– Volume 13, Chapter 14
314. Fifth Return District (10)
“Whew.”
“You worked hard. sister.”
“you also. Junggeun.”
Finally, a rough tidy up was done. Kim Hwi-yeon lay down on the table. hard mode. Even there, as she entered the late 40th floor, there were so many things to do that she felt exhausted.
But now the rough tidy up is over. All that was left was to take a break until returning to the labyrinth .
It was the moment when she was about to wake up in an attempt to go to sleep she had been putting off.
keying!
A huge wave hit them. Kim Hwi-yeon stiffened as she tried to get up.
“.uh?”
“for a moment.”
Geum Joong-geun’s face also hardened. They came out in a hurry.
“What is that?”
Looking up at the heavens and earth, they were astonished.
Above the heavens and earth, the heavens were opening.
The power felt there is literally absolute power. A condensation of pure power that is impossible to even dare to infer.
Everyone who came out feeling the wave of power froze. In particular, in the case of Lee Tae-yeon and Kang Jun-hyeok, who are in Alone mode, the shock they received was stronger.
“Uh…
“God? what?”
There have been several times when gods have descended. But the sensation I felt now was strange. It was more violent and of this quality.
It was a time when they blankly looked up at heaven and earth.
Koo Goo Goo!
Suddenly, a great force struck the heavens and earth. People scream and sit hesitantly at the clash of forces that distort the space.
At the same time, a roar erupts from heaven and earth. A cry from a beast that longs for life to avoid being deprived of its own
. Everyone covers their ears. Lee Tae-yeon and Kang Jun-hyeok painfully grab their heads.
“Woo-wook.”
Taeyeon covers her mouth. It was a sensation that shook my mind even though they were not the target.
Whoops!
After the being that let out a roar was pushed away, the open sky closed.
And the transformation begins.
[Oh oh oh _!]
A shout hits the world. The distorted
and twisted being swells up and begins to cover the heavens and the earth.
“What is that again!”
Kim Hwi-yeon screams. I thought it was all over. I couldn’t keep up with the sudden happenings.
Fortunately, the system window alerted them to the situation.
[Starting a special quest]
[Kill the monster.]
“Special quest?”
“Isn’t it over yet?”
they buzz they
conclude
“You mean you have to knock that thing down?”
At someone’s murmur, everyone looked at the distorted monster in heaven and earth.
A monster so disfigured that its shape cannot be properly recognized.
“Ah…
the people who looked at the monster grabbed their heads. They retching and hesitantly withdraw.
[Determining confusion…]
[Determining insanity…]
[Determining mental breakdown…]
“Aaaaaa!”
“Ugh!”
People grab their heads and suffer. Some of them have already failed the judgment and start running wild. Kim Hwi-yeon gritted his teeth.
“Don’t look at everyone!”
My mind is about to collapse just by looking at it.
It didn’t end there. Dark energy was coming down
from heaven and earth like lava.
I didn’t know exactly what it was, but I knew it instinctively.
When they reach there, they cease to be human.
“Back off!”
Hwiyeon Kim shouted harshly.
“What is this?”
In the confusion, they started to run away from the energy that was coming out.
Taesan glanced down and summoned the spirit.
[You are the spirit king of the wind. I have summoned Minerva.]
[You are a colorful and top-notch spirit. Summoned Barkaza.]
[Master. What is that?]
“What? Isn’t that the guy who said he was Jinryong? Why did you cease to exist on this side?”
“They interfered.”
As soon as they appeared, Taesan said roughly to the two who were taken aback.
“Take care of me down there.”
Minerva and Barkaza, who saw the black energy coming out of the hole, quickly grasped the situation. They both nodded.
“okay.”
[According to the owner’s will.]
Minerva’s body disappeared and appeared in front of people. The people who were hastily widening their distance in the black energy
widened their eyes.
Minerva swung her arm. The wind exploded and the black energy was completely blown away.
“Ohhh!”
“Minerva!”
people are screaming
But Minerva frowned.
It was heavy.
It was enough energy that she, the King of Spirits, had to expend considerable energy to block it. Kim Hwi-yeon approached
cautiously .
“Miss Minerva. That monster…
“I don’t know.”
It was more alien than any monster she had ever seen.
“Can something like that exist in this world?”
It was such a question.
Whoops!
And a clash of forces began to take place in heaven and earth. Minerva looked up at the sky and muttered quietly.
“Win. master.”
[Ooh oh oh!]
The monster that has ceased to be a Jinryong howls.
He raises his broken and twisted arm and strikes down Mount Tai.
Taesan kicks his feet. Dodges an attack that is narrowly swung.
Whoops!
Heaven and earth collapse in the attack. Baekdusan begins to act. Intense heat begins to rise on the cracked ground. Seeing the volcano
start spewing smoke,
Taesan opens his mouth.
“stop.”
Kiggy Geek!
The volcanic activity is stopped by the decree.
The smoke stops and the heat that was about to pierce the earth begins to subside.
[Ooh oh oh!]
Then the monster rushes at Taesan.
[The opponent is an impossible enemy to win.]
[You have activated Apostleization [Darkness and Chaos].]
[You have activated the King’s Bowl.] You
activate battle-related skills in succession. The monster that has lost its intellect goes mad and starts rampaging. Everything collapses and mountains begin to cut away.
Kagagak!
Taesan blocked the monster’s attack.
However, Taesan’s body, unable to withstand the force, was pushed away. The monster animates the broken body. It is a speed that is difficult to follow even with the naked eye
. He wields his sword by relying on his senses and instincts.
Kaaang!
Once again, Taishan’s body rolled on the ground.
The monster kicks the ground. It throws its body like a jump and tries to crush the mountain with its gigantic body.
[You activate a random Blink.]
Taesan’s body moves right on top of the monster. Just put the sword down. designation of the underbelly. An attack that used all of the acceleration.
Kaaaang!
[1233 damage to the distorted one that became lifeless.]
However, the sword did not stick.
It bounces off as if hitting a solid iron wall. It trembles like a monster. Taesan activates an aerial jump to evade random attacks.
[Ohhhh!]
The monster howls and leaps.
‘Be quick.’
It is responding by reading the senses and will,
but it is difficult to respond by seeing it with the eyes.
‘It’s strong.’
Even with simple abilities, it was far superior to Taesan. The body was pushed out just by bumping into it, and it was difficult to defend itself.
‘And it’s hard.’
Defense was not a problem for Taesan, who had an absolute judgment.
It meant that the rank of the monster itself was superior to Mount Tai.
[Ohhhh!]
With a shout, the monster’s body enlarges. It becomes huge like a small hill and swings its damaged body roughly.
[You activated Amon’s jet-black wedge.]
A black wedge is formed in Taesan’s hand. Throw a wedge at the monster that rushes to crush everything.
An explosion goes off.
And it was Taesan that was pushed out.
[Your first attack, Absolute Nullification has been activated.]
“Ha.”
Taesan laughed. The attack nullification was gone just by pure strength and power.
‘town.’
Especially strong in single digits.
It was a monster of the level Taesan had defeated at the end of his previous life.
“It’s not easy.”
The monster leaps again. The force that shattered the mountain range fell on Taishan’s head.
People run away frightened by the approaching black energy. Minerva frowns and expresses the wind. The black energy is pushed out and scattered.
But the energy kept getting closer.
“Tsk.”
Minerva clicked her tongue.
She was the Spirit King. It had power comparable to
the depths of the labyrinth .
However, as she was summoned, she could not use her full power.
He gathered all his strength to block the spreading energy, but he was slowly reaching his limit.
‘At this rate, I’ll be reverse summoned soon.’
Minerva looked around and made up her mind.
“once. I will push you away with all my might, so run away at that moment.”
“yes yes?”
Minerva gathered her strength. He was determined to be summoned and began to gather his remaining energy.
It was the moment she was about to burst it.
[No need to do that.]
A calm voice rang out. A huge being descended in front of her.
Minerva’s eyes widened.
“…father?”
[Spirit. Beatrice descended.]
A shaky spiritual body without a materialized body
. A spirit god appeared on Earth.
Spirit spirit flowed out. Compared to the power of the main body, it is a very weak power, but the power of nature perfectly surrounds Mt. Baekdu.
The black energy beats the barrier of nature, but there is not the slightest confusion.
[It’s a bit late because the troublesome things are messing around.]
Beatrice said, looking indifferently at the collapsed sky.
[It crossed the line very strangely. Thanks
to that, I was able to interfere from this side as well.]
“…Did my father be able to descend to other worlds as well?”
Minerva was embarrassed. The concept of a spirit did not exist on Earth. It was not an area where Beatrice, the spirit god, could interfere.
Beatrice replied.
[This is neutral territory. It’s a world that they and we are all one step away from. It is possible because it is a very unique and heterogeneous place.]
“Oh oh oh oh…
People bow down after seeing Beatrice.
They didn’t even have the ability to feel Beatrice’s power. But even so, only awe that could not be hidden rose up in his heart.
Beatrice turned her gaze to the people.
After looking at Taeyeon for a moment, he opened his mouth.
[There must be something else for you to worship. Pray for him.]
“Ah…
Only then did people remember who was fighting the monster.
People bowed their knees. He put his hands together and began to pray.
“Taesan-nim…
“Please…
Until now, people believed in Taishan and worshiped him as a god, but that belief was an ordinary offering to the strong.
But now it was different.
A black aura that is instinctively rejected. A monster of
heaven and earth that is about to collapse just by looking at it
.
And the battle in which Mt. Baekdu itself collapsed.
It was literally a mind-boggling sight. Even for them, who had become accustomed to various situations, the laws of a foreign world seemed to have been broken.
Under extreme circumstances, people began to believe that Taesan was the only savior to save them.
The energy of pure faith that is not mixed with anything else flows to Taesan in heaven and earth.
Beatrice watched the scene blankly.
[It’s strange.]
Faith was the power of people’s beliefs.
The faith of millions of people was not at a level that humans could accept.
It’s not that there weren’t people who gained divinity through people’s trust, but most of them were non-human beings who were born with some degree of godhood.
However, even though Taesan was human,
he perfectly accepted his faith without any loss.
Spirit God is the spirit god. He has existed in this world since the concept of spirits existed. There were gods stronger than him, but few gods older than him.
Even he had not seen a case like Taesan.
[Show me. mortal The power you have.]
[Oooh!]
The monster howls. It shakes the body randomly. The earth collapsed and was ruined.
Taesan swung his sword to block it, but he had no choice but to allow the attack.
Kaaaang!
[Your third attack, Absolute Nullification has been activated.]
w Tsu ”
才、.
Taesan clicked his tongue. All of the attack nullifiers
have been consumed.
Still, it wasn’t without gain. He figured out how to attack the monster.
[You activated Frost Arrow.]
The ice arrow flies. If it was a monster, it could have been avoided very lightly, but instead of dodging, the monster attacked Taesan. The arrow collided with the monster.
‘A monster that attacks while ignoring defense.’
As if Taesan’s attack didn’t work on him, the monster
did not defend against Taesan’s attack.
I could read the pattern of the rampaging monster because I had no intellect. If he was determined and focused only on avoidance, avoidance itself was possible.
But the problem was different.
[1320 damage to the distorted one that became lifeless.]
The level of the monster itself was too high. Even if Taesan hit the attack, the proper damage did not go in.
Power was lacking. However, Taesan continued to move.
If you don’t have enough strength,
you should attack as much as you do. It was the moment he was about to run at the monster.
A great power descended. Taesan hesitated. The monster also hesitated without running into Taesan, probably feeling the strong waves.
Taesan looked away. A being with great power descended beside Minerva.
“Is it a spirit god?”
He unleashes his power and spreads a barrier around them. The black aura that was slowly spreading was blocked.
Goshin definitely
crossed the line when he got involved with Jinryong. It was predicted that God would intervene.
It was a good thing. You just have to focus on your own battle.
The faith of the people who had been confused by running away grew stronger.
It was so much that Taesan could feel it.
[The mastery of divine power has risen by 2%.]
An increase in divine power.
[Ohhh!]
The monster rushes in. Taesan did not avoid it. Conversely, the monster’s power was used
to pierce the sword.
[2431 damage to the distorted thing that became lifeless.]
[44353 damage to you.]
In an instant, his health dropped to less than half.
Taishan wears divine power. The reduced physical strength is restored in an instant, and mana and magic are also filled.
Divine power quickly showed the bottom.
But divine power comes from people’s beliefs.
Now, tens of millions of people
were giving their all and sending their faith to Taishan.
Divine power, which showed the bottom, rises in an instant. Within a few seconds, divinity is restored to its original state.
[Divine power proficiency has risen by 1%.]
Level up with skill.
