249. Special always activated skill. Absolute Protection (2)
Taesan in his previous life was in Easy Mode.
Due to the limits of his innate stats, surviving to the end was almost impossible.
The only power that could solve that was skill.
That’s why Taesan worked hard for skill.
Literally,
to the point that I lost my entire life, even my ego.
There was a time when I invested years to acquire one skill. There were times when I didn’t sleep for a week and repeated the same actions, and there were times when I continued to do things that were tantamount to putting a thread of my life on a knife blade.
And he also thought about how to block the so-called continuous attack of dot damage.
Taesan did his best to solve almost the only drawback of nullifying attacks. First of all, he
thought of a way to not take
continuous damage at all .
The easiest way was to use the blocking skill. As long as you don’t receive less than a certain amount of damage, it was the method that best met the condition of preventing weak continuous damage.
However, it is not possible to obtain a skill just by blocking continuous damage with a blocking skill. Even so, the skill obtained so easily did not have much effect.
So he did several experiments. First of all
, I tried to block the continuous damage
that could not be blocked with the blocking skill .
The 95th floor of Easy Mode was where various monsters appeared. It was also called the final challenge of Easy Mode, where various types of monsters, such as beasts, plants, and insects, rushed at once.
And there was a monster spraying poison.
The monster’s continuous damage was 6 higher than the limit that Taesan could block by blocking.
Taesan conducted several experiments to reduce this 6.
First, I experimented with the physical part. I tried to see if it could be reduced by covering most of the body and showing only a part of it, and I also tried to reduce the damage by killing half of the monster itself.
But all to no avail. Even if only part of the body was visible, the damage did not change, and if the monster was killed halfway, the continuous damage would decrease, but nothing could be gained from that.
After many experiments, Taesan figured out one thing.
That I had to block continuous damage without affecting the monster.
It was a realization closer to instinct than theory.
Taesan robbed a store. I bought dozens and hundreds of potions, combined them, tested them, and tried all sorts of methods.
There were no problems with gold. The immeasurable effort to acquire the skill led to the collection of gold that could not be used in Easy Mode. In Easy Mode, there were few things to buy other than potions, which also played a part.
About a month or more was spent only dealing with potions. As a result
, I figured out that continuous damage can be prevented with the Potion
of Ascension, the Potion of Protection, and the Potion of Ascension.
There may have been other means, but the most obvious was to use the three Barons Taesan had identified.
Taesan has been able to block continuous damage that cannot be blocked with the effect of blocking.
And nothing came of it.
Taesan calmly prepared for the next one.
Hundreds of thousands of gold and a month’s effort became useless, but I got used to it.
Taesan moved to acquire another skill.
In the meantime, he decided to continue using the potion. It was because it was judged that it was not a huge burden and that there could be one thing in a million.
Taesan continued experimenting with the potion for a year.
When he forgot the meaning of using the potion and started using it half unconsciously, Taesan encountered a monster that used an invisible attack. The white cube-shaped monster
fired invisible blades
whenever the pieces that made up its body rotated .
Taishan tried to block the attack.
Attempts to block the intangible attack have been made many times before, but nothing has been achieved. However, the cube-shaped monster was a monster he had never seen before.
It was well worth a try just for that one.
Taesan grasped the patterns of all the monsters’ attacks and the shape of their blades. It took two months to get there.
And started blocking the attack.
After about 10 minutes,
a monster that sprayed poison suddenly appeared. Since it was a monster that had no effect while using the potion, Taesan ignored it and blocked the cube-shaped monster’s attack.
And after 7 minutes he got absolute protection.
hard work experiment and luck.
A skill obtained by overlapping everything. That was an absolute blessing.
Fain!
Taesan’s sword shook. I twisted and blocked the trajectory of the poison that spewed out
.
And seven minutes passed.
[You succeeded in defending both an attack that deals continuous damage and an invisible attack at the same time. The first skill to activate the special award [I absolutely got it.]
Kwajik.
At the same time as the system window announcing the acquisition of the skill, Taesan defeated Laplacia.
the ghost muttered in a muffled voice.
[…Really there is. What a skill like this
.]
The ghost died while going down the labyrinth, but that wasn’t due to lack of ability.
He was somewhat confident in himself. The self that grasps many of the labyrinths, the self that knows enough.
However, the more I was with Taesan, the more I was completely broken.
[I have nothing to say. I understand why the wizard said that.]
The ghost grunted.
[Can you show me quickly? I’m curious.]
[I’m curious too. I know the labyrinth system, but this is the first time I’ve seen it obtained this way.]
The ghost and Barkaza urged. Tae San opened the skill window.
[Special permanent activation skill: Absolute protection
[
Proficiency level: 1%]
[Intangible energy hovers around the user, automatically defending against continuous damage and invisible attacks. The intangible aura gets stronger in proportion to the Defense, Attack, Stamina, Mana, and Strength stats.]
[Auto-defense skill…]
The ghost laughed.
There were so many defense skills in the labyrinth.
Among them,
there were activated skills and buff-type skills. A defense skill that could block a dragon’s attack was also rare, but it did exist.
And such a skill, as much as the effect, the consumption value was very large.
As for general labyrinth skills, the higher the history, the more expensive it was. The stronger the skill, the higher the mana consumption or restrictions were attached.
The reason why the ghost was astonished when it saw the skills Taesan had learned was a big reason. It was because there was almost no penalty compared to the effect of the skill.
And the absolute divine protection
was at the highest level in that area.
There was no cost at all.
It even started automatically, so there was nothing to worry about.
In addition, if the effect was this much even with a low proficiency level, raising the proficiency level would raise the level to automatically defend against all attacks.
‘There was a magic similar to this one.’
Probably intermediate magic. Among them, the magic of the prize. It was a
magic that could not be easily used even by an in-depth wizard who consumes 500 mana per minute
.
[This is true. It’s even funny.]
Barkaza also said hesitantly, as if he had a similar idea.
[…Can this kind of effect be obtained with a system? I’ve seen the master’s skill a few times… but it’s strange to see it again. I can’t accept it.]
Taesan stared blankly at the skill.
absolute blessing.
It was definitely a useful skill. When he got it from his previous life, he screamed with joy
.
But it was a skill he could not handle.
The reason was simple.
It was because he was in Easy Mode.
The effect of Absolute Protection is that an intangible aura lingers around. And the energy is proportional to the user’s stats.
The stats in Easy Mode are very poor. The absolute blessing he dealt with in his previous life only had a slightly better level of effect than blocking.
But now it’s different.
In Alone Mode, he would be able to handle the true meaning of absolute protection.
It was so strange to think so.
In Easy Mode, he judged Absolute Protection as a useless skill.
They thought they were of no value because they could not handle them with their own abilities.
But now that I have filled in the lack of skills that I couldn’t handle due to lack of ability in my previous life, I can handle them perfectly.
That fact was somehow funny
.
Taesan broke through the room.
As they advanced, Laplacia, who had been waiting for them, attacked Taesan. Intangible tentacles spewed venom.
The moment the poison was about to reach Taesan, the intangible energy surrounding Taesan moved.
Blocked the poison’s access and became possessed. Taesan blocked La Placia’s attack without doing anything.
“There is no problem so far.”
Although it was an overwhelming stat, it also blocked attacks from monsters on the 57th floor.
Seeing that there was no significant shaking of energy, it seemed that he was still able to afford it.
At this level, it is safe to say that there is no case where the nullification of attacks is wasted. Taesan was satisfied and went down the labyrinth.
[Your level has risen.]
[You have obtained a brilliant golden necklace.]
[You have obtained an ooh.]
After clearing the 57th floor, your level reached 117. Stats also rose considerably.
And we got some nice gear too.
[Ankle Guards of the One with the Wind]
[Agility + 130]
[Defense + 150]
[Action Speed + 4%]
[Ankle Guards used by a life that lived a free life with the wind. It contains that free will.]
Action speed
does not increase except for the helmet and shoes. It was a device that broke such common sense.
Dexterity was high and defense was not low. It was definitely a good piece of equipment because it had an action speed that was difficult to obtain.
[Golden necklace that shines brilliantly]
[A necklace made only of gold that shines more than anything else in the world. Even a sage who has transcended the value of material things will send a greedy gaze. Its value is immeasurable.]
Equipment sold in stores. It was only given after reaching the 57th floor, so it would be worth more than 10,000 gold.
[Used Woo??]
[Leather armor made of giant skin ground and stuffed with the horns of a mysterious deer]
[Strength + 200]
[Defense + 200]
[Magic resistance +5]
[Proud of being harder than anyone else It was made by mixing the skin of a giant that had been used with the antlers of a deer that lived in a deep spring .
It has strong defense and weak magic resistance.]
“Magic resistance?”
It was the first ability I saw.
the ghost explained.
[You can literally think of it as resistance to magic. It’s convenient to think that the effect according to the value is the same as the magic value attached to the equipment.]
“Then it’s fine.” It was the same as
reducing magic damage by 5%
.
The 50th floor was also coming to an end.
Perhaps that’s why the ability level of the equipment that came out was incomparably higher than before.
Taesan was satisfied and went down to the 58th floor. He muttered as if the ghost had come to his mind belatedly.
[Come to think of it, the 50th floor is already over. I forgot about it because of this and that.]
Return to Earth.
On top of that, he even acquired the skill that made him smile.
The ghost had forgotten the current situation in the labyrinth.
‘I can’t do this.’
The ghost took over.
He is an adventurer who has gone down to the depths. He was also a strong man with sufficient potential to clear the labyrinth.
The strength Taesan showed was obviously amazing.
The skill he showed and the acquisition of it were all unknown to the ghost.
But the ghost was proud of itself.
He couldn’t be surprised forever. He had to keep his cool and stay by Taishan’s side.
Taishan set foot on the 58th floor.
[Starting the 58th floor quest.]
[Defeat the boss on the 58th floor and pass.]
[Reward: A sword that protects the line of fire.]
[Secret reward: ???]
Taesan opened a community before entering the 58th floor.
The heat there had subsided considerably.
The speed of posting was still fast, but it was the speed at which we could have a conversation with each other.
“Now we can have a little conversation.”
Taesan looked at the community.
Level up with skill
