245. Reward increase (3)
Gwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwang—!
A storm of blood shattered all the buildings in black flames.
Gambling halls, arena, auction halls, shopping malls, gymnasiums, etc…
Countless facilities were hit directly by a black bloody storm in the blink of an eye and disappeared.
Seeing that, I smiled lightly.
‘…It’s definitely easier to mix skills than before, probably because my skill proficiency has gone up.’
Could it be because of raising the mastery of Unextinguished Mortal Flame as an item?
Unlike before, it was not enough to activate the skill easily, and even the skill output rose slightly.
It’s a blow that was created by controlling the blood generated by the Blood Demon Artifact with the seeker of fresh blood and shooting it by surrounding it with an unextinguished mortal flame
.
Of course, since the mana in the body is consumed by 10% per second, it cannot be maintained for very long.
This was enough.
「Accomplished the achievement ‘Destruction of Residential Area’.」
For destroying a town in a common area occupied by vigilantes. 「Exclusive authority #D-0007 [Increase reward
] is activated automatically when the conditions are met.」
「The reward level obtained from achievements increases.」
「All stats increase by 4.」
popped up a bit
It was worth it.
Until now, the reward increase didn’t activate unless I used it myself, but…
I didn’t know that the reward increase authority would apply to achievement rewards as well.
‘…Amazing. Is this the real right to increase rewards?’
Come to think of it, it was said that the reward increase was upgraded and all kinds of rewards could be increased.
This means that you can now enhance not only achievement rewards, but also all other rewards as well.
Thinking about it made me smile.
Should I say it was worth the hassle of going through the 21st floor common area instead of going straight to the next floor?
satisfied enough.
‘If I can use it properly, it will be extremely helpful.’
However, admiring the newly acquired right to increase rewards was short-lived.
“AA AA AA…! You’re like a rotten demon! What the hell are you thinking, doing such a dog thing to a vigilante—”
Arc van Heustiger, who had been escorted to the common area, shouted in a fit of panic.
His face was wrinkled as if he had seen something terrible.
At that, I took out the sword that was tied around my waist and decapitated him.
And that too without the slightest hesitation.
Slow-!
「Absorbed the spirit of the challenger, ‘Ark Van Heustiger’.」
「Challenger Seongyoon Han won 0.0004% closer to ascension by winning against an incapacitated enemy.」
My heart wasn’t heavy at all.
In the first place, the only reason why Ark Van Heustiger was kept alive was to use him as a guide.
I arrived at the place I wanted, so there was no need to prolong my life.
It would be better to change it to one of the commandments and use it anywhere.
As I wiped off the blood from my sword and looked at the messy common area, I heard a voice.
―You do a splendid job. Perhaps doing this would bother you a lot. That’s a lot too.
It was Damcheonwoo.
“What do you mean by annoying?”
―You must have heard about the Ares dimension while climbing the tower? The Ares dimension has an empire, and all the knights belong to the empire.
“Oh, I’ve heard that.”
-So that’s a problem. The vigilantes who occupied the common area on the 21st floor were probably from the Empire. If you kill all over hundreds of people, the Empire will make it a feat.
“It doesn’t matter.”
At that, I smiled as I looked at the horribly collapsing buildings.
“Even if I become an enemy of the empire, it will only benefit me.”
Even if you turn the empire into an enemy, it doesn’t matter.
This cannot be dismissed as too optimistic.
It was worth it.
It’s already enough to call me a walking natural disaster.
“And if I’m in the tower, even the Empire won’t be able to touch me that directly.”
Even as a candidate among the challengers to climb the tower, he is being protected to some extent by the tower.
But can the Empire pour all its power into me?
Probably not.
At best, it would be to the extent of urging the challenger in the upper layer to intrude into the layer.
Even if they tried to intrude into the hierarchy, there was only one challenger to deal with.
I didn’t think I could beat it.
“If the empire turns me into an enemy, I will only destroy the empire.”
And later, when the day comes when the strength is sufficiently accumulated, it was the intention to greedily take the fruit.
A fruit named Empire that contains the sweetest juice.
Feeling a little bit of anticipation for him, I heard Dam Chun-wu laugh.
But…
―…I always think about it. Sungyoon Han. You guys are definitely crazy. The blood demon principal will guarantee it.
It was more of a sense of fun than of being ridiculous.
―Then I will watch what you do.
And at the end of those words, I felt the mana vibrating between the collapsed buildings.
It’s also a very dense magical power.
It’s nothing else… 「
The special power ‘Battlefield of the Proud ‘ is activated, making it impossible to escape within a certain area.”
It will be consumed.]
「The special power ‘Grace of the War King who favors knights’ is activated, and those who are classified as knights become greatly stronger.
」
Now they are ready to fight in earnest on the other side.
***
I laughed as I read all the system messages that popped into my field of vision.
It seems that various area effects were prepared while occupying the common area
.
Most of it is an effect of the kind that can be offset anyway.
‘There’s no such thing as penetrating, magic recovery prohibition, or skill sealing.’
At this point, it’s kind of disappointing.
It was worth it.
Goddesses or high-level wizards applied really annoying effects to the Deokji Deokji area.
However, to think that there are only so many people who claim to be protecting the common area on the 21st floor…
“It’s pitiful.”
I clicked my tongue at him and walked right to the village where the vigilantes were located, and the bite came right away.
Dozens of knights in black armor appeared between the ruined buildings.
The power of those caught by the senses was not so great.
Roughly speaking, it is on the same level as the articles I saw as soon as I entered the common area on the 21st floor.
As soon as they all saw me, they were greatly shocked and began to surround me as if they were encamping.
“The assailant… The assailant has appeared! Everyone surround this madman!”
“A guy who wouldn’t mind chewing on this…! You show off well! I will kill you!”
“Everyone, stay calm. Anyway, because of the authority, he will soon run out of stamina.”
Some were amazed, some were furious, and some were scornful.
But no one seemed to be concerned.
It was clear that he just wanted this situation to be sorted out quickly.
It’s as if he’s fully prepared now, so he can defeat me at any time.
‘It’s fun.’
Of course I did.
Currently, there are about 400 people in this common area.
In other words, if they were all considered vigilantes, there were at least as many knights who knew how to handle swordsmanship.
So it was not strange for everyone to believe that the fight would be over soon.
But…
“I don’t like it very much.”
Because of that, the feeling of wanting to destroy this thorough trust grew stronger.
「The skill ‘Adversary of the Realm’ is activated.」
「All stats are boosted by +10% when dealing with a group alone.」
The moment one of the trivial skills obtained in the < Proof Field > was activated the other day.
Shuk-.
Immediately after that, I raised my right foot slightly and stepped on it as if I was stamping the ground.
neither slow nor fast.
It was just a simple step-like movement.
Footsteps without even carrying magic power.
That’s why the knights didn’t pay much attention, and in the end, it was the cause of their death.
It’s not different-.
And science and science ─ !!
As soon as he stepped on the ground, the floor cracked open and a shockwave was generated.
In the twinkling of an eye, neatly paved common areas roads crumble.
Soon, even the exposed dirt floor was overturned as if the earth’s surface exploded at once.
It’s also very strong.
‘It was rewarding to raise my abilities to the fullest in < The Field of Proof >.’
Is it because of the stacking of all stat increases and various stat increase potions obtained while passing < The Field of Proof >?
A shallow earthquake could be triggered more easily than expected.
Of course, this isn’t like a trump card that can kill enemies…
Well, at least it was enough for the knights to destroy the formations around me needlessly.
“I can move more freely now.”
Dirt dust spread thickly as if obscuring the view.
I couldn’t see where the enemies were, but I didn’t have to.
It’s also true that you can tell where your enemies are with your senses.
Because there is a way to deal with them at once anyway.
In response, I immediately replaced the divinity inside my body with cold energy and spilled that energy on the uneven ground.
So, so, so, so…!!
「The authority ‘King of Winter’ is activated automatically when the conditions are met.」
「All stats are boosted by +10% and the user is not affected by cold at all.」
The cold energy imbued with divinity gathers dust and sweeps the ground at the same time. thoroughly frozen.
Soon, the conditions for activating the authority were satisfied, and as the ‘King of Winter’, the whole body was greatly energized.
And soon, in the place where the dust disappeared…
As I thought, there were knights who were directly hit by the cold and howled in pain.
“Ah ah ah ah! Damn it! Bar feet! My feet are frozen…! Aaaah!”
“Are you a challenger specializing in body strengthening? How could this be possible?”
“shit! Don’t get burned and attack quickly! If we don’t take the time, we’ll all die!”
However, among the knights, those with skill were not injured.
It was no different than protecting the body with an item or skill.
They all started using their various abilities to pass the time.
Skill characteristics, powers, etc….
I used everything I could use to minimize the damage and spent my time meaninglessly.
‘I think I know why they’re doing this.’
It was worth it.
「It has been 4 minutes since exposure to the special power ‘Realm of the Desperate’.」「
Challenger Sungyoon Han’s physical strength is reduced by 50% based on her maximum physical strength.」
「Challenger Seongyoon Han’s recovery speed of all physical strength is greatly slowed. 」
As time passed, the special power that was set at the beginning activated an additional effect.
That too in the form of a significant drop in stamina.
I couldn’t help but admire him to some extent.
I hope you will be so persistent.
‘If it were Murim, I think I would have tried not to use skills and powers even if I died.’
Admitted.
Certainly, the challenger from the Ares dimension was strong.
At least it seems certain that he is better as a challenger than the Moorim people…
“You did it…! I finally cut off that madman’s stamina! All charge—”
Still, it didn’t matter much.
「Moonlight protection, the exclusive effect of the wrist guard (A) with moonlight, is activated.」 「
A shield made of moonlight covers the whole body in proportion to the amount of magic power consumed by the user.」
“What the hell is that…! Could it be that you were hiding your power…?”
That should be the case…
「Conditions satisfied.」
「Physical advantage < Moonlight Favor > activated.」
「With moonlight, all stats increase by 10%.」
「With moonlight, all types of growth speed increases by 10%. I do.」
So far, I’ve only dealt with them with the aim of analyzing half of them anyway.
