– Volume 8, Episode 9,
184. 38 (1)
Concept skill proficiency exceeded 40%.
Perhaps that’s why a specific word was added to the name of the skill.
But I had no idea what that meant.
“If you raise your proficiency more, it will be solved.”
Besides, there was something more important than that.
It was a part of being able to tune one’s own will, which was added while raising the proficiency.
In fact, as the skill level rose, a strange sensation came to Taesan. I knew roughly how to use it, but it was hard to guess what effect it would produce.
So, I thought of trying it myself.
The 38 monsters were knights using spears. The monster quickly charged Taesan with a spear.
Taesan looked at the monster and
raised his newly acquired senses.
Senses overtook the knight.
At that moment, the knight shrank. Then he raised his spear and took a defensive posture. It was as if he thought that Taesan would run at him.
“Is it like this?”
Taesan murmured and came to his senses again.
As soon as I fired at the knight, the knight quickly retreated. Taesan
was able to realize the ability of the skill while watching the knight who seemed to respond to his attacks continuously.
The ability of the newly acquired concept skill was to be able to move the will according to one’s own will, as explained.
As he unfolded his will to attack the monster, the monster moved to block the attack. Taesan didn’t move even one step.
The knight continued to hold the spear and tried to charge, but each time Taishan moved his will and pressed the knight. The knight couldn’t do anything and drove to the end of the wall.
A thought
popped into Taesan’s mind.
“Concept skill is the coordination of the will.”
Twisted Spirit Rise adjusts Spirit.
And three proofs in which what they have built up on their own becomes tangible and spreads.
What he had built up was a spirit and at the same time a kind of will.
After thinking about it, Taesan activated all three skills at the same time. At the same time, physical pressure spread in all directions. It was a force that would crush a weakling as it was.
Taesan
adjusted the power that spread from him.
Then, the force became tangible and moved.
Wow!
The knight slammed into the wall. Perhaps because of the shock, he was unable to properly control his body.
“Is it like a spirited merchant?”
It is a state that came out of martial arts that I sometimes read on the earth that moved the will to attack the opponent. It seemed to feel roughly the same.
“This is fine.”
[It’s okay, I think I’ve exceeded the level.]
Just by moving my will, the monster on the 38th floor was being swung around without much resistance.
Of course, it was possible because the gap between him and the monster was so large. There was a high possibility that it would not do much damage to a more powerful enemy.
However, it was unknown what would happen if the mastery of twisted spirituality and conceptual skills increased in the future, and Taesan became stronger, increasing the influence of the three proofs.
If there was a downside,
it was the fatigue caused by the twisted spirit coordination. However, it wasn’t as bad as before, probably because I got used to it after using it several times.
The change in conceptual skills was satisfactory.
This time it was his turn to test his magic.
[You activated Frost Arrow.]
Damn it.
A chill rushed into the room. The coldness was distinctly different from before. It was cold enough to burn my flesh and freeze my lungs just by existing.
The knight barely got up
and charged at it, brandishing his sword, but Taesan fired a frost arrow.
Whoa!
The frost arrow that collided with the knight’s sword blew the sword away and pierced the knight’s body.
[736 damage to the white knight with a spear.]
A huge hole was punched in the armor.
The armor slowly froze around that place, and the knight’s movements began to stiffen. Before long, the knight completely froze.
Taesan nodded.
The God of Magic raised his magic proficiency. In addition, thanks to the robe, his magic level rose by 40.
Thanks to that, not only the magic damage greatly increased, but also a big change in power and speed in all areas.
Of course, that power alone could not be explained.
At the end of repeated use, the skill of Frost Arrow also exceeded 40%.
[Beginner magic: Frost arrow]
[Mana consumption: 6]
[Proficiency level: 41%]
[Shoots a frost arrow. Enemies without immunity receive greater damage. Attempts to determine the status abnormality [Frostbite] on the target. The strong cold freezes everything it touches.]
“It took a long time.”
Frost Arrow was the most used magic among all the magic Taesan learned. It was because it was a magic that was hard to find flaws in doing above average in any situation.
Even so, the proficiency has now exceeded 40%. Indeed, it was notorious for not rising in proficiency.
However, the power alone was worth it. The knight on the 38th floor was frozen by a single frost arrow and was unable to do anything.
“At this rate, I can go down to the 50th floor only with magic.”
It was a power that seemed possible enough if there were no trials or obstacles from guides.
Blasphemy!
The knight barely broke the ice and
came out. Taesan lightly waved at the staggering knight.
[You activated Grain Diffusion.]
Beginner magic that spreads a lot of ice grains. It was a magic that blocked the opponent’s movement with little damage, but so far I haven’t seen a big effect.
Kagagak!
However, it was different now that his proficiency had increased and he had even acquired new items. The knight trapped in the grain could not get out.
Caang! Caang!
Taesan moved toward the knight who was pounding hard on the grain.
There was still more to check.
[You activated the chase.]
Keying.
A faint magical aura stood on the chest of the knight.
At the same time, the grains scattered in all directions flew towards the magical energy.
Damn it!
The knight’s body shook greatly. The knight who had been hit directly by countless
pellets looked like he was about to collapse at any moment.
Taesan’s eyes lit up as he watched the series of processes.
“This is fine.”
[Beginner magic: Tracking]
[Mana consumption: 4]
[Proficiency level: 1%]
[Designate a specific part of the target. After that, the attack magic that is activated
goes to the designated location according to the user’s will.]
The stigma is a skill that allows you to link special magic such as random blink by designating the location where you are located.
However, it was much easier to use offensive magic because tracking was possible even when away from the opponent.
[You activated Frost Arrow.]
Damn it.
Taesan shot frost arrows to both sides. The frost arrow, which was moving in a completely different direction from the knight, suddenly broke its trajectory and pierced the knight.
The knight could not stand it any longer and fell.
[You defeated the white knight with a spear.]
Overall, it was a satisfactory change. It was rewarding to defeat the monster while suffering.
However, the most important was the ‘frozen world’ skill of intermediate magic.
[Intermediate magic: Frozen world]
[Mana consumption: 30
[Proficiency level: 1%]
[Invokes coldness that freezes everything. It still doesn’t show proper power.]
The first intermediate magic I got.
Its power was enough to freeze the tentacles of the monster, which even Taesan could not ignore.
Even so, it’s not a proper power. It was a skill that expected how strong it would become if you raised its proficiency.
However, the mana consumption was ridiculously
high. Taesan, who had never suffered from lack of mana until now, had to worry about lack of mana after using the frozen world a few times.
However, it was a powerful skill that would bring a big variable to future battles.
When I thought about variables, I naturally thought of one skill.
[Special permanent activation skill: Tuning twisted spirit]
[Proficiency: 4%]
[Twisted beings
can twist their spirit. By taking on a heavy burden, you will be able to control the spirit spirit that dwells within you.]
A skill obtained by raising the spirit spirit while defeating the monster of the Gods. As he defeated the Bahulia monster, his skill level rose again.
“It’s a good skill though.”
Without this skill, it would have been very difficult to win.
He defended the monster’s attack by twisting the rank that had risen to apostleship. Without this skill, victory
would have been close to impossible.
But the burden was too great.
The exhaustion and fatigue that hit the whole body that I felt at the time. It was a level that even Taesan could not ignore. When I used it earlier, the burden was reduced a little, but I still felt quite tired.
[I’m glad it ended like that, right? Originally, this is an ability not allowed for mortals.]
The ghost said.
[Even the apostles cannot twist or adjust their own character. Only transcendent and
immortals can do it. A weak person would have died instantly from being crushed by a spirit attack the moment he tried.]
“Is that enough?”
[That’s about it. Touching the case.]
It was a skill that had to be used with care. However, it was definitely a useful skill if you kept the line.
Taishan, who confirmed everything roughly, broke through the aisle again.
“I have to go downstairs now.”
Recently,
due to various things such as clearing the Trial of the Gods and returning to Earth, I have not been able to properly capture the floor. It’s been quite a while since I entered the 30th floor, but I could tell just by looking at it that I was still on the 38th floor.
Although I gained that much, I couldn’t avoid feeling that I was more stagnant than before.
So for the time being, I was thinking of focusing on breaking through the floors.
Taesan swung his sword at the monster that appeared. The knight fell to the floor.
Taishan easily broke through the floor.
As always, the monster couldn’t stop him. I was able to get unexpected income while continuing to attack the floor.
[The effect of the demon god’s second saint is activated. Your demonic energy has risen by 2.]
Earth’s humans have newly acquired demonic energy. And every time they got stronger, Taesan was also able to gain magic
.
[The servant’s authority has been activated. Ability Sword proficiency increases by 1%.]
“You’re doing well.”
Even when he was still, his abilities were rising. It will be hard to find anything as enjoyable as this.
[The proficiency of divine power has risen by 1%.]
“I don’t really need this.”
Taesan muttered and went on
to find the secret room and collect the reward. The reward was shoes. It wasn’t better than the one I’m wearing now, so I put it in my inventory.
[The effect of the adventurer title has been activated. The secret room rewards are doubled.]
“Ooh.”
The number of shoes increased to two.
Taesan laughed and put them both in the inventory.
Taesan, who continued to advance like that, soon met the boss.
The boss was a knight using two spears. Taesan stretched out his hand toward the spear being swung.
snap.
Two spears were caught in Taishan’s hands.
Taesan kicked the knight as it was. The knight flew straight and crashed into the wall. Taishan approached the knight and thrust his sword into his chest and summoned a series of frost arrows.
The knight fell like that.
[Necklace of spells]
[Magic + 15]
[Intelligence + 20]
[Necklace worn by great wizards. A necklace treated with special magic can contain a spell.]
[You can save one magic and use it whenever you want. However, magic that is too strong cannot be stored.]
It was a unique necklace with a storage function. I tried to store intermediate magic as a test
, but it didn’t work because of restrictions.
Still, since the magic level was higher than the necklace he was wearing now, Taesan changed the necklace and put it on.
and a secret reward.
[Used Woo??]
[Obtained the simple man’s ring]
[Simple man’s ring]
[Strength + 4
[Agility + 4
[Intelligence + 40]

blue ring he was originally using was equipment that raised all stats by 15. got stuck
The 38th floor ended with this.
Taishan headed straight down.
The 39th floor has begun.
[Start the 39th floor quest.]
[Defeat the boss on the 39th floor and pass.]
[Reward: Rune of Lightning]
[Secret reward: ???]
Level up with skill.
