Leveling Up with Skills Chapter 331

_ Volume 14, Episode 6

331. The world of ghosts perished (3)

“Uh, how…

Wizards stutter. The magic circle spread by the ancient wizards, whom they had not even approached, was completely destroyed.

Bard Ray asked with a laugh.

“Can you use magic as well?”

“Because I have experience.”

“I don’t think it’s a level that can be explained with those simple words… but it’s amazing. The barrier that the wizards of the empire couldn’t lift all at once…

His face overflowed with exclamations as he looked at Mount Tae.

“If it were you, you could really save this world.”

“May I come in?”

“okay. Go and get world recognition. warrior.”

Bardray smiled and said. Taesan put his body through the magic circle.

What was in it was a mighty will. A will passed him by, as if testing and observing a mountain.

The still silent ghost opened his mouth.

[The will of the world is whether you have the will to defeat the demon lord. And it doesn’t determine if you have the right qualifications. I’ll try to reject you, but there won’t be any problems.]

As soon as the ghost finished speaking, the will that was watching him turned aggressive. The forces gathered together and

began

to press Taesan and push it away.

“hmm.”

Taesan looked at the energy of hostility and rejection contained in his enormous will.

It contained only one thing.

you don’t deserve

It was the power of such a will.

‘It’s a qualification.’

It was not difficult to understand what Taesan meant.

The Demon King was a device that destroyed the world. The prophecy was the conditions and trials to defeat such a demon king

.

And it is a hero who defeats the demon lord, and the hero has to be a resident of that world.

It seemed that only beings who originated from this land could be acknowledged by the world.

Taesan born on Earth was impossible.

However, Taishan did not go away.

He was not feeling any burden as he let go of the will of the world.

“Compared to the world of Harfran, it is absurdly weak.”

[That’s because all the will in the world came together. It’s a bit difficult to compare because you’ve become a similar being to the demon king.]

At this level.

Taesan focused his mind.

Gathering their wills together, they drove toward the will of the world.

Whoops!

With the wave of power, the will of the world is distorted. Taesan moved forward slowly. As if the world’s will was desperate, it expressed its power, but everything was blocked by Taesan’s will.

“I will save the world on my own. You just need to qualify.”

As they advanced, they saw a small orb.

It was similar to the world itself seen in Hafran’s world, but the power contained within it was very humble.

Taesan pressed the sphere violently. The sphere trembled and slowly released its power.

[Excessive. It’s pitiful too.]

The ghost murmured quietly. A force from the sphere began to slowly fly towards Taesan.

That is one of the powers against the Demon King.

[Artifacts of Carvert. Just take it out.]

Taesan pulled out his sword. Then, the power of flying was slowly absorbed into Carvert’s relic.

[You gained the world’s recognition and earned the qualification to save the world.]

There are a total of five trials. It seemed that if he passed all the trials, he would gain new strength. the ghost said quietly.

[I couldn’t fulfill the prophecy…but it would be different with you. You will be able to gain the power to defeat the Demon King.]

Taesan came out. The eyes of Bard Ray, who had been waiting, widened.

“You came out quickly. I thought it would take quite a while.”

“It wasn’t difficult.”

“Is the power exploding and fluctuating like that in the first place? It was like fighting a battle. Amazing.”

Taishan didn’t say anything. Bardray grinned.

“good. Then let’s talk about the next prophecy.”

Bard Ray took Taesan and started explaining.

“Twice! Do you remember the contents of the ordeal?”

“It was about passing the trials of those who have reached the state of being at the center of the world.”

“At the center of this world is sword magic. Either way, there are those who have reached the limits of their power .

The moment they reach the realm, they enter a small island in the center of the world. And cut off from the world and live their own lives.”

Bard Ray sipped the tea.

“Passing through their ordeal is the second ordeal. It won’t be easy. It is difficult to obtain proper information because it blocks access from the outside, but it has enough power to destroy the kingdom that was trying to invade the island.”

“All right.”

Taesan said calmly. Bard Ray

muttered as if he was very sorry.

“It was also the ordeal I was looking forward to the most when I tried to become a hero.”

Those who have reached a state and cut themselves off from the secular world.

As Bard Ray, who pursued the sword, they were the ones he wanted to meet at least once.

“How much power do you really have? I want to follow you.”

“No. Your Highness the Prince.”

Laughter echoed behind Bardray. The golden-haired woman chuckled.

“The hero’s ordeal is something he has to go through alone. Besides, His Highness the Prince has a mission to protect the empire, right?”

“That’s right. Levancia.”

Bardray smiled and turned to look at Levantia.

Bard Ray’s gaze at her was full of affection.

Even without reading the will, it was possible to know what Bard Ray’s feelings for Levantia were.

“But I can’t help but be interested. How could

it not be’?”

“No. majesty. You have to protect me too, right?”

Levantia let out a soft laugh.

[It would be nice to be next to you. Before the obvious becomes unreasonable.]

The ghost looked at the two and said gloomily. His voice probably wouldn’t reach the two of them, but it seemed like he couldn’t stand it if he didn’t say it.

After the story, Taishan asked as he ran towards the center of the world.

“Did you love her?”

[It’s love. okay. I loved her,”

said the ghost quietly. The voice was completely subdued.

[It was an arranged marriage at first. It’s beautiful, but I thought it was just harmony. But the more we meet, the more we talk, the more we see the invisible. In the end, I fell in love with her.]

It was a distant feeling from Taesan. At least since he had descended the labyrinth, he hadn’t felt anything like that

.

[I thought I would be with her for the rest of my life. I had no doubt that we would grow old and die together. But…]

“The Demon King appeared in that situation.”

[Yes,]

said the ghost silently.

He shut his mouth again.

Taesan looked at the ghost for a moment. But without saying anything, he kicked his feet.

Before long, Mount Tai arrived at the center of the world.

There was a small island on the shore of the lake.

Taishan crossed the river and arrived at the island. Then, as if they had been waiting, several old men in black were looking at Mount Tai.

“…Are you a world-recognized hero?”

Taesan nodded.

The old man in the front immediately frowned.

“You are weak.”

He spoke in a disappointed tone.

“I don’t feel any power. Did the world really acknowledge such a person?”

The old man clicked his tongue and turned around.

“Now that we have passed the first ordeal, we must also follow the prophecy. Follow me.”

said the old men as they entered the forest.

Taesan, who was following him, asked.

“Have you guys reached a state in your respective fields?”

“We have reached the end.”

An old man spoke in a high-pitched voice.

A sword was in his hand.

“There is nowhere else to reach. The world is just a hindrance. That’s why I settled here.”

He glanced at Taesan.

“Even if you can’t catch the Demon King, it doesn’t matter. If we go out on our own, that kind of device is nothing

.”

He had the confidence he could have because he never thought he would lose.

Taesan followed them without a word.

They stopped in front of a single magic circle. They surrounded the magic circle and put Taesan inside it.

“Go inside.”

They started to show their power.

The mutually amplifying and overlapping forces began to weigh down Mount Tai.

Koo Goo Goo!

A mighty force tramples on the spirit and seeks to subdue the body. said the old man softly.

“Give up. I don’t know how you passed the first prophecy, but you, who have no strength, cannot pass this ordeal. It would have been better if the prince of the empire had come.”

The old man clicked his tongue. In their eyes, Taishan was too weak.

It had the power to break even with the slightest pressure.

I can’t stand their ordeal. It was the moment when I was thinking of that

and trying to gather my strength.

They felt something was wrong.

Taesan endured their pressure without any change in expression.

no. The expression of enduring did not fit.

Their power was unable to reach Taesan in the first place.

The power itself was being erased by the overwhelming force.

“…uh?” “

Are you saying

we’ve reached the end just like that ?”

Taesan murmured. I thought there would be something to be gained, but I couldn’t even feel the difference in power. It was very disappointing.

[You have activated three proofs.]

What Taishan has accumulated becomes tangible and begins to affect the world. The strength of the old people is broken and their faces go white.

“Ah ah…

even with fairly weak adjustments, the elderly

couldn’t stand it. Taesan slowly stored up his strength.

[You have been recognized by those who have reached the realm of being at the center of the world.]

Qualifications have been filled.

Taesan ignored them and came out.

“If you have time, you might want to look for a place called Labyrinth.”

This is a world created by ghost memories. It may not mean anything, but Taesan left a word for them

.

He immediately moved to fulfill the third prophecy.

“Nothing.”

[It’s impossible to make the prophecy come true if it puts pressure on even the adventurers in the labyrinth.]

It was as the ghost said. Prophecy was not that difficult. If it was Bardre now, it was a level that he could handle.

But the ghost failed. couldn’t save the world.

Taishan

reached the deep valley by moving his feet.

Upon entering it, I felt a being with great power.

[A visitor has come.]

With a soft sound, the presence in the valley appears. The reptilian scales and huge wings are revealed to the world.

[You are a blue dragon. Encountered Carreista.]

It was the same as the golden dragon I saw during Beguesetta.

At that time, Taishan felt an overwhelming power over the dragon and

a sense that he could never defeat it.

But now it was different.

‘Is it worth it?’

Taesan looked at the dragon quietly. Looking at Mount Tai, the dragon quietly exclaimed in admiration.

[you. That’s strong. I can’t possibly not know of an existence like you.]

The dragon muttered that and looked at the ghost. Soon, the dragon shook his head as if he knew.

[okay. This is a world embodied by God. That means that this world was destroyed by the demon king

.]

The dragon, who grasped the situation, regretted it.

[Prince of the Empire. You failed to save this world. So he met his death while going down the labyrinth.]

[…Yes.]

[It was unfortunate. If it’s the strength you feel right now. no. Even if I had only half of that, I could have saved this world.]

[Wrong.]

The ghost denied the dragon’s words.

[Even if I didn’t have that kind of power, I could have done it well enough even for me here. I was able to win.]

[But you failed.]

[That’s what they are!]

The ghost raises its voice in tears.

[Those ugly, stupid bastards! Because I ruined everything!]

The dragon smiles quietly.

[I know. Unreasonable and foolish. But including that is the ordeal. Only by overcoming irrationality

are you qualified to become a hero.]

[I can’t accept it.]

The ghost growled. The dragon affirmed the wrath of the ghost.

[I understand. But it’s already been like this. It can’t be helped. We can’t turn back time.]

[No.]

The ghost muttered quietly.

[It’s not just like that.]
