298. Special Tier (3)
「Enter the Tower of Trials < Special Tier: Compression Trials >.」
「Difficulty – Difficulty」 「The subject of the
ordeal is ‘Demon World’.」
I hope there will be satisfactory results.」
Special layer.
“…”
I was dumbfounded when I saw the result of arbitrarily compressing the trials, saying that the Tower of Trials adjusts the levels according to the level of difficulty.
Is it because it’s a phenomenon I’ve never seen while climbing the tower?
For some reason, a throbbing headache arose in my head, and I couldn’t help but sigh.
He would be like that too…
“Isn’t this a little…”
Compressing all four layers into one layer and combining them?
Considering that the difficulty level of all levels boasted a semi-transcendent level while climbing the tower recently, it could be said that it was actually the worst ordeal.
At least one official divinity should be seen as intertwined.
Even if you have reached a higher level of deity, it is not very pleasant to meet a formal deity that deals with divinity in the concept realm so often.
But that doesn’t mean I don’t understand it at all.
‘…Is it because I reached the level of a higher godhead this time?’
As I continued my thoughts slowly, I thought I knew roughly why this happened.
He fulfilled the iron-blooded lord’s wish and obtained the highest level of divinity that the tower could give following the leaping divine status and the transcendence myth < Spirit Tuning >.
So, with the same level of trials as before, you won’t feel that difficult.
Perhaps, the Tower seemed to have judged that the level of the hierarchy itself should be raised at once in line with the newly acquired power.
Even that in an unprecedented way that merges the hierarchy itself.
“Even so, I didn’t know that the hierarchy itself would be merged like this.”
At this point, it’s beyond absurd that my eyes go dark.
―Huh….
And Damcheonwu said it as if he was dumbfounded.
-I had never seen anything like this before.
Originally, Dam Chun-wu, the top challenger who reached the 41st floor of the tower, seemed to have seen this phenomenon for the first time.
―Are you adjusting the level of difficulty like this
because the level of divinity is getting higher?
Perhaps even the challengers who reached the 40th floor didn’t seem to treat it like this…
It was like the tower started to care more about me here than the challengers on the 40th floor.
‘Is the Tower’s interest growing rapidly?’
At that, I had to weigh whether this was a benefit or a loss, frowning.
It was worth it.
There must still be several candidates selected by TOP.
There are many challengers that the Tower of Trials can grow into a god, just like Seir Nagrat, a challenger with the divine < Spoiler >.
By the way….
What should I look at the meaning of pouring a lot of attention to me over so many candidates.
‘Perhaps the Tower could have decided on me as a candidate suitable for its purpose.’
Maybe the Tower chose me as a means to get rid of all deities.
Considering what T.O.P had shown me so far, the credibility was considerable.
But can it be viewed positively?
“…”
However, there was no time to continue deep thoughts.
「The special class ordeal begins.」
「Remaining time – 14 days」
「Order breakthrough condition – obtain the position of the supreme monarch of Pandemonium within the remaining time」
「Order failure condition – the death of the challenger or the end of the remaining time」
「 Reward for breaking through the trial – an old demonic sword (SSS) used by an unknown god”
「Penalty for failing the trial – death」
It’s nothing else…
.
The moment the system message announcing the start of the ordeal appeared.
In an instant, the scene in front of my eyes began to change.
The desolate appearance of the waiting room disappeared before I knew it, and the purple-tinged earth came into my eyes, and the demonic energy that spread in the air pressed my body as if stabbing me.
Right-.
「Achievement ‘Exploration of the Pandemonium’ has been achieved.」
「Exclusive authority #D-0007 [Increase reward] is activated automatically when the conditions are met.」
「The level of rewards obtained from the achievement increases.」
「All stats increase by 10. Now the time has come for
the real trial to begin.
***
The sudden ordeal forced me to stop thinking.
‘…Now I don’t have time to think quietly.’
It was worth it.
The current system message announced the start of the ordeal that compressed a total of four layers.
However, there was still no way I could continue the thought of reading the tower’s intentions.
At least you should know where you are and what to do.
‘…If I think about the tower, I won’t be able to come up with a meaningful answer right now.’
That’s why I immediately activated one of my powers and blocked the presence neatly.
「The special power ‘Ghost Sacred Art’ is activated.」
「All energy is converted to a state of being blocked.」
Previously, the ability acquired as a reward from the 19th floor < Blood World Ceremony > became a veil of seclusion and covered its power.
―Even if you don’t have actual fighting skills, stealth itself is a good ability to use…
And as soon as the presence disappeared, Damcheonwu said that and asked a question.
-So what are you going to do now?
Perhaps you are asking how to proceed with the ordeal.
“…well. Shouldn’t we start exploring first? There is virtually no information.”
I couldn’t come up with a very meaningful answer anyway.
Currently, the conditions for clearing the ordeal are set to ‘obtain the position of the supreme monarch of the underworld’.
However, even so, it was not possible to immediately satisfy the conditions for clearing the ordeal.
In fact, I didn’t know anything about the Demon Realm, so I couldn’t really figure out what the hell I was supposed to do.
At best, all we can know is that this place called the Demon World is deeply related to the devil?
‘…uh?’
And having reached that point, I had no choice but to stop walking.
‘…Wait a devil?’
He would be like that too…
“….”
It’s because an idea flashed in his head before he knew it.
Come to think of it, do you really need to explore the Demon Realm yourself?
All you have to do is hire a local guide anyway.
And…
「The skill ‘Contact Area Detection’ is activated.」
「Detects the area the foot is touching and delivers the information there to the user.
」
Without using magic at all, I was able to roughly estimate who was where and how wide this land was.
To put it mildly, the performance is not as good as using Kigam, but… It
could be said that it was a very good skill to detect a certain area while hiding one’s presence.
‘I don’t know what’s going on in the Pandemonium anyway, so there’s nothing wrong with being careful.’
Can not help it.
Considering that the difficulty level of the ordeals accumulated so far has been stacked 4 times, this place must be a demonic realm in the true sense.
In its own way, it is an ordeal that combines a total of four ordeals, but how could it be that the divinity was not intertwined?
Until we found out information about this place, it was right to refrain from using magic or divinity as much as possible.
Even if you don’t have a higher level of godhood, when you reach the level of a formal godhead, your ability to sense will transcend that of a mortal.
So from now on, it seemed that I would mainly use the skill.
‘…But thanks to that, I’ll use the useless skills I’ve acquired so far at least once.’
Even if it wasn’t, he absorbed countless spirits and acquired a lot of skills.
…Well, these aren’t very useful skills, but they should be worth using this time.
That’s why I kicked off the ground and soared into the air as soon as I finished scanning the area.
Whoa…!
「The wind spirit’s boots (A+) exclusive effect, ‘Wind Road’, is activated.」
Then, while receiving the auxiliary effect of the item, I started air maneuvering at once.
Divine power and magical power were difficult to use, so they relied on items as much as possible to move.
―…You’re doing something troublesome. Are you careful even though you have become a high-level deity? I’m sure you can handle any enemy anyway.
“…It’s an ordeal that combines the four layers. Even if you become a high-ranking deity, there is nothing wrong with being careful.”
Dam Chun-wu grumbled when he saw him move with his strength hidden as much as possible…
but he really couldn’t do anything about it.
Although I had defeated the evil god before and became a high-ranking deity, I could still say that I was closer to a formal deity rather than a higher-level deity.
Should I say that it is classified as the weakest among the top deities?
Actually…
―That’s true, but…
Damcheonwu was speechless as if he knew that he wasn’t yet a perfect high-ranking deity.
―…Still, I don’t really like it.
“I agree.”
―But it’s not wise to show off your strength… Tsk. I was frustrated because the situation was suddenly twisted.
“Is that so.”
At that, I let out a chuckle and tapped the blade of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword to continue talking.
“But it won’t be stuffy for that long.”
and.
“Anyway, as soon as we get the information, we’ll move in the original way.”
After saying that, the moment I looked down.
Quagga gag gag gag—!
“These useless things!! How dare you challenge me, the henchman of the 47 Lords, to a duel!!”
“Ha ha ha ha! okay! I will kill you and raise the position of the 62nd monarch to that of the 47th!”
“gibberish…! The 51st monarch is the one who will rise to the position of the 47th monarch!! You guys are just scapegoats!”
Before I knew it, I could see those fighting fiercely with each other on the purple land.
Dark magic that reminds me of the ancient devil I saw in the giant tree labyrinth.
However, unlike the ancient demons, the appearance itself shared some of the human category.
That means one thing.
-It’s a demon.
Dam Chun-wu, who saw the battle going on below, calmly came up with the correct answer.
―Looking at the horns growing on his head and his tail reminiscent of a cat or lizard, he must be a high-ranking demon.
“Hmm…”
―I don’t know what it is, but seeing as he’s talking about being a monarch, I think it’s probably related to the conditions for clearing the ordeal?
“It seems that way.”
The 47th, the 62nd, the 51st…
Although he was pouring out words that I couldn’t understand properly, I still got a sense of it to some extent.
Because the clearing condition of the special class ordeal received this time is ‘obtaining the position of the supreme monarch of the underworld’.
If so, perhaps the information they have will soon lead to the conditions for clearing the ordeal.
‘Then I can’t just sit and watch.’
Having come to that conclusion after a brief thought, I quickly set foot on the ground.
Chak-.
「The skill ‘Proof of Divinity’ is activated.」
「According to the level of divinity, a formless pressure is developed outside.」
The moment I activated the skill obtained by killing an unknown apostle of evil spirits.
Deed—!!
“…!!”
“Well huh …!?”
“What is this? oh where are you! Where does this presence come from…!”
The demons, who had been fighting fiercely in an instant, found it difficult to stand and vomited out pain.
It didn’t take long for the eyes of the people here to focus on me.
After a few seconds at most passed, everyone looked at me with faces stained with astonishment.
And…
“Hello?”
Only then did I greet them with a smile and a friendly tone.
「The skill ‘Manmaji King萬魔之王’ is activated.」
“Is there anyone I can talk to?”
And that, too, with the power of being infinitely gregarious (?) to the devil.
