Battle With A Demi-God - [ Chapter - 31 ]

After gaining the two abilities Scorpio looked like he wanted to see the abilities in action and so Ho-Seok asked him, "Go ahead tell me a lie, I want to try out this new ability." then Scorpio chuckled and said, "Sure.".

Then Scorpio said, "The sky is red." then suddenly a system panel appeared and said "The Entity 'Scorpio' has told a LIE", Ho-Seok was pretty happy that it worked and then he tried using Kthanid's ability next.

So he used his skeletal authority and created a thick wall of bones and out of his right eyes a beam of pure white light shot out and created a perfectly clean hole through the skeletal wall but it also destroyed some of the walls of the shop.

This angered Scorpio and he shouted, "You better pay for that!", Ho-Seok felt pretty bad about accidentally destroying his store and he gave him the a lot of blood to compensate the damages he made with the ability.

Ho-Seok couldn't believe that the abilities he was using were cut down by 75% and they were still this strong since knew that Scorpio's shop had an incredibly strong shield surrounding the walls of his shop.

And only a top ranker like "Devil's Sharpshot" could breaj through it but Ho-Seok's new ability was able to easily destory a thick skeletal wall while breaking Scorpio shield as if it was nothing so Ho-Seok was really happy that he got it.

So then Ho-Seok decided to visit Capricorn next but he needed something equivalent of a part of Cthulhu or Kthanid so he started thinking of something that wouldn't be useful to him but it would be a good trade.

Then he remembered that there is an artifact that can grant the holder an extra life, many people have looked for it but it was never found until the opening of the 15th floor because there was hidden messages on the floor telling where the artifact was.

Even Administrators who weren't allowed to physically do anything to the tower wanted it but there was only one way for an Administrator receive something from the tower and that is through players.

That's why Scorpio has a shop so that he can collect blood and he sells things that he has collected through means that the tower allows and they are all powerful at the eyes of Players but for him it's useless.

The artifact was on the fifth floor so that meant Ho-Seok had to go clear another floor's test and this time the test was a mini boss battle depending on the player's strength and it gets harder the more people.

Ho-Seok didn't need to prepare anything since it was just going to be a battle so Ho-Seok headed towards the entrance of the fifth floor and when he got there it immediately teleported him to the testing area.

[Ding! The Player's stats, level and strength is being scanned!]

[Ding! The Demi-God Corruptus asks for a challenge with a reward in exchange.]

When Ho-Seok saw this he realized that one of the Demi-Gods that was affiliated with the Goddess Of Corruption was going to try and killing him through legal means so that he won't get in trouble by the tower.

Then Ho-Seok asked, "What is the reward you speak of? If it's good then I'll accept it and if it's not then I can't believe that someone that is a Demi-God is rewarding trash." he said mocking the Demi-God.

[Ding! Corruptus says, "It's the Brain Of Kthanid! That's what your looking for right?"]

Ho-Seok was surprised that a Demi-God held something that even the Gods would fight for and so Ho-Seok agreed to the challenge and he was immediately transported to a poisonous swamp.

Then something started to appear from the black water and it was a Corruptus and it looked like he was created from poison but then it started talking, "Since you have upset our Goddess, now repay for your sins.".

Ho-Seok chuckled and said, "You guys are really old." then he immediately sprinted forward and the moment he was near the head of the Corruptus he immediately shot a pure white light using Kthanid's ability.

The moment the ligut hit Corruptus body it took out a chunk of his authority and it realized that Ho-Seok had Kthanid's purification ability from it's light and said, "WHY DO YOU HAVE THAT? THAT'S THE ABILITY OF THE GODS.".

Then Ho-Seok jumped onto one of the trees behind it and then said, "You have Kthanid's brain and your not a God so don't talk to me like that." then Ho-Seok took Calin out and started using the combined ability, Molten Electricity.

When he started using the ability he slowly planted shards of ice with high densities in it's body then he kept whipping him while he was doing that and then after a while Corruptus gave off a poisonous fog.

Ho-Seok had to back away from him since the poison he was creating was too strong and then he said, "Can't get close to me know and that means you can't att-", Ho-Seok cuts him off by making explosions of ice in his body.

Then Corruptus said while in pain, "You have NO HONOR, attacking me while I was speaking?! This is a fight treat it respectfully!" then Ho-Seok said while activating the rest of the ice shards in it's body.

"Your right, It's a fight and it means I have to do everything I can to win." the moment he finished saying this bigger ice shards started forming inside of Corruptus and multiple blades of ice went out of it's body.

[Ding! The Player, "Ho-Seok" has defeated the challenger!]

[Ding! The Player, "Ho-Seok" has defeated a Demi-God!]

Then Ho-Seok checked his inventory and saw that the brain of Kthanid was now in his possession and he was extremely happy about that and he started absorbing it to become a part of him.

His mental energy completely absorbed it and he got a brand new ability from Kthanid, "Great Thought" which allowed Ho-Seok's mental energy to grow even faster and is multiplied by 2 and allows the ability of telekinesis.

Ho-Seok's mental energy grew by multiple folds once again like he did absorbing Cthulhu's brain and he was extremely happy about this and he tried calling out his serpent dragons to see if he could read their minds.
