouldn’t have become that strong… but you’re unique.]
The ghost said calmly. Taesan clenched his fists.
“But it is not omnipotent.”
[There are no disadvantages, but there are not only advantages.]
The level of strength due to apostleization is roughly 30%. it wasn’t low It was clearly at a high level. Quite a few difficulties could be dealt with with this.
However, it was not at the level of overcoming an overwhelmingly upgraded enemy.
Although the damage was reduced due to the difference in rank, it did not mean much if it was just a difference in level or stats. There were more
hits and more defeats.
[Still, this is enough. What more do you want than this?]
“I know that.”
In fact, it didn’t even make sense that he had overcome the skeleton. Without Sadohwa, ninety out of a hundred would have been defeated.
In addition, if the level goes up, the amount of increase in stats will also increase, so it was a good skill in the long term. Wanting more than this was greed.
After completing a rough check, Taesan went down to the 25th floor and went to the blacksmith
.
“Can you check these two?”
“Give me.”
Taesan handed over the Abyssal Orb and the Blackened Seed. Hafran saw the Abyssal Orb and stroked his chin.
“Obsession… is it more like a curse? Can I use this for shoes?”
“What is the effect?”
“The ground you step on is cursed. Enemies who step on it suffer from all sorts of curses. Unless you’re a fairly strong guy, you’ll have a hard time.”
“like.”
not bad. It meant that you could restrict your opponent’s movements during battle.
“Then do it.”
“If you give me the shoes, I will make them for you soon. And this…
Hafran looked at the blackened seed with an ambiguous gaze.
“Where did you get it?”
“It is as described.”
“That’s true.”
Hafran laughed.
“King Spirit. Catch the guy who received that power? I don’t know.”
he held the seed
“This could be the material for the dragon’s claws you gave me. that’s fast I already have three of them.”
“How long do you think it will be?”
“One… two will suffice. I thought it would only be made on the 50th floor.”
Hafran muttered with a puzzled face.
two ahead. It wasn’t too far. If you wait a little longer, you can get an incomparable equipment.
Taesan handed over the shoes with high expectations.
“Then make this one.”
“I get it. I’ll make it for you when I come back after doing something to do for a while.”
Taesan left Hafran behind and climbed the labyrinth. When I went back to the 21st floor, there was a mad spirit with a gloomy expression waiting for me.
[Are you here?]
“Yes.”
Taishan handed over the blackened root. The spirit accepted it with shaking eyes.
[Really… you did it.]
The spirit tightly closed its eyes.
[Did you hear about me?]
“Roughly. What kind of being is a spirit? And how you were born.”
[I see.]
The spirit muttered in a gloomy voice.
[I was born that way since I was born. The first thing I saw was the scornful gaze of my own people, and the first sensations I felt were pain and persecution. but i was just fine Still, I thought of them as their own people. I believed that if we were together like this… it wasn’t.]
According to the skeleton, the crazy spirit is a tool created by the spirit king to maintain the spirit’s ego. The mad spirit started to sob.
[Everyone has abandoned me. I was the only one left in the spirit realm. then i realized To them, I am
not the same spirit. To them, I am not worth as much as a leaf on the roadside.]
The sobs stopped. A glowing pupil could be seen between the dropped heads.
[So I’m going to get revenge.]
“Really?”
Taishan didn’t say anything more. The spirit lifted its head and smiled bitterly.
[Of course I know. It’s something someone like me can’t accomplish.]
The Spirit King is strong. Going down from the labyrinth to the depths
meant that he had that much power. When Taishan judged, the small spirit in front of him could not even reach its feet no matter how hard he tried for hundreds of years.
It seemed that the spirits were fully aware of that.
“Maybe I can live with the stability I’ve been looking for. But… that’s not why I came here. I made a contract for revenge.]
All the NPCs in the labyrinth hoped for something and signed a contract with the wizard.
The Spirit was revenge.
[It’s impossible for me, but you’re different.]
The spirit’s eager eyes turned to Taesan.
[If it were you, it would be possible. You can kill the king.]
Kwajik.
The spirit broke the root with his hand. The power contained in the root dwelled in the spirit. The spirit’s body gradually turned into formless fog.
[Subquest completed.]
A voice rang out from the fog.
[They made me a tool. So
I will use my tool to get revenge.]
The thick fog rushed at Taesan. Taesan watched silently. The fog enveloped Taishan’s body and soon seeped into the weapon.
[This is the path I chose.]
After that voice, I no longer felt the spirit’s presence.
[A spirit longing for vengeance dwells in your weapon.]
[The effect of the weapon has changed.]
The quest that covered the entire 20th floor is over. Taesan inspected Carvert’s relics, which were inhabited by spirits.
[Oh… this is unexpected,]
muttered the ghost in surprise.
[Was the contractor itself a quest reward? This is… very unique?]
“Then, what will happen now?”
The crazy spirit wasn’t just an NPC. It was a so-called essential NPC that existed at the beginning of the 21st floor and gave adventurers a skill to attack the spirits.
Now that such a being had disappeared, adventurers entering the 21st floor could not find a way to attack the spirit. The ghost hummed.
[It’s the first time I’ve seen it, so I don’t know. How many administrators of the labyrinth are there, so will they take care of it?]
As soon as he finished speaking, the floor of the labyrinth stood up. They were assembled like puzzle pieces
to form a gigantic device.
A minion of the wizard who created the labyrinth. Barbababamba appeared in front of Taesan.
[It’s been a long time since someone said it was liberation, so is it you?]
[Huh? Why are you sticking out?]
The ghost was taken aback by the appearance of Barbabamba. Balba Bamba replied calmly.
[This is because the contractor in charge of the 21st floor has disappeared. I have to fill that void.]
[Did you do that?]
[This is also my job.]
The bottom of the labyrinth was shaken. Soon, a small pillar appeared in the place where the spirit had gone mad.
[I need to install the quest line temporarily. Good job then. Human.]
After finishing his work, Barbaba disappeared.
the ghost laughed.
[It’s neat.]
It appeared like lightning and disappeared like lightning. But I did find out one thing with this.
‘The labyrinth is still being repaired
.’
NPCs. The beings called contractors handed over each quest to the adventurer. However, the contractor was not a being bound forever. It was a being that moved like spirits and ghosts and disappeared for its own wishes.
Barbaba filled the place of the lost spirit.
If so, there was a high possibility that the place of the ghost was also filled by something else.
It’s not that important information, but I put it in my head.
It looked like it might be useful later.
If so, what did the spirit give him by devoting himself?
It was time to check it out.
[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 many members of the royal family.]
[Attack power + 4]
[Attack power + 15 when dealing with all enemies]
[A spirit that longs for vengeance dwells in it. Attack power +3
[Damage + 20% targeting spirits]
[Damage + 40% targeting spirit kings. The spirit skill [Discarded Blade] can be activated.] [
This effect can be dispelled at any time and transferred to another weapon.]
“uh.”
[What?]
Taesan hesitated. Even the ghost was speechless
.
[What is this?]
“…is that so?”
Taesan concentrated his gaze and read the effect. And I was possessed with a laugh.
“what’s this.”
It was an effect that could only be said.
The most basic attack power was 30. By simple calculation, Taesan’s attack power was higher than that of the secondary weapon he was currently wearing.
But I could understand. The reason
was that the higher the level, the lower the value of attack power. Considering that Lee Taeyeon’s attack power was in the thousands, 30 didn’t mean much.
If it ends here, it will eventually be discarded equipment, but this is a different story.
[Damage against spirits + 20%]
It was a whopping 20% increase. It was limited to the spirits, but it was an unbelievable figure.
In addition, a 40%
damage increase was attached to the spirit king only.
If it overlaps with the spirit damage increase, it was a whopping 60% increase. This alone meant that it would become over 50% stronger.
There was even a spirit skill attached to it. I won’t know what effect it will have until I try it, but looking at the other options, it wouldn’t be bad at all.
“This is really…
one of the biggest options out there.
[This effect can be dispelled at any time and moved to another weapon.]
This effect could be moved arbitrarily. It meant that they would not throw away just because they wore higher-level equipment.
This meant a very good thing. To be precise, even saying good was not enough.
“I will use this to the end.”
A kind of graduation grade item.
He already had it in his hands.
In addition, Carvert’s relics were equipment that had already been treated magically. The fact that the effect was applied without any problems
meant that there might be no restrictions on applying the effect.
“It’s hard to find flaws.”
If I had to question it, it would be limited to the spirits, but Lee Tae-yeon said that the spirits constantly appear as you go down the labyrinth. If you go down to the depths, there is also the existence of the spirit king, so there was no problem.
“Good.”
It was worth the hard work. The wish of a spirit that has gone mad will take time, but it will come true someday.
Taesan goes down the floor again. When we arrived on the 25th
floor and went to find Hafran, he handed over the blackened shoes.
[Shoes made of golem ore and forged with spirit]
[Attack power + 15]
[Defense + 4
[Agility + 3]
[Movement speed + 15%]
[Action speed + 8%
] can unlock This skill can only be used once per day.]
[Creates a terrible black swamp where you stepped on. If anyone other than the owner of the shoe steps on it, it will inflict a powerful random curse and abnormal condition.] [
Valuable items were made by an excellent blacksmith.]
“It would be better to try it out than to explain it.”
Taesan put on his shoes and stamped his feet. Then, the place he stepped on shook with black aura. The range seemed to be only the part he stepped on
, and since it didn’t disappear even
after he rolled his foot several times, it seemed that there was no particular limit on the duration or number of times, or there were too many.
“It’s fine.”
I’ll have to check how much the debuff is, but it was an effect that could lead the flow of battle as he wanted. It wasn’t bad.
Taesan left Hafran behind and entered the 30th floor.
[Starting the 30th floor quest]
[Defeat the boss on the 30th floor and pass.]
[Reward: The end of the dead soul]
[Secret reward: ???]
Finally 3(房.
“If you saved me this much, I could have saved you for a long time.”
At that time, it was time to deal with the guides of sins that could not be sorted out.
Level up with skill
