Return of the Archmage

38. Level 8 Disaster

1.

17th floor.

Check as soon as you get up.

[Cleared the 16th floor]]

A victory note that I couldn't confirm because I was running away.

[Receives 16th floor effect applied.

Acquire Random Special Skills.]

[Special skill 'Invalidation' acquired]

[Time left: 183 hours, 11 minutes and 28 seconds]

"Huh?"

And it was a new kind of content that was totally unexpected.

Lee Hye-sung, who checked the hologram, tilted his head.

That's all the hologram is about.

Seeing that there is no phrase that says it does not apply inside the tower of trials, it seems that the effect applies inside the tower of trials.

It's not that embarrassing because it's a pattern that already came out as characteristic slots and run slots were opened from the 13th floor.

However, I was a little flustered by the emergence of special skills that I had never seen before, not runes or characteristic slots.

"Special skill?"

A thousand hearings are not worth one seeing.

I checked first.

[Invalidated]

▶ Grade: Special

▶ Contents: Void all harmful effects that are accessed by users.

▶ Effect: All harmful effects of Grade 3 or below shall be invalidated. In case of grade 4 or higher, invalidate it once. (Cool time: 600 seconds)

"Well."

The explanation was simple.

It was easy to understand.

If you don't read and understand this, you don't deserve to be a user.

In addition, they didn't even see it with their own eyes.

"I'm lucky, too."

It's invincible.

There is no reason to refuse.

Naturally, he nodded in admiration of his luck.

There was no fear of overcoming the near-death crisis just a few minutes ago in his satisfied smile.

***

The world is unfair.

Who's gonna make it?

No, 16th floor is only the first floor in terms of level one of the trials, so can you give me that fraud skill as a reward?

Void? Word void. Just call it invincible!

And people's whims are stronger than sea squirts.

Like Lee Hye-sung, those who cheered, praised, and admired Lee Hye-sung, who overcame the near-death crisis a few minutes ago, were nowhere to be found.

Now I'm just full of envy and envy for the users who received ridiculously good things as compensation!

Close the glass ceiling!

Are you telling me to follow you or not? If the users who go up first do everything this way, the users who follow will only bend their backs!

Of course I know.

But does that help Lee Hyesung? I always make S.H.I.E.L.D, which can't be pierced by magic anyway. Besides, there's no point in having Shield. He's avoiding all the invisible attacks.

You're right. Why do you need to nullify it?

I think it'd be nice when another attack like the one just now comes in. If you interpret it as it says, it means that you will nullify any attack.

No, I mean. What could be a threat to Lee Hyesung in the first place to avoid such attacks?

That alone won't change.

It's just an option for a sports car worth hundreds of millions of won.

If you put an expensive booster on a tico, it's all about tico, but if you put it on a sports car, it's just a part that helps you get a little faster.

It's good to have it and good to not have it's good to have.

It's just like that.

Sighs broke out here and there.

I tried to calm down with a sore stomach, but unfortunately it wasn't the end.

[Accomplishment: Clearing the 16th floor of the Trial]

[Acquired Achievement Score (5,000,000,000)]

[Achieved: You're a nonviolent?']

[Acquired Achievement Score of 1,000,000]

The hidden salt card that followed appeared.

***

Lee Hye-sung had to choose.

17th floor, whether to challenge or not.

If you think about it coldly, it's actually right to give up.

Assuming that there is an enemy with a level of difficulty that cannot be confronted like the 16th floor, the level of difficulty becomes a gamble that can never be strange no matter when you lose your life.

For users, it is right not to gamble on their own lives.

How can it be said that a user is a person who walks on all property but keeps his or her life well and never gets hungry for the rest of his or her life?

As such, user's life is precious.

Turning a crack safely even if pointed out as a coward or coward is a wise user's attitude and the secret to surviving the crack for a long time is to challenge only a crack that can be perfectly and safely tackled.

"All right."

Lee Hye-sung knows it better than anyone else.

He has been fighting against the continent for more than 10 years at the fantasy level, but he was a safetyist who cared about his life more than anyone else.

Always make a hole to escape.

Things don't always go the way you want them to.

Sometimes you have to do things you don't want to do, and sometimes you have to face unwanted bad relations.

Whenever that happens, I think about how to prepare for a rainy day rather than running away.

It was the same now.

"It's a very good system.”

Lee Hye-sung does not have to make a hole to escape.

The tower of trials gave the user the power to give up at any time.

But if you lose your life before you give up, that's a sad result.

And looking back at the 16th floor, there is no guarantee that there will be no boss monster strong enough to blow his head off even before he recognizes it on the 17th floor.

I would have given up.

If it wasn't for the 16th floor.

"Because I can endure it once. Whatever you do, you give up."

After enduring the nullification, I give up if I can't.

Lee Hye-sung, who made a very good escape, confirmed the 17th floor clear condition.

[Cleared 17th Floor: Survive for 12 hours.]

[Survival time: 11 hours, 59 minutes, 59 seconds]

[Time left: 183 hours, 8 minutes and 37 seconds]

It's been a long time since I've seen a familiar clear condition.

Oh! It's a great mission.

12 hours of rest time!

In the chat window, Lee Hye-sung's success has already been predicted, and heated discussions about whether such luck can continue to overlap.

Most of them were jealous and celebrating.

But everyone's interested in Hyesung, so it's possible because they're paying and watching the video.

However, Lee Hye-sung's expression was dark unlike them.

Unlike viewers, he remembers a mission in his head and evaluates it coolly.

He's comparing again.

First, the first survival mission faced on the lower floor was to destroy the gate and shorten the time.

In the second survival mission, he spent time hiding without destroying the gate.

The reason was simple.

Because the monsters became stronger and when they destroyed the gate, it seemed too much to handle.

This is the third survival mission.

On the 17th floor.

Not to mention an increase in difficulty.

In the survival mission we faced this time, we were worried.

"The damn crack buff. You can hide, can you?"

Considering the same as the 16th floor, the survival mission on the 17th floor should not be compared to the missions faced on the lower floor, or at the top level 1.

Something similar but oddly different would have been added.

It is a problem even if only a crack buff has been added.

"Quietly spend 12 hours.”

Inside a dark cave.

He walks into the corner curled up without making a sound of footsteps.

I'll spend my time like I'm dead.

Mana twinkles and forms a magic pearl.

It is a magical team drawn by the late Circle Wizard, who is rarely caught.

If it were that floor, I would have said confidently that I wouldn't be caught, but I still have a boss in my head who flew from a place where it was hard to even react on the 16th floor.

Of course, such a boss did not notice Lee Hye-sung's secret, but the 16th floor was their own world that was oblivious to the existence of Lee Hye-sung in the first place, and this is an artificial space.

"Whoops."

He stretches out his legs and looks around without even lying down.

I don't want to be this nervous, but I hope that only one will show up and confirm that it is safe.

Boom! Boom!

"……You don't have to confirm it so quickly."

Did my earnestness work?

A huge step is heard from the entrance of the cave.

A big bear coming in.

A bear cave even if it falls.

He doesn't even breathe and looks at the reaction.

The magic team can breathe, talk, or even take out food because complete isolation from the outside is basic.

Still, there is one reason for restraint.

"Coore?"

"…I'm sick of it."

After all, it's because it's a magic team.

The Mana Magic Circle is faint but leaves traces.

Lee Hye-sung's hideout magic team was created for camouflage purposes, so even the traces are hard to find unless it is a wizard of the same level as Lee Hye-sung, but that bear felt strange and stopped walking.

"Please tell me you stopped because you had to go to the bathroom.”

That way, did the monster on the 17th floor detect even a tiny change?

Maybe it's possible because this is a cave in Gomtang.

In the wild, there is nothing more important than keeping one's nest in a jungle world.

You should be sensitive to change.

Boom! Boom!

A powerful step nears.

There is always confidence that fighting will win.

The boss' presence at the end of the 16th floor was so powerful, and other monsters were well deserved.

Nevertheless, the reason why I am nervous is that if I start running away from the comfortable path, there is no end to the limit.

Gulp.

Swallow.

Three more steps to the place where the magic team is located.

If you feel strange and step on the magic team, you will have a surprise meeting with the bear.

Boom!

With a very short distance left, Gomtang turned his back and sat down.

I start digging with him.

“……?”

Food came out of the sold land.

From fruit to meat.

"Cooh!"

With a happy expression, the bear started eating.

I don't understand why food comes out of the ground, but Lee Hye-sung, who was not caught, breathed a sigh of relief.

"The 17th floor is waiting here."

Only then do you lie down with your legs outstretched.

Take a coke out of the subspace and drink it with ice while swallowing saliva.

It felt like an abbreviation, which was different from what it had been shown so far, but it was a different kind of fun.

The overwhelming thing is always lame.

As such, I have been waiting for the right monsters to appear.

Hard to that level, and acted to the framework of the system.

I can feel the worth of it.

Once again, he smiled coolly, recalling the boss on the 16th floor.

"I'll kill you the next time I see you."

Lee Hye-sung was long enough to lead to the earth at the level of fantasy.
