Skill Devouring to the 666th Floor Episode 064

64. Gift

‘I’m screwed.’

That was the only thought in Weihao’s head.

Amon hadn’t hesitated for even a moment, but he had wasted time panicking.

Because of that.

[Floor 30 Clear Time: 36 minutes 53 seconds]

[Failed to surpass the Hall of Fame record.]

【Labyrinth Underground 30th Floor】

【Conqueror: Amon】

【Clear Time: 11 minutes 12 seconds】

He couldn’t break Amon’s record.

‘Damn it. Who would’ve thought the trap patterns would be different for each person?’

Amon knew that when he made it public.

The strategy for Floor 30.

Since the record wouldn’t be broken even if he shared it anyway.

That didn’t mean Amon’s video wasn’t helpful though.

‘I was able to avoid traps because some patterns I knew appeared.’

He delayed time being cautious, but managed to pass through without getting caught.

If he hadn’t watched the video, wouldn’t it have taken about 5 hours to clear?

‘But how did that bastard know the patterns would change?’

Was he living his second life or something?

Or did he see the future?

He finished conquering Floor 30 with these questions and returned to Earth.

Though it was still the prison-like forest.

‘Damn it. Do I have to go back to that fucking cabin again?’

If he wanted to kill, he killed; if he wanted to steal, he stole.

Weihao had lived freely until now.

Even Public Security couldn’t stop him.

But.

‘To be tied down in a place like this.’

Now he was like a beast trapped in a cage.

Of course, escape was possible if he put his mind to it.

He could go out to the city center and live like before.

The problem was…

‘If I do that, the Death God inside my body will kill me.’

Death wasn’t frightening.

He was only afraid of the Death God taking him to the Bottomless Pit.

‘Fuck, do I have to live tied to the mountain like a dog for the rest of my life? Without even being able to satisfy my murderous urges as I please?’

He was relieving his urges by killing monsters in the Labyrinth, but it couldn’t compare to people.

Monsters were just speechless beasts, while humans were his own kind, weren’t they?

‘Nothing beats the thrill of killing your own kind… Hah.’

Recalling that electrifying pleasure of murder made his lower body feel heavy.

He got excited without realizing it.

Was that why?

He noticed too late that there were people at the cabin.

‘What? What are those things?’

It wasn’t just one or two people.

Six thugs were guarding the cabin.

Just from their looks, they weren’t ordinary guys.

‘Underworld?’

Those who knew the taste of murder like himself could be recognized at a glance.

“Hey, what the hell are you doing?”

One thug approached with a frown.

“What are you lurking around here for?”

Like a dog checking out another of its kind that invaded its territory.

‘What the hell is this situation?’

Then another thug spoke up.

“Isn’t that the bastard who broke into our hideout?”

“Hey. Did you pick the lock on that cabin?”

Now he understood the situation.

‘Amon, this fucking bastard… did he screw me over?’

The cabin he claimed was his and offered to me was actually a Triad hideout.

‘Fuck, no wonder it didn’t make sense.’

How could Amon, a Korean, possibly have a cabin in the Chinese mountains?

‘Amon, that bastard is pulling all kinds of shit to get me involved with the Triad.’

It was so absurd I had to laugh.

Then.

“What the hell? Look at this bastard? He’s laughing?”

“Has this fucking bastard lost his mind?”

The thugs approached Weihao one by one.

He was outnumbered and outmatched in size, but Weihao wasn’t intimidated.

Instead, he smiled.

Because he had read Amon’s intention.

“Now I see, you sent me a gift?”

“What are you talking about, you bastard?”

“You knew I was sexually frustrated and connected me so I could take care of it myself.”

“Hey! Stop talking nonsense and just answer what we’re asking. Did you use this cabin?”

Weihao, who had been chuckling, lifted his head and answered.

“Yeah. I used it. I lived here like it was my home for a while.”

“Found him, this homeless bastard.”

“You’re coming with us.”

When one of the thugs grabbed his shoulder.

“Wait. Let me ask something too.”

Weihao grabbed that hand and continued speaking.

“Are you guys by any chance from the Triad?”

“What the hell are you asking?”

“When someone asks a question, you should answer.”

“Yeah, you fucking bastard. We’re Triad. So what?”

Just as expected.

The corners of Weihao’s mouth turned up.

“Then you must have done a lot of bad shit too? You’re far from innocent citizens, right?”

“What?”

“Does this bastard want to die?”

“Stop talking and just come with us.”

One of the thugs tried to drag him away, but.

“…!?”

Weihao didn’t budge an inch.

The Triad organization members were shocked by this sight.

“That bastard, don’t tell me…”

“An Apostle?”

They sensed something strange about his extraordinary strength, but it was already too late.

Crack!

“Aaaahhh!”

The arm of the thug who had grabbed his shoulder broke like a tree branch.

At the same time, Weihao grabbed his head.

Crunch!

Without hesitation, he twisted it 180 degrees.

A smile bloomed on Weihao’s face after committing murder.

“Keheheh, yeah, this is the feeling. This sensation when bones twist. I missed it.”

“You, you crazy bastard!”

“Kill him, fuck!”

The thugs each pulled out kitchen knives from their waists.

Not to be outdone, Weihao pulled out a machete from his Inventory.

“It’s been a while since prey came to me, I can’t just let you go nicely.”

“Attack!”

The organization members rushed forward simultaneously at the signal.

However.

“Huh!?”

“What?”

With one gesture from Weihao, their feet became bound.

All except one.

Slash!

Weihao sliced the neck of the one who was charging at him.

Stab! Stab!

Before the body could fall, he stabbed the blade in several more times.

Thud!

The decapitated corpse soaked the floor.

I stared at the carnage with wide eyes.

Step, step.

Weihao approached indifferently.

Stab!

He plunged a blade into the heart of one who was still standing.

“Gurgle.”

The thug collapsed, spewing blood.

The remaining three trembled in fear, but couldn’t escape.

An unknown invisible force was holding their entire bodies.

Slash! Slice!

“Aaaaah!”

“Aaaaah!”

He cut off their arms first.

Stab! Stab! Stab! Stab!

He stabbed blades all over their bodies, creating holes.

Bound by telekinesis, resistance was impossible.

It didn’t take long to kill the two thugs.

“Ahh…”

Now only one thug remained.

He wet himself in the desperate situation.

“I’ll spare you. Try running away.”

When Weihao snapped his fingers, the telekinesis was released.

As soon as his legs were free, the organization member ran away.

Weihao didn’t chase him even until he disappeared from sight.

He had let him go on purpose.

‘That way he’ll bring more organization members.’

Weihao, who had killed five by himself, showed an expression of great relief.

This was enough to satisfy the desires he had been suppressing.

Just then.

Buzz! Buzz!

The mobile phone in his pocket vibrated.

“What?”

Weihao’s expression hardened rapidly when he took it out.

The caller was none other than Amon.

When he answered the phone, he heard a voice he didn’t want to hear.

—Did you receive my gift well?

“So it really was you who sent them? Ha.”

I had my suspicions, but now that it was confirmed, it was absurd.

“Do you know how many people died because of you?”

—Why is that because of me? You’re the one who killed them.

“You sent them to me, didn’t you?”

—You’re the one who happily killed them, aren’t you?

‘Damn, he won’t give an inch.’

I swallowed the last words and kept them to myself.

I had confirmed last time that nothing good would come from provoking him.

But I was curious.

“Why did you connect me with the underworld? This cabin turned out to belong to the underworld too.”

—You can’t satisfy your urges by just hunting monsters forever, right?

“Is that really the reason?”

—Yeah. Think of it as a gift.

“You don’t have any other intentions?”

—What intentions?

He said that, but it was hard to believe.

Wasn’t this the same guy who had tested me while even disguising his appearance?

He had also lied about the cabin being his.

‘I can’t trust this bastard’s words.’

Still, there was one thing I wanted to confirm.

“Am I… okay?”

—What do you mean?

“I killed people.”

—As I said before, it’s fine as long as they weren’t innocent. The Death God didn’t react either, did he?

That was certainly true.

The Death God didn’t appear, probably judging they weren’t innocent.

He didn’t take their souls either.

But still, does that mean it’s okay to kill if they’re guilty?

‘This bastard is pretty damn insane too.’

Just as I let out a hollow laugh.

―It seems like you let one escape, is that okay? Organization members will come storming in soon.

Weihao’s laughter stopped.

“You… how do you know that?”

―Did you think I wouldn’t know?

Being watched?

Realizing this fact, Weihao quickly looked around.

‘There must be CCTV somewhere in the trees.’

If not, how else could he know the current situation?

‘I wondered why the call came at such perfect timing.’

So he’s been watching and enjoying the situation all along?

Anger flashed across Weihao’s face.

“Hey, I can go into the city center now, right? The cabin’s been discovered.”

―That won’t do. Did you forget our promise?

“Fuck, then what am I supposed to do! The triad members are about to attack!”

―Don’t make excuses. You let him escape on purpose, didn’t you? Because you wanted to use that as a reason to leave the cabin.

‘This bastard… how did he figure that out?’

Now I see he’s quite exceptional at reading people’s psychology too.

―Handle the situation you’re in yourself. But entering the city center is absolutely not allowed.

“If I go to the city center… will the Death God take my soul?”

―Not exactly. I only instructed him to take it when you kill innocent people. But since your face has been sold all over China, you’ll probably end up in prison, right?

Prison doesn’t scare me.

Isn’t this place a prison too?

―I know that too. That you’re not afraid of prison. But in prison, you won’t be able to satisfy your murderous urges like you do now. You won’t be able to get stronger by conquering the Labyrinth either.

“…”

―Just staying stuck in the forest would be beneficial for you. This is all for your own good.

‘Bullshit.’

The curse came out naturally, but Weihao couldn’t argue back.

There was nothing wrong with what he said.

―Anyway, it’s a situation you created, so handle it yourself.

I hung up the phone.

Watching through Parasite, I could see Weihao bursting with frustration.

‘Handle it yourself. Could there be any words more irresponsible than that?’

I admit it.

That I lured him to the triad hideout and entangled the two of them.

I created the situation, but what happens after isn’t my concern.

‘Even if they both die fighting each other, it doesn’t matter to me.’

Of course, if Weihao dies, I’d be in trouble too.

I wouldn’t be able to use the Grip of the Dead skill.

‘Still, I can use this incident as an excuse to extort more from the Three Gods.’

I requested a conversation with the Three Gods.

The method is simple.

Just shout into the air.

“You’re watching right now, aren’t you? I have something to discuss, so please open the room.”

If I do this, the Three Gods who monitor my every move will hear and open the Eternal Room.

Look at that.

[You can temporarily use the ‘Eternal Room’ through the Divine Authority of Orcus, God of the Underworld.]

[Would you like to enter the Eternal Room? Y/N]

Didn’t the message appear?

Upon entering the room, I was able to face the Three Gods.

“You were watching everything, weren’t you? I can tell since you opened it right away.”

[What are you doing right now? Did you put my Apostle in danger?]

Orcus immediately started questioning me.

I guess he’s saying this after seeing his Apostle Weihao fight the triad.

Well, it was closer to a one-sided massacre though.

“Put him in danger? There was no such situation at all. Rather, it was a situation Weihao would enjoy.”

[Either way, you induced that situation. By making him stay at the triad hideout!]

“I didn’t know back then either. That it was a hideout.”

[But you remember now?]

“Yes.”

[Ha, how utterly shameless!]

I feigned ignorance and changed the subject.

“More importantly, there’s another problem.”

[What problem are you talking about?]

“It’s about Harmonion’s Apostle.”

[My Apostle?]

Harmonion spoke with surprised eyes as his Apostle was suddenly mentioned out of nowhere.

[Who are you talking about? Are you referring to Park Se Hee?]

“No. Among your Apostles, there’s someone called Wang Ho Wei, right?”

Harmonion nodded.

[There is. He’s the Apostle I chose after Park Se Hee.]

“That guy is going to meet Liu Weihao.”

[What do you mean? The two of them are going to meet?]

“They won’t just meet—they’ll fight bloody battles. Wang Ho Wei is none other than the second-in-command of the Underworld.”

[Wait a minute. So you’re saying… the organization targeting Liu Weihao is the organization Wang Ho Wei belongs to?]

“Exactly. So here’s what I’m saying…”

I made a proposal.

The same proposal I had made to Orcus.

“Harmonion. I need your Terra.”
