Skill Devouring Up to Floor 666 Episode 143
143. The Demon of Parasite
Before the regression, Joshua had said.
―Tae Seong, I think I found a way.
―Huh? What do you mean all of a sudden…?
―You know my EX-rank skill? Skill Copy. I figured out how to maintain it indefinitely.
―What? You said it gets canceled when the distance increases.
―That’s why I’m saying I found a way to overcome that!
―What is it?
―Well, I went to the 310th Floor earlier, and when I tried copying the boss’s skill there…
The story was that he met a demon boss called Symbion on the 310th Floor and copied a skill called Parasite.
‘He said that when he planted a parasite on the guy, Skill Copy didn’t get canceled even when the distance increased.’
Joshua had been excitedly explaining, but.
―If only I could somehow permanently obtain that Parasite skill, I could solve Skill Copy’s weakness… Sigh.
Knowing there was no other way to obtain the skill, he could only feel regretful.
‘Joshua. Your thinking was right. The idea that Parasite could eliminate Skill Copy’s penalty.’
I was grateful to Joshua once again.
Thanks to him explaining it so clearly, I was able to make full use of Skill Copy.
‘In a way, I should be grateful to that demon too.’
Symbion, the boss of the 310th Floor.
True to being called a demon noble, he wore elegant clothes and gracefully descended from the sky.
“You insignificant vermin. How dare you set foot in this place.”
A talking boss…
I remember being flustered when I first came here.
I didn’t know bosses could talk.
And a demon noble at that.
‘He may look like that, but he’s not threatening. His mental attacks and quick movements are troublesome, but his physical strength isn’t that strong.’
I had also conquered him on the 310th Floor.
When his health drops to a certain level, he casts invincibility and runs away, but his movements are so fast that it took some effort to catch him.
Now I could finish him in one combo though.
“You must pay for the sin of invading my space with your filthy feet…”
“Shut up.”
I took out an instant death weapon from my Inventory.
“Just die already.”
[Using Scales of Judgment.]
[Placing the target’s karma on the scales.]
Scales of Judgment doesn’t only apply to humans.
It applies to Labyrinth monsters as well.
Thud thud thud thud thud thud thud―
Red orbs pile up frighteningly on the scales.
There isn’t a single blue orb.
[The scales have completely tilted toward the orbs of evil deeds.]
[Judgment will be passed according to the weight of sins.]
《Judgment: Death Sentence with Maximum Suffering》
Even though the result came out, the demon noble had no idea what was about to happen.
“What are you doing now? You insignificant creature doing strange things… Guh, guaaaah!”
Symbion suddenly screamed.
He had no chance to escape.
He simply burned white from his toes to his head and disappeared as ash.
[You have cleared Labyrinth Underground Floor 310!]
[‘Ordinary Dark Magic Essence’ is awarded as the 310th Floor general clear reward.]
[‘Ordinary Essence of Magic’ is awarded as the 310th Floor first clear reward.]
I received stats as rewards.
[310th Floor clear time: 5 seconds]
[Cleared in the shortest time!]
[Achievement ‘Mental Barrier (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.]
I even got the Achievement I absolutely needed.
▶Mental Barrier (C)
―Acquisition path: Labyrinth Underground Floor 310
―Effect: Completely nullifies mental attacks up to 3 times per day. Usage count resets daily at midnight.
―Time remaining until permanent acquisition: 9 days 23 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds
An Achievement that blocks mental attacks up to three times a day.
It completely nullifies them, making it quite useful.
‘Especially when facing Amon on the 666th Floor, this is an Achievement you must have.’
Since Amon was skilled not only in brute force but also in mental attacks, complete nullification was essential.
Satisfied, he headed to the next floor.
With a light feeling, as if going out for a stroll.
Park Se Hee felt at ease these days.
[Someone has conquered Labyrinth Underground 319th Floor!]
[Labyrinth Underground 320th Floor is now open.]
[10 days have been added to Earth’s destruction countdown.]
[Time remaining until destruction: 3,152 days 5 hours 40 minutes 15 seconds]
Because the destruction countdown had already exceeded 3,000 days.
‘We’ve gained almost 10 years of time.’
When the Labyrinth incident first occurred, she had been anxious about whether the world would end like this, but now she doesn’t worry about such things.
Looking around, there’s no one claiming they need to pack up and leave because of the destruction.
‘Everyone feels secure because Amon is here. He keeps extending the destruction deadline for us.’
When conquest messages ring out like just now.
Is it Amon again? Did he clear another floor?
Along with such thoughts comes gratitude and a sense of security.
‘On the other hand, I’m worried. I hope Amon isn’t pushing himself too hard.’
Since he was the person who saved her, she couldn’t help but worry.
Moreover, wasn’t he the master of the Amon Guild she belonged to?
An Amon Guild without Amon would be as impossible as red bean bread without red beans.
‘I hope he takes care of his body and takes it easy…’
Just then, the sound of her mobile phone vibrating.
The screen displayed the three characters ‘Kang Hee Seong’.
Amon’s messenger.
“Ah! Hello? Messenger?”
―Where are you right now?
“I’m out for a bit.”
―I have something to tell you, so come to the cafe.
“J-just me?”
―No, all the Supporters.
Why was he suddenly asking them to come out?
“Did Amon give some kind of instruction?”
―I’m going to explain about future conquests. There are also people I want to introduce.
“Ah… I understand. I’ll bring So Ra and Mina too.”
She immediately contacted the two of them in turn.
And so the cafe meeting was arranged.
“Se Hee! Over here!”
Seo Mina, who had already secured a seat, waved her hand.
“Where’s So Ra?”
“She hasn’t come yet. You’ll have your usual, right?”
“Yeah. Please.”
Soon after, Han So Ra also joined them, wearing a hat and sunglasses.
“So Ra, you look too much like a celebrity.”
“You guys should cover up too, you know? Don’t you know our ViewTube subscribers exceeded 3 million?”
“It’s already that much?”
“Don’t pretend you don’t know. I know you check how much it’s increased every single day.”
“Hehe, you caught me.”
They were chatting about trivial things while waiting for Kang Hee Seong.
Ding―
The cafe door opened and someone entered.
It was Kang Hee Seong.
“Oh? He’s here…”
But.
“Who’s behind him?”
Three men were following behind Kang Hee Seong.
One was Jason.
The core dealer of the Supporters.
But she didn’t know who the two men standing beside him were.
Both were foreigners with sturdy builds and handsome appearances.
“Everyone’s here.”
“Messenger, who are those people beside you…?”
“Say hello. These are the dealers who will be partying with you from now on.”
“Whaaaat?”
The Supporters couldn’t hide their surprise at the addition of dealers.
Because I hadn’t heard anything about it beforehand.
After finishing the conquest of the 319th Floor.
I contacted Thomas, the German man, and Henry, the English man.
Asking if they could come to Korea right now.
―Of course! I should rush over immediately!
―Where should I go? Should I board a plane first?
Both showed the same reaction, saying they’d come running at full speed.
However.
“You don’t need to take a plane. I’ll come pick you up.”
―What? You’re coming to pick us up…?
“Go to Munich, Germany first, Henry. Let’s meet there.”
Since Germany is 2 hours away from England, I had Henry meet up with Thomas.
Zzzzzt!
I used my Spatial Movement skill to bring both of them to Korea at once.
“Wow, we’re really in Korea?”
“H-how is this kind of skill possible…?”
I explained to the amazed pair who they’d be meeting shortly.
“You absolutely must not reveal that I am Amon.”
“Ah, understood.”
“Lord Amon, no, Messenger, I’ll follow your words.”
I instructed them to hide the fact that Kang Hee Seong was Amon in front of the Supporters.
“Tae Seong, is something wrong? What was that sound from your room…?”
Jason, who opened the door, froze when he saw me with Thomas and Henry.
“Perfect timing. Jason, say hello. These are the team members we’ll be partying with from now on.”
“What?”
Jason was surprised since I hadn’t given him any heads up.
The Supporters we met at the cafe were equally surprised.
“Wait, Messenger. W-when did you find dealers?”
“Lord Amon found them urgently for all of you. As I mentioned before, we thought we’d need dealers.”
“Ah… I didn’t know they’d be foreigners.”
“As expected, Lord Amon’s connections are global.”
“If they’re people Lord Amon chose, they must be trustworthy.”
The Supporters showed unconditional faith upon hearing that Amon had found them.
Since I’d already proven their worth through Jason, they probably thought these would be the best team members too.
“I’m Henry Pemberton from England. Please take care of me.”
“Hello, I’m Thomas Schmidt. It’s an honor to work with the famous Supporters.”
Now familiar with it, they translated using the translation app.
“Nice to meet you. I’m Park Se Hee.”
“I’m Seo Mina. Nice to meet you, hehe.”
“I’m Han So Ra.”
They each introduced themselves, breaking the ice.
“Two dealers joining us! This is so great!”
“Now Jason won’t have to struggle alone.”
“Hey, unnie. Even if three people share carrying a log, it’s still heavy.”
Thomas and Henry, who had been flustered by the lively conversation, gradually adapted.
They slowly integrated into the team, discussing each other’s skills, sponsoring spirits, specialties, and conquest strategies.
‘This creates a perfect team.’
One tank, two dealers, three supporters.
It was an ideal combination, nothing more, nothing less.
‘No need to worry about boss raids anymore.’
Now I could worry less and go conquer the 320th Floor.
Then I’d be able to receive my fourth sponsorship.
‘Should I try to squeeze Terra again this time?’
