270. Level 61 Test Field (1)
Upon entering the 61st floor, the shop owner grinned at Taesan.
“You overcame it. What are you going to buy?”
” no.”
Taesan shook his head. 61st floor. It was the beginning of a new theme. The shop’s equipment must have also changed to a higher level.
However, Taesan had no intention of buying. It was in-depth , and considering the price of
in-depth equipment, I had to keep collecting it from now on.
The shop owner nodded as if he expected it.
“This is the place just before the depths. It’s a unique place. From here, the labyrinth begins to change little by little.”
he chinned
“You will know when you go. overcome and win See you downstairs.”
Taesan answered with silence and left the store.
He made his way towards the aisle. The moment he was about to open the door in front of him, a system
window suddenly appeared and stopped him.
[Special quest starts]
[God’s test.]
[One week later. All adventurers in the labyrinth move to the Colosseum.]
[The number of Colosseums exists as much as the number of each country, and if you wish, you can select and meet each other’s Colosseum.] [
This quest cannot be denied.]
[After moving to the Colosseum Progress through quests
and receive rewards according to performance.]
“Is it starting soon?”
Taesan mumbled as he read the quest window.
Colosseum. It had only one meaning.
Stadium. A battle between players.
Taesan opened a community. Just then, an invitation to talk came from Lee Tae-yeon. When Taesan accepted, familiar people were talking loudly.
[Geum Joong-geun [Hard]: Uh… I don’t understand. What exactly does this mean?]
[Kim Hwi-yeon [Hard]: Wait a minute, Jung-geun. I also have a headache right now. Let’s think about it for a bit.]
People were groaning and wrapping their heads. First of all, there were no people from other countries, probably trying to figure out the situation.
[Kang Tae-san [Alone]: What are you doing?]
[Keum Joong-geun [Hard]: Ah. Brother.]
[Lee Tae-yeon [Alone]: Me. Mr Taesan. do you know this Suddenly, a quest called God’s Trial is given. It wasn’t so sudden.]
They focused on Taesan’s words. Taesan
had been shown to have a direct relationship with God so far, so he seemed to expect Taesan to know.
However, Taesan contained negative words.
[Kang Tae-san [Alone]: I don’t know. There are several gods I know, but there is no reason to do such a thing without explaining to me.]
[Kang Jun-hyeok [Alone]: Aren’t you an older brother? Then who the hell is this?]
Of course, I knew what Taesan was. It was about how it progressed, who he met
, and what kind of quests he received.
But that’s something he knows because he went back in time. I couldn’t speak for him.
[Lee Tae-yeon [Alone]: …is it just like the ordeal God puts down on the entire labyrinth?]
[Kang Jun-hyeok [Alone]: There is a possibility. There is nothing as meaningless as predicting the movements of the gods.]
[Geum Joong-geun [Hard]: Anyway… Let’s check it out.]
They started to discuss.
[Geum Joong-geun [Hard] Quest.]
[
Kim Hwi-yeon [Hard] is called ‘Go’
?
The question is, who are you fighting with…]
There was a moment of silence at those words. Lee Taeyeon posted this as if she was ambiguous.
[Lee Tae-yeon [Alone]: It’s likely that we’re all… right?]
[Kim Hwi-yeon [Alone]: Then there’s another problem. There was no mention of separate modes for each mode in this quest. Isn’t it being too one-sided?]
[Lee Tae-yeon [Alone]: Eh. I don’t know either. If you think rationally, it should be separated by mode…]
[Kang Jun-hyeok [Alone]: Because God is not a being who pursues rationality
. That God really puts no value on the weak. that they only pay attention to those they favor.
In the end, it was a question without an answer. A week later. We’ll find out when the quest begins.
Rather, it was productive to talk about what can be confirmed immediately.
[Lee Tae-yeon [Alone]: What does it mean to be able to choose and meet the Colosseum with the countries you want
?]
[Kim Hwi-yeon [Hard]: Isn’t that the literal meaning? It seems like the countries you want to meet meet and go on a quest together.]
[Geum Joong-geun [Hard]: Then we should talk. It would be nice to meet people if possible.]
You can meet people from other countries.
That fact stirred their emotions for the better. They knew they weren’t the only ones left alive, but
seeing it in person was another matter.
[Kim Hwi-yeon [Hard]: I’ll contact you first. Let’s check the details after talking with them.]
[Kang Jun-hyeok [Alone]: Yes.]
The story was being organized little by little. When Taesan was about to turn off the community, Lee Taeyeon suddenly called him.
[Lee Tae-yeon [Alone]: Ah. Mr Taesan. Has anything happened since then?]
[
Kang Tae-san [Alone]: Labyrinth side?]
[Lee Tae-yeon [Alone]: No. Is that Amelia? A woman who does it.]
[Kang Tae-san [Alone]: Something was noisy. I ignored them all.]
I had received several invitations to talk from her. I had forgotten about it because I turned off the notifications in my frenzy, but now I see that there are dozens of invitations piled up.
[Lee Tae-yeon [alone]: I keep asking what kind of person Tae-san is doing. I answered appropriately. Maybe that’s why he keeps obsessing over Tae-san…]
[Kang Tae-san [alone]: We’ll see each other soon anyway. Until then, go down hard.]
[Lee Tae-yeon [Alone]: Yep.]
Tae-san turned off the community.
As far as he remembers, the only countries he met at the Colosseum were Korea, the United States, France, and Japan. The rest of the country either refused to talk or
met only among themselves.
“How are you going?”
The result will be completely different from the previous life. It was very much expected.
After tidying up, Taesan opened the door.
It was very wide.
It was about the size of four playgrounds. And beyond that, I could see the stairs going down.
This one room is all of the 61st floor.
Taesan instinctively realized.
He looked away. In the corner of the room,
a man was sleeping with his back against the wall.
‘As the story goes.’
Taesan approached the man. Sensing the popularity, the man opened his eyes slightly.
“…It’s the first time I’ve seen this face.”
The man got up abruptly.
Wearing a tattered robe and a conical hat like a wizard, he was about a head shorter than Taishan. My body was too small, and I felt like I would collapse if I hit it.
“Adventure?”
Taesan nodded. The man opened his mouth.
“Nice to meet you. I am an adventurer who has stepped deep. And the one who settles here and tests the adventurers.”
The man pulled out his cane. A dried and twisted wooden staff appeared.
“A wizard who failed to do his duty. It’s called Beldenquia. Please take good care of me for the time being.”
[You encountered a wizard who couldn’t save the princess.]
A wizard who couldn’t save the princess. Beldencia.
Taesan looked at Beldenkia. Beldenkia belatedly noticed the presence of a ghost while examining him.
“Warrior?”
[long time no see. Beldencia.]
“…I understand what happened. Didn’t you, who was betrayed and died,
make a deal with the wizard? Is that why you are attached to the adventurer in front of you?”
[There is no need to bother explaining. that’s right. I was entangled in the labyrinth to get revenge on the damn guys.]
“That’s really unfortunate. I thought you could reach the end of the labyrinth. Even if clearing has no value, honor can be found.”
Beldencia laughed. It was a laugh oozing out of madness somewhere.
he clapped his hands
“then.”
He looked at Taishan.
“You who have reached this place would like to move forward, right?”
“That’s right.”
“good. Then what is your name?”
“Taesan. Kang Tae-san.”
“Then Kang Tae-san. Did you check the system window as you entered this place? What was written there?”
“It was written that it was guarded by gatekeepers.”
The theme of the labyrinth changes every 10 floors
. The theme from the 61st to the 70th floor was the gatekeeper.
“That’s right.”
Beldencia pounded the floor with her cane.
“I am the gatekeeper. It is an existence that tests whether adventurers who have reached this place can go further or have to sit down here.”
Beldencia smiled.
“If you’re going to collapse in despair anyway, don’t you think it’s the right answer to stop even dreaming in vain?”
“Then do I have to fight you
?”
Taesan stared blankly at Beldenkia.
“I don’t want to lose my strength in vain.”
“…Huh?”
A small light flickered in Beldencia’s eyes.
“Awesome. I tried my best to find out right away. I didn’t even notice the hero next to you and ran at you.”
[Noisy,]
grumbled the ghost. Taesan shook his head.
“Why is an adventurer like you volunteering to be a gatekeeper here?”
Beldencia was a monster.
I could feel it even in the captured power. The magician in front of him was strong. Neither the lion king nor the fire spirit king would be a problem for the wizard. Even if all of them rushed at it, it had the power to trample and crush it.
‘perhaps.’
He could have been an adventurer
on the same level as Einzhar .
“The reason is simple. I’m a wizard who couldn’t fulfill my duties and fulfill my wishes.”
Beldencia smiled and said.
“That’s why I signed a contract with the wizard of the labyrinth. Think of it as a simple pastime.”
he lifted his cane Robes fluttered and swayed.
“It’s a story you don’t need to know yet. Do you want to go down anyway?”
“yes.”
Taesan nodded. Beldencia looked at him for a moment before opening her mouth.
“I don’t dry up. After all, it’s your choice.”
He tapped the floor with his cane.
“Then let’s begin the test.”
[Start of sub-quest]
[The gatekeeper on the 61st floor. Wizard Beldenquia tests those who come here. You can challenge his test and
get a reward if you overcome it.]
“I will explain the contents of the test from now on.”
Taesan quietly waited for an explanation. I heard the general story from Lee Tae-yeon, but she did not tell the whole story.
“The weak have no reason to go down here. Down here is an even harsher and more terrifying place. Rather than facing a futile death, it is the correct answer to stop and take a seat here. I am that examiner.”
Beldencia pointed at Mount Tai with her staff.
“So I am going to test you. no matter how long it takes You just need to pass my test at least once.”
“What is the content of the test?”
“You must have gained a lot while descending the labyrinth.”
Beldencia opened her mouth.
“It could be swordsmanship or it could be a skill. What I will test is the various powers you have.”
Beldencia continued.
“How perfectly you handle the powers you have. how far have you reached i will test it And if you pass, that’s it. You can go down past me.”
[Beldencia’s test]
[You can choose one power.]
[All other powers except that power and stats are sealed.] [You
must pass Beldencia’s test in that state .
There are stages.]
[If you clear the test, a reasonable reward is given to you.]
[You can challenge the test as many times as you like.]
[You can continue to challenge by choosing a different power, and the more successful you are, the more rewarding it is. increases.]
[The test can only be taken once a day.]
Level up with skills.
