Skill Devouring Up to Floor 666 Episode 171

 

171. vs Abysalon

 

‘Now that I’ve figured out the attack pattern, I should also check the defense pattern.’

 

A streak of lightning extended from the tip of the spear I swung.

 

Kwabang!

 

Speed too fast to respond to.

 

‘It hit properly.’

 

But Abysalon took no damage at all.

 

An invisible protective barrier was protecting his entire head.

 

[Insignificant fool!]

 

Dozens of eyeballs turned red simultaneously.

 

I know lasers will come flying soon since I experienced it 6 seconds ago.

 

Ziiiiing!

 

Kwakwakwakwabang!

 

A huge explosion occurred along with thick dust rising.

 

However, I wasn’t where the laser hit.

 

I was already falling from above Abysalon’s head.

 

I thrust down the spear like a streak of lightning.

 

Kwakwabang!

 

I thought he couldn’t dodge because his head was big, but he dodged this.

 

‘His quick reflexes are also at a considerable level.’

 

The test results were out.

 

Overall, he passes as my opponent.

 

But.

 

‘It’s not a difficult level.’

 

I already found out through Time Regression that he’s not free from the flow of time.

 

That was proven through the Tentacle Administrator as well.

 

[You insignificant demigod! Do you think such an attack would work? Now die!]

 

Abysalon’s head spins round and round as he prepares to shoot lasers.

 

In that split second gap to not give him the initiative.

 

‘Time Stop.’

 

I stopped time.

 

Though it was a short time, my body reached right in front of Abysalon at tremendous speed with Time Acceleration added.

 

I tore through the protective barrier with telekinesis while preparing a skill perfect for single targets.

 

‘Money Bundle Swing.’

 

As if all the cash I had accumulated was for this moment, tremendous mana gathered at the tip of my weapon.

 

Along with the form of swinging money, I struck Abysalon’s head with the spear.

 

At the same time, the stopped time flowed.

 

Kwajik!

 

[Keuaaaak!]

 

With a sound like a watermelon cracking, Abysalon bounced off the floor and flew away.

 

Then he came to his senses and stopped in mid-air, his appearance was miserable.

 

Like an apple someone had bitten into, part of his head was missing.

 

[How, how! A mere demigod broke through the protective barrier!]

 

He seemed flustered, not expecting the protective barrier to be broken.

 

Regardless.

 

‘Seeing that the attack works, I should give him one more hit.’

 

I rushed toward him again.

 

Unlike before, Abysalon’s eyes turned red like bloodshot, feeling a sense of crisis.

 

Ziiiiiing!

 

Dozens of lasers came flying simultaneously.

 

Each one had considerable power, but above all, their number was overwhelming.

 

The lasers pouring from all directions, I.

 

Whiriririk!

 

Canceled them out with lightning created by swinging the Lightning Spear.

 

Kwaaaaang!

 

The spear and lasers collided, causing a huge explosion.

 

[You, you blocked this?]

 

“I already figured out what level the laser’s power is at.”

 

Once again, I swung my spear and struck with lightning.

 

Kwaaaaang!

 

The moment Abysalon activated his protective barrier and frowned.

 

[!!]

 

When he opened his eyes, I was already thrusting my spear at close range.

 

Puuk!

 

[Kruk!?]

 

Abysalon let out a pained sound.

 

He immediately rotated his body to escape the attack range, but one eye was blinded.

 

[Damn it! This is the power of a mere human!? Impossible!]

 

There was panic mixed in Abysalon’s voice.

 

Smoke rose from several of his eyes.

 

It seemed he had taken considerable damage.

 

[Even if you became a demigod, to have this much power… You weren’t an ordinary human.]

 

After being hit several times, he seemed to finally realize.

 

That Hasaksios hadn’t come whining for help without reason.

 

‘I need to press the attack while I have momentum.’

 

It’s right to eliminate the Administrator here.

 

Before he becomes troublesome again later.

 

“King’s Army.”

 

Instantly, thousands of elite soldiers appeared.

 

The summons charged according to my will.

 

[Th-this!]

 

Abysalon began defending with lasers.

 

Ziiiiing!

 

Kwakwakwakwakwa!

 

Countless troops were swept away by a single red beam.

 

As he fired dozens of lasers, they disappeared like dust before even reaching Abysalon’s body.

 

It seemed like meaningless deaths, but it was fine.

 

Just diverting his attention was enough to fulfill their role.

 

‘Money Bundle Swing.’

 

Kwang!

 

My spear shattered the protective barrier and struck his head hard.

 

Once again, Abysalon’s head was dented deeply.

 

[Keuak! Ah, ahhhhh!]

 

The scream-like sound was brief.

 

[You damn bug!!! How dare you! I’ll really kill you!]

 

The enraged Abysalon brought out his last resort.

 

Suddenly space began to distort and something appeared.

 

What was revealed along with black smoke had a familiar face.

 

“…Volkov?”

 

The dead leader of the Black Circle had been revived.

 

‘How is this possible?’

 

But something was strange.

 

Ominous black energy poured from his entire body, and his eyes glowed red like blood.

 

He didn’t look like a living being.

 

Most importantly.

 

“Grrrrrr…”

 

He made beast-like sounds instead of human speech.

 

He seemed to have lost his reason.

 

[Kekekek! How is it? This is a work I personally modified! A being with an enhanced soul!]

 

Abysalon spoke proudly.

 

‘For that, he doesn’t look like much…’

 

At that moment.

 

The black energy from Volkov’s body grew even thicker.

 

The mana dormant within him began to bubble violently.

 

Like it was about to explode.

 

‘That’s… dangerous.’

 

I felt the power of high-purity mana from him, the same I felt from Terra.

 

And in vast quantities too.

 

‘I need to dodge.’

 

I felt it instinctively.

 

If I took that attack head-on, I would suffer serious damage.

 

[Die! Demigod!]

 

Just before the explosion.

 

I immediately chose to escape.

 

[Would you like to go down to the next floor? Y/N]

 

[If you select N, you can return to Earth.]

 

I pressed the Y button that I had been holding off on.

 

 

With a flash of light, Volkov exploded.

 

Kwaaaaaaaang!

 

A 10-kilometer radius was turned into a wasteland.

 

Abysalon took refuge in the dimensional space during that gap and watched the results.

 

[Kekeke. As expected, the power of the handmade bomb made with my Terra is tremendous.]

 

It was a power that even a demigod couldn’t survive.

 

However.

 

[What? That guy is on the 521st Floor?]

 

He ended up seeing Lee Tae Seong, who was clearly alive, with the administrator’s eyes.

 

[Damn! How did he escape? There shouldn’t have been any space to escape to?]

 

The desperate self-destruction using Volkov had become meaningless.

 

Anyway, now that he knew the location, he could ambush him once more.

 

But Abysalon didn’t bother to take action.

 

Because he was afraid of Lee Tae Seong.

 

[The power that guy possessed wasn’t at the level of a demigod that I know. He was ridiculously strong.]

 

To think there was a human who could corner him, an administrator, to this extent.

 

Abysalon groaned while pressing his burst eyeballs with his hands.

 

Black liquid kept flowing out.

 

[This damn bug dared to do this to me…]

 

Then space distorted and Hasaksios appeared.

 

[Abysalon, what happened? I was watching you fight the demigod…]

 

So he was watching after all?

 

Abysalon burst with anger.

 

[If you were watching, you should have helped! You damn tentacle bastard!]

 

[But… didn’t you say you could handle it alone?]

 

[Shut up!]

 

Hasaksios, who had seen him acting confident, was simply dumbfounded.

 

[Now you understand, right? Why I asked for your help.]

 

[Yes. It was as you said. He was much stronger than I thought. But…]

 

Dozens of Abysalon’s sharp eyes turned toward Hasaksios.

 

[Why didn’t you tell me this fact?]

 

[What?]

 

[Why didn’t you give me proper information and let me end up in this state?]

 

[Are you saying it’s my fault that you ended up like that?]

 

[Of course! If I had known he wasn’t an ordinary demigod, I wouldn’t have been beaten this badly!]

 

Hasaksios had a lot to say too, but couldn’t argue further.

 

Fighting among themselves wouldn’t solve the problem.

 

[Fine, I was wrong. So, what are you going to do now?]

 

[Kill him! That demigod bastard!]

 

[So how?]

 

Abysalon’s remaining eyes emitted a cold light.

 

[We need to call all the administrators and discuss countermeasures.]

 

 

Just before being swept up in the explosion, I was fortunately able to evacuate to the 521st Floor.

 

‘It was a tremendous explosion.’

 

I almost disappeared like dust.

 

It was such tremendous power that even invincibility couldn’t be trusted.

 

‘Judging by the fact that it wasn’t simple mana, was it an explosion using Terra?’

 

I have Terra too.

 

‘Maybe I could create that kind of power too?’

 

First of all, I learned something for certain from this confrontation.

 

Administrators aren’t such great beings.

 

‘It’s an entity I can handle at my current level.’

 

However, seeing that a head monster appeared after the tentacle monster, there might be several more.

 

‘That’s the problem. If their numbers increase, it becomes difficult to handle.’

 

Moreover, what if they create multiple bombs like Volkov just now?

 

It could be quite dangerous.

 

‘Whatever the case, I need to become stronger than I am now.’

 

Since the administrators have begun interfering in earnest, I too must become stronger to prepare.

 

By continuing to conquer the Labyrinth.

 

 

[You have cleared Labyrinth Underground 521st Floor!]

 

[You have cleared Labyrinth Underground 522nd Floor!]

 

[You have cleared Labyrinth Underground 523rd Floor!]

 

…

 

…

 

…

 

From Floor 520 of the Labyrinth, the rewards are enhanced.

 

The modifier changed from ‘tremendous’ to ‘overwhelming’, and stat rewards came in increments of 200.

 

‘I’ll push straight to the 529th Floor like this.’

 

Companion rescue missions and such were a piece of cake.

 

However, I couldn’t let my guard down because an administrator might appear like before.

 

But while climbing up to the 529th Floor, there wasn’t a single interference.

 

 

 

[You have cleared Labyrinth Underground 529th Floor!]

 

[Would you like to descend to the Next Floor? Y/N]

 

[If you select N, you can Return to Earth.]

 

I pressed Y again this time.

 

To become stronger, I must keep climbing without rest.

 

[You have entered Labyrinth Underground Floor 530.]

 

 

 

《Type: Battle》

 

《Condition: Alone without help from others》

 

《Mission: Win twice in Arena Battle.》

 

 

 

[You cannot exit until you clear the mission.]

 

‘The administrators won’t be able to interfere here.’

 

I approached the Arena Battle with a more relaxed mindset.

 

[91 consecutive wins achieved!]

 

[92 consecutive wins achieved!]

 

[93 consecutive wins achieved!]

 

…

 

…

 

[99 consecutive wins achieved!]

 

As I continued my winning streak, massive BP came in.

 

My score also increased, but there was no change in rank.

 

‘There doesn’t seem to be a higher rank. Seeing that it’s fixed at Champion rank.’

 

However, there was one change when I hit 100 consecutive wins.

 

[100 consecutive wins achieved!]

 

Because the Universe ranking finally hit 1st place.

 

[Congratulations on reaching 1st place in the Universe ranking!]

 

[Universe ranking 1st place reward will be given!]
