425. 83rd floor God Essence of Fall
(7)
The apostle hesitated for a moment.
There was a certainty on Taesan’s face.
The conviction that he would be able to obtain the power of the Falling God that the apostle had shown him.
The apostle also immediately thought that Taesan’s words were reliable because of the unquestioning voice.
“Bullshit!”
However, the apostle immediately
denied his idea.
impossible. The power of Taishan can never reach you.
He confidently clenched his fists and charged.
Taesan responded.
Quadruped!
The course of the battle did not change. Taishan was still overwhelming the apostles.
However, the results also did not change.
The apostle did not fall.
Rather, they began to respond to the power of Taesan.
“Wait…
” “This…
Only then do those who watch realize it. that something is wrong.
The power that Taesan showed now. One by one, I was clearly superior to them.
Compared to the princess who opened the Colosseum just a few days ago, she had reached a higher level.
And the apostle is an opponent on the same level as the princess.
There was no way to block Taesan’s attack.
However, although the apostle was in danger, the battle continued without major damage.
It was as if it was designed that way from the beginning.
“Ah…
“This.”
In an instant, despair spreads through the audience. They also realize the truth about the Colosseum.
“joy. I don’t even have to postpone anymore
.”
“It must have been a deliberate attempt to hide it, but it’s a pity.”
“Does not matter.”
The apostle laughed.
“It may be a little early, but he will be satisfied. Those who believed there was a way out realize the truth and fall off a cliff. It is a painting that Essence-nim likes very much.”
The apostle burst into madness.
“More than anything! You can’t give up! Even if there is nothing at the end of the rope,
you cannot let go of your only hope!”
The apostles clashed their fists violently.
“come! Realize your powerlessness!”
Taesan slowly drew out his sword.
the battle continued. Taishan drew numerous powers, and Sado responded to all of them.
Sado’s face showed confidence, and Taesan’s face was filled with joy.
An enemy that cannot be knocked down no matter how hard you attack. It was a
very good opponent to raise the skill level
.
Taesan raised his proficiency by using numerous skills.
Even if the ranks were similar, the difference in strength was so great that they couldn’t raise their proficiency much.
But it was satisfactory enough. Taesan significantly increased the proficiency of various skills, including black magic.
And in the process, I continued to grasp the power of the apostle.
After a rough check, Taesan took the sword.
“So far. It’s my defeat.”
“…what?”
Koo Goo Goo!
The Coliseum ended as the contestants admitted defeat. When Taishan suddenly gave up, Sado was taken aback.
“Are you going to give up like this?”
“I’ve figured out everything to find out.”
Taesan fluttered his body.
In bewilderment and confusion, Mount Tai disappeared without a word.
The apostle stood there dumbfounded
.
Taesan used the remaining points to get a decent room.
I didn’t think that I could win from the first battle.
What you want is information and strategy. I got enough of what I wished for. The proficiency also increased significantly, so
it was fine to try again after recovering.
‘It’s a pity that I didn’t get the skill.’
Among the skills I remembered, none of the conditions were met. A few new skills came to mind, but the risks were quite high. There was no need to challenge as much as he did not properly grasp the apostle’s power.
Taesan organized his thoughts.
An apostle is a boss that cannot be defeated.
No matter how much stamina is reduced, it will be recharged. Respond to Taesan’s skill to gain new strength.
“And respond to borderline.”
This was the first time he had intervened in the border itself.
But Taishan wasn’t too surprised.
Boundaries were strong, but not all-round. He knew that destruction was possible at the level of transcendental and immortal people. There was no reason to be surprised now.
Rather, I enjoyed the fact that I could obtain the power to interfere even on the borderline.
Knock. Knock.
There was a knock on the door.
golden princess. Diana came in.
“Taesan. Are you all right?”
“Why are you like that?”
Upon entering, Diana was taken aback.
She thought that Taesan might be shaking mentally.
However, there was no change in expression on Taesan’s face.
“no. I don’t think you need any advice from me.”
Diana asked with a calm face.
“What do you plan to do?”
“I am thinking.”
The basic structure and principles have been identified.
But I haven’t figured out a way to break it yet.
The problem is, in the end, the power of the god of falling. The point was that I had to break through myself. Why was the god of the fall so sure of his victory? It was because he was going to use his authority.
Authority is what that being has built up.
It was no wonder that Essence, the transcendent, had absolute confidence.
[How can it not be pierced by an expedient?]
“It must be difficult.”
This is the realm of the Fallen God. There was no way to allow expedients. The Beyond the Boundary skill and the eternal and immortal faith skill were also sealed.
Taesan was worried. Diana also groaned and squeezed her hair.
The damage itself went normally to the apostle.
As Taesan predicted, his physical strength would not go below 1 and would recover once it reached 1.
Then the way to win is simple.
It was enough to force the physical strength that did not go down from 1 to 0.
Taesan had the card for that.
boundary. A force that breaks order and defies laws.
With this power, he could defeat the apostle.
The god of the fall also knew about it and blocked the boundary line with his authority.
In other words, the god of the fall told me that the boundary line was the correct answer
.
‘The power of the transcendent.’
I had to drill through it.
But that is the authority of the transcendental person itself. Taesan, which has fallen into a mortal blow, can never be penetrated.
Even if it wasn’t full power.
If it was the power of the transcendent, it would be possible to make it into something that does not have the boundaries created by the fallen Taesan.
But it didn’t.
Handling authority meant being an apostle to the last. No matter how much he was an apostle of God, he could not perfectly handle the transcendental powers. Clearly there were limitations.
‘I have to break through that limit.’
But how to break through the limits?
The Power of Fall also interferes with the boundaries. It was the highest law among laws. The force within the law was absolutely impenetrable.
Taesan had previously defeated Horai’s apostles who used transcendent powers,
but it could not be said that they had pierced the powers. It was because the opponent couldn’t handle the power properly, so he was aiming for that gap.
Essence judged that Taesan was unable to pierce the power no matter what means, so it must have been such an ordeal.
Then, how about using other abilities that the Falling God may not know about?
Taesan made a conclusion.

:k
A day later, after recovering all consumed power and collecting points, Taesan opened the gold Colosseum again.
Again, the audience seats were full, but their faces did not have the same trust and expectations as before.
Everyone was sitting there with half-exasperated faces.
“…princess.”
“ah. Raynald.”
Reynald approached Diana with an emaciated face.
“Are you okay? You don’t look very good.”
“What is the point of being healthy in a place where you can’t die anyway?”
Raynald smiled bitterly.
“We were clowns. I was running around not knowing that. Princess… did you know from the beginning?”
Diana nodded. Ray Nald’s face contorted miserably.
“…I’m sorry. I didn’t know that and said stupid things to the princess.”
“no. Thanks to you, I was able to come to my senses. You don’t have to be sorry.”
“Thank you for that.”
After clearing his mind once, Raynald looked at Mount Tai.
“I thought the Colosseum wouldn’t be open for at least a few years… but did you come up with a way?”
“well.”
“Doesn’t the princess even know?”
“I didn’t answer properly. When I asked why, he said that the god of the fall might be watching.”
“That too.”
This is his domain. There was no way he was unaware of what was happening within the realm.
“But… there is a possibility, so it must have been a challenge.”
Raynald’s eyes lit up.
And the apostle showed up. He made a displeased look at Taesan
.
In the previous battle, Taishan had declared defeat. But there was no sense of victory. It was just the feeling of being used.
“I will kill you.”
The apostle gnashed his teeth.
Taesan raised his sword expressionlessly.
The battle has begun.
The composition of the battle was not different from before. Taishan overpowered the apostle, who barely blocked it.
But no one burst into exclamation
. Realizing that it was a set play, their faces sank even more.
“Ha ha ha ha ha!”
The apostle who blocked Taesan’s sword with a fist laughs.
“You can never defeat me! It is so!”
“Probably not.”
Taesan put the materials into the wrist guard. The wrist guards gobbled up all the ingredients.
And Taishan changed the world.
[You activated a partial world change
.]
It is not the world that is changed.
Taesan changes himself.
What I want is the ability to control mana.
[You activated the frozen world [Negation].]
A pitch-black chill rushes in. The apostle’s face hardened instantly.
“Ugh!”
The apostle clenches his fist and swings it.
Koo Goo Goo!
So far, the apostle has continued to gain power that has an advantage over the opponent’s power.
But this time it didn’t.
Negative magic is the fusion of black and magic. Basically, it had the superiority of all kinds of powers over the powers of this world.
In the end, the apostle was buried in the pitch-black cold air.
What a bummer!
“…what. This?”
The frozen apostle frowned
.
“You wield quite unusual powers. But it doesn’t matter.”
The apostle who came out of the ice said with confidence.
“This cannot kill me.”
“I know that.”
The power of negative magic is the absolute advantage of compatibility. You can’t completely ignore the law.
However, the apostle also does not collapse, but cannot respond.
That was enough.
Negative magic is magic mixed with the power of the old gods.
It could not be called a force within the law.
Taishan’s sword mixes black and gold, and turns gray.
Taesan swung the boundary line.
“Ha ha ha ha ha! What a fool!”
Sado mocked Taishan.
“Oh God! Your power over me! Let all who dare to oppose you fall over the precipice!”
Authority strikes Taesan. At the same
time, Taesan activated a skill.
[You activated selection exclusion.]
Maria’s authority to erase the opponent’s choice.
But nothing happens. Taesan clicks his tongue.
“Is it not an attack or does it not work with authority?”
Whatever it was, the power of the fall swallowed Mount Tai.
He intervenes in Taesan and makes all his powers fall and become meaningless.
It also included border lines.
Boundaries quickly lose their power. The black and the divine begin to separate.
You cannot kill an apostle in this state.
Taesan knew that too.
It was real from here.
[You have activated the frozen world [Unclean].]
[You have activated a mana storm [Unclean]
.]
[You have activated the bird of unquenchable flame [Unclean].] You
activate unclean magic in succession. .
All of them fall down the moment they are manifested along with the boundary line. Power is erased without meaning.
The power of the Falling God is wrapped around Mount Tai. It is impossible to escape.
Even so, Taesan did not stop.
Rather, he gathered more mana and poured his strength into it. Black and divinity were mixed again to create a boundary line.
Forces that can collapse the world endlessly begin to appear.
“…you bastard?”
The apostle’s face hardened. He too realized that something was strange.
[You have activated Great Collapse [Negation].]
A distorted sphere materializes in the world.
The power of the Falling God swallows the Great Collapse and causes it to fall.
damn
But something was different.
Power slowly flows out of the powerful gap that surrounds Mount Tai.
It was as if he had crossed the limit of his authority.
“…You bastard!”
Only then did the apostle realize what Taesan was aiming for, and his face twisted.
“dare! Are you trying to confront the power of the Great One! Don’t be funny! He is transcendent! Someone like you is absolutely untouchable!”
The transcendent dominates the concept itself.
It has a realm worthy of its divine name, and within it, it exerts an influence close to absolute.
The god of fall is a transcendental figure who controls the concept of fall.
The power of fall handled by Essence was the law of the world itself, such as an apple falling to the ground or air moving from a place with high pressure to a place with low pressure.
In order to break such authority, the opponent
had no choice but to intervene in the law with a concept.
In fact, it was impossible to respond unless it was the same Transcendentalist.
But now, Taesan was trying to break the power of the essence with force.
“That’s not for you to judge. It is a matter for me to judge.”
That’s not enough.
What he was trying to do now was to deny the law of the world itself by force. He
used borderline and denial magic all at once, but he still couldn’t pierce the power of the Falling God
.
So one more.
He needed the power to reach the transcendental being beyond immortality.
Taishan opened the magic, but it was not the black magic of the other demons.
It was Taesan’s own black magic.
[You activated Kang Tae-san’s area liberation.]
Level up with skills.
