230. Temple (3)
Up until now, while climbing the tower, I used a lot of strong enemy buffs.
It was worth it.
Before I acquired the < Transcendence > divinity on the 17th floor, I always battled strong opponents on a daily basis.
However, after going through a battle with the Heavenly Demon and obtaining numerous rewards in the giant tree labyrinth, I escaped the battle to a certain extent.
At most, fighting the usurper was a case of almost losing one’s life…
Compared to before, it was certain that the use of the semi-final buff was reduced.
So I couldn’t understand more.
This situation wasn’t dangerous enough to activate a strong enemy buff in my opinion.
「Faced enemies that were difficult for the user to handle.」
「The skill ‘Indomitable Will’ is activated.」
Physical ability increase, concentration increase, learning ability strengthened, mental protection strengthened, etc…
After a long time, due to the Unbreakable Will skill, various abilities have been obtained. they got stronger
But the change did not stop there.
「The special spell activation conditions have been met.」
「 The special spell < Despise the Strong > is activated.」
「All stats and skill efficiency increase by 100% until the end of the battle.」
The exclusive spell he had purchased was activated, and his body surged with vitality.
At this point, without any skills or divinity, it seemed like the level of an apostle could be beaten with bare hands.
Presumably, in this state, if you use the Shinhwa < Reversal Hero >, even an apostle will be able to defeat it without much difficulty.
I rolled my eyes at him.
[ So absurd. ]
According to common sense, the current situation wasn’t enough to activate a strong enemy buff.
Even though the god of balance used < Advent > on Gloria, the challenger who took on the role of [Saint Woman]…
Even so, unless the godhead had sent down the incarnation, there was no way the strong enemy buff would be activated.
Even…
‘The god of balance is definitely not an ancient deity…’
Among the ancient deities seen in the giant tree labyrinth, there was no one who handled the divinity < Balance >.
And there’s no way the Tower would just stand by and see someone like an ancient deity directly intervene.
Therefore, it probably means that the god of balance who descended to Gloria is not an ancient deity…
That’s why I felt more uncomfortable.
As I squeezed my hand holding the sword wave with my eyes closed, the Blood Heaven Demon Sword rang out.
-I think you know what it is. You don’t have to think too complicated. Perhaps the God of Balance is your nemesis.
[ Nemesis…? ]
―Originally, there is a compatibility between divinities according to their divinity. Perhaps the divinity < Balance > is something like a nemesis to you.
[ …. ]
At those words, I thought as I looked at the blonde saintess with a brilliant light.
‘It’s a natural enemy.’
There was a point.
The strong enemy buffs wouldn’t have been activated all at once, as if the godhead had cast < Advent > for no reason.
In terms of cause and effect, it is probably correct to say that the god of balance is my nemesis.
Still, questions were bound to arise as to why the judgment of opponents was as strong as that of < Advent >, a divinity.
But the question didn’t last long.
「The Divine < Balance > is used.」
That would be the case…
「By the Divine < Balance >, the strength of all challengers within the 20th floor ordeal is balanced.」
Within a few seconds, you can directly experience the cause. because there was
***
Balance.
To do it evenly without leaning to one side or the other.
The moment when what I knew only as words became a divine power and was activated.
[ …. ]
I felt it as I watched the golden divinity flowing from my body fade.
「By Divinity < Balance >, all challengers’ ability to manifest Divinity is sealed.」
“By Divinity < Balance >, all challengers’ stats are fixed at [150].」 “
By Divinity < Balance >, all challengers’ divinity is The ability to deal directly is sealed.」
「By the divine < Balance >, all challengers’ natural recovery of physical strength is sealed.」 「
By the divine < Balance >, all challengers’ natural magic recovery is sealed.
」 It means that he didn’t make a strong adversary decision.
「The use of Apotheosis is prohibited by Divinity < Balance >.」
「The Divine authority ‘Apotheosis’ is disabled and cannot be reused for 8 hours
. 」
is unlocked and all stats are fixed at an absurd level.
The same goes for the ability level raised by the exclusive spell < Despise the Strong >.
At least, the physical ability raised by the Indomitable Will skill is not related to the ability level, so the effect is maintained…
but it was not a very hopeful situation.
‘Are all the abilities to deal with divinity sealed…’
Divinity replacement ability as well as some powers and skills were sealed.
Among them, there was also a holy light that became a power skill.
I expected the exclusive perk ‘Absolute Preservation’ I bought in the giant tree labyrinth to resist the divine < Balance >… but
things didn’t go as smoothly as I thought.
「Due to the myth < Equality of All >, the exclusive perk ‘Absolute Preservation (SSS+)’ is temporarily disabled.” The
god of balance who wrote < Advent > on Gloria activated the myth.
“Due to the myth < Equality of All People >, the automatic activation of divine < Yeokcheon > is canceled.
”
―I never thought that the god who wrote < Advent > could also write a myth…
Damcheonwu admired it when he saw it.
―It seems that the tower has given you a high value.
This means that even if the god who wrote < Advent > could write Shinhwa, Tower judged that I would be able to handle it
.
It didn’t feel good to be recognized like this by TOP.
It was worth it.
Originally, it was my intention to finish the trials on the 20th floor as quickly as possible and upgrade the authority to increase the reward in the common area on the 21st floor.
Even with so many enemies, it was not possible to maximize the efficiency of the rewards that could be obtained.
So I felt a lot of regret.
‘It would have been better if I had faced the enemies like this after the reward increase was completed.’
But it was only for a moment that he licked his lips.
[Challenger with the divinity of transcendence. ]
It was because the saintess over there opened her mouth before she knew it.
[You… broke the balance too much. I can assure you that the quality of the crime will never be low. ]
No, to be precise, it must be the God of Balance who cast < Advent > on the saintess Gloria.
[Pay for your sins with your life and repent of your sins while climbing the tower. ]
Before he could even reply to that absurd statement, something happened.
It’s nothing else…
The ice melted and the challengers, who were able to move, quickly kicked the ground.
“Rotten! I don’t know what it is, but now the tide is turning. Fuck that fucking monster!”
“Anyway, all abilities are the same. If the divine ability is also sealed, that is no big deal anymore.”
“Jinhyung! Get in shape! And don’t let that bastard get close to the saintess! Then win!”
It is said that even if it rots, it is still raw…
As soon as the ankles that were caught in the ice field heavily strengthened by the divine < Rules > were released, the challengers began to move in haste.
very quickly too.
I’m guessing it seems that it was known to them that the balance patch was carried out to some extent by the divine < balance >…
It was fun.
“Is it a battle with pure skill without divinity…”
It was well worth it.
「The special power ‘Hunger for battle’ is activated by satisfying the conditions.」
「It becomes easier to immerse yourself in battle, and all skill proficiency increases by 300%.」
“Skills will improve a lot after a long time.”
Originally, I liked fighting with skills and martial arts without divinity.
***
As I saw countless challengers approaching me, I immediately absorbed the command.
「Absorbs the spirit of challenger ‘Cliff Sherid’ to permanently increase stats.」
「Muscle strength increased by 1.」
「Agility increased by 1.」
「Stamina increased by 2.」
「Magic power increased by 4. .」
「Durability increased by 2.」
Of course, the permanent stat increase was not applied immediately by the divine < Balance >…
but if left as it is anyway, it will be consumed as a meaningless shield by the offensive attacks of the challengers.
There was no point in wasting the spirit of someone who was strong enough to use Sadohwa.
So even if it didn’t help at first, I used it right away.
however.
「Absorbs one of the skills that challenger ‘Cliff Sherid’ has.」
「The skill ‘Battle Acceleration (A+)’ is created.」
An A+ class skill was created as an unexpected benefit.
‘nice.’
and.
「The skill ‘Battle Acceleration’ is activated.」
「All actions related to the battle are greatly accelerated until the end of the battle.」
Numerous skills began to be activated starting from the newly acquired skill.
「The skill ‘Focus on Combat’ is activated.」
「The skill ‘Instantaneous Acceleration’ is activated…」
「The skill ‘Amplification of Thought’ is active…]
It wasn’t just that.
「Boss Skill skill ‘Grace of Wind’ is activated.」
「All speeds are increased by 80%.」
「Current skill overlap progress – [8]」
Abilities that do not directly deal with divinity are not affected by divinity < balance >. didn’t it?
「Myth < Possibility of Transcendence > is activated.」
「Applies the effect of < Causal Reversal >
to challenger Han Seong-yoon.
」 Challenger Han Seong-yoon has the effect of < Divinity Ascension >.」
「Each time you win against a divine power, the level of divinity of challenger Han Seong-yoon increases.」 「
Each time you repeat victory, ascension gets closer.
」 Therefore, when divinity rises, special rewards are sometimes given.」 I
was able to activate < Possibility of Transcendence >, a myth that has no direct relationship to dealing with divine power.
Of course, even if the level of divinity grew, it would be useless right now…
but I thought that there was no myth more useful than this.
At least against a bunch of challengers.
It was the moment when he kicked off the ground and rushed to the place where the challengers were crowded.
Chijing-!
「The skill ‘Tears of the Desperate’ decreases movement speed by up to 40% in proportion to the duration of the battle.」 「The skill ‘
Flow of the Lowest Place’ designates the challenger Han Seong-yoon to take an additional 100% of all damage. .」
「The skill ‘Twisted Lightning Rod of Thunder’ acquires the ‘Fill’ effect on all magic fired at challenger Han Seong-yoon.」 In the blink of an eye, unknown letters appeared all over the body and
applied all sorts of debuffs. .
Even that is a lot.
I laughed at the endless system messages that I couldn’t read all of them.
It was worth it.
「The skill ‘Endless Spell Devour’ is activated.」
「All spells that touch the body are converted into pure magical power.」
Even so, none of the spells are useless to me anyway.
It was impossible to even keep me in check with mere magic, not a skill that does not use spells.
As it was, I absorbed hundreds of spells clinging to my body at once and converted them into magic power.
Shockingly, one of the wizards behind enemy lines exclaimed in horror.
“What kind of dog is this…! Master Spell Infinite Devour? The spell itself is of no use at all?”
But there was no time to worry about it.
Let’s go!
It was because there were so many arrows pouring down that they filled his field of vision again in a short time.
It’s probably because he’s trying to take some of his strength out of the distance.
It didn’t matter because I had recently acquired a skill that could block it to some extent.
「Skill ‘Shock Block’ is activated.」
Shock Block.
A skill that definitively blocks 30% of all damage, regardless of penetration.
When it was activated, it blocked the rain of arrows that hit the whole body.
It’s also very neat.
Titititting…!
Most of the arrows that hit the body ricocheted out without even penetrating the skin.
Of course, there were minor wounds from tapping the skin, but even those were not serious enough to lead to serious injuries.
But that didn’t mean there was no damage at all.
Hit by a barrage of arrows, his progress was delayed.
‘The wounds started to accumulate more and more.’
Even Gray Blood became a powerful skill and it was activated by consuming divine power, so it was in a sealed state… There
weren’t many means to recover.
It got a little better when I used the power of the blood cheongong, but even this was not as effective compared to the gray blood.
In the end…
instead of holding on and moving forward, I chose to defend.
「The skill ‘Counterattack Shield’ is activated.」
By spreading the counterattack shield wide and making it like a veil, the burden on the body is considerably reduced.
But even so, the progress stopped and it was not a benefit.
As it is, the time to maintain the counterattack shield must be limited.
There are a lot of challengers over there, so we can continue the long-term battle.
[The arrogance of thinking that you can do anything is holding you back.]
The God of Balance, who had < Advent > on the saintess’ body, helped with a word.
It was as if he believed that he would die soon.
However, I quietly waited for the right time without replying to that.
That’s probably the case too…
「Charged.」
「The skill ‘Counter Shield’ is in a state where it can reflect the accumulated damage.」
The reason I stayed still until now was to gain momentum.
