296. The Green Witch (1)
“She is dead.”
A cold voice rings out. However, there was a commotion that could not be hidden within it.
“He is dead.”
The archmage looked at the extinguished jewel and frowned.
“The shaman is dead.”
“…really?”
“Jewels do not lie. you should know The shaman no longer exists in the labyrinth.”
Moaning erupts from all directions. Ambrasia scratches her head in bewilderment.
“Should this be a funeral?”
“We are adventurers who risk our lives to descend the labyrinth. those who have already given up their lives Haven’t we decided not to meditate on each other’s deaths in silence?”
“That’s true, but that’s the story of when you died while going down the labyrinth, right?
But this…
Ambrecia is speechless. The fire spirit king closes his eyes. The Lion King twitches his eyebrows.
“…I don’t understand. How?”
There was bewilderment in his voice.
“no. It’s true that the Shaman was defeated. But not even a day had passed since the Shaman had gone down. Breaking through his defenses in just one day? Is that really possible?”
The Lion King looked around at them and asked
.
“Which of us can break through the shaman’s defenses in one day?”
At that, none of them raises their hand easily. Societe opens her mouth.
“I might have a chance.”
A cold but beautiful voice rang out.
“And the Lion King. You have a chance too. We’re both focused on offense. Even the Archmage could break through if he was ready. Isn’t the spirit king also possible?”
“I am impossible. Shaman’s defense is also specialized for spirits.”
The Spirit King said quietly. Shaman gained several defense skills against spirits through sparring with her. Even she couldn’t break through the shaman’s defense.
“And you too have a possibility, but in reality it would be impossible.”
Societe nodded quietly.
If the shaman did not
respond to them and continued to greet them innocently, the moment they responded sincerely, the shaman could endure for days and days.
guide to sin.
The one who boasts of that absolute defense power.
The weight of that horse was never light.
But now Taishan had won against Shaman in less than a day.
“It’s difficult.”
A moaning voice rang out.
“It’s very difficult…
They hardly thought that the Shaman would be defeated. It was different from other guides so far.
As their companions, Shaman sparred with them tens of thousands of times and conducted in-depth raids together.
It was hard to believe that they would be defeated by an adventurer who had barely stepped on the depths, as they had watched the shaman’s power for a long time.
Ambrecia scratched her head.
“Hmm… let’s get our cool back first. Didn’t that already happen?”
“…okay. It should be.”
Their eyes quickly regain their cool.
A labyrinth is a place where anything beyond the scope of imagination can happen. No matter how unexpected the situation was, quickly regaining coolness was a virtue that anyone who had stepped on the depths should have.
“I express my condolences to the shaman. I will not stop those who want to commemorate them personally. Especially the fire spirit king. Aren’t you quite close with Shaman?”
The fire spirit king nodded.
Her eyes were sunken.
They have been staying here for an incalculable amount of time. Even if they weren’t close enough to sacrifice their lives for each other, those who were like-minded had a certain amount of friendship.
“Then we’ll start checking.”
They still don’t know information about Mount Tai. It was because the demons blocked the acquisition of quantum information in order to fight each other fairly.
But now they could guess.
The Shaman, not the other guides,
were defeated. It was information in itself.
“Even though there are people among us who can’t win against the shaman, the shaman was chosen.”
The Demon God doesn’t want to see a fight with no chance. They want to see the bloody battle between those who are more or less equal to each other.
In other words, it meant that only Shaman among them was an opponent that Taishan could win.
“Do you have a defense penetration skill?” “However
, it is impossible with simple defense penetration .
Shaman has a skill that responds to defense penetration.”
“In addition, the shaman wore a lot of defensive equipment. No matter how high the rate of defense penetration, can an adventurer who has not reached depth penetrate it in one day?”
So Siet, who had been silent, asked the Archmage.
“In the case of magic, can it be pierced?”
“It is possible. Magic is a great power. However, it requires a long preparation process.”
The archmage waved his wand.
“We need to create a magic circle, take control of the space, and prepare for the realization of magic. Even if you can’t, you need to prepare several days in advance. I should have met him as soon as I cleared the 64th floor. Then it is impossible.”
“Shaman also had a recovery skill. Then you may also have a skill that reduces recovery.”
“Ambrasia. Didn’t I mention that I have a skill called nullification of attacks when fighting you? Talk about it in detail.”
They started a discussion. I started digging up information about Taesan one by one.
“You must be talking loudly by now.”
[What is it?]
“The top leaders.”
[…Aha.]
The ghost realized. he laughed
[I guess so.]
Taesan beat the shaman. It was a guide horse with absolute defense.
Even if the Demon God blocked information, that in itself was a piece of information.
How did Taesan pierce the shaman? And how did you win? I will share my opinion about it.
And in the process, you’d also guess that Taesan can break through defenses.
‘doesn’t care.’
It was information that would come out someday if he fought with the leadership anyway. That much was expected.
The important thing was that Taishan became stronger faster and more surely than they expected.
Taesan attacked the 65th floor. In an instant, I cleaned up the monsters and arrived at the boss room.
[Some of the vines that covered the world
appeared.]
The entire boss room was covered with vines.
The vines swayed madly, trying to engulf Mount Tai. Taesan opened his mouth.
“Burn.”
Flames rise from the tips of the vines and begin burning the entire vine.
Ignore the throbbing pain and manifest the magic. Light and cold rage.
Koo Goo Goo…
[You have won against some of the vines that have covered the world]
[You have obtained the Green Witch’s Wand]
[The Green Witch’s Wand]
[Magic + 160]
[Mana + 1500]
[Intelligence + 1000]
[The staff of the green witch who ruled the northern forest of the world. The staff she used in her mortal life.]
[The power greatly increases when using witch’s magic.]
“Witch’s magic?”
It was the first word I saw. To him, magic was only the magic of the magic god.
said the ghost.
[Judging from the fact that he was a mortal, he must have escaped mortal life. There are quite a few gods who create their own magic among beings who are beyond mortal. But…]
“Compared to the magic of the God of Magic, the class is not enough?”
[I guess so? Because the god of magic is the god of magic itself. Still, since it is the magic of a great being, its value is great, but this place is a labyrinth. Its value is relatively low.]
Clear conditions have been met. The way down to the 66th floor opened.
However, the secret reward was not obtained.
The reward you get when you figure out the hidden element of the floor ???.
I couldn’t find anything I hadn’t missed before.
“I didn’t see the secret room.”
Taesan frowned. While breaking through the floors, he carefully inspected the labyrinth. But the secret room was nowhere to be seen.
So I thought it was a floor without a secret room itself, but that didn’t seem to be the case.
“I’ll have to look for it.”
[What are you doing?]
“Finding the secret.”
Taesan walked around the 65th floor after it was cleaned up. At first, the ghost was silent, but after an hour, two hours, three hours, and finally a day, I had no choice but to speak.
[I know how you feel. It would be a waste to miss out on the secret reward, having taken care of everything so far.]
The secret reward is the reward you get when you clear all floors.
Secret rewards are superior to rewards for simply clearing a floor. In addition,
a title was given to those who perfectly grasped the floors and broke through the labyrinth.
There was no way Taesan would give up easily. I will persevere in finding it. That is why the ghost was silent.
But after all this time, he had no choice but to speak.
[Isn’t this the kind of secret reward you can’t get at all?]
Taishan’s scout. and grasp the essence.
Both were sensing skills that were difficult for adventurers on this floor to possess.
In addition, Taesan had black magic and magic detection skills. In
fact, it was one of two things that he missed that didn’t come out even though it couldn’t have existed.
Either the system itself is lying.
Or it’s impossible to figure out in a normal way at all.
[The system doesn’t lie.]
Skill is absolute. The system speaks only the truth and the stats cannot be denied.
It was the trust in the labyrinth that those who descended the labyrinth naturally had.
[In other words, it’s a secret room that you have to find in a completely different way, but if you do this, you may not be able to find it forever.] You
have to be born with a special bloodline.
Or you have to form a relationship with someone in the labyrinth.
Either that or you have to have a special skill.
In the labyrinth, there were quite a few rewards that could be obtained only when certain conditions were met. It was such a flow that Taesan immediately found the forgotten room of the goddess and got a reward.
[You can’t get everything,]
said the Ghost.
The secrets of the labyrinth cannot be fathomed. This place, created by transcendentalists and wizards, was a place that mortals could not dare to predict.
In other words, there were things that had to be given up.
[Of course, it’s hard to miss as long as you don’t know what the conditions for conquest are, but…]
You shouldn’t simply clear the labyrinth. You had to conquer the labyrinth to make your wish come true.
Then what does conquest mean
?
Taesan, who didn’t know that yet, couldn’t miss the secret reward.
[However, if certain conditions must be met, it may be impossible to obtain. If so, even if you miss it, there is a high possibility that it will not matter to the conditions of conquest.]
A kind of secret that cannot be obtained literally. Can we say that we have conquered the labyrinth only when we obtain all of those things?
It wasn’t when the ghost saw it. The wizard he saw didn’t seem to want that
.
“no.”
However, Taesan shook his head.
“Only one day.”
It’s still too early to give up.
Taishan continued to search, and the ghost respected Taishan’s choice.
And for a full week, Taishan stayed on the 65th floor.
“It doesn’t come out.”
Taesan waved his hand. I carefully examined each brick, but nothing came out.
The fact that Taesan, who had a grasp on the essence of reconnaissance, couldn’t find it meant that there really wasn’t.
As the ghost said, there was a high possibility that the special conditions themselves had to be met.
but.
Something cannot be expressed in words, but something is here.
It was intuition and instinct. It was an intuition about the potential that Taesan, who had acquired numerous skills, had.
‘Witch’s realm.’
This place was said to be the realm of witches.
Then who is the witch?
being involved in the layer.
It must be the owner of Taesan’s arm guard.
If so, how strong is it?
Are witches who can make useful equipment even now, with the depths in front of them, really mortal?
[You activated Chaos and Darkness]
[You activated the King’s Bowl.]
[Huh?]
The ghost was taken aback when Taesan suddenly activated the skill. Taesan, who raised his level to the next level, looked around.
Nothing has changed.
It was still on the 65th floor, covered in plain vegetation.
Gather your will It becomes language and affects reality.
“Open.”
[You activated the cancellation declaration.]
Kuung!
space is divided
Places that were hidden in the cracks in the floors begin to show themselves.
[The mastery of reconnaissance has risen by 4%.]
[The mastery of grasping the essence has increased by 3%.]
[The mastery of the spirit has risen by 2%.]
[Ugh?]
“Is this a secret?”
Taesan clicked his tongue. It’s a place you can’t go to if you don’t have a commandment.
This was a secret no one could know except Taesan.
Layers begin to change. Bricks disappear and all kinds of vegetation fills the space.
It smells thick and deep.
At the same time, you can feel the power that surrounds the entire area.
Before long, Mount Tai lay in the middle of a deep, deep forest.
[You have arrived at the realm of the green witch.]
[You have identified the hidden elements of the 65th floor. Received the reward [???].]
Level up with skills.
