“…What is it? that?”
“The scales of Ouroboros.”
Taesan replied. The wizard shook his head.
“no. I know that because the system explains it.”
The wizard’s face as he looked at the scales was full of bewilderment and confusion.
“…Can I check it out?”
Taesan obediently handed the scales to the wizard. The wizard with the matte scales in his hand groaned.
“How did you get it?”
“Ouroboros gave it to you.”
“What about Ouroboros? Again, the radish
wizard burst out laughing. He fiddled with the scales with a confused look on his face.
“…the scales of the cycle. Could such a concept exist in the universe?”
“Is it a different concept from a bezoar?”
“different. The bezoar turns back the individual’s time. That was all. We couldn’t interfere and change it any other way. But this… the cycle is in here.”
The wizard looked at the scales as if possessed.
“Maybe Ouroboros helped us, maybe we can touch it. Even so, it would be impossible if it were not for me and a very few transcendentalists. You want me to use this to make you what you want?”
“okay. would that be possible?”
“I guess it depends on what it is. Tell me what you want.”
Taesan explained what he wanted. Upon hearing the story, the wizard’s face twisted grotesquely.
“I can see what you’re thinking… but I don’t know if that’s possible.”
The wizard fiddled with the scales with a troubled face. Then, as if determined, he held the scales.
“Let’s try it for now. It may be quite far from the effect you are hoping for.”
“That much doesn’t matter.”
In the first place, he didn’t think it would be perfect either. A level of material he could neither handle nor understand. Hafran and Kosrun are no different.
Only the strongest beings in the universe can handle it. It was best to leave it to the wizard.
“I think it will be difficult on my own and I will need other transcendentalists.”
The wizard had a pleasant face, like a scholar exploring the unknown.
“It will be fun. I never imagined that I would be able to handle the power of Ouroboros with my own hands.
Then Taesan. Can you give me your bezoar?”
“Isn’t there no power because it’s used up?”
“I can read the flow at least. ah. yes.”
The wizard held out his hand to Taesan.
“Return flute. Can you return that too? It’s a reward I gave you, so I’m sorry to say this, but I think it’s necessary.”
“good.”
It was unfortunate to lose one reward, but it was rather a gain to gain more than that. Taishan gave the magician a stone and a flute. The wizard smiled strangely at Taesan’s obedient hand.
“Isn’t it too gentle to hand it over? This is a very valuable material for us too?”
They can use it themselves without returning the scales.
To that, Taesan calmly replied.
“It doesn’t matter because I don’t think you would do something stupid like that.”
The value of scales is obviously high.
It is a value that cannot be found in this universe.
However, the value of Taishan was higher. It was an arrogant statement, but the wizard did not deny it. Rather, he smiled heartily.
“I know that. Obviously, the scales are great, but they are not comparable to you.”
The wizard grabbed the scales.
“There must be a lot of people who are interested, so I’ll have to go and see them. Then see you later.”
With those words, the wizard left the labyrinth. It was so fast that I couldn’t stand it.
Taishan leaned his back against the wall.
It won’t happen overnight. maybe even fail Transcendentalists are powerful, but not omnipotent.
But if it comes true.
What he had, he could have again.
‘Let’s wait in peace.’
All he could do
was to become stronger until the wizard came to inform him of the results. Taesan slowly checked the state of his body.
* * *
The state of Mount Tai could not be said to be good even with empty words.
Even though the level up restored the state to the best, the load caused by the absolute resistance was not resolved.
[It’s the first time I’ve seen that it doesn’t recover even with leveling up.]
You can’t recover with the labyrinth system. I had no choice but to slowly recover my condition.
It seemed that it would return to its original state after taking a break for about a week.
There was a lot to do during that time. The first thing was to grasp the newly acquired power.
[Activated ???]
[Obtained Wizard’s Ring]
[Wizard’s Ring]
[Magic + 100]
[Health + 2000]
[Mana + 1000]
[Attack Power + 1500]
[Defense + 30
] A ring worn before becoming a wizard. The essence, which cannot be found now, is mixed in very few rings.]
“This again.”
Taesan let out a laugh.
Attack power was 1500. The magic level was also quite high. It could not be seen as a single ring containing the ability.
From here on the 91st floor. It is the deepest layer of the labyrinth. As much as that, the reward also seemed to have changed one step up.
“Not bad.”
To him now, simple stats and attack power didn’t mean much. Rank and authority were more important.
But at this level, it was well worth it.
And now it was time to check the most important part that might decide his path.
[Special Activated Skill: One’s Essence]
[Looks at oneself. Contemplate yourself and keep your body and personality in an unshakable state for 10 minutes. This skill has a cooldown of one day after using it.]
The authority given to him by Essential. own nature.
The effect was the stabilization obtained through his contemplation.
By using it, the load of absolute resistance could be reduced.
‘But it’s not to that extent.’
Taishan used absolute resistance and his own essence to stabilize the status he had raised to the level of a god for quite a long time.
It was something so huge that it could not be contained in the concept of skill. To maintain and stabilize oneself for a long time after reaching a high level
. It was impossible even with the power of his own essence.
What made this possible was something within him that he identified as his own nature.
It looked at Mount Tai and moved away as if to yield.
Then, Taesan was able to stably attain the level of Gosin, albeit temporarily.
what’s inside him
After waiting for a day, Taesan activated his essence.
[You have activated your own essence
.]
Read your own image. Go into that deep place and contemplate yourself.
His image was nothing else. It was stained black and distorted.
but it was not visible
I couldn’t find the unknown something I saw then, as if it was hiding.
“hmm.”
One’s essence is terminated. Taesan, who came out of the image, frowned.
‘What is it?’
The information that has been confirmed so far is that there is something inside him.
And that the level of existence is quite high.
That was all. Nothing more was known.
Taesan explained the contents to Akasha and Bardray. Bard Ray pondered and opened his mouth.
[I don’t know what it is, but isn’t it kind to you? Didn’t he help in the end?]
[Well… I don’t think he’s a good being in the true sense of the word. Anyway,
it means that he was hiding inside the master and watching over him.]
Taesan also agreed with Akasha. So far, I have been helping him. After all, if that being hadn’t moved away, it would have been quite difficult to defeat the worthless one.
But is it really a favor to him?
If he was really kind to him, he would have shown himself like a demon or Maria.
But when Taesan tried to find him, he hid himself. It meant that he did not want to show
himself to Tae-san .
‘I can not believe it.’
At least not out of pure goodwill.
I don’t know what. The purpose is also unknown. How can he trust the guy who was secretly hiding inside him in the first place?
[…I have a question.]
Akasha asked quietly.
[Doesn’t even the owner know when it started?]
“That’s right. I only found out about it recently.”
[Then, since when do you think it was in the master’s house?]
“…I don’t know.”
Since when is there something inside him?
It could have been in him before time turned back.
There was a possibility that he was quietly observing Mt. Tae while hiding himself.
[It gives me goosebumps.]
“I don’t know.”
don’t think for a moment If Essential came later,
it was something I could check for myself.
While defeating the worthless, the proficiency of many skills rose. Among them, the mastery of partial world change has reached 9 9%.
Now, a 1% increase was 100%.
Since partial world change is a skill acquired in this life, even Taesan did not know what changes would occur.
But it won’t be a small change. He will definitely get stronger.
and transcend. worthless.
[Transcendence: Valueless]
[Proficiency: %s&]
[$#%—%]
As with other Old Gods’ powers, I couldn’t read the description, but I could see how to handle them.
Valuelessness was the power to deal with based on black.
rippling
the power of darkness. A black color rose on Taesan’s hand.
And focused on it.
The black color slowly begins to fade. The color fades away, and before long it turns into an intangible energy that has no color.
this is worthless
Taesan, who looked at the worthlessness for a moment, snapped his fingers. The intangible energy touched the wall of the labyrinth.
And at that moment, the labyrinth suddenly distorted.
Bricks lose their shape and crumble. The labyrinth system itself begins to collapse.
[Wait!]
The floor rises with a frightened voice.
[Barbabamba activated #0045()1.]
Barbabamba appeared in a hurry and bumped into a brick. The labyrinth distorts and begins to exclude and push away valuelessness.
Koo Goo Goo!
But worthlessness does not perish.
Rather, he clings to the power of Barba Bamba, who tries to exclude himself, and gets stronger. It erodes the entire room in an instant
.
[What nonsense!]
Barbabamba burst out in astonishment.
Taesan waved his hand. The worthless value that had been raised was quickly recovered.
[You, you…]
“Are you at this level?”
Taesan was also surprised. The power of the unworthy he dealt with was not very threatening as he could not interfere with the boundary line.
So I was looking at the effect relatively low, but
it wasn’t at all.
‘A transcendental person who has reached the realm of faith can barely suppress it with all his might.’
Taishan was unusual, but the authority of the unworthy was quite difficult for beings in this world. If so, you could use it often.
Valuelessness can be handled using black, but there is a limit to the total amount. It seemed that it could only be used once during battle.
Barbababamba grumbled, barely real.
[Damn it. Do not use such power in the Labyrinth. The wizard is also absent. It is difficult to respond when a problem arises.]
“I am sorry. By the way, the wizard was away?”
[They just threw me away and left because something suddenly happened. I must be busy too, but what are you doing?]
He must have gone to deal with the scales Taesan gave him. Taesan just laughed without saying anything.
“thanks for your effort. But can we proceed to the next floor without the wizard?”
[Does not matter. The story is already over.]
Balba Bamba said calmly.
[Someone you know well will be waiting.]
“Okay.”
Barbabamba left.
Taesan captured the power.
Now, I have gained several powers of the Gods.
If you include black, there were four.
There was only one Taesan that could
handle this level of authority at once .
‘I wonder if it can be mixed.’
I suddenly felt that way.
Taishan could mix black and divine.
If so, can other powers also be mixed?
Can you create something by mixing power and power?
After thinking for a while, Taesan shook his head. It was too far away for now.
Taesan quietly rested.
He looked around the community, talked, and contemplated the power he gained.
After a week or so had passed, Taesan, who had recovered completely, got up and went down the stairs.
[Starting the 92nd floor quest.]
[Fulfill the shop owner’s wish.]
[Reward: Shop’s equipment.]
[Secret reward: ???]
Level up with skill.
