Chapter 155: Secret Area, The Forgotten Relics Of The Gods (3)

The types of traps.

And their patterns.

Methods to solve and strategize according to the pattern and type.

Understanding all of them, he proceeded without a single mistake and broke through.

His movements were like those of a skilled thief.

Moreover, the Relic of the Forgotten God did not allow for the usage of Reconnaissance.

Everything was understood through his own experience and analysis.

It was easier than I thought.

Taesan himself was surprised. He had never broken through traps this quickly before. There were errors, it took more time, and sometimes he made mistakes.

But this time, it was a perfect strategy.

Is it thanks to this skill?

The skill to feel the will of everything, ???.

It was hard to express in words, but he could sense something from the traps. Thanks to that, its likely he intuitively figured out the strategy.

Not bad.

He felt good about this unexpected help, as it had taken quite a long time to see any real effect.

Taesan checked the trap he had collected while breaking through.

[Blessed Net of God]

[A net once used by a god himself. Now a relic of a forgotten god, its value has significantly decreased.]

This will be useful.

A net that was barely cut in half using Mephistos magic.

It seemed like it could be useful in various situations.

Taesan moved on.

No more traps were in sight. At the end of the endless corridor, he found a small door.

Upon opening the door, there was a statue of a goddess faded with time and an ashen knight.

[You have encountered the Apostle of the Forgotten Goddess.]

Apostle?

Taesan frowned.

As if confirming what he saw was real, a system window appeared.

[The opponent is a difficult enemy to defeat.]

[Desire for Battle has been activated.]

[A Fair Duel has been activated.]

[Proof of Limit has been activated.]

[Disdain for the Strong has been activated.]

[Half-God Theory has been activated.]

[Giant Killer has been activated.]

Strength filled his body. All speeds increased, and both attack and defense power rose.

Why do Apostles appear so frequently?

Taesan muttered as he drew two swords.

[You have activated Reconnaissance.]

As with most things related to the Forgotten Goddess so far, no information was forthcoming.

So much time had passed that the Apostle of the Forgotten Goddess was rotting and crumbling away.

The knight, who looked like he would crumble with a touch, lifted his sword.

Clink.

The sword, like the knight, was completely corroded.

Taesan narrowed his eyes, observing this sequence of events.

Does it lack intelligence?

Only the will to protect the goddess was evident from the silently sword-wielding knight.

Boom!

The knight stamped his foot. With a sword that seemed like it would crumble at a touch, he struck down at Taesan.

Clang!

Taesans knees buckled, feeling an intense pressure on his arm.

Powerful.

Even with a significant stat increase due to the challenging opponents skill, there was a clear difference.

He possessed a class and strength incomparable to Cain.

He probably conquered even the deep layers in his lifetime.

There was no time or leisure to delay. Taesan immediately activated Apostle Transformation. After returning from the gods battlefield and resting, the days cooldown had passed.

[You have activated Apostle Transformation [Lakiratas].]

Divine power filled his body.

A flood of various information entered Taesans mind, enhancing his entire body.

Clang!

Taesan pushed the sword away. The corroded knight took a step back.

Taesan slightly frowned.

Nothing?

Even in the overwhelming tide of information, there was nothing about the Forgotten Goddess.

But there was no time to ponder. Taesan lifted his sword.

[You have activated Apostle Slayer.]

He activated a skill to degrade the status of the Apostle. The aura surrounding the corroded knight weakened slightly.

Crack!

The knight charged through the storm and struck down with his sword.

Boom!

The storm exploded and disappeared.

Piercing through the swirling flames, the knight attacked Taesan.

Crack!

Blocking the attack, Taesan coolly thought.

Spirits, magic. Neither works.

Powerful skills indeed, but insufficient against the Apostle.

How about this, then?

His mana had slightly recovered while moving.

[You have activated Mephisto's Black Lightning.]

Black lightning pierced the knight.

The knights movement momentarily faltered.

It was a very small opening, but Taesan clearly saw it.

The damage was not insignificant at 200.

Black magic was effective against the Apostle of the Forgotten Goddess.

Having confirmed this, Taesan charged.

[You have activated Acceleration.]

The speed of the sword instantly increased. Slicing past the swinging attack, Taesan cut the knights arm.

Whirr!

The knight ignored the attack and thrust his sword.

[You have activated Flow.]

The moment Taesans and the knights swords were about to collide, the knights sword missed.

The knight, undeterred, continued to swing his sword. And all those attacks were diverted.

Taesan had timed his own sword movements to match.

And when the knights vulnerability was most exposed, Taesan dove into the knights chest.

Crunch.

Taesans sword pierced the knight once again.

The knight struck Taesans chest with his knee.

[You have taken 743 damage.]

Even though Taesan activated Sturdiness to halve the damage, it was still considerable.

However, it wasnt an unbearable level. He could handle this much damage.

[You have activated Strong Blow.]

Clang!

The swords collided, pushing the knights body back slightly. Taesan continued to match his timing and attack. The process of deflecting the opponents sword and landing an attack was repeated.

As Taesan dove at the knight, he activated Black Lightning. The knights body flinched briefly, and Taesan pierced the knights thigh at that moment.

[The Apostle of the Forgotten Goddess has taken 564 damage.]

He then lowered his stance and leaped up.

[You have activated Leap.]

Clang!

The knights body was lifted. The knight, as before, raised his sword. But this time, before the knight could activate a skill, Taesan rushed in.

[You have activated Continuous Attack.]

A fierce impact struck the knights sword. The hand holding the sword loosened, revealing an opening.

Crunch.

Taesans sword pierced the knight again.

He poured everything into the fight.

Taesan allowed a few attacks, but by avoiding direct hits, the damage was bearable.

As the battle progressed, Taesans attacks became faster and sharper.

It was thanks to the frenzy of struggle bestowed by Lakiratas.

Crunch.

Taesan forcefully pushed the knight back. The knight staggered and knelt.

Is this the end?

[It seems so.]

It hadnt been too difficult.

The loss of intelligence and the remaining instinct made it easier to predict for Taesan.

Notably, the knight had never managed to grasp Taesans swordplay.

If it had been a normal opponent, they might have recognized a specific pattern in Taesans actions and exploited it, but lacking intelligence, the knight showed no such signs.

However, the outcome had been perilously close.

Apostle Transformation had ended a while ago. The battle had taken a long time due to the Apostles incredibly high health despite Taesans relentless attacks.

The battle would have been forfeited for another opportunity if it werent for the slight damage inflicted by Apostle Slayer.

It was at that moment that Taesan was assured of his victory.

Clink.

The knights armor crumbled.

The sword corroded into dust.

The helmet broke, revealing the knights form.

Taesan hesitated.

Inside the armor was only an ashen aura.

The ashen aura burst out from the crumbling armor, gathering and forming a massive shape.

[The Apostle of the Forgotten Goddess has activated Soul Descent.]
