Skill Devouring Up to Floor 666 Episode 147
147. Up to Floor 390.
I don’t know the reason why Joshua died either.
He had mysteriously died suddenly on the 399th Floor where there was a boss raid mission.
‘It doesn’t make sense. He even had Skill Copy but died there.’
The 399th Floor boss was a Minotaurus.
It was a powerful monster, but not to the extent that it couldn’t be defeated.
‘Even I, who had no talent, managed to pass through, so that says it all.’
So it wasn’t because of the monster.
There must have been another reason for Joshua’s death.
‘I need to properly investigate what happened this time.’
I had investigated before, but there was nothing strange.
But who knows?
Now that I’ve become a Demigod, I might see things a little differently.
‘If I go in once more, I might learn something.’
With that thought, I stepped into the Labyrinth again.
[You have entered Labyrinth Underground Floor 340.]
《Type: Survival》
《Condition: Within 1 hour time limit》
《Mission: Survive in the darkness.》
[You cannot exit until you clear the mission.]
Floor 340 was a survival mission, but it was different from before.
‘It’s about surviving from monsters, but the element of darkness is added.’
I had to avoid monsters that came looking for me in the darkness.
It was a very disadvantageous situation, but darkness was useless against me.
‘I can see where everything is with mana anyway.’
Moreover, with the Labyrinth Hunter Achievement and Death God’s Senses that tell me the location of monsters, I could detect monsters even with my eyes closed.
There was no need to run away.
“Kiiik!”
“Kihyaak!”
The monsters discovered me and approached, but.
Swoosh!
Just by raising my hand into the air, I made their movements stop.
By clenching my fist, I burst all their heads at once.
Pop pop pop!
How many monsters you kill.
Since this was a floor where rankings were determined based on that record, there was no reason to refuse the monsters that came.
[The mission has ended as the time limit has passed.]
[You have survived for 1 hour.]
[Number of monsters killed on Floor 340: 366]
[You have cleared with miraculous play!]
[An Achievement will be unlocked as a record clear reward.]
Successfully cleared while staying in place without needing to move around.
[Achievement ‘Elite Hunter (B)’ has been unlocked.]
[If a new record appears within 10 days, you will return the Achievement.]
[If no new record holder appears, you will permanently acquire the Achievement effect.]
▶Elite Hunter (B)
―Acquisition Path: Labyrinth Underground Floor 340
―Effect: Deals 25% additional damage against boss-level monsters.
―Time remaining until permanent acquisition: 9 days 23 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds
An Achievement that increases damage when facing boss-level enemies.
‘Amon is technically boss-level too…’
I’m not sure if this would actually work on Amon.
I would have had to obtain this Achievement before the regression.
‘If nothing else, it’ll definitely work on raid bosses.’
I selected Y when asked if I wanted to go to the Next Floor.
Similarly, I performed the mission of surviving for 1 hour in the darkness.
Like that, 1 hour per floor.
Over a total of 10 hours, I cleared up to Floor 349.
In the past, I would have gotten tired and sleepy by now and returned to Earth, but.
‘Even rest time is precious. I’ll clear as quickly as possible.’
Since becoming a Demigod, I didn’t get hungry or sleepy, so I continued the assault without rest.
[You have entered Labyrinth Underground Floor 350.]
《Type: Trap》
《Condition: Alone without help from others》
《Mission: Find the exit.》
[You cannot leave until the mission is completed.]
Floor 350 was a trap mission.
But unlike what I’d done before, I couldn’t see multiple doors.
‘This isn’t a mission to choose doors. This time it’s finding a maze.’
A mission to find a way out of the suffocating maze walls with a blocked ceiling.
I might have panicked not knowing which way to go, but I had an Achievement.
‘Maze Compass. The Achievement I got on Floor 110.’
An Achievement that displays path guidance like navigation when entering a maze.
I could already see a blue line on the floor.
‘I just need to follow that path.’
I’d been walking along the path for 10 minutes.
[You have cleared Labyrinth Underground Floor 350!]
I cleared it easily without even encountering monsters.
‘To think I cleared a mission that would normally take over 2 hours of wandering in just 10 minutes.’
Achievements are definitely overpowered.
[You have cleared Labyrinth Underground Floor 351!]
[You have cleared Labyrinth Underground Floor 352!]
[You have cleared Labyrinth Underground Floor 353!]
…
…
…
[You have cleared Labyrinth Underground Floor 359!]
I cleared floors 350 through 359 in 2 hours and ascended to floor 360.
[You have entered Labyrinth Underground Floor 360.]
《Type: Rescue》
《Condition: Within 3 hour time limit》
《Mission: Save the Naga Tribe.》
[You cannot leave until the mission is completed.]
From here it was a rescue mission, and like before, I just needed to save the NPC.
‘However, the Naga Tribe is a race I’ve never seen before.’
Strictly speaking, I had seen one once – a monster called Crystal Naga appeared on Floor 90.
They look similar to that creature, but they’re not fundamentally a bad race.
Like existing NPCs, if you rescue them they thank you and are quite docile.
‘The problem is that the rescue location is underwater.’
The Naga Tribe was captured in an underwater prison, so naturally I’d have to hold my breath and dive into the water to save them.
However.
‘I don’t need to hold my breath.’
Splash!
Even after diving into the lake, I didn’t feel suffocated.
I could breathe normally as usual.
Thanks to Breath of Water, which I received as an Achievement on Floor 90.
Thanks to that, I could leisurely defeat the Water Elemental, an aquatic monster.
Screech!
Originally I’d need to find a key to take them out, but I lightly bent the iron bars and rescued the Naga Tribe.
“Th-thank you for saving us.”
The mission was cleared as soon as I rescued the Naga Tribe.
The Naga Tribe also turned into bubbles and disappeared.
[Floor 360 clear time: 15 minutes 6 seconds]
[You have cleared in the shortest time!]
[An Achievement will be unlocked as a record clear reward.]
[Achievement ‘Deep Sea Adapter (B)’ has been unlocked.]
[If a new record is set within 10 days, the Achievement will be returned.]
[If no new record holder appears, you will permanently acquire the Achievement effect.]
▶Deep Sea Adapter (B)
―Acquisition Path: Labyrinth Underground Floor 360
―Effect: All abilities underwater are enhanced. Movement speed underwater increases by 50%, and deals 30% additional damage against aquatic monsters.
―Time remaining until permanent acquisition: 9 days 23 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds
After receiving an Achievement that makes me stronger underwater, the clear reward came in.
[You have cleared Labyrinth Underground Floor 360!]
[You will receive ‘Slightly Strong Dark Magic Essence’ as a Floor 360 normal clear reward.]
[218,400 Credits (+50,400) have been awarded.]
[Booster applied floors: 5/10 floors]
The stat reward modifier changed from ‘slightly ordinary’ to ‘slightly strong’.
The reward that used to increase by 27 also rose to 40.
I broke through all the way to Floor 369.
After finishing the rescue mission, I entered Floor 370, the Arena Battle.
[You have entered Labyrinth Underground Floor 370.]
《Type: Battle》
《Condition: Alone without help from others》
《Mission: Win twice in Arena Battle.》
[You cannot exit until you clear the mission.]
Two victories.
It wouldn’t be difficult.
I had the Achievement I received on Floor 290, Avatar of the Arena.
‘Half damage taken, and attack speed, movement speed, and damage all doubled.’
With this, how could I possibly lose?
Thud!
Right at the start, I burst my opponent’s head with telekinesis.
《Victory!》
《My MMR 2,650(+30) points》
[51 consecutive wins achieved!]
[Win streak bonus (+10) applied.]
[You gain 30 Battle Points.]
I easily secured victory in the 1v1 battle.
Soon the 3v3 team battle began, the Grand Arena.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Here too, I focused on bursting the head of every enemy I met and destroying towers.
Then.
《Victory!》
《My MMR 2,695(+45) points》
Floor 371 too.
Floor 372 too.
While clearing them like this.
[Arena Battle rank has risen from Superhuman→Master.]
Once my MMR exceeded 2,800 points, my rank increased.
‘There was a Master rank. I had no idea.’
Even before the regression, no one had surpassed the Superhuman rank.
So I didn’t know what the higher ranks were…
‘So this rank existed.’
After regressing, I’m having many new experiences.
The Achievements are all things I couldn’t enjoy before the regression.
Same with becoming a demigod.
Anyway, I cleared Arena Battles all the way to Floor 379.
[Congratulations on achieving 60 consecutive wins!]
[You gain an additional 60 Battle Points as a bonus.]
[Congratulations on achieving 70 consecutive wins!]
[You gain an additional 70 Battle Points as a bonus.]
I was able to finish with the incredible record of 70 consecutive wins.
【Arena Battle】
◎Rank: Master
◎Universe Ranking: 7,146,293rd
◎Earth Ranking: 1st
◎MMR: 3,370 points
◎Arena Record: 50 wins 0 draws 0 losses
◎Grand Arena Record: 20 wins 0 draws 0 losses
◎BP Held: 1,050
‘My universe ranking has risen a lot.’
It was 50 million, but now it’s around 7 million.
Rather than being happy, I’m just amazed that there are still 7 million people above me.
‘What exactly are these guys participating in Arena Battle?’
Whether they’re Labyrinth challengers like me or something else, there’s no way to know.
Their appearances are all different too.
‘I’ve accumulated a lot of BP, so should I use them?’
Naturally, what I would purchase is Skill Enhancement.
[The effect of skill ‘Grip of the Dead (SSS)’ is enhanced by 10%.]
[200 BP deducted.]
I spent 1,000 BP to make Grip of the Dead +10.
[Skill ‘Grip of the Dead (SSS)’ has reached maximum Enhancement.]
[This skill can no longer be enhanced.]
Since it was +10 Enhancement, the skill’s effect had doubled compared to before.
[Would you like to descend to the Next Floor? Y/N]
[If you select N, you can return to Earth.]
If I went back now, I could sleep satisfyingly, but I decided to keep running.
[You have entered Labyrinth Underground Floor 380.]
[You have entered Labyrinth Underground Floor 381.]
[You have entered Labyrinth Underground Floor 382.]
…
…
…
[You have entered Labyrinth Underground Floor 389.]
Floors 380-389 were solving missions.
I carried out various tasks assigned in Quest format.
As a result.
[You have entered Labyrinth Underground Floor 390.]
I was able to reach the 390th Floor, which was a raid mission.
‘Now I need to find out. What happened on the 399th Floor.’
