Leveling Up with Skills Chapter 376

– Volume 16, Chapter 1

376. 78th floor, the library of all things ⑴

“Whoa.”

The Lion King exhales.

His whole body was crushed.

The energy that was spread with all its might was barely protecting the body, but the uneasy swaying figure seemed to break at any moment.

The Lion King looked up.

Black spheres were floating like stars in the endless gray space

.

The Lion King gritted his teeth and moved forward.

Kuguguk.

Intense pressure overwhelms him. The space itself is distorted and tries to twist his whole body.

“Keugh!”

The Lion King unleashed his power. It was the power of those who reached the edge of mortality.

But it meant nothing.

Like a drop of water dropped into the sea,

only very small ripples spread and then disappeared, but the gray space was unmatched silence.

The Lion King stepped forward with a hard face.

I robbed all the gold I had to protect my body with equipment that prioritized defense, but it was destroyed one by one. After barely guarding the collapsing body, they arrived in front of a huge black sphere.

“…great one!”

The Lion King sat down and shouted. “

O ruler who hates all laws that wish the collapse of all things !

This lowly body! I call you from your realm!”

With a cry, the Lion King takes out countless jewels from his chest and throws them.

The jewels are swallowed up by the giant sphere and disappear.

The Lion King bowed his head to the earth. I didn’t know what would happen from here. He swallowed dry saliva and waited quietly.

kugung.

The sphere shakes.

Intense pressure

suppressed the lion king’s whole body. The Lion King barely endured the torrent that seemed to melt his mind.

The torrent slowly subsides.

And it descends here.

[Something lowly.]

An annoyed voice rang out. The space shakes only with the wavelength contained in the voice.

[I will praise you for trying to crawl into my territory. But how dare you call me?]

The Lion King’s whole body began to collapse. His resistance and strength were meaningless. There was that much of a gap between the two

.

The Lion King did not move and continued to bow his head.

Then, the power that oppressed him subsided little by little.

[Answer me. For what purpose did you crawl into my realm?]

The first step was passed.

The Lion King suppressed his beating heart and said.

“Great Transcendental One. I have a suggestion for you.”

As soon as that answer was over, an

incomparable power attacked the Lion King.

The Lion King’s consciousness was cut off in an instant.

[How dare someone like you propose to me?]

There was only one emotion in that voice. anger.

The Lion King opened his trembling mouth.

“Don’t you want to distort the plans of the other gods?”

At those words, the power that had trampled on the Lion King instantly disappeared.

The Lion King didn’t even have time to catch his breath

before continuing.

“An adventurer is going down the labyrinth. He has very strong power. Many gods favor him and want to make him their own when he dies.”

This is your chance. The Lion King did not stop talking.

“Probably, if there are no major problems, he will clear the labyrinth. The other gods will see it and be delighted and satisfied. You will think that creating a place called a labyrinth is worthwhile.”

The Lion King widened his eyes.

“Don’t you want to break that expectation? Wouldn’t you like to make their expectations and beliefs meaningless and trample their confident actions?”

The voice was quiet. The Lion King waited.

After a while, a voice rang out.

[That would be a lot of fun

. ]

The Lion King clenched his fists.

“I will assist you in your will

. I will become your instrument and act on your behalf.”

[Why do I have to deal with your little things?]

“Because you can’t directly intervene with adventurers.”

One law that entangles the god of the labyrinth. You cannot directly interfere with the adventurers of the labyrinth. This was the reason why many gods didn’t touch the guide of sin even though they didn’t like it.

But it was not limited to the guides of sin.

There are many gods in the labyrinth.

And neither good nor evil has meaning to God. They move based on their own territory.

There were certainly gods who didn’t like Mount Tai.

[So?]

The sharp voice subsided.

[I can’t touch it, so accept all four?]

“No. This is just begging for mercy.”

The Lion King quietly bowed down.

I could feel his eyes on him.

The Lion King closed his eyes. The result is already out of his hands. I was just repeating a prayer I didn’t know to whom.

[Good.]

The Lion King = has risen.

[Seeing your modest efforts, I will allow you. But it won’t be what you want. No regrets. A mortal.]

Power attacked the Lion King.

* * *

Barbabamba makes an appearance. He looked at Mount Tai without a word and then said without hesitation.

[My head hurts.]

said Barbabamba wearily.

[You really make my head hurt.]

“What’s wrong?”

[There is nothing wrong. Clearing is no problem. It was the most perfect among

all the adventurers who cleared the nth floor .]

77th floor. A quest to stabilize a world that is being destroyed by the Gods.

Most adventurers solved it only with violence and brute force. It was only necessary for the survivors of the planet to live somehow, so there were many cases where only the minimum was met and cleared.

On the other hand, Taesan completed the quest perfectly. I hadn’t imagined that even Balba Bamba would be able to solve it this far.

It was on the other side that he had a headache.

[It’s just that I’ve reached a limited level. The one who couldn’t even step on the 80th floor.]

“Did you know?”

[I am the manager. I know most of what happens here.]

Balbabamba said in a troubled tone.

[It’s not like there isn’t anything at all. It is often the case that a person reaches a realm through a contract with a god. But… it’s the first time I’ve reached it with my own strength…]

Concerned, Barbabamba shook her head

.

[The wizard will take care of it. I won’t mind.]

It’s beyond your scope.

Barbabamba gave up. From now on, he intended to leave all issues related to Mount Tae to the wizard. I was sure it was the least painful choice.

[Then it’s a reward now.]

This was also a problem.

Taesan cleared it perfectly. It’s more than he expected.

So, I had to give him a decent reward.

But now Taishan has reached a limited level. Even modest compensation could not satisfy Taesan.

After thinking about it, Barbabamba made a decision.

[At times like this, it would be better to keep things simple.]

Power dwells in Taesan.

[You have obtained the title [Savior of the World].]

[You have obtained the ring of the one who saved the world

.]

[Your level has risen.] [Your level has risen

.]

[Your level has risen. I did.]

[Check the reward yourself.]

Barbababamba’s body begins to collapse. He said before leaving.

[Now you are unstable. If you reach the perfect state, the wizard will come to you.]

“Okay.”

After that, Balba Bamba disappeared.

Taesan confirmed the reward.

[Title: Savior of the world]

[Title given to those who perfectly saved the world.]

[Stamina + 2000]

[Mana + 500] [

Magic + 200] [

Attack power + 20 [

Defense power + 200]

Taesan is Barbaba Bambaga I realized what I meant by being

simple .

Literally, it was a title that only greatly increased one’s abilities.

“It’s fine.”

Titles, unlike equipment, demonstrate their performance just by having them. With this level of performance, it was not lacking even compared to one of the equipment in the depths.

[Ring of the one who saved the world]

[Reward given to those who restored the world on the brink of destruction.]

[Mana + 50

[Magic + 10]

[Attack power + 300]

All the stats that are helpful to Taesan are attached. It was a great performance.

The bloody hammer, the basic clear reward, was a weapon that was not used, so I was thinking of selling it to the store.

and skills.

[Special Divine Skill: Create Holy Land]

[Proficiency: 1%]

[Consumed Divinity: ???]

[Creates a holy ground by materializing one’s own divinity. Depending on the divinity consumed and the way it is implemented, the size and characteristics of the holy ground change.] It was the

first divinity skill he acquired.

Rather than a labyrinth, it was a skill that would be useful on Earth. It was optimal for use on a devastated earth.

It was also possible to continue to maintain faith as long as the faith was not cut off at the cost of people’s faith .

Monsters of a lower level will not even be able to approach the Holy Land.

And a transcendence skill like black.

[Transcendence Skill: Eternal Faith]

[Proficiency: 1%]

[Consumption: Faith and Gye.]

[You receive faith from all life in a world. They will send you unshakable faith forever. You can obtain complete divinity by consuming

their faith and their own rank.]

“Hmm.”

The effect of the skill was guessed to some extent.

[You have activated the eternal belief.]

At that moment, Taesan’s inner world expands.

The faith of those who worship him beyond space permeates him. At the same time that a strong load is applied, the body and mind reach a higher level.

The sense of omnipotence he felt in the world on the verge of destruction dominates his whole body.

[Oh.]

The ghost exclaimed involuntarily.

The current Taishan was beyond mortal.

[Is it true…]

“No.”

Taesan canceled the skill. The sense of omnipotence disappeared and energy took its place.

“Not quite yet.”

Certainly, it was true that he could temporarily transcend mortality.

However, its duration and stability were problems. Considering the strain it took, it was difficult to last even a few minutes.

And faith was being consumed so fast that it was abnormal. The number of people who believed in him was less than 100,000. There was a possibility that the holy ground maintained by faith would collapse if it was used forcibly.

“…Are you saying it’s a realm that’s limited to that world?”

In a way, it was natural.

In a world on the verge of destruction, he received everyone’s faith and became a god. It was a state reached by expedient methods.

In other words, it meant that the power as a god could only be used in a world on the brink of destruction.

It seemed like a big burden to use such power in another place.

[Still, it makes no sense. Certainly transcends mortality, albeit temporarily. Do you know what that means?]

the ghost said in a slightly excited tone

.

[This means that the opponent cannot defeat you unless they surpass mortality.]

It is different from before.

Even those who set foot on the boundary line can never defeat Taesan. It was an unchanging fact.

“But it is still an unstable force. But…

the upcoming Earth Return Quest.

Players in China, Japan and Korea were already worshiping Mount Tai. What would happen

if people from other countries

came to worship Mount Tai?

After the story of Mount Tai spread widely through the community, the name of Mount Tai was also going up and down in other countries.

Many people died while fighting monsters or descending the labyrinth, but the number of surviving players was far greater than the world before destruction.

If you get faith from them. So, if you can receive the faith of many people on Earth and gain qualifications.

It was also possible to stably maintain the effect of the skill. Perhaps the proficiency of the divine power was also sufficient to achieve 100%.

A future return was expected.

Taesan headed to the 78th floor. The quest window blocked his view.

[Starting the 78th floor quest.]

[Successfully complete the librarian’s request in the Library of All Things.]

[Reward: Book of Knowledge.]

[Secret reward: ???]
