“It’s me!”
“Were you up when you came?”
“No, I ran away as soon as I saw it! There’s no way I could defeat a monster like that!”
Guardian.
A monster whose name means guardian is sleeping even when an intruder has arrived. It was a sight that perfectly fit its name, Sloth.
“Okay, you go back now.”
“Huh? No, I’m going to… … .”
“Whatever you do, stay here. But if you fight that guy and get hit by a blind sword or claws, don’t blame me.”
“Oh, I shouldn’t have bothered you! Thank you so much for saving me!”
The man left those words behind and quickly disappeared.
The way he ran away was just like Park Jeong-pil.
– The constellation, ‘The Hungry Prince’, expresses his anticipation, saying that bear bile is really delicious.
Seun ignored Beelzebub’s message and walked forward.
It was more important to check if the dead-end road was properly closed than to check if the bear was sleeping anyway.
The method of verification is simple.
As before, just swing the sword.
If there was a wound or if it didn’t absorb sound properly, there was little chance that this was the lid even if there was that bear.
Just before Seun’s sword touched the wall.
Bam!
“Grrr… … .”
A sharp claw blocked Seun’s sword.
When he turned his head, the bear that had been sleeping oblivious to the world was glaring at Se-un.
“So you’re a Guardian too?”
Instead of answering, the bear swung his other claw.
Se-Woon steps back and dodges lightly, but the wall blocks his way as if it can never be touched.
“Yeah, the order is just different.”
Whether I check the wall and deal with it, or deal with it and check the wall, the result is the same.
Since he had the power of gluttony, I had no intention of leaving him alone.
– Through internal energy, the Blood Wolf Sword Technique’s Jeo Cho-shik and Blood Wolf Jung-yeop (Blood Wolf Crowd Hunting) are strengthened.
– The power of martial arts is strengthened according to the secret of the ultimate deep attack.
Seun came out strong from the start.
At the signal of the sword swing, dozens of sharp fangs flew towards the bear.
“Ruin, ask.”
– I understand, my lord.
According to Leviathan’s message, there was a high probability that the bear was imbued with the divinity of Belphegor.
That’s why I immediately summoned Ruin and ordered him to attack.
If your opponent has divinity, there is no attack that works as well as Ruin’s attack.
Kwajik!
“Grilled!”
The guy’s hide was thick. Combined with his strong muscles, the guy didn’t even flinch when bitten by Ruin.
Instead, he got angry and rushed at Se-un.
– The power of ‘Explosion’ is strengthened according to the Black Tower’s magic.
– The speed of ‘Explosion’ increases according to the magic of the green tower.
Boom!
A heavy boom echoed with the explosion, but the guy simply waved his arms to clear the smoke away.
The only damage was a little bit of singed hair.
Even though it was a Guardian, I underestimated it as it was a monster on the 41st floor, but it was stronger than I expected.
But that was only for a moment.
Crunch!
Phew-
The guy’s body began to break down under the pouring attacks of Seun and Ruin.
The leather withstood Ruin’s fangs, but the bones inside could not hold out and broke.
Se-un held the sword and doggedly aimed only at the guy’s abdomen.
“Kuwoah!”
Phew!
But the guy didn’t give up.
He struggles as if he doesn’t feel any pain, then finally kicks away Ruin who is biting his leg.
The force was so strong that Ruin’s body was thrown all the way to the opposite wall, causing the wall to shake as if an earthquake had occurred.
‘As expected, that’s right.’
In the meantime, Seun was able to confirm that the wall the guy was guarding was the ‘lid’ mentioned in Belphegor’s diary.
That’s because the vibration that occurred when Ruin just hit the wall spread through the ceiling and floor, but that wall alone didn’t shake.
“Kuwoaa!”
Ignoring the blood gushing from his abdomen and the tattered leg, he charged towards Seun.
It was so intimidating because it filled the passageway.
And Se-un, without hesitation, gripped the sword tightly with both hands.
– The seventh technique of the Taegeuk 18 Half Swords, Taesan Gwaegyeol (泰山壞決), is strengthened through internal energy.

– The power of martial arts is strengthened according to the secret of the ultimate deep attack.
The seventh technique of the Taegeuk 18 Half Swords, which is said to be able to even destroy Mt. Taishan, is the Taesan Gwaegyeol.
The immense force collided with the bear’s claws.
At first, for a brief moment, it seemed like there would be a standoff.
Kwajik-
The match was quickly decided, starting with the eerie sound of claws splitting.
Kookung!
The bear, whose body had been torn apart, or rather crushed, by the force of the wind, rolled past Seun.
A monster that was strong enough to counterattack Ruin.
Indeed, it was the guardian who guarded Belphegor’s lid.
‘Didn’t you inherit divinity?’
Belphegor’s Guardian said that even Leviathan could smell it, so I thought he would definitely use some kind of power.
Although it was quite strong, the battle ended easily without any major incidents.
As I was walking towards the wall with the sword in my hand, I felt an enormous pressure coming from behind.
– master.
Boom!
At the same time, a loud noise is heard.
Before he could even look back, something slimy covered Seun’s body.
“Grrr… … .”
First of all, I quickly left the place.
A bloody howl is heard from behind.
When I turned my head, I saw a bear that had completely recovered. No, it was even more ferocious than when I first saw it, with its claws as sharp as swords extending out.
A dark red liquid that was soaking wet in front of it.
Only then was Se-Woon able to figure out what the liquid covering his body was.
‘Ruin… … .’
Of course, it’s not dead.
Since Ruin is made of Seun’s divinity, he will not die even if his body explodes as long as his stigmata are intact.
‘Recovery ability? No, that’s… … .’
Se-un clearly cut the bear in two and knocked it down.
Even a troll known for its incredible resilience would be unable to regenerate its body in such an instant after being split in two.
Moreover, there was a blue aura that was now flowing out of him so softly that he could feel it.
Obvious.
That’s not the guy’s resilience or anything… … .
‘Is this the power of sloth?’
It was clear that he had been given power by Belphegor.
“Koooooooo!”
It seemed as if not only his size, but also all his physical abilities, such as strength and speed, had been amplified.
The long, sharp claws were surrounded by an aura that resembled black energy.
It was already a strong monster, but it felt like it had become twice as strong as before.
– The North Sea Sword’s Jay’s first skill, North Sea Ice Wave, is strengthened through internal energy.
– According to the secret of the Ice White Shingong, cold air is added to the martial arts.
As Seun swung his sword, a cold air surged through him, covering him.
A body that freezes in an instant.
however.
Bam!
The guy broke the ice and escaped simply with his physical strength.
It seems that this power does not increase resilience, as the wounds caused by the recoil from forcibly breaking the ice that had frozen the body still remain.
Boom!
Although it may not have been the case elsewhere, the terrain here was too unfavorable for Seun.
The most effective strategy against such a strong and large creature is to repeatedly hit and retreat in a wide space.
However, the passages in the labyrinth were too narrow.
Just by swinging his claws, half of the hallway became a hit zone.
When you are running at me on all fours, you have to give up running away and face it head on without moving.
‘Maybe I let my guard down too.’
I thought I had pushed forward properly from the beginning, but it seems I was too complacent even though I had heard in advance that my opponent felt Belphegor’s divinity.
“Come and join us.”
Swish.
The dark red liquid that had been spread out on the floor began to ripple and approach Seun.
As Seun slammed his sword into the floor, a dark red liquid stuck to the sword as if it was being absorbed.
Another way to use Ruin that I discovered while training in Jeheton. It was a method close to an enchantment that allowed me to put all of Ruin’s power into the sword.
Crunch.
“Koooooooo!”
I straightened my sword as I faced the guy running towards me as if he couldn’t control his strength.
Durandal, imbued with the power of Ruin, held his breath like a wolf just before a surprise attack.
The atmosphere around Seun was very subdued, in contrast to the front.
The moment the guy came right up to Seun’s nose, making the labyrinth thump loudly.
– The first skill of the Breaking Heaven Sword, Breaking Heaven, is strengthened through internal energy.
– The power of martial arts is strengthened according to the secret of the ultimate deep attack.
The background turns pitch black.
A bear with its shoulders wide open and about to swing its claws as if time had stopped.
And in the meantime, a crimson wolf revealed its claws from Seun’s sword.
Crunch-
The trajectory of the wolf’s slashing claws was drawn on a black background.
The space above and below the trajectory is misaligned, and the moment Seun is holding the moon.
Phew!
The bear’s body fell to the ground, once again split in half.
This time, he used his power of gluttony right away to ensure the guy’s death.
There was no greater power to confirm and ensure the death of an opponent.
– Preyed on the ‘Sloth Bear’.
– Absorbs nutrients to increase strength by 5 and stamina by 5.
It’s not a boss monster, but a guardian monster, and its total ability value has increased by 10.
Not only that, but the divinity of Belphegor that was in him was also absorbed into Seun’s stigmata.
Although it was an extremely small amount, Seun was satisfied enough. Divinity was a power that was difficult to accumulate.
‘It’s a lid… … .’
Seun raised his hand above the wall the bear was guarding.
The surrounding walls were covered in all sorts of scratches due to the aftermath of the battle, but this wall was the only one that was unscathed.
Looking at the vibration absorption, it seemed like it was incredibly thick.
Even if you are Seun, wouldn’t it be difficult to break this lid and get in?
A lid that cannot be broken by the player’s power even if its location is found.
Even if the guideposts on the journey had pointed here before the return, the door would never have opened.
Se-Woon, who thought like that, took something out of his subspace pocket.
Crunch.
A universal key obtained as a ranking reward in the tutorial.
If this lid is a concept of a ‘door’ symbolizing the entrance to something, it can be opened with a key.
Seun had already used this key to break down the crystal wall blocking the cave of Dionysus.
Kukuku-
As I turned the key, the wall that had been standing firm without any damage from any attack began to move slowly.
A staircase just big enough for one person to fit appeared in the open space.
– Discovered a hidden staircase in the 41st floor of the ordeal, the ‘Labyrinth of the Earth’.
– The exit does not match the difficulty level recommended by the tower.
– Are you sure you want to choose?
Warning signs keep popping up.
In the first place, this was a place where no one was allowed to visit or enter, and so it was natural to respect all of the player’s choices… no, it was natural for the indifferent tower to issue a warning.
But Seun’s steps did not stop.
As I went down the stairs through the message, the 42nd floor of the ordeal soon appeared.
The 42nd floor of trials.
The entire floor was a ‘water labyrinth’ covered in water and ice.
