Skill Devouring to the 666th Floor Episode 059

59. Changed Park Se-jun

I chuckled as I watched the gangsters cheering and making a ruckus with each other.

‘Are you happy?’

Yeah, they have good reason to be happy.

Their organization almost got swallowed up.

What would have happened if I had arrived late?

The Geonkon Faction might have devoured the organization and even put the Park Se Hee siblings in danger.

‘Come to think of it… there was one suspicious van in front of the hideout.’

Did they ambush me after seeing me enter in the first place?

Whatever the case, the Geonkon Faction messed with the wrong person.

Of all people, they had to mess with me, the strongest person in the world.

‘He’s cruel enough to kill people right in front of others. He deserves to die.’

So I gave him the same treatment.

He was obviously a criminal who committed countless threats, illegal debt collection, and fraud through loan sharking.

The world is better off without his existence.

‘Thanks to that, I was able to raise my karma a bit.’

Black haze rising from the dead corpse.

Of course, only I could see it, so other people didn’t find it strange.

[You have absorbed karma.]

[12% until core completion…]

I absorbed the energy from three Apostles – Oh Geon Gon and his two subordinates – raising it by 3%.

I killed only the Apostles as an example because of karma.

There was no need to kill the ordinary gangsters.

‘Since they lost their organization’s leader, well, they’ll either scatter or tear each other apart and collapse on their own.’

I’ll stop worrying about the Geonkon Faction now.

If there’s something to worry about, it’s the karma I just absorbed.

‘Come to think of it, when I absorbed Terra, a warning message appeared, but not with karma?’

It’s still a mystery.

I don’t even know exactly what kind of energy karma is.

I’ll have to fill it to 100% first to solve the mystery.

“Boss.”

Soon Gu approaches me from among the cheering subordinates.

“You really did well. If you hadn’t been here, our organization would have been swallowed by the Geonkon Faction.”

“Enough of that, just clean up these corpses. We have guests over there, so we shouldn’t show them such a gruesome sight.”

Only then does Soon Gu notice the presence of Park Se Hee and Park Se-jun.

“Ah, understood.”

He hurriedly prepares something to cover the bodies with.

Then he approaches me discreetly and says.

“What should we do about those people? They saw something they shouldn’t have…”

“What do you mean? Let them go.”

“But… what if they report to the police…”

They were witnesses at a murder scene.

It would be natural not to let them live.

“Hey.”

I lowered my voice and gave sincere advice.

“No matter how trashy your life is, should you really touch innocent civilians? Do you want to become trash too?”

“Ah… my thinking was short-sighted. I’m sorry.”

“You guys listen well too.”

I took this opportunity to warn all the gangsters.

“Didn’t I tell you before? Don’t cause trouble and live properly. When I said don’t touch civilians, I wasn’t just saying it casually. Getting rid of the loan business wasn’t just a simple elimination either. I gave you guys a chance to live as new people. Got it?”

“…”

“So don’t miss the opportunity I gave you and grab it. If there’s any bastard who ignores my warning and touches civilians, they’ll end up like Yang Pal here. Understand?”

“Yes! We understand!”

A resounding answer.

I thought they’d be frozen under my pressure, but it didn’t feel like that.

‘They’re full of spirit, aren’t they?’

Like well-trained soldiers.

The ones who were actually frozen were the Park Se Hee siblings.

“You may go.”

“Um… really?”

“But I’d appreciate it if you could pretend you didn’t see what happened today. Killing people wasn’t the right thing to do, but it would be troublesome if the police got involved.”

I spoke honestly.

Whatever the case, Park Se Hee likes honesty.

“…I understand. Let’s go, Se Jun.”

“Uh, yeah….”

Watching the two siblings carefully leave through the door, I thought.

‘I should disband the gangsters. Tell them not to come to this hideout anymore either.’

Since Capital disappeared anyway, there’s no reason for them to stay here.

The Park Se Hee siblings returned home.

They didn’t say a word to each other the entire walk back.

The silence was broken only when they had completely entered after taking off their shoes.

“Se Jun, are you okay?”

“Uh, huh?”

“You witnessed something cruel today.”

“Ah….”

“Don’t you think we should go to the hospital?”

Something that might remain as a lifelong trauma.

Park Se Hee was worried about that.

“I, I’m fine. What about you, sis?”

“I’m more composed in situations like this since I work in the emergency room.”

“….”

“What do you want to do? Should we go to the hospital once?”

Her brother seemed dazed.

She had suggested it because of his appearance, but that wasn’t the real reason.

“That person… who was he?”

“Who?”

“Kang Hee Seong? Did he say he was the boss of the Heeseong Faction?”

“What about that person?”

“How was he so fast?”

Park Se Hee looked stunned for a moment.

“That’s what you were curious about?”

“Yeah. His movements were incredibly fast.”

“Well, that’s because he’s an Apostle….”

“Are Apostles originally that fast?”

“No, well… I don’t know much either… but probably because that person is strong?”

“Cool….”

“Huh?”

Park Se Hee was slightly shocked by the words that came from her brother’s mouth.

“I want to become that strong too….”

He muttered it, but she clearly heard it.

That he wanted to become strong.

It was certainly surprising.

This was the first time her brother had ever said he wanted to become something.

“Can you move like that too, sis?”

“No, no. I’m non-combat, so I can’t do that much….”

“What’s your skill, sis?”

Suddenly he was taking interest in her.

That same brother who had been indifferent even when she told him she became an Apostle.

‘I should tell him honestly, right?’

Rather than lying, which would be more uncomfortable, she revealed the truth.

That she had three skills.

“But they’re all Recovery Skills. Though one of them can be used for combat as well.”

“Then, how do you become an Apostle?”

“It’s not something you can become by your own will. You have to be chosen by a Sponsoring Spirit.”

“Do you have a Sponsoring Spirit too, sis?”

“Yeah. Three of them….”

“Three? I thought you could only receive from one?”

“I thought so too. But it turns out that’s not the case.”

“How did you do it?”

How did she do it?

She didn’t know either.

Not until the Mysterious Man gave her advice.

“Some man told me that if you enter the Labyrinth and prove your qualifications, you can receive the choice of the Three Gods.”

“What man?”

“A man I don’t know.”

A man who left only advice like a benefactor and disappeared.

Thanks to him, she gained three skills and became much stronger.

‘Thanks to that, I was able to save more patients.’

But now that she thinks about it….

‘That man and… they have the same voice, don’t they?’

The voices of the gangster boss called Kang Hee Seong and the Mysterious Man match.

She’s certain because it was an unforgettable voice.

‘Could the person who appeared and gave advice back then be…’

Kang Hee Seong?

‘Ah, that can’t be right. He’s just a gangster.’

Besides, those eyes that looked at him like seeing him for the first time.

It was too much of a stretch to judge based on voice alone.

‘More importantly, I heard earlier that he met a Prophet…’

Could it really be true?

Could there really be someone with a Future Sight Skill?

He put aside his doubts for now.

Right now, he was just happy that his younger brother was showing enthusiasm for something.

Even while Lee Tae Seong was dealing with the gangsters, his ViewTube channel was growing rapidly.

The video he had scheduled also went up as soon as midnight struck.

【Amon’s Labyrinth 31st Floor Strategy Guide】

└Oh! The 31st Floor strategy guide is up!

└Wow… You cleared it incredibly fast again this time.

└It’d be hard to follow along watching this, right?

└I’d probably tear my groin trying to copy this.

└But this is another trap mission?

└It’ll probably be trap missions all the way to the 39th Floor, right?

└That’s disappointing. I wanted to see Amon hunting.

└I’ll wait patiently until the 40th Floor video comes up.

Comments poured in as soon as the new video was uploaded.

└Is this really Amon’s video?!

└Amon! Aku cinta kamu! ❤

└Muito bom video, obrigado!

└アモンってだったの？くそ、ましい….

Even foreign comments started appearing.

Since his coordinates had been marked worldwide through Transcendence Net.

The subscriber count went without saying.

@Amon’s Labyrinth Strategy • 1 million subscribers • 3 videos

‘Fuck. Already over 500,000? It’s only been a day?’

Liu Weihao, who was watching ViewTube, ground his teeth in rage.

The channel of the bastard who had trapped him in this cramped cabin was already growing this much.

It made his stomach hurt.

Considerably.

‘Strictly speaking, he didn’t exactly trap me, but…’

Still, it was no different from living in prison.

If he went to the city, the Death God inside his body would kill him.

‘Ugh! I’m getting goosebumps and can’t even sleep well.’

How could he sleep peacefully with a Death God inside his body?

He just tossed and turned with an uneasy feeling.

‘More importantly, what the hell is that bastard’s identity? To command a Death God.’

Just how does he summon and command a Death God like his own limbs?

He thought about it carefully but no answer came.

What he could guess at most was.

‘He even made his nickname Amon when registering… Could it be? Really Amon?’

That the guy was really a demon.

Just seeing how he toyed with him was close to demonic.

‘Actually… nothing is certain.’

It was unclear whether that guy was Amon.

He was only speculating.

‘Is there anyone other than Amon who could trap me like this?’

He, the strongest, had been helplessly defeated like a toy.

But that alone was weak evidence to conclude he was Amon.

‘Whatever the case, he must be receiving insane sponsorship from Sponsoring Spirits.’

His ViewTube views kept increasing.

He cleared the most Labyrinths.

People worldwide were praising Amon.

‘He must be living the good life, that damn bastard.’

People would never dream that Amon was doing such demonic things behind the scenes.

‘Damn it. My stomach hurts so much I could die.’

It wasn’t a metaphor.

His stomach really hurt from not eating properly.

He couldn’t even think about his murderous urges.

Fortunately, there were ramen and cooking utensils prepared inside the cabin.

‘When did he prepare all this?’

Anyway, the quantity was small.

What if he doesn’t provide food supplies?

I’d have to eat as sparingly as possible.

But I couldn’t endure it any longer.

‘This won’t do. I need to cook some ramen before tackling the labyrinth.’

Unable to bear the hunger, I cooked a pack of ramen.

Since I’d been starving for the past day or two, this much luxury should be acceptable, right?

Bubble bubble—

“Ahh. Smells good.”

The completed ramen.

While slurping it down, I watched ViewTube videos on my mobile phone.

None other than Amon’s Floor 30 strategy video.

I wasn’t watching it because I liked it.

I was watching it to study for my revenge.

‘He definitely said it was fine to tackle labyrinths, right?’

Internet worked through mobile phone data, but the speed was slow.

Besides, just using the mobile phone continuously was boring too.

‘Nothing beats tackling labyrinths to endure this tedious cabin life.’

I could kill monsters inside and satisfy my murderous urges too.

‘As he said, there’s a sinkhole nearby.’

I planned to enter right after finishing my meal.

Since it was a sinkhole in a remote mountain area, there were no safety personnel either.

[The wrong part is this door handle here, you can clear it this way.]

‘Stupid bastard. Openly revealing the Record Layer strategy?’

Reading the ViewTube subtitles, I memorized the Floor 30 strategy over and over.

All for revenge.

‘I’ll break your record, Amon.’

‘The channel is growing well.’

After posting the general announcement, the video views had risen exponentially.

Where else would there be a chance to watch Amon’s strategies in video form?

‘Now I need to start tackling Floor 79.’

I’d rested enough, so it was time to get back to work.

But I couldn’t enter right away.

I needed preparations.

‘Floor 79 is a Hidden Piece floor. To clear it, I need a specific Transcendent Spirit’s skill.’

It was a skill I currently didn’t have.

Therefore, I had to write an announcement post on the Korean Forum.

To meet that Transcendent Spirit’s Apostle.
