[Special Quest Begins]
[Return to Earth.]
[In another week. You return to the land you forsaken. Come back after surviving there. Rewards are determined according to performance.]
[This quest cannot be denied.]
The Return to Earth quest begins.
Taesan calmly turned the window off.
When the community was opened, different reactions were seen. Players from Korea, China and Japan agreed and started preparing. It was because it was a normal return speed for those who quickly returned to the labyrinth.
But other countries are different.
[Oliver Kahn [Hard]: It’s too fast… Everything hasn’t been prepared yet]
[Daniel Darmont [Hard]: We’re not ready mentally yet either
. It’s a bit confusing.]
Other countries took quite a while to clear the earth’s quest. From their point of view, the return was so quick that they were taken aback.
But they eventually accepted and started preparing.
There was no player who panicked at this level of variable. All of them were veterans who went through prenatal battles.
They exchanged information with the community and prepared for their return one by one.
[Oliver Kahn [Hard]: If this happens, what will be the scope for this return? Is it a world unit?]
[Kang Tae-san [Alone]: It won’t be the world.]
[Amelia Aerin [Alone]: Oh.]
[Lee Tae-yeon [Alone]: Ah. It’s Mr. Taesan.]
At the same time as Taesan appeared, there was a moment of commotion. After the commotion subsided, Taesan posted again.
[Kang Tae-san [Alone]: It’s still too early to go to the world.]
[Oliver Kahn [Hard]: That’s right. If so, it must be an expansion this time too.]
Those who had already met other countries during their previous return could easily infer it.
[Kim Hwi-yeon [Hard]: Asia, Europe and Africa. And will it be divided into the Americas?]
[Daniel Darmont [Hard]: The possibility is
great. The problem is that I can’t properly communicate with other countries…]
They talked to each other. I tried to exchange information in any way possible by contacting other countries.
It seemed like it would take quite some time, so Taesan turned off the community and moved on.
“Oh come!”
Einzhar greeted Taesan with a smile.
“Is it Dalian again?”
Taesan nodded and drew out his sword. Einzhar also happily raised his weapon.
Taesan periodically visited Einzhar and asked for sparring. Since Levinenov’s seizures were not frequent, sparring was possible without any problems.
Every time Jorge complained that it was a nuisance, it wasn’t that important to Taesan.
Kagagak!
Sword and sword collide. Einzhar chuckled and lowered his sword.
Kagagagak!
Intense pressure weighs down Taesan. Taesan twists the sword and throws it away.
[Shedding skill increased by 1%.]
Einzhar was a monster.
Today’s Taesan was a strong force that could never be defeated.
And it was a way to get a lot out of fighting such a person.
The proficiency of several combat skills rose.
The proficiency of sensory tuning has become 20%. My sense of the surroundings has expanded, and
I can grasp a much wider range than before as if I could touch it.
The skill proficiency of buff skills such as Contempt for the Strong also increased, allowing a higher level of bonuses to be obtained.
He could not respond to Einzhar’s attack with swordsmanship alone, so he continued to deal with magic and black magic. The proficiency of numerous skills, including magic nesting and magic release, rose.
The magic and black magic newly obtained from the library of all things can also be handled much more proficiently.
[Intermediate magic: Bird of unquenchable flame.]
[Mana consumption: 40
[Proficiency level: 4%]
[Summons a phoenix, a bird of eternal flame, to attack enemies. The summoned phoenix is in a state where the main body’s power is limited.]
It was an intermediate flame type magic. Its basic power was similar to that of a frozen world , and it emitted terrifyingly strong heat .
It was a skill that could be usefully used under certain conditions.
[Intermediate magic: Forced exclusion.]
[Mana consumption: 50
[Proficiency level: 5%]
[Forcibly pushes opponents within a certain distance. This skill cannot be used for 10 minutes after use.]
It was so powerful that even Einzhar flinched. As there were no signs,
even Einzhar burst into admiration at the effect.
[Intermediate black magic: Garf’s solid megalith.]
[Mana consumption: 80
[Basic magic consumption: 350]
[Proficiency
level : 3%] It has a hardness that nothing can scratch, but it was considerably weakened in the process of being summoned.]
Literally, a large, hard stone was dropped at the opponent at high speed. It seemed simple, but as powerful as it was, there were many opportunities to use it.
[Intermediate black magic: The encroachment of Astaroth’s darkness.]
[Mana consumption: 400]
[Basic magic consumption: 300]
[Skill level: 3%]
[Summons the darkness scattered in Astaroth’s realm to cover one’s body.
Greatly reduces the power of most attacks.]
Dark magic for defense. Reduced damage by about half. Although the duration is short, there are no restrictions on the action, so it is useful in certain situations.
They were all useful skills. Originally, ramen should have been honed through many practical battles, but thanks to Einzhar, he raised his proficiency to the level that he could use in real combat.
And the most notable among them
was Airak weapon technology.
[Highest skill: Airlock weapon skill]
[Proficiency level: 60%]
[A skill that handles weapons and the body. It has become quite proficient, so there is no loss in power transmission, and it is possible to slightly change the values of attack power and defense power. You can handle even a weapon for the first time like your own limbs.]
As the proficiency of the Airlock weapon skill reached 60%, a part that said you could handle weapons like limbs was added.
When he took out the scythe obtained as a secret reward and tested it, he was able to respond to Einzhar’s attack to some extent. If this is the case, it can be used in practice.
“Are you already at 60%? It’s fast too.”
Einzhar chuckled and praised Mount Tai.
“If it’s you, maybe you can reach 100% someday. Are you satisfied?”
“To the extent that it overflows.”
Top-notch skill Airlock weapon skill that combines the attack power of all equipment.
It was one of the most valuable skills acquired in this life. Thanks to this skill, he was able to overcome all kinds of difficulties.
At the time, I was surprised how he had such a skill, but now I could see it. Airak weapon technology was perfected by Einzhar. If he was an immortal, it wouldn’t be that difficult to create this level of skill.
After the sparring, Taesan talked to Einzhar. He said he had to return to Earth in a week and could be away for quite a while.
In the process, they also talked about the descent of the gods to Earth. Einzhar made a surprised expression.
“That is amazing. A deal between the gods and the old gods? It’s a very rare thing.”
“Is that so?”
“Because they are basically completely opposite beings. They instinctively hate each other. The fact that they made a deal… must mean that the value is there.”
Einzhar looked at Mount Tai.
“And it must be because of you.”
Taesan did not deny it. I was feeling that again.
Einzhar fiddled with the hilt of his sword.
“I am very grateful to you. Because of you, I can hope for the hope that I believed impossible. But that much… I have so many questions.”
There was only one thing in Einzhar’s eyes looking at Mount Tai. It was a question.
“What is that power?” While talking
about the reason why he had the power of a god,
he also explained about the rise in spirit. Einzhar is one of the strongest among immortals. It was the belief that he would know something.
However, Einzhar was also unable to explain the rise in spirituality.
“I have traveled all over the world to find the Goddess. Literally found hundreds and thousands of worlds in space. In the process, I saw many abilities, but none of them have the same power as you.”
The power of Goshin cannot be possessed by beings within the law. It was because it was a force
beyond the law .
The rise in spirituality robbed the old god of power.
Mixing it with divinity to bring out new power. You can even control it.
Taesan, who was not yet a proper immortal, was doing something that was impossible even for the gods, who could be called the apex of the universe.
“Even with such power, how come you haven’t transcended yet? Why are you still imprisoned in the walls of your body?”
Einzhar continued to ask questions. Rather than hoping for an answer, it was a question to reflect on oneself.
“Taesan.”
Einzhar quietly looked at Mount Tai.
“What kind of realm have you reached?”
After talking with Einzhar, Taesan went around the library of all things. There was still a week left, so I had no intention of wasting it.
“Did you find everything you were looking for?”
He discovered a total of twenty-five secret rooms. It was exactly the same number as the secret room Lee Taeyeon found. Several attempts were made to find the secret room that she could not find, but there was no particular harvest.
Taesan had no other way as he had to rely only on time and intuition, which he could not solve with his own ability
.
I asked Jorge if I couldn’t get the secret reward that can only be obtained by understanding all the floors if I couldn’t find all the secret rooms.
“It can be obtained even if you find only one secret room. It’s strange to find several like you in the first place.”
Jorge said with a tired face, “What are you going to do after finding twenty-five of them?” In fact, the ghost didn’t even know there was a secret room here, so it wasn’t strange.
Secret rewards can also be obtained without problems. There was no reason to invest time to find more secret rooms.
But Taesan got caught somewhere.
His senses were telling him that something important still remained. Taesan continued to examine the bookshelves.
As it was a simple labor that required time investment, I was mentally relaxed. Taesan remembered what Einzhar had said at the end.
‘Gyeongjira.’
Taesan also knew that he was strange.
He was dealing with the power of the old gods that the gods could not handle. I felt a mental burden there, but I didn’t get corrupted like a goddess.
The spiritual rise has even stolen the power of immortals.
But he was mortal. He became strong and became an immortal, albeit to a limited extent, but everything he did was what he did as a mortal.
where have you reached
That, too, was a question.
Taesan recalled the memories of the mortal days of the gods he had obtained from the library of all things.
As a mortal, Baltazar, the god of victory, has constantly risked his life.
Archery for elves, strength for giants, crafting for dwarves, and resourcefulness for humans.
He bet on all living beings in the world.
What he bet on was always his own life.
And in all those matches,
he has won without a single loss by using all kinds of methods.
After winning all living things, Baltazar became the god of victory.
Rakiratas, the god of strife and death, was born in a world of eternal war.
He has always had death by his side and has been fighting for survival.
Having crossed countless lines of death and gaining mighty power, he ended the eternal war.
Peace came to the world when struggle and death ended.
And Rakiratas waged war again in the world that had regained peace by itself.
After giving the world eternal struggle and death, he became the god of struggle and death.
Other gods were not much different either.
They all went crazy for one thing and gave their all, and in the end, they got their own territory.
The only exception was
Lucifer, a demon created by demons to drive out the old demons.
If so, what are you crazy about?
The answer did not come easily.
Taesan continued thinking and found the secret room.
As a result, I was able to find what I was looking for.
Clap! It was
a
bookshelf full of magic books. As he took out several books, the
chapters themselves moved.
[I found it again… You are amazing too.]
The ghost stuck out his tongue.
Taesan held out her hand toward the aisle.
As the wave spread out softly, I could feel the gaze toward Mount Tae.
After reading the energy inside, Tae San was able to figure out who the owner of this place was.
‘Zervand, the god of magic.’
[The secret room of the God of Magic.]
[You cannot enter unless God permits it.]
Zervand quietly looked at Mount Tai.
The power of the aisle disappeared with a small laugh.
Taesan went inside.
In the vast room, only small books were floating in the air.
Taesan grabbed the book.
There were no great expectations.
I thought I would get another intermediate magic.
However, the system window that appeared surprised him.
[You have obtained advanced magic. The magic book of the great collapse.]
Level up with skills.
