186. Keeper (2)
“View all perks you can buy.”
I’ve decided to use the points I’ve accumulated so far during the travel time… … .
Instead of needlessly looking around the store dedicated to the labyrinth, I entered the special store right away.
‘There are 4 perks that need to be bought, but I can’t buy all of them.’
I also achieved two legend-level achievements, so I collected more points than I thought, but I still didn’t have enough points.
So, now was the time to choose.
Which perk will you get?
「[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]」
First of all, one perk was confirmed for purchase.
‘Absolute preservation must be bought.’
Whoever I am dealing with has this, and I will never become weak.
Perhaps, through absolute preservation, the specs before entering the labyrinth could be restored.
However, I’m guessing that the ability not to be lost with the Absolute Preservation perk is the ability after acquiring the perk.
It would be a very hopeful observation to even regain the abilities before entering the labyrinth.
‘That’s why it’s essential to develop some level of ability.’
So, I immediately decided on three perks that I could buy at the store.
In fact, if you were asked to choose three of these four perks, it was pretty obvious what you would buy.
「I purchased the exclusive privilege ‘Exclusive Skill Book (SSS+)’ by consuming 100 Labyrinth Points.」
「I purchased the exclusive perk ‘Exclusive Spell Ring (SSS+)’ by consuming 100 labyrinth points.」
「I purchased the exclusive perk ‘Absolute Preservation (SSS+)’ by consuming 100 labyrinth points.」
skills and spells.
Except for absolute preservation, which is basically decided to buy, these two are the things you need to buy.
Of course, there is also a power evolution potion, but I was a little hesitant to buy this.
Even if you haven’t restored all of your powers, why are you buying power evolution potions?
You may regret it no matter where you use it, so it would be right to buy it later.
After completing a few achievements, you can buy Power Evolution potions anyway.
Hung.
As soon as I finished purchasing the privilege, a book and a ring imbued with antiquity appeared in the air.
Absolute conservation was applied right away, so no change occurred.
It was such a simple application that I doubted if this was the end… … .
‘But I just need it to work well later.’
I didn’t have to procrastinate, so this was fine as it was.
「Exclusive Skill Book」
「Rating: SSS+」
「A book with special privileges that allows you to create original exclusive skills.」
「※When a book is stained with blood, an original skill is created by analyzing the user’s temperament for 14 days.」
「Exclusive Order Ring」
「Rating: SSS+」
「A privileged ring that can create original exclusive spells.」
「Once equipped, the exclusive spell ring is permanently bound to the user.」
「※ When the ring is worn on the hand, an original spell is given to the ring according to the user’s wish.」
Snatching the items that appeared in the air and looking at the description window, there was nothing strange.
This is a description that is close to what you saw in the shop window.
only… … .
‘To think it took 14 days to create an exclusive skill… … .’
Is it because he created an original skill that can be used exclusively?
There was a waiting time for skill creation in exclusive skill books purchased at the store.
That’s not a short waiting time of 14 days.
To be honest, I didn’t like it, but I had no choice but to lick my appetite.
As long as there is a waiting time, I hope that good skills will be created.
In response, I bit my finger lightly to bleed out and buried it in a dedicated skill book.
「Challenger Han Seong-yoon is registered as a user of the exclusive skill book (SSS+).」
and… … .
「The exclusive skill book (SSS+) starts analyzing the temperament of challenger Han Seong-yoon.」
After that message, the book in my hand disappeared in an instant without a sound.
「After 14 days, a skill suitable for the temperament of challenger Seongyoon Han will be created.」
After that, no more messages came to mind.
The exclusive skill book will not change until the 14 days pass.
But that didn’t mean that even the spell-generating ring couldn’t be used right away.
‘A spell is created according to the desire, la… … .’
Perhaps the spells created in the ring are greatly influenced by the user’s thoughts… … .
‘It’s fun.’
I was curious.
「You have equipped the exclusive spell ring (SSS+).」

If this ring really gives me a spell to make my wishes come true… … .
「The exclusive spell ring (SSS+) is permanently bound to the challenger Han Seong-yoon.」
What kind of order will there be?
「Exclusive spell ring (SSS+) creates a special spell suitable for challenger Seongyun Han.」
***
tsuuu
The moment when a strange sound rang out from the blue ring worn on the index finger of the right hand.
「The exclusive spell <Contempt for the Strong> is created in the exclusive spell ring (SSS+).」
A system message popped up, and red light quietly flowed from the ring.
“… … .”
I don’t think the super good spells were created like I thought… … .
‘It seems that at least the minimum expectations were met.’
The performance of the generated spells wasn’t completely disappointing either.
The performance of the dedicated spell itself was simple.
Increases all stats and all skill efficiency by 100%.
This was the ability of the <Contempt for the Strong> spell.
Of course, there are conditions.
‘Is it a one-shot reversal card that can only be used against the strongest of the strongest enemies… … .’
This spell could only be activated when facing an enemy many times stronger than the user.
However, the duration lasted until the end of the battle, so it wasn’t bad.
‘It’s okay.’
Whether you go up the tower or down the labyrinth… … .
Anyway, there were many situations where I had to face strong enemies.
So there was no reason why it wouldn’t be good to have a spell that could be used together with <The Warrior of Reversal>.
As soon as I finished the maintenance, I saw a staircase that allows you to move between floors.
“… … This is the center of this fortified city. If you go down here, you can go to the 6th floor.”
The dark lord looked at me with an unwilling face for some reason.
It seems to be the attitude of doubting whether he will really save himself… … .
“Now go.”
The reason why I had to kill him was gone, so I immediately waved my hand and issued a congratulatory order.
But even so, the dark lord asked me a question with a confused face as if he couldn’t believe it.
“Is it really saving lives? … ?”
“It’s a promise, so there’s nothing you can do about it.”
At that time, the demon god told me that he would give me the reward the gods wanted to get from this giant tree labyrinth.
In exchange, he begged the demons in the giant tree labyrinth to be saved.
So, I had no intention of killing the dark lord unnecessarily.
Of course, I coveted the divine power a little, but I sucked enough of it from the spring and came back.
‘I’ve said everything since I’ve risen to the level of divinity.’
I’ve absorbed enough to make a decent number of prospective apostles… … .
To be honest, to kill even the dark lord, no matter how much I am, I have a guilty conscience.
… … Well, remorse is also remorse, but it was better not to kill it even if it could break the alliance with the Demon God.
In many ways.
“I didn’t know you were serious. She never imagined that she would be able to live… … .”
“Don’t hate it. I’m fine even if I give up my head here and leave.”
“Mmm, crazy man! Jim is not okay! What do you think of demons!”
“A gift box with generous rewards?”
“… … .”
“I’m kidding.”
It’s a prank thrown with the mind to arouse the hard atmosphere, but is it that the emotions are dry like a demon?
“… … that, that’s right No, it’s not like a joke. Gee, Jim will go back now. Enough then.”
The dark lord, whose face was paler than before, quickly moved away from me.
Katherine Bennett, who saw that, glanced at me and then said in a puzzled tone.
“… … How many times have you plowed that demon before you react like that?”
“well. I’ve never been to He must have been frightened by my words for no reason because he was a demon.”
As I shrugged at him, Kim Seung-hoon opened his mouth in a puzzled manner.
“Doesn’t that demon need to be killed? Haven’t you killed all the demons so far?”
“Well, I did, but I think I should keep it alive.”
“I don’t know if it’s a skill or authority… … . It seems there is something to be gained by saving the demons.”
“Exactly.”
I was worried about how to explain that the demons were not killed due to the alliance with the demons.
Since Kim Seung-hoon took care of it, I was just happy.
Then Oh Chun-seok nodded his head as if he understood what he said and added.
“We have to understand that we are in the position of being carried by Sungyoon. We have nothing to think about.”
There was no need to say anything more thanks to the atmosphere of everyone agreeing with those words.
“… … Then let’s go down.”
Then, I took my teammates and went down the dark stairway leading directly below.
“The 5th floor of the giant tree labyrinth, you will receive a reward because you have qualified to go down the [Hell Fortress City].”
“You can restore two abilities by selecting two of [Item, Power, and Skill].”
Now that I was used to restoring my ability, I was able to finish my selection quickly.
「The skill ‘Counterattack Shield’ is released from the seal.」
Choose a counterattack shield that can be used as both a defensive and counter skill.
「The authority ‘Emergency Index’ will be released from the seal.」
In preparation for the ability to shake the mind, he even regained the Myung Kyung Index.
To be honest, I thought Starlight or Punishment would be fine as a skill to recover… … .
Instead of using the Holy Light, it would be better to use a counter and minor version of the lightsaber as a counterattack shield.
In addition, skills such as Punishment were extremely strong against demons, but they were no longer needed.
‘Because of the contract with the demon, there is no need to fight the demon.’
So, the counterattack shield was suitable for the current skill to be restored.
After restoring my abilities, I agonized over whether to use skill synthesis, but soon decided not to.
This is because the materials to be replaced for skill synthesis are incomplete.
In order not to come out with the same skill from synthesis, we need to carefully consider the combination of each other… … .
Among the skills he had absorbed before, there were many that could be called crap.
‘For now, skill synthesis is a keep.’
Maintenance was just finished.
The team members also completed their ability recovery faster than me, as if they had adapted to it now.
It was amazing.
In the previous floor, he said that he had to carefully decide which ability to recover, but it was unexpectedly fast.
When I asked Katherine Bennet directly why she finished the maintenance so quickly, she answered right away.
“… … That’s it, since I set the tech tree to support you. I don’t even care about self-defense anymore.”
It was a grunting voice, as if it was a bit sulking, but… … .
In the end, it was like giving up my life and going all-in.
Even though it seemed a little out of place, I felt a little better because I was trusted like this.
“Then you must live up to expectations.”
After saying that, I led my team and went straight down the stairs… … .
“You have entered [Cradle of Proof] on the 6th floor of the Giant Tree Labyrinth.”
I was able to arrive at a gray earth with a huge mirror installed in the center.
“This is a special hierarchy governed by the God of Proof.”
「Earth level and Moorim level can jointly face the ordeal.」
“Join your efforts to defeat the soon-appearing [Cloned Challenger] and go downstairs.”
「※However, if the [Cloned Challenger]’s repulsion contribution is 10% or less, you will be expelled from the labyrinth.”
Reading the explanation from the system message, my eyes twinkled.
‘A layer governed by the God of Proof?’
It was only now that the traces of the gods began to be felt in earnest.
Whether this is good or bad, it means that we are getting closer to the depths of the giant tree labyrinth.
I couldn’t help but feel my heart pounding with excitement.
But that was only for a moment.
‘It’s a joint trial between the Earth level and the Moorim level.’
Looking across the gray land, there were many people around who were armed differently than the Hunters.
“Savages like worms are scattered here and there… … . They are worms who do not know martial arts or martial arts.”
“A joint ordeal with bug-like bastards who have never studied martial arts? Does this make sense?”
“under! joint ordeal? to talk nonsense. Cooperation with bugs who do not know martial arts is impossible.”
Murim people.
The challengers belonging to the Moorim dimension each looked around at those around them and clicked their tongues.
‘About 40 Moorim people on the 6th floor… … .’
Considering that there were around 10 challengers from the Earth level, it was a huge number.
… … In fact, considering what I had done while descending, it was also strange that there were around 10 challengers from the Earth level.
It’s because they didn’t let the challengers come down the hierarchy easily.
It probably means that the challengers at the earth level are extremely talented.
So, to some extent, they were intrigued, but… … .
That feeling soon went away.
It was worth it.
“Currently, random replication is being conducted for the strongest challengers on the 6th floor.”
「[Cloned challenger]’s skills are fixed at the level before entering the giant tree labyrinth.」
An enemy so powerful that different dimensions must join forces is about to appear.
When it was said that it was random replication for the strong, the tension rose at once.
‘Copying the challenger with the specifications before entering the giant tree labyrinth… … .’
It’s an ordeal that makes you nervous even if you don’t want to be nervous.
A tremendously strong man like the heavenly horse that we saw in the 17th floor trial before could appear… … .
It was best to hope that among the strong, the weaker one would be cloned.
but… … .
「Selection complete.」
「A [duplicated challenger] is created with the specs of the selected challenger before entering the giant tree labyrinth.”
I don’t know why, but every time I wished so desperately, I had no luck.
It’s also very huge.
Deed—!
At the same time the mirror in the center of the gray earth trembled, a human figure appeared from beyond.
“… … .”
Seeing that, I could only hold my breath as if my brain had temporarily stopped.
That would be too… … .
“A challenger belonging to the Earth dimension [Han Seong-yoon] has been created.”
What emerged from the mirror was the worst of the worst.
