[Do you want to synthesize Intermediate Lunatic Trickster Skill? In this case, either Intermediate Trap creation, Poison Generation, Spider Web Crafting, Lesser Power Attack or Power Arrow will disappear.]

[The effects of magical and combat aiding skills will enhance this skill even further.]

[Example]

[No]

It was first apparent that Lunatic Trickster's skills were of a similar lineage as trap creation.

Spider Web Crafting is just a bunch of luggage, so it would be great if you could get rid of it this time. Poison Generation is a bit tempting, but it was nothing compared to a higher skill.

If you lose the power attack, it's a massive blow, but fortunately not. One of them was able to choose a skill to use as a material for skill synthesis.

I chose the Power Arrow, of course, and the skill synthesis took place immediately.

[Intermediate Trap Generation, Poison Generation, Spider Web Crafting, and Lesser Power Arrow have been destroyed.]

[Obtained Medium Lunatic Trickster Skill.]

[Intermediate Lunatic Trickster Lv1]

[1. Consume Time, Mana, Health, Weapons, Equipment, and Ingredient Items to create the desired type of Trap in the desired place of view. The size, power, and duration of traps depend on the type and quantity of goods consumed.]

[2. Can express other skills through Lunatic Trickster. Amplifies certain elements of a skill or adds new elements. This is random and consumes 1 skill level in return for skill expression.]

Lunatic Trickster had two abilities, as if it were not just a higher skill.

First of all, as I was familiar with, the capability of a complete top level compatibility of trap creation. I blew away all my worries so far.

Of course, there are other weaknesses to this skill, but it was clearly a much better skill than creating a trap.

But the second ability caused me to worry.

I don't like luck. Because you can't risk your life for uncertainty.

A skill that pays for its skill level and achieves a change in a positive direction, of course, but the variation is not as gambling as it is unknown. Moreover, I can't test it lightly because it costs money.

‘But it's not a losing skill. ’

All skills have their own uses. There will come a moment when Lunatic Trickster's second ability must also be used. I closed the notification window with everything on Lunatic Trickster in mind.

At that moment, A appeared. It was not in vain to polish the senses within Jinma's tower, so I was able to recognize Ei's existence and gaze in his direction.

Ei didn't really respond to the fact and said what he wanted to say.

“One more time. ”

“I know. ”

“Do you want to challenge me right away? ”

I looked around my body. You're still a Goblin. I have to go back to the body of Hopgoblin Athlete as soon as I'm done eating.

“I will. … but what about my body? ”

“1st Floor of Jinma Tower, 10th Conquest. It is.”

God damn it! Unlike the rain that seemed a little too friendly, A was annoyingly small. You feel like you're not saying the minimum amount you need to!

“Proof of truth. ”

Leaving just that, Ey really disappeared again. I changed my teeth, but the tenth challenge of Jinma's Tower really began with it.

And there was nothing left.

‘Nothing……? ’

I tilted my head. But nothing moved.

I took a step. But nothing moved.

I... have nothing in my hand.

Hands, feet, head, body.... There was nothing.

Although he had always cursed, until now, even the heart of the black that he had regarded as a partner that was separate from me was still.

No, that was obvious because there wasn't.

No, I don't have a heart to run. There is no blood to be shed. No lungs. I can't breathe. No, you don't have to breathe.

It didn't take much time for fear to eat me up.

‘I don't have it. ’

There is no self in this space.

Or was this space real in the first place? Does this space form as a space without me? If this space is real, why am I not conscious here? Am I gone?

Are the Goblins all gone and only remnants of my consciousness remain here? And soon this faint ritual...!

‘No. ’

For a moment, I really felt a fear that my consciousness would fade away.

Fear of being swallowed up unconsciously and unable to exist as an individual, I desperately swam out of it.

I desperately fell out of a subject that neither my arms nor legs nor my body could recognize.

‘I exist. ’

This is a safe training ground.

There is no loss of life. should not exist.

I'm not dying.

I have to get out alive.

I can't disappear without a trace in this place.

I exist.

My soul and body! This must be it!

At that moment, I had another idea. You turn the clock wheel back. I think of the moment when I killed Poison Scorpion and returned from the Goblin's body to the Hobgoblin Easter.

What was I thinking then? Think! Think!

‘It is said that the boundary between the soul and the flesh disappears, but is it possible for the already exaggerated being to regenerate temporarily? It's against the laws of the world. ’

Yeah, it is.

It was a question.

It's a perfectly natural question, and it's a very simple question to ask yourself why you haven't done it so far.

Ei said that I put all of my trajectories together, but can degeneration really happen?

Of course, everything that happened at Jinma's Tower was filled with mysterious things that my power could never accomplish. However, at least there was no sense of camaraderie in everything else. I felt that it had to be.

Why? Why do they only degenerate?

I realized.

'The levels and skills were intact. ’

Only my level and skills were preserved in this space from start to finish.

Even if the body degraded, they alone remained. I took it for granted. Why? Because I realized it was a self-accumulating rage.

But I was aware of it and did not question the degeneration of the body.

Of course, the reason is extremely simple.

because it actually happened. I was given no time to question the reality.

Intermediate-level sensing truly accepted it, and at that point I acknowledged and accepted that I had really degraded to Hobgoblin. Even if it can't be.

But what if it wasn't? What if I was mistaken?

What if I was the man I was from the beginning, the Hobgoblin Earlter? What if someone mistakenly assumed that they had retreated to Hobgoblin, and it had really limited their power?

If so, we can explain this phenomenon now. If Hobgoblin Ashter makes himself mistaken for a Goblin, it is possible to make him mistaken for a lost existence.

The moment I realized it, the black heart beat.

Not only did I not realize it, but the beating of the heart that had been there from the beginning until now began.

Boom.

The small beat gradually raised the sound.

At the center of the heart, blood vessels spread out in all directions. Flesh and bones were born. The blood fills the vein and rushes out. Mana reinforced it all.

Skin was covered over the flesh points. You put your armor back on it.

I recognized the shadow of blood in my hands. Swinging it, a smooth red shadow draws a trajectory in the air where nothing should be seen.

I was convinced of myself. Hobgoblin Ashter accepted what he had now confirmed from the Goblin body.

I was a Hobgoblin Earlter. It wasn't a Goblin.

My reality was definitely here now. I've never been weak. My only weakness was my heart.

No one but me can lower my temper. No one can touch their own soul! I realized the absolute proposition.

[Predatory Lv4. Improves the absorption efficiency of predators. Low-level skills increase your chances of gaining theft.]

[Intermediate Martial Arts is Lv8.]

[Intermediate Detection is Lv9.]

[Minor Story becomes Lv10 and evolves into Intermediate Story. Fairy tales become more perfect, allowing you to move your movements where you can see them and confuse your enemies.]

Many skills have grown at the same time as the realization. There was nothing that did not please me, but what pleased me the most was that I had thus completely surpassed Jinma's first floor.

Jinma's tower wanted this from the beginning. Fighting monsters is possible in dungeons.

I had to look out for myself, not a monster. I needed to know myself. I had to realize the rage and face it.

It's a little late, but somehow it's a pass point.

All the temptations and darkness were lifted together, and I finally saw Ei's surprised face that appeared before my eyes.

[Jinma Tower 1st Floor Conquest 10/10]

[Quest Completed!]

[You earned EXP 1,200,000!]

[You got 100 Gold!]

[Level Up!]

[Received 5 Medium Magical Potions.]

[You have obtained 10 Devil's Hooks.]

[Evolutionary.]

“That was quick.”

A middle-aged man with an incredibly handsome face said briefly.

But I shook my head.

“Too late. And it's not over yet. ”

“Isn't it over? …… maybe. ”

I ignored "A" and triggered a Lunatic Trickster. I never thought I'd be able to use this skill, but now was the time to use it.

[Choose a skill to express with a Lunatic Trickster.]

Skills to be triggered are at the edge of Intermediate Detection and Martial Arts.

Goal of Skill? That's it, isn't it?

It is to find out who has been playing with me like a toy and cut me down.

“It's impossible. Trickster is a superior monster. ”

“Whew.”

I smiled as I expressed Lunatic Trickster.

“That's an interesting name. ”

[Expressing detection with a Lunatic Trickster reduces the detection skill level by 1. Unlimited detection capability.]

[A Lunatic Trickster that lowers the skill level of a martial art by 1. Added an element that will attract tomorrow's energy and make it available today.]

Even now that my senses were free, 'Trickster’, 'Trickster', had not appeared to me. From the moment I first stepped into Jinman's Tower until just a moment ago, the monster was deceiving my senses with a trick I didn't know what.

Even if I did recognize myself, it would be a completely different matter to recognize him. It must have been something you couldn't even dream of, at least with a moderate sense.

But not now, not by Lunatic Trickster.

I crashed into the floor and consumed all the miscellaneous items in my inventory, creating a spider web trap that holds everything in one place in the air.

Nothing seemed to fall into that trap, but I didn't care. I was sure of that.

Black Lightning, Hematitis, and Power Attack are gathered together. I've drawn all the power I can tomorrow and put it into the sword. Health, Mana, all of it.

And then I yelled.

“Hiic! King! ”

The sword that shot out the entire space splintered with something.

[You got 1,580,000 XP.]

[You cannot level up due to faction restrictions. EXP is applied as soon as the limit is lifted.]

[You got 180 gold.]

[Trickster Kid has been obtained.]

[Intermediate Martial Arts is Lv9.]

[Intermediate Detection becomes Lv10 and evolves to Advanced Detection. The range of detection is significantly widened and the enemy's weaknesses can be identified. Allows you to feel items that are less powerful than your detection skill.]

[Lesser Power Attack becomes Lv10 and evolves to Intermediate Power Attack. Its power is amplified when you enchant a power attack, and you can consume Mana to instantly increase the length of your weapon.]

I landed on the ground, holding Trickster's corpse in my mouth, as small and humble as a bat. And I looked back.

“Impossible what? ”

Aye replied.

“Damn it, Vee. ”

[Magic Power has increased by 10.]

[You've got Beginner Illusion Magic.]

I pretended to have heard him, chewing on the Trickster and calling out a notification window. There was still one thing left to do.

[Evolutionary.]

Evolutionist to boost my morale.
