233. Common area on the 21st floor (1)
Once upon a time I stopped by the common area on the 10th floor.
“Go to the common area on the 21st floor.”
It was a common area where all the challengers of the Earth dimension gathered… … .
At that time, it was used as a place to acquire various skills through the arena system.
Thanks to that, I was able to create some good skills that I still use.
I had never looked more deeply into the common areas than that.
“You have entered the common area on the 21st floor.”
only… … .
「Observation by administrators will be possible without conditions after 10 minutes.」
At that time, I only thought that the common area was a place where challengers could actively interact.
But was there some kind of mistake?
Clap-!
When I opened my eyes, knights in black armor were all around me and looking at me.
I frowned at him in dismay.
“What is this again… … .”
It seemed as if he knew he would come to this place.
As I was watching it, a bad thought came to my mind for a moment.
‘Could all these knights be challengers to the gods?’
Maybe some deity knew that I would come to this place and planned it in advance.
In fact, during the trial on the 20th floor, the God of Balance also said that he would sincerely oppose me.
There were as many deities as one could imagine.
And that was also why they had to send their followers to kill me.
‘… … I’m sure I’m getting in the way, so I might try to kill you right here.’
Of course, the Godheads must have known that nothing would happen if one person performed <Advent>… … .
There was also the possibility that some of the knights present here were apostles of other gods.
If so, it was pretty dangerous.
That would be too… … .
This is because the Apotheosis Power is on cooldown.
‘If I don’t use deification, it will be difficult to deal with more than one deity using <Advent>.’
In other words, it means that it is wise to get rid of it right away in this place.
Perhaps, using the acquired skills, it would be possible to drag out time and run away.
As I moved my hand to the hilt, I thought about what to do.
That will increase your chances of escaping.
But it was only for a while that I thought about it.
Raising the tension, I put my hand on the blade of the twin swords, and one of the knights came forward and opened his mouth.
“We are the vigilantes of the common area on the 21st floor.”
Unlike other knights, it was a knight wearing pure white armor.
“Affiliation dimension, challenger nickname, contracted manager.”
however… … .
“If you say all three, I will grant you access to the common areas.”
As if all of this was a futile idea, the knight didn’t say anything about the godhead.
Just, as if threatening with a sword, he told me to reveal the information.
Only then did I realize
It means that they are not the same gods sent by the godhead.
‘Did I worry for a long time unnecessarily?’
But that doesn’t change the situation in their favour.
The knights surrounding him now had a clear, albeit faint, tinge of murder.
In other words, it means that they may try to kill me in case of an emergency.
Even the knight’s request is not justified.
“Is there anything else to do other than setting the access to the common area with the same challengers?”
After all, this common area on the 21st floor is just an exchange space created by the tower.
It didn’t look like they were arguing whether to go in or out with this.
But didn’t the article think so?
“You are not given the right to ask such questions.”
He said with a thicker breath.
Suuu-!
“If you do not cooperate, you will be arrested and interrogated, so it will be beneficial for you to answer meekly.”
It was as if someone like me could be overpowered at any time.
At this point there is nothing more to see.
I twitched the corner of my mouth and smiled at him.
I didn’t know that it would come out so violently… … .
“Redeem, interrogate, la… … .”
Rather good.
“Do whatever you want.”
Even if it wasn’t, it was a car I was curious about.
“If you can do that.”
How far will the newly acquired skills go?

In the blink of an eye, the atmosphere calmed down.
The silence reminds me of the night before the storm.
But that didn’t last long either.
That would be too… … .
“… … After all, you make such a stupid choice.”
It was because the knight in the pure white armor began to overflow with the thickest flesh.
“If you don’t answer the question, it means you’re a villain.”
and.
“Curse that shameless life and die.”
In the blink of an eye, a knight in pure white armor pulled out a long sword and swung it brilliantly.
I glanced at the sword attack that continued in an amicable trajectory, and inside I laughed.
It was worth it.
Even though he could put a flame-like aura on his sword, the level wasn’t that high.
‘It’s just about being able to freely handle the nature of sword flame.’
to the point of ridicule
I never thought I would reach the level of sword flame that I had already completed on the 13th floor or so on the 21st floor… … .
Even if growth is slow, it is too slow.
If he grew up like that, wouldn’t he be able to deal with swordsmanship only after reaching the 30th floor?
But that’s why it was suitable as an opponent to test a new skill.
‘In this way, I can use the skill as I want without hesitation.’
In response, I took a big step back to avoid the sword flame and immediately reached out my left hand.
「The skill ‘Abyssal Lineage’ is strongly activated.」
Sherry Rick—!
And at the same time, the divine power was consumed, and black tentacles sprouted from the fingertips and stretched out here and there.
It was quite different from the skill effect I used when I was in the waiting room.
It was worth it.
It’s because I applied the ability of skill enhancement, which is an A+ grade divine power effect.
‘Skills that are strengthened with divine power are like this.’
The black tentacles were running faster and more ferociously than before.
has definitely changed
very strong too.
Admiring how much stronger he was than before, I manipulated the black tentacles and pierced several black knights intact.
Viscount Chow… … !
“Keah, keuheouk! Sue, I can’t breathe… … .”
“Eyes, eyes… … ! shit! I can’t see ahead… … !”
“Rotten! Was it a devil worshiper who had mastered the magic of the abyss! Watch out everyone!”
Surprisingly, it seems that there was an additional effect on the Abyssal lineage skill.
Those whose bodies were pierced by the black tentacles all collapsed complaining of different pains.
“Is that what happens when you get hurt by the black tentacles?”
I smiled at him, controlling the black tentacles with my fingertips.
“It’s a better ability than I thought.”
Presumably, getting hit by the black tentacles seemed to randomly paralyze one of the five senses.
There is no injury more fatal than losing your five senses in battle.
Originally, I thought it would be a savage skill because I could only use the black tentacles… … .
Surprisingly, it seemed like I should try writing a little more.
It was then.
“Because you’re like this demon… … ! I’ll slaughter all those ugly fingers… … !”
Sucker-!
The sword of the knight in pure white armor was swung around, cutting off some of the black tentacles.
Well, the black tentacles aren’t part of my body anyway, so there’s no damage… … .
Still, I felt a little bad.
“Being a nuisance.”
In response, I immediately activated the skill by consuming additional divine power.
「The skill ‘Deceleration of the designated target’ is strongly activated.」
「Decelerates all speeds of challenger ‘Greg Lizzlet’ by 40% for 4 minutes.」
It was satisfying to see that the duration of the skill increased 4 times compared to the original because it was strengthened with divine power.
‘The skill effect itself didn’t get stronger, but the increased duration of the skill is sufficient reinforcement.’
A 40% reduction in all speeds was by no means a small debuff.
Attack speed, movement speed, action speed, etc… … .
It’s because it lowers countless speeds by 40% at once.
Actually-.
“Pray… … eat… … !”
The snow-white knight was moving his body as if his movements were blocked by an invisible force.
With this, even pure white knights with decent skills are now excluded… … .
I immediately distanced myself from the white knights and killed them all with my black tentacles.
It’s very simple too.
Let’s go, let’s go!
The black tentacles created by the Abyssal Lineage skill stabbed countless knights in the blink of an eye.
With that, the battle was virtually over.
That would be too… … .
“Ugh, aaaaaaaa! uh, the darkness… … ! Darkness comes… … ! Hee-hee!”
“Nu, in the eyes, bugs in the eyes! There are bugs crawling in my eyes.
“Hahahaha! Abyss, abyss… … ! The abyss swallows everything!”
This was because the knights stabbed by the black tentacles soon developed hallucinations.
It’s not enough to seal one of the five senses, so it even causes delirium… … .
It was a skill that a challenger with a bad taste would have really liked if he had acquired it.
However, I didn’t want to waste time, so instead of maximizing delirium with the black tentacles, I extended my black tentacles down at the white knight.
“Do you think you’ll fall for the magic of the abyss… … !!”
The knight in pure white armor swung his sword in such rage, but… … .
A state in which all speed is reduced by 40% by the skill ‘Designated Target Deceleration’.
Therefore, the black tentacles pierced the pure white armor without being cut by the sword, and inflicted effective blows on him.
Woowook!
“Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
And at the same time, a scream erupted from him, and sobs lingered in his ears.
‘Has this roughly settled the situation?’
Even the pure white knight who seems to be the leader of the knights has been subdued… … .
There was nothing to shy away from now.
Soon after, I deactivated the Abyssal Lineage skill and approached the pure white knight.
Is there no resistance to this type of skill?
He was lying on the floor, wriggling like an earthworm.
“Turn off, turn off… … .”
“Now we can talk quietly to each other.”
“Kuh, kuh. What the hell did you do to me—!”
“I have no right to question you.”
Wow!
Returning the words the white knight had told me earlier, I immediately stepped on his torso.
「The skill ‘Pain Amplification’ is activated.」
「From now on, the opponent you inflict damage will feel the pain twice.」
“Kuhuhuhh… … !”
As soon as blood flowed from the area pierced by the black tentacles, the pure white knight let out a moan.
At that, I looked down at the squirming pure white knight and clicked my tongue.
He was busy crying out in pain on a topic that he had been talking about so much before.
Holding back the scorn that slowly built up, I opened my mouth.
“Why did you try to dig up information about me?”
However, the pure-white knight trembled in pain and fought wildly.
“… … I have nothing to tell you, a bug. Aren’t you ashamed to use such dirty power?”
“very.”
“also… … . evil is evil That sin will surely be paid back someday. An idiot who gave his soul to the abyss.”
“… … .”
I let out a sigh when I saw the pure white knight teasing me roughly.
“The other dimension challengers are this guy and that guy, and there are no normal people… … .”
It was dumbfounded to see him calling me a villain even though he was the one who struck first.
It was all the more so because he didn’t know that he really believed that he was justice.
But it was only for a moment that he let out a sigh like that.
The snow-white knight who had been trampled on by his feet gave an eerie smile.
“Phehe. It’s no use asking anything. As a knight, there will be no telling the wicked.”
Do you think it’s like making a noble sacrifice?
Seeing the pure-white knight showing his determined determination, I smiled.
If you don’t want to give me a proper answer, just make me think about it.
“okay?”
and.
“Then shall we find out how long we can hold out?”
next moment.
「The skill ‘Torture Skill’ is activated.」
“From now on, you can use more natural methods of torture.”
「It becomes easier to instill fear and increases the efficiency of all types of torture by 10%.」
I flashed my cool eyes and created black tentacles at the tips of my fingers.
