_ Volume 18, Episode 13
438. The gray woman on the 85th floor. Society Gardenia (6)
[You!]
Deresha resists.
but it doesn’t make any sense anymore Even the explosion of death, the final push, was blocked by Taesan with a boundary line.
Taesan’s Spirituality Rise has been activated. Brings some of the power of Societe’s body.
[Your spirit level has been activated.
Permanently lowers physical strength…]
[Your spirit level has been increased. I got the special activation skill [Necromancy].]
And it didn’t stop there.
Even the power gained through someone’s intervention, which Societe did not have, begins to bring it.
[dare! They’re trying to rob me of my authority!]
Tersha starts to run amok. Using the collapsing body of Societ, he tries to push the spiritual rise.
But it’s no use.
Spirituality rise ignores Thersha’s resistance and steals the power she gave her.
[You bastard…!]
With an angry voice, Deresha is completely exiled.
Quadduk.
Taesan draws his sword. The power bestowed by Thersha begins to dwell in Taesan.
[Your spirit level has been activated. Acquired special activation skill [Cradle of Death]]
So Siet’s body completely collapsed. There was nothing left.
Taesan looked at the floor for a moment and swung his sword.
While Taesan was finishing So Siet, Bad Ray was aiming for Taesan’s back.
Kagagak!
Swords collide. Bard Ray uses a swordsmanship close to that of a god, and unleashes Taesan’s sword.
But the Society no longer exists.
Taishan’s magic and black magic are manifested without any hindrance.
[You have activated Baal’s Jet-Dark Space Surge.] The
space engulfed in the darkness summoned in the labyrinth rushes toward Bardray.
Bard Ray, who was blocked by the space, was pushed back.
“…That doesn’t help much for being confident. After all, God is not something to be trusted.”
Bardray frowned. Tae San raised his sword and pointed it at him.
“Are you thinking of continuing?”
Most of his cards were discovered by Taesan, and even So Siet was destroyed. Bard Ray’s victory was close to impossible.
But he raised his sword with an unwavering face.
“I can’t beat you. So what do you mean! If you can’t overcome the impossible, you don’t deserve to be called a hero! I’ve reached this point, prepared for everything and achieved what was said to be impossible!”
Momentum sweeps the labyrinth.
Bardray shouted.
“It is my job to make the impossible possible! come! adventurer! I will kill you and claim victory!”
The warrior kept his word. Even though there was no chance of victory, he continued to move for victory.
Taesan also sincerely rushed to defeat Bardray.
[You have activated Great Collapse.]
Coo Goo Goo!
A magical sphere that destroys everything is implemented in the labyrinth. Bard Ray
quickly evades by throwing himself. Taesan chases after that trajectory and throws a sword.
Kagagak!
The swords collided and Bard Ray’s wrists moved.
The technique reached the limit, and the hand holding the sword of Taishan was very gently lowered.
Bard Ray thrust his sword into Taesan’s empty chest. Taishan didn’t stop.
[Your first attack, absolute nullification has been activated.]
Bard Ray’s attack is erased.
His pupils dilate. Taesan stabs the sword as it is.
[You activated Blade of Fighting Spirit.]
[You activated Addition.]
Kwajik.
[88977 damage to Bard Ray.]
[Bard Ray’s life-threatening awakening has been activated.]
[Bard Ray’s final battle has been activated.
]
It was a single hit. A few always-on skills
were activated, but they were meaningless.
After dozens of attempts, successful blows became meaningless, and Bardray himself ended the battle with just one mistake.
Bard Ray shouted while vomiting blood.
“This is your victory! adventurer!”
The ghost watched his second death without closing his eyes.
* *
[Your level has risen.]
[Your spirit level has been raised. Permanently lowers physical strength…]
[Your spirit level has been increased. Ability Sword proficiency is 2%, attack proficiency is 1%, haste proficiency is 2%…]
[Your spiritual proficiency has been activated. Acquired the soul skill [Divine Sword Union].]
A ghost is a person who handles a sword.
The proficiency of skills related to him
has risen overall.
At the same time, the body of the ghost disappears.
[Cleared the 85th floor.]
[Your level has risen]
[Your level has risen.]
[You have obtained a ferocious broken sword.]
[You have obtained ???]
So Siet’s death.
The ghost’s quest is over.
[Congratulations on the victory.]
Excirea, who withdrew to the other side,
appeared again.
[You have successfully passed my ordeal. Adventurer.]
“Did you get what you wanted?”
[Enough.]
Satisfaction radiated from Exirea’s voice.
[I am the god of lust. He knows better than anyone else the weight of the ghost’s desire for hope. Among the mortals I’ve ever seen, it’s the weight that I can count on my fingers.]
Lust is affection and desire.
Exirea is in charge of the concept of desire itself. If that’s what Exirea was saying, it was the unmistakable truth.
[But he laid down his desire for you while traveling with you. That alone lets you know who you are. More than anything else, I could see the troublesome Tersha getting flustered. That alone was worth it.]
“Are you not on good terms with Lord Sha?”
[She is
one of the oldest gods. He is a god who has existed since the birth of the world. Maybe that’s why he nags about this and that.]
Excilea held on to a sneer.
[I didn’t like that look, so I wanted to tease her at least once, but I ended up doing it like this.]
Exirea said happily.
[You showed several things. me from now on Excilea will help you.]
“Thank you.”
[Thanks to him. In the end, the one who decided everything
was the ghost next to you.]
I hear a long, thin laugh.
[To think that someone with such a desire would lay it down for someone else. I mean, it’s not something you can easily see. I was satisfied too. So let’s give him a personal reward.]
[Excilea’s interference area has decreased.]
God’s power covers the ghost.
[Exy Leah?]
[Now you have accomplished the purpose of the quest. It is the fulfillment of one’s wish. The contract with the magician is over.]
Exirea said calmly. As he said, Taesan no longer felt the contract with the ghost. The sensation that had been felt since the second floor had completely disappeared.
[Unlike others, you exist only as a soul. When the contract ends, you can no longer stay in the Labyrinth. The soul will go where it should go. But that’s too harsh.]
The ghost’s presence, which had slowly faded, returned to normal.
[My strength is supporting your soul. I will be able to
stay by his side for a while .]
[…Thank you.]
[But I can’t stay that long. Please finish organizing your mind quickly.]
After those words, Exirea disappeared.
[I can be by your side for a while. But… it’s over.]
The end of the quest.
contract is over
This was the end of the ghost’s journey.
* * *
Taishan tried to tell the ghost something. But there was someone who showed up before that.
Koo Goo Goo!
The bricks of the labyrinth arose.
manager. Barbababamba appeared.
[It is more than necessary interference, but
is this level out of tolerance? It ended without any problems.]
“What happened again this time.”
[This is the end of the contract. In addition, a contract with a dead being like a ghost is special. If it’s the last one, I’ll have to deal with it myself.]
Barbabamba looked at the ghost. Although the form is maintained by the power of Exirea, the ghost no longer belongs to the labyrinth.
[Like those who were deceived by the God of Fall, you cannot be allowed in the Labyrinth. I have to finish processing the reward and kick it
out… but you proceeded with the quest as a labyrinth contractor. I won’t interfere for the time being.]
[Yes.]
[Hmm.] After
thinking for a while, Barbabamba asked the ghost.
[What are you going to do now?]
[Nothing to do. It’s over like this.]
[You can sign a contract with the labyrinth again if you wish.]
The ghost hesitated.
[…Is that possible?]
[Originally, it would be impossible. But this time is an exception. If you sign a new contract, I’ll let you stay in the labyrinth.]
[Then…]
[You can wish your wish to the adventurer. Of course, since it is an impossible wish, I will have to stay for a very long time. It may not be achieved until the end of the universe.]
Salvation of the perishing world.
Conquer the labyrinth to make your wish come true or turn back time.
Both were close to impossible.
[I will not force you either. The choice is yours. Are you completely free right now? It would be nice to go back to where you belong. I’ll give you a little time, so do whatever you feel comfortable with.]
After saying that, Barbababamba tried to go back.
“for a moment.”
But Tae-san caught him.
“Before that, there is something I want to ask, but was the labyrinth copied by Gosin?”
[Are you referring to the labyrinth created by the gods?]
“Not there, but here.”
[…I see what you’re talking about.]
A lot of Alone mode players, including Lee Taeyeon, never met each other. Alone mode was also copied as many as their number.
Those who attained the status of a transcendent were not affected by the late god, but the NPCs in the labyrinth were different.
“In the case of Beldencia and the Ghost, are the other labyrinths unfulfilled?”
If so, it was a very absurd story. I worked hard to achieve my wish, but in a different place, I was in a state of nothing.
[It’s a problem that wizards are also struggling with. You don’t have to worry. You’ve found the answer.]
Barbabamba replied bluntly.
[The question will end with this. then warrior. Wait for the choice.]
The vanished Barbaba Bamba said as if he had remembered it.
[And the 86th floor. I thought a lot about what to do there. It’s not an ordinary labyrinth,
but there’s nothing like it. So I made it simple.]
“Simply?”
[The floor has been pulled.]
Pulled.
It meant that the layer below was brought in.
[At that level would be dissatisfied with you, but it’s worth attacking anyway.]
Barbababamba completely left.
The ghost was silent.
#： * *
[Anyway… this is the end.]
The ghost and Taesan are related through quests. The quest is over.
Then it was his turn to reward him.
[You did a good job. very much So, I should reward him accordingly.]
Power flowed from the ghost to Taesan
. It was a generous movement of power, as if to give one’s all.
[receive. It’s my everything.]
[Carvert’s Relic: A sword with the blood of ancestors] has changed to [Carvert’s Relic: The Last Owner].] [
You have obtained the title [Storm Scar Sword Heir].]
[You have obtained a ring that announces the succession of the fallen empire.]
[You have obtained a keepsake of Bard Ray.]
Level up with skills.
