177. Deep part (3)
Hwaaaak-!
「We will reveal all perks that can be purchased.」
After the dazzling light flashed as if it would block your vision… … .
Soon, four different perks appeared on the cards in the perk shop.
「[Category: Skill] Exclusive Skill Book (SSS+) ─ [Description: Generates an exclusive skill optimized exclusively for the user] ─ [Price: 100 points]」
「[Classification: Weapon] Exclusive Spell Ring (SSS+) ─ [Description: Creates an exclusive spell optimized exclusively for the user] ─ [Price: 100 points]」
「[Classification: Power] Power Evolution Potion (SSS+) ─ [Description: Randomly selects and evolves one of the possessed Powers] ─ [Price: 100 points]」
「[Classification: Holy] Absolute Preservation (SSS+) ─ [Explanation: Never lose an ability once possessed under any circumstances] ─ [Price: 100 points]」
After seeing the perks that came to mind, I felt a thrilling sensation rise up all over my body.
“… … .”
It was worth it.
‘All SSS+ level privileges… … .’
Currently, all the perks from the random card boasted the highest rating.
To be honest, I even used the warrior’s blessing, but I never imagined that I would get such good results.
Even the highest grade, the contents were incredibly outstanding.
All these perks were not available even in the Tower.
‘Exclusive skills, exclusive spells, and power evolution are all amazing.’
I have never seen it before, and I will never see it again.
Not to mention exclusive skills and exclusive spells, it’s to the point where I can’t even figure out what power evolution really is.
However, if there is one perk that can be said to be the best among them, it must be this one.
‘Absolute retention.’
I don’t know if it’s a skill or authority, or if it’s something else classified as a perk… … .
The ability it had was very attractive to me.
‘It’s important that you never lose an ability once you possess it.’
After entering the giant tree labyrinth, I realized that I lost my ability.
The difference in skill is also the difference in skill, but the ability given by the tower cannot be ignored.
An ability such as a skill or authority determines the outcome of a battle just by its existence.
The skill with which it is used is only a secondary matter.
‘The reason I’ve overwhelmingly defeated the enemies so far is actually thanks to the Power Skill.’
Therefore, the perks of absolute preservation were appealing to me.
together… … .
‘Even if there is absolute preservation, the abilities obtained in the labyrinth can be taken outside, right?’
You should be able to bring the various abilities that are only used inside the labyrinth to the outside.
The benefits of the Absolute Preservation Perk itself were clear.
only… … .
‘But the price is a problem.’
It’s just that we currently don’t have enough points to buy absolute preservation on hand.
Even if you look at other perks, not absolute preservation, it boasted an absolute preservation level price.
In other words, it was safe to say that there was nothing I could buy out of these four perks.
‘The perks are ridiculously expensive, so there’s nothing I can buy.’
After entering the giant tree labyrinth, I thought I had collected various achievements, but this wasn’t enough… … .
But I wasn’t disappointed.
“… … .”
Rather, at this point, should I say that my curiosity is piqued?
‘The total score required is 400 points… … ?’
How many achievements must I collect to buy these perks… … .
“I think it might be worth a try.”
It was a little, but it seemed to be expected.
***
Is it because of the purpose of collecting 400 labyrinth points and buying all the perks?
Unlike before, when I only thought of reaching the depths quickly, I felt a surge of heat in my heart.
‘I have to achieve as many achievements as possible.’
From now on, it’s time to sincerely sweep the achievements.
“Now let’s finish the maintenance here and go downstairs.”
In response, I quickly and silently recommended the team members, who were immersed in maintenance, to go downstairs.
Of course, the team did not readily accept the recommendation.
“Why don’t we think a little more carefully about the skill tree? Aren’t the other challengers still on top anyway?”
“that’s right. This is because that person is too hasty. At least a few buff-type skills are not going to help.”
“I agree.”
But, as always, the road to persuasion was not far.
“I can carry it up to the 7th floor anyway.”
Whoa-!
「The skill ‘Amplification of Thought’ is activated.」
The moment you activate a new skill learned at the shop dedicated to the labyrinth.
A formless aura radiated from my body, giving me tremendous persuasive power.
Originally, it is a miscellaneous technique that Murim people often use before battle to show off their skills… … .
“… … .”

In this situation, it was also a suitable technique to receive implicit support from team members.
“Then there seems to be no disagreement, so let’s go down.”
I looked at the quiet teammates for a moment, then said that and started moving.
“… … !!”
Well, for some reason, I felt a bit uneasy about Catherine Bennet, who was opening her mouth… … .
It wasn’t something to pay much attention to.
Ignoring Katherine Bennet’s silent cries, I went down the stairs and a message appeared.
“You have entered the [Dark Zone] on the 4th floor of the Giant Tree Labyrinth.”
「From here on, the place has been newly changed by the dark lord who entered the giant tree labyrinth.」
“The monsters following the Dark Lord reside, and this floor is currently controlled by the Dark Lord’s subordinate Lich.”
“Cut down the enemies blocking your way and go downstairs where the dark lord lives.”
I narrowed my eyes as I stared at the desolate earth stained black.
‘Could it be that the floors are connected?’
Until now, every time I went downstairs, a new place appeared.
Each had a different theme, and even the boss who guarded the hierarchy was different.
However, breaking that rule was refreshing in its own way.
Maybe there is an enemy downstairs strong enough to break the rules that have been kept implicitly.
But the thought didn’t last long.
「The authority ‘Law of Darkness’ has detected that a stranger has entered the [Dark Zone].」
Suddenly, a message popped up saying that I was caught in some kind of power… … .
「The power ‘Law of Darkness’ applies the Law to those who enter the [Dark Zone].」
「Because they are not invited by the dark lord, all stats decrease by -10.」
“Because they are not loyal to the Dark Lord, they are targeted by the monsters that serve the Dark Lord.”
“Because they are hostile to the dark lord, the skeletons of the lich appear.”
At the same time as all abilities fell, something began to rise from the earth.
Quadd… … !
“oh.”
I got a sense of it when I saw hands made of bones with no flesh attached to them randomly sprouting around me.
‘These are the skeletons of the lich.’
It was a skeleton I hadn’t seen in a while, but they were enemies I couldn’t take lightly.
That would be too… … .
“I don’t think these are all normal skeletons… … ?”
As Catherine Bennett said, skeletons had a sense of distance from normal skeletons.
Black energy was rising like steam from the skeletons rising from the earth… … .
I immediately noticed what it was.
‘Divine power?’
To think that a mere monster possesses the power that only those who believe in and serve God… … .
I laughed out loud at that fact, but it was only for a moment.
‘for a moment… … .’
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in my head like lightning.
‘Isn’t this something I can do nogada?’
Originally, I had the ability to extract divinity through the power of divine power.
Since the divine power has not disappeared due to <Yeokcheon>, the ability to extract the divine must still exist.
When my thoughts reached that point, I swung my sword straight at one of the skeletons around me.
Kwajik!
「You have absorbed the skeleton’s spirit.」
「Skill has increased by 0.1%.」
Is it because the sword contains a lot of magical power?
Even though it was wrapped in a very good energy, the skeleton’s skull was cut as if it were broken.
and… … .
「I captured the divinity in the skeleton’s spirit.」
「The authority ‘Divine Power’ is activated by satisfying the conditions.」
「Attempt to extract divinity.」
After absorbing the skeleton’s spirit, the result appeared immediately.
「Sacred extraction successful.」
It was absurdly easy to absorb the divinity that was in the skeleton.
Of course, since it was only a skeleton dwelling divinity, calling it the size of a rat’s tail was close to an amount… … .
“I hoped that this would work… … ?”
That was enough.
‘Since Skeletons like miscreants also have divinity, there must be divinity in the lich or the dark lord.’
To plant confidence in the plan to execute from now on.
“uh… … . Go, there are suddenly a lot of skeletons… … . Is this okay… … ?”
“I can feel a suspicious energy from the skeleton. It doesn’t seem like magic. You better be careful.”
“Well, it’s a skeleton anyway. This human will take care of most of it, so in the meantime, we can just support.”
Did you say that dust was collected and called Taishan?
Recalling a proverb I heard before, I looked around at the ever-increasing number of skeletons with twinkling eyes.
Their divinity won’t help much, to be honest… … .
Even so, if divinity is extracted with numbers approaching a few hundred or a few thousand, the story is a little different.
‘How helpful would it be if I gathered all the monsters in this [Dark Zone] and dealt with them?’
I don’t know, but if you collect and absorb the divinity of the monsters within the [Dark Zone], it will be worth seeing.
and… … .
In this situation, he knew very well how to efficiently crowd monsters.
“What are you laughing so hard about? Didn’t you intend to catch all the skeletons and go down quickly?”
I immediately answered the question that Catherine Bennett tilted her head at.
“I have changed my mind a bit.”
“… … ?”
“I’ll be going downstairs a little later.”
“What is that… … .”
“and.”
I immediately concentrated my consciousness and activated the skill… … .
「Skill ‘Manmaji King 萬魔之王’ is activated.」
Ted de… … !
Subsequently, numerous skeletons trembled and then prostrated themselves in unison.
“There is no need to hold these.”
Like a servant who saw the king.
“Because I’m going to use it until I get to Richie.”
Looking at them, I smiled.
I wondered if this would be close to true creative economy since I made the talented (?) of the enemy into my hand, but… … .
“The road was opened by the skeletons, so let’s go to the lich now.”
It seemed that it would be difficult to call it a creative economy with just such a thing.
That would be too… … .
“I think I need to talk to Richie about various things.”
The deal with the lich from now on will be the real creative economy.
