_ Volume 5 Episode 11
111. 23rd. wind spirit. Kashipa (2)
The wind becomes a blade and makes a pongong sound. Taesan waved her hand wide.
The kaang
blade breaks and the air explodes. Taesan leaps through the air. He avoids the attack by jumping in the air and lands on Kashipa’s head, striking down his sword.
As soon as he tries to reach Kashipa’s horn, the wind explodes and pushes the mountain.
Taesan lands on the floor and moves his hands. The wind that was shot like a cannon ball collided with my fist and disappeared.
“It is difficult.”
Taesan shakes his hand. There wasn’t as much damage as he could detect and block them all with scouting, but he wasn’t doing much damage to the spirits either.
Taesan acquired a skill to attack spirits from a spirit that had gone mad, and was able to attack against spirits as well.
However, if the attack did not reach, it meant nothing.
[That’s your limit. Human.]
The spirit in the form of a deer spoke arrogantly.
[I admit that it’s great. Low and intermediate level spirits can’t stop you.]
Attack Nullification, Acceleration, and many other magics.
The power and ability that Taesan showed was at a level that even Kashipa had never seen before. It was too much power for an adventurer on the 23rd floor to acquire.
To be honest, I burst into admiration while continuing the battle.
[But that’s it. Your power can’t touch me.]
“It’s the same with you.”
Kashipa also did not deal much damage to Taesan. It was the attitude that Kashipa didn’t care.
[Your purpose is to kill me. I just need to get you out of here. It is clear which one has the upper hand.]
“Hong.”
Taesan snorted, but did not refute.
Actually it was. His attacks failed to reach Kashpa.
The moment he tried to approach Kashipa, the wind
burst like an explosion and pushed Taesan away. I tried to use Acceleration and Power Possession to stick together, but most of my attempts failed.
Magic also didn’t mean much. The frost arrow was blocked by the wind and its acceleration died, and the fireball was not even implemented in the first place, probably because of the wind flow.
At least the lightning strike was useful, but only the damage to the point where mana was more wasted.
‘It’s more focused on defense than attack.’
At least with his current stats, it wasn’t an impenetrable defense.
[Repent for your arrogance and go back. Human.]
“You don’t like it?”
Kashipa held in a sneer at Taesan’s expression of refusal.
[Ugliness is the symbol of an adventurer. good night. Feel helpless.]
The wind surrounding Kashipa grew thicker. A dark wall that can be seen even without reconnaissance is unfolding.
Taesan waves the tip of his sword. He is an opponent who does not work with everything he has accumulated so far.
“I wanted to practice more, but I can’t help it.”
With a murmur, Taesan kicked his feet. Kashipa laughed as he saw the mountain running towards him.
[It’s like a moth.]
The wind blew into pieces and blew the room. The blackened, burnt grass was cut and scattered like flower petals.
Taesan galloped toward Kashipa. Darkness extended behind him.
[You activated Dekaravia’s Distorted Vegetation.]
Dozens of giant tree roots stick out from the darkness. Kashipa, who had been waiting patiently, is frightened.
[This!]
Coo-goo-goo!
The roots begin to stir and fill the room. The flying pieces of wind are blocked by the roots and disappear.
[You’re not supposed to be a demon!]
Kashipa unleashes a blade of wind with denial. Instead of blocking it with a sword as usual, Taesan
hides behind a root.
Kagagak!
Knife marks appear on the roots. Quite deep, but not enough to fragment the roots. If it’s the power contained in the wind, it’s normal for it to be cut into chunks.
‘ also.’
Neither magic nor aura nor skills could damage the spirits, but only lump magic could damage the spirits. I was convinced of the part I had vaguely guessed from the 21st floor. Black magic
had an advantage
over spirits .
If this is the case, the odds are high. The mountains moved between the roots to avoid the wind and get closer to Kashipa.
[No nonsense.]
The wind grew stronger around Kashipa. The wind that starts accelerating eventually becomes a storm and spreads in front of Mount Tai. Tae-San has a hand in the storm.
[You activated Marcosias’ fake flame.]
A material in the shape of flame pours out. It beats the storm violently and
blows out wild heat.
“A false flame is a material in the shape of a flame. Give continuous damage. How far can you stop it?”
Kiyi!
The storm shakes violently with a tearing sound. A false fire rises up like a living creature and consumes the power of nature.
[dare! Contaminate the spirits with twisted power!]
Kashipa gathers strength with an angry voice. The room is shaken violently by the force of the condensed wind that is about to explode
.
[You activated Raum’s emotional agitation.]
Kashipa was unaffected by random mental attacks in the previous battle. He even laughed as if it were ridiculous.
[Ugh!]
But not this time. Kashipa began to become visibly confused.
The exploding seething wind died down, and the fake flames continued to melt the storm.
At last there was a small gap between the storms. Taesan activated acceleration. He sprinted quickly and put his sword through the gap.
The storm tore through, leaving Kashipa defenseless. Blue flames rose from Taishan’s sword.
[Human!]
“Stop calling me.”
[210 damage to Kashipa.]
The sword moves and the damage window appears. Kashipa roars and collects the wind.
[Hurting a human subject, a spirit, a being of nature!]
“Be noisy.”
Taesan pressed on, triggering Marcosias’ false flames. A material in the form of flames swallowed up the coalescing wind and crushed it.
I knew how to respond. The approach was also successful. So, from here on, it was one-sided.
He inflicted damage with his sword and blocked his opponent’s actions with black magic. The spirit’s skill did not open the system window, but if it was attached like this, the omen
could be read in advance.
Kwajik.
The spirit finally fell. It didn’t take long because my physical strength wasn’t as high as I thought.
[Ha ha ha.]
Kashipa laughed.
[Something like a human being… something like a human being!]
Remorse soon turned into anger. A voice full of hate rang out.
[human! Our King will judge you! You will have to pay the price for daring to touch the spirits!]
“I wonder if the spirit king is here too?”
[He dwells in the deep, deep depths! Fighting against us for something like a mad spirit! You will pay the price for that arrogance!]
“You don’t have to worry. I was going to be hostile to you anyway.”
Taesan delivered the finishing blow. Kashipa’s body was scattered into the air, and the power contained in it was absorbed by Taesan.
[You are a high-level wind spirit. You won against Kashipa.]
[Your level has risen.]
[Your level has risen.]
[Your spirit level has been raised. Permanently increased strength by 32, intelligence by 22, and mana by 60.]
[Your spirit level has been increased.] [
You have acquired the spirit skill [Deer that walks the wind]]
[You have acquired a higher-level spirit core.]
[Acquired the energy of the spirit that is not bound.]
The level rose and the stats rose significantly due to the increase in spirit level. But
more than that, the skill was the first thing I noticed.
[Spirit Skill: Deer that walks on the wind]
[Mana consumption: 10
[Proficiency level: 1%]
[Duration: 30 minutes]
[The spirit that originated from the wind itself can move the cradle in which it was born. During the duration, it exerts an influence on the wind.]
The mana consumption was very large. However, the description of duration was attached.
I could see why the system window didn’t appear when Kashipa controlled the wind. This was because once used, it became a continuous skill.
Taesan tried it right away.
[You activated a deer walking on the windy road.]
A strange sensation came over him.
I could feel the flow of air that I hadn’t paid attention to until now on my skin all over my body. He waved his hands. It was possible to know the direction and trajectory of the wind according to the movement.
Taesan tried to create a wind curtain, recalling the method Kashipa used. The wind condensed and a bluish film formed around Mount Tai.
However, it was very weak and unstable. It was shaking as if it would break at any moment.
Taesan clenched his fists. The wind that formed the curtain exploded and hit the room strongly.
“Is this enough? It’s still hard to use.”
Sensing the strength of the wind, Taesan murmured
.
I don’t know if it’s because he’s not a spirit or because he lacks proficiency, but it wasn’t a level that could be used for attack or defense.
Still, it wasn’t that I couldn’t use it at all. First of all, the fact that it was a continuous skill was great. You can use it freely for 30 minutes, so it was enough in the area of assisting movement.
For enemies much weaker than that, the Spirit skill alone would be sufficient.
It’s a useful skill. After making that decision, Taesan checked the items he had obtained.
[Higher Spirit Core]
[The Spirit Core. alone and strong If the self does not exist in nature, it will become a spirit.]
It looked like a quest item. You can take it to the crazy spirit. Taesan confirmed the other one as well.
[The energy of the spirit that is not bound]
[The spirit is not bound. Among them, the spirit of the wind flies in the sky and
has the property of being unconstrained. If you use it for specific equipment, you will get special powers.]
“This is also a smelting item.”
Gradually, the timing to finish refining the materials he entrusted to him increased the number of reasons to visit him.
After confirming, Taesan cleaned up the room and left. I asked the ghost as I headed towards the boss room.
“Have you seen the Spirit King?”
Kashipa had spoken of their king. It was said that they lived in the depths, and
the ghosts were also adventurers who went down to the depths.
[I did. But I wasn’t interested.]
“Why?”
[He was a guide to sin.]
The ghost said calmly. It was an unexpected word.
“Were you an adventurer, not a monster or NPC?”
[After all, spirits are part of a species like demons and humans. There is no reason to enter the labyrinth in the form of a monster. I don’t know what came for. I wasn’t interested in the
weak .]
There was a faint anger in his nonchalant voice.
[Come to think of it, did he also contribute to killing me? Then you have a purpose. I’m tearing him to death as well.]
“Let’s postpone that until later.”
Taishan has reached the boss on the 23rd floor.
The boss is an intermediate wind spirit. Of course it was easily handled. He defeated a high-ranking spirit, but there was no way he could compete with an intermediate level.
[Your level has risen.]
[Your spirit level has been raised. Strength increased by 15 permanently. Agility has increased by 18 permanently.]
[A snakeskin belt has been acquired.]
[??? has been obtained.]
[Your level has reached 55.]
[You can use the labyrinth system to achieve the wizard’s wish. You have reached the beginning of the level. The wizard who enjoys your growth gives you a special benefit.]
[Choose a reward.]
[1: Provision of special equipment.]
[2: Proficiency increase of a specific skill.]
[3: Permanent increase of a specific stat. Personification rises.]
[4: Overall knowledge of the labyrinth.]
[5: Some of the hidden truths of the labyrinth.]
[6: One desired piece of information. However, there are conditions and restrictions.]
