_ Volume 17 Episode 12
412. 82nd Floor Lemegeton (1)
“The reason they were made into twins in the first place was that they had too strong personalities to make them into one. But if you have these materials… it’s possible.”
Hafran examined the ingredients.
“Are you going to use all these ingredients?”
“I don’t know how many ingredients are needed, so I just took them all out
.”
“hmm.”
Hafran stroked his chin.
“All… you won’t need it. Even if the individuality of the twin ring is strong, what you have shown me now is more than that. Rather overdone.”
Hafran, who was looking at the ingredients, heard a new blood.
“You won’t need this. The level is too high. It might hurt the individuality of the ring.”
Divine Blood is an item that can raise a mortal being to an immortal one.
Certainly, it was too much to use as a consumable item.
“Above all, if it’s an item related to God… I can’t touch it. You never know how that god will react.”
Hafran returned the new blood with a disgusted face.
“Still, it is possible at the level of other materials. As much as you use the core of the world, the essence of the world is also compatible. For now, attack the labyrinth.”
“As expected, it takes quite a bit of time.” “
It takes a lot of time to figure out how to handle materials like this .
I need your help to craft the equipment anyway. I’ll call you when everything is ready.”
“okay.”
“Are you going to use this, anyway?”
The material Hafran talked about was a piece of will.
“This is a material related to will. You’d better leave this to Kosrun, not me.” There was
something Hafran talked about earlier
. There is a blacksmith optimized for prosthetic equipment.
Mad blacksmith. Kosrun. He said he was staying deep.
However, Taesan shook his head.
“Sorry, but I didn’t see it.”
“huh?”
Hafran was perplexed.
“Aren’t you over the 80th floor now? But you said you couldn’t find Kosrune?”
“Unless I missed it,
it’s not here.”
And there was no way Taesan would miss it. Apparently, Kosrun was not visible until the 82nd floor.
Hafran stroked his chin.
“I heard that you got a seat on the 70th floor, but you may have moved there. Either way, keep this one. I don’t think you’ll need it.”
Taesan received the piece of will and took care of it.
Hafran raised the hammer with a joyful face.
“Then I will prepare. You can expect enough.”
Taesan looked at Hafran for a moment.
Hafran asked with a scrutinizing gaze.
“Why?”
“no.”
‘Joy excitement and madness.’
Taesan left Hafran behind and descended the labyrinth.
Each one entrusted to him was a material that was close to impossible to obtain even in the depths.
If they gathered them together and made equipment, the equipment would be superior to any equipment Taesan had ever obtained.
It could have been of a higher level than the equipment Taeyeon Lee had handled in her previous life.
Taesan left Hafran behind and went down the labyrinth.
* *
The affair with Hafran is over. Now it was time to check the power gained this time.
Didn’t get much out of it. But a very big change has taken place.
[Concept skill: Will of all things]
[Proficiency level: 1%]
[Feel and read the will of everything in the world. And if you wish, you can tune that will and deal with it according to your will. So far, it can only have a very weak effect.]
Concept skill ???.
The effect was to read the will.
I was able to figure out what the other person was doing and thinking in advance and respond accordingly. It didn’t show much, but it was a skill that was consistently helpful in battle.
As that skill defeated the world, it changed into a skill called Will of All Things.
Taesan looked at the ghost. The ghost flinched and shuddered. Taesan’s gaze seemed to see right through him.
[Why do you look like that?]
“I have something to check.”
When he got the will of all things and faced Hafran, Taesan was able to read his feelings.
Not just superficial emotions, but even things that lie deeper.
It was like reading your thoughts.
And I felt something similar with the ghost.
‘expectation.’
Maybe Taesan will be able to go down to the end of the labyrinth and expect what he will get.
‘unrest.’
And in the process, Taesan is worried that it will fail.
‘…a very small despair.’
He despaired that his quest would be completed before long and that he would be separated from Taesan after that.
Even the ghost himself showed such a level of emotion that he did not know.
Taesan closed her eyes. The ghost
was perplexed.
[what’s the matter? What’s wrong with the newly acquired skill?]
“If it’s a problem, it’s a problem.”
Taesan explained roughly. The ghost who heard the story was silent.
[…that I can read all of Hafran’s emotions?]
“You’re not the only one.”
Everything in the labyrinth felt close.
The skill itself was understandable. What he defeated was the world itself.
And the world was the master of all life.
Therefore, through the spiritual elevation, he gained the power to read all things in the world and manipulate them according to his will.
But Taesan was a human.
Obviously, the skill was stronger, but it was not good to read unnecessary parts.
“I need to make some adjustments.”
[That would be nice. To be able to read it just by being next to it. It’s very awkward.]
The ghost said in an unpleasant tone. Taesan slowly looked at the bricks in the labyrinth
and concentrated.
The ghostly feelings that I had been feeling all along began to block.
If Taesan wanted it, he could block unnecessary information and read only the will and emotion of what he wanted. It was not an uncontrollable kind of force.
It remains to be seen how this will help, but it wasn’t a bad change.
And the proficiency of the language exceeded 20%.
[Special always-on skill: Spirit]
[Proficiency level: 24%]
[The materialization of will. By uttering the language of will, you can make a declaration that affects the world. More diverse and detailed declarations are possible.]
The commanding power is a useful power, but it was not easy to control. However, it was a useful change because it became possible to adjust it to some extent as the skill level rose.
Taishan activated the seal of authority and set foot on the 82nd floor.
[Starting the 82nd floor quest.]
[Pass the devil’s ordeal.]
[Reward: Belt that drank the water of the depths of darkness]
[Secret reward: ???]
“Is it the devil?”
The master of black magic that Taesan possesses.
The rewards and secret rewards on the 81st floor were all magical equipment. This time, it seemed similarly related to black magic.
Taesan went ahead and found the altar.
It was just black.
There were no patterns or decorations. Only the black aisle lay in the middle of the room.
Taesan quietly checked the aisle.
As a result, I found out something.
In that aisle, I felt a power similar to that of the old gods.
‘They said they were definitely similar to the old gods.’
Infinitely weaker than the Gosins, but beings similar to them. Things born with strong power from birth. that’s the devil
And Taesan had a skill related to it.
[Remegeton]
[A contract with the devil. If you wish, and if they want, you can make a pact and deal with black magic yourself. It is still just a right and has no effect.]
The right to make a direct contract with the devil.
I got it quite a while ago, but
I haven’t had a chance to use it until now. It’s finally time to use Remegeton.
Taesan stepped toward the aisle. It was the moment I tried to put my body in without hesitation.
[Would you like to wait a minute?]
A huge darkness descended between Mount Tai and the passage.
Taesan hesitated. The descending darkness was a force he had encountered many times that he now felt familiar.
“Drinking.”
[I said see you again, right? Taesan.]
The drunken Lucifer appeared quietly.
Black hair sways. The Demon God who appeared in the labyrinth landed barefoot.
[Looks like you’ve gained a lot of strange powers.]
“That’s it.”
The will of all things to the magic of negation. They were all heterogeneous forces. The drinker said calmly.
[Can you guess the reason why I came here?]
“It must be because of this.”
Lemegeton. A right that allows you to make a direct contract with the devil.
The drunkard nodded.
[Originally, it would have been up to you whether to use it or not. Of course, you would definitely have used Remegeton, but the choice itself would have been possible. But things are a bit different now.
Taesan. You made a contract with the wizard’?]
“Yes.”
Taesan nodded. A contract with a wizard. Instead of increasing the difficulty of the labyrinth exclusively for Taesan, he received a corresponding reward.
And the best way to increase the difficulty was Remegeton.
Taesan accepted it calmly.
“I don’t care. I was thinking of using it anyway.”
The devil clapped his hands with a satisfied smile.
[Remegeton has been activated.]
Coo-goo-goo!
The black passage and Remegeton are fused.
Along with a noise like a scream, the aisle begins to distort.
Quadruped!
And the passage changes.
I feel dozens of gazes beyond the abyss-like passage of darkness.
it’s the devil
Demons with their own domain were looking at Mount Tai.
[Originally, a lower level demon would have been in charge of the ordeal. Even if it’s a lower class, it’s a level to test adventurers. However, there are no demons that can defeat you, except for the ones you have in your realm.]
Taesan quietly looked across the aisle.
I could feel their power closer, probably because the demons were directly connected.
Demons are strong.
It was definitely higher than the present Mount Tai.
However, in terms of essential status,
they stood on the same line as each other.
‘Is it immortal?’
[These are 72 powerful demons. Beings with their own territory. I am the master of your dark magic. They will give you an ordeal.]
They were running amok as if they would jump out of the aisle at any moment.
Dark energy flowed from the dark aisle.
[Stay still.]
The demon waved his hand. A huge wave hit the other side of the aisle. The eyes that were on Taesan were instantly
scattered.
[Troublesome things. It’s bound by a contract, but it keeps trying to come out on its own.]
The eyes that ran away start crawling back one by one.
As if reading Taesan’s thoughts, the demon spoke.
[These are beings similar to Goshin. They were born with strong power from birth. Of course, most of them are weak enough to be incomparable to Gosin… But if you have to put it that way, they’re closer to being on the other side than on this side. It will be a very meaningful ordeal
for you .]
The power of the demons subsided, perhaps because they were pressed once.
The demon god put his hand through the aisle.
[As I said, these guys are close to old gods. That’s why the trials are also quite bad taste.]
The Demon God clicked his tongue as if he didn’t like it.
[You don’t want to torture yourself either, do you? I’ll filter it properly.]
“Thank you.”
It was unexpected, but Taesan accepted it gratefully.
According to the demon god, the devil was close to what he thought was a real devil. I didn’t want to go through the ordeal of killing or torturing a normal person.
Taesan waited in silence as it would have been appreciated if the God of Drinking would filter it out on its own.
Time passed just like that.
After ten minutes had passed, Taesan quietly asked the demon.
“Are you still undecided?”
[Wait a moment longer.]
The demon frowned.
[I can’t just give you a trial of this level.]
His voice contained determination, as if he didn’t like the trials the demons suggested. Taesan closed her mouth and waited in silence.
Another ten minutes passed, then twenty minutes passed. In the meantime, I was choosing a useful trial with my hand stuck in the aisle that I had continued to drink.
“Even if you gradually undergo a suitable trial
[Eh. I still don’t like it. If it’s only this ordeal, it’s too comparable to Zervand.]
The demon muttered with a dissatisfied face.
From Taesan’s point of view, it was grateful that the Demon God cared so much, but it seemed that the ordeal would not be decided even after a day. It was the moment when Tae-san was about to ask for proper tidying up.
[Then let me do it.]
A thick man’s voice
echoed from across the aisle.
Suddenly, an arm jumped out.
[…Why are you here?]
The demon was perplexed. The being who showed up spoke calmly.
[Because it doesn’t seem like it will end like this. I know he likes it, but wouldn’t it be better to organize it in moderation?]
The owner of the voice had a huge horn on his head.
Its red pupils were the same as those of reptiles, and black aura flowed throughout its body.
It literally looked like a devil.
And the power he felt was also on a different level from other demons.
‘This.’
The class is different.
If I had to ask for a class, it would be a transcendental class.
Above all, the kind of power I felt was not from this world.
A being close to the god of death.
The being looked at Mount Tai and grinned.
[Nice to meet you. Mixed beings.]
[The great devil, Baal has appeared.]
Level up with skills.
