_ Volume 8 Episode 12
187. 40 Children of demons (1)
[I came because I have something to tell you.]
She twisted her hair with an ambiguous face and opened her mouth.
[40th floor. At the end of it, a being will be waiting for you.]
“Are you a guide to sin?”
[If you ask me, it is.]
Taesan realized from the demon’s words.
“There seems to be only one.”
Taishan had already defeated all the 4th tier adventurers on the 40th floor.
If so, the 5th tier adventurers were next, but it was still too much for all of them to come down.
So maybe there’s only one person
with talent.
A person who grasped and broke through many things in the labyrinth and obtained many things.
A person who was not satisfied with simply clearing a floor like other adventurers, but focused on skills and the attack itself like Taesan.
There was a high possibility that such an outstanding person would come down.
The demon nodded.
[that’s right. he will come to you And I will fight you and die or kill you.]
The demon had a pitiful face.
[He… is my child.]
“Is he a demon?”
[okay. You have great talent. However, my experience was so limited that I made the wrong choice. Poor child.]
The demon’s eyes narrowed. In an instant, the air sank.
[To be honest… I want to kill them all.]
A terrifying sensation came over Taesan.
[But it can’t be that way.]
The Demon God shook his head. The aura that engulfed the entire space disappeared.
[The work of the labyrinth is for the adventurers of the labyrinth. that’s our rule Even if the poor kid is tricked, it’s your choice. I can’t help it. So do whatever you want. Kang Tae-san.]
“I think so.”
Taesan replied.
The demon disappeared with a bitter face.
“Looks like you’ve given me a lot of affection.”
[Demons give great affection to their children. If it was a talented demon, it would be bigger. But as she said, I won’t get involved, so you don’t have to worry about being disturbed.]
If she said something like that, she must be a really strong demon.
Taishan
went down the floor with mental preparation.
The monster on the 40th floor was a golden knight holding a long sword. The knight grabbed the sword with both hands and charged Taesan.
Taesan swung his sword and trampled it.
For an enemy like this, the pen was useless. In the first place, it was like a stroke of its own as it rushed without any intention of avoiding it.
When Piljoong sees the light, it will probably be time to deal with the existence waiting at the end of the 4（房房）. Taesan raised his sword
and began breaking through
the floors quickly .
The golden knight on the 40th floor was noticeably stronger than before, but there was no significant difference to Taesan, so he went down the labyrinth without difficulty.
As before, I found the secret room and broke through the trap. And got a reward.
[Shoes of Leap]
[Defense + 4]
[Shoes for those who wanted to fly high into the sky. He was burned to death by the sun
[You can jump 20% higher.]
It was decent defensive equipment, but I liked the shoes Tae San was wearing right now, so I put them in my inventory.
Taishan moved forward and advanced again. On the 40th floor, there were no other God’s Trials or NPCs, so I was able to reach the boss without any problems.
Chunk.
[A brilliantly shining golden knight appeared.]
As the name suggests, the boss was a golden knight who filled the room with the light of his armor.
The knight raised a longsword and attacked Taesan.
Kagagak!
40th floor. It was definitely strong because it was the boss at the end. If you were an ordinary adventurer, you would have to risk your life here.
Kwajik.
Taesan lowered his sword. The knight was pinned to the floor with his sword blocked.
Taesan waved his hand.
[You activated Frost Arrow.]
Dozens of arrows were drawn in the air.
They pierce the article. A hole in the armor begins to dig with a blaring sound.
So the knight fell.
With this, the 40th floor is over.
[You have defeated the shining golden knight.]
[Your level has risen.]
[Your spirit level has been activated
.]
[You have obtained the Magnificent’s necklace.]
[You have obtained uh??]
[You have reached the 40th floor. The title [Unstoppable] was obtained.]
[You have completely cleared the 40th floor. The title [Unsatisfied Person] was obtained.]
[You have completely grasped and cleared all floors up to the 40th floor. You got the title [The person who stepped into perfection].]
[You have reached a place that no one can deny. You have obtained the title [Recognized
Person].]
[Your footsteps now not only leave many traces, but can serve as a guideline for latecomers.] [
You have reached the beginning of the floor desired by the creator of the labyrinth. As a reward, one benefit is given.]
The creator of the labyrinth. level desired by the wizard. Even at level 55, I saw a system window like this. There was an existence that appeared with him.
The bricks on the floor rise. It begins to form in the air like a puzzle being put together.
Manager of the Labyrinth. Barbabamba appeared.
Barbabamba moved the brick eye.
[You’ve come this far.]
“Do you remember?”
[I am a tool. An existence without oblivion. remember everything Moreover, recently, only one person other than you has been able to come all the way here.]
The sound of the bricks crackling and colliding echoed.
[human. You have reached the floor the mage wanted from an adventurer. I won’t give you a reward for that. choose Is it a supreme good or a valuable piece of equipment?]
“There are few options this time?”
[Don’t ask me. Sorcerer’s will.]
Goods and equipment. It seemed that he was asked to choose between gold and an item. Taesan began to worry.
Until now, he would have chosen the equipment unconditionally. However, the level of equipment Taesan was wearing
was too high. Even if you received a lot of things, there was no big difference even if you replaced them, or you couldn’t even change them if you couldn’t count.
Taesan made a decision.
“With the supreme good.”
Gradually passed 40. Since the items in the store were going to change once, I was thinking of living accordingly.
Balbabamba narrowed her eyes.
[good night. According to the wizard’s will, I will give you valuable goods.]
[You obtained 90,421 gold.]
Ninety thousand gold. It was a larger amount than expected. At this level, he could have chosen and bought the equipment he wanted at the store.
Balbabamba said to Taesan, who smiled with satisfaction.
[Then keep coming down. human. If it were you, you could reach the place my master wants.]
“I think so.”
The bricks scattered again and turned into the floor. muttered the ghost.
[That blunt guy says that…]
Words mixed with expectations. I had never heard of ghosts. Even to Barbaba Bamba, who had seen many adventurers since the labyrinth’s creation, Taesan meant that it was out of standard.
Taesan started to check the clear rewards of the floor.
[A necklace of a majestic person]
[A necklace of a person who wears something more expensive than anyone else, decorated in gold and splendid. Its value is immeasurably high.]
“Is it for sale?”
No figures were attached. It seemed that they were probably selling to the store to buy an item worth the clear reward.
[??? [Used.]
[Obtained a colorless ring]
[Colorless ring]
[HP + 200]
[Mana + 100]
[Strength + 30]
[Agility + 30]
[Intelligence + 30]
[Attack Power + 3
[Any Glyph] A colorless ring with no color. I don’t even know who the user is or who made it.]
“Ooh.”
It was a pretty nice ring.
Overall, the value was lower than the ring that Bargan had previously given while completing the Battlefield of the Gods quest. But it wasn’t that this ring wasn’t great,
it was that Bargan had given her a very good ring.
Considering that it was a ring that could be used all the way down to the depths, this ring was also a value that could be used up to the depths.
Taesan switched between an 8 ATK ring and a colorless ring.
And the 40th floor. Reward for clearing one theme.
[Title: The one who does not stop]
[Your heart is not broken and your feet do not stop, and
you have reached the 40th floor.]
[Attack +3
[Defense +3]
[Title: The one who is not satisfied]
[You can settle down Unsatisfied, I continued to go down the labyrinth and see the result.]
[Strength + 6
[Ag + 6]
[Intelligence + 6
[Attack + 2]
[Defense + 20]
[Title: Stepping into Perfection Now]
[You came down to the 40th floor without missing anything. It’s a near-impossible feat.]
[Attack +5
[Defense +50]
[Title: Recognized] [You
‘ve reached a point where
no one can deny and acknowledge your achievements .]
[Attack +4
[Defense + 4
] [The price of shop items decreases by 10%
.]
[NPCs and gods have a crush on you
.] [
Gets
a special always-activated skill [Defense Penetration] ]
“It increases overall attack power a lot.”
[
Because there is a limit to the supply and demand of attack power. It’s a story that doesn’t matter if it’s you.]
As the ghost said, Taesan, who had the Airlock weapon skill, didn’t have much attack power.
Still, since the supply and demand itself is more difficult than the stats, it would be nice to get such a high number.
[Gangtaesan]
[Level: 88]
[Shield: 1599/1599]
[Stamina: 17920/17920]
[Mana: 2582/2582]
M Skill: 312/312]
[Strength: 4298]
[Intelligence: 3854]
[Agility: : 4083]
[Attack Power + 809]
[Defense Power + 638]
[The target is in excellent condition.]
These were Taesan’s current stats.
Gradually, 1/3 of Lee Tae-yeon followed. It was a satisfactory growth rate
.
And this wasn’t the end.
There was also a skill attached to the title of Recognized Person.
[Special always-on skill: Defense penetration]
[Proficiency level: 1%]
[Ignores opponent’s defense by 10%.]
Decreases defense. It was a bit out of the blue, but I could guess why it was given.
“Is it an advantage when fighting an adventurer from a deeper place?”
The attack power and defense power of the labyrinth were calculated by adding and subtracting each other. In other words, if the opponent’s defense is higher than their attack power, it means that it is impossible to inflict damage.
It wasn’t that he couldn’t attack vital points, certain skills, or the flow of battle, but it wasn’t a gap that could be easily narrowed down. Taesan would have had a hard time overcoming it if it hadn’t been for the Airak weapon technology.
“I gave it to you later than expected.”
[It’s not like we can’t overcome this point, but from now on, we really can’t win. It’s time for that much of a gap.]
Another change from the 40th floor.
I was looking forward to it. What kind of items will I get and what skills will I get in the future?
But before that, there was work to be done.
I could feel someone walking up the stairs. Taesan murmured.
“Wait until confirmation. That’s nice.”
“It’s the most enjoyable time while going down the labyrinth, and I can’t interrupt that.”
It was a man with black hair.
He still looked young. From the feeling of Taesan, he seemed to be the same age as the Anessia I met in Beguesetta.
He had a very helpless expression. He waved his hand as if he had no will to fight.
“Nice to meet you.”
“okay.”
Taesan answered calmly and looked at the demons.
It was different from Taesan’s expectations.
I thought that as soon as I saw Taesan, it would show hostility and run at it, just like the guides of sin do. So as soon as I felt the presence of people, I finished preparing to activate all skills.
However, there was no other hostility from the demons in front of me.
“I really hate it. I hate it.”
On the contrary, there was even a hint of negativity.
Level up with skill
