232. Temple (5)
「Exclusive authority #D-0007 [Increase reward (1/2)] is activated.」
When I applied the authority to increase the reward to the 20th floor ordeal clear reward, the result appeared imdiately.
「The reward level is increased by exclusive authority #D-0007 [Reward increase (1/2)].」
「The 20th floor breakthrough reward, ‘All stats 20’ has been strengthened to ‘All stats 40’.”
「The 20th floor additional breakthrough reward ‘Skill Proficiency Up Potion (A )’ is enhanced to ‘Skill Proficiency Up Potion (S-)’.」
「The 20th floor additional breakthrough reward ‘Slayer’s longsword stained by the abyss (A-)’ is enhanced to ‘Slayer’s longsword that follows the abyss (A )’.」
I smiled lightly at the unexpected situation where the reward was different.
“I never thought that all stat increase rewards would also be subject to the right to increase rewards.”
Until now, I didn’t know that it was only activated by skills, authority, or items…
The authority to increase the reward seed to activate even for ambiguous rewards such as increasing all stats.
‘I thought the stats would be similar since rewards like points cannot be upgraded with authority.’
Satisfied with the unexpected gain, I looked around.
“It is desolate.”
Suddenly, the ground was worn out and only ashes were scattered around.
It is truly a grueso sight.
Virtually nothing to be found here.
but….
‘Still, there are still spoils left.’
In this uneven, cracked, ash-covered land, there was sothing only I could take care of.
Not different…
They were the commanders who killed countless challengers and could not be absorbed.
I imdiately stretched out my hand and sucked in all the spirits on the 20th floor trial stage.
「You have absorbed the spirit of the challenger, ‘Neng Yuchun’.」
「I have absorbed the spirit of the challenger, ‘Kayla Rath’…」
「Absorbed the spirit of the challenger ‘Gruer Martiel’…」
A sense of pleasure ran down his spine as he absorbed all of the thousands of dead spirits.
Can you absorb this many spirits?
Even if it’s not great if you look at each one, if you absorb all of them, you will definitely achieve so good growth.
Thinking of that brought a smile to my lips.
actually….
「Uses all possessed spirits to permanently increase stats.」
“Muscle strength has increased by 16.”
「Agility has increased by 14.」
“Your physical strength has increased by 15.”
「Magic power has increased by 19.」
「Durability has increased by 14.」
As soon as he used the commanders as they were, all of his stats greatly increased.
That too on a huge level.
He was even able to absorb thousands of spirits and extract skills.
I can’t even count how many skills I’ve acquired.
「The skill ‘designated target deceleration (A-)’ is created.」
「The skill ‘Abyssal Lineage (B-)’ is created…」
“The skill ‘Knight’s Oath (A )’ is created…”
System ssages filled my vision for a few minutes, then faded away.
‘I guess the roughly acquired skills are in the double digits.’
So I opened the skill window and looked at so high-level skills, but…
There weren’t many good skills.
Most of the low-grade skills are at a level that needs to be replaced with divine power.
For the reward obtained by winning against thousands of people, there is no sense of regret.
Still, I couldn’t help it.
‘It would be better to increase the value appropriately through skill synthesis and then convert it into divine power.’
Necromancy is not sothing you can arbitrarily select and take.
I touched my chin after confirming even the skills acquired through necromancy.
“…What are the conditions for increasing the necromancy level?”
I couldn’t understand.
Killing Seir Nagrat, the God of Words, wasn’t enough, so I killed two apostles…
Necromancy’s proficiency still hasn’t risen at all from 99.99%.
It bothered .
‘I thought killing a godhead would make grow, but it doesn’t seem like that, and it’s not like I kill a lot of random people…’
It was frustrating because I couldn’t find an answer even after thinking about it.
“Sorry.”
But that was only for a mont.
Realizing that nothing would change even if I worried anyway, I moved to the portal.
In any case, there is no need to stay here for long.
and….
“Go to the waiting room.”
next mont.
“You have entered the waiting room on the 21st floor.”
Before I knew it, I was able to return to the stone chamber.
***
As always, when I finished the ordeal and returned to the waiting room, I felt real.
This ti, he climbed the tower safely again and beca even stronger than before.
However, instead of extending my sentints, I confird the results of my growth through the ordeal.
『Skill – Unextinguished mortal fla (S-)』
『Proficiency – 0.001%』
『Description – It is the fla of disaster that brings about mortal causality.』
『Effect – Consus 10% of body mana per second to create a mortal fla that never goes out at will.』
The skill obtained as an achievent reward, ‘Unextinguished Mortal Fla (S-)’, was as expected.
Consuming 10% of the body’s mana per second to control a fla with trendous power.
That was the skill called this unquenchable mortal fla.
‘With this, besides the Holy Light, I’ve secured another skill for decisive battle.’
I smiled lightly at him.
The unquenchable mortal fla had the best performance in short-term battles.
Should I say it’s worth consuming 10% of the mana in the body per second?
You will be able to play an active part not only in battles with groups, but also in decisive battles between individuals.
‘I’ve acquired a great skill.’
However, this is not the only skill acquired.
『Skill – Target Deceleration (A-)』
『Proficiency – 1.01%』
『Effect – The user randomly designates a target and reduces all speeds by 40% for 1 minute.』
Finally, I also have a crowd control skill.
Of course, it doesn’t block the movent itself, but all speeds are reduced by 40%…
Still, I liked that there were no minor limitations and that it was not too difficult to use.
『Skill – Abyssal Lineage (B )』
『Proficiency – 18.7%』
『Basic effect – Ashes dwell in the blood flowing through the body, and affinity with the abyss increases.』
『Detailed Effects – It is possible to consu mana and bring in the calamity in the lineage in the form of magic.』
Among the acquired skills, this was the most deceptive skill.
Should I say that it is useless to change it to divine power, and that it is ambiguous to have it again?
‘It’s unclear what brings misfortune in the form of witchcraft.’
In response, I imdiately activated the skill with my fingertips.
「The skill ‘Abyssal Lineage’ is activated.」
「Invokes the calamity of the abyss that dwells in the lineage in the form of magic.」
And at the sa ti, the tips of his fingers were stained black, and sharp black tentacles sprouted from between them.
‘The good thing is that he knows right away how to use it.’
The skill usage itself wasn’t too difficult.
I controlled the black tentacle that sprouted from the tip of my finger with my will and shot it at the wall of the waiting room.
very quickly too.
In the blink of an eye, the black tentacle that hit the wall of the stone chamber made a noise and stopped.
Quagga…!
So far, the number of tis I’ve broken the walls of this stone chamber can be counted on my hands, so I wasn’t too disappointed.
It ca to my eyes that it had such great power.
The Abyssal Lineage skill should be at a level that can be used from ti to ti.
So there was no need to change the skill into divine power.
‘There will co a situation where I will use it later.’
After thinking about it, I released the black tentacle and checked another skill.
『Skill – Knight’s Oath (A )』
『Proficiency – 9.7%』
『Basic effect – By designating a target with the user’s will, a bond between them is created.』
『Detailed effect – Reduces the amount of damage received from an opponent with a bond by 15% for 10 minutes.』
This side didn’t have to look too long, it was worth having the skill.
That’s quite enough.
If you combine a knight’s oath with a damage reduction skill like Shock Block, damage reduction will shine even more in a 1:1 battle.
I gave him a deep smile.
“Since challengers from other dinsions appear together, the level has definitely risen.”
This growth would not have been possible without large-scale battles between challengers in many dinsions.
It’s because the skills the challengers had weren’t that high.
This was certainly one of the advantages of increasingly difficult trials.
It would have been difficult to obtain this many rewards if the one-on-one battle had not continued.
‘I’m looking forward to the integration ordeal that will co later.’
After checking all the newly acquired skills, I imdiately upgraded the useless skills through skill synthesis.
「Inherent Authority ‘Skill Synthesis’ has been activated.」
and….
「The authority ‘Blessing of the Hero’ is strongly activated.」
“Fortune temporarily and violently increases.”
「Skill synthesis has been completed.」
“A new skill is created.”
Subsequently, correction was added to skill synthesis with authority, and many good grades ca out.
Of course, that doesn’t an that the skill level has increased…
At this point, it was enough for the sacrifice to be replaced with the holy power with the seal of offering.
Skills with high ranks are of great help to the growth of divine power.
「The Seal of Offering (SS-) exclusive effect ‘Offering (供養)’ is activated.」
「I received a total of 38 skills from myself.」
「The corresponding abilities are converted into divine power and stored in the heart.」
As many skills disappeared, it was clearly felt that the divine power in the heart was inflating.
As I was concentrating on that sensation, a system ssage imdiately appeared in my field of vision.
Not different…
「The grade of the authority ‘Divine Power (A)’ will grow to the grade of ‘Divine Power (A )’.”
“The Authority ‘Divine Power (A )’ will now be able to enhance skills as well.”
Divine power has grown.
“I didn’t expect it, but I thought I could strengthen my skills with divine power…”
Newly acquired skill enhancent was no different from power enhancent.
It’s just that instead of authority, skills can be strengthened.
But the difference will be significant.
It was worth it.
‘How strong will it be if I strengthen a skill like a mortal fla that cannot be quenched with holy power?’
If you strengthen the skills you have accumulated so far with divine power, you will beco stronger than you imagined.
“It’s fun.”
At that, I smiled and checked the reward for clearing the 20th floor.
All stats increase by 40 are already known, so skip them.
We looked at the ‘Skill Proficiency Up Potion (S-)’ and the ‘Slayer’s Longsword (A ) that Follows the Abyss’ sent to the inventory.
“Now I’m looking at the 20th floor clear reward.”
Also in as much detail as possible.
***
「Skill Proficiency Up Potion」
「Rating: S-」
“A special potion specially produced by the tower for beings with skills.”
「When taken, one of the possessed skills can be arbitrarily increased by 60%.」
First of all, I looked at the skill proficiency increase potion, but I didn’t see anything to pay attention to.
A trendous effect that can arbitrarily increase skill proficiency by 60%.
Aside from this, there was nothing to look into too deeply.
It was similar to another clear reward that popped up in the description window.
「The long sword of the slayer who follows the abyss」
「Rating: A 」
“A long sword forged with the madness of a slayer who once followed the abyss.”
「It was forged by the Abyss attribute, so if you subtract the power of light, most long swords cannot be hard.」
「When challenger Han Seong-yoon uses it, the exclusive effect ‘Abyssal Magic’ can be activated.」
「In exchange for the user’s ntal power, it becos possible to use Abyssal magic that can raise power from the abyss.」
「Challenger Han Seong-yoon can activate the exclusive effect ‘Seven Madness’ when used.」
「In exchange for the user’s ntal power, it is greatly maddened over seven turns, and the more crazy it is, the greater the physical ability.」
Even this item was of no use to , who uses both the Blood Heaven Demon Sword and the Heaven Sword.
None of the exclusive effects are very appealing.
Perhaps if I use this, I won’t be much stronger than I am now.
So it didn’t make any sense to use it.
‘This is perfect as an offering to raise the level of the Fallen Sword.’
With that thought in mind, I imdiately swung the broken sword and broke the ‘Abyss-following Slayer’s Longsword (A )’.
Parka angle!
「Breaking Heaven Sword destroys things that are difficult to break, and the rank increases to S-class (7200/50000).」
Still, the durability of the long sword was outstanding, so the level of the broken sword went up a lot.
Then I drank the skill proficiency increase potion as it was.
It won’t be of much use anyway…
It was the judgnt that it would be right to raise one skill proficiency.
「You have consud the skill proficiency increase potion (S-).」
「Select a skill to increase your proficiency.」
and.
“Selection complete.”
「Challenger Han Seong-yoon’s skill, Unextinguished Mortal Fla (S-)’s proficiency increases by 60%.」
Soon, I invested a skill proficiency increase potion into the unquenchable mortal fla.
It was worth it.
‘Because this is the first decisive battle skill I’ve acquired other than the holy light.’
Because the unquenchable mortal fla was incredibly useful.
Therefore, it was natural to raise the proficiency.
Now that his proficiency has risen, he must have beco more proficient at handling the unextinguished mortal fla.
Considering that, it was a good investnt.
‘If I get another skill proficiency potion later, I’ll have to use it for the unquenchable mortal fla.’
Feeling satisfied with that, I imdiately activated one of my exclusive privileges.
「Exclusive authority E-0001 [Secret Shop] is activated.」
「The manager-only secret shop will be opened.」
It was because he had to dispose of the points he received as a reward for clearing the 20th floor ordeal.
「You paid [250000] points to the admin-only secret shop.」
“All stats increase by 5.”
Points don’t an much to anymore, so it would be better to use them like this.
“Status window.”
『Han Seong-yoon』
『Halo – Ruler』
『Muscle – 387』 『Physical strength – 379』
『Agility – 384』 『Magic Power – 408』
『Endurance – 381』
『Unique Attribute – Necromancy (A)』
『Inherent Authority – Skill Synthesis』
『Unique Divine Authority – Transcendence (SSS )』
『Basic Divine Authority – Apotheosis (SS )』
『Power – Divine Power (A) Blood Heaven (C ) Warrior’s Blessing (C ) Brightness Index (C-) Reaping Faith (C ) Shunbo (B ) Sword Spirit Strong (S ) Specter Control (B ) Heavenly Demon Body (S ) Steel Wings (C ) Iron Blood Sword (A-) Rapid Magic Recharge (C ) Sword Demon’s Path (S) God Kill Sword (S ) Purification of Faith (A ) Divine Realm Creation (C ) Soul of Steel (A ) King of Winter (D ) tamorphosis (C ) Hand of Death (B-) Power Integration (A-) Battle Desire (A ) Ghost Magic (SS-)』
『Skill – See details』
The status window that I had opened for the first ti in a while was vastly different from before.
‘Are all abilities close to 400 already?’
It’s been a while since I was happy that I had just reached 300…
When I thought that I had grown so strong, I could feel the speed of my growth.
I’m guessing there won’t be many fast-growing challengers like at the top.
But there was also a downside.
“A lot of useless powers have also increased.”
I was concerned about the increase in powers that I didn’t even use properly.
Of course, now most of them can be used to so extent.
If it ca later, it was certain that even this would be one of the wastes of power.
As ti goes by and more powers accumulate, then you should use Power Integration (A-) to remodel the powers to be useful.
‘Until then, I’ll still have to collect useless powers.’
Checking the rewards has now co to an end.
After tidying up the situation to so extent, my mind cald down and a mory suddenly ca to my mind.
It reminded of what I had heard on the 11th floor stage when I was in the realm of the God of Proof.
—If you visit the ‘Temple of Proof’ in Ares later, I might be able to shed so light on your questions.
At that ti, the god of proof said that he would be able to solve my curiosity.
Well, we haven’t been able to et since then because we’ve been busy, but we still have ti to talk.
─21st floor common area. I’ll wait for you at the Temple of Proof there. At that ti, I will also clear your doubts.
giant tree labyrinth.
At the event prepared by the tower, the god of proof spoke to .
If you co to the temple of proof, you will be able to solve your curiosity.
Even the right to increase the reward, which is being put to good use, was said to be upgraded if you stop by the Temple of Proof.
I didn’t know anything else, but I couldn’t ignore the upgrade of the reward increase authority.
“Now I can grow my authority to increase my reward.”
so….
“Go to the common area on the 21st floor.”
Now it was ti to go to the Temple of Proof to keep that promise.
