Chapter 247

247. Reward Increase (5)

Grootin Lasnil.

“...a madman.”

The young man with blue hair who introduced himself as the Empire’s 67th Sword Master frowned.

“It makes me wonder what dimension a challenger can be so rude.”

Then he glanced at me with a glimmer of life, and then he sneered at me.

It’s like I finally know who I am.

It was time to stare at him for a while, feeling interested in him.

Grootin Rasnil opened his mouth and continued speaking confidently.

“Looking at the sword, it looks like a challenger belonging to the Moorim dimension...”

However, none of his guesses were correct.

“Are you a soldier sent from the five generations or a place like the old file room? You want to share the interest in the common area on the 21st floor?”

It’s the five generations, the old file room...

It’s the same with suddenly saying the name of the group on the side of the Moorim dimension.

It was absurd to know that I had caused a massacre here as a dispute over interests.

And that wasn’t all.

At least 100 knights were dead, but Grutin Rasnil didn’t have much to worry about.

As if the people here were just as good.

‘Are the challengers in the same group considered consumables...’

Even the killing spree that were scattering on me at the moment was close to displeasure.

It didn’t feel like camaraderie at all.

Actually...

“If that’s the case, challengers belonging to the Moorim dimension are allowed to enter and leave the common area on the 21st floor.”

Grutin Rasnil ran his hand through his blue hair with his left hand and said so.

“It seems that you have reached the level of a sword master, so if you accept the conditions and leave this place, I will not hold you accountable.”

It was fun.

To share this right on a topic that had been thoroughly exploited against the weak so far...

Justice was not very strong in his convictions for what he had been talking about.

Of course, I can understand why it behaves the way it does.

‘It must be that he doesn’t want to deal with later work.’

Perhaps, considering the aftermath of a fierce battle with a challenger belonging to Moorim, he did not want to prolong the fight.

But...

unlike his thoughts that don’t fit anything, I don’t have a back stomach.

And he didn’t belong to any disparate group, and he wasn’t too angry that he monopolized the 21st floor common area.

“I’m not interested in such trivial things.”

I’m just trying to get rid of the aftereffects because they touched me.

“What is that...”

And watching Grutin Rasnil frown, I immediately activated my authority.

「The authority ‘Shunbo’ is activated.」

「A cooldown is applied to the power for 10 minutes.」

「Consumes holy power to instantly move to a desired point within sight.」

Poof-!

In the blink of an eye, I appeared in front of my opponent in a sword-swinging stance.

Shunbo is an authority that moves through space so quickly that movement cannot be recognized unless the harbinger is read.

In fact, it’s the best ambush ability that doesn’t give the opponent a chance to do anything.

That’s why I thought that Grutin Rasnil’s head would fly off in an instant...

Kagagak-!

Still, do you have enough skills to introduce yourself as a sword master?

I swung the sword with the intention of slashing the opponent’s throat at once...

Grutin Rasnil’s splendid longsword was covered with dew-like sword steel, blocking the sword strike.

It’s also very neat.

“this...! A lowly thing that can’t even be eaten! How dare you disobey the will of the Empire...!”

In response, Grutin Rasnil spat out a voice full of rage, followed by a shout.

It’s like he didn’t know that he would come out this strong.

But instead of being frightened by him, I gave my sword more strength.

And...

blatantly-.

Grutin Rasnil’s splendid longsword formed an incontinence in the sword steel.

It was worth it.

Even if they are the same sword steel, this one has the upper hand in terms of skill, and in addition, I am wearing various buffs on the broken cloth.

Therefore, it was only natural that the other side would be at a disadvantage.

“Such a savage...! kuh! The Empire will not forget this...!”

Moon moon moon...!

Is the power transmitted as swords collide with one another that is difficult to withstand?

Now, the hand holding the sword was shaking without being able to properly channel or receive the power.

Now that I look at it, it seems that I am being pushed not only by sword mastery, but also by physical ability.

I gave strength to the sword and bent it as if crushing him, then looked down with cold eyes and said.

“doesn’t care.”

and.

“I have no intention of avoiding a fight anyway.”

next moment.

「Skill ‘Decelerate target target’ is strongly activated.」

「Challenger ‘Glutin Rasnil”s all speeds are reduced by 40% for 4 minutes.」

Activate the skill to slow Goutin Rasnil’s movement and push him. hit

Tung-!

....

....

Skill Mastery Up Potion.

‘There are surprisingly many things that can be saved...?’

There were many things within the common area that collapsed than expected.

But when you think about it, there was nothing strange about it.

In the first place, the common area is also a place used to trade items.

However, although there were many things that could be retrieved, it was difficult to find high-quality items.

“....”

Is it because the bloody seeker was loaded with an unquenchable mortal flame?

Previously, items that were presumed to have been high-level equipment were all in a broken state.

At least the items in a corner warehouse-like place are fine.

After a few minutes of searching, I finally realized that there was nothing more to be gained.

“Even though I gained a lot, it’s a pity.”

At that, I licked my lips and absorbed all the blood spilled on the street with the Blood Heaven Demon Sword.

「The True Blood Demon Sword (A)’s exclusive effect, ‘Blood Eating’, is activated.」 「

Absorbs a large amount of blood and the item’s grade grows to S-class (9974/15000).」

That’s right. The Blood Heaven Demon Sword has just risen to S-class level...

‘The Blood Heaven Demon Sword will grow again soon.’

As if his growth had accelerated, he sucked in blood and grew incredibly fast.

Presumably, if it becomes an S-class item, a new soul ego skill will be created in the Blood Demon Sword.

Thinking of that brought a smile to my lips.

I was looking forward to what the newly created Soul Ego skill would be.

I smiled at him and soon absorbed all the spirits on the street and converted them into abilities.

「Permanently increase stats by using all possessed spirits.」

「Muscle strength increased by 5」

「Agility increased by 3」

「Stamina increased by 7」

「Magic power increased by 7」

「Durability increased It has risen by 4.”

The rate of increase in stats itself was not that high.

It was worth it.

The knights in the common area on the 21st floor weren’t strong enough to have a meaningful impact on me.

The ability value substitution efficiency is lowered.

「The skill ‘False Laughter (D-)’ is created.」

「The skill ‘Dagger Throw (F+)’ is created....」

「The skill ‘Continuous Attack (E+)’ is created...’

Even the skill The skills obtained through absorption were also lackluster.

‘I don’t think I can use it even with skill synthesis, so I’ll have to change it into divine power.’

In response, I immediately used all the skill learning books to acquire skills and activated the seal of offering.

「The seal of offering (SS-) exclusive effect, ‘Offering (供養)’ is activated.」

「Received a total of 31 skills from yourself.」

「Replaces the corresponding abilities into divine power and accumulates them in the heart.」

Most of the skills were not usable even with skill synthesis anyway, so there was no regret.

「The skill ‘Steel Feed’ is activated.」

Then, all useless items were changed to Steel Feed...

「Completely absorbed.」

「By absorbing steel, the constitution is improved.

」 Releases 4.9% of (濁气)」

「Muscle strength increases by 1」

「Agility increases by 1」「Stamina increases by 1」

「Durability increases by 1」

「

Magic power increases by 1 .”

All abilities have grown, albeit in small ways.

“The ability level growth efficiency has gone down a lot.”

Steel eating also grew and the rate of increase in stats rose, but this is what it looks like.

Once again, I felt that I had become really strong.

It was all the more so because recently there had been no fierce battles that could be called fierce battles.

In the previous battle with the usurper on the 18th floor, I felt that we were risking our lives to some extent

...

‘...If you want to speed up your growth, you won’t be able to stay like this.’

I thought about it with my eyes closed.

If you want to become strong enough to become a real god, you can’t grow like this.

It means that you have to fight in a place where the risk is so great that a single mistake can cost you your life.

And the place that could be was right nearby.

“Is it time to climb the tower?”

The time has come to challenge the individual trials on the 21st floor.

So far, I have completely cleared countless trials without failure.

Even if he almost lost his life, his ordeal success rating was higher than anyone else’s.

This is objective information that can also be known through the settlement rankings in the Tower of Trials.

Because of that, the difficulty level of the trials must have become much more difficult than other challengers.

So I couldn’t help but wonder.

「You have entered the waiting room on the 21st floor.」

How strong will the enemy appear in the personal ordeal you have been going through for a long time?
