406 (Side Story). Lee Taeyeon on the 58th floor
[Start the quest on the 58th floor.]
[Defeat the boss on the 58th floor and pass.]
[Reward: A sword that protects the line of fire.]
[Secret reward: ???]
“The 58th floor… what was this? la?”
Taeyeon tilted her head.
With Maria’s help, she
has regained her memories of her previous life. However, as I acquired conflicting memories, most of the things I thought insignificant in my previous life became less memorable.
The 58th floor was the same. I could only get a rough image of the floor, but I couldn’t remember which monsters appeared.
“You’ll find out when you go in.”
she went down the stairs
The store owner was waiting there.
“Here you are.”
“hello?”
Taeyeon smiled and waved her hand. The shopkeeper looked at her with an ambiguous gaze.
“It’s already the 58th floor.”
“yes. Is it fast?”
“okay. fast Too fast, too fast.”
The shop owner looked at Lee Taeyeon with suspicious eyes.
“What did you do outside and come back?”
“Something like that happened
.”
Lee Tae-yeon looked around moderately. Due to Maria’s restrictions, she couldn’t tell others about her memories, and the store owner didn’t have a good relationship with her.
The shop owner looked at Lee Tae-yeon for a moment, then looked away.
“If it were you… I think it might be possible.”
The shop owner muttered as if pondering for a moment, then changed his expression.
“What are you going to buy?”
“no? Gold is not enough right now
.”
She shook her head. The store owner sorted things out.
“If you have Hongmi, come find me. I’ll show you something useful.”
“Ah yes.”
Lee Taeyeon gave a hesitant reply and walked past the shop owner.
She found it very awkward to see such a store owner.
The shopkeeper despised her in both past and present life. Mocked her and laughed at her heart.
It was no different when she reached the 100th floor. You didn’t show interest in her, saying that you were a rat and that you were lucky to have arrived by parasitizing the system.
But now it was different.
As she recovered her memories of her past life and descended the labyrinth at high speed, her attitude began to deteriorate little by little.
It was the first time the shop owner did that.
“How amazing.”
She muttered and took a step.
Tension and anxiety cling to her little by little. I was always most nervous the first time I set foot on a new floor.
profit.
She opened the door and the monster on the 58th floor responded to her.
[A golden deer appeared.]
A deer with golden horns.
The moment I saw the monster, a memory came to mind.
“aha? Was this the place?”
The deer howled and charged at her
. Lee Taeyeon took a small breath and drew out her sword.
Kaaang!
The sword and the golden horn collide.
Lee Tae-yeon did not back down. Twisting the trajectory of the sword, he cut the deer’s side long.
Lee Tae-yeon waved her hand at the deer that howled in pain. The middle-level spirit who contracted with her attacked the deer according to the owner’s will.
[You activated Shedding.]
Kagagagak!
Break through the spirit’s attack and shed the deer that rushes at you.
Quickly lower your stance and fly your body.
[You have activated Stealth.]
[You have activated Shadow of the Earth.]
Taeyeon’s body instantly turns into a shadow.
When the deer couldn’t find Lee Tae-yeon and panicked, Lee Tae-yeon lightly pierced the deer’s neck.
The deer trembled in pain. The deer
shook its head wildly and pushed Lee Taeyeon away, then charged again.
After a few minutes of fighting, the deer fell.
“After”
Lee Taeyeon caught her breath. There was not a single wound on her body.
Tidying up her tousled hair, she went on to attack the labyrinth again.
There was no hesitation in her steps.
Deer continued to appear, but he was easily knocked down without suffering a single wound. She murmured, having just knocked down the seventh deer.
“I never dreamed that I would break through the labyrinth in this way.”
In her previous life, she was a coward.
Cleared the labyrinth with an expedient method rather than a head-to-head match.
The 58th floor was the same. I can’t remember exactly, but
I probably managed to hunt one or two of them and figured out a way to escape the rest somehow. and it would have been successful
She thought that was all she had. I thought that only beings like Taesan were capable of fighting head-on and descending the labyrinth like this.
As time went on, so many things changed.
Continuing, she moved to the next room.
After defeating seven of them, the pattern gradually became adapted. While fighting,
I had enough time to think about other things.
‘Mt. Tai must be over the 80th floor now, right?’
The depth where Taishan descends will be very different from the depth she remembers. Taishan has already surpassed mortality. There was a high possibility that the wizard who created the labyrinth intervened in some way.
“In-depth… is it?”
that hellish place.
Just thinking about it gave me goosebumps all over my body. The place was rejected.
But she
suppressed her instincts with her will.
Kagak!
With a swing of his sword, he deflected the deer’s antlers and stabbed him deep into his chest. The deer trembled and collapsed.
She organized her thoughts.
Depth is a very difficult and tricky place, so I had to thoroughly prepare in advance.
She is definitely stronger now than she was in her previous life.
However, there were definitely skills that could not be obtained because of that.
“You can get the invisible shadow by raising your skill level… You can get the hidden story that no one knows about around the middle of the 70th floor. Is it hard to get the breath of a hiding mouse?”
The breathing of the hidden mouse was a skill obtained by building up step by step from the beginning of the labyrinth. There was a high possibility that he would not be able to obtain it easily now, walking on a completely different path from his previous life.
The breathing of the hidden mouse was one of her most effective skills.
Not being able to get it
was obviously a huge loss.
But her heart was not shaken.
The breathing of the hidden mouse was obviously an excellent skill, but it was also a skill that revealed her weakness.
Now she is stronger than that. There was no reason to be sorry now. She definitely acquired a skill that was more than enough to replace the old one.
Clearing the floor quickly, she reached the boss on the 58th floor.
A deer with a bigger belly and brighter horns.
Lee Tae-yeon swung her sword at the deer rushing to stab it.
[You activated Blitz.]
Kaaang!
assault. Originally, it was a skill that would disappear with one attack, but now with the ability sword, it could be activated continuously if the timing was right.
Ability Sword Using the power of the black magic spirit, she pressured the boss mercilessly. Tens of minutes later, she also suffered considerable damage, but defeated the boss.
[Cleared the 58th floor.]
[Your level has risen.]
[It has reached the best condition.]
“Whoa.”
Taeyeon let out a sigh of relief and sat down. After calculating the time, she smiled.
It took less than a day to clear the 58th floor.
Now she is definitely stronger.
“What was the 59th floor like…
I was taking a break while organizing my thoughts when someone came upstairs from downstairs.
Lee Tae-yeon checked the stairs without being shaken.
Those who have ascended are guides to sin. He was a 5th tier adventurer. she waved her hand.
“hi?”
The guide who saw her clicked his tongue.
“…You’re a coward.”
The guide’s gaze at her was contemptuous.
“I don’t know why a woman like you got the permission of the top officials, but
don’t set it up. You are but a worm.”
What you see is jealousy and contempt.
It was an unusual feeling.
Even in her previous life, the gaze of the guides toward her was not very different from now. The leaders acknowledged her talent and allowed her to enter the depths, but other guides in the hierarchy did not accept that fact.
In their eyes, Lee Tae-yeon was nothing but a coward.
He was like a worm who
attacked the labyrinth with expedient methods and couldn’t get what he should have gotten as an adventurer .
That’s why they despised and were jealous of Lee Tae-yeon.
It wasn’t much different in the present life. The current self descended the labyrinth more normally than in the previous life, but there was still a fear that could not be hidden.
“Ugh”
“6. “o’.
Lee Tae-yeon answered the public and leaned her back against the wall. The guide’s face twisted as if he didn’t like her nonchalant attitude.
“…I guess I’ll have to correct my manners.”
The guide pulled out an ax.
He leaned over to her and spoke sharply.
“Put your head on.”
Lee Tae-yeon looked at the guide blankly. The guide spoke confidently.
“I am an adventurer on a higher level than you. You’ve reached the 60th floor. It is a law that guides must obey the guides of a high hierarchy. You are allowed to go deeper, but right now
I am deeper.”
A command close to rant.
Lee Tae-yeon felt a sense of superiority in the guide’s gaze.
‘ ah.’
she remembered.
The guide in front of her was the one who had bullied and ridiculed her in her previous life.
How would she have behaved in her previous life?
There was nothing to worry about. I would have hit my head right away.
Pride doesn’t help anything
. The only thing that matters is survival. For that, she was willing to bend her pride.
but.
She smiled and stood up.
“no.”
“…what?”
The guide’s eyebrows twitched as if he hadn’t expected Lee Tae-yeon to reject him. Lee Taeyeon said languidly.
“Why do I have to hit you in the head? isn’t it the other way around? I am an adventurer who has been recognized by the top leaders. It is different from the likes of you from birth.”
“…You bastard!”
The guide roughly raised an axe. At that moment, Taeyeon’s body moved.
He grabbed his sword and rushed at the guide at high speed.
“laugh!”
The guide hurriedly lowered the axe. Lee Taeyeon moved her sword very leisurely. The smooth movement of the sword blew the ax far away.
” ah.”
Lee Tae-yeon’s sword was thrust into the guide’s head.
The guide immediately sensed death.
Peeing!
The sword grazed the guide’s cheek.
Lee Taeyeon tapped the frozen guide on the shoulder.
“I heard that bugs have been flying around the side of my head since earlier. I hate bugs. sorry.”
“This…
the guide hesitated. Blood flowed from the cheek where the sword had passed.
I reached the 60th floor. Even though he was in a deeper place than Lee Taeyeon now, he could not respond to her movements at all.
“…go away.”
Eventually, the guide swallowed.
There were no bugs in the labyrinth, but he didn’t say anything and went down the labyrinth roughly again.
Lee Tae-yeon, who looked at his back for a while, sat down on the floor as his presence disappeared.
“Whoa!”
she let out a breath The relaxed face he had until just now had disappeared.
“Be afraid. I don’t want to get into an unnecessary fight.”
But I didn’t want to back down either.
So I tried to act like I did on Earth, and it worked quite well. she grinned.
“me. If you acted unexpectedly, you might have done well? When the world returns to normal, will you seriously think about it?”
Her face, which had been muttering to herself, gradually sank.
She was prepared to fight the guide who had just insulted her.
It was something he would never have done if he had been himself in his previous life, who did not value anything except life.
she has changed
And she liked that.
“Then… let’s continue down.”
After taking a break, she grabbed the sword again and started descending the labyrinth. There was a strong will in her eyes.
Level up with skill
