Skill Devouring Up to Floor 666 Episode 132
132. Labyrinth Underground 240th Floor
‘Let me open the items I’ve accumulated so far.’
First, I tried using the D-rank Random Skill Book.
[Using Random Skill Book (D).]
[You have obtained the skill ‘Fervor (D)’. Congratulations!]
▷Fervor (D)
―Effect: The longer combat continues, the more red aura is generated, and all stats increase by 1% every 30 seconds. Maximum increase of 10%. Resets when combat ends.
A buff-type passive skill that increases all stats by up to 10%.
‘Not bad. But…’
The downside is that the increased stats reset when combat ends.
Therefore, it becomes more advantageous the longer you drag out the fight.
‘Conversely, it’s practically useless in short battles.’
I didn’t have high expectations since it was a D-rank skill anyway.
I shrugged it off and used the Random Lucky Pouch next.
[Using Random Lucky Pouch (D).]
[You have obtained the item ‘Slightly Weak Strength Elixir (D)’. Congratulations!]
[Slightly Weak Strength Elixir (D)]
―Category: Consumable
―Effect: Permanently +8 Strength
―Usage Restriction: Apostles who have cleared Floor 50 or higher
―Description: An elixir that permanently enhances the body. Can only be used by Apostles who have cleared Floor 50 or higher of the Labyrinth.
The rule with elixirs is to drink them as soon as you get them.
There’s no need to save them for later, so I consumed it immediately.
Then.
[You have used the Slightly Weak Strength Elixir.]
[Strength increases by 8.]
[Due to Resource Conservation’s effect, the item is not consumed.]
‘Oh! Lucky!’
The 10% chance activated.
It didn’t trigger when I tried drinking it again after that though.
‘Still, my strength went up by 16.’
Good effect.
Next, the Accessory Selection Ticket.
[Using Accessory Selection Ticket (D).]
[Choose one of the following accessories.]
└ 1. Old Leather Necklace
└ 2. Cracked Magic Stone Ring
└ 3. Iron Bracelet
My choice was number 2.
[‘Cracked Magic Stone Ring (D)’ has been granted.]
[The acquired item has been stored in your Inventory.]
[Cracked Magic Stone Ring (D)]
―Category: Accessory
―Durability: 600/600
―Effect: Mana +8
―Usage Restriction: Apostles who have cleared Floor 50 or higher
―Description: A silver ring set with a blue magic stone that was once brilliant. The crack in the magic stone prevents it from displaying its original power, but it still contains faint mana.
A ring with no special additional functions but increases stats.
‘Actually, it doesn’t matter what I choose. I have better items than this.’
Currently, I’m wearing two accessories: the Ring of Duplication and the Amulet of Pain.
Both are A-rank rings that increase mana by 12.
Since accessories only apply one per hand, having more would be useless.
‘I should give this ring to Park Se Hee.’
Since mana makes skill effects stronger, it would be a great help to have.
‘Now shall I try combining the 8 Random Orb Fragments?’
I took them all out of my Inventory and tried combining them into one.
[4 Random Orb Fragments are being combined.]
[What type of orb will appear is random.]
Light burst forth along with the message.
[Creating a random orb.]
[You have obtained the item ‘Shoe Selection Orb (A)’. Congratulations!]
My shoes were getting worn out anyway, so I could get a new pair.
[Using Shoe Selection Orb (A).]
[Choose one of the following shoes.]
└ 1. Shadow Walking Shoes
└ 2. Lightning Boots
└ 3. Earth Boots
…
…
…
This time too, my choice was number 2.
[Lightning Boots (A)]
―Classification: Shoes
―Durability: 1,800/1,800
―Effect: Agility +60, Lightning attribute skills amplified by 20%
―Usage Restriction: Apostles who have cleared the 100th Floor or higher
―Description: Black leather boots engraved with blue lightning. When worn, a faint current flows beneath your feet, making your whole body tingle, and small sparks fly to the ground with each step.
Among the lightning attribute skills I frequently use is Lightning Spinning Slash.
‘With skill damage amplified by 20%, it’s quite a good choice.’
In a way, it’s no different from using Dragon’s Fury skill before it was enhanced.
If I use the current Dragon’s Fury that amplifies by 40% on top of this?
I can take down most enemies in one hit.
‘I have one more orb opportunity left.’
When I hit the remaining four orbs, light burst forth and they disappeared.
What will come out this time?
[Creating an orb randomly.]
[1,000,000 Credits have appeared. Congratulations!]
‘Oh. Something good came out?’
Having cleared up to the 239th floor, I currently have 14 million credits.
This was the result of using the Wanderlust skill that gives credits proportional to distance traveled and the Credit Booster.
‘If I add another 1 million to this… 15 million?’
Among the things I’m aiming for, there’s an item I can buy for 30 million credits.
I’ve been saving up for that until now.
‘I’ve collected half of it.’
I sat down in front of the computer with a satisfied smile.
Now that I’ve finished checking the rewards, I need to do editing work.
[Amon’s Labyrinth Strategy Guide]
Total Subscribers: 30,847,293
Cumulative Views: 892,547,326
Total Videos: 123
It’s only been two months, but I’ve already hit 30 million subscribers.
Looking at the growth curve, it seems like I’ll hit 200 million before this year ends.
‘So I need to diligently upload videos.’
I already have over 100 saved videos.
Even uploading two per day isn’t enough.
I spent a long time on editing work and finished scheduling uploads.
‘It’s getting late and this would normally be the time to feel tired…’
Since becoming a demigod, I haven’t felt sleepy or hungry at all.
I no longer need to eat.
‘I have nothing else to do, so let me tackle the labyrinth.’
With stamina overflowing, I’m putting even more effort into conquering it.
[You have entered Labyrinth Underground 240th Floor.]
《Type: Annihilation》
《Condition: None》
《Mission: Defeat 100 Dark Water Elementals.》
[You cannot exit until you clear the mission.]
Dark Water Elementals.
They’re liquid-type monsters that are rare in the labyrinth.
They’re the creatures that appear after the Dark Slime on the 1st Floor, Dark Mud on the 26th Floor, and Dark Mud Fingers on the 29th Floor.
They were also monsters that could be easily caught with the Transformation Branch.
‘I just need to hold it against them and it sucks them up like a vacuum cleaner, making conquest easier than eating cold porridge.’
But it was too bothersome to hold the branch against them one by one.
‘Lightning attributes work well against liquid-type monsters.’
Instead of the branch, I transformed it into a sword and held it as I used Dragon’s Fury.
[Skill damage is temporarily increased by 40%.]
And I entered into the group of gathered Dark Water Elementals.
‘Lightning Spinning Slash.’
Crackle!
[Dark Water Elemental Defeated 12/100]
I swept them all away in one go.
Catching 100 of them was truly just a matter of time.
[240th Floor Clear Time: 18 minutes 51 seconds]
[You have cleared in the shortest time!]
[An Achievement will be unlocked as a record clear reward.]
Finding them actually took more time than catching them.
[Achievement ‘Mana Awakening (C)’ has been unlocked.]
[If a new record appears within 10 days, the Achievement will be returned.]
[If no new record holder appears, you will permanently acquire the Achievement effect.]
▶Mana Awakening (C)
―Acquisition Path: Labyrinth Underground 240th Floor
―Effect: You can handle mana better and all skill damage increases by 10%.
―Time remaining until permanent acquisition: 9 days 23 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds
As a demigod, I pride myself on sensing mana better than anyone.
There’s no way I could handle it better than I already do.
‘It’s a rather useless Achievement in terms of mana handling, but…’
The good thing is that skill damage increases.
‘It’s better than nothing.’
[A ‘Very Ordinary Strength Essence’ is awarded as the 240th floor general clear reward.]
[A ‘Very Ordinary Resistance Essence’ is awarded as the 240th floor first clear reward.]
The stat reward that came after was 12.
Compared to the previous 8, it had increased significantly.
The modifier also changed from ‘Slightly Weak’ to ‘Very Ordinary’.
‘And a C-Rank Magic Stone came out too.’
A C-Rank Magic Stone that dropped from defeating the Dark Water Elemental.
Joshua would probably be happy to see it.
[Would you like to go down to the Next Floor? Y/N]
‘No. I’m returning to Earth.’
After pressing N, I quickly returned to my room using Instant Teleportation and called the Three Gods.
“Three Gods. I have something to say.”
As if they had been watching, an invitation message to the Eternal Room appeared immediately.
When I entered, the Three Gods greeted me with awkward expressions.
[We were waiting, Tae Seong.]
[Already the 240th floor. That’s incredibly fast.]
[You came about skill sponsorship, right? This would be the third sponsorship.]
[What skill do you want? Tell us.]
“Before we talk about sponsorship, I have something to tell you.”
[What now?]
[Don’t tell me… it’s not that, right?]
Faces frightened that I might demand Terra again.
But don’t worry.
It’s not that.
“There are people I want to make into Apostles of the Three Gods. Please grant permission.”
[Apostles who have contracted with Transcendent Spirits cannot be made into Apostles of the Three Gods. If they’re Apostles who haven’t contracted yet, a month has already passed so contracting itself is impossible.]
Harmonion immediately expressed opposition, but I shook my head.
“What I’m talking about is a Universal Contract. Proving qualifications and contracting with all three gods.”
[Then you mean to choose from among our Apostles?]
“Yes.”
[Who exactly are you talking about?]
“Hiromune, Wang Ho Wei, Weihao. I want to contract these three with the Three Gods of All Things.”
The three have only made single contracts with one god each.
If they make a Three Gods of All Things contract, they’ll receive sponsorship from all three gods and become even stronger.
“Of course, they’ll have to go through proper qualification proof.”
[Hmm… But Regressor, didn’t you say Weihao was dangerous and shouldn’t make a Three Gods of All Things contract?]
“I did. But I’ve changed my mind now. He’s a dangerous guy, but I think I can control him.”
[Hmm…]
Even with my proposal, the Three Gods had somewhat reluctant expressions.
‘Is it because they’re my people? They don’t want to help me?’
The fact that the three are in Amon Guild and partied together is something the voyeuristic Three Gods also know.
But before being my people, aren’t they their Apostles?
“Why aren’t you answering? There shouldn’t be any reason to hesitate.”
[It’s not that there’s no reason.]
[Wait… give us some time.]
The three gathered together again, putting their heads together to exchange opinions.
Though I couldn’t hear what they were saying, they seemed to reach an agreement and returned quickly.
[Ahem… Tae Seong. We’ve discussed it and…]
“Yes.”
[We’ve concluded that we cannot accept your request.]
