Chapter 220 – 220. Performance Testing
After conquering the fixed labyrinth and the Demon King’s storage, I came to the open space behind the base.
Everyone in the party was asleep after conquering the simple labyrinth, probably because they were very tired. The rest of the dark spirits had all done their work, so it was just me and Agaf standing here.
Oh, there are also two Rameks. I brought these guys here because I had something to do.
“Let’s see.”
From now on, I plan to pick two each, Bival and Abalam.
As a result of using Lamek myself, I realized that it is much better to just pull these guys out and use them.
Well, I already have a lot of skills, and it’s hard to use all the skills I have, but trying to use the skills of these devil bastards makes my head explode.
There is nothing good about being greedy in a situation where we are even working on unifying skills. It would be better to just have a few main skills.
“Now, come out.”
Bival’s awakening stone and soul stone were melted.
Soon, a pitch-black bird-headed devil crawled out from the shadows.
“Caw!!!! Ugh.”
“Keeeeek!!! This place.”
As expected, both animals had their own egos, as expected from a boss level.
“Hey, Lamech.”
“Huh?”
“Who did you say was smarter between the two of you?”
“If you look at it objectively, I, the first one, have more knowledge.”
“You said that the second guy has a stronger body, right?”
“That’s right.”
Lamech said that the two are slightly different.
The guy sitting here reading a book is smarter, and the guy over there working on iron has a stronger body.
Since there cannot be two completely identical beings, it seems that this slight difference has emerged.
Therefore, since Bivaldo was divided into two, something different must have occurred.
This difference is very important. The usage will be different whether you use it as a tank or a scout.
Just as it was decided to use the first Ramek as a scout and the second Ramek as a tank, Bival must also closely understand the differences and use it when appropriate.
“Hey, Bival.”
“Caw!”
“Kkiek!”
“?”
They both answered almost at the same time, but their cries were strangely different.
Both bird heads looked the same, but one made a crow-like sound and the other made a pig-snapping sound that seemed a bit odd for a bird.
“From now on, we will find out the differences between you two.”
“Caw. No, what kind of bullshit is that!”
“What the hell is this! Why am I black? This damn human is blackwashing!!! “I can’t stand it!!!”
“You devil!!! Give me my color back right now!! Caw!”
“Oh shit! “Shut up, both of you!”
The crazy bird heads are screaming so loudly, as if they are competing to see who can speak louder, that it feels like my eardrums are going to rip.
“W-what’s going on!”
“OMG! What are you guys doing?!”
As these bastards screamed, three members of the blood demons who were wandering around approached them with guns pointed at them.
I was very embarrassed. The members of the Blood Demon also looked embarrassed as they pointed their guns at us and then hurriedly lowered their guns after confirming that it was me.
“Ha. It’s no big deal, so just keep doing what you’re doing. “It’s going to be noisy here, so don’t pay attention.”
“Ah. Yep…”
Bibal, this damn bastard’s aggro is no joke. Your voice is so good. It feels like it would be perfect for using a wide-area taunt.
“After. First, you both fight Lamech.”
“Huh?”
“Why!?”
Making them fight seemed like the quickest way to find out the difference between the two.
“Okay then.”
“Huh. Huh.”
Lamech, who was reading a book, put her glasses in his arms and pulled out her kitchen knife. Lamek, who was also working on her bench press, stood in front of Bibal out of breath.
“You are the first to be chosen as the soul stone. You, chosen with the awakening stone, are the second. Then fight.”
What difference is there between these new heads? Lamech will decide that for himself. There is no need to watch those bastards fight.
“Then.”
This time I pulled out Abalam. As soon as the battle with Bival is over, I plan to send Abalam in.
“Ugh.”
“What. “This place.”
As expected, these guys also had egos. But something is a little strange.
“What are you…?”
Abalam, extracted with an awakening stone, was one-eyed, but Abalam, extracted with a soul stone, had two eyes.
“W-what is it?”
“Hmm?”
“Huh?”
The two guys looked at each other’s faces and frowned.
What on earth is going on? They are both called Abalam? Where else does it look?
“What?”
“Huh.”
“Why. Has my past self turned black and is in front of me? Is this… Hell?”
At that time, one-eyed Abalam pointed a finger at double-eyed Abalam and asked.
[This seems to be divided into past and present.]
“Her. So which one is better?”
[Well. Should I try to beat it myself?]
As he and Agaf were contemplating whether to strike down Abalam, the double-eyed Abalam opened her mouth. The guy held out his palm as if to calm down One-Eyed Abalam, who was about to become hostile.
“For a moment. For a moment. Wait. You are me too. “I am you too.”
“What bullshit! And this bastard… Is definitely the one who killed us.”
“Okay. “We are already dead.”
“What?”
“Look. “You, too, are black now.”
“No!? It’s real!”
“Okay. You and me too. I’m not sure what it is, but I think it’s turned into something similar to this guy’s familiar. Right?”
The double-eyed Abalam asked me.
I nodded at what he said. Double eyes are smarter.
The current version, One-Eyed Abalam, was even dumber. Surprising. Has it degenerated?
“For now, go over there and wait. Let’s get it right.”
I pointed to Abalam where Bibhal was.
“Kwaaaaa!!!! Wings!”
“Keeeee!!! It hurts!!!”
Both were being torn apart by Lamech.
Among the Abalams who were watching the scene of the terrible slaughter, the double-eyed Abalam asked urgently.
“No. Wait, wait. Wait!!”
“What is it?”
“Why are those idiots getting beaten over there? Could it be… Revenge?”
“What kind of revenge? They’re already dead. “It’s not revenge, it’s a performance test.”
“What? Performance testing?”
“Okay. As you can see, you guys are strangely different. Then it will be difficult to use it. “I’m trying to figure out for myself where things are different.”
“Finding out. Did you mean to disassemble it? Crazy.”
“Okay. For your information, there is a slight difference in intelligence between the two Rameks over there.”
“No, wait. “I think I know the difference between you and me without having to break it.”
“What?”
“First of all, when it comes to intelligence, this guy and I are similar.”
“Really?”
“Probably the difference in knowledge possessed.”
Double-Eyed Abalam stretched out one of his hands and took out a very ominous looking book.
“Huh. “That is.”
“It is an item that belongs to my soul. It’s something called the Book of Wisdom and Evil. It looks like this can be pulled out. Furthermore, it seems that I was divided into two, me, who worked as a warlock when I was human, and me, who worked as a martial artist after I became a demon.”
“Huh.”
The double-eyed Abalam is a black magician, and the one-eyed one is a martial artist. Why did an intelligent warlock become a demon and turn into a martial artist?
I don’t know. First, Double-Eyed Abalam spoke very quickly. He seemed to become anxious after seeing the raindrops split in half and return to the shadows.
“For now, you don’t have to be punished.”
“Oh! That’s right! You don’t have to guess to know!”
It would be nice if I could tell the difference without having to hit it.
“But I don’t know who is stronger between the two. So let’s judge.”
But there are things you can’t find out unless you hit them.
“Oops!”
Two-eyed Abalam despaired at the fact that there was no way out, and one-eyed Abalam looked at us stupidly as if he didn’t understand.
******
“Let’s see.”
While Bival and Abalam were having their baby shower, I took out the boxes in one place.
“And. “It’s geography.”
[You collected a lot. The fixed labyrinth is definitely a bonanza.]
[Hey… What do I get when I open this?]
[This is why newbies. Tsk. Just be observant, just.]
[Ahh.]
Ainus closed his mouth at Agap’s words. It was hard to explain, but it turned out well.
“Okay then.”
There are as many as two black reward boxes. To turn this into a golden reward box, you need 3 more.
It was a structure that could make one gold out of five black pieces.
“For now…”
The collected red reward boxes were overlapped one by one to make them black. As expected, when I combined the 5, I got a black one.
[Isn’t it dangerous?]
“I guess so?”
[Do you have any thoughts?]
“Not really. I’ll stop before it goes more than 10 times. “I want to make just one more box.”
[Indeed.]
As Agaf asked, using reward accumulation is dangerous. The penalty for this skill is that your location will be revealed to the evil apostle.
‘If you accumulate it more than 10 times… You will definitely get caught.’
You can’t even erase this penalty. The evil spirit must have intervened in the skill and completely blocked it.
‘Therefore, it would be better to do box fusion in a shared labyrinth or simple labyrinth where the location does not matter.’
For now, just a taste. I made one black box out of the five red reward boxes I had. With this, I have 3 black reward boxes. If you get two more from now on, you will be able to get one more golden reward box.
“Next…”
Now that you’ve finished organizing the boxes, it’s time to get your reward.
There were about two rewards that needed to be received.
‘Reward for hunting the first named demon and conquering a fixed labyrinth.’
What will come out?
After receiving the reward and opening the golden box, the day’s work can be considered to be over.
“Let’s see.”
First, let’s check the reward obtained by killing the named demon.
[Reward List]
[One. Capsule for Human Transformation: You can extract registered humans with magic stones. Clones are created, blank slates with little intelligence and little sense of self. Humans registered as specimens are assimilated into the capsule and will die completely if replaced.]
[2. Egg case for human deterioration: A registered human can be modified and extracted. Intelligence will disappear, and perhaps the people chosen will not be human? I might become a devil. Once you put people in, does something come out?]
[3. Human Body Modification Capsule: You can put a human in it and transform it into a demon monk or mirror ghost. Modified humans have half of their ego erased and their wildness and violence are maximized. You can infuse demon energy to engrave the mark of a slave.]
This time too, there were three options.
[Did you notice?]
“Uh. Number 2 is strange again.”
As expected, there seemed to be a problem with compensation this time.
To be honest, the reward for the last evil spirit was the same. This is also the case. I’m very curious.
