Episode 612
612. Easy mode. After the third return (6),
I have seen quite a few skill acquisition system windows.
He didn’t even get three or four in normal easy mode, but he was an irregular.
However, no skill acquisition was as satisfying as this moment.
“Ha ha ha ha ha.”
I can’t help but laugh. The effect of the skill was not very important. One important thing. His prediction was correct.
He has now found the answer.
Smile and relax. I went to extreme avoidance for over a day. My mind was already at its limit.
But still, I was so happy that I couldn’t control it. It was the result of four months of mental effort and investment. I felt like I wouldn’t be able to endure it if I didn’t check it right away.
Taesan did not necessarily reject his instincts.
“Skill window.”
[Special activation skill: Unreachable distance]
[Mana consumption: 10]
[Proficiency: 1%]
[Can be activated by specifying one opponent. They can never physically affect each other. This skill cannot be activated arbitrarily. This skill consumes 5 mana every second after activation. When all mana is consumed, the skill’s activation is cancelled.]
And what appeared was what he gained.
A deep smile appeared on Taesan’s lips.
A distance that cannot be reached.
This is the unique skill he has acquired.
Slowly read the description of the skill. Certainly, unlike regular skills, the effect was quite complicated, but not to the point that it was difficult to understand.
‘Targeting skill.’
A skill that can only be activated if there is a target. Since it was a skill obtained in a 1:1 situation, there was nothing special about it.
The important thing is the next sentence.
They can never physically affect each other.
It can never be affected.
While descending the labyrinth, I have never once heard a sentence written in the labyrinth’s system tell a lie.
In other words, absolutely meant the literal meaning.
This meant that no opponent could hit Taesan with an attack.
Even if the opponent is a monster in hard mode or alone mode, it will be no different.
The smile on Taesan’s lips grew stronger.
This is it.
A way to overcome the limitations of Easy Mode by using the system. skill.
His prediction was completely correct. Taesan became so happy that he couldn’t be any more happy. I felt like I wanted to have my own party.
Taesan, who was happy for a while, slowly calmed down his emotions.
I was so happy that I was happy. Now it was time to calmly understand the effect of the skill.
‘Physical effects.’
Not all attacks were unreachable.
In any case, there was a limit to the physical impact.
This meant that it did not apply to attacks such as magic or items.
“Is it because I only avoid physical attacks?”
Wolves were not enemies that particularly used magic. They just rushed at them like animals, biting and trampling.
So, if it was an enemy that uses magic, would you have gotten a skill that only magic can’t reach?
There is a possibility. After organizing his reasoning, Taesan continued to check the effect of the skill.
[This skill cannot be canceled arbitrarily.]
“Cannot be cancelled… Is that right?”
This was a rather big penalty.
The effect of the skill was not to ignore the opponent’s physical attacks.
The target of the effect also included Mount Tai.
Likewise, Taesan was unable to physically influence his opponent.
It was a kind of situation where they could not interfere with each other. You could hit Taesan with a magic wand or a potion, but it didn’t seem like it would have much meaning.
It is impossible to cancel the skill in a state where there is no interference with each other.
Above all, the biggest problem was mana consumption.
[This skill consumes 5 mana every second after activation.]
5.
It was not a small number. Taesan’s current mana is 140. Since 10 mana is consumed to activate the skill, it means that it can only be activated for a maximum of 26 seconds.
And Taesan had a hunch.
All of the skills he will acquire in the future will require considerable mana consumption.
You need to find a way to increase and recover mana as much as possible. Taesan added one more goal.
The rough understanding is over. Now it was time to see for myself how it worked.
Recover mana from the Fountain of Life and proceed through the room.
A new wolf rushes towards Taesan. Taesan glanced at the wolf and activated his skill.
[You activated Unreachable Distance.]
And the moment the wolf’s attack approaches.
Taesan’s body moved automatically.
The wolf’s attack was avoided by just one piece of paper.
“hmm?”
Taesan was momentarily embarrassed. His body moved completely regardless of his will.
It was the same after that. Every time the wolf attacked, Taesan’s body automatically moved to avoid it.
The evasion he used while dealing with the wolf was perfectly implemented as a skill.
It was a strange feeling. Taesan grabbed the sword. I swung my sword at the charging wolf.
But the sword doesn’t reach.
As if the space itself was distorted, Taesan’s attack missed the wolf by just a piece of paper.
“Is this what it feels like?”
The body moves automatically. And they can never influence each other.
The effect was as described.
[Chorus!]
The wolf was embarrassed and swung its claws at random, but it did not reach Taesan.
The wolf was very confused as it was his first experience in his short monster life.
In the meantime, 26 seconds passed and all mana was consumed. The wolf’s attack hit Taesan.
[Kyeong!]
The wolf was happy. But before she could fully enjoy the joy, Taesan plunged a knife into her neck.
Taesan, who defeated the wolf, was troubled.
‘The restrictions are bigger than I thought.’
This is a skill that specifies a single target, and when you avoid that target’s attack, your body automatically evades. 1: In many battles, it was no different from suicide.
Moreover, he cannot attack either. Items and magic wands can be used, but they are meaningless. In fact, it was a skill for holding on.
And it cannot be canceled until all mana is consumed, so there is no going back.
That was the reason why Taesan, who returned to the past with the Ouroboros bezoar, did not reach a distance that could not be reached.
For him with the Ability Sword, physical attacks were his main focus. If that wasn’t possible, it was more like fighting while holding on to one’s own ankles, and in the deep end, most enemies did not place much value on physical strength.
Moreover, unless it is a 1:1 situation, it is meaningless and Taisan cannot be attacked.
As the body automatically avoided, it was difficult to lead the battle as Taesan intended. It was very difficult to use as it was impossible to cancel the activation.
In fact, it was close to backward compatibility between counter and forced duel.
It could not be canceled until the mana was used up, so for him, it was a skill with greater risk than return.
Since it takes quite a long time to acquire a skill, it is better to use that time to acquire other skills and become stronger. That was his judgment back in the past.
He didn’t realize it yet, but those were pretty much the skills he would acquire in the future.
It had a penalty equal to the effect, so it could only be used in certain situations where it was difficult to use freely.
The skills that didn’t do that were only a handful.
‘Are all skills like this like this?’
With great power comes great responsibility. In his case, it’s a penalty, not a liability. Considering the effect, it wasn’t something I couldn’t understand.
There are many restrictions.
A skill that is difficult to use properly.
But even taking that into account, it was a very good skill.
Lasts up to 26 seconds. Any enemy that uses physical attacks, no matter how strong, can defeat Taisan. Even if it’s an enemy that can kill him in commas.
Taesan remembered.
A monster that even the strongest hard mode player, who single-handedly killed countless hard mode players, could not survive for even 5 seconds on his own.
Taesan was able to last 26 seconds even against such a monster.
This has great significance on Earth.
A grin appears.
Dozens of skill ideas flash through his mind.
“It seems difficult to meet this condition, and this seems possible… but the penalty seems to be large. “This is okay.”
I mutter alone. From now on, he planned to go down the labyrinth very slowly. Since there were various monsters and conditions on each floor, I planned to get as many skills as I could from there.
‘I’ll have to get at least two more before my next return.’
He will survive.
Rather than simply surviving by crawling on the ground to survive, you will defeat your enemies, become stronger than anyone else, and proudly trample on your enemies.
Taesan happily began to descend the labyrinth.
