– Volume 12, Chapter 24
299. The Green Witch (4)
A week passed after that.
Considering the time the witch has lived so far, it is but a short time, but since the witch became immortal, she has been more faithful than ever. I tried to find clues on the way to the transcendental person by grasping the power of Taesan.
But the answer was seldom in sight.
The witch tousled her hair. I haven’t slept at all for the past week. Since he was an immortal, sleep was not important, so his hair was still soft and his skin was free of blemishes, but his expression contained fatigue that could not be hidden.
“I don’t know.”
she spat out.
Nothing happened this week.
I knew it wouldn’t be easy, but I didn’t know that the answer wouldn’t come this far.
‘The rise in spirit is the key.’
Both the gray light and the spirit of the word came from the elevation of the spiritual level. It was a power that mortals could not have.
Perhaps that is his complete strength, the only one in the world that only Taesan can have.
experience knowledge ideology values. It was an aggregation of everything the individual had built up.
But beyond that, I didn’t know.
It was impossible to find out any answer as to how, as a mortal, he had acquired such power or what was the process.
‘ how.’
she clenched her fists.
she was immortal
Even if he fell short of the transcendent, he was the one who surpassed mortals.
That’s why he had the confidence to analyze the power of the mortal Taesan.
I tried to find out all the conditions for the activation of Spiritual Elevation and what it means to rob. I tried to analyze exactly how the power of gray light works and draw out that power.
But it failed.
She couldn’t understand any of Taesan’s powers.
One thing I can tell is that the power is perfect.
It was one thing: pure and absolute power that no one could interfere with and no change.
‘…was there such a difference?’
Has the path to immortality and transcendence been so far that you cannot find the way even after looking at the answers?
The witch smiled bitterly.
I was devastated, but I wasn’t desperate
. Despair has been done countless times. She had come too far to collapse now.
I can’t find the answer now.
If so, how to find the answer?
Contemplating, she got up from her seat.
The witch approached Taesan, who was resting, and said.
“It is over now.”
“Did you find what you were looking for?”
“no. Couldn’t find it. But
I don’t think there’s any point in further analysis.”
The witch shook her head. comprehension itself is impossible. Even if you keep experimenting with Taesan, you won’t get anything.
“But the situation is much better than before.”
As a mortal, Taishan had powers beyond his comprehension as an immortal.
In other words, it meant that there was a difference between what Taesan had accumulated as a mortal and what the witch had accumulated as a mortal
.
The difference would have made the transcendent and the immortal.
So, the witch wanted to check it out.
“Then let’s make a deal. Oh hey.”
“A contract?”
“okay. A contract of gaze.”
The witch opened her mouth.
“You will go further down the labyrinth, right?”
Taesan nodded. His
goal was to conquer the Labyrinth. I had no intention of stopping.
“It is a contract for him. You go down the labyrinth. I will stand behind you and watch everything you see and experience in the Labyrinth.”
And the witch will confirm. difference between him and himself. what is there
“And when you realize the answer… let’s talk about it again. about the power you have. And the beginning of the road to the Transcendent.”
“Is this an extension of the quest?”
“okay. Right now I can’t analyze your strength.”
The witch raised her finger and pointed at Mount Tai.
“And you also don’t quite grasp the power you have.”
Taesan did not deny it.
The power of gray light that rises in spirit.
Taishan also did not know exactly where and how those two powers came from.
I thought an immortal witch could figure it out, but she also
seemed impossible.
“So let’s postpone it. When I can analyze more about your strength. And until you can understand the power you have.”
the witch asked quietly.
“Would you accept it?”
“If you wish.”
Taesan nodded.
Anyway, the gods were already watching his battles one by one. With so many beings already watching, nothing would change even if one more was added.
The witch smiled as if she was happy.
“Thank you. then sleep Let’s make a contract.”
The witch raised her wand. Her power overtook Taishan.
Taesan and the witch. A link between the two began to form.
[Contract of Gaze]
[The green witch can observe what you do with a contract with you.]
“I agree.”
Taesan accepted the contract.
At the same time, Taesan felt a strange sensation.
The feeling of someone watching from behind.
And Taesan had felt this sensation many times before.
‘Is it the eyes of the gods?’
The feeling of watching the transcendental people break through the labyrinth. It seemed that the gaze of the transcendentalists was the sensation he had felt until now but did not know the reason for.
“Then I guess I’ll have to compensate him now.”
The witch waves her wand. A huge torrent of power begins to dwell in Taesan.
[The expression of the green witch’s powers.]
[You have learned the magic of the green witch.]
The witch who granted the power stands out
.
“I don’t know who taught you this, but you have alchemy?”
“yes.”
The alchemy he had learned from the gremlin was still inside him. The witch laughed quietly.
“But you’re not handling it properly, are you?”
“It was tricky.”
It wasn’t useless. Thanks to alchemy on Earth, people were able to stop being sacrificed.
However, he had hardly ever used it in the Labyrinth. It was impossible to use in a labyrinth where immediate response was required as it took time to install the area.
“Good. My magic is similar to yours. It will be easy to understand.”
The witch clapped her hands. She raised her staff and pointed at Taesan’s wrist guards.
“Come here.”
The roots wrapped around Taesan’s forearm approach the creepy witch. The witch taps the root with her wand.
“Alchemy is the power to create a space that is advantageous to oneself by creating an area. However, it takes quite a bit of time to create a realm as you have to make a base with materials. So I changed my mind.”
Deuk Deuk.
The roots twist and change their color. It starts to take on a colorless light from dark red. All powers dwell in their roots.
“I mean in the form of giving the core itself that creates the area to a single weapon.”
[The arm guard with the intention of killing has changed to the wrist guard of world change.]
“This is magic I created. The place I walk is my territory, and my own magic encroaching on the world that becomes my world.”
The witch smiled and returned the wrist guard.
“Check it out.”
[Wrist guards for changing the world.]
[Watches created by direct power from
witches. By using specific conditions and catalysts, you have the power to change the laws of the world around the equipment.]
[Attack power + 50
[Defense power + 400]
[If you learn Green Witch’s magic, you can use [Partial World Change] There is.]
Attack and defense greatly increased.
In addition, a special skill called partial world change was attached.
“That arm guard is a catalyst to use my magic. The more I devour the mystical things, the more the effect increases and the more magic I can handle, so even if I go deeper than this, there will be no problem in using it.”
“thank you.”
Like a pair of rings, it looked like equipment that would be used until the labyrinth was cleared. It seemed to have good performance, so I had no complaints.
I don’t know what level it is, but it’s an immortal magic. will never be of less
value .
Taesan gratefully accepted.
“Then what are you going to do now?”
“Originally… I would have stayed here and tried to find the answer, but it’s different now.”
The witch sat down leisurely.
“For now, I’ll have to watch you go down the labyrinth. I will also have to visit many places. And if we find the answer… we will be able to trade with the wizard again.”
She smiled.
“Then you might be able to help me again then.”
The world started to drift away. The witch’s realm closed and they began to return to the labyrinth.
“See you later. He is a precious child.”
After those words, Taishan returned to the labyrinth.
Taesan started descending the labyrinth again.
The witch’s gaze was felt behind Taesan’s back.
One bystander that was not there was added. I thought I should accept it that way.
It wasn’t a bad experience from Taesan’s point of view either. He didn’t know about the power he had, but he learned new magic and, above all, learned more about how to deal with the spirit.
Perhaps because it is the only power that witches can understand, she gave various experiments and advice on the spirit of the spirit. The advice of an immortal who perfectly handles the spirit was very helpful to Taesan.
I still can’t handle gray light properly, but in the case of Eonlyeong, I was able to raise my proficiency quite a bit.
It is now at a level where it can be used meaningfully in battle with the guide.
Taesan opened the skill window. First, it was time to check exactly what the witch had given.
[Green Witch’s Magic]
[Proficiency: 1%]
[The Witch of the Cursed Forest accumulated her magic from her mortal days and perfected it as an immortal. By materializing one’s realm based on the weapon containing the catalyst, it affects the world.]
Materializing the realm. It was certainly similar to alchemy.
[Partial world change]
[Proficiency level: 1%]
[Continued mana consumption: ???]
[Can change the laws of the world in a certain range. It can be used in two types, attack and area, and it seems that only physical interference can be done so far
. Taishan descended the labyrinth.
[Starting the 66th floor quest]
[Defeat the shadows on the 66th floor and pass through them.]
[Reward: Potion to increase super attack power.]
[Secret reward: ???]
“…you. that.”
As usual, the shopkeeper waiting at the entrance frowned.
There was a wrist guard in his line of sight.
“Something has changed. you can’t.”
“I have met you.”
“what. were you in here?
when?”
“It seemed pretty old.”
If you think about the story with the giant of the lake, it has been over five hundred years.
“The strength felt in those wrist guards…
The store owner laughed.
“okay. Immortal. This
he asked with bloodshot eyes.
“Where is she?”
“It’s on the 65th floor… but I don’t know if you can get in.”
To visit the witch’s realm, you had to have a spirit. The shopkeeper didn’t seem to have that much power.
“I know that. I need to go ask something.”
he murmured. It seemed that the witch had something to wish for, but it was not important to Taesan.
Taishan passed the shopkeeper and made his way to the 66th floor.
The monster on the 66th floor showed up.
it was a shadow
A shadow with the same appearance as Taesan was waiting for Taesan.
Taesan took out his sword. Then, the shadow also took out a sword.
Taesan, who watched the scene, shook his sword violently. Dozens of afterimages were drawn in the air.
And the shadow also raised a sword.
Its posture was very similar to that of Taishan.
“Imitate?”
A monster that steals adventurers’ powers and imitates them.
[Shadow Eater appeared.]
[Shadow Eater. A monster that lives in the deep forest. Defeat the power of the one who came. Devour its body and pretend it’s real,]
said the ghost.
[Originally, it’s a monster that can be defeated if it’s a high-level warrior, but it seems the wizard has strengthened it considerably. To come out as a monster here.]
Taesan looked at the shadow in front of him. A monster that mimics Taishan. If so, how far will the imitation go?
fault.
Taesan kicked his feet.
Kagagakak!
wield the sword violently The shadow caught up with all those sword attacks.
round and round
wave the sword Activate shedding and twist the trajectory. Insert the sword as it is and activate the magic.
The shadows responded by moving to face each other.
However, the move was somehow delayed. It wasn’t a huge difference, but it wasn’t a small difference either. The shadow began to slowly recede.
‘A monster that mimics degraded movements.’
The opponent method is to move to the limit with strength and skill and press down. It might be quite difficult for other adventurers, but it wasn’t for Taesan.
The strategy was roughly understood. Then it was time to check out the newly acquired skills.
The description of the partial world change includes attack and area. It was stated that it could be written under two conditions.
First of all, as part of the attack.
[You
have activated a partial world change.]
Kagak.
With a scratching sound, the base of the wrist guard began to vibrate.
Kwagwagagagagang!
The uprooted roots swarmed the entire room.
It is literally the root of destruction. They crushed, smashed, and destroyed everything that stood in their way.
The shadow responded at first, but literally the first time. Unable to withstand the rushing roots in an instant, the tree was smashed to pieces.
“This…”
The power itself is superior to intermediate magic.
It didn’t seem as versatile as the magic of the God of Magic, but its power alone was superior to that.
But it wasn’t without its downsides.
Taesan opened the status window.
[Mana: 6130/6560]
Less than 10 seconds passed when the skill was used. But 400 mana
was used.
The power is obviously stronger than intermediate magic, but the mana consumption was also huge.
‘I won’t be able to use it for a long time.’
It looked like a momentary explosion or a trump card.
But still, being able to use this much power without any delay was a clear advantage. Considering that the reason black magic was so powerful, it could not be used properly was that it took time to open the passage, there were many uses.
And how to use it as a concept of area. Taesan took out the catalysts he brought from the witches’ realm and made a simple realm.
The area he creates is an area that blocks enemy access.
[You have activated Partial World Change.]
Kiyiing.
An achromatic area was formed around Mount Tai.
Taesan moved. Then the realm moved after him.
As the witch said, wrist guards were the standard for the realm.
Taesan crossed the room and met the next shadow.
Taesan approached the shadow. Shadow approaches Taesan to counter it, but is blocked by the area.
The shadow raises the sword and swings it.
Kaaang!
Although it has deteriorated, it does not break even if the shadow that took the stats of Taesan beats the area. It was a great defense.
Alchemy has been changed to be more convenient to use. With this level, he was able to deal with alchemy in a meaningful way even within the labyrinth.
In addition, handling it as an area did not consume much mana, so it was possible to use it continuously.
“Not bad.”
Verification is over.
Taesan turned off the area.
At the same time Taesan raised his sword, the shadow pulled out his sword. Taesan collided his sword and grasped the movement of the shadow.
‘Degraded movement.’
But still, there was enough of it. Literally, it seemed impossible to shake off the shadows unless you did your best.
In other words, if Taesan put his mind to it, he could fight for days and days.
‘Is it possible?’
Taesan regained many of the skills he had learned in his previous life.
Plus. negate the attack. absolute judgment. hold on, etc. Most of the core skills were acquired.
But among them, there were still a few skills that had not been obtained.
Most of them were skills that could not be obtained because the conditions themselves were not met. As they descended the labyrinth, they were waiting for the conditions to be met.
And that wasn’t all.
Barbabamba said that the labyrinth’s skill acquisition system is a system that creates skills when you achieve related achievements.
In other words, there must be a skill that can only be obtained here that was not obtained in the previous life.
Numerous skills that I tried to acquire in my previous life but couldn’t.
Taesan was thinking of getting it now.
Level up with skill
