Skill Devouring Up to Floor 666 Episode 123
123. Person in Charge
“Person in charge?”
Bewilderment appeared on Soon Gu’s face.
Only one person came to mind immediately.
‘Should I call Hee Seong?’
But how could he order his boss around for something like this?
“There’s no person in charge, so please leave.”
“Please call them. I have something to say.”
“Ah, forget it, just go.”
He tried to push his shoulder, but what the hell.
He didn’t budge at all.
‘This bastard is an Apostle.’
Soon Gu once again realized the difference between an Apostle and an ordinary person.
‘If this bastard causes a scene…?’
The subordinates here wouldn’t be able to handle it.
‘If the Action Captain were here, we could somehow drive him out…’
But he was out with Wang Ho Wei at the moment.
‘I have no choice. I’ll have to call boss to drive him out.’
Soon Gu had no other options.
“Wait a moment. I’ll call them as you want.”
After finishing the Floor 169 annihilation mission, I immediately set out to conquer the next floor without rest.
As a result.
[You have cleared Labyrinth Underground Floor 179!]
I was able to complete the collection mission in a short time.
‘An enormous amount of D-Grade Magic Crystals have been collected.’
I returned home to count the exact number.
I poured them all out from my inventory.
‘There are about 120 of them.’
Then Jason approached, having heard the commotion.
“What’s that sound… Huh? When did you arrive? I didn’t hear the door opening.”
“I came in through a portal.”
Actually, I came in using the Transcendent’s Clockwork Watch function, but I can’t tell him that.
“Whoa! What are all these magic stones? They look a bit different in size…”
“They’re D-Grade Magic Crystals. You can get them from Floor 160 onwards.”
“Wow, D-Grade… This is playing in a completely different league. I can’t even get E-Grade ones yet…”
“Jason will be able to do it someday too.”
“Someday… that’s sad.”
For Jason, who was still stuck in the 30th Floor Range, it felt like something from the distant future.
“By the way Jason, how was doing trap missions with the Supporters?”
“Ah, it was definitely comfortable and good. When we shared patterns we remembered and exchanged opinions, the probability of getting the right answer increased. We hardly fell into any traps.”
“That’s great.”
“However, I’m not sure if the ViewTube views will be good. Since there’s no combat…”
“When I checked before, every video was hitting a million views.”
“What? Really?”
“Wait a moment. I’ll show you.”
I took the opportunity to find and show him the Seo Mi Gong channel.
“Th-this is the Floor 30 video, right?”
“Yes.”
“But the view count is this high?”
The Floor 30 strategy video had already surpassed a million views despite being uploaded only a day ago.
The previous videos were the same.
Once uploaded, they easily hit a million views.
“Th-the subscriber count has exceeded 1.5 million too?”
“Yes. The comment reactions are good too. Look at this.”
I showed him the comments on the somewhat potentially boring trap mission video, translated into English.
└Ah lol the Supporters’ chemistry is insane lolol
└I mainly come to watch the Supporters’ conversations
└What can’t Park Se Hee do? She’s pretty and speaks English well
└Se Hee and Jason’s chemistry has been good lately lol
└The party’s stability seems to have improved since Jason, the only male, joined
└Ah… Jason’s eye smile is hitting me hard…
└Jason! Jason!
“It seems like Jason joining was a stroke of genius.”
“Is, is that so?”
Jason seemed awkward, as if seeing the comment reactions for the first time.
“Have you eaten?”
“No, not yet.”
“Let’s grab something to eat.”
After buying and eating a simple lunch outside, I returned home and collapsed.
It seems fatigue had accumulated without me realizing it from conquering dozens of floors without sleep.
‘Did Jason go out?’
I closed my eyes and checked with Parasite – he was conquering the Labyrinth with the Supporters.
‘He’s enthusiastic about conquering.’
Well, would Jason want to just train every day?
He’d want to enter the Labyrinth and prove his training results against monsters.
‘Besides, unlike him, Joshua is on the 60th floors.’
He wouldn’t want to climb slower than his friend.
Having Supporters probably makes him work even harder.
‘While I’m at it, should I go meet Joshua?’
I closed my eyes and checked his location with Parasite.
Joshua was outside, not in the Labyrinth.
I called him to arrange a meeting, then moved there instantly with Instant Teleportation.
“Huh? Tae Seong, when did you arrive?”
“Just now.”
“Ah… you came through a portal. I feel it every time, but that skill is cheating.”
“It’s not much help in conquering the Labyrinth though.”
After exchanging simple greetings.
“Here.”
I handed over the E-Grade Magic Stones I had collected so far.
“Oh, E-Grade. I’ll calculate this right away.”
“There’s more to calculate.”
“Huh? More?”
First, I took out just one from my Inventory to show him.
Surprise appeared in Joshua’s eyes as he read the information.
“This is… a D-Grade Magic Crystal?”
“Yes. It’s an item you can get starting from the 160th Floor.”
“Both the size and color look much better quality?”
“They would be.”
“I’ll test the details and let you know the results. The price too.”
“Understood.”
“But how many more of these do you have?”
“119 more.”
“What?”
Joshua’s eyes widened in shock.
He moved his body as if this wasn’t the time for this.
“I’ll, I’ll take them right away and test them.”
“Yes, contact me when the results are ready.”
“Understood.”
After Joshua left, I returned home.
There was something else I needed to do in the quiet house.
‘I should open the orbs I’ve collected.’
While conquering dozens of floors, I gained a lot of stats and credits, but the biggest gain was Random Orb Fragments.
Looking at the fragments and pieces I collected, it seems I can make three Random Orbs.
‘This is the first time opening three at once…’
Should I put them together one by one and see what comes out?
[4 Random Orb Fragments are combining.]
[What type of orb will appear is random.]
The combined fragments with light created a message after a moment.
[Creating an orb randomly.]
[Item ‘Helmet Selection Orb (A)’ has appeared. Congratulations!]
An A-Grade helmet…
Lucky.
‘I needed a hat anyway. This worked out well.’
I can’t keep wearing just an F-Grade Hat forever, can I?
[Using Helmet Selection Orb (A).]
[Choose one of the following helmets.]
└ 1. Steel Knight’s Helmet
└ 2. Shadow Assassin’s Hood
└ 3. Fire Mage’s Hat
…
…
…
‘Among these, what I need would be…’
Number 4, the Sky Knight’s Wing Helmet would be the best choice.
[Sky Knight’s Wing Helmet (A)]
―Category: Helmet
―Durability: 1,800/1,800
―Effect: Levitation, Movement Speed +15%, Vision Enhancement, Fall Damage Immunity, Endurance +30, Agility +30
―Usage Restriction: Apostles who have cleared Floor 100 or higher
―Description: A helmet worn by a legendary knight who soared through the skies. The small wings on both sides allow the wearer to float in the air, and they won’t be injured even when falling from great heights.
I got a useful helmet.
Should I try combining one more orb?
[Creating an orb randomly.]
[Item ‘Strong Penetration Elixir (A)’ has appeared. Congratulations!]
[Strong Penetration Elixir (A)]
―Category: Consumable
―Effect: Permanently increases Penetration +60
―Usage Restriction: Apostles who have cleared Floor 100 or higher
―Description: An elixir that permanently enhances the body. Can only be used by Apostles who have cleared Floor 100 or higher of the Labyrinth.
This time it’s an elixir.
I used it right away while I was at it.
[You have used the Strong Penetration Elixir.]
[Penetration increases by 60.]
Unfortunately, I didn’t get the effect of the Resource Conservation Achievement.
‘Well, it wouldn’t make sense if the 10% chance triggered again.’
Now I can make one more orb.
I combined them hoping for a Skill Enhancement Orb to appear.
Then.
[Item ‘Skill Enhancement Orb (S)’ has appeared. Congratulations!]
Surprisingly, the orb I wanted appeared.
And it’s S-rank too.
‘My luck is insane today.’
What should I enhance?
Parasite is SS-rank so I can’t enhance it…
Among S-rank skills, which one will I keep using going forward?
‘It would be good to upgrade King’s Army.’
Since I know how convenient summoning skills are, I think I’ll keep using it.
[Using Skill Enhancement Orb (S).]
[King’s Army has been enhanced from S→SS rank.]
Even looking at the skill description, I can’t tell what changed.
‘The summons probably got stronger, or their numbers increased.’
I don’t have an immediate use for it, so checking seemed unnecessary.
‘I’ve cleared everything I needed to clear, now let me get some rest…’
…was my thought, but my mobile phone vibrates and interrupts me.
‘Did the test results come out already?’
I thought it was contact from Joshua, but looking now, it’s Kang Hee Seong’s phone.
If it’s contact coming to this phone, it can only be from Heeseong Faction members.
―Hee Seong? Sorry, but you need to come to the office right now.
“What’s going on?”
―Well, there’s an Apostle looking for you.
“Why? Someone wanting to join?”
―That’s not it… They say they’re someone who had promised to meet Amon before and want to meet Amon…
What are they talking about?
Who came looking for me?
“Got it. I’ll hang up for now.”
I should go check it out right away.
It’ll be quick if I fly there anyway.
[You have entered Labyrinth Underground 40th Floor.]
《Type: Rescue》
《Condition: Within 1 hour time limit》
《Mission: Save the Cat People.》
[You cannot exit until the mission is cleared.]
Weihao and Wang Ho Wei.
As soon as the two arrived on the 40th floor, they bared their teeth at each other.
“Hey. From now on, whoever rescues the Cat People fastest wins. Okay?”
“So we’re acting separately then. Fine by me.”
Though they entered as a party, neither had any intention of cooperating.
They only saw each other as competition.
“Then, let’s start!”
Watching Weihao sprint away quickly, Wang Ho Wei also chose his direction.
To break Weihao’s spirit, finding the Cat People faster than anyone else was the priority.
The two who had separated like this ended up meeting again at the Dark Orc village where the Cat People were being held captive.
“You bastard, you followed me, didn’t you?”
“What are you talking about. Aren’t you the one who followed me?”
“Damn it, whoever rescues them first wins, that’s all.”
With those words, Weihao shot forward.
The Dark Orcs spotted him and raised their weapons, but.
“All of you get lost.”
Thud! Thud!
They all had their heads slammed into the ground, subdued by an invisible force.
Flap!
Weihao quickly checked the barracks.
His expression instantly twisted.
Because Wang Ho Wei was already taking the Cat People out of the iron cage.
“Thanks for drawing their aggro.”
“What?”
“I won in the end, didn’t I?”
At Wang Ho Wei’s smug snickering, Weihao trembled with rage.
“You sneaky little… Hey! Let’s do it again!”
“Again?”
“Of course! Press accept for the next floor!”
“Fine. Let’s try again. Though nothing will change.”
As they competed with each other, the two were conquering the labyrinth faster than ever before.
Entering the Amon Guild in Kang Hee Seong’s appearance, I could see him.
A man with familiar features sitting on the sofa.
‘That guy is… the King’s Successor’s apostle, isn’t he?’
It was that apostle who had asked to meet a month ago, only for me to copy his skill and then reject him.
‘Thanks to his skill, I was able to obtain the King’s Army skill.’
I should have at least bought him a meal to thank him, but I didn’t.
If I had met with him, it would have become troublesome with photo requests, autographs, and various other things.
‘But he came looking for me after a month?’
I approached Kim Ju-wan while pretending this was our first meeting.
“You were looking for me?”
“Are you the person in charge here?”
“I am.”
“Where is Amon?”
“Why?”
“I have something to discuss with him in person.”
“What about? Tell me and I’ll pass it along.”
Kim Ju-wan shook his head with a firm expression.
“No. I need to tell him directly. It’s something other people can’t hear about…”
At this point, I was getting curious about what he wanted to talk about.
“Wait a moment. I’ll try contacting Amon.”
