198. Labyrinth Final Layer (5)
Necromancer Fragments.
It seems to be a type of spirit that can be absorbed when killing the incarnation of a godhead… To be
honest, I didn’t think I would be able to complete all of this.
It was worth it.
On the 7th floor stage, the deity that can use the incarnation is limited, and even that has killed two of the three.
The remaining one was moved to an unknown space by Aria….
I soon abandoned my expectations when I heard that the clumsy god of observation had escaped using the labyrinth-only divine authority.
―That’s…
that the spirit piece can’t be completed.
―The god of clumsy observation.
but.
―I never thought he would appear in such a close place…
The moment I saw the incarnation of the god of clumsy observation flowing from a black portal that appeared in the sky.
[This is…]
In my heart, I felt an intense fire rising from the anticipation I had been trying to close.
[Causal. ]
Destiny.
If there really is an unavoidable flow, it would be like this.
As soon as you hit the incarnations of the two godheads, you immediately show up like this?
It’s an opportunity never to be missed.
「Boss skill skill ‘Grace of Wind’ is activated.」
「All speeds increase by 150%.」
「Current skill stacking progress – [15]」
I’ve never had this much acceleration with Grace of Wind before. …
Paaang—!
By increasing all speeds by 150%, the process of moving was completely different from before.
―…Every action speed is increased, but there is no limit to the overlapping increase rate. Really, no matter how many times you look at it, it’s a fraudulent technique.
Despite the state of deification, the movement is accelerated to the point where it is impossible to properly control it.
To the extent that I can really barely see movement with my body vision, which has long since been out of human.
But…
‘There’s no need to control movement anywhere.’
This is a prearranged problem.
There was no need to have complete control over where to go.
It was worth it.
Anyway, this uncontrollable movement speed is to use another movement device soon.
「The authority ‘Shunbo’ is activated.」
「A cooldown is applied to the power for 10 minutes.」
「Instantly moves to the desired point within the field of view by consuming holy power.
」
I just accelerated excessively to satisfy that condition.
Shunbo’s range of movement is not very wide, even if it is within sight.
And anyway, once you activate Shunbo, all of the acceleration that had been attached to your body before will disappear, so there was no need to worry about escaping from the destination.
「Boss skill skill ‘Grace of Wind’ is deactivated.」
Arriving right in front of the clumsy God of Observation, I smiled.
[ hi? ]
The god of clumsy observation was startled and uttered a voice full of fear.
[What the hell is this…! Nonsense! Why are you here…!? ]
Perhaps he thought that he would not be able to come to him because he was dealing with other deities
.
Jagoro…
「The exclusive effect of the Power Skill skill, ‘Soul Source Demonic Sword’, ‘Double’ is activated.」
「Consumes divine power to increase the power of Power Skill skills by [1.7] times.」
The best way to communicate is by bumping into each other. It is a physical conversation.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!
…or not.
***
fit.
[As expected, this level of output won’t kill you right away. ]
Landing lightly, I clicked my tongue as I watched the god of clumsy observation tremble while stuck to the ground.
His body was severely cut, but not to the point of facing death.
‘I consumed too much divine power to deal with two incarnations of the godhead.’
Honwon Demon Sword evolved into a Power Skill and became a skill that increased the output of martial arts itself by a multiplier.
However, what is used in return is divine power.
Due to the fierce battle the other day, it consumed a lot of fuel called divine power, so it couldn’t produce enough power.
‘Even if I offer the items and skills I’ve collected in the labyrinth as tribute, I still don’t have enough holy power.’
I felt that I still had a long way to grow.
‘Probably, in its current state, it can’t even win against a really talented Goddess.’
no.
There was no need to go to a truly skilled deity.
In the end, even after using the incarnation, I was defeated horribly by me
.
‘Is it time to focus on divinity?’
Divine Faith Myth.
I realized that it was my turn to raise my status as a godhead in earnest.
Perhaps, from now on, I will have to find out enough about the faith and mythology that I did not care about.
Only then will you grow enough to be able to compete with the Godheads.
But…
「Time ends.」
「The divine authority ‘Apotheosis’ is disabled and cannot be reused for 8 hours.」
That is something to think about later.
“…First of all, it would be right to deal with this.”
[Keukkeuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu… Damn it… Why did things turn out like this… ]
“Why is it like this. You guys first quarreled with me, so it happened like this.”
[ Bullshit. Without you, this wouldn’t have happened. You are a being that shouldn’t have existed. ]
“You haven’t figured out the subject yet.”
[This poor Phil…! ]
Before the god of clumsy observation could even finish his words, I immediately struck the Blood Heaven Demon Sword into his body.
Kaaang!
[Turn it off! ]
“Even incarnated, I feel the pain as it is.”
[…Even if it’s an enemy, it’s right to be polite to me, a godhead—. ]
“Seeing that the tip of the tongue is long, it seems that the incarnation cannot be summoned immediately without conditions.”
[ …. ]
“What kind of confidence do you have to talk to me like that?”
The god of clumsy observation closed his mouth, as if he had finally realized that the situation was against him.
[ …Right. Did all the other deities besides me suffer? And you have something you want from me. ]
Unexpectedly, the clumsy god of observation seemed to have correctly grasped my intentions.
[Challenger Han Seong-yoon. what is the purpose what do you want from me ]
His tone, which had been overheated until a few seconds ago, had calmed down before he knew it.
Even before, he was the most rational of the three deities.
With that in mind, perhaps this is his true personality.
‘I guess it’s because I’ve been so excited that I haven’t calmed down.’
I said with a quiet smile.
“I want to know a few questions and about this labyrinth contest.”
[ …Right. Since he is a candidate for the top, he must want to know the truth. understood. But you know you can’t figure it all out. ]
“I know.”
[That’s it. Instead, there are things I want to trade. can you listen ]
“I can’t listen to you telling me not to harm the incarnation.”
[It’s not like that. It’s just that you don’t harm me as long as you don’t become hostile to me in the future. ]
“….”
[If I harm you instead, I’ll pay the price neatly. ]
“I like the condition of paying the price. Even if you say that, there is no way to trade with each other.”
[Don’t worry about that. ]
After that, a system message suddenly appeared in my field of vision.
「The clumsy God of Observation promises to keep the deal with the challenger Han
Seong-yoon.
」 function will be provided.
‘Thanks to the Tower’s ability to trade, the need for annoying lies is gone.’
As I stared blankly at the system message, the clumsy god of observation spoke calmly.
[I swear on my divinity that I will never lie. ]
“…Did the tower have a system like this? okay. Then I will ask you directly.”
[I hope. ]
“First, I need to tell you about the tower.”
I immediately asked him about the tower.
But…
[I don’t know. ]
Most of what came back was a consistent answer that they didn’t know, so there wasn’t much to know.
“What the heck do you know about the tower?”
[ I only know about basic information. It wasn’t long before I became a godhead. So, there is a lot of information you know. ]
“In a word, it’s sloppy and there’s no information to tell you.”
[ …. ]
“Then let’s move on. I want to know about the contest.”
[Is it about the giant tree labyrinth itself? ]
“Yes.”
[ …the Giant Tree Labyrinth is an event venue made by remodeling the World Tree. And it was the Tower of Trials that remodeled the giant tree labyrinth. ]
“Hmm.”
[ After the tower remodeled the giant tree labyrinth, it sent an invitation to the deities. It was an invitation to host a competition of the gods. ]
“Did it go like that?”
[The invited deity could choose the difficulty level of the labyrinth, place the altar, and make the challenger a believer. Through that point, the winner of the competition was decided. ]
“Tell me more.”
[The winner is determined by which godhead the challenger who reached the deepest part of the labyrinth is. ]
“As you think, the winner is decided.”
This was information that could be guessed to some extent.
It was worth it.
Until now, there were many devices in the labyrinth that could openly receive grace from the gods.
I touched my chin for a moment, then narrowed my eyes.
“But I heard that there are competition rewards other than that.”
The Dark God and the Demon God decided to give me the reward obtained from the giant tree labyrinth.
So, I already knew there were other rewards.
I just don’t know what its contents are.
When I asked about it, I got an answer right away.
[That is not so important. What I received as a basic participation reward is a small authority. ]
“Permissions?”
[ One of the tower’s administrator privileges is randomly granted and can be used. ]
“I think I know what it is.”
The clumsy god of observation had a history of using the Forced Escape Authority.
It was impossible not to know that it was discovered by me immediately after escaping from the < Endless Abyss >, the power exclusive to the apostles, and was captured like this.
‘Then I can receive two of the tower’s administrator privileges.’
In fact, I asked more questions with my eyes shining, but there was no result.
[I don’t know much more than that. These are things that cannot be known unless it is an ancient deity. ]
Of course, this was enough to collect information, so there was nothing to be greatly disappointed with.
I nodded and then opened my mouth again.
“All right then. Now I want to know about the Dark God. tell me what you know.”
[ …an ancient deity. dark god. I don’t know too much either. We only know that it is one of the seven ancient deities that existed in the beginning. ]
“Isn’t there some information you’re hiding?”
[There is no such thing. In the first place, aren’t you a colleague with that ancient godhead fanatic? Then why don’t you ask the fanatic? ]
“….”
I didn’t think of him as a colleague, so I heard that word in passing.
But since he said he didn’t know about the Dark God, there was nothing to ask.
“Then the deal is over.”
Kwajijik…!
Right away, he wrapped his Pacheon skill on the Blood Heaven Demon Sword and threw it down at the clumsy God of Observation, and he squinted his eyes.
[ …it was an experience I didn’t want to go through twice. Challenger Han Seong-yoon. I hope we never run into each other later. ]
After those words, the incarnation of the god of clumsy observation disappeared with the scarlet halo fading.
And…
「The spirit piece ‘■■■[3/3]’ has been absorbed.」
「Skill proficiency increases by 0%.」
All of the spirit pieces have been completed.
「The Spirit Shard ‘■■■[3/3]’ has met the charging requirement.」
「You can select and acquire a latent divinity by consuming the Spirit Shard ‘■■■[3/3]’.」
「 The potential divinities that can be acquired at the moment are < Deterioration > < Observation > < Misery >.」 「
※The potential divinity that was not selected at this time will not appear as an option later on.」
Another ridiculous crazy reward appeared.
***
―Is it possible to obtain divinity, which can only be obtained after hundreds of years of training, as easily as eating cookies?
As soon as he saw the message that he could acquire latent divinity, Dam Chun-wu laughed.
―If the gods saw this crazy sight, they would cry…
To those words, I quietly nodded my head in agreement.
‘Necromancy.’
It is a unique characteristic that I first learned after entering the tower.
‘This is also something different.’
It felt as if this unique trait was designed to rise to the top of every food chain.
I continued to think with my eyes wide open.
It was because he remembered what the demon had told him.
‘The devil said that the tower wants an omnipotent god…’
I suddenly thought of that.
This necromancy’s unique trait is like a cheat key that the tower specially arranged for me.
Of course, it was just speculation, so it wasn’t very reliable… but
if the demon didn’t lie to me, it was a plausible guess.
Necromancy has the potential to transcend even gods.
“It’s fun.”
I didn’t know what the tower was trying to achieve by creating a being that transcended the gods, but I wasn’t worried.
That’s also the case…
[Selection complete.]
[Divinity < Observation > is replaced by potential.]
If you become an absolute predator standing at the end of the food chain, you won’t be able to ignore the tower.
Deed…!
A scarlet divinity formed in his heart, and was soon consumed by the transcendent divinity.
It is a process that has been experienced before.
‘The divinity of observation must have become a potential divinity.’
As I was satisfied with that, an additional system message appeared.
「The upper stage will open little by little.」
It was only this one line, but I understood to some extent what it meant.
“Heavenly Demon’s Body…”
There was a change in the special authority called Heavenly Demon’s Body, which she obtained after defeating the Heavenly Demon on the 17th floor.
Of course, it doesn’t seem like a very meaningful change…
Seeing how he reacted to the creation of a latent divinity, I was a little excited.
It was worth it.
Responding to divinity means that you can learn additional abilities related to divinity when the upper level battle is opened.
‘Could it be that if I have more latent divinities, will the upper level battle be fully opened?’
Even so, I can’t open the guild hall right away, so I can only hope for later.
It was then.
– Han Seong-yoon.
Suddenly, Dam Chun-wu called me with a serious voice.
―Previously, I said that the god of darkness would want to make you an apostle.
“It was.”
―…It’s only now that I can speak. The dark god is not a very good deity.
“What else is that…”
―Divinity symbolizes everything to the godhead. Darkness is the finale that swallows everything.
“Is it the end?”
– Nothing is permanent in this world. There is an end to everything. And it is the god of darkness who presides over the end.
“….”
―If light exists, that light will eventually run out of value and bring darkness. The Dark God is very threatening in that respect.
Dam Chun-wu continued his words slowly.
―The Dark God told you that he wanted to see the moment when everything ended.
“…”
―That means that your existence can bring about the end of the tower. At that time, the Dark God will truly feel joy.
“So what do you want to say?”
―It means to prepare for the fact that she will swallow you in the end. Darkness comes when you can no longer afford to shine.
“You don’t have to worry about that.”
I laughed at him.
“I’m not going to get stabbed in the back by anyone. You’ve been watching me all this time, so you know that, don’t you?”
Advice that’s good enough…
“In the end, if you aim for me, it’s the Dark God who will be devoured. Just like it always has been.”
I wasn’t stupid enough to die so absurdly.
-…Right. If that’s your way, I agree. There’s no need to worry about those who walk the path.
Dam Chun-wu said that as if he was relieved, and soon became quiet.
In response, I moved my body and collected all the [Grail Fragments] from each faction that had fallen everywhere.
“The Degraded Camp’s [Grail Fragment] has been acquired.”
“The Observation Camp’s [Holy Grail Fragment] has been obtained.” “
The Miserable Camp’s
[Holy Grail Fragment] has been obtained. ”
「Alia, the 4th-class apostle, deactivates the Apostle-only Authority < Endless Abyss >.」
Tsuzuzu.
A portal opened in the sky, and Arya, carrying Katherine Bennett on her back, landed lightly through it, her gray hair flying.
She was crying as if she was about to burst into tears.
Should I say it’s like a puppy that makes mistakes and notices its owner?
Arya licked her lips, but soon lowered her head as if she had no face.
“…Ha Sungyoon Han. sorry. I made a mistake because I missed the news. I have no face to see.”
I immediately shook my head.
“No way. Because I caught the god of clumsy observation.”
At those words, Aria raised her eyes like a rabbit as if she was startled…
“…Ah. You are indeed the one favored by the dark. It is a skill that is different from other things.”
After that, he started pouring all sorts of compliments on me with his hazy eyes.
But I had no intention of hearing that compliment all the time.
“Now that I think about it, I think the Dark God said he had something to give me.”
As soon as I put the information I heard from the clumsy god of deterioration into my mouth, a reaction arose.
“That’s right. hold me for a while I will give you the grace of God.”
Aria then put Katherine Bennet down and immediately grabbed my hands and wrapped them carefully around them.
「Exclusive authority #B-714[Move area] acquired.」
「It becomes possible to move to the manager area from anywhere.」
「There is no restriction on movement as long as the manager name is known.
」 It was authority.
‘Anyone who is a manager can move to the manager’s area?’
Its value really varies depending on its use.
Being able to move to the manager’s area from anywhere means that it can be used even within trials.
That is, in a situation on the verge of death, you can always escape to the manager’s area.
Even if it’s not that, it must be an ability that can be used in its own way.
‘Looks like I got something good.’
As I was satisfied with that, I heard a strangely heated laugh from Arya.
“Haah …. This is … This is the warmth of the person who was favored ….”
I was frightened and frightened because it became as if it was obsessed with God.
swish
“Ah…”
“Now that the transfer of authority is over, there’s no need to lend a hand.”
“Ugh… that’s right…”
“Then let’s go collect the [Grail Fragments] from the other camps.”
Now, if you acquire 4 more [Holy Grail Pieces], you can obtain [Holy Grail].
Therefore, it would be right to move now…
“Oh, if that’s the case, fill it with these.”
Arya immediately smiled and took something out of her robe pocket.
It is…
“I knew this and came to Han Seong-yoon and collected things bit by bit.”
「Obtained the [Grail Fragment] of the dark camp.」 「 Obtained the [
Holy Grail Fragment] of the natural camp
.」
.」
These were the [Grail Fragments] that could only be obtained by driving the other faction to ruin.
***
「Time is up.」
「The 7th floor ordeal is over, and the camp with two or more [Grail Fragments] gets the right to go down to the 8th floor.」 「
※The camp that got 10 or more [Holy Grail Fragments] has [Faith of Faith] The [Holy Grail] will be given to the [Deputy].” As
time passed, the end of the ordeal soon approached.
「Conditions satisfied.」
「Challenger Han Seong-yoon’s [Holy Grail Fragment] becomes the [Holy Grail].」
Charle!
All the [Grail Fragments] collected so far spread out in the air, and soon they stuck together to form a small drinking cup.
「Holy Grail」
「Rating: SS+」
「The labyrinth-exclusive Holy Grail obtained by satisfying the special conditions on the 7th floor of the Giant Tree Labyrinth [Holy Land].
」 .」
「You can activate the exclusive effect ‘layer omission [1/1]’ by injecting
magic into the Holy Grail.” ”
This means that you don’t have to go through the trials in the giant tree labyrinth [8th floor] and [9th floor] at all.”
Finally, you have acquired the right to challenge the final level of the labyrinth.
And…
「If you want to skip the ※ level, enter the [Labyrinth Temple] before moving to the final layer.」 「
※ In the [Labyrinth Temple], you can face all the divine beings who participated in the giant tree labyrinth event.
」 Even the opportunity to meet face to face.
