– By absorbing nutrients, HP increases by 2.

Just in case, it was possible to really use the power of gluttony.
Teeth chewing on fragments of crystals and rocks with a clattering, clattering sound.
I wondered what to do if my teeth were broken, but they soon swallowed the fragments into even smaller pieces.
A strength like that would be able to chew and swallow dragon scales.
Sewoon and Yoo Seoah watched the scene with blank eyes.
“… … Can’t we just attack the monsters with that power?”
“Unfortunately, that’s a power that can only be used on monsters I’ve defeated.”
-The constellation ‘The Hungry Prince’ rolls his tongue and savors the sweet crystal pieces to his heart’s content.
-The constellation ‘The Hungry Prince’ muttered loudly, saying that these fragments are fun to chew on.
While Beelzebub was tasting them, Sewoon paid attention to the names displayed on the power.
‘Crystal creature… … .’
Even Se-Woon, who had dealt with and investigated hundreds of thousands of monsters before returning, it was the first monster he had heard of.
But from the name, it was easy to guess why.
creature.
It’s a word that means living things or life forms, but it was also a name mainly used for artificially created monsters.
In other words, as expected, this was an artificially created place.
The monsters must also be artificially created to protect this place.
Thinking so, I continued on my way, and soon after, they appeared again.
About ten this time.
As befits the gradually widening aisle, the size was also larger than the ones I first encountered.
However, the enemy whose strategy had already been revealed was no longer a threatening target.
-The third herb of Palgwajang, Powoljang (抱月掌) is strengthened through internal air.
clattering-
Every time Seun’s hand stretched out, the creature’s body collapsed in vain.
At first, I was not familiar with the distribution of inner energy and used it excessively, but now I was operating only the minimum content to reach the core.
Thanks to this, the power is not wasted, so they do not explode.
By the time Sewoon defeated the three creatures, Yoo Seo-ah, unlike the first battle, was also skillfully dealing with them.
-Player Yoo Seo-ah uses ‘Tarantula’s Third Leg’.
Kaka River!
At first, the sound of fierce resistance was heard, but like Yu Seo-ah’s black beast, he persistently aimed for the gap between the tails.
Then suddenly! With a sound, the creature’s tail was cut off.
It wasn’t an instant death, but as expected, when the tail was cut off, he had a brief seizure and slowly lost his strength.
Since the connection between the core and the body was severed, there was no way it would rise again.
“Has your movement improved a lot?”
“I think training on the 6th floor is very helpful!”
– Constellation, ‘crowned spider’ nods.
-Constellation, ‘The Crowned Spider’ murmurs that it seems like it could pull out the fourth leg now.
Starting with that, Yoo Seo-ah’s hunt also accelerated.
Like the first time, there was no longer a resistance sound like a rock bouncing, and each time the twin swords struck, their tails were cut off at once.
You have become completely accustomed to how to attack gaps.
Thanks to that, all ten creatures fell in an instant.
After that, several attacks followed, but the battle never lasted more than a minute.
Before I knew it, Yoo Seo-ah’s expression was full of confidence.
-The constellation ‘The Hungry Prince’ puts a ball full of crystal fragments into it and makes an ecstatic expression.
Did you kill a hundred creatures? Finally, the long, long single road came to an end, and the fork in the road appeared for the first time.
“Where should I go?”
“hmm… … .”
I tried to focus on my senses as I did in the 4th floor ordeal, ‘Passing the Cave’, but I didn’t feel any difference.
It was the same even when using the scan magic.
Not only the flow of wind, but also traces of mana. All of them were unusually identical.
“Shall we move first? If one side is blocked like on the 4th floor, you just have to come back.”
“OK.”
Sometimes there are crossroads without hints like here.
At that time, as Yu Seo-ah said, it was best to move and gather information.
– The constellation ‘Crow with Head Down’ tilts its head, saying that the purple color of the crystal looks familiar.
Had it been about 30 minutes?
This time, not a single creature appeared. Instead, a new crossroads appeared in front of the two.
No, could this be called a new fork in the road?
Starting with what was created, the flow of mana, the flow of air, and so on. Everything was the same as the crossroads I had seen for the first time.
“… … What should I do? Shall we go a little further?”
“No, let’s go back.”
“Already? I haven’t found out anything yet.”
“There is one thing I suspect.”
I’m not sure yet, so I can’t give you more details.
As expected, no monsters appeared on the way back, and I walked for another 30 minutes through the dreamy light that I was used to.
And Se-un and Yoo Seo-ah had to open their eyes wide at the fact that appeared in front of them.
“How did this happen?”
A fork in the road appeared in front of them. Judging from the angle of the aisle, it was by no means the first fork in the road.
It was a fork that looked exactly like the first fork or the second fork.
Something that doesn’t make sense physically.
Sewoon was convinced of this.
“It’s a fantasy.”
“A fantasy?”
“It must be some kind of barrier. A barrier to prevent intruders.”
“Then what now?”
“If the crossroads is a barrier, there must be a core that makes up the barrier. Just like the mana stones I used before.”
“If it’s nuclear… … . Are you talking about that?”
Yoo Seo-ah pointed to the crystal embedded in the crossroads.
Did they say hide in the forest to hide a tree? It was full of crystals everywhere, so he didn’t care at all.
The reason Seun, who was focusing on mana, did not recognize this crystal was because he could barely feel mana in the crystal.
However, when I thought about it, it was even weirder.
‘Compared to its size, the mana felt is weaker than other crystals.’
It’s as if he was deliberately avoiding other people’s attention.
Sewoon was convinced of this. In other words, the crystal in front of his eyes was the essence of fantasy.
As soon as he was convinced of that, Sewoon took out Durandal and held it up.
It is said that the wall is an indestructible terrain, but if this crystal is the core of the barrier, it will surely be destructible.
-Through the internal air, the third herb of the eighteen swords of Taishan, the Taishan Three Strikes (泰山三格) is strengthened.
-The power of martial arts is enhanced according to the description of Deep Gong.
Kaga River!
A sharp metallic sound echoed throughout the cave.
The noise was as loud as the energy and energy that went into it, so Seo-ah Yoo covered her ears with both hands without realizing it.
Even the echo that returned after spreading far away felt so great that it made me frown.
However, the crystal did not have a single wound even in the attack that went even with the technique of the extreme deep hole. even small scratches.
However, Sewoon could feel it the moment Durandal touched the crystal. The mana contained in the crystal wriggling to protect the core.
This made it clear that the crystal in front of him was the core of the fantasy barrier.
‘It seems that they are protected by magic, not by physical force.’
If it was like that, even Durandal couldn’t break it.
If I recall the memory of dealing with the creature, I didn’t think I could break the crystal even if I used magic.
‘then.’
– Opened the treasure house of greed.
[The sword that breaks illusions, Imagine Breaker]
– A magic sword created by the seven Magic Towers joining forces to attack the Black Tower. It has the power to cut mana itself, so it can break any magic or barrier.
An unknown power dwelled in Durandal.
Now that I realized that I can freely use the sword-shaped Noble Phantasm stored in Mamon’s warehouse by using Durandal while dealing with the ant ghost.
There was no need to save the power of greed.
Durandal, imbued with the power of the Noble Phantasm, was dyed red, resembling the shape of the original Imagine Breaker.
A sword that breaks illusions, or a sword that cuts magic.
The sword so called was rejecting even the mana of its master.
Mana drained from the palm holding the sword, and in less than a second, the hand trembled.
A sword created by a magician to reject magic.
Because of that, it is said that the magician who used this sword lost all his mana and lost his circle with that blow.
However, Sewoon was different. The mana directed from the circle to the hand was thoroughly cut off.
Extreme mana control using the tricks of the four magic towers.
After concentrating and confirming that mana was no longer draining, the moment the trembling hands stopped, Imagine Breaker revealed its form and emitted a red flash.
squeak-
Surprisingly clean cutting sound that makes it hard to believe that the crystal has been cut.
The magical power guarding the crystal did not buy even a moment in front of Imagine Breaker.
The crystal slid obliquely along the diagonally engraved solid line.
Inside, the crystal’s smooth cut surface was visible.
“Whoa… … .”
The power of the Noble Phantasm was scattered in Durandal.
Sewoon, who was concentrating on the circle’s mana rather than simply swinging his sword, let out a hot breath.
The mana was circulating again with the hand that had become pale due to the lack of mana.
“Sewoon, are you okay?”
It was only because he succeeded in momentarily controlling mana, that if he swung the sword recklessly, all of the mana would drain out.
It was because Seun had only read that this sword had the power to cut magic, and did not know that it also destroyed the user’s mana.
At least, thanks to the knowledge that permeated while using the Noble Phantasm, I was able to react quickly.
I thought I reacted quickly, but in the meantime, mana equivalent to three circles was drained.
through-
As the core disappeared, the illusion of losing power gradually faded.
The two separate paths merged into one, and the mana involved in the five senses also disappeared.
It must have been an illusion that deceived the senses and space itself, not simply an illusion that deceived the sight.
A fantasy barrier of such a high level.
‘Could it be that God was involved?’
It was unlikely that players or residents would be able to place such barriers.
middle layer. No, it was difficult for even the upper level players to create such a perfect fantasy barrier.
So it was only natural for Sewoon to think of God.
“Sewoon, that’s… … .”
While lost in thought, Yoo Seo-ah pointed forward with her finger.
Before I knew it, the illusion was completely lifted, and something was blocking the wider aisle.
A huge crystal wall. It was not a single layer, but a crystal wall made of layers of crystals piled up.
There was a blockage of power that was so powerful that it was difficult to compare to the crystal that Seun had just broken.
Obvious.
That is where the ‘secret’ mentioned in the ordeal is hidden.
It is the center of the Crystal Cave.
