191. Temple (3)
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
The Great Forest, swallowed up by the starlight, quickly shrunk in size as it burned.
really… … .
「You have achieved the Labyrinth Achievement ‘Human Talent (Unique).」
「You will get +15 labyrinth points.」
「The skill ‘Carnage (B+)’ is created.」
It could even be called a disaster itself.
Even the fire caused by the holy light accelerated the expansion of its range because it was a good environment for fire to spread.
beyond what you imagined.
「A total of 37 challengers belonging to the <domination> faction have died.」
“A total of 41 challengers belonging to the <Suppression> camp died… … .」
“A total of 18 challengers belonging to the <Nature> camp died… … .」
Should I call it an unexpected income?
Originally, I was thinking of pulling a bit of aggro and inducing all the enemies to my place… … .
A message came to my mind that the challengers who belonged to the camp of godheads I had never heard of had suddenly died.
‘They’re all deities I’ve never heard of.’
Is it domination, is it oppression, is it nature… … .
While climbing the tower, I thought I had encountered many gods in my own way, but it didn’t seem to be the case.
I’m sure there are many gods who don’t know about this.
But there was no time to admire him.
That would be too… … .
“The god of domination is arrogant and uses the nomination right for the challenger Han Seong-yoon.”
“The god of oppression needs to know the subject, so he uses the nomination right for the challenger Han Seong-yoon.”
「The god of nature is annoyed and uses the nomination right against the challenger Han Seong-yoon.」
The gods intervened in an unexpected way.
“A number of nomination rights were used for challenger Han Seong-yoon.”
「Challenger Han Seong-yoon’s location will be revealed to all camps from now on, and she will be designated as unable to stealth.」
but… … .
“Things are going funny.”
This intervention did not do me much harm.
It was worth it.
In the first place, I activated the Holy Light needlessly and extravagantly to reveal the location.
‘At this point, it feels like the deities are helping me too, right?’
However, when he directly said no and let me reveal the location, I felt grateful.
Well, being designated as non-stealth was a little awkward, but… … .
Wouldn’t it be okay if I didn’t create a situation where I had to hide anyway?
―Even in this situation, do you think it’s not worth it! This idiot with no countermeasures… … ! Don’t you know what it means that the gods are watching you!
However, Dam Chun-wu seemed to think otherwise, and he poured out words to me excitedly.
―Doesn’t the fact that it is possible to exert influence to the extent of revealing such a location mean that it can intervene even more than that!
That much is what I assumed.
Perhaps because of the nature of this giant tree labyrinth, which is deeply intertwined with the gods, I noticed that it became a good environment for the gods to use their strength.
The tower will have its hands in sanctioning the divinity in the giant tree labyrinth.
Perhaps, as the god of battle descended on the prospective apostle before, an unexpected crisis could break out.
but… … .
“If the Godhead intervenes anyway, it doesn’t matter whether it’s later or now, doesn’t it?”
The intervention of the Godhead is not something that can be avoided even if one tries to avoid it.
It’s better to sell first… … .
Rather than surrendering the initiative to the intervention of the godhead later, it was better for this side to build the situation by taking the lead.
“And I have the confidence to run away if I have to.”
Damcheonwu continued to speak in a tired tone.
-Really… … . I don’t know anything else, but the one trick of making fun of your mouth is amazing… … .
But that didn’t mean I was completely persuaded by my words.
―However, even if you wrap your sophistry in a plausible way, if you play the game like this, problems will inevitably arise.
It was worth it.
– Just like now.
As soon as he finished his words, a tremendous roar rang in his ears.
Koo-hoo-!
When I turned my head to where the sound came from, there was a wolf with red fur.
“The ruling god watches over the challenger Han Seong-yoon.”
“Koooooooooo!”
It’s also incredibly huge.
-You are a spirit. The body is also large… … . You have quite a bit of energy for being a mere beast.
A wolf with a body that seems to exceed 100m at first sight… … .
It was interesting.
I thought it was some kind of transformation ability, but surprisingly it didn’t seem like that.
It was because a man with a cane stood on the head of a wolf with red fur.
‘Is it like a summoning skill?’

To be honest, I thought I could handle this easily.
There is no need to write a myth.
It took an opponent who was below the level to see that he used the holy light.
So, I thought maybe the aggro wasn’t as good as I thought, but… … .
In conclusion, it was an illusion.
Deed—!
“The god of nature is watching the challenger Han Seong-yoon.”
Trees that have not yet been burned join together to create a huge wooden statue… … .
Whoops—!
“The god of oppression is watching the challenger Han Seong-yoon.”
Centered on exactly where I am standing, everything around me is crushed.
“… … .”
I thought, resisting my body being suppressed by an unknown physical pressure.
‘… … It seems to have succeeded in getting the eyes of the gods.’
The aggro itself seems to be attracted quite well.
and… … .
「The god of battle shows strong hostility towards the challenger Han Seong-yoon.」
Chow-!
“Haha! to be stupid! Did you think this body would suffer from a useless show of strength!?”
Then, seeing the bloody tidal wave, I put a smile on my face.
That would be too… … .
“God of battle! please look! Seeing me stepping on that boat… … !!”
Because the long-awaited enemy has finally appeared.
—… … You’ve got too many F*cking enemies.
Well, there were more enemies than I thought… … .
―Do you have the confidence to handle all these guys?
I wasn’t too worried about that.
“Even if I don’t have the confidence to kill them all, I have the confidence to survive.”
「Myth <Reversal Hero> is activated.」
「All stats increase by +67.」
「The special buff <Undying War Hero> is activated.」
「Increases all types of regeneration by 100% and reduces all damage by 40% until the end of the battle.」
That would be too… … .
「The special spell activation conditions have been met.」
「The exclusive spell <Despise the Strong> is activated.」
「All stats and skill efficiency increase by 100% until the end of the battle.」
“I’m naturally strong against bad luck.”
The more I’m cornered, the stronger I become.
***
thump, thump, thump… … !
Katherine Bennet clenched her fists at the vague vibration that came from beyond the red barrier.
Currently, a fierce battle is taking place on the ground.
She recognized it right away.
It was worth it.
Even before the tower appeared, she had been active as an A-class hunter and had overcome numerous trials as a hard difficulty challenger.
Even if you don’t want to know the level of the fighting on the ground, it’s normal to notice.
So I couldn’t help but be terrified.
‘Can a human being fight at this level… … ?’
Catherine Bennett was unmistakably strong.
Both as a hunter and as a challenger.
There were not many beings on Earth who could match her.
Because of that, Catherine Bennett was confident.
Han Seong-yoon, whom he saw in Tokyo, said he had caught up with him too.
So now I’ve reached a level where I can be useful enough for him.
That person who seems to have lost his taste somehow… … .
I can make it so that I don’t throw my body away casually anymore.
but… … .
‘There’s nothing I can do… … .’
It was an illusion.
Now Han Seong-yoon was not staying at the level where he was in a hurry to protect the city.
He had developed overwhelming power as if he had transcended the human race itself.
I fully felt that even after entering the giant tree labyrinth.
Even though all abilities should have been reset to the initial level of awakening, Han Seong-yoon showed an overwhelming appearance.
The skill itself was different.
I want to help him, but in reality there is nothing I can do.
Katherine Bennett opened her mouth with a sense of self-doubt.
“Can we still call ourselves a team… … . It doesn’t help him at all… … .”
She asked a question to her colleagues who had seen Han Seong-yoon.
“Is it okay to be casually in a safe place like this?”
With the optimistic thought that maybe there might be other alternatives for my colleagues.
“… … You can’t help it. To Sungyoon, being a team means nothing. We are small fish.”
But it wasn’t.
“It’s already not a battle that humans can do. You can feel it. entire. If you enter there, you will die.”
Oh Chun-seok let out a self-deprecating sneer while sitting in the corner hugging his knees.
“I have tried hard enough. I tried to complicate the skill tree, and I tried to make full use of my magical abilities.”
His eyes had lost their color and were dead.
“You know what?”
A few floors earlier, Oh Chun-seok had maintained such lifeless eyes.
“Is the shield or buff ability more helpful than the ability accumulated in-depth while climbing the tower?”
All that was left in his eyes was despair.
“Isn’t that funny? Everything I’ve risked my life to build… … . Being able to hit a few shields and a few buffs.”
Catherine Bennett could not answer.
“Now I… … , the idea that something can be done… … , I can’t.”
Because there was nothing wrong with that.
Even Kim Seung-hoon gave an opinion that was not very different.
“If it’s not helping you when you’re tired, it won’t help much.”
and… … .
“Right now, it would be best to just make sure I don’t hold on to Han Seong-yoon’s ankles.”
Upon hearing that, Katherine Bennet realized that there was no answer after all.
‘Are you saying that nothing can be changed unless a miracle happens… … .’
All I can do in this situation is to pray.
But it wasn’t like it didn’t work at all.
‘The god of darkness, I said… … .’
There was a fact that I learned while climbing the tower.
That God is a real being, and gives the believer the power appropriate for their faith.
On the first floor of the giant tree labyrinth, she once received the favor of the dark god.
Soon Katherine Bennett thought.
perhaps… … .
‘Maybe I can make a miracle happen… … .’
I don’t know if it’s possible to receive power from the dark god.
Of course, I don’t really believe in the dark god, I just received grace… … .
That was enough.
‘If there is a possibility, it’s worth trying.’
Catherine Bennett prayed earnestly with her hands folded and her eyes closed.
Please give me the strength to help him, even if it’s just for a moment.
[Whoops. poor kid Maybe I’m thinking too cute. ]
and… … .
[Do you really want to help that moth-like child? ]
A miracle really happened.
***
At first, all the enemies targeted me and fought fiercely.
oh oh oh oh!
The red wolf, presumed to be a summoned beast, howled and swung its paws wildly with murderous intent.
Kigigigiggig—!
The gigantic wooden statue made of giant trees tried to crush me with restrained movements.
Quaaaaaang—!
Vampires who serve the god of battle constantly chatter and use a tidal wave of blood to attack.
―Regeneration ability is meaningless.
―If you allow the blow and your movement is wasted even for a moment, there will be no time to evade from then on.
―Perhaps they will unite and attack you without stopping in order to kill you. So never get hit
Of course, I didn’t even get past all those attacks.
‘It’s strange that his abilities have risen like this, but he’s getting hurt.’
Even Dam Chun-wu gave me advice and activated his auxiliary ability, so I got used to avoiding it.
Now, after dodging at all, I can mix attacks with combos whenever I have time.
After a little more time, I thought that maybe someone could definitely handle it.
‘If I don’t distribute the damage with a specific target, I can definitely kill someone.’
but… … .
“… … !?”
As the time to fight gradually increased, an unexpected situation occurred.
Wow!
“Quaaaaaaaaaaaaa! You F*cking son of a bitch! Who, who are you laying your hand on?!”
A vampire serving the god of battle was suddenly ambushed by a red wolf.
“Pheh! Then, did you think we would join hands and aim for the same enemy haha-ho-ho?”
However, the man sitting on the head of the red wolf sneered as if he was dumbfounded.
“It’s a pity for vampires who lack intelligence, but this isn’t an alliance.”
and… … .
“I just thought it would be better to kill you than target him, so don’t feel unfair.”
From that point on, the aspect of the battle has completely changed.
“On the subject of the damn mongrel… … ! I want to die that much, but I can’t stop it! I will personally kill this body!”
really… … .
‘What kind of situation is this?’
It became the opening itself.
“The god of battle is furious and savages!”
“The ruling god sneers at me, saying that the slowness of his head is also a problem!”
「The god of nature has turned her eyes away from challenger Han Seong-yoon and is looking at someone!」
“The god of oppression roars to lower those unlucky eyes at anyone who looks at him!”
What is even absurd is that the situation has become more serious as they start fighting with each other like this.
“The God of Battle consumes divine power and Advent Authority to cast <Advent>.”
“The god of domination consumes divine power and authority to cast <Advent>… … .」
「The god of nature casts <Advent> by consuming divine power and the authority of Advent… … .」
「The god of oppression consumes divine power and the authority of Advent to initiate <Advent>… … .」
The 4-on-1 fight that revolved entirely around me turned into a 2-on-2 fight… … .
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-!!
They seemed to be hiding their strength from each other, and started fighting more fiercely while using <Advent>.
“… … .”
Intuitively.
‘If it continues like this, it will be a bad situation for me.’
For now, it might be good to hide and stare at the fisherman, but… … .
It could be seen that the situation was close to the opposite.
Since they both used <Advent>, they should be able to stop fighting and target me.
Then I didn’t have the confidence to accept them.
‘I didn’t expect to use <Advent> like this.’
Originally, it was my intention to deal with the conceited enemy with a numerical superiority of 4 to 1 as carefully as possible… … .
Things didn’t work out as well as I thought.
Accumulate damage slowly and finish off the enemy by the time they are fully accustomed to dodging.
That was my strategy, but if this doesn’t work, there’s little I can do.
‘I can’t help it… … .’
Eventually, I had to make a decision.
‘This is an unconditional strategic retreat.’
He chose to get away from the battlefield and replenish the commanders.
There were people who died due to the holy light before, so it should be enough to absorb those spirits.
And the situation changes again when a new trick is created through skill synthesis at the point where they are fighting each other.
Since we started giving strength to each other, I also need to supplement.
‘It’s strange that I didn’t take this out.’
I quickly turned around and ran away.
“The dark god smiles.”
… … No, to be precise, I was trying to run away.
「The God of Darkness consumes divine power and Advent Authority to cast <Advent>.”
Whoa-!
Until a black light shined down from the clear sky and a message appeared saying that <Advent> was used.
But something was strange.
“Why is that thing coming out of there… … ?”
The location where the god of darkness cast <Advent> is speculated to be… … .
“The god of darkness <descended> on the prospective apostle ‘Catherine Bennett’.”
“… … I really think I’m going to go crazy and turn around.”
It was undoubtedly the place where I created a barrier to protect my comrades.
