226. 20th floor (4)
“Do you want to participate in the 20th floor ordeal?”
I agreed with the system message that popped into my view, but I couldn’t enter the ordeal as I thought.
“Challengers are being matched…”
“Please wait until matching is completed.”
“Currently matched number of challengers – 1001/3000”
A message appears asking if there are any conditions for the combined trial position, and the trial position is in the process of being matched. it is delayed
“Ah….”
It was the message he had seen before, when he had only climbed the tower a few floors before.
Apparently, this unification ordeal seemed to be a large-scale competition between different challengers.
The result of losing a little steam….
If the matching is not done anyway, the ordeal is meaningless, so there is no choice but to wait.
However, I did not intend to sit back and relax like this.
‘Now that this has happened, shall we take care of the remaining tasks?’
It was worth it.
It was because there were two more slots that could be used to create Power Skills while obtaining divine < Rules > and < Harmony >.
Competition and cooperation between other challengers is the main thing, so I don’t think it’s very dangerous
.
It would be right to challenge the trial after learning the authority skill in this place.
The power skill was originally meant to be created after careful consideration, but suddenly I had time, so I thought deeply.
But that was only for a moment.
“I can’t help it.”
Anyway, it wouldn’t take too much time to create a power skill right here.
That would be the case too…
It’s because it’s decided what to get if you acquire the Authority skill.
In fact, without hesitation, I quickly selected the candidates for the Power skill.
「Unique Divine Authority < Transcendence (SSS+) > is activated.」
「You can bind your ability to Divinity to cancel the limit.」
「Freely choose the ability to enter the transcendence possible state up to [3/5].」
and.
「The skill ‘Ashen Blood (A-)’ is bound to the Divine < Transcendence > and the limit is lifted.」 「
The skill ‘Starlight Starlight (S-)’ is bound to the Divine < Transcendence > and the limit is lifted.」
Next moment . 「The skill ‘Ashen Blood (A-)’ is attributed to Divinity
and converted into the Authority skill ‘Ashen Blood (A-)’.」
」
「The skill ‘Starlight Starlight (S-)’ is attributed to Divinity and converted into the Authority skill ‘Starlight (S-)’.」 「Changed from
Skill to Authority, all parts of the skill configuration that correspond to limits have been changed. 」
The divine power in the heart swayed once and a power skill was created.
In response, I immediately rolled up the sleeve of my left arm and quickly lowered the blade.
Kagagak!
There was a sound of scratching stones, probably because of the extremely high durability value, but the wounds were clearly marked enough to be seen.
And accordingly, the gray blood skill was activated.
「The power skill ‘Ashen Blood’ is activated.」
「Regenerative power increases according to the amount of holy power consumed.」
「Body regenerative power increases by 400% and immunity to all non-regenerative abilities」
Originally, the durability value and body damage The regeneration efficiency was increased by ….
Now, without any minor conditions, you can increase the regeneration power by consuming the divine power as you wish.
Even the pain resistance effect from the skill disappeared without a trace, but instead became immune to all non-regenerative abilities.
‘As I thought, it’s a good effect.’
Then, I activated the holy light that I had been using steadily until now as an authority skill.
「The power skill skill ‘Starlight’ is activated, and starlight containing the divine < death > is created.」
Surprisingly, not much has changed about the starlight.
At most, it’s about being able to put divinity into the Holy Light skill.
Even that was less valuable than using divine power directly.
But I could feel it.
It became an authority skill, and a skill that originally did not grow has evolved into a form that can grow.
Perhaps that alone would be of great benefit, so there was no complaint.
Satisfied with that, I soon finished the skill check and turned my eyes elsewhere.
It’s not different…
‘Come to think of it, I have to learn the martial arts of the lightsaber…’
It was because I suddenly remembered a nameless secret in my inventory.
However, I didn’t intend to see the secret level right away when I remembered it.
It wasn’t that I didn’t have that much time, and it was because I thought there might be a trap for something like the divine < Harmony >.
‘…Well, if you finish the 20th floor ordeal, you will be given time anyway, so it won’t matter if you learn it later.’
And then, at just the right time, a system message popped up saying that the matching was caught.
「The challengers have been matched.」
It seems that the challengers have finally gathered enough to proceed with the trial…
‘I’m looking forward to it.’
Now is the time to really challenge the 20th floor ordeal.
***
After crossing the portal created in the center of the waiting room, a system message popped up as usual.
「Enter the 20th floor of the Tower of Trials.」
「Difficulty – Hard」
「The theme of this ordeal is ‘Role-Playing Combat’.」
「I hope that the challenger will have a satisfactory result after the penance he/she chooses.」
This 20th floor integrated ordeal The subject matter was the unheard of and unseen concept of role-playing combat.
Are they fighting each other while taking on certain roles?
I couldn’t imagine it because I had to use something like role-playing in the battle.
So, rather than hastily guessing about the contents of the ordeal, I started looking around.
“…”
It didn’t take long to find out about the trial starting location.
“Is it a fortress?”
It was worth it.
No matter where you look, this place has a look that should be called a fortress.
Of course, for some reason, the building itself was built of black bricks, unlike normal forts, but there
was no time to question that fact.
「Start the 20th floor ordeal.」
「Remaining time – 1 day」
「Order breakthrough condition – carry out the mission appropriately for the assigned role within the remaining time」
「Trial failure condition – challenger death or the end of the remaining time」
「Trial Breakthrough Reward – All stats +20”
「Trial Failure Penalty – Death」
This is because the 20th floor ordeal started right away.
However, when I read the details of the ordeal that popped up in the system message, I frowned.
This is because no matter where you look at the content of the trials, you can’t see anything like cooperation with other challengers.
‘I called 3,000 challengers to the same trial, but there is no such thing as a team member…?’
In short, this 20th floor trial means that there is a very high probability that it will be held as an individual exhibition…
I don’t know why the tower prefers such a needlessly messy method.
Rather, it would have been better to gather hundreds of people in the same place and have them fight right away.
Even though there were about 3000 challengers gathered, it was strange that no sign was felt within the fort.
“I don’t know what the 20th floor ordeal was thinking like this.”
I felt a sense of alienation from him, but I couldn’t do anything, so I started walking.
After walking for a while and looking inside the fort, I was able to obtain one additional piece of information.
It is not different that this fort looks like a palace.
It’s not very meaningful information…
‘It’s embarrassing that I don’t know why.’
It was not enough that it was all black, and it was decorated in a form close to the royal palace, so I felt deja vu.
And that sense of déjà vu soon moved to a place like the terrace in the royal palace and acquired a sense of reality.
That would be the case too…
“Is that a lie…?”
It was because I could see the challengers crossing the land where no one knew.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Until now, I had wondered why I hadn’t seen so many challengers around…
Now I could understand why.
In addition, the reason why the team members were not assigned.
It’s nothing else…
「The role currently assigned to challenger Han Seong-yoon is [Demon King].」
「In this war, challenger Han Seong-yoon must defeat all enemies single-handedly to achieve her goal.」
「[Saint] · [Hero] ] · Kill the challenger who plays the role of the [Pope] to win the war.」 「
※ Depending on how well you performed the mission, the [Role Playing Battle Achievement Rate] will be recorded.」 「
※Until the end of the trial, [Role] If the [playing battle achievement rate] is below 70%, the trial is considered a failure.”
In this 20th floor trial, I was assigned a single role without a team.
That’s very important too.
Once I realized that, things quickly started to make sense.
I’m guessing that the people running over there are probably from the camp opposite to my role.
“…”
I smiled dejectedly at him.
“Unreasonable ordeals that are absurdly unreasonable are now appearing as if they are eating…”
Even though it is unlucky that the trials always become difficult…
. felt
That’s proof that absurd situations happen so often that you can adapt.
But the sadness was only momentary.
“I can’t help it.”
Whatever it is, there are additional rewards to be gained in this situation.
「The divine authority ‘deification’ is activated.」
「It becomes possible to exercise the divine authority according to the potential divinity.」
「The potential divinity is < transcendence > < death > < immortality > < reversal > < observation > < discipline > < harmony > .」
So…
[The only choice is to become the demon king. ]
Now it’s time to rampage based on the results of growth.
***
「Myth < Last Savior > is activated.」
「The effect of < Salvation > is activated.」
「All stats are permanently increased by 1.」
「The effect of < Savior > is activated. Activated.」
「Currently, there are 54779 followers, so the divine power is greatly enhanced.
」
In the blink of an eye, a golden divinity enveloped his entire body, and his spirit level rose dramatically.
Is it because the basic spirit level was raised even with the Ascension effect attached to the mythological < Possibility of Transcendence >?
In the previous battle with the usurper, it seemed to be stronger than when he used Apotheosis.
In fact, Dam Chun-wu also reacted as if he felt it.
―… Huh. To think that divinity could become this strong in such a short amount of time. Great, great.
I smiled at him and replied.
[It’s strange if you win against a godhead and don’t become this strong. ]
The usurper didn’t deal with too many myths, but he was still a fairly powerful opponent.
So it was right that the victory reward was high.
Even after a short period of time, I defeated Dam Seon-Muk in the < Blood Ceremony > quest on the 19th floor.
It was only natural that he would accelerate his growth since he had dealt with many strong enemies.
‘Even on the 18th floor stage, the number of followers is still steadily increasing.’
In addition, the divine power of Shinhwa < The Last Savior > gets stronger as time passes.
Of course, now the growth trend is not shown in noticeable figures.
Gather dust and call it Taishan.
These will one day be of great help to me.
After thinking about that, I activated my mighty skill while watching the challengers advancing while shaking the ground.
「The power skill skill ‘Star Light’ is activated, and starlight containing divine < death > is created.」
Hwaaa-!
The holy light, which was newly transformed into a power skill, was emitting a dark red light more intense than before.
And that too while preserving the divinity < death >.
Presumably, those who are touched by the light of this holy light will die.
[Let’s start by reducing the number by half. ]
After clearing half of the needlessly many challengers, it will be much easier to search for [Saint], [Hero], or [Pope].
Because there will be no one who can protect them.
At that, I smiled lightly and soon fired the starlight as if waving my hand, and the starlight accelerated greatly and rushed into a large army.
But something was strange.
self.
[What else is this…]
Suddenly, the sacred power in the Holy Light shook noticeably and became unstable.
and.
《 Starlight that contains divinity. Become ashes and disappear. 》
Next moment.
A magician wearing a sky-blue divinity appeared from the sky…
“The power skill ‘Starlight’ disappears due to the divinity < Sword Spirit >.”
A voice containing the divinity resounded, and the starlight disappeared without leaving any form. .
[ …under. ]
To that, I muttered coldly with my eyes narrowed.
[Funny. ]
It’s nothing else…
[I never thought I’d meet a candidate other than me right away in the trials on the 20th floor.]
「The inexperienced God of Words looks at you and laughs at you.」
Among the challengers, a candidate who received divinity from the tower like me appeared.
