423. God Essence of Fall on the 83rd Floor
(5)
“Belden…Kia?”
Diana remembered the name.
It was a very awkward voice, as if he hadn’t imagined being able to say that name.
“Is he me?”
“He made a pact with the wizard to save you. It sits on the 61st floor
and is in charge of testing the adventurers who come.”
Taesan opened his inventory.
“He gave me a quest. to save his princess. If so, I will give you my all. I accepted the quest.”
A music box came out of the inventory.
Wizard’s music box. A music box created by Beldencia for the captured princess.
The music box worked and the song
started playing.
A song that seems to announce a very energetic morning.
Diana’s pupils widened.
“That’s…”
“It’s an item that Beldenkia gave along with the quest. He said it could heal your soul.”
“…That’s true. I didn’t expect to come this far and hear the songs of my country again.”
Diana let out a laugh.
“My world is doomed. The only people who know the song are me and Beldencia. There is no lie in your words. Ha ha… It’s ridiculous. forget me and live to live your life I said so. After all, you made a contract with the wizard…
She said it rebukingly, but her expression was filled with joy that could not be hidden.
After pondering her emotions for a moment, Diana opened her mouth.
“If you don’t mind, can I hear a story about Beldenchia
?”
“If you wish.”
Taesan talked about the Beldenquia he had seen.
What trials he is in charge of. Everything about what he was doing and why he gave the quest to Taesan.
Diana listened to the story with a very pleasant expression on her face.
“He hasn’t changed. I feel relieved.”
she smiled softly.
“Thank you. Taesan Kang. I never imagined that I would hear again about him that I thought I would never see or hear again.”
Diana’s tone changed.
Taesan shook his head.
“You can speak comfortably.”
“no. You are the warrior who came here to save me. You have to set up an example that suits you. I really appreciate it.”
She got out of bed and posed politely. It was the posture of
a perfect princess .
Once the relationship was sorted out.
Diana asked with a calm face.
“Then… you are not fooled by the Fall God.”
“I came here on my own. I made a deal.”
“…I’m sorry to say this, but are you really okay? There are many strong people here. Some of them are stronger than me. But no one has been able to clear the Colosseum.”
“It doesn’t matter.”
Taesan calmly said in a tone that there was no problem.
Diana, who was taken aback for a moment, said calmly.
“I know that you are quite strong in that you are hiding your power. If possible, could you show me your power?”
Come to think of it, the seal of authority was still in effect.
Taesan canceled the skill.
“O”
At the same time, Diana’s expression hardened.
His face went white and he reflexively gripped the sword next to the bed.
Barely calm, she caught her breath.
“You are strong.”
There was an expression of unconcealable admiration on his face.
“I’m at a high level that I can’t even compare to others like that. If it’s you
… maybe it’s possible.”
The way to clear this place is to defeat the Apostles in the Colosseum.
The power that Taishan showed now was stronger than that of the four apostles.
If we fought head-to-head, we could have won.
” no.”
But Taesan denied her words.
“It will probably be difficult. Because it was designed that way in the first place.”
“…Is that the part you were talking about earlier?”
“You know that too. It’s designed to be unwinnable in the first place. The close battle must have been to give false hope. It is no different for me.”
I don’t know the exact principle.
One thing to know. An apostle is never defeated.
That the rules were applied.
Of course, if he had perfected Taesan,
he would have been able to hit it with a punch, but now he has his immortal punch sealed.
Perhaps this is why the Falling God dared to lower his status to that of a mortal.
“As expected.”
Diana lowered her head.
I was guessing. Everyone on the border except her had no expectations.
The reason was simple.
Because they had already realized that it was impossible after hundreds and thousands of attempts.
She also tried to deny it, but she knew it in her heart.
“There will be no other way out.”
“Probably not. Everyone here has tried it.”
In the end, you had to pass through the Colosseum to clear it.
But winning in the Colosseum is impossible.
Why did the god of the fall not doubt that he would not come back?
The reason was this.
The only way out was blocked from the start.
“First, let’s gather information. princess. Can you tell us about the battle with the apostle?”
Diana opened her mouth with a calm face.
* * *
“I have opened 47 colloquiums so far. At first, I was helplessly defeated, but as the number of challenges increased, I gradually got used to it. From the thirtieth Coliseum, the battles were almost equal. But from that moment on, the apostle continued to draw new powers.”
Kwonjutsu, or special movements, or other techniques altogether.
Every time I thought I had understood the other person, something jumped out.
“Those who watched from the audience thought that the opponent had hidden power and could win next time… but I, who fought myself, had a different idea.”
Diana bit her lip.
“The strength of the new opponent was too appropriate for the situation.”
“Is it right?”
“I have a lot of stamina, but when I run out of skills, I bring out a technique that I can’t respond to. In the opposite situation, the physical strength was suddenly restored
. It’s not a huge number, but it’s all important changes that change the tide of battle. Over 10 battles all proceeded with a similar flow.”
Something was strange.
It fit the situation too well to say that it simply showed hidden power.
“It was a part that could not be known properly unless you were directly fighting. But then I started to find out that it was strange. After hearing Taesan’s story, I understand. That’s how it was designed in the first place.”
Diana said in a bitter tone.
Taesan stroked his chin.
There was something that came to mind after hearing Diana’s story.
However, he was not sure because he had only seen the battle in person once.
After thinking for a while, Taesan made a decision.
“Can anyone open the Colosseum by collecting 100 points?”
“yes. There are only a few strong players on the border who can collect 100 points. So we are in a cooperative relationship
.”
“Is that so.”
‘I’ll have to try it myself.’
Taesan left the room.
* * *
After leaving the village, Taishan ran across the plain.
It wasn’t long before I saw five people hanging out together
.
They seemed to be the ones who gathered points in the cooperative relationship that Diana said.
Taesan pulled out his sword.
When they got close, they noticed Mount Tai, but it was already too late.
Quadruped!
“Big billion!”
Screams and roars erupted.
It was a single hit. Five people collapsed in an instant.
Taesan kicked his feet.
Before long, another group was discovered. This time it was four.
Taishan, as before, rushed forward and attacked honestly.
The opponent could not respond at all to that simple action.
The four could not even block the blow and collapsed.
[It’s an obvious result, but it’s really a monster.]
The ghost stuck out his tongue.
Those who were now defeated by Taesan
were by no means weak.
Being chosen by the god of falling meant that most of them had the talent to reach the 83rd floor.
Such people were knocked down in a single blow.
Taesan jumped up and said.
“Because the difference in basic stats is too great.”
Taesan’s stats were right in front of his eyes.
much higher than these. There was also equipment, and
there was also a basic difference in rank.
The level of immortality has dropped, but even so, the level that has been reached once is different from that of mortals.
Even more so, these are those who have not even reached the boundary line. There was no reason to bother.
Taesan was quickly cleaned up.
I accumulated over 40 points in less than a day.
And around that time, rumors started to spread.
Those who were resurrected
said that they could not respond and were defeated.
The story of who it was flowed, and soon the newcomer who came in.
There was a story about Taesan.
A monster came in.
Rumors spread quickly and everyone knew.
Then, those who had been silent began to move.
“Is this 60 points?”
Taesan organized the points.
It looked like the Colosseum could be open by tomorrow.
Taesan, which was about to move, hesitated.
Five people were running towards Taesan.
And their strength was superior to those whom Taishan had defeated.
A power similar to that of a princess.
They were borderline people.
Surrounding Taishan and detecting them, they said quietly.
“…strong.”
Taesan
had now lifted the seal of authority. His power was spreading to the world without hiding it.
“Why did you come?”
“For confirmation.”
They revealed their strengths.
Various powers pressed Taishan.
“You must be thinking of clearing the Colosseum. Before that, we will check your strength.”
“Is this the test of the losers?”
“I will not deny it. We finally gave up.”
A calm voice rang out.
Taesan looked at them one by one.
One was holding a sword.
The other one held a spear, and the other two had the power of magic and black magic.
And the last one felt the power of the spirit.
All five had different strengths.
Taesan quickly organized his thoughts.
“The conditions have been established. Well done.”
“…is it good?”
“I had something to test, just as you test me.”
Now he was not immortal.
As for what level it was, it was on the borderline.
If so, will he be able to acquire skills in such a low-key situation?
“Come and see.”
Level up with skill
