_ Volume 17 Episode 15
415. 82nd floor Lemegeton (4)
Taesan checked the sky filled with sea urchins here and there.
First of all, sea urchins were not living things.
A demon now gone. It was more like an automatic device powered by the remnants of Belial. It was just a tool to deal with enemies invading the territory.
The spines that the sea urchin shoots seemed to respond automatically if an intruder approached more than a certain amount.
Taesan continued to check, and Belial’s attendant, who had been watching him, could not stand it and asked.
“What are you doing?”
“It has nothing to do with you. You don’t have to worry about it.”
Taesan gave an appropriate answer. The servant kept his mouth shut.
The ghost noticed what Taesan was doing.
[Get a skill?]
Taesan nodded. The Ghost
wasn’t too surprised.
Taesan has always tried to acquire skills in any situation. This is the dead world of Belial. Given the unusual environment, it was not difficult to predict that Taesan would try something.
[I’m curious. What skill is this time?]
“I don’t know.”
[…Don’t you know?]
“Because it’s a skill I’ve never acquired or thought about before.”
Taesan said calmly.
He calculated the conditions for numerous skills and actually acquired them.
However, in his previous life, he was always an Easy Mode player. The environment and circumstances were very limited.
At least the environment like now did not exist in Easy Mode.
That’s why Taesan didn’t know what skills he could get under these conditions. I had no choice but to try and fail over and over again.
Taesan organized his thoughts.
The sea urchins spread out in the sky poured out their thorns all at once whenever Mount Tai moved
.
It was an attack that engulfed an entire space with little to avoid.
‘It’s not difficult to block.’
All of them could have been stopped with just one command. But you can’t get anything that way.
Taesan did some experiments.
First, it blocked the manifestation of the sea urchin’s power itself. It pulled together and completely suppressed it. The thorns were blocked by the strike of the mountain and could not come out.
But Tae-San didn’t get anything.
I didn’t think that I would succeed the first time, so I tried another attempt without being disappointed.
This time, it was the offset of all the powers that were expressed. It separated the magic and wrapped around the sea urchin, blocking all the trajectories of the thorns pouring in from all directions. As a result, the spines could not advance and were blocked right in front of the sea urchin.
However, this time, the system window notifying the acquisition of the skill did not appear.
Taesan was not disappointed. It was only natural that there would be
a lot of trial and error in acquiring the skill in the first place .
Taesan continued experimenting with this and that, and the ghost asked in a curious tone.
[Can you acquire skills even though there is such a difference in strength and rank?]
“There are some skills that can be obtained regardless of strength and rank.”
If it is a skill close to the fundamental condition that has nothing to do with strength or rank, the probability is low, but it is possible to acquire it.
The most representative example was addition. In addition, against numerous enemies
, I had to continuously apply the same attack without losing my posture even once to increase the damage.
It didn’t matter what level the opponent’s strength was.
What Taesan was trying to acquire this time was that kind of skill.
Taesan shook her head for a moment and then moved on quietly. At the same time, thorns rained down from the sea urchins in the sky.
Taesan waved his hand lightly. The moment the thorns touched Taesan, they broke and scattered.
Taesan observed sea urchins.
He did not simply direct his gaze, but
focused and contemplated.
Then, something similar to the will of a sea urchin began to appear.
The Will of All Things is not a skill that only grasps the will and emotions of life. If you focus your mind and expand your senses, you can literally read the will of everything that exists in the world.
Simply put, this was possible now.
Taesan stepped up.
At the same time, the will felt in the sea urchin rapidly changed.
The wave of will that erupts. And
where that will is concentrated.
Read and understand all of them.
Taesan took a step. At the same time, the thorns poured out all at once.
Taishan did not avoid or block the pouring thorns. I just stood there and waited.
Koo Goo Goo Goo!
The thorns pierce the earth roughly.
[…Huh?]
The ghost was startled.
Among the densely packed thorns,
Taesan stood unscathed.
It was as if the thorns had deliberately avoided Mount Tai.
[How?]
“The will, not the movement. Something like this is possible.”
Reading the movement is, after all, reading the movement of power and then avoiding it.
However, will was a step before the manifestation of power. Taesan read the will of the sea urchins and figured out in advance where the thorns would shoot. Then I
moved to a place where there were no thorns.
He did the same thing when dealing with the fallen apostle, but it was possible because the apostle lost his intellect due to the spiritual fall and only his strength and instincts remained. Above all, it was the first time he had succeeded against an inanimate object.
“Can you read the will of an inanimate object?”
It was difficult to understand in many ways, perhaps because it was a skill of the world itself.
And this attack confirmed another one.
The sea urchin did not recognize Taesan and attack
it.
Rather, it was more like a conditioned reflex response. When an intruder approaches a certain distance, it spreads its own power and pierces all directions.
In an instant, dozens of conditions and skills that fit them passed through my mind.
And Taesan finally found something close to the correct answer.
‘Pouring attacks.’ What
kind of skill can I get
if I don’t dodge or block as if I’m taking a walk in it and don’t take any damage?
“Shall we try?”
This is possible. Convinced, Taishan continued to experiment.
How much will can be read, how accurate it is, how much space is between the thorns, and how Taesan reacts when it moves. I started figuring it all out.
that buck
Taesan moved. A strong will was expressed in the sea urchin. The direction and trajectory of the thorns
began to be read.
Taesan realized that he couldn’t avoid the thorns by walking forward this time.
All you need is to walk like a walk. Do not take evasive action. It was necessary to induce the opponent’s attack.
The trajectory of the thorns that were automatically shot changed according to the movement of Taesan.
then.
Taesan moved his step and waved his finger.
Then, the will of the sea urchin changed dizzily according to the fingers.
I was able to guide the trajectory of the thorns to some extent in the direction of moving the whole body, not just moving forward.
Identify conditions and solutions one by one. I constantly try and check how to move to induce the trajectory of the thorns and how to make the process natural.
and two hours later.
“Sugs”
Taesan finished his preparations and expanded his senses. I read all the wills around me and lifted my feet.
At the same time, the sea urchin feels a will.
Prepare to shoot out thorns to fend off intruders. After reading all of its trajectory and direction, Taesan stepped forward.
Koo Goo Goo Goo!
Thorns pierce the earth.
But it doesn’t reach Taesan.
It was as if the thorns had moved to avoid Mount Tai.
Taesan raises her feet again. I feel the determination from the golden sea urchin again.
read it
The will of the thorn, which splits into thousands of branches, is grasped in its trajectory and movement even before the power is expressed.
As a result, you notice that it is unavoidable.
But there was no problem. Taesan lightly waved his arm. It was literally meaningless movement that was neither defense nor evasion.
However, that alone changed the determination felt in the sea urchin.
The sea urchin is an automatic defense device. Respond according to the opponent’s movements. Even if it’s
a meaningless movement, I try to read it all.
After two hours of experimentation, I had already figured out how to change the trajectory.
After confirming that the trajectory had changed, Taesan stepped forward. The thorn shoots again. This time, too, it does not reach Taesan.
that buck
take a step
Koo Goo Goo!
Thorn shoots out.
But it doesn’t reach Taesan. I twisted the trajectory of the thorns by moving my arms, legs, and body.
[…Wow.]
The ghost exclaimed.
Avoiding thorns itself was not surprising since it was something I had seen all along.
But now, Taesan’s movements were very natural.
Koo Goo Goo!
The thorns pour down and fill Taishan’s field of vision. It was an attack that literally took over the entire space with no space to escape
.
In the midst of that, Taesan continued to walk forward as if taking a walk.
It seemed that the pouring thorns were deliberately avoiding Mount Tai.
It was a sight that even felt a sense of wonder.
And when I walked a total of twenty steps.
[You take no damage from the attack inflicted on you without any attack, evasion, or block. Acquired the special always-on skill [
Those who hide in the shadows].]
As soon as I acquired it, the thorns that were pouring naturally bypassed Mount Taesan.
It wasn’t that Taesan read his will and avoided it. Literally, the thorns spontaneously fell out of the mountain.
With that alone, he could guess what kind of skill he had obtained.
[You activated Zefar’s Black Storm.]
Kagagagak!
Taishan smashed all the sea urchins. The thorns fell all at once, but the black storm engulfed them all and swept them away.
“Wow!”
” what!”
Other contractors who were breaking through the area from afar were startled. They got scared and distanced themselves from the direction of the storm.
Taesan felt that too, but it had nothing to do with him, so he turned off his mind and opened the skill window.
[Special permanent skill: Hiding in the shadows]
[Proficiency: 1%]
[An attack that does not recognize you will not hit you.]
The ghost laughed.
[You really get all kinds of skills. What is this again?]
“An unaware attack.”
The effect was not difficult to guess. If something like a sea urchin approaches, it automatically attacks the surroundings, or if the opponent doesn’t know the mountain, the attack doesn’t hit.
“Is this the limit?”
After examining the skill in detail, the ghost also realized what Taesan’s words meant.
[There is a prerequisite attached.]
All the opponents Taesan would fight in the future were immortals or higher.
It was impossible to miss an opponent in a battle with them.
In the end, in order to use the skill properly, it was necessary to hide from the opponent, but creating such a situation was quite tricky.
“doesn’t care.”
However, Taesan spoke calmly.
“This is enough to win.”
Numerous challenges and attempts to acquire skills.
There were many times when the skills he managed to acquire after years of hard work were useless in actual battles.
Using that experience, filtering and filtering was the same skill as copying.
If this was a skill that was not expected or attempted, it was satisfactory enough.
[Is that so?]
Actually, the one who hides in the shadows wasn’t such a low-level skill.
It was a constant-activating type that did not consume mana, and as long as he hid himself, he could easily avoid attacks from high-ranking opponents. Even a ghost who said that would have been very happy if he had acquired this skill while alive.
It was only that the skills Taesan had acquired so far were of different levels, so they could only be compared.
[My senses are also paralyzed.]
The ghost grunted.
Taesan thought about how to use the skill.
‘Stealth.’
Stealth is changed by the effect of the ability sword, and if you hide from an opponent, you escape from all detection for 1 second. I was able to meet the conditions of the newly acquired skill.
‘I want to be able to use it as a way to cover my body with a partial world change.’
If you decide to use it, there are many ways to do it. I decided to figure out the efficiency gradually.
Satisfied, Taishan moved on.
He moved forward without hesitation. Then another obstacle came in.
This time it was not a sea urchin, but a small creature.
A being with ugly eyes flapping its wings.
They were so small that they could not be seen and were as numerous as locusts. He started attacking Taishan to kill foreign enemies invading his master’s territory.
Taesan clenched his fists lightly.
quadruple.
Thousands of beings were crushed and disappeared all at once.
[Aren’t you trying to get a skill this time?]
“I’ve already tested all of these conditions.”
Taesan said calmly. Small invisible beings. The skills that could be obtained using it
had already been confirmed in the previous life.
And most of the skills he acquired at that time were useless.
[Have you already done that?]
The ghost laughed. Taesan continued to advance towards the mighty power he felt in the distance.
Level up with skill
