– Volume 12, Chapter 5
280. Amelia Aerin (2)
Wow!
Amelia is pinned to the ground. Tae San brushed his hands.
“It’s useful… but that’s it.”
Amelia is obviously strong.
With this much power, it exceeded the level of the 40th floor.
However, the present Mount Tai had the power to reach the depths.
No matter how hard Amelia tried, she couldn’t even withstand his blow.
Taesan looks at the fallen Amelia. Her limp body disappears.
[Quest completed]
[You have become the winner.]
[Settlement…]
[You have obtained 1250 points.]
[Forced invitation triggered.]
[You move to the realm of the gods.]
At that moment, the space was distorted.
A huge force crushed everything and forcibly moved Taesan’s body.
Yu Q »
Amid the pressure of a huge force, Taesan looked around.
Darkness like dark mud spread all around. They swayed and made a sound like a scream.
Taesan frowned.
I could feel it. What is that mud-like darkness?
That was the human soul. It wasn’t one
. over a thousand
And the emotions of the souls were full of despair and betrayal.
‘This is…
mortal. It was a place where their souls and emotions intermingled.
Taesan looked around and saw the glowing darkness.
It wasn’t black, as if the soul hadn’t completely collapsed yet. It was close to gray.
However, the gray soul was swarming around and shaking as if it would be dyed at any moment.
‘That’s it.’
[You.]
As Taesan tried to approach the gray soul, a huge voice rang out.
A huge presence began to weigh down Taesan.
[You dare to be lowly.]
It was shining more brilliantly than anyone else in the darkness like mud.
Souls touched by the light scream and run away. A gigantic being like a mountain reveals its teeth toward Mount Tai.
[Something like a mortal. How dare you mess with my plans.]
The emotion of anger turned toward Taesan.
I was breathless for a moment. My whole body was swallowed up in fear.
[You activated Apostleization [Darkness and Chaos].]
[You activated the King’s Vessel.]
Gyeok surrounds the body to protect it. Breathing returns and the trembling of the whole body subsides.
Taesan opened his mouth.
“I don’t know why you are doing this.
God of Fall. Essence.”
he laughed
“I won by the rules you set. I wouldn’t have done anything to hate you.”
[A vulgar thing.]
The voice of the God of Fall was annoyed.
[A worthless, meaningless mortal believes in trivial power and goes wild. Die.]
With the declaration, power comes flying to Taesan. The transcendental power tries to kill Taesan.
“no.”
Taesan denied his words.
“I do this by believing in something other than my own strength. You are a drinker.”
As soon as Taesan finished speaking, the space split. A small, white hand appears.
[Until there.]
[How?]
I was perplexed by the voice of the God of Fall. The demon appeared with a grin.
[hi. Essence.]
[…Drank. Young God.]
The God of Fall said in a voice mixed with annoyance.
[This is my territory. How did you get here?]
[That’s right. It was quite difficult to penetrate because it was your area. But… there are mortals that kite touches.]
The Demon God glanced at Mount Tai. Anger crept across the god of the fall’s face.
[You’re going to confront me to protect mortals?]
[I’m sorry to say that.]
The demon smiled.
[We weren’t good friends from the beginning, right? what now come And he’s worth far more than you.]
[Demon!]
[I don’t intend to do anything about other gods… but isn’t this too embarrassing?] The
demon’s face was full of ridicule.
[You openly pushed me to play with a mortal, but then you try to take your anger out that it failed? I know that your behavior as a transcendent is
meaningless, but you’re infinite.]
[Shut up. Drank.]
The god of the fall growled.
[Didn’t you do everything for your favorite mortal in those four years?]
[No. What I did for him was a fair reward for his work. I didn’t force you to do something to give you a reward like you did.]
The demon went on.
[And I’m just contemplating. I didn’t try to play around
by moving myself like you did .]
The demon’s power began to envelop Taesan.
[I do not intend to speak at length. essence. He is my favorite mortal. I have no intention of letting you touch it.]
The demon smiled.
The god of the fall was furious.
In response, the powers ran rampant, and the powers of the two transcendents began to collide.
A force that could destroy the world over and over again raged.
And it was the drinker who showed the upper hand.
Darkness like mud began to be pushed away by pure black.
In the trembling space, the Demon God waved his hand.
[Then I don’t want to see you again. Goodbye.]
[You!]
The space is closed.
A pure black darkness appeared to the world.
[It’s good to be careful. God is
n’t just about liking the powerful. There must be gods who act as they please like immortals.]
“Thank you. You are a drinker.”
Although the demon god said to borrow his name, he did not think that he would come down and protect him.
The drinker grinned.
[Then would you like to be my apostle?]
“No.”
Taesan cut like a knife. He also turned around to see if he was serious or not.
[I just moved first. Even if it wasn’t me, there were many gods to stop.]
The number of gods who favor Mount Tae is not small. It was a story that they would have moved and stopped the god of the fall.
[This is possible because you built it in the labyrinth. So no need to be thankful. It’s an achievement you won.]
The demon looked at Mount Tai and said.
The demon waved her hand. The space began to distort.
[Then goodbye. I’ll look forward to seeing you again later.]
“Before that, I have one question for you.”
[I wonder what?]
“If I approach the god of the fall, how will he react?”
[I really hate it and will give you difficult trials… but I won’t try not to give you the trials itself. Deep trials are what even gods need. And I’m not going to try to kill you outright. I declared that I am protecting it.]
The demon raised an eyebrow.
[Is it because of the poor kid on the 61st floor?]
“Because I got a quest. It cannot be ignored.”
[You do not have to worry. There won’t be any problems with that. And the same goes for Amelia.]
Taesan looked at the demon.
“Did you know?”
[The Fall God’s actions are quite famous on our side. It’s a god that doesn’t get very good reviews.]
If you think about it, other gods couldn’t have liked it.
Going down to the depths of the labyrinth meant having considerable talent and power.
To use such a mortal as a toy of a god and throw it away. Considering the reason why the gods settled in the labyrinth, it was strange that they did not reject it.
[The god of the fall is talent and thought. look at the two The moment you fail to satisfy even one, you turn off your interest. In other words, depending on what you do, she could be abandoned by the god of the fall
.]
The Demon God smiled.
[Let me smash it. I’ll be watching happily.]
“Thank you.”
Spaces mixed up and Taesan put her foot on the hard floor.
And there was also a buzz around. Looking around, there were countless people huddled together.
“no. Not that.”
“Of course, you must be desperate to survive
. But is it the same for us? Anyway, there are a lot of people doing my job, so what is this about with a high win rate?”
I could see Oliver making excuses and Kim Hwi-yeon arguing with each other. Not only her, but the eyes of other countries toward American players were not good.
The U.S. openly worked together to knock out players from other countries for their own victory.
It wouldn’t be strange if a fight broke out right away.
“sorry.”
Oliver raised both hands and apologized. Lee Taeyeon, who had been quietly listening, opened her mouth.
“What about Taesan?”
“yes?”
“Where did Mr. Taesan go?”
There was no emotion in her voice.
The ice-cold voice made Oliver wince.
“That… we don’t know.”
A wave of momentum
came out of Lee Tae-yeon. Oliver shook his hand in amazement.
“I asked Amelia who had returned, but she was in a daze and couldn’t answer. First of all, since the final winner is Taesan, I’m thinking that he might be receiving some kind of reward.”
“So you mean you don’t even know about the subject of this prank?”
Lee Tae-yeon put strength into the hand holding the sword. Oliver’s face turned white.
“What are you doing?”
” uh?”
Lee Taeyeon turned her head in surprise. Upon checking Taesan, the coldness from before had disappeared.
“Mr. Taesan!”
At the sound of her voice, the eyes focused on Tae-san.
[End of the Colosseum.]
[Last winner: Kang Tae-san]
[Country with the most surviving players: USA]
[Rewards are given to those who have achieved results.]
[Quest ends. Korea USA France Japan. Adventurers from four countries gather at the meeting square.]
[Return to their respective labyrinths in two days.]
The quest has ended. But if it ended like this, everyone would be dissatisfied.
In the end, they met people from other countries after a long time, but all they did was kick each other and fight to determine the winner.
So after the quest was over, I was given time to talk to people for two days. For two days, we were able to see each other’s faces, talk to each other, and exchange information.
‘Originally, it would have been a place to further raise Amelia’s pride.’
No more.
People’s eyes were focused on Taesan.
A young gray-haired man approached. With clear features, as if he were a model, he greeted Taesan.
“hello.”
“Daniel Darmont?”
“uh? do you know me?”
Daniel’s eyes lit up. Taesan replied.
“Roughly.”
“but. The community also talked about me. You know about me.”
Daniel nodded to himself and concluded. Of course not. The reason Taesan knew him was because they had talked about it quite a bit in their previous lives.
“ah. hello.”
An older woman with bobbed hair up to her shoulders approached, bowing her head. Seeing him, Kim Hwi-yeon tilted her head for a moment, then exclaimed.
“Are you Eika Ichijou?”
“Yes…
she scratched her head shyly.
Leaders from each country gathered among countless people.
“You look a lot younger than I was told. Is it because he was originally an idol?”
“Don’t talk about my age.”
Eika was startled and shook her hand. Daniel, who had been laughing quietly, opened his mouth.
“Anyway… I’m here to ask.”
Their gazes focused on Oliver.
Oliver opened his mouth shyly.
“Can I make an excuse?”
Daniel smiled.
“It’s not possible.”
“More on that in a moment. For now… it looks like there is a problem that needs to be checked right away.”
“…Yes.”
Daniel and Aika’s eyes turned to Taesan. There was wonder in it.
“I knew it was strong, but
I didn’t expect it to be this strong…
I overcame dozens of hard modes. He also defeated Amelia, who is also in the same Alone mode and is said to be the strongest in the United States.
Their country also had an Alone mode, but most of them were similar to the Hard mode. Even those who were rarely ahead were not at the level of overcoming dozens of hard modes.
Taesan and Amelia are stronger than him, but I didn’t think there would be such a big difference.
But as I heard, it
was more than that.
Oliver shook his head.
“I am embarrassed too.”
Taesan was stronger than Amelia.
that too much.
so overwhelming.
Just looking at the speed at which the final winner was decided after he was eliminated, it was clear that Amelia was not even an opponent.
“How strong are you?”
It was pure curiosity as a player. At his words , everyone except the
Korean player’s eyes lit up.
Taesan turned around.
“I will show you soon.”
Permission was obtained from the demon. Taesan moved. The people who were watching made a sound and made a path.
Amelia, who was on the other side, shrank as she saw the mountain approaching her. He gave Taesan a cat-like gaze.
“…what. Are you here to mock me?”
Taesan showed it through actions instead of answers
.
[Kang Tae-san challenges Amelia Aerin to a duel. This duel takes place in a state where both sides are perfectly equal.]
Level up with skills.
