162. Giant Tree Labyrinth (1)
Heavenly Demon Body.
This time, there was little information about the special authority that was absorbed by killing the Heavenly Demon.
All I know is that this authority is the best ability the Heavenly Demon has… … .
He only guessed that the Heavenly Demon Regiment was probably the ability to increase his physical ability itself.
however… … .
‘Acquiring divinity as potential… … ?’
After swallowing the blood ring with the steel eating skill, the message that popped up changed my mind.
Perhaps this authority had value beyond simply strengthening the body.
But at the same time, questions arose.
What is the heavenly demon body, so that it can even learn the divinity of <Yeokcheon>?
After thinking about the questions that popped into my head for a moment, a new message appeared in my field of vision.
“Complete absorption.”
It was a message to let them know that the iron meal had completely absorbed the hemorrhoids.
“Muscle strength increases by 1.”
“Your physical strength increases by 1.”
“Magic power increases by 1.”
「Discharges 10.8% of the accumulated turbidity in the body.」
As the ability level rises, the fatigue accumulated in the body is washed away a little… … .
“Two… … !”
As soon as I vomited black liquid from the feeling of a foreign body rising from my throat, a new phrase came to mind.
「By absorbing the blood ring, the hidden function of the special power ‘Heavenly Demon Regiment’ is revealed.」
and… … .
「Divine <Reversal> is replaced with potential.」
Hard… … !
An aura close to gray suddenly emerged from his heart, and was soon consumed by the divinity of transcendence.
The gray divinity itself is now colorless… … .
It was not difficult to notice that it was asleep inside the Transcendental Divinity.
Like the divinity brought about by the qualities of a god of death, <Yeokcheon> also dwells in the transcendental divinity as a potential.
But the miracle did not end there.
“Acquire the qualifications for opening the upper tier war.”
Ugh-!
A strange sensation as if the crown of my head were splitting came over me.
「Acquire qualifications for opening before suspension.」
The divine power inside the body resonated, and the magic circuits around the heart were concentrated and reconstructed.
‘What the hell is this… … .’
To be honest, it was hard to know exactly what had changed.
But one thing was certain.
“Are you saying it’s not an S+ level power for nothing… … ?”
The Cheonma Jiche is a power with potential that is not light.
I closed my eyes for a moment and focused my mind, and soon noticed that there was a new technology available.
as soon as… … .
「The authority ‘divine power’ is activated.」
「Magic power is purely disintegrated and converted into divine power.」
“What kind of crazy technology is this… … .”
It was possible to convert the divine power, which was not possible when the information was obtained from Seindal in the past.
When I looked at why this was suddenly possible, I immediately knew the answer.
‘Did the Heavenly Demon change the structure of the magic circuit, and that made it easier to disassemble the magic power?’
It was caused by the magic circuit that was reconstructed at the same time as acquiring the qualifications to open before stopping.
Only then did I realize why the Heavenly Demon was able to use the Spirit Sword even though its divinity was sealed.
“It wasn’t the divinity in the heart, but it was dissolving the mana and turning it into divine power… … .”
Although the heavenly demon body was sealed, the magic circuit reconstructed into the heavenly demon body was not sealed.
The Heavenly Demon created a spirit sword by converting inner energy into divinity through a magic circuit.
‘It’s a really ridiculous power.’
It was absurd.
Let someone live or die. Even if you use the divinity in your heart, it was extremely difficult to use a heart sword.
Is it that the Heavenly Demon disassembled the magical energy in the body and used it as a mind sword?
‘It’s not that I can’t sympathize with what Dam Chun-wu said… … .’
If the Cheonma Jiche is a talent, she definitely possessed tremendous genius.
It was also a very fraudulent talent that could change mana into divine power.
Of course, now that fraudulent talent was mine, but I couldn’t help but feel the bitter aftertaste.
Just when I was feeling a bit despondent, a system message suddenly appeared.
「The number of survivors remaining in Heaven is updated.」
「Currently, there is only one survivor left in Cheonmu High School.」
Even when he killed the Heavenly Demon, he remained silent, not reacting… … .
Was it a system that updated the number of survivors at regular intervals?
「Condition satisfied.」
“I have passed through the Heavenly Road of Heavenly Armed Forces.”

The message of breaking through the gateway, which did not appear even after killing the Heavenly Demon, came to mind now.
and… … .
“Pass through the final gateway to gain the right to enter the library.”
“When you leave the library, you can reach the end of the Thousand Arms.”
Kugu Palace… … !
The floor in the middle of the cave suddenly opened, revealing a seemingly endless spiral staircase beneath it.
“Unnecessarily majestic, but incredibly majestic… … .”
It’s a god anyway, so hiding the library right underneath it would have been enough to protect it.
The library was hidden even while arranging the stairs leading to such a deep basement… … .
It was at this point that I wondered how much of a great thing he had hidden and why he was so wrapped up.
‘It’s the martial arts of the lightsaber… … .’
As soon as my curiosity came up, I cut off my thoughts and fell right into the space at the center of the stairs.
There is no need to walk down the stairs.
Hung!
The tailcoat on my body fluttered loudly and the noise cutting through the air rang in my ears… … .
It was a speed that I thought was several times better than walking down the stairs quickly.
It took a while to fall as it was.
Wow!
Soon after landing on the floor, I looked around as I let go of the shock.
Since it is a place where you can learn the martial arts of the lightsaber system, I thought there were many mysterious structures… … .
‘It’s cleaner than I thought.’
The library itself was ordinary, as if it were a surprisingly well-organized library.
The smell of paper that tickles your nose, the slightly dusty bookshelf, even the books arranged in order… … .
First of all, I felt sure that it was a proper library.
After looking around the library for a while, I picked up any book that was piled up around me, opened it, and looked through it.
Most of them had titles that I didn’t even know what they were written on anyway, so it didn’t seem to matter much.
and.
“… … .”
Looking through the book, I soon realized a very serious problem.
as soon as… … .
“What the hell did you write… … ?”
Even with the correction of the system given by the tower, it is difficult to properly understand the martial arts composition.
‘The twelve meridians, the eight meridians… … . I don’t know what the heck he wrote… … .’
Concepts unknown to those not from that dimension were rampant in the book.
‘Did you shed jinki with Yongcheon blood? What are you talking about?’
For a few minutes, I looked at various books while making a sound of pain, then closed the book and put away my lingering feelings.
widely!
“I don’t know.”
The black ones are letters, and the white ones are paper.
Other than that, I didn’t quite understand half of what was written in this book.
I tried to apply the concepts I knew as much as possible according to the context, but I couldn’t.
So, I left out all the letters and looked through the pictures of the human body in the middle, and used my magic power roughly.
And I frowned at the results that followed.
Ugh-!
“… … Why did you write this with such difficulty?”
It was easier to learn martial arts by looking at the attached picture and moving.
Of course, it was a guess, so I doubted whether it was right to learn martial arts properly, but… … .
―The Heavenly Demon is also the Heavenly Demon, but you, too, are terribly talented… … .
From Damcheonwu’s quiet muttering, it was clear that this was the correct answer.
Charleuk!
I quickly began to learn martial arts while looking through all kinds of books.
‘Are you using the original qi by condensing it like beads on the soles of your feet and rolling it… … .’
‘Why did you have to use your magic so hard? Was there a need to tweak the way the circuit works?’
‘Award? Ah, a sub-version of aerial maneuvers. It just needs to harden the surface of the water like a scaffolding with magical power… … .’
And then, before I knew it, I read the entire bookshelf.
As I put the last book I read back to its original place, a message came to my mind.
「Accomplished the achievement ‘Proficiency in footsteps’.」
“Agility increases by 3.”
“… … !?”
I trembled at the absurdly high level of my abilities in an instant.
‘I’ve only seen all the bookshelves, but my agility has risen so much… … ?’
why… … .
“Is this martial arts? … ?”
I felt like I knew why the Murim people I had seen so far worshiped martial arts so fanatically.
It’s just that I’ve only read one bookshelf, but my stats have risen so much… … .
“I’m quite looking forward to this.”
I wondered how much he would have grown after conquering this library.
***
Looking at the martial arts books scattered around the library became a tedious task.
I understood it roughly by looking at the pictures, so I couldn’t even understand a book without pictures, and because of that, I had to go around various bookshelves and learn martial arts until achievements were achieved.
But the performance was also excellent.
「You have achieved the achievement ‘Swordsmanship Mastery’.」
“Muscle strength increases by 3.”
「You achieved the achievement ‘Kunbeop Mastery’… … .」
“Your physical strength increases by 3… … .」
「Accomplished the achievement ‘Proficiency in each method’… … .」
“Agility rises by 3… … .」
If something like an ability copy bug existed, would it be like this?
A smile formed at the corners of his mouth at the achievements that were achieved one after another just by looking at the secret level on the bookshelf and demonstrating martial arts.
“I can’t believe I was able to eat this raw ability… … .”
Just as happiness comes at the end of suffering, all kinds of rewards followed after defeating the powerful enemy called the Heavenly Horse.
Of course, by the time I read all the bookshelves in the library, there were no more achievements left to accomplish… … .
It didn’t matter.
It’s because the ability level itself has been raised to the point where it’s not regrettable anyway.
Even though most of them don’t seem to be very useful, I was able to find several martial arts that could be used separately during battle.
‘Well, this is also a small income.’
There were no complaints.
only… … .
‘But it doesn’t look like a martial art that most lightsabers would have used in the mainstream.’
I felt like there was nothing to be said for the martial arts of the lightsaber system in this place.
Of course, even if there was a martial art of the lightsaber system, I didn’t think I would learn it passionately… … .
I couldn’t help but feel that I was deceived by the exaggerated advertisement, even if it was just a little bit.
But now was not the time to lament the regrets.
“… … .”
It was because there was a black door at the end of the hallway in the middle of the library where you could go to and from the bookshelves.
Without thinking too deeply, I knew what it was.
‘The end of Heaven’s High School, as the system said, is probably over there.’
There was a place to meet the end of the ordeal.
Now that he had gone through all the martial arts secrets in the library, it was time to move on.
‘Well, in the first place, it was more like an ability level increase event rather than properly learning martial arts.’
As soon as I finished thinking, I stood and walked down the central aisle… … .
I immediately pulled the handle and opened the black door at the end of the road.
OK… … .
“Congratulations, you have cleared the 17th floor of the Tower of Trials.”
「As a breakthrough reward, ‘Great Delight (S+)’ will be sent to your inventory.」
「Acquired “110,000 points” as a breakthrough reward.」
「You acquired ‘5,500 SP’ as a breakthrough reward.」
「You acquired ‘5,500 SP’ as an additional breakthrough reward.」
“As an additional breakthrough reward, ‘Hundred Years Snow Ginseng (B+)’ will be sent to your inventory.”
“Go to the waiting room.”
As expected, the message that the ordeal was overcome immediately appeared.
“The lightsaber is looking at you.”
together… … .
“Didn’t you lie that you would give me your martial arts…? … .”
In the center of the blackened space beyond the black door was a brightly lit book.
It was also floating in the air so that anyone could see its identity.
Instead of going straight into the portal, I strode forward, snatched the book, and opened it.
but… … .
〔 〕
There was nothing written in the book.
Even when I tried to use the Hwaryong’s Eye, it was not identified as an item, let alone a hidden letter.
“hmm… … .”
Looking at the outside of the book, there was no title, so it seemed that the words were revealed only when the conditions were met.
just as expected… … .
[Because everything is the same as the front and the back]
As I opened the book and looked at it, the letters appeared blurry on the white paper.
[When harmony is achieved, the way will open]
At this point, even if you don’t know, it’s a condition that you can’t know.
“In the end, it’s a blatant divinity absorption appeal.”
When you absorb the divine <Harmony>, you will be qualified to learn this martial art.
Of course, I don’t know if this martial art is worth that much, but it probably doesn’t have any content at all.
Otherwise, this book would not have been used to induce divinity absorption.
However, instead of absorbing divinity as written in the book, I put the book itself into my inventory.
I had no intention of conforming to this guidebook anyway, and I intended to see it only after acquiring the sacred <Harmony> later.
「The lightsaber system respects your choice.」
Well, it seems that the lightsaber didn’t expect to be caught in this judo right from the start.
At that, I quietly smiled and approached the portal.
Then, he said goodbye to the lightsaber as if in a whisper.
“Then let’s go.”
It’s a book that I’ll see later anyway, so I didn’t regret it.
at last… … .
“Go to the waiting room.”
The day will come when even the divinity of the lightsaber system will be mine.
***
waiting room.
“You have entered the waiting room on the 18th floor.”
I returned to the stone chamber, which now felt like home.
The accumulated fatigue in the whole body was blown away in an instant, and the spirit that had been pushed to the limit recovered a little.
As a result, fatigue rose in my body, but I had no intention of resting.
transcendent divinity.
Not to mention the ability possessed by the divinity acquired in this 17th floor trial.
It was because it was an intention to find out in detail what the power of deification is different from apostleization.
It was really a layer that gained a lot, so it was a point where there were many things to check.
but… … .
“The number of people who have broken through the 15th floor in the Earth dimension has exceeded 1,000.”
As a result, there was no time to adjust the power.
「Condition satisfied.」
「All official climbing dimensions have exceeded 1,000 people who have broken through the 15th floor.」
“The Tower of Trials is holding a joint event for all formal climbing dimensions.”
It was a message I had never seen before.
“… … .”
Hosting a joint event at the official climbing level?
‘I’ve never had anything like this before… … .’
It was to the point where I felt my head freeze in a situation that I had never heard or seen.
However, before he could grasp the changed situation, a new message surfaced.
“A giant tree labyrinth will appear in all official climbing dimensions.”
giant tree labyrinth.
Is it a labyrinth based on a giant tree?
“[Very important perks] will be given to challengers who clear the giant tree labyrinth.”
I don’t know what it is… … .
“※caution※”
“The Giant Tree Labyrinth is a self-selection event, and you cannot participate in the event unless the challengers form a team.”
“It can be a competition between different dimensions, so please be fully aware of it before participating.”
It seemed that the Tower of Trials was hosting a huge event.
It’s also very interesting.
