Skill Devouring Up to Floor 666 Episode 172
172. Universe Ranking 1st Place
Universe ranking 1st place reward?
I hadn’t even expected such a thing.
Naturally, I’d never reached it before so I didn’t even know they gave rewards.
[As a reward for Universe Ranking 1st place, all stats increase by 500!]
‘It goes up by 500?’
If you think about it, it’s like being given 500 Terra.
Even Dark Magic and White Magic Power all went up completely.
‘If I hadn’t awakened my stats beforehand, I almost wouldn’t have been able to receive this?’
But that wasn’t the only reward.
[As a special reward, you are given the ‘Arena Champion’ buff.]
[The buff will continue as long as you maintain 1st place in the rankings.]
‘Arena Champion?’
The information about the buff was quite surprising.
▷Arena Champion (Buff)
―Effect: While maintaining Universe Ranking 1st place, all stats +1,000 increase
‘It gives as much as 1,000?’
In other words, it was no different from a Terra 1,000 increase buff.
I had taken this good thing away from whoever was universe ranking 1st place.
‘Due to the nature of the buff, I’d have to give it up if I get pushed out of 1st place but…’
With my current skill level, the possibility of being pushed out is small.
In fact, even after achieving 100 consecutive wins, I continued my winning streak.
[101 consecutive wins achieved!]
[102 consecutive wins achieved!]
[103 consecutive wins achieved!]
…
…
[110 consecutive wins achieved!]
I broke through to the 539th floor and reached 110 consecutive wins.
[Congratulations on achieving 110 consecutive wins!]
[You additionally acquire 550 Battle Points as a bonus.]
From 100 consecutive wins onward, the BP according to consecutive wins also increased considerably.
As a result.
【Arena Battle】
◎Grade: Champion
◎Universe Ranking: 1st place
◎Earth Ranking: 1st place
◎MMR: 4,870 points
◎Arena Record: 70 wins 0 draws 0 losses
◎Grand Arena Record: 40 wins 0 draws 0 losses
◎Held BP: 2,000
‘Exactly 2,000 BP has been collected.’
With this, I can do skill enhancement 10 times.
I immediately selected enhancement from the Arena Shop.
[The effect of skill ‘Money Bundle Swing (SSS)’ is enhanced by 10%.]
[The effect of skill ‘Money Bundle Swing (SSS)’ is enhanced by 10%.]
…
…
…
The skill I chose was Money Bundle Swing.
‘Since it’s been proven effective when dealing with the Administrator.’
There’s no reason not to choose it.
I immediately went up to +10 enhancement and doubled its effectiveness.
●Strength: 13,444 / Penetration: 13,444
●Durability: 13,444 / Agility: 13,444
●Life: 13,444 / Mana: 13,444
●Regeneration: 13,444 / Resistance: 13,444
●Dark Magic: 13,444 / White Magic Power: 13,444
My stats also each exceeded 13,000.
The credits I possessed also exceeded 40 million.
‘I’ll use the credits when I accumulate a bit more…’
For now, I returned home.
I wanted to try putting together the orb fragments that had accumulated.
’80 Random Orb Fragments have accumulated.’
An amount that lets me open Random Orbs 20 times.
‘I hope something good comes out.’
I spread them on the floor and tried fitting the pieces together.
[4 Random Orb Fragments are being combined.]
[What type of orb will appear is random.]
The result message that appeared after a moment.
[Creating a random orb.]
[1,800,000 Credits obtained. Congratulations!]
‘Credits, huh.’
Feeling slightly disappointed, I immediately tried fitting the next orb.
[Creating a random orb.]
[Item ‘Skill Enhancement Orb (S)’ obtained. Congratulations!]
Not bad, but not what I wanted.
I continued fitting the pieces together.
[Creating a random orb.]
[Item ‘Strong Strength Elixir (A)’ obtained. Congratulations!]
[Creating a random orb.]
[Item ‘Accessory Selection Orb (S)’ obtained. Congratulations!]
Elixirs, potions, credit rewards, and so on.
Various things came out, but my interest was in skill enhancement.
‘It would be perfect if an SS-rank skill enhancement came out…’
A-rank to S-rank also came out, but I wasn’t satisfied with those.
If possible, I hoped the best orb would appear.
‘This is the last attempt.’
I looked at the exactly 4 remaining pieces and tried fitting them together.
Then a miracle happened.
[Creating a random orb.]
[Item ‘Skill Enhancement Orb (SS)’ obtained. Congratulations!]
‘What?’
I had failed 19 times so I wasn’t expecting much, but I caught a big fish.
‘With this, I can make an SS-rank into SSS.’
I had various SS-rank skills, but there was one skill I wanted to enhance right away.
[Using Skill Enhancement Orb (SS).]
[Money Bundle Swing’s rank has been enhanced from SS→SSS.]
▷Money Bundle Swing (SSS)+10
―Effect: Swing money bundles in a fan shape to deal damage. The more cash you have, the higher the damage.
The word “fan shape” was added to the description.
The range had widened.
Since it was enhanced, the power must have become stronger too.
‘Even if several head monsters come, one shot should solve it.’
Moreover, since it became stronger than before, I wouldn’t need to hit their heads multiple times.
With a satisfied heart, I also used the remaining skill enhancement orbs.
A-rank to S-rank.
S-rank to SS-rank.
After finishing the enhancements, without even time to rest, I entered the sinkhole again.
[You have entered Labyrinth Underground Floor 540.]
《Type: Resolution》
《Condition: None》
《Mission: Protect the village for 3 hours.》
[You cannot go outside until you clear the mission.]
Another defense mission to protect the village.
But it wouldn’t be difficult.
Like last time, I just needed to use damage over time skills in stacks to rain down death.
‘Plus, with the Guardian’s Oath Achievement, protecting the villagers is a piece of cake.’
Didn’t I already have a record of protecting 3,000 hostages?
Sure enough.
[Successfully blocked all attacks!]
[Protected the village!]
[Cleared Labyrinth Underground Floor 540!]
[Number of villagers who died on Floor 540: 0]
[Cleared with miraculous play!]
[An Achievement is unlocked as a record clear reward.]
I safely cleared this time too and received rewards.
However, unlike last time, it wasn’t an A-rank but an S-rank Achievement.
[Achievement ‘Guardian Angel (S)’ 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.]
▶Guardian Angel(S)
―Acquisition Path: Labyrinth Underground Floor 540
―Effect: Can defend against attacks that would lead to death up to three times. Has a 24-hour cooldown.
―Time remaining until permanent acquisition: 9 days 23 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds
‘This is pretty good?’
I have an Achievement called Mental Barrier that nullifies mental attacks.
But this Achievement is one that prevents physical death.
‘With these two, I’d basically be invincible.’
There was a limit of three times, but even one situation like that would be hard to come by right now.
Of course, it would be necessary when facing Amon on the 666th Floor or when confronting the Administrator.
‘It would be good to have as insurance.’
After that, from the 541st to 549th floors.
I perfectly cleared the rescue missions by saving villagers from monsters.
[Would you like to go down to the next floor? Y/N]
[If you select N, you can return to Earth.]
‘I’ll go straight to the next floor.’
[You have entered Labyrinth Underground Floor 550.]
《Type: Raid》
《Conditions: None》
《Mission: Defeat 1 Ancient Dragon.》
[You cannot exit until you clear the mission.]
The following raid mission.
I cleared it just as easily.
At my level, the only difference between regular monsters and boss-level monsters was their larger size.
[You have cleared Labyrinth Underground Floor 550!]
[You have cleared Labyrinth Underground Floor 551!]
[You have cleared Labyrinth Underground Floor 552!]
…
…
…
[You have cleared Labyrinth Underground Floor 559!]
When I had cleared all the raid missions up to the 559th floor.
I had collected about 20 Random Orb Fragments.
‘Should I try it here?’
I assembled the fragments in the labyrinth without bothering to return to Earth.
[4 Random Orb Fragments are being combined.]
[What type of orb will appear is random.]
The result?
[Creating a random orb.]
[Item ‘Skill Enhancement Orb(S)’ has appeared. Congratulations!]
A satisfying item came out.
‘One more time.’
I continued assembling them.
[Item ‘Skill Enhancement Orb(S)’ has appeared. Congratulations!]
[Item ‘Skill Enhancement Orb(S)’ has appeared. Congratulations!]
Skill Enhancement Orbs appearing consecutively.
4 out of 5 were S-Rank Skill Enhancement Orbs.
The remaining 1 was an A-rank Elixir.
‘Wow, I’m lucky today?’
Since they came out, I used them right away.
I didn’t have many S-Rank Skills to enhance, so there weren’t many options.
[Using Skill Enhancement Orb(S).]
[Wind, Move has been enhanced from S→SS rank.]
When it was enhanced to SS rank, the delay time disappeared.
‘Originally I had to concentrate for 30 seconds…’
Now I could immediately cast protective barriers on others and teleport instantly.
I could even intervene while in the labyrinth.
[Using Skill Enhancement Orb(S).]
[Mana Shield has been enhanced from S→SS rank.]
Mana Shield is a passive skill that surrounds the body with a protective barrier.
I invested in it for damage reduction in case I got attacked.
[Using Skill Enhancement Orb(S).]
[Power of Immortality has been enhanced from S→SS rank.]
[Using Skill Enhancement Orb(S).]
[Blood Shield’s grade has been enhanced from S→SS.]
Power of Immortality and Blood Shield were also investments for defense.
‘Both are skills that grant invincibility. They should be fine as insurance.’
After enhancing them, the duration increased a bit more.
This should be helpful.
‘Should I head to Floor 560 now?’
But then.
[You have entered Labyrinth Underground Floor 560.]
《Type: Annihilation》
《Condition: Without using skills》
《Mission: Defeat 1,000 Bone Knights.》
[You cannot exit until the mission is cleared.]
‘Huh?’
Somehow this doesn’t seem like the mission I originally knew.
