“Hmm.”
Taesan stared blankly at the system window.
It was the first explanation he had ever seen. Not only that, but it was an explanation that even normal and hard mode players hadn’t seen.
Only Taeyeon Lee said that she saw this privilege window.
[what. did you get this already? I went down and received a lot.]
The ghost murmured. It seemed to be a privilege given to those who surpassed a certain level of growth.
“What shall I choose?”
Taesan murmured. six choices. All of it was charming.
“What did you pick?”
[me? I chose my equipment. Give me pretty good equipment. It’s not as good as the weapon I gave you or the ring you have, but it’s equipment that you can only get if you go 10 floors down from the floor you belong to.]
That was definitely good equipment. For a normal player, choosing equipment
might have been the answer.
“If you look at a similar level, the potion of mastery will also increase by about 3-4%.”
It also definitely had its merits. Currently, Taesan had a skill that was on the verge of hitting 100%. I was able to shoot 100% just by receiving and using it.
But neither was necessary.
As you go down the labyrinth, your skill level will rise someday. The speed is frustrating, but not unattainable.
Of course, I don’t know if there is a skill that is greatly needed right now,
but there is no such skill, so the priority is relatively low.
The same goes for equipment. If you can go down to the 30th floor without any problems, there is no reason to change your equipment until you give up something else.
Same goes for stats. There was no value to be gained by discarding other rewards.
The overall knowledge of the labyrinth was also not very attractive. He had previous life experiences and remembered the words Lee Tae-yeon had talked about. Since he even had a ghost with him,
he was able to get all the rough information.
So, the options are narrowed down to the following two.
“Truth and Information.”
The truth is about gods, wizards, monsters and NPCs. Information about them, I guess. There was nothing bad to know about Taesan, who would bump into them a lot.
The info wasn’t bad either. There are conditions and restrictions, but being able to know what you want was a great advantage.
Taesan pondered and made a decision.
“For the sixth time.”
I want to know the truth too, but I didn’t really need it that much. Moreover, since he had many relationships with God, there was a high possibility that he would come to know him gradually.
As Taesan made a decision, the bottom of the labyrinth rose. The bricks were assembled together to form a gigantic device.
[I am a minion of the great wizard. The one who sees all things. Barbaba.]
The device opened its brick eye.
[He who descends the wizard’s labyrinth. What did you call me out of curiosity?]
[What is it? Was this guy answering?]
The ghost muttered in a surprised tone. It seemed that he knew about the existence called Barbaba Bamba.
“who?”
[A kind of guide who tells the basic strategy. When you go down the depths, some liver will appear and guide you or tell you about the labyrinth. Because he answered all the questions and gave all the solutions, the adventurers believed that he knew everything about the labyrinth.]
Everything.
There was a lot of meaning in it. As if guessing Taesan’s thoughts, the ghost spoke.
[There were a few guys who tried to subdue them, but they disappeared without leaving a speck of dust. After that, no one touched me.]
[I’m a wizard’s minion. This is a labyrinth created by a wizard. The absolute law is in my hands.]
Barbabamba said calmly.
[The same goes for knowledge. ask a question I am the one who knows the labyrinth. I’ll give you an answer.]
“It’s about the acquisition conditions for skills.”
Taesan learned several skills. Among them, there were skills that were virtually impossible to learn. It was a skill that even the adventurers who went down to the depths after seeing the ghost’s reaction did not know about it.
That’s why Taesan became curious.
“Are the skills designed by the magician himself or are they created according to conditions?”
Have you learned a skill you already have? Or
did Taesan acquire the skill
because of his accomplishments ?
It was a question of which came first, the egg or the chicken?
[Ask a question.]
The bricks that made up Barbaba Bamba collided violently with each other. Like a puzzle being put together, the angles were aligned one by one, and the collision stopped. Balbabamba opened her eyes.
[…I understand the reason for the question.]
The brick pupils had a strange energy.
[Is that kind of use possible? I laughed at him for focusing his energy on meaningless things when he was making it, but
it was a hasty decision. I never thought I would see the results right in front of my eyes.]
“So what?”
[I will give you an answer. Skills are not made. It is created according to the achievements achieved.]
“As expected.”
[Human spirit demon tribe and many other races. Skills are created when they perform unreasonable feats or when they do something repetitively. Once a skill is created, it is fixed and can be learned by others. That is the skill of the labyrinth and
the grace of the wizard.]
It was difficult to see that all skills were anticipated and made in advance. It was the method of skill creation that continued to be created.
It was said that depending on what Taesan did, he could acquire countless skills that he hadn’t acquired in his previous life.
Taesan smiled.
I had thought of this and that in my previous life, but there were tests I couldn’t take due to lack of time, space, and other conditions. It was worth testing all those conditions
.
Balbabamba gave Taesan a strange look.
[Was it designed for this? Fun. Are your questions answered?]
Taesan nodded. Barbabam Ba continued.
[Then, there are conditions.]
Instead of giving information, conditions and restrictions are created. That part has already been explained.
[Don’t tell anyone what you learned. If the information leaks out, I
will come to kill you.]
“Yes.”
Taesan calmly affirmed. It was information that I didn’t have to say, and I didn’t mean to say it.
“Is the ghost okay?”
[That being is already dead and bound to the labyrinth. Not subject to restrictions. But if he tries to talk, I will move.]
[Is it a threat? I don’t think so either, so don’t worry.]
[That’s it. Now that I’ve answered the question, I’m going down.]
Koo-Goo-Gung.
Bricks crumbled. It started to be assembled as a floor again, and after a while, it was completed as a smooth floor of the labyrinth.
“A wizard.”
The wizard who created the labyrinth. Even the ghost didn’t know about it. Seeing as Lee Tae-yeon also didn’t say anything, it was safe to say that she also couldn’t approach the truth.
“I’m curious.”
It wasn’t something I knew right away.
I was thinking of getting to know you.
It’s been sorted out. Now it was time to check the clear reward on the 23rd floor.
[Snakeskin Belt]
[Strength + 10]
[Defense + 15]
[A belt made of an unknown snake that crushes trees.]
It had high defense and additional strength. It wasn’t a bad piece of equipment.
[??? used.]
[Obtained the gauntlet used by the god of war.]
[The gauntlet used by the god of war]
[Attack Power + 30]
[The gauntlet that the god of war used before it was still called the god of war. That talent and growth are buried.]
It was a high attack power. The powerful gauntlet he was wearing now
had the effect of inflicting five times the damage of the attack, but there was a limitation that he could only use it once a month.
Considering that, it was enough equipment to be worth changing.
“I hope that magic items will come out soon.”
He hadn’t learned a new magic for quite a while. It was regrettable considering that it was a beginner magic from now on, and its value was high.
But it wasn’t something I wanted to do. Items to appear in the labyrinth were entirely random or pre-determined from the beginning
. Taesan planned to wait patiently.
After clearing the 23rd floor, Taesan went up to visit the spirit.
[Hi-Hi! It’s here!]
“Come on.”
Taesan handed over the core of a higher spirit. The mad spirit laughed with his mouth torn apart.
[Hee hee hee! at las! Finally!]
The mad spirit greedily devoured the core.
cooong.
A small echo resonated within the spirit’s body. The white body that had swelled up like it was about to burst at the moment slowly sank.
[Ha ha…]
The laughter fades slowly.
The unstable energy that hovered over the insane spirit has almost disappeared.
[Ha.]
The spirit let out a breath. The madness that had overflowed just a moment ago had disappeared.
[Now… it’s almost done.]
The spirit said in a gloomy voice.
[This is the end. 29th floor. There is a hidden world there. You’ll find out if you use this in the boss room.]
The spirit waved a finger. A transparent aura permeated Taesan’s body.
[You have learned the spirit skill [Nature Synchronization].]
[The land of the spirits. A paradise for the fugitives. what’s there The roots of trees that hold the ground. bring it With that alone… it’s almost over.]
Taesan left the room. Laughter continued to be heard
from behind .
[You are wrong. you You guys….]
Taesan left the sobbing voice behind and came out.
“How are you going?”
Why does the crazy spirit hate the spirit? he couldn’t know Even when asked, he didn’t look like an answer.
I guess I’ll find out when I get to the 29th floor.
He went down to the 20th floor and visited the blacksmith Hafran.
“Are you here?”
Hafran handed over a shoe as if he had been waiting for it.
“Take it.”
“Have you already made it?”
“Smelting the ore itself was difficult. However, since it is used in sync with the spirit core, it became easier to make.”
The shoes made of achromatic ore had a strange aura. It seemed to be the energy of Jeong Ryeong-ok.
[Shoes made of golem ore and forged
by the spirit]
[Attack power + 15]
[Defense power + 40]
[Agility + 3
[Movement speed + 15%]
[Action speed + 8%]
[Can contain spirit energy There is.]
[Valuable items
were made in the hands of an excellent blacksmith.]
15 attack power
depended on shoes, not weapons.
His defense was higher than the armor he was wearing right now.
Agility was 30. It was a shame that he had never run on any equipment. As Taesan laughed and checked, one sentence caught his eye.
[It can contain spirit energy.]
“What is this part?”
“You can literally give it. It can be seen as the same as the dragon’s weapon.”
ghost weapon. Carvert’s artifact can be enchanted, so I put a fire ember into it. These shoes were also limited to spirit energy, but
they could put something into them.
“I don’t know what to put in, but if you get it, bring it. I will make it for you.”
“Looks like we won’t have to wait.”
I had something. Taesan took out the energy of the unbound spirit and showed it to Hafran.
“Hoo?”
Hafran’s eyes lit up when he saw the swaying energy of the wind.
“This is fun. Wait a minute.”
Hafran took the shoes and wiggled his hands in the corner. After waiting for a while, Hafran returned with a smile.
“It was like this. My curiosity has been resolved.”
[Shoes made of golem ore and forged with spirits]
[Attack power + 15]
[Defense + 4
[Agility + 30]
[Movement speed + 15%]
[Action speed + 8%
] can unlock This skill can only be used once a day.]
[Valuable items were made by an excellent blacksmith.]
“Ooh.”
Taesan burst into admiration. It has pretty good abilities.
It was a kind of status abnormality canceling technique. I don’t know how far the standard of restrictions is, but judging from the fact that everything is written, the range must be quite wide.
Being able to cancel it instantaneously was a huge advantage in battle. The cooldown was also relatively short at once a day, so it was a pretty good skill.
Hafran was also smiling happily as if he was satisfied.
“It’s been a while since I had fun working on it. I wish the others would bring only unusual ingredients like you, but they’re useless.”
Hafran held out his hand.
“Three thousand gold. give it.”
With this level of equipment, the production cost was about 3,000 gold cheap.
Taesan obediently handed it over. Hafran captured the gold he had received happily.
“Then, if you find it again later, bring it. I’ll make it cheaper.”
“thanks for your effort.”
Taesan left Hafran’s room. I came down immediately and arrived at the 24th floor.
[Starting the 24th floor quest.]
[Defeat the boss on the 24th floor and pass it.]
[Reward: Baal’s staff]
[Secret reward: ???]
We are now in the middle of the 20th floor.
The monster on the 24th floor was a dark spirit. It was a type of monster that would have been quite difficult if it had the same stats as the spirits that obscured their vision and tried to devour the body with lumps. Taesan took care of them one by one and moved on.
As I progressed halfway through, I felt a presence. Taesan stopped arranging the monsters and murmured.
“It’s time to get better.”
[I can’t spoil the fun spectacle. Hide for a while.]
The ghost was attached to the ceiling of the labyrinth.
It was a location you wouldn’t recognize if you weren’t paying attention.
“what?”
The door opened and an adventurer entered. He was taken aback when he saw Taesan.
“Who are you?
A man with blonde hair asked. Instead of answering, Taesan activated a skill.
[You activated scouting.]
[Horian Arban]
[Level: 65]
[Health: 3213]
[Equipped weapon: Sword]
[The one who surrendered.]
Information that was previously invisible was visible. This was the power of reconnaissance.
‘The stamina is similar.’
There was a difference of 10 levels. Even though the increase in spirit level did not increase physical strength that much, Taesan was slightly higher.
It was the evidence left by the processes Taesan had gone through. Horian frowned at Taesan’s unresponsive expression.
“Who are you? Are you number 2? Do you dare crawl in here? Are you determined to die?”
The guide of sin is absolute. The moment the 2nd tier stepped below the 20th floor, they were immediately killed.
However, there were those who took the risk and came down. Fascinated by strength, they risked their lives and received the price.
Horian thought Taesan was such a person. I believed that the reason he didn’t know the face was because he wasn’t interested in the second tier
.
Taesan shook his head.
“I am not a guide to sin.”
“Other than that, who is it? I couldn’t have avoided the gaze of the guys below me. Just keep calm.”
Horian, thinking that Taesan was telling a lie, spoke bluntly and kicked his feet.
The strength of the adventurers on the 30th floor and the adventurers on the 24th floor was obvious. Moreover, he was an adventurer who stayed on the 30th floor for a long time and became stronger to the limit. Naturally, he believed that Taesan would not be able to block the blow.
Taesan moved his hand.
The tip of the sword touched Horian’s sword, and the trajectory of power shook.
“Uh huh?”
Horian’s arms opened. It opened softly without resistance, and Horian, unable to comprehend the situation, was dumbfounded.
Taesan’s fist shook. Horian’s face was crushed.
Level up with skill
