176. In-depth (2)
To be honest, pets were unfamiliar to me.
Among the hunters, there were those who specialized in summoned beasts and those who dealt with nature spirits… but
I thought it had nothing to do with me.
It was worth it.
Because this also requires a skill.
‘Exactly, I need the affinity that can be obtained with the skill.’
It was even more difficult to obtain the skill to deal with the natural spirits, as well as the skill to make contracts with summoned animals.
At least that was before the tower appeared.
Even though it’s a rare skill, the power gained from a contract with a summoned beast or spirit isn’t great… To be
honest, even after entering the tower, I didn’t feel the reason to buy it, so I lived my life almost forgetting about the existence of a pet.
So, I had no intention of signing a summons.
However…
「The skill ‘Fairy Affinity’ is activated.]
「Affinity with all fairies increases significantly.」
The newly acquired skill through the labyrinth achievement made it possible to contract with fairies… “Ah ah…. I’m… subservient to a human…”
In
addition, I didn’t hesitate because I had a reason to proceed with the contract with this corrupt fairy.
「Contract conditions satisfied.」
「Signed a subordination contract with the fallen fairy ‘Ea’.」
「From now on, it will be possible to summon the fallen fairy ‘Ea’.」
And…
「Giant Tree Labyrinth 3rd Floor [Corrupted Fairy’s The authority to protect [the domain of control] will be transferred to the challenger, Seongyoon Han.」
「It will be possible to freely cross the 3rd floor of the giant tree labyrinth [the domain of the fallen fairy’s control].
」
As soon as the subordination contract was completed, the third-floor guardian authority passed to me.
I heard something shaking loudly around me, and then a message came to mind.
「The layer breakthrough conditions of the 3rd floor of the giant tree labyrinth [the area governed by the fallen fairies] are reset.」
「Please set a new layer breakthrough condition.」
“This is it.”
I was dubious, but I really came to rule the labyrinth layer.
To think that a human who came as a challenger dominated the hierarchy of the giant tree’s labyrinth…
To be honest, it was surprising, but that didn’t mean he was given tremendous authority.
“Even with the authority to protect the hierarchy, is it enough to change the conditions for breaking through the hierarchy?”
“In the first place, since I finished dominating the third floor a long time ago, that’s about all I can change…” “
Hmm…”
“But you can still move on to the next floor as you like without any conditions!”
“That’s right.”
Like the fallen fairy said, I can now go downstairs without any conditions.
Even my teammates seemed to think this was a huge advantage.
“…Can’t we just set the conditions and move on?”
To the extent that Katherine Bennett, who had been quiet until now, tilted her head and asked that.
“Anyway, we bought everything to buy at the shop dedicated to the labyrinth, and we should be strong enough now.”
At some point, even Chun-seok Oh said that, as if his confidence had risen, and Seung-hun Kim took over as if he were arguing.
“It’s a miracle that the level breakthrough time has been shortened this far. Now I’m satisfied and I think I can move on…”
Like he said, I knew that this was the best.
But…
“Still, I think it would be a bit disappointing to be satisfied with this.”
Originally, people’s greed has no end
.
“I think it will be okay if each challenger who crosses the floor dedicates one D-class or higher item.”
To be honest, I want to benefit a little more from my heart, but for now, this is close to the best.
That’s probably the case too…
‘Because there won’t be any challengers with C-class or higher items on the 3rd floor.’
This is because most of the challengers seen on the previous floor were armed with E-level to D-level items.
As soon as I wrote the layer breakthrough condition, a system message came to my mind as if in response.
「Determine the recipient of the item dedicated as a condition for breaking through the hierarchy.」
Without any hesitation, the recipient was chosen as me, and then messages appeared.
「Setting complete.」
「The item dedicated to breaking through the hierarchy is stored in a random space.」
「However, if the guardian has the will, the saved item will be sent to the recipient.」 The
dedicated item is stored in a place like the inventory and then sent to me. I think it will work….
This is an unexpected benefit, so I drew an arc around my mouth.
The team members who saw it spat out one word at a time.
“The challengers on the 3rd floor will see some blood. I’ll have to take all the items I’ve been collecting tenaciously in the labyrinth and go downstairs…” ”
That’s probably not the only thing. Challengers who come to the 3rd floor later will no longer be eligible to use the shop dedicated to the labyrinth.”
“Really… I’m glad we’re on the same team. Just the thought of being an enemy gives me goosebumps.”
It was as if the challengers would suffer tremendous damage due to the condition I placed….
This could be said to be a huge misunderstanding.
“Well, we made it so that we wouldn’t have to fight each other, but wouldn’t this be a mutually beneficial relationship?”
On this third floor, originally, the rule was to fight each other and kill several people.
It was not unreasonable to call it a good deed among good deeds since it was eliminated and an alternative was provided.
Of course, I can’t take responsibility for the battle between the challengers that will start from downstairs, but…
‘That’s not my concern.’
After all, that’s how the world works.
***
After setting the conditions for breaking through the hierarchy, the achievement was achieved before anyone knew it.
「Labyrinth Achievement ‘Class Domination (Unique)’ has been achieved」
「Labyrinth score +15 points obtained」
「Skill ‘Guardian (B+)’ is created」 「
Also, it was a unique achievement, but the created skill’s ability is quite good It was interesting.
tutelar.
When you designate a target and area to protect, your ability will increase accordingly.
That was the ability of this skill.
‘It’s fine.’
To be honest, no matter how many skills I have, I’m not good enough, so if I have them, I’ll be able to use them as much as I want.
Satisfied with that small income, I soon found the passageway down to the 4th floor.
no.
To be honest, it was a little bit hard to say that I had explored it.
It’s just…
“Hey, this is the place where you can go down to the 4th floor…”
It’s just that I asked a fallen fairy to guide me.
At this point, there is no need to use the corrupt fairy anymore, so I gestured to him.
“Don’t follow me, stay on the third floor. You don’t know how to do anything even if you follow me anyway.”
It was a congratulatory order.
“I know how to do a lot of things…”
But the fallen fairy became sullen and clung to me, probably lacking in understanding.
“I can’t play anymore, so being on the 3rd floor is just boring!”
I thought about kicking him out for a while, then asked what he knew how to do.
I don’t know if it’ll be useful though.
“Do you know what to do?”
“I know a lot, I can use magic well, and uh…”
“If that’s all, there’s really no place to use it…”
“And! I can even make you an ego sword!”
Hearing the corrupt fairy’s urgent cry, I immediately opened my eyes wide.
Is it an ego sword?
‘Are you talking about an ego sword like Damcheonwoo?’
It was a little unexpected skill, so I asked what kind of ego sword could be made… but
the answer that came back was quite far from what I expected.
“That… I can make an Ego Sword by nesting in the sword…”
An Ego Sword with a Corrupt Fairy dwelling in it.
It didn’t seem very strong.
“I see. Okay, so stay here until I call. Enough then.”
I didn’t think it was necessary, so I decided to keep it for now.
“Don’t go! Can you make a really good Ego Sword!? It can also improve sword performance a lot…!”
Even if it passed like this anyway, it was possible to summon a corrupt fairy whenever I wanted.
‘If I think I’ll need it later, I’ll try it out.’
Soon, I went down the stairs, leaving the swarming corrupt fairies alone…
“Because you have qualified to go down the giant tree labyrinth 3rd floor [fallen fairy’s domain], you will receive a reward.” “[
Item/Power/Skill] ], you can choose two of them to restore two of your abilities.”
Soon, a message popped up saying that you can restore your abilities as you did on the previous floors.
I had already thought about what to restore.
「I selected [Authority] among [Items, Powers, and Skills].」
「Choose what you want to recover from among the sealed Powers.」
For the time being, I quickly retrieved the Authority to use at the labyrinth-only shop.
「The authority ‘Blessing of the Hero’ will be released from the seal.」
Because it is essential to increase your luck in order to draw the best perks.
「You have selected [Item] from among [Item Power Skills]」
「Choose one to retrieve from the sealed items」
And the remaining one…
「The item ‘Blood Demon Sword (A+)’ will be released from the seal. .」
I chose the main weapon that I was sorry I hadn’t had before.
Damcheonwoo, which dwells in the Blood Demon Sword, as well as the basic performance itself, is different from the sword I am using.
Therefore, it was certain that the power would greatly increase if he obtained the Blood Heaven Demon Sword.
But…
“The item grade does not match the hierarchy level.”
Originally, the high level of this item was a problem.
“As a penalty for item recovery, all exclusive effects of the item are sealed until you go to the 7th floor.” A
blood demon sword with most of the advantages sealed was given to me.
Hung!
After snatching the Blood Heaven Demon Sword from the air, I clicked my tongue and narrowed my eyes.
‘I couldn’t believe it, but are high-grade items subject to sanctions like this?’
When I browsed the item information, I could see that everything had disappeared except for the basic performance of the sword.
So, it was natural that Dam Chun-wu’s voice could not be heard.
I’m sorry, but that was only for a moment.
「I browse the labyrinth exclusive shop [privileges].」
While the team members were carefully choosing the ability to restore, I decided to do what I had to do as well.
「Your own special store will be activated.」 「A total
of 4 random cards will be provided.」
「When you press and use a random card, the card will be changed to a [item/skill/power] that can be purchased at random.”
Looking at the reason for restoring the divine protection, I cleared my mind.
“Whoa.”
And…
“All random cards are used.”
“Perks that can be purchased randomly from normal to mythic grades are determined.”
Then, the moment I touched 4 cards at the same time.
「The authority skill ‘Blessing of the Hero’ is strongly activated.」
「Luck temporarily and violently increases.
」
Brilliant golden light flashed brightly from the random card, and I was able to intuit.
This is…
「Revealing all the perks that can be bought.
」
