Skill Devouring Up to Floor 666 Episode 135

 

135. Intervention

 

Just in case, I was watching through Parasite.

 

I was worried about whether they’d perform the raid mission well.

 

‘I think Jason would do well though…’

 

But still, the composition is what it is, isn’t it?

 

Even though we added one capable dealer named Jason, there’s still only one dealer.

 

Wouldn’t they be short-handed?

 

But perhaps my worries were unfounded.

 

The Supporters were smoothly conquering from the 70th Floor and steadily climbing up.

 

‘That’s a relief. I guess I don’t need to worry.’

 

I thought they’d quit since they looked physically exhausted.

 

But what do you know.

 

They actually entered the 75th Floor?

 

‘I was planning to watch just a little, but I guess that won’t work. Let me just watch until they clear the 75th Floor.’

 

The Orc Hero is not an easy boss.

 

I think you’d need at least three dealers to take it down safely.

 

If they draw its attention and continue fighting from three directions.

 

‘But it won’t be easy.’

 

Watching Jason’s battle, the situation doesn’t look too good.

 

Jason seems quite overwhelmed.

 

His breathing is getting rougher, which I can clearly feel through the Parasite’s parasitic organism.

 

Still, he was continuing the desperate battle by attacking the same spot repeatedly.

 

‘Oh no…’

 

The tide turned when he allowed one attack to get through.

 

‘The invincibility buff has activated.’

 

In battle, having invincibility or not makes a huge difference.

 

You can tell just by how he can’t launch the same aggressive offense as before.

 

‘Jason is being pushed back.’

 

But the real problem is that the Orc Hero’s aggro has been drawn to Park Se Hee.

 

She tried to help but ended up bringing trouble upon herself instead.

 

‘This won’t do. I need to step in.’

 

I prepared the skill [Wind, Move].

 

It’s a skill that instantly teleports you to a target you visualize in your mind, and when I enhanced it to S-rank last time, it gained an additional function.

 

Specifically, the function of casting a 30-second protective barrier on the target.

 

‘Normally, entering the Labyrinth would be impossible. Since it involves crossing dimensions.’

 

But becoming a demigod made the impossible possible.

 

I could tell that instinctively without even testing it.

 

‘Now’s the time.’

 

In the moment of crisis, I used the skill on Park Se Hee.

 

Park Se Hee, who had the protective barrier cast on her remotely, looked bewildered.

 

The Orc Hero also desperately swung its axe to break the suddenly appeared barrier.

 

But everything just bounced off with an unknown repulsive force.

 

‘Go ahead and pound on it all you want. As if that would break.’

 

The strength of the protective barrier is proportional to the caster’s mana.

 

With my current mana exceeding 2,000, it’s enough to last several hours.

 

‘Not being able to move immediately is a drawback though…’

 

For the 30-second casting time, I could definitely protect Park Se Hee.

 

[Skill preparation complete.]

 

[Instantly teleporting to target.]

 

I, who had been at home, entered the Labyrinth in an instant.

 

And into a Labyrinth that another Apostle was in the middle of conquering.

 

“Tae… no, Lord Amon?”

 

“Amon, you said?”

 

Jason and the Supporters looked surprised.

 

I would have liked to exchange greetings, but that wasn’t what was important right now.

 

“Kruk? Kwaaaaah!”

 

The Orc Hero, enraged at seeing a suddenly added human, raised its axe.

 

“Dan, dangerous!”

 

Whoooosh!

 

The axe came down as if it would split me in half at any moment.

 

Clank!

 

It posed no threat to me whatsoever.

 

Just light enough for me to catch easily with my hand like this.

 

“He, he caught it with his bare hands?”

 

“H-how?”

 

It might look amazing to others, but knowing the truth, it’s nothing to be surprised about.

 

My durability stat alone exceeds 2,000, so how could such a blunt axe cut me?

 

I lightly twisted the arm holding the axe.

 

Then.

 

Crack crack crack!

 

“Gah, gaaaaaaah!”

 

The Orc Hero’s arm twisted like a pretzel as he howled.

 

He even pathetically fell to his knees.

 

‘Must hurt a lot. If he was in Berserker mode, he wouldn’t have let out a single groan.’

 

While I was at it, the other arm too.

 

Crack crack crack!

 

“Gaaaah! Gaaaaaaah!”

 

Ankles, shins, knees.

 

I used Telekinesis to break the bones one by one.

 

Then.

 

Thud!

 

The massive body over 3 meters tall lost its balance and collapsed.

 

For the Orc Hero, it was nothing short of a disaster.

 

With his limbs broken, he could only lie on the ground breathing.

 

“Jason.”

 

“Y… yes?”

 

“Finish it. If I kill it, there’s a chance it might not count.”

 

“Ah! Th-thank you.”

 

Jason rushed over and stabbed the fallen Orc Hero’s neck with his spear.

 

Stab stab!

 

It didn’t die in one hit, so he stabbed several times.

 

With just that simple action, the boss that had driven the party members into terror breathed its last.

 

“Did the kill message appear?”

 

“Huh?”

 

“I’m asking if the clear reward appeared.”

 

“Ah… y-yes, it did.”

 

Jason answered in a daze, still unable to collect himself.

 

“Lord Amon… you are Lord Amon, right?”

 

“Yes. That’s correct.”

 

“Could this be a dream? Or an illusion? What is this?”

 

“It’s neither a dream nor an illusion.”

 

“Then how is Lord Amon here…?”

 

It was understandable to be surprised.

 

Another Apostle intervening during a Labyrinth raid?

 

He probably never thought that was possible.

 

“I have a Teleportation Skill.”

 

“You mean that portal-opening skill?”

 

“No. This is a different skill.”

 

Everyone already knew that Amon had multiple skills.

 

In such a situation, how he managed to enter the Labyrinth wasn’t important.

 

What mattered was that he saved them from danger.

 

The Supporters who had been far away approached closer.

 

“H-how is another person on the 75th Floor…?”

 

“Jason. Do you know this person?”

 

“I heard him say Amon earlier.”

 

Han So Ra and Seo Mina were surprised by Park Se Hee’s words.

 

“Right? Jason.”

 

“Yes. That’s correct. This person is Lord Amon.”

 

“Amon? The Amon we know?”

 

“The person who sponsored us is that man…?”

 

They got to see Amon in person, whom they had never met face-to-face before.

 

And inside the Labyrinth at that.

 

They didn’t know how he got in, but everyone couldn’t help but be surprised.

 

Especially Seo Mina even more so.

 

“Y-you… you’re Amon’s Messenger.”

 

“I’m sorry for deceiving you. I am Amon.”

 

Since Seo Mina had seen his true appearance, the shock was even greater for her.

 

She wouldn’t have known that the person who saved her from the Loan Sharks was Amon.

 

“This is the first time meeting the others, right? Nice to meet you. I’m Amon.”

 

When he formally introduced himself, Park Se Hee and Han So Ra awkwardly returned the greeting.

 

“I’m Park Se Hee. You’re much younger than I thought you’d be.”

 

“I-I’m Han So Ra. I’m a fan of Amon. I went to that gathering when the post was made before. Turns out it was posted by an imposter though…”

 

Actually, it was a post I made, but I didn’t bother to correct her.

 

I also didn’t reveal that I was actually Kang Hee Seong.

 

‘If they found out I could change my appearance, it would only lower their trust even more.’

 

Jason knows, but that’s as far as it goes.

 

I want to keep some distance from the Supporters.

 

“We finally get to meet you. Our sponsor.”

 

“They said you have a Prophecy Skill, is that really true?”

 

“But how did you get here?”

 

“Right. How did you manage it when we’re on different floors?”

 

“You recently cleared up to the 269th Floor, so you couldn’t be in a party with us…”

 

Murmur murmur, there was a lot of chatter.

 

And many questions too.

 

“I can’t reveal the details, but I somehow managed to get in. With a Teleportation Skill.”

 

“Then, was it you who put the Protective Barrier on me, Amon?”

 

I nodded in response to Park Se Hee’s question.

 

“Yes. I was watching with my Future Sight Skill and came in because I was worried it might be dangerous.”

 

I mixed in some lies appropriately.

 

There was no need to prove it anyway.

 

“I’m glad everyone is safe.”

 

“Thank you for saving us.”

 

“Th-thank you too, Amon.”

 

“I’m grateful as well.”

 

“Amon is our lifesaver.”

 

Each of them expressed their gratitude.

 

“There’s no need to thank me. I’m satisfied as long as you all become stronger.”

 

“Amon. But there’s something I’ve been curious about…”

 

Park Se Hee stepped forward as the representative to speak.

 

“Why did you form us into a party?”

 

“Right. I was curious about that too.”

 

“There must have been other party members available, so why did you specifically arrange a party of Supporters…”

 

The reason I formed a Supporter Party?

 

Actually, it wasn’t for any grand reason.

 

‘It was because I wanted to protect Park Se Hee.’

 

A group would be better than being alone.

 

And being all women, they’d probably understand each other better.

 

‘I didn’t want to lose her like before the regression.’

 

However, saying it was because of Park Se Hee would be too complicated since I’d have to reveal the regression and other relationships.

 

What’s needed at times like this?

 

“I know from seeing the future. That you will all save many people someday.”

 

Glossing over it with the Prophecy Skill.

 

After all, no one knows the future, right?

 

Fortunately, the strategy seemed to work.

 

“Ah…”

 

“So that was the reason…”

 

All three seemed convinced.

 

Then a message must have appeared.

 

“Huh? It’s asking if we want to go to the Next Floor?”

 

“What should we do? Jason.”

 

The group all looked at Jason.

 

As if they’d leave it to their leader’s decision.

 

But Jason already had an expression of lost confidence.

 

He looked at me like a puppy, asking for my opinion.

 

“Amon… Do you think I can clear the next floor?”

 

“Well. It looks difficult as things stand now.”

 

“Right…?”

 

“Go back for now and challenge the 76th Floor later. Gather more people or something. Raid missions are better with more people.”

 

“Ah, that sounds good.”

 

Whether it’s ten people or a hundred, it doesn’t matter.

 

The more Apostles gather, the safer the clear becomes.

 

That’s what a raid mission is.

 

With more dealers, the Supporters would be able to be more active too.

 

“We’ll do as Amon says.”

 

“Then, we’ll return to Earth.”

 

“But what about you, Amon? How will you leave?”

 

“Did you get a return message too, Amon?”

 

I shook my head.

 

“No. But I can get out. If I got in, surely I can get out too, right?”

 

“Ah… now that you mention it, that’s true.”

 

“Let’s meet again on Earth next time.”

 

“Yes, see you next time.”

 

We waved goodbye in the Labyrinth and parted ways.

 

Soon they touched the air and disappeared.

 

Somehow I ended up alone on the 75th Floor of the Labyrinth.

 

‘I thought the system would send me back, but there’s nothing like that?’

 

Not a single message appeared and I just remained in the Labyrinth.

 

Without a skill, there’s no way to get out.

 

‘Well, I do have a way. I have the Clockwork Watch’s Instant Teleportation function.’

 

But since I’m curious, should I explore the Labyrinth a bit more?

 

What happens if I stay on the 75th Floor?

 

You never know, right?

 

The boss might respawn.

 

‘If that happens…’

 

I might be able to keep killing the boss and receiving rewards.
