Skill Devouring Up to Floor 666 Episode 155
155. Labyrinth Underground Floor 440
‘Should I start by combining the fragments?’
I first combined the 96 Random Orb Fragments I had collected so far.
When I combined 8 fragments, they converted into 1 piece.
That way, I completed a total of 12 Random Orb Fragments.
Combined with the existing 28, that made 40 pieces.
‘That’s enough to make 10 Random Orbs.’
I immediately started combining them.
[4 Random Orb Fragments are being combined.]
[What type of orb will appear is random.]
[Creating a random orb.]
[Item ‘Skill Enhancement Orb (A)’ has appeared. Congratulations!]
‘Oh, nice. A-rank.’
Good start, let me combine the next fragments right away.
Continuing on.
[Creating a random orb.]
[Item ‘Skill Enhancement Orb (S)’ has appeared. Congratulations!]
[Creating a random orb.]
[Item ‘Shoe Selection Orb (S)’ has appeared. Congratulations!]
[Creating a random orb.]
[Item ‘Strong Agility Elixir (A)’ has appeared. Congratulations!]
[Creating a random orb.]
[1,200,000 Credits have appeared. Congratulations!]
[Creating a random orb.]
[Item ‘Skill Selection Orb (A)’ has appeared. Congratulations!]
The result of opening 10 in succession.
‘3 S-rank Skill Enhancement, 2 A-rank Skill Enhancement, 2 A-rank Elixirs, S-rank Shoe Selection Ticket, A-rank Skill Selection Orb, and even Credit rewards.’
They came out in truly diverse varieties.
‘Lucky me. They’re all A-rank or higher.’
If I had bad luck, F-rank items could have appeared.
But heaven is helping me.
‘Let me open the A-Grade Random Lucky Pouch too.’
I have two Lucky Pouches.
They gave me an A-rank Elixir and 800,000 Credits respectively.
“Not bad results.”
First, I consumed the two A-rank Elixirs I had.
[You have used Strong Agility Elixir.]
[Agility increases by 60.]
[Due to Resource Conservation effect, the item is not consumed.]
The 10% chance triggered and the elixir wasn’t consumed.
My luck is really good.
It didn’t trigger after that though.
‘Still, I raised my stats by 180 with elixirs.’
Next, I used the S-rank Shoe Selection Ticket.
[Using Shoe Selection Ticket (S).]
[Please choose one of the following shoes.]
└ 1. Swift Wing Boots
└ 2. Dimensional Walking Boots
└ 3. Immortal Combat Boots
Perfect timing, I didn’t have proper shoes anyway.
‘My choice is number 2.’
I checked the Item Information.
[Dimensional Walking Boots (S)]
―Classification: Shoes
―Durability: 2,200/2,200
―Effect: Agility +200, enables walking on air and dimensional walking
―Usage Restriction: Apostles who have conquered Floor 200 or higher
―Description: Silver boots engraved with spacetime rifts. When worn, minute spatial distortions occur around the feet, and small dimensional cracks appear and disappear with each step. Legendary shoes that enable interdimensional travel.
The stats weren’t bad and the effects were good shoes too.
‘With these, I can walk through the sky.’
Additionally, it says dimensional walking is possible, but this was a useless option that I’d rarely have occasion to use.
However.
‘I might need it. I might be summoned to another dimension.’
I had already fallen out of favor with the Administrator, a being who could freely tear through dimensions.
Perhaps there might come a time when I’d need to use Dimensional Walking.
[Using Skill Selection Orb (A).]
[Please choose one of the following skills.]
└ 1. Essence Absorption
└ 2. Solidification
└ 3. Mana Shield
…
…
…
For the A-Rank Skill, I chose number 3, Mana Shield.
‘It’s a simple skill that creates a mana barrier around the body to absorb damage, but….’
With the synergy effect of White Magic Power, the barrier’s effectiveness would boast tremendous strength.
I probably wouldn’t take damage from most attacks.
‘Now that I know about the Administrator’s existence, I should prepare some Protection Skills like this.’
While I had no worthy opponents until now, it was time to pay attention to defense as well.
‘Should I try some Skill Enhancement now?’
For enhancement, I had enough for three S-Rank and two A-Rank upgrades.
Among the S-Rank Skills I currently needed, there was Blood Supply.
‘Let me start with this.’
[Using Skill Enhancement Orb (S).]
[Blood Supply has been enhanced from S→SS rank.]
▷Blood Supply (SS)
―Effect: When draining blood from a target with Bite, recovers health and temporarily increases all stats by 25%. Duration is 3 minutes.
The stat increase went from 10% to 25%.
‘And I should enhance Money Bundle Swing too. It’s the best skill for single attacks.’
I also enhanced Dragon’s Fury.
[Using Skill Enhancement Orb (S).]
[Dragon’s Fury has been enhanced from S→SS rank.]
▷Dragon’s Fury (SS)
―Effect: Temporarily increases skill damage by 100%.
The skill damage that was 40% changed to increase up to 100%.
Using this would make Money Bundle Swing twice as strong.
‘With the remaining A-Rank enhancements….’
[Using Skill Enhancement Orb (A).]
[Power of Immortality has been enhanced from A→S rank.]
[Using Skill Enhancement Orb (A).]
[Blood Shield has been enhanced from A→S rank.]
I enhanced two Invincibility Skills.
‘The invincibility duration for Power of Immortality and Blood Shield has increased.’
I hadn’t needed to use them yet, but it was an investment for emergencies.
The more Invincibility Skills, the better.
[Using Random Skill Book (A).]
[You obtained the skill ‘Darkness Synchronization (A)’. Congratulations!]
▷Darkness Synchronization (A)
―Effect: Synchronizes with darkness, allowing vision in any darkness, 100% increased movement speed in darkness, and 30% increased power of darkness-type skills.
I obtained a skill from the Random Skill Book, and also used the A-Rank Glove Selection Ticket and A-Rank Armor Selection Ticket.
After organizing all the rewards, I had Magic Stones and various materials left.
‘I should give the food ingredients to the Winterstone Family, and the Magic Stones to Joshua.’
Of course, I had no intention of giving them for free.
I needed to keep collecting pounds and dollars.
That way, the damage of Money Bundle Swing would increase.
Somewhere in the Dimensional Rift.
Administrator Hasaksios was trembling with rage.
‘He became a demigod. How did this happen?’
Demigod Lee Tae Seong.
When I met him, I acted nonchalant, but honestly, I was shocked.
I never expected a human to become a demigod.
‘Did he sprout the core himself? How?’
All humans have a core latent within them to become demigods, but they cannot make it sprout.
It’s completely impossible, without even a 0.0000000001% chance.
‘No matter how it was possible, I need to kill him immediately. I can’t let him continue conquering the Labyrinth.’
With a demigod’s body, he would be able to conquer the Labyrinth more easily than anyone.
Especially as he climbed higher floors, the rewards would grow even greater, so Lee Tae Seong becoming stronger was only a matter of time.
As was the complete conquest of the Labyrinth.
‘I must prevent that. I can’t let him fight Amon.’
Though called the Labyrinth Administrator, paradoxically, his mission was to interfere and prevent the conquest of the Labyrinth.
Especially the Labyrinth created by Amon was the most important place among the labyrinths he managed, so it absolutely must not be conquered.
‘That idiot Kairos. This is all because of that bastard.’
This mess happened because he failed to seal Amon.
To think he couldn’t properly carry out a single order.
‘That stuffy moron, tsk!’
That’s when it happened.
[The God of Time ‘Kairos’ requests a conversation.]
The very bastard he was cursing had contacted him.
He didn’t want to see his face, but he had things to say, so he allowed the meeting.
[Administrator, thank you for allowing this conversation.]
[You came. Perfect, I had something I wanted to ask you.]
Kairos was slightly flustered that he was being sought out.
[Pl-please speak.]
[About this human called Lee Tae Seong. How was he able to grow so much?]
[Uh, that’s…]
[Is he a Regressor?]
Kairos was momentarily unable to continue speaking.
[I see. So he was a Regressor.]
[Yes…]
[Otherwise, there’s no way a human could climb over the 400th Floor at this point in time.]
[…]
Silence flowed between them for a while.
Kairos felt ashamed.
After all, it was none other than his pre-regression self who had granted the regression.
[I told you to participate in the Labyrinth and moderately raise some Apostles, but you’ve created quite the monster.]
[I-I didn’t know he would become this strong. I’m sorry.]
[Enough, what business do you have with me? And you came alone too.]
[Ah… Actually, the other gods wanted to come too, but I said I would come as their representative. Everyone finds you intimidating…]
[Just get to the point.]
At the cold response, Kairos felt like he was sitting on a bed of thorns and carefully opened his mouth.
[I wanted to seek advice. The Twelve Apostles we could command are imprisoned… I was wondering if we could somehow get help…]
[Advice?]
Administrator Hasaksios snorted.
Kairos hurriedly added more words.
[But… that’s just the surface reason, I actually came for a different reason.]
[What is it?]
[I heard you’re targeting Lee Tae Seong.]
[That’s right, I need to prevent the Labyrinth from being conquered quickly.]
[So… I’d like to help you.]
Hasaksios finally showed interest.
[How so?]
[He’ll soon go to the 440th Floor. He’ll have to make a choice there, and I’ll guide him to go to the floor you want. Please wait there in advance.]
[You’ll tell me his location?]
[Yes. Then it will be much easier for you to kill him.]
The Administrator grinned wickedly.
[That’s a good idea.]
After meeting Joshua and selling all the A-Grade Magic Crystals and B-rank Magic Stones I had collected, I entered the Labyrinth.
[You have entered Labyrinth Underground Floor 440.]
《Type: Rescue》
《Condition: Alone without help from others》
《Mission: Rescue a fellow Apostle in danger.》
[You cannot leave until you clear the mission.]
From the 440th Floor onward, it’s not a simple NPC rescue mission.
It’s a method of rescuing other Apostles who are conquering the Labyrinth alone.
Any Apostle who believed they could never interfere with another’s labyrinth would surely receive a huge shock from this mission.
‘Well, it’s a method of crossing dimensions, so it’s shocking enough.’
Ahead, several massive portals were open.
These were passages each connected to different dimensions.
[Please select a rescue target.]
▶Dimension A-7742 : 91st Floor Apostle Rescue
▶Dimension B-3351 : 92nd Floor Apostle Rescue
▶Dimension C-9981 : 93rd Floor Apostle Rescue
…
…
…
There were many options.
From the 91st Floor to the 105th Floor.
These were Apostles selected under the system’s judgment that they needed rescue.
‘Hmm, which one should I choose?’
Just then, an unexpected message arrived.
[The God of Time ‘Kairos’ says he will help you if you’re troubled by the choice.]
Suddenly Kairos is offering to help?
The god who had been silently watching all this time?
Something seemed strange, but I should listen first.
