Skill Devouring to the 666th Floor Episode 112

112. Labyrinth Underground 135th Floor

[You have entered Labyrinth Underground Floor 130.]

《Type: Battle》

《Condition: Alone without help from others》

《Mission: Win in a 1-on-1 Arena Battle.》

[You cannot exit until the mission is completed.]

I had already done a battle mission on the 50th Floor.

‘The first match was a fight against myself, and after that, universal opponents were randomly matched.’

The 130th Floor isn’t any different.

There’s just no fight against myself.

[Now, let me check the participant’s information before the duel.]

【Arena Battle】

◎Grade: Expert

◎Universal Ranking: 26,717,555,735th

◎Earth Ranking: 1st

◎MMR: 1,270 points

◎Arena Record: 10 wins 0 draws 0 losses

◎Grand Arena Record: 0 wins 0 draws 0 losses

◎BP Held: 80

[Participant information confirmed.]

[Starting random matching with participants of similar MMR scores.]

[Please wait a moment.]

Given preparation time, I took out the Transformation Branch from my Inventory.

Then, I closed my eyes and recalled it.

The appearance of the gun used by the Apostle of the Transcendent Spirit Moonlight Marksman.

Tssssss―

The branch transformed, revealing a long barrel.

Exactly as I imagined.

‘It’s identical to the gun sponsored by the Moonlight Marksman.’

Thanks to Clear Mind Like Still Water, I could perfectly recreate even a gun I had only glimpsed.

However, just because I changed the weapon to a gun doesn’t mean I can use it right away.

‘I need to get bullets separately.’

I loaded the Moonlight Bullets I had already obtained into the magazine.

Click!

Up to ten rounds can be loaded.

At only 100 Credits per bullet, there was no burden.

‘Plus, it increases bullet speed when using Moonlight Shot.’

Moonlight Bullets are essential when using skills.

Moonlight Shot is a skill needed for the 135th Floor Hidden Piece, but I plan to use it early.

‘Having a ranged skill is definitely advantageous when fighting battles.’

After finishing preparations, I checked the skill once more for inspection.

▷Moonlight Shot(A)

―Effect: Shoots with the power of moonlight. Requires a gun and bullets. Destructive power doubles at night.

It was a ranged skill with considerable attack power.

It had the terrifying condition of doubling destructive power.

‘However, it has the drawback of only being effective at night.’

Fortunately, there’s a skill that works well in combination with this one.

▷Moonlight in Darkness(A)

―Effect: Temporarily plunges a 10km radius into darkness. Artificial darkness does not affect the Caster’s vision. Bullet speed amplifies by 20% when using Moonlight Shot.

‘It’s a good skill that can temporarily interfere with the opponent’s vision while doubling both bullet speed and Moonlight Shot’s destructive power.’

When used in combination with this skill, Moonlight Shot always produces double destructive power.

Whether it’s day or night.

[Match opponent found!]

[Your duel opponent will appear before you in 10 seconds.]

[Prepare for the duel.]

[10…]

[3…]

[2…]

[1…]

[The duel begins!]

[Time remaining until duel ends: 9 minutes 59 seconds]

As the battle started, I, who was already aiming, used my skill.

‘Moonlight in Darkness.’

The opponent that appeared was a monster, just like last time.

When I turned off the lights, it began to panic, looking around in the suddenly darkened environment.

At that moment.

‘Moonlight Shot.’

The bullet that left the gun barrel burst the monster’s head like a watermelon.

It was an instant moment with no chance to dodge.

《Victory!》

《My MMR 1,300(+30) points》

[11 Win Streak Achieved!]

[Win streak bonus (+10) applied.]

[30 Battle Points acquired.]

Following my previous record, I achieved an 11 win streak.

Originally 20 points, but I gained 30 points with the bonus.

Getting maximum BP was the same as well.

[Floor 130 clear time: 1 second]

[Cleared in record time!]

I set a new record too.

[Achievement unlocked as record clear reward.]

[Achievement ‘First Strike Victory (E)’ has been unlocked.]

[Achievement will be returned if a new record is set within 10 days.]

[If no new record holder appears, Achievement effect will be permanently acquired.]

▶First Strike Victory (E)

―Acquisition path: Labyrinth Underground Floor 130

―Effect: Deals 10% additional damage on first attack.

―Time remaining until permanent acquisition: 9 days 23 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds

Similar effect to the One Shot One Kill Achievement I received on the 50th Floor.

But this one’s better.

Because they stack.

[Would you like to descend to the Next Floor? Y/N]

[Selecting N allows return to Earth.]

Now that I got the Achievement, I should go right away.

Splat!

[14 Win Streak Achieved!]

Splat!

[15 Win Streak Achieved!]

One Shot One Kill.

I recorded consecutive victories up to Floor 134.

An elephant-like monster, an alien with an octopus face, a beast that was confusing whether it was a tree or monster, etc.

No matter what opponent appeared, a snap of my fingers made all their heads explode.

None of them could dodge.

They all fell helplessly to the Moonlight in Darkness + Moonlight Shot combo.

‘Nice. Just pulling the trigger from long range ends everything.’

I did film with the Action Camera, but there weren’t many scenes worth keeping.

When heads explode and scatter light right from the start, what strategy is needed?

‘I should upload battle videos as compilations rather than one by one.’

Now I’ve reached my target, Floor 135.

The condition to get the Hidden Piece here isn’t much.

Just defeat the opponent with Moonlight Shot and it’s done.

‘If I just do what I’ve been doing, the Hidden Piece will come for free.’

However, one more condition is added.

Precisely hit the opponent’s head with the first shot to bring them down.

As the Apostle of the Moonlight Marksman, it wasn’t easy to succeed.

Even if I could shoot right from the start, how easy would a headshot be?

Even with a stationary target, it would be hard to hit.

‘If I miss, that’s the end of the opportunity.’

That’s why I had to be more careful.

Even though I’d been hitting heads so far, I might fail this time.

[Duel begins!]

Right from the start, I stopped time.

2 seconds of frozen time.

During that time, I carefully aimed at my opponent and used Moonlight in Darkness to darken the surroundings.

And then.

‘Moonlight Shot.’

I used the skill along with Moonlight Bullets.

Splat!

I shattered the head in one shot.

Fortunately, it was a success.

[Condition met! You have discovered a hidden item.]

[You have obtained a Skill Enhancement Orb (A).]

[The obtained item has been stored in your inventory.]

A satisfying reward appeared.

What should I enhance with this?

‘I should use Moonlight Shot for a while.’

I invested in a skill I’d use frequently.

[Using Skill Enhancement Orb (A).]

[Moonlight in Darkness has been enhanced from A→S grade.]

[Skill name has been changed to Sinister Moonlight in Darkness.]

▷Sinister Moonlight in Darkness (S)

―Effect: Temporarily plunges a 100km radius into darkness. Artificial darkness does not affect the caster’s vision. Projectile speed is amplified by 100% when using Moonlight Shot.

The projectile speed became much faster.

At a level that’s absolutely impossible to dodge.

‘Now that I’ve enhanced it, let’s keep going. Up to the 139th floor.’

If I’m in good condition, I might be able to progress even further.

After the meeting with Jason.

The supporter party picked up the pace of their conquest even more.

“Kiiit! Kiit!”

“Hobgoblin at 1 o’clock!”

“Three of them. Give me one, unnie!”

“Okay. Take it!”

Seo Mina first dominated one with Mind Control.

Slash!

It ambushed and slashed the throat of its own kind.

Meanwhile, Park Se Hee rushed at the remaining one and thrust her sword.

The situation was resolved in an instant.

Now they just had to kill it before the domination wore off.

Stab!

Han So Ra killed Seo Mina’s hobgoblin, ending the situation.

“An F-Grade Magic Stone dropped! Look!”

“Oh, so this is a magic stone.”

The teammates rejoiced over the item that entered their inventory.

Now no one panicked even when three appeared simultaneously.

Their coordination was perfect too.

“At this rate, we’ll reach the 20th floor today, won’t we?”

“That’s difficult because of our schedule, let’s aim for this weekend.”

After finishing their conquest like that.

The supporter party members spent their time delivering action camera footage to their agency and taking breaks.

They spent their time quite busily, meeting personally to strengthen friendships and checking ViewTube video comments.

And on the promised weekend.

[You have cleared Labyrinth Underground 19th Floor!]

[Would you like to descend to the next floor? Y/N]

[Selecting N allows you to return to Earth.]

[The choice is decided by majority vote.]

“Now it’s the 20th floor. You’ve memorized the strategy, right?”

“Of course.”

“Shall we go?”

All three unanimously pressed Y.

[You have entered Labyrinth Underground 20th Floor.]

《Type: Survival》

《Condition: Within 1 hour time limit》

《Mission: Survive from monsters.》

[You cannot exit until the mission is conquered.]

They were moved to a vast rocky terrain with many rocky mountains.

“First, let’s find a place where monsters will have trouble finding us.”

“Okay!”

They had no intention of setting records like Amon.

After all, you can’t get Achievements unless you set new records.

When I have my own problems to worry about, what more could I hope for?

I just hope to survive.

“This side looks good.”

“Right. If we stay here, we can fight one-on-one no matter how many monsters come.”

The three who found a narrow space waited tensely inside.

The three found a narrow space and waited inside, tense with anxiety.

I didn’t even put away my weapon.

I remembered Amon’s advice that wherever you hide, your location gets tracked by the system, so just running around isn’t the answer.

Sure enough.

“Kieek! Kieaek!”

Goblins came looking for us, and the three who had already finished their battle preparations dealt with them skillfully.

Once we were prepared, surviving for an hour wasn’t as difficult as we thought.

[Time limit has passed and the mission has ended.]

[You have survived for 1 hour.]

[You have cleared Labyrinth Underground Floor 20!]

“We did it!”

“Great!”

“Nice!”

Now I could form a party with Jason.

Just as the three were celebrating with that thought.

[Someone has conquered Labyrinth Underground Floor 149!]

[Labyrinth Underground Floor 150 is now open.]

[10 days have been added to the Earth destruction countdown.]

[Time remaining until destruction: 1,485 days 4 hours 40 minutes 15 seconds]

It was Amon who had already broken through to the 149th floor in just one week.
