150. 17th floor (2)
“You have entered the waiting room on the 17th floor.”
「All stat restrictions are lifted, and stat increase and power acquisition are applied correctly.」
As soon as I returned to the waiting room, I felt a new vitality in my body.
Achievement rewards obtained during the trials on the 16th floor and permanent stat increase were applied.
A sense of liberation came as the restrictions on my abilities disappeared, but that didn’t last long either.
That would be too… … .
“Heir of the Dragon God”
「Rating: S」
「An achievement achieved when learning the skill of the Dragon God.」
「As an achievement reward, acquire the authority ‘Dragon Humanization’.」
It was because he was interested in the achievements he had achieved in the 16th floor ordeal.
It’s an achievement that the gods react to, so I even used the achievement view function for the first time in a while to look at the achievement standards… … .
‘What the hell is this?’
In the criteria for achieving the achievement, only the mysterious word “Dragon God” was written, and there was no explanation other than that.
It was hard to understand why these achievements exist.
Quite a bit too.
‘… … Wasn’t the tower somewhat hostile to the gods?’
I wondered why the tower had created such an achievement.
No, it was difficult to guess the Tower’s intentions in the first place… … .
Now that I have achieved the unknown achievement of being the successor of the Dragon God, my mind is complicated.
‘… … Like the god of proof, maybe the tower isn’t blindly hostile to the god.’
However, there is nothing to improve by worrying, so I am just satisfied with the compensation.
But I found something good.
‘The tower is not hostile, and there is a god that even creates achievements.’
It is said that there are not only authors like the god of battle who have shown a hostile attitude towards the current tower.
That fact helped me to put my mind at ease.
It was worth it.
If a deity like the god of battle recklessly invaded every trial, I wouldn’t be able to survive either.
If you don’t know what authority the opponent’s godhead has, and even if you have the opposite s*x, your life will fly away like a candle blown out by the wind.
However, not all gods are like gods of battle, and since the tower protects me to some extent, it’s just that I don’t die in vain.
Suddenly, I remembered what the hero of the destroyed world said at the end.
——Because you are one of the attractive candidates that TOP is watching.
‘candidate.’
He spoke to me as if he deserved a position.
Presumably, being a candidate for the tower’s attention could have been about ascending to godhood.
It was not an unfounded speculation.
‘Acquisition of divine power, encountering the gods, and gradually changing the direction of growth.’
Even the qualities of a Shinigami were blooming, and now I was no different from being half-human.
… … If the tower designated me as a candidate, and if that candidate exists because of the tower’s purpose, the story becomes a little more interesting.
Growth, reward, competition.
As I recalled the gateways I had passed so far, a puzzle began to come together in my head.
The trial of the tower is to filter out the challengers and select those who can rise to the level of divinity.
Those who have passed the process and gained experience are designated as candidates and encouraged to grow as gods.
It’s not that it doesn’t make sense at all.
But somehow I felt that I was lacking a bit.
‘I think there’s something more… … .’
Of course, this time, too, no clear conclusions could be drawn at once.
In the end, I put aside my worries and checked the newly acquired reward.
‘It’s not too late to guess the tower’s intentions after becoming stronger.’
First of all, he absorbed the command acquired in the previous ordeal.
「Absorbs the spirit of the demon lord ‘Raymond’ to permanently increase stats.」
“Muscle strength has increased by 3.”
“Agility has increased by 2.”
“Your physical strength has increased by 2.”
「Magic power has increased by 6.」
“Durability has increased by 4.”
Unfortunately, the skill was not absorbed… … .
“I have captured the divinity in the spirit of the demon king ‘Raymond’.”
「The authority ‘Divine Power’ is activated by satisfying the conditions.」
「Attempt to extract divinity.」
At least the level of divinity was extracted.
「Sacred extraction successful.」
However, the divinity level did not rise this time either.
It was only for a moment that I felt regret.
Immediately brushing off my emotions, I examined the newly acquired authority.
“Yonginhwa.”
When I directly recited the name of the authority, a reaction occurred immediately.

「The special power ‘Dragon Manification’ is activated.」
「For 10 minutes, the total amount of magical power held is doubled.」
“For 10 minutes, some of the characteristics of the dragon race are reproduced.”
「For 10 minutes, all interference and operational abilities related to magic increase.」
Wood-duck, wood-duck… … !
As the body itself changed, the mana that stayed in the lower abdomen increased like a snowball.
“I didn’t think it was possible, but this Yonginhwa was really Yonginhwa… … .”
The surprise was short-lived.
After regaining my composure, I quickly bought a hand mirror at the store and checked my appearance.
“This isn’t some kind of lizard man… … .”
Its eyes were split like those of a reptile, and two small horns grew on its head.
Not only that, but the body also changed, and the senses of the whole body were all strengthened beyond imagination.
To the point where I even think it’s serious.
but… … .
‘It’s good.’
The sense of feeling everything clearly showed a new world.
He was able to know everything around him without using magic or Fire Dragon Eyes, and above all, his ability to control and operate magic seemed to have improved a lot.
In the message, the ability to interfere with magical power also increased, but it was not known whether this was actually the case.
‘I can’t help it because there’s nothing to recognize.’
Even though it only lasted 10 minutes, it was definitely not a bad power.
Even this wasn’t the only ability.
Roaring!
“… … It’s ridiculous.”
He said he reproduced some of the dragon’s characteristics, but now he could even breathe fire from his mouth.
Of course, the mana had to be consumed, but the mana box itself had doubled anyway.
It wasn’t even a level of concern.
‘I think it’ll be a bit strong if I really breathe fire.’
Since then, I have been looking into some functions, and the tolerance has been released before I knew it.
「The authority ‘Dragon Manification’ is deactivated.」
「You cannot use that authority for 8 hours.」
However, the cooldown given was a bit long.
‘I can only use it once in battle.’
Of course, it wasn’t a big deal, so it didn’t matter.
As I was feeling the afterglow of Yonginhwa for a while, the Blood Heaven Demon Sword that was wearing around my waist suddenly howled.
—… … Damn, my head is so damn dizzy.
It was Damcheonwoo.
-Are you all right now?
I immediately sent a telegram to him, and Tan Tianyu immediately replied.
—… … Yes, I don’t know what you did, but the bowl of this sword that holds the main throne has become stronger. At least the aftereffects of the previous battle won’t remain.
-Is that so.
—… … no, wait. That’s not all. Now there will be no mishaps where the sword cannot handle the ceremony. I don’t know what the heck he did, but he got better.
―The item has been given an absolutely indestructible property.
―How could that be… … . No, no. What would you do if you asked a guy who fights openly with God? At least I know you’re crazy beyond imagination.
Listening to Dam Chun-wu’s sigh, I was silent for a moment, then opened my mouth.
“… … Do you have a lot of questions?”
– You’re asking something obvious. From the information I heard about you before, I heard that you are a mere 10th floor challenger. It is also from a very small minor dimension.
“… … .”
―However, for a challenger from a minor dimension, he is stronger than you can imagine and is more entangled with divine beings than necessary. So here’s what I found out.
“What did you find out?”
―It must be one of the crazy candidates chosen by the tower. That’s why it’s very intertwined with divine beings. I thought of the phoenix as a sparrow, so this is what I thought wrong.
It was as if he knew in detail about a being like me.
I tried to open my mouth quickly without holding back my curiosity, but… … .
Even faster than that, the Blood Heaven demon sword hummed, and Damcheonwoo’s words continued.
―You must also have a lot of questions now. What are the candidates, what is the purpose of the tower, and why are the gods holding you in check? However, I cannot live up to your expectations.
“… … Why? Weren’t you a challenger who went over the 40th floor in your lifetime? Wouldn’t you be able to answer my question too?”
—… … Even if I die because I failed in the challenge, I don’t want my soul to disappear.
“Is it because of the tower’s sanctions?”
-Yes. Even though I know a lot, the information I can tell you is limited. It cannot be heard by those who do not deserve it.
“Is that so… … .”
I was devastated.
I didn’t think it was possible, but not only the manager, but also Damcheonwoo, who dwells in the blood demon sword, couldn’t escape the information control.
However, in the midst of feeling disappointed about it, Dam Chun-wu sent a telephony as if not to worry.
―However, if I could tell you one thing, you wouldn’t have to doubt the purpose of the tower or the meaning of being a candidate.
“What on earth do you mean to trust the tower?”
―It’s not that you believe in the tower, it’s that you don’t doubt its purpose or its candidate. Now or later, the tower will only want one thing from you.
“What is that… … .”
―Repeatedly becoming stronger, and one day there will be no opponents. That’s all the Tower wants from you and the challenger.
“… … .”
I had nothing to say.
In fact, the beginning was the selection of the tower, but after that, I climbed the tower with my own will.
The tower gave out rewards to the challenger as they climbed, and I was obsessed with it.
Without bothering to trust Dam Chun-wu’s words, he could see that his words were not wrong.
-You should know. You were able to come this far not only because of your own efforts, but also because of the opportunity given by the tower.
“I know enough. As far as the tower doesn’t harm me.”
—… … I understand quickly. Ah, haha, if it’s at the level of being designated as a candidate at the 10th floor level, there’s no choice but to improve your understanding.
“So I won’t ask now. It will be enough to dispel the doubt after it becomes stronger.”
—… … Huh. It’s a pity that I’m not a child of the same town. If you were from the Moorim dimension, you would surely have become the number one person in the world at the time.
Damcheonwu dropped the blade of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword as if he liked it.
―My heart was in sync.
and.
―What is important about the origin of the dimension, and what is important about the form of the relationship.
Then, Dam Chun-wu spoke in an excited voice.
―The important thing is that it’s okay if you agree with each other.
“… … What nonsense is that?”
-I’m going to teach you a lot of things.
“What are you going to teach when information is limited? … .”
―Information related to the tower is strictly limited. However, it is okay to tell you the information about the various dimensions and the things I learned before coming to the tower.
I opened my eyes to him.
Being able to obtain information about other dimensions was truly a surprise.
It is because the information from another dimension that cannot be obtained without consuming the right to question is like a gimmick that cannot be obtained to me.
But now it’s different.
If Damcheonwu can tell us about the other dimension, it means that we don’t have to worry about such information.
– So I’ll ask.
However, Dam Chun-wu’s proposal did not stop there.
―Before I entered the tower, I was the head of an organization called the Blood Demon Religion.
He slowly floated into the air, shaking the blade hummingly with a voice as if appreciating it.
―I have learned the new technology there, and I thought I would tell you about it.
Since the restrictions of the tower are only related to the tower, there were no restrictions on telling him about the skills he had learned before entering the tower.
―In short, I wanted to make you my disciple.
The skills learned by the challenger who reached the 40th floor will never be useless.
I instinctively noticed that.
―Wouldn’t you like to learn the Blood Demon Art?
A magical red aura was flowing from the Blood Heaven Demon Sword.
