Chapter 207. Bottomless Pit (2)
Schwick!
A clean cutting sound, and a message materialized.
〚You have defeated a Goblin Mutant Warrior LV 6!〛
〚You have acquired 90 (+90) experience points!〛
〚You have acquired 45 coins!〛
The mutant goblin, at least twice as massive as the other goblins guarding the 9th Floor, dissolved into pixels and scattered into the void.
Simultaneously, the blessing of the Bottomless Pit surged through my body.
〚LEVEL UP!〛
〚You have acquired 1 free point!〛
The moment I reached level 2, I raised my Magic Power stat to 4, then opened my status window after brushing the green blood from the Omniscient Demon Sword I had created.
“Now I’m level 5…”
I had completed every single quest presented on each floor flawlessly. Moreover, with the sword’s effect granting a 100% experience multiplier! It meant my growth rate far exceeded the average. Yet I felt no satisfaction.
I needed higher levels, growth that transcended others—in other words, fortuitous encounters.
This sensation was almost like an addiction.
〚Floors 1 through 10 are essentially a Tutorial, so growth is fixed. There’s no need to rush.〛
“I know, I know. I’m just frustrated.”
〚That frustration should be thoroughly relieved on the next floor.〛
I nodded, gazing at the portal to the 10th Floor that had materialized where the Goblin Mutant Warrior fell.
“What should I do about this?”
Perhaps the monsters here were somewhat unusual?
Through the Demon Spirit Eye granted by the Master of Ten Thousand Demons, the souls of these creatures appeared to me like incomplete halves, as if something vital was missing. Yes, like machines devoid of reason and intellect.
〚That is because they are bound to the Labyrinth of the Bottomless Pit. Should you accept them as subordinates, the binding mark will be erased, and they will become like other souls.〛
I nodded. Up until the 9th Floor, I had managed through my own strength, but since the 10th Floor contains a Hidden Stage where I can obtain the first chapter of Lemegeton, I needed to prepare as much as possible.
“Tsk, it doesn’t really appeal to me though.”
〚Subordination: 0/9〛
I was currently under severe limitations imposed by the Bottomless Pit. It meant I had to fill each slot carefully and deliberately.
After deliberating for some time, I made my decision.
“It’s wasteful. Such a magnificent power is too great to use on mere goblin mutations.”
The moment I finished deciding, I waved my hand, and the Bottomless Pit recognized my will, collecting the soul.
I gripped my sword and steadied my breathing. I’ll ascend for now. The monsters on the 10th Floor, excluding the Hidden Stage, should be easy prey.
Of course they would be. I wielded the Omniscient Demon Sword I had created.
〚Item: Omniscient Demon Sword (萬蟒神魔劍)
Grade: 1★
LV 1 (0%)
Description: A sword containing everything of the Imoogi that dreamed of ascension through ten thousand years of cultivation. After ten thousand years of training, whether the Imoogi becomes a draconic calamity that plunges the world into darkness or a divine dragon that illuminates and guides the world with light—no one knows.
Abilities
-Growth-type Equipment (MAX 10 LV – MAX Origin Grade)
-All Stats Fixed +10
-All Experience Acquisition Rate +100%
-Skill: Ten Thousand Extremes [Normal-EX+] Available
-LV 2 Unlocked〛
All Stats +10!
Ten is a meager number, yet no reward had ever satisfied me more than this in my current state.
After a quick inspection by moving my body once, I pushed myself into the portal leading to the 10th Floor, and the world inverted.
〚Bottomless Pit – 10th Floor
Grade: 1★
Difficulty: Extreme
Objective: Eliminate Goblin Mutant Lord (0/1)
Time Limit: 24 hours
Success: 100 Coins, Spare Points +3, Random 1-Star Item
Failure: Death or Forced Withdrawal〛
The 10th Floor was a castle—a goblin stronghold. Within it, over a hundred mutant goblins, their bodies dyed not green but black, awaited the enemy’s invasion under their king’s command, their bloodlust dripping like water.
‘Do I really have to break through all of them and kill the king?’
My Demonic Eyes manifested, and the status windows of my enemies came into focus. Most were level 7 to 8, with stats averaging around 5 for 1-Star grade. Only a handful who appeared to be commanders possessed slightly higher 2-Star stats.
In a one-on-one confrontation, they wouldn’t be difficult—I could win. But the enemy came in numbers.
The goblins on the castle walls alone numbered over a hundred. Attacking one side meant I’d inevitably face all of them alone.
“What should I do?”
Summoned in a Forest some distance from the castle and concealing my presence, I closed my eyes and continued thinking.
“Tsk, if only I could use the Golden Tower.”
Strictly speaking, I could use it. It’s a power imbued with the Creator’s will, after all. Moreover, it’s a force completely synchronized with the Concept: Sky.
No matter how formidable the Bottomless Pit is, completely sealing a Concept is absurd.
If that were possible, the Concept Divine Seats would surely face restrictions too. My power is still unstable, which is why it could be sealed, but if I wished, I could break the seal and use the power regardless.
Only, if I did that….
〚You would be stripped of your right to enter the Bottomless Pit. Since you’d be cheating. Be grateful that you’re starting with the power of a Demon and clear it with that.〛
Right, I’d be immediately expelled. I exhaled deeply and opened the System window, searching for and recalling a single message.
〚Hidden Class Quest (4): Lemegeton’s First Key
Grade: Mythic
Rank: EX
Description: The great and noble Demon Solomon divided his power into three parts and scattered them throughout the Abyss. No one knows what future he foresaw in doing so, but one thing is certain—if you obtain all three powers, you will gain the true qualifications to become the Demon’s Successor. Having obtained the first power to stand above all Demons, now obtain the second power to consume and command all Demons.
Objective: Acquire Mythic Divine Artifact: Lemegeton’s First Key – Ars Goetia (0/1)
Success: Hidden Class Quest (5) Generated, Job 2nd Awakening Condition (1/5) Achieved, ???
Failure: Job Revoked. Unconditional Hostility from All Demons.〛
The first key of Lemegeton I must obtain on the 10th Floor—Ars Goetia.
Since I cannot abandon this, I drew a deep breath and moved my magical power.
“Create.”
The ring gleamed, reading my will and thoughts, calculating the price for the desired object.
〚Item: Holy Light [1★] requires 555 MP to create.〛
Despite its impressive name, it’s merely a magical bomb infused with some holy power. Not even the best among 1-Star grade, but something positioned in the middle tier.
“But this much will suffice.”
At a glance, those black creatures are corrupted by demonic energy. They would be antithetical to divine power.
To sweep away that fortress and the goblins with minimal casualties, I’d need roughly ten bombs. That’s why I’m creating this creature—the only one imbued with even a trace of divine power.
My current Ma stat is 16. It’s the result of investing all five bonus points earned climbing to level 5, plus the one bonus point I received on the 1st Floor.
Unfortunately, I only obtained bonus points on the 1st Floor, so all my other stats remain at 11. But I have no regrets. Right now, I desperately need mana to wield the power of creation.
4,800 MP. In other words, I could create eight bombs.
“It’ll take roughly three hours to fully recover…”
For now, I had no choice but to rest while crafting bombs. I began creation immediately, and after approximately four hours, I rose to my feet.
Twelve bombs lay dormant in my pocket, waiting only for the moment of detonation, and I swiftly exited the Forest.
—Kieeeek!!!
The moment I emerged from the Forest, a black goblin that spotted me let out a horrific shriek. At the cry of their comrade, every goblin’s gaze turned toward me.
The pressure that swept across my body—mere rage from insignificant creatures, hardly worthy of being called overwhelming—set my heart pounding.
With a sensation as though I were truly alive, I reached into my pocket and hurled a small sphere toward the goblins rushing at me.
The sphere cut through the air, soaring above the fortress before erupting in tremendous light.
Kwaaang!!
It was weaker than the small sun bombs I’d created long ago—right after my regression, during the Tutorial—using The Sun’s demonic power, but it was certainly a bomb capable of dealing meaningful damage.
In an instant, the black auras within the blast radius began to glow, the fortress walls crumbled starting from the upper section, and the goblins that took the most direct damage left no trace of their forms.
Messages of enemy elimination scrolled rapidly upward, and as I received confirmation of my attack’s success, I was able to approach near the fortress walls.
—Kieeeek!
—Kegegek!
With over ten comrades dead in an instant and more than twenty wounded, the goblins revealed their formidable hostility and began leaping from the fortress walls to charge at me.
‘Sixty on the walls. Thirty below.’
Of the sixty above, roughly twenty were too injured to fight effectively. After quickly calculating in my mind, I retreated backward, evading the charging enemies as though preventing them from reaching the fortress walls.
“Here, have some of this.”
I immediately drew four bombs and hurled them toward the charging creatures.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Small bursts of light erupted, and the mutant goblins were swept away before they could even dodge.
—Ki…kiek!
—Kekekek!
A few were fortunate enough to survive, but they were already in no condition to fight me. I immediately moved, dispatching them before charging toward the fortress walls once more.
The tide had already turned. The mutant goblins had already lost their morale. Watching their comrades swept away by the small spheres, they were consumed by fear, and without mounting any real resistance, they collapsed along with the fortress walls.
“Used exactly ten.”
Had they fought to the bitter end, I might have needed all twelve, but since they accepted their fate and surrendered, I was able to conserve two.
As I entered within the fortress walls, a small village came into view, and at its center, a massive tent caught my eye.
“There it is.”
It was unmistakably the dwelling of this Kingdom’s ruler.
Fortunately, there were no other goblins within the Kingdom. It seemed those guarding the fortress walls were all there were. Gripping my sword slowly, I approached the central tent and came to a stop before its entrance.
“No need to exhaust myself fighting an opponent at full strength.”
After slightly opening the tent’s flap, I smiled coldly at the Goblin Mutant Lord whose eyes met mine, then drew the remaining two bombs from my pocket and hurled them toward him.
As if instinctively sensing the bombs’ danger, the creature attempted to evade, but I closed the flap behind me, savoring the explosion that followed and the Lord’s anguished shriek as I gripped my sword tightly.
“Time for the finishing blow~~!”
I simply entered the tent and easily severed the Goblin Mutant Lord’s power as it was caught in the explosion.
