Return of a Regressor

On the first floor of the tower, there was an important hidden piece that couldve affected the whole tower and humanity. Although it was only revealed on the 20th-floor by the Tree of all Knowledge Gnosis that on the first floor the start of the tower that humanity couldve increased their time left on earth by double.

He then spoke of the location of the Domain on the first floor. Players found it but it was too late. The chance for more time had expired…

But this time I know of the hidden piece and this time humanity will have more chances.

It didn take long to get to the location when my agility was 1575.

The location of this domain was inside a deep and pitch-black dark cave.

I really can see inside this thing.

[Looking at the Stars Eye Lv.1 has given you the ability to see indistinguishable areas.]

Oh, I almost forgot about this.

Alright, now I need to feel where this domain could be since I could already tell that this cave has many routes.

”… ”

”Hey, hes just standing there. Should we strike now? ”

”Are you kidding? Don you see us dying right now because of that mans speed? How can someone move like that and not get tired? ”

”Lets wait it out because he might lead us to some valuable stuff. ”

I think I found it! It has a different type of mana than everything else in this cave.

Alright, lets head there fast. I can also slay some monsters within to increase my stats and skill levels.

”Hey, he just went into the cave! ”

”Damn, this bastard doesn waste a single second. So-Yung! Hurry and use that tracking skill of yours. ”

”R-right. ”

Now then, this door…

-When you encounter this domain, the doors will be wrapped in chains and a giant red X marking. You may need to gather materials in the cave that holds the domain in order to be allowed entrance.-

This fits the description. Now how to open it.

I place my hand on the center of the cold door.

[You have discovered the Domain Earths Final Chance.]

[This Domain needs a specific amount of monster material in order to enter.]

[Spider Claw needed: 20

Goblin Stone needed: 45

Poisonous Tonge needed: 60]

Only this much? I gained triple the amount its asking for. Guess I should feel happy that its only asking for this much.

[You have transferred the required amount to enter the Earth Final Chance Domain.]

The doors glowed a blue light as the surrounding chains started to disappear.

[You now may enter the Secret Domain.]

With a single push, the doors open to a dark arena.

Angel took a step forward into the domain, followed by more silent steps, taking his weapon silently too, as if there was something he didn want to wake up. Until…

…!

… Something suddenly wrapped him in thin threads made of mana.

”We finally got you! ”

Who the hell are these guys?

A group of five popped out, 3 males and 2 females.

Oh no, this will ruin the chance!

”Even if you
e fast, you won be able to escape from that spot. ”

”Sorry to say this, but well be taking all of your stuff and then kill you, haha…! Oh, I just got an idea. Hey, So-Yung, why don you do the honors and slit his throat open to prove your commitment? ”

”W-Why do I have to? ”

”Oh, are you saying that you want to join that guy, too? ”

The obviously scared woman pulled a dagger out of her hip and headed toward Angel. Once in front of him with her head down, Angel noticed something was wrong. The moment she lifted her head, her face could be seen filled with tears dripping down her face.

Oh no!

”I-I don want to do this after all. ”

”Why, you little bitch! Ill take care of it and then Ill be taking my time with- ”

Before he could finish, Angel had broken the mana thread just by flexing his muscle a bit and jumped to the woman in front of him, embracing her to dodge the sudden attack thrown at them.

The domain doors also started to close.

A giant ax the size of a man ripped through the floor, crashing into two members of the group that had shown up and killing them.

”Huh? ”

[Player Pin Ujin has been eliminated by the Domain Boss.]

[Player Pak Si-U has been eliminated by the Domain Boss.]

”Kyaaa!! ”

”W-w-what w-was that? ”

Suddenly, light filled the room from touches hung around the domain, lighting a bright red fire.

Then the sound of heavy footsteps and the ax retreating to its source.

And there it was, the boss of the domain.

[The Ogre Of All Endings has noticed your presence.]

The boss roared out, shaking the entire place.

[Ogre Of All Endings has activated the Skill Battle Cry Lv.5]

[The effects of Battle Cry Lv.1 have been nullified.]

Shit, I wanted to do a surprise attack on it when it was sleeping in the darkness. So this is the boss I must defeat in order for that great reward.

The giant ogre had four arms, each holding a chained ax or flail. While also having three heads and wearing heavy armor.

”Hey, are you okay? ”

”Huh? Y-Yeah. ”

[Looking at the Stars Eye Lv.1 has been activated]

[So So-Yung is currently under the effects of Battle Cry Lv.5]

Tower Coins: 0]

[Blessing of the Angels: This Unique Skill allows the user and chosen Players to greatly increase their stats. This ability also allows the user and chosen Players have their Skill level go up depending on the level of this Unique Skill…]

Two Unique Skills!

I look up at the Orge status next.

[Ogre Of All Endings Lv. 100]

Level 100! The boss on the first floor was only at level 50!

Even with all my skills, this fight could get deadly for me.

!

As Angel thought to himself, the boss had thrown two deadly attacks at him and the women.

Without a second thought, Angel got up from his spot and quickly unsheathed his sword, and absorbed both of the attacks with a tense and serious face.

[Boulder Defense Lv.1 has been activated.]

[Body Enhancement Lv.1 has been activated.]

Even with [Boulder Defense] and [Body Enhancement] on this attack is still very heavy!

Although Angel struggled to absorb the attack, he was still able to defect it.

Damn it.

”Hey, So-Yung was it? I need you to use your Unique Skill. ”

”My Unique Skill? But I don know how to! ”

”Thats fine. Just think about using it. ”

”B-but…! ”

The boss was ready to unleash another attack.

”Hurry! If you don use it now, we
e all going to die! If you can imagine using a skill, then imagine helping someone! ”

Its about to unleash another attack! So-Yung!

~I don want to die… But I also don want the people helping me to die either.

Tears began flowing out of So-Yungs eyes.

~I want to be useful… So that nobody important to me will die!

[So So-Yung has activated the Unique Skill Blessing of the Angels Lv.1]

[So So-Yung has nullified the effects of Battle Cry Lv.5]

A golden light surrounded So-Yung and Angel.

[Player So So-Yung has granted you a blessing.]

[All stats have been increased!]

[All Skills have gone up one level higher!]

A surge of power filled Angels body.

So this is the blessing of an angel.

Thank you. Now we have a better chance of beating this thing.

The next second, another barrage of attacks with all the bosses weapons aimed at Angel.

With Angels new power, he headed to the boss at full speed. But this made the Boss change its weapons trajectory mid-air.

But it didn matter since Angel was able to dodge the flails and deflect the axes when it was close to hitting him. And with a giant leap, he got up to the Ogres faces.

[Elemental Aura Lv.4 has been activated-Type-Lighting.]

[Electrifying Blade Lv.5 has been activated.]

[Aura Of Different Dimensions Lv.1 has been activated.]

White electricity wrapped Angels sword, along with a distorted aura.

When Angel thought he could cut off the head of the Ogre, he was surprised by the sudden surprised attack the Ogre had stored up.

Flames hotter than lava were inside the Ogres mouths, and the next second it had been released. The flames were shot out like a flamethrower at Angel, burning the ceiling to char.

[Wind of Anemoi Lv.3 has been activated.]

Thankfully, Angel was able to dodge in time with the help of the wind.

I also got myself burn…!

The Ogre had noticed it had missed and pulled its weapons back at it at full strength to hit Angel from behind.

This Ogre is smart!

Again, with the help of the wind, Angel was able to dodge all the attacks but suffered a deep cut on his thigh, which healed up completely the next second.

What? Is this the work of [Regeneration]? No, it can be even that skill couldn heal that fast.

[So So-Yung has activated the Unique Skill Godly Heal Lv.2]

I see now.

Damn, Im back to long-range.

”So-Yung, how long can you use that skill? ”

”Not much longer… ”

”Alright, I need to end this now, and quick! ”

”Sir?! ”

A giant amount of mana shot out of Angels body.

[Elemental Aura Lv.4 has been activated-Type-Lighting-Water.]

[Electrifying Blade Lv.5 has been activated.]

[Aura Of Different Dimensions Lv.1 has been activated.]

[Wind of Anemoi Lv.3 has been activated.]

[Demonic Sword Flame Lv.1 has been activated.]

[Boulder Defense Lv.2 has been activated.]

[Body Enchantment Lv.2 has been activated.]

The stacking of many skills started to make Angels arms go numb.

[Angels Will Lv.1 has been activated.]

[Angels Will] helped relieve some of the numbness, but not too much.

I used my head quickly and concluded that I will only be able to have this amount of power for about 20 more seconds.

… It all depends on these 20 seconds.

Angel took a step forward, smashing the floor with a burst of unmatched speed. Even the Ogre had trouble seeing what had happened, but it still was able to see where he was and unleashed multiple attacks, throwing one of its axes and flail on the ceiling and floor to make it bounce off and hit Angel.

5 Seconds.

Angel could dodge better than before and made his way to the Ogres heads. Until another attack from the front from the other two ax and flail were heading towards Angel, but it didn stop at that. The Ogre had pulled back the weapons he had launched first back at Angel.

10 seconds.

”Lets get rid of these annoying bastards! ”

With a single swing of his sword, he manages to cut off the three of the weapons from the chains. Before being hit by the flail behind him.

13 seconds.

The Ogre looked victorious when it had to happen, pulling his last flail back.

… But something was wrong. Why did it still feel Angels enormous mana? And coming closer to him!

On the back of the flail that the Ogre was pulling back was a man holding onto the spikes.

The Ogre had realized he still hadn died. But Angel was in the position he hope for.

With a giant leap even faster than before, he met eye-to-eye with the Ogre. The Ogre had something in its mouth this time too.

But Angel was prepared for it this time.

”So-Yung! ”

”Right! ”

[So So-Yung has activated the Skill Tidal Wave Lv.2]

So-Yung had summoned a giant wave of water.

[Complete Magic Control Lv.2 has been activated]

[So So-Yung has activated the Skill Complete Magic Control Lv.2]

Controlling the body of water, Angel and So-Yung both made the water reach him at great speed.

The Ogre had fully charged the attack in a second and opened its mouth to the red flames again. Fortunately, the water had made it in time to get in front of Angel as he charged through the flames, using the water as a shield.

17 seconds.

All the water had turned into vapor and no longer protected Angel, but the flames of the Ogre were also about to finish.

So, without a second thought, Angel went through the remaining flames and popped out the other side to meet the confused and surprised Ogre, meeting it with burn marks on Angels face.

Lets end this already!

Using all the skills he had stacked up, both hands were on the handle of the sword, Angel swung his sword with all his strength. Then…

[The Skill Electrifying Blade Lv.3 will now go through an Evolution.]

19 seconds.

[The Skill Electrifying Blade has evolved to…]

It felt like everything was quiet in this one second. If I failed, humanity would never find this domain. Everything might start all over again. Everyone… Would…

… Die?

[Ultimate Last Flash Slash Lv.2 has been activated.]

Just like a flash of light, the Sword Of Dark Dimensions cut through the thick neck of the Ogre Of All Endings.

20 seconds.

The head of the Ogre had finally gone flying.
