Chapter 132
To the 80th Floor

[Skill Information]
-「Gigantification」
– Grade: B
– Effect: For [180] seconds, caster’s size increases by [1,000]% and attack power increases by [10]%
– Special: Can be applied to caster and summons
—-
A skill that increases size by about ten times for roughly 3 minutes.
“That’s fortunate.”
Since Kim Jun had absolutely no intention of growing disgustingly large.
It was fortunate that it could be applied to summons.
He wasn’t Ant-Man after all.
When size increases, naturally the attack radius becomes much larger too.
It seemed like it would suit Andras well.
Since he also had the 「Unity of Self and Object」 skill.
The size of 「Mountain of Corpses, Sea of Blood」 would increase proportionally too.
A sword with tremendous attack range.
It was perfect for Andras.
As for 「Earthquake Wave」.
Since it was a skill Kim Jun had obtained before his regression too.
He knew how to use it well.
By stomping his foot.
It generates earthquake waves within a 10m radius to stun enemies.
Of course, the range continues to expand as much as stats are invested.
However, what’s disappointing about this skill is.
“It didn’t work on bosses.”
It only applies to mobs.
So it’s a waste to use precious skill points on such a skill.
…If Andras in 「Gigantification」 state.
Generated 「Earthquake Wave」.
Would it be a little different?
He was curious about the synergy when combining the two skills.
The two skills obtained from defeating Baal.
They seemed to be a set after all.
“These two skills are yours.”
“They’re mine even without master’s permission!”
“Crazy bastard.”
*
66th Floor.
It was an ordinary field floor.
There were just monsters scattered across a massive rocky area.
The clear condition was simple too.
Just eliminate all field mobs and proceed to the next floor.
The problem was the number of mobs.
“Why are there so many!?”
“It’s 100 million, so of course there are.”
Devilets the size of rat pups.
Those Hell mobs that swarm around like packs of dogs.
There were about 100 million of them.
But fortunately, there was a good skill available.
The two skills obtained from defeating Baal.
「Gigantification」 and 「Earthquake Wave」.
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say these were skills given specifically to be used on this Staircase.
“I’m transforming!”
“Stop with the dialogue and just do it.”
Kuuuuuuuung-!!
A massive beam of light envelops Andras.
The body of that giant demon, which had approached 6 meters after his second awakening.
Ddddddd-
Grows larger.
Keeps growing larger.
His arms stretch out.
His legs stretch out.
His head reaches toward the sky.
40 meters.
50 meters.
60 meters.
A gigantic size that could pick up boulders with one hand.
However.
“Ugh, please change your clothes.”
Kim Jun turned his eyes away.
Andras wearing only rags.
When he was normal size, it was awkward but tolerable.
But now that he was giant, it was a problem.
Every time he moved.
Every time he walked.
Occasionally.
Dangle-
“Ugh, my eyes.”
“This is the veteran look! Kihihihihihi!”
The giant demon chuckled with glee.
Having completed his transformation, Andras.
Takes his stance holding the massive 「Corpse Mountain Blood Sea」.
Squeak!
Squeak squeak!
The Devilets cause a commotion.
At the appearance of this strange being.
The rat-sized demons swarm and move about.
They cry out.
It’s a warning sound.
Sssssss…
Andras lifts one foot.
His massive leg rises into the air.
The Devilets look up in horror.
Something enormous and shadowy.
Is descending upon them.
Shuuuuuk-
His leg touches the ground.
Kuuuuuuuung-!!!
An earthquake erupts.
But it would be embarrassing to even call it an earthquake.
A radius of over 100 meters.
No, the entire Staircase shakes.
The entire earth convulses and cracks in a spider web pattern.
And.
Devillets.
Most of the approximately 100 million.
Get swept away by those seismic waves.
They don’t faint.
They die cleanly without pain.
A kind of mercy, perhaps.
“You rat bastards… no, you rats! All of you get trampled to death!”
Without being able to offer any resistance.
Tens of millions vanish in an instant.
Paaaaak-!!
But the number 100 million.
Millions, no, tens of millions still remain.
The surviving Devillets swarm and move.
They rush collectively toward the giant Andras.
To tear at the flesh of the giant demon.
However.
“You rat bastards!”
Andras moves again.
He lifts his left foot.
Shuuuuk-
He steps down on the earth.
Kuuuuuuung-!!!
An earthquake erupts.
The Devillets within range burst from those waves.
Paaaaak-!!
This time the rats scattered far away.
Andras lifts 「Sisan Blood Sea」.
Sssssss-
The first slash.
Chwaak-!
A boulder-sized sword energy radiates out.
The Devillets that were fleeing far away get sliced apart.
Squeak!
Sizzle!
Andras lifts his right foot.
Shuuuuk-
He steps down on the earth.
Kuuuuuuung-!!!
Another earthquake erupts.
Millions vanish at once.
Paaaaak-!!
Simultaneously with the 「Seismic Wave」.
Chak, chwajajajaak-!
He continuously releases X-shaped sword energy.
Blood-colored sword energy cuts through all directions.
Devillets are defeated. Shattered. Burst.
And repeat.
Left foot.
Shuuuuk-
Kuuuuuuung-!!!
Paaaaak-!!
Right foot.
Swooosh-
Kuuuuuuung-!!!
Paaaaak-!!
One step. One step.
Each time he steps down.
Millions vanish simultaneously.
At the same time, toward those fleeing in the distance.
Swish, swishswishswish-!
He unleashes 「Corpse Mountain Blood Sea」 once again.
As if he’s gained some know-how.
Hiss-
“?”
Andras looked at Kim Jun and grinned wickedly.
Left foot. Right foot. Left foot. Right foot. Left foot. Right foot. Left foot. Right foot…!
Kuuuuuuung-!!!
Kuuuuuuung-!!!
Kuuuuuuung-!!!
Paaaaak-!
Paaaaak-!
Paaaaak-!!!
“Kihahahahahah! Fun! Fun!! Get trampled to death! Every single one!”
Andras is going mad.
Like trampling laundry, he rampages across the 66th Floor.
Thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud!!
Each step triggers an earthquake.
With every step forward.
With every swing.
Keeping rhythm.
Thud thud slash-
Thud thud slash-
Along with that rhythm, millions vanish.
The surroundings are devastated by earthquakes.
The distant ones are pursued by sword energy.
The giant demon’s stride.
That itself was nothing but massacre.
One creature.
A hundred thousand creatures.
A million creatures.
Ten million creatures.
Tens of millions of creatures.
In one hour, no, less time than that.
All 100 million Devilets disappeared.
This place that had been filled with squeaking sounds.
Finally became quiet.
All that remained was the giant Andras catching his breath.
“Are there no more!?!?!”
“Ugh, my ears hurt.”
As he had grown gigantic in size, just Andras speaking made my ears ring.
Moreover, whether he had activated the 「Earthquake Wave」 skill.
Or just caused it with pure body mass.
“I used skills too!”
“Really?”
…Well, I suppose.
It was different from ordinary vibrations.
It was mana bursting forth.
As time passed.
Andras’s body gradually began to shrink.
The time for 「Gigantification」 is coming to an end.
Kuuuuung-
A massive light envelops his body.
From 60 meters to 6 meters.
He returns to his original giant demon form.
But his eyes were still excited.
“Tsk. That was fun.”
“You can keep using it. We’re going to keep conquering anyway.”
“That’s right!”
Of course, skills like 「Gigantification」 that greatly enhance physical abilities.
They all come with backlash without exception.
Like 「Berserker」, 「Yeonje」, or 「Eum Emperor」.
“Then let’s go right away! I want to stomp on them again!!”
“Doesn’t it hurt?”
But if you can endure it.
If you can withstand the crushing sensation that floods your nerves.
“I love pain! Master, aren’t you from the same department as me!? You know it too! The thrill that pain gives!!”
“Am I you?”
“Master is also a demon!!”
You can use it indefinitely.
As long as you don’t run out of mana.
*
There’s nothing more to experiment with-
“Kill them all.”
Kim Jun was turning Hell into a wasteland.
To be precise, Kim Jun and his four summons.
Azure Dragon Nyong Nyong.
Golden Dragon Yongyong.
Demon Andras.
Demon Belphegor.
A difficulty that would normally take over a week.
He pushed through it all at once.
[67th Floor conquered…]
As soon as the notification dropped.
[68th Floor conquered…]
To the next floor.
[69th Floor con…]
And to the next.
He headed to the next floor before the notification announcing the Staircase clear even appeared.
On the 70th Floor, there was a boss that looked quite strong.
The ‘Infernal Dark Knight’ that was troublesome before his regression.
It had a bit of a Dark Soul vibe to it?
The orthodox method was to use skills obtained from the Dark Soul Staircase.
Using 「Parrying」 and 「Vital Strike」.
But in his current state, well.
He was at a level where he didn’t need to consider such things.
So just.
───
A single line drawn straight.
It wasn’t even long.
Aimed precisely at its neck.
A very quiet line.
Kim Jun didn’t swing twice.
He swung exactly once.
With just that.
A boss that required several rounds of combat before his regression.
Kuwoong-!
He brought it down in a single strike.
*
—-
[Available Contract Slots: 3]
– Slot 1: [Andras] – Demon of Fire and Destruction
– Slot 2: [Belphegor] – Grand Demon of Sloth
– Slot 3: [Empty]
—-
Only one summoning slot remained for Diablo.
And he had already marked the one to fill it with.
There was no longer any reason to carefully hunt bosses.
As if understanding Kim Jun’s intention.
The summoned creatures also picked up their pace.
Andras seemed to have gotten a taste for it.
Thump thump thump thump!
“Kuhuhuhuhuh! Kihahahahahaha!!”
He continuously entered 「Gigantification」 and trampled demons underfoot.
Nyong Nyong and Yongyong.
Kwaaaaaa-!
Paaaaang-!
Poured down colorful breaths from the air, sweeping away demons in one go.
Whether this place was Hell.
Or whether Kim Jun and his summoned creatures.
Zzzejeojeojeok-!
Kwadeudeuk-!
Were turning this place into Hell.
It was impossible to tell.
The five with such sinister auras.
71st Floor, 72nd Floor, 73rd Floor.
74th Floor, 75th Floor…up to the 79th Floor.
They broke through in just one day.
“This is different from what I expected.”
Kim Jun had anticipated.
Between one to two weeks.
That’s about how long he expected it would take.
Just one day since incorporating Yong-yong.
In that single day, they had broken through nearly 20 floors in an instant.
“This is troublesome.”
[Party Play Experience Gained!]
[Party Play Experience Gained!]
[Party Play Experience Gained!]
.
.
.
Even now, experience notifications rang out incessantly.
Seeing that party shared experience kept dropping.
It meant someone was continuously hunting.
“It doesn’t seem like they’re attacking the next floor…are they tackling hidden bosses?”
There were several locations Kim Jun had mentioned.
“What should I do.”
Originally, he planned to attack only up to here.
Then go up and break through to the 40th Floor on the Surface.
“We came too fast.”
Just one day.
With such a rapid conquest speed.
The situation had become rather perplexing.
“Hmm…”
Kim Jun began to contemplate, furrowing his brow for a moment.
His companions would also be working hard in their own ways to become stronger anyway.
The situation with quite a lot of time remaining compared to what he had told them.
“Should I go down, or not.”
The next floor was.
Hell’s 80th Floor.
The last of the Seven Deadly Sins.
Satan, the Grand Demon of Wrath.
The place where that bastard resided.
Unlike the other floors of Hell he had passed through so far.
This was an opponent that required somewhat more preparation.
The enhancement levels of the equipment Kim Jun currently possessed were.
[「Dragon Eater」 +15]
[「Dragon Skin」 +13]
[「Dragon Claw」 +12]
What he had enhanced in the early stages of his conquest.
He had been using them continuously until now.
And they had been sufficient.
But now their limits were becoming visible.
Enhancement levels determined skill compatibility.
The higher the levels, the more complete the skills became.
The current grades of +15, +13, +12.
By other Hunters’ standards, these were phenomenal numbers.
They couldn’t even follow half of that level.
By now, wouldn’t the average appropriate enhancement level be around 5-6?
But by Kim Jun’s standards.
On the floors Kim Jun was currently conquering.
They were gradually becoming insufficient.
Higher numbers.
More complete skill compatibility.
The time had come when those were necessary.
Until now, he could push through everything with just the difference in pure capability alone.
But Satan was different.
The Grand Demon of Wrath.
The last of the Seven Deadly Sins.
One of the greatest bosses recognized throughout the entire Tower of Trials, both Surface and Underground.
To face that existence.
He could no longer be careless.
A certain resolve.
A certain determination.
This was an opponent that required such things.
Meeting him in a more enhanced state would be the wise choice, but.
“Should I go?”
Kim Jun decided to go down.
To the place where Satan dwelled.
To the 80th Floor, [Perdition].
“Wait, there’s something I forgot.”
“Our names…”
