The first steps I climbed did not feel anything.

As I climbed the third stairway, I felt a sense of heaviness.

“… … Is it heavy?”

I was convinced as I climbed into fourth and fifth.

Every time you climb a floor, a weight is added to your body.

After all, even climbing the stairs was part of the test.

When I climbed those stairs about 10 stories.

[Your first test begins.]

The short staircase in front of me widened greatly.

When it reached the right size for battle, screams erupted from somewhere.

– Kiyi.

-Kekekek.

Goat-headed beastman.

Demonic tailed beings appeared with tridents.

“Baphomet?”

Baphomet.

Children of the demon Baphomet.

The Yin dimension where countless demons were born.

There, Baphomet, an existence that can no longer be anything but a lower race.

Instead of losing their authority, they were resurrected as numerous beings and became a single species.

it was showing up.

‘Total ten.’

They moved straight towards me.

Unlike me, there seemed to be no overload imposed on the body.

Because I was moving as fast as the speed in my memory.

In other words, there is a penalty on this side and no penalty on the other side.

“This is fun. I’m the only one who wants to fight while overloaded, right? It’s bad taste.”

– Kieh!

I didn’t take care of the small circumstances.

Whoo- whoo- whoo-

Raising the trident in a straight line, lowering my head and charging!

It was literally trying to pierce me with its five horns.

Five such Baphomets.

The other five memorized a spell as if trying to materialize flames.

It is a close range attack.

“It’s okay.”

Tuong! Empty!

I swung the chain and blocked four out of five.

– Kiek!

Horns and tridents are entangled in chains.

In the meantime, Baphomet’s eyes were filled with excitement.

You must have thought it was a success.

However, this one was left on purpose.

tereouk.

– Kkeok!

“Wouldn’t it be unfair if you died at the level you are now?”

I broke the trident with my young hand.

He swung his hand again and grabbed Baphomet’s horn.

– Kkei profit… … !

He is trying to get out of his captivity.

It can’t be.

[You are using Skill: Strengthening.]

[You are using Skill: Lift Weight.]

Strengthening spiritual power is natural, and it can’t be easy to deal with me who is learning all sorts of traps.

“Shall I show you something interesting?”

-Kkeueek!

Quadd deuk-

He broke the horns of the one he was holding.

The horn is a symbol of the devil.

No matter how low-level demons are, their greatest pride is always their horns.

How painful would it be to have such a horn broken?

“Hey, are you crying? Are you crying?”

– Kkei… … .

He howls in pain and falls to his knees.

Woowook.

I swung the horn while holding that guy’s neck in my hand.

As the horns struck him into his face, the rest of his body collapsed to the floor.

I pulled the horn again in that state.

“How are you?”

Patter.

The horns that were pulled out again began to scatter.

It seems that it is difficult to maintain the original form after the main body, the owner, dies.

However, there is a way to maintain the original form even at this time.

“Separation of souls. grant.”

[You used skill: Soul Separation.]

[You used Soul Magic: Endowment.]

The soul, split from me, was to be given to the horn.

As a result, the fragmented horns were able to maintain their shape through spiritual power.

In other words, it means that although it is fragmented, it is not scattered and is hardened again.

So how do you use these horns just to get hard?

After all, the application in combat is technology.

Powerful technology has always been the law.

“Should I pretend to be a martial artist? This is all hell, you devils!”

Baphomet just breaking free from his chains.

Baphomet from the back gathers power and blows huge flames.

At them, the horns I shot are fired nonstop.

Doo doo doo doo-!

What a spectacle of hundreds of hard horns shooting out!

– Khehehe!

– Kyeok!

Without needing to aim for the vitals, it penetrates every corner of their bodies.

The horns remained strong even after piercing the body.

The moment they are about to leave the test site.

“Not yet. One more step!”

The spirit-powered horns hurriedly reversed their orbits.

Orbiting horns were again pointing at the Baphomets.

-Ke eh… … !?

-Queek!?

Again, it was being shot at the surviving Baphomet.

This feat was accomplished because I was able to use my spiritual power at will.

The effect was clear.

cooong. thud.

All of the surviving Baphomets have fallen.

“Are you sure about the performance?”

[You have killed all enemy entities: Baphomet.]

[You have passed the first exam.]

It was a perfect and overwhelming kill.

Although he is a subordinate, a devil is a devil.

Having easily defeated such a demon, I was able to feel rewarded.

It means that my hard work has returned to me with strength.

“It was a taste I felt after a long time.”

It was also an experience for a long time.

Aren’t demons busy jumping when they see me these days?

I guess it’s because of the demon king next to me.

The demons here were different.

As soon as he saw me, he burned his will from before.

It was fresh again.

Because I was able to deal with real demons.

‘Is it because I’m bound to the test dungeon?’

The cause is unknown, but it doesn’t matter.

pass is pass

Thanks to that, I was very happy and tried to move on to the next one.

“Now, it is harvest time.”

It is the demon I still hold on to: the souls of Baphomets.

It’s time to absorb those ten souls.

If you absorb them, how much will your spiritual power increase?

“Existential predation.”

Looking forward to it, the moment you try to predation.

Something unexpected happened.

[You cast skill: Existence Predation.]

[You failed to use skill: Existence Predation.]

“… … uh?”

Existential predation failed for the first time.

* * *

The Existence Predation failed, but the spirit remained.

-Turn it off… … .

– Knock… … .

They suffered from being held by me.

The more I pulled, the more painful it was.

– Kkeok!

“aha.”

They had to go back somewhere.

But since I’ve got it, it seems to be a problem.

You will feel a pull from both sides.

“hmm… … Are they demons who are completely bound to the test dungeon? With a lifetime contract?”

-I think one of those guys nodded.

“Yeah. Is that great?”

– It looks great even to me. A lifetime contract with those demons is not an easy task, even for a lower class.

“Definitely.”

Is it really a test dungeon?

For the devil, a lifetime contract is near impossible.

Regardless of the lower class, it was difficult to entice them.

I’ve heard of the devil tricking contractors into making unfair contracts.

Isn’t it rare for a contractor to seduce the devil and make a contract?

It is a contract that binds even the soul.

Making it a lifelong contract itself was quite refreshing.

“It’s getting more and more interesting.”

– I was going to watch it at first, but it’s fun.

“Let’s see where we go up there.”

Because of that, I increased the speed of going up.

* * *

While the overload on his body was getting stronger, he reached the 20th floor in an instant.

self-

-kill! I’ll kill you!

– Kiki Kiki. It is death.

The beings that emerged from that test were Berserkers.

i.e. berserkers.

The types of weapons they were holding were all different, but the madness in their eyes was all the same.

Usually, there are many people who go mad and become berserkers.

The guys revealed this time were different.

I have a human body, and there was a yin energy that I felt in the middle of it.

It is the negative energy possessed by demons.

“They are completely used by demons.”

-It’s pickled properly.

They are berserkers who have fallen for the devil’s tricks.

It seems that the Demon King has already dealt with them.

I went a step further and even inferred my identity.

-They belong to the Führer of the Butcher.

“generalissimo?”

-You don’t know. Knollas. He is a mad demon who makes slaughter and murder his art.

“You crazy bastard.”

-So you can make a berserker.

The berserker of Knollath.

More powerful than normal berserkers.

Beings with excellent regenerative power because they use magic.

It is the devil who produces such beings.

I am interested.

The funny thing is, it doesn’t seem that hard to meet him.

– It’s been a while since I haven’t seen it, but it exists. Hopefully… … .

“Doesn’t it sound like the Führer is tied up here?”

-To agree.

“good. Let’s check.”

Like the devil’s intuition.

Somehow, the demon Knolas seemed to exist here.

Like other demons, they were bound to this test dungeon.

Let’s check that out.

charrr-!

– Kiyi!

[You have killed the enemy object: Knolas’ Berserker.]

[You are an aptitude object: Knolas’s… … .]

First of all, I’ll have to kill all those beings blocking my way.

* * *

30th floor, 40th floor, 50th floor… … .

The higher you climbed, the stronger the overload.

Meanwhile, all the monsters that appeared were engulfed in madness.

Crazy Baphomet.

A Si-Demon known as the epitome of berserk warriors.

Nolas, who makes an ambush in an invisible state.

Although the number and type are different.

Dealing with those very powerful entities became painful as time passed.

20th and 30th floors.

The overload felt on the 30th and 40th floors was different.

It wasn’t a gradual rise.

Step by step, the load felt on the body increased.

There, I was dragging even the crying souls.

Carrying souls trying to escape at every moment in the midst of feeling overloaded.

It was never easy.

The country was also slowly getting tired.

“The difficulty is severe, but this.”

– I prayed because of your greed. Why don’t you give up your soul?

“Can that be? They are precious.”

– Then, boost your spiritual power and protect it. Because the burden will be less.

[You used Soul Magic: Protection.]

“after… … Is it real?”

– It’s catchy, but it’s quite usable.

“thanks. By the way, what floor will I be allowed to go to?”

Even though the demon king uses magic called “catching” to protect it.

The higher I climbed, the greater the burden on me.

The dungeon itself seemed to reject me.

After each test, the dungeon asked.

[You may end the test.]

[A reward is prepared for you.]

[Would you like to end the exam?]

“Can you do it? refuse.”

It’s like being tempted by the devil.

From nob le mt l dot com

Just accept it now, and this pain will go away.

How high did he rise while ignoring messages like whispers from the devil?

“Kuh. I heard that if you go through hardships when you are young, you will get sick when you are old.”

-Don’t you usually use other words?

“Sour. Seriously, bones die? You should know this feeling.”

-… … Ugh. what can i say

In the midst of overloading.

I managed to reach the 90th floor.

sssss-

As soon as I reached the 90th floor, the dungeon was transformed.

It was much larger than before.

A huge vacant lot was created.

That’s right-

Then there was a roar in the clearing.

Every time there was a roar, a structure that did not exist was created.

It was like a stage for someone.

Intuition told me.

‘This is something different. Dangerous.’

This test is by no means easy.

It was impossible to feel that intuition, and the roar stopped.

Tsutsutsu-

Gate formed after that.

-Kiii… … An interesting person came?

The person who appeared in it was the first person I had ever seen.

It was the devil, not me, who revealed his identity.

-The author is Knolas!
