– Volume 6, Chapter 24
149. Outside. Battlefield of the Gods (5)
“Uh uh uh?”
The saint was astonished.
He is also known as a wizard.
I realized that what Taesan did was magic.
And he could also feel that the level was so high that he could not even match it.
“It’s usable because I used it outside.”
Taesan murmurs and shakes his hands.
[You activated the burning ball.]
Prominences were drawn around Mount Tai.
With Taesan’s beckoning hand, a fiery ball flies toward the mystical followers. The saint gets up in fright and spreads his hands.
“A veil!”
A veil of opaque magical power was created. The belatedly balanced believers add strength to the veil.
Kaaang!
It is smashed in the burning sphere.
Fragments of unleashed flames hit them
. Those who are hit directly disappear without even screaming, and those who are splattered with sparks do not last long.
“What!”
It is a flame that is not chanted and takes almost no time to implement. Then his tent was smashed like this. The saint opened his eyes wide, and Taishan was puzzled.
“Why are you so weak?”
No matter how low the level of a god is, he is a transcendental being who has escaped mortals. Even though he had power that was incomparable to Taesan, his level of magic was too low
.
[God can’t easily give up his power. Even your own followers have to pay the price. Wasn’t it like that in the labyrinth as well?]
“Then, you can pay tribute.”
[If you think about the level of offerings you have given, the answer will come out.]
“Ah.”
Taesan shrugged off the magic and nodded.
I could tell just by looking at the description of the equipment in the labyrinth. Even the equipment on the 10th floor was worth a lot from the outside.
I had to sacrifice a few of them to learn magic.
Judging by its external value, it would be safe to say that it was an offering of a relic worthy of being called a treasure.
“It must be difficult outside.”
Even while Taesan muttered, the magic continued to manifest itself.
And they couldn’t stop the believers one by one.
[You activated Wind Explosion.] In the labyrinth,
magic that was of little use, was used at most to block arrows .
wind blast.
“Aaaaa!”
“profit!”
It’s like a storm to them. Unable to resist, it flies away, crashes into a wall, and disappears into the forest.
Taesan calmly continues to display magic.
Magic implemented lightly was a disaster itself.
“Ah ah ah.”
and everyone falls
Taesan borrows the frost arrow.
Kwajik.
The stone statue of the mysterious god is smashed.
[You destroyed the stone statue of the god of mystery that crawled from the bottom. The mysterious god who crawled from the bottom was kicked out of the battlefield of the gods.]
[The gods of the labyrinth are satisfied.]
[The magic god is very happy. He is extremely satisfied with your actions.]
The huge energy disappears through the cracks in the sky, and the souls of the followers
are sucked in as well.
Taishan immediately moved to the next one.
The next god is the one who moves the twisting cliff.
As his name suggests, he was a god who worshiped strength, and his followers were also close to him.
“Aaaaa!”
Dozens of men twice as tall as Tae-san rush at him.
They unite and begin to push Taesan.
“Feel our power!”
Among them, a particularly huge man exclaimed loudly.
“We are the ones who push the mountain!”
“We have the power to say that.”
Their pressure was quite heavy. With this much strength, he could really push the mountain.
It must be at the level of a very small garden.
But Taishan really has the power to move mountains.
Taesan tensed his entire body and stepped on the ground with his feet.
Kwajik.
It cracks and digs into the ground with just that motion.
Tighten your back, pull your shoulders, and push them out.
“Uh huh?”
“Wow!”
The hunks ricocheted like cannonballs shot from them.
The exceptionally huge man’s eyes widen.
“What!”
The labyrinth’s stats directly affect the body itself.
If you raise your agility, the speed of your body easily breaks through the sound.
If you increase your strength, the strength itself becomes stronger than you can imagine.
And Lee Tae-yeon had the power to break tidal waves and lift and move mountains.
‘So Lee Tae-yeon had to fight in a completely different place.’ At the hard mode level
, you can minimize damage by
concentrating your strength , but at Lee Tae-yeon’s level, that is impossible.
With only a light battle causing city-level destruction, she had no choice but to fight from a distance like Mount Tai.
As I thought about it, a thought naturally came to my mind.
‘Is it strange to think about it?’
Lee Tae-yeon cannot fight in the city because of the aftermath of the battle. So he must have come out and fought like Taesan.
However, when he returned to the city after defeating two S-ranks in his previous life, Lee Tae-yeon was there.
‘Did he come back after a fight?’
After fighting and winning, he returned to the city and saw the monsters that kept appearing.
This assumption is the most plausible, but something was unclear.
Even while thinking about it, the men struggled and tried to push Taesan away. However, Taesan’s feet
didn’t even move as if they were rooted.
“Let’s finish it soon.”
Taesan gave strength to his arm and swung it.
The large numbers flew away.
Kwajik.
Taesan breaks the stone statue.
[The god of power is very happy. He is extremely satisfied with your actions.]
“Is there a god of power?”
It seemed to be a god who had settled in a place where Taishan had not yet arrived.
Taishan looked up at the crack in the sky.
There, the energy that seemed to be a god and the souls of the followers were sucked into it.
“I said ten gods were here.”
Green had told him so. Considering that the number of gods Taesan met in the labyrinth was less than ten, it was definitely a large number.
“It’s fine though.”
The more gods there are, the more certain the reward will be.
There are five gods Taesan has now caught.
There are now five left.
“I am dissatisfied.”
Taesan waved his arm. He had just driven out the god of light who was walking on a single road.
With this, he expelled the six gods.
The majority were dealt with and the light god was also satisfied, but Taesan was not.
“You are too weak.”
There was nothing to dry.
Not all of the believers he was dealing with were at the level where Spiritual Rise could be activated.
“I was at the bottom or something, but in the end it was an acorn height measurement.”
I could tell just by looking at the fact that the weakest guys were fighting each other in the first place.
If the difference in strength was really large,
they would have been smashed by the higher-ranking followers before they could even fight each other.
The ghost smiled bitterly.
[Actually, they’re not that weak.]
They weren’t weak by the standards of ghosts.
The first believers who came here were obviously weak, but from the middle, quite strong ones appeared. Even by Labyrinth standards, the class wasn’t that low.
I don’t know if it’s individual, but if the right number gathers, it’s the level of ordinary 20th and 30th floors.
[It’s just that you’re too strong. Perhaps the gods here were also unexpected.]
The gods outside, who did not know much about the labyrinth, would have set it based on the level.
Level and strength are usually proportional, so that’s not too wrong.
It was just that Taesan was out of specification.
He took care of everything and had strength that was not proportional to his level, and he also had a special skill called spirituality increase.
[It will be confusing. So… I
guess I can move slowly now.]
The ghost said quietly.
The day has passed.
The next day, Taishan defeated two more gods.
It was a small number compared to the previous day, but there was a reason for that.
“They suddenly got stronger?”
It wasn’t the concept of improving my ability or improving my skills. The power of the gods was felt more intensely by the believers.
“Has God given you strength?”
[Probably so. Originally, according to the law of the previous chapter, grace beyond a certain level could not be bestowed, but it must have been an agreement to kill you.]
Taesan laughed.
“Even if I do, it’s useless.”
No matter how much the power of the gods is down, improvised power cannot stop Taesan. It wasn’t like raising him to the level of an apostle all of a sudden, so it just took time, but the result was the same.
A total of eight were treated that way.
There are only two gods left.
Taesan decided to fill his stomach first before taking care of the rest. He grilled the meat he brought from the labyrinth and put it in his mouth.
The taste wasn’t great, but it was enough to fill my stomach.
Taesan, who was eating slowly, hesitated.
He looked away.
A golden light could be seen nearby.
[It was worth coming.]
“It’s later than I thought.”
Both the ghost and Taesan calmly wait.
It splits itself like a bush with will. A being who worships even nature and bows down has appeared here.
A being decorated with gold appears.
[You.]
An emotionless gaze turns to Taesan.
[You are a gorgeously decorated sword god. I encountered the mantra.]
Taesan looked at the mantra.
Outwardly, it looked like a human. Except for the lack of hair, he was a typical handsome man,
but all parts of his body were made of gold.
The tips of her fingers, her eyes, and her lips were all the color of gold.
It felt like seeing a huge fortress made of gold.
[A mortal judges a god.]
Mantra narrowed his eyes. With just that action, the surrounding grasses died and the land began to dry up.
[During coercion judgment…]
[During fear judgment…]
[Confusion judgment…]
At the same time, as in the previous meeting with Maria, dozens of judgments came to mind.
“Take it away.”
Taesan brushed his hair.
A notification window appeared indicating that all judgments were successful.
He had endured Maria’s judgment, but the judgment of a lower outside god was nothing.
‘It’s not even real.’
Taesan knew. The existence in front of him was not the body of God. It seemed like a kind of incarnation.
strong but that’s it
There was no sense of seeing something huge like when he saw the gods of the labyrinth.
‘Is it because of the difference in class?’
The rank of the god outside is lower than that of the Labyrinth. Maybe
that’s why Taesan didn’t feel any special emotions .
Mantra’s eyes swayed as he gazed at Mount Tai.
[Why are you like this…]
“What?”
[No, it’s incomplete. There’s nothing to worry about.]
Mantra’s shaking eyes sank.
[Mortal. Be my servant.]
said the mantra. Like a sentence, as if God is giving a revelation.
[It came from filthy things, but it has usable power. Give me the honor of being my servant and offering my soul.]
“You didn’t think I would get that, did you?”
[Then there is only death.]
Mantra’s calm gaze is directed toward Mount Tai.
A sharp blade pierces Taesan’s entire body.
It is difficult to move the fingertips and the feeling of death rises to the back of the head.
[Determining instant death…]
[Judgement failed! Death overtakes you.]
The mantra speaks calmly.
[die. A mortal.]
Death strikes Taesan.
Taesan looks at him indifferently.
Opponent is God.
I knew right away that it was an irresistible existence.
But at the same time, I also knew that I would never die.
[Until there.]
Interference occurs.
Absolute death towards Taesan is erased.
The space splits and a huge presence appears in the artificial world.
[The judgment of instant death has been lifted.]
The death that was attacking him disappeared. Taesan brushed off his collar.
“It is later than expected.”
[I was aiming for a dramatic timing.]
Mantra shows embarrassment for the first time
.
[You!]
[It’s very embarrassing for a god to directly touch a mortal. Mantra.]
Rakiratas, who appeared on the battlefield, chuckled.
Level up with skill
