178. Depth (4)
A lich is a monster but does not possess the weakness of a monster.
Unlike normal monsters, he didn’t lose his sanity and wasn’t addicted to demonic energy, so he didn’t have most of the weaknesses of monsters.
It’s a huge advantage that doesn’t seem like a monster with a low thinking ability itself…
but it was worth it.
Originally, the magician, who was just a human, obtained the magic through a contract with the devil.
And among these rich objects, there were also those who were classified as new beings.
High Rich.
Beyond common sense, the monster among monsters that can easily live for hundreds of years did not feel fear.
For the High Lich, fear is now a remnant of a distant past.
It was the same with Carbet.
“Carbet. Humans have entered the 4th floor.”
Now he was not even thrilled by the news of the intruders.
“Another foolish challenger has entered…”
Dalgrak-.
Carbett said in a low voice with red eyes flashing at the subordinate’s report.
“70 years… no… it seems like over 100 years have passed… but are there still people entering this labyrinth…
” went.
“My guess is that maybe they are challengers, not selected seekers.”
“The challenger, not the explorer… I see… Has the competition of the gods begun…”
“I think so.”
“Yes, competition. It’s been a while. But no matter how challengers you are, you won’t be able to come this far.”
Carbett opened her mouth as she recalled the past, which she couldn’t remember anymore.
“Nothing to worry about. The challengers who have passed this place so far can be counted on one hand.”
He was not very wary of challengers.
He would be like that too…
For more than a few hundred years, the number of challengers who have passed through his hand and flowed downstairs downstairs is about to be counted on one hand.
‘Of course, there were those who sneaked downstairs like rats… but that’s just impossible now.’
It was the moment when Carbett was about to give a congratulatory order to her subordinates with her body sagging.
Hard-.
Suddenly, the ground shook slightly, and the castle where Carbett lived shook slightly.
“what…?”
Carbett touched her chin as if she couldn’t understand the vibration of the earth.
It is not a natural earthquake.
Since the giant tree labyrinth is a labyrinth created inside the World Tree, natural earthquakes cannot occur.
Then this must mean that this vibration was caused artificially…
It was difficult to know where the hell these vibrations came from.
It was then.
“Ka Karbet! this…!”
The vampire subordinate dyed his already pale face even paler and held a mirror made of blood at Calbet.
And…
“…”
Calbet, who saw the scene reflected in the mirror, called out to his subordinate in a tense voice.
“Richard.”
“yes.”
“It is an emergency. Even if you don’t say it, you’ll know it well. Establish a boundary right now through the monsters.”
“I see!”
“And call Sir Berhag.”
Berhag.
Among the monsters currently on the 4th floor, the death knight, who was close to the strongest, could not be called carelessly.
Because he is addicted to training, devoting all his time to training.
Calling him for trivial matters would turn the fourth floor into chaos.
So Richard had no choice but to ask again with his face hardened.
“Do I really have to call Lord Berhag…?”
“okay. It’s this kind of emergency, so we’ll have to call him too.”
“I see. However, he may not answer the call…”
“There is no need to worry about that. Lord Berhag will respond to the call.”
“yes?”
“Isn’t it a situation that has no choice but to be like that in the first place?”
Carbet said in a deep voice as if declaring.
“It’s nothing else, a new Demon King has appeared.”
The demon king appeared in the giant tree labyrinth.
***
“Suddenly, my ears are itching.”
I squinted my eyes at the itchy feeling that made me feel bad for some reason…
but that was only for a moment.
―Kreurreuk…!
As I moved toward the center of the [Dark Zone], I saw the newly appeared monsters and smiled.
It was worth it.
Even the monsters that looked like wolves always felt divine power.
‘It’s good.’
It’s also several times better than things like skeletons. freewebnøvel.coɱ
However, unlike the skeletons, the wolf-like monsters were not ruled by King Manmaji.
It was even more hostile to me because of the reverence planted by King Manmaji, to the point of shedding life…
At this point, it was difficult to avoid the fight.
“Looks like you can’t even eat this raw.”
In response, I had no choice but to use the new moon sword in my hand to channel my magic.
「With the effect exclusive to the Sword of New Moon (C+), all of the user’s stats increase by +1.」 Let
the sword ripped from the ancient demon radiate light as if it would pay for it…
“With the exclusive effect of the Sword of New Moon (C+) Within the range of the moonlight, the magic power of all allies increases by +1.”
Next, the soft moonlight permeated the team members around them and raised their magic power.
「By using an item dedicated to the labyrinth, 10 [MP] is consumed every minute.」
Well, in return, [MP] was used…
In the first place, the labyrinth-only stats can be recovered as much as you like with the Box of Life.
It just takes a little bit of time.
So, without worrying too much, I was able to run straight to the wolf-like monsters.
Immediately kicking off the ground and running out, I heard the busy voices of my teammates from behind.
“He’s running out like that again…! Fast, quick support system authority…!”
“Actually, I don’t think I can do anything for you, but I’ll cast a protection spell.”
And…
「All stats are temporarily increased by +2 by the authority ‘Blessing of Fire’.」
「Automatic defense function is used up to 4 times by the skill ‘Wind Shield’.
」 rises, and in addition to that, a gust of wind is also wrapped around it.
‘Now I’m paying for it.’
To be honest, so far it’s been a fight close to a one-man show… but
it was natural for the team members to recover to some extent once they reached the 4th floor.
This was the same for Kim Seung-hun, not Catherine Bennet or Oh Chun-seok, who belonged to the wizard.
「Enemies within the specified range, excluding allies, are electrocuted by the authority ‘Hammer of Lightning’.」
Kwagwagwang—!
As soon as Kim Seung-hoon swung his two-handed hammer, electricity was immediately released from the hammer and scattered.
‘nice.’
Even if it wasn’t, I thought it would be a bit annoying because I was at a numerical disadvantage…
Kim Seung-hun used stun in a wide area and the wolf demons became sluggish.
But the satisfaction was only momentary.
Sherry Rick!
The shadow of a certain wolf monster stretched out like a whip and stretched…
Despite reflexively avoiding it, it contacted my shadow and caused an accident.
「Movement speed is reduced by -10% due to the special power ‘Shadow Catch’.」
Still, is it a monster with divine power?
‘I didn’t know how to use the authority.’
Unlike normal monsters, it consumed divine power and even used authority.
Even because it was a special power, the debuff was stronger than I thought.
I couldn’t stop the activation of the authority, but
I unconditionally lowered my movement speed by 10%.
Kkeugg…!
Shadows from beneath the feet of the demonic wolves stretched out like a tidal wave and rushed at me.
「Movement speed is reduced by -10% by the special power ‘Hold on the Shadow’.」
「Movement speed is decreased by -10% by the special power ‘Hold on the Shadow’…] 「
By the special power ‘Hold on the Shadow’ Movement speed decreased by -10%…」
“….”
I missed the skill called Forced Breakthrough that I had acquired in the past.
It was only after the flowers withered that they knew it was spring, and that was the situation.
But should it be said that it is a case of attack?
Wedge liquid!
Black energy gushed out from the wolf monsters, and it was transformed into a short spear and fired at me.
「The attack is extinguished by the skill ‘Wind Shield’.」
Of course, it was immediately extinguished by the wind shield given by Oh Chun-Seok… but
I couldn’t help but be astonished at the fact that the wolf monster attacked from a distance.
‘It looks like a wolf, so it slows down movement speed and attacks from a distance in an ugly way?’
In a way, these werewolves were more vicious than the ancient demons they had fought before.
At least the ancient demons didn’t fight so nasty.
Subsequently, black energy poured down like rain, and the number of automatic defenses of the windshield was exhausted in an instant
.
「The skill ‘Eat Spell’ is activated.」
Because there is a skill I bought in advance knowing this.
Of course, since it is a skill that only absorbs spells, it could have been useless, but were the skewers composed of that black energy also spells?
「It consumes magical energy and replaces all spells that touch the body with temporary ability values.」
As soon as the black energy touched the skin, the magical energy was consumed and vitality surged from the body.
To be honest, if you look at it this far, it feels like a great fraudulent skill, but…
‘I can’t say that efficiency is good even with empty words.’
In reality, it was safe to say that it was a machine that consumed mana.
It took so much mana just to block an attack of this level.
After confirming that it wasn’t a skill I would use, I activated another skill.
「The skill ‘Out of Control’ is activated.」
「Ignores all status ailments for 10 seconds.」
After several stacked movement speed drops disappear.
He immediately jumped into the center where the wolf monsters were gathered and energized the sword.
「The skill ‘Amplification of Intention’ is activated.」
And…
「The Authority, ‘Sword Spirit Merchant’ is activated.」
Next, I use the amplified Intention to evolve the sword spirit into Sword Flame, giving additional properties. did.
「The authority ‘Sword Spirit Merchant’ will grow into the Authority ‘Sword Flame Martian’.” A
very simple property of an explosion.
However, the resulting result was enormous, not suitable for simple property assignment.
Kwakwagwagwang—!
The demonic wolves, touched by the sword, were swept away by the explosion without even giving a final word.
Soon after swinging the sword a few more times, the corpses of the wolf demons were torn apart like rags.
「The labyrinth achievement ‘Rare’ has been achieved.] 「The labyrinth score
+4 has been obtained.」
「The labyrinth achievement ‘Sword Master (Rare)’ has been achieved…」
Acquired…]
「Achieved labyrinth achievement ‘Rare’…」
「Acquired labyrinth score +4…」
“Sweet.”
It was a fight that was uglier than I thought, but the achievements that came as rewards were sweet as well.
In addition…
“Sacred extraction successful.”
By absorbing the spirits of all the wolf monsters around him, he collected a lot of divine power.
Oh, of course, compared to the divine power that was originally stored in my heart, it was a bit small, but there was nothing I could do about it.
This level of supply and demand would have been everything before he could easily take divinity like eating a cake through a deal (?) with a lich.
‘But I still can’t help but regret it.’
It was the moment when he licked his lips and tried to move his teammates.
“Ha ha ha! Carbet was right! I couldn’t believe the demon king was in a place like this!”
A knight armed with black armor appeared from beyond the corpses of wolf monsters piled up like a mountain.
“Finally, you will see the results of your training! Come, demon king in human form!”
As soon as I saw him, I instinctively realized that he wasn’t even a human, let alone a challenger.
“I will kill you today and this body will become a true death knight!”
Also…
“Oh.”
The fact that this article will serve as both a guide and a sacrifice of divine power to guide the lich.
