Dimensional Cradle Challenge A situation in which the task has been completed perfectly.
If I had to argue, it would be the right situation for everyone to be happy about this.
But nonetheless, none of the challengers from Earth standing here laughed or rejoiced.
“…”
It was just like that.
It was because I had personally seen how this side destroyed that imperial palace in a short period of less than ten minutes.
It’s as simple as a joke.
It wasn’t particularly difficult because it was only dealing with mortals, not ancient deities or high-level deities, but the emotions I felt on the other side were very clear.
I caught the emotion I felt implicitly and smiled.
‘I think I’ve got a little bit of a sense of what level I’ve reached.’
It was the most primal feeling of fear that the weak have in front of the strong.
‘Really…’
It was absurd.
In fact, I’m the strongest on the planet, but I’m going to have a good time with a subject that I’ve been able to find out that I’m going to have a good time.
Isn’t it the reaction that I didn’t know that this side would be this strong.
Suddenly, the eyes of the challengers from Earth were filled with awe, and a kind of faith-like emotion flowed out.
“So…”
And then.
“This should have been enough for the proof I had to do.”
It was no different for Michael standing in front of him.
“Do you still think I have more to prove?”
“That…”
“You can just say it comfortably.”
“It’s not like that…”
It’s just that Michael’s feelings were more like pure fear than awe or worship.
“If that’s the case, I’m glad.”
I parted my lips with a twisted smile.
“If I said that my proof was not enough, I think I would have known how good you were.”
Hearing this, Michael stunned and shook his chin, then spoke quietly.
“…I’m sorry. So far, it seems that I have caused a lot of disrespect to challenger Sungyoon Han. I will take responsibility for this and step down from the position of leader—”
Perhaps, feeling the burden of provoking this side, he seems to be ready to step back now…
“Are we going to end it with that?”
I’m sorry.
So far, you’ve been spouting openly demeaning remarks, and now you’re afraid to throw yourself out?
If I hadn’t known that the black man in front of me was a challenger from Earth, I would have torn him to death long ago.
“It seems too cheap for the price of proving your strength as you wished.”
“…Kuk. If so, how can I be satisfied?”
“It’s simple.”
“…”
That means one thing.
“compensation.”
“…yes?”
“I said I wanted to be compensated.”
Just like that, I held out my empty hand to Michael and smiled greedily.
“With everything you have.”
Bondi damage compensation is a law that must be received and passed on.
***
Looking at the numerous items piled up in front of my eyes, I put a smile on my face.
‘okay. This should be a decent reward. Not to mention cancer.’
It was worth it.
It was because he had finished checking the performance of the items donated (?) from Michael under the name of compensation for damage before he knew it.
And at the end, I was able to find out that Michael had donated high-grade equipment that could not be ignored one by one.
‘The lowest grade is only items that start with B grade, so it will be highly efficient no matter where you use it.’
Satisfied.
Whether those equipments are used directly or converted into divine power through the seal of offering, they will show quite high efficiency.
If so, isn’t it worth being satisfied with?
And…
‘Actually, there’s no real reward.’
That’s not the end.
「Skill proficiency increase potion」
「Grade: B+」
「Special potion specially prepared by the tower for beings with skills.」
「When taken, one of the possessed skills can be arbitrarily increased by 30%.」
Virtually real The gain should be this way.
‘If I combine the skill proficiency potion I obtained, I can increase the proficiency of any one skill by 60%.’
It was worth it.
The skill proficiency increase potion that can be obtained from the Tower of Trials has the same value as a thousand gold for a challenger.
No matter what skill it is, being able to raise the proficiency at a fixed value is still attractive even after becoming an ancient deity.
‘It’s a huge benefit to get another skill proficiency potion.’
He took great delight in the unexpected gain.
And that’s not all.
There are still rewards left.
「Random Item Box」
「Grade: B+」
「A special box where you can randomly draw an item.」
「When you open the box, you get at least one item from D+ class to A+ class at random.」
Not so great Not a worthy item.
This ‘random item box (B+)’ in front of you literally depends on the element of ‘luck’ to obtain an item.
But…
it’s just not worth calling it great under the premise that you can’t control ‘luck’ to the end.
This also changes according to controlled ‘luck’.
「The authority ‘Blessing of the Hero’ is strongly activated.」
「Fortune temporarily and intensely increases.」
Right away…
「Divine < Luck > satisfies the conditions and is automatically used.」
「Divine < Luck > Luck is added to some of these situations to adjust them in a beneficial direction.」
「Divine < Luck > greatly enhances challenger Han Seong-yoon’s all luck-related abilities.」
Just like now.
Pababang-!
「Congratulations!」
「You have selected items that correspond to the highest grade of the random item box!」
The moment you use the ‘Random Item Box (B+)’.
As it was, a splendid effect exploded and the highest grade item was obtained.
Seeing that, I casually checked two A+ grade items that looked like a sword and a shield.
‘…Well, apart from the fact that A+ grade items came out, it’s not particularly usable.’
and.
「The seal of offering (SS-) exclusive effect, ‘Offering(供養)’ is activated.」
「Received 11 items from yourself.」
「Replaces the corresponding items with divine power and accumulates them in the heart.
」 I dedicated the useless equipment, including the two A+ items I just obtained, to divine power all at once.
‘Besides that, everything else is a one-time item like an elixir, so I’ll just have to eat it.’
I finished disposing of most of the numerous items before I knew it.
Only then did I consume the ‘Skill Proficiency Up Potion (B+)’ in my hand.
Then, familiar system messages appeared in front of me, and a list of skills appeared.
“I took a skill proficiency up potion (B+).”
“Select a skill to increase your proficiency.”
I was worried.
A state in which most of my skills have reached a high level.
Because of that, it was certain that they would show tremendous growth if they could apply two ‘Skill Proficiency Up Potions (B+)’.
‘I don’t really want to invest in offensive skills or auxiliary skills.’
In response, I thought while sitting on a rock and touching my chin.
However, unlike last time, there was a need to balance between skills now.
Rather than just investing everything you have in pure attack skills, it would be better to have some defensive abilities as well.
‘Then is the answer decided?’
next moment.
「Selection complete.」
「Challenger Han Seong-yoon’s skill, ‘Shock Block (S+)’ skill proficiency increases by 60%.」
Raised the skill proficiency of ‘Shock Block’, the most versatile skill among the defense system skills that this side possesses.
「The proficiency of the skill ‘Shock Protection (S+)’ has reached 100%.」
「The level of the skill ‘Shock Protection (S+)’ has gone up by one level.
」
Now, the level of the skill ‘Shock Block’ has reached SS-level.
Considering that the skill ‘Shock Block’ can be activated even with divinity-related abilities, this was one of the most useful abilities in the defense system.
Considering that it blocked 30% of all types of shock even when the level of the skill ‘Shock Block’ was A-, it was certain that more defense would be possible now.
Satisfied with that, I raised my head after finishing organizing the compensation.
“…”
The challengers from Earth, who had been scattered all over the dark world, gathered in one place.
Originally, the 10 people who entered the advance party in the dimensional cradle and only me were here, but not anymore.
While we were sorting out the rewards this side had obtained, people with space abilities gathered challengers from Earth from all over the world.
All the challengers from Earth had arrived here, including Lee Ha-yeon and others.
“It looks like everyone who needs to come has arrived, so let’s move on.”
Only then did I move on, standing in front of the gray portal that allowed me to move on to the next stage.
“Let’s move on to the next stage.”
Now was the moment to focus on clearing the full-fledged dimensional cradle.
***
「You have entered the Dimensional Cradle < The Temple of Sealing [E-02] >」
「A challenge for the Dimensional Cradle < The Temple of Sealing [E-02] > has occurred.」
「Challenge Description: Dimensional Cradle < Activate the tombstones in the Temple of Seal [E-02] > correctly to defeat the ancient monster that will appear in 3 minutes.” 「Characteristics of
Challenge: Monument in the single-dimensional cradle < Temple of Seal [E-02] > If you don’t activate them properly, the ancient monster becomes stronger.」
「Challenge Success Condition: Defeat the Ancient Monster (0/1)」
「Challenge Success Reward: All stats +10 Random Skill Book (B+) ) · Dimensional Travel Stone (A+)”
In an instant, I crossed the gray portal and arrived at the place beyond it.
“…”
It looks like a huge temple that seals a certain evil being.
‘Did you say it was an ancient monster?’
Looking at the blood sprinkled everywhere, the seven tombstones inserted in the center of the temple, or the sphere of bloody muscle above it, I could roughly guess it.
‘It’s about fighting an ancient monster that appears after a certain amount of time.’
Probably like a puzzle game, you have to place the tombstones correctly to weaken the ancient monster that will appear in 3 minutes…
“Ugh. It’s disgusting. Could it be that an ancient monster appears from there?”
“hmm. Probably. … However, there is some time before fighting the ancient monster.”
“It’s obvious. Before the ancient monster appears, you must weaken it by matching the tombstones like a puzzle. Surely.”
You don’t have to.
Isn’t this the villain in the cartoon who has to wait for the opponent’s transformation time?
If so, getting rid of them before transformation without wasting time is also one correct answer.
“Then let’s get the tombstones in the correct arrangement…”
I interrupted him by approaching the bloody muscle sphere above the center of the temple.
“—No. You don’t have to. Everyone, get away from me for a while.”
and.
“That should be enough.”
next moment.
“At least to beat the challenges of this stage.”
As it was, I firmly clenched my right hand and then unleashed a strike with nearly full strength.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa———!
In the blink of an eye, the sound of ripping air rang out.
However, the shotgun fired by this side reached the bloody muscle sphere faster than the sound.
…And as a result of that, the sphere made of bloody muscles was completely smashed.
Beep-!
That too perfectly.
「…」
「Dimension Cradle < The Temple of Seal [E-02] > challenge cleared.」 「
※ As a reward for completing the challenge, all stats increased by +10.」
「※ As a reward for completing the challenge A ‘Random Skill Book (B+)’ will be sent to your inventory.」
「※ As a reward for completing the challenge, a ‘Dimensional Travel Stone (A+)’ will be sent to your inventory.」
「Go to the next stage.
」 After roughly wiping off some of the splattered blood, he turned his head and said.
“If you do this without waiting, you can finish the challenge right away.”
By the way…
is everyone unfamiliar with this ‘very efficient strategy’ like I showed you?
All of a sudden, the faces of the challengers from Earth changed to look like most of them were stunned.
“Then let’s go now. To the next stage. That way it won’t be a waste of time.”
“…….”
As if he had never seen such a nonsensical thing in his life.
