Skill Devouring Up to Floor 666 Episode 145
145. 30 Million Credits
I came out of the Eternal Room with the corners of my mouth raised.
‘I was worried they might betray me, but fortunately they didn’t.’
Thomas and Henry had rejected the Three Gods’ proposal.
Despite the tempting sponsorship promise that anyone would be attracted to, their rejection was likely due to their fan loyalty toward Amon.
‘They said they were my fans, and they certainly have loyalty.’
It probably wasn’t just because of loyalty.
Objectively speaking, it seemed better to stick with my side anyway.
‘They must have judged that staying in the Amon Guild would be better than joining some attack squad of the Three Gods whose existence is unclear.’
It must have been shocking for the Three Gods.
They probably never expected mere humans to reject their proposal.
‘Making a job offer to people who just signed a guild contract and were introduced to new teammates, brimming with motivation to conquer floors.’
As if that would work.
The Three Gods are really stupid.
My pre-regression self was stupid too.
‘Back then, there was no one like Amon to guide me.’
I didn’t belong anywhere and was lonely.
I was cornered, so I had no choice but to accept the Three Gods’ proposal.
That’s how things ended up this way.
‘Still, we’re on the same side, so isn’t it too much not to open the Eternal Room?’
I did force my way in, but it wasn’t as easy as it sounds.
It would have been impossible without an extreme understanding of mana.
Moreover, becoming a demigod and having an absolute body played a big part.
‘Damn Three Gods. Even though we’re on the same side, they’re pulling this crap because they don’t want to give me Terra.’
Now I’m wondering if the Three Gods are really on the same side.
What’s so special about some Terra anyway.
‘Whatever the case, I need to use everything I can to the fullest. Right now, killing the God of Destruction, Amon, is the top priority.’
Let’s just think about getting stronger.
With that mindset, I entered the labyrinth again.
[You have entered Maze Underground Floor 321.]
《Type: Annihilation》
《Condition: None》
《Mission: Defeat 100 Dark Troll Warriors.》
[You cannot leave until you complete the mission.]
Even though there was no record mission, I devoted myself earnestly to troll hunting.
Like before, I flew around and blew up all their heads.
As a result, it took less than 20 minutes to clear one mission.
[As a reward for clearing Floor 321 normally, you receive ‘Slightly Ordinary Essence of Strength’.]
[192,400 credits (+44,400) have been awarded.]
[Booster applied floors: 6/10 floors]
From Floor 320 onwards, the modifier changed from ‘ordinary’ to ‘slightly ordinary’.
The stats given as rewards also increased from 18 to 27.
[You have cleared Maze Underground Floor 321 for the first time!]
[As a reward for first clearing Floor 321, you receive ‘Random Lucky Pouch (B)’.]
[Acquired items are stored in your inventory.]
‘Oh, this came out.’
Satisfied, I moved to the next floor.
[You have cleared Maze Underground Floor 322 for the first time!]
[You have cleared Maze Underground Floor 323 for the first time!]
[You have cleared Maze Underground Floor 324 for the first time!]
…
…
…
For several hours, I broke through the labyrinth without rest.
[You have entered Maze Underground Floor 330.]
《Type: Collection》
《Condition: Within 5 hours time limit》
《Mission: Collect 5 Bell Grass.》
[You cannot leave until you complete the mission.]
The mission type changed to collection.
It was much easier since I just had to gather grass scattered on the ground.
‘Finding five pieces of grass is better than killing 100 monsters.’
Killing monsters is easy.
A single gesture is enough.
However, finding them took more time.
That’s why the extermination mission took 20 minutes.
If it’s a mission to find herbs like this, I can find them much faster.
‘I have Clear Mind Like Still Water and Time Acceleration.’
After using Clear Mind Like Still Water to check where Bell Grass mainly grows.
‘Time Acceleration.’
Using Time Acceleration, I moved 3 times faster than usual and searched everywhere.
[Bell Grass Collection 1/5]
[Bell Grass Collection 2/5]
[Bell Grass Collection 3/5]
I saw monsters here and there, but ignored them and focused only on collecting.
As a result.
[Bell Grass Collection 5/5]
[You have cleared Maze Underground Floor 330 for the first time!]
[Random Skill Book (B) is awarded as the first clear reward for Floor 330.]
[Acquired items are stored in Inventory.]
[Floor 330 Clear Time: 12 minutes 4 seconds]
[Cleared in the shortest time!]
[Achievement is unlocked as a record clear reward.]
I was able to clear faster than anyone and set a record.
[Achievement ‘Weakness Detection (B)’ 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.]
▶Weakness Detection (B)
―Acquisition Path: Maze Underground Floor 330
―Effect: Can detect the target’s weaknesses.
―Time remaining until permanent acquisition: 9 days 23 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds
I received the Achievement reward and rushed to the next floor.
All the way to Floor 339 without rest.
[You have cleared Maze Underground Floor 339 for the first time!]
[Weapon Selection Ticket (B) is awarded as the first clear reward for Floor 339.]
[Acquired items are stored in Inventory.]
After clearing the mission, I returned home.
‘Did Jason go out?’
Since I didn’t see him, I closed my eyes and activated Parasite.
‘He entered the Labyrinth.’
He seemed eager to try coordinating with his new party anyway…
He must have finally taken Thomas and Henry with him.
Along with the Supporters too.
‘A six-person party… they won’t be afraid of any mission.’
With more people to carry the load, Jason’s burden will be lighter, and the Supporters’ anxiety will be reduced too.
After all, previously it was a combination that relied only on Jason.
‘They’re doing well over there too.’
When I turned my surveillance eye toward Joshua, he was also conquering the Labyrinth.
He was clearing smoothly with Weihao, Wang Ho Wei, and Hiromune.
‘Should I check the rewards I’ve obtained in the meantime?’
I took out the rewards from my Inventory.
First, the Random Lucky Pouch.
[Using Random Lucky Bag (B).]
[500,000 Credits obtained. Congratulations!]
‘Oh, 500,000?’
Since it’s B-rank, the reward is generous.
‘Now the Weapon Selection Ticket.’
[Using Weapon Selection Ticket (B).]
[Please choose one of the following weapons.]
└ 1. Iron Blood Great Sword
└ 2. Shadow Assassination Sword
└ 3. Dragon Scale Spear
I was conflicted.
Honestly, all three are weapons I don’t need.
‘I already have an S-rank weapon. I’m even planning to enhance this one.’
Then it should be a weapon I can give to a team member…
‘The core of the Supporters is Jason.’
I chose the Dragon Scale Spear.
I should give it to him as a gift later.
‘I can already picture how happy Jason will be.’
Finally, I used the random skill book.
[Using Random Skill Book (B).]
[You obtained the skill ‘Mana Wave (B)’. Congratulations!]
Not a bad skill came out.
▷Mana Wave (B)
―Effect: Explodes mana with each attack, dealing area damage to surrounding enemies.
‘Now I have an area skill.’
I didn’t have any other area skills besides Lightning Spinning Slash or Grasp of the Dead, so this worked out well.
‘That’s the end of checking rewards. Status window.’

My stats exceeded 3,000.
Terra’s influence played a part, but Soul Harvest, which gives stats every 100 kills, was also significant.
‘I’ve saved up a lot of credits too.’
I reached my target of 30 million credits.
Thanks to using credit boosters while not taking a single hit from monsters.
The Wanderlust skill that accumulates credits with each step also earned quite a bit.
‘Finally, I can buy it. That item.’
I took out the dimensional orb and called Luster.
[What is it this time, human.]
Luster showed a bored reaction, probably because I called him every time I cleared 10 floors.
When I furrowed my brow, Luster panicked.
[Y-you’re going to buy boosters as usual, right? I’ll open the shop window right away!]
“No. This time I want to buy a different item.”
[What kind…?]
“You’ll see.”
As I scrolled through the Dimensional Shop, I stopped my gesture in front of one item.
[Y-you want to buy this?]
“Yeah.”
[Do you know how much this costs… Huh?]
Only now seeing my credits, Luster’s skull jaw slowly opened.
“I’m buying it because I have money, you bastard. Would I buy it if I didn’t have money?”
[Oh, r-right. You have enough credits?]
Since I made up my mind, I bought it immediately.
[You have purchased the item ‘Talisman of Pain’.]
[30,000,000 credits have been deducted.]
I bought an item worth a whopping 30 million credits.
Of course, it was an item worth that much.
