Chapter 512
Kwajijik!
He loops, cutting and splitting the Spores. And he accelerates even further. The speed was clearly faster than the Ghost in his prime.
Swaeeeeek!
He focuses his mind. Expands his vision and swings his sword.
Kwajik.
[Dealt 745 damage to Spore.]
With the sensation of something being cut, Taesan looped again. He didn’t even have time to check what it was.
The falling speed increases even more.
Taesan’s eyes could no longer see or react to anything. Taesan’s body is about to touch the ground, and at that moment, he loops again. As soon as Taesan looped, he swung his sword violently.
But the speed at which the sword is swung cannot keep up with the speed of falling.
The sword swung at the Spore barely misses. It was too fast to see and react. He fails to attack and loops again.
“Tsk.”
At this rate, it’s over. Taesan takes out a Potion from his inventory and drinks it.
[You have used the Potion of Physical Force Reset.]
Kuuuuung!
Instantly, a strong repulsive force covers Taesan’s body. The endlessly accelerating body stops as if caught on a chin.
Tadat.
Taesan landed on the ground. Bardray, who had been watching in a daze, was surprised.
[Huh? Why?]
“There’s one condition.”
If it was just about pulling the damage up to the square, it would be very simple. He just had to keep falling. But the condition of Multiplication was not the end of it.
One of the conditions of Multiplication.
It was necessary to hit the accelerating damage in the middle and reveal it to the system. He had to succeed in attacking at least once every loop.
That was why Taesan didn’t remove the cannon.
“This part is the problem.”
If the Acceleration rises above a certain level, it’s too late to swing the sword as soon as he loops. The speed of the body cannot keep up with the decreasing Acceleration.
Taesan, who finished recovering by drinking the spring water, took another step.
[You have activated Landing.]
[You have activated Super Acceleration.]
[You have activated Body Time Acceleration.]
Kieeeing!
The body begins to loop again. He swings his sword to cut and crush the Spores. The cannon fires and the Spores fly again.
‘It’s impossible to see and judge.’
If he tries to move anew each time he loops, he can’t keep up. As the falling speed increases, he will eventually not be able to follow it with his eyes.
So he calculates, reads, and judges everything.
He handles multiple loops with one movement.
Taesan looks at the cannon.
The cannon fires as soon as the number of Spores decreases beyond a certain level.
And the angles at which the Spores fly are not completely random. There is a pattern.
So he reads it.
One above the right arm.
One on the left wrist.
Two on the right leg. One on the head. One on the abdomen. And many others.
What is the order in which those Spores arrive at Taesan first?
He grasps all of it.
The calculation is complete. Taesan changed the trajectory of his sword after the Spore on his left wrist brushed past him.
Kwajik.
One Spore on the upper right arm is torn by the sword. And as it is, the body accelerates and loops again.
Taesan did not change the position of the sword.
Kwajijik.
And with just that, the Spore on his left wrist was split in half.
By calculating the position and height of the Spores, he handles attacks from multiple loops with one movement.
The Spores cannot keep up with Taesan’s speed. It was a possible tactic because it was as if they were stopped compared to Taesan’s speed.
He moves the sword quickly. One Spore on the right leg brushes past, and the Spore that was following behind is cut by the sword.
Kwajik.
And in the next loop, the Spore on the right leg that brushed past becomes the target of the attack.
The falling speed is gradually accelerating.
Taesan opened his vision.
‘One, two, three, four, five.’
How should he move to handle as many loops as possible with the least amount of movement? He makes a decision in an instant.
Kwadeudeudeuk!
And Taesan, with a single move
He handled all the attacks needed for five loops.
Kugugugung!
When the Spore it fired disappears, the cannon immediately fires a new Spore. Spores fly in as many numbers as were processed in an instant.
‘One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.’
Taesan immediately opens his vision and rotates his head. He handles seven loops with a single movement.
He handles numerous attacks much more stably than the first attempt. Attack power increases little by little.
[Dealt 798 damage to Spore.]
[Dealt 802 damage to Spore.]
[Dealt 806 damage to Spore.]
But it’s still not perfect. As there is no limit to Landing, the falling speed is gradually increasing. As much as that, Taesan’s response speed had to be even faster.
Kwajijik.
Taesan, who somehow succeeded in processing, quickly looked at the Spores. He quickly calculates the positions of the Spores and how to move in his head.
And his eyes shook.
There was no possibility of processing multiple loops at all.
He succeeded in quickly moving his body to solve the immediate loop, but from there it was already broken. The calculation could not keep up with the continuously accelerating body.
“Tsk.”
“Damn it.”
[You have used the Potion of Physical Force Reset.]
‘The reaction was slow.’
There are definitely cases where he can’t handle it at once. He knew it, but it had been so long that his reaction was momentarily delayed.
Again, he begins to fall.
Kagagagak!
‘One, two, three, four.’
He processes the loops at a fast speed. The body gradually accelerates and the speed increases.
This time, he looks more broadly, at various possibilities.
Kagagagak!
He loops and processes the Spores. And the cannon fires and new Spores fly.
At that moment, Taesan realized.
That if he continued like this, it would be the same situation as before.
That the possibility of processing the loop would not arise.
He already knew the solution. Taesan swung his sword and also moved his feet. One Spore is cut off, and the other is kicked away.
Kwaaaang!
As it is an attack with Acceleration, the Spore bounces off roughly.
But it doesn’t die.
No matter how much he attacks with equipment that does not have attack power, no damage is dealt.
The Spore hits the ground and bounces off. As it is, it collides with other Spores and their positions change.
As a result, the possibility of processing multiple loops with one action arose.
He moves the swords in both hands accordingly. Five loops are solved in an instant.
Kagagagagak!
He judges all possibilities, and if there is no possibility, he creates a path even if he has to make one.
Kwadedeuk.
[Dealt 1002 damage to Spore.]
He finally sees four digits of damage.
But it’s still not enough.
What he wants is the square. About 2500 damage. There is still a long way to go.
Kagagagak!
The body accelerates and accelerates. The surrounding space appears distorted and the vision is blurred. If the Labyrinth’s system did not protect the body, the whole body would have been torn apart by speed alone.
‘One, two, three, four.’
He judges the four possibilities and moves the sword.
And the loop ends in an instant. There was no room to spare as he judged the newly appeared possibilities.
Kwadeudeudeuk!
He moves the sword quickly, but it’s not enough.
In the end, the sword barely misses.
“Hmm.”
Taesan uses a Potion and escapes again.
‘Is this the feeling.’
The sense that was still awkward and close to imitation began to return perfectly.
The adjustment of the senses is over.
“Then I should get it soon.”
[Already?]
Bardray was surprised. There wasn’t little preparation time. But considering the effect and conditions of the Skill, he thought it would take at least several months.
But he’s already thinking of getting it. He couldn’t help but be surprised.
“There aren’t that many opportunities.”
In order to escape the infinite loop, it was necessary to reduce the speed himself. But Landing is basically a type of Skill that cannot be canceled once activated. Taesan himself could not reduce the Acceleration.
It’s not that there are no Skills related to speed, but there was nothing that could solve this level of Acceleration.
The item for that was the Potion of Physical Force Reset.
It instantly reset the applied physical force itself and eliminated the Acceleration.
The problem was that it was too expensive. Taesan only had two Potions of Physical Force Reset.
“This is enough.”
He can get it enough if it’s him now.
Taesan began to fall again.
Kagagagak!
He loops, cutting down Spores. The falling speed gradually accelerates, making it impossible to catch up with the body’s movements.
So, like before, he judges all possibilities, reads them, and sees them.
But he doesn’t solve just seven or eight loops.
Even more than that.
He calculates and moves up to ten, twenty, thirty loops.
Deugaga’gagak!
He moves the swords in both hands and moves his feet. One Spore is cut off and one is kicked away.
[Kaaaak!]
The kicked Spore flies towards the cannon. The trajectory of the cannon that collided with the Spore is twisted.
Kuuuuung!
Spores are fired from that cannon.
[Kieeeik!]
The direction the Spore flew was the cliff.
The Spore that was flying in the fired direction
Collides with the cliff and staggers. The Spore, which is barely trying to come to its senses, is split in half by Taesan.
The number of Spores flying is fixed. The limit is up to seven or eight times by simply calculating the number of cases.
So he creates the number of cases himself.
And that was an impossible method for him in Easy Mode.
The Easy Mode that was him on the other timeline was definitely excellent. He identified the numerous conditions that exist in the Labyrinth, and obtained powerful Skills from them.
But he had never fought anything with his life on the line.
He felt a threat to his life only at the beginning when he didn’t know anything, but after reaching a certain level, he was able to descend the Labyrinth stably. He perfectly fulfilled the conditions and calculations while obtaining numerous Skills, but the experience that could only be gained in actual combat was completely empty.
The previous him barely obtained Multiplication after countless repetitions. Rather than creating new possibilities, he relied on luck.
But not anymore.
He has grown more than he did in Easy Mode.
The current him can control the environment and create situations.
Kwajik.
He strikes the Spore. It collides with the cliff and bounces off. He moves the swords in both hands, swinging them according to the position and height of the Spores.
Kagagagak!
He cuts them down.
The recoil of the Spore bouncing off the cliff. That speed. And when Taesan accelerates to what extent, where will the Spore be?
He perfectly calculates and controls all of it.
He repeats the loop and creates new possibilities. The speed gradually increases and the damage exceeds four digits.
Infinite fall.
Unable to withstand the accelerating speed, the body begins to appear distorted.
If he had not been protected by the system, he would have burned to ashes long ago.
But not yet.
Taesan swung his sword. He no longer felt the sensation of cutting something, but the system window definitely appeared in his vision.
[Dealt 1435 damage to Spore.]
