Skill Devouring Up to Floor 666 Episode 192

192. Labyrinth Underground 666th Floor

At the time when Lee Tae Seong was about to tackle the 662nd floor.

The Administrators’ Space was in an uproar.

[That bastard Ditrit, where the hell did he go?]

[Why hasn’t he shown himself yet?]

Dozens of hours had passed since he followed Hasaksios, claiming to verify the news that Hasaksios had captured the demigod.

Yet there was still no word from Ditrit.

[Has anyone seen Ditrit?]

[I haven’t seen him.]

[Following Hasaksios was the last time, right?]

[That’s right.]

[Wouldn’t it be faster to ask Hasaksios?]

[The problem is that even Hasaksios isn’t showing himself.]

[Shouldn’t someone go to that guy’s subspace?]

[Does any administrator know Hasaksios’s coordinates?]

Since he had followed Hasaksios, finding him was the priority.

However, there was no need for that.

Soon Hasaksios revealed himself among the administrators.

[Hasaksios!]

[You’ve been missing all this time, why are you only showing up now?]

[Where’s Ditrit?]

[Why did you come back alone?]

Under the barrage of questions from the administrators, Hasaksios trembled his tentacles.

[Th, that’s…]

[What the hell happened? Where is Ditrit!]

Under the pressing pressure, Hasaksios reluctantly spoke out.

[Ditrit is dead…]

[What?]

[What are you saying? Ditrit is dead?]

[Does it make sense for an administrator to die?]

The reactions were absurd, but it wasn’t entirely impossible.

[Don’t tell me… he was killed by the demigod?]

At those words, Hasaksios squeezed his eyes shut and rubbed his tentacles frantically.

[I, I’m really sorry! It’s all my fault! I never thought the demigod would break free from the binding!]

[What?]

[It’s because of me. Because of me, Ditrit…]

[Calm down and tell us in detail, Hasaksios. What exactly happened?]

The sobbing Hasaksios soon calmly explained the whole story.

[So… Ditrit was caught off guard by the demigod’s surprise attack?]

[And you barely managed to return alive?]

[Y, yes… that’s right.]

Hasaksios was dejected with a guilt-ridden expression.

As if Ditrit’s death was because of him.

[It’s my fault… If only I had bound him properly back then…]

[Don’t blame yourself too much, Hasaksios. You couldn’t have known things would turn out this way.]

Other administrators came to defend Hasaksios, who was drooping his tentacles gloomily.

However, the other administrators didn’t know that all of this was acting.

‘Hehe, they’ve all fallen for my genius acting.’

Although the demigod had said he would handle the administrators himself, Hasaksios was impatient.

If he continued to hole up in his dwelling, it would only fuel suspicion.

‘In that case, it’s better to speak honestly and ask for forgiveness.’

Even if he received criticism from his fellow administrators, he would tell the truth and evoke sympathy.

And.

‘I’ll also cultivate a desire for revenge against the demigod.’

No matter how strong the demigod was, what couldn’t be accomplished if the administrators united with one heart and mind?

That’s what Hasaksios was aiming for.

Using the administrators to eliminate Lee Tae Seong.

‘Eliminating the demigod would be best, but if the administrators die, that would be good too. I’d be able to claim the position of Primordial Administrator.’

Either way, it was beneficial.

That’s why he involved the administrators without even telling Lee Tae Seong.

While acting as if he was apologizing for Ditrit’s death.

But not everyone was defending him.

[That’s right. It’s because of you.]

Administrator Ardiols spoke in a cold voice.

[You killed Ditrit. You were the one bragging about capturing the demigod and showing off.]

[…]

[Hey. Even so, that’s going too far…]

[But you know what.]

Ardiols’ words weren’t finished yet.

[The worse bastard is that Demigod. If it weren’t for that human, none of us would have been annihilated.]

At those words, the Administrators nodded and agreed.

Everyone was united in feeling anger toward the Demigod.

[The Demigod, we need to kill that bastard.]

[Right. After Abysalon and Beriak, this is the third time. This is a serious problem!]

All the Administrators shared the same thought.

There was no room for disagreement that the Demigod had to be stopped.

However.

[But… how do we kill a Demigod who killed an Administrator?]

[Exactly. There’s no way.]

No one could come up with a clear solution.

[Where is the Demigod now?]

Hasaksios answered Ardiols’ question.

[I believe he’s just about to attempt the 662nd Floor…]

[662nd Floor? Then he’s already climbed quite high?]

[What if he clears all the way to the 666th Floor?]

[We won’t be able to mine Divine Force anymore!]

The Administrators’ voices grew louder.

They were in a state of panic.

[We need to stop him immediately!]

[Right! We have to kill him!]

[But how? Which of us can stop the Demigod?]

[If we all combine our strength, wouldn’t it be possible? Even a Demigod can’t face all of us at once!]

[Just meeting him would require enormous energy though?]

[Right? Even if we meet him, it would be meaningless if Terra is ruined!]

For Administrators to intervene in the Human World, massive amounts of Terra are needed.

How much Terra was used just for the Earth invasion?

[Then, what about making contact in the Labyrinth for assassination?]

[Right! Like Hasaksios, we all wait on the 665th Floor!]

[Good idea. The Labyrinth has less interdimensional interference, so it requires relatively small amounts of Terra!]

Opinions converged, but Hasaksios shook his head.

[You don’t understand. From the 660th Floor onwards, Administrator intervention is impossible.]

[What?]

[Why on earth?]

[From the 660th Floor, energy to contain Amon is layered. Because of that, mana becomes unstable and external intervention consumes more Terra. As much as intervening in the Human World.]

[It costs that much?]

The Administrators’ eyes widened at this unknown information.

[At this rate, there’s no way?]

[We can’t meet him directly?]

[Then, do we just have to watch helplessly? Watch him clear the Labyrinth!?]

As everyone was becoming dejected, Ardiols spoke.

[It’s not that there’s no way.]

[Do you have some plan?]

[The Three Gods.]

[The Three Gods?]

[Ah, those souls who participated in the Labyrinth as Sponsoring Spirits?]

[Why those guys?]

[Didn’t those guys combine their power to make the Demigod regress in the past?]

[They did.]

[Then what if we tell those guys to make the Demigod regress?]

[Ah…!]

The Administrators’ eyes changed.

[That method existed!]

[Right! Those guys are beings designed differently from ordinary Transcendent Spirits!]

[Exactly! They’re the only ones who can make a specific Apostle regress!]

[We can order those guys to make the Demigod regress!]

[Then everything will return to the starting point!]

As hope began to appear, the Administrators’ expressions brightened.

[Good. Let’s talk to the Three Gods immediately. Before it’s too late!]

[You have entered Labyrinth Underground 662nd Floor.]

《Type: Survival》

《Condition: Within 12 hours time limit》

《Mission: Block all incoming enemies.》

[You cannot exit until the mission is cleared.]

The 662nd Floor had the same mission as the previous floors.

A mission that just required spending time.

I endured the tedious time while blocking the swarming monsters.

[You have cleared Labyrinth Underground 662nd Floor!]

The next floor was the same.

[You have cleared Labyrinth Underground 663rd Floor!]

[You have cleared Labyrinth Underground 664th Floor!]

It took some time, but I was able to clear them with certainty.

Up to the 665th floor.

[You have cleared Labyrinth Underground 665th Floor!]

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

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

Now only one floor remained.

‘Finally, I’ll be able to meet Amon. Not the Amon known to people, but the real God of Destruction, Amon.’

Of course, he probably wasn’t a true god either.

I could tell just by seeing him being ordered around by the Administrators within the labyrinth.

‘I’m going. To the 666th floor.’

When I touched Y, my vision went dark.

No, to be precise, I had entered a space of darkness.

[You have entered Labyrinth Underground 666th Floor.]

《Type: Annihilation》

《Conditions: None》

《Mission: Defeat Amon, the God of Destruction.》

[You cannot leave until you complete the mission.]

Whoosh!

As soon as the mission window appeared, torches lit up, brightly illuminating the dark cavern.

In the center stood a demon with red skin and a muscular build, revealing his massive body.

It was Amon, the final boss I couldn’t defeat even before my regression.

‘Last time I only managed to cut off one arm.’

But now it was different.

I was confident I could kill him and completely conquer the labyrinth.

I could tell by looking at his mana.

My senses, sharpened after becoming a demigod, allowed me to gauge at a glance who was the stronger being.

‘I’m overwhelmingly stronger.’

The arm I had struggled to cut off in the past would now be severed easily with just a flick of my finger.

Killing Amon would be as easy as picking an apple right in front of me.

It was clear that with just a little effort, I would achieve the first-ever accomplishment of completely conquering the labyrinth.

However.

‘I can’t kill him yet. I have many things to ask.’

I walked slowly toward him.

Though he looked down at me with fierce eyes, I wasn’t afraid in the slightest.

When I reached close range, I stopped walking and looked up at Amon.

“Long time no see, Amon.”

[Human. No, a demigod?]

“I have something to ask you.”

Amon exhaled sulfurous breath through his nostrils and moved those yellow eyes toward me.

[What is it?]

“There was a message I heard just before dying. It said the core would awaken through an unknown power.”

[….]

“Thanks to that, I was able to become a demigod and reach my current position.”

Amon just listened silently.

He neither refuted my words nor launched any sudden attacks.

“Thinking about it now, it seems like you injected power into my soul so the core could awaken. You, from before my regression.”

There was nothing else it could have been.

The awakening of my dormant core happened coincidentally right after my battle with Amon.

“Was it you who made me into a demigod?”

[….]

“For what reason did you awaken my core and help me become a demigod?”

I waited for an answer.

After a long silence, Amon finally opened his mouth.

[I have no idea what you’re talking about.]
