173. Acceleration (3)
Cranky!
“I will definitely kill you in the name of this Kanizel!!”
The form of an ancient demon swells to a monstrous degree.
The sound of twisting muscles and the darkness enveloping the ancient demons, causing ferocity.
In terms of level, should I say that he is the weakest among the prospective apostles?
It was not an opponent that would come out near the entrance of the labyrinth.
That would be too… … .
‘It’s an enemy set to an impossible level to clear.’
With a body whose stats are less than 100, it will explode as soon as it touches the hand of an ancient demon.
Of course, with the <Vampire Exorcist> mythology, all of my stats have risen by +20, but… … .
To be honest, even this wasn’t enough.
‘I need to raise my stats a bit more.’
I immediately injected magical energy into the sword of the moon in my hand.
Chiriling… … !
「As a special effect of the Sword of the New Moon (C+), all of the user’s stats increase by +1.」
At the same time as the clear sound of small bells resounds, a little bit of strength is added to the body.
「By using the labyrinth exclusive item, 10 [MP] is consumed every minute.」
However, the reality is that even this small amount of power cannot be used with peace of mind.
‘With the [MP] I have, the time I can use the new moon sword is about 3 minutes… … .’
At least he was convinced that a long-term battle was impossible.
Without this small stat increase from the new moon sword, the odds of winning would drop significantly.
Even this is not the only problem.
‘[HP] is not enough.’
[HP], which had been consumed as a result of the twisting of blood before, was not filled up even though the body was restored.
In other words, it must mean that recovering [HP] is different from physical recovery… … .
This was the biggest problem.
[HP] is a number that proves your qualifications to stay in the labyrinth.
But what if you lose all those numbers?
‘Even if I’m injured enough to not die, if [HP] damage accumulates, I’ll be expelled from the labyrinth.’
As we have seen before, I will be reduced to particles of light, saying that I will become a food of the world tree.
It was a situation that had to be stopped.
‘It’s really ridiculously out of balance… … .’
It’s not enough to kill instantly just by brushing your fingernails, so even if you don’t die, you can’t get out of the labyrinth?
I put a faint smile on my lips at the viciousness that matched the Lunatic difficulty level.
It’s a F*cking difficulty that doesn’t allow even the slightest mistake… … .
‘That’s why it’s more fun.’
Rather, it felt like a stage where I could measure how much I had grown since I was at such a disadvantage.
So I couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
“What are you laughing at? … ! bloke! I’ll burst it just like the other bugs!”
Of course, to an ancient demon, my laughter seemed to be of a rather irritating kind.
Well, it wasn’t something I had to worry about, so I immediately turned my whole body into magical powers and strongly activated the blood hole.
‘I have to write everything I can.’
Kugugu-!
Red steam rose from her body, and her vision was dyed red as if a red filter had been applied.
It was proof that he had operated the blood drill to the limit.
In the magic circuit, a bloody aura that was incomparable to each other was moving in place of magic.
The divine power dwelling in his heart strengthened the <Vampire Exorcist> and shook his body like a raging wave.
But it’s not power yet.
「The power of ‘Heolcheon Deep Gong’ is strongly activated.」
The power enhancement ability that arose when the divine power reached A-class strengthened the blood celestial hole in a form close to evolution.
and… … .
“Write, ha.”
Unable to cope with the boiling water, a red mist flowed out of his mouth like a kettle spouting steam.
The preparations are now complete.
「The skill ‘Focus on Combat’ is activated.」
With the battle concentration activated right away, I strongly drew out my will… … .
smoothly… … !
Then, a large amount of blood spread around me floated in the air in droplets, and then welled up at me.
To be precise, it was concentrated on the sword of the new moon that I was holding.
Now, the blue sword was dyed red.
Shall we say that it is an imitation of <Enhanced Blood>, one of the skills inherent in the Blood Demon Sword?
Of course, it’s not a very efficient technique, but… … .
That is, under the premise that it will be used in this state to the end.
「The exclusive effect of the power skill skill ‘Soul Source Demonic Sword’, ‘Doubling’ is activated.」
「Consumes divine power to increase the power of Power Skills [4] times.」
The moment when the sword had the strength to split a mountain.
Kwaaang-!

The blood-soaked sword lashed out like a whip.
***
Among the ancient demons, Kanizl was close to the elite.
Compared to other demons, he was born with more demonic energy.
Thanks to that, he was favored even by the evil spirits, and he had no doubt that one day he would earn a status close to that of a reserve apostle.
however… … .
‘Crazy monster bastard… … !!’
Now he was feeling the danger of death for the human he had regarded as a bug all his life.
That would be too… … .
‘How can that be a human being!’
This is because the humans he currently has as enemies are humans who have given up on being human.
Han Seong-yoon, who laughed silently and wielded a blood-red blade like a whip, felt like a monster to Kanizl.
Most of the humans he’d seen didn’t fight so horribly.
Few remained sane and fought against an ancient demon that could be killed in an instant.
It wasn’t that he had such a lofty belief or sincere belief that he was able to control his mind like that.
‘Crazy… … ! hey, i’m enjoying it! The situation itself… … !’
Canizel felt a chill.
An intense divinity comparable to that of an evil god is divinity, but… … .
There was a bar that I realized while fighting directly like this.
Han Seong-yoon had the power to kill Carnizle even if he didn’t have divinity.
Kagagak… … !
The bloody black air that stretched like a whip felt like a line of death.
Even Canizel couldn’t help breaking out in a cold sweat at that power that tore the space inside the labyrinth like paper.
If he gets hit even once by the blood-red sword, a series of blows will fly right in and tear his body apart.
If there is hope in this situation, it is that Han Seong-yoon’s power is not infinite.
and… … .
‘one! You just need to get one right! Even that crazy person can’t escape the law of the labyrinth!’
Han Seong-yoon is a challenger who is still at the beginning of the labyrinth, so he is not very strong physically.
Relying on that hope, Carnizl pushed himself like a whip and increased his attack speed.
Let’s go… … !!
Carnizzle’s claws were lengthened by the darkness and whipped around like a storm.
but… … .
‘Damn it… … ! why! Why can’t the attack reach me… … !’
His blow did not reach Han Seong-yoon and scattered to the wrong place.
“Quaaaaagh! Ah, the devil is mad and running amok… … ! I, everyone, must run away!”
“Oh, wizard! No wizards!? Even with a shield! Keu, keuheouk!”
“I need to get as far away from them as possible… … ! If you stay by my side, everyone gets caught up in it!”
Challengers gathered in the cavity suffered damage such as being killed or injured.
Shall we say that a shrimp’s back explodes in a whale fight?
However, it was a situation that angered Canizel to the point where his blood gushed backwards.
It was worth it.
「The power of ‘Heolcheon Deep Gong’ is strongly activated.」
For Han Seong-yoon, the challenger’s blood is the fuel for recovery.
Han Seong-yoon, who immediately absorbed the blood from the challengers, began to wield bloody swords more violently than before.
Watching the sight, Kanizl felt despair.
“O evil god… … .”
He wondered if he could be called an ancient demon now.
A human being unlike that human was more suited to evil than anyone else.
In order not to lose his faithfulness, Kanizel thought while quietly reciting a prayer.
“Boo, please give me the courage to go through this hardship… … .”
Only then… … .
Wouldn’t it be the demon king who is said to be the king of all evil?
***
「The labyrinth achievement ‘Incarnation of Evil (Unique)’ has been achieved.」
「You will get +15 labyrinth points.」
「The skill ‘Manmaji (B-)’ is created.」
During the battle, an achievement was suddenly achieved.
‘what?’
Manmaji King (萬魔之王).
I even got an unknown skill called the king of all demons… … .
I didn’t have time to think deeply about what this was.
Whoa!
It was because of the strong wind that caused Carnizle’s shadow-like nails to grow long.
“The skin was torn by the sharp wind.”
「Consumes 10 [HP].」
This was a very big problem.
‘I never thought I’d lose [HP] even if the wind brushed against my skin… … .’
So far, I’ve lost almost half of my [HP] even though I’ve never been hit by Canizel’s attacks.
cause?
Simple.
The wind caused by Carnizzle slightly tore the skin, and the [HP] damage judgment came out.
Of course, he exploited the blood from the challengers with the blood drill and instantly regenerated the wounds.
Body regeneration does not lead to recovery of [HP], so the [HP] that disappeared did not return.
“… … .”
Maybe because they knew that Kanizl would die if hit, no matter how much he wielded the bloody sword, he wouldn’t hit him… … .
‘If this happens, I will fall first.’
Even [HP] wasn’t the only thing that disappeared.
“There is no [MP] left to use the Labyrinth exclusive item.”
「The New Moon Sword (C+) exclusive effect is disabled.」
Time passed quickly and there was not even [MP] left to use the item.
In addition, less than half of the divine power remaining in the heart is now left.
Now was the time to take drastic measures.
“… … .”
After wielding a bloody blade to keep the ancient demon in check, I focused my mind.
And soon, I contemplated the inside of the body.
In general, I got away from feeling the flow of magical power and the upheaval of the divine, and I remembered it clearly enough to draw a picture.
At that, I drool for a while.
‘Is it possible?’
This body was too weak to use a technique that could instantly kill an ancient demon.
There was a possibility that his heart could not withstand the high level of technology and burst.
but… … .
‘I’m not in a position to choose.’
If you can’t do it anyway, it’s the same as dying.
I sent the mana processed by my will to my heart.
Subsequently, the magical power containing the will changed the divine power in the heart.
One of the techniques I realized during the battle with the Heavenly Demon.
‘Heart sword.’
The technology that allows you to use divine power independently has created an imaginary blade.
But it was still not enough.
‘We need to raise the precision of the technique.’
「The skill ‘Focus on Strike’ is activated.」
「The precision and destructive power of the technique used for the next blow will increase.」
Concentrate on blows.
The skills obtained on the 1st floor of the labyrinth constituted the soul sword in a form close to completion… … .
Soon, as soon as I aimed the finished sword at the ancient demon, it was immediately ejected.
Kwajik… … !
“Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”
It’s a mind sword that I couldn’t detect unless I used the Sasin’an.
So there was no way the ancient demon could escape, and the ancient demon’s right arm was cut off.
and… … .
Awesome!
Without missing the opportunity, I immediately cut off the head of the ancient demon with a blood-red sword.
「You have absorbed the spirit of the ancient demon ‘Kanizzle’.」
「Skill has increased by 47%.」
「The mastery of the unique attribute ‘Necromancy’ has reached 100%.」
「The grade of the unique attribute ‘Necromancy’ has risen by one level.」
They said it was an ancient demon, so I wondered if it would survive even if its head was cut… … .
Well, seeing him die right away without that kind of thing, I was a bit depressed.
‘Well, after being cut by the sword and decapitated by the sword, it’s even weirder to come back to life.’
Even <Vampire Exterminator> would have been impossible to regenerate as much as it was used.
But that was only for a moment.
「You have completed the hidden quest “Ancient Demon Subjugation (Unique)”.」
「Additional compensation will be paid accordingly.」
Suddenly, a message popped up saying that additional compensation would be given… … .
「From now on, you can restore one additional ability each time you go down the hierarchy.」
Soon after that message, a portal opened above the altar in the center of the common room.
「Condition satisfied.」
“All challengers on the 2nd floor of the Giant Tree Labyrinth, [Whispers of the Evil God] are eligible to go downstairs.”
I immediately sensed it.
“… … .”
From now on, the fact that the labyrinth attack will accelerate.
and… … .
“It’s a benefit beyond imagination… … ?”
That I am the one who will reach the deepest part of this labyrinth.
