Episode 614
614. Easy mode. Simple time stop (2)
Beyond the dizzyingly moving projectiles, an open treasure chest was visible.
You must pass past these projectiles. Only then could you obtain the secret room reward.
Ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-gak!
Projectiles collide with each other, bounce back, and fill the room.
I have to avoid all of that and get past it. It looks extremely difficult.
But it wasn’t as difficult as it looked.
There was a set pattern based on the assumption that the projectiles would not be touched.
All you have to do is separate all projectiles into several patterns and move them according to those patterns. It was a kind of bomb dodging.
In fact, it took Taesan less than two days to pass through the secret room.
The reason he spent years here was not because of compensation.
“Get sick of it.”
Taesan mutters softly and goes inside. Although the movement was like a very leisurely stroll, the projectile completely avoided Taishan.
And Taesan stood in the middle of a room the size of a playground.
Ga-ga-ga-ga-gak!
Projectiles moving around dizzyingly.
Having this amount of projectiles bounce back and fill the room was a special condition in itself. At least it will be a room that will never be seen again.
As such, I wondered if I could gain something from this place, and the conditions immediately came to mind.
Blocks all projectiles.
You gain skills by blocking and blocking all projectiles that come close to him.
An absolute skill that blocks all projectiles.
The simpler and clearer the skill conditions were, the more powerful the skill was often obtained. In that sense, blocking projectiles was a skill that could definitely be obtained.
Taesan immediately attempted to block the projectile.
But he failed.
It was not that there was little investment. After investing years of time, I decided it was impossible and gave up.
‘long time.’
Taesan took out two swords. A shield could not be used. Strangely enough, skill cannot be obtained in a way that anyone can do.
The projectile that passed by him as if it were empty collided with Taesan’s sword.
Ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-gak!
And the noise spreads.
Due to external intervention, the pattern that was perfectly organized like a machine becomes distorted. In an instant, the space is covered with projectiles. Some of them fly towards Taishan.
Taesan took a short breath. He moves the sword in both hands dizzyingly.
Let’s go!
Hit the flying sphere on the left. The sphere that touches the sword flies in a different direction and collides with the projectiles flying towards Taishan. They bounce off each other and create a kind of curtain.
Pull the sword on the right for a long time. Press the projectiles to make them bounce to the ground and then stab them. The needle that was flying at high speed flies in the opposite direction.
Hundreds of projectiles are flying towards Taishan.
All of that is out of reach.
It is as if there is an invisible circular curtain centered on Mount Tai, and cannot be penetrated. Taishan’s sword moves dizzyingly. The projectiles bounce off each other, repel and push each other away.
It is a phenomenon that even the word ‘miracle’ lacks.
A transcendent point achieved through pure technique and calculation.
10 seconds passed like that.
Kagak!
A dart that missed the sword flies towards Taesan’s face. Taesan twists his head, but the commendation passes by Taesan’s cheek.
[Your first attack’s absolute nullity has been activated.]
“Tsk.”
Click your tongue.
Although it only allowed one blow, it was a failure in itself. Taesan hurriedly escaped the secret room. The projectiles attacked him like crazy, but the attack nullification nullified them entirely.
Kugoogung!
The door closes.
Taesan puts his sword away.
“In the end, what can’t be done can’t be done.”
I sigh.
What do I need to do to get the projectile blocking skill? All he had to do was block the access of all projectiles himself.
However, there were too many projectiles.
The moment there was external intervention, the established pattern was distorted and irregularities occurred in an instant. It was impossible to block it all out with my senses.
If it were Taeyeon Lee, it would be possible. But he is in easy mode. There was nothing that could be done about the limitations of the stats.
So Taesan thought simply.
He found patterns in the irregularities he created.
When first intervening, which projectile should be struck at what timing, at what angle, and with what force.
From then on, how should I use my sword so that the projectiles don’t collide with each other and approach Taesan?
I calculated it all and pounded it into my body like a machine.
But he was not a machine. He was a living, breathing human being.
All the irregular phenomena of thousands of projectiles are organized into patterns. This was only possible with a supercomputer. His mind had its limits, and as soon as it exceeded 10 seconds, patterns that went beyond his predictions appeared.
I knew it from the moment I attempted to acquire the skill. No matter how hard you try, you can’t stop it for longer than a certain amount of time. Nevertheless, the reason I invested years of time was because I hoped that I would be able to acquire skills if I persisted to my limit.
But it was a fleeting hope.
Even if I held on for 10 seconds, the system window showed no signs of improvement.
‘Is it 20 seconds? Or maybe it’s 1 minute.’
In any case, it is impossible. After investing years of time, we finally came to a conclusion.
This failure was a very painful one for him as well.
Blocks all projectiles. It was no exaggeration to say that if he acquired it, he would gain absolute defense against a specific opponent. Among the monsters, there were many bomb-type monsters, but this means you can ignore all of them.
But ultimately it was a failure. It was a skill that could not have been achieved with his skills. I have already concluded that it is impossible.
I didn’t come here to regain that skill.
Taesan entered the secret room again.
Click.
The footrest is pressed and projectiles come out again. The projectiles here are reset every time you enter or exit the secret room. If it weren’t for that, I wouldn’t have even thought of trying it in the first place.
“hmm.”
Taesan quietly looks at the projectiles. His still mind spins at a rapid pace.
Now he was thinking about the effects and conditions of one skill.
After a few tens of minutes, the answer came.
‘I guess it’s possible.’
It’s ridiculous, but if you rely on luck, you might get it.
Anyway, what he wants is Irregular. Like other skills, it cannot be obtained through ordinary means. Other players might question whether that was an ordinary method, but Taesan thought it was.
Then check the conditions again. Taesan held out his sword towards the rushing projectiles. The huge sphere that collides with the sword bounces away with a loud noise.
Kaaaang!
The sphere he just touched was the largest projectile. It flies and collides with a very thin needle. Of course, it seemed like the needle would be crushed mercilessly and the sphere would move forward leisurely.
Ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-gak!
But what appeared was something completely different.
A huge sphere and a needle bounce off each other at the same time.
The bounced sphere hit other small projectiles and moved around. It was a phenomenon that violated the laws of physics.
All projectiles here, regardless of size and shape, have 100% identical kinetic energy and weight.
It was the same thing, but only the appearance was different. Calculation was easy because you only had to worry about the volume.
and.
Focus on observing the moment when projectiles collide with each other.
Kaaaang!
The needle and the dagger collide and bounce in opposite directions.
At that moment, I could see Taesan.
The moment the projectiles hit each other, they stop for a split second.
At first, I thought that an object thrown high in the sky came to a halt due to a collision, stopping very briefly in the air when the kinetic energy and gravitational energy coincided.
But upon closer inspection, it was something completely different.
All projectiles here stop for a very short time the moment they come into contact with something.
As if time had stopped.
I don’t know why. It’s probably a labyrinth system. All he knew was that when a projectile collides with something, the projectile stops and that time is approximately 0.05 seconds.
This part was important.
It was the key to obtaining the skills he wanted.
“There will be no problem since we are using the characteristics of the labyrinth.”
It’s expedient, but it won’t matter. Instead of blocking all shortcuts, the labyrinth leniently allowed cases in which users discovered it themselves.
Reset the trap again and stand in the center of the room. Thousands of projectiles move chaotically.
Taesan thrust his sword towards that place.
Kaaaaaaaa!
Foreign matter enters in a set pattern. The projectiles started flying like crazy.
How does it move when touched? I’ve figured out that pattern enough over the past year. It was possible to completely block projectiles approaching Taesan for up to 10 seconds.
But what he wants now is not blocking.
Ga-ga-ga-ga-gak!
A projectile that bounces back like crazy flies towards Taesan.
Taesan moves his sword quickly. Strikes away projectiles and pushes them away. Projectiles fly wild in all directions, stabbing his entire body.
[Your first attack Absolute Nullification has been activated.]
[Your first attack Absolute Nullification has been activated.] [
Your first attack Absolute Nullification has been activated.]
[Your first attack Absolute Nullification has been activated. .]
Attack nullification continues to occur. Taesan was not embarrassed. This was exactly the situation he was aiming for.
Let’s go!
Turn off the attack nullification window and focus.
He touches and touches the projectiles, causing them to fluctuate like crazy around him.
Ga-ga-ga-ga-gak!
‘If I touch it like this, will this pattern come out?’
Remember the pattern. Leave the room and come back in. And then touches the projectile again.
Ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-gak!
Move your sword quickly towards the projectiles that react like crazy. Projectiles whose trajectories have been distorted by the sword collide with each other.
Projectiles that collide like that stop in the air.
It’s such a fleeting moment that you can’t tell unless you focus very briefly.
Kagak.
Move both hands. The sword collides and the projectiles collide with each other.
And that moment.
For a brief moment, all five projectiles centered on Mount Tai stopped at once.
Taesan’s eyes narrow. The mind becomes more accelerated and the physical senses become stronger.
What he was going to do now was simple.
Projectiles enter his area.
And make it stop.
They collide, collide, and repulse each other, stopping all projectiles within the range he can interfere with.
All in a very short period of 0.05 seconds.
It was as if time had stopped except for him.
