271. 61 Chapter of the test (2)
“A weak person does not deserve to go down here.”
Beldencia said.
“My test is kind of the bottom line. If you can’t get past this, you’ll only get killed if you go down.”
in depth.
The first hurdle to get there.
It was on the 61st floor.
‘Lee Tae-yeon said how long it took.’
She said it took about three months. As he barely passed, Beldencia said that he was looking at him with an absurd look.
‘Passing is passing… this is true. Could it have passed like this?’
Beldenkkia, who must have dealt with adventurers for an immeasurable amount of time, laughed at Lee Tae-yeon.
Taesan didn’t know what method he used to get through, because he didn’t say. Just a coward, she
probably didn’t get through in the normal way.
“Are you going to accept it?”
“yes.”
Taesan replied.
“Then I’ll tell you the rough rules.”
Beldencia fiddled with her hat.
“You saw it as a system, but you can choose one power. It doesn’t matter if you got this power from the labyrinth or from outside by yourself.”
Beldencia beats the floor with her cane. Magical power spreads across the floor and a magic circle begins to be engraved.
“fence. Labyrinth skill. Magic… Choose one of your powers. Then I’ll seal all the other powers.”
“Overcome with one ability?”
“that’s right. It’s a test to see how you use that ability and how skillfully you handle it.”
A magic circle engraved with countless geometric patterns is drawn in front of Beldencia.
“The test can only be taken once a day and has a level of difficulty. On a scale of 1 to 10. 1 is the easiest and 10 is the hardest.”
“How much is it?”
“Didn’t you come across strange things called guides to sin on your way here?”
Taesan nodded. Beldenquia said.
“The first stage is the 60th floor. You can think of it as the level of the boss monster there.”
The level of the boss monster on the 60th floor. If so, it was not an easy opponent.
The adventurers who stepped on the 61st floor were all those who grabbed the boss, but that was the story when they used everything.
If you fight with only one ability, you will be defeated a hundred times. I could see why Lee Tae-yeon took more than three months.
“Can I die in the ordeal?”
“You may be driven close to death, but you will not die. you said this is a test If you die, you will be a host and guest.”
It meant never dying and challenging infinitely.
“What about 10?”
“Don’t think about it. It’s not the level of difficulty you’re trying to break in the first place. Will you accept it?”
“yes.”
“Then wait a minute.”
Beldencia’s staff pointed at Mount Tai.
[Beldenkkia activated Labyrinth Authority: Target Confirmation.]
“This is a skill I acquired while being bound here. You can figure out what kind of powers the adventurer who visits has .
Doesn’t it make sense if the examiner doesn’t even know that?”
Beldenkia said that while looking at Mount Tai. Soon his face contorted.
“what?”
“Why are you like that?”
“Magic? besides that black magic law? How do you, a human, have it?”
“I got it from a drinker.”
“…drank?”
Beldencia
was very confused. He barely opened his mouth.
“What you can challenge is… swordsmanship, magic, black magic, spiritism. there are four like this Alchemy is still lacking, so it’s not a challenge itself.”
After thinking for a while, Taesan opened his mouth.
“In that case, swordsmanship first.”
“good.”
Beldenkkia tapped the completed magic circle with a drowsy face.
A light rose from the magic circle.
“When it comes to swordsmanship… this guy
is suitable. Then what difficulty will you set it to?”
“10 please.”
At Taesan’s words, Beldenkia calmly expressed her strength.
“It’s not bad to give up after experiencing reality.”
[Beldenkkia activates implementation.]
The magic circle is implemented. A knight wearing black armor and holding a lance showed up.
Chunk.
[All abilities except swordsmanship are sealed.]
‘This.’
It was strong.
It was at the level of the Spirit King’s shield. He was not an opponent worthy of coming out on the 61st floor.
“Did you tell me? I won’t be able to break it.”
Beldencia raised her staff.
“It’s not bad to get beaten first and then realize. I’ll start.”
Knight
Kuung kicked his feet. The air burst and the lance pierced Taesan’s head.
Taesan
stayed still as if he couldn’t keep up with the knight’s movements.
Beldenkkia calmly watched the scene.
Not one or two people made the same choice as Taesan. Those who risked their lives and overcame all irrationality to come down here had very strong confidence in themselves.
The first thing they did after hearing Beldencia’s explanation was to try to pass the 10th level test.
The only adventurer who didn’t choose level 10 and chose level 1 from the beginning was Taeyeon Lee from her previous life.
In other words, all the adventurers that Beldenkia saw today chose level 10. And they were all destroyed in an instant.
This guy won’t be any different. Seeing that the ghost was by his side, he was not weak, but… The 10th level had the power beyond the 61st floor.
After challenging the 10 steps and breaking out miserably, I will reduce the steps one by one. In the end, even in the first stage, I would beg and barely clear it.
And I will go down, content with myself and rejoice at the barely insignificant achievements
.
It doesn’t change. It was always the same.
It was disgusting. their weakness. To be able to have that kind of power and still have confidence.
‘When will I be?’
Nothing more was expected.
It was the moment when Beldencia sighed and took up her staff to heal the acid that was about to be destroyed.
Kagagakak!
The sound of metal clashing resounded. Beldencia’s pupils widened.
Taesan deflected the knight’s charge with his sword.
Taesan’s sword moved. At the same time as the afterimage was drawn, the knight’s lance shook violently.
Kagagagak!
Sparks fly.
Movements that transcend sound collide with each other. Taesan lowers his sword. The knight swings his lance and deflects it.
Caang!
Taesan widens the distance. I look at the article with a calm gaze.
And Beldenkkia blankly watched it.
“uh?”
“It’s fast too.”
Spirit King’s shield level. If I judged calmly, I jumped the 70th floor. However
, it was not a big problem for Taishan if there was no in-depth equipment .
Now, he had higher stats than him because of the rise in spirit level.
However, Beldenkia, who did not know that, could not understand the scene in front of her eyes.
‘…Push it by force?’
Beldencia was a wizard.
He was the one who judged the reason and laws of things and tried to understand the providence.
He knew this because he had grasped and observed many things while going down the labyrinth.
The stats of a 10th-level knight are completely outside the standard and cannot be reached even if everything up to the 60th floor is near-perfect.
In other words, level 10 was not designed to be won in the first place.
The only possibility was to perfectly grasp the knight’s behavior and capture it after countless challenges.
But so far no one has succeeded in doing that. It’s easy to say. I had to invest almost a year unit of time. And even that was a very flimsy possibility
, so I didn’t know if it would succeed or not.
That’s why everyone lowered their eyes after realizing that it was impossible after a few challenges.
but.
This.
Caang!
Lance and sword clash. Their weapons ricocheted off each other.
There was almost no sign of strength. It was an irrational sight that even Beldenkkia, who had overcome
numerous hardships, adversity, and irrationality,
could not accept.
It didn’t end there.
fault.
Taesan kicked his feet.
[You activate acceleration.]
“What?”
Beldencia was even more surprised. It was obviously a test of swordsmanship, but a skill? Incomprehensible, Beldencia hurriedly checked, but the test was proceeding normally.
“What is it?”
he was embarrassed
It was the first time I felt bewilderment in hundreds of years.
In the meantime, the fight continued.
The knight belatedly blocked the blow of Taesan, who rushed in an instant. However, as the reaction was delayed, the body was pushed back.
[You activated a strong attack.]
Caang!
The sword being swung has strength. The knight’s body is gradually pushed back.
cooong!
Even the knights are not taken lightly. Millie stabs the spear while supporting herself on her hind legs. Taesan moves his sword as the lance tries to pierce his head.
[You activated Charm.]
The trajectory of the spear is twisted.
Taesan drove the sword deep into the body of the knight who showed an opening.
The knight shakes his body violently. Shakes the spear in all directions like a whip.
Taesan dug in rather deeply.
[You activated Shedding.]
Ku-gu-gu-gu-gung!
He cuts off all spears that are being swung and combs them away. It burrows downward and lifts the opponent up to cut it.
[You activate Leap.]
Kwakdeuk.
The knight’s body floats in the air.
Taesan kicks his feet again.
It was a close to one-sided fight. Tae San’s stats went up a notch as he passed the 60th floor. Now, even at the level of the 70th floor, it could not overwhelm Taishan
.
In addition, Taesan had the ability sword, the highest swordsmanship among swordsmanship. Swordsmanship and stats were superior, so there was no way the opponent would be difficult.
Beldencia was watching the scene blankly.
Quadduk.
Ten minutes later, the knight with the sword stuck in his chest turned to dust and disappeared.
[The skill level of the ability sword increased by 1%.]
It was a good experience. Recently, his other abilities were so good that
he didn’t use the ability sword relatively often, but after using it as his main focus in this way, he got a feel for it.
“Are you done with this?”
“…okay.”
Beldencia nodded slowly.
His gaze at Taishan was strange.
astonished distrust. and expect.
After staring at Taesan for a while, Beldenkia opened her mouth.
“congratulations. The ordeal has passed. You ,
Beldencia
, were about to ask. Perhaps it was about how Taesan used his skills in the swordsmanship test.
Taesan answered before he asked.
“This is my swordsmanship.”
“Swordsmanship using skills?”
“yes. It’s my own swordsmanship that I created in the labyrinth.”
“…unique.”
Beldencia had a very curious face.
But he turned away without asking.
“Are you going down now?”
If you passed the test, you could go down to the 62nd floor. However, Taesan shook his head.
“no. You will take all the tests you can take.”
The more tests you clear, the more rewards you get. I had no intention of being content with just being here.
Beldenquia groaned.
“okay. I guess so. Then there is a problem
. I can’t do anything for a day.”
“Can’t I take the exam right away?”
“It was decided that way according to the law of the labyrinth. And so far, there has been no problem.”
The test has never been easy. Even at the easiest stage, most adventurers could barely win by fighting for several hours.
As such, it took time to recover the physical strength and mental strength consumed in the battle.
No matter how much Beldenkkia helped him, rest was absolutely necessary unless he leveled up.
So, I had a day to spare.
However, that leeway was useless for Taesan.
A small amount of mana was consumed while passing the test of swordsmanship. It was one. Physical and mental strength was perfect.
Beldenkia sat down and asked Taesan, who was contemplating what to do.
“Then why don’t we talk?”
“A story?”
“okay. story.”
Beldencia laughed.
“I have to take a day off anyway. What are you doing to pass the time blankly? Let’s talk.”
Beldencia continued.
“I am here. He’s the one who’s chained to the 61st floor
. And very, very few adventurers come this far. It’s a place where one person comes every 100 years. The guides who occasionally pass by are idiots who don’t even want to talk… That’s why I’m very lonely.”
One hundred years of solitude.
Beldencia looked at the ghost.
“How is the warrior?”
[I am a concept that awakens only when someone comes near my grave. Didn’t I feel lonely like you?]
“Damn it. Am I the only one who is lonely?”
Beldencia grumbled.
“Einzhar. Unlike me, the old man is not tied to one place and can move freely. I should have signed a contract like that.”
Beldencia straightened her back.
“I am very bored. I have to live alone in a place where there is nothing. So please tell me.”
Beldenkia’s gaze turned to Mount Tai.
“Let’s talk about miscellaneous things. Are you okay with that?”
[Huh?]
The ghost was puzzled.
[You didn’t talk to me when you met, did you? When I talk to you, I just frown because it’s annoying. But what do you want to talk about now?]
“Hero. shut up.”
Beldencia smiled and said.
“So what?”
Beldenkia’s gaze turned to Mount Tai. Inside it was a flickering flame.
Unlike the first time I met Taesan, he was very active.
And that has been seen since Taesan showed his strength.
Labyrinth NPC.
They were all tied to this place with their own wishes.
And most of them were wishes that could not be solved by themselves.
Taesan nodded.
“That much is fine.”
“good.”
Beldencia clapped. He
sat down in front of Taesan and asked.
“Then let’s have a good talk.
About each other’s business.”
Level up with skill
