186. Track Keeper (2)
「View all the perks that can be purchased.」
I decided to use the points accumulated so far during the movement time…
So instead of needlessly looking around the store dedicated to the labyrinth a bit more, I went straight to the perk shop. entered.
‘There are 4 perks to buy, but I can’t buy all of them.’
I also achieved two legend-level achievements, so I collected more points than I thought, but I still didn’t have enough points.
So, now was the time to choose.
Which perk will you get?
「[Category: Skill] Exclusive Skill Book (SSS+) ─ [Description: Creates an exclusive skill optimized only for the user] ─ [Price: 100 points]」 「[Classification: Weapon] Exclusive Spell Ring (SSS+) ─ [
Description : Generates a dedicated spell optimized only for the user] ─ [Price: 100 points]」
「[Classification: Power] Power Evolution Potion (SSS+) ─ [Description: Randomly selects and evolves one of the possessed powers] ─ [ Price: 100 points]”
「[Classification: Holy] Absolute Preservation (SSS+) ─ [Description: Under no circumstances will you ever lose an ability once possessed] ─ [Price: 100 points]」 First of all, one perk is confirmed for
purchase was in a state
‘Absolute preservation must be bought.’
Whoever I am dealing with has this, and I will never become weak.
Perhaps, through absolute preservation, the specs before entering the labyrinth could be restored.
However, I’m guessing that the ability not to be lost with the Absolute Preservation perk is the ability after acquiring the perk.
It would be a very hopeful observation to even regain the abilities before entering the labyrinth.
‘That’s why it’s essential to develop some level of ability.’
So, I immediately decided on three perks that I could buy at the store.
In fact, if you were asked to choose three of these four perks, it was pretty obvious what you would buy.
「Purchased the exclusive privilege ‘Exclusive Skill Book (SSS+)’ by consuming 100 labyrinth points.」 「Purchased
exclusive privilege ‘Exclusive Spell Ring (SSS+)’ by consuming 100 labyrinth points.
」 I purchased ‘Absolute Preservation (SSS+)’ by consuming 100 labyrinth points.」
Skills and spells.
Except for absolute preservation, which is basically decided to buy, these two are the things you need to buy.
Of course, there is also a power evolution potion, but I was a little hesitant to buy this.
Even if you haven’t restored all of your powers, why are you buying power evolution potions?
You may regret it no matter where you use it, so it would be right to buy it later.
After completing a few achievements, you can buy Power Evolution potions anyway.
Hung.
As soon as I finished purchasing the privilege, a book and a ring imbued with antiquity appeared in the air.
Absolute conservation was applied right away, so no change occurred.
It was such a simple application that I really doubted if this was the end…
‘But I just need it to work well later.’
I didn’t have to procrastinate, so this was fine as it was.
「Exclusive skill book」
「Rating: SSS+」
「Special book that can create original exclusive skill.」 「
※When the book is stained with blood, it analyzes the user’s temperament for 14 days and creates an original skill.」
「Exclusive skill book “Order Ring”
“Rating: SSS+”
“A special ring that can create an original exclusive spell.”
“Once equipped, the exclusive spell ring is permanently bound to the user.
” Depending on the wish, the original spell is given to the ring.」
Snatching the items that appeared in the air and looking at the description window, there was nothing strange.
This is a description that is close to what you saw in the shop window.
It’s just…
‘It took 14 days to create an exclusive skill…’
Is it because it created an original skill that can be used exclusively?
There was a waiting time for skill creation in exclusive skill books purchased at the store.
That’s not a short waiting time of 14 days.
To be honest, I didn’t like it, but I had no choice but to lick my appetite.
As long as there is a waiting time, I hope that good skills will be created.
In response, I bit my finger lightly to bleed out and buried it in a dedicated skill book.
「Challenger Seong-yoon Han is registered as a user of the exclusive skill book (SSS+).」
And…
“The exclusive skill book (SSS+) starts analyzing the temperament of Seong-yoon Han, the challenger.
” The book disappeared in an instant without a sound.
「After 14 days, a skill suitable for the temperament of challenger Han Seong-yoon will be created.」
After that, no more messages came to mind.
The exclusive skill book will not change until the 14 days pass.
But that didn’t mean that even the spell-generating ring couldn’t be used right away.
‘Orders are created according to wishes…’
Perhaps the spells created in the ring are greatly influenced by the user’s thoughts…
‘It’s fun.’
I was curious.
「I wear an exclusive spell ring (SSS+).」
If this ring really gives me a spell that can make my wish come true…
「The exclusive spell ring (SSS+) will be permanently bound to the challenger Han Seong-yoon.」
What kind of spell does this happen?
「Exclusive Spell Ring (SSS+) creates an exclusive spell suitable for Challenger Seongyun Han.」
***
Chiuu.
The moment when a strange sound rang out from the blue ring worn on the index finger of the right hand. A system message popped up
: “The exclusive spell < Despise the Strong > will be created on the exclusive spell ring (SSS+).” A
red light quietly flowed from the ring.
“….”
It doesn’t seem like an extremely good spell was created, but…
‘It seems that at least the minimum expectations have been met.’
The performance of the generated spells wasn’t completely disappointing either.
The performance of the dedicated spell itself was simple.
Increases all stats and all skill efficiency by 100%.
This was the ability of the < Contempt for the Strong > spell.
Of course, there are conditions.
‘Is it a one-shot reversal card that can only be used against the strongest of the strongest enemies…’
This spell could only be activated when dealing with an enemy several times stronger than the user.
However, the duration lasted until the end of the battle, so it wasn’t bad.
‘It’s okay.’
Whether climbing the tower or descending the labyrinth…
there were many situations where I had to face strong enemies anyway.
So there was no reason why it wouldn’t be good to have a spell that could be used together with < The Warrior of Reversal >.
As soon as I finished the maintenance, I saw a staircase that allows you to move between floors.
“…This is the center of this fortified city. If you go down here, you can go to the 6th floor.”
The dark lord looked at me with an unwilling face for some reason.
It seems to be the attitude of doubting whether he will really save himself…
“Let’s go now.”
The reason why I had to kill him was gone, so I immediately waved my hand and issued a congratulatory order.
But even so, the dark lord asked me a question with a confused face as if he couldn’t believe it.
“Are you really going to save me…?”
“It’s a promise, so there’s nothing you can do about it.”
At that time, the demon god told me that he would give me the reward the gods wanted to get from this giant tree labyrinth.
In exchange, he begged the demons in the giant tree labyrinth to be saved.
So, I had no intention of killing the dark lord unnecessarily.
Of course, I coveted the divine power a little, but I sucked enough of it from the spring and came back.
‘I’ve said everything since I’ve risen to the level of divinity.’
I’ve absorbed enough to make a decent number of prospective apostles…
To be honest, I get scolded no matter how much I am to kill even the dark lord.
…Well, remorse is also remorse, but it was better not to kill it even if it could break the alliance with the Demon God.
In many ways.
“I didn’t know you were serious. I never imagined that I would be able to live on…”
“Don’t hate it. I’m fine even if I give up my head here and leave.”
“You crazy man! Jim is not okay! What do you think of demons!”
“A gift box with generous rewards?”
“…”
“I’m kidding.”
It’s a prank thrown with the mind to arouse the hard atmosphere, but is it that the emotions are dry like a demon?
“…That’s right. No, it’s not like a joke. Jim will return now. Enough then.”
The dark lord, whose face was paler than before, quickly moved away from me.
Katherine Bennett, who saw that, glanced at me and then said in a puzzled tone.
“…How many times have you plowed that demon before you react like that?”
“well. I’ve never been to He must have been frightened by my words for no reason because he was a demon.”
As I shrugged at him, Kim Seung-hoon opened his mouth in a puzzled manner.
“Doesn’t that demon need to be killed? Haven’t you killed all the demons so far?”
“I did, but I think I should keep it alive.”
“I don’t know if it’s a skill or an authority… but it looks like there’s something to be gained by saving the demons.”
“Exactly.”
I was worried about how to explain that the demons were not killed due to the alliance with the demons.
Since Kim Seung-hoon took care of it, I was just happy.
Oh Chun-seok also nodded as if he understood what he was saying and added.
“We have to understand that we are in the position of being carried by Sungyoon. We have nothing to think about.”
There was no need to say anything more thanks to the atmosphere of everyone agreeing with those words.
“…then let’s go down now.”
Then, I took my teammates and went down the dark stairway leading directly below.
「You are eligible to go down the 5th floor of the Giant Tree Labyrinth [Hell Fortress City], so you will receive
a reward.
」 Sincerely, I was able to finish my selection quickly.
「The skill ‘Counterattack Shield’ is released from the seal.]
Choose a counterattack shield that can be used as a defense skill and counter skill.
「The power of ‘Blessing Index’ is released from the seal.」
In preparation for the ability to shake the mind, even the Bright Quality Index was recovered.
To be honest, I thought Starlight or Punishment would be fine as a skill to recover, but…
Rather than using Starlight, it would be better to use a counter and minor version of the lightsaber as a counterattack shield.
In addition, skills such as Punishment were extremely strong against demons, but they were no longer needed.
‘Because of the contract with the demon, there is no need to fight the demon.’
So, the counterattack shield was suitable for the current skill to be restored.
After restoring my abilities, I agonized over whether to use skill synthesis, but soon decided not to.
This is because the materials to be replaced for skill synthesis are incomplete.
In order not to come out of the same skill in the synthesis, the combination of each other must be carefully considered
.
‘For now, skill synthesis is a keep.’
Maintenance was just finished.
The team members also completed their ability recovery faster than me, as if they had adapted to it now.
It was amazing.
In the previous floor, he said that he had to carefully decide which ability to recover, but it was unexpectedly fast.
When I asked Katherine Bennet directly why she finished the maintenance so quickly, she answered right away.
“…That’s because the tech tree is aligned to support you. I don’t even care about self-defense anymore.”
It was a grunting voice, as if he was a bit irritated, but…
In the end, it was like giving up his life to me and going all-in.
Even though it seemed a little out of place, I felt a little better because I was trusted like this.
“Then you must live up to expectations.”
After saying that, I led my teammates and went straight down the stairs…
“I entered the [Cradle of Proof] on the 6th floor of the
giant tree labyrinth. ”
“This is a special layer governed by the God of Proof.”
“The Earth dimension and the Moorim dimension can jointly face the trials
.”
「※However, if the repelling contribution of the [Cloned Challenger] is 10% or less, you will be expelled from the Labyrinth.」
I read the explanation given in the system message and my eyes twinkled.
‘A layer governed by the God of Proof?’
It was only now that the traces of the gods began to be felt in earnest.
Whether this is good or bad, it means that we are getting closer to the depths of the giant tree labyrinth.
I couldn’t help but feel my heart pounding with excitement.
But that was only for a moment.
‘It’s a joint trial between the Earth level and the Moorim level.’
Looking across the gray land, there were many people around who were armed differently than the Hunters.
“Savage people like worms are scattered here and there… worms who do not know either martial arts or cooperation.”
“A joint ordeal with bug-like bastards who have never studied martial arts? Does this make sense?”
“under! joint ordeal? Talking nonsense. Cooperation with bugs who don’t even know martial arts is impossible.”
Murim people.
The challengers belonging to the Moorim dimension each looked around at those around them and clicked their tongues.
‘About 40 Moorim people on the 6th floor…’
Considering that there were around 10 challengers from the Earth level, it was a huge number.
…In fact, considering what I’ve done while descending, it was also strange that there were around 10 challengers from the Earth level.
It’s because they didn’t let the challengers come down the hierarchy easily.
It probably means that the challengers at the earth level are extremely talented.
So, to some extent, interest welled up in them… but
that feeling soon faded.
It was worth it.
「Random replication is performed targeting the strongest challengers currently on the 6th floor.」
「[Cloned challengers]’ skills are fixed at the level before entering the giant tree labyrinth.」
Powerful enough that different dimensions must work together. Because the enemy is about to appear.
When it was said that it was random replication for the strong, the tension rose at once.
‘Copying a challenger with specs before entering the giant tree labyrinth…’
It’s an ordeal that makes you nervous even if you don’t want to be nervous.
It’s a situation where a great strongman like the heavenly horse that we saw in the 17th floor trial before could appear… It
was best to hope that among the strong ones, the least skilled ones would be cloned.
But…
「Selection completed.」
「A [duplicated challenger] is created with the specs of the selected challenger before entering the giant tree labyrinth.」 For some reason,
whenever I wished so earnestly, I had no luck.
It’s also very huge.
Deed—!
At the same time the mirror in the center of the gray earth trembled, a human figure appeared from beyond.
“…”
Seeing that, I had no choice but to hold my breath as if my brain had temporarily stopped.
That would be the case too…
「A challenger belonging to the earth dimension [Han Seong-yoon] has been created.」
What appeared from the mirror was the worst of the worst enemies.
