– Volume 7 Episode 8
158. 34th Floor (2)
[Special activation skill: Spirit Conversion]
[Proficiency level: 1%]
[Changes the spirit of the soul into power and makes it dwell in the body. Users lose their lives after a certain period of time after using it.]
[Uh’?]
The ghost who saw the explanation said in surprise.
[Losing your life? Isn’t it a soul?]
Taesan stroked his chin. The effect seemed to be the same as that used by the apostle of the goddess. It was to transform the spirit of the soul into power itself.
However, the cost was slightly different from the ghost’s explanation.
No damage, only loss of life.
[what? Is it because of the spiritual rise? Can it be converted in this way?]
The ghost continued to mutter in bewilderment. It was because, from his point of view, it made no sense.
The spirit fall destroys one’s soul,
but it allows one to retain that much power.
It was clear from the fact that Taesan, who had won the previous apostle without a problem, was driven to the brink of death by the apostle who triggered the spirit fall.
The fall of the soul was a fair price for power.
That was exchanged at the price of life.
“Still, it doesn’t change that it is a great price.”
If you lose your life or your soul, death doesn’t change. Either way,
it was impossible to attack the labyrinth any further.
‘no.’
Taesan narrowed his eyes.
‘…is it possible?’
Taesan remembered a skill he possessed.
A skill that Pabsha gave to him after clearing his ordeal.
[Special always-activated skill: Spirit of the one who proved it]
[You won against another self. When you die, your
soul is tried by Pabsha.]
Nothing is certain. There was a good chance that this skill was different from what he expected.
‘but.’
His hidden cards could have been good enough.
“Let’s think about it later.”
It was a question for which the answer is now unknown. I couldn’t even use it as a test because my life was at the cost.
The first use had to be in practice.
[…okay. Then.]
The ghost barely agreed. Taesan continued to check.
There was also a system window that said that the apostleization was also raised one level by spiritual elevation.
[Special activation skill: Apostleization [Rakira Tars]]
[The first power given by the god of struggle and death since his birth. For 20 minutes, you will receive a portion of the power of the apostles of Rakiratas. This skill cannot be used for one day after activation.]
Duration doubled from 10 minutes to 20 minutes. Apostleization was a good change as it was a useful skill that raised not only the level of the soul but also the stats.
[Apostolicization… They say that even that is converted.]
The ghost groaned.
Sadohwa is the power directly bestowed by God. It was also a skill bestowed by Rakiratas, who was in charge of the two realms.
Spiritual elevation was even interfering with such a skill.
‘Is this higher level than I thought?’
While the ghost was organizing his thoughts, Taesan also finished organizing everything.
“good.”
Taesan clenched his fists.
Sado was a formidable enemy who had to risk his life even as a mountain, but he was able to get a decent reward.
After completing all checks, Taesan proceeded through the labyrinth.
[The 34th floor quest begins.]
[Defeat the boss on the 34th floor and pass.]
[Reward: Hatturia’s ring.]
[Secret reward: ???]
The monster on the 34th floor was a knight wearing black armor.
“Death Knight?”
[There is no death energy.]
“Is it just a resemblance?”
Chunk.
The black knight charged. The longsword cut through space and aimed at Taesan’s nape.
Taesan lightly waved his sword. The knight’s sword collided with Taesan’s sword.
Kwajik.
The knight flew far away.
Taesan walked calmly. Staggering, the knight, who had regained his stance, rushed.
Kagagak!
The article was not pushed this time. He started to struggle with Taesan.
Step on the ground with your feet and apply strength to your whole body to blow into the sword.
The knight’s sword contained power that ordinary adventurers on the 34th floor could not easily shake off.
However, Taesan did not feel any pressure.
“How would you like to change?”
There is only one reason why he doesn’t immediately defeat the knight. It was to check the effect of the changed ability sword.
Taesan gave strength to the sword. The knight’s knee was bent by the applied force, and Taesan’s sword went up.
[You activate landing.]
The power to suppress the knight is momentarily amplified.
The knight’s knees touch the ground. Even then, he couldn’t stand it, his body weakened, and his sword slowly broke.
Taesan looked down at the knight and tightened his hand.
The knight couldn’t stand the strength and let go of the sword, splitting in half.
“Is this how it feels?”
There were several skills that changed as the skill level of the ability sword increased. One of them was landing.
[Special activation skill: Landing]
[Mana consumption: 2
[Proficiency level: 5%]
[A body floating in the air lands on the ground]
[Condition: Advanced swordsmanship [Ability sword]
[Your sword is the opponent’s weapon When you are in a higher place, you can hit the opponent hard.]
I realized the meaning after using it myself.
“It’s similar to Leap, but different.”
Leap is a skill that allows you to lift and cut strongly if you are under the opponent
. The explanation of the difference between being at the bottom and at the top was similar.
Taesan went to the next room and tested it on another knight.
This time, it leaps completely, moves over the opponent’s head, and triggers a landing.
Kaaaang!
The skill was activated without any problems even though it was not possible to properly apply power. Unable to withstand the weight of the sword, the body of the knight was crushed.
Taesan’s eyes lit up as he watched the series of processes. Unlike leaps and assaults
, the skill was activated even if Taesan didn’t exert any force.
Even in a situation where there was no place to step, he was able to make a proper attack.
There was a condition that the sword had to be placed higher than the opponent’s weapon, but since the effect of the skill was an effect, it was a condition that had to be resolved, so there was no big problem.
After checking, Taesan moved to find another enemy.
Landing wasn’t the only skill that changed.
The knight who was waiting in the next room
rushed in.
[You activated the Inspector.]
Kagak.
Taishan’s sword collided with the knight’s sword. Taesan frowned.
Taesan applied power to the sword to blow away the knight and confirmed the captain.
[Special activation skill: Reduce]
[Mana consumed: 30]
[Proficiency: 1%]
[Reduces the percentage of damage received. It’s still a very insignificant percentage.]
[Condition: Advanced swordsmanship [Ability sword]
[Reduces the burden on the sword a little when the sword collides with the opponent.]
“Is this true?”
[Can you tell from this difference?]
Doot said that the ghost was natural.
The changed captain reduced the burden on the sword. It was a skill that was not easily pushed even against enemies with stronger power.
However, the difference in strength between him and the knight
was his overwhelming superiority.
I couldn’t confirm the effect on enemies of this size.
“It’s a shame.”
Taesan cut down the oncoming knight. It was a blow.
“If I do this, I won’t be able to check anything else.”
There were more skills that changed. However, it seemed difficult to confirm the proper effect against enemies of this level.
[I should check it later?]
“I guess I should.”
Taesan nodded and headed forward.
Taishan got stronger.
Passing through the Battlefield of the Gods and winning against the Apostle of the Forgotten Goddess, he acquired countless powers.
He, who was already strong, became even stronger than he was.
The monsters on the 34th floor were no longer his opponents.
Even a normal attack could not be blocked, and even a light swing would put you in a dying state.
In fact, you don’t even need to use a sword.
“It’s boring.”
It was an unexpected side effect. The current labyrinth did not inspire him at all.
Taesan attacked the floor without interruption and
sent calls to other players after a long time.
[Lee Tae-yeon [alone]: We’re attacking the 12th floor now.]
[Kang Tae-san [alone]: Really? It’s faster than I thought?]
The last time I contacted him, he said that he was attacking the 10th floor. So I thought I was attacking the 11th floor by now, but I was already on the 12th floor. It was much faster than expected.
Lee Tae-yeon answered his question.
[Lee Tae-yeon [Alone]: It’s all thanks to Mr. Tae-san.]
[Kang Tae-san [Alone]: My virtue?]
[Lee Tae-yeon [Alone]: The blessing of struggle and death. Because of that, I became really strong.]
[Kang Tae-san [Alone]: Ah. Did you mean that?]
[Lee Tae-yeon [Alone]: That’s right. How good is this?]
As Taesan defeated the B-class monster, Rakiratas appeared and blessed them. A talent for struggle and death.
It was written that he even gained the talent for death, but the meaning was difficult to understand. What mattered was his talent for struggle
.
The course of the battle was definitely different from before. Taesan also became more skilful and able to move faster, so it must have been more noticeable to others.
While thinking about it, let’s contact Keum Joong-geun, and he said something similar. He said that thanks to his talent for struggle and death, he could break through faster than before.
[Keum Joong-geun [Hard]: Oh, do you know that?]
[Kang Tae-san [Alone]:
What ?
: I don’t know. I’m not really interested.]
Now, Taesan invited Lee Taeyeon, Kang Junhyeok, and Keum Joonggeun to talk to him. Since I hadn’t used the community, I didn’t know what the community was like.
[Geum Joong-geun [Hard]: You don’t know.]
[Kang Tae-san [Alone]: I don’t know. Please explain.]
[Geum Joong-geun [Hard]: Hmm… What should I say about this? To put it simply,
people worship him.]
Taesan hesitated.
[Kang Tae-san [Alone]: What?]
[Lee Tae-yeon [Alone]: What? Haven’t you checked yet?]
[Kang Tae-san [Alone]: Why am I watching them talk?]
The community didn’t even pay attention to Tae-san because he had no nutritional value.
[Lee Tae-yeon [Alone]: Then, if you have time, check it out. I don’t think there’ll be any problem, but if you don’t know, there will be problems without knowing.]
[Kang Tae-san [Alone]: Okay. Oh really.]
[Lee Tae-yeon [Alone]: What else do you have?]
[Kang Tae-san [Alone]: You guys said you crossed the 10th floor.]
[Lee Tae-yeon [Alone]: Yes.]
Then it was time to meet the guide of sin. .
[Kang Tae-san [Alone]: If there are people who say that they are guides to sin, it would be better to do as I say.] It wasn’t a good
way, but
it was a way to solve the problem right away.
After hearing Taesan’s explanation, they groaned.
[Lee Tae-yeon [Alone]: Um… I have to do that?]
[Kang Jun-hyeok [Alone]: I don’t like it…]
[Kang Tae-san [Alone]: Even if you don’t like it, there’s no other way. It’s not like you can do it like me. Then it can’t be helped.]
Although they looked a little hesitant, they agreed.
After the explanation, Taesan closed the window and
opened the community.
he shut up
[Hannara [Easy]: How far has Kang Tae-san-nim broken through?]
[Kim Sae-in [Normal]: You probably didn’t go over the 50th floor? Of course, that should have been enough.]
[Lee Hana [Easy]: We just need to wait. He will save us.]
After looking around the community for a while, Taesan turned the window off.
If I looked at it a little longer, I thought I would lose my mind.
“What is going on?”
[What’s going on?]
“It’s nothing.”
Taesan explained to the ghost. The ghost who had quietly listened to the story opened its mouth.
[There’s nothing unusual about this story, right?]
“Really?”
[As you said, if all humans got the talent for fighting and dying, it would be a great feat. And people
are bound to worship those who have accomplished such feats. Even more so if it is in the direction that benefits them.]
“Is that so?”
It was definitely different from my previous life. If you were the only one who was strong back then, this time you helped all humans become stronger.
“No big deal.”
Even so, it’s just worship, not something direct.
Taesan tried to organize his thoughts and attacked the labyrinth again.
Even though we progressed slowly, we had already
reached the boss room. It was when Taesan was about to go inside.
Aww.
space is divided
Black energy flowed out and began to form.
Taesan stopped walking and watched the action.
[Hello, my child.]
“It’s been a while.”
A demon appeared.
Level up with skill
