153. Lightsaber (1)
―Han Seong-yoon. you will die here It’s also very miserable.
After hearing Dam Chun-wu’s words, I felt my whole body stiffen.
He had seen me face off against the god of battle and knew I was stronger than the average challenger.
But…
“…what does it mean to die?”
Dam Chun-wu looked at me and said with confidence that he would die without incident.
My body stiffened because it was absurd.
Perhaps, by comparing it to death, he was trying to say that this ordeal was hard.
but.
―It means exactly what you heard. Sungyoon Han. If the background of this ordeal is Heavenly Mugo, you will die.
It wasn’t.
He was still certain that I was going to die.
It’s not even that the ordeal is hard enough to die.
is to really die.
“…Is even a god incarnated in this heavenly palace?”
It’s not that a god descends, but if he manifests, he understands.
Against the god of battle that lasted until Advent, I barely won.
At that time, if the god of battle had not descended but had incarnated, I would have died.
-no. Not like that. The owner who built Cheonmugo became a god or a god, but he is not involved in this place.
However, Damcheonwu said that he would not even descend, let alone appear.
I asked him with a puzzled tone.
“Then why do you think I will die?”
―You seem absurdly conceited that you drove out the descending god of battle. Aren’t you the one who achieves apostleship through a contract with God?
“…”
―At that time, you did not completely win the victory. Just miraculously survived. Can you call it your own victory?
“But I am strong even without apostolicization.”
-Know. Even as a warrior, not as a challenger, you are a strong fighter. I think I realized it belatedly, but my talent is also sufficient. But you don’t know the real genius.
“…?”
―There are people in the world who are sometimes gifted with talents that are unreasonable. An intense talent that would blind even the eyes of a god. Such geniuses are of a different class.
“Can’t you tell me more clearly?”
―…I have no patience. 100 years ago, when I was not yet a blood demon of the main school, there was a genius in a place called Cheonma Shinkyo.
“A genius….”
―Heavenly Demon (天魔). He was an existence that could be said to be on a different level from the average person. I still remember that monstrous talent.
Dam Chun-wu spoke in a sentimental tone as if he were retrieving the past.
―It is… Yes, violence. It was a talent that could only be described as violent. That genius killed his father and usurped the position of the leader of the Chunma Shinkyo.
I stood in the hallway and listened to Dam Tianyu’s words.
– Even at the age of only 20 years old.
“….”
―Murim’s luxury men said this about him. The best in Gogeum. It will be stronger than any first person in the world. I was not able to become the number one person in the world at the time because I was overshadowed by that genius.
“I’m not curious about that, so please tell me the main point.”
―…That genius entered a certain Vigo on the day he turned 20 years old. Breaking the pact of prohibition of entering regardless of the true evil spirits. Do you know what I mean now?
“…Could it be that the genius entered into which remark was Cheonmugo?”
-That’s the correct answer. The 20-year-old Heavenly Demon will exist in this Cheonmu High School. So I was sure I would die.
It was absurd.
“…I’m only 20 years old, and that’s when I didn’t have a tower. How strong can I be if I’m strong?”
―At times like this, I realize that you are from a minor dimension. you just don’t know a true genius. The ability to set everything on fire.
“…I don’t know, but no matter how strong it is, I have the confidence to survive.”
―Surviving is possible. But then can you pass the ordeal on the 17th floor?
“That’s…”
-I’m sure not. There’s no way the tower will give you such a terrible ordeal. Perhaps you will fight the Heavenly Demon. So, the TOP must have given some preference.
Damcheonwu said with coolness.
-Killing unmanned soldiers, I noticed that you became stronger. That must have been a privilege given by the top. It would be good to kill those inside this vigo if possible.
He spoke in a shaky voice as if taking out the fear engraved in his instincts.
―…Otherwise it would be difficult to deal with that monster.
Seriously, Dam Chun-wu was afraid of the monster inside this Vigo.
***
I was told I would die, but what I had to do didn’t change.
I quickly walked down the hallway and reviewed the advice I received from Dam Chun-wu.
-Never be discouraged. As long as you are alive, chances are there. So until then, it’s better to make the most of the tower’s perks and save your strength.
He stressed that I would not be broken mentally.
Most of them said that if they saw a genius, they would have a fire demon in their heart, but to be honest, I thought it wouldn’t be the case.
It was worth it.
‘I’ve been acutely aware of the lack of talent so far.’
Of course, it’s not ‘real talent’, it’s something like skill aptitude that should be called ‘fake talent’
.
As if I was blessed with aptitude related to the system, I saw many great people, and there were times when I was so desperate that I wanted to tear myself to shreds.
But now I had no intention of despairing.
The higher I climbed, the stronger I would become, so I had no intention of blaming talent or anything like that anymore.
So the heart will not be broken.
‘So let’s just think about preparing for this trial.’
Anyway, I had quite a bit of last resort.
Dam Chun-wu’s words were not to be ignored, but there was no need to be swayed by them.
‘Don’t get caught up in it and just do what you normally do.’
After passing through the hallway, a new space appeared.
「I have entered the dark sky road of Cheonmu High School.」 The lonely
road that urged each other to fight madly led to an unknown cave called the dark sky road.
「A penalty exclusive to the domain of the dark sky will be given.」
At the same time, I suddenly felt that my magic circuit was shutting down.
“Temporarily, magic circuit operation will be impossible in that
area
.
”
‘…Even in Solitude, it was not possible to operate the Gim, but the penalty is more severe in Darkness.’
But there was nothing to worry about.
「Explorer’s Handcrafted Gloves (B+) exclusive effect, ‘Ecological adaptation’ is activated.」
「Magic circuit is not sealed.」
「Agility increases by +4 while Ki is unavailable.」
Before entering the previous ordeal This is because the items I purchased did a good job for me.
Immediately, the formless aura that sealed the magic circuit disappeared, and the body became lighter.
‘Certainly, it’s good to have good items.’
I didn’t know that it would be so effective for a subject that is a B+ grade item.
Of course, it doesn’t remove all the restrictions itself, but the performance itself was very good.
It’s quite disappointing that forced breakthrough or exorcism doesn’t activate…
‘Forced breakthrough requires my magic power to be higher than the magic power used for restraint, so I can’t help it.’
Exorcism was no different.
Magic resistance itself is not properly applied when the magic level is overwhelmingly high, such as forced breakthrough.
Since it was said to be a space created by a powerful being like a godhead, it is natural that forced breakthrough or exorcism would not be activated.
‘Rather, it’s kind of strange to be able to remove restrictions with something like an item.’
It was not a waste to invest more than tens of thousands of points to buy this item.
As I was satisfied with that, a new message came to my mind.
「Find a way through the invisible darkness.」
「Only 4 people on a first-come, first-served basis are allowed to leave the Dark Sky Road.」
「When competitors are eliminated, the darkness that fills the field of vision gradually disappears.」 First-come-first-
served basis.
A system message implied that there was a set number of people who could leave this space.
That’s probably because if you can’t get out of this space, you’ll get an immediate failure judgment.
I faced the flowing darkness as if it had completely blocked my view.
I had experienced this once in the previous gateway.
And the solution was also realized then.
「The skill ‘Hwaryong’s Eye’ is strongly activated.」
Like a pheasant instead of a chicken
.
In fact, the skill Hwaryong’s Eye was a little better in terms of securing sight than Gigam.
It’s just that it’s easier to detect the shapeless aura of mana.
‘Well, there are things I often use in terms of preferences.’
However, no matter what I used, there was no problem with the vision securing function.
As soon as the skill is activated, even an invisible blind spot is detected, and the detection range is widened in an instant.
10m 20m 30m…
The detection range that gradually expands as if expanding the area did not stop until the cave was thoroughly explored.
and.
‘It’s a fairly large cave, and the number of people is… about 20 people.’
After scanning the entire cave, I learned something new.
Not only the people who entered this place, but also the shining path engraved on the floor caught my eye.
The road, which seemed to have been connected with shining lines, seemed to lead someone.
[The skill ‘sixth sense’ is strongly activated.]
For some reason, I was certain that I would be able to get out of this place if I followed that.
‘Since the skill has been activated, it’s probably certain.’
Even the name is Amcheon Road, so it must be clear that it feels like finding a way.
Originally, it would be a section where I had to wander with my eyesight, senses, and even magic circuits sealed, but…
that doesn’t work for me.
As long as I have the skill to see through the invisible, I can’t stop myself.
‘The skill is really good.’
The Moorim dimension challengers talk about how their skills are borrowed, but…
It is an undeniable reality that they are superior to martial arts in some areas.
It was the moment when he quickly moved along the shining path.
「The achievement ‘Guide’ has been achieved.」
「The skill ‘Mini Map (D+)’ is created.」
Suddenly, the achievement was achieved and a new message appeared.
「The special task ‘Guide to Death’ begins.」
「You realized where to go faster than anyone else.」 「
But your competitors didn’t realize where to go.」
「Those who get lost before encountering enemies at the next gateway. Give death to them.”
“When the goal of a special task is met, all stats temporarily increase by +4.”
Looking at the special task that requires killing, I smiled lightly.
Even if it wasn’t so, I was contemplating how many people I should kill…
‘That’s good.’
It seemed that all competitors should be eliminated.
