121. Chapter 121
Seun opened his eyes half a day later.
The first thing I saw was Yoo Seo-ah’s sleeping face.
Apparently, he had been by his side while Sewoon passed out.
‘What happened?’
Using the Satyr’s stigma, he broke the amethyst and absorbed the divinity.
At first it was bearable, but after that I had to put up with the pain like being burned in hell.
I didn’t know what was going on in front of my eyes, and I just focused all my nerves on enduring the pain.
Then, at the last moment, the memory of the last time he held out his right hand to the wolves who bowed their heads toward him was over.
Seun, remembering this far, raised his right hand.
‘This?’
There were no satyr stigmas. The familiar mountain goat’s horns had disappeared, and in their place were the savage fangs of a wolf drawn with red lines.
As if recognizing Sewoon’s gaze, the stigma shone red for an instant.
It was only then that Sewoon was able to remember everything.
– The remnants of the plate left in ‘Satyr’s Stigma’ are completely absorbed by the owner’s case.
Remnants of the vanished plate.
In other words, this stigma was no longer part of the stigma stolen from Pan, but it became the seat of Seun itself.
-The constellation ‘Crow with Head Down’ looks at the shattered amethyst and gets frustrated.
-Congratulations to the constellation ‘Serpent Surrounding Envy’ for expressing its own character.
‘It’s my own level… … .’
An achievement that even Sewoon before returning couldn’t achieve.
Such an achievement was manifested only on the 7th floor of the tower.
Even though it was said that the power of the two demons supported them from the beginning, this was truly surprising.
While Sewoon looked at the stigma on his right hand for a long time, Yoo Seo-ah, who had been dozing off, woke up.
“Sewoon! Are you okay?”
“As you can see, I’m fine.”
“What happened? I was surprised that you collapsed suddenly.”
“Strength… … should i say i got it? Anyway, everything went well, so don’t worry.”
“What a relief. How worried you were.”
“thank you. Did anything happen?”
“yes. I checked the clan chat, and there were people who were moving on to the next floor after completing the ordeal.”
“Who fell?”
“Not yet. And strangely, they said they couldn’t turn on Clan Chat during the ordeal on the 7th floor.”
Seun and Yoo Seo-ah are said to have entered a hidden ordeal, but the original ordeal was what is called ‘the identity of the mirage’.
It’s an ordeal that tests the player’s patience, so it seems they blocked the use of Clan Chat.
It was information that Se-Won, who had not joined the clan before returning, was unaware of.
‘The state of the body… … .’
I got up from my seat and tried to roll a circle.
The circle full of mana rotated vigorously. The same goes for short circuits.
The energy consumed in the battle with the scorpion had all been restored.
“If it’s okay, I’m thinking of starting the next trial right away.”
“I’m fine. Sewoon, are you really okay? You were down just a moment ago.”
“As you can see, it’s brisk. Rather, it feels like I woke up from a good night’s sleep.”
It wasn’t a sound to reassure her.
I don’t know if it’s because I absorbed the divinity, but my body was surprisingly lighter than before.
Plus, the stigmata in the shape of newly formed wolf fangs. I wanted to quickly check the power of this.
To do so, the following ordeal was most appropriate.
“… … all right. Then go right away.”
As soon as the ordeal begins, there may be a battle, so Yoo Seo-ah took out his twin swords in advance.
A smile appeared on Seun’s face as he chose the next trial.
Since he knew what the ordeal of the floor was, he had always been expressionless, but it was different now.
A newly changed stigma. And the second ability that dwells there, and the second potential of Seun’s nickname. My heart was already beating fast in anticipation of using the power of ‘Frenzy’.

-Welcome to the challenge of the 8th floor.
-Subject: Ant nest in the heat wave
-Time limit: 10 hours
-I found a huge ant nest while traveling in the desert.
-The ants here are known to be a great danger to travelers around, so you and your companions decide to subdue them.
– Defeat 100 or more ants within the time limit.
The hot sun hit my head.
Seun and Yoo Seo-ah, who had been in the cool crystal cave until just a moment ago, were unable to adapt to the heat.
As much as the ordeal on the 7th floor has changed, I wondered if the ordeal on the 8th floor would have changed as well, but the ordeal on the 8th floor was the same as the ordeal Sewoon went through before returning.
“That must be the anthill, right?”
“I guess so.”
“What kind of anthill is the size of an apartment?”
When I raised my head, I saw the subject of this ordeal, an ant nest.
The anthill, darker brown than the desert, was more like a jagged outcropping of rocks than a house.
If it wasn’t for the hole in the middle, it would be hard to think of it as an anthill.
However, if there was a difference from a normal ant nest, it was the size.
As Yoo Seo-ah said, the anthill was the size of a decent apartment, and it seemed to indirectly inform the number and size of the ants.
The content of the ordeal was not to destroy the ant nest, but he seemed to know the reason why he was told to hunt only 100 ants.
It was impossible for a player on the 7th floor to destroy that anthill in 10 hours.
“Shall we hide inside? Fortunately, I don’t think I’ve ever seen security… … .”
“No, going inside makes it rather difficult to move.”
“Maybe?”
“It’s fine if you’re going to hunt one or two, but isn’t that too tantalizing?”
-The constellation ‘The Hungry Prince’ nodded broadly, saying that they had the same idea.
-The constellation ‘The Hungry Prince’ gives a thumbs up saying that he knows how to eat.
The content of the ordeal was just to hunt 100 ants, but Seun had no intention of stopping it.
It may be the least consideration of the system for the player, but Seun’s goal is to completely destroy that anthill.
No matter how hard you hunt in the passage, it is impossible to defeat all the ants within 10 hours.
so.
“Then how… … .”
“I have to let them crawl out on their own.”
– Opened the treasure house of greed.
[ Fire Cannon ]
– It fires extremely compressed, high-temperature flames with the fire-type magic of the Fire Pagoda.
The shape of a cannon made of flames was created in front of Seun’s hand.
Fire Cannon.
As a 5th circle fire magic, it was the most powerful level of magic that Seun, a 5th circle user, could use.
The target is the center of the anthill.
To be honest, it didn’t matter much where I was aiming. I don’t think I’ll be able to destroy the anthill with this blow anyway.
As he concentrated his mana, the energy of flame began to rush in front of the cannon.
It couldn’t even compare to Fireball.
The moment when the cannon ball, created by the extreme condensation of heat, is built into the cannon.
Quaang!
The cannon spewed red flames and fired cannonballs.
Even so, the heat of the heat made my skin feel prickly, but when the heat of the flames was added, a haze wriggled all over the area.
Yoo Seo-ah raised her hand to protect her face from the heat, and at that moment, a cannonball flew and crashed into an anthill.
Ordinary cannonballs would end up causing shock, but the fire cannon that Seun fired was a cannonball compressed with extremely high temperatures.
The impacted cannonball spewed out the heat it contained.
gurrr!
aaang!!
A huge explosion occurred with hot flames.
No matter how powerful the explosion was, the aftermath came upon Sewoon and Yoo Seo-ah, still brimming with heat.
Seuniya didn’t take a big hit thanks to her basic magic resistance and crystal skin, but Yoo Seoah was different.
In response, Sewoon lowered the temperature around her with the ‘Templicator’ magic he had previously used for her.
Part of the anthill where the explosion occurred collapsed.
The reaction came immediately.
Wheein!
Winged ants flew up from under the walls shattered by the explosion.
They dyed the sky black in an instant, but at a rough glance, the number exceeded hundreds.
doo doo doo-
Worker ants protruded from the front, at the lowest point of the anthill.
Among them, there were also several soldier ants that were particularly large and showed sharp teeth.
Befitting the size of an anthill, they had a size that was hard to believe for an ant.
Each is about 1m in size.
They clenched their teeth menacingly as they raised their heads to punish those who dared to destroy their homes.
-The constellation ‘The Hungry Prince’ shouts of cheers saying that the upper leg will be broken.
“Yuseo, are you okay?”
“… … I will follow as much as possible.”
-The constellation ‘Crown Spider’ raises its front leg, saying it is a good opportunity to use its fourth leg.
Doo doo doo!
Wheein!
Hundreds of ants approached, filling the field of view.
I want to sweep it towards magic right now, but I have the strength to check.
The stigma on the back of his right hand radiated a blood-red light, completely different from the previous blackish-brown color.
Previously, it was very difficult to manifest the power of the stigmata, but now, just recognizing the stigma itself manifests its power.
-Stigmata now responds to Tale of Blood Rage.
-Stigmata’s second ability, ‘Frenzy’, is awakened.
The red energy emanating from the stigma climbed up his wrist and surrounded Sewoon’s entire body.
I felt a surge of energy all over my body.
I wanted to swing my sword right away and tear the enemies in front of me.
A kind of Berserker state. No, if Berserker is usually in a state where he loses his judgment and is consumed by murderous intentions, this is an ability that is more compatible than that.
– Through internal air, the blood roar, blood roar, and ceremonial herb of the blood sword method are strengthened.
Aww!
The inner energy that flowed through the dantian formed the shape of a huge wolf and howled loudly at the sun.
It wasn’t just a threat. The roar was mingled with sharp, invisible sword spirits.
The ants, who flinched at the roar as they ran to the front, were cut helplessly without even thinking about blocking the sword.
The legs are amputated and the stomach is torn out.
Even if they blocked the sword, their teeth couldn’t block Seun’s attack.
Sewoon, whose whole body was stained red, pierced through the dead bodies and ran toward the back row.
Every time Durandal moved, their bodily fluids soaked the sand grains of the desert.
It wasn’t just physical ability or inner strength that made him stronger.
– The power of ‘Lightning Wave’ is enhanced according to the tricks of the Black Tower.

Jigsaw Jigsaw!
A dark purple electric current spreading around Seun.
Since it is not a high-circle magic with a wide range attack, it is originally at the level of causing momentary stiffness or paralysis to such an opponent.
The magic manifested in Seun’s hand, encroaching on madness, electrocuted all the ants around him.
The ants were burned black from the inside, and the surroundings vibrated with the peculiar odor of insects.
The second power manifested after fear, frenzy.
It was a power that not only increased physical attack power, but also raised the owner’s power itself extremely strongly.
-Stigmata now responds to Tale of Blood Rage.
– The stigmata’s first ability, ‘Fear’, awakens.
The ants began to tremble in fear in front of the absolute predator.
