Chapter 154: Secret Area, The Forgotten Relics Of The Gods (2)

Taesan picked up the broken arrow.

[Self-Aware Arrow]

[An arrow that moves on its own to protect its owner. Currently broken and unusable.]

Taesan stared at the arrow intently.

The ghost, noticing his gaze, sensed something.

[What are you thinking about?]

Doesnt it seem manageable?

[Uh... Maybe. It's possible, but it seems risky.]

It looks worth trying.

Taesan lifted his head.

[You have activated Reconnaissance.]

A skill that provides information within the users sight. Reconnaissance.

However, nothing appeared.

Considering the secret passage of the forgotten goddess didnt trigger Reconnaissance, it seemed related items were immune to it.

[You have activated Trap Disarm.]

He activated Trap Disarm, but no window popped up. It was one of two possibilities: either there were no traps, or they were of such a high level that they didnt trigger Taesans skill.

Taesan was sure it was the latter.

He took a step forward. Simultaneously, an arrow sprung from the wall.

Swoosh!

The arrow, moving on its own and causing confusion in its path.

Taesan focused his mind.

[You have activated Mental Acceleration.]

Reading the trajectory of the self-moving arrow was pointless. What mattered was the vision and reaction.

Dodging arrows aiming for his limbs with barely any space to avoid, Taesan used his high agility to narrowly evade them all.

Then, the movement of the arrows changed.

They started flying towards Taesans blind spots.

But Taesan was ready for that.

His skill, Synchronization of the Eye, allowed him to see even beyond his field of vision.

With the help of his enhanced sensory skills, he could block attacks from behind as if he could see them.

An arrow flew towards Taesans shoulder blade. He waited until the last moment and then swiftly turned.

The arrow tried to change its course at the last moment, but Taesans delay prevented it.The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))

He caught the arrow in his hand.

Then, the arrow started thrashing wildly. It struggled fiercely to escape Taesans grip. As the arrow slowly slipped away, Taesan said,

Come.

Chalak!

Whips coiled around his arm rose and engulfed the arrow.

The arrow was fixed in Taesans hand. He exerted force and slammed it to the ground.

Kwaang!

The small passage vibrated.

The ghost asked in a worried tone.

[Isn't the arrow going to be shattered?]

It wont shatter.

The arrow wasnt so fragile as to break from just that much force.

Taesan exerted more force on the hand that had slammed the arrow to the ground.

After struggling a few more times, the arrow calmed down.

[You have obtained a Self-Aware Arrow.]

Taesan loosened his grip.

As he opened his hand, the arrow lay quietly in his palm.

The ghost was amazed.

[You actually caught it.]

Even to the ghost, the arrows movements were quick and unpredictable. Its speed was comparable to Taesans, and the wrong timing could mean not catching it until ones stamina ran out.

But Taesan managed to catch it in less than 20 minutes.

Taesan smiled.

See, it worked.

When he first discovered the secret room in Solo Mode, he encountered arrow traps.

There, Taesan caught the flying arrows and used them effectively to catch a Giant Rat.

The traps of the labyrinth became the property of the adventurer who captured them.

Recalling this, Taesan had taken a gamble, and it paid off.

Taesan examined the arrow.

[Self-Aware Arrow]

[Self-Aware Arrow]

[Current owner: Kang Taesan]

[User's level is insufficient. Attack power: 1]

Taesan threw the arrow. It hovered in the air on its own and began to circle around him.

Taesans smile deepened.

The blades were susceptible to the Ability Sword.

The judgment is looser than I thought.

Sometimes, skills didnt activate on traps and mechanisms, so he checked, and the result was satisfactory.

With this, the solution became clear.

Taesan caught his breath. He changed his selfish choice from power to strength and stamped his foot.

He had realized it when he used Flow just now.

The rotation of the blade was triggered when it touched the sword.

So, if he completely deflected the blade, it would be resolved.

[You have activated Strong Blow.]

He swung his arm roughly towards the incoming blade.

Clang!

Unlike before, where he merely blocked, the blade was knocked away.

As expected.

With Strong Blow activated, he could push it to a manageable level.

Taesan charged forward. The blades moved chaotically, targeting him, but he avoided what he could and deflected the rest with his sword. What he couldnt avoid, he ignored with attack nullification.

Thud.

Taesan reached the end of the trap without allowing even a slight damage.

It was a satisfying strategy. Taesan had a pleased expression.

Its been a while since Ive done something like this.

There were traps in the secret rooms on each floor, but with his current stats, they were meaningless. He could easily break the traps themselves.

It had been a long time since he had to properly strategize through a trap.

Taesan enjoyed such challenges.

How far will they go?

Taesan moved forward with anticipation.

More traps continued to appear after that.

Pressure plates that exploded upon touch, walls that crushed anything in their path, etc.

Taesan perfectly overcame all of them using skills and items.

The next trap was a net that would rise and drag whoever triggered it into the labyrinth.

Taesan first used an arrow to check the trap.

Since being caught wasnt an attack, attack nullification didnt activate.

There was no chance that a skill to disable immobility would work on such a net.

Checking if it could be cut seemed too risky, so Taesan started his strategy slowly.

After checking various things, Taesan gathered multiple pieces of information.

The ceiling opened, and the net fell to the ground. The fallen net pressed down hard.

After a certain time, the ground would open, disappearing into the labyrinth.

The trigger for the trap was impact.

Even the slightest impact transmitted to the corridor would cause the net to engulf the entire passage.

Then, the solution was simple.

Just avoid causing any impact.

[You have activated The Deer Walking on the Wind Path.]

He wrapped his body tightly with wind to prevent any impact from reaching the corridor.

After increasing his agility with a skill, he stamped the ground.

But the corridor was far. A single leap wouldnt be enough to reach it.

[You have activated Mid-Air Leap.]

So, one more time.

He kicked through the air and flew.

But even then, the corridor wasnt over.

Almost half of it was still remaining.

As soon as Taesans feet touched the ground, the ceiling opened, and the net fell. Taesan quickly stamped the ground.

He stuck as close to the falling ceiling net as possible.

[You have activated Mark.]

And the moment the net engulfed Taesan and touched the ground, he activated magic again.

[You have activated Random Blink.]

The mark fixed the position of Random Blink.

Thanks to the mark on the ceiling, Taesans body, under the net, moved above the net.

Since the net was on the ground, stepping on it didnt cause the net to fall again.

He stamped the ground and used Mid-Air Leap again to reach the end of the corridor.

However, Taesan did not pass through the corridor.

He continuously triggered the corridor to call forth the net.

After experimenting with various things, he found that Mephistos black lightning slightly singed the net.

Does it get damaged by dark magic?

After calling the net again, Taesan used all his magic to send another bolt of black lightning.

As a result, he was able to obtain about 1 meter of the net.

The ghost, seeing Taesans satisfied expression, exclaimed in admiration.

[Isn't this guy crazy?]
