Skill Devouring Up to Floor 666 Episode 181
181. Final Arena
[You have cleared Labyrinth Underground 601st Floor!]
[You have cleared Labyrinth Underground 602nd Floor!]
[You have cleared Labyrinth Underground 603rd Floor!]
…
…
…
[You have cleared Labyrinth Underground 609th Floor!]
From the 600th Floor, the stat rewards changed.
What used to give 300 each had increased to 450 each.
The modifier also changed from ‘Marvelous’ to ‘Terrifying’.
However.
‘Either way, the difficulty is the same for me.’
No matter how difficult the missions become, no matter how the monster levels change, it means nothing.
Whatever tricks the Administrators pull, they all go down in one hit anyway.
My level was unimaginably strong to that degree.
Strong enough that I could even defeat Amon on the 666th Floor.
Until a little while ago I wasn’t certain, but now I could say it with confidence.
Thanks to the Terra I gained after killing an Administrator.
‘Who would have thought an Administrator would give that much Terra.’
If one gave that much, what if I caught several of them?
Wouldn’t I be able to become incredibly strong?
‘The problem is that no more Administrators are appearing.’
During the rescue missions from the 601st to 609th floors, no other Administrators appeared.
‘It would have been nice if even the Tentacle Monster had shown up.’
Perhaps because of the experience of gaining over 40,000 Terra after killing Abysalon, I was now actually hoping for Administrators to appear.
But they seemed to be hiding away completely.
‘I guess I shouldn’t reveal too much of my strength?’
It would be troublesome if the prey got scared and hid.
The Administrators were the most efficient source of Terra after all.
‘I need to approach this more carefully.’
With those thoughts, I arrived at the 610th Floor.
[You have entered Labyrinth Underground 610th Floor.]
《Type: Battle》
《Condition: Alone without help from others》
《Mission: Win twice in Arena Battle.》
[You cannot leave until you clear the mission.]
It was the usual Arena Battle, but this time it had a slightly different meaning.
‘After finishing up to the 619th Floor, there will be no more battles.’
Thinking it was the last one gave me a somewhat bittersweet feeling.
[Before the duel, we will check the participant’s information.]
【Arena Battle】
◎Rank: 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
◎BP Held: 0
[Participant information has been confirmed.]
[Random matching with participants of similar MMR scores will begin.]
[Please wait a moment.]
Not only Earth ranking but Universe ranking 1st place too.
As a condition for maintaining 1st place, all stats increase by 1,000 each.
‘It would be impossible to drop from 1st place for a while.’
Even now I win easily just by flicking my finger like snapping a chicken’s neck, so could there be anyone who could surpass my MMR?
Perhaps because of that, it took some time to find a matching opponent.
[There are no opponents with similar MMR scores.]
[We will match you with a lower MMR opponent.]
[A matching opponent has been found!]
[Your duel opponent will appear before you in 10 seconds.]
In the end, I was matched with an opponent with a lower score.
‘Probably the Universe ranking 2nd place.’
[The duel begins!]
[Time remaining until duel ends: 9 minutes 59 seconds]
The opponent who appeared before me was, as expected.
The man I had encountered before.
The man who flinched and trembled soon placed his hand on the sword at his waist, but before he could even do that.
Crack!
With a single gesture from me, his neck snapped and he disappeared.
《Victory!》
《My MMR 4,900(+30) points》
[111 Win Streak Achieved!]
[Win streak bonus (+10) applied.]
[30 Battle Points acquired.]
Easy victories weren’t limited to just one-on-one matches.
[Starting Grand Arena.]
[Beginning random matching with participants of similar MMR scores.]
[Please wait a moment.]
Soon after.
[Team member matching successful.]
[Match opponent found!]
[Moving to battlefield.]
The teammates I saw in the waiting room looked obviously weak.
It seemed like I was assigned relatively weak teammates because my MMR was too high.
‘It doesn’t matter anyway. I can clear it by myself.’
I had the Avatar of Arena achievement and possessed skills capable of taking on a hundred enemies alone.
‘King’s Army.’
Thousands of troops rushed in as soon as the arena started, bringing down the towers.
“Wh-what is this?”
“What kind of crazy ability is this!”
“Why is the balance like this? This is cheating!?”
No matter what the opposing team said, I finished the match in an instant.
[112 Win Streak Achieved!]
[113 Win Streak Achieved!]
[114 Win Streak Achieved!]
…
…
[120 Win Streak Achieved!]
[Congratulations on achieving 120 win streak!]
[600 Battle Points acquired as bonus.]
…
…
[121 Win Streak Achieved!]
[122 Win Streak Achieved!]
[123 Win Streak Achieved!]
…
…
[130 Win Streak Achieved!]
[Congratulations on achieving 130 win streak!]
[650 Battle Points acquired as bonus.]
Up to the 619th floor, I had decorated all arena matches with victories far too easily.
But perhaps because it was the last one?
[All arena records achieved with perfect wins!]
[2,600 Battle Points acquired as reward.]
An amazing amount of BP was added.
When I opened the Arena Shop, the first thing I saw was my BP holdings.
╔══ Arena Shop ══╗
BP Holdings: 4600
• Strength +1 Enhancement (10 BP)
• Penetration +1 Enhancement (10 BP)
• Durability +1 Enhancement (10 BP)
…
…
…
• Skill Effect +10% Enhancement (200 BP)
╚══════════╝
‘I’ve accumulated 4,600?’
With this, I could do skill enhancement 23 times, right?
‘First, starting with Parasite…’
[Skill ‘Parasite (SSS)’ effect enhanced by 10%.]
[200 BP deducted.]
I invested three times in Parasite to make it +10.
And with the remaining BP.
[Skill ‘Soul Strike (SSS)’ effect enhanced by 10%.]
[200 BP deducted.]
Soul Strike, which had been effective against the Administrator.
[The effect of skill ‘Time Stop (SSS)’ is enhanced by 10%.]
[200 BP is deducted.]
I enhanced Time Stop, which is always useful.
All the way to +10.
‘Time Stop, Soul Strike, Parasite, Money Bundle Swing, Grip of the Dead – I’ve made them all +10.’
Having maximally enhanced the skills I use frequently made me feel secure.
With this, Arena Battle ends with the 619th Floor as the last.
There are resolution missions starting from the 620th Floor, but I decided to return to Earth for now.
‘Since many Parasite slots have opened up, I need skills to copy.’
The more skills, the better.
Later I can use Achievement to perform Skill Fusion and further enhance the skills I mainly use.
‘I need to copy more skills.’
To do that?
I’ll need to write a post on Transcendence Net.
‘Should I call people together after a long time?’
I accessed Transcendence Net and wrote an announcement using administrator privileges.
[Announcement][Author: Amon]
<Title: We are hosting the 2nd Festival of Apostles.>
└Content: Hello, fellow Apostles. This is Amon.
The response to the last festival was good, so this time too I want to have time to meet and communicate with the Apostles.
And at this point when complete conquest isn’t far off, I also have things to tell you all.
Date and Time: Tomorrow 4 PM
Location: Central Park, New York
Content: Free exchange and information sharing among Apostles
The location is the same as last time.
Please refer to the above content and we ask for your active participation.
-From Amon-
This time too, comments exploded as soon as I posted the announcement.
└Another festival?
└I love it! It’s a chance to see Lord Amon!
└This time more people will gather than last time.
└Probably. Disabled people from all over the world will rush over asking to regenerate their limbs.
└It would be a lifelong wish, so naturally. I’d book a flight to New York too.
└But is this really Amon? It’s not fake, right?
└Can’t you tell from seeing it’s posted as an announcement?
└Strange? I feel like there were similar comments before…
└But I am a bit cautious. Last time I thought it was an Amon fan meeting but it turned out to be a terrorist organization called Black Circle or something.
└Don’t worry. Since it’s posted as an announcement, this time it’s certain.
└Anyway, I’m glad the venue isn’t Korea. If we gathered on that cramped land, it would have been chaos.
└Can I get an autograph if I go?
└Lord Amon… can baldness also be cured with healing magic?
└Give up on baldness. Impossible.
Just like last time, the response was enthusiastic.
‘Many will gather this time too, right?’
With Parasite enhanced to +10, twelve slots increased.
I can add 46 new skills additionally.
‘I can acquire skills under the pretext of a festival, which is nice.’
Let me take a brief rest for now.
I had been running through dozens of floors without rest, and I was tired from the final battle with the Administrator.
‘Should I try assembling some Random Orbs while resting?’
Quite a lot of Random Orb Fragments had accumulated while conquering over 40 floors.
This should be enough to make about 20 orbs.
[4 Random Orb Fragments are being combined.]
[What type of orb will appear is random.]
Since I thought of it, I tried right away.
The results of 20 draws?
―1 SS-rank Skill Enhancement
―3 S-rank Skill Enhancement
―5 A-rank Skill Enhancement
―1 S-rank Elixir
―3 A-rank Elixir
―4 Credit rewards
―1 A-rank Armor Selection Ticket
―1 A-rank Accessory Selection Ticket
―1 A-rank Shoe Selection Ticket
Among the various rewards, what caught my eye most was none other than the SS-rank Skill Enhancement.
‘I should enhance Balance Gap with this. It’s good for hiding when there might be danger.’
I enhanced a skill in preparation for emergencies.
[Using Skill Enhancement Orb (SS).]
[Balance Gap’s rank has been enhanced from SS→SSS.]
I looked at the description to see what had changed.
▷Balance Gap (SSS)
―Effect: Hides the body in the Dimensional Gap. In this state, you cannot receive attacks and can freely observe reality. When attacking, balance breaks and you are forcibly returned to reality.
The effect had changed somewhat.
‘Originally, it was a skill that found the balance point between reality and illusion and hid the body in that gap.’
But the Dimensional Gap?
‘Has something changed?’
I tried using the skill to confirm.
And I soon had no choice but to be surprised.
[You, how did you get here?]
“….”
Because I was able to meet the Tentacle Monster I had so wanted to see.
“Nice to see you? Hasaksios.”
