Faith Life of a Former Scammer

059. How much is a life worth?

The top floor of the Training Tower was a place covered in a veil. Rumors always follow these secret places.

“The devil is sealed there.”

From the rumor that the devil is sealed.

“Those who have conquered all the top floors can get everything in the Training Tower.”

Rumor has it that treasure can be obtained.

“The top layer does not exist.”

In fact, there is even a rumor that there is no top floor.

Even though the tower was managed by the Kwon family, these rumors continued to be created.

Before returning, there was no way that Leon could just ignore this rumor. Naturally, I asked Gwonseong about the top floor.

“What’s on the top floor that’s why rumors like this are spreading?”

“I do not know.”

“uh? Does it make sense that you don’t know?”

“… … I really don’t know.”

Kwon Sung did not answer until the end. But the silence was the hint.

‘It’s one of the two.’

really don’t know

Anything really important

Of course, there was no way that he wouldn’t know in a book that had subdued the tower and even renovated it.

‘There’s a manager.’

Kwon Ga said he was managing the tower, but he wasn’t doing anything in particular. It simply opened the door and screened out visitors.

‘The manager who drives the tower and makes the Equivalent Exchange work.’

It was clear that the ‘manager’ was on the top floor.

‘Perhaps Richie.’

With Richie as the manager, everything fits perfectly.

The reason why such a great tower can exist and why it is kept secret. everything is understandable

“Philip, the moment the door on the top floor opens, go right in and destroy the devil.”

“All right! devil! I am here!”

Philip stared at the door excitedly.

“open it!”

with Leon’s words.

bang-!

“Stay still, devil!”

Philip jumped in, and Leon poured out the prepared technique with a stick.

“10 stacks! Belief Light Spray!”

Then a voice was heard from within.

“I came all the way here… … What, what!?”

Kwakwagwagwang!

Koo Goo Goo!

bang-! bang-! bang-!

Kwajik!

Faith spilled over him.

“Hey, you crazy bastards!”

A voice of indignation rang out.

As expected, it seemed impossible to catch a lich like this.

“Whoa! rip!”

bang-! bang-!

Philip swung his fist as if he would not give him a chance.

“Down! The question is next! grow up trust!”

Kwakwawang!

Leon also poured out divine power from behind.

“Lord, how do you answer when you’re dead!”

“Faith makes anything possible!”

“You crazy bastards! 10 seconds only! Wait a minute! hey!”

The top layer was dyed pure white with divine power.

* * *

Even after the holy power storm passed, the guy was fine.

“great. It’s not easy, right?”

“These stupid things. Your sloppy attacks won’t work.”

As soon as he realized his attack didn’t work, he became arrogant.

‘Seeing that the divine power doesn’t work, he’s not a lich.’

Leon’s prediction was only half right.

There was a guy who looked like a ‘manager’, but he wasn’t a lich.

It wasn’t even a skull bar in the first place. It was somewhat foreign, but it looked like a person.

“Bugs. Congratulations to all of you who have come this far… … .”

“Nope. shut up for now You’re not ready to talk yet.”

“What?”

Well, it didn’t matter if he was a lich or whatever.

First of all, we had to create an atmosphere for conversation.

“Philippe, what about the batting side?”

“It doesn’t work.”

“Ha ha ha! Divine power, physical power, at least not even mana can touch me! I am invincible here!”

Holy Power, Physical Power, Mana Immunity.

It was strong enough to contain the word invincible, but it wasn’t without a method.

“Right now, get down on your knees and bow before me. Don’t give up the prize you’ve come up to here.”

Leone’s ‘anger’ only got stronger at that proud figure with his chin up and his chest sticking out.

‘Prepare the Bixby. Siri also backs it up.’

[I was waiting! Fully active anger!]

[Assorted Set (Physical) activates.]

With the body buff, tremendous energy was put on his body, and a great amount of anger began to gather in his club.

Divine power swayed through his body, and red anger swayed around his club.

“What kind of joke are you doing?”

The guy couldn’t grasp the situation and acted leisurely.

“Have you heard of Gungnir?”

“Gu, Gungnir!?”

A 100% hit spear.

Artifacts in mythology and legend.

“Well, it’s a technique similar to that. If you can endure this, I will admit it.”

“It’s okay even if you’re immune! Because I admit it! Hurry up and get rewarded and just go down!”

At the mention of a skill similar to Gungnir, the guy’s attitude changed as if he was taken aback.

Rion didn’t care about the guy’s attitude and raised his club.

“That, what is that!”

A stick that turned bright red.

Leone took a stance as if to throw.

“no. Shall we have a conversation?”

I intend to have a conversation, of course.

But not now.

“Gungnir, the spear of penetrating force!”

“Wait a minute!”

Of course, there was no such thing as Gungnir. Leone ran to where the guy was, grabbed him by the collar, and swung his stick.

“You are 100 percent right! Just great!”

“… … uh?”

Quagga gaga go!

With the sound of something grinding, the guy’s shoulder fell off.

iron puck.

What fell was not a human body. It was just a big lump of blood.

A clot made of blood.

“Oh, no!”

The boy started to struggle.

“Is that blood?”

“Let go! my blood! blood-!!”

The clotted blood slowly disintegrated and began to return to its original form.

“no! No absorption here! let go!”

The guy desperately tried to get out of Leon’s hands, but it was not enough.

As soon as he realized he couldn’t escape, he immediately lowered his head.

“… … please. Please let me go.”

I’m finally ready to talk.

“Now, answer quickly. If you act mean, you’ll be beaten with Gungnir. Did you see it?”

“yes!”

As soon as Leon heard his answer, he let go.

Even when his arm was cut off, he did not attack. This meant that he had no means of attack in the first place.

“Already such a loss!”

The guy hurriedly began to ‘absorb’ the gore.

Gulp.

I was just standing on the gore, when I heard the sound of something being swallowed.

Soon all the gore was absorbed by him, but the arm was still intact.

“Do you treat me?”

“Oh no!”

It was immediately clear why he refused. Before I knew it, the arm was ‘made’.

“Now, let’s talk about it earlier. Shall we try it now?”

“yes. I will answer with all my heart!”

* * *

As Leon thought, the guy was right as a ‘manager’.

A being who manages and maintains the tower.

The reason why the Tower of Training was built and the top floor was kept secret was for some absurd reason.

“So, the punitive force couldn’t beat you?”

“Yes. Thanks to that, we negotiated then and now we are running the Tower.”

Mana, holy power, physical power. Immune to three things was not a lie.

The subjugation party couldn’t kill the guy.

“That’s why there are no records on this side.”

It was a draw, but strictly speaking, it was close to a subjugation failure. Therefore, no records were left, and it was kept secret.

Besides, his presence was also a problem. It was something like an artificial creature created by a warlock.

“So what did you say of artificial blood?”

“This is Artificial Blood Spirit 007!”

The blood spirit artificially created by the black magician was his true identity.

[Strictly speaking, it is more like a creature than a spirit.]

Moreover, he was not a success, but rather a failure. The proof was that he had a physical body, not an elemental body.

“I roughly understood. Well, actually, it’s not that important.”

“Yes?”

The important thing wasn’t this.

“What is the reward we talked about earlier?”

“It’s a perk that allows you to learn any skill.”

It wasn’t a bad perk, but it was the original reward.

“What can I give you now with a knife below your neck?”

“… … Rather, I think I should ask. What do you want?”

He said he survived after negotiations, but he wasn’t stupid after all.

“Uh huh, I have to tell you how far it goes.”

“I only manage the tower, but I am under its influence. Anyway, to the impact of equivalent exchange… … .”

This friend hasn’t come to his senses yet.

“I’m asking how far the equivalent exchange with your life goes. What is it? like an amateur.”

The boy’s eyes trembled mercilessly.

* * *

Negotiations with 007 ended successfully. The first meeting was not good, but in the end both sides were satisfied.

“Thank you very much! I wish you good luck!”

“okay. Have a good time!”

Replenishing 007’s lost blood was a godsend. Thanks to this, I was able to achieve better results than I thought.

Of course, there were also minor problems.

“Lee, Leon.”

“uh?”

“Sorry.”

“it’s okay. You will recover soon. Thanks to that, 007 recovered too, and the negotiations went well. Thanks Philip.”

“Hehe. no.”

I heard Philip’s laugh behind me. Leon was carrying Philip on his back.

‘I thought it would be small because it was a 0.03 percent loss.’

Even though the blood was drawn while receiving divine power, the amount was so large that Philip suffered from anemia.

It was natural to carry such a Philip on his back.

“Philip.”

“uh?”

“You know how little time we have, right? I’ll go down and explain right away.”

“Okay.”

Leon explained calmly.

“There are a total of five skills we can learn. Simbeop, Kwonbeop, Gakbeop, Footbeop, Jangbeop. You will learn five things like this.”

“alone? What about Leon?”

“I heard you were negotiating. We should also record it. Time is running out, Philip, you have to learn.”

“Ah, I see.”

At Leon’s serious words, Philip nodded.

“There is only one thing to go down and find. Find the one with ‘reverse heaven’ in it. I will learn everything from you.”

“Wait, can you? That reverse?!”

If you want to die, learn the radish of Yeokcheon.

It was a phrase that everyone has heard at least once.

A martial art in reverse where the mana management method goes beyond the general category and goes backwards.

“That’s mana users, what are we dealing with?”

“ah! trust!”

There was no way that turning the divine power backwards would be bad for the body. This was possible because of the use of divine power.

“Yes, faith does not hurt us. That’s why you learn all five inverse sets.”

“Oh, I see! I’ll try!”

“I’m not trying to do it, I’m doing it unconditionally. I’ll also give you an intelligence blessing.”

“Okay!”

Originally, what he was aiming for was the martial arts and martial arts of the Kwon family.

‘If the negotiations went so well, the story would be completely different.’

However, the plan was greatly modified when five were available to choose from.

‘It’s a combination of divine power and reverse heaven.’

For some reason, I felt a little disrespectful.

Outside the Tower of Training the next day.

The man of the Kwon family shouted.

“Open the front door!”

Koo Goo Goo!

After a day passed, the closed tower door opened. After waiting for a while, two people walked out from the inside.

“thank you for your effort. From now on, you are the official guest of the Kwon family.”

He politely bowed his head towards Leon and Philip.

“no. I learned a lot.”

“It was an honor to be able to come to the Training Tower!”

Philip and Lyon also greeted him.

“If you have time, would you like to stop by Kwon Ga?”

“Ah, we would be honored if you invited us.”

“The teleport gate is ready.”

He guided Leon and Phillip to the teleport gate. After Philip and Leon walked away from the tower, another man from the Kwon family who guarded the tower entered the tower.

He immediately entered the hall on the first floor and began to check the techniques.

“Where are you supposed to be here… … .”

The record of technology that would normally be invisible was clearly visible to him. This was the privilege of the administrator, Kwon Ga.

However, something he shouldn’t have seen was visible in his eyes.

[Equivalent exchange not satisfied.]

The phrase, which would normally only be seen by customers, was visible to him as the manager.

“no way!”

There was only one situation like this.

This was what happened when the value of technology was higher than the manager’s authority.

Skills above the express level!

The masters of the technique were the two priests who had just left.

A letter announcing a state of emergency flew to Kwonga.

The guest’s rating was determined.
