163. 36 The hunchback who pursued the twisted mystery (3)
[Various things.]
The ghost clicked his tongue.
The difficulty level was raised in the middle of the ordeal.
It wasn’t the first time it happened. It was the same with Raki Ratas.
Thinking about it made me laugh. It meant that God did what an immortal would do.
“I have received a lot, but a bully is a bully.”
Taesan murmured and went to find the next monster.
The transcendental power he felt from the next knight he met was stronger and thicker. The knight swung a sword with a twisted arm.
Taesan blocked the attack and drove it away before inserting his sword.
Tuong!
The moment Taesan’s sword got stuck in the corroded armor, it bounced off.
Taesan quickly opened up the distance and straightened up.
‘Am I completely ignoring physical attacks now?’
It is definitely different from the gods. It has the name of trial, but like the gods, he didn’t want to test the mountains, he really wanted to kill them.
I could feel the intent to kill Tae-san from the huge aura that hovered around the floor.
[Immune to physical attacks? what? Even an immortal would have to endure a significant amount of power consumption at this level? Are you trying to kill me like this?]
“Is everything okay with you?”
Taesan asked while dodging the attacking knight.
[I just had to do that. I felt annoyed stares, but I didn’t want to kill him this far. But you seem different.]
“Is it because of magic?”
Taishan has already been granted intermediate magic by the magic god.
As an immortal who pursues mysteries, it seems that he wants to cut off the buds even if it means consuming a lot of power.
“But not quite like this.”
shit.
Dozens of arrows of frost were drawn all at once around Mount Tai. They rush towards the rushing knight.
Kagagak!
The knight swung his sword and tried to deflect it away, but Taesan raised his finger.
[You activated Mephisto’s Black Lightning.]
Kurrung!
Jet-black lightning pierced the knight’s body. Mephisto’s black lightning
had the power to momentarily stop an opponent’s actions. Dozens of frost arrows lodged in the body of the flinching knight.
[You have won against the blue knight blessed with twisted mysteries.]
[Your spirit level has been activated. Magic resistance proficiency increased by 2%.]
“It’s been a while.”
It was a meaningless skill because he rarely encountered enemies who used magic, and even if he did, he would not get hit and knock them down. Still
, it didn’t feel bad to see his skill level rise
in such a small way .
At the same time Taesan defeated the blue knight, the color of the aura that engulfed the labyrinth changed.
It was a pleasure this time.
It was as if Taesan was waiting for it to self-destruct.
Taesan continued to move forward, thinking that he was a person with a great emotional change compared to his situation.
Articles appeared constantly. Because they were all opponents who could not be attacked physically, they had no choice but to use magic, black magic, and spirit skills.
However, there was nothing else to be a problem for Taesan. With just these three things, I was able to defeat this level of monster without difficulty.
Taesan defeated ten knights like that.
The energy that was full of joy gradually faded, and embarrassment and denial began to take its place.
“Is it unexpected?”
Taesan muttered as he subdued the knight by dropping lightning bolts in succession.
“What were you expecting?”
[Perhaps he thought he would run out of mana?]
With the ghost’s words, Taesan realized why the Immortal had such extreme emotional changes.
Mana
rises the slowest among basic stats. No matter how much you raise the level, there is a limit to the amount of increase, so if you don’t have a special piece, you have to pay a lot of attention to the use of magic.
Right now, even if it was Taesan in his previous life, he couldn’t use his skills properly because he lacked mana.
If he was a normal adventurer, he would have exhausted all his mana before long.
But Taesan was different.
[You activated lightning strikes.]
Lightning strikes the knight in succession. Although he used magic over 20 times,
Taesan’s mana was not much different from the first time.
Due to the influence of the designated stat-up skill received from the God of Victory, Taesan’s mana had already reached over 2000.
In addition, due to the mana reduction effect of intelligence stats and the mana recovery skill, beginner magic did not consume almost mana.
There will be no shortage of mana until the floor is cleared. What the immortal wished for did not happen.
And Taesan
realized one more fact through this conversation.
Taesan’s mana was at a very high level. Thanks to various skills and high intelligence stats, consuming them all was close to impossible.
However, the immortal was trying to kill Taesan by consuming mana.
It was a method I would never have done if I knew about Taesan.
Kurleung!
[You have won against the blue knight who has been blessed with twisted mysteries.]
[Your level has risen.]
[Your magic proficiency has risen by 1%.]
The knight can no longer hold out and collapses. Taesan said while looking at the article that was being reduced to ashes.
“You don’t know about me.”
If Taesan had known what kind of fights he had been through, what he had received, and how he became strong, he would have found a way other than this ordeal.
In other words, immortals, unlike the gods, do not know about Mount Tai. What he has done and what he
has achieved.
[Because immortals don’t have the right rank or realm. I don’t have abilities close to omniscience like the gods. You probably know about it because you heard rumors, but you probably didn’t know the details.]
“Really? It’s worse than I thought.”
There was a clear difference with the gods.
Taesan continued to move forward and cleaned up the monsters. Each time, the agitation in the energy grew even greater.
Eventually, Taesan arrived in front of the boss.
[A blue and silver knight who was swallowed up by a twisted mystery
appeared.]
The knight’s appearance was something that could no longer be called a knight.
The armor was dry and twisted, and the helmet was also strangely fused, showing a hideous face. Only the sword was maintaining its original shape.
[Uuuh!]
The knight howled like a beast. At the same time, a storm raged around the knight.
Taesan let out a laugh.
“Can you use magic now?”
And that wasn’t all.
The twisted knight was feeling the fragments of a great deal.
That meant one thing.
The knight in front of him meant that he had become a hunchbacked apostle who pursued a twisted mystery.
Of course, he would not have the normal strength and dignity, but it was clear that he would be much stronger than the knights he had met so far.
The ghost also clicked its tongue as if it were absurd.
[Even monsters like that? How much do you
want to kill me?]
“It doesn’t matter.”
Seeing him wanting to kill himself like this made me more motivated.
[Your opponent is an enemy that is difficult to win.]
[You activated Apostle Slayer.]
[Hunger for battle activated.]
[Fair duel activated.]
[Proof of Limits activated.]
[You activated has activated Contempt for the Strong.]
[Giant Killer has been activated.]
[You have activated Sado Fire [Rakiratas].]
The power of the gods dwells in Taesan.
And the relevant information comes into my head.
Taesan knew. What is an immortal being? And even the state of the enemy in front of you.
There was some pretty interesting information, but the most important thing now was to win against the enemy.
Taesan grabbed the sword strongly and
charged at the knight.
Kagagak!
Swords collided with each other, making a loud noise. Perhaps it was because he raised his spirituality with his apostleship, he was able to match the sum without bouncing off.
[Ooh!]
cried the knight. At the same time, magic is manifested. A storm rages in and a blizzard begins sweeping the room.
Perhaps because he became an immortal disciple who pursued mysteries, he was using magic of a higher rank than Taishan.
But Tae-san
had nothing to do with it.
Taesan drew his sword and activated his skill.
[You triggered a forced duel.]
A forced duel. A skill that creates a 1:1 situation with the target. It was a skill that meant nothing now that there were only two of them in the first place, but it was different for Taesan now.
At the same time as the forced duel was triggered, the storm and blizzard that raged towards Taesan began to disappear as soon as it reached Taesan.
It was as if access itself was not allowed.
Kagagak!
Excluding magic, Taesan wields a sword.
Although it has become stronger, it is basically a 30th floor boss monster. The tricky thing was being immune to physical attacks and using magic, but both were nullified by apostolicization and forced duels.
Then there was no problem. Tai San activated his ability sword and continued to attack successfully. The knight wielded his sword and resisted, but was no match for Taesan.
[2028 damage to the blue and silver knight swallowed up by the twisted mystery.]
The battle was one-sided. Then, perhaps because he was impatient, his energy shook violently.
The energy that was thinking about something made a decision belatedly.
[The hunchback’s authority in pursuit of the twisted mystery has decreased.]
[The hunchback’s authority in pursuit of the twisted mystery has manifested. The twisting distortion was activated more strongly.]
“It’s too late.”
Kwajik.
It pierces the knight’s chest, where power begins to dwell. As it is, he twists the sword to increase the wound and slams it into the ground.
[Your spirit level has been activated. Permanently increased physical strength by 540, strength by 132, agility by 98, and intelligence by 12.] [
Magic resistance proficiency increased by 2%.] [ Apostle Slayer’s proficiency increased by 1%.]
[Ability sword proficiency increased by 1%
It has risen.]
[Your level has risen.]
[Your level has risen.]
The energy of life was drained from the knight’s body, which had great power.
“If I’m going to do it, I’ll do it quickly.”
Taesan laughed. The hunchback’s judgment in pursuit of a twisted mystery came too late. He must have weighed for a long time between the fact that he had consumed too much of his power and the desire to kill Taesan.
In the end, I chose the latter, but at that time everything was already over.
The energy that engulfed the floor swayed quietly.
“It was better than expected.”
Forced dueling was also one of the skills changed by the ability sword.
[Special activation skill: Forced duel]
[Mana consumption: 1
[Proficiency level: 11%]
[Duel with the target. For 10 seconds, no damage can be done to you except the target.]
[Condition: Advanced swordsmanship [Ability Sword
]
[If the opponent uses a sword, both cannot use anything except a sword.] If
the opponent uses a sword It was a tricky skill to use as there was a penalty that Taesan could only use a sword as a condition.
So I expected that it would take quite a while to use, but thanks to the right opponent, I was able to defeat it without too much trouble.
Taishan won the ordeal.
Now it was time to claim the reward, but the immortal did not move.
“I don’t think you’re going to give it away.”
[That’s impossible. This is the law of the labyrinth. No matter how immortal they are, even if they are gods, they cannot escape as long as they are in the labyrinth.]
As soon as I was sure that I could receive the reward without any problems, I became curious this time.
The gods gave Taesan, who passed the ordeal, skills related to their realm
.
However, immortals did not have their own realm.
Taesan’s question was quickly resolved.
[Start compulsory settlement.]
[You got the 36th floor secret room reward [Lightning struck by a dead tree].] [
You got the 36th floor clear reward [Bracelet containing nuclear fragments].]
[You Received [???] reward for clearing the 36th floor.]
[The hunchback’s powers manifested in pursuit of twisted
mysteries
.
