245. Reward rise (3)
And science and science ─!
A storm of blood shattered all the buildings in black flames.
Gambling hall, arena, auction hall, shopping mall, gymnasium etc… … .
In the blink of an eye, innumerable facilities are directly hit by a black bloody storm and disappear.
Seeing that, I smiled lightly.
‘… … It’s definitely easier to mix skills than before, probably because my skill proficiency has gone up.’
Could it be because of raising the mastery of Unextinguished Mortal Flame as an item?
Unlike before, it was not enough to activate the skill easily, and even the skill output rose slightly.
It’s a blow by controlling the blood generated by the Blood Demon Artifact with the Seeker of the Fresh Blood, and shooting an unquenchable mortal flame around it… … .
Looking at the increased power as the skill proficiency increased, it could now be compared to the holy light.
Of course, since the mana in the body is consumed by 10% per second, it cannot be maintained for very long.
This was enough.
「Accomplishment ‘Destroying Residential Areas’ has been achieved.」
As for destroying towns in public areas occupied by vigilantes.
「Exclusive authority #D-0007 [Increase reward] is automatically activated when the conditions are satisfied.」
「The level of rewards obtained from achievements will increase.」
“All stats increase by 4.”
And I opened my eyes slightly wide at the message that came up next.
It was worth it.
Until now, the reward increase didn’t activate unless I used it myself, but… … .
I didn’t know that the right to increase rewards would apply to achievement rewards.
‘… … amazing Is this the real right to increase rewards?’
Come to think of it, it was said that the reward increase was upgraded and all kinds of rewards could be increased.
This means that you can now enhance not only achievement rewards, but also all other rewards as well.
Thinking about it made me smile.
Should I say it was worth the hassle of going through the 21st floor common area instead of going straight to the next floor?
satisfied enough.
‘If I can use it properly, it will be extremely helpful.’
However, admiring the newly acquired right to increase rewards was short-lived.
“AA AA AA… … ! You’re like a rotten demon! What the hell are you thinking, doing such a dog thing to a vigilante—”
Arc van Heustiger, who had been escorted to the common area, shouted in a fit of panic.
His face was wrinkled as if he had seen something terrible.
At that, I took out the sword that was tied around my waist and decapitated him.
And that too without the slightest hesitation.
Slow-!
「You have absorbed the command of the challenger, ‘Ark Van Heustiger’.」
“Challenger Han Seong-yoon is 0.0004% closer to ascension by winning against an incapacitated foe.”
My heart wasn’t heavy at all.
In the first place, the only reason why Ark Van Heustiger was kept alive was to use him as a guide.
I arrived at the place I wanted, so there was no need to prolong my life.
It would be better to change it to one of the commandments and use it anywhere.
As I wiped off the blood from my sword and looked at the messy common area, I heard a voice.
―You do a splendid job. Perhaps doing this would bother you a lot. That’s a lot too.
It was Damcheonwoo.
“What do you mean by annoying?”
―You must have heard about the Ares dimension while climbing the tower? The Ares dimension has an empire, and all the knights belong to the empire.
“Oh, I’ve heard that.”
-So that’s a problem. The vigilantes who occupied the common area on the 21st floor were probably from the Empire. If you kill all over hundreds of people, the Empire will make it a feat.
“It doesn’t matter.”
At that, I smiled as I looked at the horribly collapsing buildings.
“Even if I become an enemy of the empire, it will only benefit me.”
Even if they turn the empire into an enemy, it doesn’t matter.
This cannot be dismissed as too optimistic.
It was worth it.
It’s already enough to call me a walking natural disaster.
“And if I’m in the tower, even the Empire won’t be able to touch me that directly.”
Even as a candidate among the challengers to climb the tower, he is being protected to some extent by the tower.
But can the Empire pour all its power into me?
Probably not.
At best, it would be to the extent of urging the challenger in the upper layer to intrude into the layer.
Even if they tried to invade the hierarchy, there was only one challenger to deal with.
I didn’t think I could beat it.
“If the empire turns me into an enemy, I will only destroy the empire.”
And later, when the day comes when the strength is sufficiently accumulated, it was the intention to greedily take the fruit.
A fruit named Empire, containing the sweetest juice.
Feeling a little bit of anticipation for him, I heard Dam Chun-wu laugh.
but… … .

—… … I’m always thinking Sungyoon Han. You guys are definitely crazy. The blood demon principal will guarantee it.
It was more of a sense of fun than of being ridiculous.
―Then I will watch what you do.
And at the end of those words, I felt the mana vibrating through the collapsed buildings.
It’s also a very dense magical power.
It’s not different… … .
「The special power ‘Battlefield of the Proud’ is activated, making it impossible to escape within a certain area.」
「The special power ‘Realm of the Despair’ is activated, and challenger Han Seong-yoon’s stamina is consumed very quickly.”
「The special power ‘Grace of the War King who favors knights’ is activated, and those who are classified as knights become greatly stronger.」
“Are you finally starting a counterattack?”
Now they are ready to fight in earnest on the other side.
***
I smiled as I read all the system messages that popped into my field of vision.
It seems that they prepared various area effects by occupying common areas… … .
Compared to the area effect he had experienced from the battle with the godhead, it wasn’t great.
Most of it is a kind of effect that can be offset anyway.
‘There’s no such thing as a stroke, a ban on mana recovery, or a skill seal.’
At this point, it’s kind of disappointing.
It was worth it.
Goddesses or high-level wizards applied really annoying effects to the Deokji Deokji area.
However, there are only so many people who claim to protect the common area on the 21st floor… … .
“I’m sorry.”
I clicked my tongue at him and walked right to the village where the vigilantes were located, and the bite came right away.
Dozens of knights in black armor appeared between the ruined buildings.
The power of those caught by the senses was not so great.
Roughly speaking, it is on the same level as the articles I saw as soon as I entered the common area on the 21st floor.
As soon as they all saw me, they were greatly shocked and began to surround me as if they were encamping.
“S, the assailant… … , an attacker appeared! Everyone surround this madman!”
“A guy who wouldn’t mind chewing on this… … ! You show off well! I will kill you!”
“Everyone, stay calm. Anyway, because of the authority, he will soon run out of stamina.”
Some were surprised, some were furious, and some were scornful.
But no one seemed to be concerned.
However, it was clear that he wanted this situation to be sorted out quickly.
It’s as if he’s fully prepared now, so he can defeat me at any time.
‘It’s fun.’
Of course I did.
Currently, there are about 400 people in this common area.
In other words, if they were all considered vigilantes, there were at least as many knights who knew how to handle swordsmanship.
So it was not strange for everyone to believe that the fight would be over soon.
but… … .
“I don’t like it very much.”
Because of that, the feeling of wanting to destroy this thorough trust grew stronger.
「The skill ‘Adversary of the Realm’ is activated.」
「All stats are amplified by +10% when dealing with a group alone.」
The moment when one of the trivial skills obtained in <Proof Field> was activated.
Shuk-.
Immediately after that, I slightly raised my right foot and stepped on it as if I was stamping the ground.
Not slow, not fast.
It was just a simple step-like movement.
Footsteps without even carrying magic power.
That’s why the knights didn’t pay much attention, and in the end, that was the cause of their death.
It’s not different…
And science and science ─ !!
As soon as he stepped on the ground, the floor cracked open and a shockwave was generated.
In the twinkling of an eye, neatly paved common areas roads crumble.
Soon, even the exposed dirt floor was overturned as if the earth’s surface exploded at once.
It’s also very strong.
‘It was rewarding to raise my abilities to the fullest in <The Field of Proof>.’
Is it because of the stacking of all stat increases and various stat increase potions obtained while passing <The Field of Proof>?
A shallow earthquake could be triggered more easily than expected.
Of course, this isn’t like a trump card that can kill enemies… … .
Well, at least it was enough for the knights to uselessly destroy the formation surrounding me.
“I can move more freely now.”
Dirt dust spread thickly as if obscuring the view.
I couldn’t see where my enemies were, but I didn’t have to.
It’s also true that you can tell where your enemies are with your senses.
Because there is a way to deal with them at once anyway.
In response, I immediately replaced the divinity inside my body with cold energy and spilled that energy on the uneven ground.
blah blah blah… … !!
「The authority ‘Winter King’ is automatically activated when the conditions are met.」
「All stats are amplified by +10% and the user is not affected by cold at all.」
The cold energy imbued with divinity collected the dust and thoroughly froze the ground at the same time.
Soon, the conditions for activating the authority were satisfied, and as the ‘King of Winter’, the whole body was greatly energized.
And soon, where the dust disappeared… … .
As I thought, there were knights who were directly hit by the cold and howled in pain.
“Ah, aaaaaagh! Whoops, f*ck! bar, feet! My feet are frozen… … ! Aaaah!”
“Poetry, are you a challenger specializing in body strengthening? How could this be possible?”
“shit! Don’t get burned and attack quickly! If we don’t take the time, we’ll all die!”
However, among the knights, those with skill were not injured.
It was no different than protecting the body with an item or skill.
They all started using their various abilities to pass the time.
Skills, Traits, Powers, etc… … .
I used everything I could to reduce the damage to a minimum, and the time was meaninglessly wasted.
‘I think I know why they’re doing this.’
It was worth it.
“Four minutes have passed since you were exposed to the special power ‘Realm of the Despair’.”
「Based on Max HP, Challenger Han Seong-yoon’s HP will decrease by 50%.」
“Challenger Han Seong-yoon’s all HP recovery speed is greatly slowed down.”
As time passed, the special power that was set at the beginning activated an additional effect.
That too in the form of a significant drop in stamina.
I couldn’t help but admire him to some extent.
I hope you will be so persistent.
‘If it were Murim, I think I would have tried not to use skills or powers even if I died.’
Admitted.
Certainly, the challenger from the Ares dimension was strong.
At least it seems certain that he is better as a challenger than the Moorim people… … .
“Did you do it… … ! I finally cut off that madman’s stamina! Everyone, charge—”
Still, it didn’t matter much.
「Moonlight Covered Arm Guard (A) exclusive effect ‘Moonlight Protection’ is activated.」
「A shield made of moonlight covers the whole body in proportion to the amount of magical power consumed by the user.」
“Um, what the hell is that… … ! No way, he hid his power… … ?”
That would be too… … .
「Condition satisfied.」
「Body advantage <Moonlight Favor> is activated.」
“Since there is moonlight, all stats increase by 10%.”
“Since there is moonlight, the growth rate of all types increases by 10%.”
Anyway, so far, I’ve only dealt with them with the aim of analyzing half of them.
