181. Irregular (2)
Carbet.
「Absorbs one of the skills possessed by the High Lich, Carbet.」
I don’t know what the ability of the High Lich, who protects the [Dark Zone] on the 4th floor of the Giant Tree Labyrinth, is.
It was worth it.
Carbet had never directly shown me his skills, and he never gave me a chance to show them off.
I just guessed the ability related to corpse art, such as the ability to ‘control the ghost’ of Ghost Control (B+) acquired through power extraction.
But…
「The skill ‘Dehumanization (A+)’ is created.」
The skills she learned from Calbet were different from what she expected.
‘De-person?’
If you interpret the meaning, it seems to mean escaping from humans…
I couldn’t quite figure out what kind of skill this was.
‘What the hell is this?’
There was no need to hold on to my curiosity, so I immediately read the skill contents.
and.
『Skill – Dehumanization (A+)』
『Proficiency level – 21%』
『Description – You can become an existence that has escaped from the human species.』
『Effect – You start to break away from the human category.
』 After seeing the effect, I narrowed my eyes.
‘I don’t know anything…’
Except for being out of humans, I didn’t get any information.
No, it’s not like being like a lich…
It was all about being able to escape from the human species.
So there was no way I could know anything.
“…”
However, there was no change at the point of bringing the rich’s skill proficiency.
‘Can I learn something if I contemplate my body for a moment?’
I immediately closed my eyes and contemplated my whole body.
I searched for any differences compared to the previous one, but as a result, I could not find out what had changed.
He said he was out of the human category…
‘Nothing has changed.’
Other than the absurdly grandiose effect, nothing had changed.
‘This should be raised as a skill synthesis offering.’
Anyway, if you use it for synthesis later, it will turn into a useful skill.
After roughly organizing my thoughts, I looked around at the team members.
All of a sudden, everyone was recovering their abilities step by step and was close to a state where they had finished maintenance.
Well, when I was working on extracting divinity from monsters, I must have used all the stores dedicated to the labyrinth.
That’s why you can finish maintenance so quickly.
“Looks like everyone is ready to go downstairs, so let’s move.”
In response, I quickly advised my teammates to go down, and soon it was decided to go down unanimously without friction.
No worries.
‘I’ve collected information about the downstairs from Carbet, so it should be fine.’
Even while working on divinity extraction, I obtained various information from Carbet.
The 5th floor below this is a layer composed of fortress cities, a place where demons and monsters coexist, and even that the dark lord lives in the center of the fortress city… I heard all the
information I needed to hear.
All that remains is to go and verify the information yourself.
And the purpose is to secretly infiltrate into the castle where the dark lord lives without having to spend any energy.
‘Anyway, killing the dark lord is the condition to break through the hierarchy, just as the lower floor kills the lich…’
If you assassinate the dark lord and go down to the 6th floor, there won’t be a clearer that is as efficient as this one.
「You have entered the [Hell Fortress City] on the 5th floor of the Giant Tree Labyrinth.」 「
This is the place where the demons who entered the Giant Tree Labyrinth formed a
fortress city.」 .」
「Kill the Dark Lord who rules this [Hell Fortress City] and go downstairs.」 「
※However, if you are recognized by the Dark Lord, you can go downstairs without paying anything.」
By the way…
“Challenger Come on! You are all surrounded!”
The moment I quickly went down the stairs and opened the door.
An unforeseen situation occurred that I had no time to respond to.
“If you obediently demand, there will be no bloodshed!”
A majestic fortress city built of gray bricks.
Demons with horns and wings, as well as vampires and werewolves roaming the streets freely… It would not be an exaggeration to say that it
looked as if the information he had heard from Calbet was copied as it was.
so that’s the problem
‘Why did I arrive at the fortified city right away…?’
None of the information I heard from Carbet.
As soon as you enter the hierarchy, the square of the fortress city appears right away?
Before adjusting to this absurd situation, a female demon with wolf-like ears on her head shouted in succession.
“All challengers, show sincerity by donating items!”
…I didn’t know why, but it was a sound that sent heat to my head, but I listened to it while holding back.
“If you do, the Dark Lord will let you go to the next floor!”
okay.
Things are very well understood now.
Really, I feel like I know the situation so well that it makes me furious.
‘Is that why there was a condition in the system message that you can go down if you are recognized by the dark lord?’
Currently, they were demanding compulsory negotiations from the challengers.
Those who give the item can go down without a fight, and those who do not give the item cannot go down.
Even so, there was no guarantee that the item would be sent downstairs smoothly.
‘To what extent do you view people as philanderers?’
It felt like the heat was rising in my head and the blood circulating throughout my body was cooling.
“What can I do…? With so many demons, it seems impossible to fight…”
Katherine Bennett said that while feeling intimidated when she saw the demons flocking to the fort’s city square.
The female demon who shouted at me, perhaps hearing that, drew an arc around her mouth and pricked up her wolf ears.
“Relax! Because all the demons in this fortress city are good! If we keep order, we both benefit!”
Took.
It was as if I heard the sound of something snapping in my head.
“It’s ridiculous.”
Are all the people in this class just good demons?
‘No way.’
The only good monsters are dead ones.
That fact hasn’t changed, and I won’t let it change.
「Mythic < Vampire Exorcist > is activated.」
「Divine attack has the effect of < Cannot Regenerate >.」
「Divine attack has the effect of < Exorcism >.」
My eyes lit up at that. Then he took out the sword of the new moon from his waist.
Knock-!
“I…”
and…
“I don’t negotiate with terrorists.”
I spat out the plausible words I had heard before, and then activated my authority skill.
“All die.”
next moment.
「The exclusive effect of the Power Skill skill, Spirit Source Demonic Sword, “Double” is activated.」
「Consumes divine power to increase the Power skill power by [4] times.」
Kwagwagwagwang─!
A tidal wave of sword spirit overflowed as if devouring the fortress city.
***
Fighting is always close to winning.
It was even more so if it was not a small-scale battle but a large-scale battle.
So, I immediately refused to negotiate and used sword skills, but surprisingly the enemies didn’t take much damage.
“Big! That bastard refused to negotiate! Get ready for battle!”
The female demon with wolf ears shouted after barely escaping from the tidal wave of the sword.
‘Still, I’m saying I’m doing the basics.’
I was seriously thinking of killing them all, but seeing them alive like this made me feel like I should be serious.
“From now on, don’t come out from behind me.”
It was time to generously use all the skills he had learned while entering the giant tree labyrinth.
「The skill ‘Guardian’ is activated.」
「The target and area to be protected are specified.」
「A magical barrier is created in the target and area to be protected, and all stats increase by +1.
」
In the blink of an eye, the land where the team was located was wrapped in a red barrier.
In addition, each member of the team was given a small protective shield.
‘It’s worth using.’
With this, I was able to fight with a little peace of mind.
“Wait a minute! Are you going to fight alone like this again!?”
In response, Catherine Bennett immediately tried to come out of the guardian’s realm, but… she
couldn’t break through the shield of the area she had already designated as a skill.
“Anything is good, so you can give it a buff. Oh and don’t get off the reservation.”
I slightly lowered my sword, then turned my head slightly to the back and continued.
“Because I’m not sure if I can protect them once they leave the protected area.”
And soon, all of the power skills and other skills were activated, raising the power.
“What is that…! Open this! We can be strong enough!”
Well, Catherine Bennett shouted something in the middle, but the rest was quiet.
It was worth it.
‘He probably knows that he can’t help me.’
Currently, other than Kim Seung-hoon, the other team members are not very helpful to me.
Even Kim Seung-hun is barely serving one serving, so he’s just staying there.
‘Kim Seung-hun probably thinks it’s better to be inside than to give a variable to the battlefield.’
Of course, Katherine Bennett would not be ignorant of this fact.
The fact that I can’t do anything because I’m powerless is what divides me.
‘I fully understand that feeling, but it’s true that it doesn’t help…’
Within a moment, I felt the various buffs coming from my teammates and moved my body.
「All stats are temporarily increased by +4 by the authority ‘Blessing of Fire’」 「The automatic defense function is used up to 8 times
by the skill ‘Wind Shield’」
Performance has definitely improved.
Hung-!
If it’s just a slight flick of the foot, the body flies as if it has wings.
At this point, it seemed that he had reached his abilities before entering the labyrinth.
Oh, of course, it’s not really like that, but it’s just a feeling…
‘Where is the castle where the dark lord is located…’
Even with this level of ability, I had enough strength to do what I wanted to do.
‘Is that the royal castle over there?’
As soon as I was floating in the air, I found the place where the royal castle was located, and I immediately used my magical power to a great extent.
[The authority skill ‘Management of Mana’ is strongly activated.]
Then, with the footsteps that followed, I was able to leap again in the air.
Paaang—!
‘Standing in the air.’
It was actually using the martial arts that I had seen before in the library of the lightsaber.
「The mastery of the power skill skill ‘Magical Operation (A-)’ has increased by 0.01%.」
「The mastery of the Power skill skill ‘Magic Operation (A-)’ has increased by 0.01%….」
「The Power Skill ‘Magic Operation ( A-)’s proficiency increased by 0.01%…」
Well, it consumes a lot of mana, but it wasn’t something to worry about.
“A human being can fly…!? crazy! This is unbelievable…!”
“What are you looking at blankly! All those with wings, follow him! He goes to the royal castle!”
“Damn the rain…! Never let them go to the royal castle! If it can’t fly, let it crash to the ground!”
That’s also true…
「By the authority ‘Song of Vengeful Spirits’, the mind becomes increasingly vulnerable.]
「The movement speed is temporarily reduced by the authority ‘Companion of the Nether’.]
「By the authority ‘Hymn of Demons’ All damage received from demonic magic is increased by 4 times.”
The demons’ struggle to hold back even a little bit was like a blessing to me.
「The skill ‘Manmaji King萬魔之王’ is activated.」
Yihwa grafting (移花接木).
“Uh huh!? All of Guo’s powers have been extinguished!? What nonsense is this…!”
“How…! How can humans have such demonic energy! How the hell…!”
“shit! Got it all! That guy has the ability to eliminate demons! Everyone evacuate…!”
At the moment when the powers dependent on demonic powers disappeared all at once…
“It absorbs all of the demonic energy and converts it into magical energy.”
Before I knew it, the whole body was filled with mana and it was moving to the tip of the sword.
“Don’t you think it’s too late to avoid it now?”
At that, I blew a cold sneer at the demons…
“There is no chance to go back to you anymore.”
Then, he swung the vast amount of mana transferred to the tip of the sword as if it were bursting at once.
“From now on, it’s my turn unconditionally.”
And…
Beep-!
A flickering sound occurred and the fortified city was dyed with white heat.
Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!
It’s also very fancy.
