“I will tell you more than that.”
Lee Tae-yeon was surprised and asked Tae-san.
“Would you like to tell others?”
“why. no?”
“no. That’s it…
Lee Taeyeon gave Oliver an uneasy look. Oliver pulled the chair back a little.
“At least I can’t have any favors with that one. Are you okay?”
“doesn’t care. I’m not going to tell you everything.”
To be honest, Taesan wasn’t interested in what tricks the U.S. played in this quest. What mattered was survival.
“If you continue to cause trouble, I will move, but not yet. Our goal is survival, not confrontation.”
survival. survive and return to Earth.
At that, their expressions became serious. Lee Tae-yeon also turned her gaze away
from Oliver as if accepting .
“Before that, let’s ask. Are you guys going to work with us to deal with the monster?”
” yes.”
“I have no intention of rejecting you by coming here.”
“Because it is better to work together than to be alone.”
Each showed a positive attitude. Taesan tapped the table with his fingertips.
“Then let’s make a contract before that.”
[Kang Tae-san proposes a contract of silence to everyone in the space.]
[Condition: Silence for specific information coming from this place.]
[Accept and reject. You have two choices.]
A contract of silence. It was one of several rights a player could do, such as a duel. Taesan opened his mouth.
“From now on, if you know what I’m going to say, it can be a little annoying. So make sure.”
About the gods. And about the labyrinth.
It’s something everyone should know someday, but not right away. At least when people came to the stage of guessing, they were able to solve the information. Confusingly telling the truth would only lead to confusion.
Oliver asked cautiously.
“What if I break it?”
“Nothing. I just get a notification that I’ve violated it. And when you return to Earth, you will only have to pay the price for breaking the contract.”
“…Right.”
Oliver swallowed at the calm reply
.
“I will accept it.”
” me too.”
“yes.”
Amelia nodded quietly, and everyone accepted last.
Taesan opened his mouth.
“How do you think we got into the labyrinth?”
About God. about gosin. And about the labyrinth.
Taesan explained the information he found out to them.
They risked their lives to lead people and either survived to the end or died before that.
Everyone here did their best to survive. The truth was their natural right to know.
Of course, not everything was released
. The separation of the labyrinth and the reason for the difficulty were not explained. It was because it was a word that only undermined the will to do so.
But most of the important points have been explained.
By the time the story was over, their faces were filled with shock.
“…I vaguely expected it.”
Daniel opened his mouth with trembling eyes.
“Really… God was involved.”
“The sudden end of the world. And
the labyrinth. If it happened by chance without the intervention of a transcendent being, that would be even scarier.”
“I knew that there was such a thing because Amelia talked about God… but I thought it was an Alone Mode story and didn’t pay much attention to it. But it was directly related to us.”
Oliver muttered quietly. Everyone was in shock.
In the case of Lee Tae-yeon and Kang Jun-hyeok, the shock was comparatively less because they had already been tried by the gods in Alone Mode, but it was not absent. They
didn’t even know that Earth was being invaded by Gosins.
“I said that God opposes God. So, are you kind to us?”
“no.”
Taesan shook his head at Eika’s question.
“They don’t care about each mortal. He only gives favors to those he likes.”
Taesan glanced at Amelia. “
I should say that
the God of Fall seeks toys rather than favors them , but he doesn’t give that much attention to other humans.”
Amelia flinched at Taesan’s words.
But there was no rebuttal or anger. I was just quietly thinking about something.
“If you’ve come this far, you know why Korea came to be like this, right?”
Overwhelmingly strong Taishan. However, very few people survived in Korea.
said Oliver in a trembling voice
.
“…The old gods are trying to kill you.”
“that’s right. You’re giving me too much attention. I wish you could turn it off.”
Everyone’s eyes were in awe at the sight of Taesan grumbling.
A being that crushes the planet itself. An immortal transcendental being who has far surpassed the scope of human cognition.
and the human beings who receive their attention.
Once again, I felt how great the existence of Taesan was.
“This… I can’t quite say it.”
Kim Hwiyeon said with a sigh. It was a big secret. If he confessed right away, it was clear that uncontrollable chaos would come.
“Anyway, it’s good to be prepared. Earth’s quest has expanded from the country to the world, and now the old gods will be interested in the whole world.”
Everyone nodded with firm faces.
Taesan clapped.
“This is the information that cannot be shared with the outside world. From now on, it’s information that can be released as much as you like. They will tell you about your skills.”
At those words, the heavy atmosphere disappeared. Everyone waited for Taesan’s words with shining eyes.
There is no one who does not know the importance of skill. Depending on what skill you have, the possibility of survival itself changes.
Taesan is the strongest player on Earth. That kind of person was to teach the skill. I had to cram every single word into my head.
Taesan started to explain.
Unbreakable Will Counter Vital Attack Apnea Attack Consecutive Attack Light Minutes, etc.
First, it tells about the skills that anyone can acquire if they work hard. Those who have already obtained it but did not know how to acquire it are in awe, and those who could not obtain it in the first place shine their eyes and put the information into their heads.
“Muhohop… looks really good. How long do you have to hold out?”
“Until the moment of death.”
Not everyone can get it by telling them. Anyone can achieve something if they try, but that effort is never easy.
However, if it is known to all players, there will be one or two winners. And there will be people who look at them and think that they can achieve it and take on the challenge.
So slowly people get stronger.
That was what Taesan wanted.
“It looks difficult, but
it is well worth the effort. How did you find out all this?”
“I am also curious. You told us as soon as you first entered the labyrinth.”
“…As soon as you enter?”
Amelia murmured quietly. The voice was so low that no one could hear it except Taesan.
Taesan ignores him and continues.
“The next takeoff and landing. The effect is that you can jump high, and no matter how high you fall, you will not receive damage.”
“How do I get it?”
“To land at a height that would kill you if you fell.”
Everyone shut up.
Taesan said.
“This is a skill that anyone can acquire.”
Oliver was taken aback by Taesan’s words.
“Anyone got it? I think only a few can get this.”
“Anyone can get it. As long as you try.”
It was a skill that could not be obtained from here.
Taesan winked.
“Then Lee Tae-yeon, Kang Jun-hyuk and Amelia.”
“…me too?”
“okay.”
Taesan nodded.
“Leave three and leave the rest. It’s an ambiguous skill to tell everyone from here on out.”
Originally, there were times when I decided to tell you about the level of invalidation of attacks and endurance
.
What Taesan wanted was the survival of as many people as possible, not the strength of that individual. There was no reason to save skill.
However, he did not believe in individual human beings.
Skills such as Forced Duel Absolute Judgment were skills that could cause great confusion if someone close to evil tended to learn them.
Taesan remembered. Those who tried to fulfill their desires by pretending to kill other players when they returned to Earth
.
Of course, it would be close to impossible for them to acquire the skill. In my previous life, I told everyone about Ker Unity, but the one who got it was Lee Tae-yeon. Because there was only one
She, too, had only obtained pluses and strokes.
But if there was. There was no reason to leave the possibility of creating a riot.
Above all, if you think about the conditions to obtain it, people who die while trying to get it could spring up. The loss
outweighed the gains from letting them know.
‘There.’
Unlike the previous life, the Alone mode players were quite alive.
What if they learn to hold on and encounter the guide?
At least it didn’t paint a good picture. There was a good chance that they would tell the guide all the skills Taesan had taught them for their own benefit. Or, after being captured and tortured, he could only speed up his skills and be killed.
Power that did not match one’s ability was poison.
Although the space was separated, it was not known how the effect would come. The core skill was intended to be solved after further filtering.
“ah. yes.”
“all right.”
Just before they went out, he leaned over Tae San.
“Thank you very much.”
They knew too. The information Taesan said
is very valuable information that cannot be obtained even with a thousand gold. It’s not strange at all if Taesan doesn’t say it and has it by himself.
It was provided to all of them at no cost. Regardless of the acquisition conditions, they all knew that it was an incredible opportunity.
Taesan replied.
“If you’re thankful, you’ll survive until the end. That is the answer you can do.”
“…I can’t even die from this.”
they left Taesan said to the three remaining.
“Hold on for now. Kang Jun-hyeok and Lee Tae-yeon would know.”
“Ah…
“Yes. I know. I couldn’t get it.”
They both said tremulously. Taesan said to Amelia.
“The effect is immunity to all damage for a certain period of time when receiving lethal damage.”
“…Do you really have that kind of skill?”
Dani gave me one chance when I was about to die. It was a skill
with ridiculous value .
Taesan replied.
“If you take damage even once, you just have to perfectly block the opponent’s attack several times in a situation where you die.”
“…what?”
“And next attack nullification. The effect is a skill that erases the attack itself the moment it hits. The way to get it is to take off all your armor and avoid taking damage in a situation where you must take damage.”
“Is it okay to use defense skills?”
“no. You have to reduce the damage by shedding purely with movement. Only the blessing powder that increases luck is allowed.”
In response to the opponent’s attack, he possessed the attack to reduce the damage as much as possible and had to use the powder of blessing to nullify all the reduced damage to get it.
If there was a shield, it would be easy to obtain, but it was a shortcut that only Taesan, who had passed the enhanced ordeal, could use. These weren’t
The ghost, who had been listening quietly, grumbled.
[For once, they’re filthy good guys. Even if I could get just one of the things you say, there are many people who would give everything, and they get this without any cost.]
Labyrinth’s skills are absolute. Nullification nullifies no matter how strong the opponent is, and Forced Duel cannot interfere even with the Spirit King.
If I were to inform the leader of the guide about the nullification of the attack right away, they would literally concede everything and
try to get it. The skills Taesan was talking about were worth it.
Obtaining such a thing for nothing was surely a one-of-a-kind chance in life.
“I’ve heard of it before, but isn’t it an impossible skill to acquire?”
“Is that really possible? No matter how much I listen to it, it seems impossible to acquire.”
Kang Jun-hyeok and Lee Tae-yeon had cryptic faces. The two believe in Tae-san, but all the conditions Tae-san tells them are absurd
.
Amelia was the only one staring at Mount Tai with a shocked face.
Heat began to form in his eyes.
Taesan, who glanced at him, opened his mouth.
“I am not forcing you to learn. But I’m putting it in my head. The difference between being aware of the conditions of the skill or not is huge.”
Taesan continued to explain.
plus absolute verdict. forced duel. in writing. Skills that each
have the value of a main skill.
gave that information.
“Ugh… my head hurts…
Lee Taeyeon tried to put the information into her head while covering her head. Amelia looked at Mount Tai with an agitated gaze.
“Finally, the blade of fighting spirit. The effect is to triple the damage. The cooldown is one hour.”
“That doesn’t even make sense…
“The acquisition condition is to survive by fighting to the death against an opponent you can never win.”
Upon hearing the condition, Lee Taeyeon was taken aback.
“Then aren’t Junhyeok and I satisfied? You fought Taesan-san.”
“Didn’t you get it?”
“yes. Junhyeok. you?”
“I didn’t get it either.”
Taesan turned his gaze to their answer.
“Amelia. you?”
“…I didn’t get it either.”
she said in a quiet voice. After thinking about the condition for a while, Taesan said.
“Because this battle wasn’t a proper battle.”
In the Trial of the Falling God, instead of death, it was only incapacity. It was only natural that he would not get it because the precondition for risking his life had collapsed.
“Then, when I fought to get the ability sword before…
“At that time, you guys didn’t fight for victory.”
“ah.”
Taeyeon muttered blankly.
“The skill is really hard to get…
“Then you thought it would be easy? Still, if you know the conditions, there will be a chance to acquire it as you go down the labyrinth.”
Taesan got up from his seat.
“That’s all I will tell you. Talk among yourself about the rest. Then Amelia.”
“.me?”
“Come with me because I have something to tell you.”
Level up with skill
