Chapter 149
Uh, what?
The Saint was horrified.
He was a magician in his own right.
He realized that what Taesan had just done was magic.
And he could feel that its level was so high, he couldnt even come close to it.
Its quite useful outside.
Taesan muttered, stirring the air with his hand.
[You have activated Blazing Orb.]
Blazing flames formed around Taesan.
With a gesture, the Blazing Orb flew towards the followers of the God of Mystery. The Saint, terrified, raised his hands.
Barrier!
An opaque magical barrier appeared. The followers, who had regained their balance, reinforced the barrier.
Kaang!
It shattered against the Blazing Orb.
Fragments of dispersed flames enveloped them. Those directly hit disappeared without even screaming, and those touched by the sparks couldnt last long.
What, what is this!
A flame created without chanting or almost any time for manifestation. Yet his barrier was shattered like this. The Saints eyes widened, and Taesan appeared confused.
Why so weak?
Despite being a transcendent being beyond mortals, even if of lower divine stature, Taesans power was incomparable to them. Yet, the magic was too low-grade.
[Gods can't easily bestow their power. Even on their own followers, they require a price. Remember in the labyrinth?]
Then they should offer a tribute.
[Think of the level of tributes you offered, and you'll have your answer.]
Ah.
Taesan nodded, repelling magic as he did.
The equipment descriptions in the labyrinth alone made it clear. The value of equipment from the 10th floor was extremely high, even outside.
Offering a few such items was necessary to learn magic.
By outside standards, offering relics that could be called treasures would not be an exaggeration.
Definitely difficult outside.
Taesan muttered as he continued manifesting magic.
And one after another, they failed to stop the followers.
[You have activated Wind Explosion.]
A magic rarely used in the labyrinth, at best used to block arrows. Wind Explosion.
Aaaaa!
Eek!
To them, it was like a storm. Unable to resist, they were blown against walls, disappearing into the forest.
Taesan indifferently continued to manifest magic.
The easily formed magic was a disaster in itself.
Ah, ahhh.
And all collapsed.
Taesan triggered Frost Arrow.
Crack.
The statue of the God of Mystery, who had crawled from the bottom, shattered.
[You have destroyed the statue of the God of Mystery, who had crawled from the bottom. The God of Mystery, who had crawled from the bottom, has been expelled from the Battlefield of the Gods.]
[The gods of the Labyrinth are pleased.]
[The god of magic is incredibly happy. He is utterly satisfied with your actions.]
Massive energy disappeared into the skys rift, along with the souls of the followers.
Taesan immediately moved to the next one.
The next god was the one who moved the twisted cliffs.
As the name suggested, this god venerated strength, and his followers were similarly inclined.
Aaaaaah!
Dozens of men, twice Taesans size, charge at him.
They grouped together and started pushing Taesan back.
Feel our strength!
A particularly large man among them shouted heartily.
We are those who can push mountains!
You do have the strength to say that.
Their pressure was quite heavy. With this kind of strength, they really could push mountains.
Though it would be more like very small hills.
But Taesan actually possessed the power to move mountains.
He braced his entire body and stepped on the ground.
Crack.
Just that motion cracked and depressed the ground.
He strengthened his back, pulled his shoulders, and then pushed forward.
Wh-what?
Woaaah!
The bulky men were flung away as if shot from a cannon.
The eyes of the particularly large man widened in shock.
The taste wasnt great, but it was enough to satisfy his hunger.
Taesan, who was eating slowly, paused.
He turned his gaze.
Nearby, a golden light was visible.
[Well, it was about time.]
Its later than I thought.
Both the ghost and Taesan waited calmly.
The bushes parted as if they had a will of their own. A being, before whom even nature would bow and worship, had appeared.
A being adorned entirely in gold revealed itself.
[You.]
An emotionless gaze directed at Taesan.
[Before you is the brightly decorated god of swords. You've encountered Mantra.]
Taesan appraised Mantra.
At first glance, he looked similar to a human, except for the lack of hair, and could be considered a typical handsome man.
But every part of his body was made of gold.
Fingertips, irises, lips - all were golden.
It felt like looking at a giant fortress made of gold.
[For a mortal to appraise a god.]
Mantra narrowed his eyes. That action alone caused the surrounding grass to die and the ground to dry and twist.
[Intimidation Judgment in progress...]
[Fear Judgment in progress...]
[Confusion Judgment in progress...]
Just like when he met Maria before, dozens of judgments flashed by.
Dismiss it.
Taesan shook his head.
A notification of success in all judgments appeared.
The judgments of Mantra, a lesser god from the outside, were nothing compared to Maria.
Not even the real deal.
Taesan knew. The entity before him was not the true form of the god. It seemed like some sort of avatar.
Strong, but that was it.
There wasnt the sensation of seeing something enormous like when he saw the gods of the Labyrinth.
Is it because of the difference in rank?
The rank of the gods from the outside was lower than that of the Labyrinth. That might be why Taesan felt no special emotion.
Mantras eyes, looking at Taesan, wavered.
[Why does someone like you have such a rank]
What?
[No, it's incomplete. It's nothing to worry about.]
Mantras shaking eyes steadied.
[Mortal. Become my servant.]
Mantra spoke as if pronouncing a verdict as if a god was giving a decree.
[You have a power derived from filthy things, but it's usable. Become my servant and have the honor of dedicating your soul to me.]
Do you think I would accept that?
[Then there is only death.]
Mantras calm gaze turned towards Taesan.
Sharp blades pierced Taesans entire body.
It was hard to move even a fingertip, and the sensation of death crept up to the back of his head.
[Instant Death Judgment in progress...]
[Judgment failed! Death descends upon you.]
Mantra spoke calmly.
[Die, mortal.]
Death descended upon Taesan.
Taesan looked on emotionlessly.
The opponent was a god.
He knew long ago that it was an entity beyond resistance.
But at the same time, he knew he would never die.
[That's enough.]
An interference occurred.
The absolute death targeting Taesan dissipated.
The space split, revealing the presence of a colossal entity in the artificial world.
[Instant Death Judgment has been lifted.]
The impending death disappeared. Taesan brushed off his clothes.
Its later than I thought.
[I was aiming for a dramatic timing.]
Mantra showed panic for the first time.
[You!]
[For a god to directly interfere with a mortal is quite shameful, Mantra.]
Lakiratas, who appeared on the battlefield, chuckled.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
