194. The final layer of the labyrinth (1)
I was curious about it until now.
Why is the dark god so obsessed with me?
Oh, of course, I was curious as to why the other deities were unnecessarily hostile or friendly towards me.
However, compared to the god of darkness, it couldn’t be said to be hostility or goodwill without a cause.
Those like the God of Proof or the God of Dragon, at least causality definitely existed.
‘No matter how insignificant it may be, there was a reason to favor me.’
On the 11th floor stage, there was the least reason that he passed the ordeal of proof better than anyone else and achieved the achievement of the Dragon God class on the 14th floor ordeal.
‘…Well, I still don’t know what that bastard’s Dragon God type is.’
So it wasn’t strange that the two of them were kind to me.
But the Dark God did not.
“I don’t know why you are helping me this much.”
It was worth it.
The Dark God was obsessed with me more than other deities.
Therefore, the question itself was natural.
“I won’t be like this unless I become something special to you.”
At those words, the Dark God was silent for a moment, then opened his mouth with a bitter smile.
[ …I like intelligent children, but I don’t like being this direct. ]
To put it in a word, it meant that he was stabbed to the point.
-It’s not nice. They must be doing that because they don’t want to reveal their plans. In any case, things called divine powers…
Dam Chun-wu also noticed that and grumbled at me with a whole tone.
– I don’t understand. You and Goddess both like to eat raw food very much.
‘…Does understanding mean that there is something you know?’
– To some extent. However, I cannot tell you in detail. There are restrictions on the top. So don’t expect anything from me.
‘I didn’t even expect it in the first place. What else can I expect from a foodie who eats rice? I fully understand…’
―It’s not detailed, but I can tell you a little bit…!
Damcheonwu asked for the bait right away, as if it was unfair that he was treated as a useless insectivore.
―…Perhaps the God of Darkness wants to make you an apostle.
‘Apostle? It’s already clumsy, but even apotheosis is in progress?’
-Yes. Even a deity can fall under another deity. When I climbed the tower, I often saw such divinities.
‘…This sounds like a lot of information, but is there any penalty for saying this?’
―Originally, this is information that should have been prepared for extinction, but since you have become stronger and have become much stronger and know more, this is allowed.
‘That’s good news.’
If this happens, Dam Chun-wu’s position will be upgraded to a partner with many corners to use.
Feeling satisfied with him, I opened my mouth soon.
“Do you really want to make me an apostle?”
And…
[Ha…. Originally, I didn’t want to tell you like this, but I can’t help it. yes kid I want to make you an apostle. ]
Hearing from the God of Darkness that this deduction is the correct answer made me laugh.
[You are so smart. To the extent that it was too wasteful for something like a tower to bear. But that’s not all. ]
But wasn’t it close to his true intention to make him an apostle?
[There is something else I really want from you. ]
She said that other things were more important than her intention to become an apostle.
[The moment when you are truly given a place of transcendence where you can fulfill your longing for the tower. ]
As she said that, her face was wet with ecstasy.
[Will the tower do what it wants, or will it create a new ending…]
I had a hunch about that.
[I just want to see the moment when everything ends. ]
At least the god of darkness is not a deity to trust.
***
I have heard from the demon about the secret wish of the tower.
It’s also quite detailed.
—The Tower wants a transcendent in the true sense of being close to omniscience and omnipotence!
omnipotence.
God in the true sense of the word who knows everything and can do everything, whatever it is.
Tower was hoping for that, and it could be said that I was the one who was selected as the candidate.
However, that would be the creation of an instrumental existence in order to use it for a certain purpose.
The tower’s true longing lies beyond the birth of a being that transcends even the gods.
[Haa -am … I’m sorry …. Now I can’t keep < Advent > ….]
The god of darkness yaws off the fascination.
[You won’t be able to face each other in the labyrinth, but my child, I’ve chosen a follower to help you…]
She closed her eyes and continued talking in an almost muffled voice.
[I will deliver my reward from the giant tree labyrinth through a believer…]
And then.
[Let’s meet at the tower later…]
With those words, the black divinity that flowed from Catherine Bennet disappeared and her eyes were completely closed.
「The divine < darkness > is canceled, and the dark energy that encroaches on the earth disappears.
」
The divine < darkness > was lifted, and the dark aura around them disappeared before they knew it.
Dam Chun-wu said in a calming voice, as if he was finally going to take a breath.
―… < Advent > has been cancelled. Things worked out fortunately. If the Dark God was the enemy, it would have been extremely difficult.
“It must have been. The dark god is so strong that even the gods are frightened. Something like me would have died in an instant.”
-okay. So don’t be cocky. The god of battle was nothing more than a baby compared to the ancient deity, such as the god of darkness.
“…”
―It was not a good choice to be as conceited as before in a situation where the Godheads are targeting you.
“…I’m fully self-aware even if I don’t have to say it.”
I regretted it.
I never thought that the dark god would descend on Catherine Bennett…
It was an unexpected situation, but I was entirely responsible for it.
‘Even this situation should have been expected a long time ago.’
In any case, there was a clue to guess that < Advent > would happen, and even if it was unknown, it was necessary to prepare thoroughly.
Then I realized that I had to whip myself a little.
“…”
Now it’s time to go back to the tower.
In the labyrinth, I attacked the class in a unilateral massacre, but…
after realizing my limits with my own skin like this, I realized how insignificant I was.
‘As soon as I return to the tower, I have to grow as much as possible.’
Skills, authority, divinity…
I had to grow to the point where I couldn’t lose to anyone.
Otherwise, all that awaits is the end of death.
-…hmm. Now I can see your face. flaw. After all, that face suits you the best.
“…What is my face like right now?”
―This is the face you see when you see an enemy you can’t defeat. It wasn’t a good situation. At least it seems to have been enough energizer for you.
“….”
It seems to be teasing, but surprisingly, the voice itself is serious.
So the annoyance rose.
It was not common to think that someone might not be from the Moorim dimension
.
“ha.”
As I sighed and collected myself, a system message suddenly came to my mind.
「The vampire factor stored in the skill ‘Depersonalization’ responds to the user’s emotions.」
Could the complicated current state be the cause?
「Receive racial advantages from the vampire factor stored in the skill ‘Dehumanization’.」 The
vampire factor, which was acquired unintentionally from the blood erosion power used by the god of battle, suddenly moved.
That too…
「Receives the body merit < Moonlight Favor > transplanted from the vampire factor stored in the skill ‘Depersonalization’.”
In a pretty good direction.
***
Originally, I didn’t expect much from the depersonalization skill.
Should I just say that it’s a device that can cheat a little on the system?
He did not think that this skill acquired from the High Lich was worth more than that.
But it wasn’t.
「All stats increase by +4 due to the physical strength < Moonlight Favor >.」
The depersonalization skill allows you to be recognized not as a human race but as a demon at the same time.
「Due to her physical advantage < Moonlight Favor >, all stats increase by 10% in places with moonlight.」 I
was able to take the racial factor into my blood and turn it into strength.
「Due to the physical advantage < Moonlight Favor >, all kinds of growth speed increases by 10% in places with moonlight.」
The result was amazing beyond what I could have imagined.
“Have you seen such a crazy race…”
A lot has changed even though he has been implanted with one of the advantages of the vampire race.
Seriously…
to the point where I realized that the racial difference is so big that it makes no sense.
―…Have you seen such crazy luck! Hex! This is witchcraft! There’s no way this is possible!
Even Dam Chun-wu started going wild, saying that this was nonsense…
– I mean, where in the world is the law to gain this much power day by day?
The physical strength of the vampire race < Moonlight Favor > was deceitful and there was no need to explain.
To him, I smiled and replied with a smirk.
“Where are you? Are you in this place? And this is also a skill.”
―Poetry skills? Let’s go!? You really shouldn’t even have a conscience!
“Well, it’s not that the growth rate is going up because of conscience, but what if it’s not there?”
―…If I can take only about 40% of the luck that exists with you, I should be able to conquer the tower as well.
“If even opening one’s mouth to the tower is controlled, what kind of conquest is conquest?”
―…
Dam Chun-wu, as if he had nothing to say, kept his mouth shut with a gloomy expression, and I immediately opened my eyes to the vitality rushing into my body.
‘Is this the advantage of being a vampire?’
It was huge.
The conditional ability was quite useful, as well as the ability buff like all ability points +4.
All stats and growth rates increase just by being under the moonlight?
For humans without any racial advantage, it was an advantage like rainwater in a drought.
‘It’s a conditional thing that bothers me a little, but it’s a skill that’s good enough to use in the tower or outside.’
It might be useless in areas where moonlight doesn’t fall…
Even that could be solved by artificially creating the ability to generate moonlight.
Then really, this racial advantage will bring me tremendous benefits.
In any case, this ability is up to you to handle.
‘I’ll have to look for a skill that can use moonlight when I go back to the tower later.’
Then, I immediately converted all of the commanders into stats.
It’s more efficient to use it here than to have it anyway.
「Permanently increase stats by using all possessed spirits.」
「Muscle strength increased by 18」
「Agility increased by 19.」 「Stamina increased by 16.」
「 Magic power increased by 19.」
「Durability increased by 19.
16 It has risen.」
Perhaps thanks to killing two of the preliminary apostles, his abilities went up considerably.
「Absorbs one of the skills possessed by the reserve apostle ‘Swen Orb’.」「
The skill ‘Master/Servant Contract (A+)’ is created.」 A
master/servant contract was created as a skill…
‘.. .Can you strengthen your servants by signing a master-servant contract?’
I thought it was not a skill worth using.
But was it different in Dam Chun-wu’s eyes?
―You have acquired a useful skill. can i use this like this It’s a pretty good skill.
“Where are you going to use this?”
―If you want to use it, you can use it as much as you like.
“If I were to make a servant uniform that would be used once and thrown away, that would be the case, but…”
-No. There’s no need to do that. Are you there too? A colleague with whom you can make a master-servant contract.
At that, I widened my eyes.
Dam Chun-wu’s opinion is that it’s okay to write on the fallen Catherine Bennet…
“Are you insane?”
It was an absurd proposal, so the words came out in a rough way without me knowing.
―I just said this from the bottom of my heart. Your colleague, Catherine Bennett, is no longer something to protect. She is an equal challenger.
“….”
―Since the God of Darkness has selected you as a reserve apostle, you should be able to use the apostle painting, so it will be helpful to you as well.
“Still, I’m not so lacking in morality as to use it like that.”
At least I wouldn’t use it that way unless it was really needed.
‘Even if you use this once, it doesn’t seem easy to break the master-servant relationship.’
It was then.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Suddenly, the thick trees collapsed at once and a woman with languid eyes in a black robe appeared.
In response, I immediately took a vigilant posture, holding the sword in my hand tightly.
“…”
A formidable enemy.
It could easily be seen from the flow of divine power flowing from the outside.
‘It’s enough to easily overwhelm a reserve apostle with tolerable holy power…’
In such a tired state, he is a powerful enemy who may even use the final resistance.
Even Catherine Bennett, who lost consciousness due to the aftereffects of < Advent >, must be protected…
There will be no other desperate situation like this.
But…
“Are you the challenger Han Seong-yoon?”
The tension running down his back soon dissipated.
That would be too…
Chuck!
“I am Aria, an apostle serving the God of Darkness.”
It was because she knelt down on me in a very restrained position.
Even…
“According to the will of the God of Darkness, I will serve the challenger Han Seong-yoon to the final layer of the labyrinth.”
Even with very sincere eyes.
