305. The Fifth Return to Earth (1)
Taesan looked at the bracelet.
A blood-red bracelet. It must be because the blood of the King of Giants was used as an ingredient. I could feel the power within him.
strong.
It is not at the level of ego like a ring, but it has unshakable power as if it will always move according to the will of its owner.
[Bracelet of Despair that contains part of the world]
[Strength + 500]
[Agility + 500]
[Intelligence + 500]
[Attack Power + 500]
[Defense + 500]
[A world destroyed by the flesh and blood of the Giant King The shape of the bracelet was created by drawing out the power contained in the many materials of . What is contained within is part of the world itself.]
[The special activation skill [Destructive Greed] can be activated.]
The corners of Taesan’s mouth went up.
First of all, the stats and attack power were satisfactory. Of course, it was lower than the ring, but it was still satisfactory enough.
There is a special activation skill. That would be the core of this bracelet. Taesan opened the skill window to check.
[Special activation skill: Greed of destruction]
[Mana consumption: 40]
[User’s will synchronizes with the power contained in the bracelet to swallow and eliminate the opponent’s will-filled attack. user’s will. Or an attack that exceeds the power of the bracelet cannot be swallowed.] After
interpreting the explanation, Taesan looked at Hafran.
“A defensive skill?”
What Taesan wanted was offensive equipment that could be handled with will.
Hafran raised his hand at Taesan’s gaze.
“I want you to make an excuse.”
“say it.”
“At first, as you requested, I also tried to make offensive equipment. I conceived a form of controlling the space by handling the blood of the giant king.”
What Taesan expected was similar. The blood of the giant king was a mighty power in itself. If you strengthen it and deal with it, you will have great power.
“But as I used each ingredient,
the damn bracelet started to reject my touch. Blood kept spurting out and trying to pierce my limbs.”
Hafran raised his arm. There were marks on his sturdy forearms that looked like they were tightened by small threads.
“I couldn’t create an offensive type of equipment with my skills.”
Hafran said in a dissatisfied voice.
When you think about it, it wasn’t that strange. Hafran can’t handle will. It was natural that there were restrictions on making
equipment that he could handle with his will .
“So I completely changed my approach. To have the power of defense, not attack. When I did that, they no longer tried to attack me.”
“Is that why it happened like this?”
“okay. I’m sorry.”
“It doesn’t really matter.”
Taesan asked for it to be made for offense in order to overwhelm the opponent more quickly, but either way I don’t care too much.
What mattered was the performance of the equipment.
[You are the spirit king of the wind. Minerva was summoned.]
“Oops. master! long time no see!”
“How’s that?”
“I am looking for some peace of mind. My sweet children are working hard.”
Minerva smiled and said. world of spirits and humans. Arulia. It seemed that the void and confusion created by the birth of a new spirit king were gradually being sorted out.
Taesan said to Minerva.
“Attack me.”
“…Why all of a sudden?”
“I have something to experiment with.”
Taesan waved her bracelet at Minerva, who was staring at her. Minerva, who soon grasped the situation, nodded.
“ah. that. I was surprised that you suddenly attacked me. At what level?”
“With power.”
“okay!”
cooong!
“sleep!”
Hafran panicked and tried to stop, but it was too late. A gust of wind battered his studio. Tools hung on the wall flew away with a bang.
Minerva grinned.
“Take it!”
Kuung
wind is shot at Tae-san.
Minerva’s strength is almost equal to Taesan. In other words, this attack was similar to Taishan’s power.
Taesan
focused his will on the blowing wind.
[You activated Greed of Destruction.]
The crimson light of the Warak Bracelet shone.
keying!
It rises with red power and swallows the wind. The wind roars and resists, but the red power ravenously consumes it all.
the wind blows slowly
Minerva’s eyes widened.
“…Has my power gone at all?”
I knew Taesan would block it
. Even if I couldn’t block it, I thought there would be no damage because I knew the existence of the attack nullification.
However, the power Taesan showed her now was different from what she expected.
Taesan did not block her powers, but literally devoured them. That, too, was a word without any consumption of strength.
“Is it like this?”
Taesan waved her bracelet. The crimson color of the bracelet was slightly less than before.
Even though he blocked Minerva’s power,
he hardly had a headache. If he had tried to erase it purely by willpower without a bracelet, it would have consumed a considerable amount of mental strength.
However, the power felt in the bracelet was significantly reduced, probably because the bracelet consumed that much power.
It is recovering little by little, but not very quickly.
You can completely erase your opponent’s attacks. However, the power of the bracelet is consumed that much, and once it is consumed, you cannot activate Swallow of Despair until it is restored.
Taesan nodded.
“Good.”
Blocking Minerva’s power meant that the attacks of the leaders could also be sufficiently blocked. It was a piece of equipment that could target an opening by erasing an attack at a critical moment.
“This is enough even if you’re not an offensive type.”
I had to throw away the newly acquired bracelet right away, but the performance was worth it.
“That’s good. Next time, I would like to speak in advance and experiment.”
“sorry.”
Hafran grumbled and returned the flying tools to their place. As if Minerva was curious, she looked around Taesan.
“master. What kind of power did you gain while I couldn’t see you for a while? It feels strange.”
“Eon-ryeong.”
“…the age?”
Minerva hesitated. Taesan handed the whetstone to Ha Pran.
“Can you use this too?”
sharpening stone. It is a secret reward for the 60th floor. It was an item that would definitely increase attack power.
Hafran’s eyes lit up as he received the whetstone
.
“This is good. Is there a weapon you want?”
“here.”
Taesan handed over Carvert’s artifact.
He was still using the sword he had obtained from the entrance of the labyrinth that the ghost had used in his lifetime. Although there are many special effects attached,
the time has come to increase pure attack power.
Hafran, who received Carvert’s relic, looked at the ghost.
“That bastard’s sword.”
[Right?]
“Wait a minute.”
Hafran began sharpening his sword with a whetstone. During that time, Taesan further checked the exact effect and power of the bracelet.
Thirty minutes later, Hafran handed over Carvert’s artifact.
It’s done.”
“Is it fast?”
“There is no reason for it to take a long time, as it is simply sharpening the blade, not combining and creating a new one by drawing out the strength of the ingredients.”
Hafran said sullenly. Tae San confirmed the changed attack power.
[Carvert’s Relic: A sword steeped in the blood of ancestors]
[A relic of a world that has now been destroyed. It took the lives of countless members of the royal family.]
[Attack power + 300]
[Attack power + 150 when dealing with all enemies
]
“Huh?”
Attack power rose more than expected. Hafran said.
“With the passage of time, the power of the equipment itself has deteriorated, and the blacksmith who originally made it couldn’t use the materials properly, but it’s still a good sword. Thanks to that, much better performance came out.”
[That’s natural. Whose sword was it?”
The Ghost boasted. Taesan was satisfied and drew the sword.
Taesan waved his hand.
“See you later.”
“Bring those ingredients next time too. It’s hard, but it’s rewarding.”
Hafran smiled and saw him off.
All preparations are now complete. Taishan waited quietly.
[You are the highest level spirit of various colors. Summoned Barkaza.]
Summoned Barcaza as well. Minerva
asked as if she would know then.
“Are you going back to the master’s world again?”
Taesan nodded. Minerva murmured with interest in her eyes.
“Another confrontation with the Gods…
Cheak.
space is divided
Taesan put her body into it.
And what I saw was a huge hole in the sky.
It was a devastated Earth, as always.
A calm voice echoed from all directions. Among them was a familiar voice.
“Gather everyone! I’ll organize the staff!”
The fifth return has begun.
Taesan walked in the direction where the voice was heard.
“Representatives of each mode! Please list the number of people and tell me!”
Kim Hwi-yeon was shouting hard. Taesan approached her.
“ah. Mr. Taesan.”
“Are people okay?”
“What is the fifth? Now is the time to get used to it.”
People calmly followed Kim Hwi-yeon’s words. There was no more despair or depression.
Hwiyeon Kim said quietly.
“You don’t know how the quest will progress this time, so you have to prepare in advance.”
Taesan nodded and spoke to Minerva and Barkaza.
“Clean up all the monsters approaching.”
[According to the owner’s will.]
“Okay. master.”
Minerva and Barcaza throw themselves. Suddenly, a roar erupts all around.
Taesan looked at the crack in the sky.
From there monsters descended to the ground.
Perhaps it was because he had obtained the Eonyeong,
he could feel the power of the rift more clearly.
Taesan smiled.
‘That’s ridiculous.’
that’s why i knew That the power contained in that rift easily surpassed mortal power.
That the rift itself is a monster.
‘It’s still a long way.’
However, I was able to know the identity of the rift that I had not known at all in my previous life.
They were getting closer and closer to their power. Taesan went to Lee Taeyeon and Kang Junhyeok.
After some sparring with the two, Kim Hwi-yeon, who had finished cleaning up, came to visit.
“A total of 40,000 people. 3,800 hardmode players survived.”
“How many were there after the last return?”
“Forty-six thousand. It was about 4,000 hardmodes.”
“The damage is small.”
“Because everyone has a base.”
Hwiyeon Kim said proudly. After investing a lot of time, they were safely descending the labyrinth. Few died, unless they were overconfident in their talents or were careless.
Taesan asked.
“What floor are you on? now.”
“The second half of the 40th floor. We’ve almost reached the 50th floor.”
“Is it there?”
Late 40th floor.
Taesan said to Kim Hwiyeon.
“be careful.”
“yes?”
“In Alone Mode, the difficulty of the labyrinth changes starting from the base layer. There could be enough places like that in hard mode.”
“Ah…
don’t be vigilant just because it’s going down stably. At those words, Kim Hwi-yeon nodded with a hard face.
” yes.”
It wasn’t something I said for nothing. In Taishan’s memory, the hard mode was also
changed starting from the base layer. From there, a clear wall was formed between those who progressed and those who could not.
Still, if you’re a Kim Hwi-yeon or a hard mode player in Korea, there shouldn’t be a problem. They have already overcome the attack of the Gods on Earth.
However, other places other than Korea will have a lot of trouble. As the interference of the old gods on other countries decreased, there could be countries that suffered more than in the previous life.
tidying up is over
And the system window appeared.
